Transcript

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Hello, and welcome to the Scooby Zone, the podcast where Scooby Snacks won't work on me this time, as we watch a bit of Scooby-Doo media. I'm Rob. And I'm Katie. And today we'll be watching Foul Play in Funland, episode eight of Scooby-Doo. Where are you?

SPEAKER_01 0:19

Wow, we're on episode eight already.

SPEAKER_00 0:21

Can you believe that? Are you ready for a fun time in Funland?

SPEAKER_01 0:24

I guess we'll have a fun time in Funland. All right, I'm ready for this.

SPEAKER_00 0:28

Yeah. You guys are you can always email us at ScoobyZonepodcast at gmail.com with any comments, questions, whatever you want to talk to us about. Please do so. We want to hear from you. You can also find us at the Scooby Zone on Facebook, The Scooby Zone Podcast on Instagram, and at the Scooby Zone on X, formerly known as Twitter. So do you have anything for the start of this episode? I don't think so. Foul play in Funland. Like this is a I swear, this has got to be a fan favorite of a lot of people.

SPEAKER_01 1:06

I think so too. It's a pretty good episode. I don't see why it would be.

SPEAKER_00 1:10

Yeah. You know, Charlie the robot.

SPEAKER_01 1:13

Yep, Charlie the Robot. Yep.

SPEAKER_00 1:16

You know, he's kind of an iconic.

SPEAKER_01 1:19

Yeah, he actually kind of is pretty iconic for the Scooby-Doo series.

SPEAKER_00 1:23

Spoilers for a you know six decade-old cartoon at this point, probably.

SPEAKER_01 1:30

Spoiler alerts for those of you who apparently haven't seen it yet, which doesn't make any any sense. But all right, we'll see.

unknown 1:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:38

What better way to watch it than watch it with the people from the podcast? I couldn't think of anything better. You need the professionals on this one. Exactly. Oh man. All right.

SPEAKER_00 1:53

So, yeah. We won't chew up too much of your time right now. We'll go ahead and get started with the episode. We'll split up, look for some clues, and we'll be right back. And we're back. That was foul play in Funland. Man. And there was some foul play going on.

SPEAKER_01 2:17

There was definitely some foul play. I'd say sabotage. Man.

SPEAKER_00 2:22

Boy. But we'll get there. We will get there. Alright. So we open with the game Clam Hunting on the Beach.

SPEAKER_01 2:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:31

And we find out that Scooby doesn't like clams.

SPEAKER_01 2:34

No, apparently he doesn't like them.

SPEAKER_00 2:36

So apparently there is one thing that he will not eat. That is one thing he will eat. Which is good for Shaggy because he likes clams.

SPEAKER_01 2:42

He likes them. They're good enough to eat.

SPEAKER_00 2:45

They're talking about how nice it would be if the nearby amusement park Funland was open when all of a sudden the lights go on, which they find strange because it's not supposed to be open for a couple of weeks yet. Yep. So they decide to go check it out. And they split up right away. Of course. Shaggy and Scooby go for some food and are surprised when they get their food. Fred and the girls find a bottle toss game where you throw a ball at a stack of bottles. Fred knocks them down and goes set them back up when they notice that they're already restacked.

SPEAKER_01 3:29

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 3:29

And there's a prize sitting on the counter.

SPEAKER_01 3:32

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 3:32

And when he pays for it, the cash dragon.

SPEAKER_01 3:36

Cash register rings up 25 cents.

SPEAKER_00 3:39

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 3:40

Hmm. That's not weird at all. That's not mysterious. No, it's not. No, definitely not.

SPEAKER_00 3:46

Shake and Scooby catch sight of a running away figure that resembles a man from Mars.

SPEAKER_01 3:53

Oh, yes, the man from Mars.

SPEAKER_00 3:56

They chase it into a hall of mirrors where they have a lot of fun looking at all the fun different mirrors. Yep. Where all of a sudden Scooby sees a giant mouse.

SPEAKER_01 4:06

Not a giant mouse. A giant mouse. Why would we see a giant mouse? Because it's just a regular size mouse that's that looks giant with a mirror. Oh, it's a giant mouse.

SPEAKER_00 4:19

In which Shaggy then notices the man from Mars in the mirror.

SPEAKER_01 4:25

Standing next to him in the mirror.

SPEAKER_00 4:27

So they run out.

SPEAKER_01 4:29

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 4:30

Fred and Daphne and Velma see the man from Mars going on to a Ferris wheel. And you know, they see it go up. But when the ride comes back down, he's gone. He's gone. And all of the lights start going down. They end up going to the caretaker's house. Yep. Did we get the name of the I thought we did. I know I know the woman is Sarah Jenkins, but they just refer to him as Mr. Jenkins.

SPEAKER_01 5:02

I think so too. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:04

And I th I mean brother and sister.

SPEAKER_01 5:06

Yeah, they were brother and sister. Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins. Yeah, they're brother and sister.

SPEAKER_00 5:11

They explain what was going on, but both Mr. Jenkins and Sarah Jenkins dismiss it. Yep. And basically tell the kids to go off. Go do your thing, kids.

SPEAKER_01 5:25

Don't mind us over here, yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 5:29

Yeah. The game, they decide to stake out the place because obviously they know what they saw. Yep. And you know, instead of a stake out, Shaggy wants to stake in. A stake in his stomach. That is. Yep.

SPEAKER_01 5:45

Stake in me, that is. And Scooby's all for it. He's getting yum yum yum.

SPEAKER_00 5:52

And you know, as soon as they see the lights go back on in farmland, they'll go back to investigate.

SPEAKER_01 5:57

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 5:58

This time everything is going hands.

SPEAKER_01 6:00

Everything's running backwards.

SPEAKER_00 6:01

Yep, the merry-grounds backwards, cotton candies going everywhere. Hot dogs were going everywhere. Yep. We're shakey decides to then expertly catch them on a plate instead of just letting Scooby catch them in his mouth.

SPEAKER_01 6:15

Well, he's hungry too. He's got, you know, he's gotta eat too. He hasn't eaten anything yet. Not really.

SPEAKER_00 6:19

You know.

SPEAKER_01 6:21

Man's gotta eat, you know.

SPEAKER_00 6:25

They eventually catch the man from Mars going into the tunnel of love. They follow after, paddling a boat. When as soon as they get in, the man from Mars is swimming towards him like a human torpedo. Sinks their boat.

SPEAKER_01 6:42

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 6:44

Daphne is all mad for him ruining her hair.

SPEAKER_01 6:48

He'll make her pay for what he did to her hair.

SPEAKER_00 6:52

So they continue walking around the funland where the man from Mars chases Shaggy and Scooby onto a roller coaster. In which while they're on the roller coaster, they're in the front cart, man from Mars is in the back, and he starts climbing over the seats.

SPEAKER_01 7:16

Yep. Starts to.

SPEAKER_00 7:18

Yeah. Fred notices another roller coaster on a nearby track going in the opposite direction and slows it down so Shaggy and Scooby can jump to it.

SPEAKER_01 7:29

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00 7:30

That's not safe. Don't do that. Don't do that.

SPEAKER_01 7:33

No, definitely don't do that, guys. Um that's a safety concern for the episode.

SPEAKER_00 7:39

Yep. Uh so Shaggy and Scooby escape the man from Mars, and when the original cart comes back down thinking they're able to catch him, it's empty. They notice him at the top of the roller coaster where he jumps off of it into a circus tent.

SPEAKER_01 7:57

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 7:58

And when they go to see if he's injured, he's gone. Yep. So Shaggy makes a comment of how his eyes were like tail lights on a hot rod. In which Fred gets a brilliant idea of souping up an electric cart to chase after him. Uh-huh. Shaggy expertly flips the switch. Yep. Turning it on while Velma and Scooby are sitting in the front. Yep. It runs over a cable, knocking off Velma's glasses. So we can go ahead and take a drink for that. Yep. Definitely. Which, honestly, this is what, the second time in the whole series she's lost her glasses?

SPEAKER_01 8:42

I think so, something like that.

SPEAKER_00 8:43

Stuff for sure it would have been more by now.

SPEAKER_01 8:45

I was thinking so too, but it's kind of weird how they don't have very many, but yet they've always put out that she loses her glasses.

SPEAKER_00 8:52

Yeah, it's actually kind of amazing watching through these episodes and all these things that we immediately think of as being peak Scooby stuff.

SPEAKER_01 9:02

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 9:02

Isn't really all that common quite yet.

SPEAKER_01 9:05

No, it's not.

SPEAKER_00 9:06

I'm curious. This is I'm curious what the final numbers will look like when we get in the series specifically. Yep. Yeah. Velma uh shows that she does have situational awareness without her glasses. Because she immediately forgets that they are in a amusement park and what they were doing. Yep. You know, saying that they're in a nice wide street. Yeah. And Scooby points out that the robot is in front of them. She thinks it's a traffic cop. She remarks that there are no brakes in the cart.

SPEAKER_01 9:50

That's another safety concern. Yep. Make sure the cart has brakes in it, guys.

SPEAKER_00 9:56

So they drive past our man from Mars robot. Just right past them, yeah. And which he chases after them.

SPEAKER_01 10:04

Catching up, apparently. He's pretty good at that.

SPEAKER_00 10:07

Just by walking, he catches up. Yep. They come to an oncoming train. Yep. In which Velma remarks that the train will just have to watch out for itself because there are no brakes.

SPEAKER_01 10:20

What is that supposed to prove? That doesn't make any sense.

SPEAKER_00 10:26

Scooby and Velma make it past the train, but the robot gets hit by the train, flying up into the air, and landing in the caboose. That kind of backfired. In which they then crash into a huge pile of cotton candy. For some reason the cotton candy is enough to stop them. Yeah. Fred remarks that it's a good thing they're safe. Velma says that they didn't have a lick of trouble. Ask Scooby. And Scooby slurps up the cotton candy that he's covered with. Yep. Man. They set a trap in which it's a giant crate. Not a bad trap. Where it would have actually worked. Where they have Scoob. The plan is Scooby will lure the man from Mars into the crate and he will be hoisted out in a basket.

SPEAKER_01 11:22

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 11:24

And when proposed to Scooby of doing it, Scooby says no. No. And he says no to Scooby Snacks.

SPEAKER_01 11:32

That's a first.

SPEAKER_00 11:33

Yeah. And Velma says that, you know, she'll go with Scooby. They'll take the cart again. And when she says no cards, she'll go and do it. So you guys. This episode doesn't have a Scooby snack. This episode.

SPEAKER_01 11:48

No parts. At all. Not at all. Man.

SPEAKER_00 11:52

Are we sure we watched Scooby?

SPEAKER_01 11:53

Yeah, are we sure we watched the right episode? There's always gonna be a Scooby snack.

SPEAKER_00 11:59

Right?

SPEAKER_01 11:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:01

Scooby's hiding in a barrel. Yep. Crashes into the robot. Yep. And then this starts running, runs into a wax museum, and hides as a couple of different wax figures. First as a caveman who kind of looks like Captain Caveman.

SPEAKER_01 12:22

It does kind of look like Captain Caveman, doesn't it?

SPEAKER_00 12:24

And now I'm curious as to when Captain Caveman made his debut.

SPEAKER_01 12:30

We'll have to look into that.

SPEAKER_00 12:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:32

Because I don't remember, I never really saw it, but I know the way I know about it's from the Laugh Olympics. Yeah. So he had to have been before the Laugh Olympics to have been mentioned in there.

SPEAKER_00 12:43

Unless the Laugh Olympics was his first appearance. It could go either way.

SPEAKER_01 12:47

Yeah, yeah. I'll have to look at it.

SPEAKER_00 12:49

Maybe this is where they got the idea for Captain Caveman.

SPEAKER_01 12:51

Maybe it is where they're right. It could be.

SPEAKER_00 12:55

But then he also dresses up as a a pirate. Yep, a red-coated pirate. Before leaving the wax museum, runs into the crate. Yep. Robot follows him. Gets locked in the crate. Scooby's hoisted out. The trap works.

SPEAKER_01 13:13

It does.

SPEAKER_00 13:14

Until the robot keeps running and crashes through the crate. To another box. Through a brick wall. Yeah. In which the you know, the game remark that he's not human.

SPEAKER_01 13:27

Nope.

SPEAKER_00 13:28

When, you know, out of nowhere, Mr. Jenkins appears and explains that he's a robot named Charlie that he built to help run the amusement park.

SPEAKER_01 13:38

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 13:39

But somehow the robot got out of control.

SPEAKER_01 13:41

Hmm. I wonder who could have done that. We now get trap number two. Yay. Which it sounds like a really good trap. It sounds foolproof, but yeah, we're gonna have complications here.

SPEAKER_00 13:51

And trap number two is a giant magnet. See? Sounds like a pretty good trap. Yep. And you know, it actually does work. It starts attracting the robot.

SPEAKER_01 14:03

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 14:04

When out of nowhere a hand cuts a wire.

SPEAKER_01 14:08

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 14:09

And the robot then runs and crashes into stuff and is just kind of laying there. Pretty much. Kind of just sitting there. Yep. We then find out that it was Sarah Jenkins who cut the wire because she caused Charlie to go out of control because she does not think that robots are fit to operate a place with children.

SPEAKER_01 14:34

Well, I mean, not wrong.

SPEAKER_00 14:35

Yeah. Daphne agrees, saying that, you know, Charlie may be nice, but you know, kids need humans. So Mr. Jenkins is going to rebuild Charlie to be nice. And so we get Charlie the second. Charlie the second. And the next day the game goes to visit, you know, see how Charlie is doing. Yep. In which we see that he is scratching Scooby's ears. Yep. And all is good. And that's the end of the episode.

SPEAKER_01 15:04

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 15:04

You know, it's a nice short one this year.

SPEAKER_01 15:06

It is a nice short one. Yeah. I like that. Yep. Pretty good episode though, too. You know. It is.

SPEAKER_00 15:13

Very surprised that there are zero Scooby snacks in this episode.

SPEAKER_01 15:17

I know. I definitely wanna thought there were gonna be some in this episode, so that kind of stinks a little bit.

SPEAKER_00 15:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:23

You know, but so maybe we'll make up for them later.

SPEAKER_00 15:28

So now we get to do the fun stuff for the wrap-up of this episode.

SPEAKER_01 15:34

Let's do the fun stuff.

SPEAKER_00 15:36

Yeah. So, where do we want to start with?

SPEAKER_01 15:40

Oh, that's stupid. Let's go from the top, I guess. Didn't we always go from the top, technically? Technically, yeah. I mean well, I guess it doesn't matter where we start, but you know.

SPEAKER_00 15:50

So, well, yeah, we'll start with the obvious with the snack intake of zero Scooby snacks.

SPEAKER_01 15:55

Bringing our grand total to whatever the grand total was last week. Oh, geez.

SPEAKER_00 16:02

Three, six, ten, fourteen. Eighteen plus one shaggy snack. Plus one shaggy snack.

unknown 16:11

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 16:12

Alright. So eighteen plus one shaggy snack.

SPEAKER_00 16:16

All right. Alright, the manifest of monsters. Yeah. Charlie the robot. Well, first let's go. Let's remind everybody what the current rankings are. Let's do it. At the bottom of the list, we have the ape-man. Because he was so lazy, he didn't even buy his own ghost costume. He just used the one provided for him. The one provided for him on man. Above him is the Vasquez Castle Ghost.

SPEAKER_01 16:47

Yeah, he's probably the Black Knight Ghost.

SPEAKER_00 16:51

The Black Knight Ghost. Okay. Minor 49er. Yep. Indian Witch Doctor. The ghost of Captain Cutler. Okay. And so far the best ghost of the series has been the ghost of Elias Kingston.

SPEAKER_01 17:04

That is true. He is actually probably apparently one of the better ones because he catches everybody off screen. So that makes him even more interesting than the other ones. So Charlie the Robot. Oh, yeah, that's an interesting one. Well, he's still not as good as the one from Hex from What the Hex Going On. He's still not as good as that one. Let's see. He's obviously better than the Ape Man.

SPEAKER_00 17:33

He's better than I think design-wise, I would put him above Captain Cutler.

SPEAKER_01 17:40

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That would work.

SPEAKER_00 17:42

You know. Yeah. He's not really like doing anything monstrous. Like technically he provides food for Shaggy and Scooby.

SPEAKER_01 17:51

Right? Because he's probably the one they're making.

SPEAKER_00 17:53

Does that mean he's the hero of the show?

SPEAKER_01 17:55

I I guess, but that doesn't sound right. But I mean, I guess we can do that.

SPEAKER_00 18:03

So at number two, we've got Charlie the robot?

SPEAKER_01 18:06

I guess. Oh man. Oh right.

SPEAKER_00 18:15

Alright guys. Now we've got the trap list.

SPEAKER_01 18:19

Alright, the trap list. So are we doing both of them or just one of them? Um or to say they're both together and they're all like they're both together on the trap, or they both are supposed to have worked, and they would have worked if if one, it wasn't sabotaged.

SPEAKER_00 18:35

We can almost kind of lump them together as the same trap, I think, because it's it's not like it's like last week, where they had the one trap, but then they had more going on before they did the giant slide.

SPEAKER_01 18:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 18:56

Alright, we'll put it. So we'll just do well, we can call this one crate and magnet.

SPEAKER_01 19:02

Okay, crate magnet.

SPEAKER_00 19:06

So I mean But first I think we should name our trap list. Yep, definitely should name it. Listener AJ has provided the name the Fred Jones Failure Files for our trap list.

SPEAKER_01 19:22

Shout out to AJ for creating a perfect name for our trap list.

SPEAKER_00 19:25

Yes, thank you. Thank you. And I actually had a question for you. Should we retroactively count the biplane that they crash into the black knight ghost onto this list?

SPEAKER_01 19:38

Ooh.

SPEAKER_00 19:40

Because we have the dogs, which isn't really a trap.

SPEAKER_01 19:43

Right, no. I mean, yeah, I mean, the plane that definitely could be a trap option. So I mean, so we have like two traps to add to this picture. So man.

SPEAKER_00 19:54

So let's uh go off from the bottom of our trap list, and we will you know, then add uh to it. Right now, the worst trap we've got is the giant slide from last week. Yep, you know, it was just a giant slide.

SPEAKER_01 20:13

It was just a giant slide. It worked, but yet it wasn't really anything special. You know, didn't really have anything special.

SPEAKER_00 20:20

It was part of a movie set. Like his friend didn't even think of it really as well.

SPEAKER_01 20:23

No, he didn't. He just kind of used it because it was there.

SPEAKER_00 20:26

So number five is the instant suds. Instant Sud, which you know fire hose, bar of soap in a spray container.

SPEAKER_01 20:35

That doesn't really add much for a crap.

SPEAKER_00 20:39

Number four is dogs. Dogs, yep. It's just a stampede of dogs. But it's effective though, but not very special. Number three, we have the fake train that they did with a hand cart, a headlight, and Shaggy imitating a train. Yep. Number two is Special Effects, where they used a special camera and a whole bunch of just ridiculous nonsense to catch the ghost of Elias Kingston. Yep. Which also worked without a problem.

SPEAKER_01 21:16

It actually did. One of the first ones I worked with without a problem.

SPEAKER_00 21:19

And the number one best trap so far of the series is the better mouse trap. Built from a suit of armor and an old crossbow, an old screen.

SPEAKER_01 21:30

Cannonball, an old spring. Yep. Oh man.

SPEAKER_00 21:35

So what should we rank first? This week's or the first probably the first episode just to get it there and how would you rate Scooby trying to crash into a person with the biplane?

SPEAKER_01 21:49

I mean, he actually was pretty successful. So I mean, I don't I don't know. Where do you want to I mean it's but obviously better than the buttons? It's obviously better than that. Obviously, better than them, unless you don't think I don't know. I mean, I think it's better than the dogs. Oh, yeah. Is it better than the fake train? I don't know. That's a tough one.

SPEAKER_00 22:12

Both of them scooby crashing into the thing.

SPEAKER_01 22:16

Those work. Alright. But it's probably not better than the special effects. So it's probably still down below. Unless you want to assume it's so depending on what's the thing.

SPEAKER_00 22:27

Yeah, it's not better than special effects.

SPEAKER_01 22:29

No, and definitely not better than a better mouse trap. So it's hmm, do you want to put it above fake train or below fake train? I know that's a tough one, isn't it? I didn't make think I'd make you think today. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 22:43

Maybe, I don't know, maybe below, because Scooby is it. We don't want to condone Scooby turning those into real ghosts.

SPEAKER_01 22:51

Right.

SPEAKER_00 22:56

Alright. And so now we've got the crate and the magnet.

SPEAKER_01 23:01

I mean, if they wouldn't have failed, but then again, they were sabotaged by unruly means.

SPEAKER_00 23:08

Better or worse than special effects. Oh man. I mean I mean, this one gave us a giant magnet. Yeah, it worked. We're talking like Looney Tunes, giant magnetic ridiculousness.

SPEAKER_01 23:21

It's acme it must have been Acme. Acme must have delivered it to him. Probably. Where's the coyote? Oh man, okay. Hmm. So are we saying it is better than special effects?

SPEAKER_00 23:36

You think it's better?

SPEAKER_01 23:38

I mean, if it would have worked, it probably would have been better than a better mousetrap, but it failed. So, but then that's because it was sabotaged. The yeah, they cut someone cut the wire, and then the other first part was because it was a robot that wasn't being held down by a crate or a wall of bricks.

SPEAKER_00 23:57

And the crate would have worked if it was just the regular ghosts.

SPEAKER_01 24:01

Regular ghosts, people. Oh, all right. Should we should we have it be below special effects and says it didn't technically work, but yet it was still better than all the other houses? I'm fine with that. All right. So I'm like, they were all foolproof traps. It just sucked that it was a robot involved that would have made it, you know, not work. Right. That's the only thing that sucked with it. I'm like, oh, those were really good traps. Yeah. I mean, you know, Fred really outdid himself with the first one, surprisingly, even though they're a failure trap list.

SPEAKER_00 24:43

Okay. And so now I think that brings us to the Scooby-Zone table of snacks.

SPEAKER_01 24:50

Oh, alright, the table of snacks.

SPEAKER_00 24:52

So how many Scooby snacks would you rate this episode?

SPEAKER_01 24:56

Oh man, I mean it was a really good episode, surprising. Even though it's not like one of my I like it, but it's not like one of my, you know, favorite tier episodes. But it still is a really I mean it's better than like Hassel in the Castle, you know, or like, well, I'd say decoy for Dog Navarro but the other one's for, you know, but it's like I mean, it's not a bad watch through. I mean, it's one that if it's on, hey, let's watch it. You know, it's not like oh, you see it and you're like, oh, I don't want to watch it at all, but it's like, hey, it's on, let's let's watch it, you know, so it's not yeah, you know, so I'd say it's a nice solid four. I was actually thinking it was gonna be a solid four myself. I didn't know what we were.

SPEAKER_00 25:36

No, it's an enjoyable episode.

SPEAKER_01 25:38

Um, I agree.

SPEAKER_00 25:40

But uh it I don't know, it felt like it went by way too quickly.

SPEAKER_01 25:44

It did, it felt like it was a quick episode.

SPEAKER_00 25:47

Like there wasn't despite the game split up for pretty much the whole 80% of the episode, there wasn't a lot of just hijinks between going going back and forth. Like usually when you've got the game split up, like Shady and Scooby are getting into much more hijinks.

SPEAKER_01 26:10

They are getting in much more trouble than they normally do.

SPEAKER_00 26:14

And this is the second episode in a row where the mystery machine's not there.

SPEAKER_01 26:19

No, it's not. That's weird. Yeah, you always see the mystery machine.

SPEAKER_00 26:24

Which makes this like the third episode so far with no mystery machine. Yeah, I think yeah, it's on the case. Because there's no mystery machine in Hassel for the Castle. No, there's not one. Hassle in the Castle.

SPEAKER_01 26:38

Because you don't like the Hassle in the Castle.

SPEAKER_00 26:40

Yeah, I think I said Hassle for the Castle before.

SPEAKER_01 26:45

You might have.

SPEAKER_00 26:47

And if not, now I just completely messed this all up. But you all get to listen to it.

SPEAKER_01 26:52

Yay!

SPEAKER_00 26:56

We're having fun.

SPEAKER_01 26:57

We are, aren't we? That's what matters. That's what counts.

SPEAKER_00 27:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:02

Oh man.

SPEAKER_00 27:04

But yeah. So yeah, it's really weird when we don't see the mystery machine.

SPEAKER_01 27:08

I know, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 27:09

That's just like you would always think it'd be there, but and the mystery machine has not broken down as often as you think it would yet.

SPEAKER_01 27:16

No, it hasn't, which is surprising.

SPEAKER_00 27:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:19

Because that's another kind of problem that happens in later episodes or later series, I should say, where they well, no, it's doesn't it break down at least one episode coming up? I think it does. The Haunted House hangup, doesn't it break down in that one? I don't know if it breaks down anytime before that. Um I don't think so.

SPEAKER_00 27:42

I don't believe so.

SPEAKER_01 27:44

I mean, we'll we'll we'll we'll get to that point when we get there. But I'm thinking that is I mean, that could be another option for us to put in two of the time the right time the mystery machine breaks down. But that might be well, that might be for like later series where that happens. Yeah. We won't might not do it this time because it's not gonna make any sense. I mean, if we do have to add them, we could, but I don't know if I see anything in the we'll get to that when we get to it. Yep, we'll get when we see more than one pop up that's you know able to be mentioned, then we'll start talking about it. Right. Yep.

SPEAKER_00 28:21

Alright, what's all right, so what's alright, what's all right. I think that just about wraps up this episode for us. Episode eight in the books, guys. Yeah, it was kind of a short one this week.

SPEAKER_01 28:37

It was, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_00 28:39

Alright. So we'll be back next week with the backstage.

SPEAKER_01 28:46

Backstage Rage, which this time is gonna be on a VHS copy we're gonna watch from the greatest mysteries. Yep. So we're going back in time, guys, to watch it on VHS. So if you have it on VHS, break it out and you'll watch Backstage Rage with us. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:03

So until then, you guys, just remember they would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddling kids.
