Welcome to another episode of Fringe Beyond Limits.

Again, another episode sans Brie in studio.
I'm there in spirit.
Yeah.
Well. You guys got the Ouija board going. I'm there. Yeah.
Let's keep in touch. Okay.
You know what? No. Take a bite? No. I will not stay in touch.
Sorry.
Well, that sucks for you, doesn't it?
Probably. So. Yep. All right. Well, ladies. What's up?
Crack-a-lackin'. Why is it so damn cold in this state?
Dude.
Because it's shitty state. It's so cold.
Dude, it's so nice. Are you kidding me?
It's cold.
Driving to work this morning.
I was freezing all day.
It was 45 degrees.
Yeah, but the wind was like blowing a bajillion miles an hour.
Yeah, I know. But like I had the windows like a quarter of the way down, blasting some music.
And the heat. I don't mind like the heat cranked and the windows down. That's kind of nice.
I do that. My wife hates it. Oh. Yeah. I do that all the time.
I do that sometimes.
Yeah. I mean, you just. Butt warmer on.
Yeah.
You just find that balance.
Yeah.
Oh, this is great. Oh, God. Such a, such a waste.
Well, it's better than the other way. You don't want to have the air conditioning on and the windows open. That's just stupid.
Yeah. Do you think, well, we could do that in the summertime.
No, you don't want to do that. That's dumb because it's humid up here.
Yeah, it is humid up here. Yeah. Anything fun to share?
There was a rose-breasted cross beak in my backyard.
A rose-breasted cross beak.
Gross.
G. A gross beak.
Yeah. A boy and a girl. They were cute.
A boy and a girl. How could you tell the difference?
The boy had the red boobs.
That tracks.
See, Frank, look what you're missing on bird watching.
You could be talking about breasts all day and tits.
Yeah.
You could be looking at tits all day.
Not the right ones.
They have cocks, too. You could look at cocks if you want.
Oh, there are a lot of cocks.
Wood cocks.
Cock-a-doodle-doo.
Cock-a-doodle-doo.
All right. I'm going to leave the McDonald's farm now. It's like, what? Yeah. That stumped you? I need your raise. Miss Bree? Yeah. Do you have anything to add about cocks and red breasts? Would you like to add to this?
No, but I do have a cock on video going cock-a-doo-a-doo.
You have a cock on what?
I'm video going cock-a-doodle-doo.
I'm video going cock-a-doodle-doo. Brian?
Yeah.
Yeah, is that Brian?
No, cock.
Yeah. I guess you're right. Brian's is so small, we call it a wee-wee.
Oh, got it.
Yeah.
You just called him wee-wee.
I told you. Oh, wow. So sexy.
I even tell him, like, why are you saying that? Why are you saying, like, cock or dick or penis? He goes, why not? Wee-wee. I'm like, oh, my God.
Hey, baby. Let me use this wee-wee on you. Like, I don't even know how you would broach that. run away you're like if like people didn't say cuss words how they would talk dirty oh yeah that's true hey baby let me see if you can handle this pee pee
Wow, how did we get so off the rails? I have no idea.
Well, maybe from your cock stories.
I'm talking about birds. Me too. You brought up cocktail.
Yeah, this is what happens. You derailed me.
Well, you should have better tracks. And I kept going.
You were the penny on my track.
You're welcome.
Thanks. So, anyway, tonight's topic is, Ms. Brie? Something I've never been called. Yes. Yeah, so.
I honestly don't know much about Slender Man.
You know, I remember watching that documentary about the girls.
Oh, that's my thing.
In Wisconsin, the murders, or the attempted murder.
Yeah, I still don't know. No?
I'm sure.
A real thing? Yeah. You'll get the information.
Yeah, it's actually pretty interesting. Okay. Yeah, so it was made up. Was it Creepypasta?
You know you're talking about the whole episode right now. Okay, fine. I'll just start. Jesus Christ. I'm just trying to fill Miss Lynette in. Well, I'll get filled in. Plus you'll learn.
I'm sure you will. She's my niece. So, with all that cock talk. All right, so here we go. Slenderman. Some stories are passed down through generations, whispered in the dark, carried by word of mouth, shaped by time.
