Welcome, welcome, welcome, everybody, to the Ciluminati Podcast, episode 43. It's crazy. I, as always, your host, Mike Martin, joined by my two co-hosts, Alex Fasciani. Hello, so your beard's coming in nicely, slowly, but surely. Yes, and I'm honored that you didn't mention the sore in the corner of my mouth. I can't see any, so that's why. What? Thank you.

You outed yourself so quickly. Look, I'm fine, you know? I'm at my house, you know? Social distancing. That's good right now. But speaking of a sore-less person, Jesse, what's up? Welcome. I got sores, but you just can't see them.

They're emotional sores, and it's okay. Well, all right. Well, see, that's not where I went. I went emotional. I was going for, I was going for genitalia, but whatever. God, listen, I was trying to play it, you know, Koi and Eloquin. You know me. I don't play Koi.

I know you don't. Speaking of not playing Koi, let's chill. Hey, thank you, everybody, by the way, for the support on the Patreon since we launched it last week. We are instantly almost at two grand. We're almost at 300 patrons over on that Patreon. Thank you so much. That's almost halfway to weekly episodes, man. It is.

It is almost halfway to weekly episodes. You guys probably should give them something good for that, then. Like weekly episodes. Yeah, I know. I'm just saying. Well, they also got to make sure that aliens are real or something. Well, one day, Jesse, listen, here's my promise to you. When this podcast ends, whenever the last episodes...

Yeah, whatever the last episode... You're already planning for the end? The finale, the series finale. Yeah, when eventually it ends, whenever 10 years, 20 years, 100 years from now. 100 years? We could enter the singularity at that point. Transhumanism, baby. Yeah, exactly.

Anything is possible. You will believe in aliens. You're telling me that when I become half a robot, I'm still going to be like, time for the podcast. I hope so. You are incorrect. When you're a robot, you just think about it and create the audio file. Exactly. We record them faster than their runtime.

And if you ask my dad, way before we hit the singularity, there's going to be disclosure. Well, I'm with your dad. Your dad and me would be good friends. I think so. Speaking of dads, before we do anything, really short story that I want to tell you guys. I wrote down this note because it's very... I feel like this is something that relates to us. So anyone who lives in LA knows that Hollywood is crazy town.

And there are a lot of people there who just are a little, you know, out there. Delusional, yeah. And so the other day, I went to Hollywood to go grab a thing that was related to my favorite game, Control. And we stopped to get coffee. And we were at a coffee bean. And we're sitting there talking about, you know, coronavirus and all sorts of nonsense. And a guy sitting next to us, who's been on the phone the entire time we've been there, screaming about silver and gold futures or something, finally turns and looks at us and says, oh yeah, do you kids work from home?

And we're like, I mean, no, not really kind of. And he's like, oh, I work from home. And he said this, this is verbatim. Oh God. I always work from home. Cause everywhere I go is my home because I live in the now the earth spins and rotates at something, something miles per hour. I'm at a different point all the time in the galaxy, traveling at the speed of thought into the universe. My reality is the reality.

Y'all should know that. I think you do. Whoa. I hate that I mostly understand what he said. We looked at him like, what? And then because we felt obligated, started talking to him and he started mentioning to us. He's like, have you been to silver? I don't know what the website was.

Something silver. He's like, you got to get it on that. Cause that's how he cured Corona. And I was like, oh boy. I hope he wasn't talking about centrum silver because that's a different. But all day I was thinking about the speed of thought and how that's a great like rush album name. I'm going at the speed of thought. Stars shooting out of my eyes and butt.

The speed of thoughts, my new favorite line of, and I want to make a book called the speed of thought. That guy, he, and the thing was it wasn't like crazy ramblings. It was, he said it, looking at us in a coherent, like this is the truth. Yeah. And we are traveling at the speed of thought through the universe. I was like, Oh, no. You know, you know that, you know, the X men kitty pride, you know, she like walk through walls. Yes.

So there's, there's a time there's one, there's one story arc where her body gets taken over. I don't remember the exact circumstances, but the person who takes over her body is able to like phase her in such a way that she detaches from the earth. And the earth is rotating at like, you know, something like 2000 miles an hour or something. So she can basically like teleport, like, like teleport at the speed of thought by, by, by just waiting. And then the whole earth moves to catch up with her. I just want to share it because it blew my mind. I was like, I never thought of stuff like that before. Not once have I ever heard the phrase speed of thought and it blew me away.

No, but like, but like, he's right at every moment. You know, you're a different point of the galaxy and his reality is the reality for him because that's the only reality he knows. That's what I'm saying. It's, it's like, it was very philosophical. Yeah. Also at a coffee bean at 11 a.m. Like it's a little wild. Maybe it's early for you, but it's a late, it's late for him at this.

Maybe you just woke up and you were still in VR chat and you didn't realize and you got a point and got coffee in VR chat. And man, like what's, what's crazy is this is, I'm just going to put this little cap in the story. He told us to go check out his three Instagram accounts. Oh boy. And he said, you, you kids, he pointed to us because I guess he was listening to conversation. He's like, you kids, you could be on TV. The four of you are hilarious with your conversation. Really funny.

You could do it. You know, I run a business and you know, just message me on my Instagram account. We're like, okay. So after he left, we were like, you got to check out his Instagram account. We could all number one of them of the three mentioned, but the one he mentioned, we went to it's like pictures of him and celebrities. It's crazy. We were like, wait, is this a person of importance? His avatar is him and John Voight.

Like thumbs up. It's so crazy. All the celebrities is horrible as John Voight. Like James Woods and shit. Like it's, it's, it's insane. I just, I'm not going to put it out there. Cause the last time I vocally said an account of someone, people went online and shamed that person. It was a dude who like ate whipped cream and we've loved his videos.

We're like, oh my God, this guy's so funny. And then we put it out there and people went and were like, you suck. And then he left the internet forever. And so I will not do it. This guy in private. I will share this person's account. But oh my God. Do you remember at Indie popcorn?

You and I met a guy who quote unquote ran a business who wanted to quote unquote make a convention with you. Oh my God. Yeah. The guy who in the mall, he was like with his kids and he was like, yeah, I'm like, I own like an olive oil empire. Some shit. Some really weird. He's like, I'm building an e-sports arena in every major city. And then I like looked him up and he had like a self published like print on demand book on Amazon.

And that's it. All right. That happens to me with a frequency that's unsettling. I know. What the fuck is that? I wasn't even in LA at that time. That happens at every Chipotle. Yeah.

We were like, we were leaving PF Changs. We were leaving. All right. We've got a great episode for you today. But before we move over there, just that, hey, if you guys want like the show and want to support, check out the Patreon. Maybe toss us a couple bucks. If you want to go up to the, to the, the zealot tier, the $15 tier. That's where we drop bonus episodes after every single episode.

It goes live. We're at the Patreon. But if you're sitting here listening to this episode right now and you're like at the end of it and you're like, shit, I wish I had a little bit more. Illuminati. If you're not a member right now, if you go log in every single episode we've ever done. We'll be like, once we, since we started the, the Patreon, we'll have an extra like 15 to 20 minute episodes. So that's, that's value. It is value.

Check it out. We appreciate your support. And we love doing this. Now today, boys, we haven't done one of these since early December. It is a reader story episode. I'm so ready for this. Oh my goodness. I can't believe, by the way, I can't believe it's not only marketing.

I can't believe it's not only March, but we're, we are one fifth away through the year. It's wild. 2020 has simultaneously blown by and felt like an eternity. We're more than a fifth of the way through the year. We're getting there. Yeah. We're ready to, I'm ready to call this one like early and we could just move on to 2021. Like 2020 and let's just push past 2021.

If you have the Corona virus, we love you and we hope we can entertain you while you heal. That's the goal. And for everyone else, stay away from everyone. You're not doing it for yourself. You're doing it for everyone else, the elderly and those who would get sick. Keep away. You're, if you read your entire comics collection three times, it's three times as big, you know, I mean, stay inside.

That's what I've been doing. I don't know if the math checks out on that. Oh yeah, definitely does. I've been doing it myself. Stay indoors. Be safe. Well, let's be safe by reading some ghost stories. We get inundated.

By the way, thank you everybody. You guys send us so many goddamn stories. I can't keep up the emails, the DMs, the subreddit. It's wild. And now that we have the discord for everybody on Patreon, there's going to, there's already a few up there. But the first one is just simply called paranormal encounters by author or Reddit user basic We'll start off with something a little classic.

He begins, I guess I should start by saying that as a kid, I loved the paranormal. You owe me both, buddy. I was, I was into it since I was a child. However, as I hit 16 or 17 years old, I became more cynical and began disbelieving most ghost stories. Also fair, fair enough. When I turned 19, I moved in with my aunt and my uncle. They had just inherited a house from my aunt's mom that wasn't well kept and offered a room

close to my works and my college in exchange for the occasional babysitting job that I had to do for my three year old cousin and some cheap rent. Things to know. The house was built in the 70s and two people had died in it with my aunt's mom almost dying in it as well. Every month, my aunt would spend a week with her dad and my uncle would go on a trip, giving me three or four days on my own. During these days, I often heard my cousin's toys start making noise and would go into

her room, turn off the toy and then put it away. Ten minutes later, the noise would then resume. I'd go remove the battery and toss it, figuring that the battery was dying. Ten minutes later, the noise would start up again. At this point, I figured it was probably some electrical thing that I just didn't understand and would bury the toy under the blanket so I didn't have to listen to it. Side note, my mom actually has this issue at her place. Like now, presently.

What exactly are you talking about? She has a room, a playroom. She has a playroom for my nieces and my nephews, two nieces and a nephew. She has a bunch of toys in there. She says at night, they will constantly go off and she has pulled batteries from them and they go off anyway. She has had weird experience in the house in general. It is what it is.

My sister has had some bizarre experiences in that room as well. I saw this video recently online that's like... This guy has a bunch of Legos. He's like a Lego man. He's like a lifetime Lego guy. He has bins and bins of bricks that are just not built. He always hears things that sound like that sound of a hand raking through a shitload of Legos. It's a very pleasing sound.

He hears that coming from his storage closet a bunch of times. Finally, there's a video of him filming it and he goes in there and he starts filming the stuff and he doesn't see anything as he's there. You know what I mean? The guy in the video does not see anything. But he posted it later because in the video, it's like close to the door is where all the bins of bricks are. But all the way back into the room is like one million things that he's built over the years. I think I've seen this video.

There's like a Lego Technics robot near the back that looks just like a sick mech battle bot type thing. And it totally like... Rotates. Turns and looks at him as he leaves. And it's fucking scary. I've seen that video actually. It's scary. There's another video I told you boys last week about the guy who was sitting in his bed. And there's the desk and he has his lamp on there and the lamp is off on his desk and he films it.

And then he rotates to the window that's on his closet door and not the window, the mirror. And in the mirror, the desk lamp is on and he rotates back and then back to the thing and he's like, fuck this. And he's like, I'm out. And he was talking about it in the post and he's like, I did not go back into my room that night. He's like, I was out until daylight came. That's like, I would never stop searching for the answer to that if that happened to me. But he said it hasn't happened since. Like, what do you do at that point?

I would not have left the room. I would have been like, oh my God. I would have turned on the lamp and see what happened. Yeah, would have messed it. Touch the mirror. Jump inside the mirror. Enter the different reality where the Beatles are around. Just step next to it.

You know, go through the matrix. What did Jesse say when he said he'd see evidence of the paranormal? He'd be like, tight. Tight what? I would be like, all right. Let's get crazy. But anyway, my mom heard the toy thing is not necessarily out of the... That's pretty regular for hauntings.

And then we'll see what they say from here on out. Anyway, afterwards, about a year after moving in, I started seeing things out of the corner of my eye or in reflections. I would be walking out of my room and see a small child dart into it. Figuring it was my cousin, I would go tell her to get out only to find my room empty and my cousin playing in another room nearby. This lasted for the entirety of my stay and I figured it was just sleep deprivation mixed with college stress. But things got worse after a camping trip to a nearby national park. By this point, I had been living in the house for three years and was in my junior year of college. Some friends and I went camping after finals and as a joke, I bought a Ouija board at mistake number one.

You bought the thing to invite the spirits into your little domicile. It literally is sold by a children's toy manufacturer. For the 900th time, it is not the fact that it is a toy, but it is the meaning that you attach to it. It is the intent that you attach to it. If I drew a pentagram with a piece of chalk or with a Sharpie or with a highlighter... If you drew out a Ouija board in marker and used a glass, it doesn't matter. It literally is being sold to you by a toy company. It's not real. Honestly, even buying it is not the problem. The problem is opening a doorway to the demon realm.

It doesn't have to be the demon world specifically, but whatever's out there. You're a pussy if that's not what you're doing with your Ouija board. If you're going to buy one, you might as well go straight to hell. I would just go straight and make a deal with the devil. Let's just do this. Have my soul for eternity. Why would you do that? Because according to religion, I just have to apologize to God before I die and I'm good. That's not how that should work.

It's the same thing as getting up and turning on the light when the light's on in the mirror. It's just satanic. It's fine. It's totally fine. What is happening right now? The two of you should be the most worried about satanic packs. I'm not worried about it. Are you kidding me? When I was a kid, I have distinct memories. Bunk bed, top bunk, laying up in the middle of the night, making deals with God to be like a superhero.

And then when that failed, I would try and barter with Satan. I'd be like, you can have my soul just make me a power ranger. Who are you? Because in my childhood mind... Well, I did. I tried. And then he didn't listen to me, so I was like, well, alright. Eternal soul to be a superhero. And my childhood mind was like, well, I might be in hell, but I'll be a hero while I'm alive,

and I'll just do good while I'm here. I can't wait to get like, welcome to hell, hero. Now let's stick these turtles up your ass. That's bomb, dude, right? From hell? Why is that? Is that something Mathis would like, bring to the part? No, I think that...

These personal hell is like, turtles up the ass. No, that's my personal hell. No, because the guy, all of the tortures are hero related. So first is Ninja Turtles up the butt. And then he'd be like, alright, now wear this cape. And then they'd carve an S on you. Right? And then you have a bloody S.

An alleyway. Yeah, then they'd repeatedly kill your parents in an alleyway. Oh, yeah. Come on, come on. They go to kill your mom. They don't know what Martha they're supposed to kill. They just kill them both. The devil just takes you to see Zorro, and you're like, what are we doing?

And then you take a field trip to Amityville. Yeah. And then you wrap it up. Actually, is it the Mask of Zorro? Because that's a great movie. I hate you guys. I've seen it. I don't remember anything.

Dude, it is good. I watched it recently. I bought it on a movie for like six... Yeah, Mask of Zorro is great. It's a great movie. It's the same guy who did Golden Eye and Casino Royale. It's a great movie. Who would have thought that basic bestial would have caused so many different tangents out

of us? I'm worried for you, Mathis. Me? I've never been more worried. Yeah. Not because I think a demon's going to get you, but because you're willing to do anything for power and that worries me. It's not anything for power.

It's just anything for happiness. Come on. That's even more worrisome. That's bad news. All right. Let's continue the story. Let's continue. Don't worry about me, by the way.

Anything for happiness is fine. As long as I don't do anything illegal or criminal or... That's it, really. Yeah, but I want to like have to, you know, save you because I won't let you know. You would come save me? Jesse, you would come save me? I would not. No.

Oh my God. See, what the fuck? We almost had a moment. If I could save you, I would, but I don't know. I know Alex would try, but... Here's the thing. Prayers and well wishes. Thoughts and prayers is what I'd send your way.

All right. Well, if I'm going to hell, thoughts and prayers might help. So we'll stop to a lot of stuff. It saved a lot of lives. It did save a lot of lives. So many lives. So this person and their friends bought a Ouija board and they went out camping. And as always, as you do when you're this age, they drank a little bit.

He, however, stayed sober so that they could keep an eye on them, very responsible. And they brought the board out to play after they had a few drinks. There were two others playing with me, friend A and friend B. And the conversation with the Ouija board went as follows. Yes. I'm ready for this. Question. A friend A.

Is anybody there? Board. Yes. Oh, does anybody want to be the board? Can we substitute for friend B? Who for friend B? The board for friend B, because that's who the board actually is. Well, wait, there is a friend A and a friend B.

Oh, I know there are the characters. I'm saying that the board is actually played by friend B. I see what you're saying. Yes. Oh, okay. Who wants to be, but go on. All right, Jesse, you're going to be the board. I will be the board.

Yes, I'm ready. Yes. Alex, you'll be friend B. Okay. All right. Well, you're going to take it from friend B point. Go. Do you know any of us?

Yes. Wow. Very scary. Who do you know? And then he's spelling out your name right now. Basic Bastille. And then Basic Bastille says, how do you know me? Watching.

You've been watching me? Yes. Okay. Tell me something only I would know. Your grandmother has a really nice name, but she's fucking dead. She died on this specific day. Okay. Okay.

This isn't funny. How'd you guys know this? Always watching you. And who are you? SL, SL, repeating several times. And then it repeats. Maybe he meant like slow. Yeah.

He couldn't, he couldn't figure it out. He's trying to sound it out. He's trying to sound out his own name. How do you spell demonic in English? Okay. And then the person then says, this isn't funny. Goodbye. And the board responds.

No bitch. You're forever. Which is always weird because you're supposed to just say goodbye. This continued for several minutes until it finally says goodbye. We immediately toss the board into the car and try to joke around a light in the mood. About an hour later, roughly two to three o'clock in the morning, one of the girls needs to go pee. So we all, we all go about a fourth of the mile down the path to the bathroom. On our way back, we walk along the road.

On my left is a steep ditch with the forest and one of my friends stays on my right. The rest of our group trails behind. As we're walking and making small talk, I feel something grab my left arm and yank. I stumble and trip into the ditch, panicking as I scramble back up. I turn to yell at the group behind us about a stupid prank, only to see that they are about five yards away and all look scared. They start saying that they didn't do anything and they saw my arm get pulled, but I say I must have just tripped.

We rush back to the tent only to find the board on our mattress with the planchette on hello. I grab it, throw it in the nearby trash can. When the morning comes, we find out that my forearm is covered in bruises as if someone grabbed it hard. I try to brush it off as a result of the fall I had. After I got back to the house, things only got worse. I started hearing banging at night and seeing an older woman in mirrors and reflections. I also had a weird interaction with my aunt's friend who was very, who was very spiritual. She and I got along decently.

After the camping trip, she started saying that something dark was following me and would refuse to be in the same room as me. Things eventually quieted down after I moved out. Sometimes I wonder if there was a mold or something causing me to become paranoid. But I did also have a priest bless the house that I moved into, just in case. I wonder if there's a SL connection. Sadly. Yeah, I want to, for the sake of story, basic bestial.

You're looking up demon names or something, SL? Yeah, but what is research SL? Hit us back up on the SL. The only thing that came to my mind when they said SL was that... There's that Ouija board demon Zaza, I don't know if you've heard of it, or Zhu Zhu sometimes. It just does the same thing over and over. It just goes Z-A-Z-A-Z-A-Z-A repeatedly. And then sometimes it'll do Z-U-Z-U-Z-U-Z-U instead. Oh, so it's a slow, slow?

Little slow slow? Yeah, this is a little slow, slow. Cousin to Zaza? Not as good as Zaza. Not as good. I wonder what's in that person though, look into their previous ghost house, their family history, just to see... Yes, the SL, there's a lot here that usually, especially with stories like this, where you know, who knows everything goes on with the story,

but there's a lot of information you can research, I think. Yeah, well, like I said, there's two people that died in the house, so who knows? Maybe the old woman that you saw, maybe that has, maybe one of them, who knows? But if you do do, hey, hey, but if you do more research, drop it on Reddit, let us know. The thing that's good about SL versus your grandmother's name is that you already knew your grandmother's name. So maybe, even if unconsciously, you could be somehow guiding that. But with SL, unless you already know and you're being coy right now, like finding out what SL is would probably be a great way to figure out more about this.

Also, does everyone have like a crystal lady in their life? Like a mom's friend who's spiritual? Because I feel like that's like... I wish I did. No, I feel like that's in like every story. I'm imagining like Lisa Marie, you know what I mean? Like, vibes. It's just like, oh, what about like Mary Ann Williamson? Yeah.

You think she's like a secret medium? Here's the thing, I love her. I mean, I loved her vibes. A romantic way. Well, Mary Ann Williamson, if you're listening and you should, this podcast would be up your alley. She seems like the kind of wild that I could have a lot of fun with. I dig her. I'm like, you're just my kind of crazy.

She seems like safe crazy. Safe crazy? Like she's not going to stab you while you're sleeping. Right. Like she's out of curiosity. Yeah, exactly. I've dated people where I've honestly worried about that. So it would be a stupid step up for me. One person I dated that I was like, oh, she's going to kill me when I'm sleeping one day. What the fuck are you guys talking about?

Oh my God. Oh, I want to, I want to. At least just because you have healthy relationships doesn't mean... I'm just, okay. Okay. I'm just saying, you're going to sleep and you're like, there's a possibility this person's going to kill me. But like, I don't know what... The sex is really good.

It doesn't matter. I can have sex with a flashlight. That thing's never going to kill me. I would not. I would. I could. I could. I don't own a flashlight. And I could warm up my coffee and fuck my coffee. It doesn't mean I want to. I wouldn't do that either. What are you doing?

But your coffee's not going to kill you at night either. And also, nobody's fucking their coffee. That's a bad place to put your penis. Don't do that. You're going to burn yourself. That's the most tender skin on your body. Come on, guys. You also don't want to date somebody who, when you wake up in the middle of the night,

she's sitting upright staring at you and she goes, Whoa. Why don't you want to fuck me anymore? Whoa. Yeah. Whoa. What? I've never had that. Well, because I haven't told you that story.

It's from a long time in my past. What the hell? Look, I just worry because I don't trust people all that much. But you are literally like... You're like... I thought you didn't have you out. So I'm the only one who had like a crazy experience. This is like, love line.

I mean, I've had plenty of things happen to me that I would say are crazy, but I've never been like... Mathis! Oh my God! This is what happens when you're like, Yo, Satan, can I have superpowers? This is what happens. You get people who are like,

I will kill you tonight. I will kill you. Well, what superpower did I end up trading for that? Not that you can get anything. Okay, what power did you ask for? Well, I asked for Power Rangers powers and Spider-Man powers. Those are like the two. They're pretty good.

That's pretty good. And I don't have like... I'm not sticking to... Like I get sweaty sometimes, but that doesn't like let me climb walls. Wait, wait. Time out, time out. You wanted two powers?

That's why you didn't get answers. No, go back. If I'm not saying I would barter for both, I just like, it would depend on my mood. I love Spider-Man. I love the Power Rangers. So sometimes I'd ask for one. Sometimes I'd ask for the other.

You were fickle. That's your problem. But I wanted to transform into the Red Ranger. And I didn't try. I tried. I get it. Next story. Alex, you take this one.

How about... All right. This one is called... Go ahead, please. Supernatural Family by Zaddy1. I'm going to just guess that's how you pronounce that. I think that's how you say it. Or Z801.

Zaddy1? I don't know. Zaddy1. Zaddy1. Zaddy1. I'll start with ones outside my immediate family. This one gets right to it. No intro, no bullshit.

Nothing. Here we go. No fluff. I'll start with ones outside my immediate family. I have an uncle who used to let his father-in-law live with his family. Unfortunately, the father-in-law had passed away before he got to see his grandson, who is my cousin. When my cousin was born, they took him home and he became very ill and the doctors could

not figure out why. I don't remember what kind of sickness, but enough to cause panic and multiple diagnostic visits. My aunt was getting desperate enough to seek outside-slash-non-medical help, so a religious figure of sorts came to the house and said that there is a spirit in the house that has lashed onto the baby. My uncle is not a religious man. So whatever.

I don't know what that means. I think he maybe like means like he was like kind of whatever about it. However, seeing his son like that, he was willing to try anything. Okay, I see. So his tactic after hearing that there was a spirit inside the house made him think it was his father-in-law who died and didn't want to move on. So my uncle prayed and said he told his father-in-law that if he didn't leave, then he was going to leave his daughter and grandson.

The next morning, my cousin was instantly better and had no signs of any sickness. Oh my God. You think like the boy was born without a soul and just souls are like, yo, free body. I'm just like, who the fuck, like after you let your goddamn father-in-law live in your house, he pays you back by being a dick, trying to kill your son. Wow, it's like a father-in-law to me. Yeah, I don't know what that's about. That's messed up.

All right. But that's number one. This one is also number one though. So we'll see. Now, fast forward a couple years later. This is a story of two of my cousins. One of them is from the previous story and one of them is from another uncle. So we got that same haunted baby cousin and another cousin from another uncle.

For context, during this time, my cousins are four years old and 14 years old. This story comes from the older cousin. One day, my two cousins were playing together at my younger cousin's house. There are so many cousins in the story. This is a cousin, a cousin copia. One day, my two cousins were playing together at my younger cousin's house and the younger cousin said he needed to use the restroom. The older cousin asked if he needed help and he said, no, because he was potty trained.

At four, I feel like it's a good time to be potty trained. It is a good time. Yeah. So the older cousin continued to play and after some time, the older cousin noticed that the younger one was gone for a while. So she got up and went to look for him. When she found him, she saw him looking at the top of the stairs. The older cousin asked what he was looking at and the younger cousin said, grandpa.

She was confused and said that can't be true because the grandpa was in another country so he can't be here. The younger cousin explained not their grandpa, but his grandpa from his mom's side. That's very specific for a four-year-old. I think that's the father-in-law, right? I think so. Yeah. That's the same.

Yeah. This freaked my cousin out because she knew that his grandpa from his mom's side was dead. So she quickly rushed him away from the stairs and back to the living room to the toys. A few years later, she would bring up that scenario to the younger cousin, but he has no recollection. She told the younger cousin's parents what happened and said they would take care of it. I don't know what that means. I can only think that meant that they told the grandpa to leave again.

Remember, this all crazy because the younger cousin had never met his grandpa from his mom's side. Okay. So he wouldn't be able to recognize him, but it's consistent between the two hauntings. Got it. Okay. Now we're finally to number two. Now, to this day, my cousin is afraid of spirits and supernatural things.

However, I find it very ironic because of my family members to be afraid of the supernatural, she's the only one of my cousins that has lived in a haunted house. This is a collection of stories of the older cousin from the previous story and her encounters with the supernatural. So the basis of this story is about a haunted house that only mess with things on one side of the house, which was a hallway that connected two bedrooms and one bathroom. Okay. This was confirmed by her parents, grandma and aunt who all lived there at the same time.

The supernatural things that would happen would be stuff, would be moved around, beds would be messed up after being made, lights only on that side of the house would turn on and off, basic paranormal activity. However, the adults didn't seem to mind the paranormal activity, mainly because they were immigrants from a war-torn country and a possessed house that wasn't violent was better than no home at all, which if that's not old world wisdom, I've never fucking heard it before. I was going to say, damn man, that is, that is, that hits right to the core of it.

Yeah. So everyone lived their lives in this haunted home while my cousin was aware of it, was never completely convinced. What? So everyone lived their lives in this haunted home while my cousin was aware of it, who was, the cousin was not feeling good about it. Yeah, the cousin wasn't fully convinced of the paranormal. Until one day she came home from school and walked past the hallway and saw an old lady

walk back and forth from room to room. Hate that. My cousin thought it was her grandma until she heard her grandma yelling from the kitchen to see if it was my cousin coming home from school. My cousin dashed into the kitchen to confirm her grandma and she was just cooking some food. My cousin asked my grandma if anyone was at home. Her grandma said no, her parents and aunt were at work.

My cousin told her what she saw and her grandma just replied, it's probably just the ghost and then offered her some food. My cousin flabbergasted by her grandma's nonchalant answer that she just sat down and had some food. From that day, my cousin never went to that side of the house and would use the side door of the house to get to her room, which fortunately was on the other side of the house. Nothing ever happened to anyone in my family that lived in that house and they are all currently alive and my cousin still has a fear of ghosts.

Okay, so that's another story and now we're at number three, the final story and this one says now for a story closer to home. I have a more personal story that I do not remember, but is only known because my mom told me, okay. At a young age, I had a sister that passed away. Sad. I was turning five around the time my sister passed away and she was two. I still have some vivid memories of her despite our short time together.

When she passed away, I was not made aware of her death. I remember the day she passed, I had a dream. I went to her crib and she was gone and I woke up from the dream and went to her crib and saw that it was empty. That's what I remember. However, my mom told me the story was different where I had gone to my sister's crib in the morning and just stared above the crib. When she asked what I was doing, I said I was looking at my sister.

My mom said I told her in detail that I was looking at my sister floating above her crib and slowly floating away. She said I didn't try to grab her or wonder where she went. It was as if I knew what happened and just let it be. I have no memory of this event, but it was what my mom told me. I have no other personal supernatural stories since then. A very haunted home, basically, seems like just a lot of focused spirits just hanging out.

Another old lady, though. Old ladies just be fucking everywhere. I always find family ghost stories really interesting because I had one and it was like, I was so surprised by it because I brought it up that I'd seen something in my grandma's house at a family dinner one time thinking that everybody was just going to be like. But then literally everyone around the table had a similar story in the house of a ghost that they all thought about, but hadn't talked about ever before with everyone. And we were all just freaking each other out by having all these really similar stories.

And I always wonder what that is. And I know some people say that poltergeist activity and stuff like that is psychic. It's like you and your family doing stuff. And usually very closely tied with puberty. Yeah. And I wonder and I, you know, this cousin was like 14. Everybody is young in this. You know, people always say kids can see ghosts and stuff like that.

And I always wonder about like what is actually at the source of all these stories and why if they are fake, you know what I mean? Like if they are just totally fake made up stories, like why do we all tell them? Like they're so they're so interesting. Yeah. I mean, I think a lot of it, I mean, you can probably like wheel back and be like, yeah, the attention is probably nice. You know, if people heard, but if it's something that's been like you said in the family forever,

there's just no point. There really isn't. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. Freaks me out a little bit. Yeah. It always does.

Jesse, this one's for you. Oh my goodness. All right. Um, my missing friend. This is Felix Egredick. Drick. Yeah. That's a good myth.

That's a good myth. Egredrick. Egredrick. Egredrick. Erdrick from Dragon Quest. Yeah. This is fine to share. I told this story in a video a while back too.

I grew up in an old home in a tiny town, Hamlet rather, called Patricia in Alberta, Canada. Oh, Canada. You know what? This story is going to end with them like, we saw a ghost and we're like, hey, ghost. And the ghost is like, oh, sorry to bother you. Yeah. And then they both said sorry and walked in a different direction. Hey, ghost.

Did you see that fucking kid, by the way, a kid from Canada who's like, you know, came here, traveled all the way here to go to Disneyland, tell me it's closed, drove a long way. I'm like, drink, drink this coffee. Yeah. The comment I saw was like the angriest, most outraged Canadian I've ever seen. How fuming. The max madness of a Canadian person. I love Canada.

If I, Toronto, if I could just be in Toronto, I'd retire in that city. I'm going to be real. It's like on my bucket list to go to Canada and I'm like, might be able to go in like a month or two, but I'm getting out of here. We are rascally virus. Look, I would love, I love. Here's the thing. I've only been to Southern Canada.

I think like most people in the world. I've never experienced anything off the lakes or like Vancouver. Everything else. That's wild territory. I don't know what's up. You boys, you boys should come. We should take like two nights and go spend like two nights in Antarctica. I'm there.

Antarctica. Yeah, dude. Let's go. North. They like the ice hotels that are up there. I think it counts as social distancing. Okay. Can you, can you, can you meet me halfway?

Can we do it? Antarctica is, is, is that South. Cold area. I'm so worried for you. I'm so worried. We're going to be, we're going to be fine. Yeah. All right.

Can we do like a couple of nights in Alaska one time? I'd go to Juneau. That's about as far north as I go. Oh my God. That's fine. All right, Jesse. Keep reading. There's a lot of bizarre stories about this town and probably will over time.

Oh, I love the idea that the town of Patricia Alberta is like haunted or crazy. Okay. But today I'll talk about one of the times when I was in my house with my two friends, Robin and psych psych. First of all, it's sky sky, just joking. We got you. I can't remember our exact age at the time. But we were definitely young teens.

So sometime around 2012. Firstly, the layout for the area of the house this takes place in is a little strange and I may have a hard time adequately explaining without visual reference, but I will attempt to anyway. There were several sections to the attic. The stairs went up. Then there was a small landing and to the left it went up a bit more into another room that also sectioned off into another separate room.

There was also at the landings another set of stairs that went up and around a corner to the right and into a separate attic. This attic locked from the outside with a latch. The upper attic was always the part of the house that was the most foreboding. Anything with like a latched door is going to be the most foreboding. It felt bad. It also had a bad history. A man had at one point hung himself from the rafters and died.

My friends and I decided to test our courage and venture upstairs, excluding Robin, who was decidedly too scared and instead opted to stay at the foot of the stairs and watch listen from afar. Skye, psych, went first and was right behind her. As she rounded the corner on the landing, I heard a loud thump and fearing she fell or tripped. I ran up to see if she was okay. She was gone.

What? The door was latched shut. There was nowhere she could have gone. She was like psych? She couldn't have slipped past me. She couldn't have gone into the attic because it was locked and she couldn't have locked it behind herself. Still, I figured I'd better look for her anyway.

I unlatched the door. It was dark and dusty. The room had one of those pool string lights, and so I stepped nervously into the dark and reached for the string. But when I pulled the string instead of the light buzzing into life, something swung down from the rafters and knocked me onto my back. God. What the hell?

Can you just pull the monkey swings down like whew whew and just kicks you? It really knocked the wind out of me, but I managed to get up quickly. Because this was pretty fucking scary with an EN. Yeah. I never saw Skye again. I ran down the stairs and met Robin at the bottom. I explained what happened, and even though I didn't think it was possible, I asked her if Skye had come back down the stairs.

She hadn't seen her. We proceeded to look for her everywhere. I even got up the curse to properly search the attic and the other two rooms upstairs. Nothing. We figured or hoped that perhaps she was playing a very mean prank on us, but we had just begun to lose hope. Two hours had passed and Skye, oh, what, uh, but we just began to lose hope. So I said, as we had just begun to lose hope, two hours had passed by, Skye comes back down

the stairs. What? She asked me where I went, saying she thought I was right behind her and I was, but she was the one who disappeared. She had no recollection of any time passing while she was missing. To her, it was though she had just turned that, uh, turned that corner. I'll come back with my theory on the town being run by a cult secret society. Whoa, a possible murder and the abandoned house I explored that sparked a wild series

of discoveries. It's also five AM and I'm working. So I have to wait. Is this a trailer? Did we just get the fucking trailer? Right? Felix? We just got trailer'd by Felix Egric.

Oh my God. I need more about this town. What's this town? That's amazing. Patricia in Alberta, Canada. Patricia, Alberta's Haunted Canada by Egg Dick. Oh my God. I'm blown away by this.

I love this story. Honestly, they disappear for two hours. I'm sorry, but like that's an alien, a very alien vibe of like turning abducted, two hours disappear and then you're put back where you were found. To me, it almost feels like Ambrose beer's level. It's like some type of like old school, like short story about like a mystifying occurrence at the bridge. It also kind of reminds me of missing four when one of people who think like people step

into portals and like disappear for hours and then show up somewhere else. I don't want to bring them up too much. I don't want to bring up. I don't want to invite more. I don't want to ruffle any feathers. Yeah. Hey, man, if they want to throw us on their subreddit again, that's fine. Yeah.

You know, if you want to just, I'll go ahead and say that you might be wrong about the facts and some of the missing four one ones cases. And if that gets us back on that message board, let's do it. But also remember this missing four one one people. If we always got into like knock down drag out fights with everybody who disagreed with us, we would be on episode one. Yeah. We would never, we would never relax.

So just let it be what it is. Okay. On that. Whoa. Timeout. Please. Timeout. What?

Uh oh. What did Jesse Google? I just Googled Patricia Alberta. I was like, you need to know more. Okay. Okay. All right. Let me just drop some facts.

This is crazy. Okay. For Patricia. Yes. Patricia. Patricia is a hamlet in Southern Alberta, Canada, within the county of Newell. It is not very big. Patricia is next to the dinosaur provincial park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It is named after Princess Patricia and it was briefly famous in the seventies when somebody willed a lot to the hamlet, a lot in the hamlet to the then prime minister Trudeau. So Justin's dad. Is Princess Patricia built in the seventies? Is Princess Patricia a Diplodocus? Why is it a dinosaur? There's a dinosaur world park next to it. I don't know.

Oh, okay. All right. But it's named after Princess Patricia, who is the granddaughter of Queen Victoria. So. Wow. It's named after Princess Patricia by demographics as designated by the 2016 census of the population conducted by the statistics Canada. Patricia has a recorded population of 101 people living in 46 of its 50 private dwellings.

Oh, it's four unlived 101 people. That's it. Y'all. This is like the way it is. This is the perfect town. Oh my God. It's next to like dinosaur bones. It is a place where again, let me restate this.

It was briefly famous in the seventies when somebody just gave a lot of money to then prime minister Pierre Trudeau. Someone in the town just gave him money and like a little while money that made the town famous in the seventies. So this is like some low rank cult member trying to get the truth out. Oh my God. This town is straight up my favorite. This is this is a horror story town.

Listen Felix Egidrick. I know you said that you had to go to sleep and you have work, but if you ever wake up and for some reason I don't know why maybe you aren't allowed to go to your work anymore over a couple weeks in the interest of public health and safety, maybe you could take some time and write us a couple little stories about your town. I will personally hunt your name down on the reddit and get what I can. That being said, we're down to our last story, boys. The last story of this episode anyway, it's simply titled That Time I Lost My Grip on

Reality. Dude, I got a lot of those written by idols to effigies, which I really like. I like that name. I listened to them when I was in middle school. They go. It begins hearing Jesse's story about taking psychedelics at a party in the way it altered his perception of reality, i.e. experiencing time as though he had gone home and gone to bed only to wake up still at the party.

Maybe you're still at that party. Maybe. God, I would have so many lessons learned. I could go back and redo my whole life and I'd be great. Oh my God. That time reminds me of the only time I personally experienced something that borders on the paranormal. Before I start, I want to be clear that I don't think what happened was truly paranormal,

maybe because part of me needs it not to be. And for the most part, it's not hard to see how a dreaming mind might fabricate the events I experienced. However, there's a single piece of evidence that I have no good explanation for and still causes me some unease when I think about it even now. Can I tell you if you're going to send us a story? This is how to do it. You're already winning me over.

You've mentioned my name once. I'm very Trumpian in this. Put my name in more of these stories. Listen to the things Jesse says. That's another big thing. Yeah. I mean, this is so far very good. You know a way into Jesse's heart.

Before I start, I want to be clear. Oh, I already said that. It started on a Saturday. I woke up earlier than normal at around 9 a.m. for a guy who likes sleeping in on weekends. That's early. Dude, you don't have to justify it. 9 a.m. is still early for me. On a Saturday.

Sometimes I go to bed at 7.15 a.m. Yeah, dude. Don't worry about it. Yeah. Don't take advice from us, but just say you're not alone, you know. After unsuccessfully trying to go back to sleep for a time, I decided I would put on something to stream settling on the latest episode that released for the TV show River Monsters.

Yes. If you're unfamiliar, I'd call it a fishing show that has a dash of cryptid style exploration of the mysterious. Though the host is firmly rooted in. There's a logical explanation for this that doesn't involve unknown species or folklore camp, which again, I appreciate when with those kinds of shows, it's why it's why Jesse's here, baby. We need that anchor.

Then he's our friend, but also like he's skeptic entitled killer torpedo. He was investigating the deaths of people on a river that some locals were attributing to the mermaid like creature La Serena. I've actually never heard of that. Have you? I have not, but I'm sure that as soon as the movie comes out, every single person who's listening to this podcast will text us. I can't wait for that tweet for tweet two weeks straight.

The host put forth a convincing argument after hearing eyewitness reports and doing fishing in the areas that the culprit was a fish called a tarpon, something typically more associated with ocean fishing, but can live in certain freshwater systems. After wrapping up the episode, I've touched around my apartment doing various chores and cleaning up after a few hours and with nothing to do, my roommates were both gone and I had no other plans. I decided to settle for it, settle in for an afternoon nap and started to dream. I've always been amazed at how, how can find your dream or I've always been amazed at how

you can find yourself in a dream already knowing the reality you've constructed. So I'm assuming they're meaning like a lucid dreaming and such, which have you, have the two of you ever experienced lucid dreaming before? I've never like, I've never like been like, tonight I will lucid dream. Me either. Have you ever woken up in a dream and know it's a dream? Yes. Me too.

It's happened like two or three times, like, but I, I didn't, I wasn't like ready to like wield the power. No me either. I was just desperate to wake up at that time. I mean, yeah, it can be a very weird experience, but anyway, it's, if you ever have that experience and it's, it's interesting. It's a trip. Yeah.

Um, anyway, I know exactly how my, my dream house is constructed, even if I've never really been there, not from memory, but by virtue that my subconscious created it. Okay. My afternoon dream started off relatively normal. I was in a very cinematic version of New Orleans style jazz town with my dream wife enjoying drinks and local musicians. That sounds like me at E three when mafia three was there. Oh, you know what I think he's saying?

He's he's saying like, when you're in the dream, there are elements of your- You know the house? There's like elements of your life that aren't true, but that are, that you do not question as not true. Like he's saying like, I know my dream wife because my brain is like, yeah, that's your wife that you already have. Yeah. It's like it creates everything.

Yeah. People always say that it's like, or like I'm in a dream and I'm like, I'm pretty sure this one guy was there, but he wasn't that guy. He was like another guy who looked like that guy. Like that. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.

Yeah. Either way, some friends met us and we continued our reverie and I was immensely happy. Suddenly I woke up in a lay down chair, very similar to a dentist's chair. Whoa. I was just, I was restrained by both arms and felt wires attached to my body. I struggled against the restraints and heard immediate shouting and people rushing over. It was hard to make out what was happening, but it was clear that the people around me were not happy.

Dressed in white scrubs with strange silver piping, they rushed to restrain me and things went dark. I'm sitting at a desk in an office cubicle in a high rise building. My brain tells me that this is my desk and that I work here. Are we in the kitchen right now? Yeah. That's this very inception. Ask.

Yeah. I don't enjoy it, but it pays. All right. I take my lunch break, have a sandwich, get some coffee and head to a meeting. My brain tells me I attend every week. As my coworkers are gathering, I noticed that my wife was in attendance. I called her name and asked why what she was doing here. She told me that she works here and that's not my name.

Her name badge confirms this, but I know that this is my wife who I went to New Orleans with. That's when I realized that all my coworkers were from New Orleans. My manager being the upright bassist from the celebration I was at. What the fuck? It's like finding out your boss is also the chatted a party. He brings the acoustic guitar and tries to like strum a tune every time you're like, God, shut up, Chad.

That's when I realized that all my coworkers are from New Orleans, my manager being the upright bassist from the celebration I was at. As I'm about to shout at my wife, don't you remember? I notice a tidal wave moving from the distance over the cityscape. Only instead of blue, green of the sea, it's completely black. Then I remember the white room and the people in scrubs. I understand now this is a punishment, though I can't remember my crime. How many times have I remembered in reality was erased, wiped out and started over?

I don't know. I don't remember. They don't want me to. I'm desperate to avoid the inky blackness. I bolt outside the room away from the windows and toward the stairs. My coworkers don't move or react as they're consumed by the black flood. I make it to the stairs, but not to the roof as the void overtakes me. I wake up in bed.

My TV is on just like I left it with the River Monsters host talking about Central America. I turned to look at my alarm clock to see how much of the afternoon was left, but it was 9 30 in the morning. I jumped up to check the timestamps on my TV and found out that it was less than 15 minutes into killer torpedo episode. What? I rushed out of my room and found that none of the chores I remember having done were finished.

The dishes were still dirty in the sink. The laundry unfolded in the dryer. It hadn't been real. I apparently dreamed the entire morning routine. A stonage that I could dream that much in that amount of time, that amount of a time span less than 15 minutes going from the timestamps in the episode. I went back to my room and resumed the episode of River Monsters and was struck by an extremely powerful sense of deja vu.

Out loud. I said a single word that shook me to the core, tarpon. Why do I know what the ending of this episode is when I only dreamt it happened? It was impossible. It wasn't even 10 a.m. yet, so I couldn't have possibly played through it twice, which I would later confirm directly through viewing history as the episode is 42 minutes long. Why do I know that tarpon is the fish revealed to be the culprit at the end of an episode that I had not seen?

Because at this point I left my apartment. I went to a local diner and then to my local game store when it opened because I needed to be around other people and I needed to get my grip back on reality. Like I said, my logical brain won't allow me to think this is anything but my mind messing with me, but I still can't explain how I know the name of that fish. Honestly, I've never told the whole ordeal to anyone, particularly the bit about the mind prison for lack of a better term. Maybe a dumb part of me still is still scared that revealing too many details would trigger

that black flutter I remember so vividly. I guess we'll find out when I hit post. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my little experience. If not paranormal, then definitely an anecdote about how people's minds can do things with perception that are extremely scary and very interesting. I love this. I love this. That was such a good fucking story.

So first off, I have, with the frequency that is disturbing, I will like wake up, I don't know, maybe let's say the same time like nine or something and be like, I'm going back to bed. I'll go back to bed and I will have a very vivid, what seems like a long, drawn out dream. And when I wake back up, it's been like 38 minutes. That's happened to me numerous times where I've lived like a lifetime in a dream and then woke it up and barely been asleep.

That can be explained because if you wake up and then I'm sure you know this, go right back to sleep within X number of minutes, you will, your body will just put you right back into brim. You will not go through anything else. Yeah, I have, it's weird. Like I've, I don't have like a super rigid routine right now in my life. Like I used to when I was like a kid in school, right? Of course.

But like I, when I was a kid, I used to, I used to like get up, get breakfast, go to school, do all my classes, talk to my friends, get home, get on the bus, go home and then wake up and it's the same day. Like I've done that a couple of times with work. Like I've dreamt I went to work, I served tables, I got paid, I went home and then you wake up and you're like, oh, gotta go to fucking work. Like you've had those moments. Yeah, it's like the least good type of dream.

Have you ever had, have the, either of you, I don't, I mean, this is common. I'm just crazy. This happens to me with alarming frequency. Sometimes I'll be chilling, whether it be reading a book or watching something and then everything will kind of like go dim or quiet or silent and it'll feel like forever passes. Like you just, all of a sudden it just seems like you kind of either doze out or zone out and then all of a sudden all of a sudden sound kind of comes back all at once and it's almost jarring.

And then you look at the clock and it's been like a minute. Yeah. And you're like, what the, like it feels like an extreme amount of like 15, 20, 30 minutes have passed where you've just been chilling and then it's only been a couple of minutes. It's like almost like meditation. It's freaking crazy. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I guess that could be, that could be it. I still like, that's wild. I love stories like this because they're so freaking weird. The tarpon thing is so interesting and I feel like we've all had something like that in our lives. Okay. I, there is, there's actually a scientific term for that where I think like the assumption

scientifically is that at some point in your life, you either saw the end of that episode or you were like in a different room while that episode was playing because you know, this is like, um, uh, you say that you watch this show often when you're trying to like calm down or like come down from whatever. And maybe during one episode you fell asleep and then you slept through the next episode, but you still heard him say, maybe you like woke up and you heard them say tarpon. So who knows, but like there's a scientific explanation like according to science that this is like a thing that happens frequently.

And yeah, I've, I've definitely had it happen to me where I like know a thing and I'm like, I, I've seen this before, haven't I, but I like haven't, I don't know. And in a fun, like slightly paranormal theory is like this kind of weirdly fits quantum immortality in a way where like they see the hospital, they're like, you move their panic making, they're trying to like keep you alive. The black wave comes, you end up dying in this timeline. And so you're shifted to the next closest one or the next closest one is 15, you know, only 15 minutes into the episode before you died or it is you tapped into the matrix

and all those people you saw were the agents and actors who were, cause you were being tortured, right? You were being held down as a prisoner. And so all those people were mind messing with you like in the movies when it's like the character is, I'm the doctor in this one scene, like, uh, inception, right? Yeah, yeah. No, yeah, that, like Alex even said at the beginning, right? That was a very inception start to the story.

Yeah, either way, whatever it was, first of all, I hope you're okay. Uh, what were you saying, Jesse? No, I wish I remember what it was called. There's definitely deep dive of the, the, like, you know, Google search something similar to this, there is a real name for this phenomena of you knowing something and being like, I've never heard this before, but apparently you have. And it was so unimportant to you that your consciousness forgot your subconscious was like, yo, I know what that is.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. That's probably the most logical explanation, certainly. I mean, look, here's, here's what I can say to this person is like, uh, if it makes you feel any better, I'm here reading this that you wrote. I'm real. I have a whole life outside of this podcast. I know it, there's no way to prove that it's like Descartes, but if that makes you feel better, we're all here in real, but also I remember reading something a

couple of years ago, like in 2014 or so, that was like scientists developed like some type of psychoactive drug that they were trying to create where you go into jail for eight hours and you take this drug and it feels like you've been in jail for 1,000 years and like, yeah. And I mean, obviously I'm sure it's not like you, I'm sure it's not like you take the drug and it runs a VR simulation of you being in a jail for 1,000 years. So whatever that mind state is, I think it has something to do with real chemicals in your brain that, that have to do with your perception of time passing.

It's like the same reason why when you get like super into something, it seems like it's been a shorter time than it is. You know what I mean? Yeah. And, and, you know, I don't know, something about this story reminds me of that. Maybe it's almost waking up and seeing a bunch of people around you scrambling to put you back to sleep or whatever. But I don't know, I feel like, I feel like maybe there's something in your

brain that can do something similar. I agree. I think that's like you and Jesse both pose like things that make the most sense, especially since we can all come forward and be like, yeah, we've had weird things that are similar to that. It just sounds like something that the brain can do inside out. And it was all the people in your head and they were like, waking up. Yeah, maybe it was your joy and she's like, okay.

It was your New Orleans amusement park crumbling into the, yeah. And Leonardo DiCaprio was like, the dream's collapsing. Bing Bong was like, I'm trying to plug the machine back into you. Yeah. And start your life over. We need that grace over Leonardo DiCaprio, they incept into that girl's head. I'm game. Let Leonardo in my brain.
