00:00Dave and Chuck the Freak, and thank you for being with us.
00:07Have any of you checked out that new show, The Watcher, on Netflix?
00:12A lot of people I've heard have.
00:15Oh, my God, my whole family is obsessed with it.
00:17They've all, like, blown through it.
00:18This is based on that real story we've talked about on the show many times,
00:24that family that bought the place in New Jersey
00:26and then start getting these odd letters.
00:30That's what it's based on.
00:32Oh, wow.
00:33I didn't know that.
00:34Yeah, it's based on that actual real-life story.
00:37Apparently it's, you know, creepy, spooky.
00:41Yeah, I can't remember how that whole thing wrapped up, that whole story.
00:46I think they just left and they weren't able to sell it, I think, right?
00:49Because people knew.
00:50Oh, that's right, because there's someone.
00:52As far as I remember, the real story ended with them just leaving that house
00:55because they couldn't handle it anymore.
00:57So we don't need to watch the show.
00:58I feel like they thought they knew.
00:59Sorry, spoiler alert, but it's based on a real story.
01:02Yeah, I don't know.
01:02I didn't know that.
01:03It just seems like a weird thing to have a show about because nothing happens.
01:07It's just a guy sending the notes.
01:09Yeah.
01:09A guy.
01:12They don't get attacked.
01:14Mail call.
01:15Yeah.
01:16Should I watch it or not?
01:18It's a show about mail that we got.
01:20Well, when you say it like that.
01:22No, I don't want to watch it now.
01:24It's just like the walking slowly to the mailbox.
01:29You're writing the letters.
01:30Open it up and be like, we got a letter.
01:35No!
01:36It says here, they don't like us.
01:38No!
01:40Wish we'd leave.
01:42That's it, though.
01:43That's all it says.
01:44It doesn't say they want to kill us or anything.
01:46They just don't like us and want us to leave.
01:48I'm going to throw it away.
01:51It doesn't seem that scary when you say it like that, I got to tell you.
01:55On a series finale, the family leaves because this guy's just writing letters so much.
02:01Dad?
02:02Yes, son?
02:04I went to the mailbox.
02:05I know you told me not to.
02:07Is it?
02:07Is it another?
02:09It's another letter.
02:10Not another letter.
02:11It is.
02:12Let me read it.
02:14I don't like you.
02:17I want you to leave.
02:18That's it, Dad.
02:20That's all it says.
02:21We just bought this house!
02:23We're never going to be able to sell it, Dad!
02:26Why is this happening?
02:27I don't know!
02:29I don't know!
02:32Crazy.
02:33I sure hope we don't get another letter on the next episode of The Watcher.
02:37Will they get another letter on the next episode?
02:40You're not going to believe it.
02:41What?
02:42It's another letter!
02:43No!
02:44Oh, my God!
02:45This one was in a different kind of envelope.
02:48What?
02:49What does this one say?
02:51All kinds of creepy stuff.
02:54Oh, dear.
02:55It says, I don't like you.
02:58I wish you guys would move.
03:00We just bought this house!
03:03That's it!
03:03Every time!
03:04It's the dad furious that he can't sell.
03:07He just bought this house!
03:10The wife crying!
03:12The kids tear-
03:13AHHHHH!
03:15But which one?
03:16Who is it?
03:17You know who it is!
03:18It's a creepy old man!
03:19I really don't!
03:21Hello, new homeowners.
03:22I'm the mailman.
03:23I have a letter here for you.
03:24No!
03:25Not a letter!
03:26Mailman!
03:27Run!
03:28On the next episode of The Watcher, this one of us.
03:31I think we're about to get another letter.
03:35I mean, that's gotta be the whole show!
03:37That's it.
03:38I don't know.
03:38That's the whole show, Lise.
03:39Maybe take it off.
03:40He saved me.
03:41Thank you for reenacting it.
03:43Yeah, like-
03:43I don't need to now.
03:44Like, I don't know, like, nine episodes in, he's just like,
03:48I hope we don't get another letter.
03:52Oh, God.
03:53Uh-oh.
03:54Mail here!
03:55I got, uh, oh, no, this package is for your neighbor.
03:58Let me guess, another creepy letter.
04:01You're correct.
04:01You expecting one, I assume.
04:03Here you go.
04:04We just bought this house.
04:05It's been nine straight months of it.
04:07We just bought this house.
04:09But, like, we all know how it ends, too.
04:11Like, well, that's it.
04:13We can't take it.
04:14We have to leave this house we just bought.
04:17And that's it.
04:18That's the end.
04:19Yeah, I'm sure they do make it more grumpy.
04:22They have to.
04:22I guess the family wasn't behind this at all,
04:25doing this.
04:26Oh, no?
04:26No.
04:27Oh, my God.
04:27That's crazy to just.
04:28Well, they probably don't ever want to relive that.
04:30I know, but I want the money.
04:32It's my story.
04:33Theirs wasn't a show.
04:34They were like, what is going to happen right now?
04:36Oh, yeah.
04:37They thought they were in real danger.
04:39Maybe they were.
04:40I don't know.
04:40I haven't seen the show.
04:41The article I'm reading about it.
04:44So, in the show, they put in that they received, they moved in the house, which the family never
04:48moved in, and they received phone calls and break-ins, but the former owners only received
04:54one letter from the watcher.
04:57They only got one.
05:01And they never moved in?
05:02Which they hadn't considered ominous.
05:05So, it wasn't even that crazy?
05:07So, basically what they did, they were like, you know what would be cool?
05:10If that watcher guy was actually scary and sent hundreds of letters, they just took a little
05:17idea.
05:17A little tiny idea and made it into crazy.
05:21So, that changes the whole concept of the series.
05:23It's like, they're just having dinner, and they're like, ah, everybody calm down.
05:26We just bought this house.
05:27Stop thinking about that one time we got that letter.
05:30Yeah.
05:31But if Lisa's right, they never even moved into the house.
05:34I think that's what this article said.
05:36That they basically got a letter in the mailbox and was like, you know, I went to that house
05:40that we bought that we were thinking of moving into, and I got this letter, and it's super
05:44creepy.
05:45We're not moving in there.
05:46Grandpa's here.
05:47Hey, everybody.
05:49Are you still dealing emotionally with that one time you got that creepy letter?
05:55Well, Grandpa, take a look at this one letter that we got this one time.
05:59Oh, yeah.
05:59A couple months ago.
06:01Happens every time I come over here, you talk about that.
06:03Take a look at it.
06:04Yeah, they never moved into the house.
06:05They never moved in.
06:06They thought it would be unsafe to move their family in there.
06:09One letter.
06:10Never moved in.
06:11Do you remember that time you almost moved into that house?
06:14Yeah, look at the letter.
06:15This is why we did it.
06:17That letter.
06:19The Watcher.
06:21I'm not watching that.
06:23Yeah, wow.
06:24We just blown up the hottest trending series on Netflix.
06:27The Watcher.
06:28The Watcher.
06:28We almost bought that house!
06:32Now, technically, I think you did, but you just never moved into it.
06:36But then we got that creepy letter!
06:38That one time.
06:39You moved in with your parents instead.
06:42Get out of here!
06:43It was just one letter!
06:45Grow up!
06:46God!
06:47How long are you going to be freaking out about it?
06:50I'll tell you this.
06:51There's a letter, for God's sakes.
06:52The guy's not even technologically savvy.
06:55I swear to God, I wish they'd leave.
06:57I'm thinking of killing them.
06:59I'm thinking of writing them a creepy letter.
07:01See if I can get them out of here.
07:02Oh, that's a great idea, honey.
07:03That's the twist.
07:04I'm the writer of the letter.
07:06Grandpa Watcher?
07:08Yeah.
07:09Signed, Grandpa.
07:13Oops!
07:14Oh, I screwed it up!
07:17There you go.
07:18Your reason not to watch The Watcher.
07:20Oh, man.
07:21That's a real letdown.
07:23Yeah.
07:24Because you just know it's honestly 98% fake.
07:29Yes.
07:29Yes.
