Legion Podcasts - All Shows

Hello, and welcome to the 97th episode of The Friday Nightmare Podcast.

I am one half of your hosting team, Heather Powell, coming to you today from Waterdown, Ontario, Canada.

And with me, as always, is Mr.

Smoke Show Crawford, coming to you from the town of Swartz Creek in the county of Genesee, in the state of Michigan, in the United States of America, in the North American continent, in the Western Hemisphere, on the planet Earth, in the Milky Way galaxy, fully vaxxed, boosted, and waxed, and ready to climax.

And if you can, please get me wet and feed me after midnight.

I'm the man with the not so glorious beard, aka Mother of Cats, aka the man with the humongous ego, aka Scott Housel, aka Scotty Too Hotty, aka Spanky, aka one half of the premium podcasting duo, aka the laziest editor known to man.

We're so premium that we only release once a month.

We're not like other shows that may have the term dummies and horror in it, that have to try extra hard and constantly come up with new shows.

We're so good that we are so privileged that we release like once a month.

And this episode is vintage because it's going to come out in 2025.

So all of you who want to remember those 2024s, I guess the good thing with us recording once a month is Scott and I got a lot of movies.

And as we know, as premium podcasters, we only pick the finest.

I actually sent Scott a gift of two raccoons going through trash.

And I said that was us looking for movies.

It's pretty accurate.

I've become way more picky just because I don't have nearly as much time to watch movies.

But I still find the I still tend to come across the crap because it's sometimes fun to watch.

Here's the thing.

First of all, can we just mention that Scott's had to pick up two cats so far?

Is that the same cat twice?

Oh, that was poof, the same cat.

Oh, your headphones up, your microphones up.

No wonder I can't hear you fully.

Oh shit.

Everyone, Scott's back now.

I know you thought he was recording from the other room, but no, he's back.

He's back.

Wow.

Look, we're so pretty.

Should we start that back over or could you hear it well enough?

I could hear it.

It just sounded like you were echoing.

And I'm like, oh, that's weird.

I wonder why he's echoing so much.

And then I was like, oh, shit, it's your call.

We're pretty podcasters.

If Tim Davis can run his podcast the way he does, we should be able to do whatever we want, right?

Right.

Honestly, right?

Or Rob, Rob the Hump.

Truly, you know, Mr.

What did he say about the, we will talk about it in a violent nature later, but what do you call it?

In a boring nature walk or something like that?

Well, we'll get to that.

God, that was funny.

And then I said the sequel to that was going to be a lackluster date with Rob.

Yeah.

From my POV vision, of course, of me going on a date with Rob, which will be fucking fabulous.

We'll do that at your wedding.

That can be a hashtag.

That's around the time the episode will come out, so it's good.

It will be fresh in everybody's head when it happens.

Exactly.

Right.

So I booked tickets.

I'm hoping that Scott can come up with him, and will him and Erica can come up to the Paranormal Circus.

Did you watch the video from the website?

That looks interesting.

Doesn't it look wild?

Yeah.

So it's an American, I think, thing, and they have a couple of the legs of the tours.

So there's three tours.

One's happening in Europe, one's happening in America, one's happening in Canada.

So obviously, I've invited Scott to the Canadian one, where he doesn't have to check his guns at the door.

So hopefully, they'll be able to come up.

I'm pretty kind of pumped for that.

And in regards to horror, besides we've been busy, I've been watching movies, like a good podcaster does, but I've also been traveling.

I was out to Calgary and back and saw the Rocky Mountains, which were pretty fucking cool.

And yeah, hashtag just living good life.

We had Canada Day and America Day, where they basically said, fuck you to the British.

Remember that, Matt Wood.

Remember that.

Remember who's your loyal bitch.

It's me, not Scotty.

Scotty's part of those traitor fucking Americans.

Fuck your king and queen.

And Scott's been, I don't know, parenting.

Pretty much parenting and lots of yard work and trying to not die from the heat and not drown from the tropical rain that we got.

It's been fun.

Yeah.

I don't know.

You went to Frankenmuth.

I guess that's exciting.

Yeah.

I went to the German town here in Michigan called Frankenmuth and took the boys because they'd never been before.

But yeah, everything's German.

So the buildings are all German style and the food is all German.

And they have a Nazi exhibit as well.

And God, no.

Oh, but we don't have that.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

More like, I guess you would say more Bavarian style.

I guess Bavarian.

Oh, that sounds sexy.

Bavarian.

But yeah, so we took the boys there, gave them some money to spend because there's a bunch of different shops and stores to go to.

And yeah, we just had a good time and ate lots and lots of food because there's dinner at the...

Where would we go?

We went to Zenders and we ordered there all-you-can-eat chicken dinner thing.

And it was just like sides and sides and sides and entrees.

And the boys' eyes were just getting bigger and bigger and bigger, going, this is a lot of food.

But they're like, we're up to the challenge because we're teenage boys and all we do is eat.

Exactly.

And it was expensive, but it was worth it because I never experienced that before.

Yeah.

You know, what's money, Scott?

What's money when you're having experiences with your children?

Exactly.

Right.

They're like, they listen to those.

They're like, what's money, Scott, when we need a new Xbox game?

Pretty money.

As Heather said, when we want this random thing, they want something random.

It's just, hey, Scott, what can we do around the house to make more money?

Oh, hey, I like that.

That's ambition.

That's ambition.

I was to say, you know, we'll be like, or sometimes I'll just ask for to borrow money.

I'll be like, well, I can loan it to you.

And then if I think of something that I need you to do around the house, you're doing it for me.

Okay, deal.

See, I want little child laborers too.

Is that all you got to do, Scott?

Is just marry some chick and then make your kids your slaves?

That sounds great.

Well, I mean, yeah, well, I mean, you got kids, got to use them.

Oh, man, little child laborers.

I better work on those nieces and nephews of mine.

You got to start getting them over and do it out.

It's working shit.

Actually, my recent nephew, little Eli, Elijah was born into the world last Saturday.

I waited to post him on Facebook until, of course, his mother did the honors first.

But I guess people, I guess I have had a more limited social media presence as of late.

Just because there's been some people that have reached out to other people, I don't know, not me directly.

So I don't understand why they wouldn't reach out to me directly.

But just to squash any rumors that are out there.

I have not left Slumber Party Massacre.

I was on the podcast.

I was only away for two weeks.

Yes, there were a couple of people who messaged people in the podcast.

Not me, but people who know me.

And I don't know why they didn't message me.

And I was traveling to, well, we all know I went to Europe.

I won't borestab with that.

Sorry if I can go.

But also, I was in Calgary, and then it was just challenging with the ladies for me to schedule a podcast with them.

Same with Scott.

And I don't post on social media as much, because I'm just trying to get away from doing that, unless it's promoting something like a place, a thing, or group photos, or my new nephew.

So anyway, I had people mistakenly thinking that I had a baby, that perhaps I had been MIA because I had a baby.

And no, I certainly, that would be a fucking horror movie within itself for me.

I love children.

I'm actually the guardian to several children in my life, and that's great.

But I have no concern or need to have myself my own fucking baby.

I want them pre-done like Scott got.

Scott is like, oh, parenting is so easy.

I can't wait till I see Erica again.

And I'm like, hey, hey, Erica, Scott, Scott thinks parenting is easy.

Was it easy when the boys were three?

And how many years apart are they?

Three years or four years?

Three years.

Yeah.

Three and six, Erica.

Was that fucking easy?

Did I?

I never said you're putting words in my mouth.

I never said parenting fun.

Yeah, I said parenting is fun, not easy.

Fun, fun.

My apologies.

Fun.

I'm going to ask her the same question and ask how much fun it was when they were toddlers.

And that's good.

I think her response will be.

I know, she'll be like, we don't talk about those dark times.

But you did get the primo.

Like honestly, whatever fucking cheat code you used in life.

And now you have two teenage boys that adore you and like think you're the coolest shit, which you are, which you are.

Like they're not wrong, but you've totally nailed it, Scott.

You nailed it.

And you get them to be little slaves for you around your house, little child laborers.

Right.

It's like a it's it's double edged sword because now there's just no quiet time.

But you know, that's why I picked up gardening.

No quiet.

You have to go outside and hide in the garden to get quiet.

Exactly.

It's my time now.

Oh, my gosh.

Well, hey, you know what?

Worst things you have again.

Nothing is more interesting than how much Scott's life has changed over the years.

Nothing in this podcast.

Just one year.

One year.

Well, yeah, like it was starting to change, but definitely the moment you and Erica brought your lives together as one is when things really got.

I was like, speaking of which, tomorrow will be exactly one year since they moved in.

Yeah.

How are you guys going to celebrate?

Probably just go to work and come home and be exhausted, like always.

Sounds perfect.

Sounds like the best day ever.

That's realistic.

Maybe, maybe.

What about that ice cream place?

Is that ice cream place still up the street from you?

Remember when you're driving out of Shorts Creek and I would say to you all the time, we should go to that ice cream place.

Is that still there?

Oh, yeah.

Go for ice cream.

Yeah, because Jaden's been wanting to go there.

So maybe we could.

Yeah, there you go.

Celebrate your one year with eating ice cream.

Be like, yeah, this is my life now.

And tell them they have me to thank.

Basically, any fun things that happen in Jaden's life and Connor's life, they can thank me.

I'll make sure they know that.

Right.

They'll be like, Heather suggested this.

She she may be a complete clusterfuck when it comes to remembering movie names or what Scott said or misquoting him.

But she suggests for what year it is.

I don't know much, but I do know fun.

You do.

I'll give you that.

I do.

I do.

Well, we we doubled down into horror movies, so we'll get started.

This is the most recent job on The Shuddy.

I don't even think you've watched this yet.

Have you watched Hashtag Chad Gets the Axe?

I couldn't find it on there, but I thought it would be up in their featured section.

I'm wondering if maybe it's kind of bare.

I see that it's just Canadian Shudder.

Well, that's annoying.

Well, that's stupid, though.

I don't know how much you would like this anyway, because it's about influencers.

Well, I'll wait.

You'll hear the pens on the Influer film.

Is that what you're going to say?

I was going to say depends on what happens to them.

Well, then you would probably like this film.

For social media influencers live stream their trip to the Devil's Manor, former house to a Santanic cult, and things don't go well, and the violence ramps up, and so do the views.

Scott, are you looking for a film that talks about how people like to be voyeurs and watch people in despair on social media?

Hell yeah.

Then you have the fucking movie.

This could also be a subcategory.

Social influencers fighting for views and the stupid things they'll do to get them.

We could also do this in our awards because there's enough, much like pregnancy horror.

True.

Right.

So this movie is exactly what it sounds like.

It is found footage and for social media influencers, go to a house and chaos occurs.

I thought that this movie at an 83-minute runtime was enjoyable.

I felt that it is very much a social media influencer film, so you're going to get the annoying influencer personas.
