[TRAILHEAD?] Dan's Radio Show

I looked around to see if this was on here, and I couldn't find anything like it so I decided to quit lurking and post this. I hope I'm not breaking some sort of unForum etiquette (uniquette?); I always get a bit skittery when I first join a forum. Ok, so:

I've been following this YouTube show since January: http://www.youtube.com/wheresgeorge1025

Every three episodes or so are funny, and I always like watching grassroots shows develop, but anyway, on Monday, Dan put up this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfnL9Yya1uM

Apparently some guy's been stalking him. I was a bit worried until I saw the video that prompted Dan to start talking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjejSLwYJoM&feature=video_response

Dan hasn't put up another video, I guess because of the holidays, but knowing my luck, this'll die out the day I post a trailhead about it. Rolling Eyes

Anyway, the whole thing looks pretty puzzly and interesting and I thought I'd put it up since no-one else has. I guess I'll re-lurk now...

NOTE TO NEWCOMERS: All ARG movies have been moved to this account: http://www.youtube.com/theresistanceis due to this video.

I was closing everything to go to bed when I noticed Dan put up a new video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkXbsAtQLgY

I haven't looked at shoretv's new video yet.

shoretv's new video starts with:

12 0:35
23 1:57 both typed in a yellow-ish font on black background.

at 4-5 seconds it changes to

blue
15 5:43 in a blue font

The audio sounds like 2 different clips from this Dan guy, and they go from one to the next at the same time as the number messages change.
Yellow: "...let me know, 'cause you're kinda freaking me out, and uh..."
Blue: "...it's the outside of my house, you know, my apartment building..."
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
So I have a (very small, rather obvious hunch) that the numbers refer to episodes in Dan's shows, and the point in time during the episode shows something significant, or the word said at that point contributes to a message. And someone with audio software would have to dig, but during the 2nd (blue) quote, it sounds like someone's talking in the background.
But it's pretty late, and I need to get some sleep to function tomorrow. I'll try get back and contribute something worthwhile later.

This looks fucking interesting.

Things I've gathered: This response needs to simply be reversed (unable to, thanks Windows Movie Maker.) I'm sure that will be simple for anyone here.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjejSLwYJoM

Codex: I've tried lining up what Dan says on his videos to the times on Codex, doesn't make much sense:

-I'm gunna make a radio show.

-Imortalized on the mighty youtube.

-Oh man, oh man, oh man.

No idea what the blue symbolizes either.

Done what FirstSword82 suggested, the result is pretty much the same with Six's.

At the same time, I try something different. While Six quoted us the whole sentence during the stated timestamp, I tried to get the word/phrase being said right at (or nearest) the timestamp.

Which gives us...
12 0:35: I'm
23 1:57 on the
15 5:43 man

If inserting the word "blue" before the third timestamp...
"I'm on the blue, man!"

...which probably is a completely wrong solution.

I tried to see whether any special object in yellow or blue color appeared at the timestamp, can't find any...

Or the key is actually in the "Enohp" video instead of Dan's past episode?

I just looked at the times myself and when I look at the timestamp for #23 the "on" seems a little cut off. Maybe we're just supposed to focus on the "the"? "I'm the blue man"?

Ok so I got the audio from "Enohp" and reversed it. It's pretty interesting, but I don't know how to post it. Could someone give me a how-to? Embarassed

Nevermind, I got it. I'm pretty sure the mangled-up voice at the end is saying "Find the number." If you listen really hard over the phone ringing, you can hear the noises that phone buttons make when you push them. I'm guessing we have to find their corresponding numbers.

PS. Has anyone tried contacting shoretv or Dan? Maybe they can give us more clues.

PPS. I just realized: "Enohp" is "phonE" backwards! Very Happy

Caesar1 seems like a user name. I don't really feel like figuring out where, but it's not Youtube and it's not Twitter.

Caesarean Cipher, 1 rotation. Or in unfiction terms, ROT 1 or -1 cipher.
Just a possibility.

EDIT: Nevermind, that's what I get for just reading the newest post. Forgot I spent all day at work.

So I Googled that quote and apparently St. Augustine of Hippo said it: http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=dont+you+believe+that+there+is+in+man+a+deep+so+profund+as+to+be+hidden+even+to+him+in+whom+it+is&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

The Wikipedia entry for Augustine has a familiar looking picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustine_of_Hippo

Does anyone know anything about him?
