Hello and welcome back to the podcast. I can confirm if you're listening and you can't see me, this is Haley speaking. This is the right podcast. I have a little bit of a jump scare of a voice right now, but we had to push through and make it on the podcast because we have a special guest with us today. Thank you so much for coming on the podcast, Stevie, and stepping away from your zoo. Yeah, thank you. We are so excited to have you, but I'm not even joking when I say stepping away from your zoo. I think every time we hang out, that's the first thing we discuss is like, what's new in the, what's new in the zoo? Yeah. How many animals do you got now? Nine and some. Yeah, I have three dogs and six cats now. And I also have like an isopod colony. So that's cool.

A what? Like roly polies. Oh. But I have a lot of them. Where do you get those from outside somewhere from outside and then somewhere from like um people sell them what online yeah wait so like what do they do it exists it's kind of it's like a fish tank but it's like isopods so wait what do they do they live in like a glass bowl like a terrarium like a 20 gallon

jesus lord they're living the life i remember back in the day when i used to collect roly-polies from outside um they would live in a shoe box for a while and then they wouldn't make it very long but so you've got a sophisticated thing going i do yeah i can only imagine i mean it's literally like a full time job. It has to be because I was just telling you, too. I've only got the two dogs. And every time we're together, I also have a story for you. Yeah.

And I think I just told you Lottie's ass exploded again. Yeah. It's so fucking sad. But like, it's just a thing that like little some little dogs go through. And poor Lottie. So she's, like, at home. So not only am I going through it, Lottie's going through it. We're all just been going through it.

It's been a week. Yeah. How often? You've got to be at the vet more than me. I'm there once a month at least. I go there quite a bit. Not as often, honestly. My last trip to the vet was actually with my cat because he had a kidney

stone which is kind of like is that common in cats too i think in male cats it can be especially like um if they're having like diet problems like he doesn't eat like as much as he should so it kind of built up but um he's okay now yeah but yeah that was my last trip to the vet actually um it's kind of funny because growing up which we can get into like some of your hobbies, but we definitely always thought you were going to be the vet of the family of how much you love your animals. I think you're responsible for like 98% of the animals we ever had growing up. I can agree.

Yeah. I mean, it's definitely something that you, like, always liked. But now you're kind of doing some other stuff. You're doing, like, graphic design. What have you been up to? Yeah. Basically, my free time, which is a lot of the time, I've been, like, learning graphic design, like, on my own. Like, YouTube videos and just, like, playing like playing around with like the whatever you want

to call it um program yeah the different programs i was asking you about that because you showed me like you literally created like an animation from scratch yeah and it was like moving around and i was like wait how are you doing that because like actually um but yeah i feel like we've kind of had like the same hobbies in that sense of like the creative stuff but you're way more tech savvy which maybe that's just part of um my age but also you're talking talk about your dating life a little bit it's so weird like obviously i know all this stuff uh it's my little sister but uh I I love I love who you're dating so if you want to talk about it yeah um my boyfriend his name is Jace um he moved in with me like last

year in like December um it's going really well we've been together for like two years now um we were long distance for a while wow that's crazy yeah it's hard but I mean like I feel like if you really have a connection someone can work especially if you make time for it to work it's um pretty like a hard thing but it's a lot easier and it's like worth it once you get to live together and like actually experience those things um but yeah it's been like really fun it's been like a learning experience too like I'd say this is like my first like serious relationship like in my adult life dude it's so crazy wait so you're 20 I always forget you're 22 right 21 21 okay almost 22 don't age me no no that's perfectly fine with 21 that's so weird too like I just feel so everything you

say makes me feel old now but um doing long distance I feel like is also something kind of I don't want to say gen z because I don't even know if you're gen z I feel like you're kind of in between but I don't know I feel like you've always been way better about like internet relationships and like meeting people online where like I feel like our generation was very like you don't talk to strangers on the internet from it but like I don't know how has that been for you um it's been actually pretty decent I'd say growing up I kind of grew up like playing like games on their internet um it's what I spent a lot of my time doing so I made like a lot of my friends like on the internet especially yeah like, a lot of my friends, like, on the internet.

Through gaming? Yeah. That's so crazy. So I've, like, had friends on there that I've had for, like, five to eight years. And, like, it's been. Just through gaming? Like, do you still play the same games with them? Not, like, all the time.

But, yeah, like, it's been. That's so wild. That's really crazy. Wait, so for a while, too too I know you talked about doing the twitch streaming for gaming because that's like something you always wanted to do did you end up ever like going through with it or like I know nothing about twitch yeah or I think too even when I started this podcast I was like what's a discord um but what is that about like did you end up doing any of that I did actually um I started making like

everything so um I could actually start it and then I tested it out and then I had a problem with it and I didn't get around to fixing a problem because I get distracted by life but um no yeah that is something I like still like want to like pursue and work on when I have like the time to actually do it it's a lot like we know firsthand and we were just talking about this on the way to the podcast like so much stuff goes into it that you don't think about and like little problems arise and then it's like yeah I mean it took us nine months to like actually make the first episode like it was in the works for nine months so yeah it's uh it can be a could take up a lot of time and even after that i feel like every week for like the first three months we

had a different problem every single week it was something new and we still run into problems yeah we still have issues um actually funny speaking of last week or not last week because we weren't here last week the week before when we had um brandy come on do the tarot readings what i told you we'll talk about a little bit about that but i forgot all of the sd cards to like record we had nothing to record time we had a guest in this space well i guess we had elena the week before yeah but like not family and i didn't bring anything to record it so we had to like run and go buy some sketchy sd cards um store down the street yeah yeah and it was just yeah it could have been bad so it was a problem

it's a learning curve yeah but definitely still keep keep at it if you like doing it i know you've always been like i just feel like the game stuff and like the tech stuff and it's just the difference I think between but it's all creative and like intertwined that way so I think that's fun any what other what other hobbies and stuff I know you told me you were like reading for like a class and like volunteering yeah I did that over um before the summer started I did that for like a few months um it was actually my kindergarten teacher she teaches like first grade now um so I started like reading for her kids and like helping them just like in um like my free time and when she needed it it was like actually really nice it was like really fun um to do yeah and didn't you too

you did um volunteer at the animal shelter too for a while I did do that for a few months that was actually really cool too and like a really like nice learning experience um I did that for a few months and I got to help out with like the dogs and cats there um I will say like working there you learn a lot of things and like be like what like animals like go through and like how long like some take to get adopted out or like just like like seeing the different kind of personalities and there's like interesting yeah I feel like do you do you think this because I used to think I wanted to work with kids because I just like love kids and I wanted to help. And after like going through an experience of doing my internship and actually like working with kids and stuff,

I felt like sometimes when you're like actually so passionate about something, you kind of have to distance yourself from it because it's really tough to like see firsthand and deal with firsthand. Did you feel that way like with the animals and stuff like was it kind of hard to actually see how they were like living and what kind of they go through because you actually do like them so like you actually care so much yeah it is like like a bittersweet thing I will say like um it's nice to see when like they actually do get like adopted out and like homes and stuff like that but it is like it's nice to see when like they actually do get like adopted out and like homes and stuff like that but it is like it's upsetting like knowing like how animals like come in or like

what they're going through and stuff but um you can't save them all right yeah um yeah it can be it can be tough i was just curious about that i know you did a couple like volunteer things too but yeah you're busy enough anyways with the animals you have I don't think you need to go searching elsewhere um no but speaking of so I brought up how you know Brandy came on and when I talked to you I told you Brandy was coming on do tear it you were like tear it oh my god that's so cool you kind of like knew a little bit about it yeah do you still like look into that stuff I know you did like the like you research crystals before too. You kind of taught me about the crystals a little bit.

Yeah. I do. I am. I collect like crystals at home and I have like a few tarot cards at home. I used to do like just like for myself like daily readings like last summer. Wait, you did it for yourself? Yeah. Oh.

That's sick. So I was like learning a bit about it and like I had like um a notebook of like just like stuff about it it was like pretty fun it's pretty interesting it's a big intuition thing um and just like like almost like a meditation thing like connecting with yourself and just like it's not really so like the cards are going to tell you everything it's like kind of just like an interpretation of like how can this apply to your life and like what are you going to do with this information yeah that's kind of what she was telling us too so actually though brandy's coming to our halloween

party yeah okay and so she's going to be doing tarot reading there so if you wanted are you coming by the way because i invited you i am yeah okay we are gonna be there i'm bringing jay we're both gonna get a tarot reading so let's see how it goes i'm excited what are y'all dressing up at yeah what are you gonna be um we're thinking like a vampire and bat a vampire and bat that's cute or if you wanted to be a part of um me britney Evan, Brian, we're being the Scooby-Doo crew. Okay. So you could be like a villain we unmask. And Jace could also be.

But also it's cute. Your idea is cute too. But what I was also going to say, and I really needed to bring this up is you know scooby-doo is a great dane and you have a great dane whom i love and miss very much and so if he wanted to come be part of our costume be scooby-doo that would be sick um no but honestly too i just really need you to share the story of how we got Duke because before Duke went and lived with you because now you live in your own house but before that Duke was like the family dog and you know I miss him and love him but at the time when we first got him

the story's a little interesting here because I was away at college and I get a phone call from mom that like oh yeah we're getting another dog and I'm like hmm what do you mean no we're not and uh would you care to share the story of how that came about yeah sure um so I've been looking at dogs for a while myself. No one else in the family. You were kind of younger though too. I was. Like how old? So that was like 2015. So.

21 minus 7 equals 14. I know how to do mental math anyways about like 14 15 anyways so um i was looking at dogs for a while and um i saw duke and i decided that online yeah i saw him online and i decided that this is a dog that I want. He looked very grumpy, like a little puppy. And so I went to mom and she was like, okay, like if he's still there the next day, we're going to get him. So I was like, sure. And he was still there the next day to my luck. Thankfully, I love Duke. And she was like, nope, we're not gonna get him anymore.

But I was determined to get him because I had an attachment. But keep in mind, we also had plenty of other animals at this point. I think we had three other dogs at this point. Yeah. So that was why she was probably like, eh, I thought about it.

And probably we don't need another one. Yeah. So, yeah. at this point yeah so that was why she was probably like I thought about it and like probably we don't need another one yeah so especially our most recent being Astrid yeah probably like put off but anyways I was determined still because I wasn't taking that into consideration um and so I had grabbed her her credit card and had went and I typed in the info. But like while typing it in, I was like asking her for help. So like she like knew, but she thought I was joking. So I was like typing it in and I was like, OK, so she knows I'm doing it. She's going along with it.

But she thought I was joking. And then I clicked it and I was like, congrats on your new dog. And she was in the kitchen and I was in the dining room. And she's like, no, you did not just do that. And I was like, congrats on your new dog. And she was in the kitchen and I was in the dining room. And she's like, no, you did not just do that. And I was like, I did. And like two seconds later, she gets an email and she's like, oh, my God. Like, you just bought a dog. Why was it like so easy?

I feel like it's like alarmingly easy. I know because I remember like when this happened i had just gotten lottie and i went through so much to get lottie like lottie i also found her online yeah but with her they did like phone interviews like all this crazy stuff like you had to tell them where you're living how many other animals that's like rat and yours was like you got a new purse or something it popped up on the website it was like congrats on your new puppy i picture with like confetti like no um literally yeah i definitely will say wasn't don't i don't recommend getting a dog off of like a website like that definitely wasn't a good place to get a dog like i was just um wanting a dog really badly but he is a really good he's a good healthy dog now.

He is seven years old. Yeah, it's crazy though because I remember, so when we were growing up, our papa had a Great Dane and we were obsessed. It's like, they're the sweetest dogs in the world, but they're just so huge. It's such a contradiction. And I remember we like

fell in love with papa's dog timber and then when you got duke it was like kind of like where are we gonna put this horse because like they're so big but he's like just the sweetest and i miss him so much i like always send you videos too because when we first got him i was still kind of like coming home a lot, even though I was at college. During the summers, I would come stay home. I have so many cute puppy videos of him, and I just...

You know, he's our Scooby, so he can come to the party. I don't think our dogs would like it very much. No, I have, too. I got two Scooby-Doo collars for Wolf and Lottie. OK, so we can let Duke borrow it for a picture. Yeah, that's crazy.

But let's get into some other crazy stuff going on. And, you know, I don't know if you listen to the podcast a lot, but lately we've been talking about football. We're football girls now. And it just makes no sense, really. It just doesn't compute. but we are who we are and I know you're not that into football but we had a lot of fun at the Lions game we did you came with us on the 8th and I felt like you asked a lot of good questions you learned a little bit about football yeah I will say I didn't learn much, even though I asked a lot of questions.

You guys tried to teach me. I'm just football is very confusing. It's so long to like if you're when you're learning and you're like trying to learn. Yeah, it's just like really long. Yeah, but it was fun anyways. It was a lot of fun. Yeah, it was a cool experience. Well, maybe we have to go again because they

did really well when we were there and now they did really really bad when we weren't there yeah it was really sad to watch i was very frustrated like i guess we've got to go again yeah good luck charms that's the that's the that's what i'm going to get out of that. No, but something else crazy is going on because U of M and obviously I went to MSU, but U going to over 30 games in the last season, taking having people take videos and taking videos himself of whatever signs they do on the sideline to see what play that means. So like obviously when you're a football team, you have secret signs and that means a certain play is going to happen. And so if you're on the opposing team and you know like oh okay this is what the play that they're going to do that's an advantage so it's cheating you're not allowed to do that so this guy that works for U of M has been doing this going to like 30 plus games doing this but the craziest part of this story to me was he is

openly Venmoing people like public, like on public Venmo, which who even does public Venmo? I mean, like, we'll get into that in a second because that blows my mind. But openly Venmoing on public to people paying them to go to these games and take these videos that are cheating.

Yeah. That's the craziest thing. I feel as if I can't comment on this. My boyfriend, Brian, is a very big U of M fan. So I feel like if I can't comment on this. My boyfriend, Brian, is a very big U of M fan. So I feel like anything I say can and will be used against me. So I don't believe the story. That's crazy. Well, they just played MSU and it was a very big blowout week.

Yeah, it was unfortunate day to be a state fan. Yeah, it was not good for us at all. Okay, but this crazy like do you like i feel like that's so weird to have a open public venmo especially when you're doing illegal activities and like i no longer do it's my venmo's on private now i don't need people seeing my business but what i will say is i do love or i used to love i look at other looking at other people's transactions. You can find a lot of information out about people by their Venmo.

Do you stalk Venmo? I feel like Gen Z is different than us in that way, though. I feel like they're worse. I feel like it's not like I go out of my way to do it. But if I open the app and it's just on the open screen, I'll scroll for a second second and just see what's happening I'm like okay like what does that mean it's like emojis I'm like okay okay okay so this makes me feel better because like you try to decode like what do you think they were up to but then at the same time sometimes when I Venmo people I'll pick like really obscure emojis and be like this is what it's for and it's really not. Not related at all. But also like what about find my friends?

Is that like a thing for you guys? Do you stalk people on there? Do you add friends and like see what they're up to? I will say don't add friends on there. I have Jace on there. Like family and like. Yeah. Yeah.

I feel like that's like that's how I use it. But like it's becoming supposedly a thing that people have all their friends on there, and they regularly check it as if it's another form of social media to see what people are doing. In college, I still have a shit ton of people from girls in my sorority. I have all of their locations. Basically, anybody that I've ever been on spring break like bachelorette trips with like I have all these people's locations and sometimes I'll just look at and be like where's everyone at I feel like it was fun in college entertaining but like it's also could be so toxic oh yeah in

college it was definitely toxic where are you what are you up to yeah because you and if people are like telling you the truth oh yeah I would use it all the time in college like oh why are all these people hanging out and they didn't send me an invite interesting that's a little sus a little shady i feel like i find a lot of drama on apps like that in bemo really yeah do you miss the snap you were around when the snapchat was like oh the best friends and stuff they gotta bring that back that was toxic and i loved it is snapchat like the biggest form of communication for you would you say or like what what do you use the most because it's not texting because when i text you don't answer so um it actually is texting but it's not because

i don't answer i don't take it personally i don't answer anyone i'm just not like a big responder to anyone i respond like once every few months no it's fine i'll just cry myself to sleep um no i i feel that but i think i've gotten better as i've gotten older so maybe it'll be the same for you yeah but who knows um i'm also just like an old lady now. But I used to be that way. I still am a little bit like I'll read something and be like in mentally I need to think about how I'm processing this and then respond later. But then like you just forget. Yeah. And then it's like and now it's too late to be weird if I answer, especially if you open it and a notification is gone. It's like I feel like I've already responded yeah I'm like okay bye um well actually I've been going to Jace to communicate to you recently so that's my way of communicating with you um but like what do you do you do you think you scroll TikTok like the most of all the

social media yeah I'm on there like a lot same I guess that's the same what about like I don't know do you go on Netflix a lot Hulu I don't know what's the what's the cool thing I don't know I want to know like what's cool because I feel like Netflix I'm not it anymore and I'm I'm on Netflix you've seen like the videos of like Gen Z judging like people our age that could be like Gen Z could be millennials and like I would be judged harshly as like not cool I think. You think so? Yeah I don't think I'm cool. I think so too. You think that you're not cool?

Yeah. Yeah. No we're not. We're not as cool as you. Yeah. What's cool? What's cool these days? She just the cool things. I just like you probably can't see her pants in the frame but you got on bell bottoms and like is that what's cool now because i'm gonna tell you what i'm still i thought still the baggy jeans was cool am i late am i wrong i'm not up to this i just bought a pair of baggy jeans tell us what's cool no i think the baggy jeans are so

cool i actually bought these like a while ago when the bell bottoms were big and these are the first time i've ever worn them oh so these are like a really last decision yeah i like it um no but what what so tiktok's the biggest social media netflix hulu i don't know what's the thing disney plus i feel like you're not a disney plus i'm a disney plus her she's a big disney yeah that's up for me i think like netflix and hulu i'd have to say okay then i feel fine not too far off right yeah what about like do you do books or like audio books or um books sometimes like it's very hard to finish a book but like i'll pick up different books and like I'll skim them okay what about we used to watch

a lot of YouTube videos together do you still watch a lot of YouTube videos I do I watch YouTube videos like um a lot like almost every day really like podcasts or what um I do watch like true crime podcast or like I watch like haunted videos yeah like Sam and Colby they do like they're doing like a week at the conjuring house like spending the night there and stuff and like they do like you ever do something like that I kind of want to but I feel like I'd be so scared that they have like two parts out already and like they've like caught some stuff and like I kind of believe them I'm like they've caught some scary stuff um or bows she does true crime like um podcasts and streams and stuff she's very like entertaining and she's like very like

informational so I think it's like a really good um speaking of the spooky stuff we were just talking on the way here about our spooky scenarios when we were younger um and how like I think we talked about this on the podcast before but how my mom would like take us on like a scary drive and get out and bang on the windows and scare us i vividly remember it and we're like we're like it was so fun at the time but looking back like should that have been traumatic for us because it was like we were genuinely scared but like we thought it was the most fun thing in the world. Oh it was so fun. I feel like we would beg to go on those car rides. It's kind of a poor memory of mine.

But we've kind of always been into like the spooky stuff a little bit. And I told the story on here you were part of this of the ghost that we caught on the tape recording. I talk about that every day. Oh my god.

See like but like after a scenario like that happens you would still go to like a haunted thing yeah you're what i because like okay because like i feel like i kind of like i literally want to do the same thing again like i want to take a recording box i was literally like watching the video yesterday of sam and colby and i was like they need to take like a voice recording box and set it down in there and just leave it and like just like leave the room yeah because I feel like they would catch they would catch some spooky things because I feel like that's like something that works I mean it definitely worked for us right that was terrifying see I don't know there was was also a time, though. Do you remember like you told me like at your house you were scared and I called you and I was like, I had a dream.

This is so terrifying. Can't believe we even got to this topic. But spooky stuff always comes up. I had a dream that there was a girl that lived in your basement and I like called her and I was like, hey, like, I don't want to scare you but like don't go in your basement and she was like what do you mean and I was like I had a dream there was like a girl in your basement and you were like that's so weird because I'm pretty sure like I felt something weird happening recently stop it and I like was like stop it dude and I was so confused and I'm like well I don't want to see this in my dreams like keep her at your house like but, well, I don't want to see this in my dreams. So, like, keep her at your house. But that's why I wouldn't want to do stuff like that. Because don't you feel like it, like, invites it to your house or something?

Yeah, they actually have, like, waivers there that are, like, spirit attachments. Like, be careful. You could take something home. So, like, you have to, like, really, like, go and protect it and, like, cleanse yourself after. Because, like, that's, like, you can't mess with that stuff. They say that at the haunted mansion in Disney World. They say, like, oh, be careful. There's 99 haunts, but there's always room for more.

Be careful for hitchhiking ghosts. And, like, that's all fun and games. But a waiver? There's no waiver there. I'm not signing that. I don't want to be a part of it i don't even want to go to like haunted houses like around here anymore what about have you looked into or watched it yet because i think i need your so to be fair you take my netflix i need your hulu um login so

but did you watch that mckamey manor documentary watch that it's they just released one and i feel like i need you to watch and tell me if it's like good because i don't know if i want to sit through like the whole thing even watching like scary stuff sometimes i think we talked about this too like i feel like it's inviting like more scary things that happen yeah we just watched um a couple weeks ago we watched like the tex Chainsaw Massacre, like the latest one. I'd say watch lightly for me. I didn't watch though. I was like sitting away from the TV most of the time.

I'm like, what's going on? And I would just judge everyone's reactions to see if it was like scary or not, to see if she could watch. And I was like, that's not fair. You were covering your face for some of it too. I was going through the trauma of it though. It was terrifying. I was. through the trauma of it, though. It was terrifying. I was.

The ending was a jump scare. Like, the ending was not unnecessary if you've seen it. But are you into, like, scary movies? Or are you, like, more, like, documentary, real, like, I don't know. You know what I'm saying. I would say, like, more, like, scary movies. I do documentaries sometimes. But sometimes but like it's very i don't know i'm just like more i do shows more than anything but yeah like the youtube stuff

yeah i don't know how i feel i've been really into documentaries so yeah you have been i know i need to watch that mckamey manor one though it's perfect for spooky season on it really yeah that they make you sign like a shit ton of waivers like your literal life away i'm pretty sure yeah it's pretty traumatizing um yeah but this kind of relates to something that happened this week britney spears book came out her memoir the woman and me um i'm personally not gonna read it because i feel like i already saw everything online about it yeah and which is nuts because we said we were gonna read it when they it was announced that it was coming out within one day everyone everyone knows everything that's happened in the book everything you need to know i'm like okay they run it i guess that

fast like speed readers couldn't be mean right right um yeah no but apparently this was according to her own her own self instagram that her book is the highest selling celebrity memoir in history and it's only day one um i don't know if i believe that well it was not confirmed for sure so i don't know how true it is but like can we just start making shit up like this podcast is the number one podcast in the world right now like currently in this moment right for sure like it'll come true don't look it up obviously don't confirm it but like it's like it is you heard it here first let's just speak that into existence maybe she's just manifesting yeah exactly i exactly. I mean, good for her.

That's crazy. Do you, I feel like that's, like, a new thing, like, manifesting stuff. Do you believe in, like, if you manifest stuff, it can really happen? I think to an extent. I think it's just, like, an energy thing. Like, if you go around, like, with, like if you go around like with like confident energy like more things are to come to you so if like you put out energy you're getting stuff i feel like it can come to you i agree i agree that's kind of how i feel about it but like there's

i think there's people who take it so serious like 25 times in the mirror you have to say like bloody mary bloody mary bloody mary Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary. And then it comes to a beach. Wait, did we ever do Bloody Mary? I never did it. I feel like we always said we were going to do it, but we're always too scared to actually do it. No, because I did it. You did it? Yeah, but I was so young.

At our old babysitter's house. No way. And so we were joking around, and we were saying we're gonna do it and then they just left me in there oh turn the light and but i don't remember like actually seeing anything i think i was just so terrified like of like the moment that was enough for me to never do it again um but yeah i've i've done that it's just like your silhouette you're like oh my god it's following me it's me with this voice that i have now like um yeah no i've done it did we do any like we didn't do ouija board together

did we i don't think so i don't think together no that's good i feel like we probably didn't do Ouija board together. Did we? I don't think so. I don't think together, no. That's good. I feel like we probably scared ourself. I didn't traumatize you as much. We probably scared ourselves too much with it by the time she was old enough to do it. Yeah. No, I feel like you were just such an active child.

Like, I don't know. We weren't really in the house playing Ouija boards. But, okay, speaking of spooky stuff, in the spirit of Halloween, we got some Harry Potter-ish news. So, Daniel Radcliffe is executive producing a documentary on his former stunt double, who was left paralyzed following an incident on the Harry Potter set. And so, they're calling it David Holmes, the boy who lived. And so he was his stunt double for 10 years before this happened to him on the set of Deathly Hallows part one. So now they're putting out this film going to be all

about like his life now, how this incident happened and like completely changed his life but i kind of thought it was like i think it's cool this guy did so much for them behind the scenes and like now they're highlighting his life um it's awesome being changed from literally the his job but it's kind of crazy can you ever imagine being you were kind of a wild child you you love doing like activities just kind of you know there's been some incidents but um would you ever be like a stunt double or do like I don't know that kind of like adrenaline stuff um maybe I think that'd be pretty cool but it's like crazy to see the things that people have

gone through like yeah a whole life-changing event is like that's like scary but it's like it's cool they're highlighting it yeah like showing like what can happen because i feel like stunt doubles don't get attention enough like you don't know any stunt doubles but like you literally like we would have never even known like nobody there was a stunt double for him everyone's been saying it's kind of wild to think that like you even for something like harry potter you need a stunt double i know i'm trying to think through like the first movie like what action sequences there was that would have required a stunt double i don't know if it was like them like flying on the broomsticks or what i don't think so no but yeah i i just crazy to me that no one and we were saying this beforehand too that

nobody knew about this until just now all the comments and all the promotions for it have just been like when did this happen no one knew this happened like there was zero news about this yeah when the movie came out or when they were filming the movie. So I think it's really cool to see that they're highlighting his life and, you know, putting a spotlight on David. Yeah. It's, um,

I would never be a stunt double, but I also never... No, me neither. I never really, I never thought about acting or anything either. I feel like that's like always a question that comes up like, oh, did you ever want to act or anything? I don't, did you ever want to do anything like that?

And that, yeah, I did when I was younger. I wanted to take acting classes and mom was really in on it. She's like, let's go, let's go get acting classes right now um but that was like not something that I was like pursued because it was like a whole thing of like if I did start acting if that was like something that I wanted to do would be like on like the tv or something and yeah so it was like a change in direction and then I started horseback riding but that was it oh yeah you've done you've lived like a thousand lives yeah can we just like talk about that you did what else did you did horseback riding you did that what did you didn't you do gymnastics

or something for a while what'd you do you did some shit i feel like you had a new hobby like you're just trying as many activities and I was like I don't know and then you would be like really good at them all and I'd be like that's annoying why are you so like athletic um I uh I did kind of do gymnastics I wasn't like in classes they did like free like classes for like an hour on the weekends and I did those sometimes um but I like mostly did it like at home oh yeah you would just flip around and crash scooters that was a thing that I thought of when we're talking about stunts and stuff I will never forget the scenario how you were like what five maybe like a little bit older like maybe like six or seven at least because like was I in like

kindergarten or like first grade? Yeah, you had to be. I was in middle school. So you were probably like seven. Yeah, I was at least in first grade. You were probably like seven or eight. You had to be at least seven or eight. Well, anyway, so she's riding around with our papa on like a motorized scooter.

And it front flips. You come in the house with half your face scraped off and I just look at and I start bawling and you weren't even crying and I feel like that was just a common thing you're just like unfazed by everything and I was like bawling my eyes out and I remember mom was like get out of here now because if she sees you crying she's gonna think she needs to start crying and then she started panicking yeah and then i started crying oh it was like the most terrible it scarred me for life from motorized scooters by the way me too literally you yeah that was like the scariest thing i never thought about them being

that dangerous but psa they are dangerous like a stunt in itself yeah the doctor was like if you would like hit your nose it could have went into your brain and i was like oh good to know thank you what the hell they could have left that part out i know right wait because you know what else too do you remember this it was right around halloween so for halloween they wrapped you like a mummy because you already had to like wrap your face oh my gosh I might have the picture of that to be honest there's like a whole photo album it's yeah if I have it I'll put it in the we'll put it in the thing but yeah dang I just remember like I don't know I feel like you were so unfazed growing up like I don't and I was so happy to have a little sister. Oh, my God.

Am I going to get emotional? I'm old. But I don't know. I just felt like we always talked about how I love babies and stuff. So when you were born, I was like, a baby for me. It's mine. But yeah, anyways, we don't have to get emotional. Let's get divisive instead.

So this is kind of random, but we talked a little bit about this before the podcast came on. So this weekend we had to go on like a last minute trip to see some family and we couldn't get like two seats by each other on the way home. And so we were like, it's no big deal. We'll like ask somebody to switch. You guys, we asked three different people. They all said no. And they all said no. And to be honest, like I feel like it could go both ways

because if I was the person that got asked, I probably would say no, but it depends I guess on the situation. Yeah. But it was just every single one of them was like traveling alone. Every single one of them was like traveling alone every single one of them like two out of the three were like young men like our age and like i was just like oh do you care if i sit by my fiance like can we switch and they're like no sorry see if i was traveling alone i feel

like i really don't give a shit like if somebody wanted to move to be like by someone they were traveling with i wouldn't care if i was alone however if they were asking me to move to be in my seat and i was or like picked my seat to be like sitting next to brian on a trip or like if we were traveling i'd be like no we are traveling together but if you're by yourself i feel like dude three uh like three out of three three for three said no yeah like who's it gonna hurt i don't know well it was a middle seat. So we were like, we'll pay you. Which.

And that was the thing, too. Like, they were like, well, I don't want to like. Oh, they don't want a middle seat. One of them said like, well, I paid for the end seat. And it's like, no, you didn't. They all cost the same. Yeah. But like, we also offered them money.

We were like, we'll give you 20 bucks to switch. I would take 20 bucks to get a middle seat. And I was like, what the hell? And you know what? I think Grind My Gear is even more more which it makes it like kind of awkward too because the whole flight i was just like pissed at this person i don't even know i was just like oh yeah because then you had to sit next to him the whole time um but what made me even more mad was like this person didn't get a single snack a single drink didn't go to the bathroom once easily could have been a middle passenger and i had I wanted snacks I wanted drinks I went to the bathroom I was like we could have easily swapped seats sir so yeah it was um it was an interesting thing but I was like I feel like

this is divisive because I could see it both ways like if I was that person right but again if I was alone I would never be like no yeah if I was alone I don would never be like, no. Yeah. If I was alone, I don't really care. Yeah. Like, I don't know. But interesting. I just had to bring that up. Didn't that happen to us when we were going? Where were we going?

Chicago, I think. There was a bunch of us and somebody was trying to switch our seats or like our seats got moved around at the last second. And I was having like I was having a Karen moment. I was like, I swear to God, moment I was like I swear to god if someone makes us move our seats around and not be by each other I'm gonna have a panic attack right now yeah I don't remember but I I feel that way every time I'm like picking seats on a plane like if I'm not gonna be by one person I know I just like I have so much anxiety about it I'm like I need to

be I don't know like I also like to grab whoever's hand that I'm with when we like take off. I have to hold a child, like a little baby child. But anyway. Yeah, I just had to throw some little shade in there before we get into this spooky story. Speaking of planes, I remember when you went to Hawaii and I was like there in the car watching you guys leave to go to Hawaii I think it was like your 16th birthday and um I was so scared of planes just because like what everyone else was saying and like how everyone else was like acting and I just knew like planes are kind of dangerous I was in the car sobbing while you guys took off and I was like no I was

like I hope everyone's okay we were going to our immediate death I was like no no. I was like, I hope everyone's okay. You were like, we were going to our immediate death. I was like, no. That's such a long flight. Oh, my God. That's nice. We have empathy for each other. That's nice to know. Yeah, it is a very long flight.

I will say that. But we made it. Thankfully. And bad. Somehow. Oh, my God. Yeah, I know. all right do i'll have you read the third spooky story we've got a couple so i'll read this first one you take the second i'll take the third i'll take the last one we've got extra because we missed last week and now it's about to be not

spooky season yeah it really flew by this year. So starting with spooky story number one. All my life, I'm 16. I have had supernatural paranormal experiences. I've seen shadow people and heard voices and seen dead people. When I was younger and never understood what was happening before it happened. And again, when I was older, I was sick with COVID and everyone thought it was me hallucinating but I knew I wasn't because I recognized the voice. But it never said anything in particular. It just kind of repeated me. One day I was doing the dishes and asked my mom about

whether or not she had seen ghosts. She said she had experiences but told me about one spooky time involving me. My great uncle died when I was about a year old. He apparently loved me very much. From then until about when I was four, the household was very abusive with my father. He got kicked out and everything went back to normal. My mom was hanging up pictures on the walls and she hung up one of my great uncle and aunt and me as a baby. She asked me if I knew who that was. Once again, he died when I was a year old, so I would have never remembered him. But I said yes. She asked where I knew him from.

Apparently, I said that he checks up on me in the night. She got freaked out but was also comforted. Having someone watching me and make sure I was okay when everything around me wasn't as a kid. That's kind of crazy. That's kind of like what we were talking about. People can visit visit you. In your dreams. In their dreams. Yeah.

In passing. Mm-hmm. That's kind of spooky. I believe it. But also, it's like comforting and spooky at the same time. Yeah, it wasn't like a scary spooky person. It was just a distant relative. Well, not distant relative.

A deceased relative, unfortunately. Right, like not. Visiting just to check up on things. That's wild. Yeah. We've shared some stories like that. But on the spooky scale, I'd say a 7 out of 10. A 6 out of 10?

6 or 7. Yeah, I'd say around there. I think it's more like a comforting thing. Yeah, it's like a nice story. Yeah. I'm not like terrified by that at least they weren't like grabbing your toes or something yeah no none of that no no toe grabbing this is the one you'll read after you can go okay spooky story number two last sunday i was home alone with my dog. I live with my boyfriend but he was out of town for the whole weekend. So it's Sunday morning and I usually do laundry. I was

waiting for a load to finish before adding in a new one. So when I heard the machine finish I left my bedroom to go change the loads. I have to pass my front door to go to the laundry room and remember looking at the door and noticing it was closed as usual. After I changed the load and I go back into my room, the door was fully open, not cracked open, but entirely open. I immediately started to freak out and scream, who's there? I grabbed a knife and slowly walked in, walked room by room to check to see if anyone was in my house, but I couldn't find anyone. My dog was sleeping in my bed the whole time so there was no chance that he opened the door

or that he would have noticed if anyone was there. I then noticed my patio door was fully open too which could have which I could have left open because I had breakfast on the patio earlier but may not have closed it. Either way, I could only come up with one solution. Someone entered my house from the back door thinking it was empty but then noticed I was home and left through the front door. I spent the entire rest of my day in my room with a knife

in case a person would come back again. I still have a creepy feeling that someone may have been in my house and will be changing my locks soon because you never know. I hate that so much that that's an actual scary story that's real life true crime i you gotta get a ring light girl because i like i would need confirmation to not think like i'd be convinced if i was heard that somebody was living there's a basement i would think the person's in the basement. Or like in the shower or something.

Fully living in there just forever now. Yeah. Yeah, I would call the police. Sometimes I get scared that there's somebody living in your basement just because nobody ever goes in the basement too often. Hey, I just cleaned it. I know you did. That's kind of what made me think about it.

And I was watching the dogs. To make you feel better, no one was down there. Well, thank God. Because sometimes I think of just putting a chair in front of the basement door. Because I get nervous. Or we can lock it. Yeah, I guess so. Maybe the lock would work better.

But that's just like, I couldn't deal with this story happening to me. This is easily like a 9 out of 10. It's kind of like it just burned the whole place down. Yeah, forget this house. We'll figure out something else. You'd for sure like be paranoid after that oh i hate that so much like nine out of ten like that's spooky it's so spooky okay um spooky story number three number three all right this one says one day when my daughter, who is now 23, was about three, we lived in an old house that had since been torn down. I told my daughter to come with me. It was time to take a bath. She said, I don't want to take a bath. Little her play for a few minutes while I was in the laundry room or bedroom right outside the door. After that, I never left the bathroom.

And according to her, the little boy never came back. I tried to get more details, but she was three. So she would just say that when she was in the bath, the little boy would come and play with her. She has no memory since she was so young. That's giving me the heebie-jeebies. No, absolutely not. When I have children one day, if they ever come to me and see somebody or say something like that, we're moving. That's your first signal. You got to get out of there because things just get worse from there.

I mean, I guess things stayed okay, but no. We're not taking chances. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's a 10 out of 10. For sure. In an old house, too? Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'm not about it.

Yeah, and it only wasn't there when, like, the mom wasn't there. Yeah, I don't like that. Like, what was it trying to do? That's sneaky stuff. Yeah, that's, like, even more creepy. Ugh. Yeah, I don't like it. Mm-mm, mm-mm. Okay, we're going to do one extra spooky story yay all right

it's a long one it is let's rewind 10 years my cousin matt was always into the goth scene as far as fashion and music as you might have guessed his favorite holiday was halloween and loved watching all the horrors and dressing up trying to scare the high school trick-or-treaters at the time he was a manager at Journeys in the Mall, where he met and would eventually fall in love with Mandy. Em and Em were separable. They got married during the Halloween season and ended up buying a house. The house they and their five cats moved into was an all-brick century home built in 1898.

Definitely gives the creepy vibes, but they said they loved its character. Through the years, they've always had stories of weird things happening happening there was an old rocking chair in the attic that you could hear during the night and the cats would freak out at different times of the day noises voices lights flickering doors shutting etc matt said the one time there was a loud noise in the basement and he was certain someone had broken in so went downstairs with his gun drawn but nothing was there they said they were at the store to buy liquor like five years after owning it and the clerk asked for their id and with a surprised look said you live in that house let's be honest i loved hearing all the eerie stories

but you weren't getting me to go over there f that if it was my house it would have been up for sale the week after buying it but fast forward a few years later and they were ready to sell and move out. The real estate agent took pictures and said multiple times that her hair was raised and felt a presence when no one was around in the house. Even a day after showing the house to buyers, the realtor's SUV got a flat tire and the mechanic told her that there was a nail in the sidewall of the tire. Nails and tires happen, but not in the sidewall of a tire. One of the last moments in the sidewall of a tire one of the last moments of staying at the house my cousin and his wife woke up in the middle of the night from voices in the hallway they mentioned they heard these noises from time to time so they slept with

the doors closed but this time the voices were loud enough to wake them up freaky as fuck they said it was a little girl saying come play with me forever and never and never they were obligated to tell the new buyer that the house was haunted but the buyer laughed it off that same buyer called them months later asking if they heard voices i mean what did they expect every scary movie i've ever seen begins with a young couple moving into an old as fuck house and that's when things go bad and what did they do moved into an old as fuck house 1898 catch me no never never in a house that old that's a good point yep um so they didn't do their research but the fact that they were like oh yeah we can hear

voices but we shut the doors it's fine like yeah i don't i don't care how much i like halloween or spooky stuff if it was like happening in my home consistently you gotta get out of there gotta go that's terrifying would you buy a house if you were like looking and a buyer was like hey by the way we have to let you know it's haunted no i don't know if i'd be intrigued or like i'd be how haunted is it you're them you're these people i wouldn't laugh it off i'd believe it but i'd be like how haunted is it you're them you're these people i wouldn't laugh it off i'd believe it but i'd be like how haunted is it same i think that's where i stand like i would be like oh for real like i believe you i wouldn't laugh it off i would say thank you you have a beautiful home it's not gonna be me that's true um that concludes like spooky season that's crazy but on the patreon
