Speaker 1 (00:33):
Hey, guys, welcome to episode seven of Wickedly Weird.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I'm Jerry, I'm Amanda.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
So Amanda. We obviously talked a little bit about the
triangle up in your neck of the Woods last week. Yes,
and I'm doing a story this week. I was gonna
do something from the Triangle, but instead I moved out
a little bit. But I'm still in Massachusetts. Yes, so
(01:06):
the story is somewhat your Neck of the Woods. It's
about two and a half hours away from you.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
This incident happened Labor Day weekend, September one, nineteen sixty nine,
and there was about forty people in Berkshire County. How
do you pronounce it up there? Is it Berkshire or Berkshire?
Because I know different places the Berkshires.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I call the Berkshire is so like I'm sure, yeah,
if you're saying correctly, I don't know Berkshire's Berkshire is.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Well, it's like in England, it would be Berkshire Berkshire,
and I would probably call it Berkshire just seeing it,
but I'm not from that area.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, you should see the crazy signs on you're on
that Massachusetts highway.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I also say Louisville when everybody else is Louisville. So
it's you know, it's all about where you're at at
that time, Loueville, So so Berkshire County. That's what it's
going to be today. Forty people reported seeing a UFO,
but even more important Thomas Reid. He said that his
(02:17):
entire family was abducted.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Okay, I've never heard this one.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
There's actually a really good episode. Have you watched any
of the new reboot of Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I've only watched season one.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
On season three, I think it is. There is actually
a whole episode dedicated to this. It's really good. Okay,
So something to be able to check out once you've
heard the story.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Okay, okay, all.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Right, So, as you can imagine, the area was in
a panic with so many people seeing what they believed
to be UFOM. This captured people from not just the
area but all over. I said captured. I guess captivated
would have.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Been the word aptivated. They were captivated.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
It only captured. It only captured the family.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
They captured the family. But it's capturing the hearts of
Americans everywhere here we go.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Right, But this captivated people from all over the entire country,
So what exactly was being reported that night? Well, strange
lights descended on the town of Sheffield. Most who saw
the lights said it was attached to a UFO, so
(03:41):
it wouldn't just random floating lights or stars or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It was it was a singular light. Is it a
singular light? No, it was.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
It was a bunch. It was a bunch of lights.
According to witnesses, the UFO was disc shaped and it
performed acrobatic maneuvers in the sky above the Birch, which
is in case people aren't from the area, the Birchers
are kind of a rural region in the mountain western Massachusetts.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah. I've been through there. Yeah, it's very nice. I
went back to my hut after I looked at all
the beautiful homes. So nice out there.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
It sounds like a place that would be expensive. That
sounds like the Hampton's, the.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Burs the Hampton's, the Burches, and you've got Deluxe Bury,
which is multimillion dollar homes.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So it's unclear how long this incident actually lasted, especially
because many of the witnesses described losing track of time.
This seemingly brief UFO encounter was powerful enough to leave
a sense of mass confusion and it's wake, though school
(04:52):
kids were actually drawing ufosing class, while adults called into
the local radio to explain what they had seen. Now,
David Icy, I think it's his name. I s why I.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
See the way you say it sounds nice.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
This is true. It could be issy though he was
the general manager of w SBS Radio. He said that
they had listeners calling the radio station all night talking
about what they had seen. Now, at the time, they
didn't know what was a UFO. They just called the
station to basically say, hey, there's something really bizarre happening
(05:38):
in our area. Many who saw the we're going to
say the aircraft or strangely lit craft. I guess we
should say since there was lights attached to it, they
were shot. Nobody seemed to know exactly what they were
looking at, but they did know that it didn't move
(05:59):
like a plane or a helicopter. The incident is widely
known as the nineteen sixty nine Berkshire UFO or in
some cases, the Berkshire UFO incident incident. Some of the
forty people who witnessed the UFO were children and they're
still alive and still live in the area today.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Let's get them on the show.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Let's do it. Yeah, put you in charge. I'll put
you in charge of the research. So if we can
find them, one of these one of these kids who
still lives there was the son of the town police chief.
There were so many witnesses coming forward that the Barrington
Historical Society recognizes the encounter as the first off world
(06:48):
UFO case in US history. But the question is, Amanda, Yeah,
was this an actual UFO?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
They have satellites back then.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
We'll sure they did.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Maybe it was a satellite on rogue. Maybe the people
from the creatures from the Bridgewater Triangle said eh, not
today and let's go scale the rich people.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
So is that area in the Bridgewater Triangle? I mean
it's not, is it? Yeah? It's yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I'm shaking my head. No, like they can see no,
no way fire. It was like two three hours away.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Probably well, whether you believe it or not, it was
a remarkable event for the people of Sheffield, especially Thomas Reid.
And I'm going to tell you what happened to him
and his family right after the sponsor break. All right, So,
(07:48):
according to read, he saw the UFO when he was
nine years old. He was in a car with his mother,
his grandmother, and his brother. The family he was coming
home from a restaurant that they owned by the name
of Village on the Green. That's not like a good
place to eat.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
It does sound like a good place to eat.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It's probably on a golf course. Village on the Green.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Oh, I'm sure, Yeah, that's right on the green.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Reid was given his brother a piece of candy, a
fireball piece of candy. Specific. That's the way I like
to be specific.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
We like foreshadowing is something on a.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
It has absolutely nothing to do with it. They noticed
a mass of glowing lights peeking out from behind the
trees on this otherwise empty road.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Wait pause, peeking like over the treetops or like no.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I think you know how when you're going and you've
got trees and you can kind of see glimpse of
stuff through the trees as you pass.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
By, So do you know, would be hilarious if it
literally was peaking around the trees like a cartoon, it.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Would be funny. So the family was amazed at the
lights as they crossed the covered seff Of bridge. The
family described it as a self contained glow. I'm not
exactly sure what that is, but well, it rose up
(09:21):
a little bit and it seemed to follow the dirt road. Now,
Reid says, he's probably sure it didn't follow the road,
but it appeared to do that, like.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
The moon follows you and you're a kid.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, right right now. As they got closer, the light
from this UFO flooded the entire car. They said. It
was almost as like it was daylight, even though it
was in the middle of the night. That's when it happened.
Reid said that an amber glow emerged on both sides
(09:54):
of the road. The next thing he knew, the car
with all of their family members was being transported to
a hanger like area that was bigger than a football field.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Get out of town.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I don't know why this guy would lie to me.
He's never lied to.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Me before or me so, I mean, hey.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Reid said that they encountered something that was definitely not
of this world. There were lights that looked like fluorescent
tubing inside the hangar with multiple lights, and he said
they had a black and white TV at the time,
so he wouldn't aware of colors even possibly being like this.
In anything he'd ever seen until he was in this
(10:40):
hanger type situation. He said, they saw a hallway that
was sort of a circular hallway. It was round it,
but it had a way configuration, almost like it was
there to control traffic. One room had literally a round wall.
He said, it was kind of bowed out. The wall
(11:03):
was bowed out, which made it rounded. And that was
not something you'd have seen architecturally anywhere else in nineteen
sixty nine.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And this is how he describes it.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yes, Hm Reid had no idea where he was, but
he does know that it was very different than what
he has seen today anywhere in fifty four years. So
whatever he saw then, he's seen nothing like it since.
Next thing he knows, they're back in the car, but
(11:37):
now his mother and grandmother have switched seats. Like it's
just like snap of finger. They're back in the car,
but now mother and grandma are different seats. Even more surprising,
there was no more glowing light. It's like all that
just instantly stopped.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
It only lasted. Fred did he say how long it lasts?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Boy, they don't know. He has no idea how long
it lasted. Most people who saw this have no idea
how long it lasted because they all talk about losing time.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Well at the time, Yeah, do they all have a similar.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Story, he's they're the only ones that said they got abducted.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Oh okay, okay, so.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
They get really kind of He says that everything kind
of really got calm. It's like everything went from a
thousand things going on at one time to just boom,
everything's calm. He said. It was like being in the
middle of a hurricane. There was like a barometric change
in the pressure of the car and then just dead silence.
(12:38):
Even he said there was an area there where they
were at to where you couldn't hear anything, no birds,
no animals, nothing, and then all of a sudden, just
like the snap of a finger, there was an eruption
of the sound of crickets and frogs. He said, it
(12:59):
got really loud, and then that was it. It was
all quite confusing, according to him. Now, Reid has actually
been the most vocal out of all the witnesses who
saw this thing. He actually helped to convince the other
witnesses to pull their money together to erect a five
(13:21):
thousand pound concrete monument right by the covered bridge where
his family saw the UFO. After the erection of this monument,
benches and lighting and a bunch of other stuff was
add it to make it a little more attractive.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
This thing was huge, think of how much I mean
I say huge, but like it was probably four or
five feet tall and then three or four feet wide.
But it was four thousand pounds of concrete. It was solid.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Now, although the town of Sheffield initially embraced this whole
Berkshire UFO thing, the novel of the stories kind of
worn off over the years and some of the residents
in recent years just don't even like it. They just
don't want to be associated with it at all. Disagreements
between those who believe the UFO monument marked a significant
(14:16):
event and those who think it actually is more of
a joke on the history of the city. They have
arguments about the monument. The people who don't agree with
it being there think that it's an eyesore, and people
started to get to get aggravated about it being there,
(14:38):
so much so than in twenty nineteen, about four years
after it was erected, the town removed the monument. The
town's attorney claimed that the monument had been erected on
town property, and it should be removed because it should
have never been put there to begin with. Read Though,
(14:58):
he says that the there was no issue with town
officials during the plans to build the monument, But officials
in town say different. They say that none of the
people there that could have made that decision ever agreed
with them putting the monument there on the property.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Where's the monument now? Is it like in his backyard?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I have no idea where it's at. I think they
actually might have. They said they hauled it off, but
they might have busted it up. I don't know. It'd
be hard to just haul something about thousand pounds.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Away, Like could you imagine it was like on his
front lawn like a middle finger. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
They said that the town has bylaws and if they
allowed you to place something on town property like that,
then anybody could just do it. And then where does
it stop?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Which makes sense, like family, It was all right.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
It was determined that the monument was actually placed in
the right of way and it had to be removed
because it was a safety hazard.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I don't know, let it alone, like, oh, it's a statue,
Like give it up.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I've actually seen where it was. It actually shouldn't have
been an issue at all. So there, Yeah, and to
be to add insult to injury, other parties actually withdrew
their support for the monument, and in twenty nineteen, the
town hauled away the monument. Despite all legal drama, the
nineteen sixty nine Bertsuire UFO site actually continues to fascinate
(16:33):
UFO enthas enthusiasts all over the world. And there's like
I said, there's an entire episode on the new but
I say it was, Oh my god, oh mysteries.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Yeah, I'm gonna have to watch it.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yeah, it's actually a really good episode. That's the first
time I actually had heard about it.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yeah, I've never heard of that one. Like, I don't know,
do you believe it?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yeah? If forty people saw it?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yeah, But like the way he describes it, what little
kid would describe something like that.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Well, I don't know about the abduction part of it,
but I do think that something happened there.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
And when people saying that it had this crazy movement,
now nineteen sixty nine, is it out of the realm
of possibility? That could be an experimental aircraft for the
government pro using. No, it very well could have been,
and they're never going to admit to it.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
No, that's uh, that's wicked.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Weird, wickedly weird.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
But yeah, yeah, it's wickedly weird. You know.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Oh yeah, it's wickedly weird.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
So I gave you some homework. Is there any chance
at all that you actually did it?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yeah, listen, have a little thing. I am not that bad, right,
let's talk about it. So I thought, you know, once
you said brukshaars, I guess my brain didn't because we
were going to do the for you to try and
go in blah blah blah, but we.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Triangle.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I'm sorry. Well, did you hear about the Bermuda triangle
and what they think it is? No?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I mean, is it something new?
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Yeah, it's like recently new scientists like have discovered that
it's actually not like a spooky ooh, it's that these
waves that are so humongous coming.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
So it kind of like made me a little sad
to hear that, because I really wanted it to be super.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Just because they say that's what it is doesn't mean
that's what that's all still theory.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Mm hmm, I know, but it just makes it not
fun anymore. All right, let's let's talk about it. Let's
get into it.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
So it's not it's not in the Freetown Woods, but
it's so it's about a hitchhiker and he's on a
stretch of Root forty four.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Root forty four is like a big long auto mile
Route forty four so between So not that you know
any of this, but there's Sea Conk rehobath Line, which
is like those are both like Ditan's probably like twenty
minutes and Rehobe it's probably like twenty five thirty minutes
from where I live. I have driven down this stretch
of road and have not had this experience, but never
(19:13):
say never.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
And those those are towns or cities that you just named.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Off their towns like the Tennessee. So it's a hitchhiking
ghost I know, Trope, Yeah right, but it is. So
it's a redheaded hitchhiker. He walks up and down the.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Road supposedly, and if you pick him up, they'll sit
silently in the back of your car, probably about a
half a mile and he gets out. Some people have
just had that experience where it's really awkward they pick
him up. I don't know why you pick anyone up now,
but they pick him up.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Is this possibly Danny Bonaducci who just wants to get
some attention.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
No, it's not, it's not him, Okay, okay, So anyway,
so yeah, he he's uh so he goes up and down,
and so there's been instances where people have picked him
up and like he like will maniacally laugh in the backseat.
And he doesn't have a name. He's just the redheaded
and hitchhiker. They don't know where he's farm or what happened.
They don't have any evidence of an accident. I mean,
if anyone out there knows, But so they've been instance
(20:14):
where you pick them up and like he'll maniacally laugh
and he'll come through the like stereo of your car,
that sort of thing. There are times when like he
does it so much and it's creepy, they kick him
out of the car and he's been known to float
next to the driver's side window. And it's been going
on for more than forty years. Everyone has had a
(20:34):
similar experience.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
So is it real? I don't know. Am I gonna
find out? I mean, never say never. I ate a
honeycomb so full of surprise.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Surprises and and a b leg.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Oh oh yeah, the bee that flew up my trout
my trousers.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
No do you said when you ate the honeycomb?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
There was like a that a be leg? Oh yeah,
well have a beef at my trousers a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Okay, now I got to hear this story.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Okay, so I'm driving picture it. I'm driving and I'm like,
what the hell. I'm like, I'm driving, but i can
feel something like crawling right, and I'm like, what the hell,
Like what is this?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
But I'm like trying to drive and I want to die,
so I'm like just ignore, just to do it. And
it's crawling, okay, Like there are things happening.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
He is trying to find the bee.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
They're always not He's trying to escape out of my
leg hole. Yeah freak. So it's like get out of here.
So we get out and I like shake my leg
out and out comes this bee nonchalanty at that. He
just I was. I looked at my mother. I'm like,
it's like, looked at me. She's like, did it stingia?
I'm like no, but I was all wigged out because
(21:44):
I've never been stung by a bee ever, like my
whole existence, I've never been stung by any bees but none.
That's kind of incredible, Yeah, because you know why this
is what I say. You look from a window or
you look like pretty far away from bees could maybe
get to I'm all about, you know, all four on
the floor. Like, no, I don't do anything with heights.
(22:06):
I don't go hiking. No, not for me, absolutely not.
I mean like I've had poison ivy once in my
whole life, Like.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Absolutely, I've only had poison once.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
And I've never had poison oak. I've never.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Yeah, I saw, but there was a close call the
other day where I could have been stung. But anyways,
it didn't happen, and it was really scary and I'm driving.
My son's laughing. I think it's hysterical. I'm like, what, Like,
it's not.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
I was freaking. I was so freaked out by the
hole and stone and it was fine, but I get
chewed up by mosquitos like you wouldn't believe I could
just be mind of my own bees wax and see
what I did there.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
And so let me now that we've brought this up,
because I was having this discussion the other day. Sometimes
more than one occasion in my life, I've had a
mosquito bike somewhere intimate. And you're wiener, maybe maybe maybe
(23:05):
about accompanying uh sack?
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Oh, like the ruffles, like the what do you call that? Yeah,
like the little ruffle part, like the bunghorn part, like
the taint, not.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
The taint to the sack. But my point is, how
in the world does a mosquito bite you in a
place that's completely covered up, Because it's like I'm running
around in the woods naked.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Because they crawl in the crevices. Been I've been bitten
like through my jeans. Okay, I had jeans on like
a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I don't think that's possible.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
No, I have the few I have it right on
my knee.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I do right, So maybe it went up through your
pant leg, just like the b that's true.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
That is true. Yes, Yes, that's definitely something that probably
could have happened.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
However, will then take it back that you did not
get bitten through your legs?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
There are some mosquitoes that we call van Diesel around here, Okay,
you know there really bad And I've also never been
bitten by a tick either, Like, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I don't think I've had a tick. I've seen ticks
on dogs and stuff, and I pulled them off, but
and I pulled them off other people. But I don't
think I have to do that.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
You're not supposed to do that. You know, you got
to use tweezers because.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Right, well I didn't say I didn't say that I
didn't use tweezers.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Well, someone that might just get in there.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Well you made an assumption.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Well you look like you might do that. You got nothing.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I've just said I would always use tweezers, and you
pulled it from the hand.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I learned a fun fact. Okay, do you want to
what I learned? When you squeeze them and you shove them,
like when you put like vasoline on them and stuff,
they throw up inside the already like open wound. And
that's how like infections and stuff happened me. Not lime disease,
lime diseases happening, but yeah, supposedly, like if you pull
like you're squeezing on their bellies, they vomit into the
(25:07):
open cut. I was just listening to it. Some dermatologists
was like, don't do these things, and I'm like, oh,
I've done those things to other people.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
But I can remember, like when I was little, my
mom saying something like, you have to burn it apple.
I'm like, that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Burn you with the match.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Yeah, well she's talking about you burn the TICKETSLF like
you burn it. I guess it. Let's go or I
don't know what you're thought. I don't think that's how
it works, though.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I don't think that's definitely not how.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I learned a lot of stuff in my later years
that I was told as a kid that was definitely
not the right way to do this stuff.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
No, No, it's absolutely.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Like peing on athletes feet.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
No, pean on jellyfish things. Is that real?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I don't know if that's real or not. I've that
same thing, but I don't know if that's I don't
know how it could be. How could urine possibly be
a way to fight any kind of infection or helping
any I.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Don't know, but we got homwork the biohazard right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
It's gonna be. I know. You can drink your own
pea if you have to, Like, if you're in a desert.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Or something, there are people that do that just for fun.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
You know, there are people that do that that swear
that if you do it X amount of times a
week that it's good for your health. And that's not
the case. I did a deep dive on that a
while back.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
That's nasty.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Not that I was going to do it, but I
heard it and I was that can't be true.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
You're a gentleman. You don't drink your own pea.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Yeah, but there are people that swear that that's good
for you to drink your own pea too. That's horrible.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Do some bleeding on my strange addiction? That was like
collecting piss and drinking it. Like why I think it
was my strange addiction?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
I think most of I think most of the addictions
on my strange addictions have to be made up because
I don't see how Like one of the guys are
one of the I can't remember if if it was
a guy or girl, but they were eating like the
couch cushions like, and I'm like, I'm like, first of all,
first of all, why do you do that the first time?
(27:12):
Let alone? How do you get addicted to it?
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Like? What part of that sounds good? Let me have
a sofa sandwich, Like you're not what you or the
dude that ate glass. That was one that I'll never
like ever.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
As much as much ship as I've spelt on my couch,
my cushion would probably at least have some flavor to it.
But Yeah, there was one girl. What was that she
was addicted to? I think it was fabuloso. So she
had it was something that was some kind of cleaner
and uh, no, you know what it was. It was
(27:46):
pine sal oh my pin and she had to be
smelling it all the time. So she would carry around
rags that she would spray it on and then sniff it,
or she was constantly she yeah, well she would carry
like a spray bottle and she's walking around the house.
You would just constantly be spraying it in front of
her as she walked. It's like, this stuff is dangerous
to smell like that. It's just look, I got certain
(28:11):
things that I like to smell of, not to that level.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I'm not going to that level. No, that's you're gonna
you know see, And that's what I mean, don't get it.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
There was one there was one guy in there who
eats plastic bags like the like the Walmart bags and
broker bags. He'd go just load up on the bags
and he would eat them, cart and eat them.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Honey, going stop and shop, Gonna get me some brown bad.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I mean, I guess if you're gonna have a habit,
at least that's a cheap one I have.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
But they're like a dollar I think now or something.
I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
I don't know. So this was a fun episode actually
home work. I was surprised, although I did remind you
a couple of days ago, and I don't know, had
I not reminded you that if that would have happened.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Probably not. I've been having a hell of a time.
I've been having a good time. I've been going out
doing fireworks. Will be my best life.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Everybody's still got all your other fingers and stuff in.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Your I don't like fireworks off Yeah no.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
No, oh, that's right. Half that stuff's illegal at your place.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah, you can't do it. I mean, there were people
doing it in my neighborhood and the cat made their
rounds and they all stopped. But someone's got to be
a buzztill you know.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah is what it is?
Speaker 2 (29:27):
It is?
Speaker 1 (29:29):
All right, Well, we appreciate you guys, and we're out
of here.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
We're out of here, and bye.
Hey, guys, welcome to episode seven of Wickedly Weird.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I'm Jerry, I'm Amanda.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
So Amanda. We obviously talked a little bit about the
triangle up in your neck of the Woods last week. Yes,
and I'm doing a story this week. I was gonna
do something from the Triangle, but instead I moved out
a little bit. But I'm still in Massachusetts. Yes, so
(01:06):
the story is somewhat your Neck of the Woods. It's
about two and a half hours away from you.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
This incident happened Labor Day weekend, September one, nineteen sixty nine,
and there was about forty people in Berkshire County. How
do you pronounce it up there? Is it Berkshire or Berkshire?
Because I know different places the Berkshires.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I call the Berkshire is so like I'm sure, yeah,
if you're saying correctly, I don't know Berkshire's Berkshire is.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Well, it's like in England, it would be Berkshire Berkshire,
and I would probably call it Berkshire just seeing it,
but I'm not from that area.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, you should see the crazy signs on you're on
that Massachusetts highway.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I also say Louisville when everybody else is Louisville. So
it's you know, it's all about where you're at at
that time, Loueville, So so Berkshire County. That's what it's
going to be today. Forty people reported seeing a UFO,
but even more important Thomas Reid. He said that his
(02:17):
entire family was abducted.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Okay, I've never heard this one.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
There's actually a really good episode. Have you watched any
of the new reboot of Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I've only watched season one.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
On season three, I think it is. There is actually
a whole episode dedicated to this. It's really good. Okay,
So something to be able to check out once you've
heard the story.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Okay, okay, all.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Right, So, as you can imagine, the area was in
a panic with so many people seeing what they believed
to be UFOM. This captured people from not just the
area but all over. I said captured. I guess captivated
would have.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Been the word aptivated. They were captivated.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
It only captured. It only captured the family.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
They captured the family. But it's capturing the hearts of
Americans everywhere here we go.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Right, But this captivated people from all over the entire country,
So what exactly was being reported that night? Well, strange
lights descended on the town of Sheffield. Most who saw
the lights said it was attached to a UFO, so
(03:41):
it wouldn't just random floating lights or stars or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It was it was a singular light. Is it a
singular light? No, it was.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
It was a bunch. It was a bunch of lights.
According to witnesses, the UFO was disc shaped and it
performed acrobatic maneuvers in the sky above the Birch, which
is in case people aren't from the area, the Birchers
are kind of a rural region in the mountain western Massachusetts.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah. I've been through there. Yeah, it's very nice. I
went back to my hut after I looked at all
the beautiful homes. So nice out there.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
It sounds like a place that would be expensive. That
sounds like the Hampton's, the.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Burs the Hampton's, the Burches, and you've got Deluxe Bury,
which is multimillion dollar homes.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So it's unclear how long this incident actually lasted, especially
because many of the witnesses described losing track of time.
This seemingly brief UFO encounter was powerful enough to leave
a sense of mass confusion and it's wake, though school
(04:52):
kids were actually drawing ufosing class, while adults called into
the local radio to explain what they had seen. Now,
David Icy, I think it's his name. I s why I.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
See the way you say it sounds nice.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
This is true. It could be issy though he was
the general manager of w SBS Radio. He said that
they had listeners calling the radio station all night talking
about what they had seen. Now, at the time, they
didn't know what was a UFO. They just called the
station to basically say, hey, there's something really bizarre happening
(05:38):
in our area. Many who saw the we're going to
say the aircraft or strangely lit craft. I guess we
should say since there was lights attached to it, they
were shot. Nobody seemed to know exactly what they were
looking at, but they did know that it didn't move
(05:59):
like a plane or a helicopter. The incident is widely
known as the nineteen sixty nine Berkshire UFO or in
some cases, the Berkshire UFO incident incident. Some of the
forty people who witnessed the UFO were children and they're
still alive and still live in the area today.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Let's get them on the show.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Let's do it. Yeah, put you in charge. I'll put
you in charge of the research. So if we can
find them, one of these one of these kids who
still lives there was the son of the town police chief.
There were so many witnesses coming forward that the Barrington
Historical Society recognizes the encounter as the first off world
(06:48):
UFO case in US history. But the question is, Amanda, Yeah,
was this an actual UFO?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
They have satellites back then.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
We'll sure they did.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Maybe it was a satellite on rogue. Maybe the people
from the creatures from the Bridgewater Triangle said eh, not
today and let's go scale the rich people.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
So is that area in the Bridgewater Triangle? I mean
it's not, is it? Yeah? It's yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I'm shaking my head. No, like they can see no,
no way fire. It was like two three hours away.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Probably well, whether you believe it or not, it was
a remarkable event for the people of Sheffield, especially Thomas Reid.
And I'm going to tell you what happened to him
and his family right after the sponsor break. All right, So,
(07:48):
according to read, he saw the UFO when he was
nine years old. He was in a car with his mother,
his grandmother, and his brother. The family he was coming
home from a restaurant that they owned by the name
of Village on the Green. That's not like a good
place to eat.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
It does sound like a good place to eat.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It's probably on a golf course. Village on the Green.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Oh, I'm sure, Yeah, that's right on the green.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Reid was given his brother a piece of candy, a
fireball piece of candy. Specific. That's the way I like
to be specific.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
We like foreshadowing is something on a.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
It has absolutely nothing to do with it. They noticed
a mass of glowing lights peeking out from behind the
trees on this otherwise empty road.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Wait pause, peeking like over the treetops or like no.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I think you know how when you're going and you've
got trees and you can kind of see glimpse of
stuff through the trees as you pass.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
By, So do you know, would be hilarious if it
literally was peaking around the trees like a cartoon, it.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Would be funny. So the family was amazed at the
lights as they crossed the covered seff Of bridge. The
family described it as a self contained glow. I'm not
exactly sure what that is, but well, it rose up
(09:21):
a little bit and it seemed to follow the dirt road. Now,
Reid says, he's probably sure it didn't follow the road,
but it appeared to do that, like.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
The moon follows you and you're a kid.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, right right now. As they got closer, the light
from this UFO flooded the entire car. They said. It
was almost as like it was daylight, even though it
was in the middle of the night. That's when it happened.
Reid said that an amber glow emerged on both sides
(09:54):
of the road. The next thing he knew, the car
with all of their family members was being transported to
a hanger like area that was bigger than a football field.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Get out of town.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I don't know why this guy would lie to me.
He's never lied to.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Me before or me so, I mean, hey.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Reid said that they encountered something that was definitely not
of this world. There were lights that looked like fluorescent
tubing inside the hangar with multiple lights, and he said
they had a black and white TV at the time,
so he wouldn't aware of colors even possibly being like this.
In anything he'd ever seen until he was in this
(10:40):
hanger type situation. He said, they saw a hallway that
was sort of a circular hallway. It was round it,
but it had a way configuration, almost like it was
there to control traffic. One room had literally a round wall.
He said, it was kind of bowed out. The wall
(11:03):
was bowed out, which made it rounded. And that was
not something you'd have seen architecturally anywhere else in nineteen
sixty nine.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And this is how he describes it.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yes, Hm Reid had no idea where he was, but
he does know that it was very different than what
he has seen today anywhere in fifty four years. So
whatever he saw then, he's seen nothing like it since.
Next thing he knows, they're back in the car, but
(11:37):
now his mother and grandmother have switched seats. Like it's
just like snap of finger. They're back in the car,
but now mother and grandma are different seats. Even more surprising,
there was no more glowing light. It's like all that
just instantly stopped.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
It only lasted. Fred did he say how long it lasts?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Boy, they don't know. He has no idea how long
it lasted. Most people who saw this have no idea
how long it lasted because they all talk about losing time.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Well at the time, Yeah, do they all have a similar.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Story, he's they're the only ones that said they got abducted.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Oh okay, okay, so.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
They get really kind of He says that everything kind
of really got calm. It's like everything went from a
thousand things going on at one time to just boom,
everything's calm. He said. It was like being in the
middle of a hurricane. There was like a barometric change
in the pressure of the car and then just dead silence.
(12:38):
Even he said there was an area there where they
were at to where you couldn't hear anything, no birds,
no animals, nothing, and then all of a sudden, just
like the snap of a finger, there was an eruption
of the sound of crickets and frogs. He said, it
(12:59):
got really loud, and then that was it. It was
all quite confusing, according to him. Now, Reid has actually
been the most vocal out of all the witnesses who
saw this thing. He actually helped to convince the other
witnesses to pull their money together to erect a five
(13:21):
thousand pound concrete monument right by the covered bridge where
his family saw the UFO. After the erection of this monument,
benches and lighting and a bunch of other stuff was
add it to make it a little more attractive.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
This thing was huge, think of how much I mean
I say huge, but like it was probably four or
five feet tall and then three or four feet wide.
But it was four thousand pounds of concrete. It was solid.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Now, although the town of Sheffield initially embraced this whole
Berkshire UFO thing, the novel of the stories kind of
worn off over the years and some of the residents
in recent years just don't even like it. They just
don't want to be associated with it at all. Disagreements
between those who believe the UFO monument marked a significant
(14:16):
event and those who think it actually is more of
a joke on the history of the city. They have
arguments about the monument. The people who don't agree with
it being there think that it's an eyesore, and people
started to get to get aggravated about it being there,
(14:38):
so much so than in twenty nineteen, about four years
after it was erected, the town removed the monument. The
town's attorney claimed that the monument had been erected on
town property, and it should be removed because it should
have never been put there to begin with. Read Though,
(14:58):
he says that the there was no issue with town
officials during the plans to build the monument, But officials
in town say different. They say that none of the
people there that could have made that decision ever agreed
with them putting the monument there on the property.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Where's the monument now? Is it like in his backyard?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I have no idea where it's at. I think they
actually might have. They said they hauled it off, but
they might have busted it up. I don't know. It'd
be hard to just haul something about thousand pounds.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Away, Like could you imagine it was like on his
front lawn like a middle finger. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
They said that the town has bylaws and if they
allowed you to place something on town property like that,
then anybody could just do it. And then where does
it stop?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Which makes sense, like family, It was all right.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
It was determined that the monument was actually placed in
the right of way and it had to be removed
because it was a safety hazard.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I don't know, let it alone, like, oh, it's a statue,
Like give it up.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I've actually seen where it was. It actually shouldn't have
been an issue at all. So there, Yeah, and to
be to add insult to injury, other parties actually withdrew
their support for the monument, and in twenty nineteen, the
town hauled away the monument. Despite all legal drama, the
nineteen sixty nine Bertsuire UFO site actually continues to fascinate
(16:33):
UFO enthas enthusiasts all over the world. And there's like
I said, there's an entire episode on the new but
I say it was, Oh my god, oh mysteries.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Yeah, I'm gonna have to watch it.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yeah, it's actually a really good episode. That's the first
time I actually had heard about it.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yeah, I've never heard of that one. Like, I don't know,
do you believe it?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yeah? If forty people saw it?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yeah, But like the way he describes it, what little
kid would describe something like that.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Well, I don't know about the abduction part of it,
but I do think that something happened there.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
And when people saying that it had this crazy movement,
now nineteen sixty nine, is it out of the realm
of possibility? That could be an experimental aircraft for the
government pro using. No, it very well could have been,
and they're never going to admit to it.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
No, that's uh, that's wicked.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Weird, wickedly weird.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
But yeah, yeah, it's wickedly weird. You know.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Oh yeah, it's wickedly weird.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
So I gave you some homework. Is there any chance
at all that you actually did it?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yeah, listen, have a little thing. I am not that bad, right,
let's talk about it. So I thought, you know, once
you said brukshaars, I guess my brain didn't because we
were going to do the for you to try and
go in blah blah blah, but we.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Triangle.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I'm sorry. Well, did you hear about the Bermuda triangle
and what they think it is? No?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I mean, is it something new?
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Yeah, it's like recently new scientists like have discovered that
it's actually not like a spooky ooh, it's that these
waves that are so humongous coming.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
So it kind of like made me a little sad
to hear that, because I really wanted it to be super.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Just because they say that's what it is doesn't mean
that's what that's all still theory.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Mm hmm, I know, but it just makes it not
fun anymore. All right, let's let's talk about it. Let's
get into it.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
So it's not it's not in the Freetown Woods, but
it's so it's about a hitchhiker and he's on a
stretch of Root forty four.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Root forty four is like a big long auto mile
Route forty four so between So not that you know
any of this, but there's Sea Conk rehobath Line, which
is like those are both like Ditan's probably like twenty
minutes and Rehobe it's probably like twenty five thirty minutes
from where I live. I have driven down this stretch
of road and have not had this experience, but never
(19:13):
say never.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
And those those are towns or cities that you just named.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Off their towns like the Tennessee. So it's a hitchhiking
ghost I know, Trope, Yeah right, but it is. So
it's a redheaded hitchhiker. He walks up and down the.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Road supposedly, and if you pick him up, they'll sit
silently in the back of your car, probably about a
half a mile and he gets out. Some people have
just had that experience where it's really awkward they pick
him up. I don't know why you pick anyone up now,
but they pick him up.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Is this possibly Danny Bonaducci who just wants to get
some attention.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
No, it's not, it's not him, Okay, okay, So anyway,
so yeah, he he's uh so he goes up and down,
and so there's been instances where people have picked him
up and like he like will maniacally laugh in the backseat.
And he doesn't have a name. He's just the redheaded
and hitchhiker. They don't know where he's farm or what happened.
They don't have any evidence of an accident. I mean,
if anyone out there knows, But so they've been instance
(20:14):
where you pick them up and like he'll maniacally laugh
and he'll come through the like stereo of your car,
that sort of thing. There are times when like he
does it so much and it's creepy, they kick him
out of the car and he's been known to float
next to the driver's side window. And it's been going
on for more than forty years. Everyone has had a
(20:34):
similar experience.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
So is it real? I don't know. Am I gonna
find out? I mean, never say never. I ate a
honeycomb so full of surprise.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Surprises and and a b leg.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Oh oh yeah, the bee that flew up my trout
my trousers.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
No do you said when you ate the honeycomb?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
There was like a that a be leg? Oh yeah,
well have a beef at my trousers a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Okay, now I got to hear this story.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Okay, so I'm driving picture it. I'm driving and I'm like,
what the hell. I'm like, I'm driving, but i can
feel something like crawling right, and I'm like, what the hell,
Like what is this?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
But I'm like trying to drive and I want to die,
so I'm like just ignore, just to do it. And
it's crawling, okay, Like there are things happening.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
He is trying to find the bee.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
They're always not He's trying to escape out of my
leg hole. Yeah freak. So it's like get out of here.
So we get out and I like shake my leg
out and out comes this bee nonchalanty at that. He
just I was. I looked at my mother. I'm like,
it's like, looked at me. She's like, did it stingia?
I'm like no, but I was all wigged out because
(21:44):
I've never been stung by a bee ever, like my
whole existence, I've never been stung by any bees but none.
That's kind of incredible, Yeah, because you know why this
is what I say. You look from a window or
you look like pretty far away from bees could maybe
get to I'm all about, you know, all four on
the floor. Like, no, I don't do anything with heights.
(22:06):
I don't go hiking. No, not for me, absolutely not.
I mean like I've had poison ivy once in my
whole life, Like.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Absolutely, I've only had poison once.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
And I've never had poison oak. I've never.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Yeah, I saw, but there was a close call the
other day where I could have been stung. But anyways,
it didn't happen, and it was really scary and I'm driving.
My son's laughing. I think it's hysterical. I'm like, what, Like,
it's not.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
I was freaking. I was so freaked out by the
hole and stone and it was fine, but I get
chewed up by mosquitos like you wouldn't believe I could
just be mind of my own bees wax and see
what I did there.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
And so let me now that we've brought this up,
because I was having this discussion the other day. Sometimes
more than one occasion in my life, I've had a
mosquito bike somewhere intimate. And you're wiener, maybe maybe maybe
(23:05):
about accompanying uh sack?
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Oh, like the ruffles, like the what do you call that? Yeah,
like the little ruffle part, like the bunghorn part, like
the taint, not.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
The taint to the sack. But my point is, how
in the world does a mosquito bite you in a
place that's completely covered up, Because it's like I'm running
around in the woods naked.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Because they crawl in the crevices. Been I've been bitten
like through my jeans. Okay, I had jeans on like
a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I don't think that's possible.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
No, I have the few I have it right on
my knee.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I do right, So maybe it went up through your
pant leg, just like the b that's true.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
That is true. Yes, Yes, that's definitely something that probably
could have happened.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
However, will then take it back that you did not
get bitten through your legs?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
There are some mosquitoes that we call van Diesel around here, Okay,
you know there really bad And I've also never been
bitten by a tick either, Like, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I don't think I've had a tick. I've seen ticks
on dogs and stuff, and I pulled them off, but
and I pulled them off other people. But I don't
think I have to do that.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
You're not supposed to do that. You know, you got
to use tweezers because.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Right, well I didn't say I didn't say that I
didn't use tweezers.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Well, someone that might just get in there.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Well you made an assumption.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Well you look like you might do that. You got nothing.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I've just said I would always use tweezers, and you
pulled it from the hand.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I learned a fun fact. Okay, do you want to
what I learned? When you squeeze them and you shove them,
like when you put like vasoline on them and stuff,
they throw up inside the already like open wound. And
that's how like infections and stuff happened me. Not lime disease,
lime diseases happening, but yeah, supposedly, like if you pull
like you're squeezing on their bellies, they vomit into the
(25:07):
open cut. I was just listening to it. Some dermatologists
was like, don't do these things, and I'm like, oh,
I've done those things to other people.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
But I can remember, like when I was little, my
mom saying something like, you have to burn it apple.
I'm like, that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Burn you with the match.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Yeah, well she's talking about you burn the TICKETSLF like
you burn it. I guess it. Let's go or I
don't know what you're thought. I don't think that's how
it works, though.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I don't think that's definitely not how.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I learned a lot of stuff in my later years
that I was told as a kid that was definitely
not the right way to do this stuff.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
No, No, it's absolutely.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Like peing on athletes feet.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
No, pean on jellyfish things. Is that real?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I don't know if that's real or not. I've that
same thing, but I don't know if that's I don't
know how it could be. How could urine possibly be
a way to fight any kind of infection or helping
any I.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Don't know, but we got homwork the biohazard right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
It's gonna be. I know. You can drink your own
pea if you have to, Like, if you're in a desert.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Or something, there are people that do that just for fun.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
You know, there are people that do that that swear
that if you do it X amount of times a
week that it's good for your health. And that's not
the case. I did a deep dive on that a
while back.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
That's nasty.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Not that I was going to do it, but I
heard it and I was that can't be true.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
You're a gentleman. You don't drink your own pea.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Yeah, but there are people that swear that that's good
for you to drink your own pea too. That's horrible.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Do some bleeding on my strange addiction? That was like
collecting piss and drinking it. Like why I think it
was my strange addiction?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
I think most of I think most of the addictions
on my strange addictions have to be made up because
I don't see how Like one of the guys are
one of the I can't remember if if it was
a guy or girl, but they were eating like the
couch cushions like, and I'm like, I'm like, first of all,
first of all, why do you do that the first time?
(27:12):
Let alone? How do you get addicted to it?
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Like? What part of that sounds good? Let me have
a sofa sandwich, Like you're not what you or the
dude that ate glass. That was one that I'll never
like ever.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
As much as much ship as I've spelt on my couch,
my cushion would probably at least have some flavor to it.
But Yeah, there was one girl. What was that she
was addicted to? I think it was fabuloso. So she
had it was something that was some kind of cleaner
and uh, no, you know what it was. It was
(27:46):
pine sal oh my pin and she had to be
smelling it all the time. So she would carry around
rags that she would spray it on and then sniff it,
or she was constantly she yeah, well she would carry
like a spray bottle and she's walking around the house.
You would just constantly be spraying it in front of
her as she walked. It's like, this stuff is dangerous
to smell like that. It's just look, I got certain
(28:11):
things that I like to smell of, not to that level.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I'm not going to that level. No, that's you're gonna
you know see, And that's what I mean, don't get it.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
There was one there was one guy in there who
eats plastic bags like the like the Walmart bags and
broker bags. He'd go just load up on the bags
and he would eat them, cart and eat them.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Honey, going stop and shop, Gonna get me some brown bad.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I mean, I guess if you're gonna have a habit,
at least that's a cheap one I have.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
But they're like a dollar I think now or something.
I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
I don't know. So this was a fun episode actually
home work. I was surprised, although I did remind you
a couple of days ago, and I don't know, had
I not reminded you that if that would have happened.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Probably not. I've been having a hell of a time.
I've been having a good time. I've been going out
doing fireworks. Will be my best life.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Everybody's still got all your other fingers and stuff in.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Your I don't like fireworks off Yeah no.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
No, oh, that's right. Half that stuff's illegal at your place.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah, you can't do it. I mean, there were people
doing it in my neighborhood and the cat made their
rounds and they all stopped. But someone's got to be
a buzztill you know.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah is what it is?
Speaker 2 (29:27):
