Speaker 1: It's two thirty five am in a wide body chet
Speaker 1: somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, and you're listening to Night Call. Hello,
Speaker 1: and welcome to night Call, a podcast to keep you
Speaker 1: company on the strange days and loomi nights. My name
Speaker 1: is Emily Oshida. I am once again here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: You can't keep me away, and I am joined as
Speaker 1: ever by Molly Lambert and Tesse Lynch. Of course helloo,
Speaker 1: and of course I'm Tsolnch. Sure, I'm sure we're back
Speaker 1: together in the same room. I have just gotten off
Speaker 1: a plane from New York. It is about one thirty
Speaker 1: PM as we record this, and I woke up at
Speaker 1: local time one thirty am. So I'm just like you're
Speaker 1: in the langal Ears, which is the themes we're in
Speaker 1: a We're in an air air airflight, airflight, Yes, air flight,
Speaker 1: an aerospace travel themed episode. Um yeah, it's I feel
Speaker 1: like I've been on a zillion planes recently. I've watched
Speaker 1: a lot of succession. As I was telling Molly in tests,
Speaker 1: that's now my my plane show. So, um, have you
Speaker 1: guys seen the langle Ears. I've never seen the Langoliers.
Speaker 1: I think I read it a long time ago, dude.
Speaker 1: The TV movie of the Langle Ears is so good
Speaker 1: and scary. It's basically a minute. Uh it's a lot
Speaker 1: of things that they then ripped off for both Stranger
Speaker 1: Things and just some other monsters, like the Stranger Things
Speaker 1: monsters or the monsters are amazing because the Langaliers are
Speaker 1: like so the Langoliers of the Stephen King book about people,
Speaker 1: my boyfriend got me to watch because he remembered he
Speaker 1: would watched I think when it was on Originally. It's
Speaker 1: so scary. It's like you fall asleep on a plane
Speaker 1: and then you wake up and like almost all the
Speaker 1: people are gone except for you and a few people,
Speaker 1: and then those people try to find out what happened,
Speaker 1: like what is going on? Um, there's like nobody flying
Speaker 1: the plane or something, and basically it's like they like
Speaker 1: went in a time loop. But the Langliers are these
Speaker 1: like they're described as just like giant like dust balls
Speaker 1: that roam through space, just like eating spacetime. So they're
Speaker 1: like not sentent, they're just things. There's sort of yeah,
Speaker 1: they're sort of like tumbleweeds that like eat everything, like
Speaker 1: like space time tumbleweeds. Yeah, it's really good and I
Speaker 1: recommend it to everybody and eisode and I also like those.
Speaker 1: I I went back and watched all those eighties Stephen
Speaker 1: King like TV movie series events like The Stands. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just saw the rebooting it uh original The stand
Speaker 1: nineties TV movie to that, I feel like I'm I'm
Speaker 1: now entering the right head space for that. I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's like such a dark spot for me, all those
Speaker 1: Stephen King TV movies. I also watched the It one
Speaker 1: recently before the came out. Yeah, they're good, and they're
Speaker 1: all like a you know, there before whatever we call
Speaker 1: like the golden age of TV. But they're interesting in
Speaker 1: that it's like, yeah, it's good to make something that's
Speaker 1: like four or six parts sometimes Yeah, yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: good length. Do you guys remember Merlin? Did you watch
Speaker 1: it was an five part things? Or I feel like
Speaker 1: we mostly missed the real golden era of like part series. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but although I mean, I feel like it's kind of
Speaker 1: exists now. Like half the things that we like as
Speaker 1: shows are actually considered mini series now. But that's because
Speaker 1: now everything is like they sell it as a mini
Speaker 1: series and then if it does well, they make another season.
Speaker 1: And it's a show like a little less or American
Speaker 1: crime story. But well we can talk about that about that,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, um wait first real quick before we get
Speaker 1: into the meat of the show. I just wanted to
Speaker 1: share my recent experiences. Um, I guess in the same
Speaker 1: vein as as food moods. Uh, what's what's what's the good?
Speaker 1: What's the good? Fast fashion? Fash fashion? Fast fashion? We
Speaker 1: really need to come up with a tune for it.
Speaker 1: It can't be your recurring segments. At the end of
Speaker 1: the show, we'll have figured it out. Can it be
Speaker 1: the hot pocket song? Fast fashion? Um? I had to
Speaker 1: kill some time recently and soho uh and was walking
Speaker 1: up Broadway and decided to go into some stores I've
Speaker 1: never been in before, but it always just walked by.
Speaker 1: I think I just consider everything around there to be
Speaker 1: something that I can't afford, or it's just like I'm
Speaker 1: not in the market force, so I'm not going to
Speaker 1: go in or I'm not interested. But I went into
Speaker 1: a Noritia and I tweeted about this, which is like
Speaker 1: the most mystifying like women is fashion. It's like it
Speaker 1: is fast fashion, I guess, but it's oddly expensive. Molly
Speaker 1: looked it up and apparently it's Canadian. It's from Vancouver,
Speaker 1: And then somebody tweeted us and said they have like
Speaker 1: crazy sample sales in Vancouver. People mobs like like an arena.
Speaker 1: It's like the Barneys of Canada. But it's like really
Speaker 1: like that that's saying something that's bad, Like you're saying,
Speaker 1: like the clothes are kind of like H and M E.
Speaker 1: So yeah, but there's like no you can walk into
Speaker 1: a lot of stories like that and kind of be
Speaker 1: like who's the and other stories girl, who's the coast
Speaker 1: girl to pick my two favorite like Scandinavian semi fast
Speaker 1: fast fashion brands, and you kind of have a sense
Speaker 1: of it. But this is just like all over the place. Everything,
Speaker 1: it's just like everything fabrics are they working with? Are
Speaker 1: we talking like synthetics? So there's a lot of wool blends,
Speaker 1: like wool synthetic blends, but they kind of just feel synthetic.
Speaker 1: And so when you pick them up and see that
Speaker 1: the sweater costs like a hundred and fifty or a
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty dollars, you're like, oh, wow, this is
Speaker 1: not what I thought I was working with here. It's
Speaker 1: fancy theme, but it's just there's something kind of ai
Speaker 1: ish about walking through the store, and like it has
Speaker 1: these weird little like tone poems on the tags that
Speaker 1: feel like they were written by a bot. Uh, it's
Speaker 1: very odd. I did not buy anything from Aritzia. And
Speaker 1: then I went to this other store called um Berkshire.
Speaker 1: So how do you. I can't remember if it's Berkshire
Speaker 1: or I thinks um, and I had thought again, this
Speaker 1: is like some Zara screw maybe more expensive type store.
Speaker 1: It is the cheapest store I've ever It's it's cheaper
Speaker 1: than Forever One. Not really, but it's but it's so
Speaker 1: cheap and there's so much of it, and it's much
Speaker 1: more like youth oriented, Like it feels kind of like
Speaker 1: going into a wet seal in the nineties. They're all
Speaker 1: these like loose sight blocks that say, like we celebrate
Speaker 1: the dancers. But everything was kind of nonfunctional in the store.
Speaker 1: Most of the mannequins were undressed and there was just
Speaker 1: like a mess inside and it kind of really fell
Speaker 1: to find out Fall of the Empire, Like I know,
Speaker 1: I when I got really obsessed with the fash in
Speaker 1: the other sense, fast fashion of Brandy Melville. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: one opened to the Americana, and then I found out
Speaker 1: that they are like size one, size one size only,
Speaker 1: and the size is small, and it's like if you
Speaker 1: don't fit it, you can't shop there, which is so shitty.
Speaker 1: And then I just like, but I went into the
Speaker 1: store just to like see what the stuff looks like,
Speaker 1: and I was so nearly. First of all, they had
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff where the branding was Los Angeles
Speaker 1: a weird guy. I was like, now I'm already thinking
Speaker 1: about fascism. But then literally one of the tags on
Speaker 1: one of their sub labels is called John Galt. Oh
Speaker 1: we Oh you told me about that? I think I
Speaker 1: remember this, And I was just like, you guys, like
Speaker 1: this is like they're they're telling us, But it's like
Speaker 1: the style of clothes is like a girl in a
Speaker 1: country music video. Yeah, it's basically abercrom. It's like a
Speaker 1: lot of like skinny, like distressed jeans and plaid shirts
Speaker 1: that you're supposed to wear like unbuttoned down to Like
Speaker 1: it's not even like a cool, scary fashion kid where
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, of course I'm scared to shop there,
Speaker 1: but it would all the clothes would look really good
Speaker 1: if you had a platinum blond blow out, the official
Speaker 1: hairstyle of female fashion. That's the look. Sorry to generalize here,
Speaker 1: So we have a lot of calls and they're all real.
Speaker 1: This week a night column, We're gonna Yeah. We had
Speaker 1: a lot of responses to our discussion about Velvet almost
Speaker 1: had Velvet gold Mine, which is a great movie, but
Speaker 1: not the movie we're talking about. Yeah, oh my god. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was thinking I watched a Bohemian Rhapsody recently and
Speaker 1: it just made me wish I was watching Velvet gold
Speaker 1: Mine instead. Like I feel like the theme of movies
Speaker 1: I've been seen recently is it's a lot more fun
Speaker 1: to like watch the fictionalized version with where it's like
Speaker 1: not dependent on depicting real life events, so you can
Speaker 1: be like it's an artist kind of like David Bowie
Speaker 1: are kind of like a glam rocker, but not have
Speaker 1: to like go through every single bullet in the Wikipedia article.
Speaker 1: But anyway, Yeah, Velvet Velvet buzz Saw, which now feels
Speaker 1: like it's been five years since it came out, but
Speaker 1: it did get a lot of good responses to us
Speaker 1: about killer art and yeah, yeah, and the and the
Speaker 1: intersection thereof I was also saying that I went to
Speaker 1: the l a Art Freeze and that it was exactly
Speaker 1: like Velvet buzz Saw, to the point that I was like,
Speaker 1: is it even parody? It's just representation the man. They
Speaker 1: had silly like sculptures. There was a giant like catchup
Speaker 1: bottle Paul McCarthy pop Art is Back. Baby. It was
Speaker 1: cool because it was as tall as the water tower.
Speaker 1: It was so dull. It was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this just reminds me of like, did you guys read
Speaker 1: this is still one of the most memorable New Yorker
Speaker 1: profiles to me, the profile of um of Scooter Braun
Speaker 1: in The New Yorker where the reporter just like followed
Speaker 1: him around going to all these like shitty pop art
Speaker 1: galleries in Los Angeles and like buying art for his home,
Speaker 1: just like the worst stuff, the worst like faux Banksy
Speaker 1: type stuff. Uh yeah, I will just say that as
Speaker 1: I walked into the art fair, the guy in front
Speaker 1: of me was wearing a full Adida's jumpsuit and a
Speaker 1: cowboy hat. That's a good look kind of well. I
Speaker 1: respect and sun conc respect being in places where everybody
Speaker 1: is like look at me, look at me, because then
Speaker 1: you never feel bad about people watching because they're like,
Speaker 1: I want to give you permission, they give you permission.
Speaker 1: But then I was also like, get me out of here,
Speaker 1: and um, well, we had two emails, two separate emails
Speaker 1: about the Denver International Airport d I A d I
Speaker 1: E another d I A. We could kick it off
Speaker 1: with Christo A at the d E A. Let's let's
Speaker 1: read Christina's who who writes to us saying, so when
Speaker 1: you guys were talking about velvet buzz saw and art
Speaker 1: that kills people, I was immediately reminded of the demonic
Speaker 1: blue horse overseeing protecting the Denver Airport, which killed its
Speaker 1: own God damn creator was the Denver Airport ever addressed
Speaker 1: on the pod forgive me if I've forgotten. I get
Speaker 1: absorbed in the Stargate apocalyptic femus shelter theories now and then,
Speaker 1: And while I don't necessarily believe these stories, one cannot
Speaker 1: deny that there is something wrong with the Denver Airport. Okay,
Speaker 1: by for now? Um yes, the blue Mustang Blue Suffer.
Speaker 1: So Blue Suffer is thirty two ft tall and nine
Speaker 1: thousand and nine thousand pounds, I believe, So that's already
Speaker 1: like just not to really right. Somehow there's something very big.
Speaker 1: It is made of fiberglass and uh it's yeah, it
Speaker 1: killed its creator. He had just finished the head and
Speaker 1: it fell on him in his studio and then his
Speaker 1: friends and family and staff finished it for him against
Speaker 1: what may have been their better judgment. But Denver Airport
Speaker 1: is also is just a mess, you guys. I didn't
Speaker 1: know any of this about Denver. I do want to
Speaker 1: talk about Denver air Airport for sure, because there's so
Speaker 1: much stuff going on there. But I want to encourage
Speaker 1: our listeners to look up a picture picture. He has
Speaker 1: glowing red it's glowing red eyes. Oh god, it looks
Speaker 1: it looks like something from hell. And the head like
Speaker 1: it greets you at the airport when you're coming You
Speaker 1: might eat coming over with a lot of anxiety reaching
Speaker 1: the gates of Hell. Yeah, there's something very ghostbusters about
Speaker 1: the veins on is he's sort of blue tinted the
Speaker 1: picture and on Wikipedia it's at night, so he's like illuminated.
Speaker 1: So he is blue. I mean, it's beautiful, is it?
Speaker 1: It's pretty metal. It's sort of it looks like something
Speaker 1: at the beginning of like um, like a distributor or
Speaker 1: production company logo at the beginning of them, like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like a TriStar horse and it's very dramatic. So
Speaker 1: it was installed in two thousand and eight, so it's pretty.
Speaker 1: But this is just the tip of the iceberg for
Speaker 1: ice ice ferd iceberg. Yeah, it's totally angler. Did you
Speaker 1: guys know about Denver International Airport? So crazy, super weird?
Speaker 1: It has anyone been there? I have? I don't. I
Speaker 1: feel like I went before all the weird stuff with her,
Speaker 1: except like, obviously the runway thing must have been there
Speaker 1: for a while. Well, let's back up to let people
Speaker 1: know that that one of the conspiracy theories is that
Speaker 1: the run ways are in the shape of swastia, which
Speaker 1: is kind of liked people are like, only if you
Speaker 1: really look to see that shape? Are they that way?
Speaker 1: You want to see a swastica in the way that
Speaker 1: all rectangular knots can sometimes be turned into swasticas swasticas
Speaker 1: are taking rectangular or not? Yes, yeah, And also like yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's like from an aerial view. Almost bought
Speaker 1: some bed sheets on sale the other day that then
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, this pattern is a little
Speaker 1: it's also like the ceiling canners is a little swastika.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, anyway, my my friend Caleb, they got married
Speaker 1: in a and his wife Mary got married in a
Speaker 1: place in uh Chatsworth. That is a building you can
Speaker 1: rent that's owned by the city. That's really cool. But
Speaker 1: it's like an old, an old timey California house and
Speaker 1: it is so old that it has a bunch of
Speaker 1: swastikas as a motif in one part because its um
Speaker 1: and for the wedding they heard them all with post
Speaker 1: it notes and it was very chy. Wow. You think
Speaker 1: that they would get those were placed if they were
Speaker 1: renting out the places of venue. I think it's part there,
Speaker 1: like it's a historical and there was like a time
Speaker 1: when it was trendy to put them in things because
Speaker 1: they were like it was a trend for like, oh
Speaker 1: Eastern mysticism. But besides the swastikas on the runways, there's
Speaker 1: also there are gargoyles by a baggage claim. There are
Speaker 1: secret bunkers. Apparently there are some murals that people think
Speaker 1: are like tales of the Apocalypse. Um. And at some
Speaker 1: point a CEO took over Denver Airport and decided to
Speaker 1: like kind of play enjoy it. There are conspiracy theories,
Speaker 1: and so they kind of showcased some of the theories,
Speaker 1: but not like the swastikas right um for instance. But yeah,
Speaker 1: people know how long until right? Yeah? Um. People also
Speaker 1: think there's like some kind of Freemason's connection, and there's
Speaker 1: a lot of like right wing conspiracies about like lizard
Speaker 1: people and the bunkers and stuff. It's it's an interesting,
Speaker 1: interesting rabbit by Denver. I don't know. I think I've
Speaker 1: gone through a couple of times, but I did get
Speaker 1: stuck there for an extended period of time when I
Speaker 1: was pretty young, like when I was eleven or twelve,
Speaker 1: traveling alone. Yes, I was traveling alone, So I really
Speaker 1: remember the Denver Airport from that. I remember the smell
Speaker 1: of the Denver Airport really really riding cycle down the hallway,
Speaker 1: yeah kind of. It was before cell phones too, so
Speaker 1: I had to like use the pay phone to call
Speaker 1: my mom and check in with her. It must have
Speaker 1: been before all this, at least the stuff that's really
Speaker 1: on the surface, because now they have like because of
Speaker 1: the CEO who took it over, they have all these
Speaker 1: ads that are like there's something like strange going on
Speaker 1: in Denver and like pictures of aliens and stuff on
Speaker 1: the like light up like billboard advertising spaces. Um, it's
Speaker 1: very yeah have you seen these? No? Oh, my god,
Speaker 1: seen I saw when I started looking at it. But
Speaker 1: I started looking this morning. I was like, this is
Speaker 1: very strange. Feel like somebody sent us something about those
Speaker 1: ads a while ago. But then I don't know if
Speaker 1: we read it on air, but now you know, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: clearly where we will go to the Denver Airport. The
Speaker 1: CEO Kim Day hit us up right at the point
Speaker 1: where like, we would love a glamorous trip to the
Speaker 1: Denver airports and a hotel on the outskirts of the airport.
Speaker 1: If they have one that's like you come true on site,
Speaker 1: that would be great. What did it smell like? Um,
Speaker 1: it's a smell I associate with like other kids houses.
Speaker 1: It's other kids house, another kid house. Every once and all,
Speaker 1: I'll smell something like that. And think of the Denver Airport.
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's milled. It's sort of mildewing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a little musty. There are there other haunted airports,
Speaker 1: have you guys? Ever, this isn't about haunted airports. But
Speaker 1: it's one of my favorite airport related ephemera things. The
Speaker 1: Carpets for Airports website. Oh yeah, we're just documents all
Speaker 1: the different carpet patterns and people write little essays about
Speaker 1: the carpets on it. Please look it up. It is
Speaker 1: such a good website. What is it Carpets for Airport
Speaker 1: stock Com. I think it's yeah, and they play it's
Speaker 1: like this sort of live globe, like a three D
Speaker 1: sort of so you can kind of spin it around
Speaker 1: and then pick a different airport. Like yeah, but you
Speaker 1: know who co runs this website. Hugh Dancing, the actor
Speaker 1: Hugh Dancing. I'm yeah, this is a no no, Like
Speaker 1: I think it's him and somebody else. That's amazing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's it's so good, And then it really makes
Speaker 1: you anytime you're at an airport, like look down at
Speaker 1: the at the carpet and think like this was a
Speaker 1: choice because of course, all these big institutional places, there's
Speaker 1: nothing that's not thought about in them as far as
Speaker 1: like you know, just like creating, like a yeah, because
Speaker 1: it's all meant to like pacify like the environment. What
Speaker 1: is the longest you've ever been trapped in an airport.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, so long I I spent I think
Speaker 1: it was like eighteen hours or something in Philadelphia and
Speaker 1: college where it was one of the things where they
Speaker 1: keep delaying the flight incrementally so that they wouldn't like. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that was also pre it wasn't pre cell phones,
Speaker 1: but it was so long that eventually we were just
Speaker 1: like using pay phones because UM and my friends we
Speaker 1: were coming back from spring break and I had pneumonia.
Speaker 1: It was really horrible, and all I wanted was a
Speaker 1: cheese steak because I was like, I'm in Philadelphia. Even
Speaker 1: the airport will have a cheese steak. It was like
Speaker 1: we got there and everything was about to close, and
Speaker 1: then nothing was serving cheese steaks until after we had left.
Speaker 1: It was a nightmare. That's brutal. But I don't know
Speaker 1: I was. I recently had like a layer where I
Speaker 1: knew about that was long. That was something like six
Speaker 1: or eight hours in Minneapolis. But yeah, I feel like
Speaker 1: there must have been other ones that were longer that
Speaker 1: I've blocked from memory, that were accidental, like where I
Speaker 1: just got stuck. Believe Dallas Sport Worth is my most
Speaker 1: hated airport. Yeah, makes sense, that's that one that's its
Speaker 1: own city. It's its own city, and like that was
Speaker 1: one where I probably got stuck out for the longest,
Speaker 1: and it made me realize just like we'll never be
Speaker 1: able to live in space, because no matter how big
Speaker 1: you make the biodome, it's never going to be big enough.
Speaker 1: And you just want to be outside so bad. I
Speaker 1: have to say that I could stay at Logan in
Speaker 1: Boston for a long time. I love the Logan Airport.
Speaker 1: They have illegal seafoods. Like I'm just very fond of
Speaker 1: Boston in general and feel very at home there. I
Speaker 1: found the people very nice. I could have chilled there forever.
Speaker 1: Philadelphia was not. Yeah, I've been to the Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: been to all these airports. I can't remember. I must
Speaker 1: not have spent long enough in them to make an impression.
Speaker 1: They all do blend together, and that sort of placelessness
Speaker 1: is what makes them sort of nightmare places. Yeah, so, guys,
Speaker 1: getting back to the nightcalls real quick. I'm just going
Speaker 1: to read an excerpt from the other night email that
Speaker 1: we got regarding um lucifer. Regarding blucifer Um, this one
Speaker 1: comes from Austin. They mentioned the fact that a lot
Speaker 1: of people want Blucifer removed, but he says, he or
Speaker 1: she says. The whole killer art thing is of course
Speaker 1: very sad, but it's fascinating too. It's easy to read
Speaker 1: into into it as an idea of our artistic hubris. Also,
Speaker 1: it is how the Kim Contral movie Mannequins should have ended.
Speaker 1: I'm from Colorado originally, and on reading the Wikipedia article
Speaker 1: was surprised to learn that it was only erected when
Speaker 1: I was in college. It feels as essential to d
Speaker 1: I A As our conspiracies about lizard people living in
Speaker 1: the tunnels underneath the airport, which of course are part
Speaker 1: of the branding of the food court renovations. There. Wait,
Speaker 1: are they suggesting that the mannequin should have killed the
Speaker 1: guy at the end? Because I agree? I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's all of a sudden a much better movie. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess the thing that's troubling about them leaning into
Speaker 1: the leanto well, yeah, like a guy was murdered for one,
Speaker 1: and to like again goes against this entire thing about
Speaker 1: like the pacifying nature. You're not supposed to be thinking
Speaker 1: about anything creepy because it's so close to being creepy already.
Speaker 1: It's about plane crashes on movie they do they yeah
Speaker 1: all still and now in this day, especially after nine eleven,
Speaker 1: they did yeah. But then I feel like they just
Speaker 1: always do. They just take out the mentions of it
Speaker 1: because they're like, don't think about it. I UM, I
Speaker 1: feel like I'm a connoisseur at this point of the
Speaker 1: safety videos of different airlines, um, which are the more
Speaker 1: more troubling, the more cute they try to be? UM.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys are a flu Virgin
Speaker 1: America r I P. But the vague like musical Number one,
Speaker 1: which was their last safety video before they I think
Speaker 1: they shut down, uh that one with like yeah, because
Speaker 1: it has like a rap in the middle of it.
Speaker 1: It has like robot dancers. That horrible, but then there's
Speaker 1: still like you're still a woman putting an oxygen mask
Speaker 1: on a small child as their plane plummets. I always thought, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh of course. I always felt like Virgin America's vibe
Speaker 1: was like not not right. Well for that the reason
Speaker 1: that it's like not soothing. It was sort of like
Speaker 1: it's a party plane and that's like pane. I like
Speaker 1: the purple lights, that's it. I didn't even like that
Speaker 1: it was like made me feel a little gellow. Well
Speaker 1: it also had the thing of, um, it had the
Speaker 1: thing of the messaging between the seats like that too,
Speaker 1: because right, yeah, yeah, but that always like it felt
Speaker 1: like it was given to you with kind of a
Speaker 1: wink of like hey, like you can go say hi
Speaker 1: to that sexy someone in row thirty two. But somebody
Speaker 1: on Twitter recently posted that, uh, I think it was
Speaker 1: on a plane. I'm pretty sure it was on a plane.
Speaker 1: And it was like the diet Coke was the beverage
Speaker 1: sponsor or something, and so the napkins that they gave
Speaker 1: out a drink said like here's a space to write
Speaker 1: your number down for somebody. Uh, which is like it
Speaker 1: was not received. Well, no, it was not received. Well
Speaker 1: I mean like again, like it's the thing of like
Speaker 1: it used to be fun to to be on planes,
Speaker 1: and you used to get horny on planes. Now I
Speaker 1: can't think of a less horny not look at those bathrooms.
Speaker 1: The Mile High Club makes so much more sense if
Speaker 1: you're thinking of like a two story play. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: speaking of terrible flights, now getting more into air travel,
Speaker 1: not so much air airports. Um, we have this call
Speaker 1: from Matt, who writes us saying, after listening to test
Speaker 1: talk about air travel in the most recent episode, I
Speaker 1: was reminded of a story a teacher told our class
Speaker 1: about a ghost the night call memory connection, seen by
Speaker 1: a flight attendant on an Eastern Airlines flight. All I
Speaker 1: could recall was that the ghost appeared in the oven
Speaker 1: used to warm up meals and warn the f A
Speaker 1: about a potential fire. I think f A. I did
Speaker 1: some light googling and sure enough found that story and
Speaker 1: several others about the ghost of flight four oh one.
Speaker 1: The short story is the Eastern four oh one crashed
Speaker 1: into the Everglades in nineteen seventy two, and the pilots
Speaker 1: of the flight were spotted multiple times by several witnesses
Speaker 1: over the following years, especially on planes that had been
Speaker 1: fitted with parts salvaged from the crash. Eastern eventually had
Speaker 1: to remove all of those parts and the sighting stopped.
Speaker 1: I hope you found this as interesting as and spooky
Speaker 1: as I found it. Love the pod oh boy. So
Speaker 1: news to me that you can use salvaged parts from
Speaker 1: a crashed plane. Such a bad idea, Such a bad idea.
Speaker 1: This is a totally new story to me, I've never
Speaker 1: heard of any of this before. This is wild. So yeah,
Speaker 1: this this plane crashed in the Everlades two and the
Speaker 1: pilot's name was Bob Loft and the flight engineer's name
Speaker 1: was Don Ripo, which all so like, how can they
Speaker 1: be real? Come on? Um? So they were two of
Speaker 1: the people who died. There were a hundred and one
Speaker 1: people who died, and then you know, I think something
Speaker 1: like between like thirty and seventy survivors. So it was
Speaker 1: the weirdest thing reading about this is that there were
Speaker 1: people who would call the flight attendants over on flights
Speaker 1: that were in planes with the salvage parts, and they'd
Speaker 1: be like, there's a woman sitting next to me and
Speaker 1: her like her eyes are closed and she looks very sick.
Speaker 1: And then the flight attendant would come over and there'd
Speaker 1: be no one there, or they'd say like a man
Speaker 1: just came over and started talking to me. And these
Speaker 1: were these people were credible, like they say, I don't
Speaker 1: remember where he read this, but it said um. Although
Speaker 1: Eastern Airlines refuses to discuss the matter, researchers have interviewed
Speaker 1: numerous individuals claiming to have encountered the ill fated pair
Speaker 1: that the Loft and Repo on L ten eleven's. As
Speaker 1: the reports would have it, Loft and Repo have devoted
Speaker 1: their afterlives to watching over the passengers and crew of
Speaker 1: the planes, and the testimonies are extremely persuasive. Many come
Speaker 1: from people in highly responsible positions, pilots, flight officers, even
Speaker 1: a vice president of Eastern Airlines who allegedly spoke with
Speaker 1: a captain he assumed was in charge of the flight
Speaker 1: before recognizing him as the late Loft. Apparently, like they
Speaker 1: say things sometimes like the apparitions will be like I
Speaker 1: will never let another crash happen, or like I will
Speaker 1: protect this play. Founds like they're friendly ghost to know,
Speaker 1: they're very friendly good ghosts. Yeah, it's just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's one of those things. The more credible it is,
Speaker 1: the more it's like, oh, a person who's probably like
Speaker 1: as on the straight and narrow as you can possibly be.
Speaker 1: In response to our plants having ghosts questions, somebody said, oh,
Speaker 1: I thought your question was do plants have ghosts? And
Speaker 1: then they were like, the ghosts are the oxygen that
Speaker 1: they make that we all breathe, breathing. It's the singularity
Speaker 1: all explosion. Uh yeah, no, this the plane thing is so,
Speaker 1: when is the last time that people were having sightings
Speaker 1: of this? There's is it mostly? Are there any reports recently?
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I thought that the reports stopped
Speaker 1: after they removed the salvaged parts, but maybe not. Also,
Speaker 1: Eastern Airlines doesn't exist any Was it only Eastern Airlines
Speaker 1: flights that were haunted or was it like may have
Speaker 1: been the just particular type of plane. I think it
Speaker 1: was mostly Eastern though It's it's hard because it's all
Speaker 1: kind of collected on these websites that are like you
Speaker 1: just really want to believe the story, but they're not
Speaker 1: super specific. But it was other eastern Eastern. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it'd be so psyched to have like a good ghost
Speaker 1: on the airplane keeping it up that plane, good gremlin
Speaker 1: on the way. Yeah. I don't make Molly text me
Speaker 1: before I fly to keep the plane up. She does it?
Speaker 1: Keep it up with my thought? Yep. Well, speaking of
Speaker 1: plants having feelings, I think that we got a nightcall
Speaker 1: about a plant. I'm not sure it's paranormal. It's probably
Speaker 1: static electricity. For one time, I was walking in a
Speaker 1: carpeted area and I was near a plant and the
Speaker 1: plant leaf unfurled, shocked me, and then furled back up again.
Speaker 1: That was a negative experience with plants. Probably wasn't paranormal,
Speaker 1: but you never know. By it was very excited to
Speaker 1: hear this because I don't know if you guys know
Speaker 1: about the quote unquote sensitive plant, the mimosa. Oh yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with the sensitive plant. Do you know about
Speaker 1: this plant? Tell me it looks like a fern kind
Speaker 1: of um, it's really pretty. It's a very delicate plant
Speaker 1: and if you touch it or stroke it, it like um.
Speaker 1: But it's interesting because it's like not totally underst like
Speaker 1: it's it doesn't really protect it from predator. And it's
Speaker 1: not it's not a carnivorous plant either. It's no, it's not.
Speaker 1: It's a plan. They had them at home depot and
Speaker 1: they were marketing them as emo plants, and I was like,
Speaker 1: and then it died. Yes, I think it probably was
Speaker 1: like I put it where the jasmine, where it was
Speaker 1: just sitting on the ledge right above the jasmine that died.
Speaker 1: Just saying I definitely think plants can think and feel,
Speaker 1: and there's footage of like plants doing things in kind
Speaker 1: of slowly. But I remember seeing somebody in a documentary
Speaker 1: of a plant like it was like a parasitic plant.
Speaker 1: It went up to other plants and it could recognize
Speaker 1: whether it was in their family or not. And if
Speaker 1: it wasn't their family, it would be like nope, and
Speaker 1: like move on and then eat some other plant instead.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was amazing. I wonder what plant that was.
Speaker 1: I will find out. I used to. I did a
Speaker 1: post about it once a million years ago. The salt
Speaker 1: just reminds me of like Poison Ivy from from I know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just love she's like a good eco terrorist, right,
Speaker 1: she just wants plants to rule the world again, which
Speaker 1: I really noble Molly, what happens to us? No human
Speaker 1: extination project. I love Poison Ivy and I love anytime
Speaker 1: there's like a monster or villain of the week on
Speaker 1: sailor moon that's like like plant oriented because it's always
Speaker 1: like a little like creepy vine that'll like monsters are
Speaker 1: scary little shop of horror, so terrifying. Yeah, it's really terrifying.
Speaker 1: I have this problem where when I start thinking about
Speaker 1: if plants have souls and sea ghosts and can hear
Speaker 1: and stuff because I adopt a lot of plants. Like,
Speaker 1: if anyone's giving away a plan, I'll just like automatically
Speaker 1: take it. But then you run into a problem because
Speaker 1: you need eventually to like get rid of some plants,
Speaker 1: to take care of the ants that need more space,
Speaker 1: and to just like give away your plans and then
Speaker 1: they come back. Yeah, a little toaster, throw me away,
Speaker 1: don't get rid of an object. It's kind of shocking
Speaker 1: there hasn't been a Pixar movie about this, Like we
Speaker 1: feel sad about it. He just cooked up soide cooking
Speaker 1: with fire. I feel like that's all. Like any time
Speaker 1: I'm just like dunking on Pixar, it's just like thinking
Speaker 1: of the next anthemomorphic thing. It can make you feel
Speaker 1: bad about what about women? Yeah, no that will never happen,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's like I feel like their entire business
Speaker 1: model is like making you feel bad about, like imagine
Speaker 1: feelings on things that don't feeling well. That's kind of
Speaker 1: like why I feel like the time was right for
Speaker 1: Marie Condo is because it's been so many years of
Speaker 1: anthropomorphizing objects and she's like, great, they are they do
Speaker 1: have souls and feelings but now you just tell them
Speaker 1: to go away. I saw a good argument for her
Speaker 1: that was saying that it was all Shinto is m,
Speaker 1: where it was like, yeah, all your stuff does have
Speaker 1: a soul, and that's why you thank you, thank you,
Speaker 1: bid it goodbye. Fine. The interesting thing in Japan is
Speaker 1: that like people don't um like like used stuff or
Speaker 1: like take your stuff to second hand stores. Is kind
Speaker 1: of like a more recent phenomenon because people just don't
Speaker 1: generally buy secondhand stuff because they like because of the
Speaker 1: sort of Shinto beliefs of like the energy and like
Speaker 1: the previous life it's had. Um But I think people
Speaker 1: are doing it now more just because of the economy,
Speaker 1: but like but because of like also the people in
Speaker 1: view this the stuff in their objects. People take really
Speaker 1: really good care of their stuff, so like, if you
Speaker 1: do go to a second hand store, it tends to
Speaker 1: be really good condition. But I feel like we could
Speaker 1: use a little more of that in our culture. I'm
Speaker 1: kind of into the idea of getting something secondhand and
Speaker 1: getting an influx of other vibes. The only problem is
Speaker 1: being able to like read a vibe not strong suit necessarily.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like I have a pretty
Speaker 1: good read on vibes of clothes, like like where you
Speaker 1: can picture the clothes having been Maybe it's like worse
Speaker 1: for like harder objects, but softer objects that are more absorbent.
Speaker 1: I feel like I can read the Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: almost all the clothes i'd buyre you, so I'd better
Speaker 1: be good at reading. Have you ever had a haunted
Speaker 1: clothing item? I think I have. Yeah, I had a
Speaker 1: really I had a jacket that I lost at a
Speaker 1: nightclub in Providence, Rhode Island, and uh, it's that jacket.
Speaker 1: That jacket was a second hand jacket. It was like
Speaker 1: it was from um I think the store was called
Speaker 1: Ragtime and it was on their street. And I remember
Speaker 1: like I got it and then it just like it
Speaker 1: kept falling off the hangar and I was like that's
Speaker 1: and I'd like zip it up, and the zipper would
Speaker 1: kind of slide down and fall off the hangar. And
Speaker 1: then eventually I lost it and felt like it like
Speaker 1: wanted to leave, so I just let it go. But
Speaker 1: it did have a bunch of cash in it, which
Speaker 1: I was very I mean, that's such a dick move
Speaker 1: of a jacket. But I feel like coats tend to
Speaker 1: have them hold onto the most. I think so maybe
Speaker 1: things because you well also you wear coats so much
Speaker 1: more than you wear any other one article of clothings
Speaker 1: except for maybe jeans. Well, I have a coat that's
Speaker 1: come into my life that was not pre owned. But
Speaker 1: I like, I have a coat now that I did
Speaker 1: not pay for that I feel like maybe has some
Speaker 1: bad juju on it because of the way that I
Speaker 1: I acquired it. You explained it to me, and it's fine,
Speaker 1: it's fine, but I feel I didn't take it from
Speaker 1: anybody gave it, gave it to me, but it's like
Speaker 1: it's like I don't know, it's like a yeah anyway,
Speaker 1: but but I also feel guilty that you didn't like
Speaker 1: earn it with your brain. But it's fine, it's fine,
Speaker 1: but other weirder way. But I also picked up a
Speaker 1: jacket once at um at bar Stella, like a few
Speaker 1: years ago when I lived here, and I tried to
Speaker 1: I tried to return it back to the bar and
Speaker 1: they were like like like, we don't have any idea
Speaker 1: you should just like hang on to that person hasn't
Speaker 1: been here in this jacket is bar was never here.
Speaker 1: But I so I had I like they were just
Speaker 1: like you should just keep the coat, and so I
Speaker 1: had it, but then I just got this really bad
Speaker 1: feeling about the coat, like I shouldn't it fit me
Speaker 1: and it looked it was like not a coat I
Speaker 1: wouldn't wear, but I just didn't. I felt like I
Speaker 1: should not have it. So I think I gave it
Speaker 1: to somebody else. I know, uh, it chased them, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Now I'm thinking about the Sopranos episode
Speaker 1: about a jacket, which one there's one where somebody gives
Speaker 1: Tony a jacket and then finds out that he's like
Speaker 1: gave it away. Oh, I do kind of this. What
Speaker 1: kind of jacket was it was a jacket? Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like something he would never wear. And then it's like
Speaker 1: he sees the guy sees like Tony's made wearing it
Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, coats have baggage. Man also purses. Yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely had some secondhand purses that were not meant to
Speaker 1: stay with me. It's really hard to get rid of purses.
Speaker 1: It's impossible. I go through a change persons all the time.
Speaker 1: I mean, do you throw them away? I just buy
Speaker 1: cheap ones and then when they wear them through, which
Speaker 1: I always do. I just move on. Well, I move
Speaker 1: on from them, but I think I find it hard
Speaker 1: to give them away, Like it's a very it's such
Speaker 1: a touchy thing. Mine gets so gross. I'm just ashamed.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be like I had this. This
Speaker 1: person didn't wear lots. It was in pretty good condition
Speaker 1: and I had to get rid of a bunch of
Speaker 1: stuff because I was having some kind of like panic
Speaker 1: induced move or whatever. And I remember leaving a box
Speaker 1: of stuff outside of out of the closet, like when
Speaker 1: I was like driving this U haul truck and then
Speaker 1: like rounding the corner and like a homeless person had
Speaker 1: already picked up the purse and it was like walking
Speaker 1: off with it, and it was like the it was
Speaker 1: like seeing like yourself like from it was like that
Speaker 1: makes me feel really good, Like I feel like somebody
Speaker 1: should do that. I sometimes just leave stuff out, yeah,
Speaker 1: where I'm like somebody will take it. But having you
Speaker 1: ever left something big out and then watch does no
Speaker 1: one take? And like a couch out And I was like,
Speaker 1: oh was that? She was like, you don't want it.
Speaker 1: It's been in the rain for like three weeks and
Speaker 1: it's so like somebody will use it. No, But people
Speaker 1: do curb alerts and then like you can see people
Speaker 1: kind of slow down and look at the couch and
Speaker 1: be like, nah, somebody left of copy and now like
Speaker 1: water log copy of Art of War outside of my
Speaker 1: like that was there as of the time that I left,
Speaker 1: uh the other day, curb alert outside and I kept
Speaker 1: want you to take a picture, and then it was
Speaker 1: so cold that now, like it gets so cold out
Speaker 1: that my phone just just shuts down. And so I
Speaker 1: was going to take a picture of it for Instagram
Speaker 1: and just say somebody lost, but then it was not
Speaker 1: meant to be. Uh yeah, anyway, take care of your
Speaker 1: stuff and then and then sure that it has a
Speaker 1: good home. Don't waste stuff. And if you have a
