¶¶¶
2
00:00:31,399 --> 00:00:34,033
One iddy-biddy
baby step for mankind.
3
00:00:34,035 --> 00:00:37,169
One giant step
for us maggots.
4
00:00:37,171 --> 00:00:38,971
What are you talkin' about?
5
00:00:38,973 --> 00:00:40,773
And what's that
space helmet?
6
00:00:40,775 --> 00:00:43,342
Well, you have to wear one
when you're out in space.
7
00:00:43,344 --> 00:00:45,210
Duh!
8
00:00:45,212 --> 00:00:47,780
I went to talk to
a maggot on Venus.
9
00:00:48,082 --> 00:00:50,816
He imagines he goes places.
10
00:00:50,818 --> 00:00:53,852
This is not my imagination.
And I'll prove it.
11
00:00:53,854 --> 00:00:55,254
I set up a remote camera...
12
00:00:55,256 --> 00:00:57,256
On Venus?
13
00:00:57,258 --> 00:00:59,758
Well, if you want to
talk to a maggot on Venus,
14
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,827
would I set up a
camera on Saturn?
15
00:01:01,829 --> 00:01:05,197
Ugh. Here's a Freaky Story.
16
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:06,298
And then...
17
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:08,167
The Venus maggot!
18
00:01:08,169 --> 00:01:10,502
[SIGH]
Yeah.
19
00:01:13,340 --> 00:01:14,840
This is a true story.
20
00:01:14,842 --> 00:01:16,909
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine,
21
00:01:16,911 --> 00:01:18,811
Special Agent Wolf Muddler and his partner,
22
00:01:18,813 --> 00:01:21,513
Special Agent Deena Skelly.
23
00:01:24,919 --> 00:01:26,518
Muddler and Skelly were called into the office of
24
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,154
Deputy Director Spanner and were given an assignment.
25
00:01:29,156 --> 00:01:31,190
Investigate a forest fire deep in the
26
00:01:31,192 --> 00:01:32,758
cascade mountains.
27
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,893
Objective: uncover the identity of a man
28
00:01:34,895 --> 00:01:37,396
found unconscious at the scene, dangling from a charred
29
00:01:37,398 --> 00:01:40,532
tree, outfitted in full scuba gear.
30
00:01:40,534 --> 00:01:43,802
And there was no body of water for miles around.
31
00:01:45,506 --> 00:01:47,139
Since the case defied explanation,
32
00:01:47,141 --> 00:01:50,309
it fell into the category of the Y-Files.
33
00:01:50,945 --> 00:01:52,377
Muddler and Skelly set off for the mountains,
34
00:01:52,379 --> 00:01:54,179
once again at odds from the outset.
35
00:01:54,181 --> 00:01:56,248
Muddler was ready to accept any weird supernatural
36
00:01:56,250 --> 00:01:57,900
explanation while his partner,
37
00:01:57,901 --> 00:01:59,551
Skelly, was pragmatic and assumed there would be a
38
00:01:59,553 --> 00:02:02,087
sound, scientific solution.
39
00:02:02,423 --> 00:02:04,289
When the man in scuba gear regained consciousness,
40
00:02:04,291 --> 00:02:06,358
he was interrogated by the agents.
41
00:02:06,861 --> 00:02:08,560
He seemed to be suffering from amnesia.
42
00:02:08,562 --> 00:02:10,395
The local Sheriff asserted his authority
43
00:02:10,397 --> 00:02:11,847
and arrested the man.
44
00:02:11,848 --> 00:02:13,298
Charged him with arson, since he was found at the
45
00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:16,235
scene of what had been a large forest fire.
46
00:02:18,339 --> 00:02:20,072
Ollie, the Sheriff's ten year old son,
47
00:02:20,074 --> 00:02:22,407
said he might know where the mystery man came from.
48
00:02:22,409 --> 00:02:24,543
But the Sheriff was too busy to listen...
49
00:02:24,545 --> 00:02:26,111
he was working with the F.B.I.,
50
00:02:26,113 --> 00:02:27,846
an honor not available to many law enforcement
51
00:02:27,848 --> 00:02:29,365
officers.
52
00:02:29,366 --> 00:02:30,883
So the Sheriff, even though his son was with him,
53
00:02:30,885 --> 00:02:32,818
tried to ignore the boy, kind of pretend he wasn't
54
00:02:32,820 --> 00:02:35,420
there, so as not to distract the investigators,
55
00:02:35,422 --> 00:02:37,089
which in this case included him,
56
00:02:37,091 --> 00:02:39,124
from solving the mystery.
57
00:02:39,460 --> 00:02:41,160
Muddler and Skelly began their forensic investigation
58
00:02:41,162 --> 00:02:42,427
of the scene...
59
00:02:42,429 --> 00:02:44,196
in the dark, working with flashlights.
60
00:02:44,198 --> 00:02:46,532
And, as always, there was fog.
61
00:02:47,034 --> 00:02:48,300
They could have gone in daylight,
62
00:02:48,301 --> 00:02:49,567
but Muddler and Skelly like to add a touch of mystery
63
00:02:49,570 --> 00:02:52,304
to every, um, mystery.
64
00:02:52,306 --> 00:02:54,406
And flashlight beams spiking through the night had become
65
00:02:54,408 --> 00:02:56,441
their trademark.
66
00:02:56,577 --> 00:02:58,210
The Sheriff tagged along, not just to be in the
67
00:02:58,212 --> 00:02:59,878
proximity of the big time agents.
68
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,563
He really hoped he could help.
69
00:03:01,564 --> 00:03:03,247
And Ollie, no matter what excuse his dad could make to
70
00:03:03,250 --> 00:03:05,284
have him stay at home, tagged along as well,
71
00:03:05,286 --> 00:03:07,486
just for the fun of it.
72
00:03:08,622 --> 00:03:10,522
The agents found the area to be damp and soggy
73
00:03:10,524 --> 00:03:13,358
and scattered with fragments of Pacific Salmon.
74
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,394
Did the man expect to barbecue the salmon?
75
00:03:15,396 --> 00:03:17,129
Did he get all done up in his scuba gear
76
00:03:17,131 --> 00:03:18,564
for the occasion?
77
00:03:18,566 --> 00:03:21,600
Was he expecting a heavy rain?
78
00:03:21,936 --> 00:03:23,969
Ollie stood near by and, as the agents voiced their
79
00:03:23,971 --> 00:03:25,871
theories, shook his head.
80
00:03:25,873 --> 00:03:27,940
Of course, his dad reminded everyone he was just a kid,
81
00:03:27,942 --> 00:03:30,943
so no one paid any attention.
82
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,112
It was at this point that Agent Muddler sought an
83
00:03:34,114 --> 00:03:36,081
answer to a more immediate question:
84
00:03:36,083 --> 00:03:38,884
How does a guy keep from starving around here?
85
00:03:39,486 --> 00:03:41,253
The Sheriff suggested Ollie take Muddler
86
00:03:41,255 --> 00:03:43,239
into town to see what they could find.
87
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,224
And maybe, Skelly suggested, he could pick up a pizza.
88
00:03:45,226 --> 00:03:46,959
Ollie shook his head and he said,
89
00:03:46,961 --> 00:03:49,528
"The pizza stinks."
90
00:03:49,530 --> 00:03:51,296
His dad dismissed the comment, noting,
91
00:03:51,298 --> 00:03:54,066
"He doesn't know, he's just a kid."
92
00:03:55,202 --> 00:03:56,602
While Muddler and Ollie were gone,
93
00:03:56,604 --> 00:03:58,604
Agent Skelly found the mystery man's wallet.
94
00:03:58,606 --> 00:04:01,273
It seems he was an oceanographer.
95
00:04:01,275 --> 00:04:03,141
If he was he studying the plight of Pacific Salmon,
96
00:04:03,143 --> 00:04:05,110
why was he in the forest?
97
00:04:05,112 --> 00:04:08,981
The mystery was becoming more and more mysterious.
98
00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:11,083
Muddler returned with Ollie and the pizza
99
00:04:11,085 --> 00:04:13,418
which, as Ollie had indicated, stunk.
100
00:04:13,420 --> 00:04:15,020
The kid knew his pizza.
101
00:04:15,022 --> 00:04:17,356
Even if he was "only a kid."
102
00:04:17,591 --> 00:04:19,324
Then Muddler reeled off his theory.
103
00:04:19,326 --> 00:04:21,393
The oceanographer had somehow tied the depletion
104
00:04:21,395 --> 00:04:24,162
of the Pacific Salmon stock to forest fires.
105
00:04:24,164 --> 00:04:26,231
He possibly suspected, Muddler suggested,
106
00:04:26,233 --> 00:04:28,567
that the salmon were being transported to the forest by
107
00:04:28,569 --> 00:04:31,470
aliens in order to develop a salmon hybrid.
108
00:04:31,472 --> 00:04:33,505
A half-salmon, half grizzly bear.
109
00:04:33,507 --> 00:04:35,674
The aliens would end up with a bear who would never go
110
00:04:35,676 --> 00:04:39,044
hungry because he could eat himself.
111
00:04:39,947 --> 00:04:41,280
Ollie listened with great interest.
112
00:04:41,282 --> 00:04:43,682
As most ten year olds, he was fascinated
113
00:04:43,684 --> 00:04:45,451
with science fiction.
114
00:04:45,452 --> 00:04:47,219
Still, when Muddler or Skelly would express one of
115
00:04:47,221 --> 00:04:50,289
their theories, Ollie would shake his head, no.
116
00:04:50,291 --> 00:04:52,724
Skelly had a scientific explanation.
117
00:04:52,993 --> 00:04:54,660
Perhaps there was an underground river,
118
00:04:54,661 --> 00:04:56,328
right under the forest, and the oceanographer got caught
119
00:04:56,330 --> 00:04:58,297
in it while researching his salmon.
120
00:04:58,299 --> 00:05:00,565
Then the forest fire caused the river to boil,
121
00:05:00,567 --> 00:05:02,167
shooting a jet stream - and the diver -
122
00:05:02,169 --> 00:05:03,735
up onto the charred trees.
123
00:05:03,737 --> 00:05:07,472
This theory was punctuated by another head shake from Ollie.
124
00:05:07,641 --> 00:05:09,341
Muddler and Skelly had reached a dead end.
125
00:05:09,343 --> 00:05:11,476
Neither agent could come up with another theory.
126
00:05:11,478 --> 00:05:13,412
As they stared into space despondently,
127
00:05:13,414 --> 00:05:15,113
their eyes fell on Ollie.
128
00:05:15,115 --> 00:05:16,648
Why not ask Ollie?
129
00:05:16,650 --> 00:05:18,250
The kid knew stuff.
130
00:05:18,252 --> 00:05:20,118
He was right about the pizza.
131
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,421
Ollie said he was impressed by their theories,
132
00:05:22,423 --> 00:05:24,156
but what actually happened was,
133
00:05:24,158 --> 00:05:26,091
the water all around them came from one of those
134
00:05:26,093 --> 00:05:28,593
planes that picks up water from the ocean and dumps it
135
00:05:28,595 --> 00:05:30,395
on forest fires.
136
00:05:30,397 --> 00:05:32,364
This time, it picked up the diver,
137
00:05:32,366 --> 00:05:35,033
who was in the ocean, and dumped him on the fire,
138
00:05:35,035 --> 00:05:37,169
along with the water.
139
00:05:38,038 --> 00:05:39,404
This is a true story.
140
00:05:39,406 --> 00:05:41,039
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine,
141
00:05:41,041 --> 00:05:42,708
Special Agent Wolf Muddler, and his partner
142
00:05:42,710 --> 00:05:45,110
Deena Skelly, who returned to headquarters to place the
143
00:05:45,112 --> 00:05:47,145
case in their Y-Files...
144
00:05:47,147 --> 00:05:50,449
as in "Why didn't I think of that?"
145
00:05:50,718 --> 00:05:53,185
Or did you?
146
00:05:55,556 --> 00:05:56,655
Hello.
Venus Maggot.
147
00:05:56,657 --> 00:05:58,056
Can you hear me?
148
00:05:58,058 --> 00:05:59,725
Loud and clear.
149
00:05:59,727 --> 00:06:03,295
I gotta say, you look exactly
like I expected you to look.
150
00:06:03,297 --> 00:06:05,731
All Venus Maggots
don't look like me.
151
00:06:05,733 --> 00:06:07,532
Some are pink, some
are kind of orange,
152
00:06:07,534 --> 00:06:09,167
some are bluish.
153
00:06:09,169 --> 00:06:10,469
Bluish?
154
00:06:10,471 --> 00:06:12,237
Some of my best
friends are bluish.
155
00:06:12,239 --> 00:06:14,740
Tell me, what do you do?
156
00:06:14,742 --> 00:06:16,341
I'm in gromlick school.
157
00:06:16,343 --> 00:06:18,243
You know, studying
to be a gromlick.
158
00:06:18,245 --> 00:06:19,812
Gromlick?
159
00:06:19,813 --> 00:06:21,380
Yeah, gromlick, you
know, they look in maggot's
160
00:06:21,382 --> 00:06:23,281
mouths, look in
maggot's ears.
161
00:06:23,283 --> 00:06:24,616
Play golf every Wednesday...
162
00:06:24,618 --> 00:06:26,718
Doctor!
You're a doctor.
163
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,153
Makes my mother proud.
164
00:06:28,155 --> 00:06:30,722
And I get to meet
nice bluish girls.
165
00:06:31,125 --> 00:06:33,725
Is it time for
another Freaky Story?
166
00:06:36,063 --> 00:06:37,362
This is a true story.
167
00:06:37,363 --> 00:06:38,662
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine...
168
00:06:38,665 --> 00:06:40,082
two of them.
169
00:06:40,083 --> 00:06:41,500
They were really closer than friends.
170
00:06:41,502 --> 00:06:42,667
Barry and Harry.
171
00:06:42,669 --> 00:06:44,269
Identical twins.
172
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:47,606
From the beginning, Barry and Harry were always doing
173
00:06:47,608 --> 00:06:50,409
the "twin thing", pretending to be each other,
174
00:06:50,411 --> 00:06:52,577
especially when things went wrong.
175
00:06:52,579 --> 00:06:54,212
And with these fun-loving twins,
176
00:06:54,214 --> 00:06:56,348
something always did.
177
00:06:56,517 --> 00:06:58,583
A broken window, a flooded basement.
178
00:06:58,585 --> 00:07:01,353
a chocolate-covered cat.
179
00:07:01,355 --> 00:07:03,522
It was hard to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt,
180
00:07:03,524 --> 00:07:05,657
which one was guilty.
181
00:07:05,659 --> 00:07:07,192
By the time they went off to university,
182
00:07:07,194 --> 00:07:09,694
they registered as one student, Barry.
183
00:07:09,696 --> 00:07:13,231
So only one of them had to be in class at any one time.
184
00:07:13,233 --> 00:07:15,734
They were pretty smart, so one being in class only half
185
00:07:15,736 --> 00:07:18,236
the time, while his twin brother was sleeping in,
186
00:07:18,238 --> 00:07:20,205
worked just fine.
187
00:07:20,207 --> 00:07:22,641
Barry was a wiz in English and History.
188
00:07:22,643 --> 00:07:24,876
Harry aced math and science.
189
00:07:24,878 --> 00:07:26,545
Depending on how you look at it,
190
00:07:26,547 --> 00:07:29,181
Barry, or Barry and Harry, was,
191
00:07:29,183 --> 00:07:31,783
or were, phi beta cappa.
192
00:07:31,785 --> 00:07:34,686
And when "Barry" got a part time job at the burger joint, he...
193
00:07:34,688 --> 00:07:37,255
only one of them, I couldn't tell who,
194
00:07:37,257 --> 00:07:39,458
would have to show up at work while the other had the
195
00:07:39,460 --> 00:07:42,160
luxury of sleeping in.
196
00:07:42,329 --> 00:07:44,129
It was in their senior year that Barry --
197
00:07:44,131 --> 00:07:47,599
the actual, real Barry -- fell in love with Carrie,
198
00:07:47,601 --> 00:07:51,770
the loveliest, brightest, wittiest girl he ever met.
199
00:07:52,306 --> 00:07:55,674
And the loveliest, brightest, wittiest girl Harry ever met.
200
00:07:55,676 --> 00:07:58,777
Oh yeah, the twins did their "thing" with Carrie too.
201
00:07:58,779 --> 00:08:02,881
You see, Carrie had what they like to call "eclectic taste".
202
00:08:02,883 --> 00:08:04,683
You know, she liked all sorts of very different
203
00:08:04,685 --> 00:08:06,318
kinds of things.
204
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,153
Carrie loved the ballet.
205
00:08:08,155 --> 00:08:10,155
Barry hated the ballet.
206
00:08:10,157 --> 00:08:12,324
Fortunately, Harry enjoyed it.
207
00:08:12,326 --> 00:08:14,326
Off they would go, Carrie and Harry,
208
00:08:14,328 --> 00:08:17,395
to watch a guy in tights throw some skinny girl around.
209
00:08:17,397 --> 00:08:19,931
Carrie also enjoyed good jazz.
210
00:08:19,933 --> 00:08:23,502
And Harry, well, he didn't dig it.
211
00:08:23,504 --> 00:08:25,837
Barry, on the other hand, was totally cool.
212
00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:28,607
So Barry and Carrie spent many a night in some club
213
00:08:28,609 --> 00:08:30,775
listening to the mellow strains of a
214
00:08:30,777 --> 00:08:32,711
moody saxophone.
215
00:08:32,713 --> 00:08:34,946
On Hockey Night, Carrie would be in front of the TV
216
00:08:34,948 --> 00:08:36,415
with Harry.
217
00:08:36,416 --> 00:08:37,883
World Series time, it was Carrie and Barry
218
00:08:37,885 --> 00:08:39,284
watching the games.
219
00:08:39,286 --> 00:08:40,852
At the gym, it was Carrie and Harry.
220
00:08:40,854 --> 00:08:42,888
At a poetry reading, Carrie and Barry.
221
00:08:42,890 --> 00:08:45,657
Although Carrie didn't know she was dating two guys,
222
00:08:45,659 --> 00:08:47,926
it worked out pretty well for her too.
223
00:08:47,928 --> 00:08:51,396
Whatever she liked to do-- Carrie's "boyfriend",
224
00:08:51,398 --> 00:08:54,299
one of them, would like it too.
225
00:08:54,301 --> 00:08:56,268
Carrie was sure she would never find anyone
226
00:08:56,270 --> 00:08:57,802
with such similar taste.
227
00:08:57,804 --> 00:09:00,839
So when Barry (I think it was actually Barry)
228
00:09:00,841 --> 00:09:04,709
asked her to marry him, she said, "Yes."
229
00:09:04,711 --> 00:09:06,728
Barry and Harry were thrilled.
230
00:09:06,729 --> 00:09:08,746
Not only because they would have such a wonderful wife,
231
00:09:08,749 --> 00:09:11,249
but with the system they had going they could be more
232
00:09:11,251 --> 00:09:13,818
attentive than most husbands and still spend lots of time
233
00:09:13,820 --> 00:09:15,787
"out with the boys."
234
00:09:16,323 --> 00:09:18,523
Now, watching all this happening -- oh yes,
235
00:09:18,525 --> 00:09:21,459
I watched it all, very closely indeed --
236
00:09:21,461 --> 00:09:24,596
I have to say, I thought there was something wrong with it.
237
00:09:24,598 --> 00:09:27,465
I don't know, I couldn't see such a nice girl like Carrie
238
00:09:27,467 --> 00:09:29,568
being fooled like that.
239
00:09:29,570 --> 00:09:31,570
But things have a way of working out.
240
00:09:31,572 --> 00:09:34,339
You see, by the time the wedding day rolled around,
241
00:09:34,341 --> 00:09:37,842
Barry and Harry had their "twin thing" worked out perfectly.
242
00:09:37,844 --> 00:09:39,511
So perfectly, they...
243
00:09:39,513 --> 00:09:41,680
one of them, could get through a day of quality
244
00:09:41,682 --> 00:09:43,848
time together with Carrie at the gym,
245
00:09:43,850 --> 00:09:46,985
a picnic, a foreign film and a midnight snack...
246
00:09:46,987 --> 00:09:50,722
while spending the same day alone at the race track,
247
00:09:50,724 --> 00:09:53,291
a football game and a wrestling match.
248
00:09:53,293 --> 00:09:55,560
Barry and Harry got so good at it,
249
00:09:55,562 --> 00:09:56,962
they could handle their schedules
250
00:09:56,964 --> 00:09:58,930
without even thinking.
251
00:09:58,932 --> 00:10:01,299
Eveything became instinctive.
252
00:10:01,301 --> 00:10:04,002
But sometimes when you stop thinking,
253
00:10:04,004 --> 00:10:06,938
your instinct can get you in trouble.
254
00:10:06,940 --> 00:10:08,440
As did Barry's.
255
00:10:08,442 --> 00:10:10,942
Oh yeah, AND Harry's instinct too.
256
00:10:10,944 --> 00:10:15,647
They were so "intense" they fouled up in the same way.
257
00:10:16,383 --> 00:10:18,483
Barry thought Harry would be the groom at the wedding.
258
00:10:18,485 --> 00:10:20,752
Harry thought Barry would be the groom.
259
00:10:20,754 --> 00:10:23,288
So Barry was at a baseball game while Harry
260
00:10:23,290 --> 00:10:24,823
was at the art museum...
261
00:10:24,825 --> 00:10:26,925
while Carrie was at the church.
262
00:10:26,927 --> 00:10:28,793
Alone.
263
00:10:29,062 --> 00:10:31,029
From the museum, Harry called Barry to find out how
264
00:10:31,031 --> 00:10:32,864
the wedding was going.
265
00:10:34,368 --> 00:10:36,668
"Wedding??? Aren't YOU at the wedding???"
266
00:10:36,670 --> 00:10:38,570
"YIKES!!!"
267
00:10:39,606 --> 00:10:40,905
Both of them made a mad dash for the church.
268
00:10:40,907 --> 00:10:42,374
Poor Carrie, they thought.
269
00:10:42,376 --> 00:10:44,609
How embarrassing to be left at the altar.
270
00:10:44,611 --> 00:10:47,512
But when Berry and Harry, both panicked [GASP]
271
00:10:47,514 --> 00:10:48,847
and out of breath [GASP]
272
00:10:48,849 --> 00:10:50,482
finally showed up [GASP]
273
00:10:50,484 --> 00:10:52,617
there was Carrie, leaving the church,
274
00:10:52,619 --> 00:10:55,854
on the arm of her new husband, Larry...
275
00:10:55,856 --> 00:10:57,856
who looked EXACTLY like Barry...
276
00:10:57,858 --> 00:11:00,025
or Harry, if you like.
277
00:11:00,027 --> 00:11:01,393
This was a true story.
278
00:11:01,394 --> 00:11:02,760
Happened to a friend of a friend of mine.
279
00:11:02,763 --> 00:11:05,530
Actually two friends, Barry and Harry.
280
00:11:05,532 --> 00:11:07,499
Okay, they were closer than friends.
281
00:11:07,501 --> 00:11:09,401
They were my brothers.
282
00:11:09,403 --> 00:11:11,102
That's right, "brothers."
283
00:11:11,104 --> 00:11:13,505
You see Barry, Harry, and me,
284
00:11:13,507 --> 00:11:15,340
Larry, we were triplets...
285
00:11:15,342 --> 00:11:18,443
and I was the one separated at birth.
286
00:11:18,979 --> 00:11:20,679
Are you still there?
287
00:11:20,681 --> 00:11:22,514
Well, until my
saucer comes along.
288
00:11:22,516 --> 00:11:23,948
I'm going to visit
my friend on Mars.
289
00:11:23,950 --> 00:11:26,518
Ain't that the red planet?
290
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:27,852
Well, you know
what makes it red?
291
00:11:29,556 --> 00:11:33,658
Tell our audience, why
is the planet Mars red?
292
00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:35,560
Ketchup.
293
00:11:35,562 --> 00:11:36,828
Ketchup?
294
00:11:36,830 --> 00:11:38,963
Are you sure you're
a maggot from Venus?
295
00:11:38,965 --> 00:11:40,065
What do I look like?
296
00:11:40,067 --> 00:11:42,667
You look my idiot sidekick.
297
00:11:42,669 --> 00:11:44,536
Hey!
Who's an idiot?
298
00:11:44,538 --> 00:11:45,904
You are.
299
00:11:45,906 --> 00:11:47,672
Now get yourself back here.
300
00:11:47,674 --> 00:11:50,008
Beam me to the set, Scottie.
301
00:11:55,849 --> 00:12:00,118
We'll figure this out right
after our next Freaky Story.
302
00:12:01,888 --> 00:12:03,788
This is a true story.
303
00:12:03,790 --> 00:12:05,924
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine,
304
00:12:05,926 --> 00:12:07,759
a guy in high school named Daryl,
305
00:12:07,761 --> 00:12:09,094
a nice enough guy.
306
00:12:09,096 --> 00:12:10,995
But he had a few strikes against him.
307
00:12:10,997 --> 00:12:14,699
First of all he was cheap, second he wore glasses
308
00:12:14,701 --> 00:12:17,469
thicker than the lens of the Hubble telescope,
309
00:12:17,471 --> 00:12:20,105
and worst of all, he was downright vain!
310
00:12:20,107 --> 00:12:22,707
Which is hard to do when you look geeky.
311
00:12:22,709 --> 00:12:24,476
But when Daryl looked in the mirror,
312
00:12:24,478 --> 00:12:27,112
with his inch-thick glasses on - which had to be on
313
00:12:27,114 --> 00:12:30,949
so he could see himself - what Daryl saw was a hunk.
314
00:12:30,951 --> 00:12:35,820
On weekends Daryl tried his best to be a "chick magnet".
315
00:12:36,590 --> 00:12:38,690
One weekend while at the amusement park,
316
00:12:38,692 --> 00:12:41,493
Daryl bumped into a girl named Brittany.
317
00:12:41,495 --> 00:12:43,495
Literally, bumped into her.
318
00:12:43,497 --> 00:12:45,864
His glasses were gone, as was his pocket protector,
319
00:12:45,866 --> 00:12:47,732
and even his "Bill Gates" hairdo.
320
00:12:47,734 --> 00:12:49,701
Brittany asked him where his glasses were.
321
00:12:49,703 --> 00:12:52,804
Fighting back a squint, he said he really didn't
322
00:12:52,806 --> 00:12:54,706
need glasses at all.
323
00:12:54,708 --> 00:12:57,809
But Daryl still very much needed his specs,
324
00:12:57,811 --> 00:12:59,744
but he figured his chances of meeting girls were better
325
00:12:59,746 --> 00:13:01,502
without them.
326
00:13:01,503 --> 00:13:03,259
Whenever Brittany wasn't looking,
327
00:13:03,260 --> 00:13:05,016
he'd sneak his glasses on to get his bearings.
328
00:13:05,018 --> 00:13:07,485
Just as quick, he'd whip them off before
329
00:13:07,487 --> 00:13:10,722
she could catch him.
330
00:13:10,723 --> 00:13:13,958
Glasses or no glasses, Daryl's true wimpiness came out.
331
00:13:14,628 --> 00:13:15,927
They rode the kiddy merry-go-round
332
00:13:15,929 --> 00:13:17,996
and Daryl screamed.
333
00:13:17,998 --> 00:13:19,998
They rode the little rowboats,
334
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,766
and Daryl screamed.
335
00:13:21,768 --> 00:13:23,168
They rode the ponies, and...
336
00:13:23,170 --> 00:13:26,604
yes Daryl screamed.
337
00:13:26,740 --> 00:13:28,106
Bored with all the kiddy rides,
338
00:13:28,108 --> 00:13:29,974
Brittany suggested they go on a ride which actually
339
00:13:29,976 --> 00:13:31,976
warranted some screams.
340
00:13:31,978 --> 00:13:34,245
The roller coaster.
341
00:13:34,247 --> 00:13:36,548
Daryl was dead set against it,
342
00:13:36,549 --> 00:13:38,850
especially after sneaking a peak at it with his glasses on.
343
00:13:38,852 --> 00:13:42,787
But all Brittany had to do was question his masculinity
344
00:13:42,789 --> 00:13:45,757
and "Mr. Macho" caved in.
345
00:13:45,759 --> 00:13:47,792
They got on the coaster.
346
00:13:47,794 --> 00:13:49,027
From the moment they boarded,
347
00:13:49,029 --> 00:13:50,261
before they even moved an inch,
348
00:13:50,263 --> 00:13:52,080
Daryl screamed.
349
00:13:52,081 --> 00:13:53,898
And when they started, he shrieked and screeched
350
00:13:53,900 --> 00:13:55,533
some more.
351
00:13:55,534 --> 00:13:57,167
And then when they were at the very top of the tallest
352
00:13:57,170 --> 00:13:59,971
peak of the ride, Brittany said,
353
00:13:59,973 --> 00:14:02,941
"hey look, you can see for miles up here!"
354
00:14:02,943 --> 00:14:05,243
That got Daryl's attention.
355
00:14:05,245 --> 00:14:07,178
He stopped screaming for a second,
356
00:14:07,180 --> 00:14:11,816
whipped on his specs and took a good long look.
357
00:14:12,686 --> 00:14:15,687
While he was gazing, the coaster wizzed down the
358
00:14:15,689 --> 00:14:18,089
steep drop, It dove with such speed,
359
00:14:18,091 --> 00:14:20,225
the wind whipped off Daryl's glasses.
360
00:14:20,227 --> 00:14:23,061
They just flew away.
361
00:14:23,196 --> 00:14:25,697
After the ride Daryl was wobbling around
362
00:14:25,699 --> 00:14:28,199
in a pool of tears and slobber.
363
00:14:28,201 --> 00:14:30,635
Brittany finally had her fill of Daryl ...
364
00:14:30,637 --> 00:14:32,103
and she split.
365
00:14:32,105 --> 00:14:35,006
Daryl was completely dejected.
366
00:14:35,008 --> 00:14:37,542
Without his glasses he couldn't even glance in a
367
00:14:37,544 --> 00:14:39,644
shop window and imagine his reflection
368
00:14:39,646 --> 00:14:41,646
was not a wimpy nerd.
369
00:14:41,648 --> 00:14:44,949
One of the midway "carnys" saw Daryl feeling his way
370
00:14:44,951 --> 00:14:46,985
around and felt sorry for him.
371
00:14:47,988 --> 00:14:49,787
He knew a guy who couldn't see,
372
00:14:49,789 --> 00:14:52,257
couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with a baseball.
373
00:14:52,259 --> 00:14:55,760
So he offered Daryl three throws for free to knock
374
00:14:55,762 --> 00:14:57,328
over the three milk bottles.
375
00:14:57,330 --> 00:14:59,864
I guess luck finally found Daryl.
376
00:14:59,866 --> 00:15:02,700
Daryl obliterated every one of those milk bottles!
377
00:15:02,702 --> 00:15:05,236
The carny couldn't believe it and reluctantly
378
00:15:05,238 --> 00:15:10,575
handed over that week's prize: one real, live turtle.
379
00:15:11,645 --> 00:15:13,978
The overjoyed and highly nearsighted Daryl grabbed
380
00:15:13,980 --> 00:15:16,681
the prize without even realizing what it was and
381
00:15:16,683 --> 00:15:18,316
ran off before the carny could tell him
382
00:15:18,318 --> 00:15:20,452
how to take care of it!
383
00:15:20,453 --> 00:15:22,587
Two weeks later, Daryl was at the amusement park again,
384
00:15:22,589 --> 00:15:25,590
and for a second time, he bumped into Brittany.
385
00:15:25,592 --> 00:15:28,059
Only this time he could see.
386
00:15:28,061 --> 00:15:31,763
He had a brand new pair of designer glasses.
387
00:15:32,232 --> 00:15:33,898
Remembering the embarrassment of the last
388
00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:35,667
time she tried to give him the brush off,
389
00:15:35,669 --> 00:15:37,769
they were both a bit uncomfortable.
390
00:15:37,771 --> 00:15:40,371
But Daryl assured Brittany that he would keep his
391
00:15:40,373 --> 00:15:42,907
glasses on, and said that he was going to
392
00:15:42,909 --> 00:15:45,343
"treat her to a free lunch".
393
00:15:45,345 --> 00:15:49,314
Well Brittany was hungry and Daryl was so pitiful.
394
00:15:49,316 --> 00:15:51,249
w\Why not?
395
00:15:51,251 --> 00:15:54,085
For once Daryl was being generous!
396
00:15:54,087 --> 00:15:56,354
Well, kinda.
397
00:15:56,356 --> 00:15:59,724
First he hurried back to the same throwing game.
398
00:15:59,893 --> 00:16:01,793
Assuming that his lack of vision was the trick
399
00:16:01,795 --> 00:16:04,128
last time, Daryl removed his glasses.
400
00:16:04,130 --> 00:16:07,899
He wound up and sure enough, threw three perfect pitches
401
00:16:07,901 --> 00:16:10,368
knocking off the milk bottles, a second time!
402
00:16:10,370 --> 00:16:12,837
Brittany was impressed.
403
00:16:12,839 --> 00:16:16,174
Daryl slipped his glasses back on and beamed.
404
00:16:16,176 --> 00:16:18,142
The Carny begrudgingly handed him
405
00:16:18,144 --> 00:16:20,144
a stuffed teddy bear.
406
00:16:20,146 --> 00:16:22,981
Daryl looked very disappointed and blurted out
407
00:16:22,983 --> 00:16:26,184
that he wanted the same prize he won the week before
408
00:16:26,186 --> 00:16:31,923
a delicious chicken sandwich on a crusty kaiser roll!
409
00:16:32,959 --> 00:16:34,859
This is a true story.
410
00:16:34,861 --> 00:16:37,228
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine, Daryl.
411
00:16:37,230 --> 00:16:39,831
He's not so vain about his glasses now,
412
00:16:39,833 --> 00:16:42,367
he wears them all the time.
413
00:16:42,369 --> 00:16:44,435
Even when he sleeps.
414
00:16:45,338 --> 00:16:47,672
No, that was
you on the monitor.
415
00:16:47,674 --> 00:16:49,941
Can't be, because I'm me.
416
00:16:49,943 --> 00:16:53,745
Will you stop tryin'
to fool the audience.
417
00:16:54,214 --> 00:16:57,915
Hey, Maurice, next time bring
me a pastrami sandwich.
418
00:16:57,917 --> 00:17:00,151
How about
another Freaky Story?
419
00:17:01,955 --> 00:17:03,421
This is a true story.
420
00:17:03,423 --> 00:17:05,456
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine,
421
00:17:05,458 --> 00:17:08,359
The Amazing Miranda, back when she was fifteen.
422
00:17:08,361 --> 00:17:10,895
That's what Miranda called herself when she put on her
423
00:17:10,897 --> 00:17:13,831
tuxedo and top hat to do her magic act for little kids'
424
00:17:13,833 --> 00:17:15,800
birthday parties.
425
00:17:15,802 --> 00:17:19,303
And, uh, truth is, she was pretty amazing.
426
00:17:19,305 --> 00:17:21,706
Regular magician stuff.
427
00:17:21,708 --> 00:17:24,842
But she did it pretty good.
428
00:17:24,844 --> 00:17:26,277
Every kid in the neighborhood wanted
429
00:17:26,279 --> 00:17:31,115
The Amazing Miranda to perform at their party.
430
00:17:31,718 --> 00:17:33,217
At one nine-year-old's birthday party,
431
00:17:33,219 --> 00:17:36,254
Miranda was putting on a spectacular show.
432
00:17:36,256 --> 00:17:38,389
The kids were going wild.
433
00:17:38,391 --> 00:17:40,758
After the party, Baxter, one of the kids there,
434
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,161
told Miranda that he thought she was the most amazing
435
00:17:43,163 --> 00:17:45,730
magician he had ever seen...
436
00:17:45,732 --> 00:17:47,432
which Miranda, like any magician,
437
00:17:47,434 --> 00:17:49,100
liked to hear.
438
00:17:49,102 --> 00:17:51,102
Besides, Baxter, with his bright orange hair,
439
00:17:51,104 --> 00:17:54,772
was so sweet, flashing a big toothy smile.
440
00:17:54,774 --> 00:17:57,008
And to make it all so much sweeter,
441
00:17:57,010 --> 00:17:59,110
Baxter asked for Miranda's autograph.
442
00:17:59,112 --> 00:18:02,113
She thought that was so cool
443
00:18:02,115 --> 00:18:04,482
to actually have like a fan club.
444
00:18:04,484 --> 00:18:07,251
Okay, a fan club of one.
445
00:18:07,253 --> 00:18:09,921
So Baxter begged Miranda to tell him how she did
446
00:18:09,923 --> 00:18:11,956
the pulling a rabbit from her hat trick,
447
00:18:11,958 --> 00:18:14,358
Miranda, who thought Baxter was the cutest little thing,
448
00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:16,828
couldn't resist.
449
00:18:16,830 --> 00:18:18,830
She showed him the false bottom of her top hat,
450
00:18:18,832 --> 00:18:20,765
where she hid the rabbit.
451
00:18:20,767 --> 00:18:23,301
Miranda would soon learn what every magician knows:
452
00:18:23,303 --> 00:18:25,303
no matter how cute your big fan is,
453
00:18:25,305 --> 00:18:30,007
never, never-ever tell anybody how a trick is done.
454
00:18:30,844 --> 00:18:33,444
At the very next party, Baxter was there.
455
00:18:33,446 --> 00:18:35,980
He got up, just when Miranda was about to pull the rabbit
456
00:18:35,982 --> 00:18:38,850
from her hat and he just blurted it all out.
457
00:18:38,852 --> 00:18:41,352
You know, about the false bottom of her top hat.
458
00:18:41,354 --> 00:18:43,154
You see, behind the freckles,
459
00:18:43,156 --> 00:18:46,023
Baxter was a nasty, jealous brat.
460
00:18:47,427 --> 00:18:50,461
Still, with his big smile and his big eyes and his
461
00:18:50,463 --> 00:18:52,163
totally innocent kind of look,
462
00:18:52,165 --> 00:18:55,266
he was able to get Miranda again.
463
00:18:55,268 --> 00:18:57,969
Baxter said he was sorry.
464
00:18:57,971 --> 00:18:59,504
That little redhead could make himself look all
465
00:18:59,506 --> 00:19:01,906
ashamed, so when he apologized to Miranda,
466
00:19:01,908 --> 00:19:03,407
she kind of melted.
467
00:19:03,409 --> 00:19:05,443
And he said he didn't know what came over him and he'd
468
00:19:05,445 --> 00:19:08,346
never do anything like that again.
469
00:19:08,348 --> 00:19:11,382
And then he had the nerve to ask Miranda
470
00:19:11,384 --> 00:19:14,118
to show him how she did the Chinese ring trick.
471
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:16,120
Can you imagine?
472
00:19:16,122 --> 00:19:18,489
Miranda may have been amazing sometimes,
473
00:19:18,491 --> 00:19:20,324
but she was also not very bright...
474
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:22,460
sometimes.
475
00:19:22,461 --> 00:19:24,595
She actually showed Baxter the secret separation in one
476
00:19:24,597 --> 00:19:26,864
of the rings and how she kept her thumb over it to
477
00:19:26,866 --> 00:19:30,835
hide it while she slipped the other rings through.
478
00:19:30,837 --> 00:19:32,603
And wouldn't you know it, her next party was for
479
00:19:32,605 --> 00:19:33,604
nine year olds.
480
00:19:33,606 --> 00:19:35,106
And who was there?
481
00:19:35,108 --> 00:19:37,509
Your guessed it.
482
00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:39,911
Nasty little, freckle-faced, red-headed Baxter,
483
00:19:39,913 --> 00:19:42,914
flashing his big toothy fake smile and batting his
484
00:19:42,916 --> 00:19:46,284
big innocent-looking eyes.
485
00:19:46,486 --> 00:19:48,419
He stood right up and told all the kids how
486
00:19:48,421 --> 00:19:50,087
Miranda did the ring trick.
487
00:19:50,089 --> 00:19:53,124
And the kids, well they got a little less amazed
488
00:19:53,126 --> 00:19:56,627
with Miranda's magic powers.
489
00:19:56,629 --> 00:19:58,496
Then, if you can believe it,
490
00:19:58,498 --> 00:20:02,266
Baxter apologized to Miranda... again.
491
00:20:02,268 --> 00:20:05,336
And he swore he wouldn't do it again... again.
492
00:20:05,338 --> 00:20:07,038
And what did Miranda do?
493
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:08,639
She forgave him.
494
00:20:08,641 --> 00:20:13,277
That's when Baxter went a little too far.
495
00:20:14,013 --> 00:20:15,546
Miranda did this trick where she put a bird in a
496
00:20:15,548 --> 00:20:18,382
box, made some kind of red puff of smoke
497
00:20:18,384 --> 00:20:20,184
and the bird would disappear.
498
00:20:20,186 --> 00:20:22,887
It was a weird-looking bird, black feathers and a very
499
00:20:22,889 --> 00:20:24,388
long beak.
500
00:20:24,390 --> 00:20:26,924
Sort of like Larry Jacobs who used to live around here.
501
00:20:26,926 --> 00:20:29,961
And good riddance, since all Larry did was annoy Miranda.
502
00:20:29,963 --> 00:20:32,230
Anyway, no big surprise at this point,
503
00:20:32,232 --> 00:20:35,533
Baxter asked Miranda how she did the disappearing bird trick.
504
00:20:35,535 --> 00:20:37,969
Without the slightest bit of hesitation,
505
00:20:37,971 --> 00:20:40,438
she told him that there's this red button on the back
506
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,440
of the box.
507
00:20:42,441 --> 00:20:44,441
And when you push it, you can see how the fake walls
508
00:20:44,444 --> 00:20:46,444
flip in to hide the bird.
509
00:20:46,446 --> 00:20:48,946
"So whatever you do," she warned Baxter,
510
00:20:48,948 --> 00:20:51,415
"Don't touch that button."
511
00:20:52,418 --> 00:20:53,968
Next party...
512
00:20:53,969 --> 00:20:55,519
everything went pretty much the same as it went all the
513
00:20:55,521 --> 00:20:57,421
other times Miranda did her act.
514
00:20:57,423 --> 00:21:00,024
Only this time, when Baxter jumped up to say,
515
00:21:00,026 --> 00:21:02,426
"I know how she makes the bird disappear,
516
00:21:02,428 --> 00:21:05,429
Miranda didn't seem too upset.
517
00:21:05,431 --> 00:21:08,165
Baxter ran up to the box with the weird bird in it...
518
00:21:08,167 --> 00:21:10,334
and he pushed the red button.
519
00:21:10,336 --> 00:21:12,203
And POOF!
520
00:21:12,205 --> 00:21:15,139
A puff of smoke. Baxter was gone.
521
00:21:15,141 --> 00:21:17,208
Disappeared.
522
00:21:17,209 --> 00:21:19,276
The kids applauded and hooted and hollered.
523
00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:20,645
It was a great trick.
524
00:21:20,647 --> 00:21:24,215
Miranda was truly amazing.
525
00:21:25,184 --> 00:21:26,951
This is a true story.
526
00:21:26,952 --> 00:21:28,719
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine,
527
00:21:28,721 --> 00:21:31,489
The Amazing Miranda, who I found out later spends most
528
00:21:31,491 --> 00:21:34,258
nights in her basement, over a bubbling cauldron mixing
529
00:21:34,260 --> 00:21:37,528
spirit plasma with eye of newt and wing of bat,
530
00:21:37,530 --> 00:21:40,031
cooking up a brew to feed her new bird...
531
00:21:40,033 --> 00:21:42,133
The one with the red hair and freckles
532
00:21:42,135 --> 00:21:44,201
and a big toothy smile.
533
00:21:45,471 --> 00:21:46,671
I guess you were right.
534
00:21:46,673 --> 00:21:49,006
Mars is the red planet.
535
00:21:49,008 --> 00:21:51,075
Oh, I'm not on Mars,
I'm in another diner,
536
00:21:51,077 --> 00:21:52,510
under the heat lamp.
537
00:21:52,512 --> 00:21:53,978
YIKES!!!
538
00:21:54,180 --> 00:21:56,514
[LAUGH]
539
00:21:56,649 --> 00:21:59,317
