Speaker 3: Help Me Create Life in a Bottle Genesis Experiment twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five. This is It's something I've attempted a couple
Speaker 3: of times before, but this time it's going to be different.
Speaker 1: I'll fill you in shortly. This is kind of my
Speaker 1: own miniature version of being doctor Frankenstein, And if it
Speaker 1: ever succeeds, this experiment would be profound. If you actually
Speaker 1: have met me and hung out with me in person,
Speaker 1: there's a good chance that at some point we shared
Speaker 1: a cocktail. I was born in Asheville, North Carolina, which
Speaker 1: is full of so many micro breweries it often is
Speaker 1: called beer city. And so I had no no shortage
Speaker 1: of that growing up, not to mention, you know, all
Speaker 1: the moonshining that was happening in them there hills. And
Speaker 1: then when I became, you know, a much much older fella,
Speaker 1: I moved to Puerto Rico for a while, which is
Speaker 1: the rum capital of the world. So I had my
Speaker 1: share of of Well I was gonna say rum and cokes,
Speaker 1: but take your pick. I mean I I had such
Speaker 1: a wide array. I mean, that's where the Bacardi factory is,
Speaker 1: and you could mix up just about any anything you want.
Speaker 1: And now now I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, which
Speaker 1: I mean you can't go anywhere here without there being
Speaker 1: alcohol available twenty four seven. And I've said before in
Speaker 1: the you know, when I lived in North Carolina, sometimes
Speaker 1: I would go to a bar and order a beer
Speaker 1: and occasionally, and this is years ago, but I would say,
Speaker 1: you know what, let me have a shot with a beer.
Speaker 1: That's not an uncommon thing. I think people call that
Speaker 1: a boiler maker, where you have a beer with a
Speaker 1: shot of whiskey or something like that. And they'd be like, oh, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's against the law. We can only serve
Speaker 1: one drink at a time. That would be like serving
Speaker 1: you two drinks. I mean, so that's sort of how
Speaker 1: it was for me growing up and I here in Vegas.
Speaker 1: I remember one time I was at a bar and
Speaker 1: I ordered a shot of tequila and the bartender said, well,
Speaker 1: you know, we have a special going on. You can
Speaker 1: get five shots for eight dogs. So it's totally different
Speaker 1: mentality here. You gotta be careful to take care of
Speaker 1: yourself because the funny thing is, despite the availability of
Speaker 1: alcohol here, one of the things that I do for
Speaker 1: fun occasionally is ferment my own wine here at my house.
Speaker 1: And I do that, and I've done this off and
Speaker 1: on for years, because well, I mean, it's it's the
Speaker 1: closest thing to chemistry. I guess I dabble with these days,
Speaker 1: but I like the fact that, you know, you can
Speaker 1: sort of play with different flavors and you can you
Speaker 1: can even tweak the alcohol content. And I mean it's
Speaker 1: to me, it's fun, I think most of all because
Speaker 1: you may have heard that I am a lover of mystery.
Speaker 1: And so when you when you put your ingredients into
Speaker 1: your your your jugs there, you have to wait at
Speaker 1: least a few weeks depending on what you're making, before
Speaker 1: it's going to be U ready to drink. And you
Speaker 1: just never know how it's going to turn out. And
Speaker 1: every single time it's going to be a little different
Speaker 1: when you're doing it at home like that. And so
Speaker 1: I have had not made a batch of home wine
Speaker 1: in quite a while since I moved into my new
Speaker 1: house over two and a half years ago. So I
Speaker 1: finally decided I wanted to go ahead and get around
Speaker 1: to it. So as I was sitting there working on this,
Speaker 1: I was thinking also, by the way, you know, even
Speaker 1: though as I'm getting older, I mean, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: be a much healthier guy. I really am, But the
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is I've never been the healthiest guy.
Speaker 1: I was telling the other day, I said to my
Speaker 1: beautiful wife Lauren, Lauren, I would like to use a
Speaker 1: wishing machine or something similar and get up one day
Speaker 1: and say, look, congratulations, I am changing all my ways.
Speaker 1: You've got the perfect healthy man. I never again am
Speaker 1: going to drink or smoke or eat fast food. I'm
Speaker 1: only going to eat fish, ethically sourced veggies, and I
Speaker 1: feel sorry for that poor grilled fish. God rest his soul.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna work out every day starting at five thirty am.
Speaker 1: First weights, then cardio. I'll run several miles as I
Speaker 1: meditate and praise the universe. Then I'll shower and shave
Speaker 1: up and maybe even rub a little oil and lotion
Speaker 1: here or there. I'll never curse again. I'll only listen
Speaker 1: to positive and uplifting songs and podcasts and messages that
Speaker 1: will motivate and elevate my success and our relationship. I'll
Speaker 1: look in the mirror and smile at myself and remind
Speaker 1: myself that I love myself, and I love every single
Speaker 1: day on this magical planet. And I feel this entire
Speaker 1: experience is a beautiful, blessing array of light. And I
Speaker 1: will embrace sheer positivity every moment under this majestic sun
Speaker 1: and moon and all those twinkling, giggling stars on this incredible,
Speaker 1: miraculous journey of life, I will be the perfect man. Well, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: my wife did not receive any of that, because you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I could take my wishing machine
Speaker 1: out and turn myself into the perfect man that I
Speaker 1: would want to do it. I mean, does that sound
Speaker 1: like does that sound like the most fun person to
Speaker 1: hang out with? I don't know. So anyway, here I
Speaker 1: am working on my latest batch of homemade wine and
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, you know, since I'm mixing up things,
Speaker 1: this would be a great for me to attempt a
Speaker 1: new version of the Genesis experiment. Now, I talked about
Speaker 1: this early on on this podcast called Strange Things, episode
Speaker 1: number twenty six, simply called the Genesis Experiment, and you know,
Speaker 1: I would tell you exactly how I make my home wine.
Speaker 1: But then I was thinking about you know, there, I
Speaker 1: know they're underage people who listen to this, and sure
Speaker 1: they can get online, they can figure out how to
Speaker 1: make their own wine, so they can do that on
Speaker 1: their own. I don't need to be the one to
Speaker 1: tell them. And by the way, you should not do
Speaker 1: that that I that is wrong. So I'm not going
Speaker 1: to tell you how I make wine at home. But
Speaker 1: what I will tell you is that well, one of
Speaker 1: the things that you put in it is is yeast,
Speaker 1: and yeast is a living organism. So let's see. If
Speaker 1: you go directly to the definition of yeast, yeast are
Speaker 1: single celled micro organisms classified as members of the fungus kingdom.
Speaker 1: It says that there are at least fifteen hundred species.
Speaker 1: They're actually really interesting because it's just a little it's
Speaker 1: a little living blob. And if you put them in
Speaker 1: a solution that's got sugar, then what you know, yeast
Speaker 1: is just powder like you make bread with. You put
Speaker 1: them in a bottle with powder, and excuse me, with
Speaker 1: you put them in a You put the powder in
Speaker 1: a bottle with sugar, and they consume the sugar over
Speaker 1: time and then they excrete alcohol. So they these little
Speaker 1: animals literally convert sugar into alcohol. That's the basic the
Speaker 1: basis of how that process works. But those are living creatures.
Speaker 1: Now I'm going to emphasize that because I thought, Okay,
Speaker 1: what if I can take a sterile bottle of water,
Speaker 1: and what if I can put some components in this
Speaker 1: bottle that are absolutely not living at all, but would
Speaker 1: form the building blocks of life. So just to quickly
Speaker 1: recap for you. Years ago, I did the first Genesis
Speaker 1: experiment at which I took a bottle of absolutely sterile
Speaker 1: water used in the medical field, talking about a little
Speaker 1: bottle like one hundred millimeters, and I put it on
Speaker 1: a shelf. And I was in North Carolina at the time,
Speaker 1: and I got online and I got on Coast to
Speaker 1: coast AM and I said, I want everybody to think
Speaker 1: about this bottle. And I put a picture of it
Speaker 1: there with a GPS coordinates, and I said, I want
Speaker 1: you to imagine life just spontaneously springing somehow into this liquid,
Speaker 1: almost like we imagine that God may have just willed
Speaker 1: or manifested human life into existence. What if we all
Speaker 1: do that use our collective minds, our collective mind, and
Speaker 1: then I open it and there's life in there that
Speaker 1: should have never gotten in there. Wouldn't that be amazing? Okay,
Speaker 1: we're up on our break, we'll come back. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you what happened and how this has turned into
Speaker 1: my new idea for the new version of the Genesis
Speaker 1: experiment that we are all gonna do right now. And
Speaker 1: I think we have maybe have a really good chance
Speaker 1: this time of creating life in this bottle. If we
Speaker 1: all work together. Hey, do you like this shows? I

Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio and co to Coast am Paranormal podcast network,
Speaker 1: and I will be right back. Welcome back to Strange
Speaker 1: Things on the iHeart Radio and Coast to Coast A M.
Speaker 1: Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, the Wizard of Weird,
Speaker 1: Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your wormhole brand from my
Speaker 1: studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada. Where every day
Speaker 1: is golden and every night is silver. Getato zoo. In
Speaker 1: the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth, and
Speaker 1: the earth was without form and void, and darkness was
Speaker 1: upon the face of the deep, and the spirit of
Speaker 1: God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said,
Speaker 1: let there be light, And there was light from there.
Speaker 1: God just says, let this be, let that be. And
Speaker 1: we always have this question like, well, all right now, No,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that you should or should not believe
Speaker 1: that version of events, but it is interesting because you
Speaker 1: have people would say, well, well, who created God? Well,
Speaker 1: you're never going to answer that question. But if we
Speaker 1: just take that moment in the Book of Genesis and
Speaker 1: you think about the idea that you might somehow you
Speaker 1: know that this being God could sort of just command
Speaker 1: things into existence, and we are all creations, could enough
Speaker 1: of us working together also create something, command something into
Speaker 1: existence the same way that He created life in this
Speaker 1: in this version of events in the Genesis, the book
Speaker 1: of Genesis, and so I said to everybody, here's the
Speaker 1: Genesis experiment. I got this little bottle of steril water.
Speaker 1: It's completely sealed. There's no trace of life in here whatsoever.
Speaker 1: Here is where it's located. Here's the GPS coordinates. Look
Speaker 1: at it. I want everybody, and there are millions of people, literally,
Speaker 1: because I was on coast to coast a m and
Speaker 1: I said, listen, I want you all to look at
Speaker 1: that bottle and just imagine. Just take ten seconds and
Speaker 1: imagine life of some kind, any kind of life you
Speaker 1: want to envision in there. And we're gonna do this
Speaker 1: for I forget how long, a month or something, and
Speaker 1: then I'm going to crack it open. We'll put it
Speaker 1: under a microscope and see if there's anything in it.
Speaker 1: So I opened it up after this period of time,
Speaker 1: and there was nothing in it. It was completely sterile,
Speaker 1: just as it was supposed to be. So we did
Speaker 1: not create any life. Well, then, years later, I think
Speaker 1: it was once I started doing this podcast Strange Things,
Speaker 1: I said, let's try it again. So I duplicated the
Speaker 1: experiment except out here in Las Vegas, and once again,
Speaker 1: no life inside. So that's two failures. So It's like, no,
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like we are collectively able to make
Speaker 1: life spontaneously emerge inside of this bottle of water. But
Speaker 1: then I started thinking, well, you know, here I am
Speaker 1: brewing up my fermenting my home wine. And I thought, well,
Speaker 1: what if we do the Genesis experiment one more time?
Speaker 1: But this time I know it's gonna contaminate things a
Speaker 1: little bit, but so be it. What if I crack
Speaker 1: open the bottle and I put the building blocks of
Speaker 1: life inside? Because if you look at DNA, and trust me,
Speaker 1: I am no DNA scientists, So I'm just going to
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just a guy with the podcast. All right,
Speaker 1: I may not be the smartest guy in the world,
Speaker 1: but I did stay at a holiday in Express and
Speaker 1: I figure, if you look at what they say, DNA
Speaker 1: is the three building blocks of life. One part is
Speaker 1: a phosphate group, which is basically from what I understand
Speaker 1: as salt. The second is a sugar group. Well, we
Speaker 1: all know what sugar is. And the third is some
Speaker 1: form of nitrogen. Now, I'm not going to get into
Speaker 1: why that mixing salt and sugar and nitrogen together might
Speaker 1: somehow give us the ability to form DNA and therefore life.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, but that's what scientists say.
Speaker 1: Those are the three building blocks of DNA as far
Speaker 1: as I understand, some form of salt, sugar, and nitrogen,
Speaker 1: and none of those things are living. And that's why
Speaker 1: I wanted to point out earlier. This is not like
Speaker 1: when you're fermenting wine, because you're pouring yeast in there,
Speaker 1: which is a little microscopic living organism. In this particular case,
Speaker 1: I can put sugar and salt and some nitrogen powder
Speaker 1: inside this little bottle and seal it back up, and
Speaker 1: there is still no life in there other than the
Speaker 1: contamination of me opening it and you know whatever it's
Speaker 1: being exposed to air, et cetera. So this is not
Speaker 1: a perfect scientific experiment in some kind of like super
Speaker 1: controlled sterile vacuum environment. But we're going to try this again.
Speaker 1: I took two of these little bottles of water, steril
Speaker 1: water one hundred millimeter, again the type used in the
Speaker 1: medical field. And also it's well, it's not expired. Both
Speaker 1: bottles are good, and I put an equal I open them,
Speaker 1: put an equal amount of sugar, salt and nitrogen in
Speaker 1: each one. One of them is a control and one
Speaker 1: of them is our target for this experiment. So I
Speaker 1: have a little area that's I keep kind of just
Speaker 1: warm enough for my wine deferment, okay, because it does
Speaker 1: get really cold out in the desert, as you may
Speaker 1: or may not know. And so in one section of
Speaker 1: this I put the control bottle and in the other
Speaker 1: section I put our target bottle. And here's what I
Speaker 1: want you to do. I want you to go look
Speaker 1: at a picture of this bottle. I'm not gonna tell
Speaker 1: you exactly where it is, but I don't think that
Speaker 1: even matters, because if this works, we're transcending linear distance.
Speaker 1: This is a quantum phenomenon that's transcending the boundaries of
Speaker 1: space time. This is like a psychic focus. I want
Speaker 1: you to look at this bottle, look at the picture
Speaker 1: of it, and I want you to just take at
Speaker 1: least ten seconds and think about life being inside, or
Speaker 1: take longer and meditate and sit there and really get
Speaker 1: into it. Maybe you are the type of person who
Speaker 1: really wants to go an extra step, and you're gonna
Speaker 1: print out a picture of it and draw something on it,
Speaker 1: or save it to your phone and then draw something
Speaker 1: on you. Just get as creative as you want to.
Speaker 1: Here's what you do. Go to this website Strangethingspromo dot com,
Speaker 1: Strange Things Promo p r O m O dot com.
Speaker 1: It should also be okay if you go to the
Speaker 1: plural Strange Things promos dot com. When you go to
Speaker 1: that page, there's not a lot on it we have currently.
Speaker 1: There ought to be maybe even a couple little discounts
Speaker 1: for some things. But scroll down and you will see
Speaker 1: where it says Genesis Experiment twenty twenty five. There is
Speaker 1: a picture of this bottle and the target that we
Speaker 1: are all going to focus on for at least ten seconds.
Speaker 1: I hope that you will do that as soon as possible,
Speaker 1: at least I mean sometime today. But if you can
Speaker 1: do it, go right now and just just to make
Speaker 1: sure you don't forget about it. And at some point
Speaker 1: here in the near future, I guess probably when I
Speaker 1: think my wine is going to be ready, it's going
Speaker 1: to be an extra exciting day because not only am
Speaker 1: I going to to rack and chill and taste my wine,
Speaker 1: but that's also going to be the day then I
Speaker 1: bust open this bottle of water that is sterile. It's
Speaker 1: except for salt, sugar, and nitrogen and whatever I've done
Speaker 1: to contaminate it, and we're going to see if there's
Speaker 1: anything in there. And even though there's going to be
Speaker 1: some contamination by opening this thing and during this experiment,
Speaker 1: what if the activity in the target one is somehow
Speaker 1: exceptional compared to the control version. You see, That's why
Speaker 1: we have a control because they should basically look about
Speaker 1: the same. And if the one that we are all
Speaker 1: looking at it looks exceptionally more interesting, then I think
Speaker 1: it may have to do with the fact that at
Speaker 1: least we have now included the basic building blocks of
Speaker 1: DNA in there. So that is the Genesis Experiment twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five, and I hope, I hope we get something.
Speaker 1: It's going to be very exciting for me to report
Speaker 1: this to you, you know, when it comes to the
Speaker 1: mystery of life. You know, we're talking about creating life.
Speaker 1: But I saw just the other day a news story
Speaker 1: in the BBC and they're saying, oh, we're one step
Speaker 1: closer to all life on Earth ending because scientists have
Speaker 1: moved the doomsday clock to its closest ever to destruction.
Speaker 1: So okay, Doomsday clock move closest ever to destruction. That's
Speaker 1: the headline, and here's what it says. Okay, let me
Speaker 1: first off give you a little background on the doomsday clock.
Speaker 1: You probably have heard about this. The doomsday clock is
Speaker 1: a symbol that presents the estimated likelihood of a human
Speaker 1: made global catastrophe. And it's made by these scientists, it
Speaker 1: said the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists says, here of
Speaker 1: the doomsday clock, symbolizing how near humanity is to destruction,
Speaker 1: has been moved one second forward to eighty nine seconds
Speaker 1: to midnight, the closest it has ever been. Uh, when
Speaker 1: we get back, we'll talk a little bit more about
Speaker 1: the doomsday clock and what what is this? I mean,
Speaker 1: what should you how should you feel about hearing this?
Speaker 1: We're closer than ever to destruction? And apparently there's a
Speaker 1: new movie in the works, a biopic of the great
Speaker 1: Art Bell, and I'm going to tell you about that.
Speaker 1: And then, Oh, I have so many other interests things
Speaker 1: we're gonna dig into. Never enough time on this show,
Speaker 1: but I guess it's good to always keep you wanting more.
Speaker 1: I'm Joshua Whipe Warren. You are listening to strange things
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network,
Speaker 1: and I'll be back after these important messages. Welcome back
Speaker 1: to Strange Things have the iHeart Radio and Coast to
Speaker 1: Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host, Joshua pe Warren,
Speaker 1: and this is the show where the unusual becomes usual. Yes,
Speaker 1: the dooms Day Clock. I'm sure you've heard about that.
Speaker 1: The Doomsday Clock's origin can be traced to the international
Speaker 1: group of researchers called the Chicago Atomic Scientists, who had
Speaker 1: participated in the Manhattan Project. After the atomic bombings of
Speaker 1: Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they began publishing a mimiographed newsletter and
Speaker 1: then a magazine called Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist, which
Speaker 1: since its inception has depicted the clock on every cover.
Speaker 1: The clock was first represented in nineteen forty seven. Okay,
Speaker 1: so basically they're saying, okay, it's a picture of a clock.
Speaker 1: They sit around, they have discussions, and it's like the
Speaker 1: hand on the clock, it's ticking closer to midnight, and
Speaker 1: I guess midnight. Uh, It says the Bulletin's clock is
Speaker 1: not e gauged to register the ups and downs of
Speaker 1: the international power struggle. It is intended to reflect the
Speaker 1: basic changes in the level of continuous danger in which
Speaker 1: mankind lives in the nuclear age and goes on here
Speaker 1: to say midnight has a deeper meaning besides the constant
Speaker 1: threat of war. There are various elements taken into consideration
Speaker 1: when the scientists from the bulletin decide what midnight and
Speaker 1: global catastrophe really mean in a particular year. They might
Speaker 1: include politics, energy, weapons, diplomacy, and climate science. Potential sources
Speaker 1: of threat include nuclear threats, climate change, biotech, herosm and
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence. So members of the board they judge Midnight
Speaker 1: by discussing how close they think humanity is to the
Speaker 1: end of civilization. And in nineteen forty seven, at the
Speaker 1: beginning of the Cold War, the clock was started at
Speaker 1: seven minutes to midnight. And now now they say we
Speaker 1: are eighty nine seconds to midnight, the closest it has
Speaker 1: ever been. Well, does that frighten you? You know what,
Speaker 1: here's what I think about that. Look, for one thing,
Speaker 1: there's no way that these scientists, some of the most
Speaker 1: biased people I've ever met in my entire life, are
Speaker 1: bonafide diploma carrying scientists. So just because somebody says I'm
Speaker 1: a scientist, that does not mean that person. It does
Speaker 1: not let a lot of emotions and and and you know,
Speaker 1: personal biases and things like that reflect how they feel
Speaker 1: about things. So this to me seems more more like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's I mean, it's interesting to see how this particular
Speaker 1: group of scientists feels, and it's a it's a cool
Speaker 1: way of of them expressing themselves. But like, here's the reality.
Speaker 1: Nuclear bombs are not going anywhere. That's not gonna happen even.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's possible that at some point one one
Speaker 1: country will acquire all of the nuclear bombs and take
Speaker 1: them away from everybody else. But nuclear bombs are not
Speaker 1: going anywhere, and so someday are all of the nuclear
Speaker 1: bombs going to go off and that's the end of us? Maybe,
Speaker 1: I mean probably, but who knows how how far into
Speaker 1: the future that may be. It's it's like when they say,
Speaker 1: you know, when the big earthquake's gonna hit, or when
Speaker 1: the big volcano is gonna blow. So I don't think
Speaker 1: it's I mean, to me, I hate to be this
Speaker 1: flippant about it, but it might not have that much
Speaker 1: more meaning than Puck Satawani, Phil the groundhog seeing his
Speaker 1: shadow once a year to predict whether or not there's
Speaker 1: gonna be a longer winter or so on. And I mean,
Speaker 1: I just feel like that. Again, it's interesting, it's a
Speaker 1: way for them to get attention and express their opinion.
Speaker 1: But honestly, if you're gonna take this seriously, then you
Speaker 1: may as well just keep pushing it up to midnight,
Speaker 1: because I mean, it's like, eventually something's gonna happen. We
Speaker 1: know how this story ends. Eventually, something bad's gonna happen,
Speaker 1: So don't worry about that. Listen to this, says here
Speaker 1: on Coast to coastam dot com. The remarkable life story
Speaker 1: of Coast to Coast AM creator Art Bell may soon
Speaker 1: be coming to the silver screen by way of a
Speaker 1: biopic starring Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti. The percolating film project,
Speaker 1: set to be directed by Matt Matt Bettinelly Othan, I
Speaker 1: Don't know who that is, and Tyler Gillette of the
Speaker 1: acclaimed creative collective radio Silence, has reportedly already drawn interest
Speaker 1: from Amazon and Warner Brothers. Credited with spearheading the movie
Speaker 1: are producers Sophie Cassidy and Jeff Katz, who was a
Speaker 1: longtime fan of the late paranormal radio legend mister Art Bell.
Speaker 1: While the biopic is still an in nascent stage, the
Speaker 1: prospects of the movie coming to Fruition look promising, with
Speaker 1: Giamatti being a particularly apt choice to play the beloved
Speaker 1: Art Bell as the actor co host of podcast wherein
Speaker 1: he also explores all manner of high strangeness. I like
Speaker 1: Paul Giamatti. I especially was a fan of his because
Speaker 1: of the John Adams series on HBO. But he's played
Speaker 1: a lot of great roles. He's a fantastic actor. I remember,
Speaker 1: you know, speaking of radio. You know he played I
Speaker 1: guess what was a pig vomit or whatever in the
Speaker 1: Howard Stern movie Private Parts. I'm not sure that I
Speaker 1: can quite see him as Art Bell. I mean, there's
Speaker 1: a little bit of that there, but I haven't taken
Speaker 1: the time to look more deeply into this. So I
Speaker 1: want to do some research on who these filmmakers and
Speaker 1: producers are and get a better feel on it. But
Speaker 1: I wonder, I wonder if this actually happens, if they
Speaker 1: will include Carville the alien. Art Bell's wooden alien statue
Speaker 1: that would supposedly come to life at night, which now
Speaker 1: resides at my house. Wouldn't that be something if Carvill
Speaker 1: makes it into the movie. So I'll keep you updated
Speaker 1: on that. Let's go to some emails. There is one Okay,
Speaker 1: I I did a show, and I'm trying to see, Okay,
Speaker 1: which number of the show was, but it hit a
Speaker 1: nerve with a lot of people. It was about psychic vampires,
Speaker 1: and I think it was episode two twenty five. Yes,
Speaker 1: episode two twenty five of this podcast called be Careful
Speaker 1: about Accepting gifts Psychic Vampires. And I got just a
Speaker 1: huge amount of feedback from that, and with you know,
Speaker 1: you can imagine, I was giving tips on how you
Speaker 1: might tell whether or not you have a psychic vampire
Speaker 1: in your house or your in your life. A lot
Speaker 1: of people loved it, but there were also a lot
Speaker 1: of people who who just hated the concept and were
Speaker 1: attacking me for even bringing this up. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: you guys are psychic vampires when you go after when
Speaker 1: you say I'm gonna do a show after psychic vampires,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden a lot of people start
Speaker 1: attacking you over it. Yeah, those are the psychic vampires.
Speaker 1: I drew them out of the woodwork. But you know.
Speaker 1: That's okay. Let me just I did get a lot
Speaker 1: of very interesting questions, so let me just give you
Speaker 1: one example of an interesting question. A guy named Jason
Speaker 1: wrote me and listener Jason, He wrote, Joshua, aren't we
Speaker 1: all psychic vampires to one extent or another? What are
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this? Well? You know, I get over
Speaker 1: one hundred emails a day and I try to get
Speaker 1: back to people what I can, So I just wrote
Speaker 1: right back one line. I was like, or yeah a
Speaker 1: few I said no, some people make you feel energized
Speaker 1: and others make you feel drained. That was my response,
Speaker 1: And then he wrote this back. He says, that is
Speaker 1: still a consumption of energy, for lack of a better word,
Speaker 1: I also understand the term vampire, but feel that its
Speaker 1: usage here has a lot of loose ends. For instance,
Speaker 1: a depressed person goes out to find solace in people
Speaker 1: of an upbringing nature to alter their energy. The non
Speaker 1: depressed people will typically feel drained by the presence of
Speaker 1: the depressed person. So this depressed person was a seeker
Speaker 1: of a different energy and went to consume it. The
Speaker 1: thing I see here is the motivation behind seeking this energy.
Speaker 1: Whereas our psychic vampire would be depleting a person not
Speaker 1: out of need, but just because that's their intentions towards
Speaker 1: the other person to soak up that one's multiple energies.
Speaker 1: And then he says, I believe I may have just
Speaker 1: answered my own question. Now, granted, folks, that was a
Speaker 1: little confusing to me, but nonetheless, I mean, maybe that
Speaker 1: made more sense to you than it did to me.
Speaker 1: But then he goes on to say, now, I believe
Speaker 1: the question would be how to distinguish a person that
Speaker 1: really needs the energy versus a person that is just
Speaker 1: depleting set energy for no purpose but just to do it.
Speaker 1: Similar flags on both behalves. One just does it to
Speaker 1: do it and the other actually needs it, So how
Speaker 1: would we distinguish one from the other. In the moment, thanks,
Speaker 1: and you're an awesome person for just responding back. Well,
Speaker 1: that's very nice for you to say that, Jason, and
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. So I said, you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: going to answer this question on an upcoming show, and
Speaker 1: so we're coming up on a break. When we come back,
Speaker 1: I'm going to give an answer. And also I think
Speaker 1: kind of a final summary of what I'm talking about
Speaker 1: when it comes to this whole psychic vampire thing. You know,
Speaker 1: maybe I need to put a better point on it
Speaker 1: to show you what exactly I mean. And then I think,
Speaker 1: I think I might just get into a story about
Speaker 1: the Locke ness Monster. I haven't talked about NeSSI in
Speaker 1: a while. I'm Joshua Pee Warren. You're listening to Strange
Speaker 1: Things All on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Speaker 1: Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will be right back. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to the final segment of this edition of Strange
Speaker 1: Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal
Speaker 1: Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren, And
Speaker 1: I told the listener Jason I would answer his question
Speaker 1: on the show, and he said, no problem, brother, and
Speaker 1: thank you for being you. Well, see, Jason seems to
Speaker 1: be a very nice person. I started to say, if
Speaker 1: you don't know who the psychic vampire is, it's you.
Speaker 1: But no, no, that that necessarily is not true. Okay,
Speaker 1: So seriously, here's how I feel about that. It's true
Speaker 1: that anybody can feed upon anybody. Okay, we can all
Speaker 1: feed upon each other, either consciously or subconsciously, even psychic
Speaker 1: vampires are fed upon by other psychic vampires, so you
Speaker 1: can only classify a psychic vampire from your own individual,
Speaker 1: subjective point of view. And in my podcast on this topic,
Speaker 1: episode two twenty five, I gave a specific list of
Speaker 1: behaviors that you can look for in someone who might
Speaker 1: be a psychic vampire feeding on you. So I advise
Speaker 1: everyone listening to go back and listen to that list
Speaker 1: if you're interested. Now, one of the things a psychic
Speaker 1: vampire does is hound you with questions all the time.
Speaker 1: So I have friends who drive me nuts with too
Speaker 1: many questions. They're still my friends, and I don't think
Speaker 1: they're bad people, but I do believe they tend to
Speaker 1: be psychic vampires, and I limit my exposure to them
Speaker 1: because they drain me. But ultimately, there is no all
Speaker 1: seeing authority who is going to objectively designate someone as
Speaker 1: psychic vampires. So again, it is a subjective topic. And therefore,
Speaker 1: since this is a podcast, I've given you my outlook
Speaker 1: on the situation from your point of view, and that's
Speaker 1: what's important. From your point of view, think about how
Speaker 1: some people consistently make you feel energized and others consistently
Speaker 1: make you feel drained, and so you can decide who
Speaker 1: the vampires might be in your own life. And I
Speaker 1: think that's the best way that I can that I
Speaker 1: can sum that up. Honestly. I was looking the other
Speaker 1: day back through some of the stories from one of
Speaker 1: the favorite, my favorite books I've ever produced. It's called
Speaker 1: Amazing Happy Endings True Stories to Make You Smile. And
Speaker 1: I actually compiled this book of true stories. I even
Speaker 1: read the audiobook version of it. The website is Amazinghappy
Speaker 1: Endings dot com. And I asked people to send me stories,
Speaker 1: and I said that you know, the story must be true,
Speaker 1: must be short, and it must be kind of amazing
Speaker 1: and have a happy ending. And I thought this one
Speaker 1: was one that I would revisit. Sent to me from
Speaker 1: Ashley Barnes. I actually met Ashley at least once. She
Speaker 1: came to an event here in Vegas. Very very nice, insightful,
Speaker 1: warm person. I think she's got some special some special
Speaker 1: magical powers. She wrote this about that experience she had
Speaker 1: based out of Georgia here in the USA in twenty twelve.
Speaker 1: She said, I had been fascinated with the Lockness Monster
Speaker 1: in Scotland since reading about it in my third grade
Speaker 1: language arts class. It was my childhood dream to go
Speaker 1: to Lockness and search for NeSSI my parents were not
Speaker 1: interested and were very apprehensive about going overseas, so I
Speaker 1: planned it to be a solo trip. In my twenties,
Speaker 1: every bit of money I received as a Christmas or
Speaker 1: Birthday present was saved over the years in an envelope
Speaker 1: marked Scotland and kept in a safety deposit box. At
Speaker 1: age nineteen, I was diagnosed with the epstein bar virus
Speaker 1: and monoonucleosis and was bedridden for six weeks. I never
Speaker 1: fully recovered, and two years later I was then diagnosed
Speaker 1: with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibroma algia. This was a
Speaker 1: major setback in my independence, and my trip to Scotland
Speaker 1: got pushed even further into my future as I tried
Speaker 1: to survive and attempt to just live a normal life.
Speaker 1: In twenty twelve, after struggling to find a job post
Speaker 1: college graduation, I was hired at an electric corporation in Duluth, Georgia.
Speaker 1: There was another new hire that sat next to me
Speaker 1: during the orientation who was about my father's age with
Speaker 1: a very familiar accent. He was from Scotland. I spoke
Speaker 1: with him briefly about my childhood dream and my health difficulties.
Speaker 1: We worked on completely different sides of the building and
Speaker 1: in different departments. Our paths would have never crossed had
Speaker 1: we not gone through New Higher Orientation together. A few
Speaker 1: years later, I was healthier and ready to start planning
Speaker 1: my Soulo trip to Lockness. Traveling alone would prove very
Speaker 1: difficult with my illness. I saw my New Hire Orientation
Speaker 1: friend in the break room one day and I told
Speaker 1: him about my plans. I told him I was thinking
Speaker 1: about flying into Inverness, which is the closest airport to Lockness,
Speaker 1: no more than a thirty minute drive away, and he
Speaker 1: informed me that his mom and sister lived in Inverness
Speaker 1: and I could rent a visitor's flat at his mother's
Speaker 1: retirement community apartment complex, and then I would have a
Speaker 1: mother and grandmother figure nearby to host me if I
Speaker 1: needed anything. A few months later, A few months later,
Speaker 1: I was at my favorite bar in Nashville, Tennessee, celebrating
Speaker 1: my birthday and there was a girl about my age
Speaker 1: who was alone. She stood next to me by the
Speaker 1: stage and we bonded, singing a few songs together. She
Speaker 1: even try to set me up with the guitarist in
Speaker 1: the band. When we spoke, I could tell she had
Speaker 1: an odd accent and asked where she was from. She
Speaker 1: said she was from the UK. I told her I
Speaker 1: was going to Inverness in Scotland that coming summer, and
Speaker 1: she told me that's where she currently lived. We connected
Speaker 1: via social media and she ended up being the person
Speaker 1: who greeted me at the Inverness airport upon my arrival.
Speaker 1: The Higher power God lined up my childhood dream trip perfectly,
Speaker 1: with the grandmother, mother and a girlfriend to host me
Speaker 1: and guide me as I traveled alone. When something is
Speaker 1: meant to be, the stars truly line up. My three
Speaker 1: weeks stay was beyond what words could just. Realizing my
Speaker 1: childhood dream was one of the most fulfilling accomplishments I've
Speaker 1: ever experienced. Traveling solo internationally was a major step out
Speaker 1: of my comfort zone and into my independence and adulthood.
Speaker 1: Having a safety net of three trustworthy women and Inverness
Speaker 1: meant the world to me, but still allowed me to
Speaker 1: spread my wings. Oh and if you're wondering if I
Speaker 1: got a glimpse of the Lockness monster, well let's just
Speaker 1: say I got what I wanted don't you love stories
Speaker 1: like that where all the pieces fall into place, everything
Speaker 1: comes together in a manner that's too much for mere coincidence.
Speaker 1: When you want something and you set your mind to
Speaker 1: it and your patient, you might not get it exactly
Speaker 1: when you want it, but if you're serious enough about it,
Speaker 1: you can manifest it. Thank you for that story. Actually,
Speaker 1: go if you haven't read this book, folks, go to
Speaker 1: Amazinghappy Endings dot com. You can get it for next
Speaker 1: to nothing on Amazon. Listen to the audiobook on Audible.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna see if I can squeeze In an email,
Speaker 1: I got here real quick from Amanda, who wrote to
Speaker 1: me about the Grabavoy codes. I recently did a podcast
Speaker 1: about those. These are numbers that you can meditate on
Speaker 1: that might help you manifest things, she says, Joshua, after
Speaker 1: your episode. I ordered the book on the codes and
Speaker 1: tried the one for Unexpected Money a few weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Today in the mail, I received a check for thirty
Speaker 1: five dollars and fifty eight cents from an insurance company
Speaker 1: for a car that was totaled six years ago. It
Speaker 1: gave me quite a chuckle to see the code in action.
Speaker 1: Thanks again, Amanda, and that's great, Amanda, that you have
Speaker 1: that attitude. You know, even though it was only thirty
Speaker 1: five dollars and fifty eight cents, I mean, it was
Speaker 1: unexpected money and you experimented with it and now you
Speaker 1: can be like, hmmm, let me let me take this
Speaker 1: up a notch. You got to do these things and
Speaker 1: baby steps. Well, we've covered a lot in this program
Speaker 1: as usual, so now let us all meditate together on
Speaker 1: bringing good luck to all of us listening. We want
Speaker 1: to make your next week the best week ever. So
Speaker 1: if you can close your eyes regardless, take some deep breaths,
