1 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind production of My 2 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 1: Heart Radio. Hey, welcome to Stuff to Blow your Mind 3 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: listener Mail. This is Robert Lamb and this is Joe McCormick. 4 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: And it's Monday, which is the day of every week 5 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:19,799 Speaker 1: that we read back some of the messages that you 6 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: have sent in in response to recent episodes of the show. 7 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: Rob If you don't mind, I'm going to get started 8 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,639 Speaker 1: with this message from Carlos, which I think is in 9 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: response to our series on called The Beast War and 10 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: Apron about like animal cuisine and about a listener mail 11 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: segment that was responding to that. Carlos says, Hi, Robin, Joe, 12 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: I was listening to your most recent listener mail episode 13 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: today on my way to school, and the first letter, 14 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: which was about sneaking away raw slices of potato to eat, 15 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: caused an old memory to come bubbling to the surface. 16 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: I was raised in an evangelical church, and summer camp 17 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: was a large part of my life. When I think 18 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: about it now, one of the strangest things about these 19 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: camps was how many of the games revolved around embarrassing 20 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: slash unpleasant experiences. The one that I suddenly remembered today, 21 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: which I had apparently tried to forget, was a game 22 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: in which several kids, myself included, had a race to 23 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: eat a raw white potato as fast as possible. I 24 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: remember it being very unpleasant, perhaps one of the more 25 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: terrible food experiences of my life. When I have kids, 26 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: I don't think they will be attending these camps. Ha ha. 27 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,199 Speaker 1: Thanks for everything, I hope all as well. Carlos. What 28 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: kind of game is this? I must know more? What 29 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: was it just a race to eat a raw potato? 30 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: Or was there like context? Was it illustrating a Bible 31 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: story or something? Yeah, I don't know, and it sounds 32 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: sounds from the email. I'm I'm assuming this means it 33 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: was like a an official part of the camp. It 34 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: wasn't just like us. Some kids got bored and they 35 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: got ahold of some potatoes. But you know, like a 36 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: count counselor was like today, children, we shall see who 37 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: can eat these potatoes. This is sanctioned by adults. Um. 38 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: They bring, in fact, they bring the authority of the Lord, 39 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,119 Speaker 1: you God Almighty to say you must eat this raw potato. Yeah, 40 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: and I don't know. I'm trying to imagine what kind 41 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: of like Bible camp connection that could have would it be. 42 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: I don't well, there are no mentions of potatoes in 43 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: the Bible, obviously, you know that's a new World food. 44 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: So like maybe something about the verse about if salt 45 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: loses its safer I'm coming up blank, I don't know. 46 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it was it was refer in the 47 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: old days. I mean today you send a kid to 48 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: like vacation Bible school or something, and they have so 49 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: many I mean they've really thought it out. They have 50 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: all these different art projects and you know, science projects 51 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: even um, so it's really impressive. But I guess back 52 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: in the day you didn't have that. What you had 53 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 1: were raw potatoes, and you you just killed time as 54 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: you get as best you could. Well, anyway, thanks for 55 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: getting in touch, Carlo Us. All right, Well, since we're 56 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: talking about vegetables, our next one concerns are episodes on 57 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: The Vegetable Lamb of Tartari, though this will only concern 58 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: part one because this email came in before part two 59 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: was published. Taylor writes in and says, hello, Rob and Joe, 60 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: I just finished part one of The Vegetable Lamb of Tartary. Robert, 61 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: your son may have missed this one, but there is 62 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: in fact a vegetable lamb Pokemon. Its name is skid Do, 63 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: and while it is not attached to the earth by 64 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: a strange umbilicus, it can photosynthesize using the leaves growing 65 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: like fur on its back. It grows or evolves into 66 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: the Pokemon go Goat, whose horns are said to change 67 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: in texture to reflect its emotions. This is the second 68 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: time I've written in to weigh in on Pokemon, and 69 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: I'm happy to be the show's Pokemon correspondent. However, Rob, 70 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: if your son is anywhere near is enthusiastic about Pocket 71 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: Monster is as I was and am, you may share 72 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: my father's fatigue for the subject. Thanks for all your 73 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: wonderful explorations of the strange beasts of fact and fiction. 74 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: I've attached to illustrations of skidd Oh and go got 75 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: for your viewing pleasure. All the best, Taylor. Okay, so 76 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: we got the two pictures. I guess this is the 77 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: what they would call the evolution. I don't know much 78 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: about Pokemon, but the first one is like cute, and 79 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: then the second one, well, the first one's cute and 80 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: it appears to be hopping about and kicking its back 81 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: legs and has a bushy vegetation on its coat, and 82 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: its horns are in kind of a y shape or 83 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: like that that old school uh, the flipping out middle 84 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: part hair comb what I don't know what you call 85 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: that hair do Anyway, the older one has like red 86 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: angry eyes instead of the cute eyes, and then it's 87 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: horns are just going straight back. Yeah. Yeah, this one, 88 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: I guess just has two forms. A lot of them 89 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: have three, but not all, and some of them don't 90 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: have but the one form. But typically what you'll see 91 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: is the the basic form. The first form will be 92 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: super cute, and the final form will be fierce, and 93 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: then the middle form. Uh well, sometimes it's cute, I 94 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: mean because Pikachu, whoever everyone knows, is technically like like 95 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: the second form. It's like the mid form between Pichu 96 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: and right you. Uh. But but in some cases that 97 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: middle form it is also just a little like it's 98 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: not completely cute, but it's also not fearsome yet it's 99 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: just kind of awkward. Wait, so there's a baby Pikachu. 100 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: Oh god, yes, it's it's named Pichu, and it's an 101 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: imagine Pikachu even cuter. Um, that is my son's favorite Pokemon. 102 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: Uh and I get to hear about him all the time. 103 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: Oh boy, but yeah, this is a solid point about 104 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: go Goat and uh skid. Oh here. Um, I was 105 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: not familiar with him, but I woke my son up 106 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,239 Speaker 1: this morning saying, hey, we got I got an email 107 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: from a listener about Pokemon. He came in and looked 108 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: at it. He's like, oh, yeah, yeah, I know these two. 109 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: So you woke him as if like there was an 110 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: emerge agency son, son out of bed. Nothing wakes him 111 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: up like Pokemon stuff. He can be a little a 112 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: little slow to wake otherwise. Uh so yeah, this looks 113 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: this looks great. Um. It also reminded me so the 114 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: final form here is Go go There's a ghost track 115 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: titled Kiss the Go Goat, which is supposed to be 116 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,799 Speaker 1: tongue in cheek satan stuff like most of the ghost tracks. 117 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: But now I shall only associated with this particular Pokemon. 118 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: Now I would have to imagine this is directly inspired 119 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: by the by the vegetable lamb of Tartari. Right, it 120 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: would be a strange coincidence if it were not. Yeah, 121 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: it seems very likely. Um, and it was wrong of 122 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: me to question the Pokemon masters by saying, why isn't 123 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: there one, because clearly they're on it. Though to return 124 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: to biblical themes, of course, there there are famously distinctions 125 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: between sheep and goats. So yeah, alright, I'm gonna read 126 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: this next message. This is in response to our episodes 127 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: on the three pupil die. This is from Chris, and 128 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: Chris begins by saying, in your podcast you discussed polychoria 129 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: and pseudo polychoria, and to briefly refresh, these are rare 130 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: conditions which cause the appearance of multiple pupils or openings 131 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: in the iris, and the far more common of these 132 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: two is the false version pseudo polychoria, where there is 133 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: at least one additional hole in the iris, but it's 134 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: not considered a true second pupil because it doesn't have 135 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: its own sphincter muscle surrounding it, so it can't adjust 136 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: its aperture like the primary pupil can, whereas true polychoria 137 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: is when the second pupil has its own sphincter muscle 138 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: and it can, so you shine a light in that 139 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: both of the pupils will contract anyway. Chris goes on 140 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: to say, I was born with oculo cutaneous Albanism, and 141 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: a sub diagnosis of my condition is the pseudo or 142 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: false polychoria. My iris has insufficient pigment to cause some 143 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: parts of the red to shine through the iris. I 144 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: think means resulting in pink eyes. Also, under nondirect light, 145 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: dots or holes in the eye where the pigment is 146 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: missing cause the polychoria, like a stained glass window with 147 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: small holes in the paint. The effects are hypersensitivity to light. 148 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: I have to wear sunglasses more than most and get 149 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: headaches from being outside. Also another side effect is since 150 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: the light is not filtered in parts of the iris, 151 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: I can detect shades of colors that are not normal. 152 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: Super chromatic is uh is I think what they call it. 153 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: Think of the color blindness tests, but with three colors 154 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: instead of two, where people with normal vision only see 155 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: the two. Anyway, love your podcast format, hyper referenced and 156 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: detailed analysis, Chris, Well, thank you, Chris. Yeah, this is interesting. 157 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: I'm especially interested by the idea of you talking about 158 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: your increased sensitivity to the color spectrum. I've heard before 159 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: of the idea that there are more color is to 160 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: see than than we see. They're they're various types of 161 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: I think it's called tetra tetra chromacy and other animals, 162 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: but I was not familiar with the idea in humans. 163 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to look into that, the the idea 164 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 1: of expanded color range sensitivity. So thank you, Chris. All Right, Well, 165 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: we also heard from another Chris on more on the 166 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: same episode in response to the same episodes. This Chris 167 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: writes in and says, greetings, Rob, Joe and Seth just 168 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: finished the second episode of The Three Pupiled Eye. A 169 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: great pair of episodes that certainly brought up some fun 170 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: topics and had me thinking about eyes and pupils in 171 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: a new way. Near the end of the episode, you 172 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: discussed some interesting pupils and eye configurations in the natural world, 173 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: and this brought to mind interesting examples of eyes and 174 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: the fantasy world. One pair of eyes that I can 175 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: never forget are those of the Pale Man, one of 176 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: the Monsters, and Giermo del Toro's film Pans Labyrinth. While 177 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: the actual eyes and pupils may not be that extraordinary, 178 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: it's their placement that is unique. His body resembles a 179 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: pale old man, visible nostrils and mouth similar to those 180 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: of a manta ray. He ultimately eats children, but also fairies. 181 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: His eyes can be placed in the sockets in his 182 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: hands rather than the face. UH this site and he's 183 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: talking about a fandom WICKI about this creature also makes 184 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: note that the Pale Man was also influenced by the 185 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: real life Japanese legendary monster to No May the ghost 186 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: of a blind man whose eyes are located in the 187 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: palms of his hands, which I thought was interesting as well. 188 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: Maybe an episode on mythical or monster eyes is in order. 189 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: Thanks again for the great episode, Chris. The idea of 190 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: eyes in the hands brings to mind another recent episode 191 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: we will actually be referenced it earlier, the animal cuisine 192 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: thing where we talked about the washing behaviors and raccoons. 193 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: Someone's raccoons will wash their food before eating it, and 194 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: there have been multiple explanations for this hypothesized. One of 195 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: them is that the raccoon UH has one of its 196 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: primary sensory interfaces with the world is actually as sense 197 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: of touch. It has extremely sensitive hands, it's four paws 198 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: of tons and tons of nerve endings leading up to 199 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: the brain and um and that it's so so in 200 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: a way, for raccoon, touching things is almost as important 201 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: as our ability to look at things is, like that's 202 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: a primary sense for them. And so perhaps the reason 203 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: for this washing behavior is that feeling around on a 204 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: food item in the water helps increase the sensitivity of 205 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: the four paws in in getting you know, textural information 206 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: about the food. That strikes me as a as a 207 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: possibility and and very interesting one. It's like having eyes 208 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: in your hands. Now. Certainly this this monster in Hans Labyrinth, yeah, 209 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: is very memorable. But they the yokai that that that 210 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: Chris mentions here that Tenome is also very interesting as well. 211 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: I was reading about him with my son just this 212 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: past October. So what's the scoop on the Tenome? It's 213 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: just just hands and like what does he do with 214 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: the the eye hands? Oh, trying to remember offhand. Um, 215 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: like a lot of their number of the yokai you 216 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: know that don't actually kill you or hurt you. They're 217 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: just there to kind of scare you. Um. So I 218 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: don't recall off the top of my head what the 219 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: Tenom is up to other than particularly you know, possibly 220 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: scaring you. But I don't know. Maybe we'll have to 221 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 1: have to look into this. Um it was, it's it's 222 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: a pretty pretty fun one. Is I recall there's some 223 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 1: other yokai with interesting ocular positioning as well? Oh yeah, 224 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: like what there's one with an eye in the butt? 225 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, there's a there's a section one. I 226 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: think that the book that I was reading with my son, 227 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: Yokai Attack, the Japanese Monster Survival Guide, which which is 228 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 1: excellent for all ages because it has wonderful sort of 229 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: anime style illustrations but also well cited, well written information 230 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: about all the yokai. Uh it included um information on 231 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: both of these yokai, plus a ton of other ones. 232 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: Oh nice, Well, I'm gonna have to look that one 233 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: up in my own reference. The one I always turned 234 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: to that I've got on my show Fear is the 235 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: Book of Yokai by Michael Foster Michael Dylan Foster. Yeah, well, 236 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: you know we should come back and do some okai 237 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: content the future. Then maybe maybe that will be some good, 238 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: good Halloween material this year. Oh yeah, we've done it before. 239 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: I'm sure we will do it again. Were plenty of them, 240 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: all right, I think we're gonna turn to some weird 241 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: house Cinema responses. This first one is from James. James says, 242 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: good afternoon, gentlemen. I was excited to see you featured 243 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: The Abominable Doctor fives on a recent Weird House Cinema episode. 244 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: While I've never seen it, it's one of the many 245 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: b horror movies I've known about for a long time 246 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: due to a Misfit song of the same name. Oh yeah, James, 247 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: I know what you're talking about, James says, listening to 248 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: your podcast was the perfect motivation to finally buy a 249 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: used copy on eBay to experience the movie myself, and boy, 250 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: oh boy, what a treat. I haven't seen such a 251 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: hilariously tongue in cheek horror movie since Cabin in the Woods, 252 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: and I now understand why the related Misfits song is 253 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: one of their rare instrumental tracks as the namesake Doctor 254 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 1: cannot speak. The episodes preamble also sent me down and 255 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: amusing Vincent Price advertisement rabbit Hole. The sun Country Wine 256 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: Cooler polar Bear ad is weirdly cute. That's what it was. 257 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: Sun Country Wine Coolers that they got the good one 258 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: with vincive price and uh and with Grace Jones and 259 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: I'm sure some other stars. They probably did some other 260 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: celebs of the day. They could get James goes on. 261 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: But the Monster Vitamin's commercial should come with a disclaimer 262 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: that you may never see Mr Price the same way again. 263 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: Apparently he keeps children locked up in his basement um 264 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: and then he says, at least they're getting proper vitamin 265 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: nutrition plus iron down there. And what James is referring 266 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: to I looked this up in the Monster Vitamin's ad. 267 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: So Price is giving you the pitch. He's like, you know, 268 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: here they are. They're delicious, they're chewable, they're good for you. 269 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: But then he opens a trapdoor in the floor and 270 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: like shake some vitamins down to the children who are 271 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: apparently kept there. Well, those are just the children under 272 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: the stairs, nothing going on there. It is amazing what 273 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: used to make it into commercials now Man commercials now 274 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: are too safe. They're not gonna risk making you associate 275 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: the product with like the capture of children in dungeon. 276 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: You know, it does all the thinking about all these 277 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: Vincent Price commercials, it does make me think that technically 278 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: we could bring all these back. Like I don't know 279 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: if the Vincent Vincent Price of State and his family 280 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: members will be down for it. But the technology to 281 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: recreate deceased actors using computer technology is better now than 282 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: it's it's ever been. Like. Oh no, no, I hate it. 283 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: Have you seen some of the recent examples, because I 284 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: know you're still thinking of Tarkan, but the latest like 285 00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: reproductions of say Luke Skywalker, Young Luke Skywalker are really good. 286 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: So I think we're at the point now where we 287 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: could bring Vincent Price back and have him be a 288 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: spokesperson for all new um short lived alcoholic beverages. Oh man, 289 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: I so want to yes and you, but I just 290 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: hate it too much. I hate yes, I hate it 291 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: all right, fair enough anyway anyway. James goes on to say, 292 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: thanks for the recommendation. Please feel free to peruse the 293 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: Misfits catalog of songs for future episodes of Weird House Cinema. 294 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: I thank you, James, I will feel free. Uh. He 295 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: also goes on to say to talk about a different episode. 296 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: He says, during a recent Listener Mail episode, you discussed 297 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: the safety of eating raw potatoes. I think specifically we 298 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: said we did not know whether there were safety concerns 299 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: or not, and Unfortunately, I still have not really looked 300 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: deeply into that, so so I don't take medical advice 301 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: from the following. But James says, I believe the fear 302 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: stems from the possible presence of a toxin called soul nine, 303 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: which can cause symptoms akin to food poisoning and an 304 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: extreme case as death. However, soulenine concentration is only significant 305 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: in a potato's eyes, sprout stems, and leaves, so be 306 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: sure to avoid those. This is of course not true 307 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: for carrots, radishes, beats, etcetera, whose greens are extremely nutritious 308 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 1: and can be tasty both raw and cooked. I myself, 309 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: I'm a fan of eating many vegetables raw, especially asparagus, 310 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: and am now curious to sneak a chunk of non 311 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: green potato the next time I'm preparing them. While I 312 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: do prefer them roasted. I'll typically sneak a few raw 313 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: brussels sprout chunks myself while cooking them. I'll just be 314 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 1: sure to avoid them served in the style of fibes 315 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: I e. Goo and ensure no locusts are nearby. My 316 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: gecks crickets probably couldn't devour my face, but I'll air 317 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: on the side of caution. As always, many thanks for 318 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: bringing background entertainment to my work day several days a week. 319 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 1: Love your podcast. Cheers James. Well, thank you, James. But 320 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: to come back to your idea about the Misfits songs 321 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: about old B movies. I one time, when I was 322 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: in college, I was seeing a friend of mine UH 323 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: and his band perform, and I'm not sure what genre 324 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,959 Speaker 1: you call him, and it's not bluegrass. They were like 325 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: a sort of traditional style UH instrumental band mostly that 326 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: would play with like a banjo and a fiddle and 327 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: and and would play sort of an old, old mountain 328 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,679 Speaker 1: tunes I think. But I went up to talk to 329 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: them in the middle of the show and I asked 330 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: my friend. I was like, well, it's a great show, 331 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: but where the Danzig covers? And he launched into a 332 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:33,479 Speaker 1: profoundly beautiful, uh sort of mountain blue grass cover of 333 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: Astro Zombies by the Misfits, and it was pretty good. Yeah. 334 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: I know. When I was like in junior high I 335 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 1: was into into the Danzing, but I didn't know much 336 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: about the Misfits. It was only much later that I 337 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: got to explore such wonderful lyrics as return of the Fly, 338 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: Return of the Fly with Vincent Price. Yeah, the Return 339 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: of the Fly don't get any better than that. It's beautiful. 340 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: It's like poetry. By the way, James here when he 341 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: shared the playlist or the list of films that inspired 342 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: Misfits songs, he shared that to us on letterbox that's 343 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: L E T T E R B O x D 344 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: dot com. I don't know. I don't know how widespread, 345 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: uh this this website is. I don't know if it's 346 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: new or it's been around for a few years. But 347 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: a listener wrote in I think on our discord and 348 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: was like, hey, you should you should set one of 349 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: these up for weird House Cinema. So I have set 350 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: one up for weird House Cinema. If you go to letterboxed, 351 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,360 Speaker 1: you can just search for weird House. Our user name 352 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: is weird House and right now it's just a bare 353 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: bones account, but it has a full list of all 354 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: the movies we've covered on weird House. And uh, yeah, 355 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 1: if there's enough interest in the site, if this is 356 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: something that is of interest to folks, we could always 357 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: spring for an h Q account and do more with it. 358 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: But in the meantime, uh, there sure is a list 359 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: of movies there, and it's a great way to sort 360 00:19:53,920 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: of instantly visualize what we've covered thus far. All right, 361 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: speaking of the discord, one more bit of listener mail here. 362 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,719 Speaker 1: This one comes to us from from Matt sharing the 363 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: following about the Devil Rides Out quote with regards to 364 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: your discussion of the Duke's religious affiliation at the end 365 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: of the episode. The story makes me think a bit 366 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: of the Eisenhorn trilogy by Dan Abnett. Hardline puritanical inquisitor 367 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: gradually starts using the tools of the arch enemy because Hey, 368 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: if I'm the one summoning demons, it's fine because I'm 369 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: responsible and I'm using them to fight other demons. It 370 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: would have been great if there was a sequel to 371 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: The Devil Rides Out where the Duke had gone full 372 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: radical and was being hunted by other puritanical sorts. I 373 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: love this. I love this idea. Yeah, yeah, I think 374 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: Matt makes a great point here. Uh So, first of all, 375 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: the Eisenhorn books by Dan Abnet are a lot of fun. 376 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: I've I've read, uh I think I've read four of them, 377 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: the four key Eisenhorn books. He knows Mallius Hereticus and 378 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: the meges Uh, though the character pops up in some 379 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: other books that he wrote as well. I particularly like 380 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: Zenos from two thousand one, but the Magoes from is 381 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: also a lot of fun. These are books about an 382 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: imperial inquisitor in the Warhammer forty thousand universe, tests with 383 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: hunting down heretics and stopping their evil deeds. Now, these 384 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 1: stories don't take place on the epic grim dark battlegrounds 385 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: of the forty K universe, but they instead tend to 386 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: revolve around backwater planets and and sometimes the just the 387 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: everyday lives of people that are living in the shadows 388 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: of these these you know, these big altercations. So I 389 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: could be wrong, but I don't think you need to 390 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: have a lot of forty K lore stashed in your 391 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: head to enjoy these books. And Abnet is also just 392 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: a solid writer as well. But indeed, one of the 393 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: recurring themes in the Eisenhorn books is that every inquisitor 394 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: will either die in service to the cause or they'll 395 00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: live long enough to become a heretic themselves. Um because 396 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: of course, the inquisitors inherently have great knowledge of the 397 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: occult threats they face but then they increasingly use occult 398 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: powers to combat those forces, and eventually they just lose 399 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: their way. So at first you're combating dark forces with 400 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: your own dark forces that you're harnessing, but eventually you're 401 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: just lost and you're another slave to darkness. And so 402 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 1: I think this is this is pretty insightful and absence 403 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: part because it matches up with, first of all, what 404 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: you see with with witch hunters of old, as well 405 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: as with many modern crusaders against various perceived cultural threats. 406 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: Because in times of old, witchcraft persecutions became an excuse 407 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: for cruelty and horror, as well as the satisfaction of 408 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 1: one's own interests in the sorts of ideas and practices 409 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: that one outwardly opposed. And how many moral crusaders from 410 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: our own times come to possess just exhaustive information about 411 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: the things they crusade against. They know all the terms, 412 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,199 Speaker 1: all the slang, all the alleged perversions and paraphernalia. But 413 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: they're safe. They're the ones in the video of warning 414 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 1: you against the powers of Satan. They're the they're the 415 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 1: duke fighting the devil in the night. So they're okay. 416 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: They can have this knowledge, right, I can listen to 417 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: the heavy metal albums because I'm doing it from a 418 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: place of judgment and moral authority. I just need to 419 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: understand what they're what they're doing. You know what satanic 420 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: messages they're preaching, and so forth and so forth. I 421 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: can you know, the Duke, I can read these occult tomes. 422 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: You shouldn't you. I'd rather see you dead than reading 423 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: these occult tomes that I've been staying up all night with. Yes, 424 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 1: the Church has authorized me to listen to Sabbath day 425 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: and night front words and backwards so that I can 426 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: keep a watch and look out for the children.
