As usual, the story is true. 13 00:00:58,620 --> 00:01:02,720 Only the commentary has been changed to make it even odder. 14 00:01:03,140 --> 00:01:07,160 When police burst into the home of a Santa Rosa, California man, 15 00:01:07,340 --> 00:01:10,140 they encountered a legitimate crime scene. 16 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:18,319 One that could only be described as horrific. Well, I suppose you could also describe it as ghastly. 17 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,040 Oh, and hideous. That's pretty good. and uh 18 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,099 grizzly horrid did i say that one oh and 19 00:01:25,099 --> 00:01:32,300 what about what's that what story right the police entering that appalling crime 20 00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:38,740 scene found bodies everywhere with their heads removed and lined up in rows 21 00:01:38,740 --> 00:01:43,180 there was an arm over there a leg under the couch and yet. 22 00:01:44,260 --> 00:01:47,620 No blood. Was this the work of a vampire? 23 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,980 Because that would be a pretty great tie-in with the Halloween theme. 24 00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:57,860 Sadly, no. The individual behind this gruesome scene was an everyday thief who 25 00:01:57,860 --> 00:02:01,120 had been under surveillance by authorities for almost a month. 26 00:02:01,380 --> 00:02:05,060 And those headless bodies, or bodiless heads? 27 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:13,480 Those were Lego minifigures, or minifigs, to save a whopping one syllable. 28 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,240 This was one crime scene you wouldn't want to enter in your bare feet. 29 00:02:18,460 --> 00:02:23,600 During the raid, officers found literally tens of thousands of loose Lego pieces 30 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,360 and minifig characters, along with unopened boxes. 31 00:02:27,660 --> 00:02:32,440 The man had allegedly directed others to steal Lego sets from stores so he could 32 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,180 resell the pieces online at a huge markup. 33 00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:38,780 Well, if they were stolen, I guess a penny would be a huge markup, 34 00:02:38,820 --> 00:02:41,540 but I think he was charging a bit more than that. 35 00:02:41,699 --> 00:02:46,460 To anyone who buys Legos, this crime almost makes some kind of twisted sense. 36 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,900 Collectors are willing to pay hundreds, if not thousands, for rare sets. 37 00:02:51,340 --> 00:02:56,280 Detectives estimate they recovered about $6,000 worth of Legos from the house, 38 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,560 an amount serious Lego maniacs refer to as a modest entry-level collection. 39 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:08,280 And now, let's celebrate 20 years of comedy forecast with this classic clip 40 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,260 In an episode released in 2018, 41 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,860 a band of evildoers has assembled at the hideout of evil mastermind Hyperloop 42 00:03:16,860 --> 00:03:21,700 The mega-villain is hatching a plan to take his revenge against the 4K Kid, 43 00:03:22,020 --> 00:03:25,960 the very high definition of a superhero Here's a clip. 44 00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:33,160 Oh, that overactive Boy Scout thought he could defeat me, Hyperloop? Ha! 45 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,480 I laugh. Ha! Ha! 46 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:45,100 I assure you, fellow felons, with your help, we will crush the 4K kid once and for all. 47 00:03:45,460 --> 00:03:47,880 Ha! Ha! Ha! 48 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:53,600 After all, how can I lose with such delightful delinquents by my side? 49 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,480 My dear Tweet Storm. 50 00:03:56,860 --> 00:04:00,260 Here. The ever-helpful Target Run. 51 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:06,180 Yo, that's me. Hey, by the way, do you need anything while I'm out? 52 00:04:06,380 --> 00:04:14,320 And our newest supervillain, who comes highly recommended by the evildoer placement agency, Emoji. 53 00:04:15,100 --> 00:04:16,380 Introduce yourself. 54 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:23,220 What's that? What? That drawin' that popped up over his head. 55 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,940 I'm not sure. Emoji, what is that? 56 00:04:28,060 --> 00:04:32,980 Okay, now it's a... what? A tree? A piece of broccoli? 57 00:04:33,380 --> 00:04:39,160 Well, we'll figure that out later. Yeah, enough with the speeches. What is your plan? 58 00:04:39,540 --> 00:04:42,279 Always quick to get to the point, eh, Tweet Storm? 59 00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:44,940 Must be those 280 characters. 60 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:53,100 Here is my plan. I intend to lure the 4K Kid into a trap so deadly, 61 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:59,140 so horrific, that he will literally fade and die. 62 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:06,980 A vat of acid? A frozen lake? Or whatever a carousel horse means? 63 00:05:07,399 --> 00:05:11,260 Oh, those are all delightful guesses, but so mundane. 64 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:24,399 A carousel horse is mundane? I, Hyperloop, intend to trap the 4K kid in the Friend Zone. 65 00:05:27,330 --> 00:05:31,649 How are you going to do that? Ah-ha! Simplicity itself! 66 00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:35,690 We will set up a distress beacon inside the zone. 67 00:05:35,750 --> 00:05:41,510 When the 4K Kid flies in to answer the calls, he will be trapped. 68 00:05:41,589 --> 00:05:46,070 Because as we know, the friend zone zaps all your powers. 69 00:05:46,589 --> 00:05:51,410 That's great and all, but the friend zone is on the other side of the great live stream. 70 00:05:52,010 --> 00:05:58,149 He can fly there, but we can't. Yeah, and you can't swim across the live stream. 71 00:05:58,290 --> 00:06:02,029 The uneven rate and buffering will rip you apart. 72 00:06:02,350 --> 00:06:04,630 No problem. No problem. 73 00:06:05,170 --> 00:06:10,470 We are going to fly there too. Fly? Like in a plane? 74 00:06:10,950 --> 00:06:17,850 Oh, that's great. Where is it? Where is it? Oh, my dear Tweetstorm, you're standing in it. 75 00:06:18,170 --> 00:06:23,070 I hate to burst your bubble, but this is just an abandoned warehouse on the 76 00:06:23,070 --> 00:06:31,310 edge of town. You are correct, until I press this button and put it in airplane mode. 77 00:06:44,310 --> 00:06:47,470 That about wraps it up for today's Odd News Pack. 78 00:06:47,690 --> 00:06:51,330 But first, a shout out to the comedy4cast Patreon patrons, 79 00:06:51,330 --> 00:06:56,410 including our producer-level patrons Paul Barre from the A Window to the Magic 80 00:06:56,410 --> 00:07:01,590 podcast and Kirby Bartlett-Sloan from the 20-megabyte Doctor Who podcast. 81 00:07:02,090 --> 00:07:03,710 You too can support comedy4cast 82 00:07:04,270 --> 00:07:08,890 and get episodes before everyone else for as little as $2 a month. 83 00:07:09,230 --> 00:07:15,330 Just search for comedy4cast all one word with the number 4, on Patreon.com. 84 00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:22,350 Script, voices, and original music by me, Clinton Alvord.
