So do you think Velma's the one who tells the ghost ship to go away?

SPEAKER_00 0:27

She might. I mean, with her side telling everything else to go away. Or stop that. Yep. You know, she's you know, she's getting pretty vocal with Although she didn't tell the witch to go away last. No, but she told the zombie to go away. No, she told the mummy. She told the mommy to go away. She didn't say anything to the Yeah. Yeah, right?

They're kind of spooky. Yeah, and they're they also could be cursed and all that stuff. You know, it could be And they've got pirates.

SPEAKER_01 1:10

And if there's one thing I've learned in life, pirates lead to cat creatures, which lead to zombies.

SPEAKER_00 1:17

Yeah. Yeah, I suppose somehow that works like that.

But I feel like even if you guys weren't listening, I still feel like we would be doing this.

SPEAKER_00 3:12

Right. Yep. Just because we have the passion for it. I mean, who doesn't love a great date? You know, who doesn't like he's a lovable great date? Who doesn't love him, you know?

SPEAKER_01 3:21

Um but you know, go away, go ship, like yeah, go away, go ship. I remember this one from the VHS tape, Scooby-Doo's creepiest capers.

SPEAKER_00 3:31

Definitely.

SPEAKER_01 3:32

Although I don't recall this one being all that creepy.

SPEAKER_00 3:34

Definitely not creepy. So yeah, why would it be on? I guess we'll have to find that one.

SPEAKER_01 3:38

Although Hassle in the Castle was also on that VHS tape, and that one wasn't really all that creepy.

SPEAKER_00 3:42

No, that one should not have been on there. They should have put something else.

SPEAKER_01 3:46

But I believe that one had haunted house hang up and a night of rate is no delight, which those two belong on there at least.

SPEAKER_00 3:52

But, you know, not the other two, but you know, I mean again, they didn't.

SPEAKER_01 3:56

I don't know what other episodes would have been creepy enough to be on there from Where Are You?

SPEAKER_00 4:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:04

Which is, you know, considering we've been we're more than halfway through.

SPEAKER_00 4:08

Right, exactly. Well, maybe the ghost clown could have been on there. Sorry, I didn't know.

SPEAKER_01 4:15

I can't help it that ghost clowns are creepy.

SPEAKER_00 4:17

Well, no, but I mean I'm just saying. Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_01 4:21

Pennywise.

SPEAKER_00 4:22

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 4:23

Joker.

SPEAKER_00 4:25

Well, it depends on the Joker, because the Joker that's in the Scooby-Doo movies, he's he's funny. He's hilarious.

SPEAKER_01 4:33

Still creepy looking.

SPEAKER_00 4:35

Uh yeah, I suppose. Especially when he's his lips are moving.

SPEAKER_01 4:38

Like honestly, I think the only I think the only Joker design that I have seen. Yep. Not counting some of his comic designs because you know comics, like you know, it's all dependent on yeah. Like, so in terms of like movies and TV shows, like I think the only one that I have not found like kind of any sort of like creepy factor to was Caesar Romero's Joker.

unknown 5:04

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 5:04

From the 60s.

SPEAKER_00 5:06

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 5:07

You know, he had more of a comedic look to him. But like every other Joker sense, like I've always set like a more like sinister, creepy looking.

SPEAKER_00 5:18

Right.

SPEAKER_01 5:18

You know, you know, outside of Mark Hamill's phenomenal joker. Oh, I know. That was the best. I think for me the best joker is uh Jack Nicholson.

SPEAKER_00 5:29

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 5:30

From the Tim Burton films.

SPEAKER_00 5:32

Well, I don't know. I I still think Mark Hamill is probably one of the best.

SPEAKER_01 5:36

I mean Mark Hamill, like you can't beat Mark Hamill, though.

SPEAKER_00 5:38

No, you definitely can't.

SPEAKER_01 5:40

He's like the definitive voice of the Joker.

SPEAKER_00 5:43

Joker. Right.

SPEAKER_01 5:43

I read I read any comic that Joker pops up in like it's Mark Hamill's voice. I'm hearing in my head. And he's cackling here, kind of like with Kevin Conroy's Batman voice.

SPEAKER_00 5:52

Oh, I know. Those two go hand in hand. You have you can't have it without each other, they both are in it together.

SPEAKER_01 5:57

I mean, I will say the the entirety of the voice casts for the entirety of the DC animated universe was so spot on for every single character. Right. It was perfect.

SPEAKER_00 6:11

I mean, I couldn't have thought of people.

SPEAKER_01 6:13

It was perfect across the board for Batman the Animated Series and Superman the Animated Series and Justice League, like you know, those voices I believe are just so iconic.

SPEAKER_00 6:25

Yeah, indefinite. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:27

Um, just like how with Scooby, like I pick up a Scooby comic to read. Yep. You know, it is Casey Kasim's voice I hear. It is Don Messick's voice I hear. It is Frank Welker's voice you hear. Well, as Fred.

SPEAKER_00 6:42

He's always been Fred, so he's but you know, well, technically, no, he hasn't been Fred. There is one movie where he hasn't been Fred, but yet, you know, we're not gonna get into that very.

SPEAKER_01 6:54

We're not there yet.

SPEAKER_00 6:54

Well, I don't know if I want to get there. I've never seen the movie now. I don't know if I want to see it.

SPEAKER_01 6:59

Eventually we'll have to get to it.

SPEAKER_00 7:00

I guess eventually.

SPEAKER_01 7:01

And we're gonna cover everything every main scoopy thing for sure.

SPEAKER_00 7:05

I suppose. Yeah. Regrettably.

SPEAKER_01 7:08

You know. At this point, I think I it's almost Grey Delisle's voice I hear for Daphne. I think she's done it like more consistently. Not although. Yeah, it's been a while since I've heard Heather North's voice.

SPEAKER_00 7:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:28

But we'll be getting to that pretty soon.

SPEAKER_00 7:30

Right, yep.

SPEAKER_01 7:32

And Velma's been quite a few different ones. Yeah. I think for me the most consistent one was Mindy Cohn.

SPEAKER_00 7:39

I think so too.

SPEAKER_01 7:40

That I remember hearing a lot. Definitely. In the what's new era. And I believe she does voice film in Mystery Incorporated yet.

SPEAKER_00 7:50

Yeah, for a bit of it, a couple seasons of it, I think she does it. Yeah. Yeah. Or at least one of them, at least the first season. Then it gets all messed up after that.

SPEAKER_01 7:58

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00 7:59

You know.

SPEAKER_01 7:59

But you know, but yeah, like, you know, the fact that Casey Kasem's voice as shaggy is just so iconic.

SPEAKER_00 8:06

Oh, I know.

SPEAKER_01 8:06

You know, nothing against Matthew Lillard.

SPEAKER_00 8:09

No, but he's more he was more perfect for the live action. He did so well for that, but it's like he's I mean, he's good at Shaggy cartoon-wise, but yet no one can be Casey Case. I'm glad we have Mark Matthew to do it. But I mean, the only person who stands up toe-to-toe with Casey is the ones, the one who did it during the movie era in the early 2000s. That's the only one that can stand up, you know, where I didn't even know it wasn't Casey until just recently, where I looked at the the cast and I'm like, Casey isn't shaggy? What what happened then also? I mean, I didn't know anything what happened there, but you know.

SPEAKER_01 8:54

Yeah. In my opinion, it was a lot of nonsense, but it was I agree.

SPEAKER_00 8:58

It was definitely a lot of nonsense.

SPEAKER_01 9:00

But I didn't know we will talk more about that when we get to those movies. That time point. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:07

Yep. No, I agree. Definitely.

SPEAKER_01 9:10

You know, kind of like how, you know, when we did our first episode, we went over, like, you know, the voice cast that we haven't since. Yep. And, you know, I we most likely won't until there is a cast changeup, which I believe, I believe which I think is season two of Where Are You? When Heather North then starts voicing Daphne. Yep.

SPEAKER_02 9:33

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 9:36

But anyways, uh, we're starting to get off topic. Yes, I guess we are. So you guys. Right. So let's get back to our train of thoughts. Our train of thought episode. You know, we're gonna go venture onto this ghost ship and look for some clues.

SPEAKER_00 9:55

We'll be right back, guys.

SPEAKER_01 9:57

You know, you guys can too. Every episode is DVD, Blu-ray, and VHS if you still have those guys, you know. Yep. You know, available digitally on Fandango, which used to be Voodoo. It's available on Amazon Prime for purchase.

SPEAKER_00 10:15

And it's still on Tubi, definitely.

SPEAKER_01 10:18

Yep. So, you know, you guys can go ahead and watch it. We'll split up, look for clues. We'll be right back. And we're back. That was go away, ghost ship, and boy, did the ghost ship sure go away.

SPEAKER_00 10:40

It sure did, but it wasn't Velma yelling at the ship to go away. She never did that this round. No, she did not.

SPEAKER_01 10:48

Think she finally learned her lesson?

SPEAKER_00 10:50

I I think she did. I I certainly hope she did, you know.

SPEAKER_01 10:54

Right. All right. Whoops. So let's go ahead and start from the top. Yeah, start from the top, guys. All right. We open up on a uh freighter and you know, cruising down the sea. Yep. And the captain is on deck peering into his binoculars where he catches sight of a ghostly pirate ship and the ghost of the captain Redbeard.

SPEAKER_00 11:22

Uh-oh, who's laughing hysterically for some reason. Yeah. I don't understand why he's laughing so hysterically. That doesn't mean I mean he's a happy pirate. I don't know if he's I don't know if it's a happy laugh or if it's cynical. I don't know. He's just laughing.

SPEAKER_01 11:38

Only he knows.

SPEAKER_00 11:40

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_01 11:40

You know.

SPEAKER_00 11:41

The ghost does know that.

SPEAKER_01 11:42

We then go to the malt shop the next morning.

SPEAKER_00 11:46

Iconic malt shop.

SPEAKER_01 11:48

You know, you know, the Scooby Gane is there. Fred's reading the paper about how the ghost of Redbeard the Pirate has been hijacking freighters that are owned by C. L. Magnus. Oh, okay. You know. They're, you know, they figure, like, hey, maybe we should go talk to him, see what's up. Right. For some reason, Fred, who is sitting between Shaggy and Velma, his drink has two straws in it.

SPEAKER_00 12:19

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 12:20

Why does it have one next to him, one more on Scooby's side? Scooby's side.

SPEAKER_00 12:26

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 12:27

Yeah, that's something I found interesting. Right.

SPEAKER_00 12:31

I mean, they that seems like a weird, weird setup. Because why would Scooby be sitting by Fred when he should really be sitting by unless they did it for for the sandwich, because Scooby would have been on the opposite side and you have to yank it. I mean, I don't.

SPEAKER_01 12:51

Yeah, I don't know. It doesn't make any sense. Shaggy is making a super duper sandwich that he ties down so it's bite-sized, asks Scooby to help hold it down while he's tying his the string and Scooby snatches it away through the string.

SPEAKER_00 13:10

He realizes, hey, he's got the he's got the string and he yanks it back and enjoys it for himself. And Shaggy's like, what happened?

SPEAKER_01 13:19

Well, they go off to see Ciel Magnus, but get stopped by his creepy butler.

SPEAKER_00 13:25

Butlers, why are they always so creepy? That doesn't Why can't you have a good-looking butler instead of a creepy one? It doesn't make any sense. Apparently.

SPEAKER_01 13:56

Velma's dressed as a maid, Shaggy a chef. You know, they get in saying room service, breakfast is served.

SPEAKER_00 14:04

At 11 o'clock at night. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:07

Because then you don't have to get up in the morning to eat it. How does this make any sense? It makes perfect sense. At least for the people who have second breakfast. I can see Shaggy with the diet of a hobbit. That is true.

SPEAKER_00 14:23

That poor Legolas is sitting there, hmm. A little crumb is like something like a little crumb is good enough for the stomach of a and they're like, How many did you have? I had two, and the other's like, I had four. It's like two whoops. It was something weird how he said it, but well, let's get past it.

SPEAKER_01 14:43

You know, they trip over something. A bear rug. Yeah. It's a bear rug, I think. And they, you know, they crash, you know, they're all out. CL Magnus wants to know what's going on, and Daphne says, Would you believe we're here to help?

SPEAKER_00 14:58

Like good Samaritan Joe's.

SPEAKER_01 15:00

Yeah. Yep. You know, so he tells them how, you know, the ghost of Redbeard is hijacking his ships. I believe it had something to do with what? His great-great-grandfather. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:14

Something within his family limb line or whatever that he upset the pirate or something or something.

SPEAKER_01 15:21

Yeah, uh, one of his ancestors helped bring the dreaded pirate to justice.

SPEAKER_00 15:26

And he claimed he'd get come back for revenge or something. It's always something like that. They claim they'll be back for revenge.

SPEAKER_01 15:32

Yeah. So, you know, the game, they head to the marina, they get a small little speed boat, hook it up with a tape recorder and a speaker. So when they go into the mysterious fog bank that the ghost ship appears in, they will switch on the tape recording to make the ghost ship think that they are the shipping trader.

SPEAKER_00 15:57

Yay.

SPEAKER_01 15:58

Well, their plan works too well. Um that, you know, it looks like the ghost ship is gonna ram them. Yep. Shaggy's told to put the boat into full speed reverse. Double full speed reverse. And he's such an expert at boating that the motor just flies off.

SPEAKER_00 16:21

Flies off.

SPEAKER_01 16:22

Leaving them stranded.

SPEAKER_00 16:23

Yep. And he's also an expert in paddling.

SPEAKER_01 16:26

Yep. Because he and Velma are paddling in opposite directions.

SPEAKER_00 16:31

So the boat's not moving. I'm paddling, I'm paddling, but I'm not getting anywhere. Me neither. Well, no duh, Velma.

SPEAKER_01 16:38

The ships collide. So the small speed boat is, you know, cut in half. Yep. Shag and Scoob swim to the pirate ship because they're not. Where else are you supposed to go? Right. Same time, Fred and the girls sneak onto the pirate ship from their end. Yep. Y'all. We follow Shaggy and Scooby. They're going through, find a picture of Redbeard the pirate. Scooby decides to draw some funny glasses on him.

SPEAKER_00 17:10

Draw some funny glasses on him.

SPEAKER_01 17:11

In which the pirate of Redbeard pulls the picture up like a curtain.

SPEAKER_00 17:17

A black curtain.

SPEAKER_01 17:18

And is there screaming at him? Yep. Starts chasing Shaggy and Scooby. Yep. Who run away just to come face to face with a ghost sword. Oh, yep. So I think Game Freak must have been watchers of Scooby-Doo.

SPEAKER_00 17:33

They must have been.

SPEAKER_01 17:34

I could see where this is the inspiration for the Pokemon Hone Edge.

SPEAKER_00 17:38

Yeah. Yeah, that is true. Yep, most definitely.

SPEAKER_01 17:41

You know, it's a sword that's a ghost.

SPEAKER_00 17:43

Right? But does the ghost know that? That's the line we're gonna keep using, I think.

SPEAKER_01 17:50

Yep. You know, we cut to Fred and the girls. You know, they're walking through and suddenly starts getting really chilly.

SPEAKER_00 18:01

Yeah, but it's not the ship that's giving you chills.

SPEAKER_01 18:04

It's tubs of dry ice.

SPEAKER_00 18:06

Right. What would that be doing on a ghost ship?

SPEAKER_01 18:08

Who knows? But before they can find out, they get locked in the room with the dry ice. That's gonna be a really cold room. We are now back to Shaggy and Scooby, who have run into the ghost of Redbeard and his two pirate henchmen. Not the brightest henchmen, but you know, Redbeard tells them that, you know, they're gonna walk the plank, but if they were useful, he'd keep them around. You know, Shaggy mentions that they're good cooks. Oh, good cooking. So now they have to cook for Redbeard.

SPEAKER_00 18:42

Redbeard. Great idea there.

SPEAKER_01 18:44

Which, you know, Shaggy with his expert chef knowledge. Yep. Because he is an expert chef.

SPEAKER_00 18:51

He is, especially when it comes to ghosts. He knows exactly what they want to eat.

SPEAKER_01 18:56

He decides, you know, he's gonna make some ghost pirate stew.

SPEAKER_00 19:00

Definitely. Some ghost pirate stew.

SPEAKER_01 19:02

And if you want to make your own ghost pirate stew, these are the ingredients you're going to do.

SPEAKER_00 19:07

These are the ingredients. All right.

SPEAKER_01 19:09

Gotta bring some seawater to a boil.

SPEAKER_00 19:11

Uh yes, I guess that would that would definitely wear out what other water would you get? Right.

SPEAKER_01 19:16

You know, because it's ghost pirate stew. If it was just ghost stew, you could use any water.

SPEAKER_00 19:21

Right, but it's ghost pirates do.

SPEAKER_01 19:23

So then you add in some chains.

SPEAKER_00 19:24

Yep, add in some chains. Ghosts like chains. Yes. For some reason they do. I don't know why they do.

SPEAKER_01 19:31

You know, one scoop of ashes from the stove. From the stove. I don't know how to use it. So you've got to be using a wood-burning stove. A couple of cobwebs. Couple, okay, a couple of cobwebs. Last but most important ingredients. Yes. Soap.

SPEAKER_00 19:49

Shakey hardly uses it himself. But why not? Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:00

Just for the record, guys, do not actually make that. I do not believe it is edible at all.

SPEAKER_00 20:04

I don't think so. You'll make a bubble. You'll make a bubble screen. You could get away from pirates if you're making actual pirates do that. It would be very helpful with that.

SPEAKER_01 20:16

Redbeard forces Shaggy and Scooby to eat it. Yep. In which they start gobbling it up because they're scared of being turned into ghosts.

SPEAKER_00 20:27

Well, they're being scared to walk off lock the plank.

SPEAKER_01 20:30

Yeah. In which they hiccup. Yep. Find out the hey, bubbles.

SPEAKER_00 20:37

Bubbles. Let's bubble our way out of here.

SPEAKER_01 20:40

So, you know, they just make a torrent of bubbles so they can escape.

SPEAKER_00 20:45

Which apparently is effective because the ghosts now can't see that land as he'll freaking out.

SPEAKER_01 20:50

As they're going down a hallway, they see the two henchmen. Of course. So, gonna trick them. Right. Shaggy makes himself a paper pirate hat. And then using his super shaggy imitation of Redbeard. Which is apparently really good. Yeah. You know, convinces the henchmen to go the opposite direction.

SPEAKER_00 21:12

Get going, you swabs.

SPEAKER_01 21:15

You know.

SPEAKER_00 21:15

They went that away.

SPEAKER_01 21:18

In which Shaggy and Scooby then hide under a bucket. Yep. And are sneaking around on the floor, in which they end up going off the plank, anyways.

SPEAKER_00 21:31

Well, yeah, because sh they can't see where they're going. That's the only problem.

SPEAKER_01 21:35

So now they're out of one tub and into another. When Scooby's voice changes, sounds a lot like Velma.

SPEAKER_00 21:43

It does, doesn't it? I I didn't know he was an expert for Two Quest. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 21:47

It's not Scooby.

SPEAKER_00 21:49

It's Velma.

SPEAKER_01 21:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:51

Sticking your head out of the ship.

SPEAKER_01 21:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:53

Which is that that could be your safety concern too. That could be another safety concern. Don't stick your head out of a ship, people.

SPEAKER_01 22:01

Basically, you know, telling Shaggy that, you know, they're locked in there. Come help them. Yep. When the ship, pirate ship starts moving.

SPEAKER_00 22:10

We'll save you. I think. I think.

SPEAKER_01 22:13

Shaggy and Scooby start paddling their little bucket boat.

SPEAKER_00 22:16

And they're paddling the right way. So the boat moves. So the little barrel moves. Exactly. You gotta do it the right way. And all in the same direction if you want to go somewhere. Right.

SPEAKER_01 22:28

No. It's following the ghost ship. Yep. Which is going into a secret cove in Skull Island.

SPEAKER_00 22:35

Why is everything on Scooby-Doo Skull Island? There's a lot. Why is Skull Island in like every like it's mentioned a lot where it's Skull Island, Skull Island.

SPEAKER_01 22:45

That is a good question.

SPEAKER_00 22:47

We might have to look into that, figure out what. I mean, that's in couple that's named in a couple episodes. Yeah. That it's Skull Island. It's like, what? Why is it why do they keep doing that? I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 23:01

As that's where as Shaggy and Scooby are following, they Scooby comes across a fake shark. Yeah, that's kind of lucky it wasn't a real shark.

SPEAKER_00 23:12

No, but still, and then it has the attitude of an actual stark, because it's it speeds away and sprays them with water. But then Shaggy yells at Scooby's that quit cloning around.

SPEAKER_01 23:23

Yeah. You know. We cut to Fred and the girls where Redbeard the Pirate has them in chains. Yep. Says that soon they'll be a part of his ghostly crew. And he walks off. Huh. But he leaves the key in plain sight. Right. So Fred uses bits of straw and some chewing gum to pull the to pull the key to him.

SPEAKER_00 23:49

Where did he get the gum? And and the other thing. Where did he get the straws? Where did he get all the straws behind them?

SPEAKER_01 23:57

Yeah, there was a pile of straw that they were.

SPEAKER_00 24:00

Okay, but then how did he get the chewing gum when he wasn't chewing gum any other?

SPEAKER_01 24:04

Maybe it was in his pocket.

SPEAKER_00 24:06

It was in his pocket like that? Where it was half eaten already? It was half eaten. He looked like he pulled it out of his mouth with how it came down like that? How does that? I mean, they're scooby.

SPEAKER_01 24:18

I stopped trying to figure out Fred a long time ago.

SPEAKER_00 24:21

Oh, oh, just Fred. Oh.

SPEAKER_01 24:24

Ever since you know he had to come out of the closet. He doesn't come out of the closet like that. That's that sounds. He was in a closet and he came out. How else do you want me to phrase that?

SPEAKER_00 24:37

Well, that can mean a couple different things, how that's worded.

SPEAKER_01 24:41

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_00 24:42

Oh, I definitely do.

SPEAKER_01 24:45

Oh, we're getting cancelled for sure, aren't we?

SPEAKER_00 24:48

I hope not. I hope not. Okay, alright.

SPEAKER_01 24:54

You know, Fred and the girls escape.

SPEAKER_00 24:56

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 24:56

They go down a tunnel to find four more tunnels. Which way do they go?

SPEAKER_00 25:03

Mo.

SPEAKER_01 25:04

Moe?

SPEAKER_00 25:04

You know, ity, meeny, miny, mo. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 25:09

Moe it is. When Shaggy grabs Velma's shoulder. Yep.

SPEAKER_00 25:14

Ah!

SPEAKER_01 25:16

Fred's glad that they found them.

SPEAKER_00 25:19

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 25:19

You know, and Velma tells him to get rid of the ridiculous pirate hat that turns out to be the ship's manifest. Yep. Which I've heard of Man of War, but I've never heard of Manifest. Oh man. They follow down the tunnels to find tire tracks.

SPEAKER_00 25:40

Hmm. What would tire tracks be doing in a hidden cove?

SPEAKER_01 25:44

It just shows that the ghost drives a truck.

SPEAKER_00 25:47

Great. Now that we know the ghost drives a truck. So now here's a question.

SPEAKER_01 25:50

Okay. Is Redbeard the pirate a redneck pirate?

SPEAKER_00 25:53

Oh, he could be a redneck pirate. Definitely. Oh man.

SPEAKER_01 25:59

So you know, they follow the tire tracks all the way to a pirate chest. Yep. Where the tracks just disappear. So that means the truck's in the chest, right?

SPEAKER_00 26:11

Yeah. Where else would it be?

SPEAKER_01 26:13

Who knows? We open the chest to find a pirate skull. No truck.

SPEAKER_00 26:19

No truck. But he's asking for a password. Yeah. Whatever could the password be?

SPEAKER_01 26:25

Well, listeners, if you guessed that the password was yum yum yum and a liverworth a la mode, you guys are thinking on the same pattern as a shaggy and apparently the ghost.

SPEAKER_00 26:40

So it's not 16 men on a pirate ship? No.

SPEAKER_01 26:44

And it's not yo ho blow the man down. And it's not whatever Daphne was thinking it was going to be.

SPEAKER_00 26:51

I don't know what she was thinking.

SPEAKER_01 26:53

Kind of sad that we didn't get anything from her.

SPEAKER_00 26:56

I know. That would have been funny if we got something from her. But yet we didn't.

SPEAKER_01 27:00

No, the that is such a password.

SPEAKER_00 27:04

Wow, what a password.

SPEAKER_01 27:06

You know.

SPEAKER_00 27:07

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 27:08

The wall goes up.

SPEAKER_00 27:09

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 27:10

And the tire tracks continue.

SPEAKER_00 27:12

They lead right inside.

SPEAKER_01 27:14

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 27:14

Shaggy's expert pointing. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 27:17

We find out that this is where Redbeard has been storing all of the stolen cargo. Oh, okay. And it's where he will keep his secrets. Forever. Yep. Because Redbeard the pirate sees them and basically goes after them.

SPEAKER_00 27:33

Yep. Lower the iron doors and after them. Yep. Of course.

SPEAKER_01 27:38

They kind of all run off in different directions.

SPEAKER_00 27:41

Unfortunately, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:43

Shaggy and Scooby run back into the ghost sword. Oh, that again. They run into a big crate. Yep. That is, you know, full of Scooby snacks. Apparently, yeah, somehow it's full of Scooby snaps. Boxes of them. Boxes of them. Yep. So they take a box and they both start eating from it. Yep. Before they then burst out the top and run off.

SPEAKER_00 28:07

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 28:08

So they can add another 80 snacks to the snack.

SPEAKER_00 28:12

Yep, definitely. Wow. They both shared it equally this time. Yes. Which is good. They didn't try to steal it from each other. They both wanted to eat it. Yep.

SPEAKER_01 28:23

Yo. Shaggy comments how he needs a weapon to fight the sword with. Yep. This nightstick should do it.

SPEAKER_00 28:31

Nightstick.

SPEAKER_01 28:32

He sword fights the sword, and it turns out it's actually liverwurst.

SPEAKER_00 28:37

And that gets Scooby all excited. Yep. So he runs off and comes back with two pieces of bread.

SPEAKER_01 28:43

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 28:44

And gets a whole gets quite a few pieces of liverwurst. Closes it down. And it's delicious.

SPEAKER_01 28:51

Yep. You know, Shaggy then runs off. Scooby follows. Of course. Ghost Sword is chasing them before and then it gets stuck in a barrel.

SPEAKER_00 29:01

Oh, darn.

SPEAKER_01 29:02

Liquid is pouring out of the barrel. Yep. Shag and Scoob put some mugs to it. Don't know what they thought it was. Nope. But when they drink it, they find out that it's oil.

SPEAKER_00 29:12

There's your safety concern for the oil.

SPEAKER_01 29:14

Yeah, don't drink oil, you guys.

SPEAKER_00 29:16

Don't confuse oil with whatever pirates would be drinking. Don't confuse it with oil. Alright, guys. Please don't. That's not gonna work the way you think it will. Right.

SPEAKER_01 29:31

With how it was running out of that barrel, like I wouldn't have thought it was anything drinkable.

SPEAKER_00 29:37

I wouldn't think so either.

SPEAKER_01 29:39

You know?

SPEAKER_00 29:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:40

It was all kind of like sludgy looking.

SPEAKER_00 29:43

Yeah. I suppose oil would look like that. It'd be more foamy if it was if it was, you know, like root beer or something. It'd be a lot more foamy. Yeah. You know, if that that definitely didn't happen here. Yeah. So it definitely wasn't anything drinkable. Right. Nothing for us to digest.

SPEAKER_01 30:00

No. Fred and the girls use some makeshift plunger arrows to trap the henchmen? Yeah, trap the henchmen and suspend them from the ceiling.

SPEAKER_00 30:18

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 30:19

How effective that is, I don't know, because we'll see them later trap pile of tires.

SPEAKER_00 30:25

Yep. Right. Unless their weight caused it to go down or something. Right. But that's it.

SPEAKER_01 30:32

Shaggy and Scooby are then confronted by Redbeard. Yep. Shaggy pulls out an egg beater.

SPEAKER_00 30:38

An egg beater.

SPEAKER_01 30:40

Yep. And uses it to tickle the pirate.

SPEAKER_00 30:43

Which apparently he's ticklish in the stomach.

SPEAKER_01 30:46

And then they plan to get away on an automatic pogo stick.

SPEAKER_00 30:50

It's not a pogo stick. It's not? No, it's not. Here's your safety. Here's your second safety card. It's not a pogo stick, it's a jackhammer.

SPEAKER_01 30:59

Oh boy. Well that's definitely a Shaggy is not Jack Hammer certified.

SPEAKER_00 31:06

It's not.

SPEAKER_01 31:07

They kind of go up a wall, onto the ceiling. Yep. They fall down. Uh-huh. Jackhammer lands in Redbeard's pants. Shaggy and Scooby land on top of Redbeard. And they end up going into a pile of tires.

SPEAKER_00 31:27

Well, at least it's a pile of tires. It won't be as painful when they hit the tires.

SPEAKER_01 31:31

Right.

SPEAKER_00 31:34

Well, that's quite an elaborate uh.

SPEAKER_01 31:37

Yeah. Redbeard's captured. Unmask him to find it's CL Magnus.

SPEAKER_00 31:45

What? It's not the butler? No. How is it not the butler? Because Shaggy always thought like the butler always did it. Shaggy, that's racist against butlers.

SPEAKER_01 31:55

They are people too.

SPEAKER_00 31:57

Apparently not to him.

SPEAKER_01 32:00

You know, I'm just glad, you know. That could have been a whole lot worse if it was not a white butler.

SPEAKER_00 32:08

That could have been a lot worse. That could have been bad. Um man.

SPEAKER_01 32:15

You know, turns out that, you know, his shipping business was about to go under. Uh-oh. If he didn't come up with some money. So he used the disguise of Redbeard the Pirate to basically raid his own ships and sell the cargo on the side. Oh, that's definitely a bright idea. What could go wrong with that? Hey. You know, the ghost sword was operated by wires. And eerie, mysterious fog was made by dropping the dry ice off the side of the ship.

SPEAKER_00 32:45

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 32:46

You know. They have Scooby demonstrate that for the law enforcement officials that are there arresting the pirates. Right. And, you know, screen gets covered in a thick white fog. Yep. That Scooby cuts a donut shape out of, and then proceeds to eat it. Ending the episode.

SPEAKER_00 33:04

I don't know how tasty dry ice would be. I don't, but that's probably not. It's a dog and they'll eat practically anything, so you know, I'm not surprised that he likes the dry ice. You know, but I guess that's it is what it is.

SPEAKER_01 33:21

Right. But, you know, that brings us to the end of the episode.

SPEAKER_00 33:26

It does, doesn't it?

SPEAKER_01 33:27

Alright. Well, we have another 80 snacks for the snack total.

SPEAKER_00 33:32

Yes, we do.

SPEAKER_01 33:33

So I believe that now brings us to a total of 141 Scooby snacks.

SPEAKER_00 33:41

Oh, wow.

SPEAKER_01 33:41

One shaggy snack.

SPEAKER_00 33:43

And one and one hero sandwich. Yep.

SPEAKER_01 33:47

So doing the quick math that I can think of. Because this was what, episode 14? Yep. We are at approximately roughly 10 Scooby snacks per episode right now.

SPEAKER_00 34:05

Yeah. Rep. I must have they must have done this before we were throwing in the boxes. They must have done this. They must have done this before the boxes came in because it must have done it when we got the five for episode. That must have been where that started because roughly. Yeah. Because it it doesn't work now.

SPEAKER_01 34:31

Or they are running off of different metrics for what they consider a box of Scooby Snack.

SPEAKER_00 34:36

Right, that could be too. It's just different from what we're using, but yet we don't have an actual Scooby snack box in order to run on. Right. So that's the other problem.

SPEAKER_02 34:47

Right.

SPEAKER_00 34:48

You know. But I don't know how we'd ever get one. You know, but Yeah. I mean, we could make one, but yet that's not gonna be the same effectiveness as actually having having one.

SPEAKER_01 35:03

You know, so but hey, we're we still have 11 episodes left of this series, you know. So we'll see how we'll see how long this goes on for.

SPEAKER_00 35:14

I th I I think it's at least one more time, but you know, we'll we'll see if my expertise is correct.

SPEAKER_01 35:20

And who knows, you know, maybe when we get to the end of Scooby-Doo, where are you, I'll recalculate the numbers, removing whole boxes and see what that number will come out to.

SPEAKER_00 35:32

Right.

SPEAKER_01 35:33

Yeah, I don't know. I will say I don't know if I don't know if we will continue this going into the other shows.

SPEAKER_00 35:42

I don't know. I guess we'll have to see.

SPEAKER_01 35:45

This is getting crazy, you guys.

SPEAKER_00 35:48

I didn't think we would be adding in boxes for the few episodes that we were recording after we talked about the boxes. Yes, right. It's just funny how quickly they all have progressive, like, oh crap, now we have to add boxes into the scenario. Yeah. How's that gonna go?

SPEAKER_01 36:08

Yeah, I didn't think we would be seeing it until at least season two.

SPEAKER_00 36:12

I didn't. Apparently, we were wrong. Apparently, it was a lot sooner than we thought it was. Oh god.

SPEAKER_01 36:19

Alright.

SPEAKER_00 36:19

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 36:20

So that part of the fun responsibilities is done.

SPEAKER_00 36:23

It's done.

SPEAKER_01 36:24

That's always the simplest one.

SPEAKER_00 36:25

Yeah, I suppose.

SPEAKER_01 36:27

Now for the more fun. Alright. Alright, where do we put Redbeard on the Manifest of Monsters? Oh, goodness. Alright, let's see. Alright. Um I guess talking about the Manifest of Monsters, you know. Yep. You know, it's getting pretty long. I don't think we'll keep reading that anymore. I don't think we'll keep reading that anymore. I don't Yeah, so alright. Okay. So where do you think he goes?

SPEAKER_00 36:57

Well I mean top half or bottom half? Probably still, I would say probably still top half. Okay. I mean, I am I wrong in a few. No, I he was an effective one. Right, he was effective, but yeah, the other thing is too, he you all he also changed outfits.

SPEAKER_02 37:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 37:19

I mean, we saw him in a robe, you know, but still he definitely did an outfit change, so that bumps that bumps him up than a lot. Bumps him up further than minor 49er, so he's at least in the top ten.

SPEAKER_01 37:30

In terms of uh in terms of seafaring ghosts, you know better or worse than Captain Cutler.

SPEAKER_00 37:39

Oh, I think he's better than Captain Cutler. Unless I'm wrong. No, I okay.

SPEAKER_01 37:44

You know, like honestly, I granted Captain Cutler didn't have henchmen or anything. No, but but you know, Redbeard did more than his henchmen did.

SPEAKER_00 37:54

He definitely did more than his henchmen did, which we won't be covering the henchmen, so sorry guys, this one will not be having more. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 38:04

Better or worse than Charlie the robot.

SPEAKER_00 38:08

I mean, I wanna say I mean I wanna say he's better, but that's just you know, that's just me. Better or worse than Pietro the Puppet Master. Oh, I mean, that's where it gets even tougher. I I I don't know. What do you what do you what do you think? I mean, I don't know if he is better than the puppet master. I mean it's what I mean it it's up to. He's better than the ghost clown. Well, right.

SPEAKER_01 38:30

He's so you want to put him below Pietro the Puppet Master.

SPEAKER_00 38:36

But above the ghost clown.

SPEAKER_01 38:37

Yeah, so sitting now at number five, we've got Redbeard. Redbeard. I wonder if he's related to Red Herring.

SPEAKER_00 38:44

Oh no, not Red Herring. Maybe he's Red Herring's father.

SPEAKER_01 38:51

Maybe.

SPEAKER_00 38:52

Maybe.

SPEAKER_01 38:54

Alright. And so now that brings us to the Fred Jones failure files. Alright. Where would we put the automatic pogo stick?

SPEAKER_00 39:03

I mean, it is a hilarious one. It does work, but yet it was it's not like it's Is it better than the lawnmower basketball? I want to say it actually is. It's much more entertaining.

SPEAKER_01 39:15

Okay, is it better than the chandelier?

SPEAKER_00 39:17

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 39:18

That used to catch the werewolf.

SPEAKER_00 39:21

Right. I mean, that that I mean, like the higher you go, the more difficult it gets because we have such a higher standing of what the other ones were versus what the higher ones are. So, you know.

SPEAKER_01 39:34

Alright, do we think it's better than special effects? The special effect minds. I don't think that it is.

SPEAKER_00 39:43

I don't think so either. But it probably is, like you said, with how you said it, it probably is better than chandelier. I mean, unless you think differently.

SPEAKER_01 39:53

Like chandelier because that was meant in a way to be a trap. Like Shaggy's intention there was to trap the werewolf.

SPEAKER_00 40:04

Right, but he didn't think of a way out. So that was the other problem.

SPEAKER_01 40:08

The intention of the automatic pogo stick was to get away and just manage. So I think put it below chandelier for a love lawnmower best.

SPEAKER_00 40:20

Yeah, I can I can agree. On a manic pogo stick. But it isn't a pogo stick. It's a but then we can call it a pogo stick.

SPEAKER_01 40:33

In terms of a trap, it was an automatic pogo stick.

SPEAKER_00 40:36

It was pretty, it was pretty effective, actually. So, you know, that's where I'm like, yeah, it's better it's better than the lawnmower. More entertaining than the lawnmower. Yeah. Now they're all bouncing around. They're going up onto the ceiling, then they plop down right under the ghost.

SPEAKER_01 40:55

Alright, so now that brings us to the table of snacks. Oh man, let's see. So, how many Scooby snacks does this episode bring to the table this week?

SPEAKER_00 41:04

I mean, it is a very, very entertaining episode. I mean, I mean, I would say at least four or upper, I mean, middle four, four or middle four. Like either four or four point five, unless you want to meet up in the middle.

SPEAKER_01 41:22

Yeah, we can give it a four.

SPEAKER_00 41:23

Like a four. Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 41:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 41:26

We're giving a lot of these four. I mean, they're not.

SPEAKER_01 41:29

And I don't know if we're being too harsh on okay. No, it's like I don't think we're being too generous. Like I don't think we've like I don't think we've had any terrible episodes.

SPEAKER_00 41:43

That we haven't ranked properly. It's like we've got Tassel was three because it was three.

SPEAKER_01 41:47

Yeah, we've had like average episodes.

SPEAKER_00 41:50

Right.

SPEAKER_01 41:51

I think a lot of the episodes we have have been above average.

SPEAKER_00 41:55

Right.

SPEAKER_01 41:56

And you know, I I could see an argument where some of these probably are like extremely excellent.

SPEAKER_00 42:04

Right.

SPEAKER_01 42:05

But because like there's stuff we know comes later that we just don't have, like we're a little too harsh on them.

SPEAKER_00 42:11

Right. Yeah. More ways than one.

SPEAKER_01 42:14

But no, like, yeah, I think this is a nice above average episode.

SPEAKER_00 42:18

I think so too.

SPEAKER_01 42:19

I don't I don't think there's anything like even with like a musical chasing number or a couple of things.

SPEAKER_00 42:26

We'll get to that later on.

SPEAKER_01 42:28

Yeah, I don't think that I don't think that we really would have bumped this up any higher.

SPEAKER_00 42:32

I don't yeah, I don't think so either.

SPEAKER_01 42:35

So yeah, sitting at a nice solid four for this week.

SPEAKER_00 42:38

Yeah, I definitely agree with that one.

SPEAKER_01 42:41

Alright. That I believe just about wraps up this episode.

SPEAKER_00 42:47

I think you're right on that one.

SPEAKER_01 42:48

Yeah. Nice solid episode.

SPEAKER_00 42:53

That definitely was a solid one. Pretty good.

SPEAKER_01 42:57

So we'll be back next week with Spooky Space Kook.

SPEAKER_00 43:03

And this one is your favorite. It is my favorite. It'll be excited. Exciting to see how this one unfolds. Yes. Yes, it definitely is one of your favorites. It'll be interesting to see how it goes on with this one and see how far this one goes.

SPEAKER_01 43:19

Well, it's it'll be interesting.

SPEAKER_00 43:20

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 43:21

Because in my head right now, uh huh, I already know what I want to say it brings to the snack table.

SPEAKER_00 43:27

Okay. Yeah. Yep.

SPEAKER_01 43:29

So it'll be interesting next week to see if that preconceived notion will still hold up.

SPEAKER_00 43:38

Right. Yep, we'll have to wait and see, I guess.

SPEAKER_01 43:41

Because yeah, it's been, you know, it's been a while since I've watched these episodes. You know.

SPEAKER_00 43:51

I could say the same.

SPEAKER_01 43:53

And that's what makes this great.

SPEAKER_00 43:55

It does, apparently. One watches it more than the other one.

SPEAKER_01 43:59

Well, I it's it's not that I don't watch Scooby outside of this.

SPEAKER_00 44:06

Yeah. That's just what I mean.

SPEAKER_01 44:07

One No, I think, you know, I thought it would be nice to at least have one of us kind of go in almost relatively fresh.

SPEAKER_00 44:17

Well, yeah, I I guess that apparently has to be me. Because apparently it's not you, because you only have it on when you're usually when it's something for your kids to watch, but yet you're not watching it yourself, technically.

SPEAKER_01 44:36

Yep, we'll be back. You know, remember like, subscribe, review, comment, please. Give us feedback, email us Scooby's own podcast at gmail.com. Yep. You know, we'd love to hear from you guys. Definitely would. But until then, just remember, they would have gotten away with it too. If it weren't for those meddling kids.
