Welcome to this month's Bizarre News. From mind control prosthetics to ore fish washing up on the beach. We've got four news stories today. Make sure to stick around and check them out.
Oh, oh, oh. Welcome to December, everybody. It is bizarre news time. We are changing things up as we're known to do from time to time. The news anchor style was fun. We have to play around with it. I forgot the guy. I knew the one of us are wearing ties right now. It just wasn't our style. It didn't feel right. And you know what? This feels more right.
Yeah, the round table discussion the entire time just fits us better. But you'll always remember, and you always know you were there for the moment we try to be news anchors. So like 10 years from now, when people like, oh, they do bizarre news, you're like, yeah, I don't even know. They had bizarre news music. They had a
I always, I wish I could have been like, Danny, Danny, Danny, but apparently we can't just use that. Fox News is like, well, she's obsessed. All right. Let's jump into our first news story. And this is titled the mind controlled prosthetic that could change everything. I'm very excited about this because I, okay, I'm not missing an arm or like, or anything else, but yet, or as of now, but yeah.
But this could be very exciting. For a lot of people, it certainly could be. A 2020 survey revealed that while 20% of upper limb amputees use myoelectric prosthesis, 44% of those users eventually abandon them due to their limitations.
But Austin Bay startup Phantom Narrow is developing a promising solution, a thin flexible muscle implant that allows for more natural prosthetic control through thought alone, the membrane, this guy, the brain. Does it see what part of the brain? This one, just. Okay. Does it go into the brain or is it going to the arm or the limb?
Well, let me read the rest of the thing. Okay. You might not get your answer, but we read it. In a recent study shared exclusively with Wired, 10 participants tested a wearable version of phantom technology, achieving an impressive 94% accuracy across 11 different hand and wrist gestures.
The system, which uses two sensors with 16 electrodes each, demonstrated a response time of less than 200 milliseconds, remarkably close to human muscle response time of 100 milliseconds. So twice as long, but in the grand scheme of things, yeah. You just like probably couldn't be a boxer, you know. Right. Actually, if you were a boxer, probably that's a whole other issue.
While companies like Neuralink are pursuing brain implants for prosthetic control, Phantom Neuro is focusing on less invasive approach by interfacing directly with the muscles. That was my answer. That's pretty cool. Their implantable version planned for clinical trials in 2025 would be inserted through a small incision under the skin in an outpatient procedure. So it's outpatient. You go in, you get it done. Peace. And you can.
That's insane, you're having potentially life-altering surgery in an outpatient situation. Yeah, you should probably be awake. You watch Netflix. That's crazy. The company believes this approach could be more reliable than their current wearable version, potentially achieving even higher accuracy, since it won't have to read electrical signals through the skin. For amputees, this technology could be a potential game changer and could finally make everyday tasks easier and more natural to perform.
The name of the company is very cool. Phantom Narrow. That's awesome. It is. That's an awesome name. Like they should do like. That's good branding. They should do two in one. It's like you get the insert and it's also cool tattoo. Yeah. They should have tattoo artists be the ones that put the implant in. No, yeah. I mean, well, they should have tattoo artists like designing the limbs. Oh, see, that would be dope too. That would be dope too. I was thinking like. Like we're on the same basis. Like where your insert is, they all, they tattoo over it.
Yes, yes, that goes into the design of the limb. It's like the Ink Master where the two people have to work together. They get one person tattooing the limb and the other person tattooing where the insert is. I think they did that one time. I really do. I think that's why I thought it. I think it was season five. Yeah. It might not even be. That's when they had to do the butt cheek. Which is a good idea. I think when they do the butt cheeks. I do remember. That's really cool. It reminds me of Full Metal Alchemist.
Which was dog and the girl. We all know. That's not what I'm referring to that did happen. But so like Edward, he's an amputee. He loses. Forgive me. His right arm left and left leg. That's right. But his surgery for his his metal limbs. That was not painless. Not not patient. No, that was bad. That was like months of recovery.
Yeah, I like this is, this is one that I think everybody can acknowledge is really cool, even if you're not in the demographic that this is for. Absolutely. And so if I think it's awesome, then I can only imagine, you know, someone who is missing a limb or something like that would, you know, be really excited about also like,
When it comes to advancements in technology, like there's certain things like Google Glasses and you're like, who needs that? Yeah, it's like, I don't, I already wear glasses. But this has, this is an awesome demographic, people who are in need. But not even like, I mean, like this is something everyone can rally around.
Like no one's gonna read this and be like, oh, do we really need that? Well, yes, while you got a second hand, you know what I mean? Like, well, there are some people who think kids shouldn't get free lunches. So there's that. Yeah, I guess those are probably, there's overlap in that Venn diagram of people who don't think kids should get free lunches and people who think people, if you lost an arm, that's on you. That's not you. It's like the Venn diagram about three and then also laying is like Sauron.
Yeah. And then Steelers fans are somewhere there too. Yeah. But that is, that's our first news story. I think it's, I think it's remarkable. Like these are, it's bizarre in the fact that it's, you know, it's time out phantom limbs and in, well, I guess not, I was thinking like phantom limb payment. That's just the name. That's totally, that's the name of the company. I think that's why it's called that though. Probably. But it's just, it's so remarkable. And it'll be cool to see in like 2025 through like these clinical trials, if it actually comes to fruition and works.
Because that would be, I mean, that's like loose Skywalker stuff, you know, he's got it on. Just like just thinking in it. I mean, it's also, it's one of those things like when you have a stuffy nose, all you think about is like the next time I can breathe. So this is your reminder. You take it for granted. Yeah, this is your reminder. If you have everything, you might not be as tall as you want.
you know, you might not be exactly, you might not be as strong as you want or, you know, have the limb, you're not be like, when be with your arm reach, but at the same time, be appreciative what you have. Like you're not, you're not typically in pain, you know, like there, there are a lot of advantages and, you know, it just, it makes this kind of thing just so much more better, just so much better that it can help you with those, that situation. Exactly.
Our next new story is from NPR. It's about the elusive coveted or fish. Now, it seems that the or fish a rarely seen deep fish sea monster measuring up to 30 feet as a side that started doing something pretty mysterious dying.
Well, yes, but that's something serious. Now, there have been three appearances since August, including a nine foot and 10 foot long specimen on beaches in California. So they're dying and they're coming up to these beaches and these messengers from the dragon's place, taking a bit of a break from the usual hangout of 3000 feet underwater to enjoy the West Coast sunshine or, you know, just live there.
I would, that's what I would do. Yeah, cost high cost of living those waters though. I think the cost of living is death. That's ironic. They're dying. Yeah. Now, scientists are suggesting that the changes in the ocean conditions or cycles like the El Nino, which means, you know,
Doesn't it like the tides and like the way that like the currents and it's a current. It's a change in like the ocean cycle, but do you know what El Nino means? The devil. The bad juju. It just means the boy. The boy.
Anyway, that might be the culprit, but maybe the sea serpents are just here to remind us that we are still guests on planet earth. Now, the ore fish is, I think this is sponsored by BP. They're like, you're a tornado. There's nothing going on in the water, man. Like it's probably just them. I wouldn't look too far. Definitely not oil.
I feel like, wow, that came from 10 years ago. Yeah. Like that doesn't still affect the marine life. Oh, absolutely. Now, the Orfish has a history that is very tangled. Now, in Japanese legends, these once associated strange sea creatures, including Orfish,
had messages from the dragon king that came to that were mounted in predictions of everything from earthquakes to props being destroyed to pandemics even war and one story even describes this large or fish with a human head and beard.
I had to have a beard too. I don't know because it was a powerful man. Until until like a dollar shave club ships sinks and all the racers float to the bottom of the sea. They're going to have beards. Like a dollar shave club ships. So we just lost $50. Shit. It's a good deal though. You ever get that product? No, I'm not above it though. I get my razors from Sheen.
machine. So it takes like four weeks to get to a young boy deliver them. No, because it's highly trafficked. Now they might be here to deliver an ominous message with their bodies, but it really just seems like there's something going on in the deep. You got to cut them open and find their message. Have you seen these things? No, I really want to show you. I don't know why they're really cool. They're really long. That is that is a past one deceased one.
Well, this will be you guys have already seen this because it'll be up. If you're watching on YouTube, it'll have already been up, assuming this is up on YouTube. You should sign some more. Where's the beard? I don't know, man. I don't see the beard. You know, he got a hold of that first part, the first one. Yeah. This is nice. It's a nice shave. Not sponsored. No, wouldn't that be funny if that was like today's sponsor for the berries?
Harry's is not a dollar. I got a clearance Harry shaving cream at Target. And it was still like $8. And it's a skinny too. Yeah. I don't shave that much anyway. I used to. I looked like a child, but my wife and I used to share dollar shave clubs. You're like, we used to shave together. You know, the fan of shapes together slays together. So what do you think's happening?
I really think it's probably just probably climate change, BP. It's probably just the humans destroying nature. I really think it's probably that.
Yeah. You said these things are like 3000 feet deep. Yeah. They're deep sea fish. Like they get caught occasionally. They're showing up more and more now, but I really just think it's because the ocean is being with on such a level that it's causing it's not just deep sea fish. It's many things, but this is a symptom of a problem. What if there's just what has to be in my soapbox?
What if there's just like this new large Megalodon Megalodon that's waking up from this thousand year slumber. It's like BTB did an episode on me. I got to check it out. And so what is something at the bottom of the sea is stirring and causing all these fish from the bottom to come up? I mean, they tell me about Godzilla. Kaiju stuff? Yes. I mean, yeah, that'd be sick.
I mean, we live in Ohio. A BP would be down with that. You're like, yeah, so it's right. Definitely, can't you? We should pollute more, you know? Godzilla is right awake up and he died in his sleep. He's like, he got the black water lung. Got the black water lung.
All right. So our third new story, there will be an audio component to this new story. Number two, an official earworm eraser. Look, this is useful today. I'm all about providing the useful stuff for the world. Yeah. So for people who suffer from earworms, this is going to, this is affecting me because I have one stuck there right now. You know, it's frustrating. Just a reminder for folks, an earworm is a catchy piece of music or saying they get stuck on your head and repeats.
Involuntarily you think it's like you're consciously thinking about it. Seven seven. I've been doing this one. What is it? Supreme carpenter that I'm working like is I'm a singer that one. You don't know it. He doesn't know it. I don't know. It's fine. It's it's a popular song. I feel like and you can attest to this because I would always sing it every time we recorded or like every other time we record you know I'm about to say.
As soon as you say, I'm going to be like the Rick role, they're never going to give you every time it would come out of that was mostly upstairs in your. Yeah, it's been a while, but that's like the one I think about every now and then it will happen, but they can also be called stuck tune syndrome, musical imagery, repetition or brainworms around 90% of people report this problem at least once a week. Now, according to a 2011 study in the Journal of psychology of music, and thankfully,
We've come up with a solution. The earworm eraser. It is a 42nd audio track designed to squash those earworms. I'd love to hear this. To my wife, Seth and I, we did this like four or five times today to each other. Do what? Does it bring your Harvard or song?
They sing it out loud. Yes. One theory that I've heard. Have you heard any theories about how to come to your room? You got to listen to it to its completion. Oh, I have heard that one. Like you got it from beginning to end. You have to listen to the whole song and you need what it is. It's closure. Yeah. I don't actually like the song. So it sucks. It's my son. Oh my God. It is making Christmas.
It's not the worst one to have. He'll just be like putting his box. They'd be impressed. I am a genius. Dude, like, he likes the rise against making Christmas stuff. So it's a win. His language skills are very impressive. He's a very good talker. He'd talk good. Um, so anyways, we will listen to it, but let me explain a bit more. So here's some, here's a quote by Kelly.
Kelly. One really effective way of blocking out earworms is to listen to something else and associate professor music psychology at Durham University says, University of United Kingdom. We're not talking about like Durham North Carolina here. I've shown my research that songs that have a more danceable tempo tend to become earworms. Makes sense. And we also found that having a predictable overall melodic shape can make a song become an earworm.
And he's not talking about like audible shape. He's talking about like a physical shape on the spectrum. I don't think so. Okay. I think it's like the shape of how like music forms. I'm in love with the shape of you. There you go. Asking me stuck in your head. So that's why the earworm eraser sounds like someone who can't make up their mind what they want to listen to. Every few seconds is switches between fast and slow tempo while also changing time signatures and musical styles, which range from electronic to classical.
So now that you kind of know, now we'll listen to it. So that's the vibe that we're going for here.
The whole video is like them squashing a legitimate worm too. So, yeah, did it work? Maybe? I think it's because it's harder to recall the exact. Yeah, I don't know. It's cool. I like, I mean, the fade, the usage of the fade in this was pretty incredible. They're sponsors who say it worked. They're not as fun. If it's still stuck in your head, you can say so. I don't, I mean, maybe not. I really don't know.
Yeah. Cool. Cool. The earworm racer has gotten more than a hundred thousand views on YouTube since it launched last year. Philadelphia based tech worker Lauren Eddinger Eddinger Eddinger said that the earworm eraser rescued her after she visited her one year old niece in Phoenix because all she was listening to is baby shark. That baby shark dude. I think this is just for parents.
I mean, you guys too, but like, yeah, or I think like, I think it's because kids songs are designed to be catchy. Yeah, or I get maybe, or so we're repetitive, repetitive. I mean, pop music too. But yeah, what are your thoughts? I mean, that's, I think it's cool. I think it works. I kind of like the like little element of everything.
Yeah. Yeah. I feel like I could put this on a loop for my grandma. She would be really into it. It's just every two seconds. You have a new vibe. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's how some people's like musical library is like back in the day when they're iPods. I guess now it'd be like your Spotify playlist. Yeah. But like if you look to someone's iPod back in the day, you could really get a feel for her. Yeah. I'm pretty eclatic when it comes to music. Like most things. Yeah. I think that's pretty cool.
I don't know. I think it's, there's founding some foundational science in there. There's a good, there's a good head on shoulder. It makes sense for what it does. Do people say it works for them? Yeah. Yeah. A lot of people say. I mean, there's some people obviously say it doesn't work. There's also the placebo effect too on this.
Which, I mean, maybe that's half the battle. Yeah. Because it's also, I mean, it's mind over matter, right? Yes. If you think it works, you're telling your brain, this is how it's going to go. I think, like, if I listen to this, I won't have this song anymore. I wonder if that's even a bigger element of actually doing it.
The funny thing, and it's like everything in life is arbitrary to a certain degree. Like we put the meaning in things, you know, like we were talking about the limb thing, you know, like if you're an amputee and then this new surgical procedure, outpatient procedure. Like I think it's understood across the world how that's valuable.
But like, if you think about, you know, a lot of people stated a jobs, well, it's important to their family for the means of the end. It might not be the most meaningful work, but if you think about like this, like there are people that spent a lot of time. I want energy, a lot of money trying to figure out how to get rid of ear worms. You know what I mean? It's like, here's our solution. Like we have these, these people who study music and sounds and they've crafted this and it's like, I mean, in the end, like this is, this could be a very popular thing. And it is.
a solution to a problem. That's what a lot of people try to do. It's like you understand what a problem people have. That's what invention is. It's the mother of necessity.
Right, it's just funny sometimes when you think like somebody dedicating a year or two of their life and it's like, I help people get rid of music in their head. You know what I mean? But it's like, but I'm not downplaying that. Like that's the whole point of what I'm trying to say is that like it's funny. The different things that we put our mind to and like what the outcome is and the different scales of like priority is like someone did this, but this is awesome. Cause it is going to make some people be like, thank God this song is out of my head.
This is a little bit of a side danger from that. But you know, the song, the song, you know, the song, Baby Shark. Yeah, yes, I do. So there's a rapper who made a pretty cool song that sampled that bad song. He recently got killed in a shootout.
It was very sad because he wasn't around very long. He was like a kid, really, but he sampled that song. I just like quite enjoyed it. You would go out of your way to listen to it. Yeah, I did a couple of times. The gym. Yeah. Who was the, um, who was the other gang in West Side Story, the sharks and the jets? Because the football team. Aaron Rodgers. He's got your worst baby shark. He's got a brainworm.
Our next story is about Florence, Florence Fireball Flow Smith from Loveland, Ohio. What? Yeah. Fireball is in her name. No, it's a dink name. That's some smitty, bourbon, yoghurt man, Jensen. Like it's a yoghurt-bomb man, Jensen. She celebrated her 106th birthday. We didn't get an invite. Unfortunately not, she dated and invite the Loveland Frogman because that's how she lives so long. It's a joke. I'm kidding.
Well, he didn't show up either. I think he's a asshole. I think he's the reason she lives so long. She made a deal with him. He's like a genie and she granted her long life. Now, she's known to have a lively spirit and she loves adventure. Flow has. Flow marked the occasion by skydiving.
testament to her belief that age is just a number. She's a bit of a local legend, inspiring many to embrace thrills regardless of age. Flow's birthday, festivals didn't stop at skydiving. She also enjoyed a dance party with family and friends. When they asked Flow about the secret to her long life, Flow credited it to her positive outlook, staying active, and a daily shot of fireball whiskey.
You remember if Fireball was from college each other? I had a night where I had too much Fireball. I don't think you were there. I don't think it was. But it was more than 10 shots. When I blocked out at your birthday party, I remember having specifically 10 shots. And then I don't remember much else. And we're not big drinkers. No, we don't drink that often. That was college. Boozer is the last time I was drunk. So that was five or six months ago.
I had a bad moment when I realized I was I was aware how drunk I was off fireball because once again referencing rise against. Yeah, I was with my friend in his car and make it stop came on. And I couldn't sing along when I knew when I was aware enough to know that I didn't know the lyrics is when I was like, yes, this bad. Yeah, I don't.
So what usually happens is like, I haven't done this for a while, thankfully, is I, I drink a lot really fast. Cause if I sip it, I'm not going to get drunk or I will probably, but I'll be able to regulate myself. So if I know, if I know the goal is to be very drunk, I drink a lot very fast.
which is what happened for your birthday party. And this is not bad, but also for your wedding that happened. Yeah, you left early for that. I had to. I was the only one who was down and out from our party, but that's, that's usually what happens for me. Yeah. She also was quoted by saying, why slow down life when life has so much to offer? End quote, clearly fireball flow is proof that you're never too old to take the plunge.
Take the plunge. Just like skydiving, you get it fireball. Yeah. Yeah, there's like such a fine line between like living a safe smart life and then like actually enjoying life. It was like, what the fuck is a safe smart life? Well, I mean, you know, just like in all aspects of like not taking risky, not doing risky things, you know, career wise, financially skydiving wise, like you can't accidentally die skydiving if you don't go. But at the same time, you know, you'll be maybe you're healthy and alive at 90, but you didn't live a life.
Yeah, it's like, what do I even do? There is, it's being a fireball. There is a commercial out right now featuring Stavi, he's a comedian. And the ginger guy from the, I think it's called fake friends podcast with him and Bobby Lee. I don't know if any of you I'm talking about idea. There's two comedians and he's a big Ravens fan. Stavi is because he's from Baltimore and the commercials he lost a bet because of Ravens game.
He is punishment was shaving his eyebrows, and he goes, and the guy goes, are you happy as sad? I can't tell. And it's funny. It's, you know, you don't realize how important eyebrows are. It's true. It's a very funny commercial, but the end goes fireball.
I think this is a matter of if you do things in stride and you follow like they say like the 80-20 rule of like do exercise, eat clean, 80% do that, 20% you can have with your ice cream. Like even though it was daily, she probably was doing so much of the other stuff, physical activity. It's just a shot. Yeah, it's just a shot. I mean, there's people that live to like,
100 and like well I had a diet Dr. Pepper every day you know it's like that's not why yeah It's it's all kind of like you lived in spite of but it's like if you do if you do nine things right you're allowed to have a piece of cheesecake you're allowed to eat that pizza you know I mean it's like That's my thoughts on it. What do you think?
I, yeah, I think it's, I don't think the, the alcohol went into her system and cleaned it out every day. I, I just think you're right. Has he tackled bells for? Exactly. I think you're right. It's probably the healthy act of lifestyle she's living. And then she decides to do this once a day too. And probably some genes, you know, some genetic aspects of it. Something that's involved there. Yeah. She probably, you know, I don't, I don't know, but.
Now, there's somebody that should be sponsored by Fireball. Fireball should be all over that. They should actually should probably give me the next commercial. Good. But that's our last news story. If you're not on Patreon, that is right. If you're on Patreon, there are two more that you can look forward to. But in the meantime, make sure you stick around for this month's blind ranking.
What is up bizaros and welcome to this month's blind rankings. In this segment, I'm going to present a topic to Tyler and Charlie and they have to rank it without knowing what's coming next. Hey, y'all. Hello. Happy December. Merry Christmas. Wow. How the times have changed. I know we're recording this the same night as November. So if we look exactly the same. Oh, you don't. Oh, man, I popped my shirt off and everything. I know what you're more comfortable though is warm in here. So you're probably feeling good. I just thought you felt.
I thought he's like, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You look good. Ben, Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, guys. Merry festive. Did you do that on purpose? Yeah, you did. Do it. Do it for the camera. Oh, my. This is my workout shirt. Can you do jingle bells? Like we played it. You could, you could, you're not going to do the whole thing. But maybe that's for pay. That's Patreon. That's trying content. What is the topic for the day? The topic for this is the top.
Or movie icons. Oh, this is a good way to end the year. Oh my. Oh my. Already. Oh, so, OK, so one most iconic 10. It's still iconic, probably, but least iconic. Yeah. Correct. Wow. This is. Are there 10? This is a silly question. Are there 10, actually? There are 10. There's probably 10 screen queens. So I'm sure there's 10 iconic horror. So one is most iconic 10 is least. Yes. Awesome. Very good.
All right. You guys ready? I'm very excited for this. I think this would be really cool. Is this just by our own preference? Like, for instance, last month, if you couldn't remember that far back, it was based on scariest, not like our own preference. Is this our own preferences or is this like? This is your guys' preference. This is like a winner than us. All right. So I can have still reasons for why I put my answers. Yeah, because no one's going to agree with what I say. All right.
Charlie. Yes. Start with you. Oh, I go first again. Tyler, let's start with you. Okay. Ghost face. Okay.
You know, I feel like when we did, when we did, well, I'm thinking for more than just me and I don't like that, but when we did Nightmare on Front Street or one of those things, we did rankings and I personally feel like Ghostface, Jason, Michael Myers and Freddie should be some variation of one, two, three and four. Yeah.
That's my real life. We had the guy from Texas Chainsaw Master on the Earth. Yeah, he wrote it in himself. That was very funny. So you didn't even know his name because he's not, he's not top four. Yeah. But he was, he looked at us and he was like, I'm going to go with, let's see, I'm going to go with number three. I believe I already know one, two, three and four. Charlie, where are you putting ghost face? Representing Ohio.
I will put Ghostface in number two. I like that, dude. I like that. Why you guys put him so high? I told you. I think he's one of the top four. Have you ever seen Halloween? Those kids run around and Ghostface? Yeah. Yeah. That's my point. But a lot of people dress. My son dresses Michael Myers. Yeah. No, I'm just saying you see him all the time. It's very popular.
I think the further we get away from the 70s and 80s, the more. Ghost face distance. The more what? The more distance we are from like the Michael Myers and the phrase. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. We just had three new ones. I don't see. I just I agree with Charlie. I do see that. That's not why I picked it. But you see the mask a lot. But I already know my top four. I already told you who my top four are. You just don't know the order yet.
All right, Charlie. Yeah, Chuckie. Oh, does he have like a show? He does on sci-fi. I don't know if it's still around or not. It's supposed to be pretty good for my first. I heard it's OK. I never liked Chuckie. I actually heard it's supposed to be a dark comedy when it came out. It was, wasn't it? That's crazy. You know why it's a dark comedy? Because it all is not intimidating. So if he said Annabelle, you wouldn't
That's a doll. That's a different kind of doll. Sorry. You already prepped. You already preface. You're going to be using silly logic. So I'm not going to. Man, I'm going to go low, low, low, low. I think number eight. I think he's dumb. I think he's got the same name as me. I think he's dumb. I'm not going to lie. I was going to say eight, but then Charlie said it. So I'm going to go nine. Wow. And that's my reasoning. All right, Tyler. Pennywise.
Now this has been, yes, the book's been out for a long time. Yes, Tim Curry's came out in 1990. But if this was, if we were playing this in 2015, people will be like, who? And then 27 came out and everyone's like, Oh, I love Pennywise. But I do love Pennywise. You think he has London? Yes, I do.
They'll probably just remake the next movie in 20, 30 years. Right. I'm going to go with number, I mean, there's tons of room to flippity flop. I'm going to go number five. Middle. Yeah. Five. You sure? Six. Number six. Now you've read the book. Yeah. How is he described on the bark versus like Tim Curry's versus like the real
No, he's described the same way you would see Tim Curry or this guy. I think they're pretty differently described though. Like, what do you mean? Well, I mean, they just describe him as a clown. Like, they don't go into detail with like the sides of his head or if he sounds like the butler from. They just say a clown. Yeah. Fun fact. Mom used to dress up as a birthday clown.
Really? That's spooky in itself. Yes, you used to sit on the side of the house smoking cigarettes. I got a magnet that I used to have in my fridge that this clown, this person gave me a giant eagle and it was them not smiling but in clown makeup and it said, Bojo the clown.
Okay, let that fly, how it is. Hey, Bert. Is matching for Pennywise? Mm-hmm. I don't think he's has, I don't think he has the, the notability as a lot of those. I'm gonna go number nine. He doesn't have the pedigree. Putting him below a chalky is a little bit below a bluff, but I understand what you're saying. Like I was like, if this was 2016, right? Like if this was, we were doing this before 2017. Yeah. Yeah. No, I understand.
All right, Charlie. Jigsaw the Clown. But is it Jigsaw the Clown? He's a doll. He's a marionette. Yeah, he rides a little bicycle. He's like, look at my tricycle. I'm scary. I want to play a game. I was actually looking for the song movies on anything streaming. I couldn't find them for free.
Yeah, it's on to be quite a bit to be. Yeah, I didn't check there. You didn't ask me for a link in the link. I wasn't looking for Richard link later. I wasn't on link in Rhett and link. You didn't ask me for any of those. I did not. You're right. This is also lower. He's got more movies than Pennywise. I think Shucky too. So I'm going to put him higher. I'm going to put him five middle.
Tyler, where are you putting jigsaw? Really? Yeah. I mean, the guy's creepy, but he's not the doll. You know what I mean? Like, he's like a, he's like a symbol. Yeah. I think they're all kind of symbols though. No, Ghostface kills you. Pennywise kills you. Chucky has a body trapped in my killers. You jigsaw shows up and lets you know that the other guy who actually did the real stuff was around. Okay. I get that. But I mean, symbols can be scary. Symbols have meaning.
All right, Tyler, Freddy Krueger. Here we go. Let's go. Number two. One, two, fuck my shoe.
Yeah, Freddy Krueger is one of the top four classic, scary, funny, very creative deaths. He's not just stabbing you. Did you watch the new one like 2010? Yeah, like Jackie Earl Hale or Haley. I don't know who that is. I saw the 2010 one. Yeah, he plays Freddy Krueger in it.
He's like, do you know, when you die, your brain activity is seven minutes of blah, blah, blah. So I got five more to play with you. Was it good? I didn't watch it. It was fine. It was fine. I was 18 when I saw you get him. Like, don't trust anything. I said 18. Like, uh, what's his face? Uh, trying debt. He doesn't have seven minutes left. He was just blood out of respect. He got Amber heard it on that bed.
Out of respect, I'm going to go to number three. Yeah. If you weren't going with, uh, respect. Yeah. I don't know. I think he's ugly. Probably number seven. Now we're making a beauty pageant. All right, Charlie. Yes. Leatherface. Oh, from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I've just learned six. Six. He's got like what? Two movies? No, no, he's got more than that.
And he has remakes. He's based on a true story. Number six. Do you want to say it happened? What? Do you want to say it happened? I have a hunch. Was it Texas? Oklahoma. No, man. This isn't about Finland, man. Oh my gosh. Let's see. This is tough because it
Right now, my opinions are all anchored around Pennywise. Do I believe he's one above Pennywise, or do I believe he's one below Pennywise?
Man, because Pennywise could just become, I mean, but you could use that argument for any of these. Pennywise could just become the Texas chancellor massacre if that scared you enough. Yeah. But that's not how it's too late. That's not what I heard, Tyler. We're going with my preferences here. Let's put Leatherface at seven. There was a time where I thought people online, before I knew what modding was, people said that Leatherface was in Grand Theft Auto, San Andreas, just like Bigfoot.
ice and i was twelve so i had i had the time i spent so much time searching the the woods in the back woods for leather face and big fun they got so creative they're like you have to be at this cabin
when it's raining at 3 a.m. and it was just modding. And I didn't know what that was. It's where you alter games. Sure for modifications. Yeah, you could make the main character track. You know what I mean? But back when I'm 12, I'm like, I'm looking at this. This is real. I don't know what, you know, modding is. I don't know what.
So my name is like they did it online. They changed the code in the game. You changed the game code. So like you could actually see it. Yeah. Yeah. What I know is like they changed it on their. Yeah. Yeah. You would have to mod my disc. Yeah. You know what I mean? But they like they took a picture of their game and put on Picco in my space. And I was like, it was fun though. I looked fondly upon that time.
All right, Tyler, we're going to go with Michael Myers. Four. It's already predetermined. Already pretty spoken. Now he is certainly iconic. And I consider him a top four. I consider I consider him a legit horror movie icon, but I'll always put him for what for because I think he's boring. I think his kills are boring. I don't think he is just.
He's still four. Did you watch the 2017 one or 2018? No, that's that's a really good one. I feel like kind of insane doing this. Try where you put them. Michael Myers, for me, is bigger than the movie. So I'm going to go number one.
We should watch Halloween three, two, three. Three is the one that he's not in it, right? Where the kids wear the mask and the pumpkin and it turns into cockroaches. That's three of those, isn't it? Yeah. I actually had to watch Halloween for my woman's studies class at college. That's cool. It was cool. She's a cool teacher.
What were you supposed to learn? What was the takeaway? Sometimes women get stabbed. Was I really? No, I do not remember the take away. I don't know. Okay. He's like, I didn't pay attention to close. And I did. All right, Charlie. Candy, ma'am. Is there a specific one you're thinking of or just no candy, ma'am?
He's the one with the hook and the bees. Yeah, bees. He's like the male Bloody Mary. He's a tear. He's died too. The actor, the main actor. Oh, that sound. Yeah. I'm tired or something like that. And the film died when Jordan Peele, sorry, Jordan Peele. You're one of my favorite directors. You're one of my favorite directors, but there is not good. I'm going to go with number 10. Yeah, number 10, because I had a thing for me. I was like, who's Candyman? Yeah, I know who he is, but I'm going to put him at 10 as well.
All right. You guys ready for the last two? You know, it doesn't help that. I also didn't love the movies. Like not even just like peels. Like I watched the other ones on sci-fi and I was just never. Do you think it's because it was on sci-fi? No, I mean, I watch a lot of sci-fi. Also, bees don't scare me. What? You've seen me get stung. It doesn't affect me. That's crazy. Yeah, I just see you get stung. Yeah. It must be a Charlie. My daughter, Charlie, when she is terrified of bees. Bees suck.
be sucked. No, you probably don't like hornets and wasps. Nope. Don't like honey bees either. Okay. They make honey. All right, guys. You're over the last two. Yep. We have art the clown and Jason. Perfect. Interesting. This is what I was hoping. Jason, number one, art the clown. I truly believe art the clown. You are on a path.
like like when when when the son of the CEO and nepotism and you're like you're the next one kid you're going to this whole this whole building is going to be always one day that's you are at the clock you're not going to take over for anyone else but you are like it's a it's a night they gotta build a new horse or more or yes they need to some starches one is horror movie icon nightclub
And there's a red carpet, there's a red rope, and right next to the bouncer is Art the Clown. I would put Art the Clown on par with Ghostface. Not yet. I would.
Now, yeah, you've seen one movie and you think that though, so I'm proud. Yeah, I'm proud of you. I think, well, because it's not just one movie. I mean, it's really been around since like 2008, 2009. Well, yeah, the shorts. I mean, you've watched one movie. Yes. That's what I mean. You're making, you made that opinion off of one movie. But I've seen all the ghost faces, which I love. It screams one of my favorite movies, but I think art the clown already is on par with ghost face.
us podcast an interview with the actor who plays about the clown. David nice. He was so nice. Yeah. That was ridiculous. I'm apart number seven and Jason number four. I don't know. I feel like I feel like Jason is really top four.
And then art, I still think like he's too new. He's got to build his way up. But let me ask you this. Why do you think Jason has to be in the top just because the amount of movies he's made or has been made about him? I'll tell you why. And you're going to think it's silly because he's got that one music, the one movie poster with him holding the shedding. It's like blue. And it kind of looks like Ed Sheeran's book cover and it literally makes me really like it. So before.
I'll, my answer, when I think of horror movies instantly, I think of the hockey mask. I think of the machete. I think he is purely iconic. I think he's in the same way with Freddy Krueger. I think Freddy Krueger and Jason have more unique kills. Now, art the clown is getting there. I don't think Michael Myers are that exciting. And, uh, but that's what you're also saying that when you think of horror movies, you picture the hockey mask.
Yeah. Wouldn't you picture the William Shatner mask as well? Exactly. But the bag? The bag. Or are you talking about the, like... The mask. The Michael Myers mask. Yeah. The Shatner mask. He's got the white mask. Oh, I don't think of that one. I really don't. That's interesting. I do. I consider him, you know what I picture? I picture the knife pumpkin cover when I would go to family video. Don't make it sound like I'm crapping on Michael Meyer. He's in the nightclub. He's already on five drinks. Yeah.
He likes, uh, I know, but I'm just like, you're referencing the mask and I feel like Michael Myers, the hockey mask jumps. Yeah. I think if somebody did this and they had any of those four that I have top four in any order, I wouldn't, you, I wouldn't complain. I think you can make an argument for pretty much any of them. That's good that he's endorsing my list. And let me tell you, Ben, I'm, I ain't changing a damn thing.
I'm not doing a single flip flop. Not one. How about you? Not. I'm going to flip. I'm going to flip. Go space for Pennywise. Just kidding. I'm not doing that. I will flip. I'll tell you what I would flip on yours, but after after you say yours, I'm going to flip art and Jigsaw. That's a good flip.
So when jigsaw was five, I would have switched your penny wise with jigsaw five. That's what I would have done. But I think you made the right choice. I like that you got our, we got our top five are the same in different order. And that's, that's, I think correct. Tyler, will you read back your list?
From bottom to top, I got Candyman, Chuckie, Jigsaw, Leatherface, Pennywise, Arthur Clown, Michael Myers, Ghostface, Freddy Krueger, and Jason Voorhees. In my top 10, from the bottom up,
is Candyman makes sense to me. Number nine, Pennywise, number eight, Chuckie, seven, Jigsaw, six is a lot of the face, Texas man. Number five is Arthur Clown. Number four is Jason. Number three is Freddy Krueger. Number two is Ghostface. And number one is Michael Myers.
Is there anyone that you would put on this list that isn't currently on this list? I mean, Annabelle's become something. The none. The none has become something. That's hard because these are more slashers, I think, right? Pennywise is not. OK, I taught myself how that never mind alien from alien.
I almost included the Xenomorphs. Yeah. I mean, Chucky and Candyman and Jigsaw's eight through 10, you know, if you just said Annabelle, maybe the none, I'm not a fan of even, but that's personal. Like, I understand there are people that really like that. I don't feel like Annabelle's got the street cred yet. I don't, I don't know. It's, it's the, I mean, Annabelle and the none are riding the Conjuring series. Yeah. Like that's,
Their thing like even the old lady from like insidious, you know, like that's Become something but I can't think of anything add to this though. Maybe I'm just not thinking hard enough. I think I think xenomorphs could be an argument could be made. Yeah, but I don't think it's quite the same
No, I agree. I don't mind this list. I think this is pretty good. I think Pennywise has got an opportunity to, well, in Charlie's case, move up because he's got the welcome, the dairy is coming out. Oh, yeah, that's true. So that's going to be out. More opportunity. He's got to get out there. You got to be doing your work. Yeah. I was staying in the collective content. That's what Pennywise said. Always.
always. But thank you Ben for the idea and the topic and the list. I hope everyone played along and let us know your list, whether it's on the Spotify comment or YouTube comment. But thank you guys so much for watching and we're listening. We appreciate you and stay tuned for next month's line rankings.
