Speaker 1 (00:00):
FAsMA phobia, fear of ghosts, oh or supernatural. And by
the way, it's not like you only have it at
Halloween time right where probably just well now it's very
amped up. It is very very amped up.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
And so they say that it is people who have
hold on I pulled this out here Halloween or I
can never say ita dia daia whatever.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Mortos Yeah, say again the day of the day las mortos.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Yeah, but I can't. It doesn't sound right when I
say it. It sounds very like I'm faking it. Well
you are, well, yeah, I don't speak Spanish. Da delos moyertoes.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
That it was so good until you cut to the
last word.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
It's a bigger word. That's the problem. It's a bigger word.
Were toes were toes anyway? Anyway. Obviously that ramps it
up because it's present everywhere. But they said it's a
persistent fear cued by the anticipation or presence of objects
symbolic of ghosts or supernatural phenomena. Now, I can't think
(01:08):
of what would be like a supernatural phenomena. Would it
just be like you think that there's a ghost in the.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
House summoning somebody on a Ouiji board.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Seans seans, what about just fortune telling?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Uh yeah, maybe, yeah, maybe. I guess that kind of
tiptoes into that world.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
So are these people hear about this time yesterday caller
saying Halloween's too scary, and they say.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
It's gotten No, it's year round for me.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yes, oh yeah no, And they do say that for people.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Who are FAsMA FAsMA phobic, that it is. It's worse now,
but they deal with it all year. They deal with it.
I don't know how many times you're seeing ghosts all year,
but I think that's where it kind of ventures into
the supernatural.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Is you're telling me you don't have to see ghosts.
It's just a thought, yes, correct, correct.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Well that it's not a good phobia.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah, but how many times you have thoughts and ghosts?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Not much?
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (02:14):
You you you may, You just don't realize it because
you're not terrified of those thoughts.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Kristen, Will you do me a favor?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Will you see if you can find me somebody who's
fat I can't say the word fasmophobic. Please, somebody who
has a fear of ghosts, spirits, apparitions, fear of the supernatural.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
So remember in your old house you had Arthur.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yes, that would yeah, no, that would send somebody to
the Looney But you can't.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I'm sorry the looney.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Oh I thought you said Finn, which reminded me of
Kristen's favorite shop.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah? Uh no, But yes, if you thought.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Your house Papa was going to say, ben.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
No, if you thought your house was haunted and you
were fasmophobic, yeah, yeah, it would send you.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
It would send you to the funny House.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
You couldn't live there.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
No, that's what I need. You'd have to leave. You
couldn't be there.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Your story's freaked out people who didn't have this phobia.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
You know. And I still I've never gone back to
ask the people who live.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
There now they ever had any weird yea.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah, well obviously I knew the people that we sold
it to. Ye after he got fired, he sold the house.
But I don't know if any of the new people
in there now have it weird.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
If Arthur traveled with you to your new.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Home, yeah, that would have been horrible.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Isn't that the one thing you're promised about ghosts that
they never leave, they never travels, right?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
But yeah, Christensen, you can find me somebody whom they
themselves are are fearful of ghosts or the supernatural, or
somebody in their family, spouse, whatever, eight six six to
Elliott eight six two three five five four six eight Great.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
The idea that ghosts don't travel is a misconception.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Oh, so they do travel.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
I guess some ghosts may have unfinished business or be
attached to a location, but it's certainly not a catch
all for all bodies.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I'll tell you this. Arthur did not travel. Arthur did
not go from Falls Church to Arlington.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Did you under that though?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
No, because I was just under the assumption. It stays.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
What if Arthur showed up in a box? Hello, here
I am with the kitchen stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, no, it never. Never, never. I was never fearful
of that. And nothing has happened.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I mean, we've lived in Arlington House forever, so nothing
has happened that made me think, Oh, I guess who
hitched a ride?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Am I going to line one? Hi Elliot in the morning, Hi,
good morning earlier, Hi, Happy Halloween.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
Happy Halloween. As somebody who suffers from I also struggle
saying it fantasma phobia. Halloween is my favorite holiday. I
love scary movies. Things of that sort. But the difference
is I can't watch scary movies that are like like
(05:18):
I don't I haven't seen The Conjuring. I haven't seen
you know, paranormal activity things like I prefer the people
killing people.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Right, so you can take yeah, you could take like
a slasher flick, but not a supernatural flick one hundred.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Like if I don't even wear Oigi board things, my
heart's racing right now just thinking about it. If you
pull out a wigi board, I will start screaming, like
it's not funny at all.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Question.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, when you said you won't wear a wigi board thing,
I don't what does that mean?
Speaker 7 (05:54):
Like you know, you can have like a necklace or
like earrings or things like that, Like if it has
to do with the Oiji board, I don't want anything
to do with that. I've also never seen that movie Wichi.
It is I like, like Tyler was saying, I do
think about it a lot, do you realize? And I do?
(06:19):
I do? And it's I hate to say that. It
also comes with like the thought of like the rapture
and the thought of like you know, biblic biblically accurate
angels and all that type of stuff like that you.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Are you are deep in the hole, you are a
fortune teller.
Speaker 7 (06:39):
I don't watch medium shows like yeah terrified.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Wait, So like I understand, I obviously I know.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
What a ouiji board is, but like, will you avoid
things like the Italian maloic and stuff like what is
the eye is the Greek?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, that's right? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
So is the eye is the eye? That's is that Greek?
So will you avoid all things like that as well?
Speaker 7 (07:15):
I mean, I guess I'm not even sure what any
of that is.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
It would be elliot, where are you on? Like like
friendly ghosts like Casper?
Speaker 7 (07:28):
There's no such thing. I believe that energy cannot be
created nor destroyed. I understand that, so you know, the
body may be gone, decomposed, whatever, We're still creative of
matter and energy. So like the fact that I know
that does not give me any comfort, It actually makes its.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Can I ask you a question?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I hope this comes out right because I'm not trying
to offend, but I'm hearing I'm hearing an accent.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Where are you from? What's your background?
Speaker 7 (07:59):
Every where? I grew up right outside of Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Okay, I'm not I'm not Cherry Hill, New Jersey that
I'm hearing.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
Well, I moved up to New York for a little
bit and I live in I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Everywhere you know, is your family like like like Hispanic
South American. No, no, no, no, no, that's perfect, that's perfect.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
No, because isn't.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
There like it's some some is heritages the real word cultures,
that's a better word there where the fear of the
supernatural and stuff is a little bit is is a
little bit higher and more elevated. And in a lot
of Hispanic cultures that is the case.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
Yeah, I would say so because as Puerto Ricans, like
I grew up in a Spanish Pentecostal church. We went
like six days a week.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
We were very.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
Involved, and we don't celebrate viel so like it's not
something that like was ever seen in a positive light
for me, right and now anything that has to do
with anything supernatural, just the fact that I do believe
(09:14):
it is so possible. Yeah, it terrifies me.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Like for example, Mike, my nephew who lived my sister's son,
who lives in New York. His girlfriend, like very serious girlfriend,
she's Puerto Rican and like her whole family is like
like they don't, they don't play.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Now they don't he's white?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Or are you talking about the supernatural?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Supernatural?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Do they think he's a ghost and he is pale?
Speaker 8 (09:40):
He is?
Speaker 9 (09:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
I didn't even celebrate Halloween growing up. We weren't allowed
to celebrate or like even acknowledge the existence of Halloween.
So of course now obviously it's my favorite holiday.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
How how can you love Halloween but be so be
so scared of like the supernatural and ghosts.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
Because I get to dress up and be super cute
and go get free candy and now I have kids
and then go get candy. Like yeah, it's a ten
out of ten holidays for sure. And like I said,
I love flashes. The bloodier, the more gory, the better.
Like I love things that are scary, but don't ever
try to summon nothing in front of me. I will
(10:23):
call the police.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Right, how are the gypsies?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
You know what I almost want to do with you?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
She's not gonna do it. The I almost ever And
Tyler and I were on the Ouiji board.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Oh yeah, and you guys moved it around, not the No,
you know what I almost want to do with you?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
What was your name again? What was your name again?
Speaker 7 (10:46):
I'm Stephanie.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Oh yeah, Stephanie.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I almost want to have you come to the studio
and break out a Wuiji board in front of you,
just to say.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
Yeah, the cops.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
No, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
It's almost like remember remember the person who was afraid
of clowns and they took him to see mister Giggles, Yeah,
and that person flipped out.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I almost want to do that.
Speaker 9 (11:10):
Here we go, rady and honest, Hi, everybody on miss
How is everybody today? I'm just gonna sit down right
here and I think we're all.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
I'll start.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I almost Stephanie, Stephanie, mm hmmm, would you would you
come listen?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I'll have I'll have Diane put a.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Sheet over her like she's a ghost, and we'll break
out a weed gie board and we'll see what happens.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
I'm gonna be honest. When you said that, I immediately felt
like I was gonna throw up. There's no doubt, Like
my heart is inside of my throat.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Let's try it. Let's try it.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
What's the worst that happens, Well, you throw up, or
you pass out.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
Or we actually summon something that follows you forever.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Stopsman I was gonna say, did that get brought up
minutes ago?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Now?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
But I will say, I will say, I will say.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
It says the phobia pasmaphobia, as with other types, are
among the most treatable mental health conditions, and they could
be solved in a relatively short amount of time. I'm
telling you all you need is to put your hands
on the Luigi Heart with Tyler Diane Kant. She's dressed
as a ghost, and I think that that would cure you.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
Yeah, hairline, Okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Think it over. Hold on, what let me send you
a shirt. Let me send you a shirt. I need
advertising at the loony bin.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Suret sure, sure.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
All right e I TM sheets, all right, hold.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
On, have a great Halloween boom.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
All right, one second, I just get under one of our.
Speaker 10 (13:12):
Flags, wouldn't we would say chip the muskers are chipping
to the cradle.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
That means, get the hell out of here.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Oh I want Stephanie in here in the worst way,
in the worst way.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Now I'm reading more about the phobia, and it says
that the fear of being alone, which is autophobia, not
to be confused with auto plano planophobia, the one from yesterday,
which is fear of the car wash.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Oh right, right, or auto autoerotic.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Yes, autophobia may actually play into developing fasmophobia.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I would buy that, yeah, because I mean, think about it.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
If you are, if you're if you're at home alone
or you're by yourself, like you're you're not like you
were never you were you were never afraid of anything
when you were having Go back to when you were
a kid, if you were having a sleepover and there
were like seven, eight nine of you, you were fine,
you know what I mean, Like there was there was
safety in numbers, there was comfort in numbers. But you're
(14:17):
alone by yourself in the house as a kid for
the first time, you start getting scared. So I get
that where it would where one could kind of fold
into the other.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
But it seems like with a caller Stephanie, Yes, she's
got it fixed. That a lot of it is the
idea of the supernatural, and she mentioned summoning and the
beast and the number of the beasts, that kind of thing.
Apparently just the idea that you maybe surveiled, that something
(14:50):
maybe watching you, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Like a ghost or like rockwell great song that is, Yeah,
that would flip you out.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
The ghost connection sure, so it's not It's not really
like the underworld.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Or oh see, I was thinking of it as like
like all of a sudden, you heard something in the house,
or you heard something that went bump. The other thing
I would love to do is like, at about three
o'clock tomorrow morning, show up at Stephanie's house and start
stomping on the roof.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
She said, she doesn't mess with.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I want. I want to watch her like hyperventilate and
a vomit.
Speaker 11 (15:27):
Rady and Honestie, Hi, everybody on where am I going?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Line five?
Speaker 6 (15:40):

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Who's this?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (15:45):
This is the one from Fredericksburg. My house has a
little friendly ghost. Lady. She don't know what she's talking
about when it comes to ghosts.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Now, why do you think you have a friendly ghost?
Are you being serious?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Or you set me up for a bit?
Speaker 6 (15:58):
No, I'm going to being serious. See things get moved
around the house. We've actually had money that was sitting
on a stand change. It was the same amount of money,
but it changed. It went from hundreds to twenties and
tens and.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
What dude, Yeah, dude, dude, that's awesome.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Diane do that to her mom, didn't you. I hate
to say that, true, I don't want her. I don't
want her to hot meat. You did you steal money
from your mom?
Speaker 6 (16:29):
Well?
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yeah, because when she would she used to keep it
in this stein in the in the china cabinet because
she would hide when she would win big at bingo.
She would hide how much money she had right from
my dad. Right, so I could always go in there.
And that was like like her thing, like she was like, look,
trying to be like a mafia don When I'd be
going back to college, she'd be like, oh, come here, Camarre,
I got you, and she'd pull out this wad of
(16:50):
cash like a drug dealer.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Right, but you would take twenties and put ones in there,
just so the wad wouldn't get thin.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
I didn't do that.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
That's the Jewish man's bank roll. Hey, so you have
so so the money has changed.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
Yeah, there was two hundred dollars sitting on a stand
for like a week. I forgot about it. My wife's
went over there and said, hey, is that money still there?
And I said yeah, and she went over and she goes,
I put two one hundred dollars bills over there, and
it was all twenties and tens and there was nobody
in our house. We just me and my wife, nobody.
There was nobody in the house. Neither one of us
(17:26):
did that. So I don't love story.

I love stories like that.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
We've had a mayonnaise jar come out of a shelf
and there's no way and I I I debunked that
thing that it just fell out of the cupboard.

FAsMA phobia, fear of ghosts, oh or supernatural. And by
the way, it's not like you only have it at
Halloween time right where probably just well now it's very
amped up. It is very very amped up.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
And so they say that it is people who have
hold on I pulled this out here Halloween or I
can never say ita dia daia whatever.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Mortos Yeah, say again the day of the day las mortos.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Yeah, but I can't. It doesn't sound right when I
say it. It sounds very like I'm faking it. Well
you are, well, yeah, I don't speak Spanish. Da delos moyertoes.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
That it was so good until you cut to the
last word.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
It's a bigger word. That's the problem. It's a bigger word.
Were toes were toes anyway? Anyway. Obviously that ramps it
up because it's present everywhere. But they said it's a
persistent fear cued by the anticipation or presence of objects
symbolic of ghosts or supernatural phenomena. Now, I can't think
(01:08):
of what would be like a supernatural phenomena. Would it
just be like you think that there's a ghost in the.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
House summoning somebody on a Ouiji board.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Seans seans, what about just fortune telling?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Uh yeah, maybe, yeah, maybe. I guess that kind of
tiptoes into that world.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
So are these people hear about this time yesterday caller
saying Halloween's too scary, and they say.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
It's gotten No, it's year round for me.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yes, oh yeah no, And they do say that for people.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Who are FAsMA FAsMA phobic, that it is. It's worse now,
but they deal with it all year. They deal with it.
I don't know how many times you're seeing ghosts all year,
but I think that's where it kind of ventures into
the supernatural.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Is you're telling me you don't have to see ghosts.
It's just a thought, yes, correct, correct.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Well that it's not a good phobia.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah, but how many times you have thoughts and ghosts?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Not much?
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (02:14):
You you you may, You just don't realize it because
you're not terrified of those thoughts.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Kristen, Will you do me a favor?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Will you see if you can find me somebody who's
fat I can't say the word fasmophobic. Please, somebody who
has a fear of ghosts, spirits, apparitions, fear of the supernatural.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
So remember in your old house you had Arthur.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yes, that would yeah, no, that would send somebody to
the Looney But you can't.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I'm sorry the looney.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Oh I thought you said Finn, which reminded me of
Kristen's favorite shop.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah? Uh no, But yes, if you thought.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Your house Papa was going to say, ben.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
No, if you thought your house was haunted and you
were fasmophobic, yeah, yeah, it would send you.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
It would send you to the funny House.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
You couldn't live there.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
No, that's what I need. You'd have to leave. You
couldn't be there.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Your story's freaked out people who didn't have this phobia.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
You know. And I still I've never gone back to
ask the people who live.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
There now they ever had any weird yea.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah, well obviously I knew the people that we sold
it to. Ye after he got fired, he sold the house.
But I don't know if any of the new people
in there now have it weird.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
If Arthur traveled with you to your new.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Home, yeah, that would have been horrible.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Isn't that the one thing you're promised about ghosts that
they never leave, they never travels, right?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
But yeah, Christensen, you can find me somebody whom they
themselves are are fearful of ghosts or the supernatural, or
somebody in their family, spouse, whatever, eight six six to
Elliott eight six two three five five four six eight Great.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
The idea that ghosts don't travel is a misconception.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Oh, so they do travel.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
I guess some ghosts may have unfinished business or be
attached to a location, but it's certainly not a catch
all for all bodies.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I'll tell you this. Arthur did not travel. Arthur did
not go from Falls Church to Arlington.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Did you under that though?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
No, because I was just under the assumption. It stays.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
What if Arthur showed up in a box? Hello, here
I am with the kitchen stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, no, it never. Never, never. I was never fearful
of that. And nothing has happened.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I mean, we've lived in Arlington House forever, so nothing
has happened that made me think, Oh, I guess who
hitched a ride?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Am I going to line one? Hi Elliot in the morning, Hi,
good morning earlier, Hi, Happy Halloween.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
Happy Halloween. As somebody who suffers from I also struggle
saying it fantasma phobia. Halloween is my favorite holiday. I
love scary movies. Things of that sort. But the difference
is I can't watch scary movies that are like like
(05:18):
I don't I haven't seen The Conjuring. I haven't seen
you know, paranormal activity things like I prefer the people
killing people.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Right, so you can take yeah, you could take like
a slasher flick, but not a supernatural flick one hundred.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Like if I don't even wear Oigi board things, my
heart's racing right now just thinking about it. If you
pull out a wigi board, I will start screaming, like
it's not funny at all.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Question.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, when you said you won't wear a wigi board thing,
I don't what does that mean?
Speaker 7 (05:54):
Like you know, you can have like a necklace or
like earrings or things like that, Like if it has
to do with the Oiji board, I don't want anything
to do with that. I've also never seen that movie Wichi.
It is I like, like Tyler was saying, I do
think about it a lot, do you realize? And I do?
(06:19):
I do? And it's I hate to say that. It
also comes with like the thought of like the rapture
and the thought of like you know, biblic biblically accurate
angels and all that type of stuff like that you.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Are you are deep in the hole, you are a
fortune teller.
Speaker 7 (06:39):
I don't watch medium shows like yeah terrified.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Wait, So like I understand, I obviously I know.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
What a ouiji board is, but like, will you avoid
things like the Italian maloic and stuff like what is
the eye is the Greek?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, that's right? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
So is the eye is the eye? That's is that Greek?
So will you avoid all things like that as well?
Speaker 7 (07:15):
I mean, I guess I'm not even sure what any
of that is.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
It would be elliot, where are you on? Like like
friendly ghosts like Casper?
Speaker 7 (07:28):
There's no such thing. I believe that energy cannot be
created nor destroyed. I understand that, so you know, the
body may be gone, decomposed, whatever, We're still creative of
matter and energy. So like the fact that I know
that does not give me any comfort, It actually makes its.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Can I ask you a question?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I hope this comes out right because I'm not trying
to offend, but I'm hearing I'm hearing an accent.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Where are you from? What's your background?
Speaker 7 (07:59):
Every where? I grew up right outside of Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Okay, I'm not I'm not Cherry Hill, New Jersey that
I'm hearing.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
Well, I moved up to New York for a little
bit and I live in I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Everywhere you know, is your family like like like Hispanic
South American. No, no, no, no, no, that's perfect, that's perfect.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
No, because isn't.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
There like it's some some is heritages the real word cultures,
that's a better word there where the fear of the
supernatural and stuff is a little bit is is a
little bit higher and more elevated. And in a lot
of Hispanic cultures that is the case.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
Yeah, I would say so because as Puerto Ricans, like
I grew up in a Spanish Pentecostal church. We went
like six days a week.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
We were very.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
Involved, and we don't celebrate viel so like it's not
something that like was ever seen in a positive light
for me, right and now anything that has to do
with anything supernatural, just the fact that I do believe
(09:14):
it is so possible. Yeah, it terrifies me.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Like for example, Mike, my nephew who lived my sister's son,
who lives in New York. His girlfriend, like very serious girlfriend,
she's Puerto Rican and like her whole family is like
like they don't, they don't play.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Now they don't he's white?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Or are you talking about the supernatural?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Supernatural?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Do they think he's a ghost and he is pale?
Speaker 8 (09:40):
He is?
Speaker 9 (09:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
I didn't even celebrate Halloween growing up. We weren't allowed
to celebrate or like even acknowledge the existence of Halloween.
So of course now obviously it's my favorite holiday.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
How how can you love Halloween but be so be
so scared of like the supernatural and ghosts.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
Because I get to dress up and be super cute
and go get free candy and now I have kids
and then go get candy. Like yeah, it's a ten
out of ten holidays for sure. And like I said,
I love flashes. The bloodier, the more gory, the better.
Like I love things that are scary, but don't ever
try to summon nothing in front of me. I will
(10:23):
call the police.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Right, how are the gypsies?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
You know what I almost want to do with you?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
She's not gonna do it. The I almost ever And
Tyler and I were on the Ouiji board.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Oh yeah, and you guys moved it around, not the No,
you know what I almost want to do with you?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
What was your name again? What was your name again?
Speaker 7 (10:46):
I'm Stephanie.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Oh yeah, Stephanie.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I almost want to have you come to the studio
and break out a Wuiji board in front of you,
just to say.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
Yeah, the cops.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
No, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
It's almost like remember remember the person who was afraid
of clowns and they took him to see mister Giggles, Yeah,
and that person flipped out.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I almost want to do that.
Speaker 9 (11:10):
Here we go, rady and honest, Hi, everybody on miss
How is everybody today? I'm just gonna sit down right
here and I think we're all.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
I'll start.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I almost Stephanie, Stephanie, mm hmmm, would you would you
come listen?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I'll have I'll have Diane put a.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Sheet over her like she's a ghost, and we'll break
out a weed gie board and we'll see what happens.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
I'm gonna be honest. When you said that, I immediately felt
like I was gonna throw up. There's no doubt, Like
my heart is inside of my throat.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Let's try it. Let's try it.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
What's the worst that happens, Well, you throw up, or
you pass out.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
Or we actually summon something that follows you forever.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Stopsman I was gonna say, did that get brought up
minutes ago?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Now?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
But I will say, I will say, I will say.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
It says the phobia pasmaphobia, as with other types, are
among the most treatable mental health conditions, and they could
be solved in a relatively short amount of time. I'm
telling you all you need is to put your hands
on the Luigi Heart with Tyler Diane Kant. She's dressed
as a ghost, and I think that that would cure you.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
Yeah, hairline, Okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Think it over. Hold on, what let me send you
a shirt. Let me send you a shirt. I need
advertising at the loony bin.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Suret sure, sure.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
All right e I TM sheets, all right, hold.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
On, have a great Halloween boom.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
All right, one second, I just get under one of our.
Speaker 10 (13:12):
Flags, wouldn't we would say chip the muskers are chipping
to the cradle.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
That means, get the hell out of here.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Oh I want Stephanie in here in the worst way,
in the worst way.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Now I'm reading more about the phobia, and it says
that the fear of being alone, which is autophobia, not
to be confused with auto plano planophobia, the one from yesterday,
which is fear of the car wash.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Oh right, right, or auto autoerotic.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Yes, autophobia may actually play into developing fasmophobia.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I would buy that, yeah, because I mean, think about it.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
If you are, if you're if you're at home alone
or you're by yourself, like you're you're not like you
were never you were you were never afraid of anything
when you were having Go back to when you were
a kid, if you were having a sleepover and there
were like seven, eight nine of you, you were fine,
you know what I mean, Like there was there was
safety in numbers, there was comfort in numbers. But you're
(14:17):
alone by yourself in the house as a kid for
the first time, you start getting scared. So I get
that where it would where one could kind of fold
into the other.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
But it seems like with a caller Stephanie, Yes, she's
got it fixed. That a lot of it is the
idea of the supernatural, and she mentioned summoning and the
beast and the number of the beasts, that kind of thing.
Apparently just the idea that you maybe surveiled, that something
(14:50):
maybe watching you, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Like a ghost or like rockwell great song that is, Yeah,
that would flip you out.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
The ghost connection sure, so it's not It's not really
like the underworld.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Or oh see, I was thinking of it as like
like all of a sudden, you heard something in the house,
or you heard something that went bump. The other thing
I would love to do is like, at about three
o'clock tomorrow morning, show up at Stephanie's house and start
stomping on the roof.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
She said, she doesn't mess with.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I want. I want to watch her like hyperventilate and
a vomit.
Speaker 11 (15:27):
Rady and Honestie, Hi, everybody on where am I going?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Line five?
Speaker 6 (15:40):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Elliot in the morning.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
Hi Ellie is my class?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Who's this?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (15:45):
This is the one from Fredericksburg. My house has a
little friendly ghost. Lady. She don't know what she's talking
about when it comes to ghosts.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Now, why do you think you have a friendly ghost?
Are you being serious?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Or you set me up for a bit?
Speaker 6 (15:58):
No, I'm going to being serious. See things get moved
around the house. We've actually had money that was sitting
on a stand change. It was the same amount of money,
but it changed. It went from hundreds to twenties and
tens and.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
What dude, Yeah, dude, dude, that's awesome.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Diane do that to her mom, didn't you. I hate
to say that, true, I don't want her. I don't
want her to hot meat. You did you steal money
from your mom?
Speaker 6 (16:29):
Well?
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yeah, because when she would she used to keep it
in this stein in the in the china cabinet because
she would hide when she would win big at bingo.
She would hide how much money she had right from
my dad. Right, so I could always go in there.
And that was like like her thing, like she was like, look,
trying to be like a mafia don When I'd be
going back to college, she'd be like, oh, come here, Camarre,
I got you, and she'd pull out this wad of
(16:50):
cash like a drug dealer.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Right, but you would take twenties and put ones in there,
just so the wad wouldn't get thin.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
I didn't do that.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
That's the Jewish man's bank roll. Hey, so you have
so so the money has changed.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
Yeah, there was two hundred dollars sitting on a stand
for like a week. I forgot about it. My wife's
went over there and said, hey, is that money still there?
And I said yeah, and she went over and she goes,
I put two one hundred dollars bills over there, and
it was all twenties and tens and there was nobody
in our house. We just me and my wife, nobody.
There was nobody in the house. Neither one of us
(17:26):
did that. So I don't love story.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I love stories like that.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
We've had a mayonnaise jar come out of a shelf
and there's no way and I I I debunked that
thing that it just fell out of the cupboard.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
