SPEAKER_00 0:06

Hello, there's a man and welcome back to another episode of the next episode and very nice out of time. So, I think that's a good one. Hello, look at these.

SPEAKER_01 0:44

Hello. How are you? I have to ask it. You can't ask it. Okay. Okay. You ready to be? You read the pink.

unknown 1:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:03

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:04

So hello.

SPEAKER_02 1:06

Hi Goldies. Um, so in today's episode, I don't think we've talked about this either.

SPEAKER_00 1:13

I don't think we have either. Like. And then we touched a little bit on.

SPEAKER_02 1:17

Like this. Right. But we haven't, you know, did a whole episode dedicated. And then we do have some fun things we're gonna do with these asylums.

SPEAKER_03 1:26

Correct.

SPEAKER_02 1:27

So I guess we can start with like what makes them so spook. Because they're always in haunted houses. They're always in like haunted and haunted houses too, to be honest. They always have like an insane asylum house.

SPEAKER_00 1:40

Um I think.

SPEAKER_02 1:42

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 1:44

I think it comes from the like old asylum style.

SPEAKER_02 1:55

So like American Horse Story asylum, which we did start watching.

SPEAKER_00 1:59

Like it was it was the back then Assain Asylums because I think they made them more like aggressive back then.

SPEAKER_02 2:07

Well, they did not know a lot about mental illness. Um let you know, back in the day.

SPEAKER_00 2:16

They did not.

SPEAKER_02 2:16

They they did not know um, you know, what anxiety, depression, they didn't they didn't know what deep depression was. They didn't know you know mania, they didn't know what any of that was.

SPEAKER_00 2:27

They didn't know any of the schizophrenia and stuff, so bipolar.

SPEAKER_02 2:33

There's a lot of mental illness that you know, and too, like back then, even if a woman or anybody seemed a little, you know, defiant or anything like that, they were always sent there regardless.

SPEAKER_00 2:45

Correct. And then their their way to tame that, I guess, was to give them lobotomies. Lobotomies and like electric shocks. Oh, the little hand Yeah, and they just you know drugged them up with these random medicines that didn't. They did a lot of testing with them.

SPEAKER_02 3:04

They they did because they didn't understand how to actually medicate them. Shout out Lexapro Shout out Lexapro, thank you. So yes, they did not know really how to tame or because I think like not a lot of the actual like therapy or psychology was implemented back then.

SPEAKER_00 3:57

It was all just test, all just like oh no, they're crazy, let's give them you know medicine or let's give them lobotomies. And the lobotomies were the worst because they like literally like did not care.

SPEAKER_02 4:15

No, they just did they treated them so subhuman just to just to figure out like what was wrong with them or what like was going on and all that stuff, and like they they damaged these people and they put them in a predicament of like they were like if more fucked up going in there and like leaving than they were a lot a lot of the times, a lot of the times, all they really probably needed was like someone to talk to them, and that's it.

SPEAKER_00 4:44

But they didn't have that, they just snatched them up real quickly, put them in a cell, mind you. Not even a room, like not even a room, they put a cell and and they like nine times out of ten, just from like looking at old school like pictures and videos and stuff, nine times out of ten, they'll be in rooms with just a little square little window with bars on them.

SPEAKER_02 5:04

They treated like it was a jail.

SPEAKER_00 5:06

And I bet you that the little room was cold, and the floors were cold.

SPEAKER_02 5:09

And they always had those dirty ass nightgowns on. And them little dirty beds. Mm-hmm. I feel like they could not have their own clothes, which sucks.

SPEAKER_00 5:17

As soon as they got there, they just put them in the little nightgowns. It's like, come on. They did. They put them in the nightgowns. You know it was cold, you know it was stank. It's real stuff because they could they didn't have no baths or nothing. They treated these humans like animals. Literally, just because they had something wrong with them or something was different from them.

SPEAKER_02 5:36

A lot of times too, because the American horror story touched on it a little bit when we watched it, but if they were gay, if they uh because Lana was a little lesbian and she was she was tried, you know, they tried to convert her.

SPEAKER_00 5:50

Correct. And strict. But sometimes some of these people won't have nothing wrong with them, they'll just do something that's like out of the ordinary.

SPEAKER_02 5:56

A lot of times people's husbands could like a go and have be like, hey, my wife is crazy.

SPEAKER_00 6:02

And they're there. There's nothing wrong with them, like completely nothing wrong with them, right? But them giving them like the medicine, doing all the lobotomies, all the shit. This person winds up being crazy in the end.

SPEAKER_02 6:16

So they're like, oh yeah, that's what like no, bitch, you made that.

SPEAKER_00 6:18

You made them that.

SPEAKER_02 6:19

You made okay. You you made them. You made me crazy. You made me I did not ask to be crazy. You made me crazy. Correct. Interesting. Correct.

SPEAKER_00 6:32

And now I'm around all these other crazies, so I'm gonna pick up on their personalities.

SPEAKER_01 6:36

Hashtag Ray. Hashtag Ray. Correct. Hashtag Sunhealth.

SPEAKER_03 6:43

Um anyway.

SPEAKER_02 6:53

Yes, that is true though. That is very true.

SPEAKER_00 6:56

But it's very crazy. Like I just I like just thinking about it.

SPEAKER_02 7:05

I think well, and the lack of control, I think is what makes it so scary. Like you don't have anything to yourself anymore.

SPEAKER_00 7:15

At all.

SPEAKER_02 7:16

Your schedule is completely up to other individuals, other humans.

SPEAKER_00 7:21

Correct.

SPEAKER_02 7:21

Other humans. And you don't have any of your personal belongings anymore. Correct.

SPEAKER_00 7:25

But like, but back in the day, like now it's kind of probably like, you know, developed ten times more like towards. Right, we wouldn't know. But right, right, right, right. But back then, I think they literally just like they probably could come out at some point.

SPEAKER_02 7:48

Like to the day room.

SPEAKER_00 7:49

Yeah, but like the majority of the time I feel like they're probably just in the room or getting test on or also because they never they didn't have like a cafeteria to eat at with each other.

SPEAKER_02 7:59

Yeah, I think like from at least what it's always like shown in the movies and stuff, they just have the trays like jail.

SPEAKER_00 8:05

Like and it's not in the like in the little cubby thing or underneath the um door or whatnot. Or like they're I couldn't either.

SPEAKER_02 8:12

No, let me have a tray. Like, let me go somewhere to eat.

SPEAKER_00 8:16

Right. Please.

SPEAKER_02 8:16

And this and they fed them fed them sloped. Oh, correct. They fed them porridge as much as they could that was bulk produced.

SPEAKER_00 8:24

Like I would go in here like hefty as as can be, and then come out as a a little twig because all I ate was like a little porridge.

SPEAKER_02 8:31

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 8:32

If I even got out.

SPEAKER_02 8:34

If because that's the thing too, is I think a lot of them just didn't get out, like wasn't able to leave.

SPEAKER_00 8:40

And that made them more crazy because like you you take away, you take away sun, you take away the outside, you take away anything that made them feel normal, and now they're stuck in this confined space space to now they're just like, What what do I do but to go crazy?

SPEAKER_02 8:58

Because it's gonna make it more entertaining.

SPEAKER_00 9:00

Right.

SPEAKER_02 9:01

If you give them some well, I mean just fuck it.

SPEAKER_00 9:03

And that's how some people develop 72 people in their head.

SPEAKER_02 9:07

I don't understand.

SPEAKER_00 9:08

You know what I mean? Just so they can talk to them.

SPEAKER_02 9:10

Talk to some exactly, have friends.

SPEAKER_00 9:12

Right. I can see you now, like you you created these images of people because you have not had any interactions with anybody, but now the doctor's gonna be like, oh yeah, they have schizophrenia or whatever, blah blah blah blah.

SPEAKER_02 9:29

No, I never did until until you locked me in a freaking room for 23 hours a day. As a human, we crave connection, we crave relationships.

SPEAKER_00 9:38

And if I'm by myself, I'm gonna have to create something for myself. Correct. And then all this is gonna be me making up 72 people in my head when I never had these 72 people in my head.

SPEAKER_02 9:50

That's why, like, have you seen Split?

SPEAKER_00 9:52

Yeah. I loved that. We watched it together, I think.

SPEAKER_02 9:54

We did I love that movie so much.

SPEAKER_00 9:56

And he did a great job. Patricia? Patricia.

SPEAKER_02 9:59

I think he did such a good job in that movie.

SPEAKER_00 10:02

Like he did wonderful.

SPEAKER_02 10:04

Uh and I still consider that horror because it's a sci-fi, like, I consider that more thriller. Correct. Which is which is, you know, but I think that's still mental illness is like always why do you think they use it in horror so much?

SPEAKER_00 10:20

I think because of the craziness. I think people who aren't familiar or aren't like or don't have knowledge of any of that some are afraid of crazy. You know what I mean? Yeah. Cause when they're in when they're in haunted houses or like in their when they're in horror films, yeah. I feel like it's like more so the schizophrenia, more so the like just going insane that terrifies people.

SPEAKER_02 11:05

Yeah. Well, it's because of you you just lose control of yourself.

SPEAKER_00 11:10

And it makes you animal, basically. It makes you uh this creature. And then like to to normal people, you look like distorted, you know, in the face and the body and all that stuff, and I think they use that in horror because of that reason, because of the insanity, because of like normal people, normal people wouldn't be able to really understand.

SPEAKER_02 11:41

If you don't have any type of like things going on in your head, you're not gonna understand when people say, you know, I hear voices or my brain won't shut the fuck up. Like people don't understand that.

SPEAKER_00 11:54

And then like, because the way they do it in in like horror movies or like in like haunted houses, is you're in the asylum itself, it's so quiet, and everything's just dark, dim. Yeah, you don't know what's going on, and you you're put into that space. So now you're you're terrified already, right? Just be putting in that space, and you hear all these people just yelling and hollering, and then like they, you know, get in your face, like that's terrifying.

SPEAKER_02 12:28

Well, yeah. That's scary. That is very it's you're you're just not in control of your own thoughts, your own body, your own mind anymore.

SPEAKER_00 12:37

And I think that's what that's what scares people is not being in control of their own thinking process. And I think putting that in horror plays with that. Because when you do when they do it in movies and like TV shows, they place the people in there, but like the people like get locked in the rooms, or they get lost, and then they or they hear, you know, Becky Sue over here yelling down the hallway, which she could have been normal. Right. We just don't know.

SPEAKER_02 13:12

You never know what's gonna be. But she's been there so long, yeah. So now she's just going crazy, and you never know what happens in people's lives. You have no idea when they close their doors, what in the world people are going through.

SPEAKER_00 13:26

And it's like, you know how like you know, we have our roles and stuff for horror. You know how we say, you know, animals know, like cats and dogs know of entities like being there, children know of entities being there. It's the same with crazy people because there's a whole brainwave that just that we're not if somebody came, like for let's just do a scenario.

SPEAKER_02 13:52

Say if one of us was in a hospital for some reason. Say one of us, um, and Miss Becky Sue came to me or you and said, Hey, there's a motherfucking ghost in here. I'm like, bitch. But you are correct. You're correct. Let's go ahead and tell the nurses correct. Where are where did you see them?

SPEAKER_00 14:15

What did they look like?

SPEAKER_02 14:16

Like, let me go ahead and tell the nurses, because I believe you.

SPEAKER_00 14:19

Correct. Describe them to me because I need to know.

SPEAKER_02 14:22

Because they are, they are on a different wavelength. And I think that's also in horror what people get scared about because they can see things that we can't. They can just like animals, just like children or whatever, they see the unknown.

SPEAKER_00 14:37

And that's what the thing is, too. Like for Haunted House is you have Becky Sue over in the corner, like, watch out for Fred.

SPEAKER_02 14:43

Right, and it's like that. And then like with Fred. But how do you see do you see Fred?

SPEAKER_00 14:48

Right, and we don't know who Fred is, and then here comes something out of nowhere. Right. Like, is that Fran?

SPEAKER_02 14:53

Like you know, it's true. It's it does. You do not know what is like your reality is so warped, you don't know what's real anymore. That is probably I think that's one of my favorites, like, motifs in a haunted house, is like the hospital, because hospitals just in general.

SPEAKER_00 15:14

Hospitals and asylums in general are the most terrifying places.

SPEAKER_02 15:18

Cause you can go, you that is like the so realistic because you can go there without even realizing, or you're you can wake up one day and not know that's where you're gonna end up that night.

SPEAKER_00 15:29

Well, and that's the thing too, like it's it's so real, it's so relatable. It's like a thing that can really happen. Exactly. And there's so many deaths.

SPEAKER_02 15:41

So it is. It's just a constant just people are getting born, or people are being born, and then you have deaths, then you have people sick, then you have people really, really happy, you have people just finding out they have cancer. It's just all stages of life.

SPEAKER_00 15:55

All stages of life. It's so like it just it makes the energy like just a weird, like they have it's so much energy. Because you don't know, like you'll be you'll be there for something else, and somebody else will be down a hallway for something totally different, or you know, you have the moms um giving birth to all these children, but then you have a child losing their mother down the hall. You know what I mean? Like it's it's just it's crazy and it's very scary. But in asylums though, like this person went in normally, yeah, but then now they're on all these uh drugs, pills, or whatever, medicine, they get all these lobotomies, they get all these shocks and stuff.

SPEAKER_02 16:38

Lobotomies are like who I just want to know who thought of all these tests to do to these humans. Who like that's the scary part of asylums too? It's humans doing this to other humans. So, how fucked up are you as a person to want to do this to people?

SPEAKER_00 16:54

And like they would sit there and like dig in their eyeballs.

SPEAKER_02 16:56

That's what, yeah, like you, I think if I'm not mistaken, you like poke the eyeball or whatever.

SPEAKER_00 17:00

Yeah, because they come out like right, and then like they do that little shock thing on your head. Like, why are you doing that?

SPEAKER_02 17:08

Why? And how as a person But is this testing? Correct, like as a person, how did you come up? And it's like when you know that other just normal people have the ability to really fuck you up, like the doctors and nurses in the Satan Silence who did that are probably more crazier than the Absolutely They have to be because you have to have some sort of correct or I'm not okay. We're when we say crazy, we're not trying to be like bel like d um derogatory or anything, it's just a general term, right? Um, but when you're sitting here and you can automatically like say out loud, hey, I wanna do a lobotomy to Becky Sue, for what? What are you trying to work through? And what are you like you want to be a serial killer but just like legally?

SPEAKER_00 18:01

See, and that's another thing, that's another thing of why asylums are very like horror-based and scary, because the doctors can turn out to be serial killers, and that's the only reason. Like they'll have new patients coming in, they'll be the nicest person, whatever, but then at the end of the day, they just want to kill this person.

SPEAKER_02 18:22

And you can cover up deaths so easily in an asylum. Because nine times like, say if they come in for self-harm, say if they try to commit suicide, whatever the case may be, all you have to do is say, hey, this person did something in the room. Well, and then who was really gonna investigate especially back in the day.

SPEAKER_00 18:40

And those are those are the easier victims for those doctors because they already wanted to go themselves.

SPEAKER_02 18:46

Correct.

SPEAKER_00 18:46

Yeah. So then the doctors are like, oh, you already want to do it anyway. But sir, this the reason why I'm in here is so I can get help. Correct, because I don't want to do it. Because I don't want to do it. But I was just a little sad. Right.

SPEAKER_01 19:26

Sometimes we get a little sad, okay?

SPEAKER_02 19:28

You know, and guys, and you know, when we say this, you know, a bitch does not have good mental illness. So we're it's just relatable.

SPEAKER_01 19:39

Um and it's fine.

SPEAKER_02 19:42

It's fine, it's fine. But it it is true though, and that is, you know, you know, especially back in the day, back in the day, they didn't have good like police tactics, and you know, the po obviously they didn't investigate as hard as they probably would now.

SPEAKER_00 19:59

Right.

SPEAKER_02 20:00

If something like that happened, and they guarantee you they probably didn't have all the compliance regulations, HIPAA, all that fun stuff. So somebody could really get murdered.

SPEAKER_00 20:10

Well, and then they didn't I I I don't think that they took great care of patients back in the day. Like back in when it like first started and all that stuff. I literally think that they treated an asylum as just a nut house.

SPEAKER_02 20:24

Yeah, it's anything.

SPEAKER_00 20:25

And they just drop people off there at the nut house and then say goodbye.

SPEAKER_02 20:30

For sure. We have an assaint we have an asylum or whatever in Kentucky. Right. The Waverly, and all that was just a tuberculosis unit. And they sent them there because they were sick and they didn't know what else to do with them. Right. So like it was a mixture of if you're sick, sick, if you're sick in the head, they that was such a place that they just did not know what to do.

SPEAKER_00 20:52

So they just sent everybody. And then and then that and then I'm like, how many people can you fit in here?

SPEAKER_04 21:00

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 21:01

Because what do you do if it gets overcrowded?

SPEAKER_04 21:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:04

Do you like get rid of the weakest? Do you get rid of like the most crazy one? Like, you know what I mean? Like, how do how do you weed out and how do you not make it so crowded?

SPEAKER_02 21:21

Correct.

SPEAKER_00 21:22

But there are some asylums though that are like giant.

SPEAKER_02 21:25

They yeah, I'm Waverly is insane.

SPEAKER_00 21:28

Like giant. Like they have like five floors.

SPEAKER_02 21:30

That's Waverly is fucking insane. They we can investigate it. I don't think I could ever be um I could I can investigate places.

SPEAKER_00 21:40

I just can't stay tonight.

SPEAKER_02 21:42

I could investigate if we were in a whole group. Because my only thing, because the every- Yeah, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna just check us. Me and you would not be able to get out of the car. We would we would part the thing is we would get down there, we would um do like content, we would do the whole road trip there.

SPEAKER_00 22:00

We would even take pictures, but the moment we park, the moment we park, because I know us, I know that we would get this this weird, like we would either vibe or we would see something. We would see something. And we would be like I'd be like, no, you know what?

SPEAKER_02 22:22

That's not happening.

SPEAKER_00 22:23

I'm out.

SPEAKER_02 22:24

Like it's not happening at all.

SPEAKER_00 22:25

At all.

SPEAKER_02 22:27

I don't know if I could ever because like the Bobby Mackeys, so many people said that when they investigated shit got attached to them. And who?

SPEAKER_00 22:35

Because I'm not.

SPEAKER_02 22:36

No, I already took a leave. I can't take another one.

SPEAKER_00 22:38

Correct.

SPEAKER_02 22:39

Like I temporarily. Correct. Bitch, I cannot be on this couch and just look look in the hallway.

SPEAKER_00 22:47

And see something down there.

SPEAKER_02 22:48

Bitch, I would shit myself.

SPEAKER_00 22:52

Well, it's like it's not long or anything, but you do have like a little type of hallway when it does get dark and you you see around the corner a little head is popping.

SPEAKER_02 23:01

That's what I'm saying. You've been in here. You've been here when it's pitch black dark.

SPEAKER_00 23:05

Right.

SPEAKER_02 23:05

So like if I just was here and I just saw a little head.

SPEAKER_00 23:10

Right. Cause I don't I don't. My hallway is just a long straight drive. It don't have the crooks or crannies. Like you go down the hall and then you have the doors to the rooms. Yeah. So I my you can't have nobody peep around.

SPEAKER_02 23:21

No, you would see a full operation. I we would see a peep.

SPEAKER_00 23:24

You'll see a peep, but I'll see a full this one.

SPEAKER_02 23:26

I would grab Noah. And I would grab my Bloom in the fridge. Can Bloom sponsor us? Because I really do love you, Bloom.

SPEAKER_00 23:34

Correct, we do love you.

SPEAKER_02 23:35

Um, and I would promptly get in my niece on Ultima. And Exact.

SPEAKER_00 23:40

I I would grab Noelle.

SPEAKER_02 23:42

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 23:43

And I might grab Clara.

SPEAKER_02 23:46

Do you gotta grab Clara?

SPEAKER_00 23:47

And I will get my little niece on the colour. Just not Sky. Sky's just he did too much. And it's just a sausage. I can't get him out. Not a sausage. Yes, he's he's large, he's heavy.

SPEAKER_02 23:58

Well, it's fine, it's fine.

SPEAKER_00 23:59

Just bring him.

SPEAKER_02 24:00

It's it's fine. I just gotta get my cat. Um so you know, that that kind of stuff, I don't know if I but yes, they have like 17 floors. It's so large. Um, and yeah, that was a tuberculosis unit.

SPEAKER_00 24:14

Like, can you imagine at the time going in there and it being like, I mean, tuberculosis, I don't know if anybody was like crazy or off the rockers at that point.

SPEAKER_02 24:29

If I'm not mistaken, I don't know the full history of it. Um, I don't know if it ever was that, but I know like before, basically right before it got super like broken down or ran down or whatever, um, it was for tuberculosis. And that was because they did not know where to send them. Because tuberculosis was contagious, so they were just like, I'm trying to shove all these people in like a random, you know, away from everybody until they got vaccines or whatever.

SPEAKER_00 24:59

Well, Waverly is like the that's where like people died all the time, so the course is gonna be haunted.

SPEAKER_02 25:06

Yeah, that's why so many people paranormally like investigate there.

SPEAKER_00 25:10

But my thing is, can you imagine if it wasn't like just for tuberculosis and it was actually like a true, true asylum with like people just you know, you know the crazy people. Imagine having that whole thing with thousands of floors basically filled with people hollering all day. I would lose my mind.

SPEAKER_02 25:34

I would start hollering with them.

SPEAKER_00 25:35

I would too. I'll be rocking in the corner with them.

SPEAKER_02 25:38

My like because that's a lot. Like Shutter Island had a really good um thing. Like, what if somebody goes violently and tries to like punch nurses and shit?

SPEAKER_00 25:49

I mean, it's known to happen.

SPEAKER_02 25:51

It is, it's known to happen, and it would what would fuck me up is I would not be able to like have my phone and be like, hey, you would just have to sit and watch and just just oh Billy Bob, why are you so mad? Why are you mad? Why are you angry? What happened? Right. That would I would just try to ask questions to people, but then it's like if you ask the wrong person the wrong question, right? You don't know what, and like when people are in there, at least for like right, I mean, just generally talking, you know, all of us have different triggers.

SPEAKER_00 26:25

Correct.

SPEAKER_02 26:25

All of us have different traumas, correct. We're all in there for a reason. Correct. We're all in there for a reason, but you don't know if you ask somebody if that's gonna trigger something, that trauma. And then what if you try to kill me? Right. Like, because you not only have to worry about the people, like the doctors, the nurses, uh, the horror I think also plays on, hey, you don't know what your little roommate is doing.

SPEAKER_00 26:49

Correct.

SPEAKER_02 26:49

You don't know if the person next to you is is gonna try to kill somebody.

SPEAKER_00 26:53

Correct. Because they can snap in a heartbeat. Or like you said, an entity that they created in their head can be like, yeah, go kill that person.

SPEAKER_02 27:04

Correct.

SPEAKER_00 27:05

And then they're like, okay.

SPEAKER_02 27:07

And again, like a lot of the time, if I'm locked in my room and y'all don't do room checks yet, what am I supposed to do?

SPEAKER_00 27:14

Right.

SPEAKER_02 27:15

Wait, wait a minute.

SPEAKER_00 27:16

You can't hear me holler.

SPEAKER_02 27:17

What am I thought of health to do?

SPEAKER_00 27:20

Because some of them can probably crawl out on top of you. Like, the the thing that would be scary to me is if I was in my room chilling, trying to sleep, and I woke up to George on top of me, looking, the smiling I would be like, I you know, I would.

SPEAKER_02 27:40

I would say George. Because like, do you remember the ward? We watched that movie, I don't know how many times. Because I feel like in horror, they always have like an entity in the unit that's like possessing everybody. Yes. They always do.

SPEAKER_00 27:55

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 27:56

And that is that the ward is really, really good. We've it's on Netflix, I think. But we've watched it a lot. And it was like this one girl that basically had all these entities in her head that um, and they uh they were they kept trying to like make her believe that she was not crazy. I don't know, it was it was weird, but it was good. It was good. Um, Shutter Island was really good. Did you ever watch did you ever watch Shudder Island?

SPEAKER_00 28:23

I did a long time ago.

SPEAKER_02 28:25

That was he did a really good job. Yes. And they were they were a little that was a little colorful. They had some crazy in there, they did.

SPEAKER_00 28:36

Well, and speaking on this, speaking on this, um I just saw your days run pink. I was like, oh wait.

SPEAKER_01 28:47

You know nobody can be outside on a window right now. I was like, bitch, I swear I've I've ran into too many. Too many. I've had too many ch too many I've had too many running.

SPEAKER_00 29:05

Um but so speaking on this, and if you're listening from work, I do apologize.

SPEAKER_02 29:12

Um what the fuck are you about to say?

SPEAKER_00 29:15

Because we so we in our area, right, we have um, what do you call it? The back room um that we go into to take files back and stuff. Well, some back there, because you know how you know they give people with disabilities drops to uh um art places and so they can have something to do. Yeah. Well, we have at least three of them who do talk to themselves.

SPEAKER_01 29:48

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_00 29:49

And it's very, very scary.

SPEAKER_01 29:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 29:53

And I think that like like I said, that's part of the horror aspect of asylum with those types that just talk to themselves. Because who are you talking to?

SPEAKER_02 30:04

It's a lot of like from like self-soothing. And that's that you know, they just they either feel like they don't have anybody to talk to. Well, I don't know, I don't know. Or they just have people inside them.

SPEAKER_00 30:15

It's just like it's it's very schizo, very disgusting.

SPEAKER_02 30:19

Unsettling, I would say.

SPEAKER_00 30:21

And they it's not like a like I don't think of it's like a Down syndrome thing.

SPEAKER_04 30:27

Mm-hmm. No.

SPEAKER_00 30:28

It's it's more so of like they're very like what do you call them? I think they still have like, you know, they s they can think, but they still like need help. I don't know what to call because it's not it's not Down syndrome.

SPEAKER_04 30:52

No.

SPEAKER_00 30:52

It's something else. I don't know. But anyway, like there's one, her name's Edie.

SPEAKER_02 30:57

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 30:58

Um, and she she will remember a lot, she'll remember your whole life. Like literally, she she she would re she knows your birthday, she knows your name. Oh, yeah. She knows when like you everything when you started. Like, she knows everything. And she's the nicest little thing, and she's so adorable. But like, you just catch her in the hallway sometimes, and she's talking to somebody.

SPEAKER_02 31:26

You never know who might be there though.

SPEAKER_00 31:29

And like, and sometimes like her her demeaneanor changes, and like, is this is somebody else? Are you somebody else? You like like swe what is it? Um split. Split. It's like split where he's demeanor changes when he's somebody else. And like that because sometimes like she she sometimes she will look at you like she don't know you. Yeah. Um sometimes it's like a friendly, like, you know, gesture. Yeah. And she don't say like your name or nothing. And then when we know when we know, when I know it's Edie is when she says my name.

SPEAKER_04 32:08

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 32:09

And that's the only the but any other time that she just looks and stuff like that, like that's not her. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 32:15

You know. So, okay.

SPEAKER_00 32:17

I think it's kind of scary.

SPEAKER_02 32:18

But you know, that is, that is. So let's let's think of some horror people, some some horror individuals, and how how we think they would be.

SPEAKER_00 32:30

Okay. Chucky, let's start with him.

SPEAKER_02 32:33

Chucky is going to terrorize everybody.

SPEAKER_00 32:34

Chucky is gonna terrorize everybody. Chucky's gonna be that one crazy who's just crazy.

SPEAKER_02 32:40

Chucky's gonna be somebody that is just very misunderstood. Okay, because I feel like 99.9% of people that are in these are just very misunderstood, and they just have shit that's happened to them and does not um does not know how to handle it.

SPEAKER_00 33:01

He would be the one.

SPEAKER_02 33:02

Which is fine.

SPEAKER_00 33:03

He would be the one that they do lobotomies on.

SPEAKER_02 33:10

But I feel like the lobotomies like would not even work on him.

SPEAKER_00 33:14

Or it would just or he's the one that they give all the medicine to to make him crazy.

SPEAKER_02 33:26

I think he's the ex he's the scapegoat. I feel like he came in there he came in there probably just like a little bit, because the thing is like you all you also if you had any like if you were any type of like rambush rambuskish, rambuskish kind of rambuscus, however you say it, um, or like had any sort of I think colorful personality, like they're gonna throw you in there and be like, you're you're too much, but it's like that's just my personality.

SPEAKER_00 33:55

Right.

SPEAKER_02 33:56

Because again, they did not understand different personalities.

SPEAKER_00 34:00

I think he was so you know aggressive, so they gave him chill pills.

SPEAKER_04 34:05

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 34:05

Those are wonderful. And I think he's the one that like finally snapped and makes him go crazy. I can see that.

SPEAKER_04 34:16

I could see that.

SPEAKER_00 34:16

I think I think that would be his his saying. Yeah. Now the person who would be skizy, I feel like would be.

SPEAKER_02 34:36

So and I want to preface we are not medical doctors, so um, this is just a fun, humorous debate.

SPEAKER_00 34:45

Just based off of their movie and the birthday.

SPEAKER_02 34:48

Yeah, so this is just fun. So if you have any of these disorders, we definitely do apologize.

SPEAKER_00 34:54

Yes. We're not making fun of it.

SPEAKER_02 34:56

We're not. This is just a fun little discussion. I'm gonna be very candid. Your Supreme has got some mental health issues as well. I do. So, you know, we just thought this would be a very relatable episode to all of our ghoulies that are also suffering with you know with some things. You know, I'm almost there, but it's okay. You know, and that's fine. Um, I did have to do a little stint. Um my cup table in it, but it's okay. I'll take you to it. I'll like my little cards bag, which you know, we had we can't have um razors. Um, but you know, so this is just yeah, we just this is just a fun little like debate, fun little relatability. We're all we can all, you know, do that. We love everybody, so um, so as far as that, from what we know, that's like multiple voices and everything. Um I meant this is like really like long, long. Like a long shot?

SPEAKER_00 35:57

Yeah, like it's a very long shot. But maybe ghost face.

SPEAKER_02 36:05

Well, that would kind of make sense just because there are so many ghost faces.

SPEAKER_00 36:11

And like if you think about it, like we can make one person the main ghost face.

SPEAKER_02 36:16

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 36:17

But he or she thinks that they're all these other ghost faces in all the movie. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02 36:22

No, like that definitely makes sense, I feel like.

SPEAKER_00 36:24

And that's why, like, and and they could just be so if we if we put them in the asylum, they could be the ones that like are always absent-faced, absent-minded, just in the by the window or just sitting in a chair, you know, in the day room. Just yeah, sit just plain faced in a daydreaming. Maybe their daydreams are the movies.

SPEAKER_01 36:48

Yeah. That makes sense, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:51

I mean, that's kind of um also Buffy Vampire Slayer had one episode that was with um that. And did you know Giles? Giles died.

SPEAKER_00 37:00

I yeah. I said I just was about to say that. I said, Did you see that?

SPEAKER_02 37:04

Of course I did. Buffy is my favorite television show of all time. I said um I said, Giles. Um Brent sent it to me today. I said that made me very sad. Very sad. Um, but that so Buffy had an episode like that that she was in an insane asylum. Um, and she like they made it seem like she was just dreaming everything. Like the whole Buffy series. And it was an episode that they were like, hey, you can either come out of this and like come back home to your mom and dad, all that, or like go in your psychosis, basically, and like be Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So that definitely is a motif that they play a lot on, I feel like, in TV shows and horror and everything. Um from what I have I know about mania and been diagnosed with um, um, I think for that one, we're gonna be Annabelle. Because Annabelle chills. I feel like she chills until she's ready to turn up. And when she's ready to turn up, she turns the absolute fuck up.

SPEAKER_00 38:12

I feel like she's a silent maniac, yes.

SPEAKER_02 38:14

Like that's what I'm saying is when from you know from from exper from from experience, research, you know, all that fun stuff. Um, you know, we never really know when it's gonna happen.

SPEAKER_00 38:27

Correct.

SPEAKER_02 38:28

And we're just, you know, sitting pretty.

SPEAKER_00 38:30

Correct.

SPEAKER_02 38:30

We're just chilling. Correct. And then all of those about anything. That's what I'm saying is that all of a sudden a blank stare happens and she's there. Crashing happens for hours.

SPEAKER_00 38:43

Crashing.

SPEAKER_02 38:44

Um, so I feel like she can definitely she could. I can see that. Because the thing is, I feel like she's very sociable. Like she's talking to everyone in the day room, asking people not to put on country music for the fucking 30th time that day. She she's like very nice with the nurses. You know, and then I feel like she just sits in her chairs and goes, you know what? Right.

SPEAKER_00 39:08

She can just go. It's very much time.

SPEAKER_02 39:11

It's time.

SPEAKER_00 39:12

Very much.

SPEAKER_02 39:13

And you know, I feel like that's what she does.

SPEAKER_00 39:15

I think there's two. I think the two who would definitely get the lobotomies and just be just all the time just, you know, there, present, would be Michael and Jason.

SPEAKER_01 39:32

Correct.

SPEAKER_00 39:32

They would be the ones who always get the lobotomies to where they're just silent.

SPEAKER_02 39:37

I would say, well, they're both silent and they're both just like they would probably do that because number one, they're both like physically probably the most dangerous that could overturn the nose the nurses and do Code Armstrong and do all that shit. Yes. Um, so that's that defin. Thought I saw something on the porch. I got a little nervous. Um that could definitely be somebody. That that could they probably, I feel like, got put in seclusion as soon as they got there.

SPEAKER_00 40:11

That's what I'm saying. They probably got like put in a little room like right away.

SPEAKER_02 40:14

They probably got some tragedia to go to sleep. Right. And they said go to bed, please. They decide go to bed. I feel like that's the one that they have to like make they have somebody to make sure in the cafeteria that they're the ones that are on 24-hour watch. Mm-hmm. Just because they at any point, if they do decide to turn up, they can they can break out. Right. Michael has broken out because he's been especially in um I forgot which one, but I know he's in was he in for oh my gosh, is that Rob Zombies? I don't fucking remember.

SPEAKER_00 40:54

It could be. It sounds like a Rob Zombie thing.

SPEAKER_02 40:56

But one of them, um, he was already in an asylum. And you know what he did? He broke out. He said, I don't know who the fuck y'all think.

SPEAKER_00 41:04

Why yeah, you can't keep me here.

SPEAKER_02 41:06

Like, I'm Michael Myers. Do you think that the fuck? Like, I'm going to stay here? Right. You think that these random ass nurses are gonna be able to like keep me? Absolutely not. He said, Alright, it's time. I said, Oh, you were just waiting.

SPEAKER_00 41:22

Use their waiting for that.

SPEAKER_02 41:25

Michael said, I'm gonna leave when I want to leave, okay?

SPEAKER_00 41:27

I'll stay here and play your little game, but then he was playing the game.

SPEAKER_02 41:31

I'm leaving. And he said, It's time to go. I'm gonna go get Lori.

SPEAKER_00 41:35

Lori. Lori. Um, but yeah, those two would be definitely the lobotomy.

SPEAKER_02 41:42

They would try to sedue them as much as they could.

SPEAKER_00 41:44

Correct. For sure. The the one who would be the giggly, the giggly one who's always giggling and you know. Just the peanut. Yeah, talking to themselves all the time would be Freddie.

SPEAKER_02 41:56

Of course.

SPEAKER_00 41:57

He's Freddie would be that one.

SPEAKER_02 41:59

Because Freddie would just be trying to do asshole jokes with the nurses at the nurses' station.

SPEAKER_00 42:03

Uh-huh. And just talking to himself. And he would be the one who said weird, like my.

SPEAKER_02 42:10

Oh, he would try to like he would the thing is, I think that he would make like all of our group therapy sessions. Which, if you've never done a group therapy session, do it. It's so nice. Um, I feel so nice. I feel like he would be the fun one in all the sessions. And like when we go down for breakfast and lunch and stuff, he would just like just be joking the entire time.

SPEAKER_00 42:34

But he would be the like the one who's in the haunted houses who's always just like laughing. Yeah, the one who's just there laughing and hollering.

SPEAKER_02 42:44

I feel like at 5 a.m. though, I would be like, Freddie, shut the fuck up.

SPEAKER_00 42:47

Right, Freddie, shut up.

SPEAKER_02 42:48

Like, why are you why I feel like he's the first one up all the time.

SPEAKER_00 42:53

Or he don't sleep.

SPEAKER_02 42:54

But exactly. He the sleeping is not good.

SPEAKER_00 42:58

Right.

SPEAKER_02 42:58

And I feel like he would be in the day room just waiting for all of us to get up.

SPEAKER_00 43:02

And just rocking. Just I'm gonna go.

SPEAKER_02 43:04

And then as soon as we are up, he would just start. Just start.

SPEAKER_00 43:08

Or he'll just be just hollering all the time anyway. I'd be like, Freddie, I just got up. But he he would definitely be there. No, I fully agree. And then Hannibal Lecter Darian, because he's crazy anyway.

SPEAKER_02 43:22

Hannibal would be in the seclusion room 24-7.

SPEAKER_00 43:25

24-7. Don't watch.

SPEAKER_02 43:26

Because he he would just walk very slowly around the unit. He would have to be on restrictive unit, which they do do. Um, you're not allowed to leave the unit. Uh so he would be on that because I feel like he would He'd be the creepy one, that creep one. Because you can't touch each other in the units. The nurses will yell at you. And he would I feel like what would happen is he would try to like hug a new girl and then try to bite her solder.

SPEAKER_00 43:53

Mm-hmm. And the nurses would be like he would be the biter.

SPEAKER_02 43:57

He would be the one trying to bite everything. Everybody or you know he would probably try to eat the markers.

SPEAKER_00 44:03

Correct. Yes, he would be that type.

SPEAKER_02 44:05

He would try to eat the batteries, which is why we couldn't have the fucking remote. Who I've got to do.

SPEAKER_00 44:09

He would try to eat everything.

SPEAKER_02 44:10

He would try, he would be the one that we have so many restrictions because his ass was doing to everything. Right. It would be him and Freddie. Together. That's what I'm saying. It would be him and Freddie, and we would have so many random little chaos. Like, oh, you can't have a blue marker. For what? For what? Oh, well, Freddie and Hannah, they decided to write on the walls or some shit. I feel like them two would just cause chaos.

SPEAKER_00 44:35

Chaos.

SPEAKER_02 44:36

On the unit. And then Annabelle would just get so upset one day, she'd be like, okay.

SPEAKER_00 44:40

Right. And Chucky would get mad.

SPEAKER_02 44:42

Chucky would just be mad all the time. All the time. I feel like they could just write- Why am I in here? Get me the fuck out! Right now! These people are crazy! I was like, Chucky. But Chucky, you're crazy too. That's why you're in here. Listen, and you know, we're all, we all go a little mad sometimes, as Billy said. Right. And Billy. I would do things to Billy.

SPEAKER_00 45:06

I would you know, Billy was fucking crazy like that.

SPEAKER_02 45:10

Billy and Matthew Lerner are on every convention in the United States of America. I don't know if Matthew's on the other. They are literally on in every convention. They were at ScareFest two years ago. And you guys know I don't like vanilla, but dear God, Billy in person? And then Matthew I just got a lot of cake. This is such a good flavor, though. We are drinking the Alani pink slush.

SPEAKER_00 46:23

It is great flavor.

SPEAKER_02 46:24

It is such a great fucking flavor.

SPEAKER_00 46:26

It's electable.

SPEAKER_02 46:28

Oh shit. Oh. But so yeah, that's um, I will also put some mental health resources in the YouTube link if you like them. Um because yes, the world is hard and we want you here.

SPEAKER_00 46:44

We want you here. We do. And if you ever need the the talk or let it out, you know, reach us. We have email. We do, we have Facebook. Just message us on one of those platforms or somewhere. And we will definitely talk to you. We'll be the friend that you need. You're not in this alone. Nope. So definitely like reach out.

SPEAKER_02 47:07

Trust me, we understand. We want you here.

SPEAKER_04 47:10

We want you here.

SPEAKER_00 47:15

You know who would be the nurses, though. Every single one. Pam's final girl.

SPEAKER_02 47:19

Or Pam. Oh my gosh. Who's Pam? Jason's mom. I feel like Jason's mom would be a nurse. No, I feel like. Yeah, she would. She would be the evil nurse. Yeah, you're right. Nancy would be a nurse.

SPEAKER_00 47:30

Nancy, all the final girls would be nurses.

SPEAKER_02 47:32

Sydney would be the head nurse. Sydney would be the dish. So they have. Just because I know, you know what? They have a discharge nurse. So when you're about to leave, they handle your safety plan and all that shit. Um, I feel like Sydney would definitely have to be that nurse.

SPEAKER_00 47:48

Sydney would be that nurse because she'd like, let's talk through it.

SPEAKER_02 47:50

Correct. She would be like, so what are you gonna do to stay alive?

SPEAKER_00 47:53

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 47:54

Like, because that's what they do. They're like, okay, what is your safety plan if something happens? What is your coping skills? All that stuff. Um, I feel like Sydney would definitely do that.

SPEAKER_00 48:02

Um I think Nancy would be the one who's always getting hurt. Nancy the one that the the patients are always attacking.

SPEAKER_01 48:16

No, it's true. Poor Nancy. It's true.

SPEAKER_02 48:20

That's true.

SPEAKER_00 48:21

I can be the one always get attacked. I thought I'd man. But she would, she would. I do agree with that. I really fucking do. Poor Nancy.

SPEAKER_04 48:37

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_00 48:38

You know who'll be another patient? Freaking um art.

SPEAKER_01 48:43

Bitch. Art.

SPEAKER_00 48:46

Art would art would just be in there. Just to be in there.

SPEAKER_02 48:49

Art would be like the one that literally keeps coming back.

SPEAKER_00 48:52

He would. He would be the one that keeps coming back. He'll get out, but then he'll come right back.

SPEAKER_02 48:56

He would. He would. Um, so we Nancy would be on day shift for sure.

SPEAKER_00 49:01

Nancy would be on day shift.

SPEAKER_02 49:02

Um, Sydney is the discharge nurse. Who's the nurse, the med nurse?

SPEAKER_00 49:07

He gives out the meds?

SPEAKER_02 49:08

Yes, because they have one nurse that specifically gives out meds because we, you know, we can't take a lot of meds.

SPEAKER_00 49:13

Um feel it has to be somebody really reliable. Who's reliable?

SPEAKER_02 49:25

That's what I'm trying to think.

SPEAKER_00 49:29

Andy.

SPEAKER_02 49:32

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 49:33

From Chucky.

SPEAKER_02 49:34

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 49:34

Isn't that a boy? No, Andy will be the night nurse.

SPEAKER_02 49:37

Isn't that a boy?

SPEAKER_00 49:38

Yeah. He's a final boy.

SPEAKER_02 49:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 49:42

Technically.

SPEAKER_02 49:44

Let me okay, I'm gonna look at some. Oh no. You know, a Tate from Tate's not a final girl, but Tate, um, Sydney's friend, that Tate would definitely be a night nurse that does not give a fuck about what's going on in the universe.

SPEAKER_00 50:00

At all. But she's she died, didn't she? She did. This is, you know. I mean, if she wasn't dead, she would definitely be a night nurse. She would. With Andy. Correct.

SPEAKER_02 50:12

That's fine. You can do like final boys, final girls, all of that. So I think, yeah. Some of the one. Oh. People are crazy. But we should do that. What that's what we're gonna do on the Instagram. We're gonna do like uh, we're gonna have our own insane asylum.

SPEAKER_00 50:31

I can do um, I can do um graphic work together.

SPEAKER_02 50:35

Do that because we were gonna do our nurses and stuff. So um let us let us know when you see that what you think.

SPEAKER_00 50:42

So I'll work on that too.

SPEAKER_02 50:43

That's fine. So I think that we are crazied out, insane doubt.

SPEAKER_00 50:47

I'm very insane out. But yes, let us let us know what terrifies you the most about asylums or anything like that. Or if you if you've been to an asylum for like a ghost hunt or like yeah, like a tour. Cause we definitely would be curious, because I'm curious.

SPEAKER_02 51:11

I'm very curious.

SPEAKER_00 51:12

What happens at night?

SPEAKER_02 51:14

Correct. But um, as always, everything will be in the link on the YouTube video, everything's on our link tree, everything's correct.

SPEAKER_00 51:22

Everything's there, everything's there. Um, follow or not follow, okay. Uh don't forget that our live show is also coming up in about two months.
