This episode is
sponsored by our friend Emily
Thatcher.
Emily brings us a quote fromRawlDawl.
Life is a series of thousandsof tiny miracles.
Notice them.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I love that so much
we're great.
No idea how many miracles arehappening around us.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
I just never even
thought about that.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Between birth and
death, like there are at least a
thousand miracles around usevery day.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Life is incredible.
I think sometimes we take itfor granted.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Life is so crazy,
sometimes like you just slip
through time and you had no ideait happened.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Ooh, it's like you
planned that.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah, we should tell
stories about that.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
We should, we should
do an episode about that.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Like this one.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
And speaking of this
episode is the final installment
of our three-part season finaleepisode about the mysterious
topic of time slips.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
And I am going to
present a few super intriguing
time slip stories in a cherry ontop before we hit our duet and
say see you next season.
But I want to start where wekind of left off last episode
when we did Haunted Spaces.
We did some Queen Mary storiesand this is one I'm not sure if
(04:24):
I mentioned in the last episode,but I definitely didn't go into
details A little time slip thathappened to someone who worked
there as a tour guide.
This is told by and I'm goingto read my account because I
feel like I'm doing a disserviceto people by paraphrasing
stories that they told onlinebut that we are sharing here.
(04:46):
On the episode, this is from agentleman by the name of Bill
Sotter.
He was a maritime historian andarchivist.
He spent a lot of times withTitanic exhibitions and I've met
him.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I've met him.
I'm so sorry to.
I'm just like.
I had an amazing conversationwith him at a conference a
couple of years ago.
He's like Titanic expert ofexperts.
Yeah, I've gotten to talk withhim.
That's so cool.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah, well, he has
this story that he tells on a
YouTube video about Queen Maryghost stories.
He's got a few ghost stories,but this particular one seemed a
lot like a time slip to me.
He was working as a tour guideon the Queen Mary and as he says
it, as he tells it, it's theend of the day at sunset.
(05:37):
We're getting ready to closethe tour down and all go home.
I was standing up on the bowand the tourists are getting
very sparse.
You know they're coming throughevery 15 minutes or so, so
there's a lot of time juststanding there and admiring
things.
You know it's California andit's summer, so we're lightly
dressed and I'm basicallylooking back at the
(05:59):
superstructure of the funnelsand sort of just zoning out and
not thinking about anything inparticular.
And then something happens andit's very difficult to describe
because it happens in a moment.
As fast as you can clap yourhands, it's gone.
What happened was, as I wasstanding there looking aft,
(06:22):
suddenly I was standing in thatspot but it's 1966.
It's the end of the ship's lifeand I can feel and see in a
nonspecific way.
The crewmen were in New York.
It's the middle of winter, I'mfreezing because I'm misdressed
for the weather.
(06:42):
There's snow on the deck, thecrew is getting ready to cast
off and we're heading back toEngland and I can feel this
depression.
They've retired the Mary andthey're going to retire the
Elizabeth and there's only oneship coming online and that
means guaranteed at least 50% ofthe crew is losing its job in a
(07:03):
matter of months.
What are they going to do?
That was the ambient feeling Ipicked up.
At the same time I was seeingthis.
I was up in the wheelhouse inthe chart room and I was looking
over one of the ship's officersand I remember he was standing
at a chart table and had thechart out and a pencil and paper
(07:26):
and he was figuring somethingout.
I don't know what it was.
It was over like that.
And at the same time I'm downin the bakery and I remember
seeing a baker pick up a trayand put it in an oven and then
that was the image.
And then I was down in thegenerator room.
I was on the platform watchingan engineer parallel two
(07:49):
generators because they broughta second generator online and
now they're going to split theload at the same time.
At the same time I was in acabin somewhere.
I think it was one of thesecond class cabins.
The steward had come in to runthe hot and cold water taps
before passengers arrived,because if a cabin hadn't been
used in a while, there's atendency for rust to collect and
(08:10):
it'll bleed rusty water forabout 10 seconds.
You never want a passenger tosee that.
So the stewards hadinstructions to go ahead and do
that and I saw that and bang,that was done and in a moment.
All these visions whichoccurred simultaneously.
There's no sound, no verbiage,there's also really no motion.
(08:32):
It's like a series of stills,still pictures.
It was gone, it was justabsolutely gone.
And 10 seconds later up comesthe last set of tourists and I
give my spiel as usual, and thenfive minutes later my
supervisor arrives and I go home.
And that was his story abouthis Queen Mary time slip.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Weird.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It's so curious to
have this as one where I was so
excited for it to be someoneI've met, because I know him not
only through talking to him butseeing him on documentaries for
years, and so I know that he'sa very reputable, very
intelligent, sophisticated,reliable person.
So that gives credence to thestory in itself, but then also
(09:27):
the idea of time slipping andthen being aware of how things
feel.
That's such an interestingconcept of like you're time
slipping and you're aware ofwhat the energy is.
It's like going back to whatyou were saying about energies.
It's like Maybe it is aboutjust energy that's emitted
because he's picking up on thesepeople's emotions.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
And all
simultaneously and all at once,
Like he sees all these differentscenes from that moment in time
as experienced by differentcrew members, all at the same
time but in a different momentin time.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
That's really wild.
I wouldn't be surprised if itwas like if these things are
true and they happen, Like Iwould not be surprised if it did
have something to do with theenergies, because even in ghost
stories, this person's liketheir life energy, like the
things that happen to them, likethe stronger emotions which
would, to me, give out, like astronger energy, you know, cause
(10:21):
, you know.
Like a repeat, like the idea oflike repeating loops of time,
like a ghost will repeat thistime in their life because of
what happened to them you know,and what our ghosts probably.
But energy you know.
So it's the same thing.
Like time slips.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I could see it having
that same idea of it being
energy, that's well, it's likewhat you just said kind of click
something in my brain too, thatit's talking about matter and
physics too.
It's like energy beingdisplaced.
Does it have to go?
So it has to go somewhere.
I mean, it's the same, you know, it's like the 21 grams that
(10:57):
disappear from our bodies whenwe die Apparently.
You know like it's that.
It's like where the weight oflike, does energy have weight?
And then where does that weightget displaced to?
I don't know, I just and again,I don't have a scientific brain
, so it's hard for me toverbalize these questions but it
I mean, yeah, maybe energy hasto go somewhere and just on that
(11:20):
day, that energy floated intohis brain or his heart or
whatever.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Because it's
imprinted like an imprint.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
An imprint on the
ship, on the, on the stone and
tape or whatever, and just justgoes through you in a second.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
You should, you guys
should definitely do an episode
on stone tape theory.
It's it's very, veryinteresting.
There's a lot of research.
You know, I have a I won't givea last name but I have a
listener to unsinkable.
His name is Alec and he hastalked to me about he works at
and again, I won't give anyidentifying details but he works
(11:59):
at a museum that is in theSouth that has to do with, like
the history of slavery and likeyou know more, like 1718
hundreds, and he told me that hewas giving a tour one day,
looked over and he just saw likehalf of a man across the room
in like old timey garb, you know, like old style hat, like
(12:21):
overalls, and just half of a manprojected down the hallway.
And this isn't someone he waslike.
You know I'm not someone that'snot into paranormal, not into
haunt, you know I'm not, it'snot an interest of mine but he
just he means like going crazy,like what's going on.
He just had this experience andyou know, same situation, like
just that energy was floatingaround and he had whatever
(12:43):
receptors that day to pick up onthat.
And I, you know, and I neversaw it before, I never saw it
again.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
But we could talk
about this when I when I tell my
next story.
But like how many ghost storiescould be time slips?
Because the like the people whoexperience time slips often
talk about being seen by peoplein that time and them looking at
them weird, like you don'tbelong here, kind of a thing.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Like are you the
ghost?
Like do we become the ghosts inthose stories?
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Yeah, and I was
wondering, like, if that happens
, would they remember?
Do they not remember?
Is it because you're maybecreating some kind of parallel
timeline?
Should think, if these timeshave happened and a whole room
full of people saw you, allthese people would be like that
was weird, you know like, andthere'd be some stories about it
.
Yeah.
Maybe you enter some kind ofparallel universe, not the same
(13:37):
as yours, so that story never.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah, the gear.
Is it possible to enter one atthe same time?
And, by the way, my son slippedme a note under the door.
That's what I went to get.
He's he wanted.
I'm like the celebrity upstairs.
They're like watching itupstairs.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
He's like mommy, when
will you be done?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
I know.
It's like mom have bakedchicken nuggets.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
I know right, like
where's my dinner?
No, he says I love you, it's sosweet.
I thank you, robbie, thank youand thank you, lorelai, for
bringing my drink.
I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Thank you.
Thank you Robbie, lorelai andJohn for lending LA to us for
this episode we're having somuch fun.
I feel like we need to have youon every episode now.
I know.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
And I mean I will, I
won't.
I know what I wouldn't say.
No, you know, some people inthat situation are like oh no,
no, no, I'm.
I would say no pressure.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
But you heard it here
first.
Ladies and gentlemen, going tothe cap for season two LA
Beatles.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Well, we should do.
We should do a Titanic, um likeco-host episode together,
because there are a lot ofthere's so many paranormal
stories when it comes to Titanicand some of them are kind of
time travel-y, time slippy, sortof you know, as that one I mean
like that's a direct Titanicconnection with Bill Souder, for
example, but, um, but yeah, Idefinitely, I definitely think
(14:52):
there's something to that.
I think, um and again, havingmet him, he doesn't strike me as
someone that would make up afrivolous story Like.
He strikes me as someone thatwould, would only put something
online if he really felt likethere was truth to it.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
And that's just one
of them.
Uh, this video, I'll put thelink to it in the show notes
when we release the podcast.
But he tells several ghoststories where he there's one
where he's working in the poolroom and he sees a young, like a
17 year old girl that justdisappears, uh.
And then there's another onewhere, like, he feels a force
like push him, uh, so.
(15:28):
And then his third story wasthat time slippy one and, um,
yeah, it's, uh, it's pretty wild.
And we talk about places,historical places that you know
so much, so many feelings and somuch that these, these places
that have an energy and theycould possibly be recording them
.
And, uh, maybe some hauntingsare actually time slips, maybe
(15:51):
they're imprints of the past.
But we have another friend whohad an experience on the Queen
Mary Uh, and this is my one ofmy best friends, dan Franklin,
who we all know as aprofessional musician, singer,
songwriter, guitar player, halfof half of the uh country music
powerhouse that is Franklin wall.
He released a, an album calledthe best ride of your life many
(16:14):
years ago.
I want to say six or sevenyears ago.
He probably says it in his story, but I was so blessed he
invited me to open for him as astandup comedian that night and
I got to make my standup comedydebut in the main ballroom of
the Queen Mary for this show and, uh, it was such a great
experience.
(16:34):
And Dan had an experience thatnight that he shared with me
later.
And when we were planning thisepisode, I hit him up and I said
, hey, would you mind sending ina video, a story for the show
for us to share?
And he said absolutely.
And so I'm actually passing thebaton baton off directly to Mr
Dan Franklin to tell you hisstory in his own words and here
(16:59):
he is.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Anyone that knows me
knows that I'm a fairly
skeptical person, so when I tellyou this story, just know that
in my heart I'm certain thatthere's a fairly logical
explanation for this.
I just don't know what it is.
Back in 2015, in September,when I released an album called
the best ride of your life, andI did this on the Queen Mary and
(17:26):
it was a great show.
We had a huge band.
It was a wonderful night.
About 500 people or so showedup to enjoy this with us.
It was great.
But anyone that's played musicon the Queen Mary knows that
Process of getting your musicalequipment on and off that ship
can be quite difficult, and Iwas staying on the ship that
night.
My state room was in the afterthe ship and the show was more
(17:48):
than four of the ship and so itwas also up a level at a deck.
So when I broke down, Irealized that I needed to get my
stuff Into an elevator and thendown a floor and then back to
my room, and I had two trips todo, and so I pack up my stuff, I
go out to the elevator and thiselevator has like a little tiny
(18:09):
Stair case to get up to theelevator so you cannot just cart
your ramp right into it.
You have to get to the elevator, call the elevator, unload your
gear, put the cart in theelevator, reload the cart in the
elevator, get inside, go downand then Cart all the way to my
state room, unload the thing, goback, and I don't want to do
(18:30):
this again.
It took forever.
So the second time I rememberoh, there's that other freight
elevator that's in the kitchenbehind the stage.
I wonder if that has stairs orif I can just go straight down
there.
So I cart up my second load.
I go back to the elevator, acall it.
It shows right up door, opensright up and I get inside.
(18:51):
This elevator is exactly largeenough for me and my cart.
It's one of those elevatorsthat has kind of like the horse
blanket, the moving blanket, youknow, on the walls total
utility.
I get inside and I hit the deckbelow me and the door closes
and Nothing happens.
(19:12):
And I'm just sitting in thiselevator For a long time and I'm
just pushing the button.
It's going nowhere, nothing'shappening.
I start pushing other buttons,nothing's happening.
And I'm about to get my phoneout and try to call somebody to
tell them to come get me,because I'm certain that I'm
stuck in this thing when theelevator just starts moving and
(19:37):
Nothing lights up on the panel.
It just starts moving and I'mlike okay, finally, but we're
going Further than one deck andit just keeps going and it keeps
going and it keeps going andI'm like there's no way that the
ship is this big.
This thing just keeps going andThen we stop on a floor and the
(19:57):
door opens up.
It's not my deck, it is a whiteI mean white, white of the white
room with really bright lightsand an old sign that says E as
an elephant, e deck on eitherside of this white wall, or two
hallways that go back, andthey're really, really dark, and
(20:20):
I just it's, it's.
You hear almost nothing exceptfor just this very, very faint
talking Down these hallways andI'm trying to make out what
they're saying.
I'm like I don't want to getout here.
This is not my deck.
I start pushing buttons andnothing is happening.
This elevator door is notclosing and it's just creeping
me out and and I'm like this hasgot to be the slowest elevator
(20:43):
ever.
I'm pushing buttons, pushingbuttons, pushing buttons and
nothing's happening and I'mstarting to feel really weird
and Then the door closes and I'mlike this is great, I'll just
go back up.
And so I pushed the originaldeck, where I know the stage is,
because I know I can get offthere and go do the original
thing and it's not goinganywhere again.
(21:05):
And it's another couple minutesof me really freaking out and
Trying to get.
I have no cell reception atthis point, I can't get a phone
call out, and so eventually thetop Button in this elevator
lights up just the very, verytop floor and I'm like, okay,
great, I'll just go there and dowhatever.
So it goes all the way to thetop and I get out and I pull my
(21:30):
card out and I'm like, wait,this is like the promenade, I
don't know if I'm gonna be ableto get back down.
And then the elevator doorcloses and I turn around and I'm
like I'm gonna call theelevator but the call button has
been boarded over and she'llact.
I cannot call the elevator fromthis promenade and there's a
sign on it that says freightelevator no longer in use.
(21:53):
I'm so frustrated I wander outof the promenade, I wander all
the way back to these otherelevators turns out there the
original elevators that have alittle tiny staircase and I have
to do the same thing that I didthe first time anyway after all
of this, and I go down and I goall the way back.
(22:14):
It's the end of the night andI'm telling the story that I
just told you to my parents, whoare staying there that night as
well, and my father's lookingat this map of the Queen Mary
that they provided him and hesays he deck.
I'm like yeah, yeah, heelephant.
And he's like there's.
You sure you don't mean D deck?
(22:36):
There's a D, there's an M,there's ana.
There's no E on this entire map.
And I'm like I am beyond.
I stared at that sign that saidE deck for a long time.
It's not on the ship.
So where did I go?
(22:56):
What happened?
Why me?
What happened that night?
What do you think?
I don't know.
Queen Mary, right?
Speaker 3 (23:08):
The Queen Mary right.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
That was awesome.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Where did he go?
Where do you think?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I mean I think it
reminded me so much of the
accounts I read of the Liverpoolones that I studied a little
bit that this is exactly whatthese people expressed is just
suddenly I'm somewhere.
I don't recognize something init, like the oddity of the
sensation of just beingsomewhere, where you don't
(23:38):
recognize anything and you don'thave your foothold in reality.
In this case, it seems to melike it was a little more like
okay, I'm just trying to getsomething done.
I'm trying to get somethingdone and these weird things are
happening, but I'm going to keepmoving forward and then
realizing maybe after the fact,some of it but yeah, it seems to
(23:59):
echo in all of these stories,and with his particularly and so
he told it so well what do youdo?
It's like why me?
That's the question.
Why did I have this moment inmy life?
Why did this happen?
Maybe there's no reason.
Maybe it's just completelyrandom.
(24:21):
But where did he go?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
That's what one thing
is like.
I don't think it's entirely outof out of the range of
possibility that there is anedak and they just don't put it
on the map that they give peoplewho are staying as guests.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Oh, gotcha, gotcha.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Yeah, I mean the
whole elevator moving on its own
, not moving when you press itback, that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
I mean that could be
why it was shut down.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
It keeps taking
everybody to the floor.
We didn't tell him.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Listen, this elevator
is taking people to 1947.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I don't Shut it down.
Shut it down.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Captain.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Well, thank you, dan,
for sharing that.
And of course, I love the QueenMary and, as the sequel to my
original film, the Haunted man,takes place on the Queen Mary,
I'm excited to shoot theresomeday as I am determined to
film the sequel to the Hauntedman on the Queen Mary.
But just an awesome place witha lot of great energy and a lot
(25:25):
to be explored, a lot ofmysteries.
But we will shoot up way upnorth to Canada.
For the next story that I foundon a YouTube channel called
Paranormal Rising.
The episode is called GlitchStories, time Slip Stories,
number 70.
And, trust me, there's likehundreds of them, so 70 is
(25:48):
probably early on.
Like I mentioned, there's somany of these stories out there
I had no idea, and the way theyget these stories is listeners
submit them to their website,paranormalrisingcom.
They don't give credit, so Iwish I could give credit, but
this is an anonymous story thatwas told and I will read it
exactly as it was told onParanormal Rising Time Slip
(26:11):
Stories, number 70.
Some friends and I used to drinkin this really old, abandoned,
dilapidated farmhouse.
It was about an hour a half anhour walk out of our hometown of
Cold Hill, alberta, canada.
It was a place we could drinkand chill all night and not have
to worry about cops and stufflike that, although the house
(26:34):
itself was a bit dangerous, ifyou know what I mean, because it
was totally collapsedeverywhere.
It was pretty much fallingapart.
We always sat on the top flooras it was the least amount of
debris and there was a nice wideopen area where we could all
sit in a circle.
We'd bring a flashlight, but wewould turn it off since we got
(26:57):
up in our little area.
When we got up in our littlearea upstairs, just in case
somebody happened to drive by,we'd notice something suspicious
might be happening in the house, although not even once did a
car drive by ever on nights, wewere there.
If they did, it would have beennoticeable.
It was miles away from anyother light source and it was
dead quiet other than thecrickets chirping.
(27:17):
Anyway, one night I'm prettysure that it was a Saturday,
probably around two or three inthe morning or around there
there was a group of seven oreight of us and we heard the
door open and we heard somechatter.
We were like oh, who the heckis that?
And we quickly hid our booze,sat as still and quiet as we
(27:40):
could and hoped that nobody wasgoing to come upstairs.
They did, and this is where itgets really, really, really
weird.
Although it was dark with nolights, so we could easily see
each other across the roombecause of the moon and the
starlight and our eyes hadadjusted.
This Hutterite family and forthose who don't know who the
(28:04):
Hutterites are, they're sort oflike the Amish folk who are
basically wearing the same styleof clothes and they live in
colonies and farms and stufflike that.
They come walking up the stairs, they're chattering to each
other, but it wasn't in English.
I think it might have beenGerman, but I really can't say.
Except the two little girls.
(28:24):
I guess they were around six orseven.
They were speaking plainEnglish to each other.
They come up into the open roomwhere we were and started
looking around.
We were crapping our pants atthis point.
There was no way in hell theywould not be able to see us just
sitting there in a circle.
But they didn't.
(28:46):
They would look right at you,but it was almost like they were
looking through you and like wedidn't even exist at one point.
At one point one of the littlegirls was standing right in
front of me and said excitedlythis is going to be my room.
We were all just sitting there,frozen solid, looking at each
(29:07):
other like is this reallyhappening?
They continue to kind of walkaround and look at stuff.
It seems like they werechecking out a new house they
were going to move into orsomething.
But if you saw the state of thehouse you'd know 100% that that
was not the case.
It was far beyond repair.
As I mentioned, it was two orthree in the morning.
(29:28):
Why would anybody bring theirfamily to look at a dilapidated
house that early with noelectricity and no lights?
So they walk around for about10 minutes or so chatting away,
seemingly oblivious to us.
Again, there was no way theycouldn't see us.
But finally they walked backdown the stairs.
We heard the door open and shutand silence no vehicle driving
(29:56):
away, nothing, just crickets.
Again we were like did thatjust happen?
Or where the hell did they evengo?
A few of us decided to goinvestigate.
We go downstairs with ourtrusty flashlight, go outside
and there's nothing.
No vehicle, no tire tracks inthe gravel, no people, no
vehicle driving away.
Nobody's walking away, there'snothing.
(30:18):
And this wasn't even a minuteafter we heard the door shut.
If they were on foot, theywouldn't have made it that far.
If they were driving, we wouldhave seen or heard the vehicle
pull up and also we would haveheard it drive away.
As this was a flat, openprairie grassland, you can see
for miles.
We would have been able to seeeither those people walking away
or driving away without anydoubt.
(30:40):
There is no way they justdisappeared like that and at
some key points.
To take away from this very,very strange event is that this
house was miles away from otherhouses.
There was no vehicle.
It was like we weren't thereand it was like we weren't even
there.
We looked sketchy, seriously.
(31:00):
We had mohawks, tattoos,piercings all over our faces,
leather jackets with nails andstuff that were coming out of
our clothing.
There was just no way that theywouldn't have seen us in this
abandoned house at night and notbeen scared of us.
It was also three, three amSunday morning or Saturday night
.
Why the heck would you walkmiles through the mud with your
young children to come check outa house that's an old,
(31:22):
dilapidated farmhouse at thetime of the event, with not so
much as a flashlight.
Last I heard, the house isstill there sideways from the
wind, but there's no freakingway anybody in their right minds
would go into trying fixing,trying to fix it up.
It's been over 20 years sincethis happened and everyone who
(31:43):
was there all my friends arestill scratching our heads as to
what happened that nightbecause it was so strange, but
that was that was only when Iheard that it was still there.
I'm not sure if it actually isstill there.
I tried finding it on GoogleMaps, but all the houses in the
area are definitely occupied.
(32:03):
It looks like maybe it was torndown in.
A new neighborhood was builtthere, and that is his story of
that event, and I can't wait tohear your thoughts.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
I really like that
one.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Yeah, you did a
really good job of reading that
one day with like you, with themusic to it was like I could, I
like put myself there, I could,like I was like sitting there
having a drink at three o'clockin the morning and then suddenly
you know, you set the scenereally well how many people you
say were there.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
You said seven or
eight of them, and that's all
thought they all claim to.
We've talked about so manytimes on this podcast, like how
important shared experiences are, because it's one thing to have
like have an experience likeDan did, but imagine a friend
was with him and they couldcollaborate and like we talk
about, corroborate, collaborate,corroborate not collaborate.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Collaborate would be
making up the story, so no.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
But yeah, he says all
the, they still all talk about
it and they're like whathappened to us that night?
If there's seven or eight ofthem and they experienced this
together, because you know ifyou're drinking and it's two or
three in the morning, that wasthe first thing I thought was
like what were you drinking?
But if everybody saw the samething and still talking about it
(33:25):
years later, that's a littlecrazy, a little bit.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
It reminds me of the
story I heard on.
There's a great podcast calledreal life ghost stories.
It's kind of tragic is ahusband and wife team that did
it and the husband died a coupleof years ago.
But the wife her name is Emmashe's kept up the podcast, which
I think is really brave of herand she's phenomenal real life
ghost stories.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
He was the guy who
talked like Dan died.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Dan died.
Yeah, she died.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
I used to listen to
that a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Yeah, he, I was on a
trip it was like two summers ago
, coming a little bit out ofcoven.
We were like very carefullytraveling and like staying in
Airbnb is like wearing masks.
But I was listening to apodcast while I was like working
out in this Airbnb and all of asudden, like she comes on the
latest episode and shares thisand I was just shocked out.
(34:21):
Just shocked because I'vealways I had been listening at
that point for a long time andloved them.
But they had a story once whereI think it was a listener story
and they had written in andthey bought a house that was, I
think, built in the 1800s andthe kitchen, I think, was like
pretty much the original, youknow, like kitchen space.
(34:44):
But they said late one nightthey came in to and this was
probably a time slip now thatI'm thinking about it they came
into their kitchen and there wasa woman at their sink and she
was in kind of old timeyclothing and turned around and
looked at her and looked alarmedand so and that was sort of
what that story was about waslike who's the ghost?
(35:06):
You know, like like she hadslipped into this previous
existence of this house, butthat woman is still existing
somewhere in some realm and toher this like futuristic person
was probably the ghost, you know.
But it sort of made me think ofthat of like just yeah, you
maybe were existing, you know,on on in realms that are just
(35:30):
like a hairs or just like abreath, apart from one another
and maybe sometimes they justinteract and like what is time,
which is a whole notherconversation, but that's yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
Yeah, I agree too
with that, like because really,
when you start thinking abouttime, travel and time and like
we get more and moreunderstanding of time, but I
mean time is really just ourexperience of it, like time
doesn't actually exist.
It's really weird, like thewhole topic.
And you know, I've always said,like I always wonder if people
who are psychic or now we'retalking about like ghosts or
(36:05):
things like that are.
You know, is it actually thatsome people just can experience
time in a different way?
You know, because, again, it'sjust about our perception of it.
So maybe that there's somethingin our brain that, yeah,
sometimes or is it?
Speaker 2 (36:23):
you know?
It's like I think about, likethe people always say, like you
know, like time may not bealigned, it might be a circle.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Each one has a
problem, but there's even like a
spiral time is a spiral.
Yeah.
Like different ways likebecause we talk about this one.
We had our the Rosa Hope on theshow or talk about oh yeah, and
we talked a bit about that andshe was like no, no, no circular
time because of free will.
And I was like, well, who?
Speaker 2 (36:49):
knows, but like who
knows, I mean it makes you think
of the.
Have you all seen the movieArrival?
Have you ever seen that movie?
It's one of my.
Wait, what did you say?
Have you seen it, paul?
Speaker 3 (37:02):
It's been a minute,
but yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
It's.
It remind me, like I alwaysthink about that movie when I
think about this question,because it's so much about like
kind of what is time and whatare our lives like laid out on
what, like, we think is lineartime.
But yeah, I, I don't know, Iit's moments like that, that I
go back into moments in my ownlife and I'm sort of like, have
(37:25):
I had time slips and notrealized it?
You know, like I, because Ihave.
You know, there's definitelybeen a few moments in my life
like my husband is going tolaugh when he hears this.
But one time we were driving inTexas, where we used to live,
just down a highway we drive byall the time, and there was a
man on the side of the road on ahorse carrying like this big,
(37:48):
like cross, like a cross youwould see, like at a church or
like planted in front of achurch, and I turned to him and
I was like, do you see that?
Because I mean I was ready tosend myself to the Looney Bend,
you know.
And he said, yeah, I see that,but he wasn't weirded out by it
at all.
It was like, you know, kind ofrural Texas.
He was like, oh, I'm sure it'sjust related to like a church
(38:09):
event or something, but I don'tknow.
I've had a few moments likethat where I've seen something
sort of out of place or, and nowI'm thinking, maybe, maybe I've
, maybe we all have tiny littletime slips throughout our lives
because maybe things are justglitching all around us.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Would we ever know?
Speaker 2 (38:29):
And we'd never know.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
The time slip
marathon is coming to an end,
but of course we close everyepisode with a duet, and for
this episode we picked a littlecold play Clocks.
Yeah, because, because, clocks.
Speaker 4 (38:46):
Clocks Time.
You got it Actually, like whenI was listening to it, because I
was like, oh, you know, I wasthinking about songs.
We just did deep cuts, songsabout time, right, and that one
came up a bunch and I was like,yeah, it's kind of interesting
actually when you startlistening to the words and
talking about, like differentplaces or things, events like I
(39:07):
was like, oh yeah, totally youcould be talking about going
through different times withthis.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
So Good, and, amanda,
I applaud you always because
you're always at the mercy ofwhatever I send you.
So, like as usual, I haven'tseen or heard the edited version
yet, but Hopefully it's OK.
Here is Amanda and I performingvirtually together while we
were apart.
Cold plays, Clocks.

to finally be able to be on one.
You know, I feel like my voice.
I've mostly just absorbed andconsumed it, and to get to talk
about it in a venue is reallyfun.
Yeah, I'm just and I know I'vekind of been like throwing a lot
of spaghetti at the wall andthrowing things out.

You talk to each other, butthen you get to just throw some
ideas out there about you knowsome of it's from the internet,
(45:43):
some of it's sort of folklore,Some of it's.
I mean, we live in a worldwhere we're constantly inundated
with so much information and somany stories, so it's nice to
be able to talk it out and thinkabout what it means in terms of
our own lives, in terms of howwe think about things or live
our lives.

You know what.
It's funny I'm very busy andI'm right at Paul knows I'm
writing.
Right now I'm writing a book,but I will do it, I will.
There are certain things, no,for you know, when you're
passionate about something, youwill say yes, and it's like what
I talked about when I, you know, we did the co-casting for Cove
.
You say yes when it's somethingyou're past, is like the clock
(49:16):
will make room and make time forthings when you're passionate
about it.
And that's how I feel aboutthings like this, like I
wouldn't.
There's some things I wouldn'tsay yes to at this point in my
life, but I totally went on this.
So just to be honest.
But no, for real, this has been, this has been just an absolute
