Thank you so much,

4:45

project for the three of us. We

4:47

all love this weird internet

4:47

crap. Not a lot of people do not

4:51

people know about it. And we

4:51

would love to bring this to more

4:55

people and your support is what

4:55

is doing that.

4:59

What is our Patreon.

5:01

It's patreon.com slash

5:01

the Louis pod cool.

5:03

I don't even know that.

5:03

But Nicole did. Thank you,

5:05

Nicole for having more knowledge

5:05

than I do about my own podcast.

5:08

You can find the Support

5:08

link in all of our episodes,

5:12

probably in the link tree

5:12

somewhere as well. Probably

5:14

probably on YouTube as well.

5:16

It's probably everywhere

5:16

you can find us. So if, if you

5:19

like what we do, if you're

5:19

enjoying us as people, which I'm

5:23

getting to fucking set the bar

5:23

higher, please. But seriously,

5:30

thank you so much. This means

5:30

the world. We promise we'll

5:34

bring you more quality content.

5:34

Can't get into everybody will

5:37

find it funny. No word

5:37

terrifying. But there'll be

5:41

words involved.

5:44

saying words at people

5:47

that's where the bar is

5:47

just no movie words.

5:50

Yeah, that movie, there

5:50

will be blood. But there will be

5:53

words.

5:54

well enough of our gushing

5:54

over our fans, which again, we

5:59

appreciate. We're not going to

5:59

stop doing that. No, we won't.

6:02

Just remember if you guys do

6:02

anything for us, we're going to

6:05

we're gonna be talking about it

6:05

a lot. And you won't even know

6:07

Yeah, we already love

6:07

what we're doing here. But the

6:10

support from the community

6:10

around my ovaries exploded.

6:13

Yeah, we're all pregnant now

6:13

because of your love. Hi, I'm

6:16

super pregnant. Thank

6:16

you, for the love impregnated me

6:18

You are the author.

6:21

Your goal? We're gonna be

6:21

expecting that child support

6:25

you're gonna be a David.

6:29

I don't know if this is

6:29

the way to go.

6:34

No, no, not today.

6:38

Alright guys, let's get

6:38

into act two. So Ben drowned.

6:44

Part Two. Small recap. Baby.

6:44

Majora is mask RG kid finds a

6:50

game game starts to haunt them.

6:50

We go into this kind of, you

6:55

know, downward spiral of this

6:55

man, being just fucked with

7:00

completely by a computer

7:01

follows him gets loaded

7:01

into his computer eventually

7:05

starts fucking with that

7:05

basically eliminates all hope of

7:08

sanity. And I think what where

7:08

we left off where we left

7:12

off with one final upload

7:12

on the YouTube channel that was

7:16

filled with ciphers. And then

7:16

those ciphers led us to a

7:19

certain website. And what

7:22

is that website? Doug?

7:24

Mike, you shouldn't have

7:24

done that. And you know why?

7:28

Because those multiple messages

7:28

that were found on jd visibles

7:35

activity log, those five ciphers

7:35

actually lead people to an

7:41

important like, tech support

7:41

forum. From this tech support

7:46

forum. This is where we found

7:46

out that you shouldn't have done

7:50

that. dotnet is where he was

7:50

trying to lead everyone. So Ooh,

7:56

two minutes pretty. Yeah.

7:58

I mean, I could have guessed that I think

8:00

you could never, it's a

8:00

really short post to like, you

8:03

see, like a small like little

8:03

log between, you know, two users

8:07

talking about like a net dotnet

8:07

domain, like kind of not

8:10

working. And then he says he did

8:10

this thing. And then the actual

8:13

admin was just like, he

8:13

shouldn't have done that. And so

8:16

we get this kind of like, Oh,

8:16

you shouldn't have done that.

8:19

We've seen that before. And we

8:19

keep seeing dotnet everywhere.

8:22

So can

8:22

I just say that I

8:22

absolutely love the the

8:26

interaction between Ben and

8:26

like, the people who are

8:31

following along with this whole

8:33

thing? Oh, yeah,

8:33

absolutely. And we're gonna get

8:36

into that and like Wade deeper,

8:36

kind of just absolute. Oh, God,

8:42

I want to call it a brain Fuck,

8:42

but like,

8:45

Yeah, I would say, a

8:45

hunker down kids, because the

8:48

first one was a fun, audio

8:48

drama. This is going to get a

8:51

bit more into the details of

8:51

everything. So

8:54

don't worry, we're not

8:54

gonna break down every letter

8:57

that we see or anything like

8:57

that. Yeah, we've done a

9:01

fuckload of research. We're not

9:01

supposed to swear for a minute,

9:04

right?

9:04

I think we're way past a minute

9:06

right. Now. Yeah, I'm

9:06

just making sure. Oh, well.

9:12

Heck, yeah. No, the first of the

9:12

first leg of this whole

9:15

adventure is basically just

9:15

following someone through their

9:18

experience with a haunted video

9:18

game cartridge. This is kind of

9:23

where the whole thing gets. Way,

9:23

way, way crazier, way more

9:30

involved and way more

9:30

interactive. Oh, yeah.

9:32

This is where the creepy

9:32

pasta turns into an AR g for

9:36

sure. And if you couldn't tell

9:36

by the fucking content of the

9:39

first episode, it's a fucking

9:39

energy. So that being said, What

9:44

else would we be covering? Get

9:44

your head out. You know, we're

9:49

about so yeah, like I said, you

9:49

get these two important

9:54

important takeaways from the

9:54

tech side, which leads us to you

9:57

shouldn't have done that. dotnet

9:57

this website appeared to be the

10:01

home of a cult called the moon

10:01

children. Which another

10:05

reference to madora Xmas.

10:08

So, who are the moon

10:08

children?

10:11

Mike, take it away.

10:12

Oh, no. Well, there's

10:12

Sally. No. So

10:17

there's, there's tipsy,

10:17

which,

10:20

I kinda want to hear more

10:20

about this. There's tipsy wipsy

10:23

there's la la. Po.

10:27

Garfield.

10:30

garga. Mel and garga Mel

10:30

and haulin oats. They're all the

10:33

moon children.

10:34

We hit it. We got we got

10:34

gargamel even applause

10:38

Thank you. Very well. No,

10:38

no, stop. You're too much. No,

10:42

stop. No,

10:43

really stop.

10:45

Okay. Is it quiet enough

10:45

to continue? Now the live studio

10:49

audience that has been here for

10:49

the last three weeks haven't

10:51

eaten? we

10:53

lock them in here? If

10:55

you buy tickets to our

10:55

show, we're not feeding you.

10:57

Yeah, bring bring? I'm not

10:57

I want you to smuggle in any

11:01

kind of food, booze, drugs, you

11:01

can do that. We don't have

11:06

security. Just we don't have a

11:06

live show either. But if we did,

11:12

who are these moon children?

11:12

Alrighty. Getting back on track,

11:17

as you know, well, as you don't

11:17

know, actually the moon children

11:21

from the game, for lack of

11:21

better understanding, I guess,

11:25

are kind of these like kids that

11:25

technically are supposedly like,

11:29

living in the moon and

11:29

worshiping the moon. Without

11:33

giving too much away at this

11:33

point. We'll leave it at that.

11:36

But

11:36

yeah, at this point, all

11:36

we know about the moon children

11:39

is that they value the moon.

11:39

Yeah, and

11:43

specifically Luna. Right,

11:43

my cat. You know, she's very

11:49

cute.

11:50

She is just fluffy as

11:50

fuck. Not as fluffy as that

11:53

bunny. Anyway, Moon children.

11:53

I'm trying Okay, my, my

11:58

resolution for this episode is

11:58

not to take us from one topic

12:02

and take nice direction.

12:05

Yeah, let's go, we're

12:05

doing that now. You get to this

12:09

website. It's the home website

12:09

or home forum, whatever you want

12:14

to call it at this point for the

12:14

moon children, they are a cult.

12:17

And that this, I'm going to kind

12:17

of explain the website to you

12:21

guys, for the most part. So when

12:21

you get to the website, you see

12:26

seven main tabs, which I'm going

12:26

to go over first, you've got

12:29

your homepage, you've got a tab

12:29

called creed, a tab called about

12:33

a tab called theories, a tab

12:33

called contact us a tab called

12:38

the truth and a tab called

12:38

search. The homepage was

12:42

somewhat of a forum almost for

12:42

the moderators to like leave a

12:47

little comment about themselves

12:47

or just kind of you know,

12:50

welcome people on to the

12:50

website. You You can see kind of

12:54

a almost like a communication

12:54

log between the people that are

12:58

moderating the site. Is the site

12:58

still up? There's a remake of

13:02

the site as it was in all of its

13:02

different forms, which we'll go

13:05

over a little bit later.

13:06

Yeah, like if you went to

13:06

this actual site now you would

13:08

just see the very last thing

13:11

was no, you'd actually see

13:11

all forms of it on the site

13:13

currently. On the homepage, you

13:13

can see communications from a

13:17

few moderators, you've got

13:17

ephorate Neko dusk world 23 and

13:21

drought and a lot of things kind

13:21

of come into fruition here. We

13:28

got a lot of different debtors

13:28

and that last one, though. Oh,

13:32

yeah, Mr. Mr. De Pere chance.

13:35

who follow? Mr. dro? I

13:35

father

13:38

call me Ben does.

13:40

The buzzwords are are

13:40

making my pants tighter?

13:43

boy. Oh, yeah. Okay, so

13:43

looking at the homepage, you see

13:51

effort, he welcomes users to the

13:51

website, along with some like

13:55

random tech website updates that

13:55

he's kind of just mentioned in

13:58

his post. And then we have

13:58

necco, who mentions his

14:02

excitement for his upcoming ascension.

14:05

So this is a cult, right?

14:07

Oh, yeah.

14:09

The only times I've ever

14:09

heard the words Ascension used

14:13

in anything, are either a cult

14:17

or

14:18

Rick and Morty. The

14:18

episode about a cult. You know,

14:22

it's,

14:23

you know what other cult

14:23

uses the term ascension and they

14:26

call themselves the Ascended.

14:28

Are you let's talk about

14:28

Jim Jones here. No, Kanye West.

14:32

Oh, he were that one time that

14:32

we

14:37

that we were doing that?

14:38

Well, I wish I got a question at one point. But that's,

14:40

that's. We're gonna do it

14:40

when Mike least expects it.

14:44

We're gonna we're gonna Oh

14:44

man. They're gonna have some

14:47

good ideas. We'll talk later.

14:50

Now with you Mike. Okay.

14:52

Go look up the hibernation

14:52

route of bears.

14:58

Go okay.

15:00

All this research prepared

15:00

you guys like so Connie quest?

15:04

I'm pretty sure you would just leave. Let's find out.

15:09

Slam door.

15:11

Oh, fuck.

15:13

All right back on topic

15:13

here. So like I said necco

15:16

mentions that, you know, he has

15:16

this excitement for his upcoming

15:18

ascension. And I'm kind of not

15:18

shelling all of these, there's a

15:24

lot of other texts that they're

15:24

saying. But um, there's so much

15:27

content and an arc to an arc

15:27

three that like we really kind

15:31

of have to, you know, pick and

15:31

choose the most important things

15:34

that we like, want you guys to

15:34

understand about what's

15:36

happening, get ready for a

15:38

TLDR. Yeah,

15:40

if we covered everything

15:40

about this arc, and the next

15:44

one, we like this could be, I

15:44

don't know, six months worth of

15:48

episodes like that. It's just,

15:48

it's insane. If you guys have

15:52

again, no, Mike said, we don't

15:52

want to make it a trend to

15:55

follow along at home. But it's

15:55

going to help, you're gonna see

15:59

over to what we're talking

15:59

about. And you can visit these

16:01

sites. Now. It's not gonna be

16:01

the same condition as it was,

16:03

but a lot of them are like Doug

16:03

had just said, this website has

16:08

been recreated by someone who

16:08

has put every element. Yeah,

16:13

that's been shown throughout the

16:13

entire args arc.

16:15

Yeah, cuz there's, I'll

16:15

get into it. And you'll

16:17

understand what I mean by every

16:17

version of this website. I won't

16:21

get into that very, very shortly

16:21

here. But yeah, you can follow

16:25

along. On the website you can

16:25

follow there's actually a wiki

16:29

for this whole thing, which was

16:29

amazing. Highly recommend you

16:32

take a look at that. You can go

16:32

to their YouTube channel, the

16:34

Jade usable YouTube channel.

16:34

Yep. There's a lot of different

16:38

ways to follow along on this

16:38

one. So buckle up, bitches.

16:41

I will say if you go to

16:41

Jeju, Isabel's YouTube channel

16:44

be prepared to have the reverse

16:44

song of healing. stuck in your

16:49

head forever. Yeah, that's

16:49

fantastic. But here when I go

16:53

poop, I hear it when I go to

16:53

sleep. I hear it when I go poop

16:56

again. It's just

16:58

I've been hearing that laugh still. Is that okay?

17:04

Nevermind. Keep going.

17:05

Anyways, so yeah. So like

17:05

I was saying necco still excited

17:11

for their ascension. But then we

17:11

get dusk world, congratulating

17:15

that go on successful ascension,

17:15

and mentioning that this is the

17:19

youngest person ever to ascend

17:19

without incident. Without

17:23

without just like breaking a leg on the way.

17:27

Down incident. Does that mean?

17:30

Honestly, I don't really

17:30

know. What is it that we could

17:33

take away from it that I'll you

17:33

know,

17:36

we'll let you get to that?

17:37

Yeah, sure.

17:39

I was, I was thinking that

17:39

like sign versus like, zero days

17:42

since last incident. And I said

17:42

like 48 and then fucking what's

17:47

his name again? Neko. Neko has

17:47

to go up there with like a piece

17:50

of chalk and like, Fox, change

17:50

it to zero.

17:54

Yeah, pretty much. So and

17:54

then we get our last little

17:59

welcome message from drowned.

17:59

His post is just a message that

18:04

says, You shouldn't be reading

18:04

this. And when you hover over

18:08

his avatar, which they all have

18:08

a different avatar. And you have

18:11

to see that some of them are

18:11

just like, shapes and like, I

18:15

want to see an artist shit.

18:15

Yeah, but then you get drown,

18:18

which is like kind of a picture

18:18

of a guy like wearing like a gas

18:21

mask. And then you hover over

18:21

his avatar and it becomes the LG

18:28

statue. So some other notable

18:28

posts on the homepage can be

18:37

found in what's called the

18:37

guestbook. And you can see a lot

18:40

of the like the moon children,

18:40

quote, unquote, kind of talking

18:44

back and forth making posts just

18:44

talking about random stuff.

18:47

So really the moon

18:47

children, that's just the users

18:50

kind of on the site. Like you

18:50

said, Neko drown dusk world,

18:55

Efrat.

18:56

Yeah, yeah, so like,

18:56

there's actually way more than

18:58

that. But those aren't the

18:58

moderators, you have the

19:01

moderators and then you have

19:01

whoever's a part of this cult so

19:05

far are eight like logged in and

19:05

like able to chat and now keep

19:09

in mind, this is day one of the

19:09

website being live. Okay, and

19:14

you'll hear them talking about

19:14

that. So, in the guestbook

19:17

actually, two users are talking

19:17

about like one user start saying

19:21

something and I just want to

19:21

preface this before we go any

19:24

further. This is all fiction.

19:24

None of the things talked about

19:27

on this are real or happening

19:27

this is all part of the air g so

19:32

don't freak out don't get

19:34

it's very next part is

19:34

very topical. Yeah, today's

19:38

world

19:38

what I'm going to say and

19:38

then the next minute is going to

19:41

be very, very not okay.

19:43

Is it about the C word?

19:48

Corona, Chris. Oh,

19:53

I don't think it's croissant.

19:54

No, don't listen to them.

19:54

This is entirely real. Okay.

19:57

Continue

19:57

dog. Anyways, so yeah.

19:57

Like I said, users are talking

20:01

on the guestbook. When user

20:01

starts talking about how they've

20:04

just had too much going on in

20:04

their lives. They're kind of

20:07

just sick of it and that he's

20:07

gonna wake up tomorrow, grab his

20:11

dad's nine millimeter and just

20:11

pull the trigger at school until

20:16

he can't pull the trigger. This isn't real.

20:18

This is real. The words not real.

20:20

Ah, yeah, it's not real at

20:20

all. So so everyone knows. But

20:24

then another user chimes in is

20:24

like, Yeah, man, I've been

20:26

feeling the same way. Like, I'll join you

20:29

then. Wait,

20:30

this is the funnest cult

20:30

to be part of isn't it who

20:33

Platon just plans mass

20:33

shooting? Yeah, what

20:35

the fuck but this could be

20:35

considered part of their

20:38

assumption and they want to

20:38

bring as many people with them

20:41

as they can

20:42

is this like ancient

20:42

Egypt where you were buried with

20:44

your treasures like you bring

20:44

them with so your cat but if you

20:47

kill like, people, and then you

20:47

die like you bring those people

20:51

with you use kool aid?

20:52

I don't I don't actually

20:52

know. I don't really know how

20:56

Ascension works in this call.

20:56

There's, I mean, there's a lot

20:59

of reading you can do on this.

20:59

But as far as the actual

21:03

ascension process goes, I don't

21:03

know what's considered ascension

21:07

and what's considered suicide.

21:09

Give the people a pamphlet

21:09

before you shoot them just be

21:12

like assumptions and new and

21:12

just be there. Let them decide.

21:15

I will say I think some

21:15

of those answers might come out

21:19

on our next episode.

21:20

I think so as well.

21:21

Is there a pamphlet that they give you in the

21:23

I'm gonna hand out pamphlets? Everyone who downloads? I'm going to show up

21:24

at their house

21:27

and be like here, the

21:27

ascension and you attract you

21:29

and small,

21:31

small pamphlet? continued

21:31

anywho. So yeah, the guestbook

21:38

has people talking about random

21:38

shit. Like I said, they start

21:41

talking about a mass shooting,

21:41

which is not great, but it is

21:45

one of the things they talk

21:45

about. But there's one other

21:47

really important part in the

21:47

guestbook that we see on day

21:50

one. And that's somebody asking,

21:50

where's Alex? When the blackout

21:55

happened, Alex disappeared. Now,

21:55

the only notable instance of

22:00

anyone named Alex we get is from

22:00

jd visibles. uploads. We see him

22:06

talking about not knowing that

22:06

he posted these two videos of

22:11

gameplay from the vampire

22:11

masquerade. Right. And

22:16

prototype. So

22:20

good. You're about to explain it cool. Yep.

22:22

prototype is a pretty

22:22

awesome game. I've played both.

22:25

They're actually really fun. People

22:27

don't like the second one, but

22:28

I love it. I think it's bad.

22:29

Thank you. I think it's a lot better.

22:31

It's really good. I have the steelbook version of it. You get to call

22:33

those demon dog things on

22:33

people. Yeah, there's

22:36

so many more mutations.

22:36

Like it's better looking.

22:40

I love the open rudeness,

22:40

too, because you're just like

22:42

running up buildings and fucking

22:42

like, the fucking one. Yeah, so

22:46

good. It's a really good game,

22:46

but the main character's name is

22:49

Alex Mercer. Mercer.

22:51

Oh, weird connection.

22:53

So we have that small

22:53

connection when we say Hey,

22:56

where's Alex? This blackout

22:56

happened? We don't know where he

22:59

is. And yeah, so people kind of

22:59

don't know where this quote

23:03

unquote Alex is at the moment.

23:03

And we kind of don't really know

23:06

anything about him right now. So

23:06

that kind of covers the

23:10

homepage. So I'm gonna go into

23:10

all the other tabs real quick,

23:13

because this whole website is

23:13

like, the main basis

23:18

right? Yeah. Where

23:18

everyone goes to kind of learn

23:20

anything about anything about this arc.

23:22

Yeah, and this is where

23:22

the community really got to step

23:25

in and start being like,

23:26

Whoa,

23:27

what's this page? What's

23:27

this page what's going on on

23:29

this page? Like what's this but

23:29

yeah, so now we go to our first

23:36

tab which is called creed yeah

23:36

goddamnit basically the creed

23:44

page just kind of explained that

23:44

there's some ceremonial chance

23:47

and that that masks are a part

23:47

of these rituals. They're very

23:51

big part of the moon children masks you

23:53

say max. One more

23:57

time, Massa cuz

23:59

he's getting there. He's

23:59

got to keep giving them words of

24:01

encouragement.

24:02

Give him a treat every now and then.

24:04

Yeah,

24:04

you want you want to

24:04

treat it right. Your allergies

24:09

are back.

24:10

And he's Oh, I didn't mean

24:10

that to make fun of you. I was

24:13

just masks as in like Majoris

24:13

Mavs.

24:15

Whoa.

24:21

I love all my friends.

24:23

But yeah, so this this,

24:23

you know, this call is very big

24:27

on their masks. They're very big

24:27

on the whole ceremonial part of

24:31

everything that's going on. And

24:31

in their special thanks portion

24:36

of this tab. They mentioned a

24:36

special thanks to a user named

24:40

Rosa. So now that we've

24:40

mentioned Rosa, this brings us

24:43

back to Alex in a way. We have

24:43

the JD usable YouTube channel,

24:49

which had the two videos like we

24:49

mentioned before, but now we

24:52

have Rosa who is from

24:55

permanently I know

24:58

sorry, you're saying

24:59

I agree. With you full

24:59

heartedly, because I love her on

25:02

that show. It's amazing. But no,

25:02

we actually come back to the

25:06

vampire masquerade video, which

25:06

is on the YouTube channel, which

25:10

shows a woman named Rosa's

25:10

talking. So we've got these two

25:15

links right now that we're not really sure

25:16

what to do with you didn't

25:16

I'm sorry, I did not have to go

25:19

so sexy with that. Jason. Sorry,

25:19

that really? Oh. This is

25:28

hard. Uber's for listening

25:28

to us do these things to your

25:32

ears?

25:32

They know they choose to

25:32

do this.

25:36

Yeah, at this point, you should know that we're gonna. Yeah.

25:41

Next time we'll be naked. We'll record

25:43

who says we're not now.

25:43

That's a good point. They don't

25:46

know that.

25:47

I'm straight shirt document right now.

25:51

You want to see this,

25:51

subscribe to our top tier

25:53

Patreon. Our God. Yeah.

25:59

God, anyways, so yeah,

25:59

they mentioned a special thanks

26:01

to Rosa. And that's kind of all

26:01

we get from that. So we're gonna

26:04

move on to our next tab, which

26:04

is the theories tab. This tab is

26:09

kind of crazy. It's got just a

26:09

ton of theories about

26:12

apocalyptic things and how the

26:12

moon children's main goal was to

26:16

bring about the end of the

26:16

world. The original theory is

26:19

that the moon children, I'm

26:19

sorry, a moon children, like the

26:24

first user, I guess, the first

26:24

cult member, I want to say user

26:29

because I'm thinking internet stuff, because we're on this forum. But well,

26:32

you can say user and I

26:32

mean, it's a cult gathering on a

26:36

website. I think username checks

26:36

out.

26:38

Yeah. Yeah. But their

26:38

their name was calibres, and

26:42

this person was the first moon

26:42

child to speak to Luna. And

26:48

actually, you're gonna see a lot

26:48

of stuff involving the number

26:51

three, you're gonna see a lot of

26:51

stuff involving calibres. But

26:56

it's really hard from this point

26:56

forward to know exactly when and

27:00

who and what is coming out of

27:00

this user. Who is what we will

27:05

call calibres. It's pretty

27:05

awesome. It mixed up PP heart

27:10

Oh, yeah.

27:10

Fall fleet. If you're

27:10

listening, you're obviously

27:14

interested in this so far,

27:14

because we're what almost half

27:16

an hour in if I'm not

27:16

interested, I think I'll listen

27:19

for another 30 minutes. Um, pay

27:19

attention to these, these

27:25

different users, because they

27:25

are going to play parts pretty

27:28

much throughout the rest of this

27:28

episode,

27:30

and the next random on

27:30

a piece of paper,

27:34

put them in a bowl or a

27:34

hat and pick one out every five

27:37

minutes, and then have a sexual

27:37

fantasy about that person.

27:40

Well, okay.

27:43

Bye, back back on track, I

27:43

guess, here we go. We get to the

27:50

About Us tab. And I know I'm

27:50

going through these kind of

27:53

fairly quickly. But like I said,

27:53

we're trying to kind of nutshell

27:56

all this stuff, we've got the

27:56

About Us tab, a link to a forum

28:01

where you could actually fill

28:01

out the information. And it was

28:04

kind of a recruitment form. So

28:04

if you wanted to join the moon

28:07

children, you could put your

28:07

name in the hat essentially, and

28:12

give them your info. And

28:12

hopefully you'd get some kind of

28:14

confirmation that you were added

28:14

to the call of duty.

28:20

I'm doing my part,

28:20

Achievement unlocked, you

28:23

successfully joined the cult.

28:25

But a fun thing about this

28:25

page was that users eventually

28:29

figured out this is where the

28:29

internet sleuths come in. But if

28:33

you added names to the end of

28:33

the URL to the Contact Us page,

28:38

you would actually get other

28:38

pages that came up.

28:42

So like of the

28:42

moderators, Mm hmm. Oh,

28:46

so the first page that was

28:46

found was Ben's page. Of course,

28:50

which is a moderator at this

28:50

point. No someone named Ben to

28:56

the end of the Contact Us form

28:58

if I'm being honest if I

28:58

was one of these salutes going

29:00

at this when it was first coming

29:00

out. That is the first thing

29:03

out of the first nail yeah

29:03

for fucking shirt around.

29:06

Now well,

29:06

then that must be Todd.

29:08

Yeah. Todd from the last

29:08

episode, top breathed.

29:18

Doug is having revelations

29:18

inside his own mind that we

29:20

cannot fully comprehend his

29:20

mortal

29:23

words come and do things

29:23

you don't know. So Ben's page

29:30

being the first to be found,

29:30

held a countdown timer, and it

29:34

was set to end sometime the next

29:34

day when it was found.

29:44

Todd Todd free.

29:46

I don't know Ben Brown Todd Breen. You

29:49

face duck hat was just

29:49

like the monkey with the

29:52

tambourines in his brain. Just

29:52

stop for a second.

29:57

I do a lot of good

29:57

thinking on this podcast.

30:02

Go ahead.

30:07

So like I said, this page

30:07

held a countdown timer and it

30:10

was set to expire sometime the

30:10

next day. This is when people

30:13

found it. I don't know how they

30:13

fucking looped all this together

30:17

that well, but props to the

30:17

users who found this right away.

30:21

Yeah, the fucking legwork

30:21

that was needed to piece this

30:24

shit together is incredible.

30:27

Yeah, absolutely like

30:28

we tried our hand at

30:28

legwork with Deptford and

30:30

we did a fucking decent

30:30

job with rough Although I will

30:33

say the one thing that we missed

30:33

was the WC brewery.

30:39

Yeah, no, I mentioned

30:39

that. Oh, did you yeah and the

30:43

tumbler stuff

30:44

What the I know you mentioned it but we didn't connect it to WC from

30:45

transmissions from homestead.

30:50

Well, what kind of

30:50

Carnahan? I did. I guess I just

30:54

I mentioned it but i didn't i

30:54

didn't i guess we didn't connect

30:57

it.

30:58

I think that you just thought we were all on the same page. like yeah, that's fucking

30:59

obvious. WC Wesley Carnahan. I'm

31:03

like, over here like, Oh, fuck.

31:03

Two weeks later.

31:09

Also, fun fact, just in

31:09

the middle of our fucking

31:11

episode. The person that made

31:11

the original Reddit post about

31:15

fucking Deptford actually

31:15

reached out and said, Hey, hit

31:18

us up. Oh,

31:19

I still have not. I've

31:19

been responding to other shit

31:22

plus surgery.

31:23

Plus, I don't want to talk

31:23

about that for county for like a

31:27

long time.

31:27

I'm pretty done. I might

31:27

get back and just ask for like

31:31

the lowdown on it and like, why?

31:31

Simply what is Why?

31:38

What is what this is?

31:40

Thank you. Yeah, if if

31:40

you ever see a part two of

31:43

Deptford in our

31:45

scraping bucket

31:47

or five years from now

31:47

it's either we're scraping the

31:49

bucket or we found something

31:49

pretty fantastic. So

31:52

wonder what else is

31:52

fantastic leaves Luke and his

31:55

moon children right? Yeah.

31:58

You don't want to talk

31:58

about our two episodes ago

32:01

episode for a while.

32:03

I mean, I've been trying

32:03

to talk about Ben's page for

32:05

like the past like five

32:07

minutes. Let's keep moving forward.

32:11

So to reiterate, if your

32:11

last bins page had a countdown

32:15

timer set to expire The next

32:15

day, I think this is the third

32:18

time I've set it now. Not really

32:18

sure. But then when it expired

32:22

the next day sometime

32:23

like from now from

32:25

them. Okay. So this page

32:25

actually held Who?

32:33

Okay, I'm going to shut

32:33

the fuck up literally strangles

32:37

me with my own

32:39

subscriber count go down couple.

32:41

We only have one. All right now on Patreon. It's

32:44

man,

32:47

one way or the other.

32:47

Alright, so yeah, so Ben's page

32:52

held the heavy mass salesman

32:52

music in reverse and sped up

32:57

from the Ben dot w m v video. So

32:57

it was kind of a spooky, weird

33:03

random page that just had that

33:03

countdown on it. Now drowns page

33:09

was the next to be found.

33:09

Obviously, if you're going to

33:12

search thing, it's going to be

33:12

Ben and drown. So kind of see

33:15

where they're going. This had an

33:15

image of a large Green Man with

33:19

the text, dead in go back to the

33:19

Gumby, who probably got

33:25

a fucking Gumby,

33:26

I would call him a small

33:26

man, but that's fine. The title

33:29

of the page was actually a

33:29

cipher that when solved, gave

33:33

the message that said my eyes,

33:33

they took my eyes, and the image

33:38

was titled, calibres dot jpg. So

33:38

that's fuckin spook.

33:47

Can't wait to find out who.

33:49

Yeah, and these are the first two pages that people found. I don't know if people

33:51

found more from here. But these

33:54

are the two main ones that were

33:54

found once the site launched. So

34:00

now we go to the tab called the

34:00

truth. This contained only a

34:03

login screen. The source code

34:03

for the page revealed that the

34:07

text is it. So I don't know if

34:07

you guys know this. But when you

34:11

go on a website, you can right

34:11

click, and you can click and

34:14

inspect. Right? It will show you

34:14

all the div codes everything on

34:18

the website. Basically, when

34:18

they did that to this page, it

34:21

said, it's what they don't want

34:21

you to know. This was on the

34:26

truth page, the tab, I should

34:26

say.

34:29

So the the tags, the tags

34:29

really no.

34:32

So when you inspect the

34:32

source on this page specifically

34:36

literally says there was a div

34:36

tag that just literally had the

34:39

words. So is alt text,

34:39

basically. Gotcha. That said,

34:42

that's what they don't want you

34:42

to know. But the login

34:45

information was never found in

34:45

time to see what the page

34:48

revealed. So this page was

34:48

almost like a waste

34:51

data. No one solved this part.

34:53

I won't get into that. But

34:53

yes, for the most part, nobody

34:59

ended up solving This page was

34:59

is really a bummer because I

35:01

kind of want to know like, what would have happened?

35:03

Oh yeah, absolutely.

35:05

So the more users

35:05

inspected the site, you got more

35:09

majorities mass references they

35:09

like starting to find which was

35:13

really cool. Most notably was

35:13

the banners on each of the

35:17

individual tabs that you'd start

35:17

clicking through. Were all of

35:20

the different areas that you

35:20

would actually visit in the game

35:23

so you got like the swamps, the

35:23

mountains, the city, etc. And

35:27

that's kind of cool and yeah, tree.

35:32

Viggo glorious tree

35:34

those might make an

35:34

appearance in all of the Zelda

35:36

games I'm not sure

35:38

definitely no trees in any Zelda

35:40

game. No none let's be

35:40

real. I can play fucking what's

35:44

the latest one called?

35:48

Play that you will not see a single tree

35:50

prove me wrong. You can

35:50

also speed run that game in like

35:53

20 minutes there's

35:54

literally sprint towards

35:54

the castle and you just fight

35:56

again

35:56

because he's easy as fuck

35:56

you really like literally like

35:59

you have to have a couple the

35:59

spells but like literally you

36:02

like time Stop fucking like big

36:02

stone slam it into the air and

36:06

then you just like, glide all

36:06

your way to the castle.

36:09

You can find the dark Oh

36:10

yeah.

36:10

Master Sword in the castle too. Yep,

36:12

you just got to break a wall. Yep, so

36:14

dark plus the helium

36:14

shield like you find all the

36:17

most powerful ship there. And if

36:17

you're just starting and you get

36:20

the glider and you just let's

36:20

stop talking about Breath of the

36:22

Wild because we could do a whole

36:22

podcast on that

36:25

unpopular opinion. I think

36:25

Breath of the Wild was one of

36:27

the least Zelda feeling games

36:27

I've ever played actually. Thank

36:30

you.

36:33

I'm sorry. An audience

36:33

members

36:36

from New Jersey.

36:37

really upset about that? I don't know. I just didn't it felt like an open world RPG than

36:39

a Zelda game. But besides the

36:43

point

36:45

we can debate Zelda

36:45

genres.

36:47

Another Yeah, maybe

36:48

a bonus episode. Oh no,

36:48

no, we're not doing a boner

36:52

episode. Unless you really want

36:52

to know are exactly. If you

36:57

don't my penis length. You know

36:57

Doug's similar sphincters we've

37:00

already been over this

37:01

size 933

37:03

Whoa, what happened to

37:03

your sphincter Sorry,

37:05

I was thinking foot okay.

37:05

I was thinking teeth size

37:09

actually. Sorry.

37:12

Our resident dental

37:12

expert

37:15

for fun is

37:18

anywho Okay, so this is

37:18

the first day The website is

37:23

live so now we enter day to this

37:23

is September 18. of 2010

37:28

Oh shit.

37:29

So two hours before that

37:29

countdown that I talked about on

37:32

Ben's page was to expire users

37:32

found efforts contact page so

37:38

they went to the contact page

37:38

they put his name at the end and

37:41

they got this page that said

37:44

you know what questions

37:44

to the brutal truth will be

37:49

opened

37:51

so that can be seen on the

37:51

page as well as an email that

37:56

was written out in hidden text

37:56

so basically you had to kind of

37:58

like highlight some like black

37:58

portion of the website to see

38:03

this hidden text that was on the

38:03

website because they put like a

38:05

black on black text. Yeah. So

38:05

there was a lot of that going

38:09

on. But users immediately

38:09

started to contact ephorate and

38:15

email him questions. Fire demon

38:15

Yes. That is a thing

38:21

in case anyone forgot

38:23

it for it the tax accountant

38:26

also demon of fire

38:29

so here's what we learn

38:29

from the emails that were sent

38:33

to Efrat. Like I said, bullet

38:33

points on this one. There's a

38:38

lot of different conversations

38:38

that happen and I'm not going to

38:40

read all of them out he's done

38:40

it because Yep, yep.

38:46

Cool. Cool. Cool.

38:48

So yep, so things that we

38:48

learn that are that I think are

38:51

most important are Ben was a

38:51

member of the call and ascended

38:56

However his body was never

38:56

found. This is one of the most

39:00

important things that if it lets

39:00

us know so now we know that not

39:04

only is been moonchild but he

39:04

may not even have been this like

39:12

kid that died from the game

39:12

right now we're going into a

39:15

whole different universe of God

39:15

is

39:18

happening right all that

39:18

could have been just a made up

39:21

story.

39:21

Oh, that's weird. Spooky

39:21

spaghetti there's another

39:28

they're all true anything new

39:28

here on the internet is not a

39:31

lie.

39:31

Yeah, that's the you

39:31

can't upload anything to the

39:33

internet. Unless it's truthful.

39:35

Would you want a car

39:39

would you upload a car

39:39

Yes, I would if I could. You

39:45

printing

39:45

Yep. I was gonna say I

39:45

need a 3d downloading car not

39:49

uploading with somebody had to

39:49

upload if you're going to upload

39:51

a car you got to shove it into

39:51

the CD tray of your desktop.

39:55

So yeah, we find out Ben

39:55

is actually a member of the call

39:58

He ascended body, never found

39:58

Cool. Second thing we find out

40:03

is that Rosa is effort sister,

40:03

actually his sister. He refers

40:09

to Ben as his brother, but it's

40:09

not really clear if he meant by

40:13

blood or if he was just calling

40:13

him like his little

40:16

brother. Like, I don't

40:16

know, esoteric name for somebody

40:19

who's a part of a cult with him.

40:20

Yeah, exactly. Gotcha. So

40:20

then we get more information

40:25

about Alex being missing since

40:25

the blackout it's not really

40:28

more information it's kind of a

40:28

reiteration of us knowing that

40:32

now Alex is definitely missing

40:32

since this quote unquote

40:36

blackout then the one of the big

40:36

things and this is this is

40:42

really big actually is that if

40:42

it's real name is shown up as

40:46

Rodney are what a name for a

40:46

fire demon

40:51

Rodney the fire demon.

40:53

But even though he's

40:53

listed as Rodney our, his email

40:58

has him listed as Matt hubris,

40:58

not any better for a fire demon

41:03

to be named Matt.

41:05

But that last part, Matt

41:05

hubris.

41:08

Hmm, what's the last save

41:08

file that we get from act one?

41:13

Well,

41:13

wouldn't you know it?

41:15

It's different.

41:19

It's melt it's Matt. So

41:19

this is actually a almost like

41:26

an omen of us learning that.

41:26

Matt. The save file from arc one

41:34

is actually the next victim.

41:39

Oh my god, Mike was right.

41:42

Oh my God.

41:43

He's He's even

41:43

surprised. That

41:45

never happens. Everyone at

41:45

home clap for me.

41:49

So like I said, we get

41:49

link and then we get mad. So the

41:53

last to save files are Lincoln

41:53

map. Basically, users found out

42:00

that attempting to reset the

42:00

email password for we'll call

42:05

him Matt hubris from now on.

42:05

This email led us to a security

42:11

question. This security question

42:11

was the first person I killed to

42:17

gain entrance to the moon

42:17

children is dot dot dot. And

42:21

that's the security question.

42:21

Now. It's not really I don't

42:25

think anyone ever cracked this.

42:25

I don't think I've ever anyone

42:27

ever got this right. So it kind

42:27

of just ends there. But this is

42:32

what we learn about ephorate so

42:32

he is Matt hubris, huh? Very

42:39

spicy.

42:43

Haha,

42:44

you got to keep going,

42:44

man. You say that word all

42:51

night.

42:51

So one hour before the

42:51

countdown ended on on Ben's

42:56

page. So we got one whole hour

42:56

left. drowns post was removed

43:02

from the site and the music was

43:02

changed on the website to an

43:06

even more sped up version of the

43:06

happy mess salesman song

43:10

just adding fuckin like

43:10

adrenaline to the day

43:17

I don't know if either of

43:17

you guys actually like YouTube

43:20

this music? Yeah, no, I

43:22

did but oh my god, it's

43:22

it's anxiety inducing.

43:25

It doesn't feel right. At

43:25

all.

43:28

It's like the Have you

43:28

either have you listened to that

43:32

version of lose yourself by

43:32

Eminem. But the lyrics and the

43:38

actual music are like, half a

43:38

beat off. Like the sounds The

43:43

lyrics are a little bit slower

43:43

than the actual music

43:46

you realize that all I can

43:46

think about now is scat man

43:49

john.

43:51

slowed down.

43:55

It is almost spot on. Mike

43:55

is saying it. I don't know how

43:59

he does that. But it's fucking I

43:59

don't know. But uh, yeah.

44:04

Anyways, so this, if you look in

44:04

the source code for what this

44:08

song is titled, because you can

44:08

see that stuff in the source

44:11

code on wild pages. The song is

44:11

actually titled maths final

44:16

hour. Yeah, oh, yeah. Oh, ah,

44:16

randomly. So that's kind of

44:23

creepy.

44:24

Very, very fucking

44:24

creepy.

44:27

So we now find out that

44:27

this song is called man's final

44:30

hour. We have one hour on the

44:30

clock that's ticking down. And

44:34

users that were still messaging

44:34

effort at the time. We're only

44:38

getting one last response. And

44:38

that last response was

44:47

he failed to respond to anything

44:47

else after that. So basically,

44:51

you have all these users

44:51

messaging him, they have his

44:53

email, we have this countdown

44:53

timer going on. We know that it

44:56

is, quote unquote final hour and

44:56

That's the last response we get

45:01

from him. So it kind of, you

45:01

know, puts everyone in a anxiety

45:06

induced state not knowing like

45:06

what is about to happen. Right.

45:10

Well, I'm just in a

45:10

kerfuffle here. I really am.

45:16

Are you Mike?

45:17

Yes, this guy is causing

45:17

such a brouhaha.

45:20

Damn it acting all

45:20

cattywampus I love that word,

45:24

but also let's not stay on

45:24

track.

45:27

No,

45:28

can you remember that time

45:32

we go let's stay on track

45:32

and Mike just went so garga

45:35

mouth

45:39

anywho So, jd visibles

45:39

YouTube, right after this

45:45

actually then posted an excerpt

45:45

from the song Who's that

45:48

knocking by the genies. And this

45:48

is a direct reference to efforts

45:52

last words. So that's kind of

45:52

fun. And then at 9pm that night,

45:57

a video response is uploaded to

45:57

the free w MV called fJ six RT

46:05

and this was posted by an

46:05

account called the link missing.

46:10

The user's name was Alex and it

46:10

featured a video of an adult

46:13

link playing the accordion of

46:13

time playing the song of time in

46:18

front of the moon

46:19

so I'm not gonna I'm not

46:19

gonna spoil anything Can I just

46:22

say I didn't realize how

46:22

important that was until right

46:26

fucking now

46:27

It's so fucking important

46:27

because it not only ties maduras

46:31

mask and Korean of time

46:31

together, but like ties

46:34

literally art two and three

46:35

together to my God keep

46:35

going keep going. We

46:38

got to keep going. So

46:38

fucking good. So okay, so they

46:41

post this video right after

46:41

this. You shouldn't have done

46:46

that. dotnet went down for

46:46

maintenance. And when I say went

46:49

down for maintenance, it was

46:49

basically sent back in fucking

46:53

time, which is a direct link to

46:53

Majora is my eyes.

46:57

I love this. This fucking

46:57

story this whole experience so

47:02

goddamn much.

47:03

I wish I could go back in

47:03

time and not sell my Dogecoin

47:06

when I did because it's worth

47:06

like double the fucking

47:08

money now my explain the

47:08

cryptocurrency market right now

47:12

and it is fucking his ass a bit.

47:12

Whoa, he still made a bunch of

47:16

money. I made my butt half as

47:16

much as

47:19

No, not even remotely is

47:19

6000 I bought 300 more. I have

47:23

300 I had 6000 just keep buying

47:23

just keep buying no hold on the

47:28

moon. portal h o DL.

47:33

Alright, so this should

47:33

got me really excited when I

47:36

first learned about this because

47:36

not only was the community

47:40

having to be like on fucking

47:40

point with what they were doing.

47:44

But it basically was a whole

47:44

night of just like not knowing

47:47

what was going to happen. So we

47:47

sent this fucking website back

47:50

in the fucking time, just like

47:50

in the majority mass game. And

47:54

like

47:54

somebody played the

47:54

fucking Song of Time.

47:57

Well, that's the thing too

47:57

is it before like the first bits

48:01

that we heard about this, it was

48:01

just a story from some guy named

48:03

Judas a bullet about a haunted

48:03

car cartridge. Now like, it's

48:07

like in real life, like people

48:07

are now affecting the AR g in

48:11

real time. Oh, yeah. It's It's

48:11

so good. Wonderful. It now you

48:16

have a lot more people in so

48:16

just a story. It's interactive.

48:19

Now, you affect it now.

48:20

So I was actually gonna

48:20

ask to clarify about like the

48:24

two hours left one hour left

48:24

kind of stuff. When when we say

48:28

things like there was only this

48:28

many hours left, for whatever

48:32

reason. It literally means that

48:32

whoever's doing all of this is

48:39

literally looking for a response

48:39

from a real person who is

48:44

a part of this in that

48:44

timeframe. Like you have

48:47

literally have been sitting

48:47

there, knowing what's going on

48:51

keeping track of the time, just

48:51

like you would have been in

48:54

majorities mask. Just exactly

48:54

like the

48:57

clock is your enemy in the

48:57

game. And now in real life. Yep.

49:00

And it's fucking great. It's

49:02

so fucking cool. Not only

49:02

does this spark the real like

49:06

defining moment and the AR g for

49:06

the community to be a part of

49:10

everything. You just it

49:10

literally it's like a snowball

49:14

effect. Yep, we get all these

49:14

crazy things that start

49:16

happening. So like I said, this

49:16

was at 9pm Now we go to 10:20pm

49:23

Jade usable account posts to

49:23

messages. What makes you think I

49:27

have a Twitter so desperate for

49:27

answers. All it has done is

49:31

thrown you guys further off from

49:31

the course. Do not mistake my

49:35

kindness for sympathy. It was an

49:35

amuse it was amusing to watch

49:38

you all run around aimlessly but

49:38

it is no fun if your mice are

49:42

too stupid to get the end to the

49:42

end of the maze. And we should

49:46

the reason I say it like this is

49:46

because basically on to Twitter

49:50

accounts come up that I think

49:50

we're trying to quote unquote

49:55

game jack or possibly throw

49:55

people off and I think he got

49:59

pissed off Hey guys I found is

50:01

it's at totally actually

50:01

disable. I found a styler.

50:08

Well after these posts

50:08

come up literally those two

50:11

years, those two accounts

50:13

do get deleted 694 20

50:13

wasn't the actual Judas level,

50:18

maybe

50:19

six or

50:24

so this kind of ends the

50:24

hole that this ends that nights

50:28

shenanigans for lack of better

50:28

word. So then we go to September

50:32

19 ooh 2010

50:35

if you never forget

50:36

a bit

50:38

so the site comes back up

50:38

online. And basically looks like

50:43

it's an early production like it

50:43

was when users first found the

50:45

site. Except there's no effort

50:45

and there's no drowned mentioned

50:52

in the homepage like you would

50:52

have seen before.

50:55

Right? They were kind of all over that

50:57

they were now we see

50:57

efforts contact page was

51:02

replaced with one that leads to

51:02

a page of just three elegy

51:06

statues and the text that says,

51:09

to form symbols.

51:12

So we get this text, but

51:12

the page has the skull kids left

51:16

playing in the background

51:16

consistently.

51:21

To the jockey,

51:23

it is

51:25

not gonna lie, I'm actually pretty proud of

51:27

the impression that that

51:27

was pretty good. Yeah, you did a

51:29

very good job. Not going to lie,

51:29

Nintendo, please

51:33

don't worry, I did not

51:33

say your sound effect. That's

51:37

just me.

51:38

Back off Nintendo, please.

51:38

So this is likely a reference to

51:43

effort being killed before the

51:43

time reset, which kind of

51:47

mirrors the mechanics of

51:47

majority's mask, where if you

51:50

kill the boss during this time,

51:50

they would no longer exist once

51:54

the time reset happens, right?

51:54

So we get a lot of the mechanics

51:59

from the game, which is just

51:59

beyond me how they fucking got

52:03

the shit to pan out correctly, but

52:05

it's fucking cool. It's

52:05

great. It's amazing. Don't

52:10

worry, Doug, and I are just

52:10

gonna slap boners together until

52:13

we finish and then we'll move on.

52:15

And I'm here to

52:22

Don't forget about little old me.

52:24

We won't forget about

52:24

you. We're thinking of you.

52:26

As you slept junk. Yeah,

52:26

slept or grundles around

52:31

our grumble bumpers.

52:33

We thump each other's rumbles.

52:36

So if it is now replaced

52:36

with a new mob, named in sitio,

52:44

who is now welcoming members

52:44

just like different dead, but

52:50

just completely different

52:50

person. So users end up finding

52:54

Alex's contact page through

52:54

efforts old contact page, which

52:58

was hidden inside basically,

52:58

with just some more menacing

53:03

text on the page. The truth was

53:03

ended up changed from a login

53:08

page to an in progress page,

53:08

where they mentioned finding and

53:13

silencing someone before

53:13

revealing their intentions. So

53:17

if you remember from what I said

53:17

before, when you went to the

53:20

truth page, there was that this

53:20

is what they don't want you to

53:24

know. source code. Yeah. So we

53:24

have to assume that someone is

53:30

trying to put the truth quote

53:30

unquote, out into the truth. The

53:35

users, maybe, but

53:38

to call back from arc

53:38

one, oh, yeah, no dot

53:42

txt. It absolutely is. And

53:42

somebody is trying to let us as

53:46

the audience know. Here we are.

53:46

Let's go. And but it it almost

53:52

seems like the moderator of the

53:52

website. Semi doesn't have

53:58

control over this one random

53:58

users.

54:02

actions. Yeah,

54:03

exactly. Hmm. So Doesn't

54:03

that sound familiar? Just a bit.

54:11

Nah, doesn't never heard of

54:11

anything ever before. Well, you

54:14

see, garga Mel.

54:17

He turned Smurfs to gold.

54:17

So we can pay for hookers.

54:21

off topic. So users begin

54:21

trying all sorts of different

54:27

like pages to find clues on

54:27

where to go from here. The login

54:31

page mysteriously now needed a

54:31

login to access it. Pretty much

54:38

the community was going nuts at

54:38

this point. So we have agian.

54:42

Yeah, we have a reset on the

54:42

website. Yeah. Nobody knows if

54:46

those things that we found from

54:46

before are still there. So now

54:49

everyone's kind of scrambling to

54:49

find these new pages. One of the

54:54

users actually uploaded a video

54:54

response to the free dot w MV

54:59

video With the inverted Song of

54:59

Time, oh, this is a big step in

55:06

the whole plot. Why? Why would

55:06

you say that? Because this

55:11

apparently was accepted air

55:11

quotes. I'm doing air quotes so

55:15

hard right now. Yep. Without

55:15

much context of what it did, so

55:21

it did trigger in effect.

55:24

So simply by posting

55:24

somebody playing the song of

55:27

time in reverse,

55:29

so was it just the song?

55:29

Or was it it was a video of the

55:33

just the inverted Song of Time?

55:33

There was no, it was an IT WAS A

55:37

so YouTube's fucking weird. You

55:37

can like upload video responses

55:44

to certain videos. And that's

55:44

user dead. Cool. Cool. So Ben

55:49

responded. Let me say that

55:49

again. Been responded down. Ah,

55:57

I think he wants to drive

55:57

a point home. Yes,

55:59

thank you. Ben responded

55:59

with a cipher that leads us to

56:05

the fact that users can now

56:05

trigger effects by uploading

56:10

their own videos.

56:12

So do they have to be

56:12

Zelda related? Or can I just

56:16

upload me eating?

56:17

My question but less

56:17

eloquent? Yes.

56:22

Yes, they could trigger

56:22

things by happening by uploading

56:25

things that happened in maduras.

56:25

mask. Song, whether it be an

56:29

attack,

56:30

Link playing well, the

56:30

ACC arena for some thing, you

56:34

could upload that and something will have

56:35

exactly so now the

56:35

community is kind of banding

56:38

together to decide what needs to

56:38

be played what needs to be done

56:42

in response to a certain video.

56:42

That's so fucking cool. So users

56:47

begin starting to upload new

56:47

videos, and their actions

56:52

started to open new doors. So

56:52

here's a list of like a couple

56:55

of the things that happen that

56:55

actually triggered effects.

56:59

Okay, so we get an upload called

56:59

New Wave boss Nova. This was

57:04

played and used in hopes of

57:04

being able to contact ephorate

57:09

now that he's like, gone, but

57:09

instead we actually got a

57:13

response from Rosa.

57:16

Oh, yeah. And that took him see that

57:18

coming? No, she's the

57:18

sister. She is the sister and

57:22

now right. The response we got

57:22

from her is that she said she

57:25

knew the password to the truth,

57:25

but can only give it to one

57:29

person gave

57:30

it to me, Milan. God damn.

57:37

So once we find this out,

57:37

the song of healing was played.

57:42

Most of the users were actually

57:42

against this because it

57:46

immediately made Rosa disappear.

57:46

This also triggered a post from

57:51

calibres

57:55

Wow. Yeah. fucking mind blown or

57:55

what?

57:59

It was very angry toned,

57:59

and basically, in a nutshell

58:03

have mentioned that he was going

58:03

to be knocking on some doors.

58:07

Ooh, where have we heard that before?

58:10

That everything about

58:10

this goddamn all of it. I

58:14

love it.

58:15

I know. It's just

58:15

everything ties in to each other

58:18

so well. It's stupid. It's so

58:18

good. Stupid. I hate it. I love

58:21

it. But I hate it. But I love

58:21

it. But I hit it. Oh, I

58:24

got it. That's must be.

58:24

That must be CalPERS I'll be

58:27

back in a second guys.

58:28

Okay, go Yeah, go get him

58:28

in here.

58:31

I was gonna ask if it was

58:31

your allergies. But Hello, sir.

58:35

Sorry, that's my bit. Sorry.

58:36

That's the whole thing.

58:38

He comes in, we have tea

58:38

kisses, Dad, you know the

58:42

fucking drill by now.

58:43

Boy Howdy. So the very

58:43

last song that's played is the

58:49

oath to order, which was played

58:49

and since a user's had not quite

58:54

found the equivalent of the four

58:54

giants from the majority game.

58:58

This triggered what users

58:58

believed to be Alex's death. So

59:03

even though we don't know a

59:03

whole lot about Alex yet, we now

59:06

learn that he fucking died. We

59:06

murdered him. And it's, it's I

59:10

mean, to

59:13

me, it's honestly on the

59:13

users. They Yeah, they tried

59:16

something that was too far

59:16

advanced for what we were at.

59:20

And now, we don't know,

59:20

obviously, what was supposed to

59:24

be played. But someone took a

59:24

chance and it didn't work out.

59:28

That's so

59:30

can you just say the fact

59:30

that somebody put this out into

59:35

the world, right? And is

59:35

actually responding to people

59:38

who are interested in it. And

59:38

also is not afraid to say Go

59:43

fuck yourself? Yeah, right. Hit

59:43

me real fucking hard. Oh, yeah,

59:47

but like, way better.

59:50

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

59:50

Like, whoever's controlling

59:53

everything at this point in

59:53

time, said, I don't give a fuck

59:57

y'all fucked up. Here's the

59:57

consequences. Yeah. And it left

1:00:02

the community being like holy

1:00:02

shit. Like our actions are

1:00:06

legitimately bugging us, right?

1:00:06

They're influencing what's

1:00:09

happening. Majora

1:00:11

Oh, I just killed.

1:00:17

Alright, so this leads us

1:00:17

into September 20 of 2010. Never

1:00:21

forget, never forget he always

1:00:21

remember. So after contact with

1:00:26

Rosa, one user decided to upload

1:00:26

the Song of Time, which is which

1:00:31

was accepted. And again, time

1:00:31

was reset on the website. Ooh.

1:00:36

So we can keep doing this over and

1:00:38

over legit. Majora is

1:00:38

mask? Yep. In real life. Yeah.

1:00:43

So

1:00:43

this is actions started

1:00:43

totally messing with the

1:00:47

website. So this was the second

1:00:47

time reset on the website. So

1:00:53

looking into tags, I'm like many

1:00:53

other videos. They had changed

1:00:57

during this reset. And actually

1:00:57

now mentioned that Rosa was

1:01:02

trapped.

1:01:04

So quick question, with

1:01:04

these time changes and

1:01:07

everything we did the first one

1:01:07

and abroad is back to a certain

1:01:10

time. Do they just do the second

1:01:10

one at a different time? Or the

1:01:15

same time to go back to when

1:01:15

they went back the first time?

1:01:18

That sentence probably didn't

1:01:18

make much sense. But they went

1:01:22

they went back with one hour

1:01:22

left. That's when they did it

1:01:24

last time. Did they do the same

1:01:24

thing this time around?

1:01:27

So I get what you're

1:01:27

saying. But I don't think they

1:01:30

actually kind of like reference

1:01:30

the like countdown timer this

1:01:35

time? Yeah, I don't think that

1:01:35

was a part of it.

1:01:38

Honestly, now that you

1:01:38

say that out loud, it kind of

1:01:41

makes me think that that was a

1:01:41

like an afterthought.

1:01:44

Yeah, it was like something they missed, like, well, like,

1:01:47

so you, you submit these

1:01:47

actions. And Mike, come on, man.

1:01:53

Stop mocking me, you submit

1:01:53

these actions and influence the

1:01:56

story, right. And some of these

1:01:56

are to reset some clock that's

1:02:03

out there. But I feel like that

1:02:03

was added after someone tried to

1:02:08

do that. You know, I mean, yeah,

1:02:10

basically, the second

1:02:10

reset is kind of the the

1:02:13

community being like, Okay, so

1:02:13

we have these resets available.

1:02:16

But now we need to, like, we

1:02:16

need to act very quickly. And

1:02:20

once we learn that Rosa is like,

1:02:20

quote, unquote, trapped in this

1:02:25

loop. Many users actually tried

1:02:25

to save Rosa and bring Alex

1:02:31

back, which actually kind of

1:02:31

seemed to be a loss for the

1:02:35

users, right? I'll explain in a

1:02:35

second. So once we get to this

1:02:42

point, this is when everything

1:02:42

comes to a grinding fucking

1:02:46

halt. And I wish it hadn't

1:02:46

because we get to this like very

1:02:50

real part of the whole AR G. And

1:02:50

then like, this brick wall comes

1:02:55

up, and the actual creator of

1:02:55

the AR g steps.

1:03:02

So up until now, it's

1:03:02

been a pretty seamless

1:03:05

transition between arc one arc

1:03:05

to all the events that have been

1:03:08

happening. This is kind of like

1:03:08

what the first confirmation that

1:03:12

this is, indeed an AR G.

1:03:14

Yeah, this is the first

1:03:14

time that the creator whose name

1:03:19

is Alex Hall, steps in and says,

1:03:19

here we go. So he basically goes

1:03:28

this is an energy we can confirm

1:03:28

the end and definite shutdown of

1:03:34

this AR g due to financial

1:03:34

difficulties. I'm no, I'm like

1:03:38

no longer able to run this. The

1:03:38

last video that he uploaded

1:03:43

after this was a re upload of

1:03:43

the truth that RFT and now

1:03:48

included an image of the heavy

1:03:48

mass salesman, entitled The

1:03:51

father. So not only did he end

1:03:51

the air, quote, unquote, but he

1:03:56

also led us to believe that now

1:03:56

the Happy Mask Salesman is the

1:04:01

father which we get that

1:04:01

reference a couple different

1:04:04

times. He's the

1:04:04

dad. I'm Can I just say,

1:04:04

now that we fucking mentioned

1:04:10

his goddamn name. Massive,

1:04:10

massive props to Alex Hall.

1:04:15

Yes, Alex, you are a

1:04:15

fucking genius. Thank you so

1:04:18

much for everything you've done.

1:04:20

The fact the literal fact

1:04:20

that so I actually emailed him

1:04:24

asking, I didn't want to do

1:04:24

this. And yeah, I didn't want to

1:04:28

do this any kind of injustice or

1:04:28

anything. So I emailed him

1:04:30

saying, Hey, we're doing a

1:04:30

podcast on Ben drowned. We're

1:04:34

going over the whole thing. I'm

1:04:34

sure he's received, like 1000

1:04:37

emails on this same subject

1:04:37

line. But he

1:04:41

responded, so cool. They

1:04:41

responded on the last

1:04:44

day, he responded to a

1:04:44

saying, Yeah, that sounds super

1:04:46

awesome. I've never had somebody

1:04:46

do a dramatic reading of the

1:04:51

creepypasta portion. I would

1:04:51

love to hear it, send it my way

1:04:54

when you're done with it. So

1:04:54

that's what I'll be doing and

1:04:58

I'm I'm fangirling over We're

1:04:58

here. Oh yeah fucking love

1:05:01

than drown

1:05:03

are talking to me. Yeah,

1:05:04

the best part is that, you

1:05:04

know if you're not that big into

1:05:07

like the underground of the

1:05:07

internet or something, or creepy

1:05:10

passive stuff like that Ben

1:05:10

drowned is probably in the top

1:05:13

like five when it comes to known

1:05:13

args or like creepy pasta. So

1:05:17

the fact that a man who's like,

1:05:17

a legend in the creepypasta game

1:05:21

is emailing us is kind of

1:05:21

awesome. Yeah. And not only

1:05:24

that, but again, props to you as

1:05:24

well, Alex, for being able to

1:05:28

create this like story to where

1:05:28

you could just openly be like, I

1:05:32

can't do this because I'm out of

1:05:32

money. And, and you know,

1:05:35

we're still fucking joining.

1:05:36

Exactly, that's the whole

1:05:36

thing like this is so well

1:05:39

articulated. So well thought

1:05:39

out, that even though he did

1:05:44

kind of experience this, like

1:05:44

financial difficulty, literally,

1:05:49

from September 20 of 2010, we

1:05:49

jump over to September 21. He

1:05:56

then announces that a generous

1:05:56

donation is made, and may

1:06:00

continue the AR g in the near

1:06:00

future. This is how big the

1:06:04

community is. This is how well

1:06:04

lit the community was this

1:06:08

point?

1:06:08

Yeah. And that's what I'm

1:06:08

saying is it's not even the fact

1:06:10

that everyone's like, Oh, is

1:06:10

this real or not? You're just

1:06:12

telling such a great story.

1:06:12

People want the end of it the

1:06:15

writing? Yeah, it's a very well

1:06:15

immersed you get into it. It's

1:06:20

it's interactive. And everyone's

1:06:20

just like, yeah, we know there's

1:06:24

an AR g here's like, five bucks

1:06:24

fucking keep it going. Like this

1:06:27

is Yeah,

1:06:27

everyone's super

1:06:27

invested. And this you have to

1:06:30

remember, this is the original

1:06:30

haunted video game story.

1:06:36

I feel like there's this

1:06:36

like, perception that he knows

1:06:40

how much this means to people.

1:06:40

But I don't think he realizes

1:06:44

how much this fucking means to

1:06:44

people at the time. Hell no.

1:06:47

Maybe now. Yeah. This aarrg

1:06:47

literally has one of the biggest

1:06:53

pieces of my heart. Yep. In the

1:06:53

args because it just speaks to

1:06:59

my childhood so hard. And like,

1:06:59

I know the community is so well

1:07:04

like, rounded. But like, I wish

1:07:04

I could have been a part of

1:07:08

this. I wish I knew about this

1:07:08

when it was happening, like, you

1:07:12

don't think realizes how much

1:07:12

this means? I'm glad

1:07:15

I wasn't because I but I'm

1:07:15

glad I wasn't because I wouldn't

1:07:17

have appreciated it like I am now.

1:07:20

And fair enough.

1:07:20

Yeah. And it's still, I

1:07:20

mean, not spoilers for the

1:07:23

really thing, but it's still

1:07:23

kind of going on. To this day. I

1:07:28

mean, he, you know,

1:07:29

not that we're not sure

1:07:29

we're not sure if it's actually

1:07:32

gonna like continue forward on

1:07:32

is what you're trying to say?

1:07:34

Yeah,

1:07:35

yeah, it's one of those

1:07:35

things where we'll get down to

1:07:38

it, where it's kind of left open

1:07:38

ended. And in essence,

1:07:40

yeah, that's the beauty of it. Because if he

1:07:42

wants to fucking come

1:07:42

back to it, it's right here. And

1:07:45

he will say, we're gonna stop

1:07:45

fangirling about us being in

1:07:47

contact with the creator of this

1:07:47

energy, because we are all

1:07:51

absolutely fangirling over it.

1:07:51

But sorry,

1:07:55

Alex, if you want to do an

1:07:55

interview with us, we will

1:07:57

gladly do that. That's the last

1:07:57

thing I have to say.

1:08:00

I love you.

1:08:02

Mike will kiss your teeth.

1:08:02

And now he won't do that with

1:08:05

us. And so here we go. So I was

1:08:05

gonna say, we did announce that

1:08:10

on the day after the 21st he

1:08:10

announces a generous donation,

1:08:14

we don't know when the energy is

1:08:14

gonna start back up, we kind of

1:08:17

don't know what's gonna happen

1:08:17

in the future, we kind of just

1:08:20

have to wait. So that being

1:08:20

said, October 4 2010, we have a

1:08:27

ton of site changes that started

1:08:27

to happen. And users, because

1:08:32

the love of this fucking AR G,

1:08:32

they notice this, we start to

1:08:37

find all sorts of new clues in

1:08:37

the source code and ciphers

1:08:41

being hidden around the site.

1:08:41

This just absolutely blows

1:08:45

everyone's mind. And they're

1:08:45

like, Oh, shit, here we go. Like

1:08:48

we got to be ready. We start

1:08:48

seeing all these new things.

1:08:51

Let's get at it. So this is

1:08:51

October 4 of 2010. This is

1:08:57

collectively called the glitch

1:08:57

in the story. This is awesome. I

1:09:02

love this. I fucking love this.

1:09:02

So this leads users to find

1:09:08

someone called Rio khaki. badass

1:09:08

sorry, if I said your name wrong

1:09:13

to Ryo khaki, are you

1:09:13

cocky? Either way.

1:09:17

This is a really fun part

1:09:17

of the story. But because this

1:09:21

whole portion is not canon to

1:09:21

the storyline.

1:09:25

I'm not gonna go over it.

1:09:25

Which sucks because I agree.

1:09:28

This is one of the better portions.

1:09:31

This is a fun portion, but

1:09:31

it is not canon. And it is. Why

1:09:35

do you say there's a Canon

1:09:35

there's a lot of there's a lot

1:09:38

of different reasons why this is

1:09:38

not canon. And I will let Alex

1:09:42

be the determining factor of

1:09:42

that whole thing because if he

1:09:45

wants it to be canon, he would

1:09:45

have said that and it does not.

1:09:49

And I will not go over

1:09:50

like this. Like you guys

1:09:50

can't see him. He's like, he

1:09:54

like waving he's like on the

1:09:54

podium just like and I'm telling

1:09:57

you right now it is not a

1:09:57

candidate like bang And

1:10:01

my arms are going all over

1:10:01

the place right now because this

1:10:03

is like a pivotal point in the

1:10:03

story. But it has nothing to do

1:10:07

with anything.

1:10:07

It's a very interesting

1:10:07

read. Nonetheless, I would

1:10:10

recommend looking at it, take it

1:10:10

with a grain of salt, like

1:10:13

Doug's saying.

1:10:14

So that being said, we go

1:10:14

from October 4, where the glitch

1:10:18

in the game happens to November

1:10:18

2010. Is that I'm sorry?

1:10:24

Do you think the glitch

1:10:24

might have been like a reference

1:10:26

to the fourth day glitch from

1:10:26

the first arc?

1:10:30

See, I didn't even think of that until you just said that.

1:10:32

It's very possible but the

1:10:32

website never resets. So yeah,

1:10:36

after this, the website is just

1:10:36

what it is.

1:10:38

Well, at what the for the

1:10:38

fourth day glitch? That's when

1:10:41

everything truly starts to get

1:10:41

fucked up. And I wonder if the

1:10:45

glitch is supposed to be this

1:10:45

radio cocky character and that's

1:10:49

it was fucked up.

1:10:50

That's what I mean. Fucking awesome.

1:10:52

Yeah, that is really good.

1:10:52

Actually, I didn't even think

1:10:54

about so maybe he it might

1:10:54

not be canon. Or maybe you put

1:10:57

it in there to be not canon to

1:10:57

follow with the fourth day

1:11:00

glitch, right issue and some

1:11:03

Holy shit, Mike, you just

1:11:03

blew my fucking mind.

1:11:05

I learned. I'm doing this.

1:11:05

And we don't even know it until

1:11:09

we start talking to each other, which is

1:11:10

great. See, I have smooth

1:11:10

brain.

1:11:15

So I will say from about

1:11:15

November 2010. To about june of

1:11:21

2011. We get a whole bunch of

1:11:21

different like updates. And this

1:11:27

is where things kind of slow

1:11:27

down a little bit. So as I said,

1:11:33

we have this collective glitch

1:11:33

in the story. But we also have

1:11:37

this Ryo Kochi, who, essentially

1:11:37

game Jacks the energy,

1:11:43

I would honestly say he,

1:11:43

I think my final conclusion on

1:11:47

unreal cocky, ro khaki, whatever

1:11:47

is that he's

1:11:50

a game jacker. And I know

1:11:50

Alex kind of basically says,

1:11:54

Hey, yes, this is the thing that

1:11:54

happened. No, this is not a

1:11:58

Canon thing that happened. But

1:11:58

hey, it happened. So do what you

1:12:03

will with it Fosbury Lovecraft

1:12:03

of him. If you? Yeah, pretty

1:12:07

much. If you read through the

1:12:07

wiki, you'll know that this is

1:12:10

not a Canon portion of the

1:12:10

story. So that's why I'm not

1:12:13

going over it this way. Is the

1:12:13

story go two to three more hours

1:12:17

long. And we're not trying to do

1:12:17

that to you guys. We just want

1:12:20

to give you what is Canon and

1:12:20

what is pertinent to the story.

1:12:23

I will say it is very

1:12:23

interesting, though. So it is

1:12:26

peeking your interest. Go check

1:12:26

out reo khakis, posts and all

1:12:30

this changes. But again, not

1:12:30

can.

1:12:34

Yeah, so like I said, this

1:12:34

is when we get to November 2010,

1:12:40

to about June 2011 is kind of

1:12:40

where the rest of the story

1:12:43

takes place. This is when Alex

1:12:43

basically describes that he

1:12:48

wants to do some q&a is with

1:12:48

people. He uploads a few videos

1:12:51

here and there to the JD usable

1:12:51

account. Basically, the site was

1:12:56

ends up going password protected

1:12:56

for a while and can still

1:13:00

contains some weird things in

1:13:00

the source code that had people

1:13:03

kind of guessing like, Hey,

1:13:03

what's going on? Alex then

1:13:07

announces that he's going to be

1:13:07

making an actual game for the

1:13:10

energy. So he starts calling on

1:13:10

admins, he starts calling on all

1:13:15

these people to do all this

1:13:15

stuff. But there's a lot of

1:13:19

pushback of when the date this

1:13:19

will be available actually comes

1:13:24

out for. So you know, we hear

1:13:24

you know, I think he says like

1:13:28

the holiday. Like December

1:13:28

region, right? And then it gets

1:13:33

pushed back again. And coming

1:13:33

Christmas 2000.

1:13:38

A number

1:13:41

something, but basically,

1:13:41

yeah, he it keeps getting pushed

1:13:44

back and pushed back. And he

1:13:44

finally ends up having a q&a

1:13:49

with users that took place over

1:13:49

the course of an hour. This this

1:13:52

is fireside chat, basically,

1:13:52

yeah, you can find this online.

1:13:56

It's pretty cool.

1:13:57

It's a re upload more

1:13:57

than anything, because obviously

1:14:01

all this shit was taken down.

1:14:01

Due to the nature of the

1:14:05

content. This is more of like a

1:14:05

q&a to make sure that he knows

1:14:08

where he's going with it, making

1:14:08

sure that everyone that who's a

1:14:10

part of it, is getting what they

1:14:10

want out of it. Yeah. Which is

1:14:14

super smart on his part,

1:14:14

especially if you can literally

1:14:16

break into an AR g like this and

1:14:16

say like, pause.

1:14:21

Yeah. The community is

1:14:21

just like, Oh, this is fine.

1:14:25

Like we want us to continue.

1:14:25

We'll let you pause to give us

1:14:28

some like, Hey, here's what's

1:14:28

happening, right. But this is

1:14:32

the cool thing that happens. Not

1:14:32

only does he does the q&a, he

1:14:35

does this like q&a with people.

1:14:35

But he introduces within hubris,

1:14:41

which is almost a new forum for

1:14:41

users to start taking place on.

1:14:46

So once he does this, it

1:14:46

basically allowed users to

1:14:51

continue playing the game. He

1:14:51

then uploaded wayward horizon

1:14:56

within hubris as a new permanent

1:14:56

forum for which the group could

1:15:02

basically be logged into the

1:15:02

site and start continuing on

1:15:06

what Ben Brown was.

1:15:09

So actively made his own

1:15:09

goddamn Reddit,

1:15:11

basically, first,

1:15:11

specifically this Yeah,

1:15:14

yeah, his own subreddit,

1:15:16

it honestly goes way more

1:15:16

in depth than the way I'm

1:15:19

describing it. For the sake of

1:15:19

time.

1:15:24

Every action that was

1:15:24

associated with all of these

1:15:27

different pieces of information,

1:15:27

the more drunk we get, well,

1:15:31

we'd be blackout because this,

1:15:31

this one episode would be six

1:15:33

fucking hours long.

1:15:34

Yeah. But like I said, he

1:15:34

starts reaching out for mods and

1:15:38

people to finally get this ball

1:15:38

rolling again. And to no

1:15:42

surprise, it was followed up

1:15:42

with even more ciphers, even

1:15:45

more codes for the users to kind

1:15:45

of take part in. But it was

1:15:49

almost like the ciphers and

1:15:49

codes weren't really directly

1:15:53

related to the Ben drowns air.

1:15:53

It was kind of like, here's what

1:15:57

I'm doing. In the meantime,

1:15:57

here's what keeps you guys going

1:16:00

while I'm trying to figure out

1:16:00

what's going on with this

1:16:02

energy. So that being said, July

1:16:02

15 2011, Alex puts the game on

1:16:10

hiatus indefinitely. And it's

1:16:10

really sad because everything

1:16:14

was really, really cool. I know,

1:16:14

it was a whole lot of time, and

1:16:16

it probably required a whole lot

1:16:16

of fucking money. So I don't

1:16:19

blame him at all for doing this.

1:16:21

It's so in depth. It's so

1:16:21

involved. It's so amazing.

1:16:26

As is any good aarrg we

1:16:26

kind of get left on this note

1:16:31

where it doesn't kind of end up

1:16:31

going anywhere, which is really

1:16:34

sad, which is really sad. But we

1:16:34

cannot blame him for not having

1:16:39

the time to basically come in

1:16:43

touch with

1:16:46

common touch.

1:16:47

What did I do?

1:16:49

Gas Station basically could

1:16:53

touch a gas station. But yes.

1:17:02

Let me rewind. Oh, man,

1:17:09

I tried really hard. Go

1:17:09

ahead. Go. Basically he just

1:17:12

didn't have the funds in the

1:17:12

time to support his community

1:17:15

the way he wanted to. Which is

1:17:15

why I assume he put the game on

1:17:18

hiatus now. Yeah, sorry.

1:17:21

I don't want to cut you

1:17:21

cut me out. Okay, great, bitch.

1:17:24

No, I just mean like this is

1:17:24

what I meant earlier when I was

1:17:29

like it kind of leaves it like

1:17:29

like open ended because he was

1:17:33

given this these like donations

1:17:33

before to keep it going. At this

1:17:37

point, I feel I would feel

1:17:37

confident he would get another

1:17:40

donation or something to help me keep going again.

1:17:43

I agree. And but also,

1:17:43

there's only so much people can

1:17:46

donate to someone who's making a

1:17:46

full video game to this energy

1:17:51

is running a forum a website

1:17:53

on top of that, it this

1:17:53

is super underground, like all

1:17:57

even now. I mean, I will say

1:17:57

energies in it. Like all the

1:18:01

shit that we cover is that it's

1:18:01

gaining traction. Oh, yeah. But

1:18:04

it's still super super

1:18:04

underground. In 2011 this shit

1:18:10

was probably, you know, I don't

1:18:10

know. Four or 500 people knew

1:18:15

about it. I was

1:18:16

20 like, I was doing all

1:18:16

the dumb 20 year old shit at

1:18:21

that dude,

1:18:21

I had like I was in high school yet.

1:18:24

All my graduate. About

1:18:24

how old I am. I can't think

1:18:29

about when did you graduate?

1:18:29

High School?

1:18:32

Yeah. 2008 2009. Yeah. You

1:18:32

young bitch. Two years, three

1:18:39

years.

1:18:40

No two for you. Three, four, you

1:18:41

still have your youth Mike barely

1:18:44

crack,

1:18:44

you haven't cracked as the

1:18:44

30s yet.

1:18:47

Even cracked your third knee?

1:18:52

Literally every time I

1:18:52

bend down everything in my body

1:18:55

cracks, something

1:18:56

explodes. That's

1:18:56

horrible.

1:19:01

But that being said, Alex,

1:19:01

we really appreciate what you've

1:19:05

done. Like, seriously, like,

1:19:05

This energy is so fucking

1:19:09

phenomenal. But in 2011, he puts

1:19:09

it on hold. And that's where we

1:19:14

leave off. But he does have a

1:19:14

twitch channel, which nine

1:19:19

years,

1:19:20

nine years of the last

1:19:20

year.

1:19:22

So last year, we get a

1:19:22

randomly streamed twitch video

1:19:29

of some cryptic ass messages off

1:19:29

of his twitch channel. That we

1:19:35

are not sure if they are Canon

1:19:35

or not. Has twitch been around

1:19:39

that long?

1:19:40

Yes. Yeah. Really? Oh,

1:19:40

it didn't gain traction.

1:19:43

Yeah, I only really just

1:19:43

started hearing about the

1:19:46

popularity on Twitch maybe like

1:19:46

two years ago? Three years ago?

1:19:50

Yeah.

1:19:50

I'd say about five is

1:19:50

when it started. actually

1:19:53

getting big. Yeah, it's the zoom

1:19:53

of gamers.

1:19:55

Yeah, but that being said,

1:19:55

with these cryptic messages They

1:20:01

only lead us to our third

1:20:01

episode of the

1:20:07

three motherfuckers we're
