Tim: I work here :)
Jon: ????!?!????
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 :)
Martin : Do you want a nice cup of tea?
John : EVIL !!
Martin : Right, no tea then ?
I read the last line in Martin’s voice and everything 😭😭😭
LOLLL
Martin: you want a cuppa?
John: BACK DEMON🤺I SAID BACK🤺
Martin: 👁️👄👁️👍
"get OUT of my ROOM mom!! NO i don't want your shitty TEA can't you see im RECORDING!!!!!" -jon
Sweet home alabama
Lmao she's sounds like a cringy youtuber teen x)
I'm half-expecting something horrible to happen soon now, like idk, there being a fire in the institute or whatever. And while Not-Sasha can be clearly heard cackling in the background and messing around with a gas can, Jon would probably still be like "Hmm, that Martin fella's been acting strange recently. Brought me heart-shaped cookies and asked me out for coffee today. I sHoUlD kEeP aN eYe On HiM."
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
"he tried to scream but that just gave them more places to drink from" made me shiver
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.
AND NOW he’s paranoid about Tim?? Is he just gonna go down the list until he finds something suspicious?
Actually. That’s not a bad idea.
Because eventually he would get to not-Sasha.
"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.
Someone: doing his job, living his live or god forbid is nice
John: murder! murder!
Not-sasha: talking like a robot
John: yep everything alright here nothing to worry about
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.
Jon is getting more and more paranoid. It's distressing and funny at the same time
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
As a gay male the real horror is Jon being so thick to Martin...
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...
sometimes i forget that jon narrates these, and i think "oh wow, they must have been hit hard by this, you can hear the pain in their voice and it definitely sounds like they have difficulty talking about it" and then im like oh wait...
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
👁️👁️
Martin: *Is literally the most normal boy, and acts perfectly considerate*
Jon, spiraling into madness over his corkboard: WHAT IS HE PLOTTING?!?
martin is a useless gay and i love him and wish him the best
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.
God. My name IS Martin and GODDAMNIT WHY IS HE SO MUCH LIKE MEEE. I, too, often fall for overstrung and emotional stunted men. :(
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?
Martin is legitimately worried for Jon and it's kILLING ME HEARING HIM SLOWLY UNRAVEL LIKE THIS HHHHHH
"I need to find a better place to do these recordings"
Jon, you have a house, do you not!? It's safer to do them there
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
Just imagine falling asleep to one of these stories and dreaming about them because you can hear it playing while you sleep.
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
idk why but the fact that he calls the mosquitos mozzies is so cute to me
same
'Mozzie' is Australian slang for mosquito.
@@michaelbarry1651and British! Cute name - demon motherfuckers
Jon: He's an anthropologist why is is here
Me: You just solved the mystery
as an anthropologist this part made me cackle
Literally
The first time I listened to this, I assumed that Neil had traded his syringe to Salesa in exchange for a paranormal artifact to help with the research, but it ended up cursing him.
Now on the second listen, it occurs to me that the syringe Thomas described as Neil's totem was exactly that; the forces of disease always had it out for Neil because of his line of work, and Snow's syringe was acting as a protective talisman keeping them at bay. And as soon as he sold it for funding and lost that protection... it was open season on the good doctor :(
Spoiler:
Yeah. The Camera shows that some artifacts block or negate the entities affects.
martin: hey do you want some tea
jon furiously adding to his notes: “martin has now offered me TEA? could it be an acronym?? is it poisoned?? what is going on here what is he plotting….”
My question is... How does Martin know what Tim’s house looks like?
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 🤷🏻♀️
What I have learned so far: If there's something spooky that can't just follow you home, you're getting invited to Soho
Wait, blood type O-? Who else had that?! I remember that VERY SPECIFIC TYPE... was it the immortal man?
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.
Martin: fancy a cuppa
Jon: I am beset. From every corner the darkness hounds me relentlessly
"ConFiDenTiAl FiLes"
Please tell me he isnt going to go down to the tunnels to record.
Oh god dang it, starting to see how Gertrude got trapped down there.
I always check the credits and when I see Martin's name I am always like awwwwww yeah
I thought I was the only one who did this
Six foot seven???? Jesus Christ
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"
Isn't King's college where the dude from human anatomy worked?
My dad's a virologist, and he got really excited when i told him about this episode.
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
maybe this podcast makes me see connections where there arent any, but Jon mentionned that the blood in the hemoglobish at the end was O negative. But didnt he talked about some O negative blood previously ? like, at the end of season 1 i think ? i know there are only like 8 blood types, but the fact that it's explicitely said in both case... i cant help but notice
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
Ignoring all important happenstance, O-negative blood is the only blood type that has been mentioned so far throughout the episodes and as an O-negative I am feel distinctly attacked
Hemoglobish... heh heh
13:53
Neil:*doing his job*
Mosquitos: imma ruin this man's whole career
Dang it, Jon! Let Martin and Tim help you! Not Sasha, though. Be as suspicious of her as you like.
Not!Sasha, though.
This is my first time going through this series, and goddamnit Jon better realize what a precious cinnamon roll Martin is and become the best power gay couple ever.
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?
I'd probably have found this statement way upsetting after going through Prentiss's attack. There are way too many parallels. Maybe Jon's new focus has pushed the trauma aside.
I've gotten used to hearing "end recording"
And then I wait for a moment and then I'm just like ah- then he's like "supplemental recording" and I'm just like THERES our paranoid boy
I'll take that tea, Martin
Sketchy antiques dealer, huh...?
Edit: Tim worked at a publishing house? Maybe he ran into a Leitner book and wanted to do something. Also, Jon's mention of needing to find some place better to record makes me wonder if that's why Gertrude was down in the tunnels with all those tapes. Storing away the ones she felt were most pertinent, in the place that she recorded them?
HMMMMMMM wonder who that is :P
@@albuseisenhorn3385 WHO INDEED. XD
You know, Jon kinda reminds me of Jack Crawford from Hannibal in these post-statement scenes. He's trying, he really is, but he keeps going after everyone but the (to the informed audience) clear suspects because of his drive to catch his golden ticket of information which represents the murderer he is after and just lets himself feed the paranoia which takes him further and further from the truth and right into the welcoming arms of danger.
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)
Jon: Martin and Tim are so suspicious and I don’t trust them >:(
Not Sasha: :)
Somoan? The antique dealer with the vase and the organ boxes.
Mikhail Silesia...
god the idea of those mosquitos....... GROSS GOD
Im really interested in the syringe, its probably not of much importance to the main plot but old victorian syringes are so fancy looking and can actually fetch quite a price (according to my father) and Ive taken quite a liking to fancy, old things ever since quarantine and the buyer could be Mikhail Silesia maybe?
Just have some salt, hammer, lighter fluid and a lighter
(salt for ghosts, the rest for the destruction of a cursed item)
I like how he's Thomas Neill working with Neil Thompson
"Did- Did you still want that tea?"
Oh...oh Martin. You sweet, sweet summer child
jon when people just enjoy doing their job: what INSANITY is this he MUST be plotting
This one scares me infinitely more than any spider or worm could
Same these dudes can fly and are literally designed to suck blood
so was the syringe keeping the mosquitoes in check somehow? was it something in the hemoglobish that made them go ballistic? we need answers damnit!!!
Such a bloody creepy situation... Didn’t need any help with strong dislike for mosquitos, but here I am.
Martin is baby how dare u
After I finished watching this I went on a walk and saw like 50 mosquitos in one spot and fucking ran back home
As soon as I saw the description, I get really excited. I lived in Uganda for a while and everyone talked about malaria like it was the flu. Without listening, I’m going to hope that this has to do with the vampire jumping spider that only lived in my area of Uganda. I never saw one but I always wanted to - scientists are trying to use them in malaria control because they prefer mosquitoes that have consumed blood recently!
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 🙃
THEY ALL NEED THERAPY AND A LOT OF IT
When did the king of the North become a physician
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
this is a true chiller!!!
My period hit while listening to this I-☠☠
oh rip
Martin is quickly becoming my favorite character.
Martin needs to be protected at all costs.
Fun fact, mosquitos are actually pollinators with some sub species pollinating almost as much as bees themselves. Also, getting rid of them would have an affect on frogs, fish, birds, bears, and ultimately humans
This episode left me all nostalgic- my late father was 'in' tropical medicine and back in the 60s & 70s worked for a long spell on malaria. Brought back happy memories of my parents (my mother had been in the same line before marriage and motherhood) chatting over dinner about the effects of the disease and what could be done that didn't involve pouring DDT or paraffin over every water source in the tropics. My father even had his own lab. at home and I was allowed to 'help' make up slides and look through the microscope-under strict supervision as I was VERY young. I also got to read his textbooks, many of which had thrilling pictures (I thought then) of sufferers from all sorts of other interesting diseases and parasites- including one of a doctor pulling a large worm out of someone's arm by winding it round a stick..... And his lab coats were ALWAYS spotless. I think it was expected back then.
ffs, Martin can you knock? Lol!
Someone being nice to Jon: "That's suspicious, I'm sure they're up to no good"
I googled how many mosquitoes it would take to drain a human and the results said between two hundred thousand and two million, however you would probably go out to anemic shock long before you got mummified
I think it was the disease bacteria that caused the sudden shock.
Martin is so sweet,,, love him
in my humble opinion, Flesh/Corruption is one of the nastiest combos you can have, at least on a physical level
i should not have tried to eat breakfast while listening to this.
I was eating a bowl of icecream! I did _not_ enjoy it as much as I normally would have.
Honestly if I was in Tim's position then found I could get a decent wage in an institute I'd have gone for it. Nice cushy job, slow pace, only occasionally needing to run errands. After that Jane incident I'd not be inclined to leave either, purely because at that point why leave? You're a target either way, that deep in, so may as well know what you have to contest with.
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?😂
For a sec a 12:25 I went
"...LARSON?!"
And then remembered that I was thinking of GARY Larson lmao
If that snow guy had such an important role in fighting malaria, maybe that made him an enemy of mosquitoes/disease demon/god thing.
I feel like the syringe was a protective talisman that prevented the holder from being attacked by the disease demon thing.
As the Snow guy's descendant and directly working on research against the spread of malaria and other diseases this made him a pretty big target.
Maybe that's why it was worth so much.
Maybe the disease demon or it's minions or allies were the ones who bought it off him so they could take him out for good.
Heck, maybe they even had a hand in his money troubles.
Also believe the one controlling the mosquitos was also involved in that nursing home mess.
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.
I love that they called it "Hemoglobish" that is hilarious
I'm crying over how paranoid he is of Tim Omg
I love Martin so much he is such a sweetheart. Also he gives transmasc vibes for some reason, so thats my headcanon
Oh, Jon... you won't like the answer to why Tim and Martin haven't left yet when you find out.
Ha ha! Quarantine! I remember a time when that word didn't always stick out like a sore thumb.
Jon is just gonna cycle through every employee until he reached the correct conclusion.
18:48
Jon: no, thank you martin
Subtitles: no thank you mom
15:57- FUKICING BASED JON MOMENT
Jon when he finds someone living a happy healthy life (they have to be plotting his murder)
Also poor martin
Alright- first of all…. We’ve heard of hemoglobish before… I can’t remember where though.
Secondly… is Neil actually John Snow but he cheated death?
ALSO! Anyone else thought that he was trying to make something that would attract vampires/feed vampires as a deathless food source?
That is unsettling... 👀
The mosquito flying around me as i listen to this: :)
hearing them describe weather that is considered cold to where i live as incredibly hot is very funny to me
I love how I came here for the horror and stayed for the gay.
Like, how is Jon so alert to EVERYTHING and not realise the guy has a giggly crush on him
Jon: I don't understand. Why would anyone work for us?...Unless....Murder?
Him: I’m 6’7
Me: oh fr fr fr?
This episode is awful because my favorite season is summer and I HATE mosquitoes. I don't have a phobia but I'm still really scared of getting a disease from them. It's always such an awful time when I'm excited about summer but am covered in mosquito bites from head to toe, irritated af and scared that I'm gonna die m
m'laria
Is this the second or third time the date may 30th has shown up?
If he’s moved on from directly investigating Martin in favour of looking into Tim, we can only hope he’ll see nothing he considers overly suspicious and continue on to investigate Sasha-or, I should say, Not!Sasha. I hope he does so soon, every second that I know she’s just wandering about the Institute freely makes my skin crawl at all the possibilities of damage she (it?) could do…
5:49
Jon Snoooouuuuuuuuhhhhhhh
Anyone else seen Extra History's series on John Snow?
Why?
th-cam.com/video/TLpzHHbFrHY/w-d-xo.html
I'm getting more and more convinced that Salesa is antique's Leitner...
He said the guy was Simoan. That sounds like Selasa, from the Piecemeal and Lost and Found episodes. Does he deal in artefacts? Does he maybe have some connection to the delivery van drivers?
Selasa is a fun fella, yes he does deal with artefacts and his vibes are immaculate
“Death by misadventure”
Salecia's rumours make him sounds like a classic Indiana jones type😂
HEMOGLOB-ISH.
I want it.
It’s my first time listening to all these and I keep trying to listen to these at night in my bed to get in the spooky mood but Jon’s voice is so calming/relaxing I keep falling asleep to him and I find out at least 2 more episodes have played during my slumber.
Me too lol
