This 17 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: is my first new recording of the year three. This 18 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: is January and last Christmas Day, December two. As Lauren 19 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: and I were sitting at home enjoying the festivities, talking 20 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: about peace on earth and goodwill, tours all and love 21 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: and generosity and all these wonderful things. Somebody at the 22 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: same time was robbing my store of JUnit talk about 23 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: some granchy stuff. Mean, isn't that It's so sad. I'm 24 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: going to tell you what was stolen. But the thing is, 25 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: there's some really weird stuff here surrounding this whole story, 26 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: and so I will get into that. And uh, you know, 27 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: I sent out a newsletter recently and I said, you know, 28 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: I got some bad news I'll tell you about. So look, 29 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: I'm fine, Lauren's fine, everybody's okay. But um, it's just 30 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: really unfortunate when something like this happens on Christmas Day. 31 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: So we're gonna dig into all of that and a 32 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: lot more. But first, most of my holiday break, because 33 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: you know, I took off quite a quite a while 34 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: for the holidays, had a lot of kids up to 35 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: do here at my new house in Las Vegas. Um, 36 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: most of my holiday experience was wonderful, and I want 37 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: to tell you first about some of the great things 38 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: that happened before I get to that. Though, I just 39 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: made a note of this. This is pretty random, but 40 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: I wanted to mention this before I forgot. Of course, um, 41 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: the latter part of was taken up in large part 42 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: by media coverage of the terrible murder of these four 43 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: college students in Idaho who were all stabbed to death 44 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: in the middle of the night. And uh, I I 45 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: just recently realized that that murder spree took place on November, 46 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: and instantly I was like, that's a familiar date, because 47 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: of course I am from Asheville, North Carolina. That's where 48 00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: I was born and raised, and November is the anniversary 49 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: of Asheville's largest mass murder killing spree, the Will Harris murders, 50 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: and those happened in nineteen oh six. So now there are, 51 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: at least in my world to famous kind of murder 52 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: sprees that happened on November. So maybe that's another one 53 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: of those bad luck dates that we have to start 54 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: paying attention to from here on out. So again, kind 55 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: of random, but thought provoking, nonetheless. Okay, So before I 56 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: get into this weird story about what happened to me 57 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: on Christmas, and I trust me, I know a lot 58 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: of you had a rough time this past holiday season, 59 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about all all that as well. 60 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: But first I'll tell you about some of the good 61 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: things and really interesting things that happened to me. Producer 62 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: Tom dan Heiser, he came here to Las Vegas and 63 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: he invited me to go see a John Fogerty concert 64 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: with him at the Win and he had these premost seats. Now, 65 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: of course, John Fogerty, he he created basically, you know, Credence, 66 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 1: Clearwater Revival c c R. And he more or less 67 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: wrote and performed all those famous songs. And he is 68 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 1: I think seventy seven years old, yeah, seventy seven, and 69 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: he still gets up on stage and dances and sings 70 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: and plays like you wouldn't believe. It's just like, you know, 71 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: you never I couldn't get up there and perform like 72 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: this guy does. And and he's a lot older than 73 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: I am. And Tom and I had such a blast 74 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: because one of the things that is impressive is that, uh, 75 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: you don't realize it until you sit there and you 76 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: listen to this guy performed for you know, an hour 77 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: and forty five minutes. You don't realize like every single 78 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,679 Speaker 1: one of his songs was a hit, you know them all. 79 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: I don't even know how many hits the guy had. 80 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: Um and that's it's just kind of mind boggling to 81 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: sit there and have this guy packed, you know, two 82 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,679 Speaker 1: hours with hits and he could have kept going. I'm sure. 83 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: So what a talented a songwriter. But I do want 84 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: to mention this because sometimes, since I live here at Vegas, 85 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: when I get to go see people in person, um, 86 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: they'll tell a story about about their lives that stands 87 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: out in my mind, and I like to pass those 88 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: stories along to you. I did that recently with Wayne 89 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: Newton and so John Folgretty at one point he was 90 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: standing there on stage and he was pausing for a 91 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: moment and he said, you know, um, I uh, I 92 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: played Woodstock. You know, he was at Woodstock and uh 93 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: he was a lot of big events in the nineteen sixties. 94 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: And as a matter of fact, he said much Woodstock 95 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: was just so muddy and rainy that you know, he 96 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: wrote one of his songs about the when when will 97 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: the rain? And I can't remember what the song was called. 98 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: He wrote a number of songs about rain. But anyway, 99 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: so he said that, Uh, when he was there on 100 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: stage at Woodstock, you know, he was playing this favorite 101 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: guitar of his and uh, he used his guitar all 102 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: over the country, if not the world, for many many years, 103 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: and his performances, and he said one day, he goes, 104 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: he didn't get into details, but he goes, I met 105 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: this like the little boy who wanted to be a 106 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: rock star and he was trying to learn guitar and 107 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: he didn't have a guitar. And he goes, I don't know, 108 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: I got overcome, and he said, I I gave this 109 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: kid my prize guitar. You know, I just gifted it 110 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: time and uh he didn't say at that time, he 111 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: John Fogerty did not say if he was in the 112 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: right state of mind, but he certainly said that he 113 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: regretted it. The next day he missed that guitar. Right, 114 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: the guitar he played at Woodstock he gave to some 115 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: random kid. Now, I bet you think the end of 116 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: this story is gonna be like and that kid became 117 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: Eddie Venner, Right, you know that would be But no, 118 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: it doesn't end like that at all. As a matter 119 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: of fact, this kid apparently did nothing with this guitar 120 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: and it was just lost. And uh so he always, yeah, 121 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: he he was always like missing this guitar. And then 122 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: a few years ago. On Christmas morning, he goes over 123 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: to the tree at his house and there's a big 124 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: box there and he opens it and guess what. It's 125 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: this guitar. His wife. His wife, and I knew how 126 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: much he loved that guitar, and she'd spent all this 127 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: time like tracking that thing down and bringing it back 128 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: into his life. And he he said it was like 129 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: the best Christmas present ever. And he says, and this 130 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: is that guitar, and he lifts it up and he's 131 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: holding that guitar and then he starts playing songs on it. 132 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: So I mean, like, I love these kind of like 133 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: strange stories about synchronicity and the twist and turns the 134 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: life takes and how things like that can I'm back 135 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 1: to you, so you know, it was just it was 136 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: an awesome time and Tom and I just had a 137 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: wonderful evening in Las Vegas.

But you're not gonna 142 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,719 Speaker 1: hear anything in your head for like the next week 143 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: or two except John Fogerty songs that drives you crazy. 144 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: So that was awesome. Speaking of music, you know I've 145 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,599 Speaker 1: talked I. I have been calling him Jim Colonna, the composer, 146 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: but it's Jim Cologna. He's he's he's from Italian descent, 147 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: Jim Cologna. He never corrected me. That's what a nice 148 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: guy he is. Jim Cologna. He is the guy who 149 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: was so inspired by the work that I've done over 150 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: the years that he composed this work of music called 151 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: Joshua Shop of Miracles and Curiosities, and it was performed 152 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: recently near Washington, d C. And um, it's a fantastic 153 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: piece of music. I played part of it for you 154 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: on this show. Not too long a go. And after 155 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: all these years of corresponding with Jim, I'd never gotten 156 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: to meet him in person. He was in Las Vegas, 157 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: and so Lauren and I got together with him for 158 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: an evening, and boy did we hit it off. As 159 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: soon as we sat down and started talk. Well, you know, 160 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 1: we embraced as soon as we met each other, and 161 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: then it was just like we were old friends. We've 162 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: known each other forever.

Welcome back to Strange Things 211 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,599 Speaker 1: on the I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast to 212 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: M Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host, the Wizard of Weird, 213 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: Joshua pe Warren, beaming into your wormhole brain from my 214 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: student took in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada, where every 215 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: day is golden and every night is silver. Before I continue, 216 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: I did look it up during the break and the 217 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: John Fogerty song that I was referring to is called 218 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: Who'll Stop the Rain? And uh, I know if I 219 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: leave stuff like that hanging, It's gonna drive some of 220 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: you insane. Who Stop the Rain? But he made another 221 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: song or two about rain, but that was the one 222 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: that he said he wrote when he got back to 223 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: his his motel room after playing Woodstock. But anyway, let 224 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: me tell you about this trip that I took that 225 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: turned out to um lead me down an interesting road 226 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: of thought. So um, being from the East Coast, growing 227 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: up in the mountains of western North Carolina, I was 228 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: always is used to Christmas feeling very Christmas e. You know, 229 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: you've got trees everywhere and snowfall and all kinds of um, 230 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: kind of like European decorations everywhere. It seemed like, you know, 231 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: the Old Country. But out here in the desert when 232 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: you live in Las Vegas, no matter what they do 233 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: to decorate, it just never quite feels Christmas E out here. 234 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: And for one thing, you're almost certainly not going to 235 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: get any snow. But yeah, the the desert. And it's 236 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: ironic because you know, well the whole Christmas story is 237 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: based in the Middle East, so so the desert is 238 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,479 Speaker 1: really a more Christmas e and I like an authentic 239 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: Christmas environment. Then what we think of is this whole 240 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: like European Bavarian st Nicholas kind of you know. But anyway, look, 241 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: it's just about what you are exposed to when you 242 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: grow up. But so since we've lived here in Vegas 243 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: for several years, um, we we always uh, you know, 244 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: if we don't travel somewhere else, if we kind of 245 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: stick around here, we're like it just doesn't quite feel, 246 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: you know, like Christmas time. And so I was wondering about, like, 247 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: what would a relatively easy road trip be that we 248 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: could take to go somewhere that's a little more Christmas eve. 249 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: And if you drive a few hours uh from here 250 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: into California, then you eventually can wind your way up 251 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: this huge mountainous region that's like over seven thousand feet 252 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: in elevation to a place called Big Bear Lake. And 253 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: Big Bear Lake is named after after the grizzly bears 254 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: that used to live there. There are no more wild 255 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: grizzlies in California. I consider that a good thing, but 256 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: you know, some people disagree. Uh. Nonetheless, it's really weird 257 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: because you know, to get there, and it takes you 258 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: if you if you're gonna stop and get gas and eat, 259 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: you know, it's like a four hour drive from Las 260 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: Vegas the Big Bear Lake, and I was I did 261 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: a lot of research on it, and it turns out 262 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,199 Speaker 1: that it was exactly like I was expecting because you 263 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: go through the Mojave Desert and it's like desert up 264 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 1: until like the last forty five minutes, and all of 265 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: a sudden there's just dramatic change where you just drive 266 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: up this big, long, super steep winding road up and 267 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: all of a sudden there's their forests everywhere and streams 268 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: and there's the lake. And then finally get to the 269 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: village and Big Bear Lake and it looks like a 270 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: little village in a snow globe and everything is all 271 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: like rustic hunting lodge style and old, like old old 272 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: European and Bavarian, and uh, it looks like a little 273 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: Christmas town. I used to tell people when I first 274 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 1: found it, it it looks like a town in a Hallmark movie. 275 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 1: And then I got there and I realized, oh, they 276 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: actually do shoot Hallmark movies in this town. And it 277 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 1: gets a ton of snowfall. It's very, very isolated. So 278 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: it really was exactly what I was looking for in 279 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,199 Speaker 1: terms of this is the most Christmas ee place that 280 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,719 Speaker 1: you're gonna get to. Uh that's within a reasonable period 281 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: of driving from from Las Vegas to my knowledge, Big 282 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 1: Bear Lake, California. And I'll tell you a little bit 283 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: more about the lake in a minute. So we ended 284 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: up going there. Had had a great Christmas, Uh, like 285 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: a couple of days. It's always spent, but you know, 286 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: we've never been there before. It's it's really small. We 287 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: walked every where we went, and we hit up all 288 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: the shops and the bars, and I was exposed to 289 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: cookie dough whiskey, which actually is really really good, but 290 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 1: I think I drink a little too much of it, 291 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 1: and then um, also, uh, it's just like lots of 292 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 1: of just quirky, little little themed gift shops. It was. 293 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: It was cool. It was really cool, but it was 294 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 1: also quite cold. It was thirteen degrees while we were there, 295 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: which I know some of you listening are like, ah, 296 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 1: but that's always gonna happen because some of you live 297 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: where it's like negative thirty fahrenheit. And if you do that, 298 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: you're just I guess the only good thing about that 299 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 1: is you get to say ha ha, you know, a 300 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: little a little pansy too people like me when I 301 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: complain about being thirteen. Other than that, everything else about 302 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: it probably sucks really bad. But anyhow so, it was 303 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: a cool place to to visit, and all these celebrities 304 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: have headhouses there, But here is kind of the creepy 305 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: thing I wanted to share with you. So I before 306 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: I go to a new place, I do all this 307 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: research and I learned everything I can about it, and 308 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: I read all the tourist stuff and watched all the 309 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 1: videos about Big Bear Lake, California, and I thought I 310 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: knew everything about it. But it turns out there's something 311 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: that they don't promote about Big Bear Lake, and uh, 312 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,479 Speaker 1: I can see why in retrospect. I only found it 313 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: because I was digging deep, like I was going within 314 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: like layers and a footnote level, and I was like, 315 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:17,400 Speaker 1: oh wait, so okay, here's the story. Um. My wife, 316 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: Lauren is probably the luckiest lady in the world. Um, 317 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: whether she realized it or realizes it or not, because 318 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: I am her husband. She's married to me, and that 319 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: means that she is always being told amazing stories about 320 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: the world, whether she wants to hear them or not. 321 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: So I'm like having your own living podcasts there that's 322 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: giving you, you know, breaking news and stories. It's like 323 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: it's like being married to this podcast. I'm always that's 324 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: you know, you're getting the real me, um, minus the curse. 325 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: And so uh So we get in the car and 326 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: she's doing the driving, which is great because she's a 327 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: much better driver than I have ever been. And so 328 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: we're we're heading off to California, and I go, Okay, Lauren, 329 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: listen to this. So here's the story. Um. In in 330 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:26,719 Speaker 1: the early nineteen eighties, Steven Spielberg was on a movie 331 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: set and one of the young ladies who was acting 332 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: on that set had her mother and her little sister 333 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: on the set also, And at one point Spielberg looks 334 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: over and he sees the mother and the little sister 335 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: at the little sisters like five years old, having lunch, 336 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: and Spielberg sees this little kid, this five year old, 337 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: and he's like, that kid's got it, you know, talk 338 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: about this is like hitting the Loto when Steve and 339 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: Spielberg looks at you and it was like, boom, you've 340 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: got And he goes up and he and he just 341 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 1: like starts talking to him, and it turns out this 342 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 1: little girl is Heather oh Rourke. At this point, Spielberg 343 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: is looking to cast Poltergeist, which of course is the 344 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: super famous horror movie that came out in nineteen two, 345 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: and uh, in fact, they just um, they just re 346 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: released it this past October. You know, it was an 347 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: anniversary thing. Where Lauren and I went and watched on 348 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: the big screen again, and you know, it was a 349 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: fun movie to watch again, but not nearly as impressive 350 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: as it was. And you know, the nineteen eighties. One 351 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: thing that I always thought was interesting about Poltergeist as 352 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: you've got the special effects, but also you have uh 353 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: it was one of the earliest or one of the 354 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,360 Speaker 1: first movies that showed like the modern day esque paranormal 355 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: investigators going in to to do the job. And I'm sure, 356 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 1: you know, watching stuff like that probably inspired and affected me. 357 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: So anyway, he was gonna Spielberg was thinking about casting 358 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: Drew Barrymore, but instead he was like, Nope, you're the one, 359 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: and he cast Heather O. Rourke. Uh turn, and I'm 360 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: sure Drew Barrymore's people were very upset. But then she 361 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: went on to be an Et, which was a much bigger, 362 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: better role, so it worked out. Don't feel sorry for 363 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: Drew Barrymore on this one. So um So, Heather Rourke 364 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,959 Speaker 1: became famous as the little girl and the poulter Geist 365 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: movie who is just entranced by the television with the 366 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: static on it, and then of course she basically gets 367 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 1: kind of sucked into the TV and then they're trying 368 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: to rescue her from this other dimension the whole time. 369 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: Very eerie concept combining spirituality and electronics and all that stuff, 370 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: which was very uh, very prescient in retrospect. So anyway, 371 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: this movie becomes a huge hit. So this little five 372 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: year old girl, Heather o. Rourke, she's like an overnight sensation. 373 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 1: And her family was relatively poor. They were from southern California. 374 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: And instantly they like, they signed her up for sequels, 375 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: and it's just money like they've they've never seen their 376 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: and their family starts pouring in and so this little 377 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: five year old becomes this cash cow. And once the 378 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 1: money starts pouring in, well, the parents decide that, hey, 379 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: it's time to buy another house somewhere. I don't know 380 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: if it was a vacation home or if it was 381 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: they considered a primary residency, but they chose to buy 382 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: a house and Big bear Lake, California, this place that 383 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: Lauren and I were on our way to visit, this 384 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: little hallmark town, Big bear Lake, California. So they buy 385 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: this nice house there and she starts attending class there. 386 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: I think they said she was even like a class 387 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: president or something, and when she was in the fifth grade. 388 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. Things seem to be going well for 389 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: this family, but when we come back from this brig 390 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,719 Speaker 1: things take a terrible twist, and it has to do 391 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: with them living in Big Bear Lake. I'm Joshua pe Warren. 392 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: You're listening to Strange Things on the I Heart Radio 393 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: and Coast to Coast, a paranormal podcast network that I'll 394 00:25:23,760 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 1: be right back after these important messages. Welcome back to 395 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: Strange Things on the I Heart Radio and Coast to 396 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: Coast to m PIR on normal podcast network. I am 397 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: your host, Joshua P. Warren, And this is the show 398 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: where the unusual becomes usual. You know, Steven Spielberg did 399 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: not direct the movie poulter Geist. He produced it and 400 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: he has a screen writing credit, But the director was 401 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: Toby Hooper, who was most famous for creating the Texas 402 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: Chainsaw Massacre. You know, he wrote and directed that and 403 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 1: the guy he hired to shoot that, the director of photography, 404 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: was named Daniel Pearl. And when I was I've talked 405 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 1: about this on the podcast before. When I was working 406 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: for Warner Brothers movie The Apparition, I was on the 407 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: set in California one evening and it was really late 408 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: and everybody was tired, and they were shuttling the cast 409 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 1: and crew back and forth from uh the set to 410 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: you know wherever um. I got seated next to this 411 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: guy and I didn't know who he was, and I 412 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: started chatting and it was Daniel Pearl. So I I 413 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: got like fifteen or twenty minutes to have this conversation 414 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: with the guy who who actually shot the Texas Chainsaw massacre. 415 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: So that was cool that that's like six degrees of 416 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: separation from Kevin Bacon. But anyway, look back to the story. 417 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: So Heather O. Rourke's family, they buy this house in 418 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: Big Bear Lake and that's where they start living a 419 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 1: good chunk of the time. And uh, she keeps pulling 420 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 1: in money and then finally she's like twelve years old 421 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: and uh, one day she gets really sick. They don't 422 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,199 Speaker 1: know what's wrong with her, and they started taking her 423 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: in for all this testing, and long story short, turns 424 00:27:55,200 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: out that she had been drinking the well water there 425 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 1: in Big Bear Lake, California, and there was some kind 426 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:09,239 Speaker 1: of parasite in it that got into her system and 427 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 1: she had some kind of super sensitive system and ultimately 428 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: it led to her dying from some kind of septic shock. 429 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: That said, then when she was twelve years old. Isn't 430 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: that horrible? And you may or may not know that. 431 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: There is this whole phenomenon regarding like the Curse of 432 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: that movie poultr Geist. All these different people who were 433 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: involved with that movie had or many of these people 434 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: had had bad things that happened to them, tragic endings. 435 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: It's like the Curse of King Tutt. Documentaries have been 436 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: made about it. But but she is one of the 437 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:58,959 Speaker 1: central figures there. So that was just an eerie thing. 438 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: And I wondered, and I got the Big Bear Lake 439 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: if anybody would talk about it, and nobody did either 440 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: they didn't know or pretended that they didn't know. So 441 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: that's just a quirky little thing about Big Bear Lake, California. 442 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: But we, on the other hand, we had a fine time. 443 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: And again I've been having all kinds of of good 444 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: things occurring throughout my Christmas season all Also, uh, you 445 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: know what one thing about Big Bear Lake before I 446 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: continue into you know what happened with the robbery, uh, 447 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: is that, Uh, the Big Bear Lake, like so many 448 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: other of these bodies of water, is shrinking tremendously, and 449 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: you know how bad lake meat is getting here. And 450 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: so I told you that once it becomes the snowy season, 451 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: I want all of us listening to this podcast to 452 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: start trying to manifest historic snowfall and the Rocky Mountains. 453 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: And I had Dr Molder on a while back and 454 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: talked to him about it. He he flexes his muscles 455 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: all the time by creating snowfall in places where it's 456 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: not supposed to snow, like, uh, the Middle East. You know, 457 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: he's always sending me stories about like look what I did. 458 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: And you have to realize that we need a lot 459 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: of snowfall this year in the Rocky Mountains, in the 460 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: in the US. And here is why you might just think, 461 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: like when you live out west, I don't who cares, no, no, no. 462 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: The snowfall from the Rocky Mountains makes up the bulk 463 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: of the water that goes into Lake Mead and these 464 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: other reservoirs, and it's rainfall is not gonna do it. 465 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: It's the vast majority of it is based upon snowfall 466 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: on the Rocky Mountains. If we don't have enough water 467 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: here in Lake Mead and the surrounding lakes, and that 468 00:30:54,280 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: means we have less vegetation, less vegetables, and that means 469 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: less feed for livestock. So when there's less vegetables and 470 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: less feed for livestock, and therefore less livestock, well, then 471 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: the prices for those things go up. And when the 472 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: and they go up for everybody all over the country, 473 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: And when the prices for everybody goes up in the country, 474 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: when we're already having this inflation period, it starts creating 475 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: this chain reaction where everybody starts paying more for everything. 476 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: The whole economy gets worse. And obviously whatever is happening 477 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: in the US affects the economy dramatically and the rest 478 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: of the world. And so everybody in the world has 479 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: an interest in there being a major snowfall this winter 480 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: in the Rocky Mountains. Start doing whatever you do to 481 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,959 Speaker 1: manifest right now and start making that happen. All right, 482 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: So let's get to this strange story. Well, here in 483 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: last I I have storage units all over the country, 484 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: but I have some of my most prized possessions. I 485 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: had some of my most prized possessions and two storage 486 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: units here in Las Vegas. So last year I bought 487 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: this new house, which I'm still getting an order. I've 488 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: accomplished about fift of what I intended to over the 489 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: Christmas break, but still fift So I had two storage 490 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: units here with a bunch of goodies from my museums. Actually, 491 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: well it's I could say museum, but I have owned 492 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: different incarnations of a museum, so we're talking like Crystal 493 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: skull um, UFO crash stuff, uh, stuff from Transylvania, signed artifacts, 494 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: I mean, just all kinds of really interesting things. And 495 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: so I had them in two storage units where they 496 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: have been for five years without any problems one. But 497 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: when I got this new house, Lauren and I moved 498 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: to the other side of town, which is like thirty 499 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: minutes away. So I decided it was time to consolidate 500 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: what I had in those other two storage units where 501 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: we used to live into one new storage unit here 502 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: close to my new house. So we went and we 503 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: got a new storage unit, a third storage unit, a 504 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: bigger storage unit, which it actually turns out is more 505 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: more cost effective than having two smaller storage units on 506 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,479 Speaker 1: the other side of town. And then Lauren and I 507 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: got together with our friend Jason Sarachi, the famous UFO 508 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: videographer who lives nearby, and Jason helped us move everything 509 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: from those two storage units across town to this one 510 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: new storage unit. So I have all these goodies there 511 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: that I have plans for to put back on display. 512 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,479 Speaker 1: And here's one of the weird things though, and I 513 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: have talked about this in various places. You may have 514 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 1: heard this. When Lauren and I got this new storage unit. 515 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: It's like, this is the building is huge, and this 516 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: is an internal storage unit. And this building that's like 517 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: three or four stories tall. I don't know how big 518 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 1: it is, but it's fairly new. It's gigantic. So you 519 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 1: go in there and it's like going through a maze 520 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,879 Speaker 1: until you get up to your internal storage unit. There's 521 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: no telling how many hundreds of storage units there are 522 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,320 Speaker 1: in this place. When we went there for the first time, 523 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,360 Speaker 1: we were like the only people there. There were no 524 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: other customers. It was kind of like early on a weekday. 525 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,359 Speaker 1: And the first odd thing that happened was when we 526 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: went up to our storage unit and we were first 527 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: looking at it out of this whole place, a woman, uh, 528 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 1: just kind of a you know, normal looking lady. She 529 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: comes walking up and she opens up the storage unit 530 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: right next to ours, and we were like, that's amazing 531 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 1: of this whole place. We just got this storage unit, 532 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,919 Speaker 1: and you just happened to have this storage unit next 533 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: to ours, and we were like, what a coincidence. And 534 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 1: so we're kind of laughing and having a little friendly banter. 535 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: But I thought I just thought, like that's just one 536 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: of those odd things in life. So then fast forward 537 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 1: a few weeks later, which was last month in December, 538 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 1: we get together with Jason. We rent a U haul 539 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 1: and we we we consolidate everything. We go back to 540 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: this big storage unit building where once again there's like 541 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 1: nobody there except for us. We go in, we haul 542 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: all this stuff into into the storage unit and lo 543 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 1: and behold, guess who appears this woman who has the 544 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 1: storage unit right beside ours, And were like, what are 545 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: the chances of that? And she goes, the last time 546 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 1: I was here was when you were here, and we 547 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: go that's the only time we've ever been here. So 548 00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 1: at this point our mind is blown and and and 549 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, are you with the CIA, you know? And 550 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: I started just like joking around with this woman. We 551 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: peek into her storage unit. She has a giant telescope 552 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:15,359 Speaker 1: in there and some pretty interesting things, and so I say, well, 553 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 1: I guess we're friends now, you know. It's it's just like, so, 554 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: what are the literally, what are the chances I've been 555 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 1: to this place twice? At both times there's practically nobody 556 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: else in the building except for this woman who shows 557 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 1: up at the storage unit right next to ours. Okay, 558 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 1: so I end up I talked to her for a 559 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,919 Speaker 1: little bit and I'm like, well, you know what, maybe 560 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: you need to come out and you got a telescope 561 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,919 Speaker 1: and she goes, oh, I love the stars, and I said, 562 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 1: you maybe you need to come out and do one 563 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: f O skywatches or something, you know, Vegas UFOs dot com. 564 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 1: So anyway, we left that whole situation after transferring everything 565 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: into the new storage unit, and and I was having 566 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: this conversation with Lauren and Jason like isn't that amazing? 567 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 1: Like what again, Like, that's just it's it's almost like 568 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: phenomenon where every time you park your car, somebody is 569 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,479 Speaker 1: parking next to you or they're coming to get out 570 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: of that space next to you at the same time. 571 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. So we knew there was already something 572 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:18,760 Speaker 1: weird about the situation. Okay, So now now we're getting 573 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:23,439 Speaker 1: into what happened around Christmas time, and man, I wish 574 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 1: I had more time.

But anyway, everything was 589 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: going well for Lauren and myself up until right around 590 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 1: like that week leading up to Christmas of two and uh, 591 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,399 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, like both of us started having 592 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,360 Speaker 1: helped problems. I know, a lot of people around the 593 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:16,239 Speaker 1: world we're having uh sicknesses, and you know, it's like 594 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 1: my sister was sick in Asheville, and then we were 595 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,840 Speaker 1: having problems here and my my poor old mom and 596 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,799 Speaker 1: dad for the first time I ever had to have 597 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: Christmas with that either one of their kids present. And 598 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: then of course, you know, the weather was terrible in 599 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 1: many places, and people were being delayed or having their 600 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 1: flights canceled or stranded and literally freezing to death. I mean, 601 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 1: it was like it was just a hard Christmas holiday. 602 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 1: So anyway, but you know, again we're fine now and 603 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:56,360 Speaker 1: in terms of all that stuff, but so here we go. Um, 604 00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:02,240 Speaker 1: It's like I think the day after Christmas. Uh, Lauren, 605 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 1: she was the one who got the phone call from 606 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 1: the storage unit place saying, like, we have a very 607 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 1: important matter. Can you please call us back? And it 608 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,840 Speaker 1: was the next day before she was able to connect, 609 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 1: and they said, well, there's been a break in and 610 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: we don't think they went into your unit, but out 611 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 1: of an abundance of caution, we would like for you 612 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 1: to come here because they broke into the units like 613 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:33,840 Speaker 1: right around yours. So Lauren and I this was after hours. 614 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,319 Speaker 1: We went over to our unit, which was on one 615 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,920 Speaker 1: of the higher floors, and we thought, how weird that 616 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,360 Speaker 1: of all this, of this whole place, they broke into 617 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: units that are around ours. And we walked up to 618 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: the storage unit and the door was closed tightly and 619 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 1: the lock was on it, and everything looked fine, so 620 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 1: we assumed, like, hey, everything's gonna be okay. We opened 621 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,840 Speaker 1: the lock, we slide up the door, and all of 622 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 1: our boxes are in this array, and I go, oh, 623 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: this does not look good. And we walked over and 624 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: the first thing I saw was that one of my 625 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 1: boxes was opened and it was partially empty, and it 626 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 1: was labeled Drone d R O n E. Because that 627 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,400 Speaker 1: is where I kept my one and only drone that 628 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 1: I owned. And I'm looking around and I couldn't find 629 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,479 Speaker 1: like any evidence. I mean, like they shuffled stuff around, 630 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 1: but it it looked like that nothing else has been taken. 631 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 1: And Lauren goes, how is it possible nobody could have 632 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: gotten in here? The door was closed, the lock was 633 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 1: on there, and I go, I don't know, but somebody 634 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 1: obviously hadn't have got in here. And from what I 635 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 1: could tell, they just stole my drone. So the next 636 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 1: day we went back over there, and we went with 637 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 1: one of the employees and I said, is it is 638 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 1: it possible that somebody could have gotten in here without 639 00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: opening that door? I mean, it has to be. And 640 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 1: it turns out and these internal storage units there's a 641 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 1: little opening. It's not much. It's probably probably like a 642 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:13,479 Speaker 1: foot wide at the very top of the door. You'd 643 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: have to be really slim to get up there and 644 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 1: slip through that. Well, we went back into the storage 645 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,959 Speaker 1: unit and over on the walls of the storage unit 646 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,400 Speaker 1: are these like metal rails that you can hang things on. 647 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,399 Speaker 1: And those metal rails were dusty, and we looked over 648 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 1: and guess what, there were footprints on the metal rails. 649 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 1: So sure enough, somebody had gone to the effort to 650 00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: not break the lock or anything, but to climb up 651 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,600 Speaker 1: and go over and slip through that little space and 652 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 1: go down into our storage unit. And still that drone 653 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:57,759 Speaker 1: and it turned unfortunately nothing else was missing, just in disarray. 654 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 1: And let me tell you why that is so weird 655 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 1: that drone is it's the only drone I've ever owned. 656 00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:06,919 Speaker 1: It's not a very expensive one, and the only time 657 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 1: I've ever used it was when I first got it. 658 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,239 Speaker 1: I took it way out into the desert on the 659 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,520 Speaker 1: way to California, and I just put it up in 660 00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 1: the air and took it down just to see if 661 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:20,800 Speaker 1: it worked, and that was it. And this area around 662 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 1: Las Vegas and Nevada in general is so restrictive when 663 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:29,320 Speaker 1: it comes to drones that you hear stories about people 664 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: having their drones and stuff confiscated all the time because 665 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 1: people are going out there and recklessly flying them around 666 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,920 Speaker 1: military bases and stuff. And I have never done that, 667 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:44,319 Speaker 1: nor would I ever do that, But I thought it 668 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,840 Speaker 1: was pretty darned interesting that the only thing that was 669 00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 1: taken was that drone and the able there was nothing 670 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 1: on it. Again, I took it out almost to the 671 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:01,120 Speaker 1: California border around prem put it up in the air, 672 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:07,080 Speaker 1: and took it down, and that was it. So the 673 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 1: conspiratorial side of me says, is it possible that somebody, 674 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:17,439 Speaker 1: the men in black, wanted to make sure that I 675 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:23,680 Speaker 1: wasn't using that drone for some bad purposes? Because I 676 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,200 Speaker 1: did last year, as you know, by a piece of 677 00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,880 Speaker 1: property not far from Area fifty one and Rachel, Nevada. 678 00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:36,919 Speaker 1: And I have never attempted to take that drone out 679 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,719 Speaker 1: there uh, nor would I ever do that. As a 680 00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 1: matter of fact, I've never even tried to get close 681 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,719 Speaker 1: to the area fifty one boundary because I know that's 682 00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:48,200 Speaker 1: a real top secret military base that I just thought 683 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:51,560 Speaker 1: it was really interesting that of all the things that 684 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,719 Speaker 1: were taken, it was my drum. So that put a 685 00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:01,080 Speaker 1: really sour damper on things. But you know what, here's 686 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 1: the good part of that. I wrote about this in 687 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 1: my book, used the force. Sometimes when something happens that 688 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 1: seems bad and retrospect you look back and it was 689 00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 1: actually good. Things can't change, things can't improve unless something 690 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:19,279 Speaker 1: destructive happens. And that was an opportunity for me to say, 691 00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,520 Speaker 1: you know what, let me take the stuff out of 692 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,759 Speaker 1: this storage unit that I really care about, and it 693 00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,880 Speaker 1: was all there. I'm proud to say, I'm happy to 694 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 1: say all my cool stuff was there and I got 695 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 1: it out, and I'm not gonna tell you where I 696 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,520 Speaker 1: put it, but I got out all my cool stuff 697 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,839 Speaker 1: and it's in a much more secure area now, so 698 00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:47,360 Speaker 1: it's better protected. So no matter who you are, you 699 00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,799 Speaker 1: know you're gonna have bad luck and weird bad things 700 00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:52,719 Speaker 1: that happened to you. I I wrote about in my 701 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,680 Speaker 1: book Used The Force, which you can actually read for 702 00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 1: free right now if you go to Joshua pe Warren 703 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 1: dot com and just click the link to the book cover. 704 00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:06,959 Speaker 1: I wrote about the fact that you know, um, when 705 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:13,040 Speaker 1: you align yourself with goodness, you're actually polarizing yourself and 706 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,760 Speaker 1: and doing that, you're becoming a target for bad stuff 707 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,640 Speaker 1: as well. So you have to expect some some some 708 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:24,359 Speaker 1: bad things to happen in your life because you're you're 709 00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,560 Speaker 1: becoming like the north or the south pole of a magnet, 710 00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:32,280 Speaker 1: and you're attracting the other pole. And so this actually 711 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,520 Speaker 1: is an inspirational story because I feel like that this 712 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 1: have this happening to me gave me an opportunity to 713 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,880 Speaker 1: go in and become more responsible with what I'm putting 714 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,960 Speaker 1: into storage units, and to give a warning to all 715 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,879 Speaker 1: of you who may have a storage unit about how 716 00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,680 Speaker 1: vulnerable your stuff may be, that somebody can break in 717 00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 1: without even going through the door. And it gave me 718 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,960 Speaker 1: an opportunity to take out the stuff that I really 719 00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,759 Speaker 1: cared about and put it in a more secure your location. 720 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:07,279 Speaker 1: And so that's why I say like it was it 721 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:14,760 Speaker 1: was bad, but it actually turned out to be inspirational 722 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,799 Speaker 1: and I will tell you this though, and I had 723 00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:21,680 Speaker 1: so much more that I had planned to tell you 724 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,560 Speaker 1: in this show. But that's why I do this every week. 725 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:29,840 Speaker 1: I'll have it for you next time. Speaking of secrets 726 00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,160 Speaker 1: that are being kept in this state. Look, I don't know. 727 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:36,719 Speaker 1: I'm not here too. I'm not a whistleblower. But in 728 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,719 Speaker 1: episode seventy two of this podcast, I talked about the 729 00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:46,000 Speaker 1: blue Bunny, this weird blue bunny like plasma creature that 730 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,600 Speaker 1: is sometimes seen running around this state.
