I am Joshua Wape Warrent, 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.120 and each week on this show I'll be bringing up 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:18.240 brand new mind blowing content, news, exercises, and weird experiments 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:22.520 you can do at home, and a lot more on 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:30.360 this edition of the show My Scariest Experiences. You know, 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:36.320 I I I have to to confess something to you. 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:41.679 You know, gosh uh, your old pal here, the Great 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:45.040 and Terrible Joshua pe Warren sometimes just gets kind of 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:53.560 worn out talking about uh deep philosophy and quantum physics 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.080 and all that kind of thing. I mean, look, recently, 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:57.960 what have I What have I talked about? Oh? I 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:03.000 opened the Portal to Another Dimension. I did a show 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:09.399 about the Shuman Residence, Scientific Truths in the Bible, Who 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:21.160 Killed JFK? The Heepaphone, Whona? And sometimes I just get 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.919 worn out and I'm like, you know what, I think 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:29.120 I'm gonna do, like a simpler kind of show, and 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.600 hopefully you'll enjoy that as well. It's more like we're 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:36.720 just kind of sitting around next to the campfire. One 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:41.880 of the reasons that I say that is that, you know, 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:46.200 I live here in Las Vegas and it's an international city, 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:51.839 and whenever there's a bug going around, well, I'm very 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:55.040 likely to get it. Because one of the things I 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:56.880 like to do, of course, is I'll go out to 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.640 these casinos. You know, I'm not as big of a gamblers. 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:04.320 You might think I'll put twenty bucks in, maybe one hundred, 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.680 and that's all you need if you know what you're doing, 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.840 Sit there and gamble for a while, get some free drinks. 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:16.600 But the problem is you're touching everything, and you're you're 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:23.680 constantly touching these slot machines, and you know, if you're 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:27.040 not careful, then you'll get a cold, and so I 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.000 got I got a little bit of a cold now. 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.520 And it's also it's funny when when you are in 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.840 my position and you have a podcast and you say 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.400 you have a medical issue at all, like, oh, I 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:44.160 got a cold. All these people we'll contact you and 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:48.240 give you advice on what to do. But you have 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.720 to understand this is not live radio. This is a 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:55.400 recorded podcast. So I usually record these shows two or 0:03:55.440 --> 0:04:00.000 three weeks before you hear them. So by the time 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.960 you've heard this, the cold is already over. So there's 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:06.200 no need to send me your your well wishes or 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:11.080 your recommendations. And you know, that's just part of life. 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.920 I mean, you got to you gotta get colds once 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:17.120 in a while, and hopefully that makes you a stronger person. 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.040 So I said, you know what, I'm going to take 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:24.120 it easy for this show. I don't know if it's 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:25.960 going to be a good show or not. You might 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:29.640 think it's a terrible show. You might think it's super boring. 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:34.520 But people ask me all the time, they say, Joshua, 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:40.360 you have been investigating the paranormal for over thirty years professionally, 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:47.240 what are some of your scariest experiences? And so once 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.440 in a while, I'm like, well, you know, let me 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:51.080 let me just go ahead and sit down and tell 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:55.080 you about some of my scariest experiences. By the way, 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.880 before I get into this, you know again, I recently 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:04.839 at a show about Who Killed JFK That got quite 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:08.440 a reaction. Let's see, that was episode two thirty nine 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:12.720 called Here's Who Killed JFK. A lot of people really 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:18.400 enjoyed that show. And I just want to mention real 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:29.400 quick here that anybody in history who wants to be 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:35.520 the president of the country is kind of insane because 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.400 normal people don't want to do that. Normal people do 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.000 not want to be in charge of a country. And 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:46.720 our founders here in the US they knew that, and 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.200 so that's why they put checks and balances and all 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:53.839 that kind of stuff in there to try to to 0:05:53.920 --> 0:06:00.360 try to rectify the insanity of the egos that get 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:06.600 involved with politics. And I've talked a little bit about 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:08.320 you know, I don't really I don't usually get into 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:12.760 politics on this show, but I have said before that 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:20.000 I think that that's an inherent flaw in the political 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:26.560 system that normal, sensible, logical people don't want to get 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:31.200 involved in that. So we end up with leaders in 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:35.840 many cases who are kind of out there. And look, 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:40.520 I'm an independent. I have my entire life. I've always 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.560 been registered as an independent, and I have voted for 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:50.760 every party you can imagine locally and nationally. So I'm 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:54.640 not here to say anything in particular about a politician, 0:06:56.400 --> 0:07:01.039 but I just think in general, people who want to 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:07.479 go into politics, they obviously think about life differently than 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:17.320 we do. All right, My scariest experiences, Well, you know 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:21.320 what's funny is that when when I meet somebody and occasionally, 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.600 believe it or not, so many people listen to this 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:29.800 show that sometimes I'll be at a restaurant or something 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:36.680 and someone will recognize my voice, and sometimes they can 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:40.320 confuse me with another person, you know, but anyway, they say, 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:45.520 are you? And so then they start telling me like, 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:49.560 oh god, you know, I bet your life has been amazing. 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.120 Tell me about some scary things that have happened to you. 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:59.400 And I think they're expecting me to say that I 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.560 have contra up a demon or something like that, and 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:07.000 that this horrific demon has appeared. And you know what 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:11.960 the truth is, I tried that. I made a documentary 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:16.560 years ago called Inside the Church of Satan, and I 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.640 was the first person who was allowed to go inside 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:24.040 the Church of Satan in many many years. And I'm 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.280 not even certain right now how you can see that movie. 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:34.960 But in that documentary, I mean I did a bonafide 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:42.160 ritual and I tried to conjure up the devil himself 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:46.680 or something similar. And I can tell you that I 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:54.199 have never seen a demon with my physical eyes. It's possible, 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.560 if you want to get psychic about this, that I've 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:01.600 seen it with my third eye. Sometimes. I mean, I 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:06.439 believe this. There's certain things that you can see spiritually 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.880 with your third eye that you don't see with your 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:13.600 physical eyes. So you know, I could sit here and 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.720 tell you stories like that, but I want to be 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:20.760 practical here. And the fact of the matter is I 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:25.360 have never directly with my own two eyes. I've never 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:30.960 seen a demon like a little monstrous creature with horns. 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:38.040 I've never seen an alien. I have seen ghosts with 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:43.520 my physical eyes, So I mean that's a different story, 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:49.320 because you know, I even took a photograph of well, 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:53.320 I consider a ghost a ghostly mists up. You know, 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:57.760 Ghosts or ghosts are different. Ghosts are things that are 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.200 trapped in the environment, and you just rarely get to 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.800 witness them. You know. When I was in Puerto Rico, 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:09.600 I used to hang out with all these old salty 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:15.200 fishermen and they said that sometimes you get lucky when 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:19.800 you were out there on the ocean at dusk, and 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:23.040 if you just were gazing in the right direction at 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:27.880 the right moment, you'd see the green flash, some kind 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:32.360 of weird atmospheric phenomenon. The sun is going down and 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:37.880 then boom, there's a flash of green. And man, I 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.200 was out there frequently looking for that green flash, and 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:45.320 I never saw it. But it's real, it's a true thing. Finally, 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.760 you can look it up for yourself online. I mean, 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:53.400 somebody went out and photographed the green flash. So I 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:57.760 mean there are things that are real, visual things you 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:02.760 can experience that are very very rare. Just because you 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:07.080 haven't seen it doesn't mean it's not real. And so 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:11.680 it's rare. To see a ghost, You've got to look 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:15.360 really hard for him all the time. So I've seen ghosts. 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.480 But you know, the funny thing is, I'm going to 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:22.199 surprise you probably because when we come back from our break, 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:26.360 I'm going to tell you about some of the the 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:33.679 truly scariest experiences that I have had, and most of 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:39.600 them are mundane and things that you can relate to. 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:44.520 I'm not talking about some kind of craziness. I'm talking 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:48.920 about things that are very, very practical and real. You'll 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:54.920 see what I mean. You know, I do this show 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:59.959 because that you support it, and so it's a free show. 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.320 If you want me to keep doing it, then all 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:07.679 you have to do is go to Joshuapwarren dot com 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:12.040 and click the link to the Curiosity Shop there.

And I will be right back. 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:36.679 Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:40.200 to Coast af Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:44.080 the Wizard of Weird, Joshua Wa P Warren Beam again 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:47.640 into your worm whole brain from my studio in Sin City, 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:51.640 Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day is golden and every 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:58.800 night is silver Zoom. And if you happened to be 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:04.160 near Los Vegas, you have to go take my Haunted 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:10.520 Boulder City Ghost and UFO tour. It's only about a 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:14.040 thirty minute drive outside of Vegas. And I just recently 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:20.960 updated the website with a bunch of videos from basically 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:27.120 like YouTuber's influencer types who have taken the tour and 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:35.120 done videos about it Haunted Boulder City dot com. And 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:37.240 now that we're getting into the busy season, you know 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:39.720 this would be the time to do it because we 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:46.200 sell out frequently. You know, it's funny because all right, 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:54.000 my scariest experiences. I was talking to doctor Molder the 0:14:54.000 --> 0:15:00.680 other day, and I hate having telephone conversations. It's just 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.480 I don't know if it's it's probably because that I 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:08.400 have just talked so much for a living for decades, 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.400 but he and I had a great conversation. It was 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:18.440 over three hours. Maybe I don't know. Maybe it's also 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.960 like a gen X thing I was looking the other day. 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:25.160 You know what gen X supposedly is. Let's see, it 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:29.560 says if you were born between the mid nineteen sixties 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:35.680 in the early nineteen eighties, you're supposed to be some 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.080 kind of I guess that's what they call gen X. 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.280 And I was born in nineteen seventy six, so I'm 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:44.280 going to be forty nine this year. Maybe it has 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.120 something to do with that. I don't know, but yeah, 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.680 we talked for hours, and it was one of those 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:53.200 conversations and it was like when we were done, we go, 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.680 you know, we should just get together and record ourselves 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.960 having one of these conversations and make like a documentary 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:03.920 out of it. One thing we talked about was this 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:09.640 method that doctor Moulder he uses all the time when 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:14.000 he's about to try to manifest something, he'll take it's 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:18.200 called pumping chi And at one point, I don't know 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.080 if I still have this on my website or not, 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:22.760 but I had this thing, this booklet on my website 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.600 at one point where it was like an instructional booklet 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:30.080 and it told you how to pump chi. So here's 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:35.640 the idea, Like, okay, if you want to manifest a 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:42.520 powerful ball of energy, you sit there and you relax, 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:46.840 and you put your your two hands as close together 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.760 as you can without touching them, and then you bring 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:53.000 them about six inches apart, and then you put them 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:56.160 as close together as you can without touching, you know, 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:59.040 palm to palm, and then two inches apart, and you 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.560 keep doing this so you start filling this kind of 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:05.120 like magnetic sensation, and it helps if you rub your 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:08.800 hands together and get them nice and stimulated. I'm doing 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:12.040 it right now, as you can tell. And what happens 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:17.639 is you start to build up this imagine it as 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:21.399 a ball of energy, and then once you have this 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:24.600 ball of energy, then you can place that onto your 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:29.399 wishing machine or your tepaphone or whatever your manifestation devices. 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:33.720 And he says that he does this all the time, 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:37.640 and that's one of his keys to success. And one 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.400 of the people that I met who made an impact 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:44.080 on me when it came to generating all that was 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:51.440 Grandmaster Tom Cameron, who lives in Chicago. So I believe 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:56.040 the very first time I went to Chicago, and gosh, 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:58.480 you know, I was a pretty young fellow at that time. 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.920 I was probably you know, certainly in my early twenties. 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:10.040 I went to Chicago. Uh, and he was teaching me 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:16.400 and other people how to create these kind of balls 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:20.680 of chi and and fire them at things. And we 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.199 have been on television together. I mean, uh, well, he 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:27.080 was on Ripley's Believe It or Not and Steve Harvey 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:30.200 and then and then I was there on a show 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:33.080 with him for the History Channel where we were measuring 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:38.560 him blasting these balls of energy and so. Uh so 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:42.520 one time I was at his house and I was crashing. 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:45.840 He was so nice he let me crash in his bedroom. Uh, 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:47.840 and I believe it again. It was the first time 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:54.480 I'd gone to Chicago. And then so we had a pizza. 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:58.600 He introduced me to Girdono's Deep Dish pizza. A lot 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:02.479 of people would say it's more of a pie. Whatever. Okay, 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:06.320 if you've never had gi your Donna's, go go try 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:12.080 it out. And so so one afternoon I woke up 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:14.880 and we'd had a long night, and I walked out 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:20.200 to his parking lot. Great because he kind of lived 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:24.160 in like a complex, and uh, there was a dumpster 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:29.560 there and I opened the dumpster to throw this pizza 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:38.960 box away, and a raccoon jumped straight out of this dumpster, 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:47.240 right at my face. That may be the scariest thing 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:52.119 that's ever happened to me, believe it or not, a 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:57.520 raccoon jumping out of a dumpster. There was another occasion 0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:02.080 when I was growing up in western North Carolina when 0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:07.320 I had a friend who had a pit bull, and 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:10.720 one evening we were outside and that pit bull went, 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:13.480 I don't know, he didn't like me for some reason. 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:20.240 Most animals liked me, but he went straight for my jewels. 0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:23.760 And if he had not had a good leash on 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:28.240 that thing. Wow. And then one time I went to 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:33.119 a lion habitat and this lion saw me. That was 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:35.080 here in Las Vegas, they have a lion habit and 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:44.399 the lion ran up and started roaring at me. And 0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:49.840 you see, the scariest experiences in reality that I've had, 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:53.680 just to be honest with you, have probably come from 0:20:54.720 --> 0:21:00.960 from wild animals. You know. When I was when I 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:05.320 was a teenager, I went hiking one evening in the 0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:10.199 Blue Ridge Mountains not far from Mount Pisga in North Carolina. 0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:15.680 I was with a buddy and I walked up on 0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:19.840 a black bear in the middle of the night, and 0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:26.560 that black bear, you know, he or she or whatever 0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:28.280 it was, looked at me, and I looked at it, 0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:32.000 and we just stood there, and then it turned around 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:36.400 and ran off. And I had the same experience, similar 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:40.960 experience when I would camp at Brown Mountain where the 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:45.840 Brown Mountain lights appear where because that's actually a black 0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:49.320 bear reserve, where I walked up on a black bear 0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:51.480 and then a black bear would turn around and run off. 0:21:53.880 --> 0:22:00.879 And then, of course you've probably heard talked about that 0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:04.840 time that my wife Lauren and I we weren't married yet, 0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:09.280 but we were living together and we had this house 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:12.680 out way out in the countryside of West North Carolina 0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:20.520 now Alexander, North Carolina. And this black snake slithered up 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:30.000 into my bed one day, and let me tell you 0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:31.720 that was you know, I don't want to tell that 0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:34.919 whole story again, but I mean, like that was. I 0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:37.600 woke up and there was a black snake right there 0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:39.880 in my face, and this thing was I don't know why, 0:22:39.880 --> 0:22:47.480 it was angry, and it was hissing and striking at me. 0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:52.960 I disposed of that snake, and then a second one 0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:58.120 was right there behind it. So I've had a lot 0:22:58.119 --> 0:23:01.600 of these, you know experiences. Well, I think that's what's scary. 0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:10.520 I think that wild animals are scary. Ghosts don't really 0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:16.199 scare me, to be honest with you. And and for 0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:18.760 some reason, I've always felt comfortable being in the water. 0:23:18.840 --> 0:23:20.640 I mean, when I lived in Puerto Rico, I used 0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:24.479 to swim way out sometimes at two o'clock in the morning, 0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:28.080 way out into this harbor where all these boats were. 0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:38.520 And I wasn't afraid to do that. Never been afraid 0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:45.920 of men. Oh, women I think are scarier than men, 0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:51.240 because you know, a man will get up in your face, 0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:58.280 but a woman will just poison you. That's you know. 0:23:58.320 --> 0:24:01.480 I've had some nightmares, you know. As a matter of fact, 0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:04.239 I was told h less than a week ago, I 0:24:04.280 --> 0:24:07.320 was diagnosed with sleep app you know, so now I 0:24:07.400 --> 0:24:11.200 got to go have a seapat machine. So I've had 0:24:11.200 --> 0:24:22.880 some pretty frightening nightmares. But you know, speaking of speaking 0:24:22.920 --> 0:24:27.480 of like animals, Uh, here's a I gotta ask you 0:24:27.520 --> 0:24:31.040 this trivia question before we go to this break, and 0:24:31.080 --> 0:24:33.440 then when we come back, I have some other interesting stuff. 0:24:33.680 --> 0:24:36.679 You know, I'm just riffing here. Okay, what do you 0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:45.000 think are the loudest animals on Earth? I'll think about that, 0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:52.159 don't look it up, don't cheat. What are the loudest 0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:55.879 animals on Earth? And then I have a story for 0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:58.880 you about this This lady, she wrote me a really 0:24:58.920 --> 0:25:04.200 good question. She said, I have a hearted house. Well, 0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:09.679 look stick around. I'm Joshua Pee Warren.

You know, 0:26:42.160 --> 0:26:44.240 sometimes I feel like I can do kind of a 0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:48.840 silly show where I don't have to talk about like 0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:53.200 some super heavy topic because some of you are just like, hey, 0:26:53.600 --> 0:26:59.800 I'm along for the ride, and you've always been really 0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:05.159 ends in the ether, and because you know, this is 0:27:05.280 --> 0:27:08.120 entertainment at the end of the day.

I didn't have kids because 0:27:16.200 --> 0:27:20.000 I was like, I should not be a father, just 0:27:20.040 --> 0:27:22.480 like you don't want I just I don't feel like 0:27:22.520 --> 0:27:30.760 I'm qualified. This is entertainment. And if you if you've been, 0:27:30.800 --> 0:27:33.040 you know, sticking with this show for a long time, 0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:37.199 and you're you're just along for the ride, then you 0:27:37.280 --> 0:27:41.040 know what you're You're the only thing that makes this 0:27:41.119 --> 0:27:43.760 worthwhile for me. So so thank you for doing that. 0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:53.679 And I do have, you know, a supernatural scary experience. 0:27:53.760 --> 0:27:58.200 But all right, what do you think Let's get back 0:27:58.200 --> 0:28:06.600 to the trivia question. The two loudest animals on Earth. 0:28:09.440 --> 0:28:11.800 I could drag this out, but I'm just gonna jump 0:28:11.880 --> 0:28:15.480 right into it. They say the loudest animal on Earth 0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:24.720 is a sperm. Well, and I mean, obviously, well it's 0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:27.560 going to be loud. But then I have to dig 0:28:27.600 --> 0:28:29.560 a little bit deeper. And I thought, well, okay, well, 0:28:29.560 --> 0:28:34.920 what's the loudest animal that's not in the water, And 0:28:35.800 --> 0:28:38.960 my guess with some kind of frog or some kind 0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:42.719 of like a little thing like that. Are you ready? 0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:51.840 Are you ready? It's a Howler monkey. So animals are 0:28:51.880 --> 0:28:55.800 just so bizarre in so many ways, and you know, 0:28:55.880 --> 0:29:00.200 it's always surprising, isn't it. That's why I think that 0:29:00.280 --> 0:29:04.560 if there are aliens flying around here, most of the time, 0:29:04.560 --> 0:29:13.440 they're probably in the oceans instead of out in outer space. Well, 0:29:13.840 --> 0:29:18.480 one of my scariest supernatural experiences, and I won't spend 0:29:18.480 --> 0:29:22.320 too much time on this ironically, just because I've talked 0:29:22.360 --> 0:29:25.920 about it before, is when I went to Myrtle's plantation 0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:30.120 down there, and I guess it was Saint Francisville, Louisiana, 0:29:30.480 --> 0:29:32.760 not too far from Baton Rouge. I was doing a 0:29:32.760 --> 0:29:37.640 television show and I was able to go down there 0:29:37.960 --> 0:29:42.400 a night or two before the crew arrived and stayed 0:29:42.400 --> 0:29:49.120 by myself and this suite called the General David Bradford Suite. 0:29:49.280 --> 0:29:56.440 And then late at night something started rapping on the door. 0:29:58.120 --> 0:30:05.040 And one of the that I'm proud of is that 0:30:05.560 --> 0:30:07.959 you don't just have to listen to my stories and 0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:13.760 think they're bs because I actually have videotaped a lot 0:30:13.800 --> 0:30:16.440 of stuff. Let's see here, I'm going right. I think 0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:23.040 it's okay. I'm a YouTube Joshua P. Warren. Alone in 0:30:23.120 --> 0:30:32.840 America's Most Haunted Bedroom. Yep, that brings it up. Alone 0:30:32.920 --> 0:30:37.600 in America's Most Haunted Bedroom. This was published seventeen years ago. 0:30:37.960 --> 0:30:44.000 It has one hundred and sixty seven thousand views. And 0:30:44.040 --> 0:30:49.200 you can see that I was, in my opinion, I 0:30:49.360 --> 0:30:57.160 was communicating with an invisible, conscious, intelligent being when I 0:30:57.200 --> 0:31:00.600 was in this room, and I was the only on 0:31:00.680 --> 0:31:05.200 the property that night, as it turned out. And you 0:31:05.240 --> 0:31:08.000 know what's always perplexed me is it's like, why is 0:31:08.080 --> 0:31:14.000 that scary? Because you would think that, you know, just 0:31:14.080 --> 0:31:17.920 because there's a there's a ghost in your bedroom, that 0:31:17.960 --> 0:31:21.120 doesn't mean it's like a scary thing. But there's something 0:31:22.120 --> 0:31:29.280 I found inherently scary about the idea of sort of 0:31:29.320 --> 0:31:37.440 an invisible person or an invisible intelligence being there. And 0:31:37.880 --> 0:31:41.080 you realize it, I mean you recognize it and you 0:31:41.120 --> 0:31:46.320 acknowledge it, and you go, Okay, I'm not I'm not 0:31:46.400 --> 0:31:49.080 the only intelligent thing in this room. There's something else 0:31:49.160 --> 0:31:53.800 in here with me that's also intelligent and able to 0:31:53.880 --> 0:32:00.000 interact to some degree, and uh, I don't know why. 0:32:00.000 --> 0:32:02.120 Why is that scary? I guess it's just, you know, 0:32:02.800 --> 0:32:07.520 that fear of the unknown, just that it must just 0:32:07.600 --> 0:32:14.880 be that very general fear of the unknown. And I 0:32:14.920 --> 0:32:18.440 am sure that I've had other paranormal experiences, and like 0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:20.480 it's this is one of those shows where it's like, 0:32:20.520 --> 0:32:23.600 as soon as I'm done recording, I'll be like, oh, crap, 0:32:23.720 --> 0:32:26.440 I forgot to tell this story or that story. I mean, 0:32:26.480 --> 0:32:28.000
