  Speaker 1: Welcome back to Midnight Movie Theater. Tonight we're going to
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: be talking about the conspiracy of the Polybius Arcade Cabinet.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I'm here with Colton, as always.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Hi.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: So the Polybius Conspiracy, it's an urban legend from Portland, Oregon.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: It originated in Oregon, in the Portland area, I guess,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: in 1981.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: The whole thing is that it's like a blank arcade
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: cabinet was said to start showing up in these arcade
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: bars or arcade halls or whatever they were called back then.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: And it was completely blank. Kids started playing it and
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: it started freaking them the fuck out. They were having
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: seizures and stuff. It'd give them headaches. And the show
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about specifically is the Polybius Conspiracy.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: It was done by Radiotopia. The showmakers or showrunners were
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: John Frechette and Todd Ludo. I hope I'm saying that
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: last name right.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I don't. I think they kept saying Luado. Sorry to
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: interrupt you.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: No, go for it.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: You were on fire, but they kept saying Luado. Luado.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that looks right.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Did you watch much Eastbound and Down? Yes. Do you
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: remember the season where Ashley Schaefer goes to Black Biker Week? Yeah.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: And they shout out Bob Duato? No. He made the sculptures.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Every time they said that dude's name, I thought of
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Bob Duato.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably related somehow. Before we get into any spoilers
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: or anything like that, basically this is like an audio
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: documentary episode. that follows around this guy named Bobby who
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: claims to have played Polybius in 1981 when he was
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a little kid. And he quickly experiences some strange events.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: And then he's kidnapped and brought to the National Forest
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: or the state park in that area, 60 miles from
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: his house. So it almost sounds like a men in
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: black type of situation that we got going on here.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Stranger things-y. It felt like, as far as him coming
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: back and no one believing him and stuff, it felt like,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: very much the first season of stranger things. Yeah.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Like there's like some government something or other, some government
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: testing going on with this arcade cabinet or some shit
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: or some mind control type of situation we got going
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: on here. It's a little vague with all that. This,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: they do include some like historians, like video game historians
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: that are interviewed throughout the show and people that grew
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: up in the area. And all that stuff was really interesting,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and they gave a lot of good insight about that
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: time period and stuff like that. But if you do
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: want to check this show out, there is going to
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: be a giant spoiler that we're going to give away. Probably,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can't imagine not doing it beforehand.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I thought you were about to a second ago. Yeah,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I'm getting ready to.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: But if anybody does think this sounds really interesting and
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: they want to... Check this thing out. It's seven episodes,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: about 30 minutes a piece. I would say if you
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: go into it blind, like if you are wanting to
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: listen to this, it's probably best. So listen to that
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and then come back and listen to our breakdown of it,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I guess.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, very nice.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's only like probably about nine hours of your
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: day or whatever. I think it was probably around under four.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was under four. And it all listened pretty fast.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Like it went pretty quickly every time. And the way
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: that they set it up, the way they tell it,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: it just, every time it starts, the story feels like
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: it's starting to lull a little bit. Something in the
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: plot will reel you back in and be like, next time,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: on the next episode. It's like, fuck, all right, let
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: the next one play.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I know. Yeah, I blew right through this thing. The
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: production's great. Yeah, they always end on like a cliffhanger
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and shit. It's just like, dude, it gets you sucked
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: in right away.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Definitely sucked me in.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Bobby will suck you in if the episodes don't, that's
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: for sure. Or maybe Mark. There's some interesting characters in
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: this that suck, for sure.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So we'll get to the big reveal. If you're on
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: board right now, this is where we're going to... Explain
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: what's really going on in this show. So going through
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: this thing, we were both convinced on our first time
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: listening through that this was a legit documentary. And it
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: wasn't until I finished it that I... There was one
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: spot in it that raised my eyebrows a bit. And
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I was like, is this for real? So at the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: very end, I checked it out. And this is actually
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: like an audio drama. This is all... made up and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: written and produced.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah i had i had absolutely no idea looking back
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: i felt kind of there there were parts that definitely
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: stood out that i was like yeah but but i
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: mean it's it's it's very believable and it all feels
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: the writing is very done very well and just how
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: they like i said how they set up the flow
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: of the episodes is all it's very enjoyable and it's
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: a very good.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Listen Yeah, for sure.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: It, it, the writing is great. Like that was one
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: thing I was almost like on a second listen going
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: back through, I was almost more impressed the second time
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I was like, damn, they like really nailed this. Like
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: to make this sound authentic. Yeah. I was fucking, it
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: was good.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: My thing on the second, on the second listen was
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the first time I listened to it, I like initially
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: or wanted to start taking notes, but, but didn't, I
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: was like, I'm going to listen through it and then,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: you know, see what I see, catch what I catch.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: go back through and then I'll do notes and shit.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: But yeah, going back through in hindsight and knowing after
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: the first listen that it wasn't, you know, a real documentary. Yeah. It, it,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: it made me be like, Oh, well I'm not going
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: to write that down. You know what I mean? Like
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: there was a, the Tempest, the, the tournament they had
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: in the first episode, I think they played Tempest and
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: he was like, Bobby was fucking nice at Tempest and
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: had all, all they said he had all 10 of
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: the high scores on the whole game. It's like, all right,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Bobby's fucking, you know, nice at Tempest. And then they
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: had the tournament and he just got fucking cooked by
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: everybody and didn't even play. And it's like, was that
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: like just, you know, did he have an off day?
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: You know what was happening?
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: And it was like, yeah. That's what I was wondering.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I wonder if, like, a bunch of fucking ballers came
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: from out of town and they just, like, stomped his
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: ass into the ground. Because before that, yeah, it sounds
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: like he's going out of control. He's taking up every slot. Yeah,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I was like, what happened? Or, you know, maybe he
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: was tired from selling meth to everyone in town that day.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Spoiler, another damn. Another damn day. Another thing that kind
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: of crossed my mind, too, on the second listen, when
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I was thinking through the part about the high score
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: and him getting cooked at the tournament was maybe he was,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: you know, had a guy on the inside, doctor. And
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: he was helping the fucking flood. He was hitting it.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: He's like, you know what? My boy, Bobby, all 10, baby.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: You see this? Bobby's got all 10 on here.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Any of you bitches want to fuck Bobby or what?
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Look at his name. He can't beat his damn high score.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: They called him Bobby Ten Spot in that bitch.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Bobby Big Dick in there. Blasting away on Tempest, dude. Dude,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: when he's talking... So this is basically all episode one.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: And when he's talking about how he's like... When he
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: first got to Polybius, dude, and starts playing it, he
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: is so full of himself. He's just like, yeah, I was.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I was playing this game about the same way that
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: most people play regular games, and it's like the hardest
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: game in the world. And then I finally.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Much more difficult. Yeah, yeah.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I was fucking blasting through it, and then he's like,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and then the final level is just, you're getting blasted
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: by everyone all around you. And when he was talking
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: about that, I was like, I think he might be...
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Getting this mixed up to what happened to him when
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: he got kidnapped. Like, being in a dark room, surrounded,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and just getting blasted on.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I was like, I'm getting fucking really taken aback too, baby.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: It was... It was interesting, because.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: And with the three fingers.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: So but oh but they talk about a lot in
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: episode one I was kind of surprised like on the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: on the re-listen when I was taking notes I was
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: like dude they cover like everything in episode one yeah
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: it's like fucking what now yeah what else what the
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: fuck are you doing for six more episodes we know
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the whole thing now alright cool the kid got abducted
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: did some fucking things he didn't want to talk about
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: but he talked about and then nobody believed him and
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: everybody thinks he's a fucking freak and a liar The end.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I know. I was like, dude, it's so rude. I
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: couldn't have been more wrong.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: No, there's so much more left to get into with Bobby.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: So much more of a fool of himself to make.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Was that word? I think it sounded all right.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I think it worked. It's kind of wild because his story,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: so basically he plays plebs so hard that he gets kidnapped.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: He goes to Coin King and plays there and then
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: he goes home. He gets a headache. He drinks like
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: a glass of milk or something. And then some dudes
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: just bust into his house and kidnap his ass. And
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: then he wakes up 60 miles from his house in
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the woods. And so this is the part that I
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: was like, okay, this kid got raped for sure. Because
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: he's instantly just like, I woke up and there was
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: some guys holding me down and something was in my mouth.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, he was fucking some fingers going down his
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: throat or something.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like, I don't know if that was
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: a finger, bud. I think that was the... You know?
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Oh no dude good news bad news i have a
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: live news update on what is it from the fucking
• 9:39

• 9:45
  Speaker 2: sad bars brie i didn't know you fucking could spit

  Speaker 2: like that dog.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Dude okay good thing we got our own homes.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: And not in fucking decatur getting rained on talking about.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Oblivious yeah that's true so for 14 year old bob
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: he escapes from this sex dungeon and this kid, this kid,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: random strange kid that's also tied up there. He helps
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: him escape, but then he's like, the kid that helps
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: him escape is too beat up to go on. So
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: he's just like, you know, go on without me, Bobby.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Save yourself. I think you're walking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Through where you're at. You're fucking woods out here.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. That's the trail they were looking for. Yeah,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: we'll get into it soon enough, but this is Bobby.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Flash forward 27 years later, Bobby does walking tours in Portland,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Oregon to show where he got kidnapped from or whatever.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: And this is it.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I got it live. This is Bob.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Suicide Woods. No, no.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Definitely not.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: This is PNW.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: This is Bobby's, like, POV cam. He's got, like, a
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: GoPro on his head. God, it sucked.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: For real.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: That's the thing. It was the worst. He's just the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: shittiest dude. And they, like, spend so much time with him.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: I know. And have you ever seen the show, like,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: What We Do in the Shadows? About, like, vampires? Yeah.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Like one or two episodes. I haven't watched the whole thing.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: There's a dude on there that plays an energy vampire.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: He doesn't suck blood, but he takes your energy by
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: telling boring stories and shit like that. The dude that
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: plays that character is who I thought of every time
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Bobby started talking. He's in the later seasons of The Office.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: He works in the warehouse.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Okay. Is he like the dark-haired guy? Like kind of tall, skinny,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: dark-haired guy?
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I'm just guessing.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: He wears t-shirts sometimes.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You'll have to send me a pic.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure this guy is. Yeah, no, that does
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: pretty much sum up Bobby's entire personality. It sounds like
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: a drag to be around him at all times. I
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: know this is fake now, but I still just couldn't
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: imagine having to hang around this guy and film a
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: documentary around him. They, they do a good job of
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: selling it. Like even knowing that it's fake, I feel
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: like it was moments where you can tell like the
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: showrunner sound exhausted being around. Yeah.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: They did very well with the characters. That's what I
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: was going to say. Like later on in the, what
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: was it when they, they went and met with somebody
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: and they like, they told Bobby off and he's like,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: you see what I got to deal with every day.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: And they like just fucking completely ignore him. He goes,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I said, you see what I fucking got to deal
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: with all the time. Yeah. We heard you, Bobby. Yeah.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: It's like, that felt so real and so believable. Like,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I wonder if this dude genuinely fucking sucked to be around.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: That sold me. That all felt very, very real.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: That sold me so much, because the part right before
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: that is the part that almost tipped me off, because
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: it was a little too perfect. It's like they go
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: and they meet up with that reporter, and she is...
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: she's like plays that Halloween tape for them. Cause she
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: was like a reporter in the eighties. So yeah, they go.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Meet at the Tempest tournament is what she told me.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: That was what she was covering at the beginning. So that's,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: I guess that's episode two. We can slide into that part,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we might as well go into episode two.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: I think that was episode two.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get into two because I think that's pretty
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: much it. The only other thing from one is that
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: they tell Bobby the owner of Coin Kingdom killed himself
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: because Bobby spread rumors about him being a child molester.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Are you asking me if.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: I think this blood is on my hands? That was
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: another one that felt very real. What's your guys' angle here?
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I thought you guys were helping me try to get
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: the truth out there, but it feels like you're fucking...
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: He cussed with conviction? I don't know if I'm reaching
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: with that, but it was like, what's your guys' fucking
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: angle here? What are you guys doing? Quality voice actors,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: I will say that. Absolutely.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: 100%.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: I hope those dudes got more work after that. Yeah.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: No, it was so convincing because that was one thing
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: where it's like, dude, this sounds like a real shitty
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: guy that would act like this. Even though these like
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: filmmakers are coming or, you know, whatever production crew is
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: coming to him and they're like, we want to tell
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: your story. He's still like, if you don't fucking tell
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: it my way, I'm going to be fucking pissed and
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to cooperate. And they're just like, okay,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: God damn it. We're just like, you know, saying what's
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: where I get the whole story. Like, yeah, we're just
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: calling it like we see it.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like you accidentally fucking basically made this
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: guy kill himself by spreading rumors about him, and we're
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: just calling it out.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: And then he turned into a fucking drunk and wrapped
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: his car around a tree, and yeah, that's exactly what
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: we're asking, Bobby. Do you think your blood is on
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: your hands a little bit? because you said that this
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: shit popped off at his fucking arcade and people came
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: in and found out some shit was going down with
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: the kids. That was part of that too, is they
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: found out shit was going on with kids there. And then,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: but then the window was very small when they, they
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: went from, from that to him, him getting in a
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: wreck and dying.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah. It was like, Yeah, because I feel
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: like it's way jumping ahead, but there's something to do with, like,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: child prostitution later on. Or, like, the cops are investigating
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: this place for that. But I think that's, like, that's
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: far on. So episode two, yeah, I think is when
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: we get introduced to Ruben and Mark, the gay couple.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: The gay guys.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Couple of them.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: There's a couple of them in this story, that's for sure.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Ruben and.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I couldn't be able to talk about these guys.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Okay. Sorry. I was going to try to just blast.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Right through that. Yeah, you know.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: So, okay, yeah. I was trying to remember how these
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: guys even made their way into the story.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Just like you and I. Nothing. Nothing.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Nothing to see here.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Move along. No defining characteristics that I would point out whatsoever. No.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Just a couple of guys that got mixed up with Bobby.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Just a couple of normal guys. Just a couple of
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: dudes hanging out.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: A couple of guys being dudes. Joshing around.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: You know, staying the night at each other's house every
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: once in a while.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Who knows?
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing. Maybe. Maybe.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Maybe they are.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Maybe making love.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Maybe they are. Maybe they are.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, shit. Hey, wait.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I got a.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: You know what? Hold on one second. I got the
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: perfect sound for this moment. Did you catch that? Here, wait.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I got another one.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I am gay. Oh, fuck.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there we go.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Shit. Oh, it's getting steamy out in the fucking Pacific
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Northwest when this shit came on. You see me have
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: to wipe the camera down? Oh, yeah, dude. Going into
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Bobby's close-up.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: That's right. There he is. He's going to pop out
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: behind that tree here in a second.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Bro, you see I brought out Stone Cold and Kane? Yeah,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: he had some light.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Fucking fine-ass figures. Those are fucking... Oh, whoops.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, wait.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: There we go.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, fuck! Yeah!
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Trying to find it. I knew I had it on
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: there somewhere. So Ruben gets introduced to the story because
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: he's looking for his gay lover, Mark. And he goes
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: to Oregon. Because Mark ran away. And he's like, damn,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I think Mark went to Portland, Oregon. Because where else
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: would he go as a gay man? And so he
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: finds his way to Bobby's walking tour because... I honestly
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: kind of forget why this makes sense, but it's something
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: about Mark grew up there. Oh, he had a newspaper.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: He had that picture. Oh, yeah, that was right. The
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: newspaper from the Tempest tournament. Yes.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, it all comes back to Tempest. If it
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: wasn't for that Tempest tournament, then none of this would
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: have happened. So Ruben goes and finds him, and he's like,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: do you know this motherfucker? And he shows him the
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: picture on the newspaper, and he said that Bobby's just
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: went completely white. And he just instantly recognized him as
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the boy that helped him escape from the government torture
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: sex dungeon.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Facility, yeah.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The clinic.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: The government doctor's office facility.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: The three-finger bang train.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: The dog.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Big fucking three fingers. Yeah, I guess we talked about it,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: but I think it was off air. There's a three-finger
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: guy that's been kidnapping and, I guess, molesting these kids,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: and his three fingers are like this. I kept thinking
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: they were like this.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: I thought it was going to be these.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: These? See, that makes the most sense to me. It's
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: like the Ninja Turtle hand.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: What would be the least convenient?
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Probably like this. If you're doing one of these. I
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: would just play fucking power chords. You're trying to choke
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: a kid out like that?
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: How would Dave Draymond put his piercings in?
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Even if it's like this.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Like, how's fucking... Fuck, maybe even this. This would probably
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: be worse. Because, like, I can't... Oh, dude, that would...
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: When I'm doing this, I can't move my ring finger
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: up any more than that.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if you're not focused on using your
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: muscles to hold those down, then you'd probably get nice
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: with these two. Yeah. Yeah. Dude.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Do you imagine?
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: You end up with fucking paintball fingers with your pinky. Dude.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. No wonder that's this guy's job for
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: the government. They're like, well, you blew off your fingers
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: or whatever. We're going to need you to be in
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the child kidnap zone.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: You're reassigned to fucking kids, bucko.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: You're going to Portland, Oregon to kidnap. Son of a bitch.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: we're gonna need you to send out some some spooky
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: cassette tapes to some radio stations or whatever yeah because
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: in the the second episode so they they meet up
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: with this reporter who who's just like oh yeah i
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: got i i took i took a coverage of the
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: tempest tournament i i And the way they, like, frame
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: this lady is hilarious, because she's like, I was the
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: only woman on the staff, so everybody fucking hated me.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: So I wanted to do this arcade story real bad,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: and they were just like, no, you can't. But I
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: went and did it anyway.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Well, she wanted to do it about what was going
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: on with the kids. And I'm like, no, don't cover
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: the fucking tournament down there.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Tempest.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That whole, the whole interaction.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: She's like, I want to get into the scoop.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah she so she's like telling her story from that
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: perspective that day and then like as soon as bobby
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: like chimes in it immediately feels like like at the
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: end of joe dirt when he meets his parents and
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: he's like how long did you look like how was
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: you know what i mean because he's like he's bob
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: bobby's like he's fucking pissed off he was so mad
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: dude he's like bobby's like i looked up a picture
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: of you when you were younger and i don't fucking
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: recognize you I didn't see you there. You weren't there
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: that day. Oh yeah. Yeah.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: He's so mad instantly.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Just what are you talking about? All day thing. You know,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: they had a lot of people working for the, for
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: the newspaper. Like maybe they just sent me later in
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: the day. He's like, I was there on fucking day.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: I didn't see you once. I don't recognize you. You're
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: fucking lying. And she's like, you guys invited me here. Like,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: what are we doing? Yeah.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Are you here to grill me about what I remember
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: from fucking 1981? This is 2017, and they're just like,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: he's so mad about it.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: And why does he think he would.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Why would he recognize this random lady in this arcade
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: tournament who's just there to take pictures? Yeah.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he doesn't have any memories that he needed
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: to block out.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Exactly. And not to mention Tempest, or not Tempest, but Polybius,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: apparently brainwashed his ass, too. It gave him all this, like,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: he's having all these crazy visions. Why would he even
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: trust him?
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah. If you were ass on Tempest that day,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: maybe you were just having an off day, dog. Yeah.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Don't blame her. But after, when she comes back, here's
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: where hindsight came into play. Yeah. It's like, this was
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: kind of a weird little jump. She calls the next day, like,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: I meant to tell you guys, there's a whole fucking
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: tape that somebody sent me that has everything to do
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: with what you're talking about. Yeah. And I didn't think
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: to bring it up until after you left.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. See, that's what got me, like, thinking, like,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: is this real? Yeah.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: But maybe he just gave bad vibes and... She just
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: wanted him out of the fucking house. She did say that.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: We got that out of the way.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she did say that. And I was kind of
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: convinced because I was like, dude, if these assholes came
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: over to my house and this guy who probably looks
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: like a total dickweed just starts going off on me
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: about this, I'd probably be like, you know what? I
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: think I got some other shit to do, actually. You
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: guys need to get the fuck out of here.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: The producers, very kind. Lovely. Yeah. Thanks for coming.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Very nice people.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I'd have you guys back. the fucking weirdo in the
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: trench coat that was fucking given the walking tours earlier.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: I don't want him in here.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: But dude, but I love that she does call him
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: out though. Cause he starts grilling her about that. But
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: then she goes, well, if you want to know the truth,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: when I talked to your parents, they told me you were,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: you were a compulsive liar. And he's just like, fuck
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: my parents.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: They don't know.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: He's like, he's like, that's all it takes one person
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: to discredit your whole story. And it's like, yeah, but
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: it's your mom and dad, dude. It's not just some
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: random person.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Like, they grew up with you. You see the shit
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: I deal with every single day. Yeah.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: And it's just crickets. You can tell it was just
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: one of those moments where they're just looking at their
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: fucking feet like, God damn it.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I know we keep going back to that, like, scene,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: but that was, like, the way it sounds is like
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: the camera, like, someone's holding a camera and it's, like,
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: down at their side when all that. You know what
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: I mean? Yeah. Like, the mic is set off from
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: where they're speaking. And it just, little shit like that
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: did a lot for me in this. Yeah, yeah.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: No, that's what kept me going, where I was like, no,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I think this might be legit.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: The tape they listened to, though, was a little funky.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I can't remember if that's episode two or episode three.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that is three when she comes. There was
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: something there that I had written down, yeah, actually.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Okay. There was something else in episode two before we
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: get to number three. So Bobby's like going on about
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: these underground tunnels in Portland, which I guess is like
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: a real, like kind of like conspiracy theory thing. But
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: they talked to this other walking tour guy.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: The Shanghai tunnels. Yeah.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: With Jackie Chan's fucking Owen Wilson. Yeah, dude.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Shout out to the doctor.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Big Doc up there.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Do you like the Jerry Garcia merch?
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Whichever one he's missing. Oh, yeah. But it's the fucking doctor.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: It's Doc Ock. Hell, yeah, dude.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Might need to make some merch with that.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Just... Fuck, yeah, dude.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Just says Polybius over it and just fucking... Dude, it
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: sounds like a metal band name anyway.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: But they talk to this guy, Doug, who does a
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: different walking tour, and he completely debunks the fuck out
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: of Bobby's underground tunnel theory, like, instantly. Yeah. He's just like, oh, yeah, yeah,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: people think that there's, like, these underground tunnels that they were, like,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: trafficking stuff in, but it's not true. And they're just like, oh.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: They were made, like, after the time that they said
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: that they were being used or something like that.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he's, like, got all the records about it
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: and shit, like, the construction records, and he's just like,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: this is what's actually going on here. And they're just
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: kind of like, oh, so Bobby's lying more. You know,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: it's just like.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Dude, imagine if Bobby was there for that one. Yeah,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: he'd be like, fuck this guy. You cannot talk to
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: this guy.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: He's who I fucking deal with every fucking day.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: He's part of the government cover-up for the oblivious child
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: trafficking ring that they got going on. Dude, it's a wild, wild,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: wild story. We also find out in 2 that the
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: reason why Mark left is because Ruben... was banging some
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: other dudes. And so when he finds that out, he
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: takes off. Yeah. I didn't like that. I was like, Ruben, you're,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: you know, you're a piece of shit in my book, Ruben.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't be banging. No, he kind of sucked. He
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: wasn't as bad as Bobby, but he did like kind of,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: he did like team up with them.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: And then they were even worse. Yeah.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: I hated that.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: He really showed his colors at the end as well.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: That's true. Yeah, he kind of flipped out. But yeah,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: then in episode three, we meet this guy, Stephen Roach,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: or at least we learn about this guy, Stephen Roach,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: who wrote this whole long thing on some Reddit thread
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: or something about Polybius, about how he was involved with
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: working on the cabinets and working on the program and stuff.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: But the only problem is that this Mr. Roach guy
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: can't spell to save his fucking life. Like he was like,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: they said.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: He spelled his name wrong twice and the name of
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: the company wrong twice, but he spelled the university. Right.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I was just like, okay, so this guy's like
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: practically tarted and he's just like, no, I'm in on it.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: And they're just.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Like, nah, don't worry guys. I know what's going on.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: It's like, yeah. And Bobby even thinks that this guy's
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: full of shit. He's like, no, I don't think Roach
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: was a, was a fucking scientist that worked on the
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: plebe cabinet.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Couldn't have been him.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: But we also find out that Steven Roach and his
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: wife were running like troubled teen centers at that time
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: out of Portland, Oregon or somewhere in Oregon. And they
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: end up going to jail for trafficking. So it does
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: kind of add to the story where it's like, oh shit,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: are these guys involved in all this?
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. They said that they were doing like the, they,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: they were hiring them to go pick up runaways and shit.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: And like, they were like restricting the times they could
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: go to the bathroom and stuff and playing loud music. Yeah.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Have you heard about any of those things? Those are like,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: those are real though. Those did happen like in the
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: eighties and nineties.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: So I, I think like, so Paris Hilton went to
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: one when she was like a teenage, her parents sent
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: her to one when she was a teenager. And I've,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: I've heard some other people talk about it. Basically, it
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: was like these people would take in a ton of money,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: like $ 1, 000 a month per kid or something like that,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: maybe more. And they would get these troubled teens that
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: were doing bad in school and running away from home
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: and getting in fights, just basically committing crimes left and right.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: And they would send them off to these reform schools.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: And these reform schools would be, like, out in the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: middle of nowhere, and you would have, like, no contact
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: with your parents other than, like, I think you could
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: write letters, but they would usually read the letters before
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: they sent them out. And they would have, like, the
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: older kids basically just watching the younger kids, and they
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: would just beat the shit out of them constantly. Like, basically,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: they would.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: And they would basically just take turns beating the fuck
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: out of you until you, like, learned your lesson. No,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: and it sounded kind of similar to, like, Scientology, where, like,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: they would make you admit to things that you were
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: doing wrong, even if you weren't really, like, doing anything wrong.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: They would just kind of, like, break you down mentally
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: and stuff. So I believe this part, too, because I
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: was like, dude, I've watched some documentaries about these troubled
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: teen centers. You know, it just kind of added to
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: the story for me. I was like, damn, this might
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: be legit. Yeah.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: And then that's yeah, I was going to say. And
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: that's when she she's like, oh, yeah, by the way,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: not probably not relevant to you guys. But I did
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: happen to remember this kind of weird, weird tape. I
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: like what the fuck?
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, looking back on that now, that is really hard
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: to let that one slide.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: It's like, I do.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Have a cassette tape where this guy that does a
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: fake Russian accent explains everything that's going on in the
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: story you're talking about. That's just kind of a weird coincidence,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: I guess.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Probably not worth anything to you guys.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Not a big deal. And also not to mention around
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: that time when I got the cassette, people were like
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: breaking into my house and doing weird shit to my house. Yeah.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Doing her dishes and shit. Yeah. She like wrote it
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: off as she was working too much.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. She's like, damn, I must just be too.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: She came home and accidentally did my dishes. Right. Fucking
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: for real.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: I must just be working so hard that I don't
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: even remember all the good shit that I've been up to.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: I'm working so hard that I don't want to tell
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: my boss how hard I'm working because then he'll think
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: I'm fucking crazy. What do we got?
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Fucking Joker Cola, dude.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Period. You already know what I got.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: I got big deck coats.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Pounder, baby.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: DCL, yeah.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: The drink.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: A drink of.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: I fucking love having a beverage on deck, dude. I know, man.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: It's the best.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Really? You gotta have it. You have to hydrate.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Gotta get the sodium in one hand. I was gonna say,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: you got water in the... You need to get a refill.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: The remix to intermission soon.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Dude, do what you gotta do. So I can brew
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: it at the kitchen. If you gotta hydrate it, you
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: gotta get the H2O going. H2O flow.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Period. So.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, so she has this story about, well, they
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: listen to the tape, and you get to listen to it, too.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: And the thing that got me about the tape was,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: this is supposedly a cassette tape that she got from
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: the 80s, and it sounds, like, pristine. Like, the audio
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: quality on it is perfect. And I was kind of like, dude,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: I don't think so.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: I made a copy of it, and I was kind
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: of like, still. That thing would sound, like, warped, at least.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's... There was, like, static on it, but
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: I didn't, yeah, I guess I didn't really consider it being, like,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: that old and still being able to just pop in
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: and play it. Yeah.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: To me, it just sounded a little too, like, digital.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: But I was thinking, like, well, these guys, you know,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: they're professionals. Maybe they went in and touched up the audio, like, afterwards.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: But still, I was kind of like, you know, if
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: you listen to stuff from the 80s that was recorded
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: in the 80s, like, just on cassette, it just has, like,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: a roughness to it, almost like a blurriness to the voice,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like a distortion to it.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: But.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: But, you know, I was able to get past that
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: easily because the rest of the story was kicking so
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: much ass. And then basically she talks about how after
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: all this strange stuff started happening one night at work,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: she's working real late and an unmarked van chases her
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: down the road while she's on her bike. And this
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: is getting into episode four, but I think that's... Well, yeah.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: I have one more thing from episode three. Okay, yeah.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: After the tape, they said something about... The voice continued
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: getting calls, and then, like, windows were getting left open
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: and shit, and then they went over to the window
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: one night and looked out, and there was somebody standing
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: down on the street, and it was a three-fingered man. Yes!
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: My brain immediately painted a picture of the three-fingered man
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: just down very dramatically under a street lamp, like, sitting
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: in hand. And... That was when I started wondering which fingers.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Was he doing one of these?
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: That was when I wondered if it was these two.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: But the thing said, awoken by a breeze. If you
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: start a story with I was awoken by a breeze,
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: I immediately think you're fucking lying to me.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: That's true. That's a fake story.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: You weren't fucking awoken, but you didn't. I have never
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: been awoken. No. You know what I'm saying? No. It
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: immediately feels like you're getting too wordy and you're lying. Yeah.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: You're getting a little too.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Awoken by a breeze.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: A little too poetic with this story. Yeah. It's like,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: were you awoken by it or did you just fucking
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: wake up like a normal person? Yeah, this lady's full
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: of shit. The other thing that I thought with this lady, though,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: when I was like, man, she sounds kind of like
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: maybe a little bit full of shit or this is
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: all too a little convenient, I was starting to wonder, like,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: maybe she's using this as an angle to get in
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: on this story and make some damn money because she's
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: kind of like a failed reporter. They didn't go that...
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: I didn't even think of that. They didn't go in
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: that direction, but I was starting to think, like, maybe
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: she's kind of like seized this as her opportunity to
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: be like, I've got some... Hey! Yeah, I've got a
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: tape from a Russian guy that.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I never even considered that.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: I never even thought about showing this to the police.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Especially after I got stalked and my bike got stolen.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: By an un.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: You know, never even thought about that shit.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Convenient.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Now that you mention it, maybe all those things were
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: connected that happened at the exact same time. Maybe the
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: guy driving the van did have three fingers now that
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I think about it.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Maybe he was Sig smoking three-fing style.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: I wonder, too, did he have three fingers on both hands?
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Because they never really specify that. Or maybe they did,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: I know they did. Well, the picture on the album
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: art of this episode was him holding the tape recorder
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: with the fucking hand, yeah.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: He's hitting record and play.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: His middle fingers look like a couple fucking crunched off
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Doritos with crumbs hanging off. I appreciate the detail in
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: the drawing. You know what I'm saying?
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: I did like the... Yeah, the artwork was pretty cool
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: for these episodes. I liked it. So, she shows him
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: that tape.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Whoa, whoa.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: You got it? Dude, hold on a sec. It's all.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: All blurred. Dang.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Never mind.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'll... Maybe when editing... Sneak it.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just like.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe I'll edit it, and I'll throw a little
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: picture up in the video.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Put a picture in it.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll save it. Save the pic. I'll get a
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: pic of Bobby, too, while we're at it.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: God.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Throw him in the background.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Just the fucking worst. That dude sucked so bad. I just...
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: And then the audacity to act like he wasn't the
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: problem at the end.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Dude, I know. When we get to the end, it's like,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: there's so many shits. Like, this sums up to just.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, even, like, yeah... Every bit, like, from now
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: until the end, he's pretty much awful.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: He's just, like, a shitty trash guy.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: A shitty walking tour guy. They should have thrown his
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: ass out of the moving van when they had the chance.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: You knew straight out of the gate when they mentioned
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: that he had to give the people coins and say
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: they were paying customers at the laundromat, that the people
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: were fucking sick of seeing him there. Yeah.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: He's like, now you have to take these.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Now you're technically a paying customer. Yeah.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you could tell just by the tone in his
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: voice that the people were probably trying not to make
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: eye contact with him anymore. They're just like, shut the
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: fuck up. Why did I pay to go on this
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: fucking dumb guy's tour? Fuck me. Can I get my
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: 20 bucks back? Is there any fucking refunds on this
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: lame-ass tour that we're going on?
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: God, this town sucks.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: God, is there anything better to do in Portland than
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: to listen to this asshole make up a story about
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: how he got molested by a three-fingered man? What a
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: story to make up.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: People are booing him in his walking tour. Like, oh,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: my God. Too bad this isn't real, because I feel
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: like we would be compelled to, like, go out and
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: hit the door and, like, fucking heckle the Hulk. Boo!
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Fuck you! Hey, not the victim shaming. You fucking suck!
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: I just show up wearing a shirt that says, Bobby's gay.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: And he's just like, what's that all about? Oh, it's
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: a different Bobby.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: You don't know him.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a band, actually, from Oregon.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Portland.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: You should look them up sometime. Don't worry. Don't worry
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: about it. Can I get a picture with you? It
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: just has an arrow pointing.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Can you point at my shirt? Can you point at
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: my shirt? It's not you, but can you do this
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: for me, please?
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: It's just a coincidence.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Can I put this in your mouth? Just start doing it.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: He's just like, ah, that's it.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: I'm fucking done.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: He has, like, mace in his trench coat. I don't
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: know why I keep going back to him in a
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: trench coat. Like, I feel like he's in, like, a tan, like, belted, like,
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Carmen Sandiego-ass, like, hat on the inside. Yes. God. Just
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Dick Tracy as hell. Yeah, I bet the jacket was
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: fucking nice, though.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, dude, definitely had one of those little detective hats
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: for some reason.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: I bet he's fucking stumped, too. Yeah.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: See, that's why there's like one point where they're constantly
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: like bugging about trying to go to his house. And
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: he's like, no, you can't go to my house. I
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: was kind of like, well, no shit. He doesn't want
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: you to go to his house. Cause it probably stinks
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: like fuck. Like, yeah.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: You're going to his ass in here.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: You guys are already like disbelieving everything he says. Do
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: you think he wants to go to your, his house?
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: And then you guys act nice to him. And then
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: as soon as you get in the van, start recording yourself,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: like talk shit about how shitty his house is. And
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: he knows that's what's going to happen. They're just like, dude,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: that motherfucker, he smelled like cat piss and he didn't
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: even have any cats, dude. It's like, what the fuck's
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: going on?
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: On he was around one cat and it just rained
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: and then like fucking this poor trench coat was.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Stinky dude i yeah just raw just raw meat on
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: the living room floor god just pile piles of dog
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: shit I.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: Don't think he, like, looked stinky, but I think he's probably.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Like, had a aroma. Yeah. Well, his house is probably
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: also a meth lab, I guess.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: So that probably doesn't smell very good either.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true, because no one, not enough people knew
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: him for him to be, like, buying it from multiple people.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: So he was definitely.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, cooking.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Just when.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: When did... Is Mark back yet?
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: No, no. Mark's not back until like later on. So
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: in episode four, I think, no, you're fine. I'm just
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: trying to, I'm looking over. I took like just some
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: really brief notes. So actually the next episode, we'll get
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: back to Mark. I think this is where all we
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: find out is the cassette tape. And then the Bobby
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: is starting to kind of like maybe take advantage of Ruben.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: because he believes in his story and he wants to
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: find Mark so bad. There is also one other thing
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: that just is another like layer of Bobby shittiness. He
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: gets mad at the show runners because they recommend like
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: some other people to a different Polybius documentary. And he's like,
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: why didn't you fucking recommend me? And they're just like,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know, because they're doing like a different story
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: about Polybius, more like the history, not your story. And
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: he's just like, well, this seems like you guys are
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: trying to fuck me over. He's just so mad about it.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: God, yeah, that was.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: It was tough.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: It was tough. Dude was a great, played an awful
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: person really well.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man. But then episode five, they find Mark's car
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: at like an abandoned house.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: And his car is like.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: He had the parking ticket mailed to him. Yeah, that's
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: what it was. His sister called or something. Yeah, his
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: sister called and had the parking ticket mailed to her house.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: But later on, I didn't probably write this down. You
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: just reminded me. Later on, I think they realized that,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know if this is giving too much away.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know how chronological we should be with this
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: or it doesn't matter. It probably doesn't matter. I don't
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: think so.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: He'll be all right. Okay.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: So it was actually Bobby pretending to be Mark's sister
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: that mailed the ticket because he wanted them to find
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Mark's car. Did you catch that part later on? It's
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: like really brief towards the end.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: I guess not.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: I think I noticed it on the second listen through maybe,
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: but it's like, so at some point, I can't remember.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: It's when they're talking to Ruben, like towards the end,
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: I think they realize, or maybe it's when they're talking
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: to Mark at the end. I can't remember, but it's
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: something about like, Bobby had this whole thing set up
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: to where he wanted them to go there, find the car,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: find the house, find the, the sobriety journal.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. He like had it all set up. Cause he's
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: acting weird when they go there. They're like, he won't
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: talk to them and shit. They like pick Bobby up
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: in the van and they're just like, yeah, he was
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: kind of being shitty. He wouldn't like talk to us
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: and he's barely been answering our calls and all this stuff.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: That was because he was mad at them over this
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: stuff with that other documentary.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. So he's acting like shitty towards them, and
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: then they find Mark's dusty-ass car, and they're just like,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: it looks like no one's been here for a while. Yeah,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: why wouldn't it be? Right. Continuity.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Continuity.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, the believability in this show is off the charts.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: It's off the charts. They're fucking nailing it.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: And then as soon as they find this house that
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: they think Mark might be staying in, Bobby goes to
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: the backyard and does a B & E on the house.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: He's just like, guys, there's a door open back here.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: And they come and the window's busted out.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dude. That was when I started thinking that Bobby
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: had something to do with Mark. Or I thought maybe
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Bobby was Mark or something. Or not Bobby was Mark,
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: but Bobby had something to do. Because it started getting
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: really weird right there. And then he disappeared in the house.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: Once they got in, he disappeared. Oh, my God. This
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: person we can't find. I found his fucking journal.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, that's weird. Anyway, you guys can just have it.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: I don't need it. And they're like, maybe we should
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: call the cops. This looks a little like scary. And
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: he's like the cops, I'm going to get into the fucking.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get an Uber. Yeah. I don't talk
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: to the cops. Right. That was when it all started
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: feeling super, super weird. Yeah. Like, like just the, like, again,
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: great storytelling. yeah just an uneasy feeling of like the
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: the did you ever see the catfish movie like before yeah.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Like well i saw it after well and.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: I just mean like the they like they made the
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: movie before they did the show yeah i didn't like
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: it it just there was like a weird feeling through
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: that whole movie that like something in this captured like
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: the the yeah And an overtone of like them just
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: being dishonest. And you can feel that I think maybe
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: just subconsciously, I thought that he had something to do
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: with Mark. And that was making me feel like the,
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: the thing from catfish where it was, she was everybody.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: I thought it was going to dwindle down to something
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: like that, to where, to where Bobby was, was playing
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: all of these people that had something to do with
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: this story. I thought it was going to end up
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: coming out that it was Bobby on that recording doing
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: that whack fucking Russian voice. Yeah, that's a good point.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: I thought that was going to be a.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: Thing, but as it unraveled, that wasn't how it happened.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's a good point. That would have been
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: a really cool way for it to go as well, honestly.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: And I kind of got that feeling, too. There was
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: a part of it where I was like, this reminds
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: me of he's playing them from all angles.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't want the cops to come there and
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: recognize him and be like, what I had thought was
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: they were going to, like, rattle off another name. Like,
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: the cops would recognize him as somebody else.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh shit, I didn't think of that. Yeah, that's
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: a good point. Yeah, yeah, no, that would have been
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: another fucking, yeah, really interesting way to tell this story, honestly.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: We need to make our own version of Polybius.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, we need to make the
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: soundtrack for this.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: Polybius Part 2, yeah. Dude, yeah. There might be some
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: Static X on this soundtrack as well.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: Dude, no doubt. No doubt. Definitely some Nirvana.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, whenever.
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: Some dark shit, bro.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Some dark shit when he's doing meth, yeah.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: Fuck yeah.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: No, whenever he's getting all the high scores on Tempest,
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: just have some Static X blast him. That fucking push it. Yeah,
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: and he's just fucking hammering away on the buttons, just.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: He's pushing it.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: He keeps having like, he starts sweating and flashing back
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: to the fucking doctor, like putting his fucking fingers in
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: his mouth.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, just get.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: Bitch. Put your hand in my face.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: Down with the sickness kicks in, dude.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: You have that fired up over there? Yeah.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: Fucking handsome with that.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: God, that's so awesome.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: Right, whenever he's fucking getting ready to bust out of
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: the secret tunnel and just fucking.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: Bust out of the doctor's secret tunnel.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. And the doctor with his
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: three fingers is chasing after little Mark.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: Get back here!
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: Get back here, little Mark! Fucking grabs his ass like this.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: He picks them both up. Oh wait, I guess it
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: was only one hand. Maybe it was both.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: It might be both.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: Do you think they'd call him the six-finger man or
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: the double three-finger hand man?
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Dude, the six-shooter? Yeah, man. Six-double hand man. Dude, that
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: comes into the arcade. Which one of you little boys
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: was coming home with me?
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: Put him up, you little bastards.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: Who's got the high score on Tempest tonight? It's like Bobby.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: No, Big B, baby.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: B to the double B over there.
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: Bobby's like me.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Dude, yeah, because there's one part.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, Bobby's got to play Tempest. Oh, no.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: He's got to go to the dog's secret room. Get
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: his ass back there. Ruined his whole life because he's
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: too good at video games.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: Should have stayed out of the black box, young man.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: Should have stuck to Tempest. You had to go wandering
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: down to the mystery machine.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: Fucked up, dog. So it's a blessing and a curse
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: to be that good at video games.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: Dude, I swear. Damn.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I didn't think of this earlier.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get Tempest playing. I got a long
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: play pulled up of the game Tempest.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: Fuck. Now I have to rehab a quick little 12-piece.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Damn, son.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: Holy shit. Where'd you find this?
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: I have not. This is like, I love retro games
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: and shit like that, but I haven't played a lot
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: of the really old arcade games. Like sometimes I see
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: them and I'm just like, what the fuck do you
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: even do there?
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm watching it back here and I'm like, fuck
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: are they doing?
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like, yeah, you set your difficulty and
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: I guess you just like fly around and shoot.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: I see what you're doing now. Okay. That's kind of cool.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: That's actually me playing that.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Oh damn.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: You're the angry video game. You're Bobby?
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: I'm Bobby. It's me.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you can see my title on here.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: But it's 3FingDaddy at Tempest.com. He is the doctor. He's Dr.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: Tempest.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: Dr. Tempy.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: Dr. Threebanger. Where were we at? I'm lost.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: Great question. I think we just finished episode five. Yeah,
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: because they were calling the cops.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, and Bobby diffs out.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Bobby left.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, so they do find, in episode five, they find
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: in the sobriety notebook a guy's name and number written
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: down that just says Frank Seller, and that's the guy
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: they call, and they think it's about drugs. They think
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: this guy's a drug dealer, and they find out it's
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: actually a guy selling arcade cabinets, and he's kind of, like,
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: weird about it for some reason.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, and then, like, at the same time, though, like,
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: If somebody called you and gave you that whole spiel
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: about like documentary and you're still like, I don't know
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: how much I want to tell you.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Cause he is, I guess, kind of
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: like back market arcade seller. I don't know if.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: That's clearly connected to a method that you're trying to
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: get in touch with. So no, I won't give you
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: my personal information. No, thank you. You found my number
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: in someone's sobriety journal that they left behind. What, are
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: you trying to say they called me and didn't need
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: it anymore? Fuck you.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: That's a good point, yeah.
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: Thought I was a drug dealer? Fuck off. Do you
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: need some drugs?
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: You need drugs or you need some... If you do,
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: you know, I might know a guy.
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: I got a little bit of that Ms. Pac-Man and
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: a little bit of that Bobby Brown. You feel me?
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I might know a three-fingered man that could hook
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: you up with a thing or two.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: A finger, dude.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: He needs something. So they talk to that guy. Ruben
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: gets confirmation that Mark's back on meth, doing meth again.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: And from this point on, Bobby disappears. He won't answer
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: his phone anymore. And they're just like, fuck, I guess
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: we're not going to talk to his ass again.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess that's it.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: That's a wrap.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: That's a wrap on Bobby. That was when Ruben went
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: back to Georgia, correct?
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: What's that? Sorry, it was cutting out.
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: Sorry. At that point, Ruben left, didn't he?
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Ruben dips out too because he's like, well,
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: Mark's on meth. Bobby's not here anymore.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: And Bobby and Ruben were kind of tight at that point, too.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: So I think he was bummed out that he wasn't
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: a part of the story. He's like, damn, my best bud, Bobby,
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: who's my only connection to Mark, who's a meth head,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: dipped out of the whole situation. And that pretty much
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: brings us to episode six. In six, basically, we get
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: the confirmation that Bobby is dealing meth to Mark. And
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: then on top of that.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like, oh, that makes sense. Actually, you know,
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: that makes a lot more sense than him trying to
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: find him to play video games or whatever.
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: It was never about the games. It was never about
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: the games. It was always about the math.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like, wait a minute, I think I know
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: a guy in Portland, Oregon who's full of shit that
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: will sell me math.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: I think I know a guy that'll let me park
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: a fucking Prius at his house and fucking let me
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: get strung out and leave my sobriety journal behind at Airbnb. Yeah.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he told me that if I do his walking
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: tours for him, he'll hook me up with a free
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: baggie every month. Not a bad deal. He told me
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: if I keep the tour away from the laundromat that
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: the Coinstar used to be in, that I could do
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: free laundry every week. Mark's leading the tour, strung out
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: on meth, pretending to be Bobby.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: I'm Bobby! I love that, yeah, because you know straight
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: out of the gate there's some sort of income gap.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: somewhere else. Yeah. Cause he said like, I, it was
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: like the first episode. He's like, I'm not doing it
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: for the money. Like he said, no, he said I'd
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: make more money working it. I think he said McDonald's,
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: I think McDonald's or Walmart. And it's like, well, the
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: love of the game.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: Just loves giving these.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: I just want to fucking, I'm going to dedicate my
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: life to hoping I can convince somebody that this video
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: game made me suck a three fingered man.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: Somebody's got to believe you. This thing's ruining my fucking life.
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: I cannot rest until someone believes that this video game
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: is the reason why I sucked off an old man
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: when I was a little kid. This is not gonna happen, guys.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: My parents don't believe me. The fucking bitch reporter doesn't
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: believe me.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: She wasn't even fucking there, but she doesn't believe me.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: And she saw the three-fingered man, and she still doesn't
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: believe me. He went to her house and harassed her
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: and almost ran her over with a van.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: But she didn't believe it because my fucking... Bitch mom
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: said I'm a liar? Fuck her. You gotta believe she's dead.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: You gotta believe me or her. Yeah, who? I made
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: it out of the forest. Where the fuck's my mom at? Dead.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: Send her ass to the woods and see if she
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: can make it. No shit.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: Mom, she would never make it out of the fucking woods.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: No shot. My God.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: His story is also that he ran to a gas
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: station and called his parents from a payphone. The thing is, like,
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: Maybe he didn't. Didn't hadn't he ran away like, yeah,
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: like the week before that.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: Or something, something like that. Yeah. Or something. I don't know.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: He was fishy to me. Yeah.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: I think he probably, he probably rolled his ass down
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: a hill and got all dusty and was like, you
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: think I would do this to myself? Yeah, he probably
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: would to make up a backstory of why he'd been
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: sucking off old Doc at the arcade factory.
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no shit. Just say you went home with the
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: doctor because he gave you top ten high scores on Tempest, bro. Yeah,
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: admit it. Just be up front with us and we
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: can fucking move on from this.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: We know you're not that good at Tempest. We saw
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: your ass get wrecked in the tournament.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: No, we had... We were at the fucking tournament, bro.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: We know. We know your secret, Bobby. You've been sucking
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: up the dogs to high school.
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: They weren't.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: Nobody fucking kidnapped you.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Dumbass.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, his parents have to be pissed as hell
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: at him. They're just like, you get all this media
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: at our house, this journalist keeps fucking trying to interview us.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: He was like, the cops questioned my parents seven times.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, of course they're pissed at you. You're like,
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: we don't want to talk to the fucking cops anymore.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: They're sitting and talking about the fucking cops. Yeah.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: Damn, dude. There's some other part earlier on, too, when
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: they're talking to one of the video game tournament hosts.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: And he talks about how, like, when Bobby lost at Tempest,
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: how he, like, threw a fit and got banned from
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: the tournaments.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: And they're just like, yeah, it was kind of uncomfortable
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: to see, like, a grown-up act like that or something.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: I was like, dude, yeah, fuck this guy.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: And then the girl, what episode was the girl in
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: that they said she put out a wanted ad in
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: one of the local newspapers or something?
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is coming up in episode six. Yeah, no,
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: you're good. Honestly, you're spot on. Yeah, dude, you got it.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: It's the Polybius game, dude. I mean, look at this game.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: I feel like he was probably playing this game and
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: he just didn't realize it.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: He just had a seizure.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, look at all these shapes and colors and shit, dude.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: This should be freaking.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: Me out, too. I've got myself staring at it several times.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: I know, I can't. It's fucking tripping me out. Honestly,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: I might have to download this game now. Okay, so yeah,
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: so there's this lady that they interview who dated Bobby,
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: but she definitely did not have sex with him. She
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: wanted to make that very clear. They're like, yeah, so
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: how was dating Bobby? Was he like a fun date?
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: And she's like, Yeah, he was nice. We definitely didn't
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: have sex. And they're just like, we believe you.
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: But it was like a very believable, like, let me
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: get this out of the way before you ask anything
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: more than surface level questions.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: Bobby did not put his three fingers in me.
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Bobby didn't. Bobby didn't hit me with the three Ps, baby.
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: I want to get that. I want to set that
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: down and make sure that we're all on the same page.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: I didn't fuck Bobby. Not a chance. No way.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: He did not fuck me and I did not fuck him.
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: But yeah, they all met. They met because of a
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: Miss Connections ad from the newspaper. Apparently she would like
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: read the Miss Connection ads or whatever, like out loud
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: at the coffee shop that she worked at. And Bobby
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: was always just hanging out there. So he like put
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: an ad in about her and she recognized that it
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: was about her. And then she, then he asked her
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: out on a date and she was like, yeah, sure.
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: We go on a date. But she like made a
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: bunch of other comments. Like anytime I tried to like,
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: you know, even just like touch his shoulder or if
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: I laughed and like put my hand on his shoulder,
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: he would like jump and scoot away from me. And
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: that stuff too. I was like, well, it's because he
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: got finger fucked by a three finger man when he
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: was 14. You know, I mean, it makes sense.
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It all checks out. It does!
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: They did a good job with this, again.
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, go ahead. We can come back to it, because
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: it's something at the end.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, okay, okay. But then she basically reveals that
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: as soon as she found out about his Polybius story,
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: she dumped his ass. She was not, like, she didn't, like,
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: give a shit. She wasn't, like, sentimental at all. She
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: wasn't like, damn, did that really happen to you or anything?
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: She just heard about it once, like, through, like, the grapevine.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: And she was like, fuck that. I'm not talking to
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: that asshole.
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: Bro, are you the Tempest King?
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: Dude, you the guy? You the guy that got fucked
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: in the woods? Are you kidding me? See you later, dumbass.
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: All right, nerd, I'm out.
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: That's enough. Never call me again, fuckface.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, don't ever put out an anonymous M4F ad again
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: that loosely references me. Just don't.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: Hey, wait a minute. Did you say that you got
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: kidnapped and fucked.
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: When you were 14?
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: I think we need to cut this out. How about
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: you lose my number then?
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: To the weird guy at the coffee shop that got fucked.
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: It was a misconnection for a reason.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah. I spit in your drink. Never talk to
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: me again.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: Don't come back. What up, G?
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Sorry, I just.
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: Fuck, that's awesome. God, that rules.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: I'm getting lost on this.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They lost the sauce.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: For real, man. Fucking Bobby's secret sauce, which is probably meth.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: That's true. What if he was actually Dr.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: Pepper?
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: Fuck. Dude, what if he was... The 23 flavors. It
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: wasn't 23 flavors. The three was how many fingers he had.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: And two was the amount of fingers he was missing.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: That's how they got two threes.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: Two hands, three fingers. Total.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. It was Dr. Pepper all along.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: I hope the fucking Spotify soundtrack guy is hearing this. Boy, oh, boy.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: Did we just crack the code, dude? This is an exclusive.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: I'm going to send this to the people that made
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: this show, except I might edit out the part where
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: we admit that we know that it's fake and then
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: be like, we solved it. They're just going to be like,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: what a fucking bunch of dumbasses.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: You know, idiots. Did you guys know Bobby's gay? Oh
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: my fucking God. Were you even listening, dude? Of course
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: we knew Bobby was gay.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: I think him and Ruben were fucking.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: Why do you think Ruben liked him so much, dude?
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: And Mark.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: Gay meth. Gay meth guys. It always boils down to
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: gay meth guys.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: That's what I've always heard.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: When you think about it, did you read any of
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: the comments on these Spotify episodes though? No, dude, everybody
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: thought it, everyone thought it was real. There were people
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: arguing in the comments about like.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: So like when this came out, was it not known
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: until afterwards?
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: I saw people describe. Yeah.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: I saw people describing it as like the Blair witch
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: project of like podcasts. I was like, damn, that's pretty sick. Yeah.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: People are arguing in the comments. Like they're all the
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: old comments from when it came out. And there's people
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: that are like, dude, the showrunners are starting to fucking
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: piss me off and stuff like that. Like getting mad.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: Like I think it's an episode to the one where
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: Bobby like comes unglued. So, you know, that guy that
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: left that comment is probably a shit. Probably a piece
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: of shit too.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: He's siding with Bobby.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: How do you side with Bobby? Fuck Bobby, dude.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: Honestly. Honestly. Bobby was just awful. One of the worst
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: in a show in a while. Just very unlikable. He
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: was a good character.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: Very good character, yeah. I'm super impressed by this whole thing. Yeah. Shit.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: So now we're on the final episode, episode seven. And
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: this is, I don't, I can't remember if I mentioned
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: this or not, but there's like a cipher in Mark's
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: sobriety journal, which that was a whole other curve ball
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: when they're like, but Dan, there's a cipher here. We
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: got to solve it. And they actually solve it. I
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: was like.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: With the plebeian code or the plebeian. What was it called?
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: The plebeian.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: Something like that. The plebeian code or the plebeian square
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: or something. Was it the plebeian square, maybe? Here, I'll
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: look it up real quick just to be safe.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: I guess I'm literally on a computer.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: No, that's all right. I got one. The plebeian square. Yeah,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: the plebeian square. There we go. Yeah, so they solve
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: the plebeian square, and it gives them coordinates to a
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: place in the woods. And they're basically, like, trying to decide, like,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: should we do this? Like, this is kind of fucked up. Honestly,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: in real life, I would only do this after I bought, like,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: two machine guns. Like, if both the showrunners had a
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: machine gun. Yeah, like, if.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: We were all heavily armed and, like.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: Rolling 3D. You know, he's a meth dealer. He has
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: like childhood trauma. No, you know, he's like against the
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: world kind of guy. And he's leading you out to
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: the middle of nowhere, like to the middle of the
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: state park.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: Is definitely there for him to fucking kill everybody right now.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: You can read the headlines like you can just imagine like, oh, yeah,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: these guys get fucking murdered in the woods.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so I would probably want at least two
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: Uzis per guy, just fully locked and loaded. And then
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: maybe I'd go up to the coordinates that Bobby left
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: for them. But they're just like.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they all made a point to be like, we're
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: going to have to just kind of hope at some
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: point because there's no chance we're going to have signal
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: the whole time that we're out here. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: It's kind of fucked. It's kind of a fucking dumb plan.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: I was like, realistically, I would never probably do this.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: Like I said... Unless I was with, like, 20 men
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: with shotguns. And even then, it's still like, do you
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: really want to get in a fucking firefight with Bobby?
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: Not really. Like, even if you come out on top,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: that's not a fun memory.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what's best case scenario here versus worst case scenario here?
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: Best case scenario, we end up, like, blasting him. And
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: then we still blasted a guy. It's like, that's not good.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: I want to be fun.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: I think they were just banking on... if it was
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: a real place and Bobby had already been there, then,
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: then Bobby wouldn't do anything to hurt them. If it was,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: if there was something there that was going to prove
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: any sort of, you know, basis of his story. Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: But that, that obviously doesn't happen. What does happen is
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: they find a cell phone in the woods, like around
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: the coordinates and they're like, Oh shit. And they call,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: they call Bobby's number and the phone starts ringing. So
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: they're like, Oh shit, this is Bobby's cell phone. So
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: they take that shit back to their Airbnb. But when
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: they get back to their Airbnb, all the light bulbs
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: have been removed from inside of it.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what the fuck? Yeah.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: That's the thing. Around this time is when I would
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: have been like, all right, we need to call the
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: FBI or something. Like, what the fuck are we doing here?
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: This guy's going to wreck us.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not calling the dude that owns the fucking house. No.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: I'm calling the police.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm calling the PD, bud. I'm being like, somebody
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: broke in here, stole the light bulbs. It's clearly the
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: meth head.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, what a meth head fucking
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: calling card to play fucking light bulb trickery.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: Right. Bobby's probably got Mark and Ruben on his side now.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: So you're dealing with three meth heads.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: At least.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: Three fingers, three meth heads. It just keeps coming.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: That's easy math. I'm out.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: I'm out, dude. I'm done with this shit. Fuck this show.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: This documentary is done. No, it's not for me. I'm
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: not about this. It's fun to listen to, but I
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: don't think I'd put my life on the line for it.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: I want to know how many chances they had to
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: unlock the phone before they finally got to that. As
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: I was listening to that, I'm like, all right. They're
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: being a little loosey-goosey with this, and even for 2017
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: or 18 or whatever, like, phones don't just give you
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: unlimited chances to unlock them. That's true. I didn't even
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: think about that. You had enough chances that you were trying, like,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: they were trying off-the-wall shit. Yeah. And what ended up working,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: it was like 1981 or something.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: 1981, yeah.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. How many tries did you give before you were like,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: what about the year that Polybius came out? Like, be
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: fucking crazy.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, because they literally tried Polybius as a license plate.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: Because they're like, what if.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: We abbreviate Polybius? What would that be? And it's like, okay,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: you guys are getting locked out for sure.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no way.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: No, that's a good point. I didn't think about that.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: But they're just going on. They're like, try his birthday.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: Try his fucking social security number. They probably have his socials.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: 969. That's what mine would have been.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let me see. Oh, we're in. They do kind
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: of do that, too. They do 1981. They're like, hey,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: we got it. And then they find a video of
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: Bobby walking through the woods that they were just in.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: And it shows him just getting pissed off because he's like,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: where's the tunnel? Where is it? And he's throwing a fit.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: And eventually you hear their voice coming in the distance.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: And then he takes off running and drops his phone.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: Well, and right before he said that, though, he said
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: something about God, he was like, God damn it. I
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: know it was real. Yeah. And that was, that was
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: a weird part. That was kind of a strange feeling
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: of like, is this?
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I kind of got that vibe from that part.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: It's like, it felt a little.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: Like the, yeah. The one tiny speck of this whole
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: thing where I'm like, yeah.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: Sucks for him. Like, man, I wanted the fucking rape
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: sewer fucking tunnel lines to be out here too.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: I know, dude. I'm sorry, dude. I wanted to believe him.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: As much as I thought he was, like, a shithead
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: throughout the whole thing, I was like, dude, it would be.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: I wanted there to be something. Yeah.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: It would be kind of nice to know that, like,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: this guy is just not some, like, crazy, compulsive, lying asshole.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: But also.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: At the end of the day, the easiest answer is
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: always the most obvious.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: That's true. That is usually... just fucking sucked. He's just
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: a shitty guy. Just a shitty lying guy who probably
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: got molested at the arcade and then made up a
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: bunch of stories about. At first, I thought his story
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: was going to be aliens when he was talking about
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: the three finger guy. I was like, oh, it's an
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: alien in the woods that kidnapped him.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: And it was going to be like some creature from
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: the Plebeus game or something. Yeah.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: But then when it was just like an army guy
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: with three fingers, I was kind of like, okay, I
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: don't know which one's more believable, actually.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: Right. Like they came into his house and he was
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: frozen and couldn't move. Yeah.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: Just fucking ship his ass out.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, get out.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: Get him to the woods. We need to fuck this
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: guy or fuck this kid. Why would they just take
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: him to the woods, though? If they're like these government people,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: you know, why would they.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, he got reassigned, remember?
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: Doctor signing for fucking kid duty.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: You're going to be on arcade patrol.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: Sick. Great.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, arcades. That's what I signed up for the fucking
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: military for.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: My fucking God.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: But yeah, they're not sure. Like when they're watching this video,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: they're like, is he seriously, is he putting on an
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: act for the video knowing that we're going to find
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: his phone and watch this video? And it just kind
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: of deepens the story and the uncertainty about like what's
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: going on.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, I.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like he was almost having
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: a moment of clarity and then he heard them start
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: yelling because he even like, like stops and he's like,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: if you listen closely, you can hear us start to yell.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: And then you hear him hollering for Bobby. And then
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: you hear the phone, like, tumble and fall down into
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: the woods or into the, like, down in the leaves
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: and shit. Yeah. I don't know. I wanted to believe that, like,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: they were going to keep, they found the creek, didn't they?
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they found the creek. They find the creek and
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: they're like, they're kind of like, oh shit, are we
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: just going in circles?
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: And then that's kind of when they find the phone too,
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: I think. And then, so after that, the way that
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: this kind of wrapped up is really what made me
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: like Google more stuff about it too. Because about this time,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: we're kind of getting to the final minutes of the
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: episode and they get a phone interview with Mark Sims,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: who's the meth head that supposedly helped Bobby escape from
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: the tunnels when they were kids. And he basically just
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: says like, I didn't know anything about that fucking video game.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: I was just buying meth. And they're just kind of like, oh, really?
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: That's interesting. He's like, yeah, I never heard of Polybius.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: Great guy. Never met him.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: XJB.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: And then he's like, yeah, I left Reuben because he
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: was cheating on me and it was distracting me from my...
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: He was like a sobriety counselor, basically. So he's like,
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to ruin all these other people's lives.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: So I ran off to Portland and did meth. Which
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: I was kind of like, is that a good explanation?
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: If you're trying to not suck at your job, shouldn't
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: you not be doing meth? I get running away, but like...
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: Why go by math from Bobby?
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: Now, there was something there, though. He didn't go straight
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: out there. He went there for something else, didn't he?
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: I can't remember. He just went straight to get fucking math.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: See, I don't remember.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: Because he was keeping the journal while he was there,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: wasn't he?
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: I guess, yeah. Maybe he was trying to just run
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: away from Ruben. Well, because Ruben cheated and he knew
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: he was going to leave. So he left and just went.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: That's what he said. That's what he knew.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: That town. He rattled off the name of the town.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: He said, all I knew was this town, so that's
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: where I went.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: That's right. So he was just going back there to live,
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: and then he ended up relapsing and going back into
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: doing meth.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: And that was when he was talking about turning tricks
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: when he was a kid at the freaking arcade and shit. Yeah.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: So that gets pretty dark, too.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It went quick, too. He was like, oh, yeah.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: That stuff at the arcade, yeah, that was fucked up.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: You know, we were all doing what we had to do. Yeah.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like, so is that? And then you
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: kind of start to realize, oh, that's probably what Bobby
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: was up to as well. And he just, like, fabricated
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: this whole story.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. During the whole Ruben or Mark voicemail, that whole thing,
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: that whole interaction with him, as that all unraveled, I'm like,
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: this dude was fucking molested by the doctor when he
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: was little. Yeah. Like that was when it all clicked.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, it all hits.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: Cause he kind of, he talks about how he was like,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: you know, willingly like prostituting himself, but then he got
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: cornered by the doctor one day and he's like, the
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: doctor got me alone. But then like the janitor came
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: in or something.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think he said, yeah, he said it was
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: definitely happening, but he didn't know that he did it.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: He didn't know that he was involved in it.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: So, so that's when we find out the whole, I
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: guess the three finger doc story does pretty wild, pretty
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: wild shit. And you think that's going to be the
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: last twist in this whole thing, but then they get Rube.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: You're like, okay, this has got to be the end.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: You're like, here we go. That makes sense. That wraps
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: everything up nicely. But then they talk to Ruben again,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: and he's like, that's not Mark. He's like, whoever that
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: fucker is.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: Who did you talk to?
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: He's like, what the fuck? He's like, I just saw Mark.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: Are you guys fucking with me? Yeah, are you fucking Mark?
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: They're like, Mark just came to my house, and he's
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: strung out on meth. And they're like, oh, he looked
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: pretty good, or he sounded good when we talked to him.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: And so they show him the interview. And he's like,
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: that's not Mark's voice. And they're kind of like, what
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: do you mean? He's like, yeah, I don't know who you're,
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you're fucking with me or whatever,
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: but that's not Mark. He's like dead serious. Like Mark's
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: a clone now.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: That part was pretty wild.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: And that just threw up a whole other bunch of
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: questions where it's like, are we supposed to believe that
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: like the government, this, this like shadowy organization got rid
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: of Mark and replaced him with like a fake Mark?
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: Right. Yeah.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: Or are we supposed to believe that Ruben's just kind
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: of bitter and pissed off and he's like, nah, Mark's
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: on meth.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: That was what I, yeah, like that's what I took
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: away from it was, was he was just disgruntled and
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: ex-lover that didn't, it didn't pan out how he wanted
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: it to. Yeah.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: You could kind of tell the whole time that even
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: though he was like, I know Mark's not going to
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: forgive me that he was thinking like, we're going to
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: get back together though.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you're not doing that for nothing.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: No, no, you're not. You could just, you know, wait and,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: you know, call his ass or something.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: Right. Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: Unless you're trying to pound his butt. You're not going
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: all the way out to Portland.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: No, you're, yeah. You're not going there for closure. You're
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: going there for opener.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh man. He's trying to, yeah. I mean, he's
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: trying to dust off his Prius. If you know what
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Might be a little dust on the bottle.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: Shit.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: Dude, shout out to the fucking three-fing.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: Three-finger death punch.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: Hell yeah, dude.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: Yes. Yes, sir.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: Fuck yeah. I can't believe my wife was at Theory
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: of a Dead Man tonight. We should have been there, bro.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: What the fuck? Yeah.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: I don't think I would have survived the pit, to
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: be honest.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: Probably not. Yeah, I know. My wife took our nice
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: lawn chair, so... I wouldn't have stayed awake in the pit,
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: being honest with you.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, brother. Was that Bobby?
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: That was Bobby.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: Bobby breaks into your house, steals all your light bulbs.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: Counts everybody's fingers. Stick them up.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: Well, I think that pretty much wraps this one up.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: Was there ever a video game that you would have
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: had all 10 spots in? That I would have had what?
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: all 10 high scores in? Like, was there a video
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: game when you were growing up that you would have been, like,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: just the fucking man at? No.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: No chance. Like, the only game I ever really liked
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: that much was, like, Skate 2, and my buddy Miles
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: was always better at it than everybody else, and it
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: fucking sucked, and he made it not fun. Yeah. But
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: it was still fun.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: No SNES games back in the day?
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we played Mario and stuff.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: Okay. Mario's sick.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: Donkey Kong. Remember we had the adapter you could put
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: Game Boy games in it?
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was awesome.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: That shit was tight. But as far as high scores, no. No, nothing.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: See, I don't think I probably would have either. There
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: was a couple of games I was pretty good at
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: growing up, but like, I don't know. Nowadays, though, when
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: I watch people play video games on the internet, I'm like, oh, damn,
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: I was kind of dog shit at that game. Like,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: I thought I was good at it, but like. You
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: see people just blasting through Mortal Kombat 2 on the
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: hardest setting, and they're not getting hurt, the whole thing.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: And it's just like, what the fuck, dude? I'm a
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: fucking piece of shit.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: I'm an ass at this game.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: I should have sold my Super Nintendo a long time ago.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: No shit, I should have been buying Bitcoin back then.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: What the fuck was I doing?
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: Fucking dumbass, dude.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: I'm a fucking nerd.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude. God damn it. Yeah, yeah. My two favorite
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: old games right now are probably still Mega Man X
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: and the Maximum Carnage, the Spider-Man game, when you're just side-scrolling,
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: beating up fucking shitty dudes and stuff.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: I was just talking to you about it. My daughter,
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: she's pulled up a video of Michael Jackson somewhere. Some
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: kid was watching Michael Jackson play. somehow he's relevant to
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: her right now yeah and i was telling her about
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: the the moonwalker game on sega where like you could
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: like after so many levels you got bubbles the monkey. And, like,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: you could spin around and fucking, like, throw his hat
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: and shit. Shit was so sweet.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've only seen videos.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: They're proud of that game on the secondary market now. Yeah,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: I've seen... I mean.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's some crazy games. Like, as far as, like,
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: pricing goes and collectibles and shit. Yeah, there's some crazy shit.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: Some games that, like... Well, actually, probably my favorite game
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: for Super Nintendo is probably Earthbound. And that game is, like...
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: For just the cartridge, it's, like, $ 500. Holy fuck! Yeah, dude,
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: it's crazy.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not familiar with that one.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: It's like an RPG. It was a Japanese game, but
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: it's really cool. It kind of looks like the... the
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: Pokemon games, like the red, yellow, blue, like top down RPG.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: And you get into little battles and stuff, but it
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: just has like a really, really cool story. It's basically
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: about aliens coming to earth. And this little kid teams
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: up with some friends and he has psychic powers and shit.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: It's really good. Hell yeah.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I didn't, I was more like we had a
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: lot of 64 games, but it was never anything super
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: like storyline based. Yeah. Mortal Kombat trilogy and Madden.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: Dude, Madden was sick. Yeah, yeah. I mean, those are
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: all fucking solid games. I feel like you can't go
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: wrong with the classics, dude. So that was our breakdown
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: of the Polybius Conspiracy by Radiotopia. Go check that out
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: on Spotify. Next week or the next time we get together,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: we're going to be doing a breakdown or like almost
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: like a, what would you call it? Like a revamping
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: of the Can't Hardly Wait soundtrack. I'm really excited about that.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: There's like 42 songs or something on the thing. We're
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: going to go through and pick our favorite, like our
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: top 15. So it's almost going to be like a
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: bracket thing in a way. I'm really excited to do that, dude.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: I'm very hyped on that. Yeah.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: It's actually something, listening back to older episodes, something that
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: we have foreshadowed on. So it's cool that... That we're
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: finally doing this. I say finally like it's been years,
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: but it's cool that we're doing something like this. I'm
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: really excited about it.
• 1:21:05
