00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:05,000
The comedy4cast Network. Let's dog ear that for now.
2
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:13,400
Well, hi. Clinton here. Welcome to the Dog Days of Pumpkin Spice Season.
3
00:00:13,980 --> 00:00:20,420
Yes, August got away from me because life. So this is my unofficial extension of Dog Days.
4
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,260
For more information on that, go to dogdaysofpodcasting.com.
5
00:00:25,260 --> 00:00:30,020
I always use Dog Days to give you 31 episodes full of some interesting,
6
00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:32,799
yet totally useless, odd news.
7
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,100
And this year, to celebrate the Platinum Anniversary of comedy4cast,
8
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:43,500
or PAC for short, I'll end each Dog Days episode with part of a classic comedy4cast
9
00:00:43,500 --> 00:00:46,720
episode. So, let's get started with...
10
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,700
Odd News PAC!
11
00:00:49,460 --> 00:00:53,760
When you think of a fantasy vacation home, you might picture a castle.
12
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,740
Well, have we got one for you.
13
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,240
It has a gleaming white exterior, resplendent with gothic-inspired architectural
14
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,780
features, including flying buttresses, pointed arches, and ribbed vaulting.
15
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:09,040
There's even a bell tower, and iconic round turret built into this castle.
16
00:01:09,220 --> 00:01:14,300
Walk up to the front door landing via the split staircase and step into the spacious living room.
17
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,340
Beyond that, you'll find a spiral staircase and a kitchen.
18
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,280
Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms and a salon. There are balconies,
19
00:01:21,580 --> 00:01:23,480
a private patio, and more.
20
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,780
But don't get too carried away with the scale. The footprint of this fairytale
21
00:01:27,780 --> 00:01:31,580
castle is not that much greater than the average American suburban home.
22
00:01:31,740 --> 00:01:36,760
The majesty comes from the vertical lines, making this vacation home feel rather impressive.
23
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:42,680
Now swing wide the bedroom window on the side of your castle and wave good morning to your neighbor.
24
00:01:42,980 --> 00:01:47,840
You're sure to see them, because your dream castle is just a few feet away from
25
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,140
their home, which is an identical gothic-inspired castle, just like the one
26
00:01:52,140 --> 00:01:56,120
on the other side of your vacation home. And just like the one across the street.
27
00:01:56,260 --> 00:01:59,940
And all the other homes all the way down the road this way, and that way,
28
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,200
and the next street, and the one after that.
29
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,460
All exactly the same.
30
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:10,840
Welcome to Burj al-Babas, an abandoned mega-development located in northwestern
31
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,740
Türkiye, halfway between Ankara and Istanbul.
32
00:02:13,740 --> 00:02:18,440
The project was aimed at the wealthy elite—perhaps those weary of Monaco and
33
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,860
southern France—or Arab Gulf
34
00:02:20,860 --> 00:02:24,560
investors who would be interested in spending their holidays in Türkiye.
35
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:30,280
And this resort promised everything—unique villas with amenities like a built-in
36
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,419
elevator, underfloor heating and jacuzzis, thanks to the area's famous thermal
37
00:02:34,419 --> 00:02:37,639
springs, and views that overlooked idyllic woodlands.
38
00:02:38,570 --> 00:02:43,850
Well, the management company made it clear to prospective buyers that no alterations
39
00:02:43,850 --> 00:02:48,530
could be made to the exterior of your vacation castle, or vassal, if you will.
40
00:02:48,669 --> 00:02:55,070
Meaning it would forever be identical to the resort's 731 other vassals,
41
00:02:55,310 --> 00:02:58,690
packed in tighter than a size 10 foot in a size 6 shoe.
42
00:02:58,970 --> 00:03:03,310
And the underfloor heating and the jacuzzis? That ended up being too expensive,
43
00:03:03,310 --> 00:03:05,370
so they were dropped from the plans.
44
00:03:05,490 --> 00:03:10,430
Just like how the in-home elevators were scrapped. after the elevator shafts had been built.
45
00:03:10,650 --> 00:03:15,030
We're also not sure how many of the vassals would have had magnificent views
46
00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:17,150
of those idyllic Türkiye-ish woodlands.
47
00:03:17,310 --> 00:03:20,690
Many of the units are on the same level, meaning you would have been more likely
48
00:03:20,690 --> 00:03:25,090
to have a magnificent view of the back of your neighbor's villa, their identical villa.
49
00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:29,330
Construction on the 732 vassals began in 2014.
50
00:03:29,490 --> 00:03:36,310
By 2018, 587 were in various states of construction. But opposition to the project
51
00:03:36,310 --> 00:03:38,790
from members of the local community was growing.
52
00:03:38,950 --> 00:03:42,370
The town of Mudurnu is a potential UNESCO World Heritage Site,
53
00:03:42,430 --> 00:03:46,850
which dates back to Roman times, and is celebrated for its distinctive Byzantine
54
00:03:46,850 --> 00:03:48,130
and Ottoman architecture.
55
00:03:48,390 --> 00:03:52,990
The mini-chateaus were completely out of place. Then, an economic crisis hit
56
00:03:52,990 --> 00:03:55,890
Türkiye, and the development company went bankrupt.
57
00:03:56,170 --> 00:03:59,990
Plans were put on hold. People who had purchased vassals for as much as half
58
00:03:59,990 --> 00:04:02,750
a million dollars couldn't move in, possibly forever. However.
59
00:04:03,090 --> 00:04:07,390
Nothing was 100% finished, and for some reason the richest of the rich lost
60
00:04:07,390 --> 00:04:10,830
interest in a resort that looked like a castle farm. Go figure.
61
00:04:11,030 --> 00:04:15,870
The vassals now sit silent, exposed to the elements and ridicule.
62
00:04:16,029 --> 00:04:19,649
In case you're curious, we'll have a link in the show notes for this episode,
63
00:04:19,790 --> 00:04:25,970
Drawbridge Not Included, over at comedy4cast.com, all one word with the number 4.
64
00:04:26,339 --> 00:04:30,220
Where you can see a Google Maps overhead view of this repetitious resort.
65
00:04:30,420 --> 00:04:33,360
You can also drop down to see it via Google Street View.
66
00:04:33,580 --> 00:04:37,140
Just remember, there's nothing wrong with your eyesight. You are seeing double,
67
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:39,420
and triple, and a lot more.
68
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,980
And now, let's celebrate 20 years of comedy4cast with this classic clip.
69
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:52,000
For this clip, we're headed back to November of 2010, and a parody of all those
70
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,660
Ghost Hunter shows, and Bigfoot shows, And, well, you get the idea.
71
00:04:57,060 --> 00:04:59,640
This clip is from the setup of the story. As soon as we got the call, boom, we were on our way.
72
00:05:08,860 --> 00:05:11,940
Okay, we're rolling. Time to get some background information.
73
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,720
We're headed to the Venus Arms Hotel and Towers.
74
00:05:15,060 --> 00:05:18,020
That's the building in the center of town, right? The one with the observation
75
00:05:18,020 --> 00:05:19,899
deck on the fourth floor? Yep.
76
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,060
The Venus Arms is this crazy old building down in the center of town.
77
00:05:24,060 --> 00:05:27,080
It has this observation deck way down on the fourth floor.
78
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,640
It seems like they've heard some strange noises in the building lately.
79
00:05:31,060 --> 00:05:34,300
Carol, what do we know about the Venus Arms Hotel and Towers?
80
00:05:34,700 --> 00:05:37,420
We know the place opened in 1953.
81
00:05:38,580 --> 00:05:43,740
Wow, that's more than 50 years ago. Yep.
82
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:49,100
Amazing the place is still standing. They really built things to last back then.
83
00:05:49,420 --> 00:05:52,600
The call came in from a Mr. Danny Hillcrest.
84
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,040
Okay, I think the first thing we need to do when we get to the hotel is speak
85
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,920
to this Mr. Hillcrest. Great idea.
86
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,800
Jacob, I've got a question. Yeah, what's that?
87
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,700
Why didn't we go over all this stuff when we were in the office?
88
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,160
Well, it's so much cooler to communicate via these walkie-talkies on the way there.
89
00:06:13,380 --> 00:06:17,240
But wouldn't that make more sense if we weren't all in the same van?
90
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:24,120
Carol can be a little naive at times. How can we use walkie-talkies when we're not walking?
91
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,100
Finally, we got to the hotel. Okay, we're here. Let's go in.
92
00:06:35,830 --> 00:06:40,050
Welcome to the Venus Arms Hotel and Towers. Boom.
93
00:06:40,470 --> 00:06:44,790
Immediately we see this guy in some kind of wacky military uniform coming towards us.
94
00:06:45,090 --> 00:06:48,850
Whoa, what's that all about? Can I take your bags? No thanks,
95
00:06:48,970 --> 00:06:52,130
soldier. Most of the time I can usually find them again.
96
00:06:52,330 --> 00:06:55,110
We're Spirits and Hauntings Advanced Asset Management.
97
00:06:55,390 --> 00:06:58,510
How's that? You can call us SHAAM for short.
98
00:06:58,750 --> 00:07:03,590
But that's with two A's. I really think we should have thought that name through
99
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:07,290
a bit more. Oh, there you are.
100
00:07:07,490 --> 00:07:10,410
You, uh, know these folks, Mr. Hillcrest?
101
00:07:10,630 --> 00:07:15,050
Of course I do. I can tell a SHAAM a mile away.
102
00:07:15,470 --> 00:07:20,130
See what I mean? Uh, Mr. Hillcrest, you're the person who called us about your
103
00:07:20,130 --> 00:07:22,130
apparition. I love that game.
104
00:07:22,630 --> 00:07:27,670
Remove wrenched argyle. What can you tell us about what's been happening here?
105
00:07:27,830 --> 00:07:36,470
Oh, we've been hearing eerie, spooky noises here at the hotel lately. What kind of noises?
106
00:07:39,810 --> 00:07:43,690
That was pretty good. It almost sounded just like it.
107
00:07:43,970 --> 00:07:48,350
Well, what do you know about that? That sounds like it could be old lady Cindy
108
00:07:48,350 --> 00:07:52,690
Mendenvernanhorffen and the Venus Arms Ghost.
109
00:07:53,330 --> 00:07:58,930
So then, out of nowhere, this cap guy tells us there's a ghost haunting this place.
110
00:07:59,430 --> 00:08:04,950
Didn't see that coming. What happened to this Cindy Mender Mylar moped?
111
00:08:06,790 --> 00:08:09,850
This Cindy person? Did she fall down the elevator shaft?
112
00:08:10,070 --> 00:08:14,770
Die in a horrible hotel fire? Did she have a heart attack in her room and go
113
00:08:14,770 --> 00:08:16,050
undiscovered for weeks?
114
00:08:17,090 --> 00:08:19,490
You're a bunch of sick pups, you know that?
115
00:08:22,350 --> 00:08:25,410
That about wraps it up for today's Odd News Pack.
116
00:08:25,610 --> 00:08:29,270

00:00:49,460 --> 00:00:53,760
When you think of a fantasy vacation home, you might picture a castle.
12
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,740
Well, have we got one for you.
13

There's even a bell tower, and iconic round turret built into this castle.

Beyond that, you'll find a spiral staircase and a kitchen.
18
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,280
Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms and a salon. There are balconies,

00:01:21,580 --> 00:01:23,480
a private patio, and more.
20
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,780
But don't get too carried away with the scale. The footprint of this fairytale

00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,419
elevator, underfloor heating and jacuzzis, thanks to the area's famous thermal
37
00:02:34,419 --> 00:02:37,639
springs, and views that overlooked idyllic woodlands.
38
00:02:38,570 --> 00:02:43,850
Well, the management company made it clear to prospective buyers that no alterations
39
00:02:43,850 --> 00:02:48,530
could be made to the exterior of your vacation castle, or vassal, if you will.
40
00:02:48,669 --> 00:02:55,070
Meaning it would forever be identical to the resort's 731 other vassals,
41
00:02:55,310 --> 00:02:58,690
packed in tighter than a size 10 foot in a size 6 shoe.
42
00:02:58,970 --> 00:03:03,310
And the underfloor heating and the jacuzzis? That ended up being too expensive,
43
00:03:03,310 --> 00:03:05,370
so they were dropped from the plans.
44
00:03:05,490 --> 00:03:10,430
Just like how the in-home elevators were scrapped. after the elevator shafts had been built.
45
00:03:10,650 --> 00:03:15,030
We're also not sure how many of the vassals would have had magnificent views
46
00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:17,150
of those idyllic Türkiye-ish woodlands.
47
00:03:17,310 --> 00:03:20,690
Many of the units are on the same level, meaning you would have been more likely
48
00:03:20,690 --> 00:03:25,090
to have a magnificent view of the back of your neighbor's villa, their identical villa.
49
00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:29,330
Construction on the 732 vassals began in 2014.
50
00:03:29,490 --> 00:03:36,310
By 2018, 587 were in various states of construction. But opposition to the project
51
00:03:36,310 --> 00:03:38,790
from members of the local community was growing.
52
00:03:38,950 --> 00:03:42,370
The town of Mudurnu is a potential UNESCO World Heritage Site,
53
00:03:42,430 --> 00:03:46,850
which dates back to Roman times, and is celebrated for its distinctive Byzantine
54
00:03:46,850 --> 00:03:48,130
and Ottoman architecture.
55
00:03:48,390 --> 00:03:52,990
The mini-chateaus were completely out of place. Then, an economic crisis hit
56
00:03:52,990 --> 00:03:55,890
Türkiye, and the development company went bankrupt.
57
00:03:56,170 --> 00:03:59,990
Plans were put on hold. People who had purchased vassals for as much as half
58
00:03:59,990 --> 00:04:02,750
a million dollars couldn't move in, possibly forever. However.
59
00:04:03,090 --> 00:04:07,390
Nothing was 100% finished, and for some reason the richest of the rich lost
60
00:04:07,390 --> 00:04:10,830
interest in a resort that looked like a castle farm. Go figure.
61
00:04:11,030 --> 00:04:15,870
The vassals now sit silent, exposed to the elements and ridicule.
62
00:04:16,029 --> 00:04:19,649
In case you're curious, we'll have a link in the show notes for this episode,
63
00:04:19,790 --> 00:04:25,970
Drawbridge Not Included, over at comedy4cast.com, all one word with the number 4.
64
00:04:26,339 --> 00:04:30,220
Where you can see a Google Maps overhead view of this repetitious resort.
65
00:04:30,420 --> 00:04:33,360
You can also drop down to see it via Google Street View.
66
00:04:33,580 --> 00:04:37,140
Just remember, there's nothing wrong with your eyesight. You are seeing double,
67
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:39,420
and triple, and a lot more.
68
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,980
And now, let's celebrate 20 years of comedy4cast with this classic clip.
69
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:52,000
For this clip, we're headed back to November of 2010, and a parody of all those
70
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,660
Ghost Hunter shows, and Bigfoot shows, And, well, you get the idea.
71
00:04:57,060 --> 00:04:59,640
This clip is from the setup of the story. As soon as we got the call, boom, we were on our way.
72
00:05:08,860 --> 00:05:11,940
Okay, we're rolling. Time to get some background information.
73
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,720
We're headed to the Venus Arms Hotel and Towers.
74
00:05:15,060 --> 00:05:18,020
That's the building in the center of town, right? The one with the observation
75
00:05:18,020 --> 00:05:19,899
deck on the fourth floor? Yep.
76
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,060
The Venus Arms is this crazy old building down in the center of town.
77
00:05:24,060 --> 00:05:27,080
It has this observation deck way down on the fourth floor.
78
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,640
It seems like they've heard some strange noises in the building lately.
79
00:05:31,060 --> 00:05:34,300
Carol, what do we know about the Venus Arms Hotel and Towers?
80
00:05:34,700 --> 00:05:37,420
We know the place opened in 1953.
81
00:05:38,580 --> 00:05:43,740
Wow, that's more than 50 years ago. Yep.
82
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:49,100
Amazing the place is still standing. They really built things to last back then.
83
00:05:49,420 --> 00:05:52,600
The call came in from a Mr. Danny Hillcrest.
84
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,040
Okay, I think the first thing we need to do when we get to the hotel is speak
85
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,920
to this Mr. Hillcrest. Great idea.
86
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,800
Jacob, I've got a question. Yeah, what's that?
87
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,700
Why didn't we go over all this stuff when we were in the office?
88
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,160
Well, it's so much cooler to communicate via these walkie-talkies on the way there.
89
00:06:13,380 --> 00:06:17,240
But wouldn't that make more sense if we weren't all in the same van?
90
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:24,120
Carol can be a little naive at times. How can we use walkie-talkies when we're not walking?
91
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,100
Finally, we got to the hotel. Okay, we're here. Let's go in.
92
00:06:35,830 --> 00:06:40,050
Welcome to the Venus Arms Hotel and Towers. Boom.
93
00:06:40,470 --> 00:06:44,790
Immediately we see this guy in some kind of wacky military uniform coming towards us.
94
00:06:45,090 --> 00:06:48,850
Whoa, what's that all about? Can I take your bags? No thanks,
95
00:06:48,970 --> 00:06:52,130
soldier. Most of the time I can usually find them again.
96
00:06:52,330 --> 00:06:55,110
We're Spirits and Hauntings Advanced Asset Management.
97
00:06:55,390 --> 00:06:58,510
How's that? You can call us SHAAM for short.
98
00:06:58,750 --> 00:07:03,590
But that's with two A's. I really think we should have thought that name through
99
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:07,290
a bit more. Oh, there you are.
100
00:07:07,490 --> 00:07:10,410
You, uh, know these folks, Mr. Hillcrest?
101
00:07:10,630 --> 00:07:15,050
Of course I do. I can tell a SHAAM a mile away.
102
00:07:15,470 --> 00:07:20,130
See what I mean? Uh, Mr. Hillcrest, you're the person who called us about your
103
00:07:20,130 --> 00:07:22,130
apparition. I love that game.
104
00:07:22,630 --> 00:07:27,670
Remove wrenched argyle. What can you tell us about what's been happening here?
105
00:07:27,830 --> 00:07:36,470
Oh, we've been hearing eerie, spooky noises here at the hotel lately. What kind of noises?
106
00:07:39,810 --> 00:07:43,690
That was pretty good. It almost sounded just like it.
107
00:07:43,970 --> 00:07:48,350
Well, what do you know about that? That sounds like it could be old lady Cindy
108
00:07:48,350 --> 00:07:52,690
Mendenvernanhorffen and the Venus Arms Ghost.
109
00:07:53,330 --> 00:07:58,930
So then, out of nowhere, this cap guy tells us there's a ghost haunting this place.
110
00:07:59,430 --> 00:08:04,950
Didn't see that coming. What happened to this Cindy Mender Mylar moped?
111
00:08:06,790 --> 00:08:09,850
This Cindy person? Did she fall down the elevator shaft?
112
00:08:10,070 --> 00:08:14,770
Die in a horrible hotel fire? Did she have a heart attack in her room and go
113
00:08:14,770 --> 00:08:16,050
undiscovered for weeks?
114
00:08:17,090 --> 00:08:19,490
You're a bunch of sick pups, you know that?
115
00:08:22,350 --> 00:08:25,410
That about wraps it up for today's Odd News Pack.
