This 11 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 1: is Strange Warren. I am Josha Whoope Warren, and each 12 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 1: week on this show, I'll be bringing you up brand new, 13 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: my blowing content, news exercises and weird experiments you can 14 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 1: do at home, and a lot more. On this edition 15 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: of the show, Pascals Wager and New Money Magic. Do 16 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: you know what Pascal's Wager is? I bet you don't, 17 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: But if you do, you'll still find this interesting because well, 18 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: I guess you already know what's interesting this. I swear 19 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: to you this might be the most important show that 20 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: you have ever listened to in your entire life. I'm 21 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: not saying it is, but it might be. And I 22 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: know you're thinking, well, that's very profound, but yeah, I 23 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: mean on you. And I decided it was time to 24 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 1: bring this up because you know, I'm still worn out. 25 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: I'm recovering from a surgery. Last time you heard me 26 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 1: was I guess a week ago. But I decided to 27 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: kind of get caught up, and so I've recorded like 28 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: two shows within a couple of days. So I'm still 29 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: worn out. I know. I know you say, well, good lord, 30 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: you're only forty eight. Indiana Jones said, it's not the years, 31 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: it's the mileage. And I have put a lot of 32 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: miles on these bonds. And you know, it's funny because 33 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: sometimes people think that I don't know if you've ever 34 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: seen like the nineteen eighties version of Little Shop of 35 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: Horrors where John Candy plays like, oh I'm the weird 36 00:02:54,919 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: and he's banging on bells. And I don't feel like 37 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: I always have to, you know, give you some kind 38 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 1: of a gimmick and be like mister energy. I mean, 39 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: you've been sticking with me all these years, so you 40 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: know what I try to do is provide things that 41 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: you will find interesting. And you know, I try to 42 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: be upbeat, I try to be positive, but at the 43 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: same time, I'm you know, I'm realistic. And when you 44 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: go to the hospital and I've never had a real 45 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: surgery before, when you go to the hospital, you know, 46 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: you start thinking about your mortality. And it started reminding 47 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: me of Postcal's wager. I guess that's how you pronounce it. 48 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: Poscal was a Frenchman, and you know, the hardest words. 49 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: I'm an excellent speller. I always won the spelling bees. 50 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: But you know it's always those friends swords to get you. 51 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: So all right, well, let me look this up for you. No, 52 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: you could do this on your own, but you know 53 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: you're listening to me, and I'm getting paid, So here 54 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: we go. There was a guy named I guess his 55 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 1: name was Blase Posco. How would you like any of 56 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: your parents' name? You Blase b Laise. I don't speak 57 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: French again, so I mean, I'm not sure if I'm 58 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: pronouncing any of this stuff right. But this guy, Blosse Pascal. 59 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: He was born on June nineteenth of sixteen, twenty three. Yeah, 60 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: a long time ago, and he died in let's see 61 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: August nineteenth of sixteen sixty two. He was only thirty 62 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: nine when he died. He was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, philosopher, 63 00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: and a Catholic writer. Now I have heard of Pascal's 64 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: wager for a while, and of course most of you 65 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: probably know that I live in Las Vegas, and I 66 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: go out and I gamble once in a while for fun. 67 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: And he was talking about the idea of gambling, but 68 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: on a much much more serious, deep level. You'll see 69 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,559 Speaker 1: what I mean. He was talking about gambling with your soul. 70 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: Says here. Pascal was a child prodigy born in a 71 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: place called Claremont Ferrand, France. His father was a tax collector, 72 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: and he was a prodigy, especially when it came to 73 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: geometry and mathematics, and he wrote some kind of like 74 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: significant treatise on the subject at age sixteen. I'm just 75 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: looking over this thing, and I mean, this guy was obviously, 76 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: you know, one of those You're like, hmm, maybe there 77 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: was a little alien gene involved here, but especially because 78 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: it says in sixteen forty two he started some pioneering 79 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: work on calculating machines leaders called see later called Pascal's calculators, 80 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: establishing him as one of the first two inventors of 81 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: the mechanical calculator. How'd you like to have that on 82 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: your resume? This guy was one of the inventors of 83 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: the darn calculator, says like his contemporary, Renee des Car 84 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: de Car. You know, when I was in college, they 85 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: always I took philosophy, and they're like the car. He 86 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: always said, I think, therefore I am it, says like 87 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: his contemporary, Renee des Car. Pascal was also a pioneer 88 00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: in the natural and applied sciences. He wrote in defense 89 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: of the scientific method, produced several controversial results. He made 90 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: contributions to the study of fluids pressure vacuum. All right, 91 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: very smart dude. Well why am I bringing him up? 92 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: Why is he? Why is he the topic of this show? 93 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: I guess I will tell you this before I get 94 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: into it. Just I mean some I for some reason, 95 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: it's kind of interesting to talk about how people were 96 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,559 Speaker 1: born and got educated and whatnot, and then how they died. 97 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: He says here that he when he died, that he 98 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: just got ill for some reason. I mean, again, you're 99 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: talking to sixteen hundreds. They don't know exactly what happened, 100 00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: said he just got ill and became unstable. His last 101 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: words were, may God never abandon me. And there was 102 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: an autopsy performed and they said that they revealed grave 103 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: stomach let's see, grave problems with his stomach and other 104 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: organs of his abdomen, along with damage to his brain. 105 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: They're not sure what happened to him. Might be Tuberculosi's 106 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: stomach cancer or a combination of the two. All right, fine, 107 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: so again, why am I bringing this up? Well, I'm 108 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: bringing it up because that he he raised a question 109 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: that I bet, I just bet you have thought about 110 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 1: in your life. And it's incredibly simple, but it's also 111 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: incredibly profound. It might be the most complicated, simple question 112 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: ever asked. Let that sink in for a minute. Pascal's wager. 113 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: So this guy, again, very smart gambler, looking at risks, 114 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: looking at rewards, and here was his wager. His argument was, 115 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: here's something we need to really, you know, really think 116 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: about in depth. He said that the potential of the 117 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 1: infinite gain of believing in God outweighs the potential finite 118 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: losses if God does not exist, making belief the more 119 00:09:53,640 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: rational choice. According to these academic sources. So he's basic saying, 120 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: like right now, if I just go onto Google and 121 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: I type in like Pascal's Wager, it says. Pascal's Wager 122 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: is a philosophical argument formulated by Blaise Pascal, suggesting it 123 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: is more rational to believe in God's existence even without proof, 124 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: because the potential benefits of belief, meaning eternal happiness, outweigh 125 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: the potential losses, that is, the minor inconveniences of religious practice. Conversely, 126 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: on the other hand, the potential gains of disbelief, which 127 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: are minor pleasures, are vastly outweighed by the potential losses 128 00:10:52,600 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: meaning eternal damnation if God exists. I bet you've thought 129 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: about this before, but you never thought about it in 130 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: this way as Pascal's wager. Okay, we're up on a break. 131 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: When we come back, I'm going to tell you where 132 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 1: I fall on this for those of you who obviously 133 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: you mean you care enough to listen to the show, 134 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: so I guess, and then I want to give you. 135 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 1: I want to give you some updates about other things 136 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: that are happening very very soon, and including a manifestation 137 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: technique that I mean I've been using it and you 138 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: know I've been kind of down to the dumps because 139 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: of this surgery and recovering and everything. Man, I've been 140 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: manifesting stuff like you wouldn't believe, and I'm going to 141 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: tell you all about it when I come back.

And I mentioned on my last 170 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: podcast that in addition to having this surgery, I got 171 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: a SEAPAP machine, and a lot of people don't really 172 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: understand that much about seapap, and listen, I'm not being 173 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: paid a dime to promote seapap. But SEAPAP stands for 174 00:14:55,360 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: continuous positive airway pressure. And so if you have sleep apnea, 175 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: meaning that you don't breathe well, if you stop breathing 176 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: a certain amount of times in an hour, then they say, Okay, 177 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: you know you you have sleep apnea, and look sleeping 178 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: with a seatpat machine sucks, but it's better than not 179 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: being able to breathe. And I got one of these 180 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: masks that has a hose that comes off the top 181 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: of my head so that when I I flip from 182 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: left to right or whatever. I mean. It's it's it's 183 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: not a big issue, but I just figured that you 184 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: might find this interesting. I was, I was kind of joking. 185 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: Oh I was, I was joking, but it's it's serious. 186 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: On my last show about how that you have a 187 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: lot of bad dreams and frustrating dreams and stuff if 188 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: you have sleep apnea, and then now that I have 189 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: a seapat machine, my dreams are much more neutral and 190 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: just psychologically, I have a better experience. But I just 191 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: wanted to share with you because you will probably never 192 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: look this up on your own. It appears the seapap 193 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: was invented by an Australian doctor in the nineteen seventies. 194 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: And I don't have all the literature in front of me, 195 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: but yeah, doctor Colin Sullivan, Australian physician and professor, actually 196 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, he invented it in nineteen eighty. It says 197 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: you're applying seapat for use on adult patients with sleep 198 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: apnea at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney. And 199 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: I just it just makes sure that you get enough air. 200 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: And I believe, I believe that if you have like 201 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: the next level, like a really bad problem, they have 202 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: something called like a BYPAP machine. I didn't I didn't 203 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: prepare a lot for this show. But yeah, BYPAP by 204 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:16,719 Speaker 1: level positive airwave pressure. And this is like a SEAPEP 205 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 1: provides continuous air that goes into your into your your 206 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: nose and your lungs in one way or another, I guess. 207 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: And then a BYPAP is more like I guess, like 208 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: a real Darth Vader machine, and like a ventilator. It 209 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: blows air in when you inhale and then sucks air 210 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: out when you excel. I don't know. I'll give you 211 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: my disclaimer. I don't know anything about anything. I'm not 212 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: a doctor. But what I can tell you is I've 213 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: been using my SEAPAP machine for over two weeks now, 214 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: and yes, it sucks to sleep with something on your face, yes, 215 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: but my dreams are so much much better. And that's weird, 216 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: isn't it? Because it makes you think like why why 217 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: would you have bad dreams just because that you're not 218 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: breathing in enough oxygen? Like what's the relationship there? And 219 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 1: it makes you think of the human body as being 220 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: some kind of a robot. And when you get back 221 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: to Pascal's Wager, where he is basically saying, all right, 222 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: you don't know what's going on here, let's see I 223 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 1: read something that was very interesting that he said, By 224 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: the way, folks, if you're relying on politicians to save you, 225 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: good luck, They're not gonna politicians are I don't think 226 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: saying people become politicians. You might think that's out at 227 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: I feel, but I'm just telling you you kind of 228 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 1: have to look after yourself. And when you look at 229 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: yourself and you have to make judgments for yourself. It 230 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: basically talks about how in Pascal's Wager, that you have 231 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: the option to take a risk, to take a gamble, 232 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: and to say, either there is a god and I'm 233 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: going to try to believe that there is a god 234 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: and live as if there is a god. And if not, 235 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: then if I believed in a god, then what have 236 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 1: I got to lose? If there's no God. But if 237 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: there is a God and I don't believe in a God, 238 00:19:53,359 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: well I have a lot to lose. And I decided 239 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 1: a long time ago to believe that there is a God, 240 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: and I'm not. I have no way of comprehending what 241 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: God is. I mean, I think, honestly, I think it's impossible. 242 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 1: I mean, how many of you have ever gone out 243 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: on a fishing expedition and you catch a fish. You 244 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: think that fish knows anything about how to get to 245 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: the moon or get to Mars. I mean, you can't 246 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: comprehend these things. So to a certain extent, you have 247 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 1: to say that, you know, like, we're never going to 248 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 1: be able to comprehend what God is. God equals the universe. 249 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: But one of the reasons that I believe that God 250 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: exists is because of the extraordinary design that I see 251 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: all around me every single day, very fact that I 252 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 1: exist and you exist, So that to me is I 253 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: guess that's about the best piece of evidence that I have. 254 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: Is that I look around and I go, I don't 255 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: know how this holds randomly, randomly fell into place. I mean, well, yeah, 256 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: well you take a box full of parts and shake 257 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: it up and sit at there for a million years, 258 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: and it's something going to appear. And you know, recently 259 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: I mentioned this. I got a VR headset Medaquest three s. 260 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: And when you put on a VR headset and you're literally, 261 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: you know, like sitting there in a virtual world where 262 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: you look up, down, left, right behind you, you know, 263 00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: and it's all three D reality for that moment, I mean, 264 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: you're not here anymore. You're in that reality. And there 265 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: was some program that I bought. I can't remember what 266 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: it was called right now, but uh, it was a 267 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 1: it was like a nature program. So you could click 268 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: this button and it would say one minute like, oh, well, 269 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: you're in you're in the middle of a snowstorm, you know, 270 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 1: in Montana, or you're you're you're in the middle of 271 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: uh you're that you're in a beautiful crystal lake in Sweden, 272 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 1: umber whatever, you and uh so you look around and 273 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: you pick the place where you want to go, virtually, 274 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 1: and one of them was Jurassic World, where you you 275 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: picked that and the next thing you know, you're sitting 276 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: there and you can move around to a certain exteent, 277 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: but you're sitting in the world as it was sixty 278 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 1: some million years ago supposedly. So when you click this, 279 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: you're sitting there in like a little tent and you 280 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 1: see the silhouette. It's very realistic because there's not like 281 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 1: dinosaurs were all up in your face roaring at you 282 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: and some crazy stuff like that. No, it's like very 283 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: really realistic. I guess, you know, why do I know? 284 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: But I mean, you see the silhouette of like a 285 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: I don't know, brought the saurus walking around up there 286 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: on the woods, and then you look up and you 287 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: see terra dectyls flying over. So I was sitting there 288 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: and I was using my imagination and I was really 289 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 1: getting into this mindset that I have traveled back in 290 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: time and I'm the only person alive right now. All 291 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: elks that exist are just dinosaurs and crap like that. 292 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, I was amazed to find 293 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: this sense of peace wash over me. There was a 294 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 1: sense of peacefulness that I wasn't expecting, just imagining that 295 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: humans are not out there, that many of our biggest 296 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: problems whatever, I mean, think about your biggest problems right now, 297 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: and think about how many of your problems are connected 298 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: to the fact that humans exist, And think about how 299 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: much better your life would be if you lived in 300 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: the dinosaur days. Perhaps, I know you think I've been 301 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: taking all kinds of drugs. I haven't. That's probably my problem. 302 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: They gave me some medication, but I was like, no, 303 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. Hey, when we come back, money Magic, 304 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: I got something new I've been doing and I'm going 305 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: to tell you about that. And uh oh yeah, I 306 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: have another weird story for you. Whey do you hear 307 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 1: this one? I'm Joshua P. Warren.

Yeah. 314 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 1: A long time ago, Art Bell invited me to be 315 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: his guest. I was a very young man. He invited 316 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: me to be interviewed by him on Coast to Coast 317 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: AM and I've had just a wonderful relationship with everybody 318 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 1: at Premiere and iHeart since then. And I can't even 319 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: tell you how many things that I've done with Tom 320 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: dan Heiser and George Nori. But there was a time 321 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: where I also wanted to be involved in TV. And 322 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: I honestly, you know, I don't have a big desire 323 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: to be on TV anymore. I guess there's a number 324 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 1: of reasons for that. I just I just I really 325 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: don't care about people seeing me. But there was a 326 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: time when I did and I wanted to be on TV. 327 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: And I you know, I started as a teenager and 328 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 1: I did a lot of TV shows. Then eventually I 329 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: met people like Dave Schrader and Zach Begans, and they 330 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: really did a lot to put me on, like the 331 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: Travel Channel, and I got to do a lot of 332 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: cool TV stuff and make some dreams come true. And 333 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: I think that one of the last times I did 334 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: something with Zach Begans, one of the last times, I 335 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: believe it was twenty I want to say twenty eighteen, 336 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: a Halloween night. He had a special, a live Halloween 337 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: special at his Haunted Museum here in Las Vegas, and 338 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: it was I don't know, I want to say it 339 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: was probably like four hours or something, and so he 340 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: had me there to go in and set up a 341 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: tesla coil and do some crazy experiments in this haunted place. 342 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: And let me tell you something, that house where he 343 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: has his haunted museum, it's truly haunted. Yeah, I mean 344 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: it really is. My friend Forrest Connor, my old partner 345 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: in crime. He was my assistant on that shoot, and 346 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: he helped me set up the tesla coil in the building, 347 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: I guess a day prior to shooting, and when it 348 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: was just the two of us there taking pictures. I mean, 349 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: he and I were taking pictures and we were just 350 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: getting like crazy looking like orbs and weird ghostly anomalies 351 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: left and right. So it's a truly haunted place. But 352 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: I bring this up because it was on that shoot 353 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: when I was in I don't know, I guess you'd 354 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: call it the green room, like the waiting area with 355 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: other talent, and I met Patty Negri, known as the 356 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: Good Witch. And as a matter of fact, I guess 357 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: that's probably just her website. I'm looking it up right now. Again, 358 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: I didn't do a lot of preparation here for this show. Sorry. 359 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: Fil Yeah, Patty Negrew p A T T I N 360 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: E g R. I it says Hollywood psychic medium the 361 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: Good Witch. I'm pretty sure that's when I met her 362 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: for the first time. And she's one of those people 363 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: that when you meet her, she's just like a ray 364 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: of sunshine. Just everybody's just a big smile, and everybody 365 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: loves her and she makes everybody feel great, and it's 366 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: you know, it's all all fun and smiles. And so 367 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: since then, I've hung out with her at least, you know, 368 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: another time or two. She came to Vegas at some 369 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: point when I was doing my Creepy Vegas show or 370 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: Paranormal Vegas show and hung out. And she's just always 371 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: been wonderful. I mean, she's interviewed me, and I've interviewed her, 372 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: and I bring her up because just recently, Patty negri Well, 373 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: I recently discovered that she had some new money magic spells, 374 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: and so I hope she doesn't mind that I'm going 375 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: to share at least a couple of these with you. 376 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: But you know, I think it'd be interesting if you 377 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: tried it out, and I just I decided today I 378 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: was going to try it out. See what happened. You'd 379 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: ever know, you can never have enough money, I guess, 380 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: so One thing that she said to do was take 381 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: some dollars and kind of fold them up into something 382 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: that looks like a cigar and takes something like a 383 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: red ribbon and tie them up and put them in 384 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: your refrigerator on the left side, back in the corner. 385 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: And I don't remember why she said that that was important, 386 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: but like, all right, fine, take take some dollar bills, 387 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: put the red ribbon, tie them up, put them back 388 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: in the corner on one of your shelves in your refrigerator. 389 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: Another thing that she's said to do was, uh, take 390 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: a coin that's valuable to you, which in my case, 391 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: I picked a silver dollar, like a Morgan silver dollar, 392 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: and put it at the base of a plant that's growing. 393 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: And as that plant grows, the idea is that as 394 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: it's it's expanding, it's also growing your money, because you know, 395 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: plant is green, and we often in this country associate 396 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: green with money and so on, and so you want 397 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 1: to envision that plant growing and as it grows, it's 398 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: going to expand and grow your wealth. So I don't 399 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: want to give away, you know, anymore for her tips, 400 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: but I think that you should try that, and you 401 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: should let me know. You should let me know if 402 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: there is anything that you know happens to you, if 403 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: you get a good result from it, I say, you know, 404 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: it's all about the way the mind interacts. I mean, 405 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: I've told you that when you mess around with virtual reality, 406 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: you get to the point where you go, well, it's 407 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: all virtual reality. You take off the VR headset and 408 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: you look around and you go, this is just another 409 00:32:52,280 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: VR headset. There is no AI, there was only there 410 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: is only intelligence. There is only this thing called God, 411 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: and it's the designer, and you can hack into it. 412 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: In fact, it's funny because a lot of people, especially 413 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: young people now, are starting to get the memo and 414 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: learn that if you want a movie, you had better 415 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: buy it on DVD, because when you buy stuff streaming, 416 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: it's not really yours. There's always a cove out there 417 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: that at some point that just won't be there anymore. 418 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: So the closest thing you're going to get to physical 419 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: ownership is to have a physical thing. And that's why 420 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: that now books and DVDs and CDs and even VHS 421 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: tapes are ridiculously expensive because we've finally reached the point 422 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: where we go, well, at least this is something that's 423 00:33:55,240 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: more tangible. But one of these days, I bet, you know, 424 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: probably I wouldn't doubt it. By the time you hear 425 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:10,400 Speaker 1: this show, there's going to be I bet there's going 426 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: to be the first real a I superstar. I don't 427 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 1: know if it's going to be a man or a 428 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 1: woman or something in between, but there's gonna be some 429 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 1: kind of a superstar that's going to be at the 430 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:36,720 Speaker 1: level of Pom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jessica Alba. 431 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 1: I mean, like a list star, but it's gonna be AI's. 432 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a totally completely invented character. And there 433 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,720 Speaker 1: was a movie. If you've never seen it. I like documentaries. 434 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I know what it's called. It's Me Again, Marlin, 435 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 1: I think, or something like that. Marlin, it's a Marlin. 436 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 1: Listen to me Marlin, that's what it's called. Yeah, I 437 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: guess I was getting that confused with Margaret Listen to 438 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 1: Me Marlin. It's a documentary that came out in twenty fifteen. Geez, 439 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:27,399 Speaker 1: that's been ten years ago, good lord. And it's kind 440 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:40,360 Speaker 1: of about this concept. Well, I was talking earlier about 441 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: the past about Pascal's wager and now I'm talking about 442 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: the future, but sometimes I think that it's helpful for 443 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 1: us to go back to the past. And I remember 444 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: that when I was in high school, one of my 445 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: teachers made me read this poem called The Tiger, and 446 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:13,360 Speaker 1: it's spelled Tyger by the English poet William Blake, and 447 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,320 Speaker 1: it was published in seventeen ninety four. And some people 448 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: say that this is the greatest poem ever written. So fortunately, 449 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:30,879 Speaker 1: since it was written in seventeen ninety four, I can 450 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,839 Speaker 1: read it to you. I don't need anybody's permission. It's 451 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: copyright free. And I don't know. I just remember this 452 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 1: the other day and I thought, I'm going to bring 453 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 1: this up and I'm going to read I'm going to 454 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 1: read it for me, but I'm also going to read 455 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,919 Speaker 1: it for you, and I want you to see if 456 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: you think this poem is possibly the greatest poem ever written. 457 00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:04,280 Speaker 1: The Tiger Tyger by William seventeen ninety four. He published 458 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. It's not that long. And you know, 459 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: when I read it, I thought to myself, yeah, I 460 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 1: mean it's well, look you'll see when we come back. 461 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 1: Time for a break. I'm Joshua Pee, Warren. You're listening 462 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast 463 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: a M Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will be right back. 464 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the final second of this edition of 465 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 1: Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM 466 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 1: Palaonormal Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren. 467 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:41,759 Speaker 1: And uh, what were we talking about? I just took 468 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 1: a ten minute. Oh yeah, okay, okay, I'm back. Don't worry. Yeah, 469 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: I remember what we were talking about. You know what, 470 00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 1: when I was in uh, when I was in high school, 471 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,719 Speaker 1: I'm sure that you probably can say the same thing. 472 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:09,400 Speaker 1: I just I found it also absurd. And I was 473 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 1: not the most easy student to have, I mean an 474 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 1: algebra class. You know. I was always like, why do 475 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: I need to know this? And she tried to explain why. 476 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,439 Speaker 1: And it turns out that I was right. I didn't 477 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:26,839 Speaker 1: need to know any of that crap. But when I 478 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:33,319 Speaker 1: was in English class, one of my English teachers said, 479 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 1: you have to read this poem. It's called the Tiger 480 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:46,479 Speaker 1: ty Ger by William Blake, published in seventeen ninety four 481 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:53,880 Speaker 1: as part of his Songs of Experienced collection and rising 482 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 1: to prominence in the Romantic period. The poem is one 483 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,800 Speaker 1: of the most anthology guys in the English literary canon, 484 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 1: so it says, and has been the subject of both 485 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:14,239 Speaker 1: literary criticism and many adaptations, including various musical versions. This 486 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 1: is getting more and more exciting by the word, isn't it. 487 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 1: The poem explores and questions Christian religious paradigms prevalent in 488 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 1: the late eighteenth century and early nineteenth century England, discussing 489 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:36,880 Speaker 1: God's intention and motivation for creating both the lamb and 490 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 1: the eponymous tiger girl.
