[00:01:00] Speaker C: Oh, wait, we're not supposed to number them anymore. [00:01:02] Speaker A: According to my notes, it's number 48. [00:01:04] Speaker B: That was two years ago when we decided. [00:01:06] Speaker A: Danny. [00:01:07] Speaker C: Two years ago when he lost his notes. [00:01:10] Speaker A: I don't remember asking your opinion of that. It's episode number 48, which means we're two episodes away from big five zero. The big 50. [00:01:17] Speaker B: The big five zero. [00:01:18] Speaker A: Yeah. What are we gonna do for that one? [00:01:19] Speaker B: I think. I think we're gonna. We talked about potentially doing another song, right? Wait. [00:01:24] Speaker A: Oh, we've already done it. You've been. You've been gone for a while. Oh, we have 17 songs since you've been gone. [00:01:30] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, we wrote them, composed them in about three minutes. [00:01:33] Speaker A: Yep.

Let's just leave it at that. We've got tab. [00:02:07] Speaker D: Hey. Hey. [00:02:08] Speaker A: And we have two very special guests in the studio tonight. Danny's mom. [00:02:15] Speaker C: Hello.

Jesse is not here. We're waiting to get him. Neither is Petey. [00:02:30] Speaker B: Should we say. Yeah, let's. Not in the studio. [00:02:32] Speaker A: Let's. Let's go over that. Let's go over that. Joey is not here. [00:02:36] Speaker B: Let's see. Joey, right? No, no Joey. He's not here. [00:02:40] Speaker A: He said he was going to be here. [00:02:42] Speaker B: He did. He did. [00:02:43] Speaker A: He, like, put forth good faith effort to say I'm going to be here. [00:02:46] Speaker B: What was the reason this time? [00:02:48] Speaker A: He's helping his stepson. Stepson move. [00:02:51] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [00:02:52] Speaker A: Which is kind of a lame excuse. And then there's Petey. [00:02:55] Speaker B: Petey. [00:02:56] Speaker A: Who also said he was going to be here. [00:02:58] Speaker B: He's all in. [00:02:58] Speaker A: Yeah, he's all in. [00:02:59] Speaker C: No guns. [00:03:00] Speaker A: Petey.

[00:03:25] Speaker B: We probably shouldn't after the shark attack. [00:03:27] Speaker A: Yeah, let's not talk about Dave, okay? Dave's buried deep somewhere in the Nevada. So it's been a year and a half since our last podcast. Year and a half. What have you been doing? [00:03:39] Speaker B: How are we doing in the ratings? [00:03:41] Speaker A: I haven't checked lately. Probably not well. Probably not well, Danny, because we haven't podcasted in a year and a half. [00:03:48] Speaker B: That's a thing. That's a thing that happens. [00:03:51] Speaker D: And we're missing, like, half our episode. [00:03:53] Speaker A: I know. [00:03:53] Speaker B: I noticed that in the Google Drive. They're gone. But then also on the streaming services. [00:03:58] Speaker A: Since we're talking about Danny, can we talk about the title of this podcast we're talking to? [00:04:03] Speaker D: Danny. I didn't know what we were talking about. [00:04:05] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:04:06] Speaker A: Well, I'm always talking about Danny. [00:04:07] Speaker B: What is the title of this? [00:04:09] Speaker A: This is Easter. So can I just. Can I pick a bone, Danny? [00:04:11] Speaker B: This is our Easter special. [00:04:13] Speaker A: Can I Pick a quick bone, Danny? [00:04:15] Speaker B: I feel like there's always a bone. [00:04:17] Speaker A: Danny. [00:04:17] Speaker B: Let's go ahead. Pick it away. [00:04:19] Speaker A: Okay, I'm gonna pick a quick bone. So, Danny. [00:04:22] Speaker B: Yes? [00:04:24] Speaker A: When you come up with podcast episodes every once in a while. [00:04:27] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:04:28] Speaker A: Once in a blue moon. You always pick something that ordinarily would be whimsical. [00:04:34] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:04:35] Speaker A: Like Christmas or, you know, some Disneyland or something fun and whimsical, and then you turn it into this dark, creepy plot twist. Coming Easter. Like, seriously, Easter? We're Northwest Curiosity Society, and you chose Easter. [00:04:49] Speaker B: We're curious about Easter. [00:04:50] Speaker A: I know, but then what movie did you ask us to watch? [00:04:54] Speaker C: Yeah, that's what this whole conversation. So Easter is steering towards the movie. [00:05:00] Speaker B: I want you to know I picked that movie for a very specific reason. [00:05:04] Speaker A: I hope you have a reason. I hope it's a good reason. [00:05:06] Speaker B: What is the main creature in that movie? [00:05:08] Speaker A: It is a jackal tap. Wouldn't know, because he didn't watch it, but. [00:05:17] Speaker C: Timeout. He watched it. It was just a different version. [00:05:21] Speaker B: Oh, Rob. [00:05:22] Speaker A: Rob was the one that fell asleep. [00:05:23] Speaker B: And in French. It was in French, too, this time. Was that. [00:05:27] Speaker A: So can we get back to the bone picking? [00:05:30] Speaker B: Yeah, let's do it. [00:05:31] Speaker A: Okay. [00:05:31] Speaker B: I'm just saying. [00:05:32] Speaker A: So, Danny. [00:05:33] Speaker B: Yes. [00:05:33] Speaker A: Easter. Right. What is the true meaning of Easter? [00:05:37] Speaker B: You want me to get into just. [00:05:38] Speaker A: Not the pagan stuff. What is the true meaning of Easter? [00:05:42] Speaker B: Getting eggs. I don't know. [00:05:44] Speaker A: I bet Danny's mom. Let me go to Danny's mom. Danny's mom looks like she can tell us the true meaning of Easter. [00:05:53] Speaker E: Ma'am, Easter is where we celebrate the rising of Jesus Christ. [00:05:58] Speaker A: Amen. That's what I said, Danny. [00:06:00] Speaker B: That's exactly what I said. [00:06:02] Speaker A: So. [00:06:02] Speaker C: Not quite. [00:06:03] Speaker A: Anyway, we'll see how your mom feels at the end of this episode, because I think it's gonna get dark. [00:06:11] Speaker B: It might be. [00:06:11] Speaker A: And I'm not. So I'm just throwing this disclaimer that I am not. I don't approve of this episode, much like I didn't approve of Krampus. [00:06:21] Speaker B: Angels and demons. [00:06:21] Speaker A: I did not. Angels and demons. I did not. See, everything you've picked has been take something good and make it scary, Dr. [00:06:30] Speaker B: Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and we'll talk. [00:06:31] Speaker A: About your movie pick a little bit later. [00:06:33] Speaker B: You enjoy Grimm's Fairy Tales? I feel like your story was very energetic. [00:06:38] Speaker A: That was okay. But. But it wasn't taking something, you know. [00:06:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:42] Speaker A: Good and positive. I mean, Grimm's Fairy Tales was creepy to begin with. It was just disturbing. [00:06:48] Speaker B: But not the new. [00:06:49] Speaker A: That was. That was a disturbing topic. So I knew what I was getting into in regards to that disturbing topic. But Easter, like, threw me. It threw. It's like throwing a curveball at me. [00:06:58] Speaker B: Maybe there's a curveball, too, because I. [00:06:59] Speaker A: Want to talk about the baby Jesus, and we're talking about, like, jackalopes that rip people's heads off. [00:07:05] Speaker B: Well, here's the convenient thing. We all did our own research, right? [00:07:09] Speaker A: Sure we did, Tab. [00:07:12] Speaker D: Yeah, I didn't watch that. [00:07:14] Speaker A: I'm sorry. [00:07:15] Speaker D: Movie. [00:07:15] Speaker B: But you researched Easter, though, right? [00:07:17] Speaker A: Right. [00:07:17] Speaker D: I didn't watch that either, but research. [00:07:20] Speaker A: You did your research, right? For the episode? [00:07:22] Speaker D: Sure. [00:07:23] Speaker B: Why don't we check in? Bob, what do you think about Easter? [00:07:25] Speaker A: It's okay. So I'm done with the bone picking. I'm throwing it out there that I do not agree with this episode. [00:07:33] Speaker B: Yeah, we haven't even. We haven't even talked about it yet. [00:07:36] Speaker A: Scaring Children at Christmas time. It's got to end, Danny. It's gotta. It's gotta stop. [00:07:42] Speaker B: Do you have your Krampus stick here still? I do the Birchwood somewhere. [00:07:46] Speaker A: I'm gonna beat you with it. [00:07:48] Speaker B: Okay, that wasn't in the. In the script. [00:07:50] Speaker A: So anything new? Anything new with the group? It's been a year and a half. We've been to New Orleans like five times. [00:07:57] Speaker D: You have? [00:07:58] Speaker A: Since our last. Yeah, no. You have trips? Anything? Anyone got anything new? New? New? [00:08:04] Speaker C: I took a trip out here on Saturday. Yeah, I mean, it is quite a trip. [00:08:09] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:09] Speaker A: Yeah. Right. I have to pack a lunch. [00:08:12] Speaker C: When I come. [00:08:12] Speaker A: We're not going to name the town, but it's. It's a ways to do. Yeah. It's a ways from. From Portland. [00:08:17] Speaker C: It's. Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:08:20] Speaker A: Anybody? [00:08:22] Speaker B: I don't really have any. [00:08:24] Speaker A: It's been a year and a half. [00:08:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:26] Speaker A: Oh, I got something new. [00:08:28] Speaker B: Okay. [00:08:28] Speaker A: We're in a new studio. [00:08:29] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Yeah. [00:08:31] Speaker C: That's the whole point I was talking about. [00:08:33] Speaker A: Okay, first episode. Number 48 in the new studio or. [00:08:37] Speaker B: 8 in the new studio. [00:08:39] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:08:40] Speaker D: We're gonna have to soundproof this. [00:08:41] Speaker A: It's. It's larger, it's not cold. And I don't think it's haunted like the last one. [00:08:46] Speaker B: We can turn on the spirit box. [00:08:47] Speaker D: It doesn't have. [00:08:48] Speaker C: We don't have to worry about the floor. It doesn't caving in. [00:08:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:08:51] Speaker D: Strange smells. [00:08:51] Speaker B: Where's the spirit box? [00:08:53] Speaker A: No, your mom said. Hell no. Hell no. [00:08:58] Speaker C: With that face you did. [00:08:59] Speaker B: Yeah, I think. [00:09:01] Speaker A: Okay, so nothing new with the group. That's going to be a really short episode. I mean, I feel like Rob got a new motorcycle. [00:09:08] Speaker C: Oh, well, yeah, I got rear ended in 2022. Yeah. [00:09:12] Speaker B: Did they ever catch. [00:09:13] Speaker C: No, no, no. It just didn't ride the same. And this one's much better. [00:09:18] Speaker A: Thank you for keeping that. Did they ever catch the drive nutshell version? [00:09:22] Speaker C: No, no. I only got partial plate and like a Jeep or something. [00:09:27] Speaker B: That sucks. [00:09:28] Speaker C: That's it. Yeah. [00:09:29] Speaker B: Darn it.

Time out. The girls don't know we have an international following. [00:10:35] Speaker A: We do, we do. [00:10:36] Speaker B: We do. [00:10:37] Speaker C: Where was it? [00:10:37] Speaker A: We're pretty big in Greenland. [00:10:39] Speaker C: No, no, where was it at? Really? [00:10:41] Speaker A: Yeah, I. I would have to look it up. [00:10:42] Speaker F: Japan. Oh, wait, that's the other side. [00:10:45] Speaker C: No, there. We had a couple. We had a couple in Germany and we had some in Canada. [00:10:52] Speaker B: This Canada count is international. [00:10:53] Speaker A: I think those were probably un. You know, mistake clicks. [00:10:57] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:58] Speaker A: They were trying to click on another podcast. It's like, you know. Yeah. Rated. [00:11:04] Speaker B: So, Danny, Southwest Curiosity Society. [00:11:06] Speaker A: Yeah. Our competition. Yeah. Those darn Irish guys, right? [00:11:13] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:11:15] Speaker A: Okay. Danny. [00:11:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:11:16] Speaker A: What do you got, Easter? [00:11:17] Speaker B: What do I got? I got a script here I'm gonna read for you guys, so that's good. [00:11:22] Speaker A: I've got a campfire story for a little bit later. [00:11:24] Speaker B: I gotta turn this. [00:11:25] Speaker C: His mom is ominously looking over him. [00:11:29] Speaker A: I would have a hard time with that. I. Let me tell you, Danny's mom. I could not podcast with my mom in the studio. I couldn't do it. [00:11:41] Speaker D: Yeah, Danny, that's pretty brave. [00:11:43] Speaker B: It's a little awkward. Yeah. She's my ride back, so watch the F bombs. [00:11:48] Speaker A: Danny. [00:11:48] Speaker B: Yeah. You know me. [00:11:50] Speaker D: That mouth. [00:11:52] Speaker B: Okay, well, as we've kind of intimated, or maybe overtly said, when most of us think about Easter, we think about what? Pastel colors, Chocolate bunnies. [00:12:03] Speaker A: Yeah. Hiding eggs, the baby Jesus. [00:12:05] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:12:05] Speaker B: All of those things. But. But underneath that, there's a far older and much stranger story. [00:12:13] Speaker A: Stranger story. [00:12:15] Speaker B: Did you know that we might need some ominous. [00:12:18] Speaker A: I didn't know that because I go to church and I didn't. We were never. We were never told that. We were never told that other side of the story. But I would. [00:12:28] Speaker B: Let me give you a little bit. [00:12:29] Speaker A: But I would. I would venture to say that you're going to tell us what the darker side. [00:12:32] Speaker C: When was the last time you went to church, Scott? [00:12:34] Speaker A: We went to church here. [00:12:35] Speaker C: When? [00:12:37] Speaker A: At the Blank Baptist. [00:12:39] Speaker C: The Blank here. [00:12:40] Speaker A: I don't want to say the name of the town, but sk. [00:12:43] Speaker B: Just say skidoo. [00:12:44] Speaker F: We went like a Year ago. [00:12:45] Speaker C: Oh, a year ago. Okay, well, that's like 15 years. [00:12:49] Speaker A: Anyway, sooner than I. Again, we're getting off track. This is what happens. Our. Our one fan or only fan. Hey, hey, hey, hey. [00:12:58] Speaker C: Who has only f it? [00:13:00] Speaker A: Keep to the topic. [00:13:01] Speaker B: Our singular fan. So. [00:13:03] Speaker A: So listen, I'm going to do something. [00:13:05] Speaker B: Here real quick before break it down. [00:13:06] Speaker A: Too deep into the. The podcast. [00:13:08] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:13:08] Speaker A: So we are two guests. Anytime that we get off track, could you just raise your hand? [00:13:14] Speaker C: We're. We're always. [00:13:15] Speaker A: And. And then they're up right now. [00:13:17] Speaker D: They're up right now. [00:13:19] Speaker A: Here, here's a pen. [00:13:21] Speaker B: So you. [00:13:21] Speaker A: If you guys could just keep track. Yeah, so that way at the end. Yeah, just like put a one, a two, a three, a four, and then put your hands up. And then this way. See, we have. We have guests here who will be able to tell us at the end of the podcast how off track we actually got. [00:13:38] Speaker D: Wait, please note the time. Where's our. [00:13:41] Speaker B: Where's the trophy? [00:13:42] Speaker A: It's right here. [00:13:43] Speaker B: Right here, right in the middle of the table. So. [00:13:46] Speaker A: So, yeah, that's the other thing. So you guys are going to have a huge task. Danny's mom, Trisha. You guys are going to have a huge task because not. Hey, did you read it? Not only do you guys have to count track of how many times we get off track, but who gets us off track the most? [00:14:03] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:14:04] Speaker A: And then whoever gets us off track the most gets that trophy at the end of the show. [00:14:09] Speaker B: What trophy is it, Scott? [00:14:10] Speaker A: It's the horse's ass participation trophy. That was a gift from Dan Bird. Your son sent us that. Danny's mom. [00:14:22] Speaker C: Just so you know the expression her expressions are awesome. [00:14:27] Speaker B: I made an observation. [00:14:28] Speaker A: I think by the end of this podcast, your mom's gonna have a whole new image of you. [00:14:32] Speaker F: I think he's gonna get. [00:14:33] Speaker A: Okay, I'm sorry. So we got off track. [00:14:35] Speaker B: So that's one for Scott. [00:14:36] Speaker A: Danny, go ahead. [00:14:37] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:14:40] Speaker A: Well, sometimes when I say hold up, and I try to keep it on track, but then it gets off track. But that's not always me that gets it off track. Okay, well, they're raising the hands. [00:14:52] Speaker B: We'll let them figure it out. [00:14:53] Speaker A: Yeah, they're raising the hands. Okay, back to Danny. [00:14:56] Speaker B: So long before this was a Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Christ, it may have been tied to an ancient pagan festival. Allegedly. You see celebrations of rebirth, fertility, and the return of the afterlife. Or the harsh winters. Right. Coming out of the harsh winters was a time of growth and thriving. Allegedly. The earliest clue comes from an 8th century English monk named Venerable Bede, apparently. Pleasure. And. And he wrote in. The Anglo Saxons once dedicated the month of April to the goddess Istro. [00:15:40] Speaker A: Ray, I have a question. [00:15:41] Speaker B: Hang on. Let me try it again. East story. [00:15:44] Speaker A: I have a question. [00:15:44] Speaker B: Okay. [00:15:45] Speaker C: Easter egg. [00:15:45] Speaker A: What is an Anglo Saxon? [00:15:47] Speaker B: An Anglo Saxon is a person. Oh, that is from Anglo. [00:15:54] Speaker A: Okay. [00:15:55] Speaker B: Saxons. [00:15:56] Speaker A: Awesome. Is. So, technically. Are we getting off track if I ask a question? [00:16:03] Speaker D: Yes, you are. [00:16:04] Speaker C: Absolutely. [00:16:04] Speaker B: A clarifying question. [00:16:06] Speaker C: Go ahead. [00:16:06] Speaker D: Interruption. [00:16:07] Speaker C: Go ahead. [00:16:07] Speaker A: No. [00:16:08] Speaker C: Oh, wait. [00:16:09] Speaker D: We need an interruption. [00:16:11] Speaker A: Oh, was that. [00:16:13] Speaker B: Was it four Hands up? [00:16:14] Speaker D: Okay, so far on the sheet, I only see your name. Scott. [00:16:19] Speaker A: I'm turning my mic off. Please, Danny, go ahead. [00:16:22] Speaker B: All right, go ahead. According to Bede, people held festivals in her honor celebrating new life and renewal. But here's where it gets weird. If it wasn't weird already, here's where it gets weird. Bede is the only historical figure to have mentioned her. Only person that mentioned her. No other ancient text comes or confirms her existence. So was historic real? Was she a real goddess of lost to history? Or did Bead invent her in a way to explain old traditions? Regardless, the symbols we associate with Easter today, like Easter, eggs, rabbits, baby Jesus, make a lot more sense in the. In a pagan context. Eggs have symbolized life and creation across cultures for thousands of years. And rabbits. They've been fertility symbols since ancient times, known for their, well, rapid ability to procreate. Procreate, Reproduce. Over time, Christianity spread across Europe. Early church leaders often absorbed local pagan traditions into Christian holidays. Made converting people easier. Instead of banning spring festivals, they rebranded them. And so this is a big marketing scheme is what we're saying. Do you think Brax had anything to do with it? Oh, sorry. That's not. Okay. [00:17:48] Speaker C: No. [00:17:48] Speaker A: Oh, no. [00:17:49] Speaker D: Danny's name is on the list now. [00:17:52] Speaker C: Scott's raising his hand again. [00:17:54] Speaker B: Scott, go ahead. [00:17:56] Speaker A: No, I'm foul. [00:17:58] Speaker B: Oh, sorry. [00:17:59] Speaker C: I thought you were expecting. [00:18:00] Speaker B: And so what may have once been a wild, earthy celebration of a forgotten goddess became Easter as we know it today. So next time you see chocolate bunnies die an egg, just remember, you might be participating in a ritual older and far stranger and far more mysterious than you realized. But let me give you a little bit more flavor to that, okay? [00:18:24] Speaker A: Put a little stank on it. [00:18:25] Speaker B: You see, because, of course, not everyone. Not everyone agree. This version of history. So some scholars argue that the connection between. [00:18:33] Speaker A: You don't have to be a scholar to disagree with that. I disagree. [00:18:36] Speaker B: Well, you know, scholars are. Does that count? [00:18:39] Speaker A: How long? How long? How Long have the pagans been around before the baby Jesus? Like, I don't. I don't buy it. [00:18:45] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:18:46] Speaker A: I don't buy it. [00:18:47] Speaker B: I'm just. I'm just letting you know. Some scholars argue that the connection between Easter and pagan traditions might be overstated or even a little bit romanticized over time. The biggest challenge to the historic theory that beat our source of her existence, the only source of her existence lived over 700 years after the alleged celebration of the pagans. There you go, Scott. [00:19:14] Speaker A: Keyword, alleged. [00:19:16] Speaker B: Alleged. Right. Would have happened. So there's no archaeological evidence, no surviving myths, no temples, nothing but a single mention of in his writing. Others suggest that the word Easter might not come from the goddess at all, but from old Germanic words related to the dawn or east, symbolizing new light and new beginnings. So what do you guys think? Is Easter a pagan tradition? [00:19:45] Speaker C: Perverted. [00:19:46] Speaker A: I think it's blasphemy. Amen. [00:19:51] Speaker B: Or. Well, give me some. Give me some. Give me some background on this. What do you. Why are you thinking what you think? [00:19:56] Speaker D: What about the consumer side of things? [00:19:58] Speaker C: Oh, absolutely. [00:19:59] Speaker B: That's what I'm saying. Maybe it was a marketing scheme by Totally Rocks Candy or something. [00:20:04] Speaker D: The whole idea of Santa Claus and the way he looks is because of Coca Cola. [00:20:09] Speaker B: Yeah, see, there you go. [00:20:11] Speaker D: Yeah, it's all marketing. [00:20:15] Speaker A: So I'm going to decline to participate in this segment. [00:20:19] Speaker B: Are you declining because you didn't do. [00:20:20] Speaker A: Research where you can actually, I did research. [00:20:24] Speaker B: Okay. [00:20:25] Speaker A: I. I did. [00:20:26] Speaker D: He's protesting. [00:20:27] Speaker A: All right, so I'm. I'm not gonna be able to. [00:20:30] Speaker B: I'm curious. [00:20:31] Speaker A: I'm not gonna be able to, you know, put forth my research that I did because I'm protesting because I did research two streets. [00:20:39] Speaker B: How organ of you. [00:20:40] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, I. I just. I just don't want to take Easter and make it creepy, so. [00:20:47] Speaker B: I'm not making it creepy. I'm just stating a position and asking for input. Yeah, Rob. [00:20:53] Speaker C: No, I agree that it's commercialized for sure, just like any other holiday. [00:20:58] Speaker B: But how did it start? [00:21:00] Speaker C: I don't know if it was some peeps. [00:21:04] Speaker A: Peeps where it all started. [00:21:07] Speaker B: Where do they fit in? [00:21:08] Speaker A: Do you love peeps? Who doesn't love peeps? [00:21:11] Speaker C: If you eat a peeps, do you. [00:21:14] Speaker A: Know they have a Dr. Pepper Flavored Peep? [00:21:16] Speaker B: I can only tolerate like one or two peeps. That's. [00:21:18] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. I'm like. When I'm in the peeps, I'm all in. [00:21:22] Speaker B: Yeah, like, like. [00:21:23] Speaker A: Yeah, it comes in a pack of six. [00:21:26] Speaker D: Oh. [00:21:26] Speaker A: I'm like, hey, puts all of them in. [00:21:28] Speaker F: No, roast them on the campfire, too. [00:21:30] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, jeez, they're not very good. Roast on the campfire. [00:21:34] Speaker B: That's interesting. [00:21:35] Speaker A: Speaking of campfire, I have a campfire story later. [00:21:37] Speaker B: Yeah, Yeah, I can't wait. I want to hear your positions on Easter, though. Was it a pagan hol. I think we interrupted you. [00:21:45] Speaker C: I. I don't. I don't think it was a pagan holiday. I think it was. I mean, I don't know. I don't have the history books, but, you know, Google. [00:21:54] Speaker A: Maybe you should have done your research. [00:21:55] Speaker B: What did Google say? [00:21:58] Speaker C: Yeah, what did Google? I. I focused on my tasks at hand. [00:22:03] Speaker A: I went to the library. [00:22:04] Speaker B: This is. This is. I'm going to pull a. Scott. It says group discussion. Yes. [00:22:11] Speaker C: When we're talking about it. I keep on getting interrupted. How many does Scott have? [00:22:17] Speaker A: When did I inter. [00:22:19] Speaker C: Every single time. [00:22:20] Speaker A: I didn't interrupt you. [00:22:22] Speaker C: You have all but one. [00:22:23] Speaker A: Anyway, back on track. Rob, focus. [00:22:27] Speaker C: I do not believe it was from some pagan mumbo jumbo. I believe it was from Christ Rising. [00:22:36] Speaker A: I think you should ask your mom. I think you should ask your mom, Danny. [00:22:39] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:22:41] Speaker C: Three days. I just want to say it's Palm Sunday, too, by the way. [00:22:48] Speaker B: Today is. [00:22:48] Speaker C: Yes. [00:22:50] Speaker A: Amen to the baby Jesus. [00:22:51] Speaker B: Next Friday is Good Friday. [00:22:53] Speaker C: Yes. [00:22:55] Speaker B: See, I know something, Mother. What say you? Where did Easter come from? No pressure. [00:23:07] Speaker E: I'll read this. [00:23:08] Speaker B: Okay. [00:23:09] Speaker A: All right. [00:23:10] Speaker E: Easter's origins are a blend of Christian commemorative and pre Christian pagan traditions. Christians celebrate Easter as the resurrection of Jesus Christ. [00:23:20] Speaker A: Amen. [00:23:21] Speaker E: Pivotal event in their faith. The name Easter itself may have roots in, as Danny stated, the Anglo Saxon goddess. [00:23:29] Speaker B: Whoa. [00:23:30] Speaker A: Mayhem. [00:23:32] Speaker E: A deity associated with spring and fertility whose festival coincided with the spring equinox. Over time, some pagan customers. Sorry. Some pagan customs associated with Estra's festival, like egg decorating, became incorporated into the Christian Easter celebrations. [00:23:54] Speaker D: I wonder what year that was. [00:23:56] Speaker B: Yeah. How about that hogwash. How about that hogwash? [00:24:02] Speaker C: What's your. You got it. [00:24:04] Speaker B: You can't just say hogwash, say hogwash and not participate. [00:24:08] Speaker C: Yes, let's get. Get. Get some input here. We want to hear some input from you. [00:24:13] Speaker B: The sky is blue. I don't believe it. It's not real. [00:24:17] Speaker C: Hogwash. [00:24:18] Speaker A: I call. [00:24:23] Speaker B: Was that the recording, or did you just make a new one? [00:24:25] Speaker A: No, I tried to find the recording. I had to try to make it sound like. I call it. [00:24:31] Speaker C: We have a bunch of recordings from past episodes and we have. [00:24:34] Speaker B: What the what? What the what? [00:24:36] Speaker C: Quite a Few funny ones. Tractor. [00:24:39] Speaker B: Tractor. [00:24:40] Speaker D: That one goes way back. [00:24:41] Speaker A: If you say tractor beam one more time during this podcast. [00:24:44] Speaker F: The whole group's getting them work. [00:24:48] Speaker B: Oh, I have to go first. Yeah, I have to go first. [00:24:51] Speaker C: That was one of the recordings. [00:24:52] Speaker A: All right. Anybody else have anything on Easter? [00:24:54] Speaker C: Wait, we didn't get tabs in. [00:24:56] Speaker A: I know. That's what I'm saying. Anyone else? [00:24:58] Speaker B: I did. I. [00:24:59] Speaker D: But in my consumer. [00:25:00] Speaker C: Okay. [00:25:00] Speaker A: Oh, what was. As far as the research. [00:25:02] Speaker D: But what about your research? [00:25:04] Speaker A: Scott? [00:25:04] Speaker D: Really? Let's get to the brass tacks here. [00:25:06] Speaker A: No, I Honestly. [00:25:07] Speaker D: Honestly. [00:25:08] Speaker A: You're deflecting. You're deflecting. [00:25:10] Speaker D: You said you are deflecting. [00:25:12] Speaker C: I call it Hogwarts. [00:25:13] Speaker A: You said you did research. I could play it back. [00:25:20] Speaker C: Okay, moving on. [00:25:23] Speaker B: No wait. I've yet to hear. [00:25:25] Speaker D: Yeah. What about Rob. [00:25:26] Speaker B: A counterpoint. I heard Rob tab. [00:25:29] Speaker A: What do you say? [00:25:29] Speaker B: Kinda. [00:25:30] Speaker A: Oh boy. All right.

[00:26:20] Speaker B: Because you. [00:26:21] Speaker D: Because you go there. [00:26:22] Speaker A: That was clearly. [00:26:23] Speaker D: You go there like twice a year.

[00:28:28] Speaker A: My head was turned. I want to know who said no. [00:28:30] Speaker B: I'm refusing to participate. [00:28:34] Speaker D: I say it's a dolphin. [00:28:35] Speaker B: I. Ooh. No, it's a killer whale. [00:28:39] Speaker A: It's not a dolphin. [00:28:40] Speaker B: I'm gonna go killer whale. It's a dolphin. Whale. Killer whale. [00:28:45] Speaker D: It's a marine. It's a.

[00:28:54] Speaker B: I think it's a killer whale. Final answer. [00:28:57] Speaker F: I think it's killer bunny. [00:28:58] Speaker C: Okay, so I will say it's not a manufactured sound. It is an animal. [00:29:04] Speaker B: It's organic. [00:29:06] Speaker C: That does not. [00:29:07] Speaker A: Is it the jackalope? The elusive jackalope? [00:29:10] Speaker C: No. [00:29:10] Speaker B: Does it live in the sea? [00:29:12] Speaker C: No. [00:29:13] Speaker A: Does it live in a. [00:29:15] Speaker C: It does not live in the sea. [00:29:16] Speaker A: Gas station restroom. [00:29:19] Speaker B: Do you remember that gas station restroom in Reno? [00:29:23] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:24] Speaker C: I'll play it again.

[00:35:42] Speaker B: Some explaining to do. Yeah, well, I don't. [00:35:44] Speaker C: Look, I. I think we should let Danny go last. Like he. He does really good movie reviews. [00:35:49] Speaker A: I. Well, yeah. I don't have much to say. [00:35:53] Speaker C: You don't have much to say this episode at all. [00:35:56] Speaker A: I'm trying to keep points. [00:35:57] Speaker C: We can't even talk normally. [00:35:59] Speaker B: It's on topic, though. You can. You can talk about the movie. It's on topic. [00:36:02] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:36:03] Speaker A: I'm trying to be. Not Mr. Interrupt us. So I get that. [00:36:06] Speaker C: I will say I'll go first then. So I will say I got distracted quite a bit through this movie because it is a. I don't know, C. D movie. Not even a B. Not even a B movie. [00:36:18] Speaker B: It's called campy. You say campy when it's movie. [00:36:22] Speaker C: Okay, yeah, Campy. [00:36:24] Speaker D: Campy. [00:36:25] Speaker B: Yes, Campy. Does that mean. [00:36:26] Speaker C: Does that mean cheap in the movie? [00:36:28] Speaker B: It's like, you know, think of the cheesiest movie you ever seen, and it's got a following behind it. Right? Rocky Horror Picture Show. Right? It's campy. [00:36:35] Speaker C: Okay. Yeah, it was. It was very, very, very campy. [00:36:41] Speaker D: Now, now. [00:36:42] Speaker B: It wasn't your jam. [00:36:46] Speaker C: You know. Full confession. I didn't watch until last night when all three of us watched it together. And even, even, even Trisha was so intrigued by it, she came and joined us. I wouldn't have chosen to watch this on my own. [00:37:02] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, that's fair. [00:37:06] Speaker C: It was on topic of today's episode. [00:37:09] Speaker D: I think it's about the only movie that's supposedly scary. [00:37:13] Speaker C: I will give you. I will give you extra points for including a jackalope. [00:37:17] Speaker B: Yes, yes. Thank you. Thank you. I figured you guys would appreciate that. [00:37:21] Speaker C: I did like that portion of it, but yeah, the acting at the beginning of the movie, everybody had this hard, fake, redneck Texas accent. But by the end of the movie, it wasn't very. [00:37:42] Speaker B: It lightened up a bit. [00:37:43] Speaker C: Yeah, quite a bit. [00:37:45] Speaker B: They moved further north. [00:37:46] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:37:47] Speaker D: Like California. [00:37:49] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. But, you know, there was a middle. There was a beginning, a middle and an end. So there was that. [00:38:00] Speaker B: Yeah, good talk. [00:38:02] Speaker C: Yeah, that's it. [00:38:05] Speaker B: Well, and you guys know, of course, it was a low budget film, right? [00:38:10] Speaker C: For sure. [00:38:10] Speaker B: I want you to know, by the way, there are. Oh, yeah, there are multiple Easter horror movies to choose from out there. [00:38:19] Speaker D: Are there really? [00:38:19] Speaker B: There are more than you would have think. [00:38:21] Speaker D: And that was the best of the bunch, do you think? [00:38:23] Speaker B: Well, I chose that for a specific reason. [00:38:26] Speaker C: I like. I like the jacket. [00:38:28] Speaker B: They replaced the rabbit with the jackalope in this movie. A little bit of creative license, but. [00:38:35] Speaker D: I know how to attract a jackalope now. [00:38:38] Speaker A: Whiskey. [00:38:41] Speaker B: That's the way to do it. That's the way to do it. I need an adult. [00:38:46] Speaker C: I need an adult. [00:38:48] Speaker B: But yeah, low budget film. It's kind of campy. So here's. Here's the thing. I like some of those horror movies. Like I mentioned. Toxic Toxic Crusader. You ever seen any of those? [00:38:58] Speaker A: No. [00:38:59] Speaker B: Cheesy movies? [00:39:00] Speaker A: No. [00:39:00] Speaker B: Critters. You ever see Critters? [00:39:02] Speaker D: I've heard of it. [00:39:03] Speaker C: I've heard of Critters. [00:39:04] Speaker B: Puppet master. [00:39:05] Speaker A: No. [00:39:06] Speaker D: Heard of it. [00:39:07] Speaker B: Hellraiser. [00:39:08] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, Heard of it. [00:39:10] Speaker C: Hellraiser. [00:39:11] Speaker D: Hellraiser. Now that's the one with the. Those porcupine faces, right? [00:39:14] Speaker B: Yes, yes. Yeah. Well, I wouldn't say like. [00:39:16] Speaker A: I would say that's a low budget movie. [00:39:19] Speaker B: Yeah. They evolved from where it was originally. The 80s. You know, first versions, but then there's like seven. [00:39:25] Speaker A: I don't know. I think comparing this to the Hellraiser, that's fair. I don't think so. [00:39:30] Speaker B: I don't think this was on par with, in fact, the Clown Motel. [00:39:33] Speaker A: Yeah, I was just gonna say absolutely. I think Clown Motel was an Academy Award winning movie. Aside from this. [00:39:41] Speaker B: Wow. [00:39:42] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:39:42] Speaker B: Wow. [00:39:43] Speaker D: You know, when you watch a movie that's B rated and you're using your teen eyes and you go back with your adult eyes, you're like, is this the same movie I watched as a teenager? [00:39:54] Speaker B: Right. [00:39:54] Speaker D: No way. Would I ever watch that? [00:39:56] Speaker A: Just like Dukes of Hazzard. [00:39:57] Speaker D: Yeah, well, sure. [00:39:59] Speaker A: Well, the Dukes of Hazzard was the best show ever. [00:40:02] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:40:03] Speaker A: And then you watch it as an. [00:40:03] Speaker B: Adult, you're like, wow, until Knight Rider. [00:40:06] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:40:08] Speaker B: Yeah. I'm just saying it's a low budget. [00:40:10] Speaker A: So what you're saying, Tab, is, is that you. You can look and see how things were really dumb looking through different eyes, but you look at this right away and see how dumb it is. [00:40:19] Speaker D: Right. But how would I have viewed this movie as a teenager would I've thought it as. [00:40:25] Speaker A: Thought it was great. Probably not. I don't know. [00:40:28] Speaker D: It's hard to go back. [00:40:30] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:40:31] Speaker B: Well, let me tell you, though, that I'm pretty sure this movie came out in, like, 2018. It's not an old movie. [00:40:41] Speaker C: It seemed like a very old movie. [00:40:44] Speaker B: But it had that feel of kind of that, you know, nostalgic kind of campy, cheesy. [00:40:49] Speaker A: Was there any. Did it win any awards or anything? [00:40:51] Speaker B: No, no, no. It got 75% on rotten tomatoes, though. [00:40:54] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:40:55] Speaker D: Really? That's 75. [00:40:57] Speaker B: Pretty good. [00:40:57] Speaker D: That is really good, actually. [00:40:58] Speaker B: Cult classic, maybe? Maybe. [00:41:01] Speaker D: So is it under a category, then? I mean, as far as far as their grading, it's like, oh, well, is it for campy films? I gotta say. You know what I mean? [00:41:11] Speaker B: I think they classified it as like a horror comedy film with a lot of gore. But I agree the acting was a little cheesy, but again, it was a low budget. Oh, wow. So this movie's not even an. It's just over a year old, by the way. Came out May 26th of 2024. Wow. So there you go. It's about a $500 budget. [00:41:37] Speaker A: I didn't really understand why they felt compelled to have it in Texas when clearly it wasn't. Clearly was California. [00:41:48] Speaker D: It would have been fine if it was in California. [00:41:49] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:41:50] Speaker D: It didn't have to be Southern thing. [00:41:51] Speaker A: And then they wouldn't have to try so hard with those fake Southern accents and. [00:41:55] Speaker B: Yeah. Takes away from the mystique, though, in how many Jackal. If you think Jackalope, would you think California or Texas? [00:42:02] Speaker A: Oregon. [00:42:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I think Texas. [00:42:07] Speaker D: I'm staring at one right. Right now. [00:42:08] Speaker B: Yeah, there's. [00:42:09] Speaker D: There's one on our wall. [00:42:11] Speaker B: That was a hell of a catch. [00:42:12] Speaker A: Yeah, I've got a. I've got a campfire story about that. You're just coming up here just a little bit. Yeah, well. Well, my. My big goofy headphones keep hitting my microphone. I need to find It See, there's a sweet spot here. [00:42:27] Speaker B: The microphone keeps moving. I see it. [00:42:28] Speaker A: Can't seem to find a sweet spot without hitting my head on the headphones. [00:42:34] Speaker B: It's okay. We'll edit it out. [00:42:36] Speaker A: That technically wasn't an interruption. It was an observation. [00:42:39] Speaker B: So what do you guys think? What's. Are you recommending this movie? [00:42:43] Speaker A: I recommend you don't watch it. [00:42:47] Speaker B: Don't watch it? Why not? [00:42:49] Speaker A: Take that, you dirty bastard. Like, it was so stupid. [00:42:55] Speaker B: If you want to get. If you want to get into the Easter spirit, what better way to do it than with a nice watch of Easter. Bloody Easter on Tubi. [00:43:07] Speaker D: I just don't recommend it. [00:43:12] Speaker A: I can't recommend it. [00:43:13] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Okay. [00:43:15] Speaker A: We can save the listeners a lot of heartache. [00:43:18] Speaker D: Just say, maybe we should just change the Trish segment to what'd you think, Trish? [00:43:23] Speaker A: What? [00:43:23] Speaker D: Movies not to watch. [00:43:24] Speaker F: Thumbs down. No, we have other things to do with our time. [00:43:28] Speaker B: But now you can say you've seen it and you can be like, you know what? I got a movie for you. Somebody's gonna ask you, Hey, I got a movie for you, Bob Easter. [00:43:41] Speaker D: You can suggest it to your enemies. [00:43:43] Speaker B: Yeah, all right. Well, maybe it's better than. [00:43:48] Speaker F: Maybe next time, Dan. [00:43:49] Speaker B: It's better than Annabelle, I guess. What we watched. What did we watch? Annabelle. [00:43:53] Speaker D: Or was it Clown Motel? [00:43:55] Speaker B: Yeah, there wasn't a pig man in this one. [00:43:58] Speaker D: Ham man. [00:44:03] Speaker B: All right, you guys ready to move on? [00:44:08] Speaker C: I guess so. [00:44:09] Speaker A: God, this is gonna be an editing nightmare. You guys ready to move on? [00:44:14] Speaker C: I beep that out. [00:44:15] Speaker A: You guys ready for a campfire story? [00:44:17] Speaker D: I love how you did that, too. Totally missed the word. [00:44:20] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. Good job. [00:44:21] Speaker A: You guys ready for a campfire story? [00:44:23] Speaker B: Let's do it. [00:44:23] Speaker A: Oh, I can almost guarantee that the storyline of my campfire story is 10 times better than the movie we watched last night. Okay, just so when I'm reading this, just picture this as a movie, okay? And you're gonna be like, that would have been so much better of a movie than the movie we watched. [00:44:38] Speaker B: I'm gonna you to do the voices, though, so I can get the full immersion. [00:44:42] Speaker C: Okay. Do the intro. [00:44:46] Speaker A: So if it's like Danny in the story, I gotta talk like Danny. [00:44:48] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, that'd be great. [00:44:50] Speaker A: And if it's Tab, I gotta talk like Tab. Yeah, that's asking a lot. [00:44:54] Speaker B: And if it's Jesse, just drool a little bit. Hey, Beavis, I'm sitting in your chair. Jesse, by the way. [00:45:06] Speaker D: Hey. [00:45:09] Speaker C: Oh, wait, where's the intro? [00:45:10] Speaker B: Is this too loud? [00:45:12] Speaker C: Is this the intro or just the background? [00:45:14] Speaker D: The background. [00:45:14] Speaker A: This is the back of the campfire. [00:45:16] Speaker C: Don't we have a intro? [00:45:17] Speaker A: We don't have an intro for this. Oh, we're gonna have to come up with one. Okay, you hear the fire, but I. [00:45:21] Speaker D: Think that it's too loud. It needs to be brought down a little bit. [00:45:26] Speaker C: There you go. [00:45:26] Speaker A: I think you need to quit being so bossy. [00:45:29] Speaker D: Well, you don't want it interrupting you. [00:45:30] Speaker A: I know, but you're awfully bossy. [00:45:32] Speaker F: Okay, both of you. [00:45:33] Speaker B: All right, we have one check mark for the campfire sound. Campfire sound, one check mark. [00:45:38] Speaker A: Once upon a time, not too long ago, a group of self proclaimed adventurers who called themselves the Northwest Curiosity Society set out for a weekend camping trip to Mount Adams, deep in the Pacific Northwest. Their goal, find the elusive jackalope. That mythical antlered rabbit whispered about in late night taverns and truck stop bathrooms. But they would end up finding something far, far worse. There were eight of them, each unique in their own way. Jesse was a loudmouthed bully, always shoving people around and thinking he was the tougher guy. On the mountain tab was the hardcore skeptic. Jackalopes are just rabbits with birth defects. He would say that Rob, AKA Wreck It Rob, broke everything he touched, even his jackalope call horn, which he snapped in half only after only using one time. Scott jumped at shadows, even his own. Danny carried gumbo in his pocket and was always eating something. Once even a pine cone. [00:46:47] Speaker B: Whoops. [00:46:48] Speaker A: Joey. Well, he just smiled because he never had any idea what the fuck was going on. No one was sure if he was happy or just permanently confused. Petey had the worst luck of anyone alive. Flat tires, lost guns, bee stings, and would always laugh nervously through it all. And then there was Dave. Poor, poor Dave. He was a short, but that's not a crime. But the group treated him like a chew toy. Tripping him, hiding his backpack, trading him for for firewood, and once even accidentally burying him in the Nevada desert. That Friday night, they set up camp near the East Eddy Ranch, a place whispered about by UFO chasers, psychics, and that guy who swore his lawn gnome winked at him. Let's go off trail, Jesse said, shoving Dave into a thorn bush for good luck. They hiked deak in. They hiked deep into the woods until the trail vanished behind them like it had never been there. That's when they spotted it. A small burlap sack hanging from a twisted tree branch, tied with a chicken foot and a ribbon made of hair. Danny opened it and pulled out a handful of glowing magical beans. Ooh, jelly beans. He said, popping one into his mouth. Before everyone could tell him not to. His eyes widened. I just saw the jackalope doing the Macarena and I think he winked at me. Then the woods changed. The air grew heavy. The trees leaned inward. [00:48:23] Speaker D: Psychedelics. [00:48:27] Speaker A: The wind stopped. Out of the woods, stepping through the mist, came something big, hairy, smelly. But it wasn't Bigfoot. It was the Rougarou, the Louisiana Swap monster, Its glowing red eyes fixed on them, teeth like knives, claws scraping bark from the trees. That's not in the Pacific Northwest. Tab yelled. It's geographically inconsistent. The Rougarou lunged with a feral snarl, grabbed Dave and tried to chomp off his arm, only to discover to his furry dismay, that Dave's arm was metal. Bionic, even. It turned out that Dave's unfortunate shark bite incident prepared him for this encounter with the Rougarou. While he didn't say much during NWCA's podcast or show up at all, Dave was a secret listener. And from those episodes, he learned the most important survival tip. The only way to defeat a Rougarou is with show tunes blasted at full volume. Luckily, Dave already had a show tunes app on his phone. No one knows why, and we didn't ask. Without hesitation, he hit play and came on hello, Dolly. And like a werewolf with an intense Broadway allergy, the Rougarou howled in horror and sprinted back into the woods, probably to rethink his life's choices. Just when the group thought the adventure was over, they pulled out some Rainier beer and began popping tops. Suddenly, out of the thick underbrush, hopping with the amount, with an unnatural grace, came something enormous and wrong. Tab saw a blue beam shoot from the sky and freeze the running Rougarou in place. A ufo. A UFO hovered above them, and three gray aliens floated down in a beam of light. They looked like naked beans with eyes. Tab got our attention, pointed to the object, and said, oh boy. We have chosen you for abduction. One said with a weird French accent. Except for the short one, we don't take fun sized people. Everyone in the group started running. Dave hollered. Wait for me. Scott said to Dave. I don't have to run fast. I just have to run faster than you. And laughed as the group tripped into a large crevasse. The blue light and Whirr were gone, but Danny's bunghole made us strange noise. Sorry, guys. It must have been those beans. The magical beans. While the group was huddling tight together to stay warm, even though it was 73 degrees outside. They heard a loud crashing sound, branches breaking. Dave screamed. Everyone screamed louder, except Joey, who just smiled and waved at us like it was his birthday. It was a rabbit, but not a cute fluffy rabbit. It was nearly 66ft tall, its fur matted and soaked in something dark. It wore a cracked plat plastic Easter Bunny mask over its twitching face, and in his paws, a blood stained, withered wicker basket full of teeth. Its ears flickered once, and then it lunged. The Easter bunny isn't supposed to hunt us. Petey shrieked just before he dropped his guns in the wood, only to lose it forever. [00:51:45] Speaker B: Oh boy. [00:51:46] Speaker A: Tab muttered, ducking a flying carrot that buried itself in a tree trunk like a throwing knife. Still more believable than Bigfoot. Tab said as they ran. Joey just grinned and waved at the creature like it was Santa. Hi, bunny buddy. The woods were chaos. Shrieks, snapping branches, and Rob's breaking two trekking poles and a tree stump just by running past him. Scott tripped over his own scream. Danny hurled his gumbo at the beast. It sizzled and the bunny growled in a very un rabbit like voice. Then, just as the bunny raised a claw paw over Dave's trembling head, a blinding light came through the trees. A figure stepped forward, robe flowing, a glow surrounding him like moonlight and firelight. Had a baby. Leave these fools, bunny bees. Their time has not yet come. It was James Gilliland, the shaman and cosmic gatekeeper of the East Eddie Ranch. He threw a handful of glittering dust into the campfire and it erupted into a tower of rainbow flames. The demonic bunny hissed and vanished into the smoke like a nightmare lost to the sunrise. You ate the beans, didn't you? James asked, looking in Danny's eyes. Danny. What? James sighed. A faint snicker echoed through the forest. Whether it was the bunny, the beans, or something else entirely, no one could tell. With a wave of his hand, James Gilliland opened a shining, shimmering path through the trees. Go. But. But remember, the forest remembers you. Oh, and don't forget to stop at my gift shop. Petey found his gun. Rob twisted his ankle on a pebble the size of a raisin. Joey smiled and waved goodbye to James. Jesse choked on an oversized chaw he had put in his lip while Todd performed the Heimlich maneuver to save his life. Scott bought some Kool Aid at the gift shop for everyone. Dave muttered, I swear, next time I bring you Pepper Spring and a different group of friends. They never found the jackalope, but a week later, someone posted a TikTok. A TikTok from Mount Adams. It showed a six foot rabbit doing the Macarena on top of a rock. In the background, Jesse was pushing Scott into a crevasse. As for those magical beans, Danny planted one, three days later, Danny had enough magical beans to make a big old pot of chili, which we all later regretted. And now, kids, if you hear giggling in the woods or see a glowing bean on the ground, don't touch it. Or do and tell the Northwest Curiosity Society we said hi. Danny was the star of the show. [00:54:46] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:54:46] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh my. [00:54:49] Speaker C: Oh my. [00:54:50] Speaker B: Thank you, Mondo. I'm stealing your. Your word. Oh my. [00:54:53] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:54:54] Speaker A: Should I put out the fire? [00:54:56] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:54:57] Speaker D: It's getting a little toasty in here. [00:54:58] Speaker B: It's a little warm. [00:55:03] Speaker D: Although I do like the summer bugs. [00:55:05] Speaker A: I'm thinking to roast some peeps, grow some teeth. We interrupt this program to bring you a special report. Okay, so our man in the field, Rob, has a special report. [00:55:21] Speaker C: Yeah, it's not really a news ish story. Because it is. I got thrown into this. [00:55:29] Speaker A: I know, but can we just look at the. Let's look at the episode outline. [00:55:33] Speaker C: Okay, let's see. [00:55:34] Speaker A: Look. [00:55:35] Speaker C: News flash, Jesse. [00:55:37] Speaker A: Right. Okay, but what we told having a news related news story, but you agreed to do it. [00:55:41] Speaker B: Technically it's a news fash. [00:55:43] Speaker C: This is a story. [00:55:44] Speaker B: It's a news fash. [00:55:46] Speaker C: Okay, so a bunch of friends decided to go to sunrise service. [00:55:54] Speaker A: We interrupt this program to bring you a special report. Rob, our bunch of a spot reporter, has a special news flash. [00:56:03] Speaker C: A bunch of friends decided to go to a sunrise service at a super fancy church. We interrupt this program to bring you a special report. This church looks like a European cathedral. And everybody was dressed up at 5am singing around a huge fire outside. And then they went inside for service. Everyone had candles. The whole service was candlelit before the sun rose. Okay, so the guy, there's a guy. He ended up in a row separated from the rest of his group, surrounded by darkness from everybody else. Everybody was wearing fancy hat hats and all that for Easter. And then a couple songs in, he heard an odd crackling and sizzling sound coming from his left. The sound guy, who was positioned a few rows back yelled, hold on a. [00:57:00] Speaker A: Second, I have a question. An odd crackling and sizzling sound. [00:57:05] Speaker C: Yep. [00:57:06] Speaker A: Does that not sound odd to people? [00:57:07] Speaker C: That one's on. Yeah. [00:57:11] Speaker A: You do this sizzle. [00:57:13] Speaker B: Okay. [00:57:13] Speaker C: Okay. [00:57:16] Speaker A: Is that what a crackling and sizzling sound sounds like? [00:57:20] Speaker B: Something like that. [00:57:21] Speaker C: Well, I apologize for interrupting while you were talking. [00:57:24] Speaker A: Go ahead. [00:57:24] Speaker C: Okay. Then the sound guy was yelling Your hair is on fire. The guy panicked and froze and he couldn't speak. And his friend. He tapped his friend on his shoulder, and the friend realized what was going on and he patted all the hair out because it was on fire. And he was. The other friend was laughing uncontrollably. So he was useless. I imagine that was probably Scott. He would be useless laughing. [00:58:00] Speaker D: I've lit Scott's hair on fire before. [00:58:02] Speaker C: Oh, really? Well, true story. I heard that's what happened to you. [00:58:07] Speaker A: Yeah. Interrupt us. Interrupt us. [00:58:12] Speaker C: After the fire was out, they decided to move and they were getting nasty looks from all the. [00:58:20] Speaker A: But. But he did actually light my hair on fire. [00:58:22] Speaker C: Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah. That's another interruptus. No, interrupt us. Anyway, that. That was the story. It happened. It was an actual story. That happened to a gentleman that did. [00:58:35] Speaker A: I missed something. [00:58:36] Speaker C: His hair caught on fire. [00:58:38] Speaker A: I think I missed most of the story. [00:58:39] Speaker C: I think if you stopped interrupting, you would. [00:58:42] Speaker A: So a guy was in church and his hair caught on fire? [00:58:44] Speaker C: Yeah, that was. [00:58:44] Speaker A: And that's your news flash? That's a story. [00:58:49] Speaker C: That's what I'm saying. I told you it was not really a news flash. [00:58:52] Speaker A: It was more of a story segment is news flash. [00:58:55] Speaker B: Newsfash. [00:58:59] Speaker A: Typo. Yeah, whatever. [00:59:00] Speaker C: You can't even. It's not even. [00:59:02] Speaker A: You know what it means. We've done news flashes before. [00:59:04] Speaker C: That was a fashion. [00:59:05] Speaker A: So, look, am I the only one? Danny, you're with me, right, bro? Look, am I the only one complaining? [00:59:12] Speaker C: Okay, you're not. [00:59:13] Speaker A: Well, Tab's not going to complain. Of course he's not. Danny, was that a news flash? [00:59:17] Speaker C: Okay, the. The new administration has plans for an extraordinary Holy Week this week. [00:59:24] Speaker A: There we go. That, my friend, is a news flash. We interrupt this program to bring you a special report. [00:59:31] Speaker B: Is it supposed to be creepy, though? [00:59:33] Speaker D: Yeah. Was it spontaneous combustion? Is that what they're saying? [00:59:36] Speaker C: No. Everybody had candles and his hair caught on fire. [00:59:39] Speaker A: Are we still talking about that stupid story, or are you gonna do the news flash? We interrupt this program to bring you a special report. [00:59:47] Speaker D: Let's be nice. [00:59:47] Speaker C: Scott, you should just write. You should just say, scott, interrupt this. [00:59:51] Speaker A: Whatever. You said you had a news flash. [00:59:53] Speaker B: I just told you I have a news flash. [00:59:55] Speaker F: I'm running out of room. [00:59:56] Speaker A: Danny has a new flash. We interrupt this program to bring you a special report. [01:00:00] Speaker B: Yeah, so a Victorian cemetery was kind of under fire for holding an Easter egg hunt for 30 children inside of their cemetery. Cemetery in North Wales, where that community was going to hold an Easter egg hunt in the cemetery. But they are now under fire because of it. So some of those gravestones in that cemetery date back hundreds of years or 100 years. And organizers thought it would be a great and wonderful idea to have the long young people interested in local genealogy come into cemetery. [01:00:42] Speaker A: Now, see, Rod, that was a news flash. [01:00:48] Speaker B: News fashion. Was that me? [01:00:50] Speaker A: Do you have something more, Rob? [01:00:52] Speaker C: You talking? I'm not. I'm not listening to you. [01:00:56] Speaker A: What? [01:00:56] Speaker D: We're gonna lose people. [01:00:58] Speaker B: I think we already did. [01:00:59] Speaker A: I'm sure we probably did after the first. [01:01:01] Speaker D: Jesse didn't show up. Joe didn't show up. [01:01:03] Speaker C: I see why. [01:01:05] Speaker A: Anybody have anything else? Oh, we are close to the edge. Do you have a new flash? [01:01:10] Speaker C: No, I don't want to read that. This one's horrible. [01:01:12] Speaker A: Is it a news flash? [01:01:14] Speaker C: Yeah, but read it anyway. No, no. [01:01:16] Speaker B: You know what we haven't talked about? [01:01:19] Speaker A: Is it worse than the movie? [01:01:20] Speaker B: Rob, what's his name? [01:01:22] Speaker C: Yeah. Easter egg hunts ends in gunfire, Church deacon killed and three others injured. [01:01:29] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:01:29] Speaker D: Was that last. [01:01:30] Speaker B: Horrible. [01:01:30] Speaker C: Last year in Mississippi. [01:01:31] Speaker A: That's horrible. [01:01:33] Speaker B: You guys want to talk about something? [01:01:35] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:01:35] Speaker D: That's not related to Easter? [01:01:37] Speaker A: Yeah, that was. Talk about something whimsical. [01:01:39] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, not whimsical, but you guys have heard about Aaron Goodwin's wife from Ghost Adventures? [01:01:48] Speaker A: That she like paid to have him killed or something? Yes. [01:01:51] Speaker C: Oh, she did? [01:01:52] Speaker D: Yes. [01:01:53] Speaker C: Oh, that's awesome. [01:01:55] Speaker D: That's awesome. [01:01:56] Speaker C: No, I mean it's for. [01:01:59] Speaker B: For them, for him. [01:02:01] Speaker C: Just for the. [01:02:01] Speaker D: That group that she got caught. [01:02:03] Speaker B: It's awes. [01:02:04] Speaker A: Okay. [01:02:04] Speaker C: No, not. Not that he. [01:02:06] Speaker A: He's from Oregon too. [01:02:07] Speaker D: He is? [01:02:08] Speaker B: Eugene, right? [01:02:08] Speaker A: Portland, I think. [01:02:10] Speaker B: I thought. [01:02:10] Speaker D: No, I think it's Eugene. [01:02:11] Speaker A: Yeah, that would make sense. [01:02:13] Speaker B: Yeah, apparently they figured it out, but. Yeah, I also heard that they're tracking. They're starting the search again for the missing Malaysia. [01:02:24] Speaker C: Oh, really? [01:02:25] Speaker D: Yeah, I caught the tail end of that. I didn't catch the whole story. [01:02:28] Speaker B: I think it's been 10 years since. [01:02:29] Speaker A: The last missing Malaysian flight. [01:02:31] Speaker B: Yeah. So we might have to do a. [01:02:32] Speaker D: Follow up so they have better clue clues about where it's at. [01:02:35] Speaker B: Alle. [01:02:36] Speaker A: Speaking of follow ups. So do you remember. Do you remember when we did the episode on D.B. cooper? [01:02:44] Speaker B: Yes. [01:02:44] Speaker A: And we had that guy call in. [01:02:46] Speaker B: My mind's telling me no, but my body. [01:02:49] Speaker A: My body is telling me yes. [01:02:53] Speaker B: That's what I remember. [01:02:54] Speaker A: Yeah, we had the DB Cooper expert that wrote a book or something. [01:02:57] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [01:02:58] Speaker A: So I think we were supposed to do a follow up on that. He gave us a whole bunch of stuff to investigate and we never did. [01:03:04] Speaker B: I thought, thought. I thought the people died or something. [01:03:05] Speaker A: I hope he's not listening. Oh, to have learned that he like called in. He's like an expert. He's like, hey, I heard you guys are the. [01:03:14] Speaker B: He's still waiting. [01:03:15] Speaker A: It's like, hey, I'm gonna give you some clues. And we're like, cool. I'm writing those clues down. [01:03:20] Speaker B: Cool story, bro. You think he's still waiting for us? [01:03:22] Speaker A: Do you remember what we did after that episode? [01:03:24] Speaker B: Oh, man. [01:03:25] Speaker A: Nothing. We did nothing with those clues. [01:03:27] Speaker B: Nothing. Well, no, we'll have to go back and listen to it. [01:03:30] Speaker A: I hope he's not listening to this episode. [01:03:31] Speaker B: Huh? [01:03:32] Speaker A: Because that would be embarrassing.
