The fact that it's The Guardian who, for example, exposed Noel Clarke, who, subsequent to a libel trial, which he lost very spectacularly, has since been arrested and charged with sexual offences against women.

Jacob WalshGUEST
It was really weird because from the start of Cryptoids, we were like, hey, wouldn't it be cool if we could get Batboy? But it was just like we were just talking.
Jacob WalshGUEST
We were just like, oh, I mean, who even owns Batboy? We didn't even know if Weekly World News still existed, if there was a way to get a hold of him.
Jacob WalshGUEST
And then it was like not until... we got closer to the Kickstarter that we even thought that could be a possibility to actually do Batboy.

But we like, we found the people and we got in touch with them.

He'd apparently sold the story to both that tabloid and another, The Globe.
speaker_2HOST
The women believed he was trying to help.
John IadarolaHOST
Okay, with that said, we're gonna take a short break and come back with more news after this.
John IadarolaHOST
Trace it with like a reading of a will and it's just hand two dusty weekly world news.
John IadarolaHOST
And they're like, you don't get the house, but you do get this bat boy.
Trey CrowderGUEST

Trey CrowderGUEST
Bat boy is a high dollar issue.
Trey CrowderGUEST
It went quick.
John IadarolaHOST
You think weekly world news is still happening? Man, this
