Transcript

SPEAKER_02 0:00

Hello and welcome to the Scooby Zone, the podcast where Scooby-Doo is a dog and we love him very much as we watch a bit of Scooby-Doo Media. I'm Rob. And I'm Katie. And today we'll be watching What the Heck's Going On, Episode 6 of Scooby-Doo Where Are You.

SPEAKER_01 0:21

Wow. We're getting up there, guys. We're getting there.

SPEAKER_02 0:24

Yeah. We are, you know, just about a quarter of the way through. Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? Yeah. And this is an episode where it's I know the general premise of what's going on.

SPEAKER_00 0:41

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 0:42

But there's just huge chunks of it. It's like, yeah, I don't remember what goes on between here and here.

SPEAKER_01 0:49

Right, yeah. Definitely.

SPEAKER_02 0:52

I do believe though, a lot of images from this episode are used in the opening and ending title sequences.

SPEAKER_00 1:03

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 1:04

Um. Then I think this is the one where we get the image of Shaggy on roller skates.

SPEAKER_01 1:09

Yeah, I believe you're right on that one.

SPEAKER_02 1:11

Um, and the moving bookcase as they walk by. Yep, that too. Um but yeah, other than that, a lot of this episode is you know, just drawing a blank in my mind. So it'll be interesting to see if this is going to be like the last couple of episodes where watching them felt like it just was no time at all, or if this will be one that'll end up dragging dragging out. Yeah, it's gonna be an interesting one. Yeah. Um so uh you guys can if you have any questions, comments, anything for us, you can always send us an email. Our email is ScoobyZonepodcast at gmail.com.

SPEAKER_00 2:02

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 2:04

And we now have made social media pages.

SPEAKER_01 2:08

We have, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:09

Granted, by the time you're hearing those previous episodes, they already have been made. Yep. But uh, you can go ahead and find us on Facebook at the Scooby Zone. We are on Instagram under the Scooby Zone Podcast. All one word.

unknown 2:28

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 2:28

And we are on X at the Scooby Zone. Um you'll find us, you'll see our picture image there.

SPEAKER_00 2:38

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 2:39

Um, you know, like give us a like, um, you know, a follow.

SPEAKER_01 2:45

Follow something like that.

SPEAKER_02 2:48

Yeah, you know, engage with us. Um I think, you know, we'll try to come up with some fun fan poll type things to keep you guys engaged. Um, any feedback you guys want to give us is always appreciated.

SPEAKER_00 3:07

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 3:09

Um in fact, you know, first bit of feedback you guys could give us is if you guys want us to cover every episode of Scooby-Doo's All-Star Laugh Olympics. Yep. Or if you would rather us do one generalized overview episode of that as a series. Um reason we are putting it into your hands is because even though it does have Scooby-Doo in its name, it's not much of a Scooby series as a Hannah Barbera love letter crossover type series. Um and you know, let you guys give your voices and opinions to the matter. Um so with that, do you have anything else?

SPEAKER_01 4:08

I don't think so. I think you pretty much covered all of it.

SPEAKER_02 4:11

Okay, um yeah, um, because of recording when we do any Scooby-Doo news um may not be current and might not be. Um so I think we'll go ahead, we'll get started with watching the episode. You guys too. All episodes of Scooby-Doo Where Are You are available on DVD and Blu-ray.

SPEAKER_01 4:38

And VHS if you have if you're doing it, how we're doing it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:43

Um yeah, if you still have a VHS player and some VHS tapes. I'm pretty sure all of Scooby-Doo Where Are You was released in on Cartoon Network VHS tapes that each had. Yep. Like two episodes of Scooby-Doo Where Are You. Um so that this one should have been on one of those Cartoon Network releases. Um but for sure, DVD Blu-ray, probably the easiest way nowadays. Um as of recording, Scooby-Doo Where Are You is available on Tubi.

SPEAKER_01 5:22

Yep. Um definitely is available on there.

SPEAKER_02 5:24

Um sometime throughout this month of re the month of which we are recording. Um, I believe a lot more Scooby series should be coming to Tubi.

SPEAKER_01 5:35

It should be coming soon, but not till later on, I've been told.

SPEAKER_02 5:39

Yeah, um, so but hopefully they'll be on there by the time we get to them.

SPEAKER_01 5:44

Hopefully they will be, because that will be very better for us and easier for us.

SPEAKER_02 5:49

Right. So we're gonna go split up, look for some clues, and we'll be right back.

unknown 6:05

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 6:05

And we're back. That was what the heck's going on. And I gotta say, what the heck was going on?

SPEAKER_01 6:13

I have no idea what the heck was going on.

SPEAKER_02 6:15

This episode is a trip.

SPEAKER_01 6:17

It definitely was a trip, that's for sure.

SPEAKER_02 6:20

I think, like, I know there are theories around the internet of Shag and Scoob you know being stoners.

SPEAKER_01 6:28

But this might be overdoing it.

SPEAKER_02 6:30

I think the people, right, who wrote this episode were the ones.

SPEAKER_01 6:33

They might have been the ones on something.

SPEAKER_02 6:37

Okay. So let's go ahead. Let's take this now all from the top. Yep. Alrighty. We open up with some ghostly moaning. And we then see, you know, a person walking like a living zombie guy. Living zombie. There. Just there. You know. We then cut to Mystery Inc. in the mystery machine. They're, you know, they are going off to visit their friend Sharon, who invited them to her estate for the weekend. Yep. In which then they see the old guy who's walking going into the old mansion.

SPEAKER_00 7:15

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 7:16

Um, we then cut to outside of the Weatherby estate, and which the part of the mystery machine is like highlighted orange.

SPEAKER_01 7:26

It is. Where the mystery machine is, it's highlighted orange. So how it's yes. It's really weird. It and it's on the Blu-ray edited edition. Why would that be there when it's supposed to be edited, you know, cleaned up and you know, cleaned up decently, you know. Why was that still left there? Are they waiting to see if fans will notice that or what are they doing?

SPEAKER_02 7:49

It's the old school Hanna Barbera animation. Um, you know, while they're there, um, you know, they are talking about, you know, what's going on, and they are told that Sharon's Uncle Stuart is missing. And they figure, hey, wonder if that was the guy they saw going into that old mansion, which we find out is called the Kingston Mansion. You know, going over to investigate, they find an older man hiding in the shadows.

SPEAKER_00 8:32

Hiding in the shadows.

SPEAKER_02 8:34

In which we find out that Uncle Stuart has been aged by the ghost of Elias Kingston, who demands the weather be fortune before he turns everybody into extremely old dead people. That might be paraphrasing it.

SPEAKER_01 8:57

He made him into an old man.

SPEAKER_02 9:01

Sharon's father decides to go ahead and call the sheriff to find out that the phone is dead.

SPEAKER_01 9:08

When is the phone never not dead in a Scooby-Doo?

SPEAKER_02 9:11

Why is the phone so dramatic?

unknown 9:13

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 9:14

You know, most things stop working. Why does the phone have to die?

SPEAKER_01 9:19

The phone just needs to die. It's like batteries. Maybe it's unplugged. Maybe someone forgot to plug it in.

SPEAKER_02 9:27

I guess.

SPEAKER_01 9:28

Maybe the old man did it.

SPEAKER_02 9:32

Um, so they suggest, you know, well, why doesn't Mr. Rutherby then just go off to go get the sheriff himself?

SPEAKER_00 9:39

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 9:40

And they will take turns keeping watch to make sure that Uncle Stewart doesn't leave again. And so they start by having the, you know, having the watchdog do it. Watch dog, yep. Good old Scooby. With his dog hearing, nothing will get past him.

SPEAKER_01 9:58

Nope, nothing. Oh, baby.

SPEAKER_02 10:01

Well, Scooby already seeing where this is going, pretends that he needs a hearing aid. Which does not work. It doesn't work. They don't even give him a Scooby snack. No, they don't.

SPEAKER_01 10:12

You don't bribe him at all.

SPEAKER_02 10:13

They just So it's no surprise when you know Scooby ends up just falling asleep on the job. Which then leads to Uncle Stuart getting up, walking away in a trance again.

SPEAKER_01 10:27

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 10:28

You know, Scooby wakes up to find Uncle Stuart gone. Bugle calls everybody else awake. Yep. In which we've also find out that Sharon is now missing. They head off to the Kingston Mansion, and Shaggy, being the genius he is, has put roller skates on his feet. Yep. So that way when they run into a ghost, it can't catch him.

SPEAKER_01 10:54

They'll never catch me.

SPEAKER_02 10:56

As they are going past, uh bookcase moves away, in which we see the ghost of Elias Kinston and a tied up Sharon. So we have confirmation the ghost kidnapped Sharon.

SPEAKER_01 11:10

But he kidnapped her off-screen. How does that even work? He's doing a lot of stuff off-screen. I don't know. Yeah. I'm not not making any sense.

SPEAKER_02 11:17

So that's why he's so effective. Uh Shaggy bends down thinking that ghosts can hide in little pots, which explains why he tried to convince the black knight ghost he was hiding in a pot. That might make sense. In which the ghost using one of those old-fashioned bellows, not to stoke a fireplace, uses it to push Shaggy, who then ends up stumbling on his roller skates into a bathtub shower.

SPEAKER_01 11:50

Yep, that's good reason to be wearing that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:55

Uh Scooby finds a kitchen and opens a refrigerator to find one lonely bone. And a cobweb. Makes you wonder how long that's been sitting there. When Scooby, being the hungry dog he is, going to eat it. Yep. When a guard dog is behind him, mad at Scooby for stealing his bone. Yep. So we now have Scooby against a dark guard dog. A guard dog. In which, you know, some slapstick running away and everything where, you know, he ends up putting a tub over the guard dog's head so where it can't see, in which it then barrels into Shaggy, who had just gotten out of the bath. Only to land in the bath. And if there's one thing Shaggy hates, it's taking a bath in a haunted house. If you ever find yourself in a haunted house, don't take a bath. Don't take a bath with your clothes on.

SPEAKER_01 12:59

Put your clothes on.

SPEAKER_02 13:02

Just I mean you shouldn't be taking a bath in a haunted house in general. But yeah, probably also not with your clothes on. You don't have anything to change into. You're sucking.

SPEAKER_01 13:13

Right. How soggy can a guy get?

SPEAKER_02 13:16

Yep. You know. You know, they continue looking around, in which they eventually find a skeleton wearing the outfit that Uncle Stuart was in. The Ghost of Alliance Kingston tells them, you know, he warned them. And now he's demanding that they bring him the weather be fortune before worse comes to pass.

SPEAKER_00 13:44

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 13:46

They end up disregarding the warning, go back outside, and they see the ghost going into the old mausoleum. So they go over to it, and Fred has Shaggy expertly dust for fingerprints.

SPEAKER_01 14:05

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 14:06

Doing so expertly, people. Doing so by taking the brush from Velda's fingerprinting kit and dusting her hand.

SPEAKER_01 14:15

Look at all them fingerprints.

SPEAKER_02 14:17

Yeah, hey, that's the one way to find them. Yeah, but they then correct him.

SPEAKER_01 14:24

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 14:25

And he dusts the doorknob, and lo and behold, there are fingerprints that a ghost would not leave.

SPEAKER_01 14:32

No, a ghost would not leave by.

SPEAKER_02 14:34

Ghost would just walk through it.

SPEAKER_01 14:35

Yeah, we just walk through it.

SPEAKER_02 14:37

They go and, you know, they decide to send Scooby in to look around. Yep. Scooby doesn't want to. Nope. So Fred decides, like, hey, you do it. We'll give you four Scooby Snacks.

SPEAKER_00 14:50

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 14:52

And Scooby agrees to it. But before he gets it, Shaggy has now taken the Scooby Snacks.

SPEAKER_00 15:01

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 15:03

You know, this is only the second episode where Shaggy has started to eat the Scooby Snacks.

SPEAKER_00 15:08

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 15:09

And we'll know more when we go back to the snack intake at the end of this. Right. But he's either now eaten, I think he may have eaten on par with Scooby in terms of snacks.

SPEAKER_01 15:24

He might have, yeah, because he just randomly took four.

SPEAKER_02 15:26

Yeah. You know, instead of We will get to that, I guess.

SPEAKER_01 15:30

Right.

SPEAKER_02 15:33

So Shaggy goes in and looks around and, you know, signals the all clear for everyone else to go in.

SPEAKER_00 15:40

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 15:41

You know, they're looking around when they get locked in by the ghost.

SPEAKER_00 15:45

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 15:46

How the ghosts got out, we don't know.

SPEAKER_01 15:48

We don't know.

SPEAKER_02 15:48

Probably just walk to the wall. That's what ghosts do.

SPEAKER_01 15:51

That's what ghosts do. It doesn't need to make sense.

SPEAKER_02 15:53

So as they're looking for a way out, Scooby bumps into a revolving wall.

SPEAKER_01 16:00

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 16:01

That after some hijinks of them just spinning until they all end up on the same side. That's how it's gonna work, I guess. They find out that it is a shortcut to the Weatherby estate.

SPEAKER_00 16:17

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 16:19

Going off a clue that they found in the mausoleum of a book about reading a crystal ball, they go and visit a Swami in town.

SPEAKER_00 16:30

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 16:31

And which on the drive there, uh the image we get, Shaggy is holding a map. For no reason.

SPEAKER_01 16:39

For no reason.

SPEAKER_02 16:40

You know, when we get to a different shot of the inside of the van, Shaggy has no map. There's no mention of him reading a map.

SPEAKER_01 16:48

So uh what's the point of him holding up a map?

SPEAKER_02 16:51

You know, they go into where the the Swami's building, they decide to look in a Daphne decides to look in a storage closet where a bunch of stuff just falls on top of Shaggy and Scooby. Yep. Right as when a customer decides to walk in, they all go hide, and Scooby decides to sit in the swami chair wearing the swami headdress and robe thing. And I swear this woman must be kind of blind even with her glasses to not notice the dog. But Fred has Shaggy use his expert ventriloquism to throw his voice to be Scooby's voice. Well, in which, you know, they are now just messing with this lady. You know, asks what they see in the crystal ball. My reflection.

SPEAKER_01 17:50

My reflection. Well, if it's not wrong.

SPEAKER_02 17:53

I see you dancing with a tall stranger. You're dancing cheek to cheek.

SPEAKER_01 17:58

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 17:59

And he whispers something in your ear.

SPEAKER_01 18:01

What is he saying?

SPEAKER_02 18:02

Get off my foot.

SPEAKER_01 18:04

How dare you?

SPEAKER_02 18:06

She then asks for her palm red, and if you guessed that they paint her palm literally the color red.

SPEAKER_01 18:15

Then you guessed right.

SPEAKER_02 18:16

You don't win anything except for the fact that, yeah, you can successfully predict how ridiculous this gets.

SPEAKER_01 18:24

It gets pretty ridiculous.

SPEAKER_02 18:26

She storms off in a huff, not even paying them for their brilliant work.

SPEAKER_01 18:30

Right.

SPEAKER_02 18:31

In which the table decides to just start floating with the ghost appearing in the crystal ball.

SPEAKER_01 18:37

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 18:38

The table chases them until Scooby somehow manages to get on top of the table, get it covered with a curtain so it can't see where it's going, crashes into a thing where we find a motor fan under the table to make it lift. After the ensuing chaos, they find packed suitcases, a makeup kit, and a TV camera that is projecting an image onto the crystal ball. Using all of their gained knowledge, they decide to spring a trap.

SPEAKER_01 19:20

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 19:21

We cut back to the Kingston mansion. Shaggy and Scooby are carrying a treasure chest, effectively being the bait for this trap.

SPEAKER_01 19:30

When are they not the same?

SPEAKER_02 19:31

They're always the bait.

SPEAKER_01 19:33

They're always the thing.

SPEAKER_02 19:35

I would almost argue this is the first time they are explicitly the bait. Yep. Because I wouldn't call them being the train thing as bait for the minor 49er.

SPEAKER_01 19:48

No, that's true.

SPEAKER_02 19:49

Um, and it was only Scooby as bait in Hassel in the Castle.

SPEAKER_01 19:54

Right.

SPEAKER_02 19:55

So yeah, this might be they start of them being the expert bait that they are.

SPEAKER_01 20:01

Right. They're experts in that.

SPEAKER_02 20:03

Yep. Well, it turns out that inside of the chest, instead of a fortune, it's pretty much a jack-in-the-box clown that'll squirt water in the ghost's face. Whoops. Ghost then chases them. They hide behind a curtained closet where Shaggy puts his shoes, like just sticking out, so the ghost figures are there and very close by. They trick the ghost into punching an anvil.

SPEAKER_01 20:35

Ouch. That's gonna work.

SPEAKER_02 20:37

Which then proceeds to phase two of the trap.

SPEAKER_01 20:40

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 20:41

Fred, using the with the special camera, projects an image of Shaggy running, which goes past the ghost, and as the ghost is running, we then see multiple ghosts.

SPEAKER_01 20:54

What? How can it be multiple ghosts?

SPEAKER_02 20:56

Yep. He turns he then turns around and sees a giant Scooby. He then proceeds to run into the now empty secret room because they somehow managed to find Sharon behind the bookcase and get her out without the ghost knowing.

SPEAKER_01 21:13

And do it off camera. So we don't know what happened either.

SPEAKER_02 21:17

In which, inside of the secret room is the skeleton ghost. Well, just a skeleton.

SPEAKER_01 21:24

Well, yep, just a skeleton.

SPEAKER_02 21:25

You know, the spooky skeleton. Yeah. Ghost runs out of the secret room and they drop a net on him.

SPEAKER_01 21:32

No.

SPEAKER_02 21:33

You know? They remove the makeup to find Uncle Stuart is not old.

SPEAKER_01 21:38

He's not old. And he's the ghost. He's the ghost. Man, that's a double whammy on that one.

SPEAKER_02 21:44

Yeah. That he basically used the makeup to disguise himself as an old man to make it look like the ghost was aging him.

SPEAKER_00 21:55

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 21:55

Because his plan was to trick the family into. To giving him the fortune, where he was using his alias as the swami to make a pretty much almost a clean getaway once he had the fortune. You know, they decided to reward them with some food. Shaggy gets to the table to find out that Scooby-Doo has eaten all of the food. We get the classic Scooby-Dooby-Doo and cut to the credits.

SPEAKER_00 22:29

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 22:32

It's a trip, you guys. It really is. So going to the fun things.

SPEAKER_00 22:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:42

First, we will start with the debut of a new list. The Mystery Ink Friends and Family Link.

SPEAKER_01 22:52

Yay.

SPEAKER_02 22:54

With this, we will try our best to document all the relatives of Mystery Inc. and their various friends that they have. Yep. So first on the list under the friends column, we have Sharon Weatherby.

SPEAKER_00 23:11

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 23:13

I'm gonna be surprised if we ever see her again.

SPEAKER_01 23:16

Yeah, I'm gonna be surprised too.

SPEAKER_02 23:18

But if we do see her again, hey, we've got her on this list.

SPEAKER_01 23:23

We've already got her on the list, but it's cool to have people come back.

SPEAKER_02 23:26

And maybe, you know, we'll see her design. You know, her the at least her character design in uh future episodes. Right. Not necessarily, you know, as named.

SPEAKER_01 23:38

Right, you know.

SPEAKER_02 23:41

Um so going from there, let's go to our Scooby Snack intake. Oh boy, here we go. So today we had four snacks eaten.

SPEAKER_01 23:54

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 23:55

That has brought us to a total of sixteen. Total of fourteen Scooby snacks.

SPEAKER_01 24:07

Wow.

SPEAKER_02 24:08

Overall.

SPEAKER_01 24:09

Overall, okay.

SPEAKER_02 24:10

Um, within six episodes, so that is still roughly little more than two.

SPEAKER_01 24:18

Right, little yeah, now it's bumping up to two because Scooby's briving for more.

SPEAKER_02 24:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:25

It's more getting more demand.

SPEAKER_02 24:27

And out of those fourteen, Shaggy has eaten five of them.

SPEAKER_01 24:30

Five of them.

SPEAKER_02 24:31

So Scooby still has eaten more.

SPEAKER_01 24:33

He's still, yeah, I guess that's true. He still has, but Shaggy's catching up. Yeah. He had to eat the four to catch up. Right? He's gonna catch up somehow. Go big or go home.

SPEAKER_02 24:43

Yeah. You know, so yeah, we're getting close, you guys.

SPEAKER_01 24:46

We are getting close.

SPEAKER_02 24:48

Um because yeah, we're only six episodes in and we're at 14.

SPEAKER_01 24:51

Right.

SPEAKER_02 24:52

Um, so boy. Okay, from there, what do you want to go to next? Monsters, traps. Our personal feelings on the episode itself. Well, I mean, those I mean we um boy, what it what's gonna be easier for us? I you know, I think we'll go to the monster.

SPEAKER_01 25:18

Okay, alright.

SPEAKER_02 25:18

Well, let's go to the manifest of monsters. Alright. So currently at on the list, at the bottom, worst ghost of this show so far, is the Vasquez Castle ghost.

SPEAKER_01 25:32

Yep. Yeah, that makes sense.

SPEAKER_02 25:34

Then we have the Black Knight, the Minor 49er, the Indian Witch Doctor, and then sitting at the top, we have Captain Cutler. Captain Cutler.

SPEAKER_00 25:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 25:44

So where do you think the ghost of Elias Kinston ranks?

SPEAKER_01 25:48

Hmm. I mean, he is more or less getting up there because well he does a lot of stuff off screen, so he's pretty sneaky.

SPEAKER_02 25:55

He's actually very you know, he kidnapped a person. Off screen. He grabbed onto Shaggy's shoulder twice.

SPEAKER_01 26:04

Off screen. So I mean, yeah, I mean, he's he's he's gotten up there. I mean Yeah, um I mean I'd say he's definitely gone past Ghost in the Black Knight.

SPEAKER_02 26:16

I mean, I don't know what your skills are things, you know again his cot like we mentioned last time. The costume his costume is, you know, actually elaborate. His game was actually really well thought out. It was you know, yeah, using the makeup to make himself appear older and right throw throw everyone off.

SPEAKER_01 26:36

I mean, he's even wearing a different outfit than the minor for the minor 49er, actually.

SPEAKER_02 26:43

So, yeah. Um I mean Yeah, where would you put him?

SPEAKER_01 26:50

I mean, I because his like with all the stuff off screen he's been doing, he's been pretty good.

SPEAKER_02 26:57

Like, I'd almost put him above Captain Cutler with how effective he's been.

SPEAKER_01 27:00

Like Alright, let's put him above Captain Cutler. All right. Um I mean it makes sense. He's doing all the stuff he's doing off screen. You know, never have one. I don't know if I really know very many that do it that good off screen, you know.

SPEAKER_02 27:15

Yeah, he was a very effective one day. And it's weird because I know this is so from what I know, from what little I've seen of Be Cool Scooby-Doo, it's not a complete reboot of Scooby-Doo. Um, but there's very much a lot of it that does feel like it is a reboot of Scooby-Doo. The first ghost in Be Cool Scooby-Doo is Elias Kingston.

SPEAKER_01 27:47

You're kidding.

SPEAKER_02 27:48

It is completely not the same episode. Like, this is more of a trip than that episode was. Um, which if you if anyone here has seen that episode of Be Cool Scooby-Doo, like, you know that there's stuff in that episode that is a trip.

SPEAKER_01 28:04

Alright.

SPEAKER_02 28:06

Um but yeah, the fact that he one, he shows up in another series as a ghost for that one.

SPEAKER_01 28:16

Right.

SPEAKER_02 28:18

And I think the costume of Elias Kingston is shown in the Coolzonian in Scooby-Doo 2. Okay. I don't think it's it's not one of the ones that gets stolen and turned into an actual monster. But I do believe it is one of the monster costumes on display.

SPEAKER_01 28:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 28:40

Um so from there, we'll go to our trap list.

SPEAKER_01 28:46

Oh, I hope traps. Alright.

SPEAKER_02 28:48

Our current traps are at the best trap so far has been the better mouse trap from Hassel in the Castle.

SPEAKER_00 28:57

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 28:58

Um then we have the fake train from Minor 49er.

SPEAKER_00 29:02

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 29:03

Just a pack of dogs running from decoy for a dognapper, which is not really much of a trap. No, but it's something effective.

SPEAKER_01 29:15

Got the job done.

SPEAKER_02 29:16

And then at the bottom so far is the instant sud ramp from suds. Yeah. Yo. A clue for Scooby-Doo. So this one, I think we will call in shorthand special effects. I think that's because it relies so much on just all that special effects.

SPEAKER_01 29:34

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 29:35

And okay. I definitely for sure 100% better than instant suds.

SPEAKER_01 29:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 29:43

In fact, like. I mean, I love the better mousetrap because of how ridiculous it is. Right. But this is the first trap that goes off without a hitch.

SPEAKER_01 29:56

Without Scooby getting trapped in it, it's no complex, nothing goes wrong.

SPEAKER_02 30:00

It's like it just works so perfectly.

SPEAKER_01 30:04

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 30:05

And it is so ridiculous.

SPEAKER_01 30:06

Yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_02 30:08

Like, I'm will like I would personally put it like just under the better mousetrap, because it's not the rude Goldbergian disaster that that thing is.

SPEAKER_01 30:19

Right.

SPEAKER_02 30:20

But this thing is just as convoluted and great.

SPEAKER_01 30:23

Right. No, I I definitely agree it should go above a fake train. I think yeah, I think it definitely that does make sense to put it above a fake train.

SPEAKER_02 30:34

Yeah, so it's funny. You know, we we went into this episode with kind of low expectations.

SPEAKER_01 30:42

We did have low expectations, didn't we?

SPEAKER_02 30:45

The ghost has already topped the monster ending. Trap is like the second best trap of the show so far. So now that just leaves us like the table of spooks. The table of snacks.

SPEAKER_01 30:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:59

You know, how many Scooby snacks does this episode bring to the table for us?

SPEAKER_01 31:04

Oh man, that's a better than we thought it was gonna be.

SPEAKER_02 31:09

I I say I say four.

SPEAKER_01 31:12

You say four.

SPEAKER_02 31:13

I don't think I do not think that this is a perfect episode.

SPEAKER_01 31:16

No, I don't.

SPEAKER_02 31:16

It's a little crappy, but there is a lot of just down time. It feels.

SPEAKER_01 31:23

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 31:24

Um, like a lot of that stuff with the Swami place just kind of feels like it goes on for a while.

SPEAKER_01 31:30

Right.

SPEAKER_02 31:31

Um, you know, a lot of just the wandering around the Kingston Manor initially.

SPEAKER_01 31:37

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 31:39

But like it's a fun ride.

SPEAKER_01 31:41

It is a fun, interesting, but fun ride. Yeah, I agree.

SPEAKER_02 31:45

So yeah, I think a nice solid four. Because you know, it's yeah, this isn't as terrible as, you know, Hassel in the Castle feels.

SPEAKER_01 31:51

Oh, definitely not as horrible as Hassel in the Castle.

SPEAKER_02 31:55

You know. So how this one didn't end up on greatest mysteries is a mystery to me.

SPEAKER_01 31:59

Yeah, it is.

SPEAKER_02 32:00

I would have put this one on there besides Hassel in the Castle.

SPEAKER_01 32:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 32:05

Although Hassel in the Castle does have the greatest trap ever.

SPEAKER_01 32:08

That is true. Maybe that's why I got bumped up to the best trap ever.

SPEAKER_02 32:13

But, anyways, you guys, I think that just about wraps things up for our episode. I think so too. So, we will be back next time with never ape an ape man. Oh, don't do that.

SPEAKER_01 32:28

Unless with an ape man.

SPEAKER_02 32:30

So, yes. Just remember, you guys don't shower in haunted houses.

SPEAKER_01 32:37

Don't shower in haunted houses, alright, guys. Just don't do it.

SPEAKER_02 32:41

You know, you don't know where that water's been. You don't know what ghost is watching you. You know. Probably shouldn't also strap roller skates to your feet when you're going through haunted houses.

SPEAKER_01 32:59

Probably shouldn't either.

SPEAKER_02 33:00

Because who knows what kind of breeze will just blow you over.

SPEAKER_01 33:03

Yeah, who knows?

SPEAKER_02 33:05

But, anyways, yeah, he's uh just remember they would have gotten away with it too.

SPEAKER_01 33:11

If it weren't for those meddling kids.
