That was one of the more interesting gifts from the wonderful crowd that we just performed in front of in Humboldt County was someone... Herpes. Yes. But it was just a herpes of the thought. and that is what I have currently
Starting point is 00:01:29 but someone brought us little vials filled with the ground up bricks from the factory from the silver shamrock silver shamrock factory that they filmed it right around where we were in Redway California
Starting point is 00:01:45 Halloween 3 the actual novelty factory in that film when it broke down these guys like a lot of our lists are some of the coolest fucking dudes in the world they decided that they wanted to go and make little monuments out of what was left of that factory.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Yeah, so they went and they smashed up the brick and they put it in the little vials for us. And so now we got a little bit of the Halloween 3 factory. So fucking cool. Yeah, I love it. I'm going to, I'm going to, I told Julie and then I don't even know if she had a response. No. Like it was like just blank, just like, when can I start talking about what we need to do? Sure.

Aren't you happy about the dabs? And then she's like, the backyard needs work. If you could go move these rocks.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Yeah, I'm right there, fucking man. I'm moving rocks. You're myself, man. Welcome to side stories. I'm Henry Zabrowski. I'm here with the extremely spooky Ed Larson. Booganyboo! Ah!
Starting point is 00:02:51 Bugitaboo! Boogie to boo! Yes. We had a great time and humbled. That is a spooky place, though. You know, spooky, slash, is it the place that's spooky or is it the people? But it's one of... It's like, oh, it's always misty. I love it. You drive through all the redwoods and you see all the mist, and they talk...
Starting point is 00:03:10 We were in, like, this incredible house with all of these sweet, sweet weed fathers. And they were explained to us by how the mist has to move in certain ways. And that's how they catch certain pockets of moisture for their very special, very, very, very special nuggets. And you're just like, damn, man. Are y'all ants? But when it comes down to it, we didn't meet some ants and you just don't want to know who they voted for. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Enst is Christ.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Yes. But thank you. Special shout out to Huckleberry Hill Farms with John and Savage Farms, Jerry, and Canna Country, Teddy. You guys hooked us up. We love you so much. Can't wait to come back and party with you and just like find your bullshit in these other California weed stores and buy the fucking shit out of it. People need to go to Humboldt directly and buy weed.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Yeah, it's honestly, it is like, it's Solvang, it's Napa for wheat. It's amazing. It's so good. Yes. I love that place. And guess what it was perfect for? What? To help me with the pulled muscle I currently have in my back because I wanted to do the funny bit of sucking my own dick on stage.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Hey, spoiler alert. Yep. And I now can barely move. Yeah. So thank you to that weed for me being present today. We have to have your penis elongated or your lips elongated. One of the others. Oh, we can actually get there.
Starting point is 00:04:33 The penis? Yeah. You don't want to get protruding lips? I don't think there's a lot of give. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I feel like with my penis, we could find some. What if you, all right, what if you sucked on a flashlight and then fucked yourself with that?
Starting point is 00:04:48 Whoa. Me, I'm making a prolapse? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So prolapse a flashlight with my mouth. deep throating the back of a fleshlight, and then you're taking the front of it, and you're fucking yourself with that. How's this helping my back?
Starting point is 00:05:01 This is what, you know, when it comes down to it, I don't know how it's going to help my back. I think it's for future performances. Let's try it. Let's try it. But this is what I do for you. Oh, man. This is what I do for you, and I'm out here, but now I'm dressed like, for those of you can't see the show, I'm dressed like a chili pepper. Yes. Because it's our Halloween episode. I'm beer. Eddie's a glass of beer. I'm a glass of beer.
Starting point is 00:05:21 And that's the most frightening thing to him because he can't have complex carbs anymore. Well, I can have them. I just, you know, get sick. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And me, same thing. This is scary for me. Asana. Because acid reflux. Yeah, yeah. So as I'm a pepper, this is actually one of the scariest entities I could be to myself. Yeah, yeah. Look, face your fears, folks. Face your fears. Face your beers. Drink your peppers. Yeah, face your beers. Beat the shit out of a Nazi, like that guy in Athens, Georgia that was walking around in an SS uniform. You guys got like- They didn't beat him up. He let him up. He had a woman. Guys, you guys led him off too early.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Too easy. You guys should have been beaten the living shit out of him. You have to the second you even saw him, all right? Remember that, all right? This season, this Halloween season, this Friday night, if you see a single person in SS uniform, you have Henry Zabrowski's permission to paralyze them. Wow. Yep, you can absolutely attack them. So you go and you get them if you could.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Man, imagine, like, because it was like, I mean, it's kind of hard to say, but it was a really nice SS uniform. It was classy. It reminded me. It was like he spent some coin on that fucking thing. And that means get his blood on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it had to have been at least like, I mean, full
Starting point is 00:06:36 everything. It looks like Hugo Boss. What's his name? He's like, I want to know he has a, I want to read his name. Yes, what is his name? Okay. Kenneth Leland Morgan. Don't hire him. Yeah, Kenneth Leland Morgan is a Nazi. Beat the fucking shit out of him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go get him.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Thank you. And I got to say the people in Cutter's pub in Athens, step up your bullshit. Yep. You've got to beat the shit out of these guys. But that's not the only spooky stuff we're covering today. Oh, I feel like we're moving past something that needs to be talked about. Please. Henry, we dressed up for the Humboldt show.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Yes. Henry was plus size Edward Scissor hands. Yes, I was. And it was kind of the greatest thing I ever saw. I just feel your clothes were just. slowly coming on. I had to redress Henry on stage multiple times. It's disgusting.
Starting point is 00:07:28 It was filled with my sweat. It was absolutely, like literally I had to empty out my shoes. Oh. That's how my, they liquid poured out of my shoes. God, how did you sweat that much? It's because it was pure pleather. I got a good one. I got a good plus size
Starting point is 00:07:43 Edward Cisorhands costume. It was nice. I went to Halloween costumes.com. Wow. They're friends of the show. They are. They sent me a free Teen Wolf outfit. Thank you, by the way. I paid full price. I did not. But I wanted to experience it. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:57 But I bought a very fancy plus size Edward Cisorhands costume, which is funny as it is. Just that sentence cracks me up. And so I was like, oh, I'm locked in. I bought this. And guess what? It made it difficult to perform that also was the bit. Yeah, you couldn't hold the microphone.
Starting point is 00:08:12 You were destroying your beers with your scissors hands. It was a blast. It was a blast. We got to go. his underwear fell down inside of the pants. That's common. Yeah. It also happened to me entering the upcoming Hoopagugu season two.
Starting point is 00:08:30 HGX2. That a lot of my performance in that as well involves my underwear falling down inside of the thing that I'm wearing. We'll see if it makes the cut. We'll see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because to be honest, it happens to be a lot. Yeah, I said that Henry looks like Edward Scissor Hands played by Johnny Bucca de Depo. Very funny.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Bucca de Depo. Very, very good. Guys, I want to know. Side Stories, L-P-O-T-L at gmail.com. Does anybody else, because I really feel like I'm the only person that deals with this on a regular basis of my underwear falling down within my pants? Yeah, that is something that, that is a you problem. I have never met anybody else. This has happened multiple times.
Starting point is 00:09:10 I'd say it's happened at least 12 times since I've known you. You're losing weight, maybe. It happens when I'm fatter, too. It happens at every size. Rob tried. I'm trying. Seriously. No, Rob, because I thought, I literally thought, oh, when I lose weight, the problem will stop. And it doesn't ever. No matter what size I am, my pants be falling down. Do they make suspenders for underwear? Did Natalie say it's starting to give me permission for that? I'm going to start top sticking them. I think you could look good in suspenders. Well, this is the issue is that I need to figure out this transitional period before I become Stanton Friedman, the uphologist.
Starting point is 00:09:47 before, I have to find that. How many pieces of flare are you going to put on your suspenders? I mean, mostly just going to be a lot of really questionable looking runes. Oh, are this good non-folly down underpants? I'm trying. Don't do this, Rob. I'm looking. I'm looking. What could
Starting point is 00:10:05 possibly be any different than the underwear I'm currently wearing? I'm wearing Tommy Jobs. My quince underwear stays up. I'll tell you that much. That's a good plug. That's a great plug. You're also differently shaped. I am. I am.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Slide stories L-P-O-T-L-G-L-G-Mel.com. If you could, please help me because it's just been so hard on my family, and it's going to be extremely hard when we have to form individual militias. And you think you can't, like, tuck it into your folds? The folds are what's pushing them. And also the fold just sucks it up. Okay, the other issue is that when I do put it under my belly, is that this is true, this is great radio.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Yeah. Is that my body begins to eat my underwear from up. So then it's- Do you give yourself a wedge? And my balls become all bunched up. Man, so even your body thinks you're a nerd. I don't, I am cooler than this. All right, I'm cooler than this.
Starting point is 00:10:57 I work hard. There has to be a reason. There has to be a fix. Side Stories, L-P-O-T-L at gmail.com. If I have to meet with an engineer, if you're an engineer in the clothing industry, and you want to work with me, side stories, L-P-O-T-L at gmail.com, To make a stand-in-up underwear for the egg-shaped man. I know that there are other men like me out here.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Maybe a woman. There's probably all-woman whose panties slide down inside of her fucking skirt, but I haven't seen that yet. And you have that side store is L-P-O-T-L at g-mail.com and send proof. Someone has to help, Henry. You're going to have to see them, you know, if you're doing this, because you're going to get in there. We're going to have to try out different underwear.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Oh, yeah. No, you're going to have, no, I need a trusted advisor. Yeah. I need someone who builds bridges. You know what I mean? Yeah. I need someone who builds medical gear. No, Rob.
Starting point is 00:11:56 These are disgusting. I can see you going to bikini briefs. My father wore bikini briefs. A jockstrap. That's what you need. Just a strap. I am not a successful homosexual man in Berkeley, California. I don't want to wear jeans and say, jockey.
Starting point is 00:12:10 That's somebody who rides something. Yeah. And I don't need to do it. Wow, look at the gutters on that phone. No, I know. This guy's got the... You think that looks like that on everybody? You think that the Jackie's fucking man-thogs?
Starting point is 00:12:21 He is pushing his penis inside of himself. He looks like he's in an American apparel ad. God, how much pubic care do they have in this ad? Because it's the show he's a man. Wow. It's a show he's a legitimate man. That's crazy. That's like a wean cover.
Starting point is 00:12:34 It does look like... It looks like a Serge Gainsborg. Liner notes. I hate... Jockey. This is what the guys are. in Guarware. Oh, I bet. Oh, hey, Rob got killed by Groh. Rob got murdered by Guar this weekend. That's right. He didn't come smoke
Starting point is 00:12:53 weed with us so he can get killed by Guar. And how was it? It was really fun. Yeah. It was really fun. So what happened? Explain the experience. Did you have like a bunch? Did they give you like a blood packet? No. So they're like, all right, listen, you just got to go with the flow. We're going to take you out there. We're going to slit your throat. We got some blood bags. We're going to pop them. Just don't fall down. All right. Don't fall down. That was it. Yeah. And then all of a sudden I was out there with the fucking lights on me and they were slit in my throat and man, I can cross that off the list.
Starting point is 00:13:20 I didn't even know that was on the list, but that is now on the list for me. I want to be killed by Gwar so bad. It's interesting they say don't fall down. I imagine some guys like just stay there the whole time because they think it's funny. I do think that that is what happens if you fall down that everyone, you've got to figure out how to deal with you. Yeah. Hold for one second.
Starting point is 00:13:37 You got some schmutz on your mustache there. And it's gone. Good job. It's gone. You got it. You can stop licking your lips. All right. Just keep doing it. It was liquid shit. Are you enjoying the jockey? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Bye from your grade. Let's get, it's a reason for the season, Eddie. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Spooky time, man. We wanted to spend today trying to get a little bit spooky. Because obviously, right now on last podcast and left, we are fucking locked in.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Yeah. To this never-ending March to the end. end of World War II. It is coming. This is the last episode. We've already said it's the last episode. Even if it doesn't matter. Like, if it's not the last episode, it's the last episode. We're going to do the last episode. This is it. You're squeezing in the entire war.
Starting point is 00:14:27 In this episode. The Nazis ruined Halloween this year. They took one more thing from us. And we didn't even know they were taking it until Halloween was over. And they got to keep it somehow. We had a bit of a schedule. Because we had a bit of a schedule, push up along the way. And this is
Starting point is 00:14:41 where we're at. But we wanted to bring some spooky. It does look like a pumpkin kind of. He does. I could say he looks like. You look like Iqabod Crane. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But less Jewish. Well, of course. Is there, Iqabod Crane was Jewish? I don't think so. I thought he changed it from Krononskirsk.
Starting point is 00:14:56 I don't think Iqabod Crane was Jewish because he was like pilgrim times. I don't know how many Jews we had back then. I think we had like four. Yeah. The traitors. What does it say? No, Akabod Crane is not Jewish. Of course he's not. Yeah, it's too early for Jews.
Starting point is 00:15:10 I was just having fun. It was also fictional. Yeah, yeah, you know, you can make anybody Jewish. You can make anybody black, too, right? Come on, my grain was black. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. I remember when he was black. Yeah, sure, right?
Starting point is 00:15:19 That could be fun. Yeah. Now, this is, but we wanted to get spooky. When he goes, with the Nazi series, like, yes, the Einstein's grouping, they're pretty, like, it's chilling and nauseating, but it doesn't give you creepy chain noises vibes. No, no, no, it's just brutal and upsetting. Yeah, that's the whole thing, because everybody is upset, right? Like, when I'm...
Starting point is 00:15:40 I feel like this happens every October. Well, because you know what it is, is that the audience, someone. Sometimes they do want paranormal, but they don't really like paranormal. But this time, we're going to see how it goes. So we're going to be covering up some other stuff later on. But today, I think we have some stories we wanted to share. And I don't know whether or not we want to start with your stories, Eddie. Yeah, well, you know, I guess we could.
Starting point is 00:16:03 It's just, you know, I have, like, weird things that have happened to me. I find it funny because I don't know if the audience completely knows. Because we did this in the very, very long time ago. It was like the fifth episode of last podcast. I came and told some stories. Yes. And so it's been a really long time. Do you remember that, Rob?
Starting point is 00:16:22 No, right? Yeah, I don't even think it's available. No, I don't think so. I don't think so. I think it's like in the lost, like last podcast time. Yeah, it's locked up. Yeah. So, but these stories, so we're going to read some of the stories you guys sent in,
Starting point is 00:16:36 but Eddie's never really went through in detail what he went through on this show. And I thought this would be a really good. Might as well. This is a good time. We've never really done it. We've never expressed these before. So I've had like five separate experiences that I can't explain. And you've never, you don't believe in ghosts technically.
Starting point is 00:16:58 I think it's stupid. But I can't explain this shit. And so there's that too. I mean, if someone could show me a point where it's like, yeah, you saw ghosts or whatever, I'd believe it. You know, like if someone could prove it to me. But I don't think there is any proof. personally, I think that when we die, we become dirt. Cool.
Starting point is 00:17:15 I think we're trash. I think our body becomes trash and we throw out our trash. I don't think there's anything romantic about it. I think her body, you know, people are like get upset. I personally, you want to fuck my dead body? As long as Julie's cool with it. I mean, technically it's hers. Once you die, it's your spouse's body, I guess.
Starting point is 00:17:31 I think so she can fuck it. Yeah, she can fuck it. She can give it away. Yeah, she can do whatever she wants to it. Side source, L-P-O-T-L-G-Mel.com. We're going to put in one of those applications for Ed's dead body. Yeah, because Julie's obviously outliving me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Yeah, I don't think there's any question about that. Yeah, it's just about whether or not she wants your body to go on tour or not for work. Yeah, well, I do, my first thing I want to do is give my body to the bodies exhibit. Oh, that'd be awesome. I think that's like where you need me. Just you, with all of your skin off with the blunt in your mouth, with the record player next to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and a microphone in front of my face. Just big fat body.
Starting point is 00:18:04 American podcast. Yeah, yeah. Yes. I think that would be great. I want you to be, I want it to cost $60 to come pay your. fucking, you know, you're dues to me. Look at his balls. Wow, did they add
Starting point is 00:18:17 into these balls? The people running it come by, you're like, no. No, he's our finest specimen. Yes. But let's, now, before we start today, I don't know where to start, though. Well, let's first say, let's get into a spooky mood.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Okay. So let's say you're at work right now. Go shut off all the lights. All right. Yeah. Everybody's working. Fuck with your work. Fuck with your job. these bitches. Yeah, take all the food out of the fridge and let it start rotting. So there's a stinky smell. Like the gray.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Yeah, yeah. Hide it. Go into the bathroom. If you hide a bunch of meat under the fridge, no one's going to find that. You want to know a fun trickster trick? Okay. Open up a tuna can. Oh.
Starting point is 00:19:00 And leave that under something. Wow. Because then it just goes, goes and goes. Go on your boss is shitting. Bang on the doors while he's shit and say, it's a ghost in here there's a ghost Yeah I know
Starting point is 00:19:13 Do that Oh no it's really good Take all your shoes off So it's bare feet That I don't really freak them out The only thing you see Is bare feet Yeah and you go
Starting point is 00:19:19 There's a ghost in here Mr. Sanderson Oh yeah Use an accent too Yeah So they don't know Those I go to Sondiard Oh
Starting point is 00:19:25 That's a ghost out of Mr. Johnson Oh Mr. Sanderson Come on go and you fucking This is This is the time So you're gonna get spooky And then
Starting point is 00:19:35 You know what's also super spooky Paint your feet gray Yes And You fucking smoke A bunch of your like stuff out of a light bulb, right? And then put your hand, a crack
Starting point is 00:19:44 over a flashlight, yeah. And look at all your bones through your hand. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but make sure that you're not sticking the light bulb into your hand. No, because that's going to hurt, you're going to bleed, all right? So mix all that together and smoke some weed. And you're just about to get nervous enough
Starting point is 00:20:00 to be scared by Ed's story. I think you should start from the first story. From the first story, all right, so set the scene. All right. Lyndon, New Jersey, which is a town right next to Elizabeth. It's an old town. It's been around forever. The houses, you know, they're all like those two-story houses with like the, you know, the cold room and stuff like that. And so this house we always knew was fucked up. My aunt Patty always saw shit. My mom always kind of saw stuff. My grandmother always kind of saw stuff.
Starting point is 00:20:35 And I don't know if the audience doesn't have Italian-American family. We're Polish-Ukrainian. But they don't have any Italian in them? We have no Italian. Because we have the Sicilian witches in our family. Oh, okay. Because my mom is like, she's put mashed together her own sort of proprietary version of Catholicism that also features witchcraft. Yeah, I think the Northeast just kind of has it.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Yeah. You know, it's so old and so many people have just been murdered and there's so many other different problems up there. And they've all been molested. Every woman, our mother's age, got fucking tossed back and forth between every single authority figure they ever knew. Yeah, don't bring it. up because if they don't remember, they're almost dead. You know, let them just die and not remember. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:14 But anyway, so. But so Lyndon, New Jersey, they had this, like, tall, it was like a three-story, like, four-bedroom house. And there's a lot of, like, gangsters around there, a lot of Italian mafia, a lot of, you know, stuff like that. The old school gangsts. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And there was, in their house, there was always, like, weird.
Starting point is 00:21:39 shit would happen. They would send me up there. I used to summer in Elizabeth, as I used to say. And my parents would send me up there for three weeks so they can go have fun down down in Florida and stuff like that. But they had one of those things that was like a, you know, you press the button, the intercom, and you can talk to everyone in the house. And I'd be alone in this house. Also at like six, you know, they just leave me alone. Yeah, yeah. It's old school. It was back of the day, our parents didn't really care as much about kids as they do now. Yeah, no, it's weird. But occasionally, you would just hear like breathing
Starting point is 00:22:11 sure through the through the thing and that would always be really freaky and that wasn't just you snoring while you were awake no no this is a child I don't think I snored yet you know it was one of those and so I was just like you would always hear breathing through there and that was always really weird and then my
Starting point is 00:22:27 aunt would say you know there's somebody in the middle room and I thought she was just fucking with me you know because the middle room is where I used to sleep yeah yeah and it's like your aunt who's torturing you. Yes. So lots of times we like there was lots of different like ghosts in the house and I don't know like how much of this was my family or not, but several times it would feel like I was being held down in that bed in the middle room. Like it would just feel like somebody was holding me down and I couldn't get up. And so to the point where that room scared the hell out of me so much that I used to sleep in my cousin's bed all the time. And like my cousin Christie, she was super cool and she was like she understood that it was like creepy in there. But The thing is, they had like a loft area, and then next to the loft area was like an attic area.
Starting point is 00:23:15 And then in the attic area, occasionally, like, inside the attic, the light would just come on. Oh, God. And it was just like, the light would just come on, and then we'd open it, and then we'd turn it off. And then, like, we'd wake up in the middle of the night and the light would be on again and stuff like that. And, but also, I have to say, my uncle and aunt enjoy fucking with you. This does sound like they do like this. They do. So I think some of it is them fucking with us.
Starting point is 00:23:42 And like, but a lot of it was not explained. And eventually my aunt had a medium come through the house and she's like, this place is fucked. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if they're in New Jersey, obviously, most of the time, they're an extra large. Yeah. So I didn't actually ever see or hear this, but my cousins would talk about how they would hear little kids sometimes in that attic.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Like, and then, exactly, like fun to play with little kids and shit. and I never heard this but we talked about it a bunch and stuff like that time goes on and there's always lots of unanswer questions and eventually my uncle who is blind, deaf, mentally challenged
Starting point is 00:24:22 he moves into that middle room because he needs somewhere to stay for a while and occasionally I would go over there and he would just be screaming and we would be like, oh Uncle Eddie like ah! yeah and we would just be like oh he's just screaming and stuff but then after the medium
Starting point is 00:24:42 came they were like that room's haunted and so we're like oh okay so maybe uncle Eddie was being tortured and we have no idea blind deafness yeah yeah yeah to be tortured by ghosts all to fucking day long I mean I don't mean to laugh no no I mean you can laugh it's a comedy podcast um but yeah and so that middle room was like really fucked up and then eventually my mom went and stayed up there and stayed in the middle room and she was like it was the middle of the night and she went to go like to the kitchen downstairs to get a glass of water and something pushed her down the stairs yes she says this this is i remember your mom talking about being physically attacked yeah by this ghost she she knows i mean she's like i i've fallen before i was pushed
Starting point is 00:25:29 and she fell down the stairs she broke her nose she sprained her wrist and all that shit it was pretty bad, you know, bad things happened, you know, but it turns out once the media came into that place, we found out that he was hiding something in that middle room. And the man's name was Vito, and he had run into
Starting point is 00:25:48 problems with the mafia. Oh, yeah. That's kind of the ideas of people going in there. He's trying to have this idea that it's, they're trying to chase people out of the room. But what they claimed was and that Vito and his children were killed by the mafia because he was like stealing money.
Starting point is 00:26:04 cool and so of course you know they try to like find stuff but there was nothing to find i think that he was keeping something safe that wasn't there anymore that's like one of those two things that i've always been wondering about is if they're why do i never really hear about mafioso ghosts and why do i never hear about nazi ghosts because that's like one of those things i never understood about berlin maybe they went to hell i mean but if there is a hell i i find it very interesting that they took all of these old school Nazi offices in Berlin and places where people were tortured and investigated and all this kind of shit and turned them into like kindergartens and like hallmark stores and pharmacy.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Like they just retroactively turned them into other things. Our concentration camps said to be haunted? I don't know. I know that the Grey Kirk's, the Greyfriar, the Greyfriar Cemetery in Edinburgh also was an outdoor concentration camp, and that's wildly haunted. Well, that makes sense to me, because I always felt like cemeteries aren't haunted.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Yeah, I feel like that's where people go to rest. Yeah, they're dead somewhere else. If anywhere, the hospital's haunted. If you die at the cemetery, you'd haunt the cemetery. Yeah. So that's like the beginning layer of all this, right? Yeah, it's like the backstory of this particular story, you know? And then, so years past, my aunt moves out of the house,
Starting point is 00:27:29 they moved down to Tom's River, you know, and like my cousin had a child up there and stuff like that and they moved out when she was three and you know fast forward it's like three years after that the kids like six now we've never told the stories to the child you know and we're all out to lunch at TGI Fridays one day and we're talking about the house and whatnot and then my little cousin was like I missed the children that I used to play with there and we're like what are you talking about and she's like the kids that lived upstairs. I missed them. They were so much fun. We used to play together.
Starting point is 00:28:04 This is like a six-year-old. I am. Talk to us. Shut the fuck up. Yeah. We're like, what do you mean? What kids did you play with? And she's like, there was a boy and a girl. And we played with, we used to play all the time. And they were so nice. And we were both, we were all just like, frozen. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And so, like, that was like, I didn't believe any of it until that moment. Because I thought, like, my mom fell. I thought that my uncle was crazy. I thought that I, like, was making shit up in my head because I was a child.
Starting point is 00:28:31 And your mom and I, your mom and my mom's very similar in terms of the fact they're a bit of a, what you'd call it, an exaggerator at times. At times, they're a bit of a storyteller at times. But there's something about that. The way your mom always told that story was always like genuinely frightened. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:28:46 it was fucking terrifying. So that's the, that's like, that's the Jersey stuff, but we had a lot of Florida things happened to us as well. Your, there's one story that you've told that is legitimately one of the most frightening stories. Besides the
Starting point is 00:29:02 you have told the story about the mysterious call before. I did that on stage. I'll tell that right now. Yes. So this is the last part of the Jersey thing, I guess. So my mom dies July 19th, 2016, and her twin brother, Uncle Eddie, who I was talking about earlier,
Starting point is 00:29:18 he died on July 19th, 2019. Same day as my mom, random. It was too hot and he overheated that didn't have air conditioning. and he kind of died in his sleep. They weren't well off. But the thing that makes this so weird,
Starting point is 00:29:34 other than the fact that they were twins and died on the same day three years apart, which is already fucking weird, my Aunt Patty gets a phone call and she looks at her cell phone and it says that my mom is calling her. My mom's been dead for three years. And it's the date that my mom died.
Starting point is 00:29:54 You know, it's all very weird. So she gets a call. She looks in the, The ID says my mom. She picks up the phone and it's the fucking morgue telling her that her fucking brother is in the morgue. That's just so fucking scary. It's so strange. And it's just so weird.
Starting point is 00:30:12 I'm sure it's like some fucking weird glitch on the phone or whatever. But like that's a wild glitch, man. It is a very wild glitch. Yes. Yeah. But that's kind of like in the, when people talk about the subtleness of paranormal experiences. I feel like that's really such an important moment because it is like that. Because, like, yes, kind of like the breathing through the intercoms and lights.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Because there's a little bit of maybe I'm just, maybe it's electrical. Maybe it's just something. Yeah. But that is so fucking pointed. Yeah. Why would the number, the number already belonged to a different person? It's weird, man. They lived, they lived like counties away, you know, like it's so, it's like, that was just so bizarre that that all shook down,
Starting point is 00:30:58 that makes me one chilled out chili pepper so there was a full of seeds there was another time in florida that we were leaving a a boy scout event and my catholic school was right next to a graveyard we used to literally like watch people get buried during class so much fun and so it was just so ridiculous did you that freak you out as a kid or did you think it was kind of fun i i thought i found it to be kind of fun Yeah. To be honest with you. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:29 I used to go look at them to dig graves. Yeah, I was never freaked out by cemeteries. No, not once. It kind of made me sad, but like never, like, I was never freaked out. Well, for a while, I did get in the thing. You know, you get very superstitious as a kid. I got hit all the time, the idea of like holding your breath as you get, as you drive past a cemetery. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:31:48 You ever heard that? I have heard it, but I've never done it or anything. As a kid, now, now apparently I was diagnosed with OCD, but that made me frightened. And I used to do it religiously. Yeah. The same thing with like the mirrors with, with Bloody Mary. I kept like assuming. Oh, that used to scare me.
Starting point is 00:32:04 But I just assumed I'd do it against my will. Oh, yeah. But you know, it is your will. Yep. And it's not real. So we're leaving Cub Scouts one night. And my dad's driving. My mom's in the front seat.
Starting point is 00:32:15 I'm in the backseat. And we're leaving and we see this like, we're going past the cemetery. And me and my mom, we see this like shadowy blue figure in the middle of the road. And we're like, hey, my mom's like, Jerry, there's someone on the road. And then he's like, what are you talking about? There's no one in the road. And then I'm like, dad, there's someone in the road. You know, my mom's like, there's someone in the road.
Starting point is 00:32:36 Stop the car. So you remember, we're like, stop, stop, stop. And he drives through this blue figure. Woo! And he, like, drives, like, through it. And he sees nothing. And me and my mom are like, what the fuck? You just hit somebody.
Starting point is 00:32:46 We stop. We get out. We look around. There's nothing there. It doesn't make any sense. There's no one there. Me and my mom just saw it. My dad's like, you're all fucking idiots.
Starting point is 00:32:55 we get in the car and then all of a sudden once we get in the car all of the locks in the car start going up and down like a spasm like just start going crazy and like a spasm like crazy shit this just real guys yeah this story is real yeah the story's real the story's real so that was when i was a child fast forward uh eight years from that i'm driving on that same road with my buddy tim tim Dean, and I'm driving with him, and we're, we got some other guys in the back, same road, all of a sudden, Tim's
Starting point is 00:33:32 like, Ed, stop, you're going to hit somebody. Stop, stop, stop, you're going to hit somebody. There's a guy in the road. There's a guy in the road. I'm like, there's no one fucking here. And then I drive through the guy supposedly to Tim, and then he's like, you fucking hit someone, you fucking hit someone. And then the locks on my doors start going up and down
Starting point is 00:33:48 like crazy. In the same exact spot. Man, what the fuck? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's still saying, go ain't real. Yeah, he doesn't make any sense. He still hates ghosts. He tells the ghosts are a waste of time. These are the best ghost stories we've all heard.
Starting point is 00:34:04 There's better than all the ghost stories. You guys sent me. He doesn't believe in ghosts. Well, so that happened. And then apparently my neighborhood that I lived in, Mission Bay, it's in West Boker Raton. we had a lot of weird things happening at that house, but I always kind of
Starting point is 00:34:27 wrote it off, you know, because it was a new house. Like, my parents built it from the ground up. Oh, so you figure maybe it's settling, or there's stuff going on, or it's been made kind of maybe vaguely cheaply. You don't think a brand new house is haunted. No, you wouldn't. You know, because you would think that something has to die there for there to be something. No, we were joking last out. We were
Starting point is 00:34:43 watching one of our, like, our calm down shows. Yeah. And so we were watching it's called Scariest Houses in America. It's on Discovery Plus, whatever. And what it is is people submitting their home to this, this reality show, and then this host, she's very sweet that, like, goes through what decides which is the scariest homes. And the one that won was this, a spoiler. It was this home, like, it was built over a cemetery road, and the backyard was a cemetery. Oh, wow. And we
Starting point is 00:35:12 were just joking about the lady, because she, this lady that was designing it all was obviously not remotely the right person to be retrofitting a graveyard home, like a cemetery. I, I have, like, house. Yeah. And so she's all like, and so we could put this to hide the gravestones, and we can put this to hide the gravestones. And then we were joking about how, like, they made out this out of area for the kids to play,
Starting point is 00:35:34 and there's the idea for me, like, and so I just moved all those pesky gravestones. We don't need to worry about those gravestons. You don't know, like that idea of, you could see someone building it on haunted land. Yeah. Because that's the polter guide story. Well, that's what it seemed like we had heard.
Starting point is 00:35:49 But I, like, we related to get tortured for a while first. kind of in the house before we started talking to our neighbors and realized that they were all going through the same fucking thing. Things that would happen to me was like things would go missing and then would just appear like in the middle of the desk, you know, like they would just appear like right in front of you in front of every, you know, it would go missing for weeks and then it just be like in the middle of the counter, you know, it'd be like weird shit, you know? I mean, that I know. That I've had, I've experienced that activity. Yeah. And so I remember one time I was in my room.
Starting point is 00:36:24 It was right before me and my buddies. We were about to go see Independence Day in the theater. And we're all hanging out at the house. And they're playing like Doom or some shit in the computer room. And I'm in my room listening to music really loud. And a book falls off of the speaker. And I'm like, oh, I'm listening to my music too loud. You know, the speaker knocked the book off, whatever.
Starting point is 00:36:46 And then I look back and I put a book back on the speaker, and I look back and the book's back on the middle of the ground. I was like, oh, that's weird. And then I fucking, and then I... What was the book? You're going to hate me when I tell you what the book was. JFK assassination. Ha ha ha!
Starting point is 00:37:04 Yes! But then I saw the book for the third time. I actually saw it like go to the ground and it didn't fall normal. It like fell like slanted and kind of slow. And it was then it was like open to a page. And so I was scared I was closed the book, threw it in the trash Didn't read nothing
Starting point is 00:37:28 Because I've always been like this I was like that And then from this moment all I read the goddamn book ever again Evil Yeah exactly And so I threw it in the trash And I'm like we're going to the movies now
Starting point is 00:37:39 And I told the guys I was like we're just gonna go early And then we laughed And we went to the movies Later that night my buddy Corey slept over And we're sitting there And we're going from
Starting point is 00:37:48 We had this like tradition Where we would like Seal my parents liquor Get fucked up up in my bedroom and then in the next room was two twin beds so we would like get trashed and then we'd walk over to the next room and go to sleep whenever we were like passed out enough to go to sleep and so but like this night the same I think it was the same night or it was like the same week we were going to the next room and then right at the end of the hallway is like my dad's lazy
Starting point is 00:38:12 boy chair and we see like a man sitting in the chair in the darkness and it's like that same thing I was talking about before, like a blue shadowy figure. And we're just like, my dad, I was like, hey, dad, what's up? We're going to bed, you know, and no answer. And the figure's just like sitting there. And then my buddy Corey is like, all right, hi, Jerry, like that. And the figure doesn't move that you can't see what it is. It's in complete darkness.
Starting point is 00:38:41 If it was my father, he was just sitting in the chair with no television on staring at us. And so, but like, you couldn't see any, like, distinct. facial features or anything like that. But there was obviously somebody in the chair. Yeah. And so we eventually went, we just like, okay, we're going to pretend like this isn't happening. And then we just went into the other room and then the door shut behind us.
Starting point is 00:39:05 And that was just fucking weird. That's just so fucking crazy. Another time at this house. Another experience I had at this house was I'm sitting there. I'm on the phone with my buddy Goldstein. And we, you know, we would prank each other a lot, you know, stuff like that. We were, you know, yucksters and shit like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:23 And so I'm on the phone with him. And then there's like, all of a sudden while I'm talking to him, there was an aggressive, like, my front door just started shaking aggressively. And I was like, you hear? And he's like, nah. And then I opened a door. Ain't no one there. We had a screen door and everything. So the screen door, if someone did like, you know, like.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Knock on the door. They had to open up the screen door. And the screen door shut slowly. The screen door was shut. When I opened it, I was like, you messing with me, man. And he's like, no, I was like, oh, well, stay on the phone with me. I don't know if someone's like, fuck with me at my house, you know, so I'm walking with them.
Starting point is 00:39:56 And then I walk to my back door to kind of look out there and I got these sliding glass doors and I'm talking. I'm like, you fucking with me, man. And then he's like, no, I don't know. I'm like, stay on the phone with me, you know, just in case like someone's coming for me or something. And then I go and I'm like, go to my back doors, which are just like giant glass doors, you know, sliding glass doors.
Starting point is 00:40:16 You can see through them. And all of a sudden, they started shaking. and then I was just like, what the fuck? And then so I'm like, all right, I don't like this. So I leave the house, you know, and I go over to my buddy Johnny's house who lives down the street. I was like, I'm like, yo, some weird shit's happened in my house. Then he's like, weird shit's happened in my house. He's like, I heard weird shit's happening at Ayah's house, too.
Starting point is 00:40:38 I heard weird shit's happening over- It's what happened in Poultergeist. Apparently, the neighborhood was built on a plantation. Wow. Like from back in the day. And so, like, and everyone in the neighborhood had weird shit happening to them. And it wasn't for a couple of years that we all start talking to each other and find out that everyone had, like, weird situations happened in that town. That's fucking one little neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Wow. That's frightening. Yeah, it was always very fucking scary. And then what happened? But I guess you had moved. And I never, nothing's ever happened to me since. But I do. That's why I believe it's both.
Starting point is 00:41:15 There are people that can see it. Yeah. And I think that there are places that have it. Yeah. And they have to be together. I guess so. But I've, but if nothing has happened to me ever since, I mean, I don't know. Am I really a person who can see it? I don't know. You know, like that seems, I feel like that's what? I was probably 16. So that's almost 30 years ago. Yeah. So nothing. I mean, I also was like a pre-pubescent boy who was like, you know, going through a bunch of weird body shit. That's what they say. Well, you can see it. And they also believe the idea that it may be legitimately something along the lines of. The lines of. of your brain solidifying around the ages of 25 might do that, might keep you from being able to see something. Because I don't think it's, it's not like you're sensitive.
Starting point is 00:42:01 You're what I mean? Like, it's not like you're like, you're like, you are. I'm a beacon, though. I'm empathetic. I'm empathic. Amber Nelson swears she's psychic, right? Yeah. She swears, she talks to ghosts.
Starting point is 00:42:13 She can speak to ghosts and she go into places and she holds herself like that. But I just don't think she's ever seen one. Yeah. You've seen a bunch of them. And nothing's going in there. Well, there is the other thing I've heard famously. I think we've talked about this on the show before, that weed dampens your ability to have contact with the other side.
Starting point is 00:42:34 Weed's bad for magic. Yeah, and I smoke a lot of weed. So maybe weed just killed whatever ghost thing that was inside of me. Weed is bad for magic. Yeah. Unless you've got the old school, you use it very specifically in rituals or whatever. It's supposed to gunk up your pituitary gland, according to the mass. magical users, but I just think they just can't handle it.
Starting point is 00:42:52 I think it makes him paranoid. But that's all my ghost stories. Wow. That's all that's all of them put together. That's a half an hour of ghost stories. You just did a full half an hour on just your ghost stories. That's fucked up. Julie's got none?
Starting point is 00:43:09 Julie's got none. She's never experienced anything. Natalie's never experienced anything. I've never experienced anything. Rob, you've never experienced anything, right? Long Island. I've had some strange feelings when I'm, was doing plumbing, I would go into old houses
Starting point is 00:43:22 and I'd be the only one in there and I would feel like someone's watching me, but I never had anything directly happened. I've like sensed... Well, they were watching you and they were masturbating at you. Probably. That's different. That's called customers. It was the hamlets. You know, yeah, you never know. Put your wrists in my shit. Yeah. Yeah. Let me see you dig through
Starting point is 00:43:38 that, yeah. Let's those pants sliding a bit lower. I'd like to see the crest, you crick. Hey, don't throw that out. I was saving that. I was saving that. Yeah, it's a nice little long island ass you got a top of. Talk about ghost stories. Bye from your grave. All right, let me read some of these ghost stories.
Starting point is 00:43:55 I got some ghost stories from Faines. Nice, nice. I picked one out, too. I'm going to read this Haunted Sandwich Shop. Ooh. I used to work in a haunted sandwich shop in Texas. It was located in a standalone building in the middle of a parking lot, and like other businesses along the road,
Starting point is 00:44:17 looked as if it had been converted from a single family home. There were creepy stories about the place shared among employees long before I got there. And they continued after I'd left. Things like hear and whispered conversations in the back room when you were alone in the morning, bags of chips and cardboard displays moving around at night, and handprints appearing on the clean glass covering the line where we kept the sandwich ingredients. Very interesting. I also say what you were bringing up, I wanted to say that I was getting into a little, like,
Starting point is 00:44:47 for some reason, a hole of ghost stories. the Luxor in Vegas and how apparently the Luxor in Vegas is the most haunted location in all of Vegas and the the ghost folds your clothes. That's weird. Against your will. Like you show up and you have unpacked and then you come back into the room and the ghosts have folded up clothes and have left them on the bed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:10 And then you go and say, has someone been in my room? And Luxor apparently has a policy where they don't acknowledge it. Luxor isn't that old either. I remember seeing the Luxor get built when I was a kid. And there's also multiple suicides in the Luxch. There's been many suicides in the Luxor. People jumping off? Well, no, well, in the room.
Starting point is 00:45:27 Oh, in the rooms. Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, they wait to jump off when they get to Disney. Yes. Two suicides in the last 10 days. I heard it was five now. Well, five deaths.
Starting point is 00:45:36 Five deaths. Yeah, but two of them were suicides at the contemporary. One person jumped and one person was found in their room. Can you imagine spending that much money just to commit suicide? I mean, who cares if you're committing suicide? If I'm spending that kind of money? I'm in France. Really?
Starting point is 00:45:52 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, buddy. Maybe they went... I'm doing this in Europe. I think a lot of people go to Disney to kind of forget their problems, and when they get there, they realize that not only did they not forget their problems, but they're completely broke now, too. I'm in a haunted mansion of my errors.
Starting point is 00:46:09 Yes, and the problems have just increased. Yes. Yes, very much so. I'm back to the sandwich shop. I thought it's fascinating. I forgot about that. They committed suicide in Disneyland. It's hard.
Starting point is 00:46:23 They landed in the guy who jumped land right where they serve brunch with the characters. Apparently. Apparently. I've heard that, but I have, no one has officially reported that. But I don't know where else they're going to land. It's got to be scary to find a guy where the breakfast is flat as a pancake. Have you ever been to
Starting point is 00:46:38 the contemporary, Rob? The contemporary is the hotel that the train runs through. And it's built kind of like the Luxor. How there's just rooms along the side and it's like a big atrium in the middle. And then someone jumped off the side into the middle, like in the middle of the hours. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Yeah, yeah. So, like, that's how they decided to fucking do it. And it was kind of crazy because there was a high school dive team there and one of the coaches just went 10. All right, here we go. So it's spooky. It's spooky time. One night, I was working a closing shift and it was up on the line alone.
Starting point is 00:47:11 Two managers in the back employee area. The bell of the front door chimed. The customer walked in. now this bell sound was triggered by a motion detector at floor level in the small foyer just beyond the door not by any movement of the door itself so anybody entering had a pass through the motion detector which then would make the bell go off in this case it was a millage man in a fedora style hat and a long wool picoat a strange choice for most seasons of texas weather which is why i remember it so clearly i greeted him when they glanced back down at the task that I'm in the middle of. And since he still had a walk across the lobby, I had time to finish up before he reached me. When I looked up again, the man was gone.
Starting point is 00:48:00 My first thought was that he must have turned around and gone to the bathrooms, because I hadn't hurt the doorbell. So there's no way that he'd left. A couple of minutes later, Fulta cold chill ran out my spine with the realization that the man couldn't have gone to the bathroom. He couldn't even have entered the restaurant. We've already been closed for the night, but I'd lock the front door. I shrieked for the managers who checked the entire place. The front door was indeed locked. The bathrooms were empty, and the man in the long coat was nowhere to be found.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Wow. See, those are the kind of things that, like, you know, you never know. We had something similar like that happened to Hooters. It was going to sound crazy. One night we came in, and they were asking all of us if we, like, came into the store the last night, anyone who had keys, you know? And we're like, no. There's a lot of skittery characters in Tallahassee, especially at the time.
Starting point is 00:48:54 For sure, for sure. But there was on the camera footage, there was footage of an old lady walking around inside the Hooters that night when it was closed, and no alarm ever went off. Like, to open or close the doors.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Man, ghost lesbian. Yeah. Yeah, just there. Just some leftover titty ghosts. Where are the ladies? It's like, you're late. We haunt us during the day. Do you see the Tallahassee Hooters is fighting because they are, they believe, and they're fighting to get more black ladies in the restaurant. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:49:26 I got torn down. They said, no, there's some, one of these hooters came out and they said they're fighting to get more black ladies and Tallahassee Hooters is gone. Yeah. Yeah, it's demolished. Yeah, I got it. Someone sent me a photo. Man, someone should have brought you one of the signs, like that H or something.
Starting point is 00:49:39 I went right before I left, right before like last year I went real quick once just to like, you know, go to, you know, my old stomping to grounds and stuff. I got a shirt, so I'm good. Of course. Yeah, yeah. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, I do know what I would like if anyone out there has it. I would love one of those Hooters' plates.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Oh, yeah. I like those, I know that those plastic wood plates. Yeah, bring us one of the women. Yeah, no, I, I knew them. They're fine. No, they're nice. You know what I mean. Yeah, the Hooters girls are wonderful, but, you know.
Starting point is 00:50:09 Oh, you got your story. Oh, yes. I'm sorry, I was looking at all that. Rob was pulling up Hooters merch, and I got distracted. He didn't get deeper to the Hooters. I do love Hooters merch. Oh, man. Remember when they had an arena football team and an airline?
Starting point is 00:50:22 I do. I remember the airline. The airline where they were like, oh, the stortices were dressed like Hooter Girls and they served chicken wings in the air. It was pretty great. I can't believe it didn't last. The mid-90s had a rash of really fun micro-businesses that went nowhere. You remember Sega TV?
Starting point is 00:50:37 Oh, yeah. Like shit like that. We had a lot of cool stuff we didn't get. This one's a spooky pasta. Is that all right? Yes, of course. No, read the Spooky pasta. This one's called Spooky Pasta in the Woods by Party Brett.
Starting point is 00:50:51 I'm an avid outdoor guy. I like to fish, hunt, ride motorcycles, and have recently gotten to overlanding as I'm starting to get a little older. What does overlanding mean? I don't even know what that means. Overland? He's getting into overlanding. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:51:12 Overlanding. What is it? Overlanding is a form of self-reliant adventure. travel where the journey is the primary goal. Cool. Typically involving a vehicle traveling to a remote destination. Well, good for you, Brett. Um, so he's gotten into overlanding recently as I'm starting to get older. This tale happened about 15 years ago after a bad breakup. I was in a private campground out in the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. It was a real rainy weekend, but I needed some outdoor time and I have a pretty nice gear, so I went
Starting point is 00:51:42 anyway. Campground was empty. Not even anyone in the room, office. I figured I'd just slip some cash with a mail slot for my rental site fee and enjoyed my alone time. Turned on my little speaker and started my fire. Cook some supper and started to just enjoy the sound of the rain hitting my pop-up and stay close to the fire. That's when I heard a very distinct, loud voice. Is it safe? I turned off my music because I thought the rain and the alone time was playing tricks on me. Not to mention I was about four beers and a glass of whiskey in and about a minute later from another direction I heard is it safe? And then from the first direction immediately after. Is it safe? Not 30 seconds later from three different directions. Is it safe? Is it safe? Is it safe? Is it safe?
Starting point is 00:52:42 Is it safe? So I went to my truck, grabbed my shotgun, loaded it, racked it, and put one more in the tube. Safe for who? I asked loudly. That's when I heard wrestling in the brush of people running. And then a car start to speed off. Didn't sleep much that night. Moved to a different part of the peninsula the next night to enjoy the rest of my vacation.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Stay safe out there, guys. Not every scare is supernatural. and not every predator is four-legged. Yeah. Creepy pasta. Man, it's the most dangerous animal of all. You know, I'm excited.
Starting point is 00:53:24 I mean, what are you doing Halloween? Halloween, I'm in the air, baby. Yeah, that's right, because you're already on the way to Florida. I'm going to Florida early because I got a show in Miami the night before the cruise.

Also, if you have any, like, good murder at sea stories, send them into side stories,
Starting point is 00:54:07 L-P-O-T-L.com. We could probably use it at g-mail.com. We could probably use it for the show. And not the recent Netflix one. There was that story I think is Amanda Taylor. I don't know who she is. Amanda Brown, I believe the lady that fell off the cruise boat because there's still, no, we don't have any concrete leads on that.
Starting point is 00:54:23 And I still kind of feel like she might have fallen off the boat. But we don't know. A lot of people fall off boats. A lot of people fall off boats. It's really fucking crazy. But not us. Yeah. Also, after the cruise, though, if you're sticking around,

Starting point is 00:58:19 It's good. I really do believe it is a healthy experience for a child. Not to scare them like Joseph Fritzel. That's not scaring. That's abuse. I don't mean abuse them. I mean scare them. I mean set up scenarios where they don't know whether or not the house is
Starting point is 00:58:36 haunted or not. Do what Eddie's family did to him. Probably. I mean, I still believe that's probably the best case scenario. But I feel like my dad would have folded and be like, gotcha, man. Of course he would. Yeah, that's the thing. He would have wanted it too bad. I think got you, you fucking idiots. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why I don't think my dad did it.
Starting point is 00:58:51 Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Just if you're out there, this is the great time to make Halloween special for your kids by scaring the ever-living shit out of him. Pay an old buddy to hang out in the room. I like, that's what I would do. Put a bunch of shit in their underwear drawer. Pay someone that, like, how much fun would that be?
