WEBVTT - Folklore: Elves

0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Insider's Guide to the Other Side, a production

0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 1>of iHeartRadio. Hi, y'all, I'm Julie.

0:00:09.400 --> 0:00:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Hi there, I'm Brenda. Welcome to Insider's Guide to the

0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Other Side.

0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Now, y'all need to know that we are obsessed with

0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:20.000
<v Speaker 1>everything on the other side.

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we are, because once you learn to navigate the energetic,

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 2>or to some the invisible world, life is going to

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 2>be more fun and much more serene.

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Uh heck, yes it can, because, let's be honest, br in,

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:37.519
<v Speaker 1>earth school is hard. In fact, you taught me.

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 2>That, let's crush Earth school together.

0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Hello, my witchy oh pooh. It is so good to

0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:48.199
<v Speaker 1>see you. Hi.

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Now spend a minute of my own ough you flew solo.

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:54.240
<v Speaker 2>You did such a great job.

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I did not like it. I mean I can write

0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:00.320
<v Speaker 1>a whole Doctor Seuss poem on why I I didn't

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>like it Stanza by Stanza on how I missed you

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>and how lonely I was.

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 2>I know it's not as It's not as easy.

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 1>No, and I've recorded it twice for the record, did you. Yeah,

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 1>that's impressive.

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.319
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate the commitment in security.

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>And I didn't have my witchy poop on my side,

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 1>and it just wasn't as good. Are you good like

0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:24.559
<v Speaker 1>we missed you? As everything good?

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.479
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, I am in recovery, but I'm good.

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm good. Yeah.

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 2>You can still hear a little, a little in my

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 2>voice that not quite one hundred percent, but I'm pretty close.

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.399
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, you said eighty, and I think eighty is

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 1>an understatement for where you see. But you know your

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>percentage is better than me. I think I normally I

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:48.919
<v Speaker 1>met an eighty. Eighty is one hundred to me. So

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I just like, I'm like, eighty, Holy shit, Like that's

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 1>a B minus in soul, which is above average. That's

0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>why I think I'm always there.

0:01:58.080 --> 0:01:59.279
<v Speaker 2>You're passing.

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't right. If you said sixty, I'm like, oh girl,

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>you're almost in the F zone, right, But you didn't.

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 1>You said eighty. So maybe your scoring is very different

0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 1>than my scoring.

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 2>I do not score on a curve.

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you see us scoring on an elf curve?

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, you make me laugh. I just appreciate that,

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 2>first of all, you're covering while I was out, and

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 2>also just the generous heart in which you told your story.

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:31.240
<v Speaker 1>It was no thanks. It's also my love of entertainment.

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Which actually brings us, I think to kind of why

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 1>we're starting a new series, not a whole podcast, shy'll

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>just a series within our podcast. So of course I

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.519
<v Speaker 1>have to tell you the story why because I am

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 1>me and so I was in Los Angeles last week

0:02:56.000 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 1>and busy, I mean like busy, like an ELF busy,

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 1>busy busy where I wasn't getting back to the hotel

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 1>until most nights between eleven thirty and twelve thirty, Like, well.

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 2>You're with your people, come on, we know that you're

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 2>going to be out late.

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 1>I loved it. I loved every second, but it's like

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:18.640
<v Speaker 1>not a lot of time. And I have to say this.

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Nobody cares. You know why I'm saying this. I actually

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 1>checked a bag and that's like a huge no, Like

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>that's a huge trust issue with me, and I know

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 1>it's it's like a trust fall if I if I

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:32.240
<v Speaker 1>check a bag, that's a trust fall.

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 2>So so I always check bags because of my skincare. Okay,

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 2>I can't fit it in a court sized bag.

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's hilarious, but it's literally a trust fall. Of

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 1>all the times I traveled inter nationally and my bags

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 1>were lost, delayed, all that kind of stuff. It's like

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>I try to jam everything in there, and I'll even

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>carry like stuff in my backpack that should be in

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 1>a suitcase because I don't trust airlines, so anyway is

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 1>a trust fault. It worked Southwest, you know, they caught

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.440
<v Speaker 1>me going there and coming back. So anyway, I packed

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 1>full back, very exciting, stayed in hotels, the pool, swam

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:16.840
<v Speaker 1>it was fantastic. But here's what happened. I know it's like,

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 1>this is the irrelevant part of the section of the podcast.

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 1>So here's what happened. I have not flown Southwest in

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.720
<v Speaker 1>a really long time. And it's not because I don't

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 1>like them. I'm super cool with Southwest. It's just they weren't.

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:34.800
<v Speaker 1>They didn't match up right to flight. They will come

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:40.360
<v Speaker 1>to find out there's a direct flight from Albuquerque to Burbank.

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh sweet, right, and I worry a little

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 1>bit it might just be like seasonal. I hope it's not.

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:52.200
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, fuck yeah, I'm going. And I've never seen,

0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.839
<v Speaker 1>by the way, both airports more busy in my life

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 1>because it's it's it's you know, summer vacation, it's all

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff. I mean, like I used to

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.640
<v Speaker 1>own the Albuquerque Airport. When I would go, it was

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:08.159
<v Speaker 1>man like four other people. Now I'm like, where did

0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.680
<v Speaker 1>they come from? But it's you know, it's it's terristyme

0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>and that's pretty much what we're really good for here.

0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, so on Southwest Airlines, I was not aware

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:21.479
<v Speaker 1>that when they turned on the Wi Fi, you could

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.400
<v Speaker 1>go on your phone or your whatever device and they

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:27.760
<v Speaker 1>have a list of free movies. And I'm like, two

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 1>favorite words free in movies. They don't always have to

0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 1>be next to each other, but it's nice when they are.

0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:34.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I want to see what they have in

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 1>the free movie.

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Mean, they don't have the little TVs in the back

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 2>of the sea.

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.480
<v Speaker 1>No, there's a long gone honey. I didn't know. You

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't know that, but there you go. So I wouldn't know.

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't know. I played the field. I'm like a

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 1>quad sexual when it comes to airlines. It's like, whoever

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 1>gets me there fastest, I'm your date. Okay, Yeah, I

0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 1>don't care about Miles. I don't care about that shit.

0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I just want to get there. I want to get home.

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>So I used to care about Miles, and I realized

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.080
<v Speaker 1>because I traveled so much I never used them. Yeah,

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:12.920
<v Speaker 1>so there's that anyway. So so I realized, like, oh,

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I can watch a movie. So the movie they had

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.680
<v Speaker 1>go fucking figures like gold Mine, shit, it was ghost

0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 1>it was it was Ghostbusters, Frozen, Empire. I'm like, again

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 1>favorite words. I like the Cold so Frozen works, love Ghostbusting,

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not I'm kind of a fan of Empires.

0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.920
<v Speaker 1>So I'm like, I will watch this movie so that this.

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Must be the latest of it. Is it a remake?

0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:44.599
<v Speaker 1>Right, it's not a remake, No, it's it's it's new there, yes, okay, yeah,

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.760
<v Speaker 1>and also some of my favorite actors are in there

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 1>as well. Okay, yeah, it's great. Who's in it? Well

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:54.279
<v Speaker 1>we had the oldies, right we have uh, we have

0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:57.359
<v Speaker 1>Bill Murray was in there, and Annie Potts, who I

0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>love Annie Potts. She's also in Young Sheldon. I just

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:05.719
<v Speaker 1>love Annipots. And they also had a woman named Carrie

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Khon who is in it. And Carrie Cohne is not

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 1>like a super popular actress, but she was in one

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 1>of my favorite series ever called The Leftovers, and I

0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>became obsessed. I mean, she's so good. It's an HBO series.

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I encourage everybody to watch and if anybody wants to

0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 1>be my friend, you have to watch that, unless you're

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Brenda because she gets exempt from No, not at all. Actually,

0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:35.239
<v Speaker 1>it's not scary at all. It's it's there's an event. Okay,

0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 1>we're totally going off track. I love this. It's there's

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 1>an event that happens, and I think it's like three

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 1>percent or five percent of the population on the planet

0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 1>just disappears, and it's an event COVID, but they literally

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 1>physically disappear like this, And I love it because it's

0:07:55.640 --> 0:08:00.160
<v Speaker 1>really a story about what we do when we're fraid,

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>when we're in grief and seeking shelter, solace, safety, whatever

0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 1>it may be, who we connect ourselves to, how we

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:14.720
<v Speaker 1>act like I just love those types of shows. And anyway,

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.280
<v Speaker 1>so she stars in The Leftover, so I was very

0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 1>excited about that. So I'm watching this show. I'm not

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.040
<v Speaker 1>going to tell you guys about it, because this movie,

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:25.560
<v Speaker 1>you guys could watch it. It's fun. But there's this

0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>moment when somebody was explaining to another and one character

0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:34.080
<v Speaker 1>was explained to another character something like, well, yeah, you know,

0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>I believe in that, and then continued on and say

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 1>something about the singing cheeses of Copenhagen, like that it

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.840
<v Speaker 1>was some folklore or myth or something like that. So

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I get all excited. Right, So I'm like, oh my god,

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:52.200
<v Speaker 1>a new folklore for me. And I go look it

0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.560
<v Speaker 1>up and okay, it with some episode on Rimy and Stimpy,

0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:57.600
<v Speaker 1>a cartoon. I'm like, well, fuck this, it's not a

0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.959
<v Speaker 1>real folklore. There's nothing about the singing she's of Copenhagen.

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:05.800
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, I'm so disappointed. So but what was

0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.720
<v Speaker 1>awesome about my disappointment? I'm like, you know, me, would

0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:12.240
<v Speaker 1>you poo have not actually gone through and kind of

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 1>addressed all the different folklores that are out there, and

0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I thought, what a fun series it would be for us.

0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Am I right.

0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely? I can't wait to see where this goes.

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, we're going to start with elves because why not.

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Of course we are.

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.400
<v Speaker 1>And I've done homework because you know nerdy elf does

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:41.320
<v Speaker 1>homework too, and I have. You know, when you do

0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.000
<v Speaker 1>research for these types of topics, you have to go

0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.040
<v Speaker 1>deep into like Reddit, and you to go deep into

0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.600
<v Speaker 1>like discord and shit like that to like really go

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 1>in to get the stories. And I think I found

0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.320
<v Speaker 1>a good one, so I wanted to hear.

0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.240
<v Speaker 2>So we should probably take a break.

0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I'm just kidding, Yeah, take a break. But I

0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.480
<v Speaker 1>just want to say to everyone, as you listen to this,

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 1>we're not trying to sell you guys folklorees. We're just sharing, right,

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.000
<v Speaker 1>We're going to talk about what we think and what

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.360
<v Speaker 1>possibilities are. But I just think it's really interesting just

0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 1>the fact that there's so many that there's so many

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:19.560
<v Speaker 1>and we're going to cover a lot of them from

0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>around the world, and I just think it's just a

0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.880
<v Speaker 1>really fascinating topic. And if you don't believe, that's fine,

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.440
<v Speaker 1>But the next party you go to you'll have stuff

0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:28.040
<v Speaker 1>to talk about.

0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and remember it's about how culturally we make sense

0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:32.959
<v Speaker 2>of the.

0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:43.520
<v Speaker 1>World exactly, exactly. Okay, we'll be right back. I'd welcome back,

0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:51.160
<v Speaker 1>thank you. Okay, so let me tell what I found. Well, yeah,

0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 1>and we can talk as we go through it, right,

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 1>But this is really awesome because the headline, well, it's

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:03.439
<v Speaker 1>under tags of so our little rs reddit slash paranormal,

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.200
<v Speaker 1>so it's in the paranormal section of Reddit, and it

0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 1>has a tag of encounter. So just everybody knows okay,

0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:12.440
<v Speaker 1>but there's a headline and this is what I love.

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Did I meet in elf? Or was it something else? Classic? Right,

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.360
<v Speaker 1>isn't this fantastic? I'm going to try to like make it.

0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, it doesn't want to go horizontal on me,

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.000
<v Speaker 1>old age. I'm gonna have to look at it really closely.

0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:31.079
<v Speaker 1>So here we go. Here is did I meet an elf?

0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Or was it something else? So this happened to me

0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.480
<v Speaker 1>when I was ten, but I was so shocked I

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:43.079
<v Speaker 1>remember it vividly. My parents go to the farmer's market weekly.

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:47.720
<v Speaker 1>This time they brought me along. So this farmer's market

0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.520
<v Speaker 1>was held on a big parking lot and on the

0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 1>ground here and there there were some sorts of metal

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:58.079
<v Speaker 1>gratings and you could see the sewers. By the way,

0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:01.880
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like an intro to it, that evil clown.

0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 1>I thought you're going to say Poltergeist. No, no, because

0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:10.160
<v Speaker 1>it's not a comedy. Neither was neither was it. By

0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.760
<v Speaker 1>the way, it's kind of scared the shit out of me. Okay,

0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:15.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you can picture, but I could

0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.320
<v Speaker 1>try finding a pic. Okay, Okay, sorry, I didn't mean,

0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:23.840
<v Speaker 1>who cares? Uh, we can picture it, right, because farmers.

0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah right, really Farmers Market, parking lot medlow grade. See

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 1>the sewer, got it? And if you can't picture it,

0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:35.079
<v Speaker 1>go watch it anyway. I was always scared of walking

0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.280
<v Speaker 1>on them as a kid because I thought I would

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.719
<v Speaker 1>fall in. Totally fair. And by the way, if you're

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 1>a lady and you got some heels on it, you

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 1>avoid that shit too. Clearly, this is not a lady.

0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a heat it is. Oh no, maybe

0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:53.400
<v Speaker 1>a lady. This person continues and says, But that day

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.240
<v Speaker 1>the market was full, not a lot of space to

0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 1>go around, and I had to walk over them. As

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 1>I did, I looked down and there was somebody down

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:07.360
<v Speaker 1>there looking back. Oh no, that's some freaky shit.

0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, as a ten year old, I don't

0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:11.960
<v Speaker 2>think he would make that up.

0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. But I'm fully convinced this is

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.080
<v Speaker 1>not made up. But you tell me, because you are

0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:24.240
<v Speaker 1>the wishy poo. This person continues. He was small, he

0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:30.200
<v Speaker 1>had pointy ears, but it's his eyes that I can't forget.

0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 1>They were golden and so shiny. I looked at him,

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.920
<v Speaker 1>he looked at me for what seemed to be an eternity.

0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.760
<v Speaker 1>I was so shocked that. I just kept on walking,

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.640
<v Speaker 1>went back to the car. I told my parents, I

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:50.640
<v Speaker 1>told everyone, but nobody would believe me. I mean seriously,

0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:51.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean I get it.

0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:52.839
<v Speaker 2>I totally get it.

0:13:52.920 --> 0:14:00.160
<v Speaker 1>I totally get it. To this day, nobody does. It

0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.000
<v Speaker 1>has become a running joke amongst my friends, so I

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.840
<v Speaker 1>stopped talking about it altogether. It's the first time I've

0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:11.240
<v Speaker 1>told this story in a decade. Trust me, reading it

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:14.360
<v Speaker 1>as an adult. I know how crazy, corny and ridiculous

0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:18.920
<v Speaker 1>it sounds, but I know it happened. Has anybody ever

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:23.600
<v Speaker 1>heard anything blah blah that's happened to them? Why do

0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I missed a part? I said twenty

0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.640
<v Speaker 1>years right, Okay, that's the part they caught me. Yeah,

0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.520
<v Speaker 1>you're kidding, I mean, and then I realized, Hey, actually

0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:34.960
<v Speaker 1>say it, because in my head I've said it a

0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.480
<v Speaker 1>thousand times since I've read this story. Pointy years, twenty years,

0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:42.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty years golden eyes, golden eyes, come the fuck one? Yeah,

0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:47.520
<v Speaker 1>that would do it. Okay, So do you feel that

0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:54.800
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about like this is this child adult now

0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 1>encountered this? Yeah? I mean this it sounds pretty incredible.

0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:10.360
<v Speaker 1>So here's what's interesting is the elves, which the Internet

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:14.640
<v Speaker 1>calls fictional beings and have to say specifically who calls

0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:18.040
<v Speaker 1>it fictional beings, has been in the European folklore for

0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:22.720
<v Speaker 1>since the fifteen hundreds at least. Well this is what

0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:26.400
<v Speaker 1>they say, right, I think there's I think there's Celtic

0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:30.880
<v Speaker 1>folklore that might be a little bit older. But what's

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:33.720
<v Speaker 1>interesting is, you know they talk about like what they

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.400
<v Speaker 1>look like. You know, they're small, usually in the form

0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:42.760
<v Speaker 1>of a tiny human, right, so that tracks they're known

0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:45.200
<v Speaker 1>for playing tricks and causing troubles. I mean, listen, if

0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:47.200
<v Speaker 1>like you're gonna have an ELF's gonna catch your eye

0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 1>through grades, like you're causing trouble. Yeah, you're not hiding

0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:55.200
<v Speaker 1>from humans. You're like messing with humans. And is it.

0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:59.240
<v Speaker 1>One of the other things that happens is they steal children.

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:01.400
<v Speaker 1>They steal a lot of things.

0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.880
<v Speaker 2>They can steal a lot of things, but they will Yeah,

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:09.240
<v Speaker 2>they can steal children. But also they they tend to

0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:13.080
<v Speaker 2>hang out in what we call the tweenier places, right,

0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:17.840
<v Speaker 2>the places that are thresholds to other places, like a

0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:22.600
<v Speaker 2>great a sewer, grade, a window, a doorway. Right, that's

0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:27.200
<v Speaker 2>those those little thresholds because they can go between the Earth,

0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, the earthplane and the magical world. And so

0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 2>they you know, they can turn any of those thresholds

0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 2>or you know, vortexes into transportation into the into the

0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:45.960
<v Speaker 2>magical world. So that's usually where'll they will catch your eye.

0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:47.200
<v Speaker 2>Does that make sense?

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So like they can now they can pass through

0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:53.160
<v Speaker 1>to our dimension, can we pass.

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Through to their not without them, without their guide, like

0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:02.160
<v Speaker 2>they without their abduction really when I think of but yeah,

0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:06.560
<v Speaker 2>like that, so.

0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:12.800
<v Speaker 1>They were believed and in various reasons to cause diseases

0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:18.359
<v Speaker 1>in humans and cattle. I've never heard that. Yeah, that

0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:26.280
<v Speaker 1>just sounds like pre understanding bacteria. Right, and that also

0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.359
<v Speaker 1>keep in mind of timelines, right, like fifteen hundreds, was

0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:33.320
<v Speaker 1>this to say that's the latest, right? That was certainly

0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:39.320
<v Speaker 1>a time of widespread illiteracy. Yeah, right, Like this is

0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:46.120
<v Speaker 1>back in the day when religion was was they're they're

0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.359
<v Speaker 1>guiding force. Like when the sun came up every morning,

0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:50.800
<v Speaker 1>there was like, oh they thank God that the son

0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:54.320
<v Speaker 1>that thank God that God allowed the sun to come

0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.640
<v Speaker 1>up that day because they thought it was a choice. Right,

0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:01.400
<v Speaker 1>there's no understanding of a galaxy, a universe solar system,

0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:04.840
<v Speaker 1>not that it was the divine, right right, right, It

0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:12.840
<v Speaker 1>was the divine And it's really funny because, uh, you know,

0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:15.840
<v Speaker 1>there's a there's a little like I've read, as you

0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.879
<v Speaker 1>can imagine, quite a bit about elves and I'm in

0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:22.240
<v Speaker 1>my next place on my vacation, like my hit list

0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:25.400
<v Speaker 1>is actually Iceland, Like I want to go hang out,

0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:29.360
<v Speaker 1>and I think they're waiting for me, no doubt. Well,

0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.199
<v Speaker 1>the magical L's and they like to cause a lot

0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.760
<v Speaker 1>of ruckusts and stuff. But there's a lot of cases

0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:36.120
<v Speaker 1>that that do a lot of stories that come out

0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 1>of Iceland of interacting. In fact, I think there's one

0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:44.280
<v Speaker 1>of the highways that they made to avoid this kind

0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:46.600
<v Speaker 1>of part of a force which was known where the

0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:47.360
<v Speaker 1>L's were.

0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:51.040
<v Speaker 2>They and they were instructed to build around it, to

0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:54.320
<v Speaker 2>build it right, yeah, because like things people would go missing.

0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Hey, man, don't mess with the elves because it's funny

0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:02.359
<v Speaker 1>because they say, you know, are they because you know,

0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:06.119
<v Speaker 1>I rarely have had elf conversations before, and people have

0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:07.840
<v Speaker 1>asked like are they good or bad? And I'm like,

0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:12.480
<v Speaker 1>they're both, yeah, just like people, they're both right, you know,

0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:16.040
<v Speaker 1>they're known for these magical qualities. I think there's certain

0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:19.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, possibilities that they can have. But yeah, of

0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:21.960
<v Speaker 1>course they're gonna be They're gonna be bad. They're gonna

0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:24.960
<v Speaker 1>be mischievous. I don't know what dry. So tell me, like,

0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:26.439
<v Speaker 1>why would they steal children?

0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:31.760
<v Speaker 2>You know, well, one because they can and to get

0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:36.080
<v Speaker 2>enough answer if they're trying to get the humans attention

0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:39.200
<v Speaker 2>to do something or pay attention to something or said

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:43.840
<v Speaker 2>something right, and they they are too stubborn, or they're

0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:49.680
<v Speaker 2>not paying attention to how how cherished their children should

0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:50.760
<v Speaker 2>be or something like that.

0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:53.200
<v Speaker 1>They're teaching a lesson kind of things.

0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're like, okay, we'll show you dipstick.

0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Where do the kids go? You know?

0:19:58.080 --> 0:19:59.840
<v Speaker 2>They go into another Yeah, they go into the magical

0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:01.480
<v Speaker 2>they go to the elf land.

0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Why didn't that happen to me? We don't know that

0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:14.680
<v Speaker 1>it didn't. Oh good fight nicely. Yes, Maybe that's why

0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I like them so much. Maybe that's why you got

0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:20.159
<v Speaker 1>your magical powers. Maybe. So okay, so I'm just going

0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:22.400
<v Speaker 1>to bring up one thing and then we should probably

0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:24.359
<v Speaker 1>take another break, which I can't believe I said that

0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:29.880
<v Speaker 1>out loud. It's a hate breaks. There's a list of

0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:34.320
<v Speaker 1>like these characteristics, right, so they're small, the form of

0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 1>tiny human. They remain youthful for more than five hundred years.

0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:42.520
<v Speaker 1>They're known for playing tricks and causing troubles. They're associated

0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:47.679
<v Speaker 1>with magic, skilled with weapons and magic, and sometimes shape shifters.

0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, they possess anate grace and beauty. Here's my

0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:57.000
<v Speaker 1>favorite part. Like, I like literally cannot get this out

0:20:57.040 --> 0:21:03.200
<v Speaker 1>of my head. Antagonistic and often at odds with dwarves,

0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Like what the fuck?

0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Well?

0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:11.040
<v Speaker 1>I think back to think wrestling.

0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:18.440
<v Speaker 2>Now, think Lord of the Rings in photos posse, right,

0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:20.560
<v Speaker 2>how the elves and the dwarfs would like snarl at

0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:20.960
<v Speaker 2>each other.

0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:24.199
<v Speaker 1>Isn't it funny? I mean, but it's like it's like,

0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:26.440
<v Speaker 1>I guess you know, when you have like a very

0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:29.360
<v Speaker 1>large person who's antagonizing a small person, if they pick

0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:31.119
<v Speaker 1>on some of your own size. I think in this

0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:32.399
<v Speaker 1>case they pick the right size.

0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Nice. Yes, all those things out there are definitely associated

0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 2>with magical things, stirring up trouble, and sometimes stirring up

0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:50.600
<v Speaker 2>trouble just to create more magic. Like, hey, you think

0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:52.600
<v Speaker 2>we're not real, huh, jokes on you.

0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:54.160
<v Speaker 1>We'll show you. You're gonna have to build a road

0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:58.639
<v Speaker 1>around as fuckers. Okay, we're going to come back, and

0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk a little bit about the Keilp

0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:03.880
<v Speaker 1>folklore of elves and we'll dive into some other aspect

0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:06.040
<v Speaker 1>of elves. Okay, we'll be right back.

0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:18.399
<v Speaker 2>And welcome back to more alphology.

0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so this is just fun facts. These are just

0:22:24.280 --> 0:22:29.280
<v Speaker 1>fun elfin facts. So there's a question, So you know,

0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:33.119
<v Speaker 1>what are the elves and Celtic folk lore Jesus Julie,

0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:37.320
<v Speaker 1>say it properly, say it, don't spit it or stutter it.

0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:41.040
<v Speaker 1>So who are the elves? In Scotland mythology and folklore

0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:44.520
<v Speaker 1>and Scottish mythology and folklore, elves are known as it

0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:47.640
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter the sith the sith is something like that,

0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:51.280
<v Speaker 1>but they're believed to be, to your point, supernatural beings

0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:54.639
<v Speaker 1>who live in a parallel world alongside humans and have

0:22:54.720 --> 0:22:59.439
<v Speaker 1>the ability to interact with and influence human affairs. Like

0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:03.960
<v Speaker 1>that is probably the best definition. Yet, what I think

0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:07.040
<v Speaker 1>is really fascinating is they say, kind of where do

0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:11.640
<v Speaker 1>elves come from? Like it's like, how do elves come

0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:15.200
<v Speaker 1>to be? So once I really am interested to get

0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:22.080
<v Speaker 1>your take on this. So when Middle Earth universe was

0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:27.000
<v Speaker 1>created by the supreme being e Eru, I think it's

0:23:27.119 --> 0:23:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I l u v A t A r oh. That's

0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:35.000
<v Speaker 1>like Vader eleu Vader. That sounds like Darth Vader. Two

0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:39.240
<v Speaker 1>species were made directly by the Creator God and it's

0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:43.600
<v Speaker 1>little c little g elves in humans called men in

0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:47.000
<v Speaker 1>the Middle Earth lore, the l's were spread across the

0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:51.359
<v Speaker 1>world in mated pairs, while humans were held back until

0:23:51.359 --> 0:23:58.879
<v Speaker 1>a later time. So according to this else Predate Humans

0:23:59.400 --> 0:24:00.919
<v Speaker 1>Psychicoma book. But go ahead.

0:24:01.040 --> 0:24:03.600
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking more like the al you know, alpha test.

0:24:05.440 --> 0:24:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Alpha. Oh my god, that's hilarious to be little there's

0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:11.560
<v Speaker 1>still alpha.

0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:15.720
<v Speaker 1>It's like little dogs or the Barquie, the ones that

0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:18.760
<v Speaker 1>scare everybody because they just bark constantly, and it's like

0:24:18.920 --> 0:24:22.480
<v Speaker 1>they're like little they're the elves and they are alpha elves.

0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:29.439
<v Speaker 1>So you know, it's funny. We've been doing this show

0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:33.399
<v Speaker 1>for many years now. I think we're coming upon another

0:24:33.400 --> 0:24:39.080
<v Speaker 1>anniversary for this show, probably our fifth. In your anniversary,

0:24:39.320 --> 0:24:45.359
<v Speaker 1>and you know you've been calling me Elf. I get

0:24:45.440 --> 0:24:50.760
<v Speaker 1>text conversation. I am called Elf within my family. So

0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:53.679
<v Speaker 1>the only one who doesn't call me that is Susanne,

0:24:56.160 --> 0:24:59.880
<v Speaker 1>and I'm glad because that'd be weird. But I'm called

0:25:00.280 --> 0:25:04.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot, and so I don't know we've ever talked

0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:09.320
<v Speaker 1>about the origin story of when I kind of got

0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:11.800
<v Speaker 1>that name and it wasn't me, but it had to

0:25:11.800 --> 0:25:16.200
<v Speaker 1>do with you, and that's the funny part. So I

0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:23.080
<v Speaker 1>was working at Fox and you know, listen, my last days,

0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:27.639
<v Speaker 1>last years at Fox were pretty wild, right because Mom died,

0:25:27.920 --> 0:25:29.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, like there's a lot of death that I

0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 1>dealt with. It was it was really the beginning of

0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:38.000
<v Speaker 1>what my spiritual journey. It began there, like full swing

0:25:38.040 --> 0:25:41.280
<v Speaker 1>there and I spent so much time there, so I mean,

0:25:41.359 --> 0:25:46.679
<v Speaker 1>how does it not affect everything around me? And we met,

0:25:47.280 --> 0:25:51.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, in that time early early, And there's a

0:25:51.200 --> 0:25:56.000
<v Speaker 1>really good friend of mine named Alison. And Alison I

0:25:56.040 --> 0:26:00.440
<v Speaker 1>think Allison's a dwarf, but because she little and or

0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:05.840
<v Speaker 1>she feisty, and I love her. She's like been such

0:26:05.840 --> 0:26:09.080
<v Speaker 1>a great friend. She's like that friend that only tells

0:26:09.119 --> 0:26:11.520
<v Speaker 1>you the truth and there's no other option, you know

0:26:11.600 --> 0:26:14.840
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. Ye love that. Oh she's great. She

0:26:14.920 --> 0:26:17.159
<v Speaker 1>used to rewrite my emails. She's like, you have to

0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:21.280
<v Speaker 1>quit being so emotional, and this is how it right.

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:23.959
<v Speaker 1>I mean literally, she would like I would send her

0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:27.040
<v Speaker 1>an email before I sent it out usually highly charge.

0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:29.920
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't every day I sent Alison my emails, but

0:26:30.000 --> 0:26:32.399
<v Speaker 1>like the highly charged one, and I would send to

0:26:32.480 --> 0:26:35.040
<v Speaker 1>her and she would rewrite them and almost every time,

0:26:35.440 --> 0:26:39.280
<v Speaker 1>you can't be so emotional, this isn't about you, And

0:26:39.359 --> 0:26:41.879
<v Speaker 1>she would rewrite at least parts of my email. So

0:26:42.119 --> 0:26:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I love her for that. I learned a lot from her.

0:26:45.000 --> 0:26:50.879
<v Speaker 1>And we were talking about you, and because she's the

0:26:50.880 --> 0:26:53.280
<v Speaker 1>one that brought you to the Poulter Guy set, if

0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:59.480
<v Speaker 1>you recall Allison. Yeah, And we were just talking about,

0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:02.000
<v Speaker 1>like I don't know, just all sorts of things all

0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Brenda and I go, well, what if we do this

0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:06.760
<v Speaker 1>and that? And da da da. She's like, she's you're

0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:11.480
<v Speaker 1>like an elf. You're just run around doing shit. And

0:27:11.640 --> 0:27:14.320
<v Speaker 1>she's like, you're Brenda's elf. She goes, because you don't

0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:18.320
<v Speaker 1>do this for anybody. She's ying, you're just like and

0:27:18.400 --> 0:27:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I said, am I hollowing out trees and baking cookies?

0:27:21.400 --> 0:27:27.920
<v Speaker 1>She goes, you probably are. So I think a dwarf

0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:35.760
<v Speaker 1>anointed me in health? That is awesome. Do you wanted

0:27:35.760 --> 0:27:37.359
<v Speaker 1>to know all the pieces of that story? I did.

0:27:37.880 --> 0:27:39.920
<v Speaker 2>No, I did not know all the pieces to that story.

0:27:40.000 --> 0:27:42.919
<v Speaker 2>I did not that hilarious. Yeah, that is very, very funny.

0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:46.560
<v Speaker 2>It's good to know that. I just somehow parts of

0:27:46.560 --> 0:27:49.600
<v Speaker 2>that story came to me, and I didn't know that

0:27:49.680 --> 0:27:52.840
<v Speaker 2>other people didn't call you out because.

0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:55.879
<v Speaker 1>Susan, Oh no, oh, you thought that that was a

0:27:56.000 --> 0:28:01.280
<v Speaker 1>name for me pre Yeah, yeah, like B b B

0:28:01.800 --> 0:28:02.840
<v Speaker 1>before Brenda.

0:28:03.000 --> 0:28:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I just thought that was kind of a moniker

0:28:05.359 --> 0:28:06.400
<v Speaker 2>for you, because.

0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:09.560
<v Speaker 1>No, it's a B after Brenda, because.

0:28:09.640 --> 0:28:12.320
<v Speaker 2>You do kind of run around and help.

0:28:12.359 --> 0:28:16.000
<v Speaker 1>For sure, for sure, you like, I don't steal babies.

0:28:15.800 --> 0:28:19.880
<v Speaker 2>But well sometimes you do think of it this way, yeah,

0:28:19.920 --> 0:28:23.359
<v Speaker 2>because you'll you'll get it. You'll see someone's idea that

0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:27.680
<v Speaker 2>you love. Oh, and you'll be like, we're blowing that out.

0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's fair. You're right. I do steal babies. Yeah,

0:28:30.280 --> 0:28:33.800
<v Speaker 1>you steal babies. Yeah, you're right. It sounds worse than

0:28:33.800 --> 0:28:36.120
<v Speaker 1>it really is, but yes, you are. I don't steal

0:28:36.160 --> 0:28:37.640
<v Speaker 1>physical babies, human babies.

0:28:37.960 --> 0:28:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but it's more it's more like a you're right, more.

0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Like a dola. There you go. I like that. But

0:28:44.760 --> 0:28:47.239
<v Speaker 1>you thought that people called me that before. No, it

0:28:47.280 --> 0:28:49.200
<v Speaker 1>was Allison and she named it, and you know what

0:28:49.240 --> 0:28:51.600
<v Speaker 1>odds are she was was probably twirling around in her

0:28:51.640 --> 0:28:54.600
<v Speaker 1>head at some point or another. You too.

0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:55.840
<v Speaker 2>You two are well matched.

0:28:56.440 --> 0:28:59.000
<v Speaker 1>We are so well matched. It's so funny. I love

0:28:59.000 --> 0:29:02.600
<v Speaker 1>her so much. But here's the funny thing about it is,

0:29:03.440 --> 0:29:07.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think again, whether you believe, you don't

0:29:07.800 --> 0:29:12.080
<v Speaker 1>believe that I be characteristics things that reflect you, and

0:29:12.120 --> 0:29:14.360
<v Speaker 1>you embrace. And I have to tell you it's really

0:29:14.400 --> 0:29:17.400
<v Speaker 1>fun you know, I mean it is. It's like I

0:29:17.440 --> 0:29:20.520
<v Speaker 1>love calling you wichi poo, and I love like elf

0:29:20.640 --> 0:29:23.800
<v Speaker 1>and all that kind of stuff, because, you know, because

0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:29.080
<v Speaker 1>their school is hard, and whenever we have a chance,

0:29:29.280 --> 0:29:32.360
<v Speaker 1>I think to be playful, I think that we should

0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:35.280
<v Speaker 1>embrace it. And so I completely embrace the elf thing.

0:29:35.440 --> 0:29:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I completely embrace all of that. And you know, even

0:29:38.680 --> 0:29:41.360
<v Speaker 1>to the degree of you know, it's funny, because I

0:29:41.400 --> 0:29:44.800
<v Speaker 1>seriously have a pattern. When we got our cat, Booger,

0:29:45.240 --> 0:29:47.240
<v Speaker 1>I named him Booger. He was named it was a

0:29:47.320 --> 0:29:50.480
<v Speaker 1>terrible name. It was nearly as fun and people would say, well,

0:29:50.480 --> 0:29:52.360
<v Speaker 1>why'd you name your cat Booger? And I said, because

0:29:52.400 --> 0:29:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I want to laugh every time I say his name.

0:29:55.120 --> 0:29:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I remember, and and that was achieved. And you know,

0:29:59.000 --> 0:30:01.360
<v Speaker 1>have a sticker on the back windshel of my car,

0:30:01.480 --> 0:30:06.040
<v Speaker 1>and it's of an alien ship and it has like

0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:09.200
<v Speaker 1>the light coming down onto earth, like the beam, you know,

0:30:11.160 --> 0:30:16.720
<v Speaker 1>and it says get in loser, and I had and

0:30:16.760 --> 0:30:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I put it on there because I just want to

0:30:18.680 --> 0:30:21.080
<v Speaker 1>laugh every time I walk up to my car. So

0:30:21.240 --> 0:30:24.120
<v Speaker 1>anytime I'm called Elf, it just makes me giggle. I've

0:30:24.120 --> 0:30:28.360
<v Speaker 1>had people like have written, texted, called and said I

0:30:28.400 --> 0:30:31.720
<v Speaker 1>want to be in elf in training. And that means

0:30:31.800 --> 0:30:34.640
<v Speaker 1>that like there's power behind and that power is in

0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:37.640
<v Speaker 1>control power, but like there's energy, but the energy is

0:30:37.640 --> 0:30:41.480
<v Speaker 1>a better there's energy behind it, and and it's fun

0:30:41.600 --> 0:30:44.080
<v Speaker 1>and it just makes I think things more playful. And

0:30:44.120 --> 0:30:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I really really really can't wait to meet when in

0:30:46.120 --> 0:30:48.720
<v Speaker 1>real life and Iceland and have them like pull me

0:30:48.760 --> 0:30:54.320
<v Speaker 1>over for a little while, just for minute without transporting

0:30:54.320 --> 0:30:55.360
<v Speaker 1>you to the other dimension.

0:30:55.680 --> 0:30:58.320
<v Speaker 2>But I do mind to say biz about the elfin

0:30:58.400 --> 0:31:03.120
<v Speaker 2>world is that they do meet us in the earth plane. Yes,

0:31:03.320 --> 0:31:06.120
<v Speaker 2>And so they don't usually show up in meditation, they

0:31:06.120 --> 0:31:08.960
<v Speaker 2>don't usually show up in dreams. You will see them,

0:31:09.360 --> 0:31:14.880
<v Speaker 2>like I said, in those thresholds between two spaces like doorways, windows,

0:31:16.200 --> 0:31:18.120
<v Speaker 2>sewer grades apparently.

0:31:17.960 --> 0:31:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Apparently right, so you see scary clowns too.

0:31:20.920 --> 0:31:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, but this is this is so just seeing

0:31:24.840 --> 0:31:25.840
<v Speaker 2>know where to look for else.

0:31:26.400 --> 0:31:29.080
<v Speaker 1>So that's just one quiet yeah, and it's so funny.

0:31:29.120 --> 0:31:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Stay dreams. Can I tell you really quickly about a

0:31:30.840 --> 0:31:33.840
<v Speaker 1>dream that I had the weird So this is off

0:31:33.880 --> 0:31:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the subject and I'll end it. It just remind if

0:31:36.720 --> 0:31:38.760
<v Speaker 1>you said dreams. And this is the craziest thing ever.

0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:41.840
<v Speaker 1>It's two mornings ago. I woke up and I'm like,

0:31:41.960 --> 0:31:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I woke up with that what the fuck is happening

0:31:44.080 --> 0:31:45.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of thing? You know what I'm talking about? Right,

0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Not like I'm scared, but like, what the fuck, like

0:31:48.360 --> 0:31:51.479
<v Speaker 1>is this real? So here's what's happened. Suzanne and I

0:31:51.560 --> 0:31:54.840
<v Speaker 1>have been watching a lot, like two series actually that

0:31:54.960 --> 0:31:59.840
<v Speaker 1>are about like a teenage kid like committed like committing

0:31:59.840 --> 0:32:02.640
<v Speaker 1>a murder and the parents covering up for it. Oh yeah,

0:32:02.640 --> 0:32:05.080
<v Speaker 1>this is on net. It's called Your Honor, Like that's

0:32:05.120 --> 0:32:05.640
<v Speaker 1>one of them.

0:32:06.600 --> 0:32:09.479
<v Speaker 2>And we were watching that. That was a good series.

0:32:09.960 --> 0:32:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's really good. Okay, well, but like he's there's

0:32:13.720 --> 0:32:18.920
<v Speaker 1>a cover up that's happening, and so it was the

0:32:18.960 --> 0:32:23.880
<v Speaker 1>strangest thing. So I woke up and I woke up

0:32:23.920 --> 0:32:26.080
<v Speaker 1>from this place where I was being questioned by the

0:32:26.120 --> 0:32:29.360
<v Speaker 1>police about my whereabouts and all I had, and I

0:32:29.360 --> 0:32:32.840
<v Speaker 1>told him I was I was a murderer apparently, and

0:32:32.920 --> 0:32:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I and the evidence that it was all about the evidence.

0:32:35.120 --> 0:32:36.960
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't about the murder. It was about the evidence,

0:32:37.760 --> 0:32:39.720
<v Speaker 1>and it was about some invitation. I'm like, well, I

0:32:39.760 --> 0:32:41.480
<v Speaker 1>have the invitation, like well, but normally you get a

0:32:41.480 --> 0:32:44.800
<v Speaker 1>handwritten whatever back. Well I didn't have the handwritten whatever back.

0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:46.800
<v Speaker 1>And then I wake up and I'm like, what the fuck.

0:32:47.440 --> 0:32:49.520
<v Speaker 1>It was the craziest thing, but like the power of

0:32:49.600 --> 0:32:54.200
<v Speaker 1>stories and how they can seep in to like that space,

0:32:55.080 --> 0:32:58.200
<v Speaker 1>it was and I going because he's in as always

0:32:58.240 --> 0:33:00.840
<v Speaker 1>up before I am, and I'm like, say, it's like

0:33:00.880 --> 0:33:03.640
<v Speaker 1>when I go, did I murder somebody? And she's like

0:33:03.960 --> 0:33:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. And it was in.

0:33:08.920 --> 0:33:11.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, now I can go back to sleep. Okay, thanks said, yeah, no,

0:33:11.880 --> 0:33:12.400
<v Speaker 2>for real, it was.

0:33:12.600 --> 0:33:15.160
<v Speaker 1>It was crazy. But but you said dreams they don't
