Send us Debrief Q’s here!
(Ryan) What is the best moment in the series we’ve seen yet?
(Shane) if you could ditch Ryan at a place in this mystery series where would you ditch him?
I don’t know if this will count as a question that works, but I’m eating ice creme and popcorn while watching, so what is you guys favourite type of ice creme and popcorn?
You guys gonna redo any past cases from that certain other channel or is it all new ones planned?
Could this have just simply been a disintegrated meteor that no one has found reminates of?
Do you guys ever think you’ll make more episodes, and film them at that place if possible??
The constant acknowledgment of Ryan’s betrayal of the Professor across shows is just amazing every time
Facts
He knows what he did.
Long live the lore! And the professor! 🍻
It’s amazing across every timeline
Wait, where was it acknowledged in this episode? I must have missed it.
ryan presents like a detective while shane presents like a professor fr its a vibe
Spot on!
And their respective styles suit them so well!
I wish Shane was my teacher
… a puppet professor perhaps??
Fr it is a vibe
who could have ever guessed that shane’s episode would be infinitely more chaotic than ryan’s??
Hot Daga, Puppet History, and that episode where shane tore the head off an obviously haunted puppet would have been a good basis.
Absolutely loving how the shadows on Shane make him look like he’s wearing really short shorts the entire time
I cannot unsee it anymore… 😭😭
Hahaha I noticed this to it’s a look
Help I can’t unsee it 😂
tysm for pointing this out i had on captions so i didn’t notice and this is truly a spot on description
😅 I noticed that too! 😅
When Shane did the bit about the jar of peanut butter I had to INSTANTLY smash the like button and come here to tell you that this episode is genius and I love it.
I paused the video snd added peanut butter to my grocery list! 😅 Totally forgot I needed it until Shane mentioned it!
That part made me chuckle out louddddd.
I’m surprised Shane didn’t mention what I feel like is the most probable theory of all: That the meteor exploded in the air just above the epicenter, similarly to the way the nuclear bombs exploded at Nagasaki and Hiroshima. That explains why there’s no impact crater and why the trees at the center were left debarked but standing. Again, similar to how trees at the epicenter of the nuclear blasts were left. To me, the airburst theory has always seemed like the most likely explanation for the event.
Oo that is clever
That’s what I was thinking but how does an asteroid just explode? Break off into little pieces sure but not explode
I agree. And the Chelyabinsk meteor, which we have video of exploding over Russia, is pretty good evidence that it at least is something that can happen.
@Fruity Koala If the meteor had a lot of ice in it, the heat from passing through the atmosphere could have caused it to flash vaporize, exploding the meteor like an overpressurized water boiler.
I was thinking about this the entire time. They even mentioned that it broke up and never hit the ground. There are just so many pointers to this theory.
Shane’s such a great presenter. It’s crazy that we haven’t seen him present anything since Ruining History.
He should collab with the Professor some day.
I would love for them to reboot Ruining History. One of my faves during their Buzzfeed tenure
@Runs w/ Scissors i have always thought that puppet history is ruining history 2.0
oh this made me chuckle
I’m convinced they are the same person. Have you ever seen them in the same room together?!
@Brad Miller Well one’s a 1 foot tall puppet and the other is a 6 foot 4 giant, so I’m pretty sure not the same person
I love how different Ryan and Shanes energy’s are in the presenter role
The directing and camerawork in this is fantastic! When Shane’s not addressing the camera, it feels like a TV show where Ryan and Shane are playing characters of themselves… I dig it. 👍
