I've been sitting on this for three years 20 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: and I'm excited to tell you about it. I was 21 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: just given the green light to finally release this at 22 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: its footage of something very strange at a powerful, famous location. 23 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: So this one will surprise and delight you. But let's 24 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: get into this question of whether or not Halloween is bad. 25 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: When I was a teenager growing up in the rural 26 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: mountains of western North Carolina, the father of a teenage 27 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: girl in my neighborhood stormed into my workplace shouting at me, 28 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: accusing me of basically being satanic, and telling me that 29 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: I was forbidden to date his daughter. The good news 30 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: is I actually wasn't really interested in his daughter, So 31 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: this is not a sad story. It's it was kind of, uh, 32 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: a relief in a way, because I was feeling like 33 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: pressure in a little bit that I should go out 34 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: with this girl. But let me let me explain to 35 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: you what happened and the point that I'm trying to 36 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: make here. Okay, I started writing articles and publishing them 37 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: and books and all that kind of stuff when I 38 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: was really young. I started writing my first book when 39 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: I was like fourteen. Came out when I was fifteen, 40 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: and my first book was a collection of scary short 41 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: stories and poems called Joshua Warren's Gallery of Mystery and Suspense. Uh, 42 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: good luck finding a copy of that now. I think 43 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: I have a digital copy somewhere that I probably have 44 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: never released. Maybe I'll do that one of these days. 45 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Maybe I did not forgot about it. 46 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: But anyway, that was my first attempt at at trying 47 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: to be a professional writer. And so growing up in 48 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: western North Carolina, surrounded by all these legends and folklore 49 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: and stuff, I like these spooky tells, and so my 50 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: book it had stories that were scary, but in no 51 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: way did it glorify the dark side. I mean, like, 52 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: for example, the kinds of stories were like there were 53 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: there were violent stories, like there was one about this 54 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: statue that would come to life and kill people. And 55 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: there was one about this kid who was living in 56 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: a in a haunted bedroom. Uh it's that kind of stuff. 57 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 1: But uh, the the the bad things in the stories 58 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 1: were presented as bad things because these were supposed to 59 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: be scary. I wasn't saying these were good, good guys. 60 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: I was saying, like, no, be afraid of this dark, 61 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: evil stuff. That's that's the whole point. If anything, you 62 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: could say it, uh, reinforced having faith in the good side, 63 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: the spiritual side. I mean, you could make that case, 64 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: especially when you consider, as I've said before that the 65 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: Bible is the most paranormal book ever written, full of 66 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: very scary things, including a lot of demonic activity and exorcisms, 67 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: and like, the Bible is a scary book, especially if 68 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: you take all that to heart, you know, So, so 69 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: the book that I wrote should have been a non 70 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: threatening book. People automatically, though, started in my neighborhood saying, oh, 71 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: this guy's into dark stuff. There was a satanic panic 72 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: that had gone on in the nineteen eighties when everybody, 73 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: every rebellious kid was called a statanist, and they were 74 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: on the daytime talk shows, and if you were into 75 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,679 Speaker 1: horror movies or Halloween, oh that's that's that's devil worship. 76 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: So that all went on, and um, and I was 77 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: often associated with that, just because I like scary stories 78 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: and so bearing that in mind, and you also have 79 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: to realize like Billy Graham, Reverend Billy Graham literally lived 80 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 1: a few miles down the road and there was a 81 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: church on every corner. I mean, very much part of 82 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: the Bible Belt area. Of Western North Carolina. So, um, 83 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: I was probably I'm thinking like seventeen at the time. 84 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: And the lunch lady at my school, uh, she always 85 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: was very interested in the work that I did, and 86 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: she she was supportive. And she told me one day 87 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: she was like, there's this nice Christian girl who who 88 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: lives and you know, like it was she would literally 89 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: live like right down the road from me, and she goes, 90 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: you know, I bet she loved to go out on 91 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: a date with you. I need to introduce you, guys. 92 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: But and she was homeschooled. So so anyway, finally I said, okay, fine, 93 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: I'll go meet with this girl's family. So they invited 94 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: me over for dinner. And I went over to the 95 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: house and here was the father, who looked like Michael 96 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: Douglas and uh, and here's the mother and and she's 97 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: a very pleasant lady, and the daughter was was a 98 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: very polite, you know, sweet young lady. And there's of 99 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: course pictures of Jesus all over the house. And we 100 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: sat down, we had a nice dinner, and then afterward, 101 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: I mean it kind of felt a little too old 102 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: fashioned because afterward he kind of like was like, I 103 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: give you permission to dig my daughter kind of thing, 104 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: and I was thinking I did. I wasn't really exactly 105 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: coming here for that, but okay, fine, she seemed like 106 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: a nice enough young lady that I could just go 107 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: see a movie with her or something like that. I've 108 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: had lots of platonic friends who are females throughout my 109 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: entire life, and uh, at least since what I tell 110 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: my wife, No, I'm serious, I'm serious. And so basically 111 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: what happened was, uh, I went one day and I 112 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,239 Speaker 1: picked her up and we went to like a fast 113 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: food restaurant, and then we went to the mall and 114 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: we watched a movie and I took her home. And 115 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: she was absolutely like she was described. I mean, she 116 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: never cursed, she never said anything bad about anybody, you 117 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: know how like a lot of times the kids who 118 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: were raised in the super Christian families end up being 119 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: the ones that rebel, like, oh that's that's the troublemaker. 120 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: The parents just don't know. It wasn't like that at all. 121 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: She really was just a very um let me Ellien 122 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: put it this way. She was a very faith centered 123 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: person and she was genuine and I you know, so 124 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: we had a nice time. Uh, and I would have 125 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: hung out with her more, but I just she wasn't 126 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: my type romantically, so to speak. So I wasn't really 127 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: interested in pursuing that. But nonetheless, at some point in 128 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: the midst of this, her dad got ahold of my book, 129 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: which I assumed that he probably already knew I had 130 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: written a book. That's kind of an unusual thing for 131 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: somebody my age. So here I was working at this 132 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: place of business, and again, I'm probably like seventeen years old. 133 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: The door flies open, I'm a clerk at the counter. 134 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: He comes inside, He's got the book. He slams it 135 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: down on the counter, and he's yelling at me and saying, 136 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: this is trash, this is a devil worship, this is Satanic. 137 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: Don't ever come around my daughter. Blah blah blah, blah 138 00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: blah blah. And it was actually just, uh, it was shocking, 139 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: but at the same time, uh, it was not. You 140 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: would think it would be more surprising than it was, 141 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: because I was used to dealing with that kind of thing. Uh, 142 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: had been going on for years already. And so of 143 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: course after that, you know, I I I never obviously 144 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: tried to contact his daughter again, but I thought to myself, 145 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: especially now that I'm a grown man. I look back 146 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: and I think, what a childish thing for a grown 147 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: man to do, especially a man who looks like Michael Douglas. 148 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 1: It's just child childish and stupid. And uh, you know, 149 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 1: he could have gotten that message across another way. And 150 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: I think that that is part of the problem that 151 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: a lot of times, when people overreact to this kind 152 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: of stuff that's rather harmless, they give it power, They 153 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: make it more attractive to people who want to twist 154 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: it into something dark. For example. Of course, when I 155 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: was growing up, marijuana was strictly illegal. I mean you 156 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: could go to prison. Even when I was a grown man, 157 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: if you got caught with some marijuana, you could go 158 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: to jail. And now you know, I live in Las Vegas, 159 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: and Las Vegas is just like many other places where 160 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: you can go to the store and walk in and 161 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: a sells marijuana sells person won't come up, and they'll 162 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: tell you about their wears, and you can pick and 163 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: choose all these varieties of marijuana that you want and 164 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: take it home and enjoy it, or they'll deliver it 165 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 1: to your house. I mean the world has changed so 166 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: much just in my lifetime, and so the attitudes regarding 167 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff has changed as well. So that's 168 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: that's part of the good news. But what I one 169 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 1: of the reasons I wanted to talk to you about 170 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: this was because recently, well, okay, I think some people 171 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,599 Speaker 1: can handle spooky stuff and some people cannot. I was 172 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: rely watching this series on Netflix called Dahmer. It's about 173 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Dahmer, Dahmer Monster, the Jeffrey Dahmer Story, and this 174 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,839 Speaker 1: is a fictionalized version of what he did, but it's 175 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: supposed to be very accurate. And then I think they've 176 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: also come out with a like a documentary version, but 177 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: that I haven't seen yet. Okay, when we come back 178 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: from this break, I'm gonna tell you about a moment 179 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: and this show about Jeffrey Dahmer that stood out in 180 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: my mind and how it applies to this question whether 181 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: or not Halloween is fundamentally bad and whether or not 182 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: it's it's good to expose yourself to this kind of 183 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: stuff or allow your children to be exposed to it. Um, 184 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna be I think you're gonna like 185 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: some of the points I'm gonna help you, uh think 186 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: about here in a minute, and then of course later 187 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: on the footage.

Welcome back to Strange Things on 207 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio and coast to coast am Paranormal 208 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 1: Podcast Network. I'm your host, the Wizard of Weird, Joshua P. 209 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 1: Warren beaming into your wormhole brain from my studio and 210 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 1: sends the Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day is golden 211 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: and every night is silver. By the way, I know 212 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: a lot of people who used to smoke marijuana just 213 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: about every day. Uh, and then they move to a 214 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: city where marijuana is legal, and they're not interested anymore. 215 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: They just don't smoke it anymore. Seriously, a lot of people. 216 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: And um, I guess this is part of the forbidden 217 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: fruit phenomenon that if you take something away from people 218 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: and you make a big deal out of it, you 219 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: can empower it. You can give it energy and attraction 220 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: by making it taboo. Uh. And so often that's what 221 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: we encounter when it comes to some of these dark 222 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: topics associated with Halloween and horror movies. By the way, 223 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: you know I I, of course I love the Halloween season. 224 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: And as a matter of fact, my birthday is October 225 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: twenty five, so it's pretty close to Halloween. And I 226 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: if you really want to hear me talking about like 227 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: the history of Halloween and tell some of my favorite 228 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: Halloween stories. Go back and listen to episode fifty two 229 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: of this podcast. It's called something like fun Halloween Tales, 230 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: Fun and Spooky Halloween Tales, And I did that last year, 231 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: and I'd love to repeat myself, but there's no point. 232 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: So just if you're in the mood for some really 233 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: Halloween e stuff, go back and listen to episode fifty two. 234 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: But okay, let's get back to the point that I 235 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: was trying to make here. So in this Jeffrey Dahmer show, 236 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: which is very accurate, I mean they used transcripts from 237 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: people in court to get it right down to the 238 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: dialogue and all the little subtle actions that supposedly occurred 239 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: between him and other people. They show that Jeffrey Dahmer 240 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: was cessed with the movie called The Exorcist three. Uh, 241 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: and that came out in nineteen ninety and it was 242 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: I think it was actually written and directed by William 243 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: Peter Bladdie, who was the guy who wrote the original 244 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: Exorcist novel. But he loved that movie Exorcist three so 245 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: much that that's how he would pump himself up. But 246 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: if when he was going to kill somebody, a lot 247 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: of times he would make that person watch The Exorcist three, 248 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: and uh, not only did he talk about that, but 249 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: the reason he got caught was because, you know, this 250 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: one guy got away and he and the guy said 251 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: that Dahmer was sitting there watching this movie and he 252 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: would he went into kind of like a trance state 253 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: where he's closed his eyes and he starts chanting and 254 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: murmuring all this weird stuff. And so this inspired him 255 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: this movie. And so a lot of people can be like, oh, man, 256 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: well that movie is evil. Look at that. That movie 257 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: inspired this man to do all that stuff. But so 258 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: here's the problem. That movie cost eleven million dollars to 259 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: make and it earned forty four million dollars at the 260 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: box office, and there's no telling how much it has 261 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: made since them. How many people watch that movie who 262 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: did not become a Jeffrey Dahmer Just about everybody. Okay, 263 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: people watched that movie and they didn't go out and 264 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: kill and eat people. And it's easy to always, you know, 265 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: we we we try to explain, like why do evil 266 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 1: people do evil things? That's natural to why? Why? Why? 267 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: That's the first question that we often ask. I think 268 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: maybe we ask how and then why what you have 269 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 1: to understand is that people have been extremely violent throughout 270 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: the course of history, long before there was an Internet 271 00:17:53,840 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: or TV or movies or video games. Some people are 272 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 1: just more prone to violence. If anything, we live in 273 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: a less violent world now then we did a hundred 274 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: years ago, or certainly a thousand years ago. We just 275 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 1: see the violence that occurs now more due to cameras 276 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: everywhere and the Internet and mass media. So the sad 277 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: news is that even though there is less violence overall, 278 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: humans still seem to be as sinister as ever, especially 279 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: when you have power hungry people that are always going 280 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 1: to try to take over the world, and and and 281 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: apparently nothing can change that. I guess that is the 282 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: nature of life on Earth. This whole this whole place 283 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: is about the battle between good and evil. Now, perhaps 284 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: there is a place where that battle does not exist, 285 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: some other dimension and some rung of the afterlife, But 286 00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: here on this plane, on this earth, it appears it 287 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: always will. So is Halloween bad. It can give bad 288 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 1: people an excuse to give into the dark side, but 289 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't make or break anybody. You know, B T. 290 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: K the serial killer, one of the worst ever. He 291 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 1: was a church leader and a boy Scout leader and 292 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: an a d T security tech and a county employee. 293 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: I think he even used church computers to send some 294 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: of his letters to the cops, which is what got 295 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: him called. A church going man could be evil, and 296 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: a devil worshiper can be evil, and an atheist can 297 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: be evil. So pick your poison. But thinking about concepts 298 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: alone does not make a person evil. Thinking about concepts 299 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: allows one actually to become intelligent and hopefully successfully to 300 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 1: turn I'm been good from evil. I'm not saying that 301 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: you that you should expose everybody to this. If you 302 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: know somebody who seems like they're already moving in a 303 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: dark direction, maybe that person can't handle being exposed to 304 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 1: some of this darker material. Yeah, and that's I mean. 305 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: I'm not saying this is for everybody. But I'm also 306 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: saying we can't just explain this as a cause for 307 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 1: people who do bad things. Halloween can be a wonderful 308 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: and refreshing time to acknowledge our relationship to a spiritual 309 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: realm and think about death and therefore appreciate life and 310 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: behave ourselves, distancing ourselves from bad spirits. But regardless, part 311 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: of all this is being intelligent enough to not take 312 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: everything so literally serious. Having a sense of humor is 313 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: a kind of intelligence as well. You know, one of 314 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: my favorite comedians was Norm McDonald, and he died last 315 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: year of cancer. I actually got to see him in 316 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: one of his last performances here in Vegas, and he 317 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: kept it a secret that he had cancers, So it 318 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: was a big surprise when he died. Uh. But just 319 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: I'm so fortunate that I got to have that experience. 320 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 1: And yes, he'd had cancer for a long time. But 321 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: I look back and I almost feel like that Norm 322 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 1: McDonald's death just timed out perfectly with the death of 323 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 1: comedy that we're seeing in this world right now. Uh, Comedians, 324 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: they are in a very tight spot because now everybody's 325 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: so sensitive and easily offended, and they take everything so seriously. 326 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: It's hard to make a joke about anything. And the 327 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: death of comedy is a Canarian and coal mine, because 328 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: you know what, true evil people and true evil beings, 329 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: a true evil forces do not want you to laugh 330 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: because when you laugh, you're feeling good, you're feeling happy. 331 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: Evil does not want you to be happy. Evil wants 332 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: you to suffer. And so that is part of the 333 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 1: evil program, the evil design to remove any source of happiness, enjoy, 334 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 1: and release from your life. And you cannot take things 335 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: so seriously. Um, if you do, okay, if you take 336 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: things too seriously all the time, that you're willing to 337 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: to blame other people and accuse other people of being 338 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: evil because they enjoy the entertainment of thinking about and 339 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: acting out some of these you know, horror movies and 340 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 1: spooky things that we do at Halloween. Well, that implies 341 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: that you are smarter than you actually are, and that 342 00:22:54,760 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: is arrogance and that is hypocrisy. So how Halloween is 343 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 1: not inherently bad for most people. We can handle it 344 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,479 Speaker 1: and it's fine, and you can turn it, you can 345 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,239 Speaker 1: twist it and turn it into something bad because you 346 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: have a problem with it. You know, people ask me 347 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: what I'm going to do for Halloween. Being here in 348 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: the Las Vegas area, Um, there are lots of you 349 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: never know what interesting people you're gonna meet here in 350 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Speaking of another celebrity who passed away about 351 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: five years ago. I got on an elevator and I 352 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: turned around. There was Coolio the Rapper on the elevator 353 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: with me with his security guys, and I always loved 354 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: Coulio's music. You know, he just died recently, and he 355 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: was fairly young. I think he was in his fifties, 356 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: and uh, you just never know. And of course I 357 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: actually didn't say anything to him because that, um you 358 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 1: never know when you start talking to a celebrity if 359 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: they're gonna like that or not. And I kind of 360 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: respect people's privacy. But people watching is a big thing 361 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: here in Las Vegas. Just uh, I there was there 362 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: were there's just one place on the strip. Um. I 363 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: guess I shouldn't point out the name of this place, 364 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 1: but there's this place on the Strip where a lot 365 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: of folks go to have a drink on this outdoor 366 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 1: patio and they just people watch. And uh I was 367 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: there recently with my wife Lauren, and uh, you know, 368 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 1: I started talking to the bartender and I thought, this 369 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: is a pretty premost spot on the trip on the 370 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: on the Strip, and I thought that, um, I would 371 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: ask him a question that would be sort of insightful 372 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: because I was recently at this other bar in a 373 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: casino that was twenty minutes away from the Strip, and 374 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,199 Speaker 1: I asked the bartender, how much is the least that 375 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: you pay per month to have this bar in this casino. 376 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: When we come back, I'm gonna tell you how much 377 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: he pays. And then I asked that same question to 378 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: this bartender on the strip. Take a guess, how much 379 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: do you think it costs a LEASA space per year 380 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: right there on the Vegas Strip. And then speaking of comedy, well, 381 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you about this new footage that 382 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: I've been teasing. It's pretty wild. I'm Joshua pe Warren. 383 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: You're listening to Strange Things on your Heart Radio and 384 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: Coast to Coast a M Pepper normal podcast network. I'll 385 00:25:28,800 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: be back after these important messages. Welcome back to Strange 386 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: Things called the I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast 387 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: and Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua pe Warren, 388 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 1: and this is the show where the unusual becomes usual. Yeah, 389 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people like to sit on the Vegas 390 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: Strip and just people watch around Halloween. And you know 391 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: when I say Halloween these days, I'm not even really 392 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: talking about October thirty one. Usually people have their big 393 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: party on the Saturday that is closest to October one. Um, 394 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: I guess, well, usually the Saturday before October one, because 395 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: I can't think if too many people doing it after that, 396 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: so I guess that's how it will work. But anyway, 397 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: so I was curious again about like how much do 398 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: these spaces cost? And so again this I went to 399 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: this one restaurant in a casino. This is a bar 400 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: restaurant that is twenty minutes away from the strip. I 401 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: asked the bartender how much their lease is in this 402 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: spot per month and he said it is forty thousand dollars. 403 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: Let me repeat that, forty thousand dollars per month, twenty 404 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: minutes from the strip. And I'm looking at that mathematically, 405 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: and I'm like, you guys are selling a lot of 406 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: beer and because it was packed out, but still, you know, 407 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: it's it's hard to imagine how much you would have 408 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: to sell to make that worthwhile. But listen to this. 409 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: When I was sitting there at this primost spot on 410 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: the strip where you can see all the people walking 411 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 1: around and it's it's close to the Belaggio fountains and stuff, 412 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: and I asked the bartender, they're the same question, he said, 413 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: and this is not a very big space. I mean, 414 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: it's it's an okay size space. But it's not huge. 415 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: It's not giant. He said that their lease right there 416 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: was three hundred thousand dollars per month. Yeah, I'll repeat 417 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 1: that one. Also, three hundred thousand dollars a month to 418 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: rent this space for this bar right on the Vegas Strip. 419 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: Isn't that wild? Again? Mathematically, I don't know how that 420 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: works out? But anyway, I thought that was interesting and 421 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: maybe you will too. So what am I gonna do? Well? 422 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: I usually keep my plan for Halloween a secret, and 423 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: that's because I do not want to be disturbed all 424 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: Halloween season. You know. I'm I'm just like insanely busy 425 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: dealing with projects and customers and media interviews and all 426 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: this stuff. And so sometimes I actually try to get away, 427 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: you know, for my Halloween, and I tell you about 428 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: it after or the fact. But I will say this, 429 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: if you are near the Las Vegas area and you 430 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: come on my Haunted Boulder City Ghost and UFO tour, 431 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: which is an easy stroll, a sixty minute walking tour, 432 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: Boulder City is like thirty minutes outside Vegas, and uh, 433 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: you can drink a beer on the street. We meet 434 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: at beer Zombies, which is this You can imagine it's 435 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: a bark all beer zombies. We meet there. You can 436 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: get a drink and take it with you on the 437 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: one hour tour, and they're gonna have a lot of 438 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: big parties of fun stuff there. Haunted Boulder City dot Com. 439 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: Haunted Boulder City dot Com. I was talking about the 440 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: importance of having a sense of humor so that you 441 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: don't take things too seriously. And I have a lot 442 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: of friends who are comedians. Actually, Uh, it's funny. I've 443 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: I've naturally found myself friends with people who are like 444 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: age magicians and stand up comedians. Uh. And you know, 445 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: I've even shared the screen with greats like Robin Williams. 446 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: And I did a TV show while back with Rob 447 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: Riggle on the Discovery Channel. And I could go on. 448 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: But for some reason, I have fallen into those circles. 449 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of commonality between interest in 450 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: the paranormal and comedy and stage magic. Um. But three 451 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: years ago I was contacted by a stand up comedian 452 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: named Chelsea Skidmore and she has a podcast in Hollywood, 453 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: and let's see her podcasts is called the Chelsea Skidmore Show. 454 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: Simple enough, I thought that's what it was but so 455 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: Chelsea is c h E L s E A and 456 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: Skidmore is s k I D M O r E 457 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: Chelsea Skidmore Show. So three years ago she invited me 458 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: to come to Hollywood there in Los Angeles and sit 459 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: down with her in person and be on her podcast. 460 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: And it turns out that she performs a lot at 461 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: the Comedy Store, which is there in West Hollywood, and 462 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: her husband, Stephen Randolph, is also a stand up comedian 463 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: who performs at the Comedy Store, and he also has 464 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: a podcast and it's called So Deep with Steven Randolph. 465 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: He spells that ste v E n r A N 466 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: d O L p H Stephen Randolph So Deep. They're 467 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: both great podcast. And I'm sure if you type in 468 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: my name and Chelsea Skidmore you can go back and 469 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: watch the thing I did with her, because she films 470 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: her podcast at the Comedy Store. Now, if you know 471 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: anything about stand up comedy, you probably realize that the 472 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: Comedy Store in Hollywood is about the closest you're gonna 473 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: get to Holy ground in the world of stand up comedy. 474 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: This club opened in April of nineteen seventy two, and 475 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: I mean, basically, uh, anybody who has made it in 476 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: comedy went to the Comedy Store and performed there and 477 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,959 Speaker 1: it became like a second home for them. So like 478 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: I'm just looking at just the gigantic list of people 479 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: in front of me, like you know, Richard Pryor, Chris Rock, 480 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: Tim Allen, George Carlin, Jim Carey, Dave Chappelle, Robin Williams, 481 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: Louis c k. I mean, I mean, I'm just like 482 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy. I mean, if you can name a comedian, 483 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: you know, David Letterman, Jay Leno, if you can name 484 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: a comedian that person has performed at the Comedy Store 485 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: and has been a part of that culture. The stories 486 00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: there go on and on and on, because as you know, uh, 487 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: a lot of comedians have very troubled lives and tragic endings. 488 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: I mean, look at what happened to Robin Williams, for example, 489 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: he committed suicide. Um. And so there is this an 490 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: incredible amount of energy these places, not to mention the 491 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: fact that the Comedy Store for years has been known 492 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: to be haunted, not just from the energy of all 493 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: of these tortured performers and stuff. Uh and but but 494 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,959 Speaker 1: I say tortured, but like they may have had personal demons, 495 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: but when they got on that stage, like that stage 496 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: was a beacon of just unbelievable ecstasy, like a huge, 497 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: radiant ball of pad. Was like the center of the earth, 498 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: you know, being on that stage at the Comedy Store 499 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: with all these people haling with laughter. But supposedly at 500 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: one point in the past a mobster owned it, and uh, 501 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: there were some people murdered there, um, you know, and 502 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: of course lots of drugs have been done there. I 503 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: don't know that the truth about the mobster thing, but 504 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 1: I will tell you this. Uh. In nineteen nine, stand 505 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:12,360 Speaker 1: up comedians formed a short lived labor union and demanded 506 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: to be paid for appearances at the Comedy Store. Apparently 507 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: for a while they weren't even paying people. And without 508 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: getting into all the details of that um, when it 509 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 1: was resolved. After the strike, some comedians were no longer 510 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 1: allowed to perform at the club, including a man named 511 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 1: Steve Libet Kim. And after that, guess what he did? 512 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: He went next door two I think it's a hotel 513 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: called the Continental Hiatt House. Yeah, it's a two d 514 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:52,399 Speaker 1: and thirty nine room Highatt hotel. And he jumped off 515 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,280 Speaker 1: the roof and committed suicide right there in the parking 516 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: lot of the Comedy Store, and he left a suicide 517 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: note that said, my name is Steve lebe Con. I 518 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:08,879 Speaker 1: used to work at the Comedy Store. Uh, And I mean, 519 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 1: like I could probably sit here for an hour and 520 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: just tell you stories about the dramatic personalities associated with 521 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: that place. So Chelsea Skidmore said, I have this little 522 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: room at the Comedy Store where I'm able to do 523 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,839 Speaker 1: my podcast, and her podcast is also filmed, so it's 524 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 1: one of those things where you get to hear it, 525 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,399 Speaker 1: but you also see the people sitting there. I think 526 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: of that as a webcast. But anyway, so I was 527 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: very excited because she said, you know, you can come 528 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: and maybe do a little investigation and stuff here. I said, yep. 529 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 1: So Lauren and I we drove to Hollywood and I 530 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 1: went into the Comedy Store, sat down with her and 531 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: Stephen for at least a couple of hours and did 532 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: this podcast. And then after that we were able to 533 00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: do a little ghost hunt and I went into the 534 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: main room there where all of these uh, incredibly charismatic 535 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,919 Speaker 1: people have been performing, and the first thing I did 536 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 1: was I was like, okay, And of course We're the 537 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: only people there. The whole place is empty. This is 538 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: like in the afternoon. I said, I gotta stand on 539 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 1: this stage and just see what it feels like. Use 540 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: my imagination. So I walked up onto the main stage 541 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: of the Comedy Store, and I swear I felt kind 542 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: of disoriented. But I can see why that, Like this 543 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: feels like the center of the Earth. Just the the 544 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: the audience energy focused on that spot. It truly is. 545 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 1: It kind of made me feel light headed. It was 546 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 1: like a dizzying thing. And I'm looking around and I'm 547 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: feeling this incredible like cylinder, this tornado of energy, this 548 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: vortex of energy that has been sort of psychically burned 549 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: into this spot. Right. So then I go around and 550 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: I start uh doing my investigation. Now. Needless to say, 551 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:13,360 Speaker 1: obviously the place has got all kinds of erratic electromagnetic, 552 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 1: electro static fields. But one of the most surprising things 553 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: happened when I turned on a so called full spectrum 554 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 1: camera and pointed it at that stage and through and 555 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 1: only through that camera, I was able to see something, 556 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:37,280 Speaker 1: something that I cannot explain. And when we come back, 557 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what I saw and how you 558 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 1: can see it too. I'm Joshua P. Warren. You're listening 559 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 1: to Strange Things on the I Heart Radio and Coast 560 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 1: to Coast. I am Pamba Normal Podcast Network, and I 561 00:37:53,680 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 1: will be right back. Welcome back to the final segment 562 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,839 Speaker 1: of this edition of Strange Things on the I Heart 563 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 1: Radio and Coast to Coast A am Para Normal Podcast Network. 564 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,760 Speaker 1: I am your host, Joshua Pete Warren. And here I 565 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 1: was and this immortal location, the Comedy Store at West Hollywood, 566 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 1: with two stand up comedians, Chelsea Skidmore Stephen Randolph, standing 567 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:08,760 Speaker 1: back several rows away looking at the main stage. There 568 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:14,279 Speaker 1: the focal point of the universe for the most charismatic 569 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: people who have ever lived. And you could you could 570 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: almost argue that that's the case, because you know, to 571 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,800 Speaker 1: be a stand up comedian you have got to hold 572 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,239 Speaker 1: mass audiences in the palm of your hand. And these 573 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: were some of the best, I mean, these were the 574 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 1: best ever. And so uh, I had a digital camera 575 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:41,320 Speaker 1: with me, which is called a full spectrum camera. Now 576 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,279 Speaker 1: there are different versions of this kind of thing, but 577 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,480 Speaker 1: here's what it basically means. Um. Most of the time 578 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:51,880 Speaker 1: when you get a digital camera, that digital camera is 579 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:56,400 Speaker 1: capable of picking up light outside of the visible human 580 00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: uh spectrum. So in other words, we look at something 581 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 1: and we can see from red on the long end 582 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 1: up to violet on the short end red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, 583 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 1: and that we measure that nanometers and so supposedly, like 584 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 1: the average human eye is able to see from three 585 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 1: hundred eighty to seven d nanometers. But a lot of 586 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,840 Speaker 1: these cameras have filters that take out some of the 587 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 1: ultra violet and infrared light because that stuff messes up 588 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,319 Speaker 1: the picture if you want the picture to look the 589 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:44,720 Speaker 1: way it looks to the naked human eye. So people 590 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 1: don't take a picture usually because they're ghost hunting, uh. 591 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: They take a picture because they want to capture what 592 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 1: they're seeing. So there are adjustments that are made, either 593 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: with physical filters or a digital software filters that that 594 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 1: take out some of those frequencies so the colors match. 595 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 1: So when you get these so called like full spectrum cameras, 596 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,240 Speaker 1: some engineer has often gone in there and remove those filters, 597 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:14,000 Speaker 1: so the colors are gonna look off, but you're going 598 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 1: to see things that would normally be blocked out. So 599 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 1: this camera that I had was recording from two hundred 600 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 1: and eighty to twelve hundred nanometers. I know this is 601 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 1: a little geeky, but let me just go back and say, 602 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 1: the human eye can see from three eighty, which is 603 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,239 Speaker 1: that's your violet. Uh, and and this goes down to 604 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,320 Speaker 1: uh to eight, so we're looking into the ultra violet. 605 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,840 Speaker 1: And then uh, the human I can see the seven hundred, 606 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: which is red, and this goes down to twelve hundred, 607 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,440 Speaker 1: which is infra red. So you're getting more infra red 608 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 1: than ultra violet. All right, that said, I'm shining, I'm 609 00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,359 Speaker 1: I'm pointing this camera at this stage and right in 610 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 1: the middle. Actually I think it was Stephen Randolph who 611 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 1: was operating the camera, and I was standing next to him. 612 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 1: I don't remember exactly, but anyway, Stephen and I were 613 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:14,439 Speaker 1: there and we point the camera at the stage and 614 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 1: here you see, at that exact spot where the comedians 615 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 1: would stand, this bright violet aura just burned right there, 616 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,560 Speaker 1: like like a ghostly imprint, just burned in the middle 617 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 1: of that stage. And of course, at first I was like, 618 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,720 Speaker 1: could this be a reflection or some other weird effects? 619 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,720 Speaker 1: So I go around and I'm pointing it at lights 620 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: and and reflective things, and it's like, no, I could 621 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 1: not rule this out. It appeared to actually be some 622 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,359 Speaker 1: kind of an aura that was burned into the middle 623 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 1: of that stage. And I didn't have enough time to 624 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 1: to to really dig deeper into that. But after I 625 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:03,680 Speaker 1: got that, I thought, man, I may have captured evidence 626 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 1: of an imprint here. And I wanted to release this 627 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 1: three years ago, and at that time, Chelsea and Stephen 628 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: said they wanted me to hold off. And I don't 629 00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,160 Speaker 1: want to get into the reasons that they wanted to 630 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,840 Speaker 1: hold off, but they were just like, let's not release 631 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 1: this just yet. So I've been sitting on this for 632 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,840 Speaker 1: three years and finally Uh, I contacted him. They're like, Okay, 633 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 1: go for it.

And I 666 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,520 Speaker 1: was watching an interview that Orson Wells did with Johnny 667 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:22,400 Speaker 1: Carson in nineteen seventy six, and the rate Orson Wells 668 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,720 Speaker 1: said that in his opinion, and of course Orson Wells, 669 00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,839 Speaker 1: you know, he not only did he make Citizen Kane, 670 00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 1: but you know, he was a big radio guy and 671 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 1: he produced The War of the World's Scare and all 672 00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:39,680 Speaker 1: that stuff. He said that he thought that radio was 673 00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 1: a wider screen than TV. I think about that because 674 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,439 Speaker 1: at that time, you know, he had seen it moved 675 00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:50,879 Speaker 1: from radio and in and into movies and then into television. 676 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:57,680 Speaker 1: Radio is a wider w I D E R. Radio 677 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,560 Speaker 1: is a wider screen than TV. And and to me 678 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,600 Speaker 1: podcasting his radio, it's all. And he said that May 679 00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,839 Speaker 1: West said that she did not want to be on 680 00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,760 Speaker 1: TV because she did not want to be on anything 681 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,840 Speaker 1: that was smaller than life. And he thought that was 682 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:19,560 Speaker 1: a perfect statement. Orson Welles said, quote, television is sort 683 00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:23,040 Speaker 1: of a punch and Judy frame, and when you were 684 00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:27,560 Speaker 1: on radio, there was no frame. It was as wide 685 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:32,680 Speaker 1: as the world itself. You were suddenly wherever you thought 686 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: you were in quote, and I feel the same way. 687 00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 1: I think even today's biggest screens do not compare to 688 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 1: the experience you create for yourself when you are just 689 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:47,320 Speaker 1: sitting or doing whatever you're doing and listening to effective words. 690 00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 1: And I turned down most appearances on TV and whatnot 691 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 1: for that reason. I still do them from time to time. 692 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,759 Speaker 1: I just keep it fairly rare, and I'm glad it 693 00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,840 Speaker 1: has that impact on people. And I get all these 694 00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 1: inspirational emails from people who listen to the show, and 695 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:09,560 Speaker 1: here is one that comes from Charles, and he said 696 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 1: that he has been really enjoying experimenting with the good 697 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 1: Fortune tone and the money Sigel. He said that he 698 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:27,040 Speaker 1: went three weeks to Bingo in his neighborhood and he 699 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:32,959 Speaker 1: never won anything, but he started experimenting with the money 700 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,280 Speaker 1: Sigel and listening to the good Fortune tone. He says, 701 00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:40,799 Speaker 1: I went last Thursday and I won three times for 702 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:45,839 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty dollars. And then I started going 703 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:50,040 Speaker 1: back and I won more. I've now had five wins 704 00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:54,560 Speaker 1: in three trips. He says, that is the best I've 705 00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,839 Speaker 1: ever done at Bingo. I'm getting the hang of this, 706 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,200 Speaker 1: and I'm going to a couple of casino is in 707 00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks, so I'll let you know 708 00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:06,240 Speaker 1: how that goes.

Eleprichn is 713 00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:19,920 Speaker 1: gonna make it fall in your lap. But no, you 714 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 1: have to get out there and you have to take action. 715 00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,840 Speaker 1: And um. You know there's a lady who does motivational speaking. 716 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,600 Speaker 1: Her name is Jess Hughes, and she says, you can 717 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:35,280 Speaker 1: find evidence for whatever you want to believe. So whatever 718 00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:40,160 Speaker 1: you're doing, I want you to take a positive perspective 719 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:44,440 Speaker 1: on it and say, like, look, I am going to 720 00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,400 Speaker 1: manifest this that it's it's not a gift that's handed 721 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:52,360 Speaker 1: down from the nether realm or from the heavens.
