Speaker 1: Ready to be by the Wizard of Weird. This is
Speaker 1: Strange Warren. I am Joshua Wie Warren, and each week
Speaker 1: on this show, I'll be bringing you a brand new
Speaker 1: my blowing content, news exercises, and weird experiments you can
Speaker 1: do at home, and a lot more on this edition
Speaker 1: of the show. Who is Senor Mysterioso? Yes? Who is
Speaker 1: Senior Mysterioso? Hmmm, that's a good question. It's a good question,
Speaker 1: isn't it. Do you even know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 1: I seriously doubt it. But this is not a joke
Speaker 1: or a fluke. It's a real topic, and I guess
Speaker 1: I should just begin by telling you how it all
Speaker 1: unfolded for me. And by the way, I'm getting over
Speaker 1: a cold, so forgive me if my voice sounds a
Speaker 1: bit on the rough side. You know, George Norriy, the
Speaker 1: host of Coast to Coast AM, has just an incredibly
Speaker 1: busy schedule. I mean, he in addition to his radio show,
Speaker 1: you know, he does TV shows, and he travels all
Speaker 1: over the country every year and does these live events
Speaker 1: called George Norri Live, where he'll you know, he'll rent
Speaker 1: out a theater and sit there on stage and interview
Speaker 1: guests in person. In addition to other entertainment, George likes
Speaker 1: to sing songs and tell jokes and it's a fun
Speaker 1: time for all. And once in a while, George Norri
Speaker 1: and his producer Tom dan Heiser invite me to come
Speaker 1: to these events and be, you know, one of the
Speaker 1: guests who sits there and talks to George and then
Speaker 1: answers questions for the audience. I did one in Ashville,
Speaker 1: North Carolina, my hometown, did one of Boise, Idaho, and
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty one, George did an event in Everett, Washington,
Speaker 1: talking about Washington State. Here, of course, Everett Washington, which
Speaker 1: is outside of Seattle, and I had never been to
Speaker 1: Seattle before, and I'd always wanted to go there, so
Speaker 1: I was more than happy to fly up there. My
Speaker 1: wife Lauren came with me and we in addition to
Speaker 1: the show, since I'd never been there, I added in
Speaker 1: all this extra time so I could drive around and
Speaker 1: explore the countryside and go into the mountains where all
Speaker 1: the big foot sightings are, and go to the coast
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. Well, one of the
Speaker 1: places that was just a must see for me, one
Speaker 1: of the places on my bucket list in Seattle is
Speaker 1: this store called Archie McPhee. And I mean it's a
Speaker 1: novelty shop. I will say that it's but it's one
Speaker 1: of a kind, and I would say it is the
Speaker 1: ultimate novelty shop in the world. I was. Of all
Speaker 1: the things I did in Seattle, I mean right there,
Speaker 1: one of the top things was to go to Archie McFee.
Speaker 1: If you go to their website, and by the way,
Speaker 1: I'm not affiliated with Archie McFee, but it's McPhee McPhee
Speaker 1: McFee dot com. It says for more than thirty years,
Speaker 1: Archie McFee has been bringing strange and amazing things to
Speaker 1: the world. We design and manufacture the kinds of impractical
Speaker 1: items that make life better, says Located in Seattle, our
Speaker 1: owner Mark Pollow started the business selling rubber lizards and
Speaker 1: other crazy things out of his house in la He
Speaker 1: found that people couldn't get enough of his collectible junk,
Speaker 1: but he needed space for his company to grow. Risking
Speaker 1: it all, he packed his entire inventory into a U
Speaker 1: haul truck and headed for Seattle. In nineteen eighty three,
Speaker 1: he set up shop with two employees in Seattle's Fremont District,
Speaker 1: using the name Archie McPhee. It's fascinating story and there's
Speaker 1: actually a really cool book about the history of it
Speaker 1: called Who Would Buy This? The Archie McFee Story, And
Speaker 1: he just you know, this guy came up with all
Speaker 1: of these just like crazy, goofy novelty items and has
Speaker 1: sold I don't even know how many to stay in business.
Speaker 1: So anyway, one day, Lauren and I we drive up
Speaker 1: to the Archie McFee store and I walked inside and
Speaker 1: I was just like, oh, I mean I was. It's
Speaker 1: one of those things where it was so overwhelming to
Speaker 1: go into that store that It was almost frustrating because
Speaker 1: it's like I wanted to see everything, but all at once,
Speaker 1: and that's impossible, so I just had to take it
Speaker 1: item by item. And of course, you know, this is
Speaker 1: one of the problems with me when I travel. I'll
Speaker 1: be like, oh, I'm gonna take here's my budget for
Speaker 1: this trip, you know, and I'll have a nice little
Speaker 1: trip budgeted out, and I'll go there and I'll be like, well,
Speaker 1: let's check out the local antique stores. And before you
Speaker 1: know it, I'm like boxing up stuff and shipping it
Speaker 1: back to myself. I get home and my trip costs
Speaker 1: twice what I was expecting because I buy all this stuff, like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna find that anywhere else. It's like earlier
Speaker 1: this year, you know, we went to San Diego on vacation,
Speaker 1: and like two hours before our airplane left, we go
Speaker 1: to San Diego Antique and Unique and uh walk in
Speaker 1: and Lauren goes, wow, look at that beautiful vintage Italian fountain. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like a big fountain, Like, hmm, how can we get
Speaker 1: that to Vica. Gotta have it. So anyway, like you know,
Speaker 1: a few days later, after I'm back from the trip,
Speaker 1: a truck pulls up my driveway. There's two people like
Speaker 1: unloading a fountain and all these other box It's like, man,
Speaker 1: that was an expensive vacation. Getting back to the story
Speaker 1: at hand, as I was walking through Archie McFee and
Speaker 1: they also have in addition to their products, they have
Speaker 1: interesting exhibits and displays and they have gaffs and interactive
Speaker 1: stuff you can do. I started seeing these products about
Speaker 1: Signor Mysterioso. Now I'm talking about things like air fresheners
Speaker 1: and refrigerator magnets and lapel pins and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: and it just has this guy. He's standing there with
Speaker 1: his arms behind his back, wearing a white three piece
Speaker 1: suit and a white fedora, and he has a little
Speaker 1: mustache and kind of an expressionless face. And I was
Speaker 1: just like, well, who is Signor Mysterioso? Right? And there
Speaker 1: was I never saw a good explanation for so I
Speaker 1: was like, whatever the marketing is here, it's working for me.
Speaker 1: So I actually bought some Senior Mysterioso stuff, not even
Speaker 1: knowing who Signior Mysterioso was, and didn't even ask them
Speaker 1: because again I just like had too much on my mind.
Speaker 1: So then I got back home and I started going
Speaker 1: through my stuff, and I was like, who is this
Speaker 1: guy seenor masterios this rather pleasant, mild mannered looking man
Speaker 1: wearing the fedora. And I realized that back and around
Speaker 1: the year two thousand, Archie McPhee actually made a Senior
Speaker 1: Mysterio so action figure. And I thought, well, that looks cool.
Speaker 1: That looks like something I should have in my collection
Speaker 1: because it glows in the dark. And I realized that
Speaker 1: you couldn't find it anymore. I guess they don't make
Speaker 1: it anymore. And I got online and searched and searched,
Speaker 1: and I couldn't find one for sale online, and so
Speaker 1: I became very interested in just who this person is
Speaker 1: Senior Mysterioso. Well, guess what. I finally found one of
Speaker 1: these action figures online the other day and I bought it.
Speaker 1: It was not cheap and it's still brand new in
Speaker 1: the package. Now, let me read to you the back
Speaker 1: of this the card here that this action figure is on.
Speaker 1: And if I can remember, I'll ask Lauren to put
Speaker 1: a picture of this on my show's Instagram page, which
Speaker 1: is just I think it's just Joshua P. Warren podcast
Speaker 1: on Instagram. Signor Mysterioso now You're connected bring danger and
Speaker 1: mystery to your mundane existence. Featuring glow atomic suit, It
Speaker 1: says on the back, m is signor mysterioso, an extremely
Speaker 1: dangerous man or just a harmless socialite and a glowing suit.
Speaker 1: He has inexplicably become entangled in all the major events
Speaker 1: and the last half of the twentieth century, and nobody
Speaker 1: is sure just how much he knows. His motives are unclear,
Speaker 1: but there is documentation of meetings with extraterrestrials Howard Hughes,
Speaker 1: George Steinbrenner, J. D. Salinger, Chuck Norris, David P. Reinhardt,
Speaker 1: and pe Wee Herman. Photos have shown him leaving the
Speaker 1: White House late at night, but no records of his
Speaker 1: visits can be found. He once had lunch with Jack
Speaker 1: Nicholson at Pink's, although mister Nicholson's agent fervently denies this.
Speaker 1: Of course, there are internet cults that worship him. He
Speaker 1: has a Costco membership, but is not a member of
Speaker 1: the Triple A, even though they offered him his first
Speaker 1: year for free. It is said his fee for product
Speaker 1: endorsement would be record breaking. He has declined a blank
Speaker 1: check from Hollywood for the movie rights of his life
Speaker 1: and Publisher's clearing House says he is a million dollar winner,
Speaker 1: but the prize money remains unclaimed. He has never been
Speaker 1: seen without his well tailored linen suit and fedora. The
Speaker 1: function of his suit is a mystery, as is its
Speaker 1: unusual luminescence. The Men's Warehouse has engaged its finest private
Speaker 1: detectives to obtain the secret of the suit, to no ofvel.
Speaker 1: Many believe that the suit allows him to vanish into
Speaker 1: thin air, as if stepping in or out of another dimension.
Speaker 1: In some circles, the elimination of Signior Mysterioso and his
Speaker 1: atomic suit is of the utmost priority. To others, he
Speaker 1: is a sought after dinner speaker, even more so than
Speaker 1: Henry Kissinger. Who is he? Why is he here? And
Speaker 1: who trims that impressive mustache that was written by somebody
Speaker 1: with the Accoutremall company, which was the vision of Archie
Speaker 1: McPhee around the year two thousand. Sounds pretty crazy, doesn't it? Well,
Speaker 1: guess what? Guess what Sor Mysterioso is real? Yeah, bet
Speaker 1: you didn't see that one coming. And when we come
Speaker 1: back from this break, I will explain. Uh, do you
Speaker 1: like this? Show. You want me to keep doing it, well,

Speaker 1: Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will be right back.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Strange Things on the Iheartbridio and Coast
Speaker 1: to Coast a m Paranormal podcast Network. I am your host,
Speaker 1: the Wizard of Weird, Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your
Speaker 1: wormhole brain from my studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada,
Speaker 1: where every day is golden and every night is silver.
Speaker 1: A Gietato zume. And I just realized that my wife
Speaker 1: is probably going to be miffed at when she hears
Speaker 1: this show, because she's gonna say that I made it
Speaker 1: sound like that she pressured me into buying the vintage
Speaker 1: Italian fountain that we have in our atrium, and that
Speaker 1: is not the case. It was all my idea. And now, honestly,
Speaker 1: we both we both love this fountain. I guess now
Speaker 1: we'll have to put a picture of this thing also,
Speaker 1: if we can remember, on the show's Instagram page, because
Speaker 1: it is it's it's it's it's big. I mean it's
Speaker 1: it comes up to my waist. I'm six foot two,
Speaker 1: and then it has all these fancy lights and little
Speaker 1: cherubs and things on it and I've never seen one
Speaker 1: like it, uh, And we love the way it sounds.
Speaker 1: It has just that right anyway, it's it brings a
Speaker 1: lot of peace and good fung shue to the house.
Speaker 1: My wife will if you can't ever pressure me to
Speaker 1: do anything. All right, let's get back to the story,
Speaker 1: shall we. Senior mysterios So you know reading that to you,
Speaker 1: doesn't it remind you right off the bat of the
Speaker 1: Dose Equi's most interesting man in the world, Right you
Speaker 1: remember that campaign, let's see started in two thousand and
Speaker 1: six ended in twenty eighteen. Why would you end that
Speaker 1: the most interesting man in the world selling beer? I
Speaker 1: you know, I get off on these tangents and I
Speaker 1: go down these rabbit holes, and I was like, who
Speaker 1: was that guy who played the most interesting man? Is?
Speaker 1: He's an actor named Jonathan Goldsmith, and he is now
Speaker 1: eighty six years old. And because I don't remember seeing
Speaker 1: him in any other movies, but he's done a lot
Speaker 1: of work obviously over the years. And listen to this.
Speaker 1: It says that that man, and we're talking about the
Speaker 1: actor now, who was in the Dose Sequis commercials, not
Speaker 1: Senior MYSTERIOSO. Let me confuse you. The actor in those
Speaker 1: commercials Goldsmith. It says he first established himself as an
Speaker 1: actor in Western films. And it says that in this
Speaker 1: film nineteen seventy six called The Shootest, which I've heard
Speaker 1: of that, but I don't think i've seen it, he
Speaker 1: played a villain who was shot between the eyes by
Speaker 1: John Wayne, and it says John Wayne fired blood capsules
Speaker 1: from a special pellet gun at point blank range into
Speaker 1: Goldsmith's face for seven painful takes. Actors, they seem to
Speaker 1: have had more fortitude back in the day, don't you
Speaker 1: think nowadays? I don't think they would stand for that.
Speaker 1: They would want some cgi or something. Back then, John Wayne,
Speaker 1: guys like him and Jonathan Goldsmith when they decided to
Speaker 1: make a movie, they were ready to take some pain,
Speaker 1: all right, Signor Mysterioso. I'm looking at the action figure
Speaker 1: right now. It's about four and a half inches tall.
Speaker 1: It's in the plastic here that he just looks like
Speaker 1: the ultimate gentleman, three piece suit and tie, fedora mustache. Well,
Speaker 1: I started looking into it, and I figured that this
Speaker 1: was probably just some character that Archie McPhee company made
Speaker 1: up just to you know, like all their other wacky stuff,
Speaker 1: just to have an interesting product to sell. But nope,
Speaker 1: he was real. Here's one article I found right off
Speaker 1: the bat says mystery solved, Signor Misterioso is in fact
Speaker 1: a Venezuelan saint. What Well, it turns out he's not
Speaker 1: a saint, but he is getting close. This man is
Speaker 1: named Jose Gregorio Hernandez. He was born well one day
Speaker 1: after my birthday. He was born on October twenty sixth
Speaker 1: of eighteen sixty four and he died on June twenty
Speaker 1: ninth of nineteen nineteen. He was a Venezuelan physician, and
Speaker 1: it says that he became a highly renowned doctor. More
Speaker 1: so after his death. He was beadified by the Catholic
Speaker 1: Church in twenty twenty one. WHOA, So that okay, when
Speaker 1: here's what I'm not Catholic, but here's my understanding of Catholicism.
Speaker 1: After someone is dead, if that person was continues to
Speaker 1: be very highly revered by members of the Catholic Church,
Speaker 1: then they will eventually go to I suppose the bishop
Speaker 1: and they will say, we want to recommend you know
Speaker 1: that this person be uh be beatified, which means that
Speaker 1: you're on the way to becoming a saint. And if
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken here, okay, let me just make sure
Speaker 1: I don't want to I don't wanna step on anybody's
Speaker 1: toes here. It says beatification from the Latin, which is
Speaker 1: basically means blessed, is a recognition accorded to the Catholic
Speaker 1: Church of a deceased person's entrance into heaven and capacity
Speaker 1: to intercede on behalf of individuals who pray in their name.
Speaker 1: Beata is the plural form referring to those who have
Speaker 1: undergone the process of beatification. They possess the title of
Speaker 1: blessed before their names. So, uh, once, I think, once
Speaker 1: you go to a bishop and you say you know enough,
Speaker 1: people say like, we want this person to be beatified. Well,
Speaker 1: then they form a commission or a committee, I guess,
Speaker 1: and that committee investigates the person who is being recommended
Speaker 1: and goes over their life with the fine tooth comb,
Speaker 1: and then they try to figure out if that person
Speaker 1: is eligible, if they really were as good as everybody says.
Speaker 1: And then I think, after that, uh, there has to
Speaker 1: be at least a miracle that is attributed to that person.
Speaker 1: And I read somewhere I wrote this down. I heard it.
Speaker 1: I think it was a bishop say one time that
Speaker 1: for them, when they go through this process, the miracle
Speaker 1: attributed to this individual must be quote instant, comprehensive, and lasting,
Speaker 1: and so eventually this person can become a saint if
Speaker 1: it meets those requirements over time. Let me tell you
Speaker 1: more about this fellow. He was born in a small
Speaker 1: village in the state of Tourillo. I guess it's called
Speaker 1: Trujillo or Turhillo in Venezuela. It says he spent the
Speaker 1: entirety of his childhood and his hometown, where his mother
Speaker 1: worked as a housekeeper and his father sold pharmaceuticals and livestock.
Speaker 1: At the age of thirteen, he told his parents of
Speaker 1: his desire to go to law school and become a lawyer,
Speaker 1: but was persuaded by his mother to pursue a career
Speaker 1: in medicine instead, So he went off and finally got
Speaker 1: his degrees, and he graduated in eighteen eighty eight as
Speaker 1: a medical doctor. And during let's see, from eighteen ninety
Speaker 1: one to nineteen sixteen, he dedicated himself to teaching to
Speaker 1: medicine to religious practices. Well. He made two attempts to
Speaker 1: begin studies for the priesthood, but his fragile physical conditions
Speaker 1: would ultimately stand in his way. That's interesting, isn't it.
Speaker 1: He's a great doctor, but he has some I don't
Speaker 1: know what they mean by fragile physical conditions, but he
Speaker 1: decided I guess, combining his medical prowess with his faith
Speaker 1: to start treating the poor for free, and even bought
Speaker 1: the medicines with his own money. He published some important
Speaker 1: papers in some scientific journals. It says when nineteen eighteen
Speaker 1: hit with the Spanish flu there in Venezuela, he treated
Speaker 1: patients freely all over the place and just had a
Speaker 1: knack for healing people, using both faith and prayer as
Speaker 1: well as well science. And then it says that he
Speaker 1: died in nineteen at the age of fifty four, when
Speaker 1: he was struck by an automobile. How about that? Is
Speaker 1: that something he helps all these people and then he
Speaker 1: gets hit by a car. Hopefully it was a fast
Speaker 1: and painless death. But says here after his death, Hernandez's
Speaker 1: fame began to spread. Claims were made around the country
Speaker 1: that miracles had been experienced in cases where his intercession
Speaker 1: before God had been evoked. Eventually, his name became known
Speaker 1: all over Latin America and Spain. His healing help is
Speaker 1: often invoked by both doctors and patients. He is also
Speaker 1: called upon for protection during overland journeys. In nineteen forty nine,
Speaker 1: Venezuelan Catholic Church officials began the process of determining whether
Speaker 1: or not Hernandez was eligible for sainthood. In nineteen eighty five,
Speaker 1: the Holy See granted him the title of Venerable, and
Speaker 1: then the next step in the pros for Hernandez was
Speaker 1: that of beatification. Okay, so you got to be venerable
Speaker 1: before you can be beatified. I thought there was a
Speaker 1: step in there. In June of twenty twenty, Pope Francis
Speaker 1: decided in favor of the beatification of Jose Grigorio Hernandez
Speaker 1: after the recovery of a girl who had been shot
Speaker 1: in the head, and this had been recognized as a
Speaker 1: miracle attributed to him. The solemn proclamation was made in
Speaker 1: a mass celebrated on the thirtieth of April twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: All Right, we're up on a break. When we come back,
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit more about Like there's a
Speaker 1: relic from this guy. There's a part of his dead
Speaker 1: body that travels around and people say it heals them.
Speaker 1: Maybe you could take advantage of this. I don't know.
Speaker 1: There's a lot to talk about, but well, just stay tuned.
Speaker 1: I'm Joshua pe Warren, and you're listening to strange things
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network,
Speaker 1: and I will be back after these important messages. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to
Speaker 1: Coast AM Paranormal Podcast net work. I'm your host, Joshua P. Warren,
Speaker 1: and this is the show where the unusual becomes usual.
Speaker 1: You know, I just realized that I may have actually
Speaker 1: made my wife more angry at me by saying what
Speaker 1: I said in the last segment, because what if she says,
Speaker 1: you know, I wasn't niffed that in the first segment,
Speaker 1: you suggested that I pressured you into buying the vintage
Speaker 1: Italian fountain until you brought it up again in the
Speaker 1: second segment, and then that made it sound like I
Speaker 1: really did pressure you into buying it, because now people
Speaker 1: will think that, you know, I'm the kind of person
Speaker 1: who would be miffed over something like that, and that
Speaker 1: you had to backpedal to make sure that I wasn't miffed,
Speaker 1: even though now I aunt geez, you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: just going to shut up right now, or she's going
Speaker 1: to be super pod. Okay, what was I talking about?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Senior mysterioso. So there is this article here, Well,
Speaker 1: let's see. Oh yeah, this is Reiters published Uh well,
Speaker 1: October twenty sixth, on his birthday. Twenty twenty says Venezuela
Speaker 1: exumes remains of doctor beatified by Vatican. Yes, Senor Mysterioso
Speaker 1: Venezuelan forensic experts on Monday exum the remains of Jose
Speaker 1: Grigorio Hernandez, whose beatification decree was signed by Pope Francis.
Speaker 1: It says, the Vatican announced the beatification of Fernandez, a
Speaker 1: doctor known for treating the poor during the Spanish flu
Speaker 1: pandemic a century ago. His remains were exhumed. Isn't that weird?
Speaker 1: His remains were exhumed in a ceremony at a church
Speaker 1: in Caracas, quote to guarantee the prolonged preservation of his
Speaker 1: body end quote. The exhumation will collect relics, including skeletal
Speaker 1: remains and clothing, which will be distributed to dioceses in Venezuela,
Speaker 1: the Holy See and the sanctuaries created in other countries
Speaker 1: in honor of Hernandez. U It says he was of course,
Speaker 1: they talked about a little bit of his life, known
Speaker 1: as the Doctor of the Poor, died in nineteen nineteen
Speaker 1: after being hit by a car, And then it says
Speaker 1: the church cited Yaxeri Solarzano, a girl who in twenty
Speaker 1: seventeen defied doctor's predictions that she would either die or
Speaker 1: be unable to walk and speak after being shot in
Speaker 1: the head following an attempted robbery. She was ten years
Speaker 1: old at the time, so that's more detail on that case.
Speaker 1: It is said that her mother prayed to Hernandez to
Speaker 1: save the life of her daughter, and her daughter walked
Speaker 1: out of the hospital several weeks later after fully recovering
Speaker 1: from her injuries. Isn't that something? I don't know who
Speaker 1: started calling him signor mysterioso. By the way, I haven't
Speaker 1: found that, but I guess you know, it kind of
Speaker 1: makes sense. He he just looks like such a mysterious guy.
Speaker 1: Here's a piece Miami arch dot Org. It says when
Speaker 1: she had kidney surgery eighteen years ago, Lydia Alcala prayed
Speaker 1: to Jose Gregorio Hernandez, known as the Venezuelan Doctor of
Speaker 1: the poor. She prayed that everything would go well after
Speaker 1: since a week after the procedure. Quote, he visited me.
Speaker 1: It was him. He came as a doctor with two
Speaker 1: assistants and opened to the wound. He told me not
Speaker 1: to worry, that everything was fine. She went on to say,
Speaker 1: since then, I have not felt any pain. I am
Speaker 1: doing very well. End quote. She only has one kidney
Speaker 1: and everything's just going fine for her. And you know,
Speaker 1: it says, listen to this now. It says that Miami
Speaker 1: was the last stop of a ten day visit to
Speaker 1: several US cities, including New York, Washington, d C. And Boston,
Speaker 1: where this cardinal had masses, and he brought with him
Speaker 1: a relic of Jose Gregorio, whom Pope Francis had just
Speaker 1: declared blessed a year ago. The relic was a phalanx
Speaker 1: that's a piece of a finger, a phalanx of one
Speaker 1: of his fingers, and it's going to remain in a
Speaker 1: cathedral in Caracas. And then the cardinals said, quote, but
Speaker 1: we have also left authentic relic relics and cities we
Speaker 1: have visited in quote. Wow that how strange is that?
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people they die and they
Speaker 1: get cremated. But what I mean, what do you do?
Speaker 1: I guess like there are no no relics from Saint
Speaker 1: Joan of arc right, But so you dig up a
Speaker 1: dead person and you get the remains, and you take
Speaker 1: those remains around, and people believe those remains have power. Uh,
Speaker 1: if you go to look up exactly what a relic is.
Speaker 1: In religion, a relic is an object or article of
Speaker 1: religious significance from the past. It usually consists of the
Speaker 1: physical remains or personal effects of a saint or other person,
Speaker 1: preserved for the purpose of veneration as a tangible memorial.
Speaker 1: Relics are an important part or aspect of some forms
Speaker 1: of Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Shamanism, and many other religions. Relic
Speaker 1: derives from a Latin word which means remains. I remember,
Speaker 1: of course very well. Of course, you know, I used
Speaker 1: to spend a lot of time in Puerto Rico, and
Speaker 1: whenever people would come to Puerto Rico, even though I
Speaker 1: lived in Bocrone, which is on the opposite side of
Speaker 1: the island from San Juan, people would come to Puerto
Speaker 1: Rico and I'd take them on excursions, and I would
Speaker 1: always take them into the Basilica there in San Juan,
Speaker 1: where there is well, at least there was, I haven't
Speaker 1: been there in seven years now, but a glass case
Speaker 1: that had the body of at Saint Pius, a Roman martyr,
Speaker 1: and they had kind of like a fake face on him.
Speaker 1: I think it was kind of like a wax face. Uh,
Speaker 1: and that you could still see very clearly parts of
Speaker 1: his skull and uh, let's see. I wonder I don't
Speaker 1: remember when when he died exactly, but also that that
Speaker 1: church is cool because it has the tomb of Pulse
Speaker 1: de Leon, Poulse de de Leon, the first governor of
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico, who also, of course was famous for searching
Speaker 1: for the Fountain of Youth. And I I think I
Speaker 1: could make a pretty good case that he found the
Speaker 1: Fountain of youth in some of Puerto Rico's bioluminescent days,
Speaker 1: because Puerto Rico has more year round bioluminescent days than
Speaker 1: any other place in the world. And there's let me
Speaker 1: just tell you, if there's one thing that you have
Speaker 1: to do before you die, go to Puerto Rico. Go
Speaker 1: go out to the island of Yaka and jump into
Speaker 1: the like have a boat take you out. Hopefully they
Speaker 1: still do that. Some people are against letting people swim
Speaker 1: in the biobay, but I bet they still do. Have
Speaker 1: somebody take you out. To that biobay and just jump
Speaker 1: into that warm water about you know, eight or nine
Speaker 1: o'clock at night, after you've had a couple of RUMs,
Speaker 1: and it's it'll be the most magical moment of your life.
Speaker 1: So Senior Mysterioso is now he's being his relics are
Speaker 1: being taken all around the world. It sounds like, and
Speaker 1: I don't know, would you feel okay praying to somebody
Speaker 1: like that to intercede on your behalf. Some people would
Speaker 1: say that's blasphemous to pray to anything other than God
Speaker 1: or Jesus. Well, you know what, here's I got this
Speaker 1: excuse me. I have this action figure in my hands
Speaker 1: right now, and again it's rare, and I was thinking
Speaker 1: that maybe what I would do is open this thing
Speaker 1: right here with you on the show. And I know
Speaker 1: some of you who are collectors are like, no, don't
Speaker 1: do it, that's insane. Well, you have to understand, I'm
Speaker 1: the kind of guy who like, if I buy like
Speaker 1: a vintage magazine and it's in the plastic sleeve like
Speaker 1: a comic book or something like that, I will pop
Speaker 1: it right open and pull it out and read it
Speaker 1: because it doesn't do me any good. Sitting on a shelf.
Speaker 1: I want to enjoy the words. I want to enjoy
Speaker 1: the images. I realize, yes, it's not going to be
Speaker 1: as valuable to people in the future after I am dead,
Speaker 1: but I don't really care about that. I care about,
Speaker 1: you know, experiencing what the artist wanted me to experience.
Speaker 1: So I was my part of my plan was to
Speaker 1: open the signor Mysterioso right here. But then, you know,
Speaker 1: but I was looking at it during the break and
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, he looks so good in this package.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's the art is so great.
Speaker 1: You can still see him glowing in the dark. There's
Speaker 1: kind of like an optical illusion behind him. On the
Speaker 1: back of it. The whole story is there, and I
Speaker 1: know that if I opened him then he would just
Speaker 1: get disconnected from the card that has all the information
Speaker 1: about him. And so I actually have decided, not because
Speaker 1: of any collector reasons or anything like that. I just
Speaker 1: like the way he looks in the package. So I'm
Speaker 1: going to keep him that way. And I don't think
Speaker 1: it would do me much good to open Senior Mysterious,
Speaker 1: but I'm going to charge him up, make sure he
Speaker 1: glows really well, and I'm going to put him right
Speaker 1: next to my bed and I'm gonna say senior stereo,
Speaker 1: so help me get over this cold. All right, let's
Speaker 1: see what happens. We're up on a break. You know
Speaker 1: what I speaking miracles. You know how I've been testing
Speaker 1: water from places like Lords, France, Well, it occurred to
Speaker 1: me that I should test some water from the River Jordan.
Speaker 1: That's where Jesus was baptized. When we come back from
Speaker 1: this break, I'm going to tell you what I discovered
Speaker 1: when I tested water from the River Jordan. I'm Joshua
Speaker 1: pe Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 1: and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I
Speaker 1: will be right back. Welcome back to the final segment
Speaker 1: of this edition of Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and
Speaker 1: Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host,
Speaker 1: Joshua Pee Warren, and I've been thinking about how my
Speaker 1: wife is going to feel about this pot Now I'm joking,
Speaker 1: but we see. Here's one of the reasons that we've
Speaker 1: been together for so long is because we both have
Speaker 1: a sense of humor and we're always you know, joking,
Speaker 1: and I hate to admit it, but you know, my
Speaker 1: wife Lauren, she's she's pretty smart. Occasionally she even beats
Speaker 1: me at Jeopardy and trivial Pursuit, and that's horrifying. As
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, you know, I was talking about
Speaker 1: drinking rum. I was reading about rum the other day
Speaker 1: and there is this famous Cuban singer. I don't recall
Speaker 1: his name right now, but he died when he was
Speaker 1: ninety five years old, and of course everybody would say, well,
Speaker 1: what's the key, and he said, I like to every
Speaker 1: day have mutton soup and rum. And so I thought, huh,
Speaker 1: mutton soup. Well, I'm not exactly sure what mutton is,
Speaker 1: so you know, I looked it up, and so anyway,
Speaker 1: I go, I go to Lauren and I said, hey, Lauren,
Speaker 1: you know what mutton is and she goes, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a sheep. I said, yeah, that's right, and I said
Speaker 1: I was doing some research on it, and I like
Speaker 1: to eat lamb chops. By the way, sorry vegetarians or
Speaker 1: lovers of full grown sheep. I said, I like, you know,
Speaker 1: I said, I never actually, you know, realized that like
Speaker 1: when a guy has these big, long sideburns that come
Speaker 1: down and we call them mutton chops. They call them
Speaker 1: that because they look like lamb chops. And she goes, yeah,
Speaker 1: you didn't know that. I said, I never really thought
Speaker 1: about that, before she goes, really, you know, well, how
Speaker 1: about this one, h Do you know? Do you know
Speaker 1: why we call sideburns sideburns? They were named after the
Speaker 1: American Civil War general Ambrose Burnside, who had uh sideburns,
Speaker 1: you know, dick sideburns by way of a mustache, but
Speaker 1: left the chin clean shaven. And so people just I
Speaker 1: guess they reverse the name Burnside into sideburns. So there's
Speaker 1: some useless for you. Try that out on your spouse
Speaker 1: and see if your spouse knows why mutton chops are
Speaker 1: called mutton chops. Let me know about that, and let
Speaker 1: me know if a miracle happens. Also when you invoke
Speaker 1: the name of senior mysterio. So of course, I recently
Speaker 1: did a podcast about studying water from Lords, France, which
Speaker 1: has long been associated with miraculous phenomena. And when I
Speaker 1: took that water, as you may recall, and looked at
Speaker 1: it under high magnification, I think it was about twelve
Speaker 1: hundred times. I was astounded to see over and over
Speaker 1: again these things. And this is in the distilled water. Actually,
Speaker 1: let me know what I did was I took water
Speaker 1: from lords, I put it in a distiller, evaporated everything,
Speaker 1: took what was left over, and looked at that under
Speaker 1: a microscope twelve hundred times. And I saw a bunch
Speaker 1: of particles that looked very cross like or crucifix like.
Speaker 1: And if you don't know what I'm talking about, and
Speaker 1: you haven't seen this, I turned it into a sigil.
Speaker 1: Just go to thesigil lab dot com. Sigel is spelled
Speaker 1: s I g I lvsigil lab dot com and you
Speaker 1: can scroll down. Okay, there it is. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: it right now. I have an actual picture of what
Speaker 1: I got from the Lord's water, as well as the
Speaker 1: sigil that I turned it into, and I mean, it
Speaker 1: just sort of blew my mind. I think you should
Speaker 1: take this sigil. If you are in need of some
Speaker 1: healing or some miraculous intervention, take that sigil and use it.
Speaker 1: Meditate on it. Just look at it. That's all you
Speaker 1: have to do, and let me know if anything amazing
Speaker 1: happens to you. There's also a sigil there of Einstein's brain,
Speaker 1: but that's another podcast I did. My point is I
Speaker 1: was astounded by how cross like and how sort of
Speaker 1: archetypal these these objects were. They came from the Lord's water.
Speaker 1: And so then I was thinking about, you know, other
Speaker 1: water to test, and I'm going to have a podcast
Speaker 1: coming out soon with some world class, unprecedented results regarding parasigmatics.
Speaker 1: But I took water from the River Jordan. You know,
Speaker 1: you hear about the River Jordan. That is where Jesus
Speaker 1: was baptized in the Levant that flows roughly north to
Speaker 1: south through the Sea of Galilee and drains to the
Speaker 1: Dead Sea, passes by or through Jordan, Syria, Israel, and
Speaker 1: the Palestinian territories. And not only is this where Jesus
Speaker 1: was baptized, but the Israelites crossed this river into the
Speaker 1: Promised Land. Joshua led them into the Promised Land. If
Speaker 1: you know that Bible story Moses, he didn't he was
Speaker 1: not allowed to take them all the way into it.
Speaker 1: He got them, he got them pretty close. He got
Speaker 1: to look at it from a mountaintop, and Joshua took
Speaker 1: him into the Promised Land. And it was actually I
Speaker 1: think the if I recall properly. The Bible says it
Speaker 1: was during like a flood season and it was pretty
Speaker 1: treacherous to get across the river at that time. So anyway,
Speaker 1: I know, there's no way I'm gonna fly over there
Speaker 1: right now and collect any water from the River Jordan.
Speaker 1: But I did find what I believe to be a
Speaker 1: credible source. I have no way of knowing for certain,
Speaker 1: a credible source of Jordan river water, and I ordered it,
Speaker 1: which is the same thing I did with Lords. Lords
Speaker 1: is a little easier to verify because that you know,
Speaker 1: there's like a gift shop there. You're getting stuff from
Speaker 1: their gift shop. But so I bought this water that
Speaker 1: supposedly from the Jordan River. I did the same thing,
Speaker 1: put it in a distiller, rated it down, took what
Speaker 1: was left over, put it under the microscope, and it
Speaker 1: just looked like a bunch of random blobs scattered all
Speaker 1: over the place. And that's what I've gotten so far
Speaker 1: from every other water than the water I got from Lords.
Speaker 1: And so why it's like the more I do this,
Speaker 1: the more significant I think the water from Lords is.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it has to do with
Speaker 1: the water itself or if it has to do with
Speaker 1: the fact that the water is very highly blessed. For
Speaker 1: one thing, it's exposed to all these people who are
Speaker 1: there generating this enormous amount of positive energy and healing energy.
Speaker 1: But then also it's specifically blessed by a priest before
Speaker 1: it gets to you. I haven't made it to a
Speaker 1: Catholic church yet to collect some of their holy water,
Speaker 1: like a local Catholic church, to put under a microscope
Speaker 1: and see what it looks like. That's that's on my
Speaker 1: list of many, many things to do. But so I
Speaker 1: wish I could report to you that I saw something
Speaker 1: fantastic about the water from Jordan. But again the fact
Speaker 1: that I did not goes even further to enforcing how
Speaker 1: that there's something special about the water that I got
Speaker 1: from Lord's And again, if you don't know what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about, just go to thesigital lab dot com s
Speaker 1: I G I L and scroll down looking at use
Speaker 1: it for free and also if you want to get
Speaker 1: a personalized sigil. As I record this, we are accepting
Speaker 1: requests today. We're about to bump the price up. It
Speaker 1: may already be bumped up by the time you hear this.
Speaker 1: We we gave everybody a little bit of a discount
Speaker 1: for the holidays, but that is not gonna last very long.
Speaker 1: I guess here's one one thing I'll leave you with.
Speaker 1: If you follow me and my work, you probably know that. Well.
Speaker 1: Lauren and I love chihuahua's and we have a little
Speaker 1: chihuahua and her name is Dolly, And you know, sometimes
Speaker 1: she sleeps in the bed and sometimes she sleeps downstairs.
Speaker 1: And she loves her little cage. We don't even have
Speaker 1: to close the door on her cage. She just goes
Speaker 1: there and loves it. And she's she's got like a
Speaker 1: hating pad and stuff in there. This dog is spoiled.
Speaker 1: And today, just today, I looked on I have a
Speaker 1: very extensive alarm system in my house with cameras and everything.
Speaker 1: So at one point she alerted like one of my
Speaker 1: cameras went off, and she popped her head up and
Speaker 1: she's looking around like there's something downstairs. And I was
Speaker 1: asleep upstairs, and then and I heard some kind of
Speaker 1: weird noise and then I heard what sounded like, I
Speaker 1: don't know an EVP. I mean, this just this just
Speaker 1: happened hours ago. And I'm not big on EVP. If
Speaker 1: you send me something like an EVP, I'll probably just
Speaker 1: turn around and forward it to my buddy Dean Warsing.
Speaker 1: He's the real expert on that. I did do a
Speaker 1: show episode twelve called Amazing Paranormal Audio that you can
Speaker 1: listen to, but I'm not an EVP expert, but I
Speaker 1: swear it sounded like something may have been talking downstairs,
Speaker 1: and that's right next to where Kennedy the Haunted Doll is,
Speaker 1: and so I may have an update for you on
Speaker 1: that soon, but for now, my friends, we are out
Speaker 1: of time. I hope you've enjoyed the show, but do
Speaker 1: yourself a favor. Take a deep breath, if you can,
Speaker 1: close your eyes, let us all meditate together on the
Speaker 1: good Fortune tone. That's it for this edition of the show.
