Yes, and 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.800 I am slash was working on a new one and 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.040 I stepped away from it for a few reasons. 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:56.760 Yes, why did you? 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.360 I'm totally disillusioned by the publishing industry. 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.000 That's it's a crock. 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:03.359 I let my agent go a while back, and I 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.800 don't feel like hustling another one. Yeah, and I feel 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:07.959 like there's just not a place for me. And publishing 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:09.160 is just so dysfunctional. 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.920 It's pretty wild right now. I hear a lot of 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:12.799 the sad stories. 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.200 I have enough dysfunctional mess I don't need more. 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:16.520 You don't need that ADJECTI. 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.280 Another reason I stepped away is because the book is 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:25.440 kind of heavy, just physically physically heavy psych I always 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.960 ask people starting creative projects if it's something they want 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:29.720 to live in for however long it'll take. 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.240 You've asked me that. Yeah, I appreciate, it's never answered 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:33.080 the question. I consider. 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.000 I think that this one was kind of messing with me, 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:35.560 And so. 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:36.560 You didn't ask yourself. 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.640 No, I didn't you know? And so I love the idea, 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:41.240 but with the world the way it is and where 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:42.480 I am in my life, I just want to have 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:43.559 fun and laughs. 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.680 Sarin, I get it. I told get it. 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:47.360 Yeah, and that's what I get to do here. So 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:49.800 you have fun, laugh, dance. You cut the tether on 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.960 that way and said, let's totally float baby. So you're 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.480 probably thinking cool story, bro or man, this is a Wendy's. 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.520 I have a point. I was actually thinking cool Wendy's, ma'am. 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.640 And I was reading up on this lady. I'm going 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:07.040 to tell you about there are tons of parallels to 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.920 a character in my book. It's uncanny, Like you've read 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:11.760 parts of the book. 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.400 Yeah, written chapters, and you'll. 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.560 See you'll see where this all comes together. And like 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.320 the whole thing was kind of freaking me out as 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.839 I'm reading it, and I'm not sure, Like I looked 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.960 up and I am sure that I've never heard of 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:23.480 her before. 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:27.559 Yeah, process of just the news. 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:31.000 No, And there are strong elements that tie her story 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:32.800 to part of my book. And I'm wondering is that 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.640 a sign? And does this mean I should try finishing 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.960 the thing. Does it mean that I'm psychic. 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.240 I think so, because the lady I'm going. 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.599 To tell you about, Maria Duval, is a psychic. 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:45.159 Oh yes, yeah. 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.040 Is this some sort of cosmic connection. 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.720 We're going to say, a finger reaching out of the ether, Yes, to. 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:55.880 Tickle me ether.

She got married a bunch of times, and 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.000 so Duval was the name of her second husband. She 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.000 kind of stuck with that one. So she moved to 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.360 France with her family when she was young and according 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:27.880 to her, special powers run in her family of course, 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.360 and ever since she was a little girl, she's had 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:34.320 clairvoyant visions and she didn't think that was special.

There were a lot of 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.520 ventriloquists on the radio, like how great is that? 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:31.679 It's just like two people exactly, but it's. 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:34.160 Like the whole thing and you're now matching someone having 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:35.200 the puppet. 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.640 There astrologery like the magic of radio. 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.640 Yeah, but then astrologers like the same thing. They're like, 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:41.600 you know, they're just sitting there and like their pajamas, 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:46.800 but they're actually like before the crystal ball. Yeah, they 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:47.880 don't have to do it, don't have to pay for 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:48.480 smoke bombs. 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:48.760 No. 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:53.600 And so she also she had a segment on French 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:58.600 TV called Bibi Bonu where she'd give horoscopes to babies 0:10:58.600 --> 0:10:59.560 on their first birthdays. 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.160 She's about to say it, Wait a minute. 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.800 She's a little bit of this, a little bit of this. 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.080 By the seventies, she was showing up in the paper 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:11.800 and nice for her psychic work. 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.720 She was she was in French vogue. 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.240 OK. So she said at first she didn't want to 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:22.720 change people. She just wanted to help people. But eventually 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:28.160 she became a professional. So she studied for ten years 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:33.160 at an esoteric school and she ten years, yeah, ten years, 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:37.280 and she joined quoting various movements, including Druidic movements. 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:38.600 Okay, yeah, but. 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.600 That didn't work out because she don't like the robes. No, 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.400 she was like, I'm Italian and so I'm more inclined 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:48.080 towards Greco Latin modalities. Oh of course, She's like, it's 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:48.920 too white for me. 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.800 And so much walking in a circle got a chanting. 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.920 I like, more like laying about in smoke exactly, more 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.160 fruit involved in my ceremonies. 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:01.240 So she said. She later established the French Institute for 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:05.200 Parapsychological Research to foster that, and she was also the president, 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.000 also a member, also a member, and it was sometimes 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:12.600 called the Callous Parapsychology Institute. Okay, there's this book called 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:14.800 A Deal with the Devil about Maria Tufall, and it 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.760 came out in twenty eighteen and in it, authors Blake 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:21.080 Ellis and Melanie Hicken, they write, quote, she claims that 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.120 she has provided guidance to Hollywood stars who pay seven 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:28.080 hundred dollars for a session, and several American presidents and 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:31.080 many other political leaders. In fact, she says many of 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.760 the world's richest and most famous celebrities never make a 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.600 decision without consulting her first, and that she is the 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:39.280 only psychic ever to have been granted an audience with 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:39.800 the Pope. 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.320 Okay, you know, like if you're on social media right, like, 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:45.199 and you follow some of the people I follow, you're 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.840 going to get things of like yo, I got like, okay, 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:49.760 my people are sitting now they're going they're doing a 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:53.120 humiliation ritual on this side the celebrity. Right, It'll be like, 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:56.640 you know, some young black celebrity has to be humiliated, 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:58.880 so now they can join the illuminati. Oh right, I've 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.800 seen claims and I'm like, come on, now, you really 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:03.880 come on people. But at the same time, then you 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.080 go on this side. When we were investigating, it's always 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.520 like the President came to me, I met with the Pope, 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.800 and I'm like, okay, So a lot of people believe 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.200 in these occult things, so like, oh yeah, I think 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:14.880 that some of these people when they come out there 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.400 with the it's a humiliation ritual and see where they're trying. 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:19.319 I'm like some of them have to be right, and 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.640 just the numbers exactly. I'm not saying which ones, but 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.360 because of how much we're hearing from the other end 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:27.800 of the well, presidents came here and decided when should 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:28.520 I start the war? 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:32.000 Exactly exactly, So a humiliation ritual for a. 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:36.079 Young to join the illuminati or whatever. I'm not necessarily backing, 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:36.840 but one. 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:41.000 With the pope. CNN did an investigation into her with 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:44.440 these authors, and they later revealed that, according to a friend, 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.040 Maria had technically met with the Pope and shook his hand, 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.920 but she was like part of a crowd. Oh so, 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:51.880 and there was not like a personal audience. 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:55.240 Ah yeah, so met the pope. I read the same 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:56.480 as the Pope. 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.199 Yeah, exactly. She shook his hand, she reached out over 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:03.800 a bunch of other people high five during So about 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:07.160 that talisman and the missing person and. 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.800 The missing you were wondering, I just checked my notes. 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:10.680 Thank you for asking. 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:11.679 You haven't circled back. 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:13.240 I'm about to circle back. 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:14.000 Put a pin in it. 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:16.439 There are a lot of variations on this story, but 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:20.160 here suggest around nineteen seventy seven, the wife of a 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.720 young dentist disappeared. It is not important to know that 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:28.760 he was a dentist. Yeah, but this is this is 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.160 in the south of France. She took off her car 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:33.720 on like a Tuesday afternoon and no one had seen 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.520 her after that, and then hikers found her car the 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.840 next morning abandoned. She was nowhere to be found. And 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.080 this is pre cell phone, mind you, so they couldn't 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:43.360 try and call or like look for her. 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:45.160 Yeah. 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:49.880 The authorities sent out search parties, two helicopters, the fire 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.840 brigade end quote the best police dog in the region, 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:59.200 called Droll four. Researcher Marissa pointed out that no information 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:02.640 is available about the presumed police dogs Droll one, two 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:06.720 and three where they also amazing was one a bad apple? 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:11.200 Where was there a mister or missus droll? Keep in 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:14.840 mind that in French droll means funny. It can also 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:20.040 mean odd in some idioms, so like is it's a 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:25.680 funny old word or present I had I have an 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:28.960 odd premonition and I'm probably not saying those right, and 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.640 that's maybe a little I'm understanding them. You've got it 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:36.080 because I translated the language work. It's the language of ridiculousness. 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:40.200 So who was droll for a weird little When you 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.800 Google image search droll for dog, you get lots of 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:47.640 weird AI cat pictures and then they're like leggings with 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.720 cats printed in the eyes are on the crotch. I 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:55.840 don't know, just do it image search for ivy for 0:15:56.200 --> 0:16:01.160 dog and then you get all this weird Anyway, Maria 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:03.360 she saw the story about the missing woman in the 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.680 paper and she offered to help. And she asked for 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.160 the woman's date of birth, a recent photo, and a 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.600 map of the area. And she put the photo on 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.680 the map and then held the gold pendulum over the map, 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.040 and the pendulum it starts to swing as they do, 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.240 and it starts to spin over a certain region, and 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:22.280 the cops they're skeptical, this kind of seems like a 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:25.080 waste of time and hokum at that. So they called 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:28.040 back the rescue helicopter. They're like, you know what, we 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:28.480 give up. 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:30.200 It's a pendulum that's sending you out there. 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.840 And they're like, maybe she disappeared on purpose and taken 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.320 herself out of the game, so to speak. So the husband, though, 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:39.680 is like, no more helicopter, helicopter, and so he hires 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:43.920 a private helicopter and says search over where the pendulum 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:46.600 was spinning, and so he believed in her. He knew 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:48.400 his wife was still out there waiting to be found. 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:49.720 And she was what. 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:54.880 She was, hurt and unconscious. She hadn't eaten or had 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.640 anything to drink or even move for three days and 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.360 nights and she was discovered and Marie, I said, the 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:04.119 pendulum worked because quote, everything in the universe vibrates and 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:07.080 sends out different waves. To find something or someone that 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:09.879 has gone missing, the vibrations which hold a connection with 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:13.639 the subject or the person must be investigated and determined. 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:15.720 That is what I did with the help of the 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:18.520 star sign and the photo of the woman. Then I 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:21.040 simply gave the information to my hanging lamp and asked 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.080 for the source of these vibrations to be pointed out 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:23.520 on the map. 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:25.919 You know, it's easy to the CIA. I have it. 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:28.159 They have a whole program that is taken from the 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:31.119 one guy's other program. He's like around to hear anyway, 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:33.200 the CIA, they have a whole thing. I've been reading 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:36.280 a bunch about how to psychically trained according to the CIA, 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:38.240 and is all this exact same stuff. Let's do it. 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:39.720 Let's start us. Let's do a seminar. 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:40.880 Okay, okay, I'm down. 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.159 So we'll host a seminar and we don't know how 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.320 to do it. Oh we're gonna host you yeah, yea, yeah, 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:49.359 we're okay. No, no, no, We're going to put on so 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:52.479 much easier. I know it'll be a ridiculous grind. So 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:56.479 the story of this incredible vibration went viral by seventy 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.639 standards all over France. People heard about it and they 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:02.200 felt that Maria was the real deal, like a psychic hero. 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.679 It said that in total she helped find nineteen people 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:09.000 over the years. Yeah, and plus some cats and a donkey, 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:13.000 the missing donkey. Oh and she said she found Brigitte 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:16.119 Bardeau's missing dog. Okay, And the only problem is that 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:19.000 Bardew later told CNN that her dog was found dead 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.520 drowned in a pool and that Duval had nothing to 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:23.960 do with any of it, which is a bummer detail. 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:29.000 Wait, so she lied about finding Bridget Bardew's dog. When 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:30.879 someone went to question that, Bridget Bardow is like, well, 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:32.280 if I got a story for you, Oh yeah, no, 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:32.880 she had nothing. 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:34.840 But this is horrible and I'm an animal lover and 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:38.160 somehow I let my dog drown Wow. So Maria said 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:40.520 that she was involved in quote, one of the biggest 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:44.600 criminal cases the world has ever known. Let's take a break. 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:47.159 When we come back, I'll tell you about the biggest 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:51.000 criminal case the world has ever known. 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:11.600 Zaren yo. Hey, so we were talking about Maria Duval. 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:13.040 I was thinking about bridge Bordo's dog. 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:16.720 But there's that too. Let's give a moment of yeah. Okay, 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.600 we gave him over the rainbow. Yeah, the rambow bridge. 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:22.439
