Anne Huston (Caveat NYC) joins Brian and Josh to do battle with the Slender Man and other monsters from 2009’s viral YouTube horror series Marble Hornets. Their journey takes them from semi-incoherent college memories to the content cornucopia of the Something Awful Forums, Reddit, and early YouTube: reminders of an internet where people could create freely without extreme commercial pressure. They also talk a lot about something called Ong’s Hat. Hope you had a happy Halloween!

Anne Huston is the General Manager at Caveat, a cabaret comedy theatre located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.

Slender man?! I don't even know her man!

Max Johansson

Is Anne also Swedish? Because hiring someone to play Santa at your family Christmas is absolutely a thing we do. Unlike in the English-speaking tradition, you expect to see him in person on Christmas Eve, usually after dinner, and receive one present per person (or sometimes just all of them) out of his hand. I think the most common way to do this is to have a family member pretend to step out and then come back dressed up, but having a stranger do it is definitely a thing that happens and a thing that’s been done multiple times in my family.

I am not! Irish/German on that side. Really have no idea where this tradition got started for us. I think it was mainly my Grandma wanting to make a big to-do.

Elah

i gotta say that segue tying the tangent about the santa video back into what makes marble hornets effective was one for the ages. smoother than a twitter maoist's brain

The Virgin choking bit might be the funniest thing you've ever done

BrianAlflordIsGoodActually

that interstitial took me straight back to Badvertising (now-cancelled podcast) where they had a whole ongoing subplot about the hosts hating each other and all being manipulated by a higher power that was right about to hit its apex when the podcast ended due to the hosts splitting up. similar sudden deaths keep happening to media i like, strangely. pls don't get cancelled

Today we learned that Josh doesn't know how gays do missionary.

Wilko

Pretty sure the martyr St. Nikolaus was greek or something adjacent Myra lies in modern Turkey. Not sure where you're getting the idea Santa Claus was German. Or do you mean culturally?

Nathan Woods

Y'all did not adequately prepare me for this peak content. 11/10

This episode hits too close to home, like literally. i'm currently camping along the batona trail near ongs hat

As someone who comes from a family of weirdo Dutchmen, extended discussion of SInterklaas and his clearly unproblematic assistant makes me feel Seen, and also Heard

I really appreciated the Ong-going bit in this podcast

Camoose

I had a stint of homelessness, and free entertainment can be hard to come by. I remember using a firefox plugin to download the entire marblehornets playlist at a friends place to watch on a small netbook i had. I probably watched it a few times and had really enjoyed it.

josh's system of a down reference around 47:40 was criminally underappreciated tbh
