I find so fuckin funny how i feel really scared of the podcast and the story, and when i scroll down to see the comments i just see this one person wrote "WORM WIFE WORM WIFE" and i fucking lost it.
FOR REAL THESE COMMENTS ALWAYS MAKE ME GIGGLE
WORm WIFE WORM WIFFE
The comments always make me feel a little better inside.
Three kinds of comments- just for the people who don't know, Jane prentiss is the girl in the red dress who is attacking Martin - as someone who is terrified of insects I couldn't sleep after this - WORM WIFE WORM WIFE

Edit: grammar
“wHeRe aRe yOu gOiNg liTtLe sPiDeRs?!”
Jon is getting way to into this and I love it-
THIS COMMENT IS HORRIFYING AFTER JONS STATEMENT ABOUT "MR. SPIDER."
@@thecoalcoloredfox4004 Don't you want to be a guest for Mr. Spider?
@@Sxcheschka dude i own like five spiders irl. I love spiders. But that thing.. it scares me
@@thecoalcoloredfox4004 understandable. regular spiders are fine Jon's nightmare spiders, burn it with fire and don't stop burning it
Makes me think the web led Jane to the corruption
ok now im lowkey convinced jon is not a theatre nerd but instead some paranormal vessel for these statements, as probably all archivists are. hmm
O.O
Mayor Marshmallow HMMMMMMMM
@@Mondy667 :X
Could be supernatural channeling, could be method acting.
There is nothing quite like fully putting yourself in someone else's mental state, particularly if their mental state is not pleasant.
I once method acted an insane cultist being actively tortured by the PCs for a D&D campaign I was running.
I find it EMINENTLY plausible that Jon is doing this all on his own with no supernatural forces involved anywhere.
yeah thats what im thinking, when somebody chokes etc. he does it perfectly, beyond acting. its really strange
I feel so bad for Jane, honestly. You can hear the last vestiges of her own mind slipping as she succumbs to whatever the hive is doing to control her.
and all that stuff in her voice that you hear is jon being just as scared
nah, she's just a crazy worm lady. let her give people worms, don't shame :D
At least she's so far gone that she's not suffering
the way he started off the statement sort of sounding like himself and then his voice sort of twisted and changed partway through fully into Jane’s voice was stunning i could hear her speaking through him so clearly
Same, he's such an amazing narrator
Guess hes just a really dedicated actor /j
It's been 3 yrs, so you know by now.
Jonny is an amazing voice actor. But yeah.... I love that without saying a word or pointing to it in any way, they alluded to something that was happening since episode one, and people Noticed.
Though I think this is the first episode that Jon himself is audibly shaken by it.
There was a comic I read as a child that had a characther that could speak through other people's mouths. I left this episode with the uneasy feeling that just happened to Jon, that thing spoke through him. I hope he is alright
@@Nizati Was it alluded to, or more so "patched up" by the explanation later? I think I recall Jon saying TMA wasn't really supposed to have a huge interconnected plot at first, and wasn't going to explain things, but ended up going that direction.
To me, it feels much more like a, "Oh, we don't know why Jon was getting so into method acting during the statements, but saying it's one of his powers as an archivist retroactively explains it quite nicely" situation. I could be wrong.
so kind of the archives to let jane come in and do her slam poetry
Lmaooo
“I used to pick at my skin, you know. It was a compulsion. I would spend hours in the bathroom, staring-“
Me, who has had this exact problem for many years: hm, that hits a little too close to home.
“The pretense that a body is anything more than a wet home for-“
Me, who has an intense fear of insects crawling in my ears: HITTING A LITTLE TOO CLOSE TO HOME, HM?!
SAME!!!
Yep, hunt and destroy. Left scars in the end, but somehow got over it.
Yeah same. I've been doing the skin picking for years without really thinking about it until I actually found out in one of my psych classes that it was actually classified as a mental disorder called excoriation. At which point I kind of freaked out.
@@rinwyrm I’ve heard the term “dermatillomania” and kinda stuck with that to describe it lol
S A M E
That quiet moment after finishing the statement is *chef's kiss*
"Forgive me. It seems my academic detachment has fled me." I did wonder if Jonathan was just being dramatic in his reading because he liked it that way (of course its for the podcast) or because he genuinely gets somewhat swept away in the stories. I'd say he certainly did, this time
I think it's the effect of his affiliation with it
@@Mondy667 I listened to all 155 episodes so far in like two weeks and hooooo boy. The things I know now
@@hrani watching for the first time a d your comment makes me worried for the future episodes tbh, but like, in a good way.
@@torchstelechos8368 ah ha ha it's going to be fine
Nothing to worry about, especially the last episodes of season 4 are just fine. Just... fine... o.o
I think it's implied that he takes on the personality of the original person when reading a statement
He sounds so tired....get some rest king
Melanie probably needs some sleep, too. Seeing someone remove the skin of their arm and then *staple it back on* likely keeps one up at night.
@@toastghost9145 all live statement givers need some sleep, especially because of the. dreams. (:

"There are many things out there that are perfectly natural...
...it's not, though."
This is a powerful moment for us from Jon, that moment when he admits this fear.
I've just started this episode and he sounds so tired
So strained
It's quite upsetting as I've gotten quite attached to his sassy and rude character :(
so, how you feeling now?
Yea how are you feeling now yeetus deletus
Oh god yeetus deletus how are you faring
I've gotten attached to him too :^(
@@aubarlowemay I ask why your asking them this question?? Im getting afraid for Jons safety :')
OH GODS I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE GOOD THE MOMENT I HEARD THE LONG PAUSES IN HIS VOICE AT THE BEGINNING
My silly brain gave me the thought "imagine if the song changed based on what music jane liked" and I immediately imagined a bunch of bugs playing heavy metal music
LMAO xD Metal on Monday. Emo on Tuesday. Guilty pleasure country music on Wednesday. 90s nostalgia pop on Thursday [picturing the Insect version of the Spice Girls for some reason...]. Folk on Friday. Reggae on Saturday [Bugs With Dreads! ...roaches? ^^]. Gospel on Sunday.
The Beetles
me: oh the last one wasn't too bad i'm just gonna get some ice cream and enjoy :)
me, immediately: Never Again Shall I Eat
We’ll never learn...
we're all idiots, don't worry
... I'm eating pomegranate
haha yeah I'm eating cereal and it's all mushy... a little offputting now
I /was/ eating shrimp..... now I'm not.
ok at first I thought It was just him reading so dramatically either because he just had a knack for it, or for narrative effect on the audience, but the lengths he went for this one and the subsequent exhaustion really makes me think that he's somehow sort of becoming the person who's statement he reads
If you continued listening, I bet you realize now how close to the truth your comment really is….
As this comment was a year ago, I imagine you know the answer now... Good job spotting that unnerving detail.
‘I’m not one of the fools chasing fractals’
hm.jpg
The way her voice sort of slips between the real Jane that hasn’t succumbed yet and the Jane who is under this thing’s control that almost speaks in a sort of poetry
The structure of the statement itself was unsettling.... insanity was so real, as if it's slowly squirming it's way inside your brain too. Poor Jonathan. I do have a feeling that things will just be worse from here....
It’s always been my head cannon that Jon’s super-empathetic. He has some kind of supernatural ability to put himself in others shoes and read in their voice, feel what they felt, loose himself in their story until he snaps out of his and looks back at it objectively.
I always imagine him shaking his head like coming out of a trance when he’s finished with the statement.
All the people he works with assume he just secretly is a theater nerd has a flair for the dramatics and maybe that’s also true but really he just... looses himself in another’s memory.
Well, this comment was a year ago. Good job with your insight - you're not wrong.
3:30 "this place of books and learning, of _sight_ and _beholding_ "
CAHWHOAH
damn this is a well thought out story huh?
11:05 "webs have a song as well, of course" DAYUM!!!!! GUYS!!!
So is this Oliver the guy from Dreamer? He said he'd started working at a crystal store, and although his name wasn't Oliver in that statement I recall him saying he had given a fake name. I wonder if we'll see more of him in the future.
I thought of him too! He probably dreamed of her fate, given that she said he looked at her sadly, and later with horror.
yes actually! I can't say much more because of spoilers but it's him and he shows up again
wait who's oliver
@@Arya-el9ps the one who used the fake name Antonio Blake in Dreamer
If only he had a knack for Lucid Dreaming. Only those who can grasp the mind's fabric can weave their nighttime fantasies into reality. He is a mere observer, to the dream, and to its ties to the waking world.
Jane is connected to the hive mind, so she was able to mention something about "fools chasing fractals".
I'm pretty sure that there's a lot of references here to the recent(mostly) and future episodes.
Yeah the guy with the bleeding tree his father in his schizophrenia was obsessed with fractals. Died mysteriously to though it was ruled a suicide.
It seems to imply an awareness on Jane or the hive’s part of separate supernatural occurrences but makes them seem unrelated, or if related, only tangentially so.
"I'm not one of those fools who chase fractals" maybe she is talking about the builder with schizophrenia's dad?
That’s what I was thinking too
You know at the beginning i was thinking "Jon sounds odd, but maybe im imagining things". I WAS NOT READY FOR THAT MF EPISODE, THE FEELING IN HIS VOICE THID PODCADT IS A GODDAMN MASTERPIECE THANKS TUMBLR FOR THE RECOMMENDATION
Its always the under 20 min episodes that make the plot thicken.
Chicken
Can we talk about how complex the hive is? It actually has some kind of intelligence, I’ll tell you why.
The hive already made several choices:
1) It can kill within minutes as it did in this episode with the hospital staff
2) It can infest smn permanently without killing but taking over the will and the mind of the host as it did with Jane
3) It can infest someone without them noticing and without taking over their will, as it did with the girl in Squirm
4) It apparently needs a host to reproduce (kinda like a virus), but it has to choose to use the host for that purpose: in fact the host produces an egg I think (saying this bc of squirm episode) and dies laying it. Maybe it can only be done with a female human bc they could need her reproductive system. Otherwise I don’t think the worms can mate, nor they multiply without the giant eggs
5) It can either attack people or lure them with the song, as it did with Jane (btw cool how many songs turn up in this series, the piper, the calliope, the thing in do not open, etc..)
Then what’s the hive for? Can they live outside hosts? Then why don’t they just stay in the hive? The worms don’t apparently need to feed constantly to stay alive.. Like they didn’t even feed on the nurses after killing them. Why do they infest people at all? Is it possible that the worms are just a tool controlled by a way more powerful entity? I don’t think it’s only them who want to kill John. It’s a way bigger issue, there are many entities collaborating. Something mustn’t be discovered by humans. It mustn’t be stopped.
Can everything be associated with the cult? I wanna know which entity the cult prays, maybe then we can figure out the “paranomal creatures” hierarchy, if they care about each other..
Maybe everything I said is bs but I love this series so much and I love making theories about it
GOD I KNOW THIS WAS 4 MONTHS AGO BUT GODDAMN
A++ on The Magnus Archives test! Bravo!
good fuckin points!
You were so into this theory that I recommend for you to watch 'The Strain' series
Edit: Sorry, called it the Strand yet again and know it will show the original one in email :(
broooo is she single
Nah. She is many.
@@WowItsErin im SUPER open minded man i'm cool w that

Oh worm...
Every time I see this kind of comment they get more sad and apprehensive and I think that’s a good allegory for this series in general
ok the little pause at the start
"statement of... Jane... Prentiss"
👌
the stuttering at the end
👌👌
It was literally like he was coming out of a trance when he came back out of character
..... Well it's been 2 years... So you know now. This ep really did bring the issue to the forefront for alot of people.
“As I watch you through the glass heating a SANDWICH”
Me: pauses midbite from my own sandwich
Jons voice acting really popping off this episode !!!
I’m starting to believe that it’s not acting.
Jon does not need to do voices every time, yet he does and the theatrics is adorable. I imagine he wouldn’t for *her*, but he does and I don’t know why but it’s so cute
I feel like he just gets like... bored of his job honestly, and the theatrics entertain him
However this episode... I think it was less of an entertainment...
Hahahaha... My comment did not age well. I won’t say how, but uh... I was very wrong as to why he does the voices
Sarah Memes When did they reveal the reason I can't remember the episode

she's his enemy, in a way
she's also him, in a way
from # 26
"why don't you quit? i have to know."
"of Sight and Beholding" holy shit SHE KNOWS
"Sings that I am beautiful. Sings that I am a home. That I can be fully consumed by what loves me."
I'm in a toxic relationship and that hits way harder for me than any of the body horror.
i keep relistening to this ep. might be my favorite. it just scratches all my horror itches (..lowkey an unfortunate expression to use for this episode)
me with my eczema and horrible itching: ah another targeted episode, fun
same LMAOOOO
YEAH UH THIS FEELS PERSONAL
Lmao yeaahhhh
That was absolutely horrifying. You can literally hear the insanity in his voice 😖
The crazed tone in his voice. Beautiful.
also.... ITS WORM TIME BABEY!!!!
wonder what she means about the fools consumed by fractals, how does she know about that? is that a common thing? and she talks about the institute being of knowledge and beholding, and it made me think about the key guy who talked about the beholding being better than flames (don't exactly remember his full words or if it was someone else other than the key guy, but i think it was the episode with the burn victims)... beholding is just such a weird word for another character to use, especially two weird characters who keep showing up ahhhhh i wish i could get through all these videos in one day there's so much i want to know i wanna see how it all comes together!!!
Showboat Rhinoceros the mention of fractals reminds me of the one episode with the construction worker with the father that had Schizophrenia. And his father became like obsessed with fractals and their shapes and forms.
Michael knows about Jane, and the thing that possessed the priest interacted with the thing that was haunting the house in Burned Out, so I wouldn't be surprised if she knew about whatever is associated with fractals. because there *has* to be a thing that's associated with fractals; they've been mentioned several times now. He/she says "beholding" with a slight emphasis too.
the way she described the nest also made me think of the way the woman described the table in the episode about the guy across the street that ate paper and got replaced by his doppleganger
"my dreams are crawling and *many legged*."
...... reminds me of our friend in Archanaphobia... he described his dreams and troubles with sleep similarly. Coincidentally, Jane also opens up with a phobia- Trypophobia.
Also in the statement made by the guy in Archanaphobia, he remarked about how the worms may attract spiders that eat them...? Maybe I'm reaching but these two people seem to have very similar mindsets, and I'm lead to believe that IF the spiders are a big thing like the worms, that they are the natural enemy of them..? Or maybe spiders are just, y'know, spiders and eat whatever the hell including otherworldly parasitic worms. Who knows, my brain made the interesting connection
Crackhead thought though: since the spiders encased the arachnaphobic dude in webs, what if they do that to each of the worms' victims to keep the worms from borrowing out? 🤔 idk lol but it's an interesting thought, though I do acknowledge that from what we know, the arachnaphobic dude was not a victim of the hive
ok when i made this comment I was 4 minutes in. 11 minutes now and when Jane said "webs have a song, too" it basically felt like it was affirming my thoughts. Like I will 100% go down with this ship, them worms n them spiders gonna duke it out in the apocalypse I swear to God
Also the spider that harassed the dude was silver, no? Just like Jane's worms are part silver. So... what about two paranormal parasites, but one based with worms, and one based with spiders?
And they could indeed be enemies! I mean, you wouldn't want another parasite running around stealing your potential hosts, right?
Martin also ran into Jane while investigating spider guy's apartment.
The trick with parasites, is that they can only infect so much. The rest feed upon them, or the infection process sees the parasite die as well. It is fitting a spider acts as their enemy.
1st time listener and I think maybe that Insects in general seem to have a supernatural quality to them which wouldn't be surprising. Spiders and how they work and the worms and how they work seem to have the same quality and eerily similar effects. Hornets haven't been seen but somehow I feel they too would draw in death and subsequent retribution by burrowing inside you. I don't know how but I'm sure of it. Maybe it all draws back to The Hive? It feels like it would.
Or maybe over 30 episodes in 2 days of this stuff is driving me mad 🤣😅
as jon goes through these statements he's becoming more and more sucked into the people who have submitted them. he's stopped just pouring his heart out into the voice acting, it's like he's becoming a vessel
Me: *eating noodles while listening to this episode* "That's fine-..."
Wow this episode is powerful. Props to the narrator and the writers. As hard as this was to listen to it must have been even worse for them
the narrator and writer is the same person! jonny is incredible. this is one of my absolute favorites
@@letterinabottle3196 the fact that he named the Archivist after himself before he knew how involved the story was going to get is just *chef's kiss*
OH GOSH! this is the "no fear/one fear" comic meme...oh boy. The horror is real!
“My dreams are many legged” I just started watching and Jesus Christ the parallels are coming on strong
so many magnus episodes are good but i just keep coming back to this one! it's so well acted, and the writing is chilling every time
I gotta say, this is definitely one of the best acted episodes. The weariness and apprehension in Jon's voice, the erraticism of Jane's ramblings, *chef kiss*
"03:30" *"This place of sight and beholding."*
Now let it sink in
This whole episode had the base of my spine tingling and my mind writhing
Just like those worms.
@@UnknownRustt They have you.
At 9:00 is when I noticed that his voice REALLY starts to change.
You can notice the shakiness in his tone as if an elderly woman.
loving the "most replayed" being right at the beginning, after the intro cello sequence. what a mood. we're all the same people
I slightly traumatized my mother by quoting bits of this one to her. XD Especially "I itch" My favorite!
"that I may be consumed by what loves me" is one of the lines that really sticks with me, even through to season five
I itch all the time. Deep beneath my skin, where the bone sits, enshrined in flesh, I feel it.
Also, the obligatory.. oh worm?
Its kind of interesting that a eldrich monster would be angry about someone who just disregards it as unimportant.
Gertrude, glancing over the statement after James left : (⊙_☉)
Yeah, considering that most of this statements went through Gertrude at some point, I do wonder, what was her reaction? Was she as sceptic as Jon? Or was she "What the f...?" after such statements?
Okay, fucking EXCELLENT voice acting here. The way he reads Jane reminds me of Circus Baby- soft and slow, but with so much malice behind the words
*looks at Jon with fear and concern cause this was the one episode I felt scared *
Honey get therapy. Like now. Please.
When Jane talks about the people studying fractals (like the dad of the statement giver in ep 8) I wonder if those people are studying the "fractured spaces" as I've been calling them, where space warps and people find themselves in much larger areas, or suddenly empty spaces like the cave, the slaughterhouse, the field and church in Alone, and more...
Someone took bug collecting too far.
The singing seemed to have began luribg Jane in longer ago but what descided her fate was that spider showing her the way.
...
Just how many lives had been forsaken in that web.
First few minutes in and i already feel like taking a hard, long shower after this one
"I remember, before I found the nest, someone new came. His name was Oliver, and he would look at me so strangelly, not with lust or affection or content... but, with sadness" Mr. Banks, this u?
oh my gods, this was.... insane. it was like we could feel Jane's insanity through her words. definitely my favorite by far!!!
HUG HIM. I repeat. SOMEONE PLEASE HUG HIM
I love this show but it doesn't often REALLY affect me. I listen to it exclusively during the day with my curtains open in the safety of my room. This episode made me feel so uncomfortable that I felt sick just drinking my cup of tea
I love the subtlety here in his beginning log before the statement;
the subtle laxness, reluctance and even exhaustion in his voice, verses the acute, stoic monotone of previous statements shows the development of behind-the-scenes events taking a toll on him. I adore the acting here
man... I feel so bad for everyone, for Jane, for Sasha, Jon, Martin, everyone. but this is very interesting, and I can't wait to see what mysteries lie beyond... you might say, I'm ITCHING to see what's next?... really only SCRATCHING the surface?................ :D
When Jane was talking about how a class mate once told her that a blackhead was a hole in her face all I could think about was when I was in 1st grade and I had just found out that one of the kids who bullied me was allergic to bees so I told him that anything with a cluster of small dark holes could house tiny wasps and ants and such...
I now realy hope I did not give that boy a pathological fear at age 6
“it’s not, though.. I know it’s not natural”
THE CLOuDS MOvED IN FRONT OF THe SUN ANd MADE MY ROOM DARK WHEN HE SAiD THaT I AM QUAKInG
I just realised. 31 episodes. About 11 and a half hours of runtime. And this is the first time I've ever even heard him sound the tiniest bit happy, let alone LAUGH
I know it's just because he's impersonating someone crazy but it's a nice sound to hear, especially after the way he sounds so miserable. I mean I love the usual cold annoyed tone but this is just a rare delight ;)
the voice acting in this ep...... DAMN
as someone who read a book about guinea worms as a child and subsequently was mildly traumatised, this and all the other worm episodes unsettle me so very deeply. brilliant work!!
I remember when I was small I read this creepypasta about a girl whose acne meds got contaminated with worm eggs and what happened when they hatched; this keeps reminding me of that.
This one put me on edge way more than all the other ones by far, just because Jon's voice was so crazed sounding.... don't get me wrong, all the other stories have been absolutely amazing, but Jon's retelling of this statement was simply terrifyingly terrific.
DAMN, the raw feeling in his voice made this episode ansolutely fanfuckingtastic! Indeed, it didn't say much new about Jane Prentiss, however... I felt like I understood lots simply from the voice acting itself. I do worry for Jon, though. While he does usually get carried away and voice acts statements, this was rather unlike himself - as if posessed. *shiver*
"fools chasing factorials" - HOLD UPPP
So, i noticed the sound of a beating heart amidst the whole audio, i know that it wasn't mine for i could feel mine beat nano instants after hearing it. I don't know it felt unsetling how i Just noticed, did it always had this sound in prior episodes or it was because it was jane's depoiment? If it was an agitaded beat, maybe could be sound of john's heart as he reads it, but it was so calm, beating steadily as if to drown the sound of my own, drawning it to pump in it's unnerving rhytm. Pretty spooky
this is the first time i get why people have trypophobia holy shit
i hate it and love it at the same time
also, i love how jonathan is reading it so passionately and even laughs as jane at some point but hes still so scared at the end and in the beginning, hes either a VERY dedicated theater kid or thats a clue that hes also controled or something idk but its fun
This one... This one is really good.
I don't know how many people have literally gone mad after listening to The Magnus Archives, but I bet you all the money in my pockets there's a big spike at Episode 32.
Let's all appreciate the voices, shall we? The voice acting is just so perfect. It struck me in this episode ESPECIALLY.
"I itch!"
Me:
Starts itching
15:13 I take this as her referring to her head, not an actual place. The metaphors coming around full circle
Easily my favorite episode of the podcast so far, and despite the story of course progressing and becoming (even) more involving, even in retrospect I think this is the episode I think of when I realize just how beautiful Jonny's voice is. So soft and flowing...
AAAAA JONNNNN the second this started I started crying LISTEN TO HIM SJDHDHBF
Fully believe that Jon’s way of keeping himself entertained while archiving is to perform his heart out for these recordings
I completely forgot that Jon was narrating this episode by halfway in. He embodied Jane so perfectly....it's unnerving almost
In previous episodes it’s always been odd the extent to which Sims gets into character-but with this episode, the real twist is that this whole time he was _holding back._
(Without a doubt the best episode so far, holy heck; perhaps it’s a little early to say, but there’s no way this isn’t a highlight of the series as a whole.)
I love the way this was written and I thoroughly enjoyed the voice acting!
I always come back to this episode, even if it makes my skin crawl.... it's just so goood
oh hey oliver cameo
yeah ! i wonder how he saw her in his dreams
wait who is oliver again?
@@beltaya276 death guy who dreamed abt gertrudes death a few days before it happened
I don't think that Landlord set the building on fire on accident...
Also, its said that it only took 1 minute for the 6 hospital staffs to die from the worm infestation, if michael really did put one to Sasha James, it should have killed her already, but since its been stated by michael that it wants to be "friends" maybe this is why the hive didnt killed Sasha right away.
Also, i dont want her to become the next Jane Prentiss.
Yeah, I think I believe Michael when he said he was just putting away the worm that was about to go inside Sasha. He's giving me a creepy-but-benign vibe, like he's not one of the most vile creatures out there.
I think it removed a worm. Its fingers cut in like her skin was paper, and it took it out saving her, so she could report back?

i've caught, though there could be more
end - talking about oliver especially
eye / beholding - "this place of sight and beholding" etc.
spiral - "i could watch the patterns on it's surface all day, and i do, but i'm more interested in what lies behind, i'm not one of those fools who are chasing fractals"
desolation - very obliquely through talking about arthur nolan and how he likes to interact with / control over the apartment.
web - "the spiders have their own sort of song"
and ofc,
corruption - to know "you could be consumed by that which loves you" !
"have you ever heard of tripophobia?"
it's true. the comments were right. if you have a fear of something, the magnus archives really does have an episode on it
Maybe a little late but I'm just going to start taking notes of names and events to keep track of the overall story. Seems better than just trying to remember details or checking any wiki which must be full of spoilers.
...good idea. I thought about it before, but was too lazy to actually do it... but I guess I'll start now lol
I don't want to, but this episode had me understanding Jane. Her statement almost had me longing for that same feeling, but WORMS! No, thank you!
