Speaker 3: This is Strange with Joshua Warren.
Speaker 1: I am Joshua Bee Warren't and each week on this show,
Speaker 1: I'll be bringing you brand new mind blowing content, news, exercises,
Speaker 1: and weird experiments you can do at home, and a.
Speaker 3: Lot more.
Speaker 1: On this edition of the show, The Magic of Real Gold.
Speaker 1: I have always been fascinated by why that people are
Speaker 1: so engrossed with gold. It's the most mysterious substance in
Speaker 1: a way, because it's it's universally prized and if you
Speaker 1: talk to you know, typical gold experts, they'll just say, well,
Speaker 1: it's because it's pretty and because it's rare. Well, you know.
Speaker 1: But the thing is, there are lots of other things
Speaker 1: that are also pretty and rare, but they're just not
Speaker 1: as much as gold. I mean, they don't sort of
Speaker 1: form the foundation for economies. And I of course there's
Speaker 1: a mystical element to this, duh. I'm going to get
Speaker 1: into that. But I was recently reading this book called
Speaker 1: The Power of Gold, The History of an Obsession, written
Speaker 1: by Peter L. Bernstein, and this was well, it has
Speaker 1: copyrights in two thousand and twenty twelve. It's a big, thick,
Speaker 1: heavy book, also an audiobook, four hundred and thirty two pages,
Speaker 1: and here's what it says. On page one, the author
Speaker 1: talks about a man named John Ruskin, who was an
Speaker 1: English writer and philosopher back in the day, and the
Speaker 1: book says about one hundred years ago, John Ruskin told
Speaker 1: the story of a man who boarded a ship carrying
Speaker 1: his entire wealth in a large bag of gold coins.
Speaker 1: A terrible storm came up a few days into the voyage,
Speaker 1: and the alarm went off to abandoned ship. Strapping the
Speaker 1: bag around his waist, the man went up on deck
Speaker 1: jumped overboard and promptly sank to the bottom of the sea.
Speaker 1: Asks Ruskin, now as he was sinking, had he the
Speaker 1: gold or had the gold hymn? This kind of exemplifies
Speaker 1: that love hate relationship that people have with I guess
Speaker 1: wealth in general, but especially gold, because it is just
Speaker 1: a medal. But you know, it's very unlike most other materials,
Speaker 1: Unlike any other element on Earth. Almost all the gold
Speaker 1: that has ever been mined is still around, whether it's
Speaker 1: in museums or in coins, or on fingers and necks,
Speaker 1: and of course who knows how much might be at
Speaker 1: the bottom of the sea. Here's how rare gold actually is.
Speaker 1: If you piled all the gold ever found in all
Speaker 1: of history into one solid cube, you could fit it
Speaker 1: aboard any one of today's great oil takers. Okay, any
Speaker 1: one ship. One ship could hold all the gold. And
Speaker 1: there's math in this book to prove that. Says here
Speaker 1: on page three quote and Cairo, you will find a
Speaker 1: toothbridge made of gold for an Egyptian forty five hundred
Speaker 1: years ago, and its condition is good enough to go
Speaker 1: into your mouth today. Here's something else that I always
Speaker 1: thought was very interesting. When you look back at the
Speaker 1: usefulness of gold. Gold is almost as soft as putty.
Speaker 1: Now I know that some of you will find this
Speaker 1: hard to believe, but listen, this is true. You can
Speaker 1: draw an ounce of gold one ounce of gold out
Speaker 1: into a wire that is almost fifty miles in length,
Speaker 1: or hammer it into a sheet that would cover one
Speaker 1: hundred square feet. That's one ounce of gold. And anytime
Speaker 1: I bring up measurements on this show, I always try
Speaker 1: to be considerate of those of you who live in
Speaker 1: other parts of the world. So when I'm saying an
Speaker 1: ounce of gold could be turned into you're talking about
Speaker 1: basically like a shot glass of gold could be turned
Speaker 1: into fifty miles that is eighty point four kilometers. And
Speaker 1: let's see here one hundred feet to meters. Is this
Speaker 1: conversion stuff? Is all is in the way? Okay, So
Speaker 1: that's thirty meters. So you can hammer an ounce of
Speaker 1: gold into a sheet that's thirty square meters as well. Okay.
Speaker 1: So anyway, it does have some amazing physical properties. And
Speaker 1: the symbol for gold, do you know what it is
Speaker 1: like if you go to the periodic table or what
Speaker 1: you know what the symbol is, it's a you well,
Speaker 1: why is that just a bit of trivia. Well, it
Speaker 1: derives from the Latin word orum, just like aurora, which
Speaker 1: just means shining dawn. That's the thing. It's a shiny,
Speaker 1: vibrant thing. And really people worship the sun. It does
Speaker 1: seem to provide much of the life on Earth. We
Speaker 1: used to think the sun provided all the life on Earth,
Speaker 1: and then scientists found these little worms that live at
Speaker 1: the bottom of the ocean and they never get access
Speaker 1: to sunlight and just live off the heat. But you
Speaker 1: get the And you know, my buddy Jim Marris, the
Speaker 1: late Jim Marris, he wrote he wrote a lot of
Speaker 1: great books. One of my favorites was called Alien Agenda,
Speaker 1: and that book came out, I think in nineteen ninety eight,
Speaker 1: and that was one of the books in which he
Speaker 1: talked about the Ananaki theory that Zechariah Sitchen helped to popularize.
Speaker 1: And you know, the idea is that, well, the reason
Speaker 1: that gold was originally so valuable to humans was because
Speaker 1: that it was valuable to the aliens who came here,
Speaker 1: the ancient astronauts who made contact with those early humans
Speaker 1: and even manipulated their genes because in a nutshell, these
Speaker 1: aliens they had all this advanced genetic technology and propulsion,
Speaker 1: et cetera. But they needed gold. Why. I'll get to
Speaker 1: that in a second. So the idea is that they
Speaker 1: came here and they fold some primitive form of human being,
Speaker 1: and then they manipulated our genes to make us more
Speaker 1: suitable for the purpose of mining gold, and they enslaved
Speaker 1: humans to go out and mine gold. And now, according
Speaker 1: to the interpretations of sichen, that's because that well, gold
Speaker 1: does have a lot of different wonderful uses, but one
Speaker 1: of them is that supposedly, if you have, say, an
Speaker 1: atmosphere on your planet that is going that's degrading, you
Speaker 1: can actually sprinkle gold dust in the atmosphere and it
Speaker 1: will reflect harmful radiation and it will reinforce a weakening
Speaker 1: atmosphere and save everybody on the planet. This is just
Speaker 1: one of the theories that was brought up. I don't
Speaker 1: is that true. I don't know. I really don't know,
Speaker 1: but it does kind of help to explained possibly why
Speaker 1: that gold was so valuable from the very beginning of
Speaker 1: human history, if indeed it was because that it was
Speaker 1: valuable to these other beings. And you know, when you
Speaker 1: get into like this whole story of gold I mean
Speaker 1: for thousands of years, you know, all these cultures have
Speaker 1: treasured it above all else. In the Bible, God commands
Speaker 1: that sacred things like the Arc of the Covenant be
Speaker 1: covered in gold. Why the wise men brought gold to
Speaker 1: baby Jesus. Why all of the world's most powerful leaders,
Speaker 1: like the Pharaohs would adorn themselves with gold necklaces, and
Speaker 1: these amazing gold caps were crafted and put onto the pyramids.
Speaker 1: And of course you hear a lot of talk about
Speaker 1: what we call the golden ratio and art which is
Speaker 1: based on mass. And what's especially interesting when it comes
Speaker 1: to this idea that maybe gold was important to these
Speaker 1: ancient astronauts, is that, you know, even in modern times,
Speaker 1: when NASA sent this disc into space to last Forever
Speaker 1: that had all this information about humanity on it in
Speaker 1: case aliens ever found it. On the Voyager spacecraft, it
Speaker 1: was covered in gold, called the Golden Record. I mean,
Speaker 1: there are other examples of this, and of course I've
Speaker 1: even read that I guess may I don't know if
Speaker 1: all of them, but many of the visors that astronauts
Speaker 1: wear have some kind of gold coating on them, because again,
Speaker 1: it's good at protecting them from harmful radiation. So there
Speaker 1: are all these interesting elements about space travel that may
Speaker 1: also connect to the valuable properties of gold. So you know,
Speaker 1: we're talking about something here that it's not just about
Speaker 1: having beauty alone, but a real physical quality that makes
Speaker 1: gold a truly unique and durable and powerful substance. Well,
Speaker 1: I could just you know, go on and on with examples,
Speaker 1: but I decided to do an experiment with some real gold,
Speaker 1: all right, And when we come back from the break,
Speaker 1: of course, I'm going to tell you about it. And
Speaker 1: I'm actually going to save you some money because it's
Speaker 1: not cheap to experiment with gold. So I spent the
Speaker 1: money on the gold, and I'll tell you what I
Speaker 1: did with it. But you know what, I do believe
Speaker 1: that money, and well money attracts money, gold attracts gold,
Speaker 1: and I think it's good karma to give cool things away.
Speaker 1: Just recently, I gave away this really amazing Zoltar machine.
Speaker 1: It's a big one. It's worth hundreds of dollars. Of course,
Speaker 1: you know, I have my Haunted Older City tour in
Speaker 1: Nevada and that's where they make the Zoltars. But I
Speaker 1: bought this, I paid paid money for it and I
Speaker 1: gave it away for free to a lucky person, and
Speaker 1: all you have to do is subscribe to my E newsletter.

Speaker 1: I am Joshua pe Warren, and you are listening to
Speaker 1: Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Speaker 1: Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will be right back. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast.
Speaker 1: I am Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, the
Speaker 1: Wizard of Weird, Joshua P. Lauren, beaming into your wormhole
Speaker 1: brain from my studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada,
Speaker 1: where every day is golden and every night is silver.
Speaker 1: Gietato Zuome And one nice thing about being the Wizard
Speaker 1: of Weird, about being the host of this podcast is that,
Speaker 1: you know what it's if you If you think I'm crazy,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I'm not running for off us, I'm
Speaker 1: not flying an airplane or driving a school bus. So
Speaker 1: if you think I'm nuts, it's okay. I don't care.
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you that because really, something about the
Speaker 1: idea that thousands of years ago aliens came here and
Speaker 1: manipulated human genes and turned us into gold mining slaves,
Speaker 1: something about that rings true to me. I have no
Speaker 1: way of knowing, and I'm not going to pretend that
Speaker 1: I know, and I'm not going to say I believe that,
Speaker 1: but there's something about it that just so perfectly fills
Speaker 1: in some interesting gaps in our history that I think
Speaker 1: that that may be true. And of course, in my
Speaker 1: book The Secret Wisdom of Cucko Kahn, I explored that
Speaker 1: concept some. In fact, you know, I recently did a
Speaker 1: show where I was talking about how that Over the years,
Speaker 1: I have pitched a lot of TV shows and some
Speaker 1: have been made and most not. But you know, it's
Speaker 1: it's pretty amazing when you pitch an idea for a
Speaker 1: show and the next thing you know, it's on a
Speaker 1: major TV channel. And Jim mars Man, he was just
Speaker 1: such a great intelligent guy. And you know, we and
Speaker 1: I were close enough that back in the day, like
Speaker 1: he would come to North Carolina and crash at my
Speaker 1: house and then I crashed at his house in Texas
Speaker 1: and we went on tour together. We did TV shows together,
Speaker 1: I mean, and he died in twenty seventeen. But in
Speaker 1: the years leading up to his death, we actually worked
Speaker 1: together to produce a treatment, which is a proposal for
Speaker 1: a TV series based on his book Alien Agenda, And
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people who were interested, but
Speaker 1: it just never quite took off. And then you know,
Speaker 1: when Jim died, well, I didn't feel inspired to continue
Speaker 1: pursuing it. But you know, even though I don't want
Speaker 1: to produce TV stuff anymore, because I just I've done,
Speaker 1: been there, done that, I don't have the time, I've
Speaker 1: got the treatment. So if somebody out there listening, if
Speaker 1: you're in TV land, and you're a serious person with
Speaker 1: some serious street cred, then if you contact me, I
Speaker 1: might just send you the treatment for Alien Agenda. And
Speaker 1: of course, if you want to pursue it. I'll have
Speaker 1: to talk to Jim's family and everything, but I think
Speaker 1: it would make an amazing TV series. But let's get
Speaker 1: back to yeah, the mystery of gold. Right. So I
Speaker 1: have never really been the kind of dude who wears
Speaker 1: a gold chain. And I don't know it just it
Speaker 1: never quite seemed like my style, you know, to wear
Speaker 1: gold chain. I dropped the paper here, so I did wonder, however,
Speaker 1: like why is it that you see so many rich
Speaker 1: people wearing gold and especially gold chains? And granted, also
Speaker 1: I'm here in Las Vegas, and that changes the dynamic
Speaker 1: a little bit, But almost everywhere I go I see
Speaker 1: people wearing gold chains. And it doesn't have to be
Speaker 1: some rich person at the blackjack table or the crafts table.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm talking like it could just be a
Speaker 1: waiter or you know, it's it's so prevalent and everybody
Speaker 1: loves that bling. And I started wondering, Okay, is it
Speaker 1: true that maybe there's something to this this idea. It
Speaker 1: goes back to I guess law of attraction that gold
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I guess why we value it. We
Speaker 1: just know that we do. That's that's not debatable. So
Speaker 1: does gold attract more gold. And here I live in Nevada,
Speaker 1: which is the number one gold producing state in North America.
Speaker 1: It's one of the top in the world. I believe
Speaker 1: the top four gold producers in the world are Russia, China, Australia,
Speaker 1: and then North America only because of Nevada, which is
Speaker 1: it's a little odd because they call this the silver state,
Speaker 1: but we produce more gold than anybody here. And so
Speaker 1: you have all of like the best gold people you
Speaker 1: can find in this part of the world, or they're
Speaker 1: all right here in Nevada. And so I said, Okay,
Speaker 1: I want to I want to get to the bottom
Speaker 1: of this. I'm going to try this out. I'm going
Speaker 1: to buy a nice gold chain and I'm gonna spear
Speaker 1: amit with it and see if it really does seem
Speaker 1: to attract more fortune. And so the thing is, I
Speaker 1: knew nothing about how to determine the authenticity of gold,
Speaker 1: and I just always have this feeling when I walk
Speaker 1: into a store that sells gold that they're going to
Speaker 1: try to rip me off. It's just like it always
Speaker 1: seemed like I don't know what I'm doing. But but
Speaker 1: guess what, just so happens that I know a master
Speaker 1: artisan who lives here in the US, and he's the
Speaker 1: guy who makes the electrum rings. And so I contacted
Speaker 1: him and I said, look, I want to buy a
Speaker 1: really nice like ten carrot chain. And you might say
Speaker 1: why ten carrot, Well, because gold is soft, as I said,
Speaker 1: so if you're gonna wear something like a chaine, especially
Speaker 1: a big chain, you want it to be durable. And
Speaker 1: so ten k is a much more durable version of
Speaker 1: gold than if you had something that was hired. So
Speaker 1: I said, ten k is great. And that way, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't have to be so afraid I'm gonna something's
Speaker 1: going to happen to this thing when I'm out wearing
Speaker 1: it in public. So I said, look, can you hook
Speaker 1: me up with the real deal? He said absolutely. Now
Speaker 1: what I can tell you is that this chain does
Speaker 1: not come from China, all right, I will tell you
Speaker 1: that because I know just about everything you buy these
Speaker 1: days is made in China. This ain't a Chinese chain, okay.
Speaker 1: And so this thing, I've got a twenty four inch
Speaker 1: ten carrot chain and it's the real deal. And even
Speaker 1: though I trust him absolutely, I still thought, like, if
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about this, I want to go
Speaker 1: and have this independently tested. So I took this to
Speaker 1: an independent laboratory right here in Las Vegas, and they
Speaker 1: took it and they have it's basically like a spectrograph
Speaker 1: or something like that, where they hit this thing with
Speaker 1: a beam and they came back and they're like, Yep,
Speaker 1: it's exactly what supposed to be. It's like, this is
Speaker 1: the real deal. This is the real goal chain. And
Speaker 1: then they tried to buy it from me. I was like, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not selling that. So this is the real deal.
Speaker 1: So I was like, okay, I know I've got a
Speaker 1: legit product here. Now it's time to start experimenting. So
Speaker 1: here's the first thing I did. I took it to
Speaker 1: my laboratory here in Vegas, my laboratory where I have
Speaker 1: all my electrical stuff, my Tesla coils and everything, and
Speaker 1: I decided that I wanted to fire some high voltage
Speaker 1: electricity through it and basically kind of like wipe it
Speaker 1: clean of any other electromagnetic signatures that might be in there.
Speaker 1: And maybe that just sounds like udo science to you,
Speaker 1: but you know, it reminds me of how like you
Speaker 1: could take a nail and the nail like a you know,
Speaker 1: like a metal nail, and it doesn't have any magnetic pull,
Speaker 1: it's not picking up paper clips. And then you can
Speaker 1: stroke it three or four times or more or ten
Speaker 1: times or whatever, stroke it over a magnet. All of
Speaker 1: a sudden, the nail becomes magnetized. It changes the properties,
Speaker 1: and now you can use it just like a magnet
Speaker 1: and you can pick up paper clips. So I got
Speaker 1: my chain and I started blasting it using a Whimshurist generator,
Speaker 1: a Vandergraft generator, and yes, even some Tesla coil set
Speaker 1: up and just blasted this thing. And I think I
Speaker 1: did that for okay. So I did that probably for
Speaker 1: about thirty minutes. Then after I felt like I had
Speaker 1: sort of cleansed it by by polarizing it to some degree,
Speaker 1: or maybe un polarizing it. I just don't know. This
Speaker 1: is an experiment. I put it in a warm bass
Speaker 1: in my laboratory, in my parisigmatics laboratory, and I played
Speaker 1: the money tone in the water and let it sit
Speaker 1: there in that tongue for twenty four hours. So this
Speaker 1: is a little different than just buying a gold chain
Speaker 1: and putting it on and walking out the door. I
Speaker 1: did all this stuff to it. Well, the next day
Speaker 1: I said, okay, let's see what happens. Vegas is a
Speaker 1: big laboratory for good luck and good fortune. And I
Speaker 1: know that you probably think I'm just like the world's
Speaker 1: most degenerate gambler because I talk about gambling all the time,
Speaker 1: but I don't actually go out and gamble very often
Speaker 1: at all. I mainly just go out and do it
Speaker 1: if I want to experiment with things. And because again
Speaker 1: it's a it's a great laboratory. You know, when you
Speaker 1: go out to a casino, they don't have any interest
Speaker 1: in twisting the odds in your favor. Okay, So so anyway,
Speaker 1: so I go out and uh, okay, well we're up
Speaker 1: on a break here. But the cool thing is I
Speaker 1: videotaped everything that happened to me while I was wearing this,
Speaker 1: And if you want to see some of it, go
Speaker 1: to therealgold Chain dot com. That's our e a L
Speaker 1: that's my website that I created. I put a video
Speaker 1: up there. It's like, I don't think it's more than
Speaker 1: five minutes long, and it'll show you the process that
Speaker 1: I put this thing through. And then you'll actually see well,
Speaker 1: people like handing me piles of cash. When we come back,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you more about that, and then also how
Speaker 1: it kind of applies to what's happening in general right
Speaker 1: now within our economy, because you know, there is an
Speaker 1: effort going on right now to turn us into a
Speaker 1: cashless society, and that's something you might want to be
Speaker 1: prepared for. We'll dig into some of that and more
Speaker 1: when I come back here. It's an interesting topic for sure.
Speaker 1: I'm Joshua pe Warren, and you're listening to Strange Things
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast I AM Paranormal
Speaker 1: Podcast Network, and I will be back after these important messages.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeart Radio and
Speaker 1: Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host,
Speaker 1: Joshua Pee Warren, and this is the show where the
Speaker 1: unusual becomes usual. Now listen. Nobody likes the braggart. I
Speaker 1: get that. And when I'm telling you these stories about
Speaker 1: how I go out and have all this luck and
Speaker 1: win money and stuff here in Vegas, I'm not telling
Speaker 1: you that because I'm trying to impress you. I'm telling
Speaker 1: you that because I'm trying to impress upon you. The
Speaker 1: idea that you might also be able to benefit from this.
Speaker 1: If you are a person who is interested in experimenting
Speaker 1: with gold, find yourself some legitimate gold, and you know,
Speaker 1: do whatever you think you should do to it in
Speaker 1: order to magnify its power. Of course, that's why I
Speaker 1: videotaped what happened to me, so that if you go
Speaker 1: to the real gold chain dot com you can just
Speaker 1: watch the actual footage. And I am going to make
Speaker 1: a batch of these that are done exactly the same
Speaker 1: way as I did mine. So if you do want
Speaker 1: to participate, well, at least you'll know if you're getting
Speaker 1: one of these from my website, you'll know it's the
Speaker 1: real deal, and you can go have it tested and
Speaker 1: all that if you have any doubts, and you'll know
Speaker 1: that you know you're not getting scammed or ripped off.
Speaker 1: But regardless of whether or not you get one from
Speaker 1: my laboratory. And I'm only gonna do this for it
Speaker 1: as an experiment, because I want to see if other
Speaker 1: people have similar experiences. I understand gold's expensive, and if
Speaker 1: you can't, you know, if you don't have some gold,
Speaker 1: then you know, maybe you can go out and find
Speaker 1: a smaller amount of gold that you can experiment with
Speaker 1: as well. But here's one of the things that makes
Speaker 1: a big difference to me. I realized that when I
Speaker 1: was buying the gold chain, the original one that I
Speaker 1: experimented with, I almost felt like I actually wasn't spending
Speaker 1: money because gold just keeps going up in value, so
Speaker 1: it's almost like you're not actually buying anything, you're making money.
Speaker 1: I mean, in the year two thousand, an ounce of
Speaker 1: gold was worth two hundred and seventy nine dollars, and
Speaker 1: right now as I'm recording this, that same ounce is
Speaker 1: worth well over two thousand dollars. It's probably over twenty
Speaker 1: five hundred at this point. So if you had a
Speaker 1: time machine and you can go back to the year
Speaker 1: two thousand and buy a bunch of gold up, think
Speaker 1: of how happy you would be right now. So scientifically,
Speaker 1: here's what I can tell. I don't understand exactly what's
Speaker 1: happening here and how this works. All I know is
Speaker 1: that a lot of rich people wear gold, and when
Speaker 1: I I did this and I wore it, then sure
Speaker 1: enough it was just like not just gambling. Though I
Speaker 1: got to check out of the blue for a very
Speaker 1: large amount of money. I'm and you'll see that in
Speaker 1: the video. I won a raffle. I like it. It
Speaker 1: was not just gambling. It was like just good stuff
Speaker 1: started coming to me. And maybe it's the mindset. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Even if it's one of those things where
Speaker 1: it's the world's greatest place, ebo. Fine, but I'm studying this,
Speaker 1: and uh, I'm trying to get deeper into the mystery
Speaker 1: of gold and why this stuff has this ability, because
Speaker 1: it does seem to be more than just well, it's
Speaker 1: pretty and shiny and looks like the aurora or whatever.
Speaker 1: So you know, obviously though, since gold fluctuates, the price
Speaker 1: goes up and down and up and down. I mean, like,
Speaker 1: if you're lucky enough to get one of those chains,
Speaker 1: whether you get a real piece of gold for me
Speaker 1: or you get it somewhere else, if you're lucky enough
Speaker 1: to get a real one, then you better hang on
Speaker 1: to it because that it's just I believe it's just
Speaker 1: going to continue rising in value. And you've heard that
Speaker 1: your whole life, so it's a heck of an investment.
Speaker 1: And also, I've never okay, I did something recently that
Speaker 1: I've never done in my entire life. I've never been
Speaker 1: a big sports guy. I mean when I was in school,
Speaker 1: you know, I played some sports here and there, but
Speaker 1: I was never any remarkable athlete, and so I have
Speaker 1: never really just been enthusiastic about going out and experiencing
Speaker 1: sporting events. But literally less than fifteen minutes from my
Speaker 1: house here in Las Vegas is Allegiance State, which is
Speaker 1: where they held the last Super Bowl. Allegiate stadium was
Speaker 1: just built several years ago and it holds sixty five
Speaker 1: thousand people. They can expand it if they want to
Speaker 1: hold more, like I think, well over seventy thousand if
Speaker 1: they make some adjustments. And in my whole life, I
Speaker 1: had never been to an NFL game. I'm talking football,
Speaker 1: and for those of you who listen around the world,
Speaker 1: I mean American football. I know that in other places
Speaker 1: they call what we call soccer, they might call football,
Speaker 1: but I'm talking American football. And so I decided to know,
Speaker 1: you know, this place that's down the road for me,
Speaker 1: I've never even been there for anything. I want to
Speaker 1: see what the stadium's like. So I got online and
Speaker 1: I bought tickets for myself and Lauren to go see
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders. They used to be the la Raiders,
Speaker 1: but then they moved to Vegas, so it's now the
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders play the San Francisco forty nine ers, and
Speaker 1: apparently they have some kind of a rivalry because I
Speaker 1: guess they're both from California. So I said this would
Speaker 1: be cool, and so I said to Lauren, I bought
Speaker 1: the tickets. And you know, they claim that these are
Speaker 1: some of the most expensive tickets in the whole NFL
Speaker 1: for some reason, these Raider games here in Vegas. But
Speaker 1: it's a big, nice stadium. So I bought the tickets
Speaker 1: and I said to Lauren to tell you watch. Maybe
Speaker 1: this is stupid, but I am going to place a
Speaker 1: bet on one of the teams, which one I think
Speaker 1: is going to win, and that bet, if I win,
Speaker 1: will be enough to cover the price of the tickets.
Speaker 1: So it will be like we to go to this
Speaker 1: NFL game for free. How smart is that? Of course,
Speaker 1: if I lose, then it's going to really suck because
Speaker 1: I will have spent a lot more than the tickets
Speaker 1: are worth. So that was my brilliant plan. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I just have to win, that's all, and then it'll
Speaker 1: be like, you know, free experience. So anyway, the day
Speaker 1: came around. This is actually less than a week ago,
Speaker 1: and so we got into an uber because we knew
Speaker 1: we were going to enjoy ourselves and be drinking and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So we got an uber. And one
Speaker 1: thing that I realized right up front though, as I
Speaker 1: was doing research about, like, well, what is it like
Speaker 1: to go to the stadium? How easy is it to
Speaker 1: get in and out? They can hold again at least
Speaker 1: sixty five thousand people, and they said no cash whatsoever.
Speaker 1: Everything has to be done on a card. And I
Speaker 1: understand the convenience of that in many ways, but I
Speaker 1: also realized that this is the direction that we're heading
Speaker 1: as a global society, trying to move into this like
Speaker 1: cashless digital thing, and that should make everybody a little
Speaker 1: nervous because that means that all your money is going
Speaker 1: to be on a computer somewhere, and if one day
Speaker 1: that computer messes up, well, what are you going to
Speaker 1: do about it? Well, everybody has so much faith in
Speaker 1: technology it's scary. And so that's why, you know, one
Speaker 1: of the reasons I was thinking about this. At least
Speaker 1: gold is a physical thing that has some intrinsic value,
Speaker 1: So Anyway, I don't usually talk about sports on this show,
Speaker 1: so give me a pass on this one, all right,
Speaker 1: because this was interesting that we got off, and I
Speaker 1: will tell you it was a beautiful day. It was
Speaker 1: a Friday, and the uber dropped us off within very
Speaker 1: close walking distance. I was concerned it was going to
Speaker 1: be a headache to get into this place with all
Speaker 1: these crowds, and it turns out that it was actually
Speaker 1: quite easy to get in and out. They had a
Speaker 1: lot of entry points open, and then once we got
Speaker 1: in there, we were able to find our seats pretty easily.
Speaker 1: They can have a little better labeling of the seating sections,
Speaker 1: but we had a great view of the entire field
Speaker 1: and everybody was very nice. They had great helpers and
Speaker 1: customer service people all over the place that were very
Speaker 1: friendly and kind and would give you any information you wanted.
Speaker 1: It was extremely secure. There was there are you know,
Speaker 1: cops all over the place, and everything was clean. I mean,
Speaker 1: it actually turned out to be a very positive, impressive eperience.
Speaker 1: And of course after we got our seat, we got
Speaker 1: up and we're like, okay, well let's just go do
Speaker 1: the traditional Let's get some hot dogs and nachos and
Speaker 1: cheese and a couple of beers, and so anyway, then
Speaker 1: the game starts. All right, so here we are sitting there,
Speaker 1: and of course it is annoying when you have people
Speaker 1: that are just screaming their heads off all the time.
Speaker 1: You can see I'm getting I'm getting a little old now,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm pushing the boundaries toward fifty there,
Speaker 1: so you know that's I can do without all the
Speaker 1: screaming constantly. So anyway, the game starts and the team
Speaker 1: that I bet on, I'm not going to tell you
Speaker 1: who it was, but the team that I bet on
Speaker 1: was just slaughtering the other team. I'm like yes, And
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I think I'm going to go
Speaker 1: on my app here, my sports betting app and maybe
Speaker 1: even bet more money. But but by halftime, scores were
Speaker 1: much much closer. Some surprising things happened. We have to
Speaker 1: take a break. When we come back, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: how that turned out. And then I want to share
Speaker 1: a story with you that I got from a listener
Speaker 1: about something really well thought provoking that happened to him
Speaker 1: at his house after he did a magic ritual, and
Speaker 1: it raises a very interesting question about our Society. I'm
Speaker 1: Joshua wa Pee Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio and Ghost to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network,
Speaker 1: and I will be right back. Welcome back to the
Speaker 1: final segment of this edition of Strange Things on the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I
Speaker 1: am your host, Joshua P. Warren. And if you are
Speaker 1: going to do something to manifest good fortune or wealth,
Speaker 1: it's true that you need to do it quickly. You
Speaker 1: have to strike when the iron is hot. As they say,
Speaker 1: my buddy Tom Rillock says, quote the subconscious mind tends
Speaker 1: to thwart your plans in quote, meaning that sometimes if
Speaker 1: you wait too long, then all of a sudden, these
Speaker 1: doubts and this kind of self sabotage happens. One of
Speaker 1: my favorite authors, Joe Vially says money loves speed. So
Speaker 1: remember those things. The subconscious mind tends to thwart your
Speaker 1: plans and money loves speed. So if you feel compelled
Speaker 1: to do something that you think is going to manifest
Speaker 1: something positive for you and change your life, do it
Speaker 1: like that. Just be decisive. I remember I think it
Speaker 1: was while Bill Hiccock It was asked one time how
Speaker 1: he survived so many gunfights he was an old gunslinger
Speaker 1: in the Old West, and he said, just decisiveness. He said,
Speaker 1: most men would freeze up at the last moment, and
Speaker 1: he goes, I made up my mind I was going
Speaker 1: to do it, and I did it. So at the
Speaker 1: football game halftime, uh again, I mean they were pretty close.
Speaker 1: And then, let me just tell you, it was one
Speaker 1: of those situations where again the Raiders are playing the
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. I got a significant amount of money
Speaker 1: on it, enough money that if I win, it's going
Speaker 1: to cover the cost of my tickets. And so there
Speaker 1: was some tension there, and at the last minute there
Speaker 1: was one of these kind of crazy, miraculous things that happened,
Speaker 1: which if you watch sports, you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: And they tied. The two teams tied, and then I
Speaker 1: learned something new that day about the NFL, because ordinarily,
Speaker 1: when two teams are tied at the end of the
Speaker 1: football game in American football, then they go into overtime
Speaker 1: and they play a little bit longer until one team
Speaker 1: or the other wins. But it turns out that this
Speaker 1: was the last of what they call a preseason game
Speaker 1: because the official season wasn't in just yet. And so
Speaker 1: what that means is that they decided just a few
Speaker 1: years ago that in preseason games, if they tie at
Speaker 1: the end, that's the end of the game. They're tied,
Speaker 1: there's no overtime. And so I'm going, okay, well, what
Speaker 1: does that mean for my bet? They tied? Everybody's hugging. Well,
Speaker 1: turns out I just got my bet returned to me
Speaker 1: by the sports betting app. So I did not win,
Speaker 1: nor did I lose. And if you are somebody who
Speaker 1: bets on sports, maybe you knew that. But if not,
Speaker 1: now you know that if you bet on a preseason
Speaker 1: NFL game and they tie, nobody wins or loses anything.
Speaker 1: So sorry if you're not at all into sports, and
Speaker 1: I'm totally bored you with that, but you can see
Speaker 1: why that. Since this place is down the road from
Speaker 1: my house, I had to go and try it out.
Speaker 1: And again, I had a fun time, had a good time.
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, I have no plans to
Speaker 1: go back and do it again, but I'm happy to
Speaker 1: say that I went to an NFL game. All right,
Speaker 1: let's go to the emails. Here is one from a
Speaker 1: man in Virginia. And you know, I could probably give
Speaker 1: his name out and he'd probably be okay with it.
Speaker 1: But I'm not one hundred percent sure, so I'm not
Speaker 1: going to do that. But I guarantee you that this
Speaker 1: is legit and I know who he is, and he said.
Speaker 1: One of my friends called me one evening. He was
Speaker 1: having issues. He was going through a bad patch with
Speaker 1: his wife and they were separating. She was an alcoholic
Speaker 1: and a drug addict and was threatening violence to come
Speaker 1: and hurt him and the children. He was very concerned.
Speaker 1: He asked me to do a reading for him, or
Speaker 1: to see something for him, as he knew I once
Speaker 1: had the ability to do such things. It had been many,
Speaker 1: many years since I had done anything like that, and
Speaker 1: I really never did develop any great skill in it.
Speaker 1: I didn't enjoy doing it, and I told him so,
Speaker 1: but I also told him that I would do so
Speaker 1: to see if I could help him. Now. There was
Speaker 1: much anxiety in doing this. It had been many years
Speaker 1: again since I had done such things. I don't generally
Speaker 1: do such things, and I prepared the gear. I have
Speaker 1: certain objects that I like to keep around for when
Speaker 1: I actually do real working. Many of these needed a
Speaker 1: bit of polishing and care before I did so, so
Speaker 1: I spent a few minutes polishing and cleaning my torque,
Speaker 1: my triscual, various things, and also got out the wand
Speaker 1: this was actually a very special electrum. Tipped you Wand
Speaker 1: I started my binding ritual in the usual fashion. The
Speaker 1: intent and purpose of the working was to have her
Speaker 1: just turn herself in peacefully and seek the mental help
Speaker 1: that she required. And I felt really good about the binding.
Speaker 1: I felt that it had worked. I also felt to myself,
Speaker 1: this is me? Where have I been all these years?
Speaker 1: I was kind of reveling in the post ritual glow
Speaker 1: and putting away my things when something very very odd happened.
Speaker 1: Let me pause for a moment and say, that's I've
Speaker 1: never heard anybody talk about the post ritual glow before,
Speaker 1: but I liked that phrase. It reminds me of something else.
Speaker 1: All right, let's continue. Not five minutes after the complete
Speaker 1: not five minutes after the completion of my ritual, bright
Speaker 1: lights and helicopter appeared outside of my house. They were
Speaker 1: shining the lights directly down into my yard and on
Speaker 1: my house. We did not hear it. It just popped
Speaker 1: up out of nowhere. Generally we can hear those things
Speaker 1: for several miles before before they fly over, and this
Speaker 1: one literally did just come out of nowhere. It hovered
Speaker 1: out there for three or four minutes, shining its lights
Speaker 1: down into our yard, and then just as quickly and
Speaker 1: quietly as it came, it was gone. It was the
Speaker 1: strangest thing. Does this mean that they monitor such activity?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it was quite odd. The results
Speaker 1: of the binding. It was successful, no harm was done,
Speaker 1: and she turned herself in by the morning. Wow, what
Speaker 1: an interesting message. Thank you sir, you know who you are.
Speaker 1: Thank you for sending that. I wrote him back, and
Speaker 1: I said, this is a good story, all right. I personally,
Speaker 1: I have a feeling that we're either being consciously monitored
Speaker 1: or that the energy we create produces some synchronicities that
Speaker 1: attract them to us. And this is a very complex
Speaker 1: and weird idea. But as soon as I read his message,
Speaker 1: and he also followed up and told me about a
Speaker 1: second occasion in which something like this happened, it reminded
Speaker 1: me of this experience I had. This was many years ago,
Speaker 1: at least fifteen. I was living at the top of
Speaker 1: a hill in North Carolina, out in the countryside, and
Speaker 1: I had a bunch of friends over. As a matter
Speaker 1: of fact, Mikah Hanks was there. You might know Michah Hanks.
Speaker 1: His brother Caleb was there. And I had gone out
Speaker 1: into my front yard that evening with a Chinese lantern,
Speaker 1: and you probably know what that is. It's it's sort
Speaker 1: of like a paper balloon, and then you light a
Speaker 1: little candle and it heats the balloon up and it
Speaker 1: becomes like a little hot air balloon and it floats
Speaker 1: off into the sky and it's absolutely amazing. And so
Speaker 1: I said, hey, let's go set off this, you know,
Speaker 1: this Chinese lantern. So we went outside and I lit
Speaker 1: the thing and I let go of it, and it
Speaker 1: drifted off higher and higher into the sky and we
Speaker 1: just watched it just become a tiny, tiny dim light
Speaker 1: until it was gone, and I thought, I hope that
Speaker 1: doesn't come down and burn somebody's house, but you know,
Speaker 1: they never do it. And then right after that thing disappeared,
Speaker 1: black helicopter comes flying over the house, crazy, shaking everything,
Speaker 1: shining lights. I was like, oh my gosh, I've maybe
Speaker 1: I've messed up somehow. Right then the helicopter flies away,
Speaker 1: and then about one minute later, I kid you not,
Speaker 1: I swear this is true, the Chinese balloon reappears, and
Speaker 1: it gets bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger, and
Speaker 1: it's circling back, and it's dropping an elevation and dropping
Speaker 1: an altitude, and it's coming back toward us. And I
Speaker 1: reached up and plucked it from the sky before it
Speaker 1: ever hit the ground. Now you explain that I don't
Speaker 1: know what that means, but that was one of the
Speaker 1: freakiest experiences I've ever had, and that I swear it
Speaker 1: is true. All right, my friends, it's that time. Take
Speaker 1: a deep breath, if you can close your eyes, let's
Speaker 1: all meditate together on the good Fortune tone. That's it
