  You.
• 0:02
  Hello, listeners. I am
• 0:05
  the narrator.
• 0:09
  Today's story takes place in the town of Devil's
• 0:11
  Lake, North Dakota, a small, remote
• 0:14
  town in the middle of nowhere. The year
• 0:17
  is 1985. The date,
• 0:20
  August 19. This tale will bring with
• 0:23
  it mysteries in intrigue,
• 0:25
  lies, hidden realities, and
• 0:28
  the blending, uh, of fact from mythos.
• 0:31
  Join our hunters as they seek out the truth and
• 0:34
  find those who are missing in today's
• 0:36
  story of Music Mayhem.
• 0:41
  Welcome back to episode three of
• 0:44
  Music Mayhem. Um, hunters. Haven
• 0:47
  we find our three hunters? We've, uh,
• 0:50
  got Dennis, Denny Rogers in the house.
• 0:53
  We got Kenny professional, uh, kid
• 0:56
  detective.
• 0:56
  Kenny here, and then Bobby.
• 0:59
  I acquire things.
• 1:01
  There you go. I'm glad we all have our catchphrases.
• 1:05
  Um, catchphrase
• 1:08
  legolius perfection.
• 1:10
  That's pretty good. But I was
• 1:13
  expecting bigfoot's out.
• 1:16
  He's always watching. Um, so
• 1:19
  you guys have all awoken from your night's
• 1:22
  sleep. You've all met, uh,
• 1:24
  uh, Kenny, uh, did you pick up
• 1:27
  Dennis? Did you pick up Kenny in the morning or did you just drive over
• 1:30
  there on your mower and then Kenny has to just walk there?
• 1:34
  I picked him up, okay? You picked him up.
• 1:36
  He's got a sidecar on his m mower.
• 1:38
  Yeah, just specifically for Kenny and his
• 1:41
  bowling mate.
• 1:42
  Uh, Copenhagen definitely brought his
• 1:45
  bowling ball along.
• 1:47
  It's a weapon. And then, uh, you
• 1:50
  guys get to the bowling alley and you see Bobby sitting in
• 1:53
  her truck. She sees you guys and waves you on
• 1:56
  over.
• 1:57
  Hey there, Bobby. Hey. Look at that. She followed
• 1:59
  through.
• 2:02
  You can sit in the bed of my truck.
• 2:04
  You didn't hear me say that?
• 2:13
  I don't even know if Denny heard.
• 2:16
  He's too busy saying, hey there, Bobby.
• 2:18
  Hey there. Huh, bobby.
• 2:20
  You guys get out hey, dad.
• 2:22
  Mower.
• 2:22
  And then hop in the truck.
• 2:24
  I get out of the mower and I make the locking
• 2:27
  sound with my mouth.
• 2:33
  Sounds like Uncle Denny is a sound effects kind
• 2:36
  of guy. Stay there now. Don't
• 2:39
  go wandering up down there. Betsy,
• 2:44
  is this the same lawnmower that has, uh,
• 2:46
  the hood argument on it?
• 2:48
  Yeah.
• 2:48
  Okay. Nice.
• 2:50
  All right, guys, uh, where are we headed today?
• 2:53
  You tell me.
• 2:54
  Well, I've been thinking about that
• 2:57
  while I was lying awake last night
• 3:00
  trying to hum myself to sleep
• 3:03
  with a nice little lullaby. And that's when I
• 3:06
  realized that all those reports we
• 3:08
  read last night, uh, uh,
• 3:12
  every last one of them mentioned music
• 3:15
  of some kind.
• 3:16
  That's very astute, Uncle Danny.
• 3:18
  You think Cher had something to do with
• 3:22
  it's?
• 3:22
  I think it's too early to rule her out. She
• 3:25
  is a bit of a trouble.
• 3:27
  Causer I've never met her.
• 3:29
  Uh, who is this
• 3:31
  she's in?
• 3:32
  Is she new in town?
• 3:33
  Uh, well, uh, she's a music artist, Uncle
• 3:36
  Danny. She's kind of a big deal right now in the
• 3:39
  music industry.
• 3:40
  You don't see.
• 3:41
  Yeah. Uh, but, uh, all that
• 3:44
  being said,
• 3:46
  I suppose anything's possible at this point.
• 3:49
  Um, I just don't really know how we would investigate
• 3:52
  Cher, uh, without going down to her
• 3:55
  house, which I would assume is probably in the Hollywood
• 3:57
  Hills. Uh, and
• 4:00
  I don't think she would take kindly to us just questioning in
• 4:03
  and asking her a whole bunch of questions about mission kids.
• 4:06
  Well, uh, uh, what about some of our
• 4:09
  local stations?
• 4:11
  Yeah, we only got really one local station.
• 4:13
  No.
• 4:13
  Oh, we got more.
• 4:15
  There's way more than just one. There's three local stations.
• 4:18
  Well, instead of driving all over town, uh,
• 4:21
  what if we just called the
• 4:23
  houses and asked,
• 4:26
  I don't know what sort of music the
• 4:29
  kids listen to?
• 4:31
  We call it Houses of the Mission kids.
• 4:33
  Yeah. Where's the most, uh,
• 4:36
  payphone.
• 4:37
  Yeah.
• 4:38
  Maybe this music is inciting a
• 4:41
  rebellious spirit in these kids and they're just
• 4:43
  all ditching school to go
• 4:47
  live in one of those hippie communities.
• 4:51
  Maybe they are moving to North Dakota. Oh, my goodness.
• 4:54
  Yeah.
• 4:54
  I once signed a petition to ban.
• 4:57
  They'Re all in.
• 5:00
  The other direction.
• 5:01
  No, that's where the hippies are. It's warmer there.
• 5:04
  You've been through this.
• 5:05
  Actually, they're going to go wrap stones
• 5:08
  and wire.
• 5:09
  When you guys are talking about asking about the kids
• 5:12
  of today, you see a teenager walking outside of
• 5:15
  the car. He's walking around cleaning up
• 5:18
  the bowling alley parking lot, actually sweeping
• 5:20
  it.
• 5:21
  So can we just ask him what kids listen to
• 5:24
  so we don't have to waste our precious coins on a
• 5:26
  payphone?
• 5:27
  Uh, why do you think I just
• 5:30
  presented anyways? You can roll down the
• 5:33
  window.
• 5:33
  I roll down the window and say, hey, kid.
• 5:35
  What's?
• 5:39
  Calm down, it's just me, Kenny
• 5:42
  whitlock kid.
• 5:43
  Detective. Sorry, I got anxious
• 5:45
  real quick.
• 5:46
  It's okay, I'm just doing my job.
• 5:50
  I'm not looking at all these nice cars
• 5:53
  out here at nine in the morning in the bowling alley parking
• 5:56
  lot.
• 5:56
  Uh, no, that's fine and dandy.
• 5:58
  You do all two of them, friend.
• 6:00
  I just need to ask you a question, if you don't mind.
• 6:03
  Oh, sure, yeah. What's it for?
• 6:05
  What's? Everybody at the high school, what kind of music you guys listening
• 6:08
  to?
• 6:09
  Uh, what? That's a weird question.
• 6:12
  Well, yeah, but I mean, it could have been like
• 6:14
  inappropriate and I didn't go that direction, so I mean, it's
• 6:17
  worth answering.
• 6:18
  Goodness, you didn't?
• 6:19
  That's right. It would have been awkward for both of us.
• 6:21
  I guess the music that we're all really into is that
• 6:24
  new DJ oh.
• 6:26
  Uh, what's his name?
• 6:27
  DJ Re pip repip.
• 6:29
  Yeah.
• 6:30
  Playing all today's hits. Most of our local
• 6:33
  stations play like, that boring,
• 6:35
  like old timey music or
• 6:38
  it's local talk radio and it's
• 6:41
  like.
• 6:41
  Yeah, that's just boring.
• 6:42
  Annoying.
• 6:43
  Yeah. Ah, it's just politics.
• 6:44
  Like modern music. We have to go to
• 6:47
  the local, uh, uh, disc shop to buy some
• 6:50
  discs. But DJ Repip came to
• 6:53
  town and now everyone's been listening to his music.
• 6:56
  When you say he came to town, how recent was that?
• 6:59
  About a week and a half ago.
• 7:01
  Kenny just turns and looks at the.
• 7:03
  Other two in the car with, like.
• 7:04
  Uh, a look of incredulous.
• 7:05
  All the kids are talking about he.
• 7:07
  Came here a week and a half ago, and he already has
• 7:10
  his own show.
• 7:11
  I don't want to say came. I don't know where
• 7:14
  he's from. Uh, his radio
• 7:16
  station appeared on our radio about a week and a half ago,
• 7:19
  and us kids picked up on it pretty quick. The old folks,
• 7:22
  our parents and stuff, they're, like, turn that racket on, or when they have
• 7:25
  control of the radio, they turn it off or change it to
• 7:28
  the talk radio. But us
• 7:31
  kids, when we're alone, we can listen to the
• 7:33
  modern pop music and rock music,
• 7:36
  and it's great.
• 7:39
  Huey Lewis. I love it.
• 7:41
  Oh, yeah. Rock on,
• 7:43
  friend.
• 7:44
  Yeah.
• 7:45
  All right, well, you have fun sweeping up the rest of
• 7:48
  this parking lot.
• 7:49
  Can I have a tip?
• 7:51
  Um, for doing your job, uh,
• 7:53
  for.
• 7:54
  Being a good model citizen? And he holds
• 7:57
  out his hand.
• 8:00
  Just give him, like, a low five,
• 8:03
  okay?
• 8:04
  And he just walks back to sweeping up
• 8:06
  popcorn nearby.
• 8:09
  I'm trying to think of a good dad
• 8:12
  tip. I got a tip for you.
• 8:15
  He turns around.
• 8:17
  Don't, uh, pee into the wind.
• 8:21
  His face, like, drops.
• 8:22
  Learned that one at the lumber mill.
• 8:24
  Okay. And he gives you, like, a
• 8:27
  questioning look and then just goes back to sweeping
• 8:30
  up the popcorn.
• 8:31
  Well, guys, I don't know about you guys, but this sounds a little
• 8:34
  weird, right? Like, new DJ that all the kids are obsessed
• 8:37
  with comes into town, and immediately
• 8:40
  kids start disappearing. How weird is that?
• 8:42
  And it seems like quite of a big coinky
• 8:45
  dink for it to be a coinky dink.
• 8:47
  That's right. I think he might be responsible
• 8:50
  for that. I don't know how I don't know how yet, but
• 8:53
  I think he might have something to do with these missing kids. I
• 8:56
  think we should drive on down to, uh,
• 8:59
  his radio station.
• 9:00
  Does, uh, anybody know where that is, or are
• 9:03
  you just wasting my gas again?
• 9:05
  We haven't even started the car. Calm down,
• 9:08
  Bobby.
• 9:08
  It's true.
• 9:10
  Uh, do any of the files, the
• 9:13
  crime scene things mention repip?
• 9:16
  No. In terms
• 9:19
  of the music, they just mentioned that their
• 9:22
  speakers or radios were on. That's all they mentioned.
• 9:24
  They'll mention what it's on, though. Just they were on.
• 9:27
  I mean, really? We could go to
• 9:32
  any of the local radio stations,
• 9:35
  and I'm sure they know where everybody else is
• 9:38
  at. So if we know
• 9:41
  one, even if it's not this one, they can tell us,
• 9:44
  like, oh, yeah, he's got his set up over here, and
• 9:47
  we could just go over there.
• 9:49
  Do we know anything about the town?
• 9:51
  Like, is there you guys would know where
• 9:54
  the local station is especially for that talk radio.
• 9:57
  An old abandoned radio station.
• 10:01
  Oh, yeah, anything like
• 10:03
  that.
• 10:04
  An old abandoned radio station.
• 10:06
  So let's just drive to the, uh,
• 10:09
  one known.
• 10:11
  There is no abandoned radio
• 10:13
  stations that you can think of.
• 10:15
  Okay?
• 10:16
  We'll make it abandoned.
• 10:18
  Okay.
• 10:18
  All right, so we drive to the.
• 10:20
  Inhabited radio local Tommy news
• 10:23
  station, where, uh,
• 10:26
  you go in, and you're greeted by the lady
• 10:29
  at the front door, the secretary. She's like,
• 10:31
  oh, hey, how can I help you guys today?
• 10:34
  Yeah, we're actually trying to find out.
• 10:37
  Uh, this isn't the studio
• 10:40
  where Repip does his show, right? We're hoping to get an
• 10:43
  autograph.
• 10:43
  Not a chance. No, we don't have that
• 10:46
  trash modern day music here. No, we play
• 10:49
  the important stuff here. Local
• 10:52
  news.
• 10:53
  Oh, yeah, local news. I would ask for
• 10:56
  an autograph, but it's not really
• 10:59
  how news work.
• 11:00
  From the secretary?
• 11:01
  Uh, no, not from her.
• 11:02
  Um.
• 11:05
  Do you by any chance know where it is that, uh,
• 11:08
  Repip does his show from, like, where in
• 11:11
  town?
• 11:12
  Nope.
• 11:13
  I mean, he's got to be transmitting a signal, which I assume
• 11:15
  he is.
• 11:16
  But no one really knows. Uh, we've been talking about him because he's
• 11:19
  a new commodity here in town, new competition.
• 11:22
  Um, but, um, no, we have no idea where
• 11:25
  he's working out of. We know he's got to be somewhere nearby, or else
• 11:28
  his signal would be pretty weak. But it sounds pretty strong, so we're
• 11:31
  assuming it's somewhere nearby, but we have no
• 11:34
  idea where.
• 11:34
  It's got to be somewhere nearby. Do you know any way that there
• 11:37
  is of, uh, finding that signal or
• 11:40
  tracking that signal in any way?
• 11:43
  Well, all signals do have to be
• 11:45
  registered, uh, for a local
• 11:48
  one, because they get taxed legally.
• 11:51
  Um, he would have to create a business. Uh,
• 11:54
  did the business have a name?
• 11:57
  I don't know, but I suppose if it had a
• 12:00
  name, then it would be registered with the
• 12:03
  local governance.
• 12:04
  Right. Yeah, I would check there.
• 12:06
  All right, thank you for your time. I really appreciate
• 12:08
  it. Uh, you've done the Devil Lake,
• 12:11
  uh, legal department a service today.
• 12:14
  I'm not part of the legal department.
• 12:15
  No, I am.
• 12:16
  Oh, okay. Well, don't
• 12:19
  mention it.
• 12:19
  Uh, have a nice oh.
• 12:22
  Oh, and I'm, uh, just legally
• 12:25
  obligated to say I've been recording this whole
• 12:27
  conversation, both with my
• 12:30
  camcorder and my audio cassette
• 12:33
  recorder.
• 12:34
  Did you get my good side?
• 12:36
  And I pull up the Polaroid picture.
• 12:43
  I didn't put on my blush first. Oh, dear.
• 12:46
  Hope I look nice.
• 12:48
  All right, with that, we head out, and we head towards
• 12:51
  the local the.
• 12:52
  Coolest building of them all. The local
• 12:55
  government office. Probably just go to town
• 12:58
  hall.
• 13:01
  I don't know why I couldn't think of the city hall is just going to have everything
• 13:04
  you need. All local government, I guess. Local
• 13:07
  chamber the coolest place in town.
• 13:10
  It's probably the oldest building in town, 100%
• 13:13
  is. And the mayor's here, too, so you got
• 13:16
  that going for you, but isn't.
• 13:18
  He out of town?
• 13:19
  No, that's the McCook M family who actually are getting back in
• 13:22
  town today. You're right. Later today.
• 13:23
  Okay.
• 13:24
  All right.
• 13:25
  We go walking in and we
• 13:28
  see the lines that are created
• 13:31
  with those.
• 13:31
  Like what?
• 13:31
  Uh, are those ticker tape? I don't
• 13:34
  know what you oh, okay.
• 13:35
  I'll be honest. No one's in line.
• 13:37
  All right.
• 13:37
  Monday at nine in the morning.
• 13:38
  Are we all in there?
• 13:39
  Need you come with us?
• 13:40
  Okay. All right, awesome. So the three of us are in there. We just make our way through the
• 13:43
  line up to the front desk.
• 13:44
  I don't I just walk right
• 13:47
  not.
• 13:48
  Be honest, I have no idea what department you would go to.
• 13:51
  Check like public records? Is that
• 13:53
  just public records?
• 13:54
  I would say, or chamber of commerce or something like that.
• 13:57
  Maybe they'd have maybe they're combined. How small this town
• 14:00
  is. Probably just combined.
• 14:01
  I feel like there's probably just one person and then she's just
• 14:03
  like there's.
• 14:04
  A few people that work the paper, but there's a secretary there
• 14:07
  sitting there to help you guys out while the others work in the back.
• 14:11
  She's like, oh, how may I help
• 14:13
  you?
• 14:14
  Uh, yeah, I mean, uh, we're actually here
• 14:17
  on detective business.
• 14:19
  Oh, how are you doing, Denny?
• 14:22
  Oh, hey there. I'm doing pretty
• 14:25
  swell.
• 14:25
  How's the wife and kids?
• 14:28
  Oh, they're doing, uh,
• 14:30
  know Doug's. He's on the JV football
• 14:33
  team this year.
• 14:34
  Oh, that's so exciting. My little Markey is on
• 14:37
  JV football team.
• 14:38
  Oh, I bet they're giving each other a good
• 14:41
  walloping.
• 14:42
  Oh, I hope so. That makes them better to take down Oak
• 14:45
  Hill.
• 14:46
  That's darn tooten.
• 14:49
  Yeah. Anyway, what brings you folks in here
• 14:52
  today?
• 14:52
  Yeah, we were just hoping if maybe you had some information on
• 14:55
  the business, um, registration
• 14:58
  that might have been put in place for a recent local, uh,
• 15:01
  DJ on the radio.
• 15:04
  You're going to have to be a little more specific than that.
• 15:06
  Uh, we're looking for repip, uh,
• 15:10
  DJ Re. I suppose you spell that.
• 15:12
  R e uh,
• 15:15
  P-I-P. Yeah, that sounds right.
• 15:18
  That sounds about right. But I know who you're talking about. But
• 15:21
  I'll be honest, I know his station. I don't know the name of the
• 15:24
  business. Maybe I can look into it, but
• 15:27
  I know where to start. Well, maybe well,
• 15:30
  it'd be a really.
• 15:31
  Recent business listing and it would be.
• 15:33
  Filed under have a name of the radio station,
• 15:36
  maybe?
• 15:37
  Wasn't that like Shaqs or something?
• 15:40
  Uh, it was a hits from the old to
• 15:43
  the today.
• 15:45
  But it had a name. The station had a name.
• 15:48
  Did it?
• 15:49
  It did. I'm pretty sure it started with an
• 15:52
  S. It did.
• 15:53
  Shaq.
• 15:55
  Shaq.
• 15:56
  Not Shaq. Not Shaq.
• 15:58
  Shaq.
• 15:59
  Not shaq. Do you guys need me to just say
• 16:02
  it? The name of the radio station was
• 16:04
  Siren Song.
• 16:06
  Oh, yeah,
• 16:09
  we dug deep in our memories for
• 16:11
  that.
• 16:13
  You got shock. You kept hearing shock.
• 16:18
  Siren song radio.
• 16:21
  Oh.
• 16:21
  Jiminy Christmas, fellas. You
• 16:24
  know what I just realized?
• 16:26
  What's that?
• 16:26
  When he was spelling out the old repip,
• 16:29
  well, if you take the letters and you put them
• 16:32
  backwards, it spills a, uh, paper.
• 16:35
  Paper?
• 16:36
  Like the paid paper.
• 16:37
  Oh, does he make pies?
• 16:41
  No, he led
• 16:44
  children away.
• 16:45
  What? Yeah.
• 16:51
  Well, I mean, originally it was about, uh,
• 16:54
  wasn't about the Children's Crusade or something, um,
• 16:57
  along those lines.
• 16:59
  I don't know what you're talking about.
• 17:01
  I also don't know what.
• 17:04
  Uncle Danny.
• 17:05
  I don't mean did you want me to look up that station or
• 17:08
  do you find something about Piper?
• 17:10
  If you could look up that station.
• 17:12
  Like Ron Piper, you know,
• 17:15
  the local owns, uh, the local gym.
• 17:18
  Ron Piper? Is that what you're talking about?
• 17:20
  No.
• 17:21
  Maybe. I don't know.
• 17:22
  Okay. But I can look
• 17:25
  up that siren song radio
• 17:28
  station. I'll go find, uh, Daryl. He'll
• 17:31
  probably find the file somewhere.
• 17:32
  Thank you so much.
• 17:35
  Okay, so what is this whole Pied Piper thing? I
• 17:38
  don't know anything about this. I don't mean to make you sound kind of
• 17:41
  aged, Uncle Denny,
• 17:44
  but, uh, I'm not really aware of what that
• 17:47
  is. That old story or some oh, it's been a
• 17:49
  while.
• 17:50
  Let me think here.
• 17:51
  Now, I know some guys, they
• 17:54
  use pipes.
• 17:56
  Well, I mean, the story of the pipe Piper is what,
• 17:59
  the guy with the rats? But wasn't that
• 18:01
  also based on something
• 18:04
  else beyond that?
• 18:05
  So it's kind of like there's way more than just the rats.
• 18:08
  I was going to say. So it's kind of like all the old
• 18:10
  nursery rhymes and stuff where they were kind of metaphorical
• 18:13
  for something.
• 18:14
  Was he the one that did snakes, too, or is that someone else?
• 18:17
  So the story of the Pied Piper, if you guys want
• 18:20
  it, is the guy was hired, or
• 18:23
  rather was hired to
• 18:26
  a town, was having trouble, a.
• 18:27
  Huge rap problem, right?
• 18:28
  So he came into town to solve the rat issue. A local
• 18:31
  dude who could lure the rats away by playing music.
• 18:34
  Um, the thing is, after, uh,
• 18:37
  he got rid of the whole rat problem and just
• 18:40
  led them out of town, and he led them off a cliff where they all
• 18:42
  died. Uh, he came back to town and they were
• 18:45
  like, oh, you got rid of the rats.
• 18:47
  Thanks.
• 18:47
  And he's like, where's my money? And they're like, what money?
• 18:50
  So they didn't pay him the money he promised them. So the next day, he
• 18:53
  played his music and lured all the kids out of town to walk off
• 18:56
  the cliff. And then he walked away from the town. And
• 18:59
  that's the story of the Pied Piper.
• 19:00
  So we're not going to get our money?
• 19:05
  I'm just saying that's the story. So now he knows the context. Uh,
• 19:08
  his brain just went oh, yeah, there it is.
• 19:11
  I can see.
• 19:14
  Explaining it to us.
• 19:17
  It was actually security guard Joe who was just standing
• 19:20
  nearby. He was like, oh, I know that.
• 19:22
  That's why you always pay the milk, man.
• 19:24
  All right. I'm m lactose intolerant.
• 19:27
  No, I'm just kidding. Wow. Doubly.
• 19:30
  Why the car, Uncle Denny? Is that like an old black and white movie or
• 19:33
  something? Is that like a horror movie? It sounds like a horror
• 19:36
  movie. Is that episode of The Twilight Zone?
• 19:39
  No, uh, it's something you got to read in a book there.
• 19:42
  Okay.
• 19:43
  All right, so anyway,
• 19:45
  the lady comes back with a file and she's like, oh, I got your
• 19:48
  address here.
• 19:49
  Oh, fantastic way.
• 19:51
  It's not near town. Anyway, it's actually a weird
• 19:54
  building. Um, no one really uses anymore. It's the old
• 19:56
  abandoned warehouse. The, uh, crook and borrow out
• 19:59
  in the middle of the woods out there near Devil's Lake.
• 20:02
  The crook and borrow.
• 20:03
  All right, is it because he's a crook and he borrows our
• 20:06
  kids?
• 20:07
  No, that's just the old name of the warehouse.
• 20:10
  He's now turned it into a modern radio station, but
• 20:13
  that's just the place that I guess that's honestly pretty impressive.
• 20:16
  House shop.
• 20:18
  All right, I think we should head out in
• 20:21
  that direction.
• 20:21
  Here's the address. And she just hands you guys the address
• 20:24
  on a piece of postit she hands to you guys. Is, um,
• 20:28
  that anything else, folks?
• 20:29
  No, I think that's everything we needed. We were just
• 20:32
  curious. Even the other radio stations didn't know where the heck
• 20:34
  these guys he's brand new. I see that here.
• 20:37
  To date here, he was established, what, August
• 20:40
  10.
• 20:41
  Oh, wow.
• 20:42
  Yeah, 1210 days ago.
• 20:44
  Out of curiosity, I don't know if you were here maybe when
• 20:47
  he came in, when he registered the business.
• 20:50
  I have a few folks. I do remember an OD fellow coming
• 20:53
  in out of town who registered a new place. I must have been
• 20:56
  this place, but we've had a couple of new places registered
• 20:59
  here recently.
• 21:00
  Do you remember anything about him when he came in and you saw him?
• 21:03
  Not particularly. Um,
• 21:06
  I'm going to be honest. He had a mask
• 21:09
  on. Like a mask? Like,
• 21:12
  um, a doctor's mask
• 21:16
  you see in the hospital. Like he was sick or something.
• 21:19
  He was worried about that influenza that's been going around.
• 21:22
  Oh, yeah. He's not the only one wearing the mask
• 21:25
  around town. I heard
• 21:27
  spreading, but it's a real bummer.
• 21:29
  They just got rid of smallpox and now this.
• 21:32
  It's always something, isn't it? Always something. But so I didn't
• 21:35
  recognize it. Could have been a local member. I'm just not too familiar
• 21:38
  with. But yeah, uh, I didn't
• 21:41
  recognize him. All I know is he, uh, registered the
• 21:44
  place and he gave us his name.
• 21:48
  All right, well, thank you so much for your
• 21:50
  help. And with that, I'm going
• 21:53
  to start leading out the door.
• 21:56
  You guys will leave. Any last questions?
• 21:59
  What was this lady's name?
• 22:00
  She never gave a name, but she knew me.
• 22:03
  She knew you? Yeah. You literally could say any name if you want. It doesn't
• 22:06
  really matter. Gene, jean George is in there.
• 22:10
  See you later there, Gene.
• 22:12
  See you, Dennis. Uh, give your loves to the wife and the kids for
• 22:15
  me.
• 22:15
  Will do. Take care.
• 22:21
  So you guys walk away. You hear her talking to Daryl in the back.
• 22:24
  He's like, oh, yeah, his wife's in
• 22:27
  my book club.
• 22:31
  So you guys all hop in the car and I'm guessing you're heading straight
• 22:34
  over to this abandoned warehouse turned radio
• 22:36
  station. So you guys all get there
• 22:39
  and board it up.
• 22:43
  Can we just bust it open?
• 22:45
  There's?
• 22:45
  Ah, a front door. Yeah.
• 22:47
  Do we notice any kind of, um,
• 22:49
  satellite dishes or anything like that that.
• 22:51
  Are there's weird
• 22:53
  homemade tower on top of it? Okay,
• 22:56
  it's very homemade. A lot of random metal pieces that all
• 22:59
  kind of point up.
• 23:01
  You have like a vehicle?
• 23:02
  There is a car out front. Actually, it's a red
• 23:05
  pickup. Uh, yeah, other than
• 23:07
  that, there's a car here.
• 23:10
  It looks like it's used, and it looks like he's got some weird
• 23:12
  makeshift radio thing going.
• 23:14
  Really hard to kidnap kids with a flatbed
• 23:17
  truck.
• 23:18
  What do you mean? There's so much space back there, people would
• 23:20
  see it.
• 23:21
  Oh, maybe he got a cover. Maybe in the back.
• 23:24
  Maybe he's got a tarp.
• 23:25
  Why you kidnap kids in a van?
• 23:28
  Take, uh, a picture of the license plate
• 23:31
  there.
• 23:32
  So you do that.
• 23:32
  Good idea.
• 23:33
  And as you get out of the car, uh, you
• 23:36
  hear in the background some, um,
• 23:39
  low, like bass.
• 23:40
  Um okay, guys, so we
• 23:43
  already kind of have this idea that maybe he might be involved.
• 23:46
  This could be our guy. And I mean, the kids could be
• 23:49
  in there too. I don't know if it's necessarily the best
• 23:52
  idea to just go busting in the door, uh,
• 23:55
  or even knocking on it. I mean, should we knock on the door
• 23:58
  and try to act all, like, nice and polite, like we're just
• 24:01
  curious or I don't know, we're just out.
• 24:03
  In the middle of the nowhere trying.
• 24:05
  To get an autograph.
• 24:08
  You're soliciting and maybe
• 24:11
  you want to play like the, uh, Jehovah's witness card or
• 24:14
  something. Oh, man.
• 24:16
  Okay.
• 24:18
  Uh, you got like a book with your
• 24:20
  stuff?
• 24:22
  Uh, it's a bigfoot book.
• 24:26
  Everything you need to know about Bigfoot
• 24:28
  and his feet.
• 24:31
  The title of the book is what sort of
• 24:34
  Creature is it?
• 24:39
  Dictionary. That's good. That's clever. Oh, that's
• 24:42
  good.
• 24:43
  Uh, yeah.
• 24:44
  I suppose we could try to pedal this book to him.
• 24:47
  Maybe he'll even let us inside. Maybe that's what we try to push
• 24:50
  for. Bobby, what are you going to don't
• 24:53
  think usually they come in twos.
• 24:55
  I mean, this author does have a whole set of other books.
• 24:58
  Yeah, there you wait.
• 25:00
  We're trying to get him to join our he.
• 25:02
  Are we salesmen?
• 25:04
  He sells this know, after we sell.
• 25:06
  Him this book, maybe I tell him there's been reportings
• 25:09
  of bigfoot in the area.
• 25:12
  Okay.
• 25:14
  Maybe you'd find that interesting.
• 25:17
  And then we just kind of improv from there.
• 25:19
  I know I do.
• 25:20
  How many of us should be involved in this?
• 25:23
  Just, uh, out of curiosity, because I feel like if all three of us
• 25:26
  come walking up to the door and try to get them to buy this book
• 25:29
  or tell them about listen, what.
• 25:31
  If we try to sell, um, them the metal, uh,
• 25:34
  detector, and then you need to
• 25:37
  do a demonstration
• 25:40
  in the house?
• 25:41
  Like a pretty good idea there.
• 25:43
  Yeah, I like that. I think that's
• 25:46
  great. Just looping back a little bit here. How many of us
• 25:49
  should be involved in that? Because it kind of feels like
• 25:52
  it's a one man deal. Too many salesmen kind
• 25:54
  of freaks the customer out. Maybe one of
• 25:57
  maybe, uh, Danny. I don't know if you feel good,
• 26:00
  you know that metal detector better than anybody else.
• 26:03
  Maybe you try to sell the metal detector, and then
• 26:06
  Bobby and I can go look around the
• 26:09
  outside, and maybe we can find where he's keeping the kids. Maybe he's
• 26:12
  got one of those weird, like, ice basement things
• 26:15
  s that they used to have back in the day where they kept all their big old
• 26:18
  ice cubes and stuff to make.
• 26:21
  They were, like, big ice chunks. You know what I'm talking about? Like A Little
• 26:24
  House on the Prairie. You guys seen Little House? I don't know if that's I think that came
• 26:27
  out by this point. I could be wrong.
• 26:29
  Little House on the Prairie came out.
• 26:31
  And, like all right, I suppose
• 26:34
  I could take a crack at it. So here.
• 26:36
  All right, let's do that. Um,
• 26:40
  yeah, we'll just get out. We'll go disappear into the
• 26:43
  area around it's a forest. So, I mean, it's not like there's nowhere
• 26:46
  to go. And then yeah, you do your thing.
• 26:50
  And with that, I hop out of the truck
• 26:53
  and Bobby joining me. And we go
• 26:56
  into sort of the wooded area to kind of are you.
• 26:58
  Guys like, hiding and watching him as he's going to yeah, I think.
• 27:01
  We're going to keep an eye on him until we feel confident that he's got
• 27:04
  his.
• 27:04
  I mean, it'd be nice to get a look at this guy, too.
• 27:07
  That's a good point, too. Yeah.
• 27:08
  Get a visual. Okay. So you guys go
• 27:11
  hide, and you're now in the bushes, like, kind of watching.
• 27:13
  So, uh, Denny's going to set his camera
• 27:16
  down, um, facing
• 27:19
  the truck just in
• 27:22
  case somebody runs out the back and gets
• 27:25
  in there.
• 27:26
  Okay.
• 27:27
  He's, um, going to turn it on record.
• 27:30
  Hopefully.
• 27:34
  He'S going to start his tape
• 27:37
  recorder, and he's going to walk up and knock
• 27:39
  on the front door.
• 27:44
  Hello there. Anyone home?
• 27:47
  No reply,
• 27:50
  though, being at the door,
• 27:53
  you hear music more clearly in the background.
• 27:57
  Hello.
• 27:59
  Mind if I come in?
• 28:03
  Nothing.
• 28:06
  Try the door.
• 28:07
  Handle unlocked.
• 28:10
  I look back towards you guys
• 28:14
  we're.
• 28:14
  Just giving you, like, a little hand motion.
• 28:16
  Awkward thumbs up, confused, but, like,
• 28:19
  go for it. All right.
• 28:20
  I poke my head inside.
• 28:22
  Uh, when you poke your head inside, you see a hallway
• 28:26
  that leads that's lit.
• 28:27
  It's a lit hallway.
• 28:28
  It's got, like, bright colors in it looks like you're in a
• 28:31
  club that leads down and you can see
• 28:33
  down the hallway. It looks like you see a lot of strobe lights and
• 28:36
  lights going down the hallway. And you hear that's where
• 28:39
  all the music's coming from? It's Take On Me by AHA, uh,
• 28:42
  is what it is currently playing.
• 28:44
  No. Yeah.
• 28:44
  So.
• 29:07
  So what do you do, Denny?
• 29:09
  Stick my hand back, our head back outside,
• 29:12
  and I wave, uh, those two towards the other
• 29:15
  two.
• 29:15
  Towards me.
• 29:16
  Towards you? Yeah.
• 29:17
  He doesn't want to go alone. Don't be a wimp.
• 29:20
  I guess since yeah, we didn't get the salesman angle,
• 29:23
  I guess it's the fair point to be just screw it
• 29:25
  and go in. Uh, yeah.
• 29:27
  Okay.
• 29:27
  I tiptoe really awkwardly and move up closer
• 29:30
  to him, and I say, uh, Danny, do you
• 29:33
  still got that walkie talkie I gave you the other day?
• 29:36
  Oh, yeah, you betcha.
• 29:38
  All right, perfect. Just in
• 29:41
  case we get separated again.
• 29:42
  You guys all head inside.
• 29:44
  Yes.
• 29:45
  Okay, YouTube, when you enter, you see the same
• 29:48
  thing I described Denny. You guys all walk
• 29:51
  down that hallway towards the right.
• 29:54
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 29:54
  Okay, you guys all head in. As you guys head in, you
• 29:57
  see a giant open room filled
• 30:00
  with lights and, uh, music and dancing
• 30:03
  people.
• 30:04
  People.
• 30:04
  Yes. You see
• 30:07
  123-45-6789
• 30:10
  kids dancing on the dance floor. They're all just
• 30:13
  boogieing down, getting up, and you look up. Above the kids
• 30:16
  is a glass window where you can
• 30:19
  see a man standing behind the glass window
• 30:21
  with some headphones on. He's wearing a black
• 30:24
  mask, and he's going, yeah, pump up
• 30:27
  the jam. DJ reap him in the
• 30:29
  house. And he
• 30:32
  looks down and he spots you. And your spotlight flashes
• 30:35
  onto you guys. Hey, new
• 30:38
  gas.
• 30:46
  Denny takes a picture.
• 30:51
  No flash photography, please,
• 30:55
  in the dance house.
• 30:57
  Kenny's, uh, got the police reports
• 31:00
  that he got from last night, and he just holds one of them up and
• 31:03
  kind of, like, compares the picture of the missing kid
• 31:06
  to the person, one of the people dancing in front of him.
• 31:09
  And he's like, guys, I think we just
• 31:12
  found $25,000.
• 31:14
  Also, you immediately recognized Tim? Oh, yeah, that's
• 31:17
  Tim Reddit.
• 31:18
  Oh, hey, there's Jeff's kid right there.
• 31:20
  Well, it's good to know that they're alive. Um,
• 31:23
  excuse me, Mr. DJ.
• 31:27
  What's going on here?
• 31:29
  Why, just the party of the
• 31:31
  century, of course.
• 31:36
  That's it. And he's going right back to, like, playing his DJ set, uh,
• 31:39
  on his ear.
• 31:40
  These kids should be in school there.
• 31:44
  Can we, uh, try to talk to the kids?
• 31:47
  Go right ahead.
• 31:48
  Yeah, like to try to talk to the kid nearest
• 31:51
  me.
• 31:51
  Does he say anything, or is he what'd he say?
• 31:54
  What are you doing here?
• 31:55
  He smiles and keeps dancing. Stares at you.
• 31:57
  Hey, Timmy.
• 31:59
  Timmy, tim looks over at you and he's got a big
• 32:02
  smile on his face. And he's busting down.
• 32:04
  Hey, come on over here.
• 32:05
  He comes on over to you. Side
• 32:08
  hustle, wobs the hips back and
• 32:11
  forth. And he walks over to you.
• 32:12
  Yeah, it's quite the move there.
• 32:13
  He's in the cha cha shake now right next to you.
• 32:18
  Uh, what are you doing here, Tim? Your dad's worried about
• 32:21
  you, I imagine.
• 32:23
  Gives you a big grin and just keeps on dancing
• 32:25
  while staring at you.
• 32:26
  Do these kids that have been here the longest, you
• 32:29
  mean Sally and did, how do they
• 32:32
  look? Have they wet themselves
• 32:35
  disheveled? I mean, are there bathroom breaks?
• 32:37
  Uh, so you look over at Sally. You don't
• 32:40
  actually know which one you don't know which one would
• 32:43
  be Sally. But you do recognize
• 32:46
  Sally because she unlike the
• 32:49
  other kids, tim and, uh, the other
• 32:52
  kids you tried to talk to, which was a younger
• 32:54
  girl, they look happy and fine, but then you
• 32:57
  look over a girl in the back and she's just, like,
• 33:00
  really slowly dancing. And it's like
• 33:03
  she's, like, slow dancing with herself. And she
• 33:05
  looks huge bags under her eyes. And
• 33:08
  she's just, like, falling apart in the background. And she's
• 33:11
  just like, to the side. Not in the main
• 33:14
  area. Everyone else seems pretty lively and going at it,
• 33:17
  but she's just, like, off the side with
• 33:20
  another guy kind of near her who's also kind of like, grudgingly, uh,
• 33:24
  long. And that guy looks kind of strong,
• 33:26
  athletic, but he's kind of, like, struggling to keep up with the
• 33:29
  rest of the kids. All the other kids, they're going to town. They're having a time
• 33:32
  of their life right now. The DJ's like, hey, you guys
• 33:35
  here to join the party with
• 33:37
  DJ
• 33:39
  Dennis?
• 33:40
  What? I don't even know how to describe what's going
• 33:43
  on here, but I don't know that's Sally over there.
• 33:46
  And then you got Lou and that's Carl. And
• 33:49
  then the six kids from the party. Uh, this is
• 33:52
  all the missing kids. And Sally's not looking
• 33:55
  good over there. I'm going to just say that I'm not trying to insult
• 33:57
  her. This isn't about
• 34:01
  my views of attractiveness in a person.
• 34:03
  I would hope that we're not talking about how attractive
• 34:06
  children I'm just really.
• 34:08
  Trying to emphasize the fact here that who's still stuck in I
• 34:11
  think she.
• 34:11
  Might all the pedophiles
• 34:14
  ever.
• 34:14
  She might be in some trouble over there. And
• 34:17
  these guys, they're not even talking to us. What the heck is going on
• 34:20
  here?
• 34:23
  I, uh, try to grab him and stop
• 34:26
  him from dancing.
• 34:28
  You hold him and he just kind of, like,
• 34:30
  shakes off your hold.
• 34:32
  Oh my gosh. He's having a seizure.
• 34:35
  He's, like, changed having a dance seizure. He's
• 34:38
  changed his dance. He's like he sees you. He smiles and
• 34:41
  he places his hands on your hips. And then I start
• 34:44
  trying to do a double dance. Do a
• 34:47
  little duo dance.
• 34:48
  Hey.
• 34:48
  Oh, dear, Tim. Uh, you need some chamomile
• 34:51
  tea.
• 34:53
  He smiles at you.
• 34:55
  He's hopped up on that new Coke.
• 34:58
  Yeah, this must be a drug thing, Uncle Dennis.
• 35:00
  Oh, I meant the soda pop.
• 35:04
  All those kids in their soda.
• 35:06
  Yeah, that new Coke's not great. Too
• 35:08
  sweet.
• 35:10
  I preferred the old Coke.
• 35:12
  I'm so glad they're going to bring that back. Uh,
• 35:15
  I take my walkie talkie and I
• 35:18
  turn it to that channel that's just like,
• 35:22
  uh, feedback and static
• 35:25
  because you have to hold the button to do it or something. I don't know.
• 35:28
  Maybe if you hold the two too close together or whatever, and I just put it up to
• 35:31
  one of their ears.
• 35:33
  You see them pull away from the sound you're
• 35:36
  doing. And then as you're doing
• 35:39
  that, you, uh, all of a sudden hear the
• 35:41
  music in the room starting to get louder. And you look up at
• 35:44
  the DJ and he's like, moving his hands up the panels while he's still,
• 35:47
  like, holding his stuff and going, there's no time to let
• 35:50
  the music die tonight. DJ
• 35:53
  music in the house.
• 35:55
  Guys, I don't know what's going on here, but I
• 35:58
  feel like this music is interacting with whatever
• 36:01
  drugs these kids have taken. We got to stop
• 36:04
  this music.
• 36:05
  Yeah, I can't seem to snap Tim out
• 36:08
  of it, or any of these other kids for that matter.
• 36:10
  I'm going to look around. Do I see, like, speakers?
• 36:13
  Yeah, everywhere.
• 36:14
  Oh, man, we got to start smashing speakers, guys.
• 36:18
  I wouldn't appreciate that.
• 36:19
  DJ Reaps over this music, man. He's got
• 36:22
  good hearing.
• 36:23
  I can hear all and he points at his headphones
• 36:26
  and you know what? It bumps up the music.
• 36:29
  Uh, I'm like, maybe we should
• 36:32
  step out of this room a little bit here when we talk,
• 36:36
  uh, when you.
• 36:36
  Say that, the door to the back of the room
• 36:39
  shuts. And you see Lou,
• 36:42
  the athletic kid who's looked really tired just
• 36:45
  shutting the door and putting, like, a bar
• 36:48
  over it while slowly
• 36:50
  dancing.
• 36:51
  Ah, nerds.
• 36:52
  Um, well, shoot, I was going to say that maybe you
• 36:55
  go get your bowling ball. That'd be a great
• 36:58
  smashing mechanism.
• 36:59
  Can I just start kicking one of these speakers?
• 37:02
  Yeah, go for children.
• 37:07
  I'm going to do that.
• 37:08
  Okay. Yeah, just start kicking it. And you're going to hear DJ Reapib
• 37:11
  like, hey, don't do that. That's
• 37:14
  not
• 37:16
  it.
• 37:21
  And you keep doing it. Uh, he's like,
• 37:24
  hey, you should stop that.
• 37:25
  I'm going to stop that.
• 37:27
  I like, stop that. And as he says that last
• 37:30
  line, two of the young guys walk over to you and
• 37:33
  they grab you and they start trying to pull you away
• 37:36
  from the speaker while dancing. It's like a
• 37:38
  pullaway shot.
• 37:42
  I'm going to help
• 37:44
  her get out of it. I'm going to try to wrench
• 37:47
  the arms off her.
• 37:49
  So you're doing help out? Yeah, go for help out. I think
• 37:52
  also, can you roll kick some ass for me, which
• 37:54
  is plus tough. You're going to kick some ass on
• 37:57
  that radio, on the speaker and then you're rolling.
• 38:00
  Cool.
• 38:00
  I rolled a four.
• 38:01
  Yeah, I got eight.
• 38:04
  Okay. So you get to
• 38:07
  do some damage to it, whatever
• 38:10
  kicking it. So like one damage. You do one damage to the
• 38:13
  speaker system. Actually, that one. You see some sparks after you
• 38:16
  get some good solid kicks in it. You wearing your boots, right? So you actually
• 38:19
  go to town on it. You see some sparks.
• 38:21
  I do have my steel toes.
• 38:23
  You can't tell if that one's gone bad
• 38:26
  because there's so many of them. The music is still quite loud,
• 38:29
  but you did see some sparks. So you do know you
• 38:32
  were starting to make some progress before these guys starting to drag you.
• 38:34
  Is there any wiring? Is there like a hub
• 38:37
  somewhere?
• 38:38
  Oh, yeah. No, there's some wires. So as you look around,
• 38:41
  as you're being dragged away so as you get dragged
• 38:44
  away, after you're away from the speaker and
• 38:47
  looks like you're stopped kicking it, they let go of you and
• 38:50
  they go right back to dancing. So there's
• 38:53
  that. And then you look around and you
• 38:56
  see some wires and there's like looks like the speaker system's wires
• 38:59
  all go up to the ceiling and then they all lead
• 39:01
  to, um, the glass room.
• 39:05
  You also see a door that's like, to the side of
• 39:08
  the glass room.
• 39:09
  I was just about to ask if there was any way to get up there.
• 39:11
  We could go beat the crap out of DJ
• 39:14
  repip, I suppose, and
• 39:17
  just turn it off manually up there.
• 39:20
  Let's just do that. Let's start heading for that.
• 39:22
  I'm not exactly a fighter guy. Uh, I'm more
• 39:25
  of a kid detective. But,
• 39:28
  uh, yeah. Uh, Denny,
• 39:31
  you're the adult here?
• 39:32
  Yeah. Maybe we can just are you.
• 39:38
  He'S fully immersed in the he does not see himself
• 39:40
  as the adult here. This is his uncle.
• 39:43
  He's older than him. He is a family
• 39:45
  man and therefore a man.
• 39:48
  We can, uh, rule it out that this guy can be
• 39:51
  reasoned with. So let's just go talk to him
• 39:54
  here.
• 39:54
  Yeah, he put that's a good point here. We can tell him to
• 39:57
  turn off the music.
• 39:58
  So you guys all head over to the
• 40:01
  door. Excuse me? Knocking on the window.
• 40:04
  Please turn it down. You guys walk over to the door
• 40:07
  and as you guys do, um, some of the kids who are
• 40:10
  nearby all stand and block the door from
• 40:12
  getting walked through as they're still dancing. They're like making a wall.
• 40:15
  Push these kids over.
• 40:17
  Go for it. Roll. Uh, act under pressure.
• 40:20
  This seems actually or
• 40:24
  kick some ass, honestly, whichever one seems more
• 40:27
  fitting to you.
• 40:28
  1111.
• 40:30
  Um, yeah. Do you want to just knock them all over like
• 40:33
  a bowling? Yeah, sure. They all line
• 40:36
  up, and you just go to the side of them and hip
• 40:39
  check them. And then 1234, they all just come fall
• 40:42
  into the ground. And they're like, whoa.
• 40:46
  They're, like, trying to do this weird, like, dance,
• 40:49
  but standing up at the same time. So they're trying to make it
• 40:51
  look smooth as they're trying to stand up, but no.
• 40:54
  Strike.
• 40:56
  Good one, Bobby. And you
• 40:59
  see, the door is unblocked.
• 41:00
  We rush towards the door through the.
• 41:03
  Gap, and you open it. And there's a little staircase
• 41:06
  that leads up to the left, uh, towards the.
• 41:07
  Glass room, usher those guys in. And
• 41:10
  I close the door behind us.
• 41:12
  Nice.
• 41:12
  And you hear hands trying to open the door behind
• 41:15
  you. Do you hold it or hold the door or
• 41:18
  lock?
• 41:18
  Hold door.
• 41:19
  Yeah, hold it and then lock it.
• 41:21
  And then you let go. And the locks holding as
• 41:24
  you two run up the stairs.
• 41:26
  Yes.
• 41:26
  A woman steps out.
• 41:28
  Holy crap.
• 41:29
  Holds her hand out, and she ah. Uh,
• 41:32
  I'm gonna stop you right there.
• 41:34
  Who exactly are you?
• 41:36
  My name's Penny.
• 41:38
  Nice to meet you, Penny.
• 41:38
  I'm the Co DJ. I actually
• 41:41
  own this place. And I need you
• 41:44
  guys to leave and
• 41:47
  allow, uh, me and DJ Reed Pip over there to
• 41:50
  continue with tonight's performance.
• 41:52
  How about a counteroffer? You turn
• 41:55
  off the music and you let these kids go home.
• 41:58
  How about a counter? Counteroffer. You leave
• 42:01
  now. Alive.
• 42:03
  Can I push her?
• 42:05
  Go for it.
• 42:07
  Maybe down the stairs. She's in front of
• 42:10
  you on the pull her down.
• 42:12
  That makes more sense.
• 42:14
  Eight.
• 42:15
  You and whoever you're harming inflict harm on each other. The
• 42:18
  amount of harm is based on whatever your damage is.
• 42:21
  Both go down the stairs.
• 42:22
  You both go down the stairs.
• 42:25
  That gives me an opportunity. You can go up on
• 42:28
  running.
• 42:29
  Yeah. But you need to roll under act
• 42:32
  under pressure to make sure you don't get taken out by the two
• 42:34
  ladies rolling down the stairs in front of you.
• 42:38
  It's a very narrow chance.
• 42:40
  Don't ruin your chance.
• 42:41
  Don't blow it. You blew it.
• 42:44
  That's like a three.
• 42:47
  Yeah.
• 42:47
  No, you definitely got taken out with this. Uh,
• 42:51
  maybe you can fall down the stairs.
• 42:54
  Dennis looks over as this new lady
• 42:57
  has shown up with the two people on
• 43:00
  top. She's on top of two of your friends. And you're like, oh,
• 43:03
  what's going on here? And she stands up
• 43:06
  and rises and goes, that's it, mama's. Uh, got to
• 43:09
  do what mama's got to do. And she
• 43:12
  flashes her fingers.
• 43:13
  Oh, I was worried what you were going to say.
• 43:15
  Sorry.
• 43:15
  No.
• 43:17
  She shows her fingers, and as she.
• 43:19
  Does, she's doing jazz hands.
• 43:21
  Giant claws come out of her hand.
• 43:23
  Holy crap, she's got giant
• 43:26
  it's curl a thousand plans.
• 43:29
  And she says, I can't. And she points a
• 43:31
  really long nail at you guys. Goes I can't let
• 43:34
  you live. I've got business to
• 43:37
  do here, and you guys are in a fight.
• 43:40
  Can we break her nails?
• 43:45
  I reach in my pocket. In my
• 43:48
  stressed situation, there's one specific thing that
• 43:51
  calms me down, and that is a
• 43:53
  Cougle Cracker. And so I
• 43:56
  pop a Cougle Cracker into my mouth
• 43:59
  and chew it and swallow. That was
• 44:01
  weirdly descriptive. But the key
• 44:04
  thing is that that's my Power Snack.
• 44:07
  And whenever, uh, I take a moment to eat
• 44:10
  and enjoy my Power Snack, I get plus one forward,
• 44:13
  and I desperately need it.
• 44:15
  So you're underneath this dog pile here? Well, she got
• 44:18
  up. She got up. Yeah, but you still yeah, Bobby,
• 44:21
  uh.
• 44:21
  And I are pulling each other off.
• 44:22
  Of each other, and you're just, like, sneaking a
• 44:25
  man.
• 44:26
  I really need a Cougle Cracker right now.
• 44:29
  Dude, do you have diabetes?
• 44:31
  I have hypoglycemia.
• 44:35
  You'll hear about it when
• 44:37
  Google crackers before.
• 44:40
  It's supposed to be like Scooby Doo.
• 44:42
  Yeah, I get it. Anyways, you pop the Cougle Cracker
• 44:45
  and you go puppy pout. Noah
• 44:48
  okay.
• 44:49
  Uh, gotta recenter myself. Okay. She's
• 44:52
  got claws.
• 44:53
  What the hell you're doing?
• 44:55
  Like, a nerdy
• 44:58
  kid version of, like, the Sherlock Holmes thing where
• 45:01
  he, like, plans out.
• 45:02
  Oh, yeah.
• 45:03
  If I strike her in the ribs, it's going to cause
• 45:06
  three, uh, pristine fractures.
• 45:09
  Three months to unlike Sherlock Holmes, where he
• 45:12
  follows through with the attack. He just thinks them through
• 45:15
  and then goes, man, kids.
• 45:21
  So, Bobby, what do you do?
• 45:24
  What can I do something to you?
• 45:26
  I offer her a Kugoo cracker.
• 45:28
  Okay. It's not going to help her,
• 45:32
  but.
• 45:34
  I want to try to, like, sweep her legs.
• 45:37
  Sure, go for it. Kick, uh, some ass again.
• 45:40
  Not really much you can do here. I
• 45:43
  got seven lands again, but
• 45:46
  she falls right on top of you again.
• 45:48
  All right, you guys, make it count.
• 45:50
  You both take one damage.
• 45:52
  Okay.
• 45:53
  What are you doing there?
• 45:54
  I'm going to say a lady. Say
• 45:57
  cheese. And I flash her with my
• 46:00
  Polaroid camera. Helping out Kenny
• 46:03
  with a help out action.
• 46:05
  Yeah, roll for that seven.
• 46:07
  And there's enough help grandson plus one.
• 46:10
  To their role, but also expose yourself
• 46:13
  to trouble or danger.
• 46:14
  Uhoh, she skits
• 46:17
  flashed. And as she does, she
• 46:19
  waves her hand out in front of you
• 46:22
  and, uh, to kind of hit away at the thing. And
• 46:25
  she hits the camera with her extended claw, and it goes
• 46:28
  flying into the wall.
• 46:31
  Oh, no, I didn't buy the
• 46:33
  warranty.
• 46:36
  But this is the Polaroid, though, not the
• 46:38
  JVC.
• 46:39
  Yeah. Okay, well, thank goodness.
• 46:41
  JVC. I left.
• 46:45
  Recording a truck.
• 46:47
  That's all happening inside. It's just recording a
• 46:50
  truck.
• 46:52
  Distant. Rick Ashley is
• 46:55
  playing uh, mind you, that is what's currently
• 46:58
  playing right now. It's Never going to Give you up by Rick ashley
• 47:00
  that's awesome.
• 47:01
  I am going to take a risky chance
• 47:04
  now that she's kind of, like, out of sorts, I'm going to
• 47:07
  do something that my
• 47:10
  character would only do in a hard, intense, anxiety
• 47:13
  driven situation where his friends are being attacked
• 47:16
  or family, I guess. Friends and family. Is he's going to take
• 47:19
  his flashlight and trade a whopper on the head? The
• 47:22
  back of the head.
• 47:23
  Hard as he possibly go for it. Yeah. In
• 47:26
  hopes that he can get plus two forward on this.
• 47:28
  I have plus one and a, um, minus one of tough.
• 47:31
  You have plus one from oh, and I got a plus one from him.
• 47:34
  So I do have a plus one at the end of the day.
• 47:36
  Nine.
• 47:37
  Yeah. I didn't mention at the start, but I was going to give each of you one
• 47:39
  luck for this adventure.
• 47:41
  Then I'm not going to use my luck right now.
• 47:43
  Yeah, just one luck for this adventure. Got it. That actually makes sense.
• 47:46
  It's basically you make any roll of ten.
• 47:48
  Okay. I will not use my luck. I
• 47:51
  will just deal the one damage I believe it is, and of
• 47:54
  course, I'm going to take a damage.
• 47:55
  Oh, yeah. No, you bonk her in the head. But again,
• 47:58
  you guys are still in this very narrow hallway. And
• 48:01
  as she gets bonked, she moves her hand up
• 48:04
  to go for her head, and she slashes you through the
• 48:07
  chest for two damage,
• 48:11
  and you kind of pull back and you're, like, holding your
• 48:13
  stomach. Oh, gosh.
• 48:15
  My last Jedi t shirt.
• 48:18
  It's all torn up and bloody.
• 48:20
  We'll go back in the order to bobby, what are you
• 48:23
  doing in this contained situation? It's a very
• 48:26
  weird fight where we're in a very tiny
• 48:29
  hallway with this lady
• 48:32
  slashing about with her long claws.
• 48:35
  Also, as she's fighting, uh,
• 48:38
  she is slowly becoming
• 48:41
  a werewolf. Her woman persona, her
• 48:44
  woman like features of a human are starting to fade
• 48:47
  away, and her face is starting to become more
• 48:50
  narrow, and her back is starting
• 48:53
  to like her back is starting to form like little
• 48:56
  mini wings behind it.
• 48:59
  I don't know what to do. I don't roll.
• 49:02
  Good.
• 49:03
  Do whatever you want. Any of us have really rolled.
• 49:05
  Well, if you haven't noticed, I don't think
• 49:08
  this party has no fighters.
• 49:11
  Bunch of sleuths. No.
• 49:13
  I want to take you back to basics. Can I just punch your
• 49:16
  in the face?
• 49:17
  Yeah, just punch her right in the face.
• 49:20
  Yeah. Looking for this? Nice, solid connection.
• 49:26
  6789.
• 49:29
  Okay, that's good. You get a nice, solid punch right in the
• 49:32
  face. Does damage to her, and
• 49:36
  she, um, responds back by just straight up
• 49:38
  kicking you right in the chest. And you go
• 49:41
  flying back into the wall and, like, coke cower into the
• 49:44
  ground. You're like, oh, that hurts.
• 49:47
  And you take two damage. Nice, solid connection.
• 49:50
  Guys, we're gonna die.
• 49:51
  Honestly, uh, I look over at Danny and I say, danny
• 49:54
  Danny. And I'm clutching the door that we came in,
• 49:57
  uh, that has the people wait, did you bar it no, I
• 49:59
  just locked just locked it. I'm like I hold the
• 50:02
  knob so I'm, like, ready to unlock it. I'm like,
• 50:05
  Danny, push her through the.
• 50:06
  Oh, that's just what I was thinking.
• 50:08
  And which way does it open out? Oof.
• 50:11
  Okay. I gotta really push on this one.
• 50:13
  For this help, because there's currently some people trying to get
• 50:16
  in. Step back. I'm trying to let you
• 50:19
  in.
• 50:21
  I
• 50:26
  wouldn't you think they're going to respond? They responded
• 50:29
  once tonight.
• 50:30
  I'm just imagining this as a help out. I don't know if that's what
• 50:32
  you.
• 50:33
  Who'S opening the door? I'm opening the door, and then he's going
• 50:36
  to push her.
• 50:36
  Yeah.
• 50:37
  Okay.
• 50:38
  And then I'll have to close the door as well.
• 50:39
  I think you're going to need act under pressure.
• 50:41
  Okay.
• 50:41
  That's the same thing. Yeah, that's totally fine.
• 50:44
  Well, I do have a plus one because of my snack. Yes, that's
• 50:47
  seven, but then it would just bring it right back down to a six.
• 50:50
  Um, unless does
• 50:53
  his plus one still apply?
• 50:55
  Sure.
• 50:55
  Okay.
• 50:56
  She's still blind. She got blinded, and then
• 50:59
  she got hit in the top of her head and then punched in the face. She is very
• 51:02
  much well, that only.
• 51:03
  Puts me at a seven.
• 51:04
  She's just flailing around this.
• 51:06
  I'm going to have a choice down.
• 51:07
  I'm going to give you a hard choice here.
• 51:08
  All right.
• 51:08
  So you're going to have to push this door, and you're going to have to push it really hard, because
• 51:11
  as you go to open it, you feel the bodies of
• 51:14
  the other people on the other side of trying to open it. So
• 51:17
  you think, oh, jeez. If I want to get this
• 51:20
  door open, I'm going to have to just ram into it.
• 51:23
  Okay.
• 51:23
  And because of that, not only will I be out there on the
• 51:26
  outside of the door with her, but I'm also
• 51:29
  going to take a damage because I'm going to have to ram this as hard as I can with
• 51:32
  my shoulder.
• 51:32
  That's fine.
• 51:33
  So you're willing to do that?
• 51:34
  I'm willing to do that.
• 51:35
  Okay. So you bust down the door, shoulder
• 51:38
  first into it. It goes flying open. The four people are
• 51:41
  trying to get into the door. Odo. Sprawling backwards, and they all fall
• 51:44
  over on top of each other, and they're like a dancing mess
• 51:47
  on top of each other. And then you
• 51:50
  are holding onto the door and sliding to the
• 51:53
  outside, and you're just, like, holding the side of the door and kind of
• 51:56
  fall to the ground right next to it, holding your shoulder.
• 51:58
  Push her out.
• 52:00
  Denny grabs this creature
• 52:03
  like a log at the lumber mill
• 52:07
  and heaves her towards the door.
• 52:10
  Okay, that is definitely going to be some, uh kick some
• 52:12
  ass. You are seeing how much you can
• 52:15
  teach here. Oh, my.
• 52:18
  There we go.
• 52:19
  Finally, the good roll.
• 52:23
  Dad strength just showed up there. Oh, no, it's
• 52:26
  eleven. Uh, eleven. That's still good. That's still
• 52:29
  ten plus. So you get to do the normal effect, which
• 52:31
  in this case is throwing her out the but you get to add an
• 52:34
  extra effect. What do you want to add to it?
• 52:37
  Um, so I do what?
• 52:40
  Choose one extra effect?
• 52:41
  Yeah, it's one of those
• 52:44
  I want.
• 52:45
  To force them where I want.
• 52:47
  Perfect.
• 52:47
  Which is on top of all of.
• 52:49
  The you really gave a good
• 52:52
  throw.
• 52:52
  She, like, rolls like a log
• 52:55
  right on top.
• 52:56
  Bowl strike.
• 53:00
  Dinny always gets the spare.
• 53:02
  There you go. And then you roll. She falls
• 53:05
  onto the pile and she goes as she does
• 53:08
  that, uh, she does slash at you as you're holding
• 53:11
  it. She like, slashes you as you finish the throw. And you take two
• 53:14
  damage as, like, her claws go ripping into your arm as
• 53:17
  you release her. But through the pain, you still finish the
• 53:19
  throw and she goes rolling out the door.
• 53:22
  Bobby, what do you, um
• 53:25
  I'll I'll.
• 53:26
  Help Kenny get back
• 53:29
  in.
• 53:29
  So you're gonna quickly run out, help him up, and then bring him back
• 53:32
  in?
• 53:32
  Yeah.
• 53:33
  Okay, you do that. I don't think you really need a roll. You just go
• 53:36
  ahead and grab him and you guys shut the door behind you and lock it.
• 53:39
  One of you going to hold it.
• 53:42
  Uh, I can't okay, you're going
• 53:45
  to hold it.
• 53:45
  Okay. You're going to hold it and you're going to hear slash. You're going to
• 53:48
  hear the people trying to get it, but you're mostly going to hear the
• 53:51
  lady screeching, like, let me
• 53:54
  in. You're going to hear, like, claws. And you're seeing, why would
• 53:57
  we do that? Her claws starting to rip into the
• 54:00
  door and going through the door. And you're like, having to hold
• 54:03
  it while ducking away from it, like the
• 54:06
  claws that are slashing through.
• 54:07
  Okay, well, you guys should hurry.
• 54:09
  You two, what are you doing?
• 54:12
  All right, let's get up there. Come on, Kenny.
• 54:14
  I grab Kenny, like, give him a steady hand
• 54:17
  as we run up the stairs.
• 54:18
  Gotta stop this guy. We
• 54:21
  gotta save these kids. We go running up to the is
• 54:24
  there another door or no.
• 54:26
  DJ repip's right there.
• 54:27
  He's just, like, straight accident.
• 54:28
  He's just, like, turned sideways to you guys as he's, like,
• 54:31
  controlling his DJ booth. And he's just like,
• 54:34
  hey, stop right there. DJ
• 54:36
  Reap says, so.
• 54:41
  I don't think so. Uh,
• 54:44
  as we come up the stairs rushing
• 54:47
  towards him.
• 54:48
  And then he takes a fighting stance.
• 54:50
  Oh, boy.
• 54:51
  And he goes, oh, I've been practicing for
• 54:54
  this. DJ reef knows
• 54:56
  karate. He, like, leans
• 54:59
  over to the mic and repeats
• 55:03
  out.
• 55:03
  I look over at Denny and I just give him a
• 55:06
  fast nod, like, you get him. And I pull out my
• 55:09
  flashlight and I just flick it on right in DJ's
• 55:12
  face.
• 55:12
  Yeah. Blind accent.
• 55:13
  Uh, I want to read a bad situation.
• 55:15
  Roll.
• 55:18
  Nine.
• 55:20
  You, uh, could ask one of the questions there.
• 55:25
  Um, so I'm looking at the control board.
• 55:28
  I want to see what's most vulnerable to
• 55:30
  me.
• 55:31
  It's,
• 55:36
  uh, plugged in by a single cord.
• 55:39
  Oh.
• 55:43
  But it's like but it's like cleverly master
• 55:45
  cable. It's like cleverly disguised behind
• 55:48
  him. It's just like little to the side, like it's
• 55:51
  underneath a power strip, like one of those trip
• 55:53
  protectors. But it then goes weaves into the back
• 55:56
  wall where there's a single outlet it's plugged into.
• 56:00
  Okay.
• 56:01
  It's a really strong outlet.
• 56:03
  Oh.
• 56:04
  You know it well.
• 56:06
  And to be fair, the speakers can.
• 56:09
  All be plugged into other outlets. Huh.
• 56:11
  But they can't play music. If the thing that plays the music.
• 56:14
  To be fair yeah. That just works for the DJ box.
• 56:17
  I say, kenny, catch.
• 56:20
  Take this.
• 56:22
  I'm standing right next to yeah.
• 56:24
  So actually, I reach into my back pocket. I
• 56:27
  say, Kenny, take this
• 56:29
  and cut the cord. And I hand him
• 56:32
  my multi tool.
• 56:36
  All right? Kenny takes it in his hand. He's like, you
• 56:39
  got it, Uncle Dennis.
• 56:40
  So what are you going to do, Uncle Dennis?
• 56:43
  Flips out the serrated knife.
• 56:45
  Oh, okay, Uncle Dennis.
• 56:47
  I, uh, reach into my case
• 56:50
  and pull my jacket and pull out this
• 56:53
  case, pop it open,
• 56:56
  and pull out two OD, uh,
• 56:59
  looking rods, which are actually
• 57:02
  not a weapon, but they are my dousing
• 57:04
  rods.
• 57:07
  Oh, my word.
• 57:11
  Are you just going to go wildly swinging?
• 57:13
  Uh,
• 57:16
  they're like L shaped metal pieces.
• 57:18
  So I kind of take them.
• 57:22
  They're just, like,
• 57:24
  gripped, like, in a stabbing position.
• 57:27
  Oh, my word.
• 57:29
  I say, let's get groovy.
• 57:33
  And he says, Right back at you.
• 57:35
  Uh, and then you guys start going at each
• 57:38
  other. I need you to roll some kick some ass, and I
• 57:41
  need you to roll act under pressure there, Kenny.
• 57:46
  There we go.
• 57:48
  Hey, finally, you guys go, look, I got a
• 57:51
  nine.
• 57:51
  Great roll there.
• 57:52
  I got a ten.
• 57:55
  Perfect. I wasn't making that up.
• 57:57
  I just had to do the math in my head.
• 57:58
  Uh, so first off, we're going to wait. I got an eleven. Technically, we're going to start with
• 58:01
  Dennis six plus five. Dennis, you just go straight
• 58:04
  at him and you just start whacking him away. I'm assuming the
• 58:07
  damage number low. It's like one,
• 58:10
  right?
• 58:11
  I mean, technically it's nothing because they're not actually
• 58:14
  weapons.
• 58:16
  Yep. We'll do one in this case because DJ
• 58:18
  Repip's not like Monterey. He's literally just a human.
• 58:21
  So he does take damage, but you take some
• 58:24
  damage back because
• 58:27
  he's bigger dude. He is a big, burly dude. So he
• 58:30
  just starts full up walloping you, and you're just taking a couple
• 58:33
  of jabs of stuff. You take two harm to your
• 58:36
  ribs, but you're just like
• 58:38
  buying time, because as you do, you see out
• 58:41
  the corner of your eye, your nephew go running by, and he just
• 58:44
  goes just quick.
• 58:48
  Slice.
• 58:49
  And as he does, immediately all the
• 58:52
  music goes, what song was you said wasn't, uh, it rick
• 58:54
  Gasly is never going to give you, never going to give
• 58:57
  you, never going to watch you.
• 59:02
  And then all the music stops.
• 59:06
  Oh, crap. Does that turn off the lights too? No.
• 59:08
  Okay. Just controls the music. And
• 59:11
  you guys see, uh,
• 59:14
  uh, DJ Repip, who's now got you in a
• 59:17
  chokehold, mind you, he's holding you. And then he just
• 59:20
  stops and looks down at
• 59:23
  you and goes, oh, whoa, sorry, dude. And he
• 59:26
  releases his arm from you and releases the
• 59:29
  chokehold. He says, whoa, what's
• 59:31
  happening? Uh,
• 59:34
  and as that happens, the door you're holding
• 59:37
  breaks down as this lady
• 59:40
  pushes through and finally pushes through. And you go
• 59:42
  scrambling up the stairs, uh,
• 59:46
  with these guys. And this lady comes running out. By this
• 59:49
  point, she's just full, unchanged, and she's got full on
• 59:52
  wings, claws, and her face has become beak
• 59:54
  like. And she's like, you'll pay for
• 59:57
  this. My mission, my goal,
• 1:00:00
  my I
• 1:00:02
  kenny.
• 1:00:03
  Turns to look at her holding this multi tool in
• 1:00:06
  one hand and his flashlight in the other. And he
• 1:00:09
  says, no, we're getting paid
• 1:00:12
  for this.
• 1:00:15
  Shines the light directly into her eyes.
• 1:00:18
  I don't know.
• 1:00:18
  For some reason he thinks that works and hopes that it
• 1:00:21
  blinds her. And then the other two can actually
• 1:00:24
  do something.
• 1:00:25
  Okay. Yes.
• 1:00:26
  Roll.
• 1:00:26
  Help out.
• 1:00:27
  I guess the key thing was his special.
• 1:00:30
  Oh, that's not bad.
• 1:00:31
  And then are you two going to fight her?
• 1:00:32
  Um, I have a gun.
• 1:00:35
  I was going to say I have.
• 1:00:36
  Been thinking about that as the person that helped you make that character this
• 1:00:39
  entire freaking time. Like you went to go smash the speakers.
• 1:00:42
  And I'm thinking to myself, she's got a baseball bat.
• 1:00:46
  Oh, that too. But that's probably in the truck. Honestly,
• 1:00:48
  that's probably in the truck. She's got a knife.
• 1:00:51
  That doesn't really help. I guess when you mentioned the cables, it's like, oh yeah, you have
• 1:00:54
  a knife that could work. And then nothing happened there. And then this entire
• 1:00:57
  time when we've been fighting, I'm like, she has a gun.
• 1:01:00
  I know, but to be fair, in that hallway,
• 1:01:02
  that gun would have been a poor choice because there's a lot of
• 1:01:05
  close quarters combat. But right here, it's very
• 1:01:08
  clear. She's standing there wide open. And
• 1:01:11
  did you I got a seven. Okay.
• 1:01:14
  My cough cracker is literally just negating. It
• 1:01:17
  provides you plus one. But because you stuck out your hand
• 1:01:20
  to flash blind her, she again does the, uh, instinct
• 1:01:22
  thing, swipes at it and hits it out of your hand,
• 1:01:25
  causing it to fly into the wall, breaking it. And also your
• 1:01:28
  hand takes one damage. But
• 1:01:31
  now you pull out the gun.
• 1:01:32
  I have a gun.
• 1:01:36
  I'm going to try to shoot her.
• 1:01:37
  Okay, go for it.
• 1:01:38
  So what do I have to do?
• 1:01:39
  You're going to roll, kick some ass, and you get a plus one. Because she's
• 1:01:42
  blinded.
• 1:01:42
  She comes charging at us.
• 1:01:46
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:01:48
  And you have a plus one on.
• 1:01:50
  That for that one. Kick
• 1:01:52
  some ass is which one tough. I got
• 1:01:55
  a plus two.
• 1:01:56
  Yeah. And then plus one. Huh? She rolled an
• 1:01:59
  1114.
• 1:02:01
  Technically, the machine gives look at
• 1:02:04
  ten plus you got to add an effect. So on top of what
• 1:02:07
  your gun does, you get to add
• 1:02:10
  on the, uh oh.
• 1:02:12
  So the advanced only gets used if.
• 1:02:15
  You level that up? Yeah, if you level that up. So how
• 1:02:17
  much damage does your gun do?
• 1:02:19
  Two.
• 1:02:20
  So you add an effect. What effect do you want to add?
• 1:02:22
  You inflict terrible harm.
• 1:02:24
  Okay, so what's that do?
• 1:02:25
  Plus one harm.
• 1:02:26
  Okay, so you're doing three damage.
• 1:02:28
  Woohoo.
• 1:02:30
  Okay. Um, she looks bad out
• 1:02:32
  of place, but
• 1:02:35
  she's blinded. She can't really respond, but she hears the
• 1:02:38
  fire of a gun. She sees like a second light flash in front
• 1:02:41
  of her and then feels and she just like, double like it
• 1:02:44
  sweeps both her arms down and sends your gun falling
• 1:02:47
  to the ground as she swipes your arm. You take one
• 1:02:50
  damage as well as your arm gets ripped apart
• 1:02:52
  by these outstretched claws. And then we
• 1:02:55
  go to Dennis.
• 1:02:57
  All ah. Right.
• 1:02:57
  Dennis is on his feet now
• 1:03:00
  after being almost choked out by
• 1:03:03
  DJ repip.
• 1:03:05
  I am unstable, gentlemen.
• 1:03:08
  Yeah, that means you're bleeding out. Uh, I think I might be, too.
• 1:03:11
  I think all of you are. I'm doing all right. Hey,
• 1:03:14
  there you go.
• 1:03:14
  Well, it's on you.
• 1:03:16
  I mean, I'm dying, but I still got
• 1:03:19
  some marks left.
• 1:03:21
  Is it even worth the money at this point?
• 1:03:23
  Yes.
• 1:03:23
  Um, so he's dropped.
• 1:03:27
  I think it's funny, though. It's not about the helping the kids. It's
• 1:03:30
  all about the money for you guys.
• 1:03:33
  His dowsing rods have fallen to the
• 1:03:36
  ground somewhere in the scuffle. Maybe one still lodged
• 1:03:38
  in the back of that guy. He
• 1:03:41
  reaches around to his back and grasps
• 1:03:44
  his camera. Zooms in on
• 1:03:47
  his candy apple red
• 1:03:50
  coin computer. You see the mark
• 1:03:53
  one, uh,
• 1:03:55
  Ltd on the side
• 1:03:58
  of his metal detector.
• 1:04:00
  And he grasped it like a baseball bat
• 1:04:03
  with the handle at the base.
• 1:04:06
  Um, oh, no,
• 1:04:08
  says, oh, this will
• 1:04:11
  leave a mark.
• 1:04:16
  A step one, two to the
• 1:04:19
  left. One, two to the right.
• 1:04:22
  Three steps forward, one step back.
• 1:04:25
  A little chacha. And
• 1:04:28
  with a swing on his hips, he winds up
• 1:04:31
  and gives like an upper cut nice.
• 1:04:34
  Right to her chin.
• 1:04:36
  Nice.
• 1:04:36
  And she's going to try to kick some ass.
• 1:04:41
  And he got
• 1:04:44
  his help at um all yes.
• 1:04:46
  She's still blinded, so plus one.
• 1:04:48
  Okay, that's going to be a nine, uh, just
• 1:04:51
  short. Unless
• 1:04:54
  oh, yeah, her luck.
• 1:04:55
  I'm going to use my luck.
• 1:04:58
  I mean, it's very fitting here. I would definitely give, like,
• 1:05:01
  inspiration for this. Yeah, you give all this wind up. You give the
• 1:05:04
  perfect bowl
• 1:05:08
  sacrificing your, um, metal detector, and
• 1:05:11
  you whack her in the chin and she just
• 1:05:14
  solid. You see a stream of blood come out as she just
• 1:05:17
  saw the connection. And you see her sprawl like arms
• 1:05:20
  waving in the air as she steps back. One, two
• 1:05:23
  as she's losing her balance and then falls down the stairs.
• 1:05:25
  And you just hear right
• 1:05:28
  into the back of the wall, and her head just
• 1:05:31
  slunks down, and
• 1:05:34
  she's presumably knocked out or
• 1:05:37
  dead.
• 1:05:37
  Are we going to finish her off? What are you doing?
• 1:05:40
  I approach this downed
• 1:05:42
  creature, and I grab
• 1:05:46
  does she have hair? Yes. Okay.
• 1:05:48
  It's more feathers at this point.
• 1:05:49
  Uh, okay. Well, I grab a handful of these
• 1:05:51
  feathers, and I say,
• 1:05:55
  well, I think we all can
• 1:05:58
  agree that the supernatural doesn't
• 1:06:01
  exist. The reality
• 1:06:03
  behind this monster is that she's
• 1:06:06
  actually and I'm going to use my move
• 1:06:09
  unmasked, which is
• 1:06:11
  that, uh, when you have a monster
• 1:06:14
  captured or at bay, you may explain it's not a
• 1:06:17
  monster after all, but a specific person in
• 1:06:20
  a mask. You must explain the real reason for all the
• 1:06:23
  seemingly supernatural events that you have seen
• 1:06:26
  and how the villain was behind them. Uh, and
• 1:06:28
  then I roll for Sharp. I'm just going to tell you right now, I'm
• 1:06:31
  just going to use my luck.
• 1:06:33
  Yeah, I kind of feel that's what you're going to do.
• 1:06:35
  You're not going to roll just for funsies.
• 1:06:37
  I mean, what's the point if you.
• 1:06:40
  Really desperately that's not bad.
• 1:06:41
  Oh, that's actually not terrible, but not.
• 1:06:43
  As good as it and I was.
• 1:06:44
  Going to give him plus one
• 1:06:46
  ongoing.
• 1:06:48
  Because you got the plus one. It technically would have worked.
• 1:06:51
  There you go. There you go. Why not
• 1:06:54
  funny? Because I knew you had that ability, and I prepared it
• 1:06:57
  for it, but not for this character. I prepared it for, uh,
• 1:07:00
  DJ Repep.
• 1:07:01
  Oh, that's fine. I can go up to him who.
• 1:07:02
  Has a mask as well.
• 1:07:06
  I was fully prepared for DJ Repept, but it
• 1:07:09
  does make sense for her because she is more supernatural than
• 1:07:12
  him.
• 1:07:12
  But, I mean, I can leave that. I can go for the other thing.
• 1:07:15
  And we can just reset from no, just go. All
• 1:07:17
  right. You, uh, clearly had a person in mind,
• 1:07:20
  so who was it? You have
• 1:07:22
  to explain it.
• 1:07:25
  I'm here on the edge of my seat, too.
• 1:07:27
  I say all of this was an
• 1:07:30
  adult beverage induced trip.
• 1:07:33
  They've been using some sort of strange
• 1:07:36
  drug like chemicals, probably from the
• 1:07:39
  forest that we live right next to. And there's
• 1:07:41
  only one person that we know that has
• 1:07:44
  access and knowledge of everything that happens in
• 1:07:47
  this forest and everything inside of it.
• 1:07:50
  And that is and as I pull back the mask, I
• 1:07:53
  say, Bigfoot.
• 1:07:58
  Is he not a mythical.
• 1:08:01
  He is a local fauna that
• 1:08:04
  we all know and love.
• 1:08:06
  But he's obviously had a misguided
• 1:08:08
  attempt.
• 1:08:11
  I don't want to step on some toes here
• 1:08:14
  and be like, it's not Bigfoot, actually.
• 1:08:16
  No. You know, it's funny because as
• 1:08:19
  you're doing this, I realized, oh, I know the perfect person that
• 1:08:22
  this would be. And then you said bigfoot. I went, oh,
• 1:08:25
  that's nowhere where I was thinking this is.
• 1:08:27
  Here's the thing. The, uh, luck and me spending it and everything, I
• 1:08:30
  mean, I can say what I say about this ability is
• 1:08:33
  that that, um, was really just me
• 1:08:36
  spending my resources to do the whole bit.
• 1:08:38
  But if it turns out that
• 1:08:42
  there's a second mask no, there's a
• 1:08:44
  mask. She's not a mask, but rather
• 1:08:47
  it's a real person.
• 1:08:49
  Okay? So I take the mask off and underneath there's a
• 1:08:51
  Sasquatch mask. And I'm like, nailed it. And
• 1:08:54
  then the Sasquatch mask, which has been completely
• 1:08:56
  disrupted from me pulling the mask that was on it
• 1:08:59
  off, falls off.
• 1:09:02
  And the reality is and, uh, Kenny.
• 1:09:04
  Uh, has no idea who it is.
• 1:09:06
  This was a win for him.
• 1:09:07
  You have actually no idea who it is?
• 1:09:09
  No, I don't.
• 1:09:10
  Um, it's the the chick from the
• 1:09:13
  city hall.
• 1:09:14
  It's the gym. No, it is someone
• 1:09:17
  you don't recognize.
• 1:09:18
  Actually, I don't recognize this person until.
• 1:09:21
  You so I'm completely you rip off the second mask. And
• 1:09:24
  it's a woman.
• 1:09:26
  And mind you, all the kids have stopped
• 1:09:29
  dancing. And they've been watching this fight, and they're all looking through the
• 1:09:32
  door with horror. And as you see this woman, like,
• 1:09:35
  bent over dead. She's not breathing anymore. You
• 1:09:38
  hear one of the kids yell, mom.
• 1:09:41
  And they go running over. And it is
• 1:09:44
  Tony McCook running over.
• 1:09:46
  And he looks over, and then beside you,
• 1:09:49
  DJ Rip PIPP rips off his mask. And he
• 1:09:52
  goes, Taylor. And he goes running down
• 1:09:55
  and he's Bill McCook. And
• 1:09:58
  these were the McCooks all along.
• 1:10:01
  They never left town. And I say they were just
• 1:10:04
  disguised this whole time.
• 1:10:06
  What's going on here? Why would you guys do this to
• 1:10:09
  your own kids?
• 1:10:10
  I didn't do this.
• 1:10:10
  I got bamboozled.
• 1:10:14
  Bill McCook turns around, goes, she
• 1:10:17
  brainwashed me. I don't know how she was doing
• 1:10:20
  it.
• 1:10:20
  And why the heck would she do it? Also, is she
• 1:10:23
  dead?
• 1:10:24
  I think so. We need a call. Where's the
• 1:10:27
  phone?
• 1:10:28
  Yeah. Ah. We need a, uh crap.
• 1:10:30
  Uh, guys, you're bleeding out. She's bleeding
• 1:10:32
  out. He's bleeding out. I'm
• 1:10:35
  bleeding. We got to go. We got to go, guys.
• 1:10:38
  Over the course of the next hour or so, and he's
• 1:10:41
  going to pick.
• 1:10:42
  Up his wife and start carrying out to his
• 1:10:45
  truck in the front. And then all the kids are like,
• 1:10:48
  with you guys? He goes running away and his kid
• 1:10:51
  goes with them. Um, you guys are all just left
• 1:10:54
  here bleeding out with these kids? What are you guys going to
• 1:10:57
  do here?
• 1:10:58
  I would like to lead them off a cliff.
• 1:10:59
  No, wait. What an
• 1:11:02
  ending.
• 1:11:03
  Uh, we put them in the bed of my truck and
• 1:11:05
  we drive to the police station.
• 1:11:07
  There's one thing we know.
• 1:11:08
  So we can get our money.
• 1:11:10
  North Dakota. Yeah, we'll do a clean wrap on
• 1:11:13
  this. You guys
• 1:11:16
  get these kids, you guide them to the truck. And good thing you
• 1:11:19
  have a truck bed, because all of them fit back there. Uh, some
• 1:11:22
  of them aren't the best. So you, uh, Dennis, help Sally
• 1:11:25
  out to the car. Who's really struggling right now. You mostly
• 1:11:28
  are carrying her out to the car, but you're not doing too well, too.
• 1:11:31
  But it's that dad strength coming through. You don't
• 1:11:34
  care about your own safety. You care about her right now. You guys
• 1:11:37
  get her out to the truck. You always hop in. You guys head down the police station.
• 1:11:40
  But first, you don't head to the police station. You head to the
• 1:11:43
  hospital. Because not only are you guys in bad shape, but these
• 1:11:46
  kids are in pretty poor shape, too. Go to the
• 1:11:48
  hospital. You tell them to
• 1:11:51
  tell the cops as you show up there, their parents will show up. They're
• 1:11:54
  all happy. Thank you. You guys get that $25,000
• 1:11:56
  that's promised. You also all get your pictures taken in the
• 1:11:59
  newspaper. And two, uh, days later, front page story. The three of
• 1:12:02
  you are the town heroes once again. Kid
• 1:12:05
  detectives redeemed his name. Finally,
• 1:12:08
  after, like, 15
• 1:12:10
  years,
• 1:12:14
  denny's Digs becomes a hit success
• 1:12:17
  in the town. Soon after, everyone wants to read the
• 1:12:20
  hero's story.
• 1:12:21
  There's, like, a front detector, front page.
• 1:12:23
  Feature of his version of accounts, like
• 1:12:26
  what he found with his metal detector.
• 1:12:29
  And it's all these really bad pictures. Uh,
• 1:12:32
  and it's like, one final picture of the broken metal detector
• 1:12:35
  that saved the hero of it all. I also
• 1:12:38
  like the idea that you.
• 1:12:39
  Get, like, a really nice one, and shortly after, you
• 1:12:41
  find something insane that was
• 1:12:44
  buried somewhere or something, like some really cool thing.
• 1:12:47
  Also follow up article about that. Also people
• 1:12:50

• 1:12:52
  bigfoot stories. People will start believing them a lot
• 1:12:55
  more, uh, because of your newfound success.
• 1:12:58
  I hire a cameraman.
• 1:12:59
  As for body, I don't know how much of the limelight
• 1:13:03
  you were looking for, but you got your money, you
• 1:13:05
  smiled for the picture, and then you beat it out of town before
• 1:13:08
  they matched the plates to I didn't want.
• 1:13:11
  To announce that I won the lottery.
• 1:13:14
  Yeah, they make you anyways. Uh, as for
• 1:13:16
  the McCooks, um, well,
• 1:13:19
  Taylor McCook did pass away after it, and
• 1:13:22
  she was actually a real life
• 1:13:25
  harpy who made it through
• 1:13:28
  time. Uh, her name was
• 1:13:31
  Pessini.
• 1:13:33
  Pessini. And she came back. She
• 1:13:36
  was waiting until the perfect time
• 1:13:38
  to strike. She
• 1:13:41
  was slowly taking the souls of
• 1:13:44
  the kids through dance, is what she was
• 1:13:47
  doing. Uh, her husband had nothing to do with it. He was
• 1:13:50
  the first person she, uh siren
• 1:13:52
  songed took over mentally. And she
• 1:13:55
  got familiar. Correct. And she took him over to be
• 1:13:58
  DJ repip, who would be the face of the
• 1:14:01
  organization. Basically, the
• 1:14:03
  faceless face, though, because he had a mask. Um,
• 1:14:06
  other than that, though, you guys saved the day. You saved the
• 1:14:09
  sleepy town of Devil's Lake. And that
• 1:14:12
  is the end of Music
• 1:14:15
  Mayhem. Thank you for joining us today.
