Speaker 1 (00:54):
Ready to will be amazed by the wizard of weird.
This is a strange thing when Joshua Warren, I am
JOSHUAAE Warren. At each week on this show, I'll be
bringing it brand new mine going content, news exercises and
(01:15):
weird experiments you can do at home, and a lot more.
On this edition of the show, I tested mystical homemade
drinking waters for you, and I have some legit results.
Now I understand you might say, wait a second, how
(01:38):
do you test the mystical quality of waters? Because after all,
I could have just had a bunch of cups of
water and pick this one up and say wow, I
just drank this and I feel great. But no, no,
(01:58):
I knew there needed to be more of a scientific standard,
and so I bought a new type of meter. I'm
going to tell you about that meter and how you
can get one of these yourself, if you like. I
got mine off with Amazon. It's not that hard to
come by. But let me start by asking you a question.
All right, Let's say you have eleven identical cups of
(02:24):
water in front of you in terms of like the
design of the cup, like Dixie cups or whatever, and
each one has a water sample in it, and you
are determining what water might be the water that gives
you the biggest bio energy boost that might be the
(02:44):
best for your health, to make you feel better, to
give you more energy to help make you an even
better master manifestor let me give you these the contents
of these eleven different cups, because this is what I tested,
just for now, and can you tell me or I guess,
just start thinking about which one you think might supposedly
(03:05):
have the better quality for drinking. Okay, Number one tap
water just right out of your kitchen sink. And of
course I live here in Las Vegas, Nevada, and so
I guess everybody's tapwater is going to vary a little bit.
(03:25):
But I just had one cup of tapwater, and that's
my control. In other words, that is what everything else
is being tested against. And by the way, if you're curious,
here's what they say about Las Vegas tapwater. It's certainly
safe to drink, meets all or exceeds all federal you know,
Safe Drinking Water Act standards, but it's considered very hard
(03:48):
due to a high mineral content, especially calcium and magnesium
from the Colorado River, which can result in an unpleasant
taste or odor. So again, hardness is you know. In fact,
they claim here Las Vegas has some of the hardest
water in the USA. So, while again safe, it causes
(04:11):
mineral build up on fixtures and can affect taste. It's
really kind of a pain. And you know what, the
water is also disinfected with chlorine, which may contribute to
this distinct and sometimes unpleasant taste and smell. But hey,
what do you expect. We're here in the desert where
we're not even really supposed to have all this drinking water.
(04:31):
So it's a bit of a challenge, but that's the
control that I used from my own sink. Number two
is filtered tap water from my sink. Now here's what
I mean by that. If you open up the little
cabin underneath my sink, we had a plumber installed this
(04:51):
special filter. I'm looking at it right now. It's a
little it's a white tank. It's kind of like a tube.
And I'm not promoting this or anything, but just so
you know, so if you want to do your own research,
you'll know what my standards are. This is from a
company called hydro Vive h y d r o v
i V hydro Viv, and it says tailored tap water.
(05:13):
So basically, when you put the sink the tap in
a certain position, it gets filtered, which certainly helps a
lot with the flavor and all those other issues. So
that was the second one. So I now have control
which is the straight out of the faucet, and the
(05:33):
other one is filtered from the faucet. Number three, I
also have a swimming pool, and I have a guy
who comes by once a week and services that swimming pool.
And so my third sample was swimming pool water, which
of course should have all kinds of chemicals in it.
The fourth one was, uh, just tap water with a
(05:56):
quartz crystal inside of it, literally at the bottom of
the cup. And I think the finest example of a
quartz crystal is a Herkimer diamond, and so I put
a beautiful Herkimer diamond down in that. For my fifth one,
I had a cup of tap water, but I dropped
at amethysts inside of it. And of course amethyst is
(06:19):
the beautiful purple stone. And I believe amethyst is also
considered a type of quartz. Let me make sure it
says yes, amethyst is a variety of quartz, and it's
composed of silicon docs I just like other quartz, but
gets its purple color from iron impurities and natural irradiation.
That's interesting, isn't it. Okay, So now we're comparing I guess,
(06:41):
two different types of quartz. And really, you know, if
I were going to give somebody advice about like crystal power,
if they go, look, I'm new to this whole crystal thing.
If I'm going to wear one one crystal on a
necklace or whatever, where should I start? What would I be?
And I'd be like, look, the basic go to for
that is is a quartz crystal? Next and This is
(07:03):
where it gets especially weird. Next, I decided to do
my first sample number six with something that had no
direct contact with the water. I printed out the Golden
Ratio pattern. And if you've listened to the show for
a long time, you probably know what I'm talking about.
If not, you look at a in a nutshell. It
(07:26):
is a pattern that is perfectly designed. It looks like
a circle with a sort of sort of a maze
or a labyrinth inside of it, and it represents the
absolute perfect proportions and dimensions fail within mother nature. I
(07:48):
even have a pendant that I sometimes have available on
my website that is a Golden Ratio pendant, but it
is supposed to create a perfectly balanced harmonized energy. And
so I took my sixth cup and I just put
it on top of a print out from my computer
printer of the Golden Ratio. So again, first one with
no contact. The next one also was a no contact one.
(08:11):
I used a wishing machine. I took one of doctor
Moulder's wishing machines, and this one, I believe was the
model e Lux that I used for this particular one,
so it did have an electrical power supply. I got
a post it note, and I wrote on that note
(08:31):
my intention healthiest water possible to drink, and I put
that on the input plate. Then I put the tap
water on the output plate, and then I tuned the
machine so that it would supposedly direct the intention through
the machine into the water. And again this is an
interesting one because the water was not in direct contact
(08:53):
with anything. It's just sitting in a cup on top
of the the wishing machine. And by the way, the
cups I used were indeed in every case identical black
plastic Dixie cups, so I was not using glass for
this experiment. The next one is, well, I just took
(09:17):
one of my nice gold chains. You may or may
not know that I have a company that sells gold chains.
It's called the Real gold Chain dot Com. And I
can't tell you how many jackpots I've hit wearing wearing
one of my gold chains. And they're actually very affordable
(09:38):
if you consider what's happened with gold recently. The Real
gold Chain dot Com. I took one of my big
gold chains and dropped that in the next cup. And
then for the next cup number nine, I took a
one of Tesla's purple plates and again you. I had
(10:00):
to kind of follow my work to know exactly what
I'm talking about. But there's a special type of metal
purple plate that is treated in a way based upon
Nikola Tesla's work that supposedly acts as a passive antenna
that helps to capture positive life energy chie key praana
(10:21):
from the environment and then project it. And a lot
of people put these under plants to help plants grow bigger,
or they put it next to their bed to sleep better,
or they put it on a sore spot on their
body to help it heal. So I took a purple
plate and put that so I have a little one
that's a circle. It's probably of the size of a
half dollar, and drop that one in the ninth cup
(10:43):
and the tenth cup in the tap water. I dropped
a silver dollar, a United States silver dollar, I guess
as a silver eagle. And you know, silver has got
a very interesting relationship with with water because it's been
known for you it sterilizes things. Pirates used to put
silver in their water when they were out at sea
(11:06):
so that the water wouldn't go bad. There's a whole
big thing about that. And then finally, for this particular
experiment Number eleven was distilled water from the grocery store,
So this is very high quality distilled water. I have
my own home distiller, but I wanted to have the
best possible. So of those eleven types of water samples,
(11:32):
go ahead, and you predict right now which one you
think might supposedly be better for you to drink. Give
you more energy, give you more manifestation power, all that
kind of stuff. And when we come back, I'm going
to explain to you the science behind how to test this.
(11:52):
I'm going to tell you exactly how I tested it,
and then of course I'm going to give you the results,
and I think you might find them quite fascinating. You
know what, We talk about all kinds of odd things
on the show, and you never know what direction we're
going to go. So if you like that kind of thing, well,

the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast, a M paranormal podcast network,
and I'll be right back. Welcome back to Strange Things.
(13:32):
Call the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast, a M paranormal
podcast network. I'm your host, the Wizard of Weird, beaming
into your wormhole brain from my studio at Sin City,
Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day is golden and every
night is silvers. You zoom. Let me just tell you
(13:53):
you might be tempted to just fast forward to the
end of the show and find out which one is
the best listen. That's not gonna work. That's not gonna
work in this case. Trust me, it's more complex than that.
I'll explain why the journey is the interesting part of
this show and what you're gonna learn. I'm gonna take
(14:13):
you with me on this journey that is kind of
like a hall of mirrors when you start trying to
break it down. And let me also point something out
I'm talking about in some of this podcast people who
are claiming that there are health benefits to drinking certain
types of water. Here is I always give this disclaimer. Okay,
I am not a medical professional of any kind. Don't
(14:38):
take advice from me. I'm not a doctor. I hate exercising,
I hate eating healthy stuff. I have explosive well I
want to get into that. But this is why I'm
interested in this kind of thing, because I'm always looking
(14:59):
for a loophole, a shortcut to give me just a
little edge in life, and sharing what I found with
those of you who might be looking for the same thing. Now,
I feel like I'm a little out of my league
because chemistry has never been a strong point for me.
I'm not a water expert, even though I do water
experiments all the time of a metaphysical nature, like with
(15:22):
parasigmatics or you know, looking at water from Lords France
under a microscope, and you know I do that kind
of stuff. But that doesn't mean I'm a water chemistry expert,
because you know, water has it does have mystical properties.
I mean, for one thing, the human body is mainly water, water,
and empty space. And you know our planet is a
(15:44):
water planet. You know it's covered in water. Our atmosphere
is largely determined by how water behaves. When we're looking
for life on other planets, we're always talking about looking
for water. Water has always had a mystical property. I mean,
look at baptisms and all they have sort of symbolized
(16:06):
throughout history. So that's why I'm always interested and learning
more about whether or not water really can sort of
hold things. And I've done I've tried to reproduce doctor
Maseru Emuto's Masaru Emoto's experiments. I interviewed him. You can
go back and listen to one of my shows where
(16:26):
I talked about masru Imoto and what I found when
I tried to reproduce his stuff. But anyway, let's get
back into how. Here's how I found out about this.
Because I'm interested in water, I started watching a lot
of YouTube videos. I'm a big YouTube fan. I'm always
watching them, and I came across a variety of videos
(16:47):
where I would have someone standing there talking about water quality,
and the person would be holding a little meter that
looks kind of like a probe and Generally, the person
would say something like this, this is an OARP meter,
and we're going to use it to test the quality
of this water and see what's best for drinking. And
(17:08):
then they would have maybe some water there that's a
control and then some water that's marketed as alkaline or whatever,
and then they would test it and a number would
pop up there, and then they would always say, oh,
the lower the number of the better because a low
r RP reading, a low O RP reading means that
(17:29):
there are more antioxidants and it's better for you to drink.
And I saw people using this meter, and I was like,
is this a real meter or is this time kind
of like metaphysical meter, you know? And I wasn't sure,
so I started looking into it, and yes, it's absolutely
(17:49):
a legitimate scientific tool, ANRP meter. And now let me
point out there are lots of different ways of measuring
water quality of water. Uh, this is just one of
them called OARP. I mean, because there's pH levels, there's
all kinds of stuff. So but I'm only focusing on
OARP because all these people I found on the Internet,
(18:11):
we're always talking about like, oh, the lower the ORP,
the better it is. To drink. That's what they were saying.
So I was like, okay, well, what exactly is OARP?
And here is first I'm going to give you, like
the really boring scientific explanation. It is a measure of
the tendency of a chemical species to acquire electrons from
(18:37):
or lose electrons to an electrode, and thereby be reduced
or oxidized, respectively. Did you get that? I bet you didn't.
So let's try to put this into Layman's terms a
little bit better. OARP oxidation reduction potential ORP. In water measures,
(18:59):
it's a bility tea to sanitize contaminants with higher positive
millivolt readings, indicating stronger oxidizing and bacteria killing and cleaner water.
Ideal for swimming pools is seven hundred and seven to
fifty millivolts, while drinking water requires at least six fifty millivolts.
(19:21):
Negative ORP value suggest reduced antioxidant like conditions. So I
was like, Okay, they're saying that if the reading is higher,
there's more electrical activity I guess, which means that the
(19:42):
water UH is more sterile. But if it's lower, then
it produces more antioxidants. Which are supposed to be good
for the for the body. So I was like, okay,
let's go back to square one on this. We've all
heard about like antioxidants are good, so what are the
So apparently you have these unstable molecules in your body
(20:05):
called free radicals. They're they're not good. And I'm not
going to again, I'm not going to pretend like I
understand all the medical science behind this, but they're saying
free radicals they're unstable things and they cause a lot
of volatile inflammatory reactions. And antioxidants are substances could be
natural or synthetic that protect cells from damage caused by
(20:31):
free radicals. And so basically it says that you know,
they they these these antioxidants, again a little bit scientific,
they donate electrons and neutralize free radicals, and this reduces
a lot of different things leading to chronic conditions. I
(20:52):
don't want to get into specifics, but they're primarily found
in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains. And so what
I thought was interesting about this is nobody's coming right
out and saying that a high RP value is bad
(21:13):
and a low RP value is good. Necessarily, it depends
on what you're looking for. So my understanding is you
take this meter, this little probe, and you stick it
in the water and it gives you a number that
pops up, and usually it's like a three digit number,
(21:34):
which is millivolts. And if it's higher, that means the
water is more sterile, which you would expect from like
swimming pool water. But that which is good because it
means you know, it should be cleaner, But that doesn't
mean you want to drink it necessarily. You don't want
to drink swimming pool water. Lower value may not be
as sterile, but maybe better for drinking because it's got
(21:57):
these antioxidants. That's what my understanding is. Now again, don't
hold me to this. So I'm in here basically saying,
all right, fine, I'm going to take this OARP meter
and I'm going to figure out which one of these
has which one of these cups of water has the LOWESTRP.
(22:21):
And again I just want to reiterate. I went into
Google and just typed is higher or lower ARP better
for drinking? It says higher ARP is generally better for
sanitation of drinking water, while lower or negative ORP is
promoted for health and antioxidant benefits. So you can look
(22:44):
that up for yourself. But they're basically saying that the
consensus is among many scientists for sterile water, higher is
better for potential health benefits, lower is better. So I'm saying, fine,
which one has the lowest? So I took these eleven
different cups of water, and I decided to test them
(23:04):
in two ways. The first thing was to test to
test them immediately after they were filled, and then I
wanted to wait twenty four hours and test them again
and compare the results. And so that's what I did.
(23:29):
Lauren helped me. We filled up these cups. I took
the RP meter. It comes calibrated at two hundred and
twenty two milli volts, and they say, but if you
want to confirm that, like that's what it should be
as your baseline. If you want to confirm that, you
can go in and you can manually calibrate it. So
(23:50):
just to make sure, I also went in and looked
at the manual calibration and sure enough it was calibrated
when I got at two hundred and twenty two milli volts.
I got this particular meter off of Amazon on for
about forty dollars. It wasn't much. I just searched for
OARP meter and I got this. When it says hydrogen
water tester digital ORP meter for drinking water seven and
(24:11):
one pH tds tester PhH two ORP meter, blah blah blah,
and it says it's for water bottles or machines, hydroponics, aquarium,
swimming pools, agriculture. So this this is like a seven
and one quality excuse me, water quality meter, and from
(24:32):
what I can tell, I mean, it works just fine. Again,
I made sure it was calibrated just fine. So you
can reproduce this kind of stuff using the water from
your house as a control if you want, given what
I'm telling you. But all right, we're up on a break.
When we come back, I'm going to give you the
results from testing all those and sort of the conclusion
(24:57):
as to what may be the best type of water
to drink using these mystical methods. I'm Joshua Pete Warren.
You're listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast
to Coast. I am Paranormal podcast Network. I'll be back
after these important messages. Welcome back to Strange Things on
(25:56):
the iHeart Radio and Coast to Coast, a am paranormal
podcast network. I'm your host, Joshua P. Warren, and this
is the show where the unusual becomes usual. By the way,
Doctor Molder and Mobius and I have created a new
private group on Facebook. It's called the Stealth Tepophone Society.
(26:21):
We've had such amazing success and such overwhelming feedback from
these portable handheld tepophone manifestation devices that you can just
stick in your pocket and use secretly when you're out
there in the field, that we decided we needed a
group for people to start sharing experiences. We're giving out tips,
(26:42):
we're doing collective experiments. If you don't know what the
tepaphone is, the stealth handheld tepaphone, well, now's a good
time to find out. Go to Wishingmachine project dot com
and you'll find a link to it there. And if
you buy one of these, well, then you will also
be able to join our Facebook group. It is a
(27:03):
private group, so it's only for people who actually own
one of these, so we can keep out the riff rafts.
And we're already having some wonderful conversations there. If you're
not on Facebook for whatever reason. You know. I'm sorry,
but that's that's what we've got for now. But yes,
uh again, Wishingmachine project dot com. If you get one,
it's easy to apply to be a part of the
(27:25):
private group and have some fun with us behind the
scenes and the stealth tepaphone society. All right. I could
go down the list and tell you the specific numeric
values that I got for each one of these things,
but I don't want to do that because if this
is a podcast and I've just rattled off a bunch
(27:46):
of numbers, it's gonna be boring and confusing. So I'm
gonna make this as simple as possible right off the bat.
Once again. Here are the the eleven different water samples
I tested. Number one, my control was tapwater from my
kitchen sink here in Las Vegas. It's unfiltered tapwater. Number
(28:07):
two was filtered tapwater from my sink here in Las Vegas.
Number three is water from my swimming pool outside, which
is treated on a weekly basis. Number four unfiltered tapwater
that contained a quartz crystal. It's more specifically a Herkimer diamond.
(28:28):
Number five unfiltered tapwater that contained an amethyst. Number six
unfiltered tapwater sitting on top of a print out of
the golden ratio, so no direct contact even with the water.
The pattern was just underneath Number seven unfiltered tapwater on
the wishing machine output plate, with no contact there to
(28:50):
the water. They were just sitting on top of the plate.
Number eight unfiltered tapwater with one of my big gold chains.
Number nine unfiltered tap water that had a purple plate
disk inside of it. Number ten unfiltered tap water containing
a United States silver dollar, and number eleven was a
(29:15):
distilled water from the grocery store. Here are the results
when I first put now again. Supposedly, if my understanding
is right, they're saying, the higher the number, the more
sterile the water is. But the lower the number, the
better it may be for your antioxidants and for drinking
for positive purposes. So we're looking for a lower number here.
(29:40):
So at phase one, as soon as I filled the
glasses or the cups with water the plastic cups, the
one that had the highest number, meaning the one that
was supposedly the most sterile, much to my shock, was
the wishing machine, because I thought surely it would be
(30:03):
the swimming pool water, because I mean again, a week,
every week a professional comes over here and ports chemicals
in my swimming pool and preachs the water. So you'd
think that that would be the most sterile and have
the highest. Now to refresh you, here is what I
put on the wishing machine input plate. I put a
post it note and I took a pin and with
my own hand, I wrote healthiest water possible to drink,
(30:28):
and the highest was the wishing machine. It actually came
out at five point thirty. Was the measurment on that
the lowest, meaning supposedly the best to drink right off
the bat, according to the people who believe this, it
was the filtered tapwater. So I thought, well, that's really
(30:50):
really interesting. I mean I could, I could. I can
understand why the filtered tapwater should be like the healthiest
to drink. That's what the point is. But I didn't
think the wishing machine would come across as the most
sanitary one, so to speak. But I was like, okay,
well let's see what happens after it sits for a
little over twenty four hours. So after twenty four hours,
(31:11):
I tested it again, and here's what I got. This time,
the results were different. After twenty four hours, the highest one,
as I expected, was the pool water at three hundred,
and the lowest at one fifty five. And therefore the
(31:32):
lowest that I received in the entire experiment was the
unfiltered tapwater. So again, if you are to believe that
higher means more sanitary, but lower is better for drinking,
then the one that was immediately better for drinking according
to OORP is filtered tapwater in my case, and then
(31:53):
the lowest after twenty four hours was unfiltered tapwater. So
in either case, the tap water seemed to be the winner,
at least in terms of ARP. But what stunned me
is that of all these mystical things I tried out,
the only one that made a very significant impact on
the quality of the water was the wishing machine putting
(32:17):
that intention on the input plate and tuning the device.
And then again there I never put anything into the water.
That is that's actually shocking to me. Now, this test
should be slightly different for everybody, because you're going to
have your own set of variables when it comes to
(32:37):
the water that you pull out out of your system.
And again I want to reiterate there are many different
ways of testing water. ORP is just one of them.
So now that I've explained this kind of an experiment
to you, and I've told you how easy it is
to do it yourself, and it is very easy to
get one of these meters and it tells you just
hit this button, put it on the setting, stick it
(32:59):
in there, shake it up a little bit, pull it out.
You get your reading. Okay, actually you get your reading
what's in there, and then you pull it out and
you rinse it off. You can test this yourself. And
now that I'm seeing some of these results, I'm also
going to start applying them to some of my parisimatics
experiments to see if when I'm creating patterns in water
(33:21):
using sound waves, uh, if the patterns are dramatically different
based upon different types of water like that. And I've
done this to a certain extent before, but now I'm
kind of taking it to the next level with this
OARP thing. But here's something that sounds pretty crazy, and
I've been meaning this is an experiment that I don't know.
I've been wanting to do this for years and I
(33:45):
just never got around to it. I don't know why.
I many years ago I read about a group of
people who got together to experiment with wishing machines, radionics machines,
black boxes, psionic boxes, whatever you want to call them.
But again, if you don't know what we're talking about,
wishingmachine project dot com. It's a box with an input
(34:06):
plate and output plate and you tune it with an intention.
A group of people supposedly got together and they took
a shot glass of liquor and they put the shot
glass on the input plate of the machine, and on
the output plate they put a shot glass of plane tapwater.
(34:31):
Then they tuned the device in order to send the
energy pattern of the alcohol to the energy pattern of
the tapwater. And they left it that way for a
few hours, and then they drank the tapwater and it
was alcoholic, and they that's what they claimed, And in fact,
(34:55):
they even made a larger batch. And they all sat around,
supposedly and got nice and tipsy, and we're laughing about
how they can now make this unlimited supply of alcohol
from one sample of alcohol and as much tapwater as
you can fill up. Now that sounds wild, doesn't it.
And I never reproduced this, and I was like, you know,
(35:15):
I had this set up here and I go, you
know what, now is the time to do this. So
here's what happened. I have a bar here at my house.
I'm very careful how much I try to drink these days,
because I'm not getting any younger. But I got a
little vodka. I poured some vodka in a shot glass,
(35:35):
put it on the input plate, put some tap water
on the output plate, tune the machine, left it there,
I think overnight for on this one, this one, and
the next day both Lauren and I tasted the tap
water to see if it had turned into something that
gave us the experience of alcohol. Now, let me give
(35:56):
you let me just let you know, at this point,
I'm kind of numb. I'm kind of insensitive to tasting
alcohol because unfortunately, I've been around alcohol my entire life.
I grew up in Asheville, North Carolina, which is often
called beer City because there are so many microbreweries and bars.
(36:18):
And then I moved to Puerto Rico and lived there
for years, and that is the rum capital of the world.
So I drank plenty of rum. And now I live
in Las Vegas, where not only is alcohol available twenty
four to seven and everywhere you go. But like they
are encouraging you to drink here and giving you free beverages,
you gotta be careful. So I'm not as sensitive, frankly,
(36:39):
to whether or not I taste alcohol as Lauren is.
But the truth is we both tasted the shot glass
that was on the output plate that was only supposed
to contain tap water, and neither one of us tasted
what we thought was alcohol. Now you might say, well,
josh why don't you take an alcohol meter and use it. Well,
that doesn't make sense because this is not about a
(36:59):
chemical reaction, because I do some home wine making and
home brewing and I understand all that. Now, this is
about the energetic experience. So you can try that out
and let me know if it works for you, and
I hope that you'll also reproduce this other experiment. Okay,
the clock has almost got us. When we come back
for our last segment, I'm talking about ingestables, So I
(37:22):
have some mental manna for you that has to do
with British beans and toasts, and then I might have
an Elvis story for you. I'm Joshua P. Warren. You're
listening to strange things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to
Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I'll be right back.
(38:16):
Welcome back to the final segment of this edition of
Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren,
and I'm gonna wrap up the show with some mental manna.
That's what I call segments where there are just some
things on my mind that I find strange that you
(38:37):
might find interesting as well. Not necessarily strange, but just
kind of like thought provoking. I've been talking a lot
recently about food stuff or ingestible stuff on the show,
and it is interesting because it is, you know, making
a recipe. It is a form of chemistry I have.
(38:58):
I'm gonna apologize right now to all of my many
listeners in the UK and other British influenced territories because
I'm probably gonna get something wrong here. I've only been
to England once in my life, had a great time,
got to do a paranormal investigation of the Tower of London,
took the Jack the Ripper tour. And what's kind of
(39:20):
funny is that, you know, I've always known that in
British areas, especially you know, in the UK, one popular
dish often consumed I guess any time of day, but
especially for breakfast is beans on toast, you know, baked
beans on toast. And I never really had sat down
(39:46):
and tried that until just recently because I learned something
that I didn't know before. I always just kind of
assume that, you know, you go get yourself a piece
of white bread or whatever, and you put it in
the toaster, and you go out and you go to
the grocery store, you get can of beans, you pour
it on there, and you know, you eat it, maybe
with some butter or whatever, and that's all there is
to it. But did you know, and I bet most
(40:07):
of you listening here in the USA do not know
that the types of beans used in the UK is
different than what you are what you have here most
of the time in the US. I grew up in
North Carolina. Right next to North Carolina is the state
of Tennessee, and that is where they have the bushes,
(40:29):
baked bean companies bush beans. And what's astounding is, and
I've actually been to like they have a sort of
a visitor center thing. What's astounding is the Bush Brothers.
They've been operating for over one hundred years and they
produce approximately eighty percent of the canned baked beans consumed
(40:54):
in the United States. And it's a privately owned company.
Can you imagine the money. But the baked beans here
in the US are actually quite different from what you
get if you are in say the UK, they use
(41:15):
Heines baked beans, and if you look that up, they're
actually kind of hard to find here in the US.
They usually come in something like a light blue can
and it says Heines beans, and it always says something like, well,
not always, but it usually says something like British style,
or or they might just say with tomato sauce. Because
(41:38):
here's what I didn't know. When you get American baked beans,
they taste sort of sweet and smoky, and the ones
that you get in like the UK and British areas,
they are sort of in like the tomato sauce, and
they're much less excuse me, they're much less sweet, and
(42:01):
they're much more tangy. And also, in my opinion, the
beans are a little bit firmer. So I went out
and I said, I'm gonna do a taste test. I
got three different types of beans. I ordered some of
the Hinds beans that the Brits use on their on
their toast, and then I got some of original bushes beans,
(42:24):
and then some of like country style bushes beans. I
tasted them all first, just plain and plain, you know what. Honestly,
I gotta tell you, I like the country style better.
I'm used to that. I guess Americans are more geared
toward that sort of flavor, but I really do enjoy
(42:46):
the the the English Hins beans as well. And you
just take take yourself usually just a piece of white toast.
Some people like to use sour dough. Put it in
the toaster, spread some butter on it, take it out,
you know, dup your beans on there. You can heat
them or not eat them, and eat it, you know,
kind of like a sandwich. And it's surprisingly good and filling.
And I wondered about, like, well, where did this tradition
(43:07):
come from? And it turns out that they say that
beans this beans on toast. This iconic British comfort food
originated as a marketing strategy by Hines in the nineteen
twenties to promote their canned baked beans and tomato sauce.
But it gained immittst popularity as an affordable, protein rich
(43:29):
meal during World War Two when beans were exempt from rationing,
and that is why it remains a staple, quick and
nutritious meal, often enhanced with cheese or eggs. If you've
not tried it, I'm telling you, get yourself some beans
of any kind. Whatever. You get your hands on some
baked beans. But if you can yet, go for the
Hinds beans. They're the healthiest ones. In my opinion. They're
(43:53):
a little like I like the flavor of the little
ones that a little more unhealthy, and you might feel
very fulfilled. So that's that's something kind of interesting little
food trivia for you. Here's the other thing that I
wanted to talk about though, of course I live here
in Las Vegas, which is Elvisland, and you know, Elvis
(44:16):
was forty two years old when he died, and of
course it shocked the world. And they if you look up,
like what exactly killed Elvis, they say, well, officially, when
he died in nineteen seventy seven at age forty two,
it was heart failure cardiac arrest at his Graceland mansion,
and his death was attributed to sudden to a sudden
(44:39):
cardiac event heavily linked to chronic prescription drug abuse and
poor physical health. And there are some places here in
Las Vegas that serve the famous, some might say infamous
Elvis sandwich. And my understanding is how this began was
(45:02):
on February first of nineteen seventy six, Elvis flew his
private jet called the Lisa Marie, all the way from
Memphis to Denver, Colorado, just specifically to eat a sandwich
called a Fool's Gold Loaf. He didn't even leave the airport.
(45:22):
He met the restaurant owners at a hangar there and
they consumed the sandwiches along with champagne and perier, before
turning around and flying home. And this sandwich, it consisted
of a hollowed out French loaf filled with a jar
of peanut butter, a jar of jelly, and a pound
(45:44):
of bacon. They say this was this trip was just
a last minute craving during a night of entertaining friends.
Elvis and his party consumed twenty two of these sandwiches,
so apparently he loved it so much he went back
to Graceland and he started telling his cooks like to
(46:05):
make variations of this, and he finally ended up with
what we now know is the Elvis sandwich. And so
for the Elvis sandwich, you get yourself whatever your favorite
kind of bread is, and essentially you might spread a
little butter on it. Then you spread a lot of
peanut butter on it. Then you slice up some bananas
(46:29):
and put that on it, and then you lay some
strips of bacon on it. And then once in a
while Elvis would even drizzle some honey or maybe molasses
on it. And it's I gotta tell you, it's really
it's really darn good. Okay, it's bad for you, it's
(46:52):
really good. I made one the other day here at
my house, and I was like, I understand what happened
to Elvis because Elvis was Let's see what he Elvis.
How tall was Elvis? I think he was like six
feet tall. How tall was Elvis? Yeah, he was six
feet tall and at his heaviest he hopped three hundred
(47:13):
and fifty pounds. So you do not want to get
in the habit of eating the Elvis sandwich. But they
do have them available here in some places in Vegas
if you want to try it out on a special occasion.
I've just told you how to make one at home again.
Don't take health advice from me. But I got something
cool the other day. Elvis, they say, you know, amazingly
(47:34):
in his short life, in addition to everything else he did,
he made thirty one movies. Can you imagine? I mean,
that's what killed him. They worked a good death. His
most famous movie was Viva Las Vegas from nineteen sixty four,
starring well, of course, him and a Margaret and they
had a little romantic fleeing offscreen. And the basically Elvis
(47:58):
is he's a race car driver who comes to Vegas,
but he's having hardships and he's trying to get his
car working for this grand prix and he ends up
falling for this hard to get woman and Margaret, and
then the competitor is this like Italian race car driver,
and they go back and forth until finally, you know,
at the end, Elvis is in the race, the Italian
(48:19):
race car driver. He ends up like dying and bursting
into flames, and Elvis is like, oh, whoa you should know?
And then Elvis wins, and at the end of it
they have a big, huge wedding and live happily. Ever after,
I have now my collection a piece of the shirt
that Elvis Presley was wearing in the wedding scene. They
cut that shirt up into hundreds of pieces and they
(48:43):
I've got it certified. I'm out of time. Maybe I'll
tell you more about that later, but that is a
cool thing in my collection. And now here's the good
Fortune tone. That's it for this edition of the show.
