car – Beyond Beyond Belief

#42 Futzing with the wrong drivers [S4E10]

By Jesse Chapman | December 25, 2018

Jesse pitches his Beyond Beliefe App which would randomize BB stories from all four seasons. This way you would get a fresh mix bag of stories each time.

This leads to a discussion of each host’s voting strategy and meta-game.

Story 1: Moonstruck Beach – An aspiring writer moves to a secluded town and finds herself the target of a dangerous man.

How can a ghost use printers and why wouldn’t the printer immediately warn her.
If it was true wouldn’t moonstruck beach be an actual book?
Tiffany wonders how many people need to die for this woman to get a best selling book?

Story 2: Healing Hands – A nurse caring for a dying patient, witnesses a strange visitor.

Jesse hates single-source stories.
Chris believes it, according to the ghostly rules.
Mark talks about how lazy he is.

Story 3: Aspen Sunny Side – A group of friends mountain biking get a bad feeling when one doesn’t return.

Most people have bad feelings all the time, so this could definitely have happened.
Kyle thinks it was accidental astral projection.
Tiffany wonders why no one just uses a phone.
Jesse found this story very complicated. None of the character actions make sense.

Story 4: Night Walker – A scammer is approached by his neighbor to scam her husband only to discover she isn’t exactly human.

Vampires? Everyone agrees this is just nuts.
Since there was another true vampire story on BB, could this one be true?
Kyle dives into the Vampire Rules and doesn’t know if she could hide her fangs.

Story 5: Hot Car – a couple, framed by a mysterious woman, get karmic retribution after being released from jail.

Did the woman confess to easily?
It’s a coincidence-based story, so the group believes it.

Friends of the podcast Max Labella and Ashley Walker join the studio and listen to audience-submitted stories.

The story results are revealed.

#37 Critical hit [S4E5]

By Jesse Chapman | October 9, 2018

The group compares Don Lafontaine and Campbell Lane’s voice over work on the show.

Story 1: House Of Shadows – A house sitter finds a strange video on the TV that seems to be coming from inside the house.

Everyone agrees this one was really creepy.
Tiffany feels it’s too trope’y.
They debate why the murder went to Europe.

Story 2: One Hand In The Till – A son desperate for money, gets a mysterious visit from his dad.

They agree there are too many Beyond Belief’y elements going on.
Jesse likes that it’s a fable of good vs. evil.
Kyle thinks maybe the dad just had a premonition.

Story 3: Teasdale’s Motor Car – A car enthusiast finally gets his dream car, but it comes with a catch…

Kyle thinks maybe the car was possessed.
Chris decides to go the opposite of what he’d usually vote
Mark thinks the writers just like to write car stories

Story 4: The Vision – A man tries to stop a bus, after having a vision of an accident.

Mark points out the writers probably just watched the movie Speed.
Most agree there are a ton of stories like this in the world.
They point out the unnecessary boss/secretary subplot.

Story 5: The Grave – A conspiring wife is tormented by guilt over her late husband.

Chris thinks maybe a ghost could kill grass.
Jesse doesn’t understand why the husband’s warning couldn’t have been more interesting.

Part 5 of our Ouija experience:

On this week’s episode, we interviewed modern sage Ian Sneed and asked: what are some tips and tricks for conducting a Oujia board night?

The story results are revealed.

#25 The Beyond Belief Cinematic Universe [S3E6 with Mohamad el Masri]

By Jesse Chapman | May 8, 2018

Chris is out for this episode, but in his place we have guest host Mohamad el Masri, who is a writer on HBO’s Here And Now. Mohamad wants to believe in the supernatural but ultimately comes at things with a scientific approach.

Story 1: Red Line—a reckless race car driver gets a warning from beyond the grave.

Mohamad wonders if the speedway is haunted. Jesse believes that ghosts can haunt people in addition to places. If only Chris were he to answer that question…
Maybe the heat and the fumes caused the driver to hallucinate.

Story 2: Two Sisters—a woman marries her dead sister’s husband, only to discover something strange with the wedding dress.

It’s a logistical nightmare for the sister to switch clothes with her dead sister in the middle of the funeral floor.
The dress may have been un-wearable after the morticians fixed it to the dead body.

Story 3: Eclipse—on the eve of a full moon, a prisoner believing he is a werewolf asks to be placed in a room with no windows.

Jesse believes this one is a bottle episode.
Kyle points out that the vampire segment was true.

Story 4: The Ice Box—when a man suffers from heat stroke outside an antique store, a large block of ice appears at just the right moment.

Mohamad points out that the character in the Little Giants was named The Ice Box.
Mohamad doesn’t buy the initials carved into the icebox. Kyle thinks this detail was just added by writers.
Jesse thinks it was just a hot day in the writer’s room.

Story 5: The Gathering—a burglar attempts to rob four elderly women, but discovers he may be outmatched when strange things start to happen.

The group loves this one so much… but does that make it fiction?
Mohamad thinks it felt too silly to be fact.

The story results are revealed:

Tiffany gets a ZERO.
Mohamad points out the relevance of Beyond Beyond Belief in today’s culture.

#24 Weeng weeng weeng weeng [S3E5]

By Mark Walberg | May 1, 2018

Mark still can’t decide on an intro, and there’s a theme to this episode: Dreams. And Revenge. Umm.

Story 1: The Nightmare—a woman who’s having nightmares of her husband dying, sets into a motion a specific sequence of events.

Mark still believes that dreams can predict the future. Jesse thinks it’s more like deja vu.
Most don’t believe that a person could stab a bush with shears in such a way that it would impale someone.
Tiffany thinks the woman killed the man and came up with this crazy story.
Everyone is impressed by how smart and competent they portray the groundskeeper.

Story 2: The Stalker—a widow & daughter are plagued by visions of a horrible ex-boyfriend through the fathers compact.

Turns out men don’t know what women’s compacts are.
No one understands how a man can be thwarted by shining light in his eyes.

Story 3: The Impossible Car Dream—a boy’s dream of his dream car comes true, but with a twist of vengeance.

Tiffany feels this is realistic but doesn’t see how it was told.
Jesse points out that it feels like a local news story, but who pieced it all together?
The 16 year old son was definitely played by a middle aged man.
They point out the weird dream sequence and how repetitive it is.

Story 4: The Dresser—a hot shot decorator takes over the mannequin display, only to discover some may not want him there.

The group agrees this is one of the wackiest stories yet.
Jesse thinks the man came up with this mannequin story to get out of the job.
Can it be too fiction to be fiction (TFTBF)?
Somewhat similar to The Twilight Zone episode The After Hours.

Story 5: The Burial—a tale of premature burial in the historical South ends in a shocking discovery.

Historical stories tend to be fact.
Kyle thinks it sounds like an urban legend for a southern hero.
Jesse couldn’t understand a word any of these men were saying.

Break: This episode is brought to you by the Beyond Beyond Belief $1 Used Car Lot!

The story results are revealed:

Jesse points out a new theory: historical story so it’s fact (HSSIF).
The coin got 100% of the stories correct!

#13 Ten thousand Beyond Belief dollars [S2E7]

By Mark Walberg | January 16, 2018

Today we review Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction season 2, episode 7. Kyle and the gang agree that this episode was particularly good, though Kyle doesn’t quite know what a creepy noise sounds like, or what jelly sounds like. Jesse admits he doesn’t have a good grasp on the stories this week. Chris asks off air, “Do you guys write down fact or fiction ahead of time?” Kyle doesn’t. Tiffany does. Mark usually writes “fact” for all the stories ahead of time; Jesse usually writes “fiction”.
