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

- 13:15Speaker 1: my frog. Okay. Pretty cool. There's also a poster as
