Welcome to another episode of Fringe Beyond Limits.
Bree's muted.
God damn it.
Oh my gosh.
I hit mute. Yeah, you hit mute.
What did I do there? I don't remember clicking it. I was so confused. I'm like, why are you saying beyond? I said beyond. Yeah.
You guys are killing me. You guys are really, really killing me. Killing me.
Killing me softly with his song.
Oh, maybe I did do it. I think I did actually. Oh, I did. I remember now.
It was a ghost.
It was a ghost.
Boo. How's everybody doing?
Good. I am texting you guys a picture because this is happening in real time, whether or not people believe it or not. I just sent you a text with a picture. Please look at it very carefully. Let me know when you get it.
This doesn't seem like good podcast material.
It really isn't.
I see it.
Okay. What number are we?
190. 190.
Now look at the top left and the top right.
I'm confused.
Out of all the shows, podcasts on Apple, we are 190.
Oh, I see what you're making me look at now. Got it. This is top shows in all categories.
Right.
How did that happen? People actually like us?
I hope not.
Nobody likes us.
I hope not. I think they listen just to bitch about us in the water cooler the next day.
Or they feel bad for us. 190 and we can't even get ourselves off mute?
I know, right? I'm still messing up left and right. Jesus. That's nifty. That is pretty nifty. That is very nifty. So, anyway.
I mean, we're like behind American Scandal.
Yeah. So every once in a while, you know, stupid things get popular. You know, that's a good thing to have, you know, under my belt now.
Can't wait to put it on my resume.
Yeah, right?
Oh, yeah.
All right. Well, tonight, what are we talking about? Do you guys know? Are you guys excited?
What's going on? Shadows.
We're going to talk. Shadows. Shadow people?
Shadows.
Yes. So, you guys have seen shadow people, right?
Oh, yeah. I have not.
Oh, you haven't.
No, I'm the one that don't get to see things. For some reason, things run away from me.
Yeah, I came face to face with one in Missouri State Penitentiary. And then you and I saw one on death row there too. On death row. Yeah. That was a wild night.
That was, that was a wild night. And that was the creepiest, like, that was not like cute. I don't know how to describe it. It wasn't really your standard, a shadow person. Like, no, it was like, how do you describe it? Like spidery long legs and like, like low to the crawling on the ground, like fours, but it's, but it was higher in the air.
Like if a person were. Yeah. So take slender man, right. With all his tentacles and put it into the size of like a dog. Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Spider dog. Spider dog.
Slender dog. Ooh, there we go. There it is.
I like the new concept. Yes. Put that on creepypasta. Yeah.
So, no, we can rent out Missouri State Penitentiary just us.
Just for like a measly like $10,000 or something, right?
No, it's like $1,500. It's very affordable. I thought they wanted like a bajillion dollars. No, that was Joliet. Oh, the one close to home. Yeah. The one in my backyard. Yeah. They want like $3,000 for like four hours. And we can go to where Shawshank was. I can't remember the name of it now. It's off the top of my head where Shawshank was filmed on a Saturday and a Friday or Saturday night. We can get it for three grand. And then during the week, Sunday through Thursday is 1500. I'm like, oh, I will definitely take a few days off to pay 1500 to go there.
Yeah.
You know, you think about it. All we need is seven other people and it's 150 bucks each.
I mean, if we're 190 on the charts.
Right. We should be able to get people to come with us.
Yeah.
She might die, though. They won't.
No.
They might kill us.
Yeah. Yes.
They may actually see our faces and be like, oh, that's what you guys look like? I don't want to listen to you. I thought you were taller.
I thought you were skinnier.
Or you'd be like Wilson, who thought you looked like Fabio.
