It was insanely cold and schoolwas canceled and or wait a
minute, no, yeah, it was aholiday, so there was no school
it was tuesday tuesday tuesdayschool was canceled, but today

(06:11):

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Actually, it is ungodly hot where I'm sitting
right now.
Um, I am profusely sweating asI'm just talking and, um, I have
to wear my my quote-unquotepajamas, which is like, just you
know, jason vorhees, housepants and a shirtless shirt
shirt, wait.
Sleeveless.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
Shirtless shirt wait shirt, shirt, shirtless shirt is
just not a shirt, yeah lordknows we don't need that.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
So anyway, um, and I'm, I'm sweating, still
sweating.
I'm literally I'm in my homeand I'm hot, like some sort of
animal that has to live out.
I don't know like it's.
I don't deserve this.
I I tried to have the garagedoor open during the recording,

(07:07):
but I have the queen concertover here in four sweaters um, a
hat, a pair of gloves, ablanket and the heater on
underneath the table for somereason, I don't know why okay,
hold on, but are you sweating?
Yes, I'm sweating, okay,anyways so is it hotter upstairs

(07:28):
?
I don't know, I haven't.
Yeah, I went up there for about45 seconds as it changed into
into the attire that I wastalking about, you know, with
the shirtless shirt and um.
So uh, it was.
Yeah, it's a little warm upthere, but it's very warm down
here, yeah so how are you gonnaget any sleep if you know your

(07:49):
bedroom's upstairs?
so it's gonna be so hot up therewell, I sleep naked, dw, just
full on, no, nothing, justabsolutely starfishing all over
the bed naked.
That's how I do it, like thefrench do hang on um queen
concert.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
Since you're actually here, you can um, you can fact
check all this stuff that hesays, and so if he says
something not true, you can stophim.
Does he actually do that?

Speaker 5 (08:22):
he's not completely naked, but he does sprawl out on
my side of the bed and, likeelbows, are in my face at night
and sometimes they'll flip overand snore right in my face to be
fair, you are in my way you'reonly entitled to half the bed.

(08:43):
You're only entitled to halfthe bed, so it's half.
So it's half, never my half.
Tell them how you find me whenyou wake up, where am I in?

Speaker 3 (08:54):
on the bed?

Speaker 5 (08:54):
um, usually halfway off of it, which it's kind of
funny in a way, but not reallythere's sometimes my I'm
literally balancing, using mynightstand to balance to stay on
my eighth of the bed that'sjust because she's trying to get
away from me, and there's nogetting away from me, as
everyone should know why do Ihave the feeling that you guys

(09:15):
are going to become the couplethat have two separate beds?
We do.
He has his old bed and I'm whydon't you go try that bed?

Speaker 4 (09:26):
And he's like no, you're going to have the room
down the hall and yeah, we'regoing to have the two separate
twin beds.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
Oh, that sounds amazing.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yeah, separate twin beds.
You know we're going to havethe two separate twin beds and
I'm going to be like, hey, baby,tonight's the night we put
those beds together, you knowwhat I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (09:44):
A twin bed would be more than I have now, so exactly
, yeah, yeah whatever, I don'tknow what we're doing here.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
This is just we're going to paris and you're
sitting there talking crap.
This is the most romantic cityin the world and you are just
absolutely you're being mean tome both of you this.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yeah, yeah.
We're never going to get toParis.
You and me.
Yeah, exactly who are youromancing.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
I'm romancing you.
I'm going to be sneering at himas you call him, boo Boo.
It's going to make me mad, allright, so.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
This is why I thought it'd be funny to have that
other guest host we were talkingabout, so we could have more
people against you.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
That would guest host we were talking about, so we
could have like more peopleagainst you.
That would be.
It's probably in the uh in theworks.
I only call him boo-boo at work, it's okay.
Uh, don't like it either way.
All right, we have things to dobefore we get going on this,
before we pack our bags and goto go to wonderful, awesome,
amazing gay paris.

flying over the atlantic andwe're gonna land right now in
paris.
Freaking france, let's go toParis, guys.
And when we're there, let'slook up, well, look down, Go

(15:54):
down Beneath the city of Paristo the catacombs.
What do you think?
Huh, should we?
All?
Right, I'm good, let's go backhome.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
What do you think, huh Shall, we All right, I'm
good, let's go back home.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
I mean, I can see why you would say that DW the
catacombs, I hear, are a prettyscary place.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
Yeah, okay, whatever, yeah Okay.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
It is sincerely.
It is ranked one of the tophaunted places in the world,
okay, okay, it's ironic thatit's one of the top haunted
places in the world becausethere's only one real ghost
story that comes out of it.
But several hundred people overthe years actually several
hundred people probably everydecade over the years have, you

(16:48):
know, said they experiencedvoices, touching, seen
apparitions and all that stuffdown there in the catacombs.
So we're going to get to thatstuff, the hauntings and
everything.
So we're going to get to thatstuff, the hauntings and
everything.
But we have to go through someof the history of the catacombs.

(17:10):
And not only are we going to goto the Paris catacombs, we're
going to leave Paris, we'regoing to drive our way.
Drive, yeah, we could drivethere from Paris.
Yeah, we can.
Okay, I'm not really good ongeography, but I'm pretty sure
we can get there.
Or driving.
Shut up.
So, anyway, we can leave Parisand we're gonna drive our asses

(17:31):
all the way to Italy and we'regonna go to see some catacombs
there too.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
Do we have to drive?
That's a long drive.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
Fine, I'll get another flight, you happy?

Speaker 4 (17:42):
Okay, perfect, we'll fly over there Are we sitting
next to each other.
Because I don't want to.

Speaker 5 (17:50):
You can have the window seat.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
It's not the window.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
It's just I don't want to be away from, I don't
want to hear your marriageissues and all that.
We don't have marriage issuesWell, not yet, because you're
not married.

Speaker 5 (18:08):
He's going to take part of your seat too.

Speaker 4 (18:14):
Yeah, what if you fall asleep on the flight and
you starfish in?
Your seats and the stewardess,sir, sir, excuse me, sir.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
They weren't even asking the questions why I'm
naked?
Just sir, you can't starfish,they don't care, I'm naked,
naked starfishing.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
Ladies and gentlemen, we have to return to the gate.
There's a naked man starfishingin his seat.
I'm going to have to call thelocal police and have him
removed from the flight this ishow I sleep.
Thank you for flying unitedunited.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
I ain't made of money , we're going spirit we're not
gonna make it then he won't bethe only one naked, then.
Spirit Airlines is like theGreyhound bus of the sky.

Speaker 4 (19:10):
Right.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
It's like a Greyhound with wings is what I've heard.
Okay, so we're not going to getSpirit Airlines to do any
sponsorships for us?
I think it would be great thatthey did.
You know what.
They're right.
You know what.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
If they want to fly me to Paris, I might change my
mind, and then next week I'll besaying Spirit is a great place
that is true the homeless peopleare very classy on that flight.

Speaker 5 (19:45):
Not difficult at all.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
No, they are not difficult waves at all we got
there on time.

Speaker 4 (19:51):
It was crazy.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
All right, so all right, queen, consort, me and
you are going to romanticallystroll in Paris on our ways to
the catacombs, with thedifficile wave here, and so
let's, let's, let's do this,shall we?
yeah all right.
I'm sure our listeners, by thispoint, have already shut us off

(20:17):
.
So it's all good, it's fine,all right.
So we're gonna, like I said,we're gonna start at the
catacombs of paris, which ishonestly, which is really funny,
the, the parisian way ofpronouncing it is catacomb de

(20:39):
paris, right, catacomb de paris.
Uh, most people may know this,but I'm going to let you know
anyway.
Six million human remains aredown there, the human remains of
six million people.
Now, to put that to scale,that's two cities of Chicago,

(21:09):
ooh, chicago, the windy city, myfavorite place.
Two cities worth of people, twoChicago cities worth of people
down in the catacombs.
You want to know how thecatacombs started, dw?
You know why they're there, sixmillion people down in the
catacombs.
You want to know how thecatacombs started, dw.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
You know.
You know why they're there.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
Six million people died in the same spot and
they're like, hey, let's buryhim here I mean kind of, yeah,
that's, that's almost exactlyhow it went, but there's a
little difference there.
First of all, uh, there waslike overcrowding of the
cemeteries because like sixmillion people died, right.
So their idea was they weregoing to take this mine that was

(21:51):
underneath the city, right,it's like a mine shaft or
whatever.
And they're like, hey, we'rejust going to put these people
that's overcrowding cemeteriesin this mine.
Nobody's going to care.
You know, that's what they werethinking Nobody, nobody's going
to care.

Speaker 5 (22:04):
You know, that's what they were thinking nobody,
nobody's going to care at all.
But they also might have beenthinking that they want to
relieve congestion and improvesanitation.
Perhaps I'm just making that upwho knows who's making one up.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
All right, but as we both said in just two different
ways, is that it was built toconsolidate the human remains of
everybody that's there and stopthe congestion of the
cemeteries and to help with,like at that time I'm thinking
it was after the plague, right,I mean, the plague didn't kill
all these people, but it wasafter the plague.

(22:44):
Well, there's been other citieswhere it affects groundwater oh
yeah, I think it was london oh,yeah, yeah, so put it below the
groundwater there we go, allright.
So basically, you know, in 1774is when it actually started to.

(23:07):
They started to prepare for theuh for this happening, with,
like a series of like basementwall collapses happened, um, at
the holy immaculate cemetery,okay, and it added a sense of
urgency.
They, they needed to hurry upand get this stuff going.

(23:27):
So they like just startedmoving in by 1788.
There was nightly processionsof covered wagons that were
taken these bones, these remains, to the catacombs, nightly
processions of several coveredwagons.

(23:48):
They're just moving the stuff.
Okay, kind of crazy.
Can you imagine that, seeingthat I mean, it's 1788, so like
nowadays you'd just be likelooking out the window and
seeing a hearse go by.
But back then, like pretty muchdone in secrecy, in the veil of

(24:08):
night, right, I mean, they weretrying to get it to where the
people of Paris weren'tterrified because they were
moving all these bodies.

Speaker 5 (24:20):
Feasible.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
But, yeah, they decided to move them all into
this mine shaft.
Therefore, bada boom, thecatacombs were born, but it
didn't become a thing until alittle bit later on, like I
think it actually opened up in1810 or something like that,
where they started like, uh,recognizing it as a cemetery of

(24:45):
some sort, and actually peoplehave been buried there
throughout the years, even after, you know, opening up.
There's a lot of other coolstuff that goes on down there.
You could look at it cool in acouple different ways.
Like there's a bunch of cultsand stuff that that do

(25:07):
sacrifices and whatnot down downin there because they believe
that they're closer to hell.
Um, I don't know, that's,that's.
That's kind of a weird thing.
Uh, in like 2010, I believe2010, I believe Paris police
found a full movie theater downthere, what With seats and a big

(25:32):
screen.

Speaker 5 (25:32):
How much was admission?

Speaker 3 (25:35):
Four bones so much cheaper.
Pick up the bones on the wayover.

Speaker 4 (25:43):
And they were playing Magic Mike, or what was the.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
They didn't say exactly what it was.

Speaker 4 (25:54):
A whole new world.
Yeah, it just seemed toofitting to have it or some
horror movie going on.
It probably was as above.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
the board was as above trying to think of, like
you know, children's movies orthe notebook or something as I
said, it could have been asabove so below which is actually
a movie based on the catacombs,which a little fun fact for any
of those who care it is theonly movie that's ever been
allowed to film in the catacombs, um, so I mean, there's that

(26:31):
obviously, um, and it was in thecatacombs.
They were given special likeconsideration.
Uh, there's a scene with apiano in it.
Um, they, they moved the pianodown there.
They were given considerationfor that.
And there's a scene with a carand a car burning, also actually
in the catacombs.

(26:52):
They were given considerationfor that, but it's the only
movie ever filmed there.
And um, cast and crew have saidagain, voices, apparitions,
touching things like that werehappening as they were filming
this movie about essentiallythis said Descension, the

(27:13):
Descension into hell.
So I'll get you in character, soI'm grabbing your ponytail or
worse, right scratching yourback oh, oh, that'd be nice
actually you're weirdo I mean,I'm not welcoming it in any way,
but if ghosts was gonna scratchreally over yeah, I could see
you, okay.

Speaker 5 (27:33):
I I know I'm drawing blood, but can you go to the
left?

Speaker 3 (27:37):
I have an itchy back.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
It happens all right, so it's too hard.
I'm bleeding too hard, I Toohard.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
No, he'd be like harder, harder.
Got some ribs, that's okay,harder.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
My back itches, it's quite all right.
So a lot of notable people wereburied in the catacombs.
I guess I don't know Notable towho?
I don't really know.

(28:11):
But I mean, there's people andI'm sure I'm going to name off
some of these people, and I knowfor a fact my lovely queen
consort is going to know some ofthese people and probably tell
me I'm wrong in some way oftrying to pronounce their name.

(28:34):
This one's pretty easy.

Uh, she was buried 1793.
Um, I have no idea what this is.

Marie Jean Herald de Lucille,duplessis, duplessis.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
No, I don't know, I'm just.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Thanks, I actually thought, maybe you knew and I
was like oh wow, cool I wasimpressed for like half a second
.

Speaker 5 (29:50):
I should have just kept it out I thought he was
just making these names up andyou validated one but here's the
thing.

Speaker 4 (29:57):
So here's the secret conviction.
You just need to say it with,just say it with confidence, and
and it sounds right.
So when you say vaudeleur, itsounds wrong, okay.
But if you say chaque vaudeleur, it sounds right, because you
just plow right through it.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
So that's why me correcting you sounded right,
because I said it soconvincingly.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
That's true, you know , but it's bad.
My, I guess, french I learnedfrom Pepe Le Pew, so I mean,
that's what I said earlier Like,oh, marceli, we shall run naked
under the full moon.
All right, antoine Lauret de laVecée, there we go.

(30:49):
Madame Elizabeth, sister ofKing Louis the, what the hell?
Louis XIV, louis XV, nope,that's not right.
Louis XVI, louis XVIII andCharles X, queen Consort, are
you familiar with them, louisthe?

Speaker 5 (31:08):
16th, louis the 18th and Charles the 10th Queen
Consort.
Are you familiar with them?
My French history is not whatit should be.
It's not my British royalhistory.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
Exactly.
There we go.
If this was the catacombs ofLondon, we would have had this
baby nailed.
Francois Henry Ha, I did, I didit.
No, that's not right.
Whatever.
Maximilien robocet, louise,antoine des saintes juice,

(31:36):
georges corton and antoine semen.

Speaker 5 (31:46):
I wish I could make eye contact with DW right now no
, you don't alright.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
So we did talk about it was 2004.
By the way, it was a fullyequipped movie theater in the
area of the catacombs.
Underneath the truck of theirgay is equipped with a giant
cinema screen, seats for theaudience, projection equipment,
film reels of recent thrillersand film noir classics, a fully

(32:17):
stocked bar and a completerestaurant with tables and
chairs wow so not disney.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
No, it says the group leij group took responsibility
for the installation, so I don'tknow who that is it makes me
wonder, like did they have likea secret knock to get down there
, or how did that all work?

Speaker 3 (32:39):
that's very interesting it is, uh, there's
not a whole lot about it otherthan that.
So I don't know, likeapparently you, it was an
illegal operation, which is,which is crazy, because it's a
movie theater.
It wasn't, you know, runningdrugs, it was people watching
movies.

(33:00):
So I don't know, it was kind ofodd, all right.
And despite the fact that thisthing's been around for 230
years or so, there's only beenone reported death one, yeah,
which is crazy because you wouldfeel that there would be a

(33:22):
whole lot of it, that therewould be a whole lot of it, you
know, death when it comes to,you know, but just one reported
and okay, somebody who got lostand disoriented yeah, basically
his name is.
Here we go.
We're gonna do this again.
This is great.
It's like the Japanese episode.
Man, I can't say any of this.
Fedebert Esper.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
Espart.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
No, I'm just kidding.
There we go.
He was a doorkeeper for the Valde Grace Hospital.
He died in the catagomes.
Basically, he lost his lightsource and just couldn't find
his way out and he died.
That was 1793.
In 1804, which was obviously 11years later, his body was found
only a few meters away from thestaircase in which he could

(34:14):
have gotten out.
So it was pitch black and hecouldn't see like a few meters.
So you're talking three feet isa meter.
We're obviously doing themetric system, since we're over
in Paris.
So he was between three andwhat, 12 feet away from this
ladder or staircase which wouldhave got him out, and he sat

(34:37):
there and he died.
He was only identified by thehospital key ring and the
buttons on his jacket.
That was it.

Speaker 5 (34:46):
Oh, oh, so it was a while yeah 11 years.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
11 years yeah so it's the only reported death.
Now there are people thatsupposedly went missing, found
like a video camera and thingslike that, but it's not 100 like
100 like documented, like true,um, as far as well, you know,

(35:19):
as as far as people know,essentially, uh, yeah the
freaking catacombs dw.

Speaker 4 (35:29):
What do you?
What do you think would you gothere?
Um well, if spirit airlines isgonna pay for my flight to paris
, then yeah, I might consider itbut otherwise you wouldn't go.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
There's so many different things to do in paris.
You can go to the louvre isthat it right?
You can go to the trocadero isthat it right?
You can go to that big thing,the replica, the thing they have
in vegas yeah, you feel toweryyeah, vegas has it right.
The replicas in france, allright, so that thing.

(36:00):
And then you know the catacombs, but, most importantly, you can
go to pierre lecce, which is acemetery, and you can go over
into the poet section and makeyour.
You know, you can go over thereand pay your respects to oscar
wilde and stuff like that.
Or you can go see the guy, theman, the lead singer of the

(36:22):
doors, the true, the trueAmerican rock star, jim Morrison
.
He's buried in the poet sectionof Pierre Lachaise.
And the people in Paris thatare listening to this you
already know that You'veprobably been there and it's
probably badass.
And, if you have, take picturesof what you get and send it to
us at sclerospotgmailcom or justright below where it says send
your co-ghost a note.
Do that?
Yeah, it'd be awesome.

(36:42):
I Post a note.
Do that?
Yeah, it'd be awesome.
I'd like to see it.
I'd like to see it.
I'd like to see it for real,baby.
So when we're done with this,we're gonna take a walk down the
pier of the chain.

Speaker 5 (36:52):
You know I'm just gonna stay at the hotel and you
and DW can go look Count thehyperdermic needles on Jim
Morrison's headstone.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
That's not right, just because we saw one.

Speaker 5 (37:06):
I.
It's not right.
Just because we saw one, I meannot together, we saw one on a
video, in fact, because I saidHyperdermic Needles.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
Dw's out.
It was bad enough.
We took him to a pot showHyperdermic Needles.
Send him overboard.

Speaker 5 (37:18):
We go to the pot show first.
Break him down a little bit.
And then you work into theHyperdermic Needles.

Speaker 4 (37:24):
Maybe on our way to the paris catacombs we should
stop in amsterdam, right dw I Imean I, I guess we might as well
, because it's not, I mean nodifferent than here, now that
that's legal so that's not true.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
Amsterdam's way better, I bet it's way better.
And the restrict?
There's not restrictions on it.
So oh, hang on your hat.
It'd be good stuff, very good,all right.
So we talked about the, the,the history, a little bit of of
the catacombs.
We started talking a little bitof the hauntings, but I did.

(38:02):
I did end up finding a couplemore things, but before we go to
that, I do have to take it overhere to my lovely queen contour
, because I can see it was rightthere anyway.
So do you have anything?
What do you got on on thecatacombs, anything that I

(38:22):
missed?
yes, I as a matter of fact, youmissed everything.

Speaker 5 (38:28):
Well, I didn't know, I was going to be on a podcast
tonight, so I only had a fewhalf hours to prepare.
How long did?

Speaker 3 (38:35):
I prepare.

Speaker 5 (38:36):
Huh.

Speaker 3 (38:37):
Nothing Go ahead.

Speaker 5 (38:39):
And I didn't want to sit here not saying anything or
not having anything to add.
So I did a little bit ofresearch about other catacombs
and I'm just going to go with myfirst and foremost favorite,
the Capuchin catacombs, whichare in Palermo, italy, and there

(39:02):
they have 8,000 bodies andmostly it started off as priests
and friars and whatnot, andover time they were letting in
different classes and you couldliterally go in and pick out
your little niche in the walland what they do is they're not

(39:29):
bones, they're actually wholepeople, still dressed in their
Sunday best, and you can see theage over time.
And they're for the most partin the same stage of decay.
But some are worse than others,maybe missing a jaw, but, you
know, a leg whatever.
Their most famous I'm going togo ahead and call it is a little

(39:51):
two-year-old girl.
I think she was two years old,rosalia Lombardo, and she died
in 1920 of the Spanish flu andher father was so heartbroken he
went to a local chemist andsaid I want her to be preserved
forever, and they're not 100%sure what kind of embalming
concoction he made, but she isjust hardly decaying at all from

(40:16):
passing away in 1920.
And she is a beautiful littlegirl and I did watch a
documentary years ago about thecatacombs and how they are
looking to preserve them furtherby adjusting, like the humidity
, and just making it optical Ican't optimal so the decay slows

(40:38):
down throughout the as it ages,as it ages.
So that is my favorite.
And so if you look up Capuchincatacombs in Palermo, there's

(40:59):
some wonderful pictures of whatI'm talking about.
There's another one, theCapuchin crypt, so the Capuchin
friars.
They know how to hang up bodies.
There's 4,000.
And eventually, again, othersocial groups were able to
participate and get buried there.
But these are bones Again,they're not whole corpses and

(41:23):
they will actually make crosses,chalices and chandeliers out of
the body parts, out of thebones.
Not my favorite, but still.
That's in Rome, italy.
And then I just wanted to throwone more in there and I'm going
to butcher this, but not as badas he butchered everything.

(41:45):
There's the Kutna Hora in theCzech Republic.
There is 40,000, mostly plaguevictims.
Monks stacked the bones 400years ago as a reminder that
church is a community of bothliving and dead.
And let me just circle backaround to Palermo.

(42:06):
They have a quote we were whatyou are and you will become what
we are now, which is kind of amind fuck.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
Yeah, a little bit.

Speaker 5 (42:19):
I mean it's kind of a piggyback off of.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
We were alive, now we're dead.
I mean, that's what they'resaying.

Speaker 5 (42:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
That's crazy.
And then, to circle back backaround, you said the monks know
how to really hang up bodiesyeah, it's kind of like hanging
beef jerky.
I was gonna say a little jacklinks the italians over there
it's like a meat on the hookthere's no meat left.

Speaker 5 (42:45):
Google the pictures.
That's cool.
You won't be disappointed,unless if you're disappointed.

Speaker 3 (42:50):
Yes, if you want to be disappointed or don't be
disappointed, continue listening.

Speaker 4 (42:55):
You won't be disappointed, unless you're
disappointed.
I don't mean to offend you, butI don't care if I do.

Speaker 3 (43:02):
That's true, that is.
Tell me sincerely, everybody islistening.
Dw queen consort.
If that does not likeabsolutely 100, epitomize myself
.
I mean that is me right to a tbe disappointed or don't I mean
that too.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
Yeah, everyone who meets you is either disappointed
or not, that's pretty much, Idon't know where you're going
with that I meant like the Idon't mean, I mean that too.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
Yeah, everyone who meets you is either disappointed
or not, exactly.

Speaker 5 (43:27):
That's pretty much it .

Speaker 3 (43:27):
I didn't know where you were going with that I meant
like I don't mean to offend youthat works too, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 5 (43:36):
He was worried we were going to gang up on him.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
Yeah, I can handle you two.
I have no problem with this.

Speaker 5 (43:42):
We haven't started yet.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
All right, so you want to hear some legends of the
Paris catacombs?
That's pretty cool.
We took a little side trip.
We did go to Italy.
It was a lot of fun.
We had some wine a little bit,we had some spaghetti.

Speaker 4 (43:55):
I'd rather go to Italy.
So why are we leaving soquickly?

Speaker 3 (43:58):
Because For my flight here.
I want to spend some time.
Yeah, I mean, we're not evenhere, blame him.

Speaker 4 (44:08):
We're not even on this trip for 10 minutes and
already we don't like johnbecause he's telling us to leave
and we didn't want to.

Speaker 5 (44:15):
So we hardly stayed in the czech republic can we eat
?

Speaker 4 (44:18):
I mean, I wanted to eat while we were in italy I
mean sure you did you always.
I always talk about you knowgoing to a haunted bakery.
We're in Italy.
Now Can I have some pizza?

Speaker 3 (44:29):
Seriously, you don't buy pizza at bakeries, right?

Speaker 4 (44:33):
I know that you buy it in Italy.
You doofus Jeez.

Speaker 5 (44:38):
Just get him some Pizza Hut and let's go, okay.

Speaker 4 (44:44):
Travel to Italy to have McDonald's or's or
something.

Speaker 5 (44:47):
Yeah, they have alcohol there get in the car, dw
.

Speaker 3 (44:51):
There's pizza on the way back.

Speaker 5 (44:53):
We have pizza at home I'll be there yet I want the
pizza at home geez.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
All right.
So you want to hear more aboutparis?
I want to go back to paris.

Speaker 4 (45:06):
That's a romantic yes , we've left italy now, so what
are we talking about in paris?
I'll turn this plane around ifI have to get a croissant yeah,
you have a croissant.

Speaker 3 (45:17):
Me and the lovely queen cancer will do romantic
things and one of the romanticthings we're going to do is
we're going to go down into thecatacombs again because it's a
lot of fun.
And I don't know if you knowthis or not, but the Queen
Consort and myself are kind oflike taffophiles.
We like cemeteries.
It's pretty badass.
So the catacombs will be awhole lot of fun, but at the

(45:46):
same time, if there's any energydown there, that's going to be
a little bit wonky.
The Queen concert is going toneed to leave in a freaking
hurry because otherwise it'sgoing to be bad.
Don't like it.
Yeah, not good.
All right, so when we're downin the catacombs, we're there.
We're there because we want theparanormal stuff, we want the
fun paranormal stories and, likeI said, there's not a whole lot
of them, but we're going to goover just a few of them right

(46:08):
now.
Um, obviously we've beentalking about this.
You know people who have goneon tours in the cat.
By the way, it's just a littlesidetrack there the catacombs do
have tours.
They have them daily.
Uh, they started 9 45 in themorning in paris, so I have no
idea what time that is inaccordance to us.

(46:29):
I think it's either is it eighthours in the other direction,
is it?
Is it the next day there now,or is it previous?
considering it's 8, 22 here nowI'd like to think that's
tomorrow okay, I don't know wait.

Speaker 5 (46:46):
I didn't know this was going to be on the test.

Speaker 3 (46:48):
I didn't know it was either.
I was just asking You're infront of us, right?
Because if New York is an hourahead of us, so they're
continuing ahead, so they'reliterally next week.

Speaker 4 (47:03):
Paris is 3.23 am tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (47:07):
Yep, okay, so they have the tours there.
It's basically the museums ofParis, the people who run the
Louvre and, I believe, theTrocadero and things like that.
Basically they run it right.

(47:28):
So, because it is a historicallandmark with obviously some
dark shit attached to it.
But you know, whatever thepeople that go on the tours,
they say that you know, they'veseen apparitions, like literally
seen people in these caves,like literally seeing people in

(47:48):
these caves.
Another thing we want to sayabout the catacombs is only part
of that actually has bones init.
I mean, yeah, there's sixmillion people that are buried
there, but only part of thecatacombs have bones in them.
The other part are just liketunnels that weave all around
and down and around in paris andI think, uh, leading to the
river, if I remember right, orsomething like that too.

(48:10):
It's it's quite, it's quitecrazy people that live in paris
and have been down there.
You can tell us exactly whatit's like, or whatever.
But or if anybody's actuallybeen there and toured it, you
could tell us what it's like too.
Um, it's something I would liketo do, like I said, in the near
future.
Gotta go to paris, take thequeen consort, maybe dw, we'll

(48:32):
fly spirit and then we'll,because it'll be like we'll fly
spirit airlines.
It'll be like 25 for the ticketand, yeah, 45 round trip,
probably exactly what it wouldbe, anyway.
But the people that have been onthese tours say they've seen

(48:52):
apparitions, heard voices andfelt being touched, pony tails
getting tugged backs gettingscratched, you know all that
good stuff.
There's a legend that says,though, that after midnight the
walls speak and try to convincethe visitors to go deeper into

(49:13):
the catacombs, which is kind ofironic because if that's the
case, they took that legend andthey put it in the movie as
above, so below.
So, dw, have you seen the movie?
As above, so below.

(49:33):
So, dw, have you seen the movieas above, so below?
No, you should watch it, it'snot too bad.
It's one of those found footagefilms, so the camera moves
around a lot, you know, and allthat, but it's still.
It's still pretty cool.
Um, all right.
So obviously we already talkedabout the hospital doorman.
I'm going to try to say hisname again Philibert Asper.
Okay, it's kind of funny.

(49:55):
Anyway, he disappeared downthere.
They found him feet away fromthe place.
He would have got up, but 11years he spent down there there,
which is ironic in a way,though.
Think about this are youtelling me nobody went from the
hospital downstairs into thatarea for 11 years?

Speaker 4 (50:20):
maybe it's kind of crazy, maybe in that area, I
don't know.
I don't know how big it is Imean, I'm assuming.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
It's really like if he lost his light source he
couldn't see anything.
So I'm assuming it was justabsolute pitch black.
So if anybody was going downthere they would have had a
light source, right.
So I would assume that unlessthey didn't look in the
direction that he was in, thatnobody was down there for 11
years.

Speaker 5 (50:47):
Well, it depends how far he was wandering.

Speaker 3 (50:50):
Well, he was only several meters away from the but
that doesn't say how far.

Speaker 5 (50:55):
I suppose that makes sense.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
Yeah, I mean, it's no different than I mean, to be
honest, where we're sittingright now, to the garage door,
you know what I mean.
So I mean, unless the lightsource was that dim that you
know, they got to within, Iguess, visual feet of him and
where the you know the darknesslaid, whatever, I don't know.

(51:19):
Otherwise, you got to thinkthat nobody went down there for
11 years and I just find thatjust odd, considering he wasn't
that far or he was moved backeither way well, and who knows
how long.

Speaker 5 (51:32):
Here's the sad thing how long he was crawling or
attempting to feel his way back,yeah, and he just gave up or or
just died meters away.
That's so sad.
You were in the homestretch.

Speaker 3 (51:47):
Yeah, that's not good .
And then also, obviously, sixmillion people down there.
A lot of people believe thatthey haunt these catacombs.
There's a bunch of books.
I believe that they're fiction,they could be um, these

(52:12):
actually, I think, arenon-fiction.
It's ghosts of the catacombs bydonna, a book about the
parisian catacombs, I believe,like whatever.
And then haunted catacombs bylee mountford, a book about the
series um of all the catacombsby Lee Mountford, a book about
the series um of all thecatacombs.

(52:35):
Now, yeah, what is DW?
What's your take on thesethings?
You're talking six millionpeople, 6 million people buried
in one spot and like I can'tremember the exact space that it

(52:56):
is, but I mean, that's a lot ofpeople, man.
I think, like what is it?
Lakewood?
Lakewood Cemetery is quitelarge and it has tens of
thousands of people there orsomething like that.

(53:16):
It's nowhere near that amount.

Speaker 5 (53:24):
Well, and it's not as compact either when you think
about how many people that youcan stack on top of.
I mean, just picture how manyfemurs you can get into a small
area versus neatly separatedplots in a cemetery.

Speaker 4 (53:40):
That's true, right, yeah.

Speaker 3 (53:43):
All right, so you ready, because I got the
dimensions, that dimensions ofthe parish catacombs, ready.

Speaker 4 (53:52):
Okay, all right.

Speaker 5 (53:53):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (53:54):
Okay, it stretches over 280 kilometers, cause you
know we're talking about.
Yeah, Right.
Which is 174 miles.

Speaker 5 (54:04):
Wow, what percent.
So let's say what percent ofthat is actually4 miles?
Wow, what percent of that isactually catacombs or like with
bones?

Speaker 3 (54:14):
The official section of the catacombs is 1.7
kilometers long.
Okay.

Speaker 4 (54:23):
So if you're talking that big, then it's not so weird
that there was some part of itthat wasn't explored for 11
years.
So because, if it's thatmassive, right, I'm guessing,
I'm guessing that's not the onlyway out.
And there are several otherentrances and exits that people

(54:46):
used and other places of it thatwere used, so if it's that
massive, that would explain whythere's someone could be down
there for that long.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
My thing is is that it was so he was found meters
from that staircase that he wentdown.
That's the thing, like you know, you know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (55:07):
that's, that's why yeah, you know I'm guessing
people back then have anaversion to going down there too
that it was right traffic.
Like they had the same fearsand aversions that we have now
it's not.

Speaker 4 (55:24):
It wasn't a tourist attraction back then.

Speaker 3 (55:28):
Right Now there's tours every day.
So you want to talk about howyou get down there.
Sure.
Let's talk about how you getdown there.
First of all, it's a staircaseand it's 131 steps.

Speaker 5 (55:40):
Is there an elevator up?

Speaker 4 (55:45):
Escalator.

Speaker 3 (55:47):
I'm counting the steps up to our room.
Do you need to?
Take your shoes off for this.
Shut up, that's 16 steps.
So you're talking 10 times that.
Roughly, I mean not quite, butkind of.
So eight times eight and a halftimes those steps.
I mean it's not horrible, it'snot too bad.
Walked up a lot before, butgoing back up is 112, which is

(56:12):
kind of weird.
The entrance is here we go.
This is going to be hard to sayis Place Denver Rochero.

Speaker 5 (56:26):
What's that mean?

Speaker 3 (56:27):
I don't know the Denver Rochero place is what it
means.

Speaker 4 (56:35):
It means place of Rochero.

Speaker 3 (56:37):
Yeah, pretty much.
A small green pavilion marksthe entrance.
And here's a little fun factOnly 200 visitors are allowed in
the catacombs at any timethat's probably crisis
management.

Speaker 5 (56:50):
If something were to happen with the structure, I
mean, you don't want too manypeople in there because they
they say that you know it'scracking it, they might have
small cave-ins.
So I I would imagine that theydon't want to have too many
people in there to rescue ifsomething happens and that's the

(57:12):
thing they were talking about,uh, at one point.

Speaker 3 (57:16):
If there are places in there that have obviously
depths of water, there areplaces in there where the
ceilings are not exactly 100like good and they could
collapse at any time.
There's places in there wherethe walls are falling in and
bones are hitting people andstuff oh my god, you don't come
back from that no, so thecatacombs are one of the largest

(57:42):
grave sites in the world.
We obviously talked about theother other catacombs that we
have heard of.

Speaker 5 (57:47):
Yeah, but nobody came close to 6 million.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (57:51):
I mean the other one was Checker.

Speaker 3 (57:53):
Club at 40,000.
So one of I'd like to know whatthe largest is.

Speaker 5 (58:00):
Well, they're yeah.

Speaker 3 (58:01):
Are they talking?

Speaker 5 (58:05):
That's no.
Okay.
The catacombs are all over.
I mean, I was just kind ofGoogling, and Egypt.

Speaker 3 (58:15):
Oh yeah, the Egyptian ones.

Speaker 5 (58:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (58:19):
I'd like to know what if six million is one of the
largest.
I'd like to know what thelargest is.

Speaker 5 (58:25):
You're literally holding your phone.

Speaker 3 (58:26):
You should, yeah, I should be able to look at this.
It's okay, I'm gonna look, buthere I'm gonna check it and
we're gonna find, have thatanswer here in just a couple
minutes, um, a couple of minutes.
Obviously you know thecatacombs.
We talked about this earlier.
They were built in the 18thcentury to relocate the remains.
Um, it's a unique perspectiveon Paris has passed, because

(58:48):
obviously all those people Imean they died somehow.
It doesn't go over the exactcauses of death, but some of
them are from the, uh, frenchRevolution, uh, a lot of them, I
think was the first plague, theone that took out, like all of
Europe.
Yeah, the bubonic one, was thatthe first?
I mean the bat, that was thebad one, right?

(59:09):
black death, yeah yeah, okay, sothat one.
You know, I would assume a lotof that.
And then, obviously, in theearly 20th century we had the um
flu, the spanish flu andwhatever, so that took a lot of
people out.
It wasn't all horrific deaths,but a lot of them were.
A couple of those people thatwe talked about earlier were,

(59:34):
let's just say this, their bodyand their skull are probably two
different places down there.
They are, anyway, pretty muchso.
Another little fun fact, andmaybe this I don't know, maybe
we can a woman's perspectivehere.

(59:56):
We have a woman's perspectiveDW.
We don't have DW's perspective.
We have a woman's perspectivehere.
Yeah, and your queen concert aswell.
Perspective here.

Speaker 4 (01:00:03):
And your Queen concert as well.

Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
So I'm going to say this and then I want to know the
thoughts on why this would bethe way it is.
The tour is not recommended forthose with limited mobility,
which I mean, obviously, becauseyou're down there, you don't
know what it is Pregnant womenor people with claustrophobia,

(01:00:29):
so why not pregnant women?

Speaker 4 (01:00:35):
you're physically limited or wouldn't, wouldn't
there be chemicals and weirdstuff emitting from the
decomposition Dink?

Speaker 5 (01:00:56):
and wet.

Speaker 4 (01:00:58):
Right, that would harm a fetus.
I wonder if that's it.
That's my thought.

Speaker 5 (01:01:06):
Mold would definitely be a an issue mold okay but
again, if there's like a medicalemergency at that time they
have to drag somebody you knowand, and I'm guessing, for the
tour they don't go ridiculouslydeep, but kind of a why risk it?
Kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
It's very true.
I can see that I can understandthe claustrophobia because,
like that, first of all it'sprobably a tiny space because
those are old mine shafts andeverything.
Second of all, all the bonesthat are there probably makes it
a little bit more, makes itlook like oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:01:44):
And if there is a cave in, you're not only risking
the life of the mother, butthat of the fetus so well I just
kind of wonder also if it'slike the same reason you can't
travel if you're so many monthspregnant.

Speaker 4 (01:01:58):
They don't want to have to deal with delivering a
child in that situation.
Oh that's true too.

Speaker 5 (01:02:03):
What a story, though.
So where were you born?

Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
Yeah, Paris Catacombs .

Speaker 5 (01:02:10):
There's the circle of life there Life and death.

Speaker 4 (01:02:12):
This is our son Bones , tell him how you got that name
, son.

Speaker 3 (01:02:18):
It'd be funny, probably like crazily would
inadvertently, I don't know stopa curse or something from
happening by a baby being borndown there or something oh you
know what I mean?
Like it would just be, it'd benuts.
The other thing uh, this isanother cool little fun fact,

(01:02:39):
not really paranormal, but justa fun fact in general they can't
have large foundations on topof the catacombs.
So because they can't havelarge foundations on top of them
, there's not very many bigbuildings there.

Speaker 5 (01:02:59):
Makes sense.
Now they have to preserve whatthey put underneath, which means
no structures, large structureson top of it yeah, all those
people would be all like yeahlost forever.

Speaker 3 (01:03:17):
So we were talking earlier about, I was like the
catacombs are one of the largestburial grounds in the world.
So I wanted to see what thelargest burial ground in the
world was and that is, oh, again, this is going to be hard to do

(01:03:39):
because I'm, I'm, my iraqi isreally bad, okay, but it's worse
than your french yeah, I wouldsay that it's the wadi al salim.
Oh, that makes sense.
Cemetery in nahaf, iraq, andit's also known as the hectares,
which is 3.54 square miles Okay, contains more than 6 million

(01:04:19):
bodies.
It has been in use since the 7thcentury wow um, it's the final
resting place of many prophets,scientists and royals.
Um, oh, this is gonna be hard.

(01:04:41):
I shiite, is that right?
Shiite Muslims Okay, a popularburial site for Shiite Muslims
from Iraq and Iran, and islocated near the Imam Ali Mosque
, which contains the tomb of thefirst Shiite Imam.
So, yeah, that is the largestburial site in the world.

Speaker 5 (01:05:06):
That is so old Valley of Peace.
That's impressive.

Speaker 3 (01:05:09):
And again, there's remains of 6 million people in
the catacombs.
This says contains more than 6million bodies.
So question it says remains of6 million.
We're not talking full remainsin most cases in the catacombs,

(01:05:36):
because if that was the case, Imean the wording here is
different.
This one's bodies Catacombssays remains.
I mean, are we splitting hairsor is there a reason for that?

(01:05:56):
And this one would be thenumber one and then the
catacombs would be one of thelargest.

Speaker 5 (01:06:05):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:06:06):
It's kind of weird.
Kind of weird.
I don't know.
Did you hear that DW what thelargest burial site in the world
is?

Speaker 4 (01:06:17):
So is it more than?
Well?
They said more than 6 million,right, but wasn't Paris 6
million?
My thinking is at that point.
That's an estimate, so they'reprobably pretty close either way

(01:06:42):
, Because I doubt anyone'scounted all six million of them
that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:06:52):
Are we splitting hairs when I'm saying remains
and bodies?
You know?
Because, right, yeah, um, doyou feel this is kind of weird?
I know we're crossing differentreligions and things like that
and I don't know what theirbeliefs are and things, but um,
um, what do you feel thehauntings would be like in that
cemetery in iraq, and would theyeven be like, talked about?

(01:07:14):
I mean, it's not, I don't know.
Is this still okay?
It's not a communist country,right?
No, not anymore.
They was.
They were liberated afterhussein who knows?
anyway.
So it's not north korea they.
If they somebody in north koreasaw a ghost, they'd be like, oh
no, no, that didn't happen um,I do.

Speaker 5 (01:07:37):
I.
I don't remember what show itwas on, but I do remember a uh,
somebody in the us military onsome sort of paranormal show
talking about an experience theyhad in the middle east.
Um, and I can't even rememberwhat the entity was, but it
happens everywhere.
I think it was by a cemetery,but I don't think it was the big

(01:08:00):
one.

Speaker 3 (01:08:01):
Yeah, but um, but yeah, I think hauntings are

(01:08:29):
pretty much across the board,with areas that are
significantly more, if thatmakes sense, like equal
opportunity, but there's justcertain areas that are a magnet
for it.
So do you think that cemeterywould be just as haunted or more
haunted than the catacombs, andis the catacombs more or less?

Speaker 5 (01:08:37):
active than what people might actually say.
I don't know how that wouldwork.
I don't know what makes onecemetery more haunted than
another.
I can think of situations likeum, you know, place with high,
something that really bad thathappened, that there was high

(01:08:59):
emotion unresolved, that mightmake something haunted.
But cemetery to cemetery, whoknows.

Speaker 3 (01:09:07):
Okay.
So with that you know, you have6 million people in the Paris
catacombs.
You don't know how they died.
They died Some of them theFrench revolution, obviously,
some of the flu, some of theplague, so all of them probably
pretty horrific deaths.
Perhaps, some of them boilingfrom the inside, some of them
boiling on the outside, likeyeah, not good, um, so I don't

(01:09:34):
know if anybody heard that.
Uh either, there's a militaryexpedition going on motorcycle
something's happening in thebackground, um, but also six
million people in the other one,I would assume probably pretty
horrific deaths as well.
So the question I I guess Ihave is like, would both of

(01:09:59):
those be extremely active or doyou feel like maybe it's a
possibility?
It's just kind of like aone-off and people just take the
stories and run say that again,like ask it in a different way
like okay.

(01:10:20):
so do you think that those thatthose cemeteries per square foot
right would just be immenselyactive, extremely haunted, or do
you feel like there's apossibility that people may have
a tiny experience, but they'reblowing it way out of proportion

(01:10:40):
and making these huge storiesout of little to nothing?

Speaker 5 (01:10:45):
I think it could be that.
I think people do that withtheir hauntings anywhere,
whether it be, you know, just apersonal property or a big
cemetery.
I do believe people, peopleexperience something and they,
they, they want other people tobelieve their emotional state
like what happened to them, wantother people to believe their

(01:11:12):
emotional state like whathappened to them.

Speaker 3 (01:11:16):
So I I think they might build up their words, okay
.
So question dw yeah, you thinkthat the paris catacombs are
really?
You think that the pariscatacombs are really truly
haunted, or is it just a lot ofreally cool stuff down there and
people are able to just makethings up and go with it?

Speaker 4 (01:11:38):
I mean probably both, Because well, and now that it's
such a tourist attraction forlack of a better word how are
you going to say you hear someweird voice off in the distance?

(01:12:01):
You're not alone, there's goingto be.
What did we say 199 otherpeople, because there's 200
people at a time, or whateverdown there.
So how do you know if what youheard was was paranormal or just
a voice off in the distance?
Right.

(01:12:23):
And in that situation, if you'rein a place like that and you
say, oh, I heard a voice, I betyou it's that person right there
who died, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:12:36):
I want to circle back to something that was said by
DW at the very beginning of this, and then I'm going to go to my
queen consort for her thoughtson this Not this particular
subject I'm talking about, butthe subject that I was talking
about before.
I'm going to this subject, andthen we'll go back to the other
subject, confused.

(01:12:57):
All right, we're going to gocircle back around to the
beginning of this, would youjust say it?
you spend more time explainingit before than you do actually
saying it I said do you thinkpeople are making it up or is it
really haunted?
And dw, for the first time onthis show, pretty much said it
could be both, which means hefeels that something really

(01:13:21):
truly could be haunted.

Speaker 4 (01:13:23):
And I don't think he's ever said that.
No, I said could be.
I'm not saying yes, for sure itis haunted.
I say it could be.

Speaker 3 (01:13:31):
But I'm just throwing it out there that maybe you're
opening up just a little bit toall this stuff and then you're
like, huh Kripers, maybe thesehauntings really are real.

Speaker 5 (01:13:44):
Sorry when he says Kripers, and then you get
frustrated.
It's just.

Speaker 4 (01:13:51):
Because it sounds nothing like me.
Jeez, and when's the last timeI said Kripers?

Speaker 5 (01:13:58):
Like right now.

Speaker 4 (01:14:00):
Other than now, I'm going to get a shirt, all right
here, hang on, hang on, we'lltalk about this.
Prypers, like right now, otherthan now, I'm going to get a
shirt here.
Hang on, hang on, we'll talkabout this.
But we'll get back to this.
But I want to talk aboutsomething that I think I maybe
before, but I want to before wetalk about this.
I just want to talk aboutsomething that we mentioned

(01:14:20):
before, and then we'll get backto what I was going to say
before, and then we'll get backto what I was gonna say before,
and then we'll get back to that.
Okay, ready, that's, that's mynew impression, so that's pretty
good it takes the long way,like I know everything, oh my
gosh, everything's like.
You know what that means.

(01:14:40):
That means you guys have beenwhen we do the sign off.
Just listen, We'll time thepause in there.

Speaker 5 (01:14:56):
I just think he likes to talk so much that he goes
around in circles and throwsextra words in, so it can last
longer.

Speaker 4 (01:15:03):
Yep longer, yep, yep.

Speaker 3 (01:15:04):
I've known people like that who just I last
perfectly fine that's why youdrive slow, so we're in the car
longer all right, I was gonnaask you a question, do you think
?

Speaker 4 (01:15:15):
the cat.
No, I was gonna ask you this,but before we ask that, let me
get back to this other thingthat I was going to say before.
Okay, do you think?
No, that's, that's, that's, ohgosh, oh geez.
Okay, so all right, but hedidn't get to finish oh gosh.

Speaker 3 (01:15:42):
Oh, geez, Okay, so all right.

Speaker 5 (01:15:44):
But he didn't get to finish.

Speaker 3 (01:15:47):
No Prypers Listen.

Speaker 4 (01:15:50):
Okay, here's the thing All right.

Speaker 3 (01:15:53):
So here's the thing.
Okay, I need to know.
No, get to the point quickerSee.
No, all right hang on.

Speaker 4 (01:16:02):
If you're going to do an impression of me, you can't
just do the voice, you have toget to the point quicker.
See, no, all right, hang on.
If you're going to do animpression of me, you can't just
do the voice, you have to getto the point quicker.
All right, you have tounderstand the differences
between how you talk and me.
For me, it's like all right,here's this or that.
You're ready, here we go.
Boom, with you, it's all right,this or that.
Are you ready?
Here we go question.

Speaker 3 (01:16:25):
All right, okay, shut up listen, okay, do you?
Do you think the catacombs arehaunted?

Speaker 5 (01:16:35):
um you know, surprisingly there wasn't a ton
of information.

Speaker 3 (01:16:40):
No.

Speaker 5 (01:16:42):
And it's counterintuitive because you'd
think that with that many bodiesI mean six million is so many
that the likelihood of therebeing some sort of haunting
would increase.
But I'm actually surprised athow little there is out there.

(01:17:06):
They're very vague, like echoes, which DW had a perfectly
logical explanation on how todebunk that.
You know, the tugging, thescratching Could be an animal.
The apparitions, orbs isbasically all I found, and even
even than tiktoks they're.
They're more explaining thecatacombs than anything haunted.

Speaker 3 (01:17:29):
So, um, I I'm sure there's something, but not to
the volume that I would haveexpected which is weird because
at the beginning of the show Isaid one of the most haunted
places in the world.
And I didn't say that becauseI'm just pulling it out of my
ass.
I said it because I read it.
I mean, I understand it was theinternet, so they're not 100

(01:17:50):
accurate, but I read it as oneof the most haunted places in
the world.
So if it was one of the mosthaunted places in the world,
don't you think there'd be ahell of a lot more stories?

Speaker 5 (01:18:02):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (01:18:04):
We had the one ghost story with supposedly the
doorman who's asking for help toleave, and then the legend of
the walls talking at night,after midnight or whatever.
So I mean, that's really it.

Speaker 5 (01:18:21):
Is the doorman the same as the, the um that guy's
friend in, as above and so belowthe one that was lost.
Yeah, they piggybacked on.

Speaker 3 (01:18:30):
Yeah, okay, so that's kind of cool.
Again, anybody who hasn't seenas above, so below, we mentioned
it in earlier on in the podcastwhen we were talking about the,
you know, being able to filmthere.
But there are parts of thatmovie that they did take from
actual real life.
Obviously they filmed in thecatacombs, we, we said that.

(01:18:50):
So those people that it wasn'ta set, it wasn't a replication
of it, that was the catacombs,um, obviously a small portion of
it, because it's so vast andI'm assuming that the paris
museum corporation or whateverit was able to like keep it, you
know, kind of compact orwhatever.

(01:19:11):
But if anybody's you can get iton google tv, uh, you could buy
it there for like 5.99 or go toamazon, you could rent it for
3.99 there.
Uh, I don't think it's on anyplatform because if it was, I
would have watched it for free.
So, um, yeah, just look at itas above, so below, good flick

(01:19:33):
kind, you know, obviously aboutthe catacombs, kind of goes into
a really really dark, dark area, which is kind of cool.
But, uh, absolutely check itout.
Um, is there anything elseabout paris we want to talk
about while we're here?
Anything anything at allbecause I, I feel, like you know
, since I'm in paris, you know,like I said before, you gotta go

(01:19:57):
see my good friend Jim Morrison, you know, did the people of
France ever forgive you that youhad to do a public apology.

Speaker 5 (01:20:10):
Are you even welcome back in France?

Speaker 4 (01:20:14):
Yes, I'll just go by myself, then, if you're not,
hurts for me.

Speaker 3 (01:20:20):
That's not.
That's not, that is not.
Yeah, that's not a good thing.
You're not going to go byyourself and you're most
definitely not going to go, yeah, with my queen consort.

Speaker 4 (01:20:36):
That's not she can stay with you.
That's fine.
Alright, cool.
She'll get pushed off the bedand I'll be on Spirit Airlines.
Everyone's a winner in thissituation.

Speaker 3 (01:20:48):
Yeah, especially you, spirit Airlines, Especially her
.

Speaker 4 (01:20:53):
Pushed off the bed.

Speaker 3 (01:20:56):
She likes it.
Yeah, so I just she didn'tagree.

Speaker 4 (01:21:08):
I'm scowling.

Speaker 3 (01:21:08):
you can't see it this is an audio only.
They won't be um the pierre lechai, the cemetery where, you
know, both jim morrison andoscar wilde and Oscar Wilde are
buried.
There are some stories of likeseeing ghosts wander in the

(01:21:31):
night and things like that, butnothing you can really tell
honestly, which is really sad,because I figured that would be
kind of cool and we're mostdefinitely going to visit there
when we go to Paris.
Baby, just thought I'd let youknow that we're going to go hang

(01:21:53):
out with Pierre Le Che.
We're going to make out in JimMorrison's grave.
It's going to be awesome.

Speaker 5 (01:21:57):
There's two things wrong with that statement.

Speaker 3 (01:21:59):
What.

Speaker 4 (01:22:05):
Only two.

Speaker 5 (01:22:08):
Making out at Jim Morrison's grave.

Speaker 3 (01:22:12):
There's nothing wrong with that.
People have done worse.

Speaker 4 (01:22:17):
That's how you justify it, jeez.
We're going to talk about hisgrave, for justifies anything.

Speaker 3 (01:22:24):
We're just going to talk about his grave for just a
second, okay.
Oh, this is a really cool thing.
Pierre Le Che was establishedin 1804 by Napoleon Bonaparte,
which is pretty badass.
Morrison's grave we weretalking about is next to like
Oscar Wilde.
It's like literally right inthat section.

(01:22:45):
Uh, it's marked by a simpleplaque that says basically like
Jim Morrison.
Uh, but it was stolen andthere's protective railings
around it now, um, everybodyleaves gifts, poems, other
messages, uh, syringes, uh,other messages, syringes,
panties.

Speaker 5 (01:23:04):
Isn't there graffiti?

Speaker 3 (01:23:05):
everywhere.
It's kind of a really coolplace to go.
People kiss marks.

Speaker 5 (01:23:13):
With their lipstick.
They kiss.

Speaker 4 (01:23:16):
So we just wanted to stop by Pierluce and share Sure
we get to go to the places youwant to go, but we're not going
to stay in Italy.
You wanted Pizza Hut.

Speaker 3 (01:23:28):
In Italy what is?

Speaker 4 (01:23:29):
wrong with wanting pizza in Italy?
Jeez, you go to Paris.
I'm going to stay here in Italy.
I'm going to go to Paris andeat.

Speaker 3 (01:23:38):
What do they?

Speaker 5 (01:23:42):
eat there Croissants.

Speaker 3 (01:23:44):
Oh yeah, I'll just eat croissants the whole time,
I'll be happy.

Speaker 5 (01:23:48):
They have croissants at Costco, we don't need to go.

Speaker 3 (01:23:52):
Do they have peanut butter?
Hey, is it called peanut butterin Paris, is it?
I don't know.
Croissants and peanut butter,I'll be happy.

Speaker 4 (01:24:07):
I've got authentic Italian food.
I don't care.

Speaker 5 (01:24:11):
Go ahead can you get 8 croissants for $7.99 no,
because it'd be Frank's.

Speaker 4 (01:24:18):
So there you go oh yeah you're on your own Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:24:24):
He knows their currency and stuff.
I didn't even look at thatstuff, I was just looking for
the hauntings and ghost storiesand stuff about dead people.
He knows what money they use.
Frank's.

Speaker 4 (01:24:34):
If you had spent less time practicing your French
accent and more time researching?

Speaker 3 (01:24:38):

show.
It's time to boogie back acrossthe pond back to cold-ass
Minnesota and do what we do atthe end of every single show,
and that is.

Speaker 4 (01:25:52):
you know, that is.

Speaker 3 (01:25:53):
Bring the momentums to a screeching halt.
No, no, it's this or that First, before we go to this or that.
Dw.

Speaker 4 (01:25:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:25:59):
I have to ask you several things about this, this
particular episode, and I wantyour, I want your words, I want,
I want you to tell me numberone did you have any interest at
all in the paris catacombsprior or even now?

Speaker 4 (01:26:19):
I mean there I I looked at the pictures.
It's interesting.
I would say that if I ever makeit to Paris Spirit or United
I've got a lot of places I'dwant to go to first, before I

(01:26:40):
got to the catacombs.
So I don't know if I'm evergoing to go there, not out of
fear, but just out of like.
I would much rather see um theeiffel tower the original one,
as you can't understand whateverbut um, I would go to the
Louvre to see some.

(01:27:01):
It's one of, if not the biggestart museum ever.
I think, I want to sayMichelangelo's David.

Speaker 3 (01:27:14):
Michelangelo's David.
So is Jackson Pollock, I guess.
Paintings in the Louvre.

Speaker 4 (01:27:25):
But anyway, I would definitely go there.
Um, I I like I say I nothingagainst the catacombs.
I just feel if I make it toparis, I'm going to be doing
other things besides, uh,looking at bones.

Speaker 3 (01:27:42):
Okay, so you weren't, your interest was nil at that
point.

Speaker 4 (01:27:49):
I mean Not that I'm not interested, but if I'm going
to Paris, so many things, Iwould much rather do than go to
the catacombs.
Okay, I don't know, it's yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:28:12):
And the, the stories that we did tell you know, the
the doorman, the legends of thewalls, talking apparitions and
things like that.
Um, what does that rank on yourcreepers?
I'm scared scale well the like.

Speaker 4 (01:28:29):
The story of the doorman thing wasn't really a
paranormal thing or haunted oranything like that.

Speaker 3 (01:28:36):
It was just someone who got, went down there, his
light went out and he couldn'tfind his way out, so it wasn't
really a scary well, and thennow, supposedly after this this
I covered it a little bit, Ithought, but now he supposedly
his apparition asked people howto get out, like during tours

(01:28:58):
and things like that.
So, um, that's supposedly thething.
And then obviously, like I said, apparitions and hair tugging
and whispers and whatever else,like on your cripers I'm scared
meter.
Where's that?
I mean, where does that go?
Or even compare it to otherstories that we've heard on the

(01:29:20):
show I mean?

Speaker 4 (01:29:22):
mean I will say one thing that does differentiate
this from other haunted placeswe've talked about is here you
can actually see the skeletonsand the remains A lot of places
we're talking about.
It's a haunted house.
You might feel something orhear something, but it's not

(01:29:43):
like you're going to see theremains of whoever it was.
They're buried in a cemeterysomewhere else, but at the
catacombs you can obviously seeall the bones everywhere.
So there is that.
Yeah, okay.
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:30:02):
Well, I mean, so there is that, yeah, okay.
Well, I mean, are you happywith the paris catacombs story?

Speaker 4 (01:30:09):
for now that we're I'm happy with the story.
I'm very disappointed with thetrip because we did not get to
go to anywhere I wanted to.
We left italy way too soon and,um, you were complaining the
whole flight over there.
So I am not taking another tripwith you for quite some time.

Speaker 3 (01:30:31):
So all right.
So if we were in paris, wherewould you want to go?
Where would be the for?
I mean, I'm sorry, not, Iapologize we've already been to
paris.
We did everything you didn'twant to do so when we were in
Italy, okay, we go to Italy.
What would be one thing youwould most definitely want to do
?
Not eat.
I'm saying like touristy, seesomething.

Speaker 4 (01:30:54):
Well then you already took it away, because that's
honestly like I'd find somelittle small mom and pop shop
that has, you know, bread orpasta or whatever, and, you know
, have some authentic Italianfood.
I love Italian food.

Speaker 5 (01:31:12):
And there it's wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:31:13):
It's probably going to be the best.

Speaker 5 (01:31:15):
DW, You've got your favorite food to go, but you had
to eat it while seeing one ofthe sites there.
Where would you eat your foodgo?
But you had to eat it whileseeing one of the sights there.
Where would you eat your food?

Speaker 4 (01:31:25):
Oh, okay, so I'm eating my.
I see what you're saying, okay.

Speaker 5 (01:31:30):
You gotta know how to handle him.

Speaker 3 (01:31:34):
He's the Doves Whisperer.
Did you read a?
What was it?
Did you read a parenting book,gosh?

Speaker 5 (01:31:41):
He's not Sheldon.
Did you read a parenting book?
Oh my gosh, he's not Sheldon.

Speaker 3 (01:31:48):
How did the episode make you feel DW?
How did it make you feel so?

Speaker 5 (01:31:54):
Where would you eat?

Speaker 4 (01:31:56):
Where would I eat?
I would want to see the LeaningTower of Pisa.
Okay, it's pizza.

Speaker 5 (01:32:03):
Yeah, yeah, the Colosseum.

Speaker 4 (01:32:07):
Probably the Colosseum, and I don't know,
Like I've just wanted to, youknow, go to Italy for the food
mostly, okay so you wouldn'twant to hang out at the Capuchin
catacombs?

Speaker 3 (01:32:31):
Probably not.
No, you wouldn't want to findout what's in the Vatican's
basement.

Speaker 5 (01:32:34):
Oh no, it's nothing, can you even?
Go in the Vatican?

Speaker 3 (01:32:40):
No, you can't go in there, no.
I mean you could try, that'swhat they were going to do for,
uh, national treasure three orwhatever, oh yeah, and then they
didn't do it.

Speaker 5 (01:32:51):
So, um, I think they they were afraid of offending I
mean I don't know.
I'm catholic and I wouldn'twant to see what's down there.

Speaker 3 (01:33:02):
I don't know, I'm Catholic and I wouldn't want to
see what's down there.
You heard it here, folksthere's probably nothing good.
The Doomsday Book probably,anyway.
So none of that stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:33:15):
The capuchin you don't want to go to the capuchin
.
The thing is I'd probably takemy food to go to take it to the
next place we're going to eat.
So like let's.

Speaker 5 (01:33:25):
I told you he was food motivated.

Speaker 4 (01:33:28):
I am and gosh I would .
The sad thing is I would comeback fatter than when I got
there.
So well.
Good for you.
It's your vacation.

they don't know what you'rereferencing right now obviously
it's the simpsons.

Speaker 3 (01:44:13):
Uh, both dw and the queen consort are big fans of
the simpsons, as am I, but Itend to go towards Family Guy
more because it's more offensive.

Speaker 4 (01:44:30):
The thing is, she showed me a website where you
can generate memes from anyepisode of the Simpsons and that
just blew my mind where you cangenerate memes from any episode
of the Simpsons.
And that just blew my mindBecause the thing is so much of
life has happened in a Simpsonsepisode already.

Speaker 3 (01:44:58):
So there's probably an episode you can reference to
illustrate your point Duringyour day on team, all right, so
two more, and one obviously isgoing to be the big one, okay,
okay, all right.
This one's obviously stillsimpsons related, but bart or
millhouse?

Speaker 5 (01:45:15):
millhouse obviously.

Speaker 3 (01:45:20):
Why do you not like?
Are you saying you don't likebart?

Speaker 4 (01:45:23):
I just, I like bart, but I like millhouse better the
underdog but I'm all millhousewhy am I holding a bowl, bart?

Speaker 3 (01:45:34):
why am I holding a bowl?
Okay, um, and here's thebiggest one ever.
Okay, my lovely queen consort,would you marry me on a white
sandy beach or a very denseforest with a beautiful mountain

(01:46:01):
peak in the background?
Beach, yeah, she likes thewater.
See and notice.
She didn't say no when I saidwould you marry me?
Notice that.

Speaker 5 (01:46:15):
That wasn't one of the two options.

Speaker 4 (01:46:17):
Had she known that she would have given a different
answer.
Yeah, I get it, marry you inthe forest, or Timothy McVeigh.

Speaker 3 (01:46:29):
