Brother Dana brother, mine delivers you best. Worst case scenario podcast.
Speaker 1:I fucked it up pretty good. You're trying to Frankenstein it. Yeah, it's a lie.
Speaker 2:I just felt so bad about this little ass bug that was like the size of a mosquito.
Speaker 1:You know, I do have to say I feel you because I feel bad if I cause like death when it's unnecessary. Yeah exactly Like. That's the problem I see with like bugs or anything winged, and you know what, speaking of winged things, You're a fucking wizard.
Speaker 2:I'm a wizard, Harry. God damn Like little winged things. I couldn't even tell what you're saying. Little winged things that fly around that that are pesky, and you want to like, take a fly swatter to. Yeah, ferries, ferries, get a fucking electric fly swatter for him. Do you believe in Ferries? I do, i do believe in Ferries, i do.
Speaker 1:Wow, that's motivational. Some fairy just got its wings.
Speaker 2:Yeah, i'm not special, it's kind of funny.
Speaker 1:It's funny because Ferries in the Irish folklore actually didn't even have wings.
Speaker 2:So they were like little goblins.
Speaker 1:No, they just weren't like Tinkerbell. So, like you know, tinkerbell and Peter Pan, stinkerbell Yeah, like that's a new, that's a 19th century thing, like the, the Ferries that belong to the Irish mythology, those things don't have wings and they are small, but they're fucking ugly. What makes you say that?
Speaker 2:I don't know, because they don't have wings.
Speaker 1:Wow, If you don't have wings, you're fucking ugly. Dana 2023. Why do you always have to quote me like that? Because you sometimes you say gold and I just got to immortalize it, Like like Ferries.
Speaker 2:Ferries don't age. They're like, they're in between, like people and Demi, like Demigods and Gods Like they, they, they're, like, i feel like they're in between worlds, like they're paranormal.
Speaker 1:I know it's man, because what you just said, there's actually, there's actually a belief.
Speaker 2:Am I jumping ahead?
Speaker 1:Well there's. It's interesting. You say Demigods because there's a belief that they are actually like a type of Demigod that passes in between our world and other worlds through like little logs and little bushes and little rings of mushrooms, little logs, that's all I got.
Speaker 2:They pass through our world in little shits. That's what's happening.
Speaker 1:No, they're supposed to live like underground, in tunnels, and they can travel like to different fairy villages.
Speaker 2:In the dirt. They travel around in the mountains. Well, they're supposed to be marked by like Hawthorne trees or lone bushes or They live in mounds of earth and like travel through little tunnels that they make because they're like a bunch of Elon Musk fairies.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and just to be clear, the the name of them. I'm going to butcher this. So they're supposed to be the Twatha de Danan, and they go back thousands of years actually, and it's translated as tribe of Danny Emotip.
Speaker 2:Sounds like, doesn't it sound like Egyptian almost?
Speaker 1:It does.
Speaker 2:It sounds like you're starting to say a curse and the fucking mommy's gonna come back if you finish it. Don't say it please I will they travel in mounds and?
Speaker 1:They get a level in mounds.
Speaker 2:They're making their way downtown, faces past in their homebound in the mounds, wow, no, but they're usually, i think. I believe, according to my research, that they have a ruler, that which is usually a king or a queen, a King or queen fairy like a little small, tiny one, a little crown, little small Hitler that controls the fairies. Tells them what to do.
Speaker 1:Yeah, sometimes he causes world wars and stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like this little fairy town needs some extra, extra pixie dust. Go spread some of that shit.
Speaker 1:Tinkerbell, stinkerbell an epidemic of pixie dust guys. We got to handle this, but another another name for them is the city he, which is the Irish fairy folk, and It's. It's actually like people believe in this.
Speaker 2:You say that like their Larpers well.
Speaker 1:Well, it's something people like used to and, i think, still to this day believe in these little people and they're supposed to be Secretive and they're called little people, capital L, capital P, like the little people, the little people.
Speaker 2:Yeah, i I believe what you're saying. Yeah, what I'm understanding of what you're saying is that people used to believe, and still believe in fairies.
Speaker 1:Okay, you do right Oh.
Speaker 2:Continue that bit. Well, i Maybe less people believe in them these days, but back in the day, which is probably 200 plus years ago, especially in Ireland, a lot of people I would say more it was more common for you to believe in fairies Aka little people than it was not to right.
Speaker 1:but something to be clear is is these people, in this time They didn't believe in, like Tinkerbell looking bullshit?
Speaker 2:They actually believe Walt Disney.
Speaker 1:They actually believe that these little people were to blame for anything they couldn't explain, and, and, and that fairies like to be left alone and it was like considered bad luck to disturb them.
Speaker 2:That's why it would be awesome to be a thief back then, because you could steal a bunch of shit and say the fairies did it. I saw a fairy. Steal that. I think I saw a fairy.
Speaker 1:It was going up to your window. It's stolen.
Speaker 2:It stole his old car. I drove it away.
Speaker 1:I saw it a little guy. He got behind the wheel, he knew how to drive a manual. He was a drunk but he stole it anyway.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like I could see a lot of mischief being blamed on fairies and people taking advantage of the whole lower thing going on. Like people who know that, the Like maybe they feel like they're gonna be cursed If they're saying the fairies are doing it but, they're using it to their advantage to get away with a bunch of shit, like think of a thief stealing a bunch of people's property and possessions and Just blame it on on fairies Yeah or it's kind of like a cop out, like.
Speaker 1:I don't know how that works. I don't know how that happened. Fairies, it's like the alien like, but it back in the day It was like an Irish dude holding a potato and he was like fairies.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like a potato fan, The fairies stole all yeah, yeah, you know maybe. Yeah, that's a deep dive right there. We'll have to get into that sometime.
Speaker 1:It is interesting because fairies there's not just one kind in Irish mythology, there's actually a lot of different kinds, and One that most people don't know is technically a fairy that people have heard of is a banshee.
Speaker 2:Oh my god, you know what?
Speaker 1:a banshee is.
Speaker 2:Off the top of my head. I just picture an old wench just screaming in the dark night.
Speaker 1:Whoa, that's actually pretty accurate.
Speaker 2:So they're known as the.
Speaker 1:Bean City. I Just think of a giant city with all of mrV.
Speaker 2:But the beans.
Speaker 1:we won't go back Oh wait, it's called the bean city, like Sidee he bean, as in mr Bean.
Speaker 2:Oh, he bean said he S I D.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, sorry for the misleading there I just picked your mr Bean with wings now. Yeah, so, and it means a woman of the fairy and the banshee is supposed to be like a messenger of death. So, according to the legend, she would appear to like a certain Irish family, or members of them, and it would warn them of a Of a coming death, so shit.
Speaker 1:The banshee was basically like a bad omen, right, which is interesting because when we were in Ireland We stayed with this guy named Larry and his wife Mary, larry and Mary and he told us what a good couple of people there.
Speaker 2:There's some good lads They are very good, and they got a precious dog named Coco. Isn't she lovely. She's lovely.
Speaker 1:You guys don't know what we're talking about, but uh, what's interesting is he saw a woman in white a little bit before his dad died right.
Speaker 2:He didn't call it a banshee, but that must have been what he was getting at well, i feel like That's like a separate lore thing, like the lady in white is Like analogous to a banshee had. I know banshee, that's a lady in white, that's just a crazy lady, no, but I think the lady in white does represent the banshee, but it's just a more modernized version of the banshee, i don't know. It's like you see a creepy woman by themselves Doing something weird and yeah, we'll check out the the description.
Speaker 1:They're described as a woman in white with a pale complexion, white hair, and she appears as a wailing spirit, and she often wears bloodstained clothing of the person who's gonna die, that's really creepy, isn't it?
Speaker 2:I'm thinking a laugh for dead, the video game. But yeah, if I saw a woman in like a wedding dress, in the middle of the night, covered in blood, just You know, walking down the street or just screaming her head off, i would question What. I think yeah, like is somebody gonna die, that I know how did I get here. I should call somebody.
Speaker 1:Yeah, maybe call 911 God maybe and and while the, the legends Sometimes say that if you hear the her screaming, you'll die within 24 hours.
Speaker 2:Oh my god.
Speaker 1:I like the ring.
Speaker 2:But a lot less time. Yeah, at least the ring you get seven fucking days, man, you can get your affairs in order you can write your will scream in your face.
Speaker 1:That's annoying. You can write your will, yeah, but there are cases where the the soon-to-die person is a relative of the individual that heard the cry. So if I heard the cry you could die. You just rhymed like hardcore.
Speaker 2:I need to get you like a DJ MC, mike Hey guys this is my first album. I think this is gonna be the next M&M over here.
Speaker 1:He's like dropping. I don't think I'm angry enough, but yeah so if I heard the yell, then you would. You could be the one that died. Isn't that a short end of a stick?
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it's. It's almost like she's the grim reaper, like it's Ireland's version of the grim reaper, which I don't know where the grim reaper comes from, but it seems like their death. It's like a death omen, pretty much. They come to let you know that someone you love or hold dearly is gonna die By screaming at you in their bloody clothes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's not the best way to like how about a hey, i hate to break this to you instead of.
Speaker 2:Couldn't they? can she just do it like the military, where she knocks on your door and gives you some solemn It like condolences for your lost?
Speaker 1:one That might be nice a little metal there I would I definitely gives you an arm that they found.
Speaker 2:That's all they got.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but let's move on to a more cheerful fairy, this one most people know the leprechaun.
Speaker 2:Oh, man, the leprechaun gets so much bad rap. He does, because I feel like a leprechaun sometimes.
Speaker 1:Me too.
Speaker 2:And it's not because of my height, it's because of my ginger beard.
Speaker 1:And slightly maybe with the height too, doesn't help, but they're supposed to be Earthferries and It's always after me Lucky Charms. And what's interesting is they specialize in shoemaking.
Speaker 2:Yeah, did you know? leprechaun the leprechaun word is derived from shoemaker.
Speaker 1:It makes sense.
Speaker 2:It doesn't make sense, though. Why are leprechaun shoemaker guys always after pots of gold?
Speaker 1:Or why do they have riches? I've never seen a rich shoemaker.
Speaker 2:But actually it does make a lot of sense too, because, if you notice, leprechauns always have fancy fucking shoes on They got that buckle. They got the shoes with the buckles on there. They're always polished, so you know they're a shoemaker. They take care of their shoes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and they're actually a relatively newer thing. They didn't appear in English literature until the 17th century. Really, yeah, and they're known for being very small, wearing green clothes and hiding treasures.
Speaker 2:I feel like this is another fucking lore made up by a thief who stole some dude's pot of gold and was like I saw a leprechaun steal you gold. It was at the end of that rainbow over there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just keep walking that way and you'll find it At the end of that rainbow You'll tank me later And according to WB Yeats in his 1888 book Ferry and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry.
Speaker 2:I love that he said peasantry Like those poor folk Of the island Of the Irish peasantry Oh.
Speaker 1:Irish peasantry. Jesus, He says that leprechauns are small, withered old men and the image, the popular image of these little men is also that they're ill-tempered and mischievous.
Speaker 2:Jesus Christ, he sounds a little harsh on the little leprechaun. Man, old man.
Speaker 1:An Irish peasantry. I would be ill-tempered too if I was a withered old man.
Speaker 2:Is this guy upper class? some fucking posh bullshit? WB Yeats, he sounds like it. WB yeah, anybody who goes by the first their first two initials.
Speaker 1:I got exactly really famous, but I don't know why I've heard of that name too, but it just sounds like fucking oatmeal to me.
Speaker 2:He is an author.
Speaker 1:Obviously, but WB Yeats, Eat your yeats.
Speaker 2:Yeah, your yeaties.
Speaker 1:Yeah, i gotta say, of all of these, the leprechaun, i think, is the most Devious. Unbelievable to me Like these other ones sound like Wait These other ones sound like.
Speaker 2:You believe in Faris? I'm from an Irish. Wait, you're into.
Speaker 1:Faris, i am Irish.
Speaker 2:You believe in Faris, but you don't believe in leprechauns. That's right, yeah, so okay. Well, if you're dissing on the leps, So that just sounds weird.
Speaker 1:man, Don't call leps.
Speaker 2:Are you a gnome believer?
Speaker 1:They're like the same. They're even smaller than leprechauns. I hate to get into politics, Dana.
Speaker 2:I don't want to talk about that. Whatever man, You just saw Team Fairy over there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, let's continue, though, with the next fairy, because the next fairy is really interesting. It's called the puka, oh God, And this is one to fear.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because it's got the word poo in it. Watch out.
Speaker 1:Not just that, It also appears after Nightfall and it can turn itself into any shape in horrific form.
Speaker 2:It can turn itself into a turd pretty much.
Speaker 1:That too, And so it can change into bats, eagles, dogs, black horses, goats.
Speaker 2:Everything. This puka has everything.
Speaker 1:And it may destroy crops and terrify livestock.
Speaker 2:It doesn't, I don't know. The whole name puka sounds kind of cute and cuddly. It's terrifying, It's kind of I don't know.
Speaker 1:It's interesting you say that, because not all the legends are negative. In fact, there was this one with this guy named Patrick. Oh, really.
Speaker 2:Patrick. Yeah, i know No way This is his name, saying Patrick.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but this guy made friends, apparently, with a puka And in turn it helped him thresh corn And he was so happy He created a special suit of clothes for the spirit.
Speaker 2:Oh my god, It sounds like that guy was all the rave back then. He was just bragging to his neighbors all the time about his little puka bitch Yeah. But I think puka was a cute cuddly thing. I don't think it was evil.
Speaker 1:It sounds like it. This next one is definitely not cute and cuddly, though. This one's called the doula han, and I think there was something in Skyrim which were like Skyrim. No, no, you know what I'm thinking of, lord of the Rings. Doula han has to do with something in like the dwarf place, i think.
Speaker 2:And it is because mythology candles.
Speaker 1:They make candles and shout out to mythology candles. You guys make some bomb sense. Hashtag mythology candles, if you guys like fantasy themed candles like Lord of the Rings. Check out mythologies.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we'll do an ad for you one day. They're bomb, if you want.
Speaker 1:So the doula han is a place in Middle Earth and it also happens to be an Irish fairy. Doula han so hot right now, he's so hot, so hot right now.
Speaker 2:So hot, yeah. So what's up with the doula? I'm got you Sounds like the same world.
Speaker 1:Doula han. Yeah, but this is way different because it appears as a ghostly horseman Ghostly horseman And it's shown as a headless. So it's a headless rider who holds his head under the crook of his arm and the head kind of apparently glows like a jack-o-lantern. Why?
Speaker 2:does it call jack-o-lantern Jack-o like a jack-o-animal.
Speaker 1:No, it's jack-o, Oh damn it.
Speaker 2:Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Lantern, it's like your dumbass, oh my God.
Speaker 1:But the interesting thing is, according to the legend, the doula han is able to look into its head and see the home of a dying person. That's like it's.
Speaker 2:Wait a second. It's able to look into whose head It's head, its own head, yeah And see the head of a dying person.
Speaker 1:But that doesn't make. How does it look into its own head if its eyes are on its head? Does it turn its eyes backwards to see inside of its head?
Speaker 2:That's what makes it extra creepy, because then its eyes are all white apart from it being a headless head Yeah. Wait, so wait. The doula hand can look into its head and see somebody dying.
Speaker 1:It can see the home of a dying person which must be its entertainment, you know.
Speaker 2:And then Loves that shit, so it can watch somebody die Pretty much, or just their home.
Speaker 1:It can be like someone's dying in there And then do they go to that home Probably because it also uses a human spine as a whip. Isn't that fucking gnarly?
Speaker 2:Oh my god, it sounds like such a badass character you could play in like fucking, like Street Fighter or something, and it wouldn't want to use our spines.
Speaker 1:No, it would be more like a little slap, not a whip, like a little ribbon.
Speaker 2:Yeah, i don't know He's a fucked up spine. I don't think so. That's crazy. That's such a fucking vivid image. He uses a spine as a whip. Isn't that fucking crazy. Someone was creative writing that idea, because it's definitely not real.
Speaker 1:That would hurt getting slapped with the spine.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Rip your spine out your ass.
Speaker 1:And then another one that people probably know in the fairy realm is going to be the changeling Yeah with.
Speaker 2:Angelina, Angelina Jolie, which I've never seen, but I want to.
Speaker 1:It looked interesting. So the creatures are supposed to be deformed children who are abandoned. This sounds awful, doesn't it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, it sounds like her and Brad Pitt's marriage.
Speaker 1:No, no, It sounds like. it sounds to me like people could have had like kids that were like kind of deformed or didn't look normal. Like they could be from Chernobyl. And then they were like you know, this must have been a switch out from a fairy Like this wasn't our kid, It's just their way to get out of responsibility.
Speaker 2:To get out of jail free card, Like almost like all the lore we've been talking about. It's like people trying to weasel their way out of shit they fucked up or don't want to deal with anymore And they're like That, sound like that, and the fucking Jabberwocky did it. The Jabberwocky, yeah. Whatever they make up in the in the moment, they just spit it off like improv And the mayor's like you're right, we should look into that. Burn her, yeah, burn that bitch, burn that witch.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I really think it seems like someone just didn't want kids and they're trying to get out of their responsibility.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:No, I didn't have this baby. This baby's not mine. It's definitely a change. I did not have it. You, you take my baby from me.
Speaker 2:Do I sound Irish? I don't think so. I think you do. That was. that was a perfect Irish accent. Yeah, But we're talking about fairy tales.
Speaker 1:We're talking about fairy tales.
Speaker 2:Yeah, i was just thinking of that movie, fairy tale. You know, oh, what movie? You know, the movie fairy tale. Fairy tale, a true story. It's a true story, that's what it's called. That's what the movies call. It's called fairy tale, calling a true story.
Speaker 1:I think it's based.
Speaker 2:It's got to be based, not actually It's a true story which is based on a true story.
Speaker 1:So You lost me.
Speaker 2:It's a fairy. the title is a fairy tale, i believe. I believe Dana can do it.
Speaker 1:If you at home, say you believe in fairies right now, dana will be able to get this out.
Speaker 2:Oh, wow, i just felt a boost of fairy energy. Someone said it. The title is fairy tale, calling a true story, but the movie, the whole movie, is actually based off of a real story from 1917. I get you now We're on the same page, okay, but the movie came out in 1997. So that's like what? 90, that's 80 years later. Wow, think about that.
Speaker 1:Wow, and what?
Speaker 2:is this movie about These two girls who photographed themselves in like a Woodland Brook type of park, like a kind of like a natural park? Just for funsies, for funsies, and in the photographs there's a bunch of fairies in the photos with them And they take them back and they're like wow, eventually, like two years later, these photos get published publicly. Publishing was slow.
Speaker 1:It was So. They had real life fairies photo bomb and these two girls in this brook, Yeah.
Speaker 2:Up in there And these two girls started selfies pretty much back in 1917. They were ahead of their time. It was as actually the cutting the cuttingly fairies, and this was in England, correct, this was in West Yorkshire, england.
Speaker 1:Thank you, Governor. So the fairies showed up there, They published it and the world was like whoa, these are fairies.
Speaker 2:Not exactly The world was. It was very controversial because when the photos came out, a lot of fucking like experts looked at the photos and they're like. Half of them were like this is genuine shit And then the other half was like this is fakery. That's what they used the term, i think, fakery.
Speaker 1:This is bullshit. This is bullshit, wait. So are these pictures actually real? No, okay.
Speaker 2:Damn it, Dana. You tricked me. God damn it. I got excited. I still do believe in fairies.
Speaker 1:Fairy just died because of you, no.
Speaker 2:Basically Francis Griffith is her name, griffiths or something And then her cousin, which was LC Wright. Francis was 10. Lc was 16. They got ahold of LC's dad's camera, snapped some shots in nature with some cool scenery in the background And basically they came out with these photos and a very well-renowned author and sort of public figure put these photos in a magazine called The Strand And it was kind of like this offbeat magazine which had to do with spiritualism. It was kind of new age for the time And have these fairy photos in there And just explaining why fairies are real. This is proof right here. And guess who fucking published these photos? Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Speaker 1:Wait, who is that guy?
Speaker 2:again He created Sherlock Holmes, the whole story.
Speaker 1:Wait, I'm so confused. Is this in the movie or is this?
Speaker 2:for real. This is for real.
Speaker 1:What Yeah? He published the photos.
Speaker 2:Yeah, into a magazine that he ran.
Speaker 1:The writer of logic, pristine logic Of Sherlock. Holmes, yeah, no-transcript He published that these fairies pictures were real and Or maybe, maybe he didn't deduce they're real. He could have just been like you know what? This is funny. I'm gonna post this. I'm gonna troll the whole world and make them think that fairies exist.
Speaker 2:Unfortunately, no, he actually a hundred and ten percent believes these photos were real. Hey, no shame. And he backed them all the way these little girls. So he publishes them, and, and then you know, there's a large controversy the pictures have to be real.
Speaker 1:No, i mean like, like these pictures.
Speaker 2:Oh, they exist online.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I'm saying, man.
Speaker 2:I thought you meant they were legit What?
Speaker 1:what would I type in to find?
Speaker 2:type in cutting Lee fairies Cot trng le y I cannot spell To save my life.
Speaker 1:I gotta see. Oh my gosh, that's the picture. Okay okay, viewers, please, please, google Cotting Lee fairies photo and Look at. Look at this, because you think I was making this shit up, but there's a bunch of naked fairies Dancing around this girl, yeah but anyways, i'm gonna continue with my fairy tale.
Speaker 2:Good, he takes those pictures, publishes them in the strand magazine. All these experts you know swarm around it, shit Talk it, explain why it's real, why it's not, and then, and then you know you got sir off the cone and Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, he's totally backed it. And Then, quite a few years later, once the girls have grown up into adults, they both admit that It was all bullshit, that you tell me these doll looking Fucking figurines in this are fake?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry. They admitted that the photos were faked using cardboard cutouts taken from a children's book.
Speaker 1:Man, it didn't take much to fool Sherlock.
Speaker 2:No, it's anything but Sherlock Holmes. Watson with them and they said all these years they were embarrassed to like come clean about, about the lie because Sir Arthur Totally backed them. So they had this big celebrity kind of like back in their story And they felt too embarrassed to say it was like a lie.
Speaker 1:It's like the Bigfoot dude who got in the suit and then everyone was like, deciding a Bigfoot. And it's like he's like Oh shit, that's me. I thought that was a joke, yeah.
Speaker 2:It's hard to come clean was a joke, but however, there's a little. There's a little twist at the end of that story.
Speaker 1:What's the twist?
Speaker 2:is that Francis Griffiths, which was the younger one? Mm-hmm she, you know she insisted until Her death in 1986, which is when Chernobyl happened, that one of the at least a few of the photographs were genuine. That What, that some of the photos with the fairies in them were actually real and some of the ones were with cardboard cutouts.
Speaker 1:That's interesting Because that you you would immediately wonder, like, if you really had fairies, why fake fairies?
Speaker 2:I Don't know. You know what, if, what if, by them taking these photos with like cardboard Cutouts of fairies, they actually summoned real fairies by pretending I.
Speaker 1:Thought you were gonna say, what if the fairies actually existed? But they needed to do like a cover-up, hoax to make everyone think they didn't. So then they did like this bad cutout job And we're like, yep see, look, fairies do exist, they're real, they're real.
Speaker 2:Jesus Christ. That reminds me of, like the, there's actually a whole society, a fairy.
Speaker 1:Full of shit.
Speaker 2:No, I'm full of fairies man, which is worse full of dust, fairy dust.
Speaker 1:A society of what fairies?
Speaker 2:There's a society of fairy investigators nah. I got it, i got it, hey, no.
Speaker 1:You just told me my dream job. Where do I sign up?
Speaker 2:You can sign up on Facebook.
Speaker 1:Dang, that's so unofficial.
Speaker 2:No, it's real.
Speaker 1:And what do these fairy investigators do? my diaries?
Speaker 2:Well, it was like a, you know, somewhat secret cult. Their idea, their mission was to collect evidence and information on fairies back in the day, you know, and I think it was formed around 1925, this cult type secret society, and The guy that actually helped form it, his name was Captain sir Quentin Crawford, and he worked, he was part of the sir captain, sir.
Speaker 2:Quentin Crawford and he was part of the Royal Navy. Wow, this man actually helped invent a very innovative technology for wireless communication with. So he was involved in the some wireless radio communication for the military and With this technology breakthrough that he made up, he started trying to contact fairies.
Speaker 1:You know, i think there's something to these fairies, because you have too many like smart people, like Sherlock and this guy who Said that fairies existed. man, maybe they're onto something. Maybe if I Look for these little people and I joined this investigation Squad, maybe I'll find something.
Speaker 2:That's I think it's the social suicide.
Speaker 1:Did he find anything sir? Captain, sir that's what I want to be known as captain, sir, captain, sir, doctor man, let's just call him.
Speaker 2:Let's just call him Crawford, he. He worked with this guy named Bernard slay.
Speaker 1:Basically, his names are fucking awesome.
Speaker 2:Bernard slay. He was the psychic part of the team So he would try to communicate psychically with the fairies. Crawford tried to communicate with the fairies with technology and he said that on one or two occasions that the fairies can't Communicate it and told him where some treasure was.
Speaker 1:Did he find? I don't know, i don't know that's not confirmed. Okay, but they have a sense of humor too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but during this whole, this whole Society formation, world War two happened ten years later after it was formed, and they lost most of their records. It wasn't great for the fairy business, that's what you're saying, No they lost all their research. It was either lost or destroyed in the war, that's what they say. So they had to start from ground zero, man. But you know, it became active again in the 50s and they got up to like a hundred members and During this time that like anonymous, like like fairies, anonymous like you don't.
Speaker 1:You don't know the other people's names and you wear masks And you're not allowed to ask questions like fight club but fairy club pretty much I'll talk about it.
Speaker 2:It was kind of hardcore actually. The the What is it called? the fairy investigation society, fsi? It's the FIS. I said that fucking backwards the fists you actually had to genuinely Believe in fairies to be accepted into this society.
Speaker 1:You had, would you have to take a polygraph test.
Speaker 2:You'd have to swear doesn't believe you'd have to swear to them in Person that you believe in fairies.
Speaker 1:Like anyone would lie about believing in Fairies, like I bet you there's more people in the world that believe in fairies But say they don't. But for a person to come out and be like hey. I believe, in fairies and them not. That's like, why would you commit social suicide for no reason?
Speaker 2:That's kind of crazy, isn't it? like what they believe in fairies? I do, yeah, do you really though. But guess, prove it, guess, prove to me, goddamn it. Guess who joined this fucking society in the 1950s? Sherlock, no, alistair Crowley, he probably would have if he. Yeah, no, he was a fairy himself. Yeah, he was Walt Disney Tinker.
Speaker 1:Bell.
Speaker 2:Tinker Bell what? yeah, he my mind in the 1950s he joined this, the fairy investigation society and Sort of for inspiration and he went over to Ireland to get a like an experience in the folklore and history of Ireland For upcoming films and I think that's what helped inspire Tinker Bell.
Speaker 1:Wow, fucking crazy, isn't it? it is, and Crazy how far away from the actual mythology he took Tinker Bell.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he really sexualized Tinker Bell. Yeah, like what did he put her in?
Speaker 1:like a little a little stone scrappy, yeah, like a rag Uh-huh, yeah.
Speaker 2:So basically, long story short the FIS disbanded in the 1990s in Dublin Ireland and Nothing happened. And then, in 2013, another dude Reformed the whole society. Oh, is it dude and Dude, with no nothing else to do. And now you don't have now you don't have to genuinely believe in fairies to join it, and you Can join online like hey.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I checked out skeptical, but I would like to join this kind of group. It's kind of I would like to look for these, but I'm still skeptical and skeptical.
Speaker 2:But yeah, tell me how I could find one. Yeah, like fucking.
Speaker 1:Dwight open-minded though about fairies, i just don't really believe they exist.
Speaker 2:It sounds like you're Dwight from the office So you can actually join their society right now. They're all over let's join it. But I was looking at their social media on Facebook and it was kind of sad. Like most of their posts are just artwork of fairies. They don't have any real.
Speaker 1:We need to bring the life back in.
Speaker 2:I kind of want to fake some fairy photos now, like those two girls did in 1917 just to give them some hope and send them to the fairies You know just like let's give them something.
Speaker 1:They've been beat down, they've lost all their evidence They need, even if it's fake man, they need a little something. Yeah kindle their spirit. It's a really little fairy dust sprinkled on them. Yeah, not just yeah something, just something, yeah damn. Let me ask you one more time seriously Do you believe in fairies? Do you think that they're possible?
Speaker 2:Possibly like honestly seriously.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, is Bigfoot real?
Speaker 1:Hey, don't ask me questions. I'm asking you a question. Answer the damn question.
Speaker 2:I think that if Bigfoot, i Think that the likelihood of fairies existing is just about as likely as Bigfoot.
Speaker 1:That's fair. As UFOs I.
Speaker 2:Think the likelihood of UFOs existing is way higher than Bigfoot or fairies as in the alien spaceships, not. Alien spaceships, not government using fucking UFO.
Speaker 1:We know that shit exists. Yeah, I know you government trying to fuck, with us Trying to fucking have an over right through you. We know that's you.
Speaker 2:You're just trying to control us Hovering over freeways, trying to scare us.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we know you fuck onto you Yeah.
Speaker 2:Uncle Sam fuck you fairies exist too fairies, yeah, fairies. I think fairies, bigfoot and ghosts could be within the same dimension. The dimension which is of paranormal, like we have five senses, like it might be like another sense that we don't have but sometimes Tap into yeah, the dimension of the paranormal and the dimension of the unemployed.
Speaker 1:What middle-aged men with nothing else to do. What are you talking about? What are you saying? You're losing touch. You got to come back. Come back to humanity. We're here.
Speaker 2:I'm losing touch.
Speaker 1:Right now We're talking about we're in earth, we're in earth or we're in and on and all over earth, man. Wow, i think you're right, though, and I think that fairies, if they exist, then It's like something like Bigfoot that's Beyond our comprehension and maybe doesn't occupy this physical Space of reality that we exist in right.
Speaker 2:It's kind of like having Neighbors in a condo that occupy a space right above you.
Speaker 1:Make some noise I'm, but you can't see them but you hear them talking and you're like shut the fuck up. Yeah, i'm asleep, god damn Can you see, please stop banging.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to go to sleep They have it. Yeah, it's a, it's an anomaly, but I feel like if you were to see if, if fairies existed and you're able to see them, there's a good chance, you would see them in the UK, specifically Ireland. It's magical, because it's fucking magical. I don't know why, but like the forest and the nature, it just has like this old vibe to it, you know, like it's ancient, that's enchanted. There's some magic over there.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, what you say, it's magic.
Speaker 1:It's so magical, it's like you'll love the magic over there.
Speaker 2:I love it. I feel like you're half Irish, half middle of. I don't know you love the magic over there, over there.
Speaker 1:Well, i'll just leave that a mystery what I am, because I am thinking of ending this podcast here. This has been my in someone's gotta end. This has been my in over here about fairies all night And over across from me we have.
