today we examine four unsolved mysteries let’s talk about good mythical morning thank you for letting us into your brains your mind your thoughts your ears your eyes your heart your soul on a daily basis if you had the privilege of watching television in the late 1980s you may remember a little show called unsolved mysteries featuring Robert Stack join me perhaps you may be able to help solve the mystery Robert was amazing he had amazing trench coat and an amazing voice I watched it with my grandma I watched it with my mom and I was only affair I was always intrigued by the unsolved nosov said mister they never solved them no closure lo and behold no more show like that but we’re going to channel that energy of the 80s into our own unsolved mysteries segment which I’m we kind of need to change name so we’re going to call it an explicable enigmas and enigmas in English enigmas inexplicable enigmas okay so I got a couple you’ve got a couple yeah okay here’s the first one let me channel my Robert Stack on November 22nd 1987 Chicagoans were huddled around their televisions watching a rerun of the Doctor Who episode horror of Fang Rock suddenly the TV signal was hijacked by a mysterious person moaning laughing speaking incoherently and wearing a Max Headroom mask I’m going to show you a clip here and imagine just watching TV in the 80s you Doctor Who in it up and then all of a sudden this breaks in I’ll get your yes pretty scary right this is not part of the Doctor Who broadcast doctor who can be a weird show but not this weird not this Lofa he got up a Pepsi yeah yeah I said that it said the catchphrase catch catch away catch the wave well that was a Koch catchphrase because you may not know that Max Headroom is an 80s icon the first computer-generated TV host in Britain exported to America and was in Coke commercials right I thought it was pretty cool and creepy as a kid but that mask version was even creepier but he didn’t the thing that makes Mex Max Headroom Max Headroom is that the stuttering he wasn’t able to simulate that fail he appeared there and a little bit earlier in the nine o’clock news they never figured out who it was there was a clip I want to show you it jumped cuts to him with his pants down and a woman in a french maid outfit is swatting his hiney with a flyswatter french maid outfit or a french maid outfit a french maid ma ID oh okay I really what I say made it sound French wait up it we could go either way very nice the hijacker his hindquarters and his accomplices were never identified come on it’s been so many years since 1987 I don’t need to do the math to know that it’s long enough for you to come forward you think they watched you gloat I mean there’s someone on yes there’s someone on reddit who thinks they know who did it but they’re not saying they’re the person who did it person who did it hides a car come forward gloat take credit for it wave the mask around you’re awesome we’ll interview on the show bust the mystery up how about this inexplicable enigma there is an aged stone bridge on the road to the famed Overton house in Scotland since the 1950s many dogs approximately one per year and have been compelled to jump to their deaths onto the rocky Rapids 50 feet below 50 feet below its feet mysteriously some dogs that survived the drop were brought back to the bridge where they jumped again what seriously once a year a dog jumps to his death off of this bridge now a couple things in the same day every year no but it’s the same side of the bridge and it’s always in clear weather and it’s always dogs with long snouts okay so smeller it has something to do this smelling right so they brought these people out some some habitat animal habitat experts to investigate what was going on and this guy discovered that there was potent odor from male mink urine and possibly well minks that were peeing down there and guess around the river and apparently dogs just love make urine meet P so much so that they’ll kill themselves over it huh well they’re not killing themselves they’re going in they’re going after it but I mean this this is a big jump this is 50 feets as I said but everyone Wow everyone doesn’t agree they don’t agree because local hunter John Joyce he’s a 50-year long resident of the area says there is no mink around here I can tell you that would absolute certainty no comment on the accent um hmm so he says there’s no mix so maybe it’s a ghost why don’t I don’t know what do you do next what do you move to next well I got an idea put up a fit so put down a net a dog net yeah put on a dog net and then once one jumps just you get him in the net and ask him okay any dogs that know what’s going on please come forward is that what we’re doing I’m on to the next one rats okay on August 31st 2004 at five o’clock in the a.m. a Burger King employee found a man unconscious sunburned treated and naked beneath a dumpster of the restaurant beneath me behind would be a different story stack was a lot better at reading his notes he had three depressions in his skull apparently caused by blunt force trauma red ant bites on his body but no ID as I said he was naked
