Peter: Let me see what you have
Martin: a KNIFE!
Peter: No!!
I imagine he happened to have a butterknife on his desk and was brandishing it at Peter
THATS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT BAHAHA
It's the corkscrew in mine.
@@Ghostrecall_M The bloody corkscrew 😂😂😂
"So your advice would be, 'less murder.'"
That has always led to my best experiences.
Really? Has been rather bland for me...
To each their own I guess. Personally I rather like murder, and find that it adds a healthy spice to any workplace environment.
Huh, well you know My Chemical Romance told me to kill all my friends, so I'll have to sit on this and figure out who has the best advice. Maybe I should give both a try, and see which is better...
@valdamirlebanon4508 take my like and get out of here
This is kind of cute, the ghost just wanted to watch a play and then it got so excited about the guys monologue it followed him to ask for an autograph, and invited all it's friends so they could watch too.
@@sabrinasutter115 Well, he does sound like the type to be mean to his devoted fans
Oh god it's the anatomy students all over again 😂
@@Thisone109 O H N O
N O N O N O NOoOOOooO
ok well when you put it like that its adorable
That or it's some sort of power trying to show him that he doesn't really want to be alone. He talks so much about how he avoids people and likes being "alone" on stage, but when he's _truly_ alone it scares him.
For all of his skittishness ("I have a KNIFE!") Martin does adjust pretty quickly to all kinds of things
Also: "Less murder, then? A good observation, and I thank you for it"
Like the end of the world
@@utardaheidinn9048 that would never happen..heh.. Heh.. Heh ∩˙▿˙∩
And then immediately gets called out for it by Peter
"So, your advice would be 'less murder'?" is the funniest thing-"No, no, it’s a good observation, I thank you for it." "You’re wel…come…" comes very, very close.
I just love to imagine Martin trying to pull out his knife and accidentally pulling out the corkscrew.
That is cannon you can't change my mind
Yes.
He probably is referring to the corkscrew
I’ve got-
*don’t say the corkscrew!*
-a knife!
This is canon
"Martin, do I scare you?"
"yES-"
I mean yeah mood.
Broke my heart 😭🫶
"Was he... *woohoooohooooo* ?"
God I love Basira
Me too
I CRACKED UP. Hilarious.
"A bit, yeah" was also a very funny response
she's a treasure
It's the closest to happy I've ever heard her 😄😄
Peter Lukas be like "gimme feedback from your boss so I can think about my own leadership, please" and his conclusion is "less murder = better boss".
It's a good conclusion. This man tries to improve his management, I appreciate
Peter: What are you looking for in a boss?
Martin: Considerably less murder.
Peter: Hmm, never thought of that.✍Less✍murder✍New✍apprentice✍ 😀
Martin being polite to a terrifying possibly murderous thing is a big mood
It's the fawn response.
Martin: DONT COME CLOSER. I HAVE A KNIFE AND IM NOT AFRAID TO STAB MYSELF
lmao thank you
Pretty much in character for Martin, to be honest 🤣
Honestly I could see Martin making it to the end of all this by virtue of just being too damn polite, earnest, and awkwardly helpful that the entities and monsters just wouldn't bother hurting him.
I was hoping for that too, but on last seasons Q&A someone asked if Martin was going to be okay and I expected Jonathan to say that that was a spoiler or "yeah I mean" BUT he flat out said "no." and then clarified that none of them are going to be okay :( WHY do you make such LIKABLE CHARACTERS for a HORROR podcast, Jonathan Sims??? do you enjoy our despair
@@TheJuliana0901 hopefully they'll be okay physically but be fucked up mentally. Not good but at least they've got a chance to live on

He is alive but not well
@@someoneawesome8717 More S P O I L E R
I mean, are they alive?
I just love Peter Lukas' voice and his chipper demeanor, it's totally different from what I expected based on the Boatswain statement. Also he sounded genuinely excited to meet the office? And upset it turned out to be just Elias' prank?? (Also wtf Elias, get a better sense of humor.) Idk, it's just kind of funny the an avatar of the Lonely is so friendly and charismatic.
take it from someone who dwelled in the real life version for a long time, it either consumes you or you become happy to get any interaction. Peter is probably on the line of simply happy to be acknowledged....though as we see later, he really can't deal with anyone who knows that same void. Which is hilarious.
18:16 “I have a meeting to get to, and a few things to tell Elias to his face about wasting both our time.”
I think another divorce is on the horizon, lads.
Also, the idea of Elias sat at his desk grinning like a pumpkin because he’s inflicted social anxiety on people is hilarious. As is Peter’s reaction of “that twink did a murder with his own dainty hands?!” (Not his exact words, but strongly implied)
SO IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO GETS TWINK VIBES FROM HIM LMAO
why are all the Avatars so freaking amazing and loveable despite everything!!? Like I know, I know, unspeakable crimes, but they're so charismatic.
It's hard to be creepy without convincing people your not first
@@borderlinecrazy6444I legit love this observation, it's spot on and I want to remember it
wait when was it stated hes an avatar??? is this a spoiler
@@catdn7011 Hardly, the terrible sound that the recorder makes is a dead giveaway (jesus my poor head)
Genuine passion for their fields of interest. It is kinda yucky when the field of interest includes feeding victims to evil things tho
I was chilling listening to darling Martin worrying about others when the static started to creep into the audio and I visibly tensed up like oH GOD WHAT NOW
every time the ststic starts i worry for the characters' wellbeing
@@broblerone413 it happens a bit when Elias walks into the room as well, I love that little audio touch of static/squeak = bad guy
It's Peter saying "Do you?" that gets me. like poor Martin is really trying his best to puff up his chest and seem like he can defend himself and Peter's just like "let's not delude ourselves". Also, that SOUND
I know, this particular static sound makes my entire brain hurt
Peter Lukas, apparating in to act like he miiiight make a better boss than Elias.
I thought he was gonna offer martin a job, tho I'm well aware that ain't possible XD
@@janabrkic426 spoilers
I wouldnt be so sure
@@williamdavis671 he made a great secondary antogonsit tho
"jon called. he's an american now." 15:17
i know i misheard it but i was on the f l o o r
@@kilogramate oh god same, that's what I heard at first too
*Scene cuts to John rapped blanked burrito style in American flags and an eagle on each shoulder*
hope he gets well soon 😔😔😔
NOOOOOOO! This is far worse than any fate I had imagined for him, why did this have to happen to our poor boy 😢
Me: *kinda forgetting who Peter was * You're neat Mr. Magic man. Pls dont hurt my favorite character.
Basira: He was an old ship captain-
Me, out loud and scaring my mother: HE WAS THE FRICKING SHIP CAPTAIN OH GOD-
"I have a knife!!" Why does Martin remind me of that adorable duck with a knife meme?
Peace was never an option
Because he is that meme😂
Because he is that meme😂
Because he is that meme.
Because he is that meme
Why do i have a feeling that martin is slowly becoming like jon, maybe not a full on avatar but still a servant of sorts, like he was able to recognise peter lucas immediatly kinda like jon just knew that jared was working with gertrude. I mean i know he says that jon left notes but he recognised him immediately. IMMEDIATELY. But also its really sweet that martin's conserned for his colleges.
and also tim gave him his statement as if he was giving it to jon? maybe the assistants get minor abilities too?
@@f_mva thats actually a very good point, thanks for bringing it up, i completely missed that.
3 years ago but for newer people, it is Gerard not Jared who is working with Gertrude (as far as I'm aware)
"...WHAT?"
Oh, I love you Martin
peter sounds like an actually pretty okay guy, aside from that whole vanishing a guy from the world thing in e100 but, you know, hey
That made me sad :( Poor guy. At least no more spiders.
Let's be honest, at this point someone vanishing a few people is just an unusual commonality, like actually eating breakfast or going to a nice restaurant as a treat.
@@valdamirlebanon4508 just a normal day at the insitute, sometimes a file goes missing, sometimes a person
Did he vanish that guy? I thought he just congratulated him on his new role (new host for the hive).
ClockworkJohnny he sent him to the place where you’re all alone. The spiders aren’t the hive
The way martin tries to read statements in sort of jon's manner?? OH MY GOD HE'S TRYING HIS BEST WHILE READING THESE EVEN THOUGH HE DISLIKES IT ..... i love him, sir
I think its because when they read the statements, they all feel what the statement givers were feeling when writing them but i would still die for him and its still really sweet that he seems to be putting more effort into making recordings than the others gsfshghgf
Not to be dramatic, but I would die for both Basira and Martin.
So your advice would be "less murder"
I am rolling on the floor, and deceased about five minutes ago.
19:08 "was he woOoOoOoOoOo" god i love basira
Ikrrr Basira is a MASSIVE MOOD😭🤣🤣🤣
Can we like, don't send Martin into the Lonely? Please?
I like Martin, I don't want him to be forever alone.
Well, I think that if anything happened to Martin, John would loose his shit.
Martin is the embodiment of love and universal love and deep kindness dooms one to some level of the lonely no matter what. Most humans need a sense of belonging and to belong is to cast away others that do not and as such those of those instincts have little tolerance for those that choose to not cast out the others. But even if you get together all those who do not do othering that is counter to the absence of othering so the act of not othering which is an expression of universal unconditional love leads to loneliness in and of it's self. If everyone is special, no one is, as they say. Man, trying to put that to words breaks my brain.
@@darcieclements4880 It broke mine too
@@darcieclements4880 It broke mine reading them... but I think I understand
Wow, actor guy sounds like a real charmer huh
"I don't go to parties" yeah, because you're never invited, prick.
@@TenebraeLux I mean, he was invited to drinks; he just really doesn't like social engagements. Presumably the other actors identify with his, uh, standoffish attitude, but not to his level
lmfao martin's "w h a t ? ?" is me throughout this whole thing and he summed it up pretty well ::::)
Vriska face....
Vriska smile
I swear I screamed "No!!" as soon as I heard the static. This podcast is terrifying in a lot of ways but the perspective of Martin getting hurt is what scares me the most ;;
Did anyone notice how well Basira can put information together? You can see that she'd be a really good policewoman if not section 31
Peter: *A knife? That would be out of character for you Martin.*
_Well, he doesn't know about the corkscrew then, does he?_
Peter: do i scare you?
Martin: haha knife go stab
the beginning of the martin "knife" blackwood saga
I’m obsessed how immediately and forcefully Martin admits to being scared. Barely even lets Peter finish the sentence
I think I just realized, this episode, what's kept me invested in the statements. At this point in the series, we've heard so many statements that they all blend together. And we all know what happens in each of them. Someone reads out the account of something horrible that has happened to them, how they just barely got away, and then they go home and either die or are unavailable for follow-up. That's not the interesting part, anymore. The interesting part, is the feeling of dread when they say where it happened to them, or who they'd been talking with, and you just *know* what horrible monster they've just gotten tangled up with. It's like you're hearing someone describe a weird date they had, and when you ask them who it was with they say "Just some guy, I think his name was Charles Manson?"
this exactly!!! these statements feels almost like "oh yeah I met this ted bundy guy, he seems nice I'm meeting him again tonight" and you're like oh no...
I can imagine Peter going "hmm. less murder. interesting" and thoughtfully making a little note of it
How quickly Martin said “yes” after Peter asked if he scares him actually makes my heart break 😭
this is such a creepy and well written episode! I have a soft spot for theater / acting themes in stories :)
also I love the way Martin says "I have a knife" lol
"so your suggestion is less murder?" how does this show always manage to be horror and comedy gold at the same exact time I love it. Peter is definitely the most polite demon so far, new favorite
God, Martin's actor is _so_ good. I genuinely forget that timid little Martin reading the statements that he does, his demeanor _completely_ shifts
"Elias Bouchard, getting his hands dirty. Well well, must be the end times."
PETER YOU DON'T GET TO BE THAT FUNNY!!
Jon was compelled to read statements and I’m compelled to listen to them.. I’ve binged till here and it’s only been two or three days.
how??? 👀
Same here!
How do you people get through these so fast?? Is it the pandemic and ppl have extra time on their hands? Not to brag but I still have a job... For now. I started around May 12th 2020. I thought I was going pretty fast-ish.
i’ve made it to this point in two months, i can’t imagine listening to all of that in a few days wow
@@faxonii hello, i started on monday morning, it’s thursday afternoon now. im planning on finishing by the end of the week.
"Do I scare you, Martin--"
"YES."
The fact that Peter Lukas knows Elias well enough to know he would never get his own hands dirty unless desperate speaks volumes....disturbing volumes
I honestly feel like i'd like this Peter Lukas guy. He sounded very chill
"So, your advice would be less murder" - we all would be better off with less murder
I swear every time Martin has an episode I just comment about how much I love him. The trend continues!
martin brandishing a knife martin brandishing a knife martin brandishing a knife
when martin said "there's one monologue in As You Like It that everyone knows" i said the line with him
ahhh, i love shakespeare xD
also:
"So your advice would be 'less murder'?"
WELL I DON'T THINK HiS ADVICE IS MORE MURDER?!?!
''was he . . . _WoOoOoO_ ?'' 😂😂😂😭💀
peter lukas has season 1 tim vibes and i love it so much 😭😭😭😭😭
Peter coming in HOT and squishing the static like a mouse.
oh martin
ok im so charmed by peter that I'm genuinely concerned
As a person currently playing Jaques in As You Like It, I vibe with this dramatic little bastard and his love of performing as Jaques, another dramatic little bastard.
Me a theatre kid listening to this: oh no. Their going to do the thing where they take something you love and make it horrifying aren't they
yes and it's so sad :(
Martin is too pure for the archives.
Okay less murder in this case might Honestly be worse considering what horrifying non lethal things Peter Lukas alone has done to complete strangers.
This episode had so many raw lines in the statement, and I really enjoy bits with Peter Lukas
My brain during this episode:
* Taylor's swift's SNL monologue song plays *
"Theater kids, am i right?"
This is a great episode
"that would be pretty out of character for you, martin" soooo is the lukas fam all up in 4th wall breaks? is that the entity they serve? is one of the avatars Deadpool?
Nah the entity is just the final form of Deadpool himself.
Martin saying he has a knife was the funniest thing to me, I have no idea why, I guess its just the idea of threating a terrible thing with just a little knife.
"i-i..i have a KNIFE!! Stay back!"
oh how i love martin.
"whOT?"
Is he..? You know.. wooOhOo?
Where's the tape with melanie being emotionally tortured by elias?
Ep 106 i think. At the end
Martin would make such a good boss I'm love him so much
Him: There's one line that every English speaker knows...
Me: lol jokes on you, unless you're referring to "Romeo oh Romeo" which I can bet you aren't I don't know it, my Shakespeare knowledge is in the negative
Him: All the world's a stage
Me: ...shit
Him: Told you you'd know it ;-)
I don't know whether to be relieved that Martin didn't find that statement so bad (because the poor boy needs a break), or concerned that it might mean he's getting used to them :/
I'm going to guess that when Peter Lukas asked "Are you reading statements about me" (or something I don't wanna go back and confirm exactly) that he was talking about the statement Martin was just reading. It seems the Lukas family is tied to something having to do with feelings of isolation. The figures of these masked husks that aren't people that become more and more prominent, being surrounded by an audience that isn't really there. Stuck in a monologue and being the only thing that matters. The only thing that's real. Peter is definitely SOMETHING so I think he might be one of these avatars of The Isolation? or something
The entity described in the statement is similar to that one creature from the moomins. I believe it was called the groke
Edit: Peter is hilarious, I love him
Now I want a statement giver recounting their tale of being viciously pursued through woods by evil moomins.
Oh man this reminds me of the video I watched analyzing an anime about a boy who became the 'wife' of a moomin-like creature. That anime/manga is bonkers and hilarious af even when I haven't watched/read it yet judging from that video alone
Ok as an actor with severe depression and a love for monologues this hit different
"I have a KNIFE"
PETER LUCAS IS SO POLITE SDFGHJ I LOVE HIM
My theory from this episode and what we know so far:
Elias purposely giving Martin to read a statement about he loneliness entity while, at the same time, having one of the Lucas, Peter, to come visit? That's quite playful from Elias and I wasn't expecting that.
Basira is good at digging info and connections, and she seems to already have made connections about the Dark and its followers. There are alot of names mentioned from her, but to be honest my memory isn't the greatest to remember if any of those were mentioned in previous statements, but what I do remember is that there was a statement about the witness's girlfriend's roommate who became a member of the Dark's cult and, when the witness followed her, it was in a chapel where the cult was doing a ritual but it was interrupted. So I'm guessing that this is the case Basira is referring to and the names she mentions are related to some of the people involved in that case.
This guy literally seems like he’s Lonely aligned, and The Stranger was trying to poach him
I have a KNIFE
I love Martin
Ok who said Macbeth?
Fellow theater kid I presume?
Nope, sorry. We don't say that name here xD
shhHHHH
*S i l e n c e L i b e r a l !*
WE DONT USE THAT NAME
Is he...you know...WoOoOoOoOoO
Martin. Adorable baby Martin.
Peter is such a charismatic dude. Let me know when all the Elias' divorce papers have come through. For, y'know. Research purposes. Feeding the Eye an' all.
Man, Basira is really more suited to the Watcher than anybody at the institute huh?
She's observat but not curious. She doesn't have that insatiable desire to know that drives avatars of The Eye.
Your advice would be less murder? XD
Jon this whole episode: goddamn I'm tired again Trevor tell me what's going on _statement begins_
Trevor: you mothefucker well you know the bit about my childhood so I guess I'll fast forward to when I met Jules here. It was a dark and stormy night-
Julia: it wasn't it was a sunny, dry afternoon at a bookstore
Martin exhibiting his proclivity for knives pretty early on
The writing, characterization and acting is just so top class I can't stand it, bloody "was he all, woooOOoOo" wow 👏💜
I keep getting ads for tea on episodes where Martin talks and I think it's my boy telling me to have a cuppa to relax.
the peter martin convo was so unexpectedly hilarious 😭
I nearly feel asleep to Martin reading the statement. His vpice was just so sooting
Been listening to some of these lying down and the way I sat up when I heard the static. The fear for Martin is real.
I've said it once I'll say it again, I love Martin
I could hear my heartbeat in my ear throughout the episode (wearing earphones) and it made me realize how on edge I was x.x
The Choir? Did Adonis encountered "the Choir"?
also, probably Jon and friends are going to Ny Alesund? Hunting owo?
oh!!! i forgot they mentioned something called the choir! good catch!
Martin saying 'sans' as 'sons' gave me 10d20 psychic damage
my favorite part of this is the meta-cuteness that Jonny gave Alex the monologue
Peter "what have you got there"
Martin "a KNIFE"
peter "NOO!"
