Speaker 7: My friends? I'm doing great. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 4: Look, I can't describe it looking just very hmmm. I
should I say this. It's you'd just like to would
have a couple of beers with you right now. Okay,
let's go with this. But that's how you look at
it very much.
Speaker 7: I am having a beer with you, guys.
Speaker 4: Very cute. Okay, what the hell is that?
Speaker 2: What is that?
Speaker 9: So?
Speaker 7: Okay, long story, I had to go downstate over the
weekend and there's a really great brewery on the way.
It's in the Catskills. It's called Upward Brewing or a brewery.
It's just I always just call it Upward. I don't
really know what the name is, but not sponsored or anything.
It's really freaking good. The place is beautiful. They have
hiking trails there, which is like my big appeal, and
so I figured I was already going downstate. I was
gonna drive right past it. So I stopped and I
got I got some of these and I got myself
a T shirt. It's a big beer. It's just a
big one.
Speaker 4: I mean, it is a huge beer. So you're usually
when people say they go downstate, that means going to
is in. Should we ask you why you went to Well.
Speaker 7: I can't discuss that. My lawyer advised me then probably
not a good idea.
Speaker 4: Sounds like visiting someone in prison. Well, okay, raeven thanks
for tuning as we appreciate it. Thank you. So we
are all here, okay, and we are testing out some
new special effects, and I just let's hear that music again.
Now I'll see what happens.
Speaker 6: Okay, let's see that.
Speaker 4: I'm not that one.
Speaker 6: I didn't want to do that. Let's see. Let me
go back.
Speaker 4: Here we go, here we go. All right, let's go
gonna hit it soon? Yeah, baby, that would.
Speaker 6: Yeah to stop it because keep going, it's good. Keep going, man.
This might make a noise one okay, yeah, it might
sound less NPR.
Speaker 4: No, No, it's not good. It's the room.
Speaker 6: Because I the other there were two microphones on in here,
and one of them is aiming away from me, so
maybe it was giving you some kind of reverb through that.
But this little guy's got all kinds of sound effects.
So cool.
Speaker 4: We should start the show every night with that. That song.
I have a little dance number like Ellen Degeneress who
just completely disappeared that she wasn't a nice person, and
that's what happened.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's stuff here that I don't even I'm afraid
to even go.
Speaker 4: All right, don't yeah, because all of a sudden, us
and we're gone, Why don't we do this?
Speaker 6: Then?
Speaker 4: Why don't we pivot, as the kids say, to top ten?
We have a top ten and then coming up later
on Switch has Report, Raven has Report, and our good
friend Susie Pastille will be calling us and uh so

Andy Mercer talking about the Enfield Poulter Geist.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, did you fly him over from the UK?
Speaker 3: We're trying to figure out how to open up a
portal from New England to Old England.
Speaker 12: It's just too expensive to fly him out here.
Speaker 4: Yep, I could see that much cheaper.
Speaker 7: The portals don't have customs, you know, and you don't
need like a visa, so that's probably the best way to.
Speaker 2: Do, as long as he doesn't end up in debuque
or something.
Speaker 4: Well, you never know.
Speaker 13: Uh.

Speaker 14: Man, So I wish I had those I got like
Griba McIntire lips. You know where she's got, Like there's
nothing on top. I get, like the bottom one's fine,
but the top one is just like you need like
binoculars and you still can't find it.
Speaker 4: Huh, I'm still, I'm still I don't shock or whatever.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 2: What I'd like to say is, uh, we're still no
matter how old we get, we're still learning.
Speaker 4: We're still learning, right, switchy.
Speaker 7: This is an educational podcast after all.
Speaker 4: How okay, So I don't should I ask what d
s l's. How can you tell someone is ds l's because.
Speaker 7: I got big, big, like juicy lips that you know,
I mean, they look good around it. I don't know.
Speaker 6: If I walk up to a woman at a bar
ever you know she has d s L. Is she
gonna slap me in the face?
Speaker 7: I mean, if she's cool. Probably not, because like if
somebody said that to me, which they wouldn't, but like
if if I had them and they said it, I'd
be like, l O L that's hilarious.
Speaker 4: Huh.
Speaker 6: You know, well, up to a woman and ask that
and they would smile and kind of they would or
no or thanks for noticing not punching.
Speaker 7: One one could totally off.
Speaker 6: We would be beaten to a.
Speaker 7: P I don't think you'd be beaten by.
Speaker 9: What he means.
Speaker 4: Shot. Wow, So what's OL mean?
Speaker 7: Then? Well, that's just laugh out loud that I know.
I'm going I'm geriatric, So I like to spell the
whole thing.
Speaker 4: Hello, wel oh, please the trombone on that last joke.
Speaker 2: Next time I'm in a bar and there are ladies
in there, I'm going to walk up and say, day
sales outstanding.
Speaker 7: Maybe you'll know exactly what you're talking about, Steve.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe not.
Speaker 4: Okay, funny now.
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 4: And yeah, well there's only thirty seven other people down
there with you, so wow, okay, interesting, and so let's
go back to well we're on the switch for the moment. Well,
there is on switch switch today. You sent me a
picture of your breakfast, so I know what it was,
But why don't you tell everybody what did you have?
And you're on the comeback trail? Let me put it
that way. Okay, what did you have for breakfast this morning?
Speaker 2: I went to Tutor's Biscuit World this morning, and I
didn't know what I wanted, so I got what they
call the super Breakfast, which has a little bit of everything. Now,
on my defense, I do actually have watched some of
my cavalies a little bit, not to you know, not
to the point where it would be obsessive, obviously, But
I didn't eat the whole thing. But what the super
breakfast involves our eggs, you know, some kind of meat.
Speaker 10: I got bacon. I got my eggs over easy. It
includes potatoes with gravy and in a biscuit and coffee.
Speaker 2: Of course. Now it also includes spiced apples or whatever
it was. I don't do apples, so I ring the
ink on the apples. But they gave me an extra egg,
so I had three eggs over easy. Bacon.
Speaker 10: Did not eat the I only ate half the biscuit.
I did not eat all the potatoes and gravy, but
I did eat all the eggs and bacon.
Speaker 4: Wow. Wow, And this is from my guy at least, you.
Speaker 2: Know, I imagine.
Speaker 10: I mean, I still, you know, I'm still not going
to be on the uh no dollars for care thing.
But I didn't consume all the calories that it says
up there on the wall.
Speaker 4: You know, it's all less like yeah, what was that?
Speaker 9: So?
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, Well I just want to ask you, when
you're not watching your calories, what would you eat two
super breakfasts? Oh god, no, you have a big lunch.
Speaker 2: Well that's you know, the right, I would have just
a smaller they had, like a you know, like a
standard breakfast or maybe one pancake and bacon or something
like that.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, yeah, I haven't had a pancake in six years.
As it turns out, six years I count the dice.
So anyway, wow, so what we have. Let me just
go back to Susie for a second. What's new with you, Susie? Anything?
Speaker 12: No, not a whole lot. Like I said, Andy and
I are trying to open a portal.
Speaker 4: Yes, working on that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we to Steve's earlier point, we've decided we're
fine if it's it only ends up being a one
portal to the spirit world or something and we can't
get back.
Speaker 12: It's just like a Yolo type situation. I'm just gonna
go with it.
Speaker 4: Oyeah.
Speaker 7: If that's the way you go, that's where you go.
Speaker 4: That's sweet the way you go.
Speaker 2: So you may want to watch that Twilight episode Little
Girl lost again.
Speaker 4: She never comes back. So but it's good for that update.
But what I was just wondering is, you know, how's
the how's the paranormal romance going?
Speaker 12: Oh it's I haven't scared him away yet. Okay, that's
a good sign. Maybe something's wrong with him.
Speaker 4: No, you know, I don't say that peably not.
Speaker 7: I think all men are perfect.
Speaker 4: This should be special red flags, special effect, there l something. Yes, yea,
all men are perfect. Not quite that one. But okay,
you haven't scared him away. That's a point in the
right direction. Good have you been on? So when we
talked you the last time, you wouldn't you would You
were going to go with him two weeks before that,
and you had been on six states in two weeks.
What's the frequency these days?
Speaker 3: Well, you know, with work schedules, it's and he lives
so this is the one downside.
Speaker 12: And he lives in Providence, which don't hold that against.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, all right, we'll try. That's when you need
the trombone. They have my friend, but yeah, just nicely
doesn't live on Federal Hill in Providence. Who gives that joke?
Speaker 12: But yeah, hopefully I'm seeing him this weekend.
Speaker 4: Well, okay, Providence, Rhode Island. There's a very small city
in the smallest state in the in the country. Yet
somehow the whole place is like wicked corrupt, right, but
nice restaurants down there, very very you know, they have
a lot of nice restaurants down in this place.
Speaker 12: They have the worst pizza in the world an island.
Speaker 4: Really yeah, it doesn't surprise me at all. Hmm yeah,
why no, wait, what do you mean? No, Province Art
Island is there's a lot of Italiano's down there. Why
wouldn't they have good pizza. It seemed like they'd have
really good pizza. No, no, corrupt, Yeah, further.
Speaker 3: You get from New Haven the worst the pizza is.
I don't understand it.
Speaker 4: Have when Okay, we're talking maybe a little bit too
local here, but why would New Haven have Did we
talk about this before? Why would have New Haven have
the best pizza? That doesn't make any sense. It would
be the north end of Boston to be in New
York somewhere. You know, I hate that Philly Deep did
the Chicago Deep dish stuff. I won't even look at that.
Speaker 3: Why New York pizza isn't far off from New Haven pizza?
There's only like a subtle difference.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, can you tell us what it is?
Speaker 12: The it's a little bit more of.
Speaker 3: So New York is very it's thin crust, right, yes,
but it's the amount of time that the dough sits
and the New Haven style pizza is it gets a
little bit more bubbly, like you have those bubbles in
the crust.
Speaker 4: That happens.
Speaker 12: So it's a very subtle difference.
Speaker 3: I would take New York or New Haven pizza without
too much of an argument for my other one. But yeah,
that that deep dish Midwestern pizza casserole garbage.
Speaker 7: No mancy, I live for that. Now I can't have
it anymore. What what am I going to do? Guys?
Maybe I should just throw myself off a club. I
can't have pizza anymore.
Speaker 12: You can test our portal for us, Raven.
Speaker 7: Oh perfect. I mean there's nothing left to live for
if I can pizza.
Speaker 4: I think that should come to a point.
Speaker 10: Pleasant Village Pizza used to be Chinese restaurant break famous
Mothman signing a curve and if you walk in, you
can order all kinds of pizzas, including a Mothman pizza.
You can even sit at the Mothman table that has
photographs from the Smallman Festival and so forth, And if
you're very careful, you may see my handsome countenance in
a couple of the photographs.
Speaker 4: Really, yes, they wanted photographs just something you put up
there for a laugh.
Speaker 2: It's pure accident.
Speaker 7: They're like, have you seen this man? You won't leave
the Mothman Museum. We have told him he does not
work here. We can't get him out.
Speaker 10: And I never dropped names. But I'm in a photograph
next to two men in black and Nick Redford.
Speaker 4: Really yeah, uh yeah, well Nick was there?
Speaker 6: Interesting? But let me ask you this, not ask you,
but I've said this before. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: If I went to a restaurant and let it a
Mothman pizza, I would not be able to eat without
thinking of like pieces of moth in it. Do you
know what I mean?
Speaker 2: No, well I don't. I don't eat it because I'm
not a mushroom guy and the wings are made out
of mushrooms.
Speaker 4: See digusting.
Speaker 3: I saw recently, Steve that it was probably a few
months ago that there is a new Mexican place that
open in Point Pleasant that had like Mothman Chimmy Changa's
or something.
Speaker 2: Like that, and it was new.
Speaker 10: There's a real Bravo too, which is a pretty good restaurant.
I know the stuff there, Okay, No, I want.
Speaker 4: Mexican food anyway. Well, Susie, thanks for joining us, and
thanks for you know, telling us where we should and
should not buy pizza. How about the Boston's not. Then
you don't like Boston, I know that. But Boston's not,
then they's supposed to be better than Italy pizza wise.
Speaker 12: Maybe someday I'll come up and give it a try.
Speaker 4: Okay, Regina's pizza very famous. Okay, So we will bounce
it back to Raven. Raven, you have a report for
us tonight. I do, and now it's time for Ven.
Speaker 7: I was bouncing a couple things around in what I
have currently in the works, and I decided on another
missing person's So tonight we're talking about the disappearance of
Richie Edwards. I will just give a trigger warning. We
are going to be talking about self harm and potential suicide.
So if you're not into that, I get it, but
we'll just dive right in.
Speaker 9: So.
Speaker 7: Richard James Edwards born in nineteen sixty seven was a
Welsh musician and lyricist for the alternative rock band Manic
Street Preachers. He was known for his politicized and intellectual
songwriting and edgy appearance, which awarded him cult status very
early on in his career. The Guitarists disappeared on February first,
nineteen ninety five, just before the rock band was due
to make a promotional trip to America. So Richie Edwards
was born and raised in Blackwood, Wales. He had a
younger sister named Rachel, and by all accounts, he had
a happy and unremarkable childhood. As a young adult, Edwards
was actually a roadie for Manic Street Preachers, and he
was accepted as the band's main spokesman and fourth member
in nineteen eighty nine, but he really wasn't talented musically.
His real contribution to the band was in their lyrics
and overall design, so he actually frequently mined playing the
guitar during early live performances and played on just two
songs during the band's studio career, but he shared credit
with their bassist Nicky Weier as the Preachers the Preachers' lyricists.
That's a lot of us anyways. Edwards is said to
have written approximately eighty percent of the lyrics on the
band's third album, The Holy Bible, and both Edwards and
Nicky Weyer are credited on all songs written prior to
his disappearance, so he suffered from severe depression, and he
was very open about it in interviews. He self harmed,
mainly through putting cigarettes out on his arms and cutting himself,
saying quote, when I cut myself, I feel so much better.
All the little things that might have been annoying me
suddenly seem so trivial because I'm concentrating on the pain
end quote. On May fifteenth, nineteen ninety one, after a
gig at the Norwich Arts Center, a journalist questioned how
serious he was about his art, and Edwards responded by
carving the words for real, the number four and then
ria l into his forearm with a razor blade, and
that injury required eighteen stitches. He also suffered from insomnia
and used alcohol to help him sleep at night. He
was hospitalized prior to the release of The Holy Bible
in nineteen ninety four, which caused him to miss out
on some of the promotional work for the album and
forcing the band to appear as a three piece at
several festivals. Following his release from the hospital, Manis Street
Preachers toured Europe with Suede and Therapy. That's the band
with a question mark Just in case Imon didn't know
for what would be the last time. Edward's final live performance,
I'm Sorry. Edward's final life appearance was at the London
Astoria on December twenty first, nineteen ninety four. The concert
ended with the band smashing their equipment, not really unheard
of at the time, and damaging the lighting system prompted
by Edwards. Concertgoers also recalled bandmates having to physically stop
him from cutting off his fingers while he was on
stage that night. On January twenty third, nineteen ninety five,
Edwards gave his last interview to a Japanese music magazine
called Music Life. So February first, nineteen ninety five, Edwards
collects his wallet, car keys, some prozac, and his passport
and reportedly checks out of the London Embassy hotel, leaving
behind his toiletries, suitcase and some more prozac that he
just didn't take with them. This was the same day
that he and lead singer James Dean Bradfield were due
to fly to the United States for the Holy Bible Tour.
In the two weeks before his disc appearance, Edwards was
Edwards withdrew two hundred pounds a day from his bank
account and not total twenty eight hundred pounds by the
day of the scheduled flight to the US. It is
unknown if he intended to spend this cash during the tour,
because there was a claim that he actually needed the
money to pay for a desk that he had ordered,
but there was no delivery ticket or receipt. Nobody ever
found anything, so it's kind of I mean, there's there's
one way or another. Nobody knows, unfortunately, but that was mentioned.
He then drove to his flat in Cardiff, leaving behind
his passport, his Prozac and a receipt from the Severn
Bridge toll booth, so he left all of that at
his flat. On February seventh, a taxi driver from Newport
supposedly picked up Edwards from the King's Hotel and drove
him around the valleys, including through his hometown of Blackwood.
The driver reported that the passenger had spoken in a
Cockney accent that occasionally slipped into a Welsh one, and
that he had requested to lay down in the back seat.
The passenger also asked the driver to avoid major roadways,
and when they arrived at the Blackwood bus station, which
was what apparently he had initially requested, the passenger said
that that was the wrong place, so eventually the driver
ended up dropping him off at Severn View service Station,
which was near South I always mess this sword up. Sorry,
so near South Gloucestershire.
Speaker 4: Luster yeah, wster share yep, okay.
Speaker 7: So on February fourteenth, Edwards Vauxhall Cavalier received a parking
ticket at the Severn View service station and on February seventeenth,
the vehicle was reported as abandoned. Police discovered the battery
to be dead, with evidence that the car had been
lived in. The car also had photos in it that
he had taken of his family prior to the disappearance,
just kind of leading up and those were all in
the car. So due to the service station's proximity to
the Severn Bridge, which again the Severn Bridge, that was
that ticket that he left in his flat, So he
had a toll booth ticket from the Severn Bridge. That
bridge is a known suicide site and it was widely
believed that Edwards had jumped off the bridge. He had
referred to suicide in nineteen ninety four multiple times, but
specifically in ninety four he stated quote in terms of
the S word that does not enter my mind and
if and it never has done in terms of an attempt,
because I am stronger than that. I might be a
weak person, but I can take pain and quote. So
the investigation has received criticism throughout the years as well.
In nineteen ninety nine the book Everything, a book about
manic street preachers by Simon Price, it said the aspects
of the investigation were far from satisfactory. Price asserts the
police may not have taken Edward's mental state into account
when investigating his disappearance, so they didn't really look I don't.
I mean, that's like the vibe that I got from
the multiple articles that I read, and maybe just didn't
take it seriously. So in two thousand and eight, Richie's
family made the difficult decision to label him as quote
presumed dead, giving his relative's legal access to his estate.
That's something that families can do if somebody is missing
for that long. There's a lot of red tape involved
with it, but it is something that they can do
so that families are allowed to close out a state
so that they can get like the money side of
things handled. It's also for closure. But despite that, they've
never stopped looking for him. So in the years following
his disappearance, Richie's sister Rachel has worked tirelessly to support
other families with missing relatives. In a recent interview, she said,
quote understandably some find the term presumption of death upsetting,
but it is necessary to wind up the complex financial issues.
In twenty fifteen, she said the family was still experiencing
the daily trauma of not knowing what happened to him.
Rachel actually successfully campaigned to change the law so families
were able to deal with their missing loved ones financial
affairs in a more simplified way, so in twenty thirteen,
the Presumption of Death Act became law, making the process
for declaring presumption of death less complex. Rachel is also
a key member in the formation and implementation of the
National Crime Agency UK Missing Persons Unit, and is a
voluntary director for the National Missing Person's Helpline in Ireland,
just in case anyone needs that information. So we are
at let's see, I'm sorry, I lost my place for
a second. Richie's body was never found, and while he
is quote unquote presumed dead again, his family has never
given up hope looking for him, and he is still
considered a missing persons despite the presumed dead label. That
was again strictly for financial reasons. A handful of signings
have been reported over the years, but so far no
solid leads have materialized. Andbruary is actually going to mark
the thirty year anniversary of Richie's disappearance. Richie would be
fifty seven years old today. He's five foot eight, he
has brown hair, brown eyes, very thin billed, pale complexion.
He has four tattoos. One reading quote I'll surf this
beach end quote. And if anyone knows Richie's whereabouts or sees,
you know, anything, please contact the Dough network at four
four to zero eight three nine two four five four five.
And that is the kind of unexplained disappearance of Richie Edwards.
Speaker 4: So he was on he was on the verge of,
you know, something big in his career, right, yes.
Speaker 7: So they were going to do like a it wasn't
like a huge like world tour or anything like that,
but they were going to tour the United States.
Speaker 4: What was the name of the band again, was the
name of the band.
Speaker 7: The Manick Street Preachers.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, all right, yeah, And there were a punk
band Sounds like punk. Yeah, sure, it's funny. It's a
funny time to end it all if you know what
I mean.
Speaker 7: You know well that and I mean the thing that
like kills me is like where's the body if he
jumped off the bridge? Which and I get why a
lot of people think that, I get ith nothing not
even his clothes. They don't even know what clothes he
was wearing. But no clothes ever even washed up, so
they can't even like, you know, give like any clothes
that pop up they you know, given to the family
say like, you know, did he wear this? Like first
of all, they don't know, and second of all, like
it would also have to he was very like real skinny,
you know what I mean. So it's like, I don't know,
it's weird.
Speaker 4: It's a weird one.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Self harm will also tend to partake in riskier activities,
like walking through a bad part of a city at night,
and that kind of takes some of the ownership off
of themselves if something bad work to happen, so he
might not ness necessarily have killed himself, but may have
put himself in a very bad position. Heard lots of
stories of that happening, and we even heard people who
you know, after going to therapy have admitted that they
were having suicidal ideation so they would do things like
walk through a bad neighborhood at night.
Speaker 4: Well, yes, walking through a bad neighborhood is suicidal, as
it turns out. I mean, I can't I can't imagine
being that position, thank though, you know, thank God, But
walking through a bad neighborhood at any point in your
life is just not a good idea, you know, with you, Al,
would you agree?
Speaker 9: Al?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't even like driving through some neighborhoods.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, well.
Speaker 6: Just because you know that if anything happens, you're alone,
you're in a situation that you may not walk out of.
Speaker 4: I can't imagine anyone wanting that. But once again, you know,
who knows what goes on in people's heads, you know, Wow, Raven,
Well that's a crazy it's just it's it's just is
weird that on the on the but really something big
happening with these guys, knowing how musicians are yeah to
go missing.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it's I don't know, And I mean,
like the word like convenient is what immediately comes to
my mind, But it doesn't even feel like it's like
the right word to use in that situation. It's it's
just like I'm so fascinated by it. Like, and I've
talked about many missing persons cases at this point because
I I can't stop thinking about them because like, nothing
is found. Nothing. The only thing is like all the
stuff he left at the hotel and his car and
he we knew he stopped off at his flat and
he dropped that stuff off. Nothing else, and it's it's
just crazy. Like I read in some some articles that
people thought that they saw him and they actually didn't
know he was missing, so they didn't say anything.
Speaker 4: That's weird, man.
Speaker 7: But then it was like, you know, was it even him?
Could it have been some other like punk rocker? Because
this is the UK in the nineties, you know, Like
it's fascinating. It would be nice if something was found,
you know, just for his family's sake, for his sister.
I don't know if his parents are still alive. It
was kind of hard to find information on them.
Speaker 4: But yeah, it'd be nice if he showed up.
Speaker 7: Would it be crazy? He would come by and say
l L the way I did it for the laughs.
Speaker 2: There you go, and I'm missing four to one one books.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: Anytime I read.
Speaker 10: Them, I go in the daytime to a well hit restaurant,
content eating food and listening to these horrible some of
them are people are found but they're just combobulated. Uh,
they don't know what happened to them. And some of
the children that are found alive. I've covered, you know,
miles miles of a rough terrain. I mean, there's just
so many mysteries associated with these The.
Speaker 4: Four one on mysteries. Uh, this guy he wrote a
book and basically what it was was people went missing
in the National park system.
Speaker 2: Was that it That's how it started.
Speaker 10: Yeah, he was Actually he was a bigfoot researcher and
he has written a couple of excellent books on bigfoot
and talking to Native Americans about their experiences. And sometimes
it was a couple of part people came to him
unnamed of course, and said, you know, we've got a
real mystery here, and they started telling him about how
these people would just vanish and they would be you know,
sometimes they would find the body in the same place
they had searched. They were certainly certain patterns. Some they
would find them mere swamps. There were dogs would would
stop tracking. There's so many uh and and you know, ironically,
even Alitis recognized that there were some similarities between elements
of folklore. People well, you know, they used to warn
them about, like in Newfoundland, for example, when they brought
the traditions over from the old country. If you're out
there picking berries, you've got to have bread with you.
So you've got to give the bread to the little
people or they're gonna whisk you away.
Speaker 4: Yes, and they talked.
Speaker 2: They told us once at worry about this one young
boy that forgot to take the bread. He vanished for
two or three days.
Speaker 10: When he came back, he was alive and well, but
he couldn't tell anybody what happened. And and then you know,
he talked about people disappearing from boulder fields and in
some some situations that suggestion of UFO activity, but not
in all of them.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's just uh weird mad. There was
one and there's not just one answer to these.
Speaker 4: There was one where and he might have mentioned it
in his book, but I have heard this one. And
it was like in Yellowstone in one of these places,
or maybe I'm not sure where it was, but it
was outdoor camping in the National Park System family and
they had a kid who I think was a six
year old girl, and she goes missing, and now everyone
you know with that. But they're very very in a
remote part of the woods and stuff. Took a while
for you know, help to get there, et cetera, cetera.
But they get there with the cop does the works, right,
They looking everywhere for this kid, and a number of
days goes by, and usually after a few days you go, well,
you know, but a number of days went by and
switch you might correct me on this, but they found her,
like on a mountain twenty miles away, not a scratch,
not a bruise, nothing around with her, nothing.
Speaker 10: And sometimes they plind these people whether they're alive or dead.
They're up at higher elevation and normally, I mean, there's
like a guidebook on you know, a certain child at
a certain age, they're going to wander so many miles, yes,
and they almost.
Speaker 2: Never go uphill. Yeah, so there's all these bizarre contradictions.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, what I mean, what's going on there? And
they tied to the kid and the kid would't even
remember or the kid said, you know, she met some strange, man,
I'm freaking thing. But they said, how in the world.
She's probably younger than that because she couldn't remember exactly
what happened. But how does a kid get twenty miles
away up in the mountain and there's none where? So where,
I mean, how does that happen?
Speaker 10: There's one when she said she saw She's just a
young kid and can't really explain, but she saw little
tiny cows, suggesting that she was way up somewhere.
Speaker 2: I'm looking down at a field with cows around.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, oh, but seriously, how cute would little tiny
cows be? Oh?
Speaker 4: Man, nice good written name for being tiny little cowns.
Speaker 7: Yeah, little tiny cows trademark TM. We take that. Nobody
can take that.
Speaker 2: I think that music l was playing would go well
with chiny cows.
Speaker 4: I'll put the music on again, living up this segment. Come,
I put that music on again there to try the feede.
But well, just put it on for a minute. Here,
let's get loose, all right, Here we go, yep, hang out.
Speaker 2: You're right right, man. I can see little tiny cows
probably too.
Speaker 4: Here we go.
Speaker 7: They love it.
Speaker 4: That's a little tiny cow song.
Speaker 6: I don't know how that works, but.
Speaker 4: Faded down, fade it out.
Speaker 6: Okay, here you go, I can.
Speaker 4: That last one? Can call it? Really wow? Okay, thank

One one tonight. He had a very funny accident. We'd
probably not be should not be laughing about it, but
he tripped on a cobblestone. This is in England now,
and he got went to the hospital get treated. They
put him in touch with the physical therapist. The physical
therapist gave him a walking stick and leaving her office,
he tripped over the walking stick. So he's now incapacitated
for some time. Somehow that affected his vocal cluds. But
you know he's glad to be anywhere, as he would say,
also with us is our international correspondence Witchblade, Steve Ward
Switchy down there in West Virginia.
Speaker 2: Great to be here tonight.
Speaker 4: Okay, everything good to you.

Get close to the microphone, they brother, we want to
hear everything.
Speaker 2: Okay, I got a new cat named Shadow.

Speaker 2: Moman identifying as a cat lady.
Speaker 10: These days, nowadays you can identify as an animate object
like a tree.
Speaker 2: If you want.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, So a cat lady is a step up.
Go ahead, please explain.
Speaker 2: It's this a.
Speaker 10: Little black cat, sweet little cat. But she's not adjusting
with the other cats too. Well, here's my major problem.
Speaker 2: It turns out this cat only wants her own sandbox,
and so I have I have plenty of sandboxes, but
it's not easy to keep her segregated, if you know
what I mean. And if the other cats use her sandbox,
she doesn't steal the need necessarily to use any sandbox.
Speaker 4: Wow, huh, you got a problem on your hands there.
Now you get a dev your hands.
Speaker 2: On a lighter note on a lighter note from super
fan Susan.
Speaker 4: Kay, go ahead, I got this T shirt? What's it? Say?
Speaker 2: So is the cat father?
Speaker 4: How dash? She really don't like the cat?
Speaker 7: I love it. I think it's so cute.
Speaker 4: Well it's it's but it's not really cute. Susan, you
have adorable, right, mag if you say so?
Speaker 6: Switchy.
Speaker 4: So, Susane, you have tarantula is But do you have
cats as well?
Speaker 9: I do?
Speaker 12: I have two cats. One of them is a demon
maybe not necessarily a.
Speaker 4: Cat, oh okay, yes, yes, And and the other one
is just what a poocha, I mean, a second banana
type cat.
Speaker 3: The other one is thirteen years old and nineteen eighteen
or nineteen pounds, so he's not much of a threat
to anyone but himself.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, okay, good, wow, you should chill him.
Speaker 2: The names.
Speaker 7: What you know?
Speaker 2: You got one cat that's named after a very famous person.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I got to know the names.
Speaker 3: Okay, So that the old fat one is Cubby, I
did not name him. The other one is Alistair Paully.
Speaker 4: Okay, so explain that please for.
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 11: Oh god.
Speaker 3: What happened was I had recently lost my old cat,
and my friend had a friend who's co worker had kittens.
Speaker 12: So I ended up getting a.
Speaker 3: Little black cat kitten in October, right before Halloween. And
as I'm driving to pick up the kitten, I'm listening
to a podcast that happened to be about Alistair Crowley.
And then on my way there, I drove past two
different signs that said Crowley on it.
Speaker 12: I'm all right, that's a sign this cat's getting named
after him.
Speaker 9: M hm.
Speaker 4: So explain who Alister Crowley was. I know the Jimmy
Page led Zeppelin connection to him, but who was he again?
Speaker 12: So he was a boring old white man who thought
he was magic.
Speaker 3: So I think he's probably best known for his failed Uh,
I'm going to get the name wrong, the Abermellon ritual
at Lockness, where they think he might have kind of
opened up some kind of portal because he didn't perform
this ritual right and cause all kinds of problems.
Speaker 4: Okay, he was a witch though, wasn't he like a
male witch or something? Or isn't the witchcraft this guy?
Speaker 12: Right?
Speaker 3: He was like a trust fund baby that just kind
of sucked at life. But he had a very big personality.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he.
Speaker 7: He likes to pretend.
Speaker 12: Yeah, So there was this group in England, the Golden
daw On.
Speaker 3: It was like an occultist group, and he very much
wanted to be a part of it. He finally got in,
but then he wanted to immediately like rise to the top.
And it was.
Speaker 12: William Butler Yates I believe, was also in it.
Speaker 3: There were some other you know, famous authors in it,
and him and Yates got into a big argument and
which led to something called the Battle of blythe.
Speaker 4: Road and sounds almost cricket.
Speaker 3: Yeah, kind of tried to take over this location and
kind of like stampede it.
Speaker 9: And it was.
Speaker 3: Basically him trying to invade this So first the first
time he tried, Yates just locked the door and then failed,
and then he tried to do it again, so it's
just kicked him and he tumbled down the stairs.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 3: So like that's you know, that's how cool this guy was.
He was just kind of like a bumbling idiot. He
is what Uncle Fester was based off of.
Speaker 4: Well, now you've said it all, yes, okay and interesting.
Speaker 10: He also supposedly honjured up some kind of a demon
that looked a lot like a gray Oh really, his
name it was something like Bubba or something like that.
But I think the worst thing bubble only Ever did
I think he was responsible for the new coke?
Speaker 4: Oh really yeah, blame that on him too. But listen,
so so Jimmy Page, Jimmy Page, who's the guitarist from
led Zeppelin big band, superband, Supergroup, bought his house and
he lived in his house for quite a while. And
while he was there, he got into the black magic.
I know, it's like an English version of black magic
or some freaking thing, but he was very, very into it.
And then you know, he wasn't into it anymore and
he sold the house. But you know, I suppose I
gave a lot of street cred to Alistair Crowley. I
don't know, but he seemed to be a fan of his.
But once again, he's just, you know, kind of like
a a doope musician at the end of the day.
Speaker 7: Is that the house the Burndown?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 7: I'm pretty sure that's the one that Burndown.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I feel like Alistair Crowley is basically the original version
of what Zach Beggins is. Today's just a douchebag.
Speaker 4: He's really.
Speaker 7: You know, again, I trust fun kid that has too
much time on their hands.
Speaker 4: Well, who is this person you just accused of being.
Speaker 7: A He's a paranormal investigator that I use air quotes for. Yeah.
He Actually I was talking to mister Raven about this.
There was a guest on one of his shows that
apparently they didn't have signed an n d A from
like some somebody's mistake somewhere along the line, and this
person didn't sign an NDA and they came out and
basically said, no, he is people dressing up like in
full body, like black head to toe bodysuits, pretending to
be like shadow people. Oh really yeah, yeah, like and
they find something every time, which is unrealistic. Yeah, you're
if you depending on where you go, sure you'll find something.
But oh god, I can't stand him.
Speaker 4: No, I can't. But I can understand the thing that
would get me. And this is why I would never
watch bigfoot shows, is that they're never going to find them.
If they found them, you know, they recorded those things,
maybe sometimes a year in advance, you know what I mean,
but at least six months in advance. If you really
caught a bigfoot, that would be news. That would be news,
you know, the day it hit you know what I mean.
Not they're not going to reveal it's six months later
on the show. Same thing with like a lot of
UFO stuff, you know, is that you know, it's not
it's not going to be immediate. If they're going to
be showed in on you know, revealing on U Hunters,
it's not gonna be a big deal, you know. But
so this guy's a fraud is at the angle, I'm
sorry switching up.
Speaker 2: One time it was Josh Gates Destination Truth.
Speaker 10: They covered a spectacular footprint that looked like it could
be real, and the news came out at the time
and then much later, as you said, you saw the
show and it looked like.
Speaker 4: It it may have been legitimates hard There was a
show on I'm going to say National Geographic. I've mentioned
it before for some reason. It was on that channel
a while ago, and they took camera with this guy
who said, this is where you find you know, big
foots or big feet whatever, and they they they hiked
two and a half hours into this like really thick
forest and arguing to some freaking places, and two and
a half hours is tough. And the thick forest came
to this like little river and there's then there are
footprints there that looked like, you know, bigfoot footprints. Frankly,
so you have to think to yourself, who who would
go through two and a half hour was of hiking
for a hoax, hoping those people are going to go
to that spot, you know what I mean? So to
so to me, that looked that was the most legitimate
thing I've ever seen. You know, But when you were
with these guys who are leaving out big macs and
stuff like that for bigfoots, that ain't gonna happen. And
that what those guys did, big Foot eat Big Max. No,
those guys who were on that that show, I thought
Switchy was one of the yes, right, Yeah, one night
they left out crushed up Big Max hoping to you know,
attract all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 10: Yeah yeah, we'll see from the Upper Peninsula and uh
and donuts and so forth.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, if I even know.
Speaker 2: When they were filming, got stopped by and have a stack.
Speaker 4: Just come out in the full body full of bigfoots.
Yeah uh well, anyway, that's yeah, that's kind of strange.
So let's see. So Switchy, I think it's your time
to shine, right, Okay, all right, don't you this is
the third week without club, third week without club, No comments.
Speaker 9: On your run.
Speaker 4: The little squirrel there on your head right named him
sparky spacky really not Rocky.
Speaker 7: Well you can't name him sparky, name him rocky because
of bt K Dennis Raider.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, can you can you explain that place?
Speaker 2: The names will get these weird three litter initials. I
have no idea what you're talking about.
Speaker 12: Don't don't call him bt K. He gave that name
to himself.
Speaker 7: That is that was very true.
Speaker 12: I should not have name with Dennis.
Speaker 7: He's so limb.
Speaker 12: Dennis Lynn Raider, call him Lynn because he's a bit.
Speaker 4: What happened? What happened? Who was this guy? What they do?
What's his issue? You're not you're really no, because I
probably missed it. Are you saying? The bt K killer?
Speaker 7: Yeah, Dennis Raider, And he gave himself that name because
he wanted he wanted to be one of the cool kids.
Speaker 4: Well, hey, that's such a loser.
Speaker 7: But Sparky is what he used to call a certain
thing that he did to himself. He used to call
it sparky big time. So every time I hear the
word sparky. That's all I can think of. So you
can't name that little squirrel friend of yours.
Speaker 2: Squirrels.
Speaker 4: That's a long role. But I agree with sparky big time.
Also good name for a band. I'm sorry, all right,
So anyway, anyway, switch save us ya, let me put
your bumper in here.
Speaker 5: And now it's time for another story from the Lost
Annals of the Paranormal. It's time for Steve Ward's Report
from the Fringe.
Speaker 4: And that's what you have a report for us tonight, right.
Speaker 9: I do.
Speaker 10: And it's going to be on the Warminster Mystery and
will Shire, England. And this, uh, this is gonna be
based on two books. Both both books published by Timothy
Green Beckley, who's no longer with us. He used to
be known as mister Ufo, had this great publishing empire.
One of the books he wrote was or published was
Ufo Prophecy, and that was written by Arthur Shuttlewood. Now
Arthur Shuttlewood years ago wrote the Warminster Mystery and about
maybe half a dozen other books connected with that, and
it's a high UFO volume area in in England. And
then there was another another gentleman connected to that mystery,
Bryce Bond, and he wrote the UFO's Key to Enter Peace.
Now this goes back to the nineteen sixties Warminster, England.
Now it turned not just a hotspot for UFO signings,
but when this all this bizarre stuff started, it was
called the thing and started on Christmas Eve nineteen sixty four.
It was a loud, humming like noise that it sounded
like a herd of bees. And then later on it
sounded like hale was hitting the roof and it was
a missus heat that experienced us. It was like one
thirty in the morning, and there was another lady or
later that morning that was making her way to church.
She also heard some kind of a strange buzzing noise
and it was actually temporarily paralyzed. Now, the sightings occurred
all over this area and they even let's see, there
was a nook camp is what I'm looking for here
about four miles from Warminster. There were thirty soldiers that
heard these bizarre noises and sometimes they even heard explosions
in the air and they didn't couldn't see anything well,
and this one one time, this explosion came off the
the soldiers said it sounded like a huge chimney was
being ripped off a roof, and then all the bricks
and everything were hitting in the ground.
Speaker 2: And they would have no explanation for these things.
Speaker 10: The sound vibrations were just really really again, really bizarre.
And like I said, this one lady she felt like
she was in kind of a pise like grip temporarily now.
Speaker 2: But eventually that gave way.
Speaker 10: About May nineteen sixty five, the bizarre sounds stopped and
they started seeing a wave of UFO reports. Now back
in the in the in the in the sixties, when
Timothy green Beckley was helping to set up uf OBO
lectures in New York City.
Speaker 2: With James Moseley, he had he had actually traveled to
England and he met Arthur Shuttlewood, who.
Speaker 10: Was uh uh, the guy that had written all this stuff,
and he was kind of a central focus he wrote.
He was a journalist and he wrote about these things
all the time. And so they became good friends, and
he and Timothy grim Beckley experienced a lot of the
bizarre stuff that was going on over there.
Speaker 2: Now there was a radio.
Speaker 10: Dj that uh Bryce Bond that uh uh he would
promote their lectures and so forth.
Speaker 2: And he told Beckley, I mean, I'm going to go
to England. Where should I go to see?
Speaker 10: And he said, well, listen, you got to go to
Werminster and has this high level of high strangeness. So
he writes an introductory letter for him for Arthur Shuttlewood
and uh and they get together. They'd become good friends
and they're they're sky watching buddies. So and uh uh
there is so much to the story. There are so
many books and everything that it's difficult to try and
cover everything.
Speaker 2: But uh, when when uh when when Bryce got back.
I'll give you some of his experiences in a moment
he had.
Speaker 10: He was a quick, completely changed person who was like
he had some kind of a religious experience, and he
quit his radio show. He said, I'm changing my life.
I've got to do something to help mankind.
Speaker 2: And he began lecturing at the School of Occult Sciences
and became an instructor at the Silver Mind Control Institute,
and that's when he started to write the book UFO
Is the Keys to Enter Peace. Unfortunately, he never actually
lived to see the book was. He died shortly before
its publication.
Speaker 10: But he had several experiences in one time in nineteen
seventy four and the end of the Warminster area. He's
out with Arthur Shuttlewood and they've got a group of
people and should the Wood is showing them around. He's
telling them about one of the strange occurrences have happened there,
this invisible walker, and it's in an area of high
uf WU activity, and it's.
Speaker 2: Out in the field. And this is about two pm
in the afternoon, and.
Speaker 10: Arthur was discussing this invisible walker and sometimes you can
actually hear the footsteps and you can also see the
grass being pressed down, but no one was ever attacked
or harmed by whatever this was.
Speaker 7: So uh.
Speaker 10: And actually so did Tim Beckley also experienced this. So
now Arthur at this point encouraged everyone to go off
and meditate and think beautiful thoughts to draw him, you know,
pulling the space brothers. I mean, who doesn't do that, right,
So that's what Bryce did, and he wandered off a
little ways. He could still everybody talking, and he went
to a field and meditated and was looking for UFOs
and so forth. All of a sudden, everything that was quiet.
He can't hear the others at all, and he's feeling
incredibly peaceful. He's feeling these wonderful vibes. And then he
heard a worrying sound. He felt like he was being
sort of held in place gently, nothing nothing threatening about it.
Speaker 2: And then when he opened his eyes, he could see
a perfect circle forming, like like a prop circle, like
like what he used to call saucer nests. And he
had a scent of flowers as well. Then he felt
he was he could see like a space ship forming.
It was translucent, but eventually it became solid, and of
course in front of Brice stood as this beautiful space babe.
Now that's my word, space babe. She had.
Speaker 10: A blue coveralls, a blue set of coveralls on big
beautiful eyes, and she was not a blonde, nor that
she had dark hair. And she again, she was just
very stylistley. And then also now if he thought he
was gonna, you know, get anywhere, there's a tall dude
about seven foot tall, also in coveralls, bald, large eyes.
Speaker 2: He's a seventh foot being.
Speaker 10: And since he has these large ambered green eyes, and
so they and he's got kind of a flat nose,
small ears, obviously not human, and they spoke to him telepathically.
Speaker 2: They were making wanted.
Speaker 10: To make sure he was all right, and so forth,
and then all of a sudden he realizes he's in
space because he can look through the window and he's
actually seen the Earth receding.
Speaker 2: And there wasn't much in the way of communication or whatever.
Speaker 10: But at some point they said, he thought fifteen minutes
had passed, and they said, we're going to bring you
back to Earth.
Speaker 2: So all of a sudden, he's standing.
Speaker 10: In the middle of this craft circle that has been
completely formed, and he started to hear sounds and so forth.
Speaker 2: He's hearing Arthur Shuttlewood yelling for him, and.
Speaker 10: It turns out that they were looking for him for
several hours, and to his mindset, he was only gone
fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2: Now, you know, there's supposedly a lot more.
Speaker 10: Things happened to this guy, who knows if he was
spinning a tail or whatever. But it can't help but
think of the lady named Anne Jeffreys in the sixteen hundreds.
She was someone that claimed to have had all kinds
of detailed experiences with the elementals, with the little people,
but she never left her bed. She had all these
you know, very detailed, not didn't seemed like they were
just dreams, illucory but not hallucinations.
Speaker 2: Also there was orfeol Angels.
Speaker 10: He was one of the original contact ease of the
fifties and sixties that would talk about the beautiful space
Brothers and so forth.
Speaker 2: Well, he went into a trance for almost a week.
They thought he was going to die, and he came
out of it, and he had all kinds of these
beautiful stories of the space Brothers. So if this is
some of the people that knew him, Beckley and Shuttlewood
believed he was having real experiences, or at least he
believed he did. Well, perhaps he did, but perhaps they
were not in the physical realm at all.
Speaker 10: So anyway that if you pick up any of these books,
that he really is fascinating. But there there's so much
to the mystery and so many people, so many different
authors have written about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you mentioned in Jeffries, Yes, I know that as
a Fay story.
Speaker 12: Is that not the one where she had some X
rated encounters?
Speaker 2: Yes, ideos, But I thought I didn't want to embarrass
al so I thought I would leave those.
Speaker 4: ALP.
Speaker 10: Unfortunately I don't remember them in details, so I couldn't
couldn't tell you anywhere I.
Speaker 7: Wanted to have a smut segment.
Speaker 4: Okay, well we'll do that next week. Okay, okay, wow
switching together in the same room.
Speaker 7: My videotape that I are you you got more switchy.
Speaker 10: I was just going to say that when I got
a buddy of mine went to the UH convention in
New York City in the sixties, and because he helped
out there, he got a whole slew of books that
came back, and one of them was the original hardcover
with the dust jacket of The Warminster Mystery by Shuttlewood,
and I read it back then.
Speaker 2: It's it's a fascinating book. Some people think Arthur colored
up things a little bit, but it's, uh, it's just
a really really fat, spending story about an area of
high strangeness.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 12: I really like that.
Speaker 7: The solution in that moment was, why don't you go
meditate to me? That speaks volumes? Like, let's not panic.
We're gonna, like, you know, approach this in a in
a calm, rational headspace, but you have to get your
head there, Like I like that really stood out to me,
but in like a really really like it wasn't like
a weird way you know, I thought.
Speaker 4: That that was really cool.
Speaker 10: Yes, well, whatever happened to him, or what he thought
happened to him, didn't seem to change his life like
a religious experience.
Speaker 4: You know, if someone said to me, okay, it's time
to meditate, that would be my time to panic.
Speaker 6: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Oh my god? I meditate every day really yes.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it makes me feel really good. Makes you feel
like I'm floating on on a little cloud.
Speaker 4: Really that.
Speaker 7: Those two, but not every day, I can't.
Speaker 6: Okay, wow, question quick question ahead, please out. I remember
an ausy song that had to do with a mister Crowley.
Speaker 4: Yep, yeah.
Speaker 6: Does that have to do with what guys you're talking about?
Speaker 12: Absolutely?
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 6: Okay, so okay, I never got the reference, but I
remember the song.
Speaker 4: So I yeah, here's a black magic guy, right, I
guess now it turns out he's a phony, but he
was a black no for black magic spells and choruses
and lived in the English countryside.
Speaker 12: And sex magic also sex magic.
Speaker 4: Wow, yes, another great name for a band. So like,

Let nature tell him.
Speaker 2: He's going to sleep on the front lawn.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, okay, yo, I think I just assume you're
going to take the cats out, but now you're going

switching your pot. I'm sure he'll have a great time.

I said something. I mean, well, yeah, someone or maybe
Bob the goes you are the other sound effects guy tonight.
Speaker 6: The funny part was I was sitting here and all
of a sudden, the ceilings started leaking.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that happened in that conference.
Speaker 6: And I'm honestly, I was like, I heard this noise
that sounded like someone was peeing on the rug, and
when I looked over and there was water running out
of the ceiling onto the water wall carpet. I ran
into the kitchen and got a little plastic plate that
they use in the and I put it under it,
and it was making this incredibly loud tapping noise. So
then I had to run into the bathroom and grab
some toilet tissue and put it in the bottom of
the thing so that it wow muffled the sound. But
you know what, right now, you'd be hearing this tap
tap tapping, which would be like the raven the rain wheel. Yeah,
the tap tap tapping on the window. Except I wrote that,
except would be something that I understand. It's not raining out,
So I don't know why all of a sudden a
lot of weird things happened. The ceilings started leaking.
Speaker 4: But I got to say this. I got to salute
you out because we had sixteen minutes to kill. Now
we have eleven, thanks very.
Speaker 6: Much, so that's.
Speaker 2: Maybe twenty seconds.
Speaker 4: So someone was going to bring up something, is it okay?
Oh Susie has a oh Susie best Yeah, a good
friend down there in Connecticut is with us. Susie, how
are you.
Speaker 12: I'm good.

Speaker 2: There we go.
Speaker 6: We come up to Boston for lobster or something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 12: RD Island has good seafood. I don't think we would
need to go to Boston.
Speaker 4: I would need seafood in Providence if you paid me. Okay,
frankly pizza.
Speaker 12: Well, the place we go is near a Gansett, Like
Rhode Island's not big. You can just drive around it
in like half an hour.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it's a very it's the smallest state as
it turns out. Wow, huh, okay, all right, we should
have a pizza rof at some point. I'm still not
convinced New Haven pizza is better than.
Speaker 10: People want to say something. I think all you have
been relegated to the left handed Italian room. That's why
you've been cet apparently.
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, it's switchy yet it's eighteen fifteen.
Speaker 6: Recently, I don't know, at least a week ago, so
I don't know Ifpace you know.
Speaker 4: You're going to bring the fighting. But anyway, didn't we
start talking about Susie you get a peacoat after a
fight or something? What happened?
Speaker 7: So?
Speaker 3: I grew up in southeast Connecticut near the naval base.
Oh yes, which yes, rotten grotten.
Speaker 4: Yep, rotten, groten.
Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead, of course I was there, but I
was nowhere near there.
Speaker 4: This is where they build they used to build nuclear submarines.
That electric boat in Groton, Connecticut. Oh yep, very seaport.
Speaker 7: There's a rotten Groton, New York. But it's not that cool.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, good to know.
Speaker 12: Yeah, but this was probably close to twenty years ago.
I was there. It was some kind of event. I
don't remember what it was. My sister was a nurse
on the base and a drunk sailor spilled a beer
on me.
Speaker 4: Wow, when you're like fifteen years old at this point,
How long though?
Speaker 9: Was this?
Speaker 12: So I'm forty now?
Speaker 4: Oh okay, all right, okay, if you want to say.
Speaker 3: It would have been like eighteen nineteen years ago, because
I think I was like early twenties.
Speaker 4: All right, trying to be nice. Go ahead.
Speaker 12: So he spilled his beer on me. It was winter,
my coat was wet.
Speaker 8: Oh.
Speaker 12: I made him give me his pea coat, maybe issued peacoat.
Speaker 2: Wasn't there a reason he spilled his beer on you?
He'd liked to wasn't just an accident?
Speaker 9: Was well?
Speaker 4: He was drunk, okay? Oh, and you said something to
him and he threw his beer at you.
Speaker 2: I thought he mistook you for somebody, and I had
a brain heard against.
Speaker 12: There was a conversation. Please, we don't know what is
believable or not, but tell us.
Speaker 3: There was another red He said he mistook me for
another redhead that had done something to him.
Speaker 4: Well, you're all to blame, really, aren't you.
Speaker 12: Yeah, whether I believe that or not, I think he
was just drunk.
Speaker 4: Okay, do you think he was? There's just his weird
way of expressing feelings for you. The Love doctor.
Speaker 12: Asked, I think he was just a drunk sale Really
that could be too.
Speaker 7: That's pretty cool. Navy issued pea coat.
Speaker 4: Yeah, those are good. Those are good coats. Those are heavy,
they're nice you still have?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would get rid of that.
Speaker 4: And it fits you? Does it fit you? Did you
have it? It is a bit big, Okay, who is
this guy?
Speaker 12: It'll keep you warm when you're shoveling. Still.
Speaker 7: I bet you can get that tailored. It might be
you know, it might be like, you know, a couple
of hundred bucks, but you can get that tailored. They
could take it in a little bit real nice.
Speaker 4: That would be nice. Yeah, a whole new line of
pea coats that are like kind of a high fashion switchy.
You still have your pea coat?
Speaker 6: I do?
Speaker 4: Really? Yeah. The cats go to sleep on it that night.
Speaker 2: That's that's an idea. No, it's it's buried somewhere. Okay,
not much space for clothes.
Speaker 6: When I just got somehow.
Speaker 4: I got one when I was in college, and it
was like cool when you're in college back then to
we like military stuff, you know, And it was it
was great. It was long, you know, very long, and
it was it was great. It was very pilitarium and say,
but well, good for you. So where's that sailor now?
Is he an admroll?
Speaker 3: He's probably in a gutter somewhere.
Speaker 7: I have no idea well, he made an impression, and
he went on to try to find the redhead that
hurt him.
Speaker 4: The real one.
Speaker 2: He thinks about that redhead that he spied.
Speaker 4: At the end of a body. Now right now, I
know she had read here and she took my coat. Wow,
funny thing.
Speaker 7: I have a pea coat. And when mister Raven and
I started dating, apparently he had never heard of a
pea coat. And he's like, you know, it was wintertime
and I said, hammy, my pea coat. And he's just like,
you keep saying this and I don't know what you mean.
And I explained it to him and he's like, somebody
peed on your coat. And I'm like, you're not serious.
I'm like, you're just not and he's just like, why
do you have a coat with pe on it?
Speaker 9: Go?
Speaker 4: He's being literal, that's all.
Speaker 2: I guess. He didn't serve in the navy.
Speaker 7: Then, well, you like legit didn't know what I meant.
And now like every year, you know, if I asked
him to grab me, like grab me my great coat,
which I don't wear often because it's like they're so fancy.
I feel like I can't wear it in like a
normal situation. But I was like grabbing my great coat
and he's just like, oh, you want the coat with
the pea on it. He's like, no, I'm not.
Speaker 15: I'm not touching that.
Speaker 4: Okay, let me ask you this something with you. You're
the expert. Why do they call it a pea coat?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Someone?
Speaker 4: Wow? Oh where are you with the Trumbones d man? Someone?
Speaker 6: For some reason, I've blocked lost my sound effect.
Speaker 4: Oh that's this thing? Is I did something. I screwed
up something, okay.
Speaker 15: And soon Asie will do them wan wanh.
Speaker 4: Okay. That was a raven thank you very much.
Speaker 6: Something I did something?
Speaker 4: Why don't we who?
Speaker 6: Hell?
Speaker 4: That's again and he's left handed? Who knows?
Speaker 10: You know?
Speaker 6: What's wrong with that?
Speaker 4: Nothing? All right? So it's time. The only people in
the right mind that's I have that on a coffee cup.
Why don't we bring the train into the station? Switchy?
Speaker 2: What do you? Okay? Let me.
Speaker 7: I just looked up why did they call it a
pea coat? And it's spelled p e a vegetable and
it says the origin of the term pea coat is uncertain,
but some say it comes from the Dutch word.
Speaker 4: Yeah that too. Yeah.
Speaker 7: So that's that's what it means. So good thing that
we got that square away.
Speaker 4: That's Dutch for Urine, by the way, touch for Urine.
Speaker 7: I just spoke it, so you're good. I just explained
the whole thing.
Speaker 2: You didn't do with an accent.
Speaker 7: I just did perfect that.
Speaker 4: I thought her. I thought her Dutch was perfect anyway. Okay,
but that's just me and you know, no one else.
Four or five Jack Daniels A, well, goodbye. We're going
to say it, Susie, thank you for joining us on
such short notice.
Speaker 3: I have decided, if Steve's allowed to identify as a
cat lady, I will be identifying as a problem from
here on out.
Speaker 4: Problem, A problem late Whose problem are you?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 2: So are you saying you're starting to be a problem
or you were earlier and you were just acknowledging it.
Speaker 3: I've been a problem since birth. I am just identifying
as it now.
Speaker 4: I think doctor Love can probably talk you out of that,
tay the truth, the intensive therapy. But well, thank you, Jusie.
How many spiders do you have.
Speaker 12: Right now? I have twenty two?
Speaker 4: What are they all in the same terrarium or something?
Speaker 12: No, you can't put them together. They all have their
own little habitats.
Speaker 4: Really, yeah, twenty two of them. They eat each other,
Some of.
Speaker 3: Them eat crickets, some eat mealworms. They get roaches as treats.
Speaker 4: How about moths.
Speaker 3: They I mean, they probably would if one flew in there,
but I'm not going to catch moths.
Speaker 4: Moth man. It'd be a great movie that mothman gets
eaten by spetters at the end of the movie. So well, listen,
thank you very much, and we'll talk to you soon.
Down there in Tony, Connecticut. Let's clap for I think
we should only because she is a redhead and we
want to stay on your good side.
Speaker 12: That's a wise man.
Speaker 4: Thank you say that that's magic that I actually in
the studio. Yes, but ah, okay, so he's going to
rue the day he let me near this sound. This
is the day, you know. Thank you well, thank you well,
thanks for being the special THINGCTS be.
Speaker 6: Here, even though I'm about forty feet away. You know, nice,
nice being here forty feet by myself, forty feet away
from the refrigerator. You so, but I think that that
it's going to be interest because you do sound better
in that room, which is odd. You know what, I mean, well,
it's either it's one of a few things. One the
acoustics in this room might be better to the equipment's
brand new.
Speaker 4: Well that's true. Okay, yeah, and uh you know, I'm.
Speaker 6: Just maybe uh yeah, you know. Instead of being a
photogenic I'm audiogenic once again face radio, which I turned
it out audiogenic also a good name for being our
c D.
Speaker 4: Thank you. Well, now we've gotta break this stuff down, right,
We've gotta break it down and get it out of here.
Is there any is there any boxes and take it
back any upside to leaving it here? Well we can discuss.
We're gonna be late. Okay, here we go. Uh so,
thank you well, switchy, thank you, switch Thank you pleasure Okay,
and thank you for sending me pictures of your breakfast
while I'm you're drinking water, low calorie water. Thank you.
Speaker 2: Oh I knew you would appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Okay, Raven, we didn't take about it you yet, do
we No?
Speaker 7: But thank you so much for having me. This is great.
Speaker 4: Thank you for drinking a big beer on the show.
The look.
Speaker 7: I got a big beer and I got a little beer,
a little baby beer. Get rid of that little baby
anow they're married.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, anyway, another joke in there, not touching it.
Thank you Raven for joining us, and we'll talk to
you very soon. And please tell mister Raven the origin
of the peacoat. Oh we don't know what it is yet, right,
you know, no one knows it.
Speaker 7: It's just a mystery. But I gave you those two
very clear, very obvious Dutch words. We all know the
true origin.
Speaker 9: I think.
Speaker 7: Okay, I think there's no more discussion that needs to
be had.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, wow, okay, So why do we do this?
On that note? What don't we.
Speaker 2: Do?
Speaker 4: The plugs? The plugs? Well, first of all, we have
to apologize to everybody because in the last maybe three
or four months, Apple has been putting their own ads
into our show. Also a couple of our platforms do this.
There's nothing we can do about it. It's annoying because
they just dropped the ads in, you know, just out
of the blow, very randomly. In the middle of the conversation,
you'll hear an ad. There's two things we can do.
First of all, someone told me, he said, I especially
on Apple podcasts, which a lot of people listen to
us on if you just go when the show starts,
just go Alexa, go ahead two minutes. For some reason,
it starts the beginning of the show and we don't
know why, but that works. But you can also go
to podbean dot com, which is our original platform, Podbean
like the vegetable dot com. And there's no ads there
and all of our archives are there, so podbean dot
com is probably the place to go. Also, Home Star
Troops Some Star Troops is an organization that builds homes
for our veterans who have been hurt in combat after
nine to eleven the Afghan War and the Iraqi War.
These are people who came home without limbs and Homes
for our troops. Builds them houses that are more adaptable
to their needs, low account of space, less staus, so
on and so forth. When they finish the house, they
give them the keys, They rip up the mortgage. It's
their home forever. They don't have nothing in having to
pay the mortgage all over their head every month. Homes
for our Troops. These are people who give a lie
for us. We should give a lot to them. Please
google them see what they were about. Ninety cents of
your charity dollar goes right to our veterans. That's important
these days because we always say, first of all, John
my kainb is not a loser, he's a war hero.
He's a war hero, and he's a veteran, a disabled
veteran he was. You don't make fun of people like that.
And also I'm urging people just to look into this
project twenty twenty five. I know it's very controversial. There's
a lot of aspects to it, but just go to
the pot about the veterans. Okay, they are actually going
to if you were if you were a veteran and
you're under care of the Veterans Administration, after ten years,
they're just going to cut you loose. That's it. Okay,
after ten years, no matter whether you you know some
wounds in law and in the military, you don't even
know about them for ten years. But after ten years
you're on your own. If you are getting a military pension,
you cannot get VA benefits or vice versa. I mean,
what's with that. Okay, you're taking money out of the
pockets of the people who probably need it the most.
What is the matter with this country that this would
even be on the table, even be considered okay, so
look into it Project twenty twenty five. And anyway, when
you hear us next time, hopefully JJ will be here,
the whole gang will be here. But until next time,
be safe. Oh this is back to the entire gang.
Be safe, be happy, and.
Speaker 2: Bye bye.
Speaker 18: In the darkest darkness, in the blackness black on the
road to nowhere.
Speaker 11: There's no turning back. Love reached out and touch me,
start me in my tracks. Across my heart, because it's true.
I'm nothing with that across my heart. Because it's true.
