Speaker 1 (00:00):
So when you drive like I do every morning to
work at four o'clock in the morning, you're gonna see
some weird stuff, right, you know what I mean? There's
just people. If you're out and about at four in
the morning, nothing good is going on. No chances are
you're not unfortunately, maybe you're homeless, or maybe you got
you know whatever. It's weird, okay, especially over in my
(00:24):
neck of the woods and alcohol, boy, I've seen some
wild stuff up time.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Yeah, Like we all see wild stuff once or twice.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
I've seen someone jogging and even you're.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
In jogging gear, and even at that, I still.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Think they're up to someone. I think that's psychotics, Like
you're jogging to deliver drugs.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
With your like headlamp light. And I'm like, I'm like,
you're choosing to jog at four am like a woman
by yourself.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
I don't know. I told you guys this. My sister
was in track back in high school and her cross
country teat her track teacher, missus Quinn. Remember that I
was because it was this ready. I was eleven or twelve.
She was jogging before school, not at four am, probably
like six am, and a homeless guy grabbed her and
stabbed her like fifty times at the Screwdriver builder. Okay,
(01:12):
so that's why you gotta be careful.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
The story suddenly has gone well you asked.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Me how.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Okay, Okay, it was like this was like over twenty
years ago.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
I mean, it's still still very mor biziness.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I was just.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Really has nothing to do with my story to kids.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
And if she's jogging, kids, that's like six am is
a normal time to jog.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
That's not even am.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
I just want to stop talking about it, said screwdriver.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Anyway, So you see some wild things in the morning
that early, Well, I had something happen and I'm like
almost afraid to tell it because I don't want to
sound like a psychopath because it was it was so
creepy and so bizarre that I don't even want.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
To tell it, but I have to.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
So this actually didn't happen in my neck of the woods, guys,
it happened down the street.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Would you do this?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
We're done, yep, we're so.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
I'm driving.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I get off the fifteen and I get Ralph up
right there on Arrow Drive, and then I'm passed through
the first light and then the second light, the one
where if you turn left, you can go down where
the Vaughns and the Walmart.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Is over there.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
So I'm at that light and it's it's green, so
obviously I'm blazing right through there. Okay, Well I see there,
you know, a kind of dark figure that is walking
in the middle of the street, and I go, oh crap. Okay, well,
I got to kind of slow down because I mean this,
this person is walking in the middle of the street.
(02:54):
My light's green, so this person's gonna get hit, you know.
So I'm in all the way in the left hand
lane and this person is now all walking all the
way to the middle part of the lane, so they're
somewhat close, and if they just decide they're gonna start
booking it, I'm gonna hit them right. And now I'm like, okay,
(03:15):
this is making me uncomfortable, and so I start to
kind of slow down to be a little defensive just
in case. So as I start to slow down, they
stop right in the middle and I can get like
a look at what I'm dealing with here. And as
I see this person, I realize it is a female
(03:37):
with a completely like shaved Britney Spears style head, and
we make eye contact, and she does one of the
more bizarre things I've ever seen.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
In my life.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
No, no, no, she decides to do this move where
we make eye contact. She sees me, she smiles, puts
her hands in the air, clasps her hands, and then
does kind of like a chop motion. So I have
no idea what's going on at this point. So she
(04:14):
she sees me, smiles, goes like this, and I'm like,
what the Oh my god, Not the creepy part, not
the people, very odd, very odd, but guys, where we live,
I'm used to crazy behavior. I'm used to you know,
(04:36):
people who are unhoused. You know, these things happen. It's
crazy person, Okay, Like like like, I'm we have a
police station right around the corner. I'm probably gonna call
the cops and say, hey, there's a person running around
the Miller Street. They're gonna die. Like, you know, I'm
kind of concerned. And so I immediately as soon as
(04:58):
I get through the intersection, I immediately look in my
rear view mirror. She's gone, there's nobody there. This is
the part I don't want to talk about because it's
going to make me sound crazy. I look in the
mirror behind me. There's nobody in the street. They're gone.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Like, honestly, how much time has gone past since you
drove past?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Even a second and you looked in the mirror?
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Not even a second?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Like like I get through the intersection, and that's when
you learn around.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Gone, nowhere to be seen. Explain a screwdriver.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Okay, can we not go back to that.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Your story is still worse.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Okay, your story is still worse.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Oh yeah, it was very crazy. Yeah, I mean maybe
you just missed her and maybe she went.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
You could.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Huge.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
It's massive and it's open. Think it's a ghost.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
I mean, what are we doing there? It's probably just
some psychopath? You know? How did she leave that quick?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Like invisibility?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
She was standing still giving me the karate chop? Yeah,
and then I turn around and there's nobody there.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Does she have anything with her or is it just her? No?
No cards, no nothing, nothing.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
What do you think she's gonna hop in a shopping
cart and write it down?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I don't know why it makes a difference to me,
like because I feel like a ghost would not have
a shopping cart, and I feel like, like, you know,
like a real life homeless, crazy person would have a
shopping cart. So the fact that she's doing her chop
in the middle of the intersection with no cart leans
to the ghost theory.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
In my mind.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
When she did the chop, did that that's her move
to disappear.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Oh, that's the magic move shop And.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Then she goes, I'm speechless.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
I don't know what. I don't know how to explain.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Now you're show up in the studio in the corner
right now.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Oh listen, I'm gonna check the bet of my truck
because I'm freaking out.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Oh my god, she out.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I can't, but I wish we like could get like
camera footage or some I'm.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Telling you, man, Robert, Emily's man, Robert walks her to
the car every day because she's afraid of somebody jumping
out of her. Will he now have to drive with
you to work and then drive home. That'd be nice.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
I tell you what.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I absolutely you in the buildings going screwdriver. Yeah, I
might start carrying one around.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I'll never look at that intersection the same.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I'll tell you that right now.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Very odd, very odd. I listen, I'm not saying anything.
I don't I didn't like it.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I don't like this.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
I just thought it was odd, but it is so odd.
It is what it is. Yes, there you go,
So when you drive like I do every morning to
work at four o'clock in the morning, you're gonna see
some weird stuff, right, you know what I mean? There's
