Speaker 1 (00:56):
Ready, you will be amazed by the wizard of Weird.
This is Strange Thing Warren. I am Joshua Wape Warrent,
and each week on this show I'll be bringing up
brand new mind blowing content, news, exercises, and weird experiments

(01:18):
you can do at home, and a lot more on
this edition of the show My Scariest Experiences. You know,
I I I have to to confess something to you.
You know, gosh uh, your old pal here, the Great

(01:41):
and Terrible Joshua pe Warren sometimes just gets kind of
worn out talking about uh deep philosophy and quantum physics
and all that kind of thing. I mean, look, recently,
what have I What have I talked about? Oh? I
opened the Portal to Another Dimension. I did a show

(02:03):
about the Shuman Residence, Scientific Truths in the Bible, Who
Killed JFK? The Heepaphone, Whona? And sometimes I just get
worn out and I'm like, you know what, I think

(02:23):
I'm gonna do, like a simpler kind of show, and
hopefully you'll enjoy that as well. It's more like we're
just kind of sitting around next to the campfire. One
of the reasons that I say that is that, you know,
I live here in Las Vegas and it's an international city,

(02:47):
and whenever there's a bug going around, well, I'm very
likely to get it. Because one of the things I
like to do, of course, is I'll go out to
these casinos. You know, I'm not as big of a gamblers.
You might think I'll put twenty bucks in, maybe one hundred,
and that's all you need if you know what you're doing,

(03:07):
Sit there and gamble for a while, get some free drinks.
But the problem is you're touching everything, and you're you're
constantly touching these slot machines, and you know, if you're
not careful, then you'll get a cold, and so I
got I got a little bit of a cold now.

(03:31):
And it's also it's funny when when you are in
my position and you have a podcast and you say
you have a medical issue at all, like, oh, I
got a cold. All these people we'll contact you and
give you advice on what to do. But you have
to understand this is not live radio. This is a

(03:51):
recorded podcast. So I usually record these shows two or
three weeks before you hear them. So by the time
you've heard this, the cold is already over. So there's
no need to send me your your well wishes or
your recommendations. And you know, that's just part of life.
I mean, you got to you gotta get colds once

(04:13):
in a while, and hopefully that makes you a stronger person.
So I said, you know what, I'm going to take
it easy for this show. I don't know if it's
going to be a good show or not. You might
think it's a terrible show. You might think it's super boring.
But people ask me all the time, they say, Joshua,

(04:34):
you have been investigating the paranormal for over thirty years professionally,
what are some of your scariest experiences? And so once
in a while, I'm like, well, you know, let me
let me just go ahead and sit down and tell
you about some of my scariest experiences. By the way,

(04:56):
before I get into this, you know again, I recently
at a show about Who Killed JFK That got quite
a reaction. Let's see, that was episode two thirty nine
called Here's Who Killed JFK. A lot of people really
enjoyed that show. And I just want to mention real

(05:18):
quick here that anybody in history who wants to be
the president of the country is kind of insane because
normal people don't want to do that. Normal people do
not want to be in charge of a country. And

(05:42):
our founders here in the US they knew that, and
so that's why they put checks and balances and all
that kind of stuff in there to try to to
try to rectify the insanity of the egos that get
involved with politics. And I've talked a little bit about

(06:06):
you know, I don't really I don't usually get into
politics on this show, but I have said before that
I think that that's an inherent flaw in the political
system that normal, sensible, logical people don't want to get
involved in that. So we end up with leaders in

(06:31):
many cases who are kind of out there. And look,
I'm an independent. I have my entire life. I've always
been registered as an independent, and I have voted for
every party you can imagine locally and nationally. So I'm
not here to say anything in particular about a politician,

(06:56):
but I just think in general, people who want to
go into politics, they obviously think about life differently than
we do. All right, My scariest experiences, Well, you know

(07:17):
what's funny is that when when I meet somebody and occasionally,
believe it or not, so many people listen to this
show that sometimes I'll be at a restaurant or something
and someone will recognize my voice, and sometimes they can
confuse me with another person, you know, but anyway, they say,

(07:40):
are you? And so then they start telling me like,
oh god, you know, I bet your life has been amazing.
Tell me about some scary things that have happened to you.
And I think they're expecting me to say that I
have contra up a demon or something like that, and

(08:02):
that this horrific demon has appeared. And you know what
the truth is, I tried that. I made a documentary
years ago called Inside the Church of Satan, and I
was the first person who was allowed to go inside
the Church of Satan in many many years. And I'm

(08:24):
not even certain right now how you can see that movie.
But in that documentary, I mean I did a bonafide
ritual and I tried to conjure up the devil himself
or something similar. And I can tell you that I

(08:46):
have never seen a demon with my physical eyes. It's possible,
if you want to get psychic about this, that I've
seen it with my third eye. Sometimes. I mean, I
believe this. There's certain things that you can see spiritually
with your third eye that you don't see with your

(09:08):
physical eyes. So you know, I could sit here and
tell you stories like that, but I want to be
practical here. And the fact of the matter is I
have never directly with my own two eyes. I've never
seen a demon like a little monstrous creature with horns.

(09:31):
I've never seen an alien. I have seen ghosts with
my physical eyes, So I mean that's a different story,
because you know, I even took a photograph of well,
I consider a ghost a ghostly mists up. You know,

(09:53):
Ghosts or ghosts are different. Ghosts are things that are
trapped in the environment, and you just rarely get to
witness them. You know. When I was in Puerto Rico,
I used to hang out with all these old salty
fishermen and they said that sometimes you get lucky when

(10:15):
you were out there on the ocean at dusk, and
if you just were gazing in the right direction at
the right moment, you'd see the green flash, some kind
of weird atmospheric phenomenon. The sun is going down and
then boom, there's a flash of green. And man, I

(10:38):
was out there frequently looking for that green flash, and
I never saw it. But it's real, it's a true thing. Finally,
you can look it up for yourself online. I mean,
somebody went out and photographed the green flash. So I
mean there are things that are real, visual things you
can experience that are very very rare. Just because you

(11:02):
haven't seen it doesn't mean it's not real. And so
it's rare. To see a ghost, You've got to look
really hard for him all the time. So I've seen ghosts.
But you know, the funny thing is, I'm going to
surprise you probably because when we come back from our break,
I'm going to tell you about some of the the

(11:27):
truly scariest experiences that I have had, and most of
them are mundane and things that you can relate to.
I'm not talking about some kind of craziness. I'm talking
about things that are very, very practical and real. You'll

(11:48):

Strange Things all on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast
am para normal podcast network. And I will be right back.

(13:31):
Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast
to Coast af Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host,
the Wizard of Weird, Joshua Wa P Warren Beam again
into your worm whole brain from my studio in Sin City,
Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day is golden and every

(13:51):
night is silver Zoom. And if you happened to be
near Los Vegas, you have to go take my Haunted
Boulder City Ghost and UFO tour. It's only about a
thirty minute drive outside of Vegas. And I just recently

(14:14):
updated the website with a bunch of videos from basically
like YouTuber's influencer types who have taken the tour and
done videos about it Haunted Boulder City dot com. And

(14:35):
now that we're getting into the busy season, you know
this would be the time to do it because we
sell out frequently. You know, it's funny because all right,
my scariest experiences. I was talking to doctor Molder the
other day, and I hate having telephone conversations. It's just

(15:01):
I don't know if it's it's probably because that I
have just talked so much for a living for decades,
but he and I had a great conversation. It was
over three hours. Maybe I don't know. Maybe it's also
like a gen X thing I was looking the other day.

(15:22):
You know what gen X supposedly is. Let's see, it
says if you were born between the mid nineteen sixties
in the early nineteen eighties, you're supposed to be some
kind of I guess that's what they call gen X.
And I was born in nineteen seventy six, so I'm
going to be forty nine this year. Maybe it has

(15:44):
something to do with that. I don't know, but yeah,
we talked for hours, and it was one of those
conversations and it was like when we were done, we go,
you know, we should just get together and record ourselves
having one of these conversations and make like a documentary
out of it. One thing we talked about was this
method that doctor Moulder he uses all the time when

(16:09):
he's about to try to manifest something, he'll take it's
called pumping chi And at one point, I don't know
if I still have this on my website or not,
but I had this thing, this booklet on my website
at one point where it was like an instructional booklet
and it told you how to pump chi. So here's

(16:30):
the idea, Like, okay, if you want to manifest a
powerful ball of energy, you sit there and you relax,
and you put your your two hands as close together
as you can without touching them, and then you bring
them about six inches apart, and then you put them

(16:53):
as close together as you can without touching, you know,
palm to palm, and then two inches apart, and you
keep doing this so you start filling this kind of
like magnetic sensation, and it helps if you rub your
hands together and get them nice and stimulated. I'm doing
it right now, as you can tell. And what happens
is you start to build up this imagine it as

(17:17):
a ball of energy, and then once you have this
ball of energy, then you can place that onto your
wishing machine or your tepaphone or whatever your manifestation devices.
And he says that he does this all the time,
and that's one of his keys to success. And one
of the people that I met who made an impact

(17:40):
on me when it came to generating all that was
Grandmaster Tom Cameron, who lives in Chicago. So I believe
the very first time I went to Chicago, and gosh,
you know, I was a pretty young fellow at that time.
I was probably you know, certainly in my early twenties.

(18:04):
I went to Chicago. Uh, and he was teaching me
and other people how to create these kind of balls
of chi and and fire them at things. And we
have been on television together. I mean, uh, well, he
was on Ripley's Believe It or Not and Steve Harvey

(18:27):
and then and then I was there on a show
with him for the History Channel where we were measuring
him blasting these balls of energy and so. Uh so
one time I was at his house and I was crashing.
He was so nice he let me crash in his bedroom. Uh,
and I believe it again. It was the first time

(18:48):
I'd gone to Chicago. And then so we had a pizza.
He introduced me to Girdono's Deep Dish pizza. A lot
of people would say it's more of a pie. Whatever. Okay,
if you've never had gi your Donna's, go go try
it out. And so so one afternoon I woke up

(19:12):
and we'd had a long night, and I walked out
to his parking lot. Great because he kind of lived
in like a complex, and uh, there was a dumpster
there and I opened the dumpster to throw this pizza
box away, and a raccoon jumped straight out of this dumpster,

(19:39):
right at my face. That may be the scariest thing
that's ever happened to me, believe it or not, a
raccoon jumping out of a dumpster. There was another occasion
when I was growing up in western North Carolina when

(20:02):
I had a friend who had a pit bull, and
one evening we were outside and that pit bull went,
I don't know, he didn't like me for some reason.
Most animals liked me, but he went straight for my jewels.
And if he had not had a good leash on

(20:23):
that thing. Wow. And then one time I went to
a lion habitat and this lion saw me. That was
here in Las Vegas, they have a lion habit and
the lion ran up and started roaring at me. And

(20:45):
you see, the scariest experiences in reality that I've had,
just to be honest with you, have probably come from
from wild animals. You know. When I was when I
was a teenager, I went hiking one evening in the
Blue Ridge Mountains not far from Mount Pisga in North Carolina.

(21:12):
I was with a buddy and I walked up on
a black bear in the middle of the night, and
that black bear, you know, he or she or whatever
it was, looked at me, and I looked at it,
and we just stood there, and then it turned around
and ran off. And I had the same experience, similar

(21:36):
experience when I would camp at Brown Mountain where the
Brown Mountain lights appear where because that's actually a black
bear reserve, where I walked up on a black bear
and then a black bear would turn around and run off.
And then, of course you've probably heard talked about that

(22:00):
time that my wife Lauren and I we weren't married yet,
but we were living together and we had this house
out way out in the countryside of West North Carolina
now Alexander, North Carolina. And this black snake slithered up
into my bed one day, and let me tell you

(22:30):
that was you know, I don't want to tell that
whole story again, but I mean, like that was. I
woke up and there was a black snake right there
in my face, and this thing was I don't know why,
it was angry, and it was hissing and striking at me.
I disposed of that snake, and then a second one

(22:53):
was right there behind it. So I've had a lot
of these, you know experiences. Well, I think that's what's scary.
I think that wild animals are scary. Ghosts don't really
scare me, to be honest with you. And and for

(23:16):
some reason, I've always felt comfortable being in the water.
I mean, when I lived in Puerto Rico, I used
to swim way out sometimes at two o'clock in the morning,
way out into this harbor where all these boats were.
And I wasn't afraid to do that. Never been afraid

(23:38):
of men. Oh, women I think are scarier than men,
because you know, a man will get up in your face,
but a woman will just poison you. That's you know.
I've had some nightmares, you know. As a matter of fact,

(24:01):
I was told h less than a week ago, I
was diagnosed with sleep app you know, so now I
got to go have a seapat machine. So I've had
some pretty frightening nightmares. But you know, speaking of speaking

(24:22):
of like animals, Uh, here's a I gotta ask you
this trivia question before we go to this break, and
then when we come back, I have some other interesting stuff.
You know, I'm just riffing here. Okay, what do you
think are the loudest animals on Earth? I'll think about that,

(24:46):
don't look it up, don't cheat. What are the loudest
animals on Earth? And then I have a story for
you about this This lady, she wrote me a really
good question. She said, I have a hearted house. Well,
look stick around. I'm Joshua Pee Warren. You're listening to

(25:09):
Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Paranormal Podcast Network, and I'll be back after these important messages.

(25:57):
Welcome back to Strange Thing all the iHeart Radio and
Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host,
Joshua pe Warren, and this is the show where the
unusual becomes usual. You know, I really want to take

(26:18):
a moment to sincerely thank all of you who have
been listening to this show for years and who support
it in every way you can. You know, you put
the word out there, you go to the website, you
buy things because you know ultimately that's why. You know,

(26:42):
sometimes I feel like I can do kind of a
silly show where I don't have to talk about like
some super heavy topic because some of you are just like, hey,
I'm along for the ride, and you've always been really
ends in the ether, and because you know, this is

(27:05):
entertainment at the end of the day. I'm not a minister,
I'm not a doctor. I'm not a guru. I mean,
I don't even have kids. I didn't have kids because
I was like, I should not be a father, just
like you don't want I just I don't feel like
I'm qualified. This is entertainment. And if you if you've been,

(27:30):
you know, sticking with this show for a long time,
and you're you're just along for the ride, then you
know what you're You're the only thing that makes this
worthwhile for me. So so thank you for doing that.
And I do have, you know, a supernatural scary experience.

(27:53):
But all right, what do you think Let's get back
to the trivia question. The two loudest animals on Earth.
I could drag this out, but I'm just gonna jump
right into it. They say the loudest animal on Earth

(28:16):
is a sperm. Well, and I mean, obviously, well it's
going to be loud. But then I have to dig
a little bit deeper. And I thought, well, okay, well,
what's the loudest animal that's not in the water, And
my guess with some kind of frog or some kind

(28:38):
of like a little thing like that. Are you ready?
Are you ready? It's a Howler monkey. So animals are
just so bizarre in so many ways, and you know,
it's always surprising, isn't it. That's why I think that

(29:00):
if there are aliens flying around here, most of the time,
they're probably in the oceans instead of out in outer space. Well,
one of my scariest supernatural experiences, and I won't spend
too much time on this ironically, just because I've talked

(29:22):
about it before, is when I went to Myrtle's plantation
down there, and I guess it was Saint Francisville, Louisiana,
not too far from Baton Rouge. I was doing a
television show and I was able to go down there
a night or two before the crew arrived and stayed

(29:42):
by myself and this suite called the General David Bradford Suite.
And then late at night something started rapping on the door.
And one of the that I'm proud of is that

(30:05):
you don't just have to listen to my stories and
think they're bs because I actually have videotaped a lot
of stuff. Let's see here, I'm going right. I think
it's okay. I'm a YouTube Joshua P. Warren. Alone in
America's Most Haunted Bedroom. Yep, that brings it up. Alone

(30:32):
in America's Most Haunted Bedroom. This was published seventeen years ago.
It has one hundred and sixty seven thousand views. And
you can see that I was, in my opinion, I
was communicating with an invisible, conscious, intelligent being when I

(30:57):
was in this room, and I was the only on
the property that night, as it turned out. And you
know what's always perplexed me is it's like, why is
that scary? Because you would think that, you know, just
because there's a there's a ghost in your bedroom, that

(31:17):
doesn't mean it's like a scary thing. But there's something
I found inherently scary about the idea of sort of
an invisible person or an invisible intelligence being there. And
you realize it, I mean you recognize it and you

(31:41):
acknowledge it, and you go, Okay, I'm not I'm not
the only intelligent thing in this room. There's something else
in here with me that's also intelligent and able to
interact to some degree, and uh, I don't know why.
Why is that scary? I guess it's just, you know,

(32:02):
that fear of the unknown, just that it must just
be that very general fear of the unknown. And I
am sure that I've had other paranormal experiences, and like
it's this is one of those shows where it's like,
as soon as I'm done recording, I'll be like, oh, crap,

(32:23):
I forgot to tell this story or that story. I mean,
it's like, well, you know, one time I went to
this haunted house. It was a haunted farm in South Carolina,
and I believe something followed me back from that farm.
And I was sitting in my office about five o'clock
in the morning, and all of a sudden, the door

(32:46):
to my office just blasted open, and this cold, cold
air came in. And the craziest thing was that instantly
I had a boombox and it turned on by itself,
even though there were no batteries and it wasn't plugged
into the wall, and the boombox turned on and started

(33:09):
blaring some kind of insane music. And I looked and
it was one of those things where it's like with
my third eye, I was able to see that there
was some kind of a horrible dark entity in this
room with me, and I just started cursing at it
and saying every horrible thing I could say to it

(33:30):
to try to get it out of there, and that
worked and then it turned around and it left. So again,
you know, I'm kind of just riffing with this show,
but I do believe that, you know, my scariest experiences
in life have not come from animals, or excuse me,

(33:55):
not come from ghosts. It's probably been animals because I
don't know, there's just something so so visceral about an
animal like eating you. I guess. I mean, that makes sense,
doesn't it. And when I do this show, I take

(34:19):
a lot of notes about things that I just want
to bring up, and you know, sometimes I just have
an idea for just an interesting topic, because the great
thing about this show is that it's called Strange Things,
and that means I can just talk about anything strange,

(34:43):
you know, it doesn't have to necessarily be paranormal stuff.
And I got an email recently from Vance Pollock and
he said, are you aware of this phenomenon of anomalies

(35:09):
in baptism photos? I said, no, I never heard of that,
I mean, and he sent me. He started sending me
pictures of people because you know, I look, I was raised,
you know, Southern Baptist style and all that, and to

(35:31):
be honest with you, I've never been formally baptized, which
is kind of odd. I don't know why that is.
But you know, for a lot of people, when they
get baptized, it's a big it's a big, huge moment.
And so apparently there is this whole like field that

(35:52):
I didn't know anything about where when people get baptized,
they get their picture taken. I guess it's kind of
like a wedding photo or something like that, you know,
and then you get some kind of bizarre like orb
or ray of light or a ghostly figure in the

(36:13):
background or just like, you know, something crazy like that.
And so, uh, yeah, I just never even thought about that.
So I'm tossing this out there. If you uh have
access to what you think is a legitimate baptism anomaly

(36:36):
in a in a picture, please, you know, contact me.
Just go to Joshua P. Warren dot com and you'll
scroll down you can find my email address there. I'm
easy to find and I'd like to kind of like,
you know, look at these things and see if there
are any similarities. Nowadays it's harder than ever to analyze
weird photos. But anyway, we're coming up on a break

(36:57):
when you get back. So this this this lady should
email me and she said, I got this haunted house.
She says, it's so haunted, and I want to know
if I just burn this darn thing down and start
from scratch and build another house, is it still going

(37:17):
to be haunted? Good question, isn't it. So we'll get
into that and a lot more when we come back.
I'm Joshua pe One. You're listening to Strange Things on

(37:38):
the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network,
and I will be right back. Welcome back to the

(38:21):
Final setment. I have this edition of Strange Things on
the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.
I am your host, Joshua Plurren. I just thought of
another scary thing. When I was a teenager, one time,

(38:41):
my girlfriend and I went to an amusement park and
we were on one of those rides that kind of
looks like a big pirate ship that swings back and forth,
and for some reason, right when it got to the
upside down position, it stopped. I don't know how it

(39:05):
defied gravity. So I got to hang upside down for
a long time. I mean, it may have been as
long as thirty minutes, to the point where like grease
and oil and everything was running down out of this ride,
all over our clothes. I don't want to say where

(39:27):
that happened, because I mean, I trust me, I remember it.
But you know, I don't want to get like a
lawsuit for saying something about somebody. But I mean afterward though,
I mean, when they finally got us down, we of
course went to the office and they apologized and they

(39:50):
wrote us a check. It was not that much, though,
I mean it was. It was a few hundred dollars
and gave us new clothes and everything. And so if
they happened to me today, I'd be on the phone
with my lawyer so fast. I would not have signed
the settlement. But anyway, Hey, you know I talked about

(40:14):
this raccoon that jumped out of this dumpster in Chicago.
Here's a good question for you. Do you think that
raccoons are more related to dogs or cats? I'll think
about it for a second. Is a raccoon more related

(40:36):
to a dog or a cat? Well, it turns out
that according to scientists, they are more related to dogs.
Of course they're not. They're not dogs or cats. Raccoons
are part of this family. Oh boy, it's one of

(40:58):
those words tros preside, which includes ring taels. And anyway,
they're more closely related to bears and weasels odd creatures. Huh.
How about this now that we're talking about trivia? Uh,

(41:23):
how do you spell potato? Remember dan Quell? He was
struggling with it. Try to spell potato right now. See
if you can figure it out. Well, it's spelled p
T A T O and there's no e on the end.
And do you think a potato is a vegetable or

(41:49):
something different? Well, the answer is yes, it is a vegetable.
It's a starchy, tuberous vegetable native to the Americas. You see,
this is what I do for fun all day. I
just sit around and look up ridiculous stuff like this.

(42:12):
I got an email from this woman and she said,
I have a haunted house. And she said, if if
I tear this thing down and rebuild it will the
new house also be haunted, and so, you know what,

(42:34):
you'd think that that would be a head scratcher, but
for me, it really wasn't much of one, because I said,
I believe that it will still be haunted, because I
think that hauntings are recordings most often than not, not always,
but most often than not, hauntings are recordings within a

(42:58):
block or a chunk of space time. So once a
particular section of space time becomes haunted, then it's going
to be haunted. I don't you know, forever is a
big word. I don't want to say forever, but for
a long long time until perhaps that energy wears down,

(43:19):
which could take hundreds or thousands of years. And then
of course she had follow up follow up questions and
about details, and I said, well, I recommend that you
contact my friend Angela Moore if you because like I

(43:39):
just deal with my version of scientific answers. You know,
I'm not going to try to interpret things. Let's see
what's Angela Moore's website, Angela Fey Moore. Uh looks like

(44:00):
it's just uh, well, there you go. It looks like
that's it. Angela fey f A y E m O
O r E Angela Faymore dot com. I would if
you if you want to know, you know, something more specific,
I recommend that you contact her. And then this guy

(44:20):
emailed me. Let's see, his name is John, and uh,
you know I get I get hundreds of emails per day,
and it's impossible for me to answer everyone, but I
do my best to read everyone. And this guy named John,

(44:42):
he said, uh, he was he was listening to what
I said about opening the portal here next area fifty one,
and he said, uh, I'm getting that your open portal
may allow some particularly particularly nasty things to emerge through it.

(45:03):
What safety countermeasures are you using to keep this from happening? Okay,
So I've been talking about this for years now, and
so I just said, John, just go listen to this,
and I sent him a link to one of my shows.
But that wasn't good enough for him. So then he

(45:25):
wrote me back and he said, well, what I meant
to say is do you have a means of dealing
with whatever might come through? And then he wrote a
bunch of other stuff, a bunch of other stuff. You know.

(45:47):
I was going to read it, but I'm like, nah,
I'm not even gonna read this. So basically, here's the
point that I guess I'm making here. I've been doing
this podcast for years, and if you are new to
the program, if you're a little late to the dance,

(46:11):
and you send me an email and you want me
to catch you up on everything, that's not part of
my job. So you have to go back and listen
to the previous shows if you want to understand what's
going on here. But in short, to answer his question is,

(46:35):
for one thing, it's already happened, and nothing bad came through,
even though I do have a cold. It was that
darned portal. That portal gave me a cold. It's probably
hanging out with Forrest Connor International Flight perser. And then

(46:57):
also another thing is it's like it has a kill
switch on it. I mean it was designed so that
I could turn it off immediately if something if I
thought that something bad was coming through, I could turn

(47:17):
it off. Now that you know, that doesn't mean that
in a split second, you know, some horrific demonic force
might not be able to come through before I'm able
to do it. But yeah, as far as I can tell,
very very positive things happened from doing the experiment. With

(47:41):
the portal. I'm just worn out because I'm tired. It's
not you might not realize it, but it's not easy
to open a portal. It's not easy to go into Rachel,
Nevada in the middle of the desert and buy land

(48:02):
and open a portal. So but don't worry. Everything has
worked out just fine. So yeah, it's been kind of
a like I said, I've just been riffing for this podcast.
But you know a lot of times people like that,
so maybe you've had a good time. But believe it

(48:23):
or not, the clock has got ess. So I tell
you what we're gonna We're gonna end the show as
we usually do, with the one, the only, the original
good Fortune tone. And you know what, if you have
a glass of water or something like that, you might
want to put it near the speaker to absorb this.

(48:46):
But regardless, and and and then you know you drink
it afterward. You should know the routine. But anyway, here
it is the good Fortune Tom. That's it for this
