Martin: I saw a bird on the trip over here. :D Jon: ????????!!!!?????????? D:

Not!Sasha: you’re all doomed✨💅✨ Jon: hello fellow coworker you are the only normal one you definitely didn’t replace my memories of your original corporeal form :)

I read the last line in Martin’s voice and everything 😭😭😭

LOLLL

he tried to scream but his head was full of *mosquitos*

I visibly gagged after that line, this podcast is so good at making you cringe even when not describing things in acute detail. Just goes to show how good the writing is

I accidentally fell asleep to this and the only worse dream I’ve had was falling asleep to squirm

right? it reminds me of the book "hatchet", though that was much more in-depth on the description. death by swarm is horrifying.

LMAO! "When we went out to coffee he grabbed my hand... he was smiling a lot, too. hE'S dEfiNiTeLy pLOTtiNg!1!!1!1"

@@jadynnkotch1833 "Now he wants to go to dinner and a movie, this may be an attempt to execute whatever he's been plotting in the dark, but I'll go if it means to know what he's been up to."

XDD Love you guys

@@jadynnkotch1833 snowbaz energy

@@mvoss2382 LMAO FOR REAL xD

Very true

I'm a straight female, please explain

Haha dummy thick

@@Catnip_Noob sounds a lot like Martin might have a crush on John, but John's mind goes "affection? Looking out for my health and talking to me? Sounds suspicious.. probably trying to kill me"

As a straight male, that went completely over my head, too. Poor Martin...

yeah its like "omfg jon pls ):" and "lmao jon youre dumb" at the same time

it is, but i also can't help but sympathize with him. I kinda know how being paranoid about something unseen or unknown is, due to anxiety

Dude it really is but what makes it more funny is I also have really bad paranoia so I know exactly how this feels being suspicious of everyone and everything around you

Sweet home alabama

Lmao she's sounds like a cringy youtuber teen x)

Somewhat surprisingly, we hear that a lot.

The tenor of Jon's voice is relaxing to listen to. It's soothing and nice to lie down, close my eyes, and take in. The content matter, slightly less good for setting up in bed at night and falling asleep to, 100% agreed

Ohh, I love listening to these stories while falling asleep. Only horror stories I can do it with, because they don't use obnoxiously loud and overblown music to help the horror along.

I fell asleep to one a while ago and I dreamed about an unreasonable amount of teeth

It's great to fall asleep to until you get towards the end of season 1

so the thing with the Not _ entities is that no one can tell the difference - they are now the individual they replaced and all previous knowledge is replaced by the new entity

​@@albuseisenhorn3385 that's the worst part. You'd only know the difference if you saw them overtake, like with Not Graham

​@ot7biasedmashups The NotThem always leaves one person that realizes the original person has been replaced so it can feed of their fear. Spoiler: Jon's extreme paranoia is actually being caused/exacerbated by the NotSasha's presence along with his becoming an avatar.

"Supplemental: It is clear to me now that _all_ of my co-workers are conspiring to kill me. Except Sasha. Sasha is okay."

@@RelativelyBest Spoilers ~ The infuriating thing is that is exactly what he did.

To be fair, that's the point of paranoia. You latch onto anything that might seem off, or not.

@@samtigerlilly1003 Are you effing with me? Come on, Jon! Of all the times you choose not to be a skeptic! There has to be a paranormal reason that suspicion just flies over Not-Sasha😂

@@amphitritemists4595 I mean, given that she was seemingly replaced by the same table as Not-Graham, yeah, probably.

he's a very good voice actor

Love your pfp. Heh! Froggy ｡^‿^｡

@@Thisone109 Am a froggie too Froggie supermacy 🛐 🐸

it's been the opposite for me, I'm constantly wondering "john wouldn't really read these like that' and now that the magnus protocol is more a collage style it feels like it makes more sense

👁️👁️

He might not be allowed to bring the statements out of the archive/university. Or doesn't want to. More risk of them getting lost or damaged.

​@@DunedienAnd more risk of luring entities to his house

There's also some convenient terrifying tunnels available!

I think the thought of doing the recordings outside of the Magnus Institute doesn't occur to him for plot reasons.

Also, if he feels like he's being watched whenever he's recording these, I really don't blame him not wanting to take that home with him

you've been assigned martin kin by fate itself congrats

RIP dude

kin assignment

Good news it'll get better before it gets oh so much worse ○|￣|_

Do you like spiders, make wonderful tea and had problems with worms as well?

same

'Mozzie' is Australian slang for mosquito.

​@@michaelbarry1651and British! Cute name - demon motherfuckers

Hadn't considered that, but now that I have may I suggest: they're just bros, they're buds! Pals! They seem to be fairly similar personality wise and even if they weren't from what I've seen of Martin I feel like he'd just befriend ppl left and right, Martin and Tim play smash bros together on weekends

Maybe when Tim started he invited his coworkers over for a bbq or smtg because he seems like a person who would do that but I doubt Jon would’ve shown up

Maybe they hang out and do jigsaws?

the replies: "it's just guys being pals!!"

I figured Martin saw the picture of Tim and a random picture of a house so he just guessed 🤷🏻‍♀️

as an anthropologist this part made me cackle

Literally

I love how absolutely clueless Jon is about it. Just oblivious. Bless them both

lol i scrolled down to say this. he is absolutely baby and i love him with my whole heart

"did you want that tea" god i fuckign love him

“Wait, why do you have pictures of his house-“ “UHHH RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATION STUFF, ILLEGAL FOR YOU TO SEE”

Martin is the best Hufflepuff and I will fight anyone who calls him useless.

yep! it was him

THATS WHY THERE WERE ALL THE DISEASES CUZ HE COULDNT DIE FROM THEM

@@carianawaters6425 wait which immortal man ? With O-

@@saurabhsharma6939 the guy from Cheating Death

@@carianawaters6425 I think that was the same guy as from section 31, who tried to kill himself, too.

Thought the same thing.

@@DrMDHyde Glad I'm not the only one 😂

I know two people that height. A classmate and an uncle who’s actually more like 6’10

Me, who has read too many wattpad werewolf stories: you ain't seen nothing yet.

My best friend in HS married a man who is 6'5"

Oh god dang it, starting to see how Gertrude got trapped down there.

I thought I was the only one who did this

Spoiler: Yeah. The Camera shows that some artifacts block or negate the entities affects.

Oh and is it accurate ? I mean the research part

@@macabrecitrus2127 He's listening to the series now (very slowly), so I'll let you know when he reaches that episode. I can say that he LOVED "Anatomy Class" though.

@@rosemarycat5 Aw that's nice that he liked it ! Thanks a lot for answering :)

@@macabrecitrus2127 Update! He has now listened to this episode! We listened together, and I took note of reactions to report back (with his permission of course). He's been hyped for this episode. His reactions goeth thusly: - He'd like me to note that malaria is a bacteria not a virus, to be clear - Any time I mention malaria, he goes, "Oh, I love malaria!" - "regarding his experiences working in malarial research" --> "i like it already" - "he wore a white lab coat, and it was always immaculate." -- *dubious expression* - "John Snow" -- "Ooh cholera! The Broadstreet pump!" - [explanation of John Snow a minute later] -- *enthusiastic nodding and gestures* - He really liked the inclusion of John Snow - Intrigued by the return of Salesa - "Not just malaria though, but yellow fever, hepatitis B and signs of cholera." -- *excited look* - intrigued by the relationship between the mosquitos and the other ailments like yellow fever ("for which Max Theiler won the Nobel prize") - liked the lab environment - liked the funding stuff with the grants So there you have it! haha

@@rosemarycat5 Aw thank you, that's so nice of you ! And thanks to your dad too :D His reactions are great haha

That was the blood type on the person who claimed immortality right

@@raspberryphoenix8660 Thank you! I do vaguely remember that. I'll add it to my notes.

It was the guy who won a game against death

Mikhail Silesia...

Not!Sasha, though.

Jack was more oblivious lol. It was like "Hm, my dear friend Cannibal Lecter invited me for dinner, how nice. The menu is a bunch of weird organ meats. Ah and several dead people were found without theirs the other day. Pure coincidence"

the spectrum of “oh my gosh you are so oblivious ” Johnathan Sims(paranoid, weird little creature, awful gaydar)-----Jack Crawford (Doesn’t connect dots. silly goofy)

HMMMMMMM wonder who that is :P

@@albuseisenhorn3385 WHO INDEED. XD

Just have some salt, hammer, lighter fluid and a lighter (salt for ghosts, the rest for the destruction of a cursed item)

Same these dudes can fly and are literally designed to suck blood

Jon’s just gotta open his bloody eyes first

@@karenlinares7541 oh no. The wording

so how are you feeling about season 5 friend

How are you feeling now, buddy?

Gonna be honest the idea of a vampire jumping spider is literally more horrifying than anything I've heard in this podcast ☹

Wow that's so interesting! And, I admit, it would have made for a good story xD Sadly, the only spiders we've got here are, well, Spiders.

yeah it's so strange! me and my family got dengue once and it just feels like another fever except u stay at the hospital a couple nights and u feel really lucky you're alive

@@ktmac8@cassiebethgriffith Well, I had to look this up. Evarcha culicivora is the Latin name and they are about 5mm, incapable of biting through human skin, so I think we're safe. They LOVE human blood though, and specialize in hunting fed mosquitoes! They are the only animal known to hunt based on what the prey has fed on. So, not vampire spiders, but vampire HUNTER spiders ha ha 🙃

I first heard about this Jon in Extra Credit's video about the epidemic he helped cure (cholera I think?). Lots of jokes were made. Fortunately for humanity, he did know a thing or two.

Well he never wanted to be a king soooo he became a physician with the wildlings

Spoiler: Don't know what they're all complaining about. The Magnus Institute seems to pay pretty well for an academic job. Gurenteed job security (if you're in the archives😅). They seem to have a pretty forgiving sick/absences policy and excellent private insurance if Jon's 6-month stay in a private hospital room is anything to go by. Where do I send my CV?😂

oh rip

I was eating a bowl of icecream! I did _not_ enjoy it as much as I normally would have.

I think it was the disease bacteria that caused the sudden shock.

Dr. John Snow is considered the father of epidemiology for his work on tracking the vector of a cholera outbreak in London. He was one of the early proponents of germ theory and helped develop modern public health and sanitation; as well as, championing medical hygiene (starilization and washing of hands). He never did any research related to malaria or tropical diseases.

@@melissaharris3389 Thank you for the clarification on real world facts. I probably misheard something in the episode.

Selasa is a fun fella, yes he does deal with artefacts and his vibes are immaculate

Why?
