But uh, it's just lost 26 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 2: my train of thought on all that thinking about all 27 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 2: those things. But uh, anyway, that's what you'll learn about me, 28 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 2: is is that kind of thing. That's what I like 29 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 2: to do.

All right, let's get to the 33 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 2: Pacific north weird. Now our guest is Vince and Zunza. 34 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 2: Was that good? I'm gonna try it all that? All right? 35 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 2: Thank you? Thank you? Okay, So, Vince, let me tell 36 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 2: you what I know about the Pacific Northwest, and then 37 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 2: you you give me what you know. So I grew 38 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 2: up in Kentucky and lived in Florida and in Pennsylvania 39 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 2: and a little North California, but in little Texas at 40 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 2: one point. And I think I've named everything I think 41 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: and now Colorado. And the interesting thing is that when 42 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 2: you're on that side of the world, and now it's 43 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 2: different because we have the Internet and everybody talks to 44 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 2: everybody and everybody can talk to anybody wherever they are 45 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 2: in the world. But before you couldn't. Right, you knew 46 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 2: your you knew your hood, you knew your crowd, right, 47 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 2: you knew who was around you, right. And so if 48 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 2: you're in Kentucky, you talk to the people you know. 49 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 2: If you're big footing or ghost honey or whatever it is, 50 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 2: you know the people in that genre where you are, 51 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 2: and you might hear from if you're in Kentucky, you 52 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: might hear about some people in Tennessee and maybe you'll 53 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 2: go visit them, And maybe you know some people in 54 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 2: Florida and you'll go visit them. And everybody visits each 55 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 2: other's spots and that kind of thing. But when you're 56 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 2: over there, you don't know anybody. In the Pacific Northwest, 57 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 2: we don't know anybody. And then you start watching shows 58 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 2: like Monster Quest or whatever at one point, right, and 59 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 2: then you start picking up names from these other areas 60 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 2: of the country or world. And that's how you might 61 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 2: pick up somebody's name, or you might just listen to 62 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 2: the story in the encounter. But maybe you don't get 63 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 2: their name either way, we didn't get a lot of 64 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: the Pacific north West names. And it's interesting. This is 65 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: what I find anybody wants to back me up, polace 66 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 2: to do. But when you meet the people in the 67 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: Pacific Northwest, like we I think on the other coast 68 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 2: have been open to the fact, maybe because we've swarmed 69 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: around a lot, that we know that these things that 70 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 2: we've seen research, look for whatever, are everywhere. Pacific northwesterners, 71 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 2: I'm just saying, it's just like, this is where it is, 72 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: and it's nowhere else. And I don't think you'll ever 73 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: leave your area to look anywhere else because you're you know, 74 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: first of all, there's a ton there and it's really cool, 75 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 2: there's no question about it, okay, And the terrain is unreal. 76 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 2: It is like a story book. And then you walk 77 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 2: into those forests that look like a story book and 78 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 2: then there's creatures everywhere, and it's true. But is it 79 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 2: do you find that as well, that you guys are 80 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 2: kind of like, hey, we're in the Pacific Northwest or 81 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 2: Pacific north weird. We don't need to go anywhere else. 82 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 2: We got enough here. 83 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 3: I think that's true. Uh, in a lot of ways, 84 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 3: because because. 85 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 2: When you're somewhere else, you're like, who are these people? 86 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 2: Who are they? What? Should we know who they are? 87 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 2: Or at least me, I'm like, should I know who 88 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 2: these people are? Because they say it like you know, 89 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 2: they're big time people. But really all it is is, hey, 90 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 2: this you all all know each other. You all have 91 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 2: had these names, uh, and people that have just grown 92 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 2: own together with all of the stories and things, and 93 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 2: we're just on the other coast and I've known who 94 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 2: any of you all are and vice versa, but now 95 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 2: it's all pulling together. 96 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 3: But yeah, I just that's true that you know a 97 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 3: lot of the personality the individual the storytellers may not 98 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 3: be too well known outside of their community, but the 99 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 3: things that happened here in the Pacific Northwest have spanned 100 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 3: all across the nation and into the world. Like the 101 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,799 Speaker 3: term flying saucer came from here. The first recorded interaction 102 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 3: with a man in black happened in the Northwest. The 103 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 3: work Bigfoot comes from northern California about south of the 104 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,799 Speaker 3: Pacific Northwest is you can get but it's in this region, 105 00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 3: you know. And the things that make the place really special, 106 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 3: I think are pretty universal. Like they've almost become archetypes 107 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 3: in themselves. And no matter where you are, you know Bigfoot, 108 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 3: you know what a flying sauce is. Those things are 109 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 3: as I mean, as universal and recognizable as Mickey the 110 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 3: House or the Golden Arches. 111 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 2: Is everybody up there pretty open to listening to it 112 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 2: from somebody. 113 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 3: I find that most people are, you know, I mean, 114 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 3: even if they're not true believers, they appreciate the fact 115 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 3: that we kind of have these regional mascots. Like over here, 116 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 3: Bigfoot is kind of big business in a lot of ways. 117 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 3: Like pretty much any gift shop you go into, there's 118 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 3: going to be just countless pieces of Bigfoot merchandise that 119 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 3: there are. There are murals, statues, carvings to pick foot 120 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 3: in almost like every single city and small town you 121 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 3: could h that you drive through going through the Northwest. 122 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 3: So there's a I feel like a universal appreciation for 123 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 3: for these these strange entities that everyone, even if they 124 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 3: don't necessarily believe in them, they they're proud of them. 125 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 2: I found it interesting at one point with let's go 126 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 2: to the Sasquatch to to the Bigfoot, I remember talking 127 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 2: to somebody from the Pacific Northwest and I had said, uh, 128 00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 2: we were talking about the differences across the country, and 129 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 2: I had thought that they seemed to be my impression. 130 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 2: I didn't know at the time. I hadn't been out 131 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 2: there yet, but my impression was the Bigfoot were bigger 132 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 2: where you guys were, and that particular person said that 133 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 2: they thought they would be bigger where I was. I 134 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 2: found that interesting. But your all's terrain is like a 135 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 2: story book. It's absolutely amazing where you could walk into 136 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 2: forested area in your part of the country and not 137 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: come across some of the things, like if you were 138 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 2: in Kentucky or in Florida, where you're going to run 139 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 2: across some huge snakes and crazy bugs and all sorts 140 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 2: of just horrific things. Everywhere. It's really not that way 141 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 2: up there just seems cleaner. You don't have all these 142 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 2: tangled up messes when you walk through the woods. It's 143 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 2: just amazing to me. I couldn't believe it. I didn't 144 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 2: think it was real. And I grew up going to 145 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 2: King's Island and Disney World living in Florida, and they 146 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 2: really did create the Pacific Northwest on those log rides 147 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 2: or some of the other rides. And when I went 148 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 2: to your part of the country for the first time. 149 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it. I thought it was at a 150 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 2: theme park. They nailed it so well, it's just beautiful 151 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 2: where you guys are. 152 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 3: I agree. I've been here my whole life and I'm 153 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 3: never not in awe of all the different types of 154 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 3: terrain and natural bet that is just a car trip 155 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 3: away from wherever you are. You can visit the desert, 156 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 3: you can visit the ocean, visit that these grand mountains, 157 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 3: you can visit forests that you can just get lost 158 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 3: in forever. And yeah, I think we're kind of almost 159 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 3: like a Goldilocks zone. 160 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 2: Yes, that's what I would say, Yes, yeah, yeah, Well 161 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 2: give us some of the great stories from the Pacific 162 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 2: North weird Okay. 163 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 3: Well, one passion of mine has always been lighthouses. There's 164 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 3: something about them that really it transfiss me. I feel 165 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 3: like I'm stepping back in time whenever I'm around them. 166 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 3: And there's some beautiful ones all along the Pacific Court 167 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 3: coast of Washington, Oregon, York, and California. And any good 168 00:10:54,920 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 3: lighthouse has to have a good ghost story. Oh yes, yeah, 169 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 3: And there's a couple of ones that really stand out 170 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 3: to me. One in particular as the Hasida Head Lighthouse 171 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 3: that's a near Florence, Oregon, right off of the Highway 172 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 3: one on one, beautiful scenic highway one on one that 173 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 3: just pretty much just goes right down by the ocean 174 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 3: for almost the entirety of the Organ Coast. And this lighthouse, 175 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 3: it was built in eighteen ninety two. And it's actually 176 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 3: not the lighthouse itself that haunted, but the caretaker's house 177 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 3: right next to it that has all the hauntings. And 178 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 3: for many, many years people have claimed to encounter this 179 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 3: entity called the Gray League, also known as Rue are 180 00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 3: Uv like like Rue McClanahan. And in the seventies, this 181 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 3: hast ahead white house and the property was leased to 182 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 3: the Wayne Community College and they used as a coastal 183 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 3: classroom and retreat and a group of students were playing 184 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 3: with Aligi board and that spelled out the name Rue. 185 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 3: But since then, yeah, caretakers have reported all kinds of 186 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 3: encounters with what they call it a withered old lady 187 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 3: that floats across rooms. Sometimes she'll scream in the middle 188 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 3: of the night, She'll rattle dishes in the cupboard, pass 189 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 3: through walls and closed doors. One really see a story 190 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 3: involved a handyman that was doing some repairs on the 191 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 3: outside of the house and he had accidentally broken the 192 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 3: attic one of the attic windows with his ladder, so 193 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 3: he climbs up the ladder to fix it, and he 194 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 3: sees in the attic the gray Lady, and it just 195 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 3: scares the heck out of him, and he's so frightened 196 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 3: that he leaves the job, refuses to repair the window, 197 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 3: and there's always broken glass in the attic. But later 198 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 3: that night the caretakers say that they hear the sound 199 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 3: of sweeping going on in the attic above them. The 200 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 3: next day they go up there and find that all 201 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 3: of the glass had been swept into a perfectly neat 202 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:44,599 Speaker 3: little pile. Oooh like. Yeah, but the gray Lady, it 203 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 3: seems like she cares about the house, like she wants 204 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 3: it kept well right, And apparently there's an old photograph 205 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 3: that shows the house along with a tombstone in the 206 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 3: front lawn. And the theory is that Rue was the 207 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 3: wife of an old caretaker and her her child had 208 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 3: died really young and had been buried on the property, 209 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 3: so she's just there to take care of the property 210 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 3: and try to find her her lost child, and she 211 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 3: is very sad. 212 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 2: When people tell you these stories, do you do? You 213 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 2: go to the locations and then shoot stuff, and then 214 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 2: you've included that into your YouTube. 215 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 3: Sometimes there's there's a lot more stories than I've ever 216 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 3: had time to actually put the film right. So in 217 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 3: a certain way, you know, Pacific North weirds a YouTube channel, 218 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 3: but it's also like a state of mind for me. 219 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 3: So I'm just constantly, even if I'm not making a video. 220 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 3: I love visiting these places. I love collecting the stories. 221 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 3: I love collecting ephemera related to these weird places and 222 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 3: these great tales. I haven't done any videos in particular 223 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 3: about Hasid Ahead, but it's a story I just love telling. 224 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 3: And who knows what the future will bring. 225 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 2: Well, we've just got a couple minutes before the break, 226 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 2: but I wonder if you can tell me about the blobs. 227 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 3: I only have the Oakville Blobs, so that actually happened 228 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 3: right near where I grew up. I grew up in 229 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 3: a town called Rochester, Washington. Next town over is Oakville. 230 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 3: It's this small logging town in Grace Harbor County. And 231 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 3: on August seventh, nineteen ninety four, this weird blob rained 232 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 3: down over the a small town, a police officer was 233 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 3: patrolling at the middle of the night and it began 234 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 3: to rain on his car, so he turns on his 235 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 3: windshield wipers and noticed that it's not only rain, but 236 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 3: the windshield wipers were smearing this gooe like substance over 237 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 3: his windshield. So he gets that to examine it, and 238 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 3: wearing gloves, examines the the go and he says it's 239 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 3: kind of jello like, But soon, like within hours after 240 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 3: the end of the substance, he gets very very ill. 241 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 3: Other town residents, one in particular, Sunny Bark Clifts. She 242 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 3: worked on a farmhouse in Ulkville and that morning found 243 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 3: just tiny globules the size of the grains of rice 244 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 3: that were like jellyfish like in nature in texture, and 245 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 3: her mother got really set started experiencing extreme Vertico disneyness. 246 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 3: Another resident named Beverly Roberts found a dead raven and 247 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 3: a dead frog on the side of the road and 248 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 3: they were surrounded by this blobi like substance. So something 249 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 3: really weird was happening, and Sonny Barclett, she takes her 250 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 3: mom to the doctor and the doctor diagnoses her with 251 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 3: something called Menneer's disease, which is a disorder of the 252 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 3: inner ear. But soon after the entire wating room is 253 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 3: full of other Oakville residents, all with the same symptoms, 254 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 3: and he diagnoses them all the same. 255 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: Listen to more Coast to Coast AM every weeknight at 256 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: one am Eastern and go to Coast to coastam dot 257 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: com for more
