traits? Intelligent yes, Imaginative yes, witty yes, manipulative Yeah. Well
well, well, oh, Ithink we're gonna say welcome well Tom Well,
(00:43):
Tom well Tom Okay, well batmayhem Yes. Episode three almost feels
like that we've done. I know, I was making their notes. Yeah,
for Jail, I was like,well, we've done more than forty
episodes. Look at us, it'salmost a year. October will be a
(01:04):
year. So we're getting I runtheir anniversary. I hope to celebrate.
Hope, I'm celebrating. Okay,Hannah, how are you doing today on
this first of September? First ofSeptember? Good. I'm a little bit
upset because I didn't end up goingto the Minnesota State Fair. You laughing,
(01:27):
because I've been talking about this alot. No, it's just the
every shop at all surprise. Well, you know what for the fifth year
in a row, I have notbeen taken to the State Fair by my
husband. Be fair. I didn'tgo to the State Fair for the fifth
year in a row. It's alwaysbeen a mutual decision. This year it
wasn't. This year. I hadmedium was on the one day that may
(01:51):
Yeah, And so I was like, why didn't you leave one day of
the week free to go to thestate Fair? So now and I,
yes, I could go tomorrow orSunday, Saturday or Sunday. But I
will not go to the state Fairon a weekday on the weekend. But
you're acting like it's gonna be likethe State Fair is unbearably busy, no
matter what, worse on the weekends, says the person who hasn't been in
(02:16):
years. Yeah, but it's justthe idea of it, Like I would
rather go on a weekday when Ithink it will be less busy. This
is sharing up a lot of emotion. It is a conflict between us.
Uh huh. I think it mightbe good to kind of reset and get
back into it is if we readour daily horrorst yopes, daily horoscopes,
(02:38):
it's our daily tradition. She andI wake up every morning, he puts
a lot of thought into his horoscope, like whatever it says is what will
be. It's kind of the basisof my decision making. Yes, especially
for big decisions like in parient ones. You're right in my daily horse Yep
on horse Yep dot com. Who'sdiffer I learned today from every other horse
(03:04):
yip website they all have a differenthorrors yip. Yeah you thought it was
just like one horoscope. Yes,I thought they were. I know nothing
about horace yips or astrology. Iwould think they'd be similar. They're all
different too. Astrology dot Com hada different one for me today. Wow,
(03:24):
Yeah, well I would I meanfor people that don't know. Shane
does not put any weight into horoscopes. Neither of us have ever read our
daily horoscope. So we're going todo that now. Today you sent me
our horoscope. This ship ship isall about our astrological signs. Our have
had the abilities as our signs dictate. I mean, I've been told that
(03:49):
we are very compatible based on oursigns. We'll find out in a moment.
What is let's be doing with yearsmine? Does your daily horrist year?
Is this real? Yeah? Theengagements in your social calendar are likely
stacking up to the point of absurdity. Make sure you schedule some time for
yourself somewhere in there. Oh mygod, I didn't read this before I
(04:11):
complained that I was not taken tothe State Fair because of appointments. Today,
you're choosy about your companions. Feelfree to say no to people you'd
simply rather not see. When Isaw that this was your horse Jeb for
today, yeah, I my jawdropped a little bit because you hung out
with more friends this week, yes, than ever before, Like you just
(04:33):
had friends in town. Yeah,very social yea, and that adds up
for you especially. Yeah, Iwill start to say, no, I'm
just worried that the choosy you knowwho you're being choosy with might cut me
out of aituation. You know Iwon't cut you out. Don't worry,
(04:54):
all right, but my well,does that inform anything the ear did they
do today? I was already goingto do that, so I feel Oh
yeah, I feel reinforced. Imean, I socialized a lot at this
point. I think I'm done fora couple of weeks. So yeah,
that's great to read, very accurate, right in line with what I was
thinking. Okay, yours. Holdon, I think I need to do
(05:17):
like the stars. Okay, Godif we did add a little light refb
on that, okay, indeed,thank you, Mikayla. Oh Lord,
here's yours. You feel reprimanded becauseof the way you reacted to a situation
that came out differently than you'd hoped. Trust that you acted in the best,
(05:39):
calmest and most understanding way possible.If the person you're dealing with doesn't
understand your actions, then this isprobably more a function of their own baggage
and not yours. And if Iwas gobsmacked about Hannah's first stump, I
was by dreadful dobbsmacked by mine.Could you possibly relate to this my meat
(06:01):
ball sub soup? You feel reprimandedthis more? Now for breakfast, I
had my frozen meat ball sub soup. There's your first bad move. Rich
turned out should be not very good. M Did you read my heart up
(06:23):
shockers a situation that came out differentlythan you'd hoped. It came out differently
than I hope. Yeah, youwere like I wish it was premier,
was reprimand did buy my wife theentire time saying well then why did you
buy it? Did? You reallydidn't? There should be good saying I
don't want to eat the meatballs,and I was like, otherwise, it's
just water. Why did you buythis soup? It was a situation that
(06:46):
turned out different than my head,hope, So you think that you acted
in the best, calmest, mostunderstanding way possible. I added some stuff
to the soup. Did I addeddoodles? It was broth to make her
broth and meat balls, and youadded cheese. So if the person you're
dealing with doesn't understand your actions,which I didn't based on the fact that
(07:10):
I would not have added the ingredientsyou added, then this is probably more
a function of their own baggage.I'm not yours. Do you have a
lot of baggage about added cheese todishes? Don't? Just because you add
cheese to everything it upsets me.I feel heard, I feel seeing the
stars have not all right? Now, should we read about our sign compatibility
(07:34):
we get together? Isn't it firstlike what our signs are? Yeah,
I'm refer me to MLA impatibility.I didn't realizing as were sitting here,
even in the research I did.I cannot tell you what a Gemini is,
which is my sign, and whata strategy carry says. Okay,
(07:58):
so I'm just gonna google, youknow, a quick summary of Gemini,
and then I'll do the same forSagittarius. Here's Gemini. I'm gonna give
you. It says like the symbol. So the symbol is the twins.
You know, it's like two.Your ruling planet is mercury D, your
element is air, and your keywordis communicate. That would just I wonder
(08:28):
if you're going to be like alittle bit more convinced of astrology after I
redo this paragraph. Gemini is thesign associated with communication, logical thought processes,
and the conscious mind. Gemini peopletend to be airy and intellectual,
glib of tongue, and curious aboutlife and other people. They can experience
two sides of things at the sametime and may tend to be flighty interesting.
(08:52):
Do you feel, first of all, I know that the entire industry
of astrology is like based on onall of these predictions and like characteristics being
a placable to end anyone. No, that's that's not true. You can't
say you know that that's the likethe cynical view of it. Yes,
that's how I feel. It's basedon planetary stuff. Yes, in a
(09:16):
loose sense. But the people wouldn'tbe into it if they were always like
re young Horst yips that they didn'tfind a way of applied to their own
life. So you're saying that ina cynical way. You think it's like
that none of it actually means anythingand you can just apply it instead of
saying, oh, maybe there's sometruth to it, and people do relate
(09:37):
to what they read. I havea hard time because that that paragraph described
you very well, Yes I did. Most people would be like, oh,
yes, I am very lave jahal, I am very delib of tongue.
I am very curious. Yeah,let's tears. Let's see if yours
is very accurate. Okay, SoSagittarius, my symbol is the centaur centaur
(09:58):
centaur. Well, there's a sensecentaur is like the guy with the horse
behind and the human body. Yeah, for you is pretty things centre for
you, that's pretty accurate, Shane. My ruling planet is Jupiter. I
love how I know, Like thismeans nothing to me. My element is
fire, And yet you're defending yeta lot. Well, I'm just playing
(10:20):
devil's advocate against you. I don'treally have any strong feelings about astrology.
You're similar is fire, but that'strue for everything, Shane, like,
you always go so hard against anythingthat people believe in, so I just
have to defend it for them.It's fine, okay, fair, Yeah,
my element is fire, which isinteresting. I didn't know that.
You don't know. But does thatmean you're a firied person? No,
(10:43):
I have no idea what it means. And my keyword is idealize. Okay,
you do idealize. I'm going toread my paragraph idea you would have
yawned to the minister here, andI idealize the state fair because I know
I would not have liked it.Okay. Sagittarius is an optimistic sign associated
with expansion, idealism, religion,and philosophy. They are direct and forthright,
(11:07):
good natured, and affirmative in theiroutlook. They tend to speak with
a blunt tongue, which can getthem into trouble at times. Sagittarius display
honesty, humor, and a strongmoral nature. Who the last few sentences
rob and true. I don't knowif the optimism and expansion I'm way more
optimistic than you do you think so, I think so, But I feel
(11:31):
that you're upset more often than me. That's not optimism. I'm much more
like emotional than you. Bad dayshappened. I tried to be optimistic about
them. You just care less aboutthings. I'm like part gem and I
part and a little bit of canceris that one? Yes, cancer is
one of them. I also havethat, and I am you have no
(11:54):
idea what your very No? Imean, I mean it is interesting that
those specific characteristics do you pretty wellapply to both of us? Yes,
you know what I mean. Theydo, so it's impatible as or do
you have more? I'm just lookingHere are some traits of Sagittarius Charming,
(12:16):
adventurous, independent, blunt, impatient, and impulsive, so impulsive. How
do you feel about those, Shane? I'm looking up Gemini traits and then
I'll say what I think about you. Here are your traits? Intelligent yes,
Imaginative yes, witty yes, Manipulativeyeah, Irritable and inconsistent boom am.
(12:43):
Inconsistent Yes, you are inconsistent.News to me, you're inconsistent and
like, I mean that word justdoesn't really mean anything like I could say
you're inconsistent about like any one thingand run the world view. But the
people basically their lives upon as wordsthat are, you know, don't really
mean anything. That's what I'm talkingabout right here. Why do you feel
(13:05):
the need to go so hard againstI don't a thing that doesn't hurt anybody.
I do think this is meat.I like it. I genuinely don't.
What was that first you had?I'm feeling like you're really being inconsistent.
I at this moment in time don'tfeel very compatible with you. So
(13:26):
here's our compatibility. This is firstit's about you, then it's about me,
and then it talks about us together. So for you, a meeting
of the minds is your highest valuein love. I love, I shall
age you so much. For you, a stimulating an interesting debate is the
best aphrodisiac. Well, no,I don't like debateing with you, as
(13:46):
you appreciate intelligence and wit above justabout anything else. That's true. Yeah,
you're right all right, then me. Diversity and adventure, diversity,
diversity, and I'm sure are amust for you and love. You are
enthusiastic and expansive in expressing your affections, but you do best in a relationship
(14:07):
where you can have plenty of spaceto roam free and explore unknown territories.
That's just not true. I'm veryclingy, like I'm not with me.
Yeah, I don't like going placesalone. That's why she's not the fair
right now without me, because you'relike, I have one meeting and I
was like, then I can't go. Oh okay, so here's us together.
(14:33):
When Gemini and Sagittarius come together ina love affair, it can be
a truly spectacular match the stars.These two are extremely compatible. Any rough
spots they encounter during the course ofthe relationship are sure to be smoothed over
with a minimum of effort. Geminiis quite able to provide pioneering, adventurous
Sagittarius with the independence Sagittarius requires anda close relationship because Gemini shares that same
(14:58):
need. Sagittarius needs physical independence,like to go places, it's usual that
you're going to be a physically apartfrom me. Gemini needs mental freedom,
but the need is the same atbase. These two both love new experiences,
people, and sensations and are sureto have great adventures together. Both
have attention spans that love to movequickly from one thing to the next in
(15:20):
order to absorb as much experience aspossible. Gemini and Sagittarius are great friends.
Besides being well matched lovers, theyshare a deep understanding and a very
similar life view based on a generalrefreshing optimism and enthusiasm. Sagittarius can sometimes
be a bit too blunt, sayingthings without thinking beforehand about whether they'll hurt
someone or not. But Gemini isa hearty sort, and like Sagittarius can
(15:41):
forgive and forget quickly. These twodon't have time or the interests required to
hold a grudge. That's I meanthat all. Most of it was very
accurate. Most of it was verystuff. Not like being apart, Yeah,
from one another is esteered by thefact that we work together, I
know, diver together all the time. Like I took a trip without you
(16:02):
and it was fun. I'm sayingnow, I'm saying if we both had
like nine to five, yeah,that we were apart, Yeah I didn't.
We would be fine in those environments. Yeah, yeah, I didn't
need my mental space for me attimes, you know, not very nice.
I feel like that was pretty accurate. I know. I am so
happy I met and fell in lovewith What do you Sagittarius? Yes,
(16:27):
thank you, because if you wouldhave been a capital horn, the almost
would not have worked. Then yourtraits would have probably been injury, feisty,
rude, obnoxious, and dumb.No people that our capricorns are very
(16:48):
offended right now. I don't knowwhat anything about it that would be my
favorite if one of those signs justhad all negative character. But it doesn't.
Well, I feel like I've learnedto feel it too about myself and
you good? Do you feel?I feel fine? Yeah. I think
(17:10):
it's pretty obvious that the stars havesped. Oh my god, we'll be
right back, all right, welcomeback. Now we're going to talk about
a book you're reading or something,Shane Love. Is that very judgmental town?
I'm because I'm just not convinced thatthis is going to be interesting.
(17:33):
I just wrote like book on ournotes, so I don't know what else
to say to lead you into whatyou want to talk about. I would
like to hike the appelation Chail.Oh, okay, is this your make
a wish or something? I wonderedmy maker wish when I was seven years
old. You should have saved itand done something older and remembered it.
I can't even hiking the a keyas we tell it. Oh god.
(17:56):
I have recently begun reading Are Walkedin the Woods by Bill Bryson, who
I've never read anything by him before. Very funny. I liked him a
lot. But it's about his experiencetrying to hide the Appalachian Trail. Nonfiction
Yeah wow, nonfiction right, andabout all the various ways that people die
(18:25):
and get maimed and failed to finishthe hikes. Said, one of the
harder things to do as the humanis the Appalachian Trail. One trail,
yes, one uninterrupted trail from Maineto Georgia. Oh my god, it's
so it's very impressive. And thatthe you don't have to leave the trail
(18:48):
nope, like you can just walkit interesting and the mechanisms that like led
to it being made, or thatthe history of it is very interesting.
Yeah. Anyway, I didn't reallyenjoyed to be about hiking. It's making
me be very very idyllic about likehiking, you would campaign hiking. We
went to a cabin this summer andwe left after one night because there are
(19:11):
too many bugs outside the cabin.The inside was beautiful. That sounds like
an exaggeration. Well you no,it was like you couldn't go outside because
you would breathe in the mosquito clumps. But I'm just saying you would hate
hiking. It's a lot of it. He talks about, like the buzzy
bears, the natural life rather thatcan impede you. Yeah, all hides
(19:34):
of interesting thing animals. And itbrought up in my memory some light wildlife,
not wildlife, some nature stories.These are the closest I have to
be in a hiker of the affiliationshaw or these all in your backyard and
(19:55):
Buffleham No, okay, I've everhad somebod Now were they in the like
on a trail? One? Iwas at a lake side resortkamp resort.
No, not a trail, ina log cabin with my family. The
word resort just doesn't really work.There wasn't. It was called Raised Town
(20:19):
lake like a camp. It mayhave been in Pa I can't remember,
but we went to one year fora family vacation and yeah, they have
camp fam and then they have cabinskaand we were in a cabin. You
would never do that now. Butone day we went for a hike and
I was in a shoulder because wecouldn't get my chair on the like path.
(20:42):
How old were you? Seven?Eight maybe? And we were walking
for a while and we came tothis lake overlook and we were tired,
and my mom began to sit downto take your bree there, and she
was sitting on your herd butt.I she knowd that snakes, Oh my
(21:06):
god. And seven year old mewas Mom, no snake and she like,
I managed to like fall to theside. Yeah, I'm like,
not shit on the snakes, Ohmy god. And yeah it was the
snakes a big gass like I don'tknow why it was, but like a
garter snake. I shaved her life. Oh you say you saved the snake's
(21:29):
life and my mom. I don'tknow if your mom would have died,
but you did save the snake.And I didn't know. It was the
only time I've ever hiked in mylife. Wow. Yeah, there was
a snake at the cabin that weleft. I was really big. It
was like out every time we wouldcome outside, it would be on the
rocks and then it would slither awayand Chloe was so intrigued, didn't you,
(21:49):
like, do you something with yoursnakes when you were a kid.
I've caught lots of snakes. I'ma snake enthusiast as a child. Okay,
I mean I haven't had the opportunityto see them lately. I was
really excited to see the one atthe habit Yeah that every please. I
mean I have a lot, Likethere's a picture of me when I was
(22:10):
like fourteen holding a snake at theat our like swimming pool, like the
public pool where I would practice withmy team, and I'm in my cap
and allgals and I'm holding the snakefor the picture. And I don't even
know like where I got the snakeor why I felt the need to catch
it and get a picture. ButI've done that a lot of times.
My first time catching a snake waswhen I was with my parents on vacation.
(22:33):
I think we were in like wewere on the West coast, Oregon.
I thought, you know, fairHouse. No, my dad it
was either that he was at aconference for work, which I think is
what it was, because he wasn'tlooking for jobs until I was like eight.
And in this story, I waslike three or four. So I
think we were out there for aconference. It might have been near San
(22:55):
Diego, like that's where we wentfor a conference, and then maybe we'd
got a beach house. But itwas like a it was a beach and
uh like there was a small pathfrom the sandy backyard of this house to
the actual beach and it was like, you know, really tall grass that
you would kind of walk through toget to the to the beach. And
when we were walking there, Isaw a garter snake go by. And
(23:19):
in my memory there are multiple snakes, but I don't think I'm not.
I mean in my mind there werea lot, and I was like snakes,
but like it probably was one ortwo. Yeah, the benefit of
the doubt, there were a few. Yeah, yeah there were a few.
I was like, snake heaven,but there were some snakes. It
was just tall beads of grass andso I was mesmerized by this, Like
(23:42):
I was so excited to have seena snake. It was probably the first
one I ever saw in the wild, like not at a zoo. And
my parents were like, we arenot going to sit here outside with you
to like wait for the snakes tocome back like that on the dunes,
like we are not doing this.So they're like, we'll be inside side.
If you want to sit here inour backyard, like right at the
(24:03):
entrance to this trail, like youcan sit here, but you're probably not
going to see the snakes again.So they're inside. I sit outside as
a three year old for four hours, four hours, and your dad tells
this story. It's so funny.Yea in the house. Yeah, just
looking at you, not moving.You were just still for four hours,
(24:25):
four hours. I was like,I will catch a snake. I will
see the snakes again. And finallya snake went by and I picked it
up and I carried it into thehouse and I said, see, got
the snake. And I was sohappy, and they were like, please
take that back outside. That's horrifying. And I brought it outside and I
released it. I had no fearsas a child, like I would catch
bumblebees if they were stuck in thehouse. And I was never ever bitten
(24:51):
or stung by anything I've played with, like pebble bids. Yeah, yeah,
that was about the extent of myinset enjoyment. Oh, I would
play with anything, So I wouldlike to look for salamanders and like creeks
salamanders. Yeah, salamanders are elusive. I remember that story that you just
so brought to my My family wason a beach vacation with my mom's roommate
(25:19):
from college and her family and Iworked out again. I was like,
twelve thirteen, maybe I will haveone morning in the beach house to the
sounds of pandemonium like outside the bedroom. Yeah, I was scared. So
I yelled from my mom and shecame in. Her roommate's son had been
(25:45):
out in a pond next to thehouse and carried a carrile of some behind
into the house, put it down, and then discovered that it was like
very agile and was like running overthe house. I just remember that,
and we were all like, oh, oh my god. Yeah. So,
(26:08):
with like my two generation in mind, do you think I could hate
the apprelation trail? No, Ithink you would hate it, lovey.
Would you even want to go ona little hike here? No? No,
But if you don't even impressive,you don't even like to sit outside
for very long, And I don'tunderstand that, Kent. Yeah, I
(26:30):
do want to like Nate bait beansover a camp fire. I don't like
bait beans, but I think thatwould get old pretty quickly for you.
Image of like you getting bait beansout of a can that has been roasting
over an open flame. It stirsup within me. Yeah, it's kind
of funny because when I was seventeen, uh, when I was sixteen,
(26:53):
that summer I went to camp forthe first time, in an overnight sleepaway
camp and we built fires. Itwas like a competition, and my friend
and I won, like we gotour fire going first. It was really
really exciting for me. I lovedit. Then the next year, yeah,
no, I liked, I likehave a picture of me in front
of the fire. I was reallyinto it. And then so like for
(27:15):
that year I was like, oh, like camping is so cool, Like
I know how to build a fire, blah blah blah. And then the
next year, after I won Envirathonof course, which I talked about stop,
we went to like our prize wasto go to Heffer International Farm,
which yeah, it doesn't matter,we don't need to detail as one does.
(27:38):
So we spent a couple of nightsthere and I like, there's pictures
of me there, and like thatwhole year My ideal aesthetic was like girl
hiking the apple each and frail.Like all my clothes. I had like
headbands that were like head wraps,you know, and I was just like,
I look like an outdoorsy, Likeif I could have worn hiking boots,
(28:00):
I didn't. I didn't own hikingboots. I would have worn hiking
boots everywhere I went because just thatidea was so cool to me. But
now I'm like, mmmmmmm, no, thank you. From when I've read
it is yeah, and even forthe most intense enthusiasts, yeah, not
very fun. Then I would like, it's tough. I wouldn't even want
to spend one night anywhere outside.So I tell you know what just mentioned
(28:23):
on the deal. Have you everlike shot around? I can't fire?
And I had someone tell you Ican't fire. Story, No, but
I've done that like inside actually maybeonce or twice, but like I've done
that in a sleepover, you know, like we'll turn the lights out when
I was a kid and like tella scary story and see who gets the
(28:45):
scariest. Yeah, I've never Thisis embarrassing. No one's ever told me
a scary story. I know.We were just at dinner with a friend,
and she and I started going backand forth with like scary stories,
and we both knew each story theother one was telling from these experiences,
and every story, shame was likewait, why wait why? They probably
(29:06):
always thought I'd be too afraid becauseI'm beshavable. No, because you would
get really scared. You are scared. You got scared about the turtle mouse.
So I'm gonna be brave. We'regonna take a head break. And
then Hannah is young as you readme boy, three scary stories? Three?
Yeah, their shirt? Can youhandle the very very short? You
don't like scary movies? I don'tlike them, but I'm gonna be brave
(29:32):
and try to imagine that I'm inthe middle of Tennessee on the Appalachian Trail,
and I'm sitting around the campfire andthere are animals and spooky things.
If you've been up behind me,scary and you're telling me a scary Okay,
okay, we'll be right bad.We're back and we're ready for story
(30:00):
number one. Is that your speaking? Boys? Yeah, that didn't sound
scary, it didn't. We're back, okay. Story number one, it's
called a Girl and her dog.Oh, it doesn't sound very scary.
I already know this one because I'vebeen to sleepovers and whatnot, smiling.
(30:23):
Maybe boys don't like Is it justa boy thing? Like it your sleepovers?
Did boys not tell stories? No? And it may also very well
be that I don't remember. Yeah, I just sat around plenty of campfire,
is true, you know, ButI just don't feel like anyone's ever
really been like I. I havea scary story for you. So this
is my moment. This is yourmoment, smiling. The girl waved her
(30:47):
parents away. They were heading awayto Norway for holiday. These are details
that I don't remember from what Iwas told. After eating dinner alone at
the table, she decided to watchTV with her dog. He was a
trust golden labrador, well bred andhandsome. This is creepy. They were
inseparable As she switched the television on, it immediately turned to the news.
(31:10):
Apparently a serial killer was loose aroundthe area. This should be where I
call a neighbor, called my parents, call a friend. Oh in the
story. If you were in thestory, Hello, I am an eight
year old child. My parents hadabandoned me, and there was apparently a
serial killer on the loose. No, thank you, I can get me.
(31:33):
No baby child in disess. Okay, okay, they were decided.
They were telling everyone to lock allwindows and doors. She doubted she'd be
targeted, but she did exactly thatto be on the safe side. How
did you doubt you're being interro becausethere's so many houses to pick from.
(31:55):
She then laid in her bed alonein the house, feeling slightly uneasy.
She reached down to her dog andfelt calmer as soon as she felt the
soothing lick and nudge of her furrycompanion. Soon enough, the girl fell
asleep. A dripping sound was comingfrom outside the bedroom and had woken her.
She sighed. Rain often dripped infor a couple of seconds, she
waited for it to stop it.When it didn't, she got confused.
(32:16):
Sweating slightly, She reached down tothe comfort of her dog. Almost immediately
she felt him lick her hand.She closed her eyes to fall asleep again.
Again, she woke up to thesame dripping sound. This was unusual.
As she took her foot out tocheck it out, she felt the
lick of her dog. At peace, once again, she slept. She
frowned the sound was consistently going alittle slower than before. I would like
(32:39):
to say, this is a horriblywritten ever's written? Is that version?
I know? Okay, you're takingme out of the horror. The girl
started to feel panicked, and eventhough she felt another lick this time,
she decided it would be best tocheck it out. Yeah, by the
fourth time, I'm checking out.Why'd she dripping? She stepped out out
(33:00):
of the bed and headed towards thesound. It was coming from the bathroom,
and she started feeling sick, aqueasy feeling coming over her and it
was just daily faw. A ransomsmell filled her noss. She opened the
door, the sight stopped her.She was frozen, unable to move.
Her precious dog had been hung usingthe shower. His scarlet drying blood dripped
(33:23):
into the tub. Beside the shower. She saw writing written in his blood.
She felt her heart stop as sheread the bloody writing. Humans can
lick too, Derrick Derek, Iwas told that as a kid, and
it was so disturbing. I rememberthat story when the dog was disever hanging.
(33:44):
I didn't even think about the lichen. I was like, oh,
was so The dog ran in there. I don't murder. No, the
serial I've been licking her hand allthat right, and the bed looking in
her hands. Why did they haveto kill the dogs? But she's death,
she just I think the afflash waskilled. He's still in the bed.
(34:06):
He's in the bedroom. Yeah,maybe she ran downstairs and gallaway.
Maybe, but it was her preciousdogs. Pretty stooty. Next story,
This is very Both of these arevery short. Do your rost, do
me dirty, give me nightmarish.A group of hikers were wandering through the
(34:28):
woods looking trail, looking for aplace to stay at night, when they
came across a small cabin. Yeahno. They all decide to stay the
night inside, seeing as there wasno one there. Inside, the cabin
is decorated with paintings of what seemedto be members of the family that used
to own the cabin. The hikersspend the night looking at the paintings,
making fun of how wonky they looked. In the morning, one wakes up
(34:52):
to see the cabin full of morninglight and looks around. The paintings are
gone. In their place windows theywere standing outside. They've been looking to
get windows all night, not realizingthey were windows. So like it wasn't
their reflection. They saw people outsideand they were like, that's so,
(35:13):
they're so wonky looking, and theythought those are paint downs. How do
you mistake a window for a painting? To be fair, it does happen
fairly often. The idem into ourbedroom at night and I'm like, oh
my god, when did you getthat painting? Oh, that's right,
it's a windown. I should seeit. And the cabin do out now
(35:37):
if you're a little kid. It'snot kids. It's a group of hikers
and they go inside and the cabinis decorated with paintings of what seemed to
be members of the family, andthey spend the night looking at the paintings
and making fun of how wonky theylooked. But they're just tapping on the
glass. That's that's taking your facevalue. That would be absolutely horrifying.
(35:59):
Yeah, if you did that andthe whole night you're like these down paints
and then there are windows and they'repeah. I'm just trying to imagine,
like, how you would mistake someonestanding outside a window as a painting,
like a life size of them faraway. They were also not bright enough
to not stay in the deserted cabin. You're right in the middle of the
woods. Had it coming. Atleast they woke up. They were fine.
(36:22):
They seemed like Sagittarius to me.Oh my god. Here's the last
story. There was a young girlplaying in her room one day when she
heard her mother's voice calling from thekitchen downstairs. Sweetie, come down here.
You've a cute mom voice. Ohthank you. The little girl jumped
up and ran out the door,where she suddenly ran into her mother at
(36:42):
the top of the stairs. Hermother reached out and quickly covered the girl's
mouth so she couldn't make a sound. Don't go down there. I heard
it too, she said, Wow, those spooky shane. I feel like
you should benefit from the fire,you know. And it's dark, and
whoever's telling it getting jumped out?Yeah you know. Yeah, I don't
(37:06):
know if I was shared. I'mnot shared. It's not a bad time
yet, right, I'm fine.Don't look at the paintings on the wall.
Ah. Well, I feel likeI'm ready to head to a relation.
Okay, And as I'm walking,I will look at the stars above.
Find my dancing twins there not dancing, And remember the mean it's just
(37:32):

Tom well Tom Okay, well batmayhem Yes. Episode three almost feels
like that we've done. I know, I was making their notes. Yeah,
for Jail, I was like,well, we've done more than forty
episodes. Look at us, it'salmost a year. October will be a
(01:04):
year. So we're getting I runtheir anniversary. I hope to celebrate.
Hope, I'm celebrating. Okay,Hannah, how are you doing today on
this first of September? First ofSeptember? Good. I'm a little bit
upset because I didn't end up goingto the Minnesota State Fair. You laughing,
(01:27):
because I've been talking about this alot. No, it's just the
every shop at all surprise. Well, you know what for the fifth year
in a row, I have notbeen taken to the State Fair by my
husband. Be fair. I didn'tgo to the State Fair for the fifth
year in a row. It's alwaysbeen a mutual decision. This year it
wasn't. This year. I hadmedium was on the one day that may
(01:51):
Yeah, And so I was like, why didn't you leave one day of
the week free to go to thestate Fair? So now and I,
yes, I could go tomorrow orSunday, Saturday or Sunday. But I
will not go to the state Fairon a weekday on the weekend. But
you're acting like it's gonna be likethe State Fair is unbearably busy, no
matter what, worse on the weekends, says the person who hasn't been in
(02:16):
years. Yeah, but it's justthe idea of it, Like I would
rather go on a weekday when Ithink it will be less busy. This
is sharing up a lot of emotion. It is a conflict between us.
Uh huh. I think it mightbe good to kind of reset and get
back into it is if we readour daily horrorst yopes, daily horoscopes,
(02:38):
it's our daily tradition. She andI wake up every morning, he puts
a lot of thought into his horoscope, like whatever it says is what will
be. It's kind of the basisof my decision making. Yes, especially
for big decisions like in parient ones. You're right in my daily horse Yep
on horse Yep dot com. Who'sdiffer I learned today from every other horse
(03:04):
yip website they all have a differenthorrors yip. Yeah you thought it was
just like one horoscope. Yes,I thought they were. I know nothing
about horace yips or astrology. Iwould think they'd be similar. They're all
different too. Astrology dot Com hada different one for me today. Wow,
(03:24):
Yeah, well I would I meanfor people that don't know. Shane
does not put any weight into horoscopes. Neither of us have ever read our
daily horoscope. So we're going todo that now. Today you sent me
our horoscope. This ship ship isall about our astrological signs. Our have
had the abilities as our signs dictate. I mean, I've been told that
(03:49):
we are very compatible based on oursigns. We'll find out in a moment.
What is let's be doing with yearsmine? Does your daily horrist year?
Is this real? Yeah? Theengagements in your social calendar are likely
stacking up to the point of absurdity. Make sure you schedule some time for
yourself somewhere in there. Oh mygod, I didn't read this before I
(04:11):
complained that I was not taken tothe State Fair because of appointments. Today,
you're choosy about your companions. Feelfree to say no to people you'd
simply rather not see. When Isaw that this was your horse Jeb for
today, yeah, I my jawdropped a little bit because you hung out
with more friends this week, yes, than ever before, Like you just
(04:33):
had friends in town. Yeah,very social yea, and that adds up
for you especially. Yeah, Iwill start to say, no, I'm
just worried that the choosy you knowwho you're being choosy with might cut me
out of aituation. You know Iwon't cut you out. Don't worry,
(04:54):
all right, but my well,does that inform anything the ear did they
do today? I was already goingto do that, so I feel Oh
yeah, I feel reinforced. Imean, I socialized a lot at this
point. I think I'm done fora couple of weeks. So yeah,
that's great to read, very accurate, right in line with what I was
thinking. Okay, yours. Holdon, I think I need to do
(05:17):
like the stars. Okay, Godif we did add a little light refb
on that, okay, indeed,thank you, Mikayla. Oh Lord,
here's yours. You feel reprimanded becauseof the way you reacted to a situation
that came out differently than you'd hoped. Trust that you acted in the best,
(05:39):
calmest and most understanding way possible.If the person you're dealing with doesn't
understand your actions, then this isprobably more a function of their own baggage
and not yours. And if Iwas gobsmacked about Hannah's first stump, I
was by dreadful dobbsmacked by mine.Could you possibly relate to this my meat
(06:01):
ball sub soup? You feel reprimandedthis more? Now for breakfast, I
had my frozen meat ball sub soup. There's your first bad move. Rich
turned out should be not very good. M Did you read my heart up
(06:23):
shockers a situation that came out differentlythan you'd hoped. It came out differently
than I hope. Yeah, youwere like I wish it was premier,
was reprimand did buy my wife theentire time saying well then why did you
buy it? Did? You reallydidn't? There should be good saying I
don't want to eat the meatballs,and I was like, otherwise, it's
just water. Why did you buythis soup? It was a situation that
(06:46):
turned out different than my head,hope, So you think that you acted
in the best, calmest, mostunderstanding way possible. I added some stuff
to the soup. Did I addeddoodles? It was broth to make her
broth and meat balls, and youadded cheese. So if the person you're
dealing with doesn't understand your actions,which I didn't based on the fact that
(07:10):
I would not have added the ingredientsyou added, then this is probably more
a function of their own baggage.I'm not yours. Do you have a
lot of baggage about added cheese todishes? Don't? Just because you add
cheese to everything it upsets me.I feel heard, I feel seeing the
stars have not all right? Now, should we read about our sign compatibility
(07:34):
we get together? Isn't it firstlike what our signs are? Yeah,
I'm refer me to MLA impatibility.I didn't realizing as were sitting here,
even in the research I did.I cannot tell you what a Gemini is,
which is my sign, and whata strategy carry says. Okay,
(07:58):
so I'm just gonna google, youknow, a quick summary of Gemini,
and then I'll do the same forSagittarius. Here's Gemini. I'm gonna give
you. It says like the symbol. So the symbol is the twins.
You know, it's like two.Your ruling planet is mercury D, your
element is air, and your keywordis communicate. That would just I wonder
(08:28):
if you're going to be like alittle bit more convinced of astrology after I
redo this paragraph. Gemini is thesign associated with communication, logical thought processes,
and the conscious mind. Gemini peopletend to be airy and intellectual,
glib of tongue, and curious aboutlife and other people. They can experience
two sides of things at the sametime and may tend to be flighty interesting.
(08:52):
Do you feel, first of all, I know that the entire industry
of astrology is like based on onall of these predictions and like characteristics being
a placable to end anyone. No, that's that's not true. You can't
say you know that that's the likethe cynical view of it. Yes,
that's how I feel. It's basedon planetary stuff. Yes, in a
(09:16):
loose sense. But the people wouldn'tbe into it if they were always like
re young Horst yips that they didn'tfind a way of applied to their own
life. So you're saying that ina cynical way. You think it's like
that none of it actually means anythingand you can just apply it instead of
saying, oh, maybe there's sometruth to it, and people do relate
(09:37):
to what they read. I havea hard time because that that paragraph described
you very well, Yes I did. Most people would be like, oh,
yes, I am very lave jahal, I am very delib of tongue.
I am very curious. Yeah,let's tears. Let's see if yours
is very accurate. Okay, SoSagittarius, my symbol is the centaur centaur
(09:58):
centaur. Well, there's a sensecentaur is like the guy with the horse
behind and the human body. Yeah, for you is pretty things centre for
you, that's pretty accurate, Shane. My ruling planet is Jupiter. I
love how I know, Like thismeans nothing to me. My element is
fire, And yet you're defending yeta lot. Well, I'm just playing
(10:20):
devil's advocate against you. I don'treally have any strong feelings about astrology.
You're similar is fire, but that'strue for everything, Shane, like,
you always go so hard against anythingthat people believe in, so I just
have to defend it for them.It's fine, okay, fair, Yeah,
my element is fire, which isinteresting. I didn't know that.
You don't know. But does thatmean you're a firied person? No,
(10:43):
I have no idea what it means. And my keyword is idealize. Okay,
you do idealize. I'm going toread my paragraph idea you would have
yawned to the minister here, andI idealize the state fair because I know
I would not have liked it.Okay. Sagittarius is an optimistic sign associated
with expansion, idealism, religion,and philosophy. They are direct and forthright,
(11:07):
good natured, and affirmative in theiroutlook. They tend to speak with
a blunt tongue, which can getthem into trouble at times. Sagittarius display
honesty, humor, and a strongmoral nature. Who the last few sentences
rob and true. I don't knowif the optimism and expansion I'm way more
optimistic than you do you think so, I think so, But I feel
(11:31):
that you're upset more often than me. That's not optimism. I'm much more
like emotional than you. Bad dayshappened. I tried to be optimistic about
them. You just care less aboutthings. I'm like part gem and I
part and a little bit of canceris that one? Yes, cancer is
one of them. I also havethat, and I am you have no
(11:54):
idea what your very No? Imean, I mean it is interesting that
those specific characteristics do you pretty wellapply to both of us? Yes,
you know what I mean. Theydo, so it's impatible as or do
you have more? I'm just lookingHere are some traits of Sagittarius Charming,
(12:16):
adventurous, independent, blunt, impatient, and impulsive, so impulsive. How
do you feel about those, Shane? I'm looking up Gemini traits and then
I'll say what I think about you. Here are your traits? Intelligent yes,
Imaginative yes, witty yes, Manipulativeyeah, Irritable and inconsistent boom am.
(12:43):
Inconsistent Yes, you are inconsistent.News to me, you're inconsistent and
like, I mean that word justdoesn't really mean anything like I could say
you're inconsistent about like any one thingand run the world view. But the
people basically their lives upon as wordsthat are, you know, don't really
mean anything. That's what I'm talkingabout right here. Why do you feel
(13:05):
the need to go so hard againstI don't a thing that doesn't hurt anybody.
I do think this is meat.I like it. I genuinely don't.
What was that first you had?I'm feeling like you're really being inconsistent.
I at this moment in time don'tfeel very compatible with you. So
(13:26):
here's our compatibility. This is firstit's about you, then it's about me,
and then it talks about us together. So for you, a meeting
of the minds is your highest valuein love. I love, I shall
age you so much. For you, a stimulating an interesting debate is the
best aphrodisiac. Well, no,I don't like debateing with you, as
(13:46):
you appreciate intelligence and wit above justabout anything else. That's true. Yeah,
you're right all right, then me. Diversity and adventure, diversity,
diversity, and I'm sure are amust for you and love. You are
enthusiastic and expansive in expressing your affections, but you do best in a relationship
(14:07):
where you can have plenty of spaceto roam free and explore unknown territories.
That's just not true. I'm veryclingy, like I'm not with me.
Yeah, I don't like going placesalone. That's why she's not the fair
right now without me, because you'relike, I have one meeting and I
was like, then I can't go. Oh okay, so here's us together.
(14:33):
When Gemini and Sagittarius come together ina love affair, it can be
a truly spectacular match the stars.These two are extremely compatible. Any rough
spots they encounter during the course ofthe relationship are sure to be smoothed over
with a minimum of effort. Geminiis quite able to provide pioneering, adventurous
Sagittarius with the independence Sagittarius requires anda close relationship because Gemini shares that same
(14:58):
need. Sagittarius needs physical independence,like to go places, it's usual that
you're going to be a physically apartfrom me. Gemini needs mental freedom,
but the need is the same atbase. These two both love new experiences,
people, and sensations and are sureto have great adventures together. Both
have attention spans that love to movequickly from one thing to the next in
(15:20):
order to absorb as much experience aspossible. Gemini and Sagittarius are great friends.
Besides being well matched lovers, theyshare a deep understanding and a very
similar life view based on a generalrefreshing optimism and enthusiasm. Sagittarius can sometimes
be a bit too blunt, sayingthings without thinking beforehand about whether they'll hurt
someone or not. But Gemini isa hearty sort, and like Sagittarius can
(15:41):
forgive and forget quickly. These twodon't have time or the interests required to
hold a grudge. That's I meanthat all. Most of it was very
accurate. Most of it was verystuff. Not like being apart, Yeah,
from one another is esteered by thefact that we work together, I
know, diver together all the time. Like I took a trip without you
(16:02):
and it was fun. I'm sayingnow, I'm saying if we both had
like nine to five, yeah,that we were apart, Yeah I didn't.
We would be fine in those environments. Yeah, yeah, I didn't
need my mental space for me attimes, you know, not very nice.
I feel like that was pretty accurate. I know. I am so
happy I met and fell in lovewith What do you Sagittarius? Yes,
(16:27):
thank you, because if you wouldhave been a capital horn, the almost
would not have worked. Then yourtraits would have probably been injury, feisty,
rude, obnoxious, and dumb.No people that our capricorns are very
(16:48):
offended right now. I don't knowwhat anything about it that would be my
favorite if one of those signs justhad all negative character. But it doesn't.
Well, I feel like I've learnedto feel it too about myself and
you good? Do you feel?I feel fine? Yeah. I think
(17:10):
it's pretty obvious that the stars havesped. Oh my god, we'll be
right back, all right, welcomeback. Now we're going to talk about
a book you're reading or something,Shane Love. Is that very judgmental town?
I'm because I'm just not convinced thatthis is going to be interesting.
(17:33):
I just wrote like book on ournotes, so I don't know what else
to say to lead you into whatyou want to talk about. I would
like to hike the appelation Chail.Oh, okay, is this your make
a wish or something? I wonderedmy maker wish when I was seven years
old. You should have saved itand done something older and remembered it.
I can't even hiking the a keyas we tell it. Oh god.
(17:56):
I have recently begun reading Are Walkedin the Woods by Bill Bryson, who
I've never read anything by him before. Very funny. I liked him a
lot. But it's about his experiencetrying to hide the Appalachian Trail. Nonfiction
Yeah wow, nonfiction right, andabout all the various ways that people die
(18:25):
and get maimed and failed to finishthe hikes. Said, one of the
harder things to do as the humanis the Appalachian Trail. One trail,
yes, one uninterrupted trail from Maineto Georgia. Oh my god, it's
so it's very impressive. And thatthe you don't have to leave the trail
(18:48):
nope, like you can just walkit interesting and the mechanisms that like led
to it being made, or thatthe history of it is very interesting.
Yeah. Anyway, I didn't reallyenjoyed to be about hiking. It's making
me be very very idyllic about likehiking, you would campaign hiking. We
went to a cabin this summer andwe left after one night because there are
(19:11):
too many bugs outside the cabin.The inside was beautiful. That sounds like
an exaggeration. Well you no,it was like you couldn't go outside because
you would breathe in the mosquito clumps. But I'm just saying you would hate
hiking. It's a lot of it. He talks about, like the buzzy
bears, the natural life rather thatcan impede you. Yeah, all hides
(19:34):
of interesting thing animals. And itbrought up in my memory some light wildlife,
not wildlife, some nature stories.These are the closest I have to
be in a hiker of the affiliationshaw or these all in your backyard and
(19:55):
Buffleham No, okay, I've everhad somebod Now were they in the like
on a trail? One? Iwas at a lake side resortkamp resort.
No, not a trail, ina log cabin with my family. The
word resort just doesn't really work.There wasn't. It was called Raised Town
(20:19):
lake like a camp. It mayhave been in Pa I can't remember,
but we went to one year fora family vacation and yeah, they have
camp fam and then they have cabinskaand we were in a cabin. You
would never do that now. Butone day we went for a hike and
I was in a shoulder because wecouldn't get my chair on the like path.
(20:42):
How old were you? Seven?Eight maybe? And we were walking
for a while and we came tothis lake overlook and we were tired,
and my mom began to sit downto take your bree there, and she
was sitting on your herd butt.I she knowd that snakes, Oh my
(21:06):
god. And seven year old mewas Mom, no snake and she like,
I managed to like fall to theside. Yeah, I'm like,
not shit on the snakes, Ohmy god. And yeah it was the
snakes a big gass like I don'tknow why it was, but like a
garter snake. I shaved her life. Oh you say you saved the snake's
(21:29):
life and my mom. I don'tknow if your mom would have died,
but you did save the snake.And I didn't know. It was the
only time I've ever hiked in mylife. Wow. Yeah, there was
a snake at the cabin that weleft. I was really big. It
was like out every time we wouldcome outside, it would be on the
rocks and then it would slither awayand Chloe was so intrigued, didn't you,
(21:49):
like, do you something with yoursnakes when you were a kid.
I've caught lots of snakes. I'ma snake enthusiast as a child. Okay,
I mean I haven't had the opportunityto see them lately. I was
really excited to see the one atthe habit Yeah that every please. I
mean I have a lot, Likethere's a picture of me when I was
(22:10):
like fourteen holding a snake at theat our like swimming pool, like the
public pool where I would practice withmy team, and I'm in my cap
and allgals and I'm holding the snakefor the picture. And I don't even
know like where I got the snakeor why I felt the need to catch
it and get a picture. ButI've done that a lot of times.
My first time catching a snake waswhen I was with my parents on vacation.
(22:33):
I think we were in like wewere on the West coast, Oregon.
I thought, you know, fairHouse. No, my dad it
was either that he was at aconference for work, which I think is
what it was, because he wasn'tlooking for jobs until I was like eight.
And in this story, I waslike three or four. So I
think we were out there for aconference. It might have been near San
(22:55):
Diego, like that's where we wentfor a conference, and then maybe we'd
got a beach house. But itwas like a it was a beach and
uh like there was a small pathfrom the sandy backyard of this house to
the actual beach and it was like, you know, really tall grass that
you would kind of walk through toget to the to the beach. And
when we were walking there, Isaw a garter snake go by. And
(23:19):
in my memory there are multiple snakes, but I don't think I'm not.
I mean in my mind there werea lot, and I was like snakes,
but like it probably was one ortwo. Yeah, the benefit of
the doubt, there were a few. Yeah, yeah there were a few.
I was like, snake heaven,but there were some snakes. It
was just tall beads of grass andso I was mesmerized by this, Like
(23:42):
I was so excited to have seena snake. It was probably the first
one I ever saw in the wild, like not at a zoo. And
my parents were like, we arenot going to sit here outside with you
to like wait for the snakes tocome back like that on the dunes,
like we are not doing this.So they're like, we'll be inside side.
If you want to sit here inour backyard, like right at the
(24:03):
entrance to this trail, like youcan sit here, but you're probably not
going to see the snakes again.So they're inside. I sit outside as
a three year old for four hours, four hours, and your dad tells
this story. It's so funny.Yea in the house. Yeah, just
looking at you, not moving.You were just still for four hours,
(24:25):
four hours. I was like,I will catch a snake. I will
see the snakes again. And finallya snake went by and I picked it
up and I carried it into thehouse and I said, see, got
the snake. And I was sohappy, and they were like, please
take that back outside. That's horrifying. And I brought it outside and I
released it. I had no fearsas a child, like I would catch
bumblebees if they were stuck in thehouse. And I was never ever bitten
(24:51):
or stung by anything I've played with, like pebble bids. Yeah, yeah,
that was about the extent of myinset enjoyment. Oh, I would
play with anything, So I wouldlike to look for salamanders and like creeks
salamanders. Yeah, salamanders are elusive. I remember that story that you just
so brought to my My family wason a beach vacation with my mom's roommate
(25:19):
from college and her family and Iworked out again. I was like,
twelve thirteen, maybe I will haveone morning in the beach house to the
sounds of pandemonium like outside the bedroom. Yeah, I was scared. So
I yelled from my mom and shecame in. Her roommate's son had been
(25:45):
out in a pond next to thehouse and carried a carrile of some behind
into the house, put it down, and then discovered that it was like
very agile and was like running overthe house. I just remember that,
and we were all like, oh, oh my god. Yeah. So,
(26:08):
with like my two generation in mind, do you think I could hate
the apprelation trail? No, Ithink you would hate it, lovey.
Would you even want to go ona little hike here? No? No,
But if you don't even impressive,you don't even like to sit outside
for very long, And I don'tunderstand that, Kent. Yeah, I
(26:30):
do want to like Nate bait beansover a camp fire. I don't like
bait beans, but I think thatwould get old pretty quickly for you.
Image of like you getting bait beansout of a can that has been roasting
over an open flame. It stirsup within me. Yeah, it's kind
of funny because when I was seventeen, uh, when I was sixteen,
(26:53):
that summer I went to camp forthe first time, in an overnight sleepaway
camp and we built fires. Itwas like a competition, and my friend
and I won, like we gotour fire going first. It was really
really exciting for me. I lovedit. Then the next year, yeah,
no, I liked, I likehave a picture of me in front
of the fire. I was reallyinto it. And then so like for
(27:15):
that year I was like, oh, like camping is so cool, Like
I know how to build a fire, blah blah blah. And then the
next year, after I won Envirathonof course, which I talked about stop,
we went to like our prize wasto go to Heffer International Farm,
which yeah, it doesn't matter,we don't need to detail as one does.
(27:38):
So we spent a couple of nightsthere and I like, there's pictures
of me there, and like thatwhole year My ideal aesthetic was like girl
hiking the apple each and frail.Like all my clothes. I had like
headbands that were like head wraps,you know, and I was just like,
I look like an outdoorsy, Likeif I could have worn hiking boots,
(28:00):
I didn't. I didn't own hikingboots. I would have worn hiking
boots everywhere I went because just thatidea was so cool to me. But
now I'm like, mmmmmmm, no, thank you. From when I've read
it is yeah, and even forthe most intense enthusiasts, yeah, not
very fun. Then I would like, it's tough. I wouldn't even want
to spend one night anywhere outside.So I tell you know what just mentioned
(28:23):
on the deal. Have you everlike shot around? I can't fire?
And I had someone tell you Ican't fire. Story, No, but
I've done that like inside actually maybeonce or twice, but like I've done
that in a sleepover, you know, like we'll turn the lights out when
I was a kid and like tella scary story and see who gets the
(28:45):
scariest. Yeah, I've never Thisis embarrassing. No one's ever told me
a scary story. I know.We were just at dinner with a friend,
and she and I started going backand forth with like scary stories,
and we both knew each story theother one was telling from these experiences,
and every story, shame was likewait, why wait why? They probably
(29:06):
always thought I'd be too afraid becauseI'm beshavable. No, because you would
get really scared. You are scared. You got scared about the turtle mouse.
So I'm gonna be brave. We'regonna take a head break. And
then Hannah is young as you readme boy, three scary stories? Three?
Yeah, their shirt? Can youhandle the very very short? You
don't like scary movies? I don'tlike them, but I'm gonna be brave
(29:32):
and try to imagine that I'm inthe middle of Tennessee on the Appalachian Trail,
and I'm sitting around the campfire andthere are animals and spooky things.
If you've been up behind me,scary and you're telling me a scary Okay,
okay, we'll be right bad.We're back and we're ready for story
(30:00):
number one. Is that your speaking? Boys? Yeah, that didn't sound
scary, it didn't. We're back, okay. Story number one, it's
called a Girl and her dog.Oh, it doesn't sound very scary.
I already know this one because I'vebeen to sleepovers and whatnot, smiling.
(30:23):
Maybe boys don't like Is it justa boy thing? Like it your sleepovers?
Did boys not tell stories? No? And it may also very well
be that I don't remember. Yeah, I just sat around plenty of campfire,
is true, you know, ButI just don't feel like anyone's ever
really been like I. I havea scary story for you. So this
is my moment. This is yourmoment, smiling. The girl waved her
(30:47):
parents away. They were heading awayto Norway for holiday. These are details
that I don't remember from what Iwas told. After eating dinner alone at
the table, she decided to watchTV with her dog. He was a
trust golden labrador, well bred andhandsome. This is creepy. They were
inseparable As she switched the television on, it immediately turned to the news.
(31:10):
Apparently a serial killer was loose aroundthe area. This should be where I
call a neighbor, called my parents, call a friend. Oh in the
story. If you were in thestory, Hello, I am an eight
year old child. My parents hadabandoned me, and there was apparently a
serial killer on the loose. No, thank you, I can get me.
(31:33):
No baby child in disess. Okay, okay, they were decided.
They were telling everyone to lock allwindows and doors. She doubted she'd be
targeted, but she did exactly thatto be on the safe side. How
did you doubt you're being interro becausethere's so many houses to pick from.
(31:55):
She then laid in her bed alonein the house, feeling slightly uneasy.
She reached down to her dog andfelt calmer as soon as she felt the
soothing lick and nudge of her furrycompanion. Soon enough, the girl fell
asleep. A dripping sound was comingfrom outside the bedroom and had woken her.
She sighed. Rain often dripped infor a couple of seconds, she
waited for it to stop it.When it didn't, she got confused.
(32:16):
Sweating slightly, She reached down tothe comfort of her dog. Almost immediately
she felt him lick her hand.She closed her eyes to fall asleep again.
Again, she woke up to thesame dripping sound. This was unusual.
As she took her foot out tocheck it out, she felt the
lick of her dog. At peace, once again, she slept. She
frowned the sound was consistently going alittle slower than before. I would like
(32:39):
to say, this is a horriblywritten ever's written? Is that version?
I know? Okay, you're takingme out of the horror. The girl
started to feel panicked, and eventhough she felt another lick this time,
she decided it would be best tocheck it out. Yeah, by the
fourth time, I'm checking out.Why'd she dripping? She stepped out out
(33:00):
of the bed and headed towards thesound. It was coming from the bathroom,
and she started feeling sick, aqueasy feeling coming over her and it
was just daily faw. A ransomsmell filled her noss. She opened the
door, the sight stopped her.She was frozen, unable to move.
Her precious dog had been hung usingthe shower. His scarlet drying blood dripped
(33:23):
into the tub. Beside the shower. She saw writing written in his blood.
She felt her heart stop as sheread the bloody writing. Humans can
lick too, Derrick Derek, Iwas told that as a kid, and
it was so disturbing. I rememberthat story when the dog was disever hanging.
(33:44):
I didn't even think about the lichen. I was like, oh,
was so The dog ran in there. I don't murder. No, the
serial I've been licking her hand allthat right, and the bed looking in
her hands. Why did they haveto kill the dogs? But she's death,
she just I think the afflash waskilled. He's still in the bed.
(34:06):
He's in the bedroom. Yeah,maybe she ran downstairs and gallaway.
Maybe, but it was her preciousdogs. Pretty stooty. Next story,
This is very Both of these arevery short. Do your rost, do
me dirty, give me nightmarish.A group of hikers were wandering through the
(34:28):
woods looking trail, looking for aplace to stay at night, when they
came across a small cabin. Yeahno. They all decide to stay the
night inside, seeing as there wasno one there. Inside, the cabin
is decorated with paintings of what seemedto be members of the family that used
to own the cabin. The hikersspend the night looking at the paintings,
making fun of how wonky they looked. In the morning, one wakes up
(34:52):
to see the cabin full of morninglight and looks around. The paintings are
gone. In their place windows theywere standing outside. They've been looking to
get windows all night, not realizingthey were windows. So like it wasn't
their reflection. They saw people outsideand they were like, that's so,
(35:13):
they're so wonky looking, and theythought those are paint downs. How do
you mistake a window for a painting? To be fair, it does happen
fairly often. The idem into ourbedroom at night and I'm like, oh
my god, when did you getthat painting? Oh, that's right,
it's a windown. I should seeit. And the cabin do out now
(35:37):
if you're a little kid. It'snot kids. It's a group of hikers
and they go inside and the cabinis decorated with paintings of what seemed to
be members of the family, andthey spend the night looking at the paintings
and making fun of how wonky theylooked. But they're just tapping on the
glass. That's that's taking your facevalue. That would be absolutely horrifying.
(35:59):
Yeah, if you did that andthe whole night you're like these down paints
and then there are windows and they'repeah. I'm just trying to imagine,
like, how you would mistake someonestanding outside a window as a painting,
like a life size of them faraway. They were also not bright enough
to not stay in the deserted cabin. You're right in the middle of the
woods. Had it coming. Atleast they woke up. They were fine.
(36:22):
They seemed like Sagittarius to me.Oh my god. Here's the last
story. There was a young girlplaying in her room one day when she
heard her mother's voice calling from thekitchen downstairs. Sweetie, come down here.
You've a cute mom voice. Ohthank you. The little girl jumped
up and ran out the door,where she suddenly ran into her mother at
(36:42):
the top of the stairs. Hermother reached out and quickly covered the girl's
mouth so she couldn't make a sound. Don't go down there. I heard
it too, she said, Wow, those spooky shane. I feel like
you should benefit from the fire,you know. And it's dark, and
whoever's telling it getting jumped out?Yeah you know. Yeah, I don't
(37:06):
know if I was shared. I'mnot shared. It's not a bad time
yet, right, I'm fine.Don't look at the paintings on the wall.
Ah. Well, I feel likeI'm ready to head to a relation.
Okay, And as I'm walking,I will look at the stars above.
Find my dancing twins there not dancing, And remember the mean it's just
(37:32):
twins. The meaning of my life, which is being really smart. Okay,
that's what you read the maze.Communicate, communication, communicate, be
riddy and smart yep is what Iheard. Yeah, and I'm be adventurous
and try to stay away from myhusband. Do you say as much as
that upset people? Great? Great? All right, all right, well

hope you enjoyed it. If youdid, please like comment, give us
a five star review. All ofthat stuff. And it's a junkyard out
