Speaker 1: edition of the show. Mars Attacks Watching a building implosion
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. Yes days ago, I had a front
Speaker 1: row seat to a demolition of a big building here
Speaker 1: in Vegas via implosion. That's where they put all these
Speaker 1: explosives in these particular areas around a structure, and when
Speaker 1: they set the explosives off the building doesn't fly out
Speaker 1: all over the place. It crumbles in on itself, and
Speaker 1: it's a very dramatic sign. Obviously, probably the biggest explosion
Speaker 1: or the biggest explosive event that you can see without
Speaker 1: going to war or maybe to some kind of mining operation.
Speaker 1: And what's especially interesting about this is some of my
Speaker 1: favorite movies are Pee Wee's Big Adventure or nineteen eighty
Speaker 1: nine's Batman with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson, or ed
Speaker 1: Wood with Johnny Depp, or The Nightmare Before Christmas. Do
Speaker 1: you see a pattern here? These are all movies that
Speaker 1: were directed by Tim Burton, and Tim Burton is currently
Speaker 1: sixty six years old. He spent a lot of time
Speaker 1: when he was young, apparently visiting Las Vegas. He was
Speaker 1: born in California, and as the young man, he was
Speaker 1: always coming to Vegas and he liked to stay at
Speaker 1: this hotel casino called the Landmark, and he was upset
Speaker 1: when they announced in nineteen ninety five they were going
Speaker 1: to demolish the Landmark by way of implosion. And the Landmark,
Speaker 1: by the way, if you've never seen it, it looks
Speaker 1: a lot like the Strat looks today. It's a very
Speaker 1: similar design. So he was upset that they were going
Speaker 1: to destroy it, but you know, being a resourceful man,
Speaker 1: Tim Burton said, well, I want to send a film
Speaker 1: crew there to properly document the implosion of this building
Speaker 1: so I can use it in my upcoming film called
Speaker 1: Mars Attacks. And that's exactly what happened. He had a
Speaker 1: professional film crew from I guess it was probably Warner Brothers.
Speaker 1: I want to say, yep, Warner Brothers that went there
Speaker 1: and filmed the Landmark being imploded. And then if you've
Speaker 1: ever seen Mars Attacks, that's in nineteen ninety six. They
Speaker 1: call it a black comedy science fiction film. It had
Speaker 1: Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Annette Binning, Pierce Brosnan, Danny DeVito,
Speaker 1: Martin Short, Sarah Jessica Parker, Michael J. Fox. I mean,
Speaker 1: the list goes on, and it's been a long time
Speaker 1: since I've seen that movie, but there is a scene
Speaker 1: where there's some kind of a meeting happening inside of
Speaker 1: what appears to be the Landmark Hotel and then it
Speaker 1: gets zapped by aliens and it crumbles, and that's real footage.
Speaker 1: And the Landmark was actually used in a variety of
Speaker 1: other movies that that implosion footage popped up in other
Speaker 1: films as well. But one reason that that's especially interesting
Speaker 1: to me is because if you come to my house
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas, even when it's not Halloween time, there
Speaker 1: is an alien. It's the alien from Mars Attacks standing
Speaker 1: there with the clear dome over its head and the
Speaker 1: ray gun. It's in the corner of my living room.
Speaker 1: It's taller than I am, and it's an animatronic. So
Speaker 1: at least subconsciously, I think about Mars Attacks every day.
Speaker 1: And frankly, the movie was not that great. I just
Speaker 1: must say. It's not one of my favorite Tim Burton films,
Speaker 1: but it is interesting that it was filmed all around
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. So there's this connection between building demolitions and
Speaker 1: Tim Burton, one of my favorite directors, in this thing
Speaker 1: in my living room, and the course the whole alien stuff.
Speaker 1: But what it's even odder about this perhaps is that
Speaker 1: you know, Lauren and I have been together for twenty
Speaker 1: seven years, and for some reason, I don't know why,
Speaker 1: when I met her, she told me early on someday,
Speaker 1: you know what I'd love to see? What's that I'd
Speaker 1: love to see one of those big buildings being demolished
Speaker 1: by implosion in Las Vegas, and I thought that's an
Speaker 1: odd thing for a person to want to see. But okay.
Speaker 1: She later told me that she thinks maybe she and
Speaker 1: her brother watched some documentary about implosions when there were
Speaker 1: kids or something, and she has some fascination with it.
Speaker 1: So I just cut me obviously. I thought, well, maybe
Speaker 1: someday that will that opportunity will present itself. Well, sure enough,
Speaker 1: just recently they announced that this giant hotel casino in
Speaker 1: Las Vegas called The Tropicana was to be destroyed by implosion.
Speaker 1: The Tropicana it was originally built there, let's see, nineteen
Speaker 1: fifty seven. By the time it closed down, it occupied
Speaker 1: thirty five acres and had one four hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: seven rooms. Big old place, I mean, a classic legendary place.
Speaker 1: There's a road called Tropicana Avenue that runs right cross Vegas,
Speaker 1: and people use Tropicana as a reference point for their directions.
Speaker 1: But if you've listened to the show for a while,
Speaker 1: you may have heard me talk about how that Vegas
Speaker 1: is becoming a big sports destination. For example, the loss
Speaker 1: let's see the Los Angeles Raiders, the LA Raiders, the
Speaker 1: football team. They moved to Vegas. So they are now
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders. And here's the next thing. The
Speaker 1: Oakland A's in Oakland, California. That's a major League baseball team.
Speaker 1: They have decided to leave Oakland, California and move to Vegas.
Speaker 1: If you've ever seen that movie Moneyball with Brad Pitt,
Speaker 1: it's about the Oakland A's. That's a very good movie,
Speaker 1: by the way. So sure enough, Oakland A's are moving here,
Speaker 1: and they decided that they wanted to build a stadium
Speaker 1: on that property where the Tropicana was sitting. And there
Speaker 1: was a lot of wheeling and dilling, and sure enough
Speaker 1: they made a deal to get the property, and so
Speaker 1: the tropicanic closed down. The experts went in there, they
Speaker 1: gutted it. They took out all the asbestos and all
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, and then all that was remaining
Speaker 1: was that the concrete skeleton of this thing. And so
Speaker 1: days ago they decided to blow it up. Now, one
Speaker 1: of my friends here in Vegas is a famous magician
Speaker 1: named Murray Salchuk, And I mean he's the kind of
Speaker 1: guy like when you're driving down the Vegas Strip, you
Speaker 1: look up and there's a billboard and there's Murray there.
Speaker 1: He's got this big shock of bleach blonde hair and
Speaker 1: he wears thick black glasses. He's very memorable looking guy.
Speaker 1: He was on America's Got Talent. He's been all over TV.
Speaker 1: He's been doing this a long time. He's in his
Speaker 1: fifties now, been doing this stuff since he was a kid.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, the podcast that I used
Speaker 1: to do was called Joshua Pee Warren Day. I still
Speaker 1: occasionally will post little special things on that feed. But
Speaker 1: if you go to if you just go to Google
Speaker 1: and you look up Joshua P. Warren Daily and you
Speaker 1: find there's hundreds of episodes. I interviewed Murray on an
Speaker 1: episode that let's see was posted on June fifth of
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. It's called I Interviewed Murray the Magician. I
Speaker 1: met Murray probably in twenty eighteen because we were working
Speaker 1: on a television project together and I won't get to
Speaker 1: the details of that, but we shot a sizzle for
Speaker 1: a TV show and the show didn't get picked up.
Speaker 1: But anyway, since then, you know, we've remained friends. And
Speaker 1: Murray is one of those guys who just has this
Speaker 1: endless supply of energy he's a huge socialite. He travels
Speaker 1: the world performing and then he comes home and he
Speaker 1: throws these big parties and invites you know, all the
Speaker 1: the who's who in Vegas to these parties. And I
Speaker 1: just so happened to be on I think it was Facebook,
Speaker 1: and this is a few months ago, and Murray the
Speaker 1: Magician he posted that he was thinking about throwing a
Speaker 1: demolition party. And that's because when I met Murray, he
Speaker 1: was performing at Planet Hollywood on the Strip, but then
Speaker 1: they changed things around there and Murray switched to the Tropicana.
Speaker 1: So Murray did this nightly show at the Tropicana for years,
Speaker 1: all the way up to the end. So he's very
Speaker 1: intimately connected with his property. So he wanted to see
Speaker 1: it go down in style, and he said, I'm thinking
Speaker 1: about throwing this party called drop the trop And the
Speaker 1: idea was that right next to the Tropicana is the
Speaker 1: MGM Grand and he was going to rent this big
Speaker 1: what they call a patio suite and we would all
Speaker 1: chip in if we were invited. And then basically the
Speaker 1: idea was we throw a big, you know, just a
Speaker 1: big party. We go out there on the patio and
Speaker 1: we watched this building collapse right before our eyes as
Speaker 1: a big dramatic special treat. And so I immediately told Murray,
Speaker 1: I said, count me in. And I just knew that
Speaker 1: Lauren was gonna be thrilled, just tickled, because you know,
Speaker 1: it's I figured it was gonna be kind of hard
Speaker 1: to get good access to something like that, and I
Speaker 1: figured if anybody would know how to do it, to
Speaker 1: be Murray the Magician. Okay, when we come back, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you what happened that night. It was a
Speaker 1: little more interesting and odd and in some ways bizarre
Speaker 1: than you might be thinking to watch something to watch
Speaker 1: history unfold like that, explosively and implosively right before your eyes. Hey,

Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast Damn Paranormal Podcast Network,
Speaker 1: and I will be right back. Welcome back to Strange
Speaker 1: Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast am Paranormal
Speaker 1: Podcast Network. I am your host, a wizard of weird,
Speaker 1: Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your wormhole brain from my
Speaker 1: studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day
Speaker 1: is golden and every unit is silver. Gietato Zume. It
Speaker 1: is amazing how quickly this city grows. It just it
Speaker 1: grows at light speed. There are more and more people
Speaker 1: here every year. They make more money every year. I
Speaker 1: have lived here going on seven years now, and of
Speaker 1: course a little over two and a half years ago
Speaker 1: I finally bought a house I was renting up until then.
Speaker 1: I bought a house and very nice neighborhood, but there
Speaker 1: really wasn't much around here when I bought the house.
Speaker 1: And now two and a half years later, there is
Speaker 1: this huge, luxurious casino which is basically on one side
Speaker 1: of me. I could practically walk to it. And now
Speaker 1: on the other side of me, they're building a big,
Speaker 1: fancy church. And so I'm between a casino and a church.
Speaker 1: It's like having the devil on one shoulder and the
Speaker 1: angel on the other. Let me tell you something, though,
Speaker 1: this better be a really fun church, because over here
Speaker 1: I got bars and food and gambling, even the Ladies'
Speaker 1: night if you know what I mean, guys, I mean,
Speaker 1: if you're not married or you can go to church.
Speaker 1: And honestly, they're already off to a bad start because
Speaker 1: the church isn't even built, and yet they have people
Speaker 1: running around the neighborhood putting these little tags on people's
Speaker 1: door knobs of their cars and houses announcing the church.
Speaker 1: It's like, so you're already off to a bad start,
Speaker 1: leaving trash on my doorstep. I don't want to say
Speaker 1: what kind of church it is, but it's not a
Speaker 1: Catholic Church. I actually kind of wish that it was
Speaker 1: a Catholic church because Catholics are just so creepy and cool.
Speaker 1: You can go to a Catholic church and you can
Speaker 1: get holy water there that you can square on vampires
Speaker 1: and werewolves. Yeah, you can confess all your sins leave
Speaker 1: there with a clean conscience. I think the Catholic Church
Speaker 1: is kind of like the Marvel expanded universe of US religions,
Speaker 1: don't you think. I mean, there's these they have all
Speaker 1: these saints that are like superheroes. This is the Saint
Speaker 1: of chefs, this is the Saint of comedians. I wonder
Speaker 1: if there's a Saint of broadcasters. I bet there is.
Speaker 1: I here's the extent of my exposure to the Catholic Church.
Speaker 1: When I was a teenager, I dated a girl who
Speaker 1: was Catholic for a while, and I'm by Catholic, I
Speaker 1: mean like really Catholic. She was from South America, and
Speaker 1: so that's where I kind of got my first real
Speaker 1: taste of what you know, mass and all that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff like in the Catholic Church. And then over
Speaker 1: the years I've had like, well, for what one time,
Speaker 1: when I was I was a young man, and I
Speaker 1: was about to go investigate this house that was where
Speaker 1: supposedly demonic activity was taking place, and the woman there
Speaker 1: claimed that she would get possessed and this sort of thing.
Speaker 1: So one of my friends took me to this big,
Speaker 1: grand Catholic church and we actually went into this little
Speaker 1: house next door where the priest lived, like the head priest,
Speaker 1: and we sat down in his office and he was
Speaker 1: telling us about how to handle demonic stuff, and he
Speaker 1: gave us some holy water, and so so we went
Speaker 1: to this woman's house and we threw it on her
Speaker 1: and it really ticked her off, so she must have
Speaker 1: had a demon. And then then when I was in
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico, there was an you might have heard me
Speaker 1: talk about, this guy named Michael Rivera who said there
Speaker 1: was a presence living in his house. And so he
Speaker 1: and I went to his priest at the Catholic church
Speaker 1: and he gave us all kinds of tips. It's very
Speaker 1: interesting when you sit down in an office with a
Speaker 1: priest and they start talking very clinically about demons. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like you're in a doctor's office talking about medicine,
Speaker 1: except they're talking very factually about demons. Anyway, let's get
Speaker 1: back to the story. So we're gonna do this demolition party.
Speaker 1: It's called Drop the trop And of course access to
Speaker 1: the Tropicana is pretty limited. But Murray the Magician, he
Speaker 1: he's the man about town here in Vegas. So I
Speaker 1: knew if anybody was going to get us a front
Speaker 1: row seat, it would be Murray the Magician. Of course,
Speaker 1: they had the engineers on the news talking about how that,
Speaker 1: how they're going to arrange this, and I guess the
Speaker 1: head engineer he said, at the moment when these explosives
Speaker 1: go off, it's going to fire these pins or whatever
Speaker 1: into these sensitive joints on this structure at five miles
Speaker 1: per second. Five miles per second. So this is dangerous
Speaker 1: business here, right, And it did cross my mind, Well,
Speaker 1: what if these guys kind of screw up here and
Speaker 1: I'm sitting right there and I get a bolt through
Speaker 1: the skull at five miles per second. Hey, at least
Speaker 1: it'd be instantaneous death. That you know, I can think
Speaker 1: of worse ways to die. I just don't want to
Speaker 1: get like nicked in the elbow or something. Well, Murray,
Speaker 1: sure enough, he follows through and he gets this room
Speaker 1: and he says, we're a go. It's a green light.
Speaker 1: So the day rolls around, they're going to demolish this
Speaker 1: building at two thirty seven am, So yeah, am in
Speaker 1: the middle of the night. On October the ninth of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, the news said that there were going
Speaker 1: to be road closures at some point around the hotel,
Speaker 1: and we didn't want to get, of course, like stuck
Speaker 1: in some weird traffic situations. So Lauren and I decided
Speaker 1: that we would go to the MGM Grand about eight
Speaker 1: o'clock because they were saying they weren't going to start
Speaker 1: closing the roads down till maybe eleven or twelve, so
Speaker 1: we could we went there and we would go there
Speaker 1: at eight, have dinner, gamble a little bit because Murray
Speaker 1: said the party would start at ten thirty pm, and
Speaker 1: so that's what we did. We went there. We had
Speaker 1: a really nice dinner at this bar, I think it
Speaker 1: was called Tap Sports Bar, and then we gambled a
Speaker 1: little bit. We were doing well, and then when ten
Speaker 1: thirty rolled around, if you were part of the party,
Speaker 1: you had to meet Murray at the bottom of this
Speaker 1: elevator because he had this swipe. You can't go up
Speaker 1: to room the guest rooms here in Vegas unless you
Speaker 1: swipe your key on the elevator to activate it. So
Speaker 1: we met Murray there about ten thirty and he swiped
Speaker 1: the thing and led us all up there. But he
Speaker 1: also said, listen, there's been a change of plans because
Speaker 1: the original idea was that he was going to have
Speaker 1: this big patio room. And he said he'd hired a
Speaker 1: two piece band and there was going to be a
Speaker 1: bartender there with an open bar and we were and
Speaker 1: some catering, you know, like like food and snacks, I mean,
Speaker 1: a really nice layout. But he said that okay. So
Speaker 1: the idea was we were going to have that with
Speaker 1: a big patio and we would all just kind of
Speaker 1: be mingling going in and out. But at the last minute,
Speaker 1: like three days before this demolition was to take place,
Speaker 1: Clark County, the county here within which we are told
Speaker 1: all the hotels you cannot have patios open, you cannot
Speaker 1: have balconies open. Everybody has to be inside. It's too dangerous.
Speaker 1: So Murray said, he gets up there on the fifteenth
Speaker 1: floor of the MGM Grand and he goes into the
Speaker 1: patio room and he looks out and he's like oh
Speaker 1: my god, we can't even see the Tropicana. It was
Speaker 1: like on the north end. This is going to be
Speaker 1: a disaster. And Murray is a very detail oriented man,
Speaker 1: as all professional magicians are, so here he has I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm sure he laid an egg when he saw this.
Speaker 1: So he goes down he starts talking to the staff saying,
Speaker 1: you know what's going on here. We have to see
Speaker 1: the buildings to drop the trop on it. So they
Speaker 1: ended up saying, here's a second room that we're going
Speaker 1: to give you on the twelfth floor, which is literally
Speaker 1: right there, directly facing the Tropicana. So, in other words,
Speaker 1: the party with the booze and the food and the
Speaker 1: band and all that is going to be on four fifteen.
Speaker 1: But when it comes time for the demolition, everybody goes
Speaker 1: down to floor twelve, where we go into this room
Speaker 1: where we get to pile around and look out these windows,
Speaker 1: and we're all hoping that we actually have a good
Speaker 1: view because now we're indoors and they're going to be
Speaker 1: reflections and we're not sure what's going to happen. So
Speaker 1: we go up to the original party room and it's
Speaker 1: really nice. It's two stories and I was surprised how
Speaker 1: many people were there because Murray said, you can bring
Speaker 1: two people with you, and I only it was just
Speaker 1: I just brought Lauren. It was just Lauren and myself,
Speaker 1: but he said they were about seventy five people altogether.
Speaker 1: So we go into this room and even though it's
Speaker 1: a big, two story room, it is quite hot and
Speaker 1: claustrophobic because this is Vegas, and I really wish that
Speaker 1: we can open that patio up and gone outside. But
Speaker 1: the band was fantastic. The bartender, she had everything you
Speaker 1: could ever want, super nice. There was I mean, a
Speaker 1: really impressive display of food and very snacks all over
Speaker 1: the place. He couldn't have done a better job. And
Speaker 1: not surprisingly, there were celebrities there. Okay, we're up on
Speaker 1: a break. When we come back, I'm going to I'm
Speaker 1: going to tell you a little bit more about what
Speaker 1: happened at these parties. I had kind of an odd
Speaker 1: experience with a celebrity. And then I actually have audio
Speaker 1: that I recorded just for you of the moment when
Speaker 1: this building that was right across the street, this historic building,
Speaker 1: blew all to pieces. You're gonna hear the reaction inside
Speaker 1: the room. I did have to do a little bit
Speaker 1: of bleeping though. I'm Joshua pe Warren. You're listening to
Speaker 1: Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Speaker 1: Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will be back after these
Speaker 1: important messages. Welcome back to Strange Things well the Eye
Speaker 1: Art Radio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Joshua P. Warren, And this is the
Speaker 1: show where the unusual becomes usual. The party is Rarin Murray,
Speaker 1: the magician and his wife, showgirl Danny, have quite the
Speaker 1: menagerie of individuals from all around Vegas and beyond. You know,
Speaker 1: people traveled from Afar for this event. As you can imagine,
Speaker 1: everybody's having a great time. And then yeah, there's celebrities there.
Speaker 1: I don't want to get into who they were, you know,
Speaker 1: that's that's crass, that's taboo. At a certain point, we
Speaker 1: moved down to the twelfth floor, which is the viewing room,
Speaker 1: and we walked in there and let me just tell you,
Speaker 1: we were just right there, dead on, looking across this
Speaker 1: exactly at the Tropicana, which is actually two towers, two
Speaker 1: big tall towers. Was too big tall towers. But again,
Speaker 1: are there are seventy five of us or so, so,
Speaker 1: I mean, space is really tight. And there was this
Speaker 1: one guy who was just sprawled out pretty as you
Speaker 1: please on this couch taking a nap. In the middle
Speaker 1: of this, there's a DJ in there playing all kinds
Speaker 1: of hardcore music. This guy's taking a nap and he
Speaker 1: had like a hand towel over his face. Well anyway,
Speaker 1: he had a pretty good position though, so I kind
Speaker 1: of sat down on this stool that was next to
Speaker 1: his cowboy boots, and his cowboy boots kept kicking me
Speaker 1: in the elbow, and I'm just like, woss this guy,
Speaker 1: you know, And then finally I look over and the
Speaker 1: somebody takes the towel off. It's a very famous man,
Speaker 1: and I know that. I it sucks for me to
Speaker 1: tell you that and then not tell you who it is.
Speaker 1: But you would know who it was if I told you.
Speaker 1: And I thought, huh, interesting. Well, everybody's getting psyched up
Speaker 1: as it's getting closer to the time two thirty seven am.
Speaker 1: They have this big fireworks display. They have this drone
Speaker 1: show that they say has it's using technology and techniques
Speaker 1: that have never been used before. Just big, glorious, amazing
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a celebration of magnificent Vegas proportions.
Speaker 1: And so then finally it came time for and I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know why two thirty seven am. And that
Speaker 1: is interesting how specific it is. And I mean, you're
Speaker 1: talking about a situation where they have to halt airplanes
Speaker 1: flying over and all kinds of stuff, so who knows
Speaker 1: what they take into consideration to come up with that.
Speaker 1: So the excite. So at this point, everybody's been drinking.
Speaker 1: I mean there's been an open bar for like three
Speaker 1: three and a half hours or something, I don't know,
Speaker 1: and so people are drinking, people are acting kind of
Speaker 1: kind of crazy. But everybody was cool, you know, everybody
Speaker 1: was fun and nice. And then here is the big
Speaker 1: moment and the excitement you're talking about building for months.
Speaker 1: So I brought a little audio recorder with me and
Speaker 1: I'm going to play for you right now the audio
Speaker 1: of the moment when the building that we were looking
Speaker 1: at came down. Because what we're talking about here is
Speaker 1: it's the middle of the night, you're looking out a window,
Speaker 1: you've just seen fireworks. Everybody psyched, and then you start hearing.
Speaker 1: And first we heard the other tower, Uh, coming down,
Speaker 1: and then the one right in front of us came down.
Speaker 1: Here's here's the audio from from what uh, Here's here's
Speaker 1: the audio from that moment. Okay, Oh, and I did
Speaker 1: have to bleep out at least one word because people
Speaker 1: have a tendency to curse when this kind of thing happens.
Speaker 1: You can imagine how powerful the percussion was from that.
Speaker 1: And actually, afterward, I thought to myself, it's probably a
Speaker 1: good thing that we weren't out on a patio, because
Speaker 1: as soon as that thing collapsed in on itself, there
Speaker 1: was this gigantic, boiling, roiling, thick, dark gray cloud of
Speaker 1: dust that just came seething out from it and just
Speaker 1: slowly moved up to the window like a big fog.
Speaker 1: And yeah, if you'd been outside, you would have been
Speaker 1: covered covered with dust and breathing in who knows what
Speaker 1: and getting that in your eyes. So yeah, I can
Speaker 1: see why when you're that close to it, it's not
Speaker 1: a good idea to be out on the patio. And also,
Speaker 1: I mean, we didn't have to use earplugs or anything,
Speaker 1: which who knows that maybe if you were standing out
Speaker 1: on a patio that close you maybe you could damage
Speaker 1: your ears, I guess so, but it was. It was
Speaker 1: definitely a p and the thing that that stood out
Speaker 1: the most for me was that. And you've probably seen
Speaker 1: these videos before, and so you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: It's a gigantic structure right there before your eyes and
Speaker 1: then within seconds it just looks like it melts. It's
Speaker 1: not like it goes pop. I mean you could see
Speaker 1: little little lights here and there because it was dark,
Speaker 1: but basically all together because it just gives the impression
Speaker 1: that this giant building just melts. And then when finally
Speaker 1: the dust clear is there's just a big clump. It's
Speaker 1: like a like a hill of debris there. And if
Speaker 1: you follow me on social media then you've probably seen
Speaker 1: some of the footage. Laren got just news like TV
Speaker 1: news quality footage of this. Uh. If if you follow
Speaker 1: my social media on Facebook or Twitter, we may or
Speaker 1: may not have an my Instagram page. There's an Instagram
Speaker 1: page just for this show called Joshua P. Warren Podcast,
Speaker 1: And if it's not there, we'll get something up there
Speaker 1: for you. But I mean, it just it's so weird
Speaker 1: to watch something gigantic like that and melt in a
Speaker 1: matter of seconds and right off the bat. There were
Speaker 1: people saying, doesn't this remind you of how Building seven
Speaker 1: looked nine to eleven when the World Trade Center was attacked,
Speaker 1: And it really does. You know, one of my best
Speaker 1: friends was Jim Mars, the greatest conspiracy theorist who ever lived.
Speaker 1: And of course we know that planes hit the two towers,
Speaker 1: but there was this other building called seven World Trade Center,
Speaker 1: and there are lots of people who say that if
Speaker 1: you look at that footage of that thing collapsing, a
Speaker 1: plane did not hit it. And there are people who
Speaker 1: say it was a controlled demolition, that this forty seven
Speaker 1: story skyscraper that stood across Vesey Street, north of the
Speaker 1: main part of the World Trade Center site was intentionally
Speaker 1: destroyed with explosives. As I said, Unlike the Twin Towers,
Speaker 1: seven World Trade Center was not hit by a plane,
Speaker 1: although it was hit by debris from the Twin Towers
Speaker 1: and was damaged by fires which burned for seven hours
Speaker 1: until it collapsed completely at about five to twenty pm
Speaker 1: on the evening of September eleventh. Proponents typically say the
Speaker 1: collapse of seven World Trade Center was not mentioned in
Speaker 1: the nine to eleven Commission report, and that the federal
Speaker 1: body charged with investigating the event required seven years to
Speaker 1: conduct its investigation and issue a report. Apparently, some people
Speaker 1: say that it was it was demolished because it may
Speaker 1: have served as an operational center for the demolition of
Speaker 1: the twin towers, while others suggest the government may have
Speaker 1: had insiders that wanted to destroy some key files in
Speaker 1: the building pertaining to fraud. This building housed dozens of federal, state,
Speaker 1: and local government agencies. Look, I don't know, I really
Speaker 1: don't know. I've heard people say this for the longest time,
Speaker 1: and I honestly do not know. But what I can
Speaker 1: tell you is that when I go back and I
Speaker 1: look at footage of Building seven, I don't see the
Speaker 1: little sparks of light like we saw when the Tropicana
Speaker 1: was demolished. But Tropicana was demolished at night, and so
Speaker 1: it's maybe in the daytime you wouldn't see that, you
Speaker 1: wouldn't see those sparks, or maybe a totally different type
Speaker 1: of explosive technology was used that would not create those
Speaker 1: kinds of sparks. I really I can't tell you, but
Speaker 1: it does look. I mean, when you when you watch
Speaker 1: that footage, I'm telling you it looks like a demolition.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it is. I'm not saying it was,
Speaker 1: but it does look like it. After the demolition, they
Speaker 1: told us that we could not leave until six in
Speaker 1: the morning because the roads were closed off. Like, oh,
Speaker 1: you kidding me. You know, we've been here since eight o'clock.
Speaker 1: We don't want to stay till six in the morning.
Speaker 1: The party ended at I think three thirty am, so
Speaker 1: we set our goodbyes. We went down into the lobby
Speaker 1: of the MGM Grand and the lobby was hazy with dust.
Speaker 1: There were people wearing masks in the lobby of the
Speaker 1: MGM Grand, So that was I mean, I guess that
Speaker 1: shouldn't be totally unexpected, but that was kind of weird,
Speaker 1: you know that. You see you see Lauren took pictures
Speaker 1: of of you know, the hazy lobby. So we thought, well,
Speaker 1: are we going to be wrapped here or can we
Speaker 1: actually get out of here and start working our way
Speaker 1: back home. So we decided to go outside, hit the
Speaker 1: strip and start walking and get outside of the demolition zone.
Speaker 1: When we come back from this break, I'm going to
Speaker 1: tell you about something rather magnificent that happened after this.
Speaker 1: And then also I believe I will have time to
Speaker 1: tell you about a new concept in using radionics and
Speaker 1: wishing machines. A great tip for you that I've been
Speaker 1: saving up for a while. I'm Joshua P. Warren. You're
Speaker 1: listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to
Speaker 1: Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will be right back.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the final segments of this edition of
Speaker 1: Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Speaker 1: Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren,
Speaker 1: and I definitely want to make sure that I think
Speaker 1: Murray Sawchuck Murray the magician and his wife Danny Elizabeth
Speaker 1: the showgirl. I guess she's Danny Sawchuk now because she
Speaker 1: was Danny Elizabeth and now they're married. Thank them for
Speaker 1: having me and Lauren. And I want to also reiterate
Speaker 1: that if you go to Google and type in Joshua P.
Speaker 1: Warren Daily, you will find the podcast that I used
Speaker 1: to do I still occasionally will do, like Special Reports,
Speaker 1: but it's an R rated, uncensored podcast, and I interviewed
Speaker 1: both of them on it. I interviewed Murray. If you
Speaker 1: find the one from June fifth, twenty eighteen. It's called
Speaker 1: I Interviewed Murray the Magician, and then I interviewed Danny
Speaker 1: the Showgirl on August fifteenth of twenty eighteen, and that
Speaker 1: is called My Call with Top Vegas Showgirl Danny Elizabeth
Speaker 1: Danny spelled d A N I. And you can learn
Speaker 1: about their life stories and they're just really warm, kind,
Speaker 1: generous people, and I guess that's why that they liked
Speaker 1: us throw these kinds of parties and socialize. Well, Lauren
Speaker 1: and I we didn't want to stick around all six
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning, so yeah, we hit the road
Speaker 1: and finally we ended up going into another hotel casino
Speaker 1: where we could catch a taxi. And at this point
Speaker 1: it's like four o'clock in the morning. We knew we
Speaker 1: were going to be up all night, of course, and
Speaker 1: so we decided to stop at a bar, because there
Speaker 1: are lots of twenty four hour bars here in Vegas.
Speaker 1: Of course, stop at a bar and pick up some
Speaker 1: food to take back to the house to eat and
Speaker 1: then go to bed. And we just so happened to
Speaker 1: be near this bar that we were at, oh maybe
Speaker 1: a couple months ago, when Lauren sat down and hit
Speaker 1: a delt royal flush. And if you know anything about
Speaker 1: video poker, I mean, that's the holy grail. A lot
Speaker 1: of people never hit a royal flush in their entire lives.
Speaker 1: She goes in there wearing her electrom ring, she sat down,
Speaker 1: she didn't even put that much money in. It might
Speaker 1: have been twenty bucks, and next thing you know, she
Speaker 1: hits a delt royal and wins at least a thousand dollar.
Speaker 1: We went back to that same bar that night. So
Speaker 1: we go in, sit down, we order our food. While
Speaker 1: we're waiting for the food, we start playing the video
Speaker 1: poker and guess what, it's my turn this time. I'm
Speaker 1: wearing the electrom ring, I'm wearing the real gold chain,
Speaker 1: and boom, I hit a royal flush. And I was
Speaker 1: betting more than she was, so I went even more money.
Speaker 1: And I just can't believe that both of us went
Speaker 1: there and hit royal flushes. And no, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to tell you what bar this is. This is our
Speaker 1: this is our our our little secrets here, all right.
Speaker 1: But if you're interested in the electrom ring, go to
Speaker 1: joshuap Warren dot com. You can right now, I believe
Speaker 1: you can get one made for you an electrom ring,
Speaker 1: or if you want, if you really want to go hardcore,
Speaker 1: get the gold chain. Go to the Real gold Chain
Speaker 1: dot com the Real gold Chain dot Com and you'll
Speaker 1: see why these are such special items, you know. I honestly,
Speaker 1: I felt kind of bad because we're just having a blast.
Speaker 1: We're having the time of our lives. We're in these
Speaker 1: luxurious hotels, we're eating the best food, we're having these parties,
Speaker 1: we're winning money. I mean like we're having a good time.
Speaker 1: And yet while this was happening, all of these storms
Speaker 1: and hurricanes we're hitting the southeast North Carolina, my hometown
Speaker 1: in Florida, and people are suffering and there's nothing I
Speaker 1: can do about it at this point. But let me
Speaker 1: just I want to state this as plainly as I can.
Speaker 1: It's not like that these things happen and you're never
Speaker 1: gonna have to go through them again. I have a
Speaker 1: Sunshine Simple solar generator, so I don't need gas, and
Speaker 1: that's what I use when I have a disaster situation,
Speaker 1: and it is the world's most powerful solar generator for
Speaker 1: the price period. I created the company many years ago
Speaker 1: and then I sold it to Mobius because he's the
Speaker 1: engineer who actually puts them together. So I'm just going
Speaker 1: to tell you I'm not being paid to say this.
Speaker 1: Go to Sunshine Simple dot com. Just watch the video
Speaker 1: and think about how much better your life would have
Speaker 1: been if you went through those things if you had
Speaker 1: had the Sunshine Simple generator. Sunshine Simple dot com. Okay,
Speaker 1: now I want to before we run out of time,
Speaker 1: I want to tell you something that I've been thinking
Speaker 1: about that I believe that you will find of interest.
Speaker 1: Years ago, when I was first learning about wishing machines
Speaker 1: and radionics and psionics, and I mean we were talking about,
Speaker 1: you know, when I was a teenager. I think I
Speaker 1: was sixteen when I first started maybe yeah, probably sixteen
Speaker 1: when I started learning about this stuff. I started reading
Speaker 1: some of these books by radionics pioneers like Charles Costomano.
Speaker 1: Of course, his work was also based on Abrams, doctor Abrams,
Speaker 1: who were going back to the nineteen twenties in that case,
Speaker 1: and often the instructions would say, set your machine for
Speaker 1: whatever intention that you want. You put whatever you want
Speaker 1: on the input plate. Here's how you tune it. There
Speaker 1: are different variations, but when you're done, you put this
Speaker 1: machine away and you forget about it, and it's going
Speaker 1: to sit there and start working for you even though
Speaker 1: you're not thinking about it. Maybe it's a subconscious thing.
Speaker 1: I don't know. And over the years I have done that,
Speaker 1: I'll set the machine, I'll put it somewhere where I
Speaker 1: don't even notice it, I won't even see it. But
Speaker 1: recently I have been testing this theory so that instead
Speaker 1: of putting my machine with a wish on it out
Speaker 1: of the way, I put it in a very inconvenient place,
Speaker 1: like right in the middle of a walkway that I
Speaker 1: know I'm going to go through every day, so that
Speaker 1: I have to notice it every single time. And at
Speaker 1: this point, to my surprise, I am finding that I
Speaker 1: seem to be having better luck if I actually see
Speaker 1: the machine every day while it's working. And I think
Speaker 1: this may have to do with reverse psychology. If you
Speaker 1: go to Wikipedia, it says reverse psychology is a technique
Speaker 1: involving the assertion of a belief or a behavior opposite
Speaker 1: to the one desired, with the expectation that this approach
Speaker 1: will encourage the subject of the persuasion to do what
Speaker 1: is actually desired. Okay, so basically what that means is
Speaker 1: you're kind of trying to manipulate a person. So if
Speaker 1: I say don't think of a pink elephant, boom, you
Speaker 1: thought of a pink elephant. Now that works for everybody.
Speaker 1: But if I say, don't believe this wish is gonna
Speaker 1: come true, it may not work that way because I
Speaker 1: think it depends on whether or not you are overtly
Speaker 1: susceptible to reverse psychology. And what I have found is
Speaker 1: that maybe I'm a little too literal in how I
Speaker 1: view the world, but reverse psychology does, generally speaking, not
Speaker 1: work on me. So there are people that it works on.
Speaker 1: I guess like a charm, which is why it exists.
Speaker 1: You tell somebody the opposite, like no drink, drink, drink,
Speaker 1: and they're going to want to stop drinking. Smoke smoke, smoke,
Speaker 1: and they're going to want to stop smoking. I guess
Speaker 1: that works, but for me it doesn't. So if you
Speaker 1: have been using a manifestation tool, whether it's a wishing
Speaker 1: machine or something else, and you find that you are
Speaker 1: the type of person that is not usually sensitive to
Speaker 1: reverse psychology, try doing the opposite of what the old
Speaker 1: school told you to do. So what I'm saying is
Speaker 1: instead of setting the machine and then putting it away
Speaker 1: so you don't see it and you don't notice it,
Speaker 1: you don't think about it, which is what all the
Speaker 1: original texts said, try doing the opposite. Try placing it
Speaker 1: very prominently in an inconvenient spot where you are forced
Speaker 1: to notice it. You're practically stumbling over it, so that
Speaker 1: you're thinking about it every day. And that might be
Speaker 1: the magic bullet there that makes this thing actually work
Speaker 1: for you. If you have struggled and you hear all
Speaker 1: these stories, these success stories about people using wishing machines,
Speaker 1: and maybe you're like, ah, I don't get it, it's
Speaker 1: not working for me. Try that out. Try doing what's
Speaker 1: against the grain, against the tradition. Put it in a
Speaker 1: place where you do notice it, and see if that
Speaker 1: changes things for you. All right, well the clock has
Speaker 1: got us, So now it's time to end the show.
Speaker 1: And well, my favorite way I'm about to play for
Speaker 1: you a tone that people say has improved their lives dramatically.
Speaker 1: So take some deep breaths, if you can close your eyes,
Speaker 1: I want you to take twenty seconds to focus on
Speaker 1: the positive. Now Here is the original, the world famous,
Speaker 1: the one and only good fortune tone. That's it for
