Season 8 - Episode 7 - Aired 2/17/2018
The recent boxing match between KSI and Joe Weller was a feat that took literal months of preparation by two dedicated YouTubers, but per usual, the mainstream media quickly discounted it.

For two years, one mystery has continued to linger over the FNAF franchise -- what was in the box?

Well, it's not all that easy to answer. Because it's my theory, my FNAF theory, that the contents of the box have changed three times.
