The Footage of the Diamond Tooth 19.07.2026

For some reason these "experts" don't connect this footage to "The Speckled Band," because they fall so heavily for the "diamond tooth" bait like the fools they are. We agents of Moriarty spend a lot of time altering that Watson footage and don't appreciate when we can't even have decent investigators to challenge us. They probably aren't even going to read this description that we hacked into the...

The Footage of the Moriarty Propaganda alias Young Sherlock 17.03.2026

The Footage of the Christmas Pudding 01.08.2025

The footage of the Wrong Podcast 30.03.2025

Hello. I've only got a few seconds here to type this, but, Chizzers just pushed some other podcast into this feed to add more confusion to this show's mission.

Talon King struggles to document the Watson documentary footage titled "The Case of the Impromptu Performance" on YouTube after being disturbed that another Watson seems to be documenting cases on a new podcast and distracting innocents from the original Watson.
