Welcome to This Paranormal Life, the only paranormal podcast where we investigate a brand new paranormal tale, claim, case case or beast uh where kit and i are the hosts you're goddamn right we're very excited to be back on another paranormal tuesday with a very interesting tale a lot of other podcasts will talk ask about how each other are doing

right that would only be dispelling classified information i don't want to tell you how my week went all right because then you know shit about me how's how's my week classified what's my name classified when's my birthday of course classified this is you on a date so what do i do for fun huh how about that's classified you mind your own business they're just like i already know a lot about you from your tinder profile how did you get access to that classified database today's episode comes from a fantastic listener submission uh from swan levitt who emailed his story to this paranormal life podcast at gmail.com for us to investigate and swan we've got you covered buddy buddy. We're going to rip this case wide open. He said, hello, Kitten Nori. My name is Swan Levitt, and I have a story to tell. I'm going to be paraphrasing a little bit, but this is essentially what his email said.

I live on the Isle of Wight, a small island south of mainland Britain. The Isle of Wight has a lot of history. It has Roman villas,lo-saxon settlements and a big ass norman castle smack bang in the middle of it it's also pretty damn creepy and often regarded as the most haunted island in the world really allegedly even more than atlantis well that's not an island right it's in the bottom of the ocean it was an island yeah but even then i would have thought like alcatraz is probably pretty haunted i guess it's an island yeah where ghosts went to jail or whatever happened there yeah because you have the regular high security prison and then in the ghost realm you have the even higher security it's surprisingly hard to keep ghosts in place yeah which was extra sad when the prisoners died in alcatraz and they

were like well at least i'm free he's like oh you're going to ghost traz well what was your sentence here before 50 years 5 million years in ghost prison and then i get out then you go to hell okay i stole some bread oh is this fair he continued my story takes place at ariton manor its history dates back to as early as 872 jesus yeah i know it's bad when it's only three digits it must have been built around then but records are pretty vague when it comes to the dark ages of course however the house is specifically mentioned in king alfred the great's will in 885 offering the manor to his son athel weird athel weird we are what maybe i'm just pronouncing it wrong athel athel weird it Athol weird. It looks like Athol weird. How is it spelled? Think Athol.

Right. And then weird. Okay. W-E-A-R-D. Okay. Maybe weird. Weird. Athol weird.

It's going to be much less distracting if you pronounce it Athol weird. If we change it. Okay. So we gave it to Athol freak. Was that chiller? The opposite of what I said. It was also later owned by William the Conqueror, Edward the Confessor, and then monks resided there for over 400 years.

The royalty dropped the ball. Why did they let it slip out of the grip of the royal family? Well, it eventually slipped back into royal hands. Thank God. When it was owned by Count Slade de Pomperoy. Now, at this point, the manor was a beautiful place expensive decorations dazzling furnishings

but as we know the history of places like this are seeped into the walls carved into the rock you can't escape them with your lavish furnishings you can put no matter how beautiful the Ikea rug is you put over the uh

blood-stained floors the blood will seep through exactly listen we've all we i don't know a lot about the royalty of old and britain uh but i have seen game of thrones and i understand that they have many castles uh it's a they sort of swan about all of them and generally a lot of bloody stuff goes on in there yeah ungodly stuff as well we're talking praying to fire gods yeah we're talking killing entire families of people entire bloodlines inside the these walls yeah that stuff's not getting scrubbed out by mr muscle no you can't just hang a plasma over the gallows you know that shit you can't roomba the blood of the innocent trust me we tried we tried a whole horde of roombas it would work like a ghostbusters trap you know and just

kind of trap the demons in there sort of luigi's mansion style suck them up but when we came back they'd possess the room the rumors were very much the rumors were sentient they were actually Luigi's Mansion style suck them up. But when we came back, they possessed the Roombas. The Roombas were very much haunted. The Roombas were sentient. They were actually muttering ancient curses, trying to suck up the humans via their shoes. The Roombas were going in a kind of satanic spell circle. They weren't hoovering up dust anymore, that's for sure.

Well, late one night, the Count was sleeping peacefully in his enormous warm bed when he heard a faint light tapping on his bedroom door. He tried to sleep through it, but the tapping persisted. So he jumped out of bed, stormed over to the door, and flung it open. What is it? He yelled into the empty halls, but there was no one there. Now this continued as the days went on, tapping late at night. The count eventually stopped going to the door until one night he'd had enough and he ran over to the door, threw it open and all of a sudden he felt a number of unseen hands shove him backwards into the room. Whoa. His housekeeper who had heard the commotion and was there at the time, said that she had

seen two strange monks push him from the doorway and then disappear. Well, they are strange monks. They're very violent, apparently. But also, I mean, I don't think there's been monks in this place for years and years. It's slipped back into royal hands.

Very, very true. I mean, if something was tapping on your window to begin with what are you gonna think it is probably a bird oh so this is his door um okay well my point is moot cool i was very confused paranormal then yes of course it is no but i get if it's door you know maybe it's your kids scratching at the door you know be like uh papa you have you didn't feed us oh feed yourselves you're wankers or maybe it's like mice nibbling away scratching at the door very possible uh this place is probably rat infested or with all the blood lying around the rats are are probably jacked on blood of the innocent.

But yeah, totally. Could be animals running around the place. So this is most unusual. It is most unusual. But not unusual enough to be paranormal. So let's flash forward. To the year 1560. When the manor was owned by a woman named mrs barnby lay now nearing the

end of her life one of her two sons james or thomas would inherit the property but which one to determine this the brothers proposed the jewel no i thought i thought it was clear cut i thought it was like the eldest no uh i guess not i don't know how it works on the isle of light oh it's different rules it's like international waters yes prison rules god damn yeah i i don't know 1560 they had they obviously had guns so guns were around i don't know how did they when were guns invented oh jesus i'm pretty sure guns were like 1400s let's guess when did you think uh when are you saying a gun was invented 14 1464 and we're not and we're not talking like chinese like the first cannon ever because

that's bullshit we're talking the first rifle we're not we're not talking about a caveman sticking a pebble in a bamboo shoot and firing it in another caveman's asshole we're talking about a full-on western gunpowder cowboy hat gun slinging lasso tossing cowboy boot wearing spike house horse riding western dirty ass pub drinking whiskey sucking rifle and you think that was the 1400s i'm gonna say 1600 1600 we both overshot this is on a website called Gun Timeline. Which presumably was a premium Squarespace URL. It just... Costs thousands. It's just blank calendars until it gets to the year it was invented.

And it's just a picture of a barrel pointed at me through the screen. You ducked out of shock. Whoa! Whoa! Careful where you're putting that thing junior essentially uh historians have concluded that um 1364 was the year where uh i guess what guns were at least popularized um yeah that's that's insane my sense of history is so off yeah because 1364 i think swords knights maybe when are knights around that's a you need to go to knight timeline.com source rather sword timeline.com just nothing nothing nothing till across both uh when i was say, when were knights invented? When were knights?

Okay, I'm going to guess 900. I'm going to guess 1200. Well, the knight Templars were 11, how do you even say this number? 11,118. What do you mean 11,118? That's in the future they come back that's 11 what that i meant 1000 1118 yeah christ well let's move on i'm talking about future nights all right the duel was on they lined up they walked their 10 paces turned to face each other and fired their guns when the smoke was cleared thomas had been killed not thomas however thomas had also shot james

who was now also dying it makes sense they're brothers they have the same dna same killer instinct the same trigger finger yeah this is the worst possible outcome of a duel. I think both of you killing each other. It's just completely pointless. Well, Swan went on to write in his email, James, after this, had the deeds to the house, but he himself was now on his deathbed. Christ.

A proper shit show. This is where things get interesting. Now, James's son, John, wanted all the wealth to fall to him when his father died. Of course. But James disliked his son. What? I don't know the context behind that. And instead decided to give his whole inheritance to Annabelle, his sweet little daughter whom he adored. Now, obviously, John wasn't happy at the thought of his 10-year-old sister getting the manor and not him. So, before his father could write his will

declaring Annabelle as rightful owner to the house, John tiptoed into his father's bedchamber and smothered him with a pillow. No. Yeah. Again, more rich, family sneaky ass shit going down this family is incredibly dysfunctional but just as john turned around to leave the room he saw annabelle his sister standing in the doorway she witnessed everything and she's only 10 did you you say? Only 10 years old. Run, Annabelle.

Run for your life. He's got a pillow and he's not afraid to use it. John, in his panic, dragged Annabelle upstairs and hurled her from the highest window. No. She was killed immediately. Of course. Lots of evil shit is going down in this manor. Would you even want it at this point, sir? Who is this piece of shit?

Because, yes, oh hey, I got the manor. I killed my own father and then my sister. That won't come back and literally haunt me. Well, usually this is where you, Kit, would ask me, Rory, for evidence. And I, Rory, would say, Kit, I have none. Okay, to be clear. I'm trying to be as clear as possible but I Rory don't have to do that anymore because this isn't my Rory my case this is Swan's case this is a Swan song all right Kit you see you're you're throwing a lot of information at me but the crux of it seems to be you have no basis for any of what you just said. I was trying to be blatantly clear.

What I was trying to say is, this ain't on me. This is on Swan. Well, you chose to cover this story. It was an obligation to a listener, all right? But I included it, and you'll find out why. Because Swan has a personal connection with Arriton Manor. No. He writes,

No. He writes, My brother, Luke, worked as a caretaker and gardener there. The house, now open to the public, is shut during winter months, but gardens still have to be kept up. I quickly became jealous of my brother's new job, mad that he got it and I didn't. So I crept into his room. No, Swan! I hate my brother, Annabelle. I challenged him to a duel,

but the coward ignored me. I said pistols at dawn and he didn't show. I challenged him to a Yu-Gi-Oh duel. I challenged him to Beyblades at dawn. Winner gets the manor. He's like, I don't know. Neither of us own the manor and I don't own a Beyblade.

What's more, I have a job and I'm busy. Leave me alone. Too busy to let it rip with your brother? Yes. A hundred percent. Yes. Oh, well, the current owner has two children, a boy and a girl. They enjoyed playing around in the gardens, running around, chasing each other

through the various hedge mazes. My brother would often have a laugh with them while he cut the grass and raked the leaves, etc. But one day, he noticed one of the children playing on her own. Weird, he thought. The kids would always play together when they came home from school. So he asked the girl, where's your brother? Is he sick or something? The girl smiled and replied, No, he's fine. He's just playing with Annabelle. You've heard that name before?

My brother went pale. He had heard the stories of the little girl who was thrown from the window, but he shrugged it off. It's obviously just a friend from school. So we went on working away slogging through the day that wasn't till he entered the hedge maze don't go to the hedge maze i feel like if anything spooky happens in your day avoid all hedge mazes like anything

unlucky like you trip up because your shoelace was undone i'm staying the hell away from a hedge maze if a little girl even hints at having contacted a deceased spirit just tell the boss i'm not feeling great today yeah i'm gonna take the afternoon off i'll see you tomorrow morning gonna sleep on it that's a good one gonna let that day's events pass by watch some netflix forget about it yeah but don't even sleep don't put your head down because that's when they pillow you all right oh yeah you gotta stay up all night grunted all night you're gonna feel horrible the next day yeah but you're gonna feel alive as well which is pretty great so tell your boss hey i'm not coming in today i'm feeling a little ill

then you hang up load your shotgun point it at the front door, turn the table up, you know, just sit there waiting, waiting, waiting. Right. Pizza delivery guy knocks on the door because you forgot you ordered a pizza. He says, I've got a pepper. Boom! Blast. One warning shot. Get the son of a bitch off the porch.

Then, you know, Amazon delivery guy because you forgot you bought a bunch of shit on Amazon. You bought some shotgun shells in Amazon. You go to fire your gun. He's the shells what do you do now you're in the thick of it no time to think open the door grab a pillow smother the son of a bitch so now you're smothering people next thing you know you look in the mirror and you are the demon you look over the pizza delivery guys annabelle it's a slippery slope guys you know what they say you either what is it either die a normie or live long enough to see yourself become a demon i think that was a batman quote yeah so we entered the hedge maze now this is where he saw the owner's other child the boy playing around on his own laughing and clearly talking to someone else someone who wasn't there who are you

talking to my brother asked um i'm not supposed to say what do you mean annabelle doesn't like adults then the boy ran away giggling what ages are these children oh 17 and 18 i i mean they're young enough hopefully young enough for this to be not normal but i mean when was the last time you ran away giggling i like to think it it's been quite a few years the email continued his boss would often tell stories of his daughter talking at night to a child who wasn't there. He would also look up at the highest window and catch a glimpse of a pale little girl standing behind the glass. This is really escalating. Reportedly, you can also hear a sobbing voice coming from upstairs saying,

Mama? Mama? But it's not the little girl. I actually don't know where that comes from. Yeah, that doesn't make any sense because well i guess if it's annabelle she's the daughter of one of the brothers so she had a mom oh yeah of course so yeah but it could be annabelle or it could be this little girl sure it could be the alive little girl oh yeah it could be what is an alive little girl doing up behind a glass window at night well that's true well also in the email swan recommended that we check out an episode of most haunted where the crew actually went to the manor and investigated

it overnight right we've uh featured Haunted on this podcast before. It's just a staple, household staple, of the kind of UK TV paranormal scene. Paranormal investigators and psychic mediums team up to investigate Britain's most famous paranormal cases. Yeah, and, you know, the show is is um led by uh derek cora who's a controversial figure in the paranormal world you know some people say that he's a uh uh uh what's the word i'm looking for someone who is sneaky sneaky little sneakster he's a charlatan little

charlatan and i and i you know that And I, you know, that's their opinion. You know, I won't say a bad word against them. But I looked at the documentary and I found some earth-shattering evidence. You did? I did. I mean, at one point, Derek Okora is possessed

by the spirit of a man who used to live in this manor. And it is some of the most captivating paranormal evidence that I've ever witnessed before. Arata Manor is an ancient home on the Isle of Wight, and it's providing an awful lot of evidential interest for the most haunted crew. There had already been several incidents of apparent poltergeist activity, and now in the attic something seemed to have taken hold of derek

derek derek derek okay mate come back come on who are you are you the spirit we will speak of edward edward hello edward are you edward brian correct correct edward can you converse with us can you talk to us yes i can yes i can we want to understand why you're still here i want to be here I want to be here. I want to be here. That's fine. That's fine. What?

You don't mind us being here, do you? Where's that woman? Who's that, Amy? Where's the woman? I'm here. What? Good lady. Good lady. Good lady.

Good lady. Good lady. What do you... Did you die, Edward? Dead, dead, dead. Keep on telling me dead, dead. Everyone keeps on telling me dead. He should have protected me.

He promised me he would. Yes. Yes, I will see him. I will see him. Edmund, let's make your way from your house. Charlie boy. Charlie boy. Where are you?

Where are you? Who was Charlie boy, Edmund? Charles I. What year was he here? Gosh. Derek. Derek. Derek.

Derek. Derek. Derek. So obviously, as I said, you have some of the most convincing paranormal evidence I've ever seen in my life. Holy smokes. It's rare that we get to see an actual possession caught on camera. Obviously, that was a very passionate possession. Yeah.

A lot of heart and energy. I mean, that's what happens when a demon is controlling your innards. It's pretty violent. I guess on the more critical judgment of this, anytime anyone asked him about a specific date, he kind of either just fell over or started screaming. He couldn't actually tell anyone when anything was happening. He seemed to be very forthcoming with easy bits of information such as who's charlie he said charles the first and then i think he was asked when was charles

the first here and then he just blacked out pretended to be asleep he slowly fell over onto the ground and then they asked if he was okay and then he awoke again not possessed anymore but look i don't know how this stuff works maybe after a couple hundred years in the demon dimension you lose track of time and space because that's not derek trying to answer them that's the demon trying to comprehend time and space through derek's body yeah we can't uh we can't really criticize derek for this one he was not in control of himself uh bit confusing that you know the English language hasn't really changed in what 500 years or more uh when I think it has actually so I thought this was a good case because not only do we have this first-hand account of Derek Okora being possessed by a demon we have a whole um

episode of the show they shot with a lot of paranormal stuff happening, but we also have one of our very own listeners having a first-hand, I guess second-hand, connection to this manor, which is incredible. It's not something that we get to deal with every day. It's rare. It really is rare. And whilst it's easy to sort of pick apart what Derek Okor was doing there, and whenever you watch Most Haunted, you feel detached and you can sort of say, well, those folks are making money off making that show.

That's their livelihood. That's Derek's livelihood is getting possessed. That's a bit of a conflict of interest, unfortunately, is that the more times you get possessed, the more money you make. Yeah, that's not the industry you want to be in when you're trying to pose yourself as a credible paranormal investigator yeah it's kind of like saying i'm a film critic and the more five stars i hand out the bigger my house gets yeah like if we got paid for every yes on this podcast we'd be handing them out left right and center we'd be

dead and i got her because we'd be broke as hell but what's actually exciting is that we have someone who does not have any interest financially in this there's no even emotional investment really in this that they just simply work in the area yeah and that they have had a first-hand encounter with this and it sounds like in all likelihood other people who work there have too it seems to be that this is a known paranormal situation yeah there's i mean there's been a number of cases which i didn't even include uh just for time's sake but yeah the fact that it's it has all these rumors about it. The monks, the children talking to Annabelle. This duel that went wrong. I mean, there's so much history, dark history, just embedded in the walls of this place

that it makes perfect sense that this would become a haunted location. Especially with kids, you know, kids talking to ghosts. Because that's the thing, right? Is that people believe that when we were kids, we could see everything. See demons. And as you get older, you kind of lose that ability. Yeah, that kids are more connected somehow to the spirit realm because they've just come from there. Yeah.

Within recent times. And maybe that's why we can't remember stuff from being kids as well. It's because we're kind of, I don't know, off with the fairies a bit. Which I think is personally ridiculous you're telling me that billy over here the guy that can't even say his own name just who's just shat in his own pants he can see a demon and i can't you're trying to tell me that well you're wearing black house shades so you can't see anything right now i'm just like in a kindergarten full leather trench coat neo glasses oh yeah you guys can see demons how about you count to five i'll do that for you right now one two four

sorry i i got that wrong uh the numbers are on the board in the kindergarten behind me uh sorry i'm stressed i just i feel like there's a demon in the room could you kids tell me if there's oh could you kids tell uncle rory if there's a demon in the room none of them are listening brick at your head hey you little shit the only thing with the kids and the reason i ask what age they are is because it is entirely possible if you think of this as a kind of scientific experiment we don't know if this is a closed experiment we don't know if these kids have been told about annabelle before maybe this is a storytelling exercise the parents might have said hey this is the history of this building isn't that fun little timmy yeah a little girl

called annabelle used to live in this very room isn't that cute anyway night night uh and then we know that kids sometimes have imaginary friends maybe they simply combine those two things very true very true because i mean they could have used it uh tomino's hell style where it's like oh yeah little billy uh remember to eat your vegetables or annabelle will throw you out the highest window of the the house they might have it kind of reminds me of um oh you haven't you haven't seen hill house have you haunting of hill house no i mean that's great i mean that's like a paranormal story that all takes place around this one house and the dark history there and there's some imaginary friends there's some ghosts there's a lot of this sort of stuff going on right i mean the conclusion of that

was that yeah the house was haunted as shit it was ghosts leaking out the walls um but i don't know if that's where we're gonna come down on today and yet we must conclude so let's look at our evidence exhibit a a whole video and documentary of paranormal stuff happening by tv's most haunted who granted we have completely disproven all of their evidence before we We have our email from our listener, Swan Levitt. Granted, it's not even him that was there. It was his brother. So that's secondhand, right? But is that enough?

Is that enough paranormal juice? I mean, we have years and years of paranormal stuff happening at this place, but very little photographic evidence very little video evidence outside of this documentary i think that's what i need here is this this would be very very interesting if maybe a kids maybe visited with no prior knowledge imagine a kid visiting from a different part of the country never been to the isle of wight never been to this castle and they arrived and they started running around the hedge going, oh, hey, Annabelle.

Now that would be something else. Yeah. But the fact that these kids live in the premises, as far as I understand, means there's a good chance that they already know about Annabelle, which doesn't mean that they're not communicating with the dead spirit of Annabelle, who's thrown out the tower.

But it's a difficult leap when we know that even the legend of Annabelle being thrown out of the tower isn't a historical record. Yeah, the word legend and legend states was used quite a few, enough times while reading up in this case that it made me a little iffy. Got it. I think what we really need here is, if it is possible, Swan,

to clarify, maybe from your brother or maybe you know yourself, whether or not these kids had heard the legend of Annabelle before they started talking about seeing this ghost named Annabelle. I think that would really, that would push the needle definitely towards the direction of a yes a little more for me personally but until then we must conclude kit where are you where is your hammer of judgment coming down on this week a bit like derrick acora in that clip uh as soon as you ask me what my conclusion is i'm going to slowly pass out right here in the chair and refuse to answer. I think it's going to have to be a no by default for now.

I think I'm right there with you. We're close. We got so much paranormal evidence here, but none of it, none of it is that silver bullet we need to take down this beast. What, Annabelle? That's ghosts, silver bullets silver bullet is a ghost golden knife is a werewolf titanium ak is dracula i think i think these are just call of duty unlockables the 420 weed skin takes down sasquatch but wow what a case unfortunately i know this week but thank you so much to swan levitt for emailing in his case guys we love investigating your own stories even if they're a big old no so uh remember to email in your stories to this paranormal life

podcast at gmail.com and you can have kit and myself the two most prestigious paranormal investigators take on your case personally pro grata i don't know what that means pro grata pro gratification i still don't know moving on god i just talked about how professional we were you don't know the phrase pro grata. Jesus Christ. So you can get me the professional and kit this child, I guess. Quick sidebar. Investigate, yeah.

What is professional? We say that a lot. I don't know what it actually means. You don't know what the word professional means? I mean, I have like a ballpark guess. That's ridiculous. But like not exactly that's i don't need to keep this in obviously but i think you're actually illiterate

what is what is illiterate to ask i hate to ask what it what is illiterate that is what you are it's a long word that's the word you are fine if it's me but what is it it means you don't know words you must have known it don't look at me like that you must means you don't know words. You must have known it. Don't look at me like that. You must have known. Don't you nod your head. All I said was you don't know words. What word did you not know from that sentence?

Word? I honestly hate to ask. I hate to be that guy. You don't know the word word. I'm not used to an S being on the end. Like I've heard word before. But not words? No.

I was going to tell you that's the plural version, but I'm assuming plural. You don't know the word plural? Plural is some kind of soup. But you know, so you know what soup is. That shit's delicious. You know delicious? You know so many very specific words that soup is exquisite soup is exquisite it is the finest cuisine that i love to consume thank you so much uh for emailing

I mean, you wanted to do that while we were poor, which was a little weird. Yeah, well, I thought we couldn't afford food. So I thought we'd just, you know, fight the animals, eat the victors. Yeah, but I want to make animals fight. No, I don't want't afford food. So I thought we just you know fight the animals eat the victors Yeah, but I want to make animals fight.

Holy shnikes. They don't talk about him much because, you know, there's not a lot of mud on Earth.

Which is cool because it looks really amazing but um simon we need real money we do otherwise we're gonna have to mime a bonus episode back to you which takes as long as recording a real episode so long so mime and simon thank you for the support we appreciate the real money and the my money the mimey the bowmine thanks also to dylan dwyer dylan dwyer is killing fire that's right you've

heard of a firefighter but have you ever heard of a fire killer no there's not a lot of there's been one dylan dylan oh they rolled up to the burning house blasting it with their hoses but dylan put on a pair of knuckle dusters and just jumped into the building swinging punches wildly at the flames they had to rescue him obviously he suffocated almost instantly from the smog he dropped to the floor shattering a bunch of the family's valuables on the way down he like swiped a whole casket full of fabergé eggs. But he went down swinging, literally. We'll always clap out some vigilante justice here in the pod. That's good stuff.

Good stuff. Thanks also to Darcy Drake. Darcy Drake? Could it be the multi-award winning recording artist Drake is a patron of This Paranormal Life? You need to stop getting excited every time you see the name holy shite i can't believe he's taking the time out of his hectically busy recording and touring schedule just to chime a couple bucks into the buckets of the paranormal peasants you must know this isn't the drake He must have heard some of Rory's previous freestyles on the cast and just wanted a piece of the puzzle.

This is like when you got really excited when we were sponsored by Jason Nelly. Of course. You thought it was the rapper Nelly. Who else? How many other people do you know called Nelly? There's quite a few, honestly. Really? But Darcy, if you are Drake himself

rap twice to let us know. Thanks also to Mark Abrahams. Mark ate a hams. That's right. Mark ate an entire ham. Now I know what you're thinking. He ate a whole roast pig.

I think they were involved in some sort of accident involving the the rack you know the medieval uh torture device the rack it wasn't a glorious uh um incident you

know but like a lot of superheroes you know the thing that makes them super is is quite painful and traumatic god well hopefully things are looking up since being on a medieval torture rack that's for sure yeah and if it isn't looking up just bend backwards thanks also to nathan vigil nathan vigil the vigilante uh he is on the run absolutely um vigilante as we talked about big fan of them on the podcast they're not really qualified as a thing to kind of bring people to justice they just have weapons yeah that's more or less it which is great it's very dad squad of you i'm behind it a hundred percent if you haven't had a child yet nathan you should really consider having a child for um entry into the dad

squad absolutely that's pretty much the only qualification you need is a child and a gun and lastly but not leastly thanks so much to paul wait paul as in p as in p diddy p diddy listens to our podcast p diddy drake tupac they're all here which seems so unlikely because as we covered on a bonus episode tupac is dead 100 dead however p diddy still around so this is very likely and i had no idea his name was paul diddy this this whole time paul diddler aka p diddy for short. Paul Didler III. Shorten his name to P. Diddy for the rapping clout. And, wow, Paul Didler. I'm so happy to have your support on this show.
