Zooks! We may have unknowingly unleashed a Pharaoh's curse upon us as this week we watch the episode "Scooby-Doo and a Mummy, Too". How much did it cost to get three hamburgers and three liverwurst and ice cream sandwiches? Who continues to baffle us with their response to monsters and ghosts? How many Scooby Snacks are consumed in this episode alone? And just how ridiculous does Shaggy and Scooby get this week? All this and more await inside the Scooby Zone.
Hello and welcome to the Scooby Zone, the podcast where we would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those blasted kids.
SPEAKER_02Oh man.
SPEAKER_01We watch a bit of Scooby-Doo Media. I'm Rob. And I'm Katie. And today we'll be watching Scooby-Doo and A Mummy 2, episode 12 of Scooby-Doo Where Are You?
SPEAKER_00Man, we're we're getting we're getting up there, guys.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, we're just about done with season one. Oh, I know. We are just a little shy of halfway through. Pretty much. I think like tech if you want to get super technical. Just super technical. I think when we hit like the point next week when we break to go watch the episode, we'll be halfway done with the season.
SPEAKER_00Oh of the series. I can't believe we're getting there already. You know, it seems so long since we long ago that we started this, and now it's like we're finally almost getting done with the series. I'm like, I don't. This is a good series that you don't want to be done with it so fast. But yeah, there's only 25 episodes.
SPEAKER_01You know, but think of all the more fun series will also come too.
SPEAKER_00Right? We have a lot of them coming up.
SPEAKER_01The Scooby-Doo show.
SPEAKER_00Yes. A pup named Scooby-Doo.
SPEAKER_01What's new, Scooby-Doo?
SPEAKER_00What's new, Scooby-Doo? And then we have the movie movies after that, and in between that as well. And then all of our holiday specials that we'll be getting into as well for certain ones. You know, it's like a lot to look forward to. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01All the fun Scooby-Doo guest appearances that we decided we will cover.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01We have since decided we will not cover everything the internet all lists as Scooby-Doo crossovers. Yeah, definitely. Because there's a lot listed, most of which are either just like quick couple second cameos or serve no real purpose of anything.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Or they are listed as sketches on robot chicken, which are all over the place.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, they're definitely all over the place. You can never find it.
SPEAKER_01Which are not exactly kid appropriate.
SPEAKER_00No, they definitely are not kid appropriate.
SPEAKER_01I want to try to keep this as kid friendly as possible. As possible.
SPEAKER_00Yes, definitely.
SPEAKER_01Sometimes that's not gonna work.
SPEAKER_00No, it's not always gonna work, but we'll do our best.
SPEAKER_01Right. So I think for sure the ones the ones we know 100% we will cover is Scooby Natural.
SPEAKER_00Oh, yes, that'll be coming up soon, guys. We'll definitely be doing that one very soon.
SPEAKER_01The Johnny Bravo episode with Scooby-Doo. Oh, yes, definitely. That is essentially almost a Scooby-Doo episode.
SPEAKER_00It essentially is, yes, I agree.
SPEAKER_01The Scooby-Doo related episode of the adult swim cartoon, Harvey Bird Man attorney.
SPEAKER_00That was a trippy episode, man. That was hilarious. It was such a perfect episode.
SPEAKER_01And honestly, in terms of like adult swim shows, I think that at the end of the day, at least in our breakdown synopsis, we can turn that kid friendly.
SPEAKER_00We definitely can make it kid friendly.
SPEAKER_01Not exactly 100% kid friendly. But you know, it's a lot better than some other things.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it definitely is a lot better. So definitely on that one.
SPEAKER_01But that's a bit of a ways away.
SPEAKER_00Definitely, yeah. Not anytime soon.
SPEAKER_01Right. Um well, depending on how we decide to lay things out.
SPEAKER_00That is true. That is true. I'm hoping too.
SPEAKER_01I know we've roughly sketched out a somewhat roadmap of our of what we'll be doing. Right. And when how much of that we're actually sticking to at this point is kind of up in the air? Out the window.
SPEAKER_00I was like up in the air, you're saying out the window. Oh, okay. I mean.
SPEAKER_01I mean, like, right now for sure, we're consistently doing like every episode of Where Are You?
SPEAKER_00Right, every episode, definitely.
SPEAKER_01But like, you know, after we hit the wax phantom episode, like, yeah, you know, are we gonna jump straight into the new Scooby movies? We could. But and show all of our listings and all of our but that's at least, you know, 13 weeks away.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it's we got a while, we got a little bit of time yet, guys. Yeah. Yeah, definitely.
SPEAKER_01But not a lot.
SPEAKER_00No, no, not a lot, but it's a decent amount of.
SPEAKER_01You know, it feels like it's a lot on paper.
SPEAKER_00Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_01But on paper, that's only like what roughly three months.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that's true.
SPEAKER_01You know, and then as we get older, that time just flies by. But you don't want to hear us ramble about logistics and whatnot. You want to hear us ramble about Scooby.
SPEAKER_00That's what the podcast is about. So that's what you guys want to hear.
SPEAKER_01This great big lovable great Dane. Yeah. Yep, definitely lovable.
SPEAKER_00And his friends and friends and family? Yes. Many friends and family. I definitely consider that too. Yep, definitely. His best pal.
SPEAKER_01Yep. No fun guests on the podcast this week.
SPEAKER_00No, we'll have have one coming up soon.

SPEAKER_00Yeah, that'll be an all that'll be an interesting one.
SPEAKER_01Do you want us to cover all 24 episodes separately, or just do kind of a big broad episode on you know what that series was about? But, you know, until then, we're here, we're watching, you know, Scooby-Doo Where Are You? Yep. You guys can too. It's on DVD, Blu-ray, VHS. Yeah, VHS player, and if you have wanna take the time to track down the specific episodes. I I'm not a hundred percent positive, but I almost think the entirety of Where Are You did make it onto classic Cartoon Network VHS.
SPEAKER_00I think it did too. I just don't have that one specifically.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. So obviously, the now modern day DVD and Blu-ray are probably your best bets for a physical set. Yep. Definitely your best bet. You know, digitally, you can get it from Fendango, which used to be Voodoo. Yep. Still forgot to double check if it's still available on Amazon Prime for purchase. It might be.
SPEAKER_00I mean, I see that as a good option. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And as of the recording of this episode, it is available to stream on the free site Tubi.
SPEAKER_00Yep. That's definitely still there.
SPEAKER_01Still waiting for them to decide to give us the rest of the Scooby content that they teased us with before March.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01But, you know, until then, we're gonna go ahead and split up, look for some clues, and we'll be right back after we watch the episode. And we're back. That was Scooby-Doo and a mummy too, and boy, there was a mummy, and there was Scooby, and there was Scooby. And there were two mummies.
SPEAKER_00There were two mummies. Yeah, there were two mummies, surprisingly enough, and there was only supposed to be one. No, there's two.
SPEAKER_01Alright, let's go ahead. Let's take this from the top. Alright, take it from the top. Alright. We open up at, you know, local college's Department of Archaeology. Yeah. You know. Scooby and the Gain are there helping set up mummy exhibits.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Visiting their friend who is just called the Professor.
SPEAKER_00Just the Professor. He doesn't have an actual name. He's just the Professor.
SPEAKER_01You know, while they're there setting up this exhibit for a 3,000-year-old mummy that was found. The professor's colleague, Dr. Najib, you know, explains that, you know, removing the mummy from his tomb, you know, came with a terrible, vague curse.
SPEAKER_00Of course. Don't use don't usually mummies you take from them always have some sort of curse? Isn't that technically in all of mummy?
SPEAKER_01The mummy swore, you know, he'd come back to life and turn to stone anyone who disturbed his tomb. You know, while that's going on, Scooby's being Scooby and is messing with a cat statue.
SPEAKER_00Of course.
SPEAKER_01When he's not looking, a second you know, a cat shows up. You know, it's a Siamese cat, so it looks the same as the statue.
SPEAKER_00It does.
SPEAKER_01Scooby then turns back, notices that now there are two cats.
SPEAKER_00There are two of them. Hmm. How'd that happen?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. He taps the first one on the head and the statue. Taps the second one on the head and it just goes crazy. Yep. So Scooby kind of loses that fight with a cat.
SPEAKER_00I guess he does. I didn't know. Whoops.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Alright.
SPEAKER_01Shaggy finds this crazy kooky coin.
SPEAKER_00Kookie, yep.
SPEAKER_01Definitely. That the professor says that he has no idea of what it's for. And you know, Shaggy wants to know when they can eat.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yep. Professor says, Well, why don't you go down, pick up some sandwiches, I'll pay.
SPEAKER_00That's not really a good idea to try to pay for something that Shaggy and Scooby are gonna eat. A lot of people are gonna have their bank accounts drained by having them, you know, go all you can eat. That's really not a good option there.
SPEAKER_01Well, so then again, this is the you know the 60s, so how expensive can actually we'll see how expensive it is later.
SPEAKER_00Right. Yep, we will.
SPEAKER_01Yep. While they're off getting food, though the professor's in his office reading and he hears a loud crash and sees a shadowy figure, looks out and sees that there's a human-sized hole in the glass door.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01And notices that the mummy is gone.
SPEAKER_00Where could the mummy be? What happened? Where'd the mummy go?
SPEAKER_01That's a good question.
SPEAKER_00Maybe we'll find that maybe we'll find that question out later. What happens?
SPEAKER_01We then cut to the malt shop, which you know, I really like the design of the malt shop.
SPEAKER_00I love the design of the malt shop.
SPEAKER_01So I can iconic compared to later designs of the malt shop that I've seen, like specifically the one that we see in Scooby Natural. Yeah, that is a weird outside design.
SPEAKER_00Like this, like this is iconic.
SPEAKER_01This is the iconic well, because I mean we've seen the malt chop in the other ones, but it's like a simple, like almost like 50s diner-esque type style.
SPEAKER_00Right. And that is I I mean, the malt chop is so iconic that even just seeing it like that is just you know the best. So props to the designer.
SPEAKER_01You know, at the malt shop, the waiter at the malt shop says that they're you know the three hamburgers are ready. Just finishing up the three sandwiches, yep. Which are liverwurst with ice cream.
SPEAKER_00Who would think that would be a combination of and screoby? Yeah. Both of them it has to be both of them.
SPEAKER_01And you know, we find out that for three hamburgers and three liverwursten ice cream sandwiches, the total comes to a buck fifty.
SPEAKER_00Yep. I guess.
SPEAKER_01It's not exactly breaking the bank.
SPEAKER_00No, no, it's not. Back then it wouldn't be, but they they didn't go over actually.
SPEAKER_01When you think about what that would be nowadays, that's probably what ten, twenty bucks. You need me more than that. Probably. It's like, well, what how much is a hamburger at McDonald's? That's like Yeah, and I'm not talking about like a you know, like a Big Mac or anything like I'm not like a regular cheeseburger. Yeah, right. That's probably what, two or three bucks?
SPEAKER_00I think so, like $2.99 or something like that. No, I want to go looking, but it's like two nine. It's I think it's like about $2.99.
SPEAKER_01I want to roughly you know, without even looking, you know, but that's from them, you know, versus like and so yeah, and you know, I can't imagine you know, I I would imagine almost a sandwich would probably be like close to, if not maybe a just a little bit less. Right. But then ice cream would be like a you know dollar add-on or something.
SPEAKER_00Right, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Either way, they're eating pretty good for pretty cheap back then. Right. Shaggy pulls money out of his pocket and to pay. And the chef at the malt shop engines like, what kind of kooky coin is this?
unknownWhat?
SPEAKER_02What's that?
SPEAKER_01Turns out Shaggy expertly pocketed the Egyptian coin. Yep. Because he's an expert coin collector like that.
SPEAKER_00He's an expert coin collector, yep. We gotta put that one on there.
SPEAKER_01Or is an expert kleptomaniac.
SPEAKER_00Something like that.
SPEAKER_01One of the two, it's Shaggy.
SPEAKER_00He grant no, he he's an expert stealer. He's just stole that coin. That's what a kleptomaniac is. He's an expert coin stealer.
SPEAKER_01Yep. Yeah. Fred figures, you know, if they're going back to the museum anyway.
SPEAKER_00Anyways, yep.
SPEAKER_01You know, they're going back to the university, anyways, with the sandwiches. They can just give it back to the professor's end.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01You know, no harm, no foul. And so when they get back, they go to the professor's office and they find him sitting in the dark. They turn on the light, and it turns out he's now a statue.
SPEAKER_00Oh no.
SPEAKER_01They look out and they see the mummy is gone.
SPEAKER_00Oh no.
SPEAKER_01And notice the human-shaped hole in the glass door.
SPEAKER_00Hmm. But yeah, it's on the other side.
SPEAKER_01Figure that okay, the mummy came to life and broke out. But the glass is on the inside.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_01Meaning somebody had to come in. So you know, they decide they'll they will go ahead, split up. Yep. Shaggy, Scooby, and Velma go awful in one direction. Shake and Scooba wearing some pots on their heads, carrying a trash can lid and brooms making noise. Yep. Velma chatizes them like you're gonna scare the mummy away. That's the whole idea, Velma.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that's the whole point, Velma. Weren't you listening? Don't you know that we don't want the monster around? So we scare them.
SPEAKER_01Well, scare them, but she tells them to go ahead and put that stuff away, so they open a janitor closet and Shaggy calls her a spoiled sport. Yep. And lo and behold, the mummy's in the closet.
SPEAKER_00He's in the closet. What's he doing in the closet?
SPEAKER_01I mean, we're trying to keep this kid friendly, right now.
SPEAKER_00Oh, I know, I know. But I mean, like, I mean, like, because where would Yeah he should have been gone, gone, you know, at least outside or something. You know, I mean, like, what is he do doing in the closet to know to be in there when they open the door and put the stuff in? You know, that's more or less what I'm saying. That's what makes no sense. It's like what is was he just hoping they someone would open the door and he's surprised them or whatever? Or what does it mean?
SPEAKER_01You know, some what is he thinking? Where some of these monsters hide is just kind of like okay, you either were like you were either just hiding in there hoping to get lucky, or I don't know, are you some kind of fortune teller and can see the future?
SPEAKER_00Right. Well, we know the mummy isn't a fortune teller, but it it just what is he doing? I mean, I don't understand if you'd be like outside or something, or somewhere in more into the museum or something. Yeah. But what why why are you why are you in the closet? Like, did he happen to see stuff missing from the closet and think? Oh, hey, someone's gonna come back and put this in here, but who would the thing that why would you think it'd be Shaggy, the one who has to point? Why would you think he'd come back and put them in?
SPEAKER_01Is there a precedent of Shaggy and Scooby putting stuff in random closets?
SPEAKER_00There might be. Well, there is then they'll be as bad as Daphne opening up door number three, which smells the night ghost, you know? It's like Andrew Prone Daphne found the night. That's a tricky one on that one, but anyway.
SPEAKER_01Anyways, they close the door on the mummy, in which he then breaks it down.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01You know, they run off to another room. Shaggy and Velma dress up in Anthony and Cleopatra disguise. Yep. Scooby goes ahead and hides in a jar.
SPEAKER_02Yep.
SPEAKER_01And the mummy looks through the jars, eventually finds Scooby. Yep. And Velma sneezes, giving away their disguises. Yep. Unfortunately. Yep. They go off, run into another room, in which Velma then tells the mummy to go away.
SPEAKER_00How is that gonna go away? How is that going? And Shaggy can't get through the door because the door is locked is locked, but yet, what do you think that's gonna do when you tell him to go away? What do you think that's gonna go away?
SPEAKER_01Velma, did that work last week against the vampire?
SPEAKER_00No, well, telling him to stop that? Well, then she didn't know who the vampire was after the second time of season. So how does that does she have a short-term memory loss? Or did something happen? She got out trippy or something. I mean, I don't understand why you don't remember.
SPEAKER_01Precedent with Velma? Like, I don't remember this.
SPEAKER_00Right? Yeah, I don't remember her not remembering the monster. I'm like, you just saw him like five minutes ago, and how the vampire shows up the most. How do you not remember him? So that's when you said to him to stop that, right?
SPEAKER_01You know, they pretty much determine that the mummy it wants the crazy Egyptian coin Shaggy has.
SPEAKER_00She does because he's like coin, coin.
SPEAKER_01And she she tells Shaggy not to give it to him.
SPEAKER_00Then he gets even more mad.
SPEAKER_01So they ask Scooby to do something.
SPEAKER_00Quick, Scooby, do something.
SPEAKER_01He doesn't want to, so in order to get him to do something, yep. Guys, he gets a whole box of Scooby Sacks.
SPEAKER_00He gets a whole box of Scooby sacks. Which it definitely brings our total up a lot more.
SPEAKER_01I think because we slowed down, tried counting what we could. We got to maybe at least 40.
SPEAKER_00At least 40.
SPEAKER_01And we have come to the conclusion doing a lot of extensive research on the subject. Yep. We figure there's probably approximately 80 Scooby snacks in the one box.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01Don't ask us how we got that number. Don't ask us. It was a pain to try to get that number.
SPEAKER_00It was definitely, and it was even more of a pain to try to figure out how many were actually in Scooby's mouth as he was devouring it.
SPEAKER_01So do yourselves a favor, just take our word for it.
SPEAKER_00Just take our word for it. Don't don't try to question it, all right?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, we got up there. You don't want to become insane like us.
SPEAKER_00Oh, great. Now we're insane trying to figure this stuff out.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but we're experts in insanity. We're experts in the experience. Like Shady.
SPEAKER_00Like Chaggy's an expert, so are we. Oh man.
SPEAKER_01But no, we figured, like, you know, at least 40, he ate this.
SPEAKER_00At least 40.
SPEAKER_01I mean, we couldn't tell if this was a brand new box or was already going on.
SPEAKER_00So man.
SPEAKER_01We then get Scooby versus the mummy. He punches the mummy, hurts his paw.
SPEAKER_00It looks like an accordion, too. Yep.
SPEAKER_01He runs off, comes back in a ghee, and starts doing karate karate chopper. Yeah. Starts going back with old karate chopper.
SPEAKER_00The old karate treatment.
SPEAKER_01That doesn't work.
SPEAKER_00No, it doesn't.
SPEAKER_01He runs off again.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01He comes back just to dance off.
SPEAKER_00With a hat and a cane.
SPEAKER_01You know, abandoning Shaggy and Velma.
SPEAKER_00Velma doesn't like that. How do you like that? He dances off and desserts us.
SPEAKER_01But you gotta admit, he looked good doing it.
SPEAKER_00He did look pretty good, didn't he? He wasn't bad.
SPEAKER_01Scooby quietly sneaks back in with some nails and a hammer. A hammer. And he nails part of the bandages of the mummy down to the floor. Yep.
SPEAKER_00Pretty good on Scooby's part for that, you know.
SPEAKER_01You know, Shaggy, Velma, Scooby, get away. Yep. The mummy also rips his bandages and gets away. Yep. But we then cut to Fred and Daphne outside, where they find some footprints.
SPEAKER_00Yep, that's true.
SPEAKER_01They follow the footprints and they find Dr. Najib's car. Yep. And they find out that he has been turned to stone.
SPEAKER_02Hmm.
SPEAKER_01Meaning he must have met the mummy before he could leave.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01You know. Shaggy Velma and Scooby go back to where the mummy was to find him missing. Uh-oh. But they see the part of the bandage. And just by feeling it, Velma can see that it doesn't feel like it's 3,000 years old.
SPEAKER_02Uh-oh.
SPEAKER_01So they go to the science lab to test it. Of course. Where else would they go? Oh, Velma is doing her sciencey stuff, saying big words. I don't understand. Right.
SPEAKER_00Well, it's Velma. The logic doesn't make sense with Velma. She doesn't speak English, remember?
SPEAKER_01Scooby just decides he's just gonna start randomly drinking random liquids.
SPEAKER_00Yep. Because they looked like they smelled good. So what's the problem? But yet you didn't want to drink whatever concoction Shaggy made up in the previous episode, so this must have been better, but I don't know what I don't know. Well, he might have exploded with the last one, so he probably wasn't a good idea he didn't drink that one.
SPEAKER_01And by drinking said liquids, Scooby temporarily becomes a frog.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, how does that what was in that liquid that made it only for like 30 seconds? Coldstool? Could be. I don't know what that was. I don't know what kind of concoction that was, to be honest.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I don't know. Uh-huh. Yeah. Velma asks for a chemical who that I don't remember is phosphate something. I don't care. Chemical something? I don't know. Yeah, I don't have it written down. I just wrote down it was a chemical. Yep. And the mummy hands it to her.
SPEAKER_00So the mummy must have some kind of smarts to know which oh she was she wants this one. Here you go.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Like what?
SPEAKER_01You know, they have to get away. So Velma using her science screen creates a smoke screen.
SPEAKER_00And it's very effective, actually. Well, partly very effective, I should say.
SPEAKER_01She and Shaggy get out of the room, barricading the door behind Shaggy.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01Where Fred and Daphne have conveniently now shown up.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, somehow they've created.
SPEAKER_01They mentioned they have the mummy trapped in the science lab. Yep. They open the door. Mummy's gone. And so is Scooby. And so is Scooby. Where's Scooby? And the science lab is trashed.
SPEAKER_00It definitely is trashed, yes. So it must have been looked like there's some form of a struggle in there.
SPEAKER_01You know, they see an open window. Realizing those mummy must have Scooby. Yep.
SPEAKER_00Definitely.
SPEAKER_01Take took him out the window. They've gotta find him before Scooby ends up like the professor in Dr. Najib.
SPEAKER_00What? What happened to Dr. Najib? What happened?
SPEAKER_01He was turned into a statue too.
SPEAKER_00What? Aw, poor Dr. Najib. Oh man. No one is safe from this mummy.
SPEAKER_01They go outside and they find a Scooby statue.
SPEAKER_00Oh no. He's he's put up to that big bone. He's gone to that big bone yard in the sky.
SPEAKER_01Yep. Shaggy's all sad, crying. He's lost his best friend.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01When he mentions a Scooby that, you know, look, Scooby, you've been turned to stone.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01Now Scooby starts crying. He starts crying because he dug out from underground. Yep, from under the shed. Yeah. And Shaggy then realizes.
SPEAKER_00Hey, wait a minute. Scooby's two. You're two Scoobies. Wait a minute. What? Like what?
SPEAKER_01So it's now looking like the mummy can't really turn people to stone.
SPEAKER_00No, then.
SPEAKER_01So what's that all about?
SPEAKER_00No, what is that? Yeah, we haven't figured that out yet. What's going on?
SPEAKER_01They go back to the professor's office to look at his notes. Yep. They are examining a book that's talking about a hippo statue. In that shot, we get a very interesting animation error where it looks like Shaggy is wearing a skin-colored mittage.
SPEAKER_00Definitely. Because it doesn't show his finger, lines of his fingers.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, he doesn't have Velma's.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Well, it doesn't actually show Fres because his are in his pocket, so that makes sense. But yet it shows Velma's very clearly, so it's like, what's going on with Shaggy's hands there for a second?
SPEAKER_01As they're reading through the notes, eventually big bad and bandaged.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, big bad and bandages is back. Yeah. That was like the best line.
SPEAKER_01Right. They decide to go run into the wood shop room. Yep. And Fred tells Daphne to turn off the light so they can hide. And she turns on the power saw.
SPEAKER_00What what what why would you ask Daphne to do it when you know she's danger-prone Daphne? She's done it before. Why do you think why do you think to ask her again?
SPEAKER_01I'm just surprised that her danger proneness extends to the fact that usually on power tools, even when they're plugged in, they won't run unless you like turn them on.
SPEAKER_00Right, you have to turn them on.
SPEAKER_01And the fact that, you know, the switch on the wall is what turns on the saw.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_01And it actually moves, then actually You know, so it's moving on its own all around the room. Right. It eventually cuts a hole in the ground. Yep. Under you know, around Mystery Inc., where they've then drop down into the pool. Yep. Which, you know, that's not quite how floors and ceilings work.
SPEAKER_00Well, I it's Scooby logic. It doesn't have to make sense, but yet this is just for the episode. I mean, come on now.
SPEAKER_01You know. So, yeah, Mr. Ink is now sitting on a piece of floor uh in a pool. In a pool. When the mummy decides to throw the power saw down, which is now chasing them in the pool.
SPEAKER_00How how does that make any sense? Because you would think it would either drop all the way to the bottom, or you think it would just electrocute and then not work anymore, and then drop to the bottom too. Why is it not dropping to the bottom of the pool?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. But, anyways, you know, it's chasing them. Somehow. And eventually it smashes into the side of the pool and sinks down.
SPEAKER_00Now it sinks down. You would think it would have sunk down before, but you know, it's besides the point, I guess.
SPEAKER_01They're all exhausted from the running. They're taking, you know, they're getting a rest in the locker room.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01And Shaggy sits down because boy, are his feet killing him. Yep, they're definitely. One, two, three, four of them.
SPEAKER_00Oh, good. They're all here.
SPEAKER_01Shaggy is sitting basically right in front of the mummy.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01And the mummy still fails to grab him.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01That's terrible reaction time.
SPEAKER_00Terrible reaction time.
SPEAKER_01I mean, in terms of grabbing them, I think the mummy is worse than Frankenstein.
SPEAKER_00I think the mum, yeah, definitely worse than Frankenstein. Definitely. Well, he groans and makes noise behind him. He could have just not made a noise and actually, like, I got you, versus making that grunt, groaning, grunting noise and then looking shaggy. He wouldn't have known you were behind him unless you did something. Yeah. It's like that how you should have just kept your mouth shut. I mean, honestly, then you could have grabbed him and be like, I found a clue, guys. The mummy caught me. Yeah, it the monster monsters are well. The mummy has some level of intelligence, but not the good at grabbing.
SPEAKER_01I mean, it argues about the coin with them.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, right.
SPEAKER_01I bet he wants that Egyptian coin. Groans nod in his head. Yep.
SPEAKER_00Don't give it to him. Yeah, he's having a temper tantrum, guys. That's what he's doing right now.
SPEAKER_01Anyways. Shaggy and Scooby run outside to the construction site of the gym extension.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01And they trip over some stuff and they find some quick drying mold cement.
SPEAKER_00Oh, so now we found out what happened with all the others. Oh, okay. So they were drawn out. Yep.
SPEAKER_01You know, they keep running and they go and hide in a shed. In a shed.
SPEAKER_00That Scooby just previously came out of.
SPEAKER_01Yep. So, hmm. Um I wonder. You know, while they're hiding, you know, they go to open the door of the shed to find the mummy, pretty much laying bricks to seal them in. Yep. Kind of like in Edgar Allan Poe's Cask of Amontato.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Yep.
SPEAKER_01Uh-huh. You know, mummy asks for the coin.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01Scooby gives him a mouse trap.
SPEAKER_00Way to go, Scoob. Now he's really sore ass.
SPEAKER_01While they are now being sealed inside of the shed, they hear a noise, and they find the professor is tied up and gagged inside a sack in the shed.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01You know. They ungag him, ask if he's okay.
SPEAKER_00He says he's fine.
SPEAKER_01And then Shaggy puts the gag back on him.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01I don't know if that still counts as being fine.
SPEAKER_00I don't think either. Well, wait, what? Why are you putting this back on me?
SPEAKER_01They decide they're gonna break out of the shed with a lawnmower. We immediately goes out of control.
SPEAKER_00Yes, it yeah, with Shaggy trying to keep up with it, definitely is going out of control.
SPEAKER_01Yep. And to the point where, you know, they all end up in the gym.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01That Fred and the girls go run into the gym because they see the mummy is coming that way. Yep. Followed by Shaggy and Scoob on the lawnmower.
SPEAKER_00Which Fred thinks that the baseball bat is gonna be enough to hold. No, Fred, that's definitely not gonna be good enough to h- Well, if it was just the mummy, it probably would be enough, but yet you got a lawnmower coming your way. That's all fired up, and you know, you have Shaggy and Scooby with that. So no, I don't think the baseball bat is gonna be enough.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, Shaggy and Scooby crash into the mummy, which breaks down the door. You let the mummy leaving Shaggy sitting on the door while Scooby and the Mummy are now on the lawnmower.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01Which crashes into Pumble Horse for gymnastics. Yep. Uh-huh. Which throws them into a trampoline.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01They bounce on the trampoline for a bit before Scooby grabs onto some gymnastic rings. Yep. The mummy coes down and back up again off the trampoline where Scooby kicks the mummy into the basketball hoop.
SPEAKER_00Yep. That's three points.
SPEAKER_01Yep, that is three points.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01To which then Scooby manages to drop down to land nice, safely on the trampoline.
SPEAKER_00Safely on the trampoline. Yep.
SPEAKER_01You know, they take a ladder up to unmask the mummy and find out that it's Dr. Najib.
SPEAKER_00What? How could it be him? What?
SPEAKER_01He was after the crazy coin.
SPEAKER_00Oh.
SPEAKER_01Because it turns out that on the hippo statue, you put the coin into a slot in the back. Oh.
SPEAKER_00And it opened up a secret compartment in its mouth.
SPEAKER_01Which contained a diamond scarab.
SPEAKER_00Ah, worth a fortune.
SPEAKER_01Yes.
SPEAKER_00Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_01You know. The professor explains that, you know, after the gang left, you know, Dr. G broke inside to steal the coin. Yep.
SPEAKER_00And realized that the gang must have it.
SPEAKER_01Yep, and because the professor saw him, he had to do something about it.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_01You know, they ask, you know, what happened to the real mummy, and they find it just sitting over by some palm trees.
SPEAKER_00Yep. Why else wouldn't it be then? And then there's Scooby's ventuloquism of the mummy, which I'm assuming he learned from the expert himself, Shaggy.
SPEAKER_01Yep.
SPEAKER_00Since he caught two rounds of it being a ventuloquist.
SPEAKER_01Yep. And so that wraps up both the mystery and the mummy. Yep.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it definitely wraps up that one. Should we uh should we have the uh lawn mower be a safety hazard? I think that would be the safety concern. Yeah, yeah. Definitely and the power saw.
SPEAKER_01Definitely don't throw power tools into bodies of water. Definitely do, especially while they are running. Especially while running.
SPEAKER_00That is a that's just a no-go. Yep, so we have our safety concerns for the up. That's a pretty concerning one. So we you know felt like those should be mentioned.
SPEAKER_01And you know, we get some fun with our snack intake this year. Because uh, we've got 40 to add to our snack and take. Yep. Which I believe now brings us to a total of 60 smoothie snacks. Yep. One shaggy snack.
SPEAKER_00One shaggy snack.
SPEAKER_01And one hero sandwich.
SPEAKER_00Hero sandwich. That's a total of 62.
SPEAKER_01And I think now we're on episode 12.
SPEAKER_00Yes. Yep, episode 12.
SPEAKER_01If my math is mathing right. Oh boy, here we go. I think we've now averaged five Scooby Snacks per episode.
SPEAKER_00That it yeah, that does make sense. So we're getting up to that six six that was put for the behind the scenes.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Scooby-doo.
SPEAKER_01I thought it was gonna be a bit longer before we got a whole box of Scooby Snacks.
SPEAKER_00But uh yeah, I mean I didn't think I didn't think we were gonna get one in this episode, but apparently I don't remember him taking the whole box. I you know, I I knew we were getting that, but I didn't think it was gonna be this soon. Right? So, I mean, I guess it'll be interesting when the next one happens, if it happened, you know.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh, I think it does happen at least one more time. Oh, and that's that's coming up, so we're gonna see how that one goes too.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I used to think actually I think more than once. I think it happened, yeah, a couple like two more times at least, I think.
SPEAKER_01So yeah.
SPEAKER_00We'll have to, yeah, I think so. So we're gonna be in for a it might jump it up to six then, average-wise.
SPEAKER_01All right.
SPEAKER_00You know, alright.
SPEAKER_01So now let's go ahead and continue with our fun stuff.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, our fun stuff.
SPEAKER_01You know, we've covered the snack intake, so why don't you go ahead and jump to the manifest of monsters?
SPEAKER_00Alright, let's do the mana. Oh boy, the manifesto.
SPEAKER_01Because I think this will be the easiest of them.
SPEAKER_00I think I think you got it.
SPEAKER_01So where where do we rank the mummy?
SPEAKER_00Oh man.
SPEAKER_01I mean Let's go over the list real quick for a while.
SPEAKER_00Let's go over the list, guys.
SPEAKER_01At number 14, we've got Frankenstein's monster.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01Number 13, we've got the eight-man. 12, we have the fortune teller. 11 is the Vazquez Castle Ghost. 10 is the Black Knight Ghost. 9 is the Minor 49er. Yep. 8 is the Indian Witch Doctor. Yep. 7 is Captain Cutler. 6 is the Werewolf. 5 is Charlie the Robot. Yep. 4 is the Ghost Clown. Yep. 3 is Pietro the Puppet Master.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01Number 2 is the Franken Vampire. You know, the vampire of Franken Castle. Yep. And number one, you know, still reigning champ after episode 6.
SPEAKER_00The ghost of Elias Kingston.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So he hasn't. No one's been able to take his spot yet. So we'll I'm curious to see if anyone will be able to take his spot. So we'll have to find out. We'll have to find out.
SPEAKER_01But so where would you rank the mummy?
SPEAKER_00Oh man.
SPEAKER_01I mean, that's a grabbing skills is worse than Frankenstein's monster.
SPEAKER_00He is worse than Frankenstein's monster. Design? Yeah, design. Okay. I mean, he is you do see what he looks like before he's wrapped up. So there is a definite difference, and it doesn't seem like it's a lazy because he tried to put himself into that.
SPEAKER_01Although, what's the difference between a zombie and a mummy? That's what I want to know.
SPEAKER_00That's what you want to know.
SPEAKER_01Well, I mean, I guess that's that'll be a question for next week.
SPEAKER_00I g yeah, I guess so. Yep. Okay. I mean, he has he is pretty smart because he hands Velma apparently the right the right concoction to put in the thing.
SPEAKER_01So I mean Okay, so who do we think he's not better than?
SPEAKER_00I mean, I would say like iconic wise, probably not as good as Captain Colour. I mean, I would put him I don't know how high you want to put him. I mean it's hard to see it's the monster iconic one too, but yeah.
SPEAKER_01He is, but at the same time, like he's not as iconic. What do you think about it? This is the fourth monster that is, you know, a part of like the universal world of monsters.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01You know, like vampires, werewolves, and Frankenstein monsters and mummies are like very universal monsters, you know. So it's not like he's unique, right? Yeah, specifically to Scooby, like whereas somebody like Captain Cutler or the Minor 49er.
SPEAKER_00Right. So you want to say he's between these two between minor 49er and Black Knight, is that where you want to put him?
SPEAKER_01I think honestly, yeah. I think I think he's close to Black Knight Ghost just because he's there because with the Black Knight Ghost, he was, you know, a suit of armor that was brought to the museum.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_01You know, Dr. Niji was just utilizing the mummy for this you know exhibit at the college.
SPEAKER_02Yep.
SPEAKER_01You know, I think in terms of effective, like the mummy had more of a reason to be there than the museum curator dressing up as the black knight ghost after the initial kidnapping of Professor Hyde White.
SPEAKER_00Right, yeah.
SPEAKER_01So I would say maybe below minor 49er but above black knight ghosts. Right. No, I think that would be more I guess just because like, you know, he has more of a reason to be dressed up as a mummy.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01When yeah, you stop to think about it like Yeah. He did not have you know, the museum curator didn't have a reason to still be the Black Knight after you know he had no idea the mystery ink was gonna come back.
SPEAKER_00Right, yeah, he had no idea.
SPEAKER_01But okay. So let's go now to the Fred Jones failure files. First of all, I think we should figure out what what do we constitute as a trap for this episode? Oh man, I mean it's Scooby on the lawnmower, Scooby playing basketball.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_01Wow. Because ultimately it's the basketball hoop that they trap the monster with. But that all stems from the lawnmower. Right. So yeah, I'd say like lawnmower basketball.
SPEAKER_00Sure. I mean, yeah, I mean, I guess that would work.
SPEAKER_01Alright, going back to what our failure files are.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01Number 12 is just the tapestry they try to catch a vampire in.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01Then we have the giant slide.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01Number 10, we've got the instant suns.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01Number nine is the running of the dogs.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01Number eight is just the random biplane.
SPEAKER_00Yep. Random biplane.
SPEAKER_01Number seven is what I like to call Scooby Strikes Back.
SPEAKER_00That's a good one. I like the name of that one.
SPEAKER_01Tying up a vampire. Empire Strikes Back Cost Battle Style.
SPEAKER_00That's what it looked like. Before I think it was even before it came out that he did that. He did that before Star Wars came out, so that Star was.
SPEAKER_01So George Lucas obviously must be a Scooby fan.
SPEAKER_00He has to be a Scooby fan. I mean copied him.
SPEAKER_01He must have been unofficially confirmed by this podcast.
SPEAKER_00Unofficially confirmed. Whoops. Alright.
SPEAKER_01Then we've got the drum and tuba. Yep. We've got the crate and giant magnet. Yep. We've got the mirror.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01The chandelier to catch a werewolf.
SPEAKER_00Yep. Pretty effective.
SPEAKER_01Special effects nonsense. And the best trap to date is the better trap. So where do we think the lawnmower basketball goes?
SPEAKER_00I mean. I mean it's I mean, I would say it's definitely better than the At least up to the biplane. I mean, it's definitely better than any of, you know, any of those.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's definitely better than the biplane.
SPEAKER_00Ren yeah, the biplane. Yep.
SPEAKER_01It's still Scooby trying to turn Monster into a ghost.
unknownRight.
SPEAKER_00It's all trying to swam into him.
SPEAKER_01Scooby and his homicidal tendencies.
SPEAKER_00He's like really trying to wreck everything. I mean, well, it's probably better than Strikes Back, because it's not as it's more damaging than him just throwing him into the dungeon. You know.
SPEAKER_01Is it better than Yeah, I'd say it's better than the drum in the tuba.
SPEAKER_00I would say it's probably better than drum in the tuba.
SPEAKER_01Is it better than the chandelier?
SPEAKER_00I would say probably not. Just because just because well, I mean, even though even though Shaggy didn't have a way out versus Scooby, which just fell on the room.
SPEAKER_01Now is it better than the mirror?
SPEAKER_00I would say it's better than the mirror. I would honestly think it's better than the mirror, but yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Now I think better than the mirror. I mean though the mirror was funny, I just think it's probably better than the mirror. If that makes sense to you. It does. I love how we try to figure this out. Like as we're on the puck. Yeah. That's interesting. Using two laptops instead of one. I never knew we were so high tech. We're getting more high-tech here, guys.
SPEAKER_01Gives us a chance. It gives us a better chance of keeping track of the manifest, the monsters, and the failure files. Yep, definitely failure files. So I think that just about wraps up this mystery.
SPEAKER_00Yes, I suppose that wraps it up. Now we have to rate the episode.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah. Almost forgot about the table of snacks.
SPEAKER_00When you're the one who thought of that name, it wasn't me. I did the monster one. Manifest was my idea. So. Oh man.
SPEAKER_01How many Scooby Snacks do we give this episode?
SPEAKER_00Oh man. I mean, was it as good? Was it as good as last week's?
SPEAKER_01I don't know if I was like, I know last last week's I know we gave like a nice solid four because it was just missing that little bit to give it a perfect five.
SPEAKER_00Right. Yep. Oh.
SPEAKER_01That's just it. Like, do we think this is we like this one more or less than last week?
SPEAKER_00I think it probably is less than last week. Because last week was like a lot more. I mean, you know, we get Shaggy, well, Scooby beating up the monster, but yet, you know, we get all those other monsters. Right.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Um, you know, we get the better, you know, we get the better trap option.
SPEAKER_01You know, we get, you know, I just don't see it as good as coming off of last week's, I think, was a little rough on this one.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Like, yeah. You know, it's not a bad episode.
SPEAKER_00No, it's not.
SPEAKER_01I mean, I don't know.
SPEAKER_00Just we are so much liking the other one versus this one. I mean, I would have even, you know, argued that that one would have been, you know, you know, not even a 4.0. Like even more, a little like a 4.2 or 4.3 than we could have put that this one is a 4.0, you know, but I mean it's not as big of a deal, you know. But I'm like, I even thought maybe a 4.5, but you know, I mean, I mean, this one is iconic in the way that it is, and you remember Scooby's, you know, where he's punching and beating up the mummy. Yeah. That was iconic.
SPEAKER_01Crying over the stone Scooby statue.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, getting a whole apparently getting a whole box of Scooby Snacks, which I don't even remember ever getting a whole box for this episode, but yet you know, it's it's well, because that's the first time we actually see the Scooby Snack versus someone who's pulling them out of their pocket or something. So, you know, and it's not like it's Velma or Fred doing it, because if it was them, then Scooby probably wouldn't have done that because you know he never would have done that to Fred, because you know, Fred's, you know, Fred. You know, but because none of them actually had the Scooby Snack out until now, and then that's when it's like, oh, it's Shaggy, you get I'm gonna take all of it. Okay, alright. That's enough payment, I guess.
SPEAKER_01So you're thinking what, four?
SPEAKER_00I think in four, yeah. I think the same as, you know, well, I guess same as last week's, I guess, but you know, we're being rougher on this episode, I guess. But you know, coming off of such a good episode.
SPEAKER_01I don't think this was bad enough to be a good one. No, I don't know.
SPEAKER_00No, definitely not like the uh glass cast castle one, which probably was didn't we rate that one as a three? I think that was that might be our lowest rating so far. That one just wasn't.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I think well I I think they may have been I think there was one other one we gave a three, I think decoy for our dog napper, maybe.
SPEAKER_00Oh yeah, that one might have been lower just because it wasn't as I think on average, like they pretty much spend like threes and fours.
SPEAKER_01Threes and fours. But I think we have more fours and threes.
SPEAKER_00I think so, yeah. So I mean it'll be interesting to see what ones come up with five or even closer. I mean, we have a couple that are even closer to five, so you know it'll be interesting to see if we actually get any that are at five. You know, that definitely will be interesting to see what those ones are, you know, versus our own our own favorites, our criticisms, you know. Yeah, you know, just to see, you know, what what's going on, you know, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Exactly. You know? So I'm you know, I'm excited for these, you know, even though we're you know getting close to the end, you know, I'm the ones at the end are a lot, you know, you get a lot more, you get all the fancy chase scenes and all that, you know, get more of the iconic stuff coming out. So it's like, you know, I'm getting you know, I'm getting very excited for you know these next handful of episodes, you know. We're gonna get we're gonna have a lot more fun, you know, and have you know guest stars back and you know and all that cool stuff. Right, yeah. You know, people coming back and rejoining us, you know, and helping us out on the podcast that they love just as much as we do, you know. So that's awesome to hear that, you know. It is, yeah.
SPEAKER_01So yeah, you guys, you know, feel free to reach out to us if you want. Um you know, we'll be happy to hear from you guys.
SPEAKER_00Hear from you guys, ask for any questions, you know. Yeah, you know, anything you guys want to talk about.
SPEAKER_01Right. So now with all of that said, now we now we've wrapped up the mystery, the mummy, and this podcast episode.
SPEAKER_00Apparently. Yep. So finally we did it. Right.
SPEAKER_01So we will be back next week with which witch is witch.
SPEAKER_00Well, that's a good tongue twister.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Say that two, three times faster.
SPEAKER_01We have to find a witch for next episode.
SPEAKER_00We might have to find a witch. Are we gonna find one?
SPEAKER_01I don't know. Where would we even look?
SPEAKER_00Which is our thing, yeah. Where would we even look for one? Uh well, I guess we'll have to find one somehow for next week. So all right.
SPEAKER_01But until then, just remember, they would have gotten away with it too. If it weren't for those meddling kids.
