it's the season to eat boiled fish bait and throw
beat it projectiles at drunk strangers yelling at you as
you dry by death traps they call flips. But seriously,
it's a time to eat some delicious crawfish, which, by
the way, for the first time in five years, we've
had a wet and hot winter, which means monster side
crawfish with lower prices. My Southern people, you know what
I'm talking about. And on top of that, we have
the endless Monty Gral Parade five up here in northeast Texas.

Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 6: You know, I swear I don't think I sound that way.
Why didn't you never tell me?
Speaker 3: Because you can't help the way you sound?
Speaker 8: Well, I thought, maybe it's just a little like a
small instance when I was having silenus issues a couple
of weeks ago, But I guess it's throughout.
Speaker 6: The whole life.
Speaker 3: If you consider a small instance the course of about
fifty five shovels, that would be a small MG. Anyways,
we want to jump in here with thanks to all
of our military and civil servants.
Speaker 6: Love you all very much. God ble us each and
every one of you.
Speaker 3: And of course, special prayers go out to our the
United States military, the four gentlemen and their families that

obviously prayers to their families for what they're dealing with
right now.

Speaker 3: Jumping here real quick too, some iTunes reviews, because we

six l Michelle, Katie mcclerk. I hope that's McClurg and

Speaker 3: Then we got ad from North Carolina and history like her.
Speaker 8: So hey, I love those same eighteen reviews last week,
Thank you guys so much.
Speaker 3: Let's touch on that for a second. Lynn Shirley she
started following this week with a ten dollars donation thank
you so much on thank You. And then we've got
Julia and Kara noting. So we've got three new Patreon
supporters this week.
Speaker 6: Welcome aboard guys, yep.
Speaker 3: And the beauty of this is we've decided on some things.
Well I've decided I haven't told Tracy, but for the
most part, we decide that on Patreon, starting going forward,
we're going to add a little more to all you guys,
no matter what level you came on on, We're going
to do I said on on twice you did to
what level you came on aboard Patreon. We are going
to do at least probably just me some little short
stories throughout the month that they're on there, So you'll
probably get another two or three four stories a month,
though there'll be short. It might be three to five
minutes long. But it's just all extra for you guys
because we appreciate you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, thank you. I mean, I'm not doing it, you
just said me.
Speaker 3: Well, it's because sometimes you're not around to be able
to do it. Well, that makes sense, and they're going
to be short. So I already did one you probably
only know about.
Speaker 6: I don't know what to do with your life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, so we got let's talk about tonight's
show because the main subject of tonight's show is the Jersey.
Speaker 6: Devil and Joysy Devil that Joysy it was good, it.
Speaker 3: Was not good. So we're gonna do the Jersey Devil
as if that wasn't scary enough. Then we've got a
listener story that he wanted me to read on the air,
so we're gonna do that. We're gonna do Paul's story later,
and then we have a special treat because we had
a listener that was very nervous on telling a story
that that took place over the course of several years.
He reached out to us and said, hey, I'd like
to be able to do this, but I've hardly told
anybody this story. And it all took place from the
time he was like sixteen years old over to the
course till he was like thirty years old. Wow, So
he's going to be on the show and actually tell
his story, and we'll do that at the end. But
I think you guys are really going to like the story.
And then, like I said, he was super nervous telling it.
He kept apologizing. I kept telling him, Hey, everybody's nervous
when they're telling something deep down personal like that, So
I can't help but to be nervous. So with that
being said, a bunch of cool stuff. At the very
beginning of the show. You heard the promo for a
show called The Relic. It's a pretty cool show. We're
actually going to be on that show. Maxwell interviewed us
for he's doing like a Halloween special that'd be out
probably a couple of days before Halloween, and it's about
haunted objects, and he wanted us to come on and
talk about the Relic. That are not the Relic. What
do we do the dimigbox? The show is the Relic.
I'm an idiot, but now I'm going to get a
bad review. No, not me, because I don't have an
easily voice. But the so, the uh show that we
did it actually we talked about that, but then we
talked about a couple of other objects that he had,
so we kind of round tabled it.
Speaker 6: It was pretty cool, but we're really at a square table.
Speaker 3: We stop it. So are we ready to jump into this?
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's go. Let's talk about that old dumb devil
from Joysey.
Speaker 3: Okay, the Jersey Devil. And this, this really is one
of the stories. I don't know why I do this,
but this was one of the stories that people have
been asking to do like forever, and I just didn't
want to do it because everybody's done it. Everybody's done
I know, we've done I know a lot of people
and that's really why there's no logic in it. But
everybody's done it, and so I just I just didn't
have that big of a fascination with it. But then
once I started getting into it, the fascination comes. So
of course, so let's talk about out the Jersey Devil.
It is, without a doubt, New Jersey's oldest and most
enduring important pieces of folklore. There's no no offens or
butts about it. People been talking about the Jersey Devil
for about three hundred years.
Speaker 6: Three hundred years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean not NonStop, because nobody it's different people.
Speaker 6: From Oh I mean that that's a long time.
Speaker 3: I just wanted to make sure and they because they
didn't have cell phones.
Speaker 8: On this first soul a compression your head with that
thing cell phone.
Speaker 3: The story of the beast is that it stalks the
Pine Barrens, which is right there. It covers. The Pine
Barrens is like huge. I mean it covers like twenty
two percent of the state of New Jersey. Oh wow, Yeah,
it covers a lot of New Jersey.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 3: He's terrorized multitudes of people in that entire area. Now,
let's talk about the Pine barons real quick, because the
Pine Barrens, it's an area of where nothing really grows
because of the land is really sandy. Oh so the
only thing that really grows were these big pine trees.
And that's how it gets its name to Pine Bearings.
Speaker 6: Makes sense.
Speaker 3: So it's a big you know, part of it's national
park and beautiful. Oh it is it is from pictures
because I've never been there. Yeah, gat, so here's what
we got. The legend has it that in seventeen thirty five,
a Pine's resident known as Mother.
Speaker 6: Leads Mother Leeds.
Speaker 3: Yeah, leads, she found herself pregnant for the thirteenth time.
Speaker 6: We'll find another hobby. Mother.
Speaker 3: Yeah, apparently birth control wouldn't a strong point. You go
seventeen and Leeds, by the way, was the earliest settlement
in New Jersey, So that's that would be a pretty
common name, and it's still common name today. So she
finds herself pregnant. Mother Leeds was poor. Her husband was
pretty much a drunk, and he did very little to
provide for his family.
Speaker 6: Well you knew are to stick that waning, or didn't he?
Speaker 3: He sure did good grief, But in fairness, he could
have accidentally tripped and fell and stuck his dick in her.
So let's not just let's not just completely blame him.
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh. So I took a terrible turn.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: She was frustrated with the thought of being pregnant again
and knowing what her future would hold. So she threw
her hands to the heavens and said, let this one
be the devil.
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, why would she say such a thing.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, I guess that's just what
you do.
Speaker 6: Oh my lord, that's terrible.
Speaker 3: Now she went into labor a few months later, because
she was apparently pregnant six seven months at the time
she did this. But she she goes into labor, it's
a very stormy night at this point. She had totally forgotten,
obviously about her little gesture, and all of her kids
and a husband were in any other room, and she
was in the room with the midwives actually getting ready
to birth your birth.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now, by all accounts, the baby was actually born a normal,
healthy baby boy. But within moments mother leads kind of
wishes kind of came to fruition. The baby started to change. Uh,
it went almost metamorphosized right before everybody's eyes. Yeah, everybody's
seen this. So within minutes it transformed into from a
beautiful baby boy into a hideous creature unlike anything the
world had ever seen we see, how well that's true.
But I have seen I have seen some ugly babies.
Speaker 6: Though well they grew up to be beautiful people.
Speaker 3: I don't think any of them were as ugly as
what this baby was though, Because according to this the
baby started growing at an incredible rate. It sprouted horned
from the top of its head and talon type of
claws that rips through the tips of its fingers. It
had leather bat like wings that unfolded from its back.
It had hair, and feathers started sprouting all over its body.
The eye began to glow red or I guess eyes
two asks. The eyes began to glow red at the
it started kind of getting larger, and the creature's snarled
up face, so it started getting bigger, even though the
face wasn't getting any bigger. The creature then brutally attacked
and killed its mother.
Speaker 6: Well that's what she gets.
Speaker 3: Then it turned its attention to the rest of the
horrified onlookers in the room. It flew at them. It
started clawing and biting, unleashing these unearthly type of shrieks
that basically went on the entire time that he was
creating this havoc. He tore the midwives limb from limb,
maiming some killing the others, and then the beasts charged
and burst it through the door into the next room
where the family was, the husband and the children that
were kind of huddled in fear, and he attacked and
killed as many of those as he possibly could.
Speaker 6: Oh that's so terrible.
Speaker 3: Well, those who found to tell the tale then watched
in horror as the beast sprinted to the chimney and
flew up the chimney and it destroyed the chimney completely,
leaving it in a pile of rubble.
Speaker 8: So he's got to be a show off in other words, apparently,
so he's just gonna kill everybody and everybody and just
do a big stunt for the finale.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So he made his way to the pine barrens,
and some will say that he's been there ever since.
Speaker 6: Really it's never like so he's never showed his ugly
face again.
Speaker 3: No, he showed his face a whole bunch of times.
That's what we're going to talk about. Otherwise we would
have a really short show.
Speaker 6: Well, that was true.
Speaker 3: That was just the background of what the story is.
I got you now, most calling the Jersey Devil, but
some calling the Leads devil because of Mother Leads.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll be careful what you wish for saying.
Speaker 3: And that's the most common story, by the way, of
what happened. There's several different stories and takes on this,
and we'll cover a you other later, but that's the
most common story. So in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries,
the Jersey Devil was spotted, I guess, sporadically throughout the
Pine Barrens area. He frightened local residents, who at the
time were brave enough to spend some time in the
vast wilderness then, and like I said, the Pine barons,
like I said, it's mostly a sandy type. It's horrible
farm and so there's really no kind of construction or
anything that goes on. Yeah, yeah, So I mean, if
you're in there, it really is a lot of space
that's nothing but trees. So you could see how that
would be spooky.
Speaker 8: So basically though, he just stayed in there. He didn't
like come out in the town, or did he.
Speaker 3: We'll get to that, dang it. It said that you
can hear unearthly whales just coming straight from the dark forest.
And there's some bogs and stuff there too, swampy kind
of bogs. So you got trees, sandy and swampy bogs.
So it's not the most you know, perfect, it's a
perfect place for something like a hidden creature to be hiding.
To be honest with you, that a slaughter of some
domesticated animals would be attributed to the Jersey Devil also
known as the Phantom of the Pines. How about that
for a cool night?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 3: Now, over the years, the legend actually has grown. It
occasionally would even step outside of the boundary of the
pines to terrorize some neighboring towns and cities. So that
answers that question.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll scare the crap out, are you.
Speaker 3: The most famous incident occurred during the week of January
sixteenth through the twenty third in nineteen oh nine. Now
we're going to gloss over this, but then we'll get
into some specifics here at the end. But early in
that week, reports started coming in from all over Delaware
Valley that strange tracks were being found in the snow.
The mysterious footprints went over and under fences.
Speaker 6: Oh that happened.
Speaker 3: I don't know, through fields and backyards and across rooftops
of houses.
Speaker 6: I wonder what the feet look like.
Speaker 3: We're going to get into that. You know, you would
think that you would know that eventually this stuff's coming.
Speaker 6: Well, I'll just do that because sometimes I might have
missed something. I just want to make sure.
Speaker 3: They were even seen in large cities like Camden and Philadelphia,
So you know, in Philadelphia is I know when we
talked to Diana, I remember she brought up to Jersey
Devil and said that the Pine Barons is actually really
close to Philadelphia. Panic immediately began to spread. People started
forming posses and several of the small towns and stuff.
The fear really heightened though, when reports of the blood
towns refusing to follow the creature's trail in a little
town called Hamilton, schools were closing, and the ones that
didn't they suffered from very low attendance. In New Jersey
and Philadelphia were the main places. But then you also
got workers because there's a lot of meals here. Obviously,
when you got a lot of pine trees and stuff,
you're going to have saw mills, yeah, and meals like that. Well,
a lot of the mills and the pine barrens were
forced to close because workers would refuse to leave their
homes and crawl through the pine bearings to get to work.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I don't blame him, so neither.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you can imagine how that could be a problem.
Now people start a spotting the Jersey Devil in Camden
and Bristol. Camden, New Jersey and Bristol Pennsylvania, saystudent cities.
Both of those cities police say they shot at it,
but they couldn't bring it down, so they either missed
it or nothing happened. Then in Camden, it apparently attacked
a social club that was having some kind of an
event or a meeting or something. But it came in
and attacked them and flew away. Now nobody was heard,
It was just that it kind of scared them, freaked
them out.
Speaker 6: So he likes big crowds.
Speaker 3: Yeah, apparently so. Now, earlier in that day he terrorized
a trolley car full of passing people. He kind of
went by it, flew by it a few times enough
to freak them out, and then he flew off from there. Now,
the witnesses that did see him then said it looked
like a large kangaroo.
Speaker 8: Root.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you'll hear a lot of when we get
into the descriptions and stuff, that's got like a horse
face and oh dang.
Speaker 6: So a lot of people saw different.
Speaker 3: Right, but mostly very similar. If you ever look up
pictures of it, you'll see it's quite a unique animal.
It's a bunch of animals mixed together. Now, there was
another trolley full of people who saw it in Burlington.
They said that when it crossed in front of the car,
it kind of licked the tracks. It licked the trolley
car tracks.
Speaker 6: What's the point of that.
Speaker 3: I have no idea. Maybe he just needed a little
iron in his body or something. Maybe it was anemic. Yeah,
but anyway, so he licked the tracks and that kind
of freaked them out, and Collins would. It apparently appeared
on the house of somebody and it was described as
an ostrich looking creature and some firemen apparently seen the
same thing. They sprayed it with a hose, but it
attacked them and then flew away. So these I mean,
but you got policemen and firemen and stuff like. These
are respectable people that are seeing this thing. Now. The
whole week people reported that their livestock, especially chickens, were
being slaughtered. The main place is this happened was in
the towns of Bridgeton and Millville. Now, later that week
it reappeared in Camden, where a woman claims that it
was trying to eat her dog. That's true, That's kind
of funny in its own right. She said that she
hit it with a broomstick and flew away. That week
in January nineteen oh nine was the most act of
the devil had been since it had been ever had
started recording sightings.
Speaker 6: Yeah, of it. What that lady thinks she was gonna
do with a broomstick?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 6: She's maybab shoving it up its but or something that
ain't gonna work.
Speaker 3: That definitely took a turn for the worst. So now
that definitely doesn't mean that the sightings have stopped. Several
stems of years are still reported even today, and many
people believe that the Jersey Devil is a real dangerous creature.
And you got other people that believe that's just a myth.
But there there's a constant stream of, you know, reports
of devil encounters every single year.
Speaker 8: I was going to say, there's sure there's an awful
lot of people seeing all this, right, that's just like
you know ten or twenty here and there.
Speaker 3: Well, most people they report seeing strange, unidentifiable prints and
the sandy soil of the pine barrens. Some say that
it looks like the footprint of a large bird. Others
say that it looks more like hoof prints.
Speaker 6: Well I could probably see that.
Speaker 3: Well, either way, it appears that it walks on two legs.
That's one of the things that people are in there.
A substantial amount of reports claim that the prints look
like cloven hoofs, which is a pretty well known description
of satan.
Speaker 8: Well, this all sounds scary to me, and I would
just assume not meeting.
Speaker 3: Well, there's still a handful of people who claim to
see the Jersey Devil himself every year. Because some people
just see the Prince, is what we're talking about. Some
people claim to see him. Most of New Jersey embraces
the New Jersey Devil in folklore. Others see it as
a safety concern, and you know, it's even cool to
the point to where the for those of you who
are hockey fans, the New Jersey Devils is the hockey
team of New Jersey and they named it after the
Jersey Devil.
Speaker 6: So that's pretty good. Ye wow.
Speaker 3: Now, for some people who were not believers, all it
really took was an encounter in the moonlight of the
forests by themselves or with a couple of people to
kind of change their whole mindset on that. They say
that a ghostly myst kind of drifts across the swamps
and you can hear an unearthly cry of some kind
of a creature kind of reverberating through the whole dark forest.
Speaker 8: Well they're brave, it's all I can say. Why anybody
would be in the forest in the dark is beyond me.
Speaker 3: Well, that's when you go camping. A lot of times
it's in the dark.
Speaker 8: That's okay, But not in that place. I wouldn't, especially
if you know there's a creature out there.
Speaker 3: But if you don't believe that there's a creature out.
Speaker 6: There, Wow, no, So I still wuldn't take my chances.
Speaker 3: Let's talk about some famous sightings. We're gonna start with this,
and we're gonna get a lot of the descriptions going
to get her going to come from these sightings. So
that's why I haven't really given a complete description other
than what was given at the birth in a couple.
But in seventeen thirty five, the former king of Spain,
Joseph Bonaparte. Does that's the name sound familiar, Yeah, that's
Napoleon Bonaparte's brother. He was he kind of forced out
of his country in Spain. He was forced out and
then he was exiled over to America. So he had
to give up his throne and everything. But while he
was here, he claimed that he was out hunting one
day into pines and one day he saw some tracks
that looked like donkey tracks. Now that was if of
a donkey walked on two feet mind.
Speaker 6: You think of that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so well, I mean he said it look like
donkey That's what he said. It looked like donkey tracks
if a donkey walked on two feet. He said, the
tracks just stopped. He followed him and they just stopped
like whatever it was took flight. So he hears this
hissing sound behind him, and he turns around and he
was actually face to face what he said, a large
wing creature with a horse like head and bird like legs.
He said he was so paralyzed that he forgot that
he even had a rifle, and he watched it fly off,
so he didn't try to shoot at it or anything.
Commodore Stephen Decatur, who was actually a captain captain in
the Revolutionary Navy, So this guy is very well respected.
He was actually in the area and was doing the
weapons tests and stuff like that because they had the cannons,
cannon balls and all that stuff. This guy was an
expert marksman with a cannon. So he was checking stuff.
He saw the devil flowing overhead, and he ordered one
of the one of the guys to shoot at it,
shoot a cannon at it. He swears up and down
that he hid it. But it's like it went straight
through it. It didn't didn't affect it whatsoever. And like
I said, and this guy, like I said, he was
an award, you know, an awarded metal whatever you call him. Decorated,
He was a decorated military in seventeen forty, a wandering missionary.
This is we're going to go back a little bit
because this is part of the stories of going But
in seventeen forty, a wandering missionary that preached from town
to town. He's supposedly exercising for one hundred years. So
from seventeen forty to eighteen forty, he was not supposed
to be seen. And you got to keep in mind
where some of these stories were coming from, like with
Buonaparte was seventeen thirty five, so it's not like this. Actually,
you know, this was right after all these sightings took place.
So he says, hey, we banish you to be gone
for one hundred years and after that was done, he
was still seen a couple of times, so I don't
know how good it really did. But the cannonball incident
and Napoleon happened right before this. Well, then go ahead,
did you have something.
Speaker 6: No, I was just gonna say, I wonder why he
thought he baned? I banished you. What makes you think
he's gonnat?
Speaker 3: I have no idea. But he wasn't seen that many
times afterwards, so that puts it to eighteen forty when
he could come back. Then he started having some sightings.
And then we're going to get in. I told you
we were going to talk more about that week of
January in nineteen oh nine, so let's get into some specifics. Saturday,
January sixteenth was the first day of the sighting of
that Week of Terror, as they called it. There was
one in Woodbury, New Jersey, and one in Bristol, Pennsylvania,
so he keeps popping up in the same cities. The
Woodbury sightings was by a gentleman by the name of
thak Causers cozz Ers. He saw a cross on the
road the Woodbury Hotel, and he said it was faster
than a car, but not as fast as a trolley,
so I don't know how fast the cars and trolley. Yeah,
it was an in between her. He said that it
had two spots of phosphorescence for eyes. Oh wow, I'm
assuming that's like reflective you know. Now, in Bristol, a
patrolman by the name of Jack Sackville, who would later
become Chief of Police of the Bristol Police Department, he
described a creature as a winged beast, but it hopped
like a bird with features of a peculiar animal. I
don't know what that means. It has features of a
peculiar animal. Its voice was like a terrible scream. It
was high pitched and nasally made up. He did say
it says had a terrible stream that fled after he
fired his gun at it. Immediately after that, E. W. Minster,
who was the postmaster of Bristol, said that he saw
it flying over the Delaware River at around two am
in the morning.
Speaker 6: That's a weird time, I mean, no.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's nocturnal. During the same week, on Tuesday, mister
and miss Nelson Evans actually woke up to an ungodly
sound in their backyard. Go cow, this is not this
is not about time podcast. If any of y'all listen
to that. You'll get that. If you listen to the
About Time podcast after we had sewn on, you'll get that. Anyway,
So they had this horrible sound in the backyard. They
stared out their bedroom window and saw this creature perched
on top of their shed. They said it was about
three and a half feet high, with a head like
a Collie dog and the face of a horse. That's
got to be it face only a mother could love.
Speaker 6: Jesus, why on all these different descriptions of this thing.
Speaker 3: It had a long neck and wings two feet long,
back legs like a crane. It had horse hoofs, and
it walked on its hind legs. It held up its
two short legs and it had paws on them.
Speaker 6: Oh stop, now that cra that's made up.
Speaker 3: He said. It didn't use its little short legs at all,
at least during the time they were watching it.
Speaker 6: I couldn't row a boat either.
Speaker 3: They they opened they opened the window and I and
I quote they yelled, shoe. It barked at them and
flew away.
Speaker 6: It barked at him, That's what they said. They alcoholics.
Speaker 3: That's kidding, now, I promise we were going to get
into a couple of the alternate stories of how this
came to be. Well, we're not going to spend a
lot of time on them because quite frankly, I'm just
not that interested in them. Let's well, like the main story,
So that's one I was focused on. One of the
alternate stories of how the creature came to be is
that Missus Leeds, or some people call her Missus Leads,
call her mother's leads. So but for this sake, Missus
Leeds refused food to a wandering gypsy. The gypsy then
cursed her in her unborn child. That's one of the
stories of how.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: There's all kinds of different stories too, Like this story.
The original he told that she had twelve kids and
this was the thirteenth, But there are stories that say
it was the eighth. There's some that says it was
the fourth. There's some to say it was the sixth.
It's all over the place. Yeah, put the dick away,
that's all I'm saying, you don't need it. Another version
is that a different woman, not Missus Leeds at all.
She was impregnated by a British soldier and gave birth
to the devil himself. Now, most people believe that that
story was just revolutionary war propaganda because back then everybody
hated the British that were over in the States, so
they considered the British to be the devil. So just
being impregnated by a British soldier result took so but
that was just more of a bullshit type story that
people would.
Speaker 6: Tell, like the British are coming it.
Speaker 3: Also in the Pines. Also when the Pines supposedly is
haunted by a spirit of a pirate from the infamous
Captain Kit Crew that they killed him on purpose so
he could his spirit could overwatch some treasure that was buried.
Speaker 8: Oh wow, how do people come up with these crazy stories?
I have no idea, but they're good and interesting.
Speaker 3: That story was probably pirated. Oh that's one of those
Dad jokes people. Can you know what. I never got
accused of telling Dad's jokes till we started this. Yeah,
but these jokes are so lame because that's the only
ones I can put up.
Speaker 6: Mouth was kind of lame, but I'm used to lame,
so it's okay.
Speaker 3: So anyway, that is the story of the Jersey Devil.
Speaker 6: That was really cool.
Speaker 8: That's scary to think that that creature can just come
down and tear you apart with everything.
Speaker 3: And ooh, that is horrible.
Speaker 6: It's terrible. I mean, if you just envisioned it in
your head, it's just awful.
Speaker 3: I think it's the whole part of this audio. So
you can't envision it in your head.
Speaker 10: I know.
Speaker 8: Well, I had a dream last night that we had
giant sized lobsters in our house. Not every house had him,
but so everybody was trying to hide from him, or
you know, just keep looking around and make sure they
didn't see him because if they grabbed you, the lobster
drug you to hell.
Speaker 6: Now, what kind of stupid dream is that?
Speaker 3: No comment dream? Right?
Speaker 6: It was so realistic too. I will never eat lobster again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe that when I said I wish you
wouldn't at the prices that it cost us every time
we go to Red.
Speaker 6: Lobster, No, that it was so good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you like seafood, I do love seafood, but
I don't I know, you don't. I get to go
spend a fortune on the mill I.
Speaker 6: Don't really care to have, but you do because you
love me.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 6: That's the truth and I appreciate it.
Speaker 3: All Right, let's talk. Let's tell Paul's story.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, let's do.
Speaker 3: This is actually a pretty cool story. It's not very long,
but it has some really cool features to it, so
I thought it would be cool. Now, Paul wanted to
remain anonymous, so.
Speaker 6: His name really isn't Paul.
Speaker 3: No, that's Paul. But that's it. That's a we're telling.
So and I know Paul is not a really common name,
so you'll probably be able to figure out who and
where this is. Anyway, this takes place about ten years
ago in an unknown city. See what I did there.
So Paul and his wife were invited to a housewoman
party to some friends of Paul's. So Paul's friend and
his wife actually bought a house on the south side
of the before said unknown town. Now, during the couple's
move to their new home, they kind of broke all
their dishes that they had so they need well, it's
just accidents. Oh, So during this time, they broke their dishes,
so Paul and his wife got them dishes and an
ice cream cake for a gift. It's a fitting gift,
that's very nice. So when Paul and his wife arrive,
they go in, they put the dishes and the ice
cream cake on the counter. There's my first discrepancy in
the story. Should an ice cream cake go in a freezer? No?
I mean, I thought, isn't it going to elt?
Speaker 6: Well, it depends.
Speaker 8: Maybe they were gonna have the ice cream cake in
just a little bit, and you don't want to put
it in freezer because then you have to wait for
the throw.
Speaker 6: Out a little bit.
Speaker 3: But that's not gonna be the case, because I'm gonna
tell you.
Speaker 7: They're not well.
Speaker 6: Yeah, let me know the rest of the story.
Speaker 2: Then.
Speaker 3: Okay, So Paul and his wife, they they're hooked up
with that sound it bad? They're not hooked up with
the other couple. They're sitting with the other couple in
the living room and they're decided they're gonna watch a movie.
It's one of those post apocalyptic type movies. So it
was really dark and really bleak. Okay, about ten minutes
into the movie, they hear a loud crash coming from
the kitchen. Now, this is why I said that the cake.
I keep dwelling on his cake. This is why I
say the cake should have probably been a freezer because
they were watching a movie. Oh, I get it, So
they had, you know, so that if they're watching a
movie that last probably an hour and a half, I
can't help but think that cake's gonna be mushed by
that time. But that's neither here nor there, has nothing
to do with the story. I just hate to see
a good ice cream cake go to waste. You know
how I feel about ice cream cake. So about ten
minut's in this movie, they hear this loud crash coming
from the kitchen. All of them rush in to see
what happened. Now, they didn't able to turn the lights on.
They just used the light that was coming from outside,
and when they opened the door, the light that came
in from the living room. When they opened the door,
and what light they had illuminates the kitchen. They can
see that the cake and the dishes were all still
sitting on the counter. So they just assumed that this
noise had to have come from outside and they just
let it go. They go back I don't know, So
they go back in. They started going to finish watching
a movie. About twenty minutes later, they hear an even
louder crash. This time they know it definitely came from
the kitchen.
Speaker 6: Did you turn a light on this time?
Speaker 3: I don't have that knowledge, but I'm going to assume
they did.
Speaker 6: Man, I would have.
Speaker 3: So they go in, the dishes still on the counter,
the cakes on the counter. They look around. They I
don't notice anything that could have made that noise have.
Speaker 6: Been broken, so nothing was out of place right.
Speaker 3: However, upon further inspection, the ice cream cake that was
still on the counter, still sitting out, possibly melting, had
smeared into the icing. I am in hell shut up,
and the hell was spelled h L.
Speaker 6: No way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't stand an illiterate ghost.
Speaker 6: Are you serious that to set on that cake?
Speaker 3: Paul and his wife made an excuse and got the
hell out of there.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, that's creepy.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: Over the next few weeks, his friends actually continued to
hear those loud crashes and experienced several cold spots in
the house. Never could find out what was going on
with it.
Speaker 8: I cannot believe that that's what that cake said.
Speaker 6: I would have been like, what the heck I would
have had to I don't even know what I would do.
Speaker 3: It'd be funny if they had that done at the
baker whatever wherever they had to. If they actually had
it done to take to them and they didn't notice it,
that would be funny. So anyway, this family, they actually
sold the house shortly after all this.
Speaker 6: Oh I'm sure.
Speaker 3: Now about five years later, his friend was actually doing
some research online and he found out that a vicious
gangster actually owned that house in the fifties. So that
may be the answer.
Speaker 8: Oh wow, as to what was going on by taking
five years later to investigate.
Speaker 3: I wonder why the didn't just sniffing my sleep pants
and carrying them off.
Speaker 6: Oh, I don't know. That is a good story.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought that was a really cool story. And
Paul in Unknown Town, thank you for sure.
Speaker 6: Gosh, thank you. I hope you have like a bunch more?
Do you have a bunch more?
Speaker 3: I wonder I think he would have probably gave it
to us if you had a bunch more. But while
we're on the subject, we are this coming week we
need to start recording some listeners story episodes for our
Patreon account. So if you have a story and would
like to tell it on the air yourself, please send
us a message on Facebook or Twitter so we can
get that set up, because I need about five stories.

to get about five stories to put on the November
first episode.

Speaker 3: Yeah, we love to interact to with you guys. That's
one of the few times we get to actually talk

But if you, if you ever do get those shows,
you'll see that we have a lot of fun. We're
it's a little more laid back than what this show is,
if you can even imagine that. But it's a little
more laid back, and we actually the We kind of
converse back and forth with listeners and they tell us
their story and we just have fun with it. It's
a it's a very fun show, and we get a
lot of people tell us that they love when we
do that. So it's it's similar to some of the
other stories you've heard out there, or the shows out
there that where they take call ins and stuff like that.
It's it's pretty close to that.
Speaker 8: So I love hearing your all stories. It's just, oh
my gosh, it's just we look forward to it all
the time, So come on, you guys, call us or
send us an email or something and get those stories

Speaker 6: So chick, We really appreciate you, guys, and I just
love y'all. So, and I don't know what else.
Speaker 3: Well, we're going to end the show with Josh's story
that I told you about in the beginning. So Josh
called us up and he told us his story, and man,
he's one of you guys for real. He's a listener
that loves the show. He's had some experiences and you know,
he had some very nice things to say, not off
the air, but he had talked to us about you know,
he's went through some difficult times in life like most
of us have, and he told us that the show
has actually helped him a lot in the past six
eight months. And we wanted to say a big thank
you to Josh for that. Josh and his whole family
is listening to the story. He got their blessing to
be able to tell it, and like I said, he
was extremely nervous.
Speaker 6: And that's my son's name. That's a good name, Josh.
Speaker 3: I think you guys are going to like this. And
this is kind of an example of what we do
on Patreon when you hear these are the kind of
stories that we got on there. So let's give Josh
a listen real quick, all right, this is one that
I think you guys are really going to be interested
in I've only heard bits and pieces myself, but trust
me when I tell you what I heard was enough
to invite this gentleman on the show to be able
to tell his story. Because if the whole story is
anything as intriguing as what the bits and pieces I
got are, I think everyone is just going to be
fascinated by this. So I want to welcome to the show,
Josh from Campbellsville, Kentucky. Josh, how are you doing tonight?
Speaker 10: Done?
Speaker 7: All right now?
Speaker 2: Are you? Jerry?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 3: I can't complain. So I understand that your story takes
a lot of twists and turns, and it goes on
for years, and it started more or less? Am I
right in a cemetery?
Speaker 2: Yes, sir?
Speaker 3: Well, Josh, why don't you tell us how this little
story that started out so long ago, how it actually started,
and just take us along this journey?
Speaker 7: Okay, Well, it started whenever being and some of my
friends from school from high school decided to go on
a ghost hunt. There's several places in Canelsville that you
can go to, but we decided to go to a
graveyard at TEB's Men, which is a Confederate soldier graveyard.
I was kind of an idiot and I posed in
front of a grave with a flag out at sixteen
years old, being stupid, disrespectful, and had pictures taken. And
as that was going on, my future wife was was
setting off on the side and she started bawling her
eyes out whenever she saw a shadow of a person
sending by the benches along the side. That night, whenever
I got home, I went and I laid down in
my bed, and I.
Speaker 2: Was fast asleep. My little girl live across the across the.
Speaker 7: Hallway, and in the middle of the night, I heard
my doorknob start to turn. I thought it was him
because he coming in there like every now and then,
because he was scared.
Speaker 2: But whenever I raised up to look, it was nobody's
sitting there.
Speaker 7: And my pillow flew up from underneath my head, and
my covers were across the room. So I'm scared to death.
I run downstairs in my underwear. I make it to
the bottom of the steps. My dad comes out. His
bedrooms was.
Speaker 2: To the right.
Speaker 7: As soon as you hit the bottom of the steps,
he came out with his eyes wide open. He was
solid white, he was. He was scared to death. He
come out and asked what was.
Speaker 2: Going on, and I told him, and.
Speaker 7: He said, that's really weird because at the same time
that I guess that was happening, at the foot of
my bed, there was a mist that was like a
blue he said, he said, like a bluish purple miss
at the like at the bottom of his bed, and
the shadow of a cross on the wall. And I'm I'm
like freaking out, like you know, because of what happened
to me, what happened to him.
Speaker 2: It's like putting two and two together. It's it's scary,
it's it's crazy.
Speaker 7: But from then on, we heard footsteps all the time.
We heard knocks, we heard doors slamming, we heard all
kinds of different things. There was one day that my
dad was folding laundry downstairs and there was an old
an old shower shower curtain or a shower ride that
was downstairs, because we had a shower that was down there.
It's an old house. It was a built nineteen forty seven,
and he was folding laundry and the curtains started spinning
around circles, or the hangers were spinning around seris, I'm sorry.
After that, things kept on, you know, the whole footsteps
and knocks and bangs and whatever. I had an old
radio upstairs in my room. It wouldn't work, it didn't
have batteries if you didn't plug it in. And one
night I was a sleeping bed and it come on.
Speaker 2: It wasn't plugged in, and I crawled down to the.
Speaker 7: Bottom of my bed and I listened to it for
like thirty or forty five minutes. And it was not
a language I've ever heard in my entire life. It
was it was like crazy.
Speaker 2: It was I don't know what it was.
Speaker 7: Scared scared me enough that I went downstairs and slept
on the couch. Following that, I found out my senior
year of high school that I was going to be
a daddy. Uh I played baseball. I decided to pretty
much just leave the force life behind and and go,
you know.
Speaker 2: Like provide for my family.
Speaker 7: I went to uh we on the printing shop in Camelsville.
I had worked there since I was like six years old,
and you know, like putting books together and all kinds
of other stuff.
Speaker 2: But uh I was just wanted to provide. It was
it was a hard move for my life.
Speaker 7: But I got married one week after I graduated high
school and.
Speaker 2: We were setting out one night after.
Speaker 7: We got married, which we got married, you know, a
couple months later or uh June the fifth, It was
exactly a couple months later.
Speaker 2: We were laying in bed and we.
Speaker 7: Were just listening to people talk upstairs. It was like,
I mean, plans day.
Speaker 2: It was crazy. And this farmhouse was like one hundred
years old.
Speaker 7: There was a door that went to the laundry room
from the outside, and we used to listen and there
would be the door would open and then shut, and
then footsteps and then footsteps out and door slam, and
it scared the absolute crap.
Speaker 2: Out of us. Yeah, it was pretty wild. So we
decided to move. She was eight months pregnant.
Speaker 7: We moved back into town in Campbellsville, and I guess
maybe two or three weeks later after we moved down.
Do you know what a bottle rock is like where
you washed bottles and set them on there.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, there was one night after my daughter was
born that I walked in the kitchen to make like
prefixed bottles for you know, for her, in case you
woke up and I was about the refrigerator and the
battle wreck flew across across the the counter and almost
hit me, and I'm like, what in the world is
going on here? So I ran back and told her
what happened, and she was kind of, you know, like
freaked out of course, like you know any person would be,
and she kind of brushed it off.
Speaker 2: I didn't.
Speaker 7: I was scared to death. I'm gonna be honest with you.
I was scared of death.
Speaker 2: Uh. And it wasn't. It wasn't very long after that.
Speaker 7: We had some wind chimes that we hung up in
the kitchen and we were sitting in there in the
living room, which is like right in front of the kitchen,
and they just started chimming like unnaturally. I mean, it
wasn't like there was a breeze going to the house.
It wasn't like you know, I mean, it was like
they were sitting outside. It was it was like scared
of death. We after that decided to, you.
Speaker 2: Know, like, if anything was gonna happen after that, we
were going to move. So one night we.
Speaker 7: Me and one of my friends went to my mom
and dad's house and left my daughter and my wife
over there, uh for the night. Because they were on
to bed and they were they were sitting on the
couch wherever we left.
Speaker 2: And when I got home, or when iver got to
my mom and dad's house, UH got a phone call
immediately said that the.
Speaker 7: Lights were flickering on and off and doors were opening
and shutting, and so we immediately ran over there, and
sure enough, as soon as we got over there, they
were I mean it was it was like the scariest
thing ever seen in my life. Walked on the door
and the lights were going on and off and doors
slamming shut.
Speaker 2: So we sent my.
Speaker 7: Daughter and my my wife at the time out to
the car.
Speaker 2: I mean, my daughter was only you know, like a
few weeks old.
Speaker 7: So so we get some clothes go say it with
my mom's So me and my friend went up to
uh to my daughter's bedroom, and it was really creepy
just even walking in there. I mean it was, you know,
lights flickering on and off. And we walked in there
and there was a porcelain egg that was on her
dresser where you put the first curl or first tooth or.
Speaker 2: Whatever in and I was trying to get close for
my little girl.
Speaker 7: And it flew in between me and him and hit
the wall and shattered and scared the absolute shit out
of butther of us.
Speaker 2: So I just reached in our closet.
Speaker 7: And I grabbed like I don't know how many pairs
of clothes and just ripped them off the off the
hangars and ran outside, and uh we went back to
my mom and dad's.
Speaker 2: It took me until like one p thirty two.
Speaker 7: O'clock, you know, in the afternoon to go back over there,
because I was scared death.
Speaker 2: And we went back over there. My daughter's room was
like completely like ripped the shreds.
Speaker 7: I mean it was it was like it was horrible,
like a tornado coum through there.
Speaker 2: It was horrible. There were a b the diapers.
Speaker 7: That had been opened up and ripped apart and like
throwing all over the room. Dresser flipped over, lamping across
the room. And immediately I called my mom and dad.
I'm like, you have to come and see this. So
they come over there, and my dad as soon as
he got there, he grabbed me by the shoulder and
took me back to my daughter's bedroom and shut the
door and he looked at me and he said, Josh,
are you doing this?
Speaker 2: Are you making this happen, Are you like putting on
a show?
Speaker 7: And at the exact same time he said that, he
looked over, and I looked over and there was.
Speaker 2: A baby swing with a Winnie Pooh doll in it,
and it.
Speaker 7: Was swinging back and forth. Like I'm not talking about like,
you know, like barely swinging. I mean, it was like
big time swinging. And he looked at me and he.
Speaker 2: Said, Josh, I apologize. I'm sorry that I aven asked
you that.
Speaker 7: So later on that evening, my mom, of course, she's
she's a big she loves her son, blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: You know, she had a bunch of friends over to
my house to pray. You know, do you know what
a prayer warrior is, Jerry, did.
Speaker 3: You say a prayer warrior?
Speaker 7: Yes, sir, yes, Well there was a bunch of those
that was praying for us, and they said Jesus at
the middle of a round.
Speaker 2: Table, which my kitchen table was round. And at the.
Speaker 7: Time that they had called, I hadn't want to go
pick up a friend and he had a necklace with
a crucifix on it across and we had just made
it back to the house and I was into the
front door and walked in and he was getting ready
walking behind me, and it was ripped off.
Speaker 2: His neck hit the ground. It was I don't know,
It's a very emotional moment.
Speaker 7: But we made it through all that, and a couple
of days later we had a preacher come over and
bless the house and bless us, anointed us with oil,
you know, the holy oil above.
Speaker 9: Each each doorway, and on my head, my wife said,
and daughter's head, and then we walked around my hound
like the walls of Jericho.
Speaker 2: You know. Seven days Jerko fell.
Speaker 7: But after that things kind of calmed down, you know,
chilled out for two or three years.
Speaker 2: It was two years.
Speaker 7: Me and my friend want swimming after all this right here,
my me and my wife got a divorce, and.
Speaker 2: I was dating somebody else at the time, and me
and my friend want swimming.
Speaker 7: Out of Green Ver late and we come back and
I took a nap on the couch and she come over.
Speaker 2: When I was asleep and couldn't wake me up.
Speaker 7: Well, she called my grandpa because she couldn't wake me up.
And the only thing I remember is laying down and
taking them out and then waking up strapped to a
stretcher while I was told afterwards was I woke up
and I pretty much attacked my grandpa, in which I'm
not I'm not proud of. But he said I was
speaking in tongues and I put my hand on his
forehead or he put his hand on my forehead while
I was trying to put.
Speaker 2: My hands around his neck, and.
Speaker 7: He said a prayer, and he said, I hit the ground,
and the next thing I knew, I woke up on
a stretcher, like strapped to all bloody. After I got
home at night, I found out that I had broken
every mirror in the house and that's where all the
blood come from.
Speaker 2: And it it's hard to talk about.
Speaker 10: It's They took me to a psychiatrist like I had
known what I was doing, and they found nothing wrong
with me at all.
Speaker 2: And well, I mean that that was pretty much the
last thing that happened.
Speaker 7: After that happened two weeks, like two or three weeks
after that, I went and I got.
Speaker 2: A Saint Michael tattoo and I actually had it.
Speaker 7: I had it done, uh with a picture that's actually
really cool and it says Saint Michael the Archangel the
penis and battle and has done the Latin, so, I mean,
not much has happened since then. There was one incident
where my sister was in.
Speaker 11: My old room and it was back whenever we had
the old TVs, you know, the great big backs and stuff,
and her and her friends were setting in front of
it watching TV.
Speaker 2: It was ripped off the wall pretty much. It was
gone off with so much force that it liked broth
cordon half. It wasn't even ripped out of the wall
like growth cordon half. Wow.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: And the front door of my parents' house it's like
a real tight squeeze.
Speaker 2: I mean, you can't. You got to like to shove
it to slam it.
Speaker 7: My daughter and friends were sitting in here one night
and the door was open and it slammed all the
way shut, and she ran and told my dad and
he coming here, and he tried.
Speaker 2: For like forty five minutes just to slam the door.
He couldn't do it.
Speaker 7: So, I mean, I don't know if there's still a
little bit of things going on here, but I'm sure
it sounds evil as.
Speaker 2: What was going off me. But yeah, I've had a
pretty rough experience in my life.
Speaker 3: Well, buddy, I hope it stays away because so when's
how long has it been since the last occurrence?
Speaker 7: Well, I mean, with me, it was back in two
thousand and seven.
Speaker 2: It was my last.
Speaker 7: Actually, that's whenever I was speaking in tongues that tells
you anything.
Speaker 3: That's that's incredible. So any any thoughts as to what
all this? I mean, I know we started off with
the cemetery situation, but.
Speaker 7: And I apologize for that once more because that was
very disrespectful of me and I was a stupid young teenager.
Speaker 3: But I mean, do you think that was just a
coincidence or do you think something has followed you throughout?
Speaker 7: I don't know, because that very same night, and I
didn't mention this earlier, but the way that the roads
are here in Canbellsville, out in the country, they're all
you know, kirby and high. You know, you're going uphills, downhills, uphills, downhills.
And earlier that night we had went to a place
called Crabbaby Bridge, in which you know, there's one of
those and like every single camp in America, you know,
where you pulled the car up, you turn it off
and you can hear babies crying or whatever. But we
were heading back up a hill called Muldraw Hill, and
there was something that crossed the road, and I'm not
shitting you. It had a wingspan that was probably eight
or nine feet long. Because because whenever we get to
the top of the hill, every person in my car
was crying.
Speaker 2: They were all girls. It was it was bad. So
we pulled over.
Speaker 7: And that's before we went to Te's Bend, which were
my experience where I thought it started.
Speaker 2: But there's been a lot of experiences out there too, though.
Speaker 7: It's not just I mean, there's a lot of places
here in Camelsville that that's that's considered haunted.
Speaker 2: You know. Have you ever heard of Spring Tunnel?
Speaker 3: No, that's a new one.
Speaker 2: I mean, oh, you're gonna check that out.
Speaker 7: There is a witch of Spring Tunnel.
Speaker 3: Heard of this, you know, It's it's amazing though when
you when people say that all the time to us,
But I think what it is is, I mean they're
we're depending on what city you're in or what the
state you're in some things like like when you're in
the state of Kentucky, obviously like you are. Everybody knows Waverley.
Everybody knows Bobby Mackey's right, other than that it's pretty
much you know what's close to you, right and everything else,
because like you said, there's like a crab baby bridge
almost everywhere, and like, yes there is even you mentioned
Mouldra hill. I mean south of Louisville, going towards Radcliffe
Fort Knox area, there's a Mouldra here at the hill
there too, So it's just like yeah, yeah, right outside
of Fortnite. So but yeah, so that's that's what it is, though,
is these things are you grow up if you're from
the area, you grow up here in these things all
the time. But you get outside of a fifty mile radius,
most people probably haven't heard of it.
Speaker 7: Well, the thing with a Frondent tunnel though, the guy
that owned that, the guy and his wife that owned that,
they bought that land from my great grandfather. And uh,
there's there's like there's records of the actual the well,
I guess you would call witch Nancy Bass.
Speaker 2: She's in the whatever you call it, the census or whatever.
But I mean there's all kinds of stories about her.
Speaker 7: She supposedly once turned a guy into a donkey and
running to running to a dance. It's there's all kinds
of crazy stuff. It's it's it's really cool stuff. And
I had some friends that went to kamusel University after
high school and actually did a documentary on it.
Speaker 2: There's a three part.
Speaker 7: Series on YouTube and it's it's it's really all awesome.
Speaker 2: It's it's really cool.
Speaker 7: It explains a lot and actually has the guy that
that bought the land from my grandpa on it diding
like an interview.
Speaker 2: It's really cool, really cool. Y'all check it out.
Speaker 3: I probably will do. I mean, I mean, I'm into
anything local, so I mean I love all these local stories,
and that's that's something we're going to start getting a
little more into as we get into. Uh.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 3: I really like the end of this year and next year.
The problem is, obviously, you get into some of these
these stories and there's just not a whole lot to tell.
I mean, it's literally a five minute story. So that's that.
Those are the types of stories that we're going to
be looking at for like the Patreon stories and stuff.
Cause I think we did one for Patreon last night
that was a New Hampshire story and we immediately had
somebody write us on Patreon and say, hey, I'm from
New New Hampshire. This is exciting, So that's that'll be
fun to start mixing some little, small local stories that
usually don't make any kind of these podcasts or YouTube
videos and just try to get them out there right
right greatly.
Speaker 2: I love y'all show.
Speaker 3: We appreciate that.
Speaker 2: We uh, I mean.
Speaker 7: I look forward to that every single Sunday, every single
Sunday Monday morning I wake up.
Speaker 2: That's why I listened to you on the way to
work my first two breaks. That's what it is. It's
it's horror stories.
Speaker 3: We thank you so much. And I know you've you've
written us a few times over the past four or
five months, and and uh it's taken a while to
be able to get you on, but uh, I guess
better late than never, and finally got everybody's schedule to
work out. But I'm glad you took the time. You know,
I know you were extremely nervous about telling the story
and you said you don't want it, you know, I
know you said you hadn't told very many people. So
we're kind of honored that you chose us to actually
have us as like a little coming out party. And
I'm sure the listeners enjoyed hearing it.
Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate that. Jerry.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you so much for being a listener and
a Patreon supporter as well. And thank you. Let me
tell everybody in your family hih and that we were
thankful that they allowed you to share the story with us.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you so much, Jerry.
Speaker 8: And see how cool of a story was that it
was very good story, Josh, Thank you for sharing that
with us.
Speaker 6: Honey.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, you didn't come across too nervous. I mean,
I didn't think you could really tell it all in it.
I know you were nervous, but it didn't come across
that way, well, not at all. Now, with that being said,
a couple of quick things I want to end the
show with. First of all, thank you guys for all
the kind of words that you give us every week.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we do appreciate it, especially me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we get like I said, we occasionally get somebody
say something very meaning hateful and I know, hey, we
put ourselves out there. If we agree to do something
publicly like we do, you got to take the good
with the bad, yeah, and we're prepared to do that.
But me, as a husband, I get frustrated if somebody
picks on the woman that I love more than anything
in this world, and if I get frustrated with that,
people are just gonna have to deal with that, because
if you make insight ults that have to do with
somebody's voice or their smarts, intelligence, any of that stuff,
that's just uncalled for. If you don't like the show,
write a review by all means and say, hey, I
just don't like the show. You know, we had one
a while back that I thought it was kind of
off a little bit, but it said to believe it
or not, that we don't do very much research on
the show, that they just they're just it wouldn't very
deep where I feel like that. You know, hey, we
do a lot of research, but we didn't bring it
up because everybody's got to write to their opinion, and
that's that's a valid opinion on the show. If you
don't like the research we do, hey bring it up
if you don't like the fact. We had somebody else
that on one of the Rock and Roll shows that
he didn't think the points we brought up on some
of the religious parts of the Stereoid of Heaven, he
didn't think they were valid points from a Christian standpoint,
that's that's what you that's the kind of negatives you
should really or you know, leaving reviews, but to make
comments about people's voices or their lack of intelligence in
your opinion, or the fact that they're nasally, I just
think that's that's uncalled for. That's more of an attack,
and I get frustrated. So I kind of lashed out
a little bit on Twitter. Most of you seen it.
We have no intentions on not doing this show. I
was just extremely frustrated, as any of you would be
if the person that you love was attacked verbally. So
I love you, honey, I love you too, baby. We'll
see you guys next week.
