out of your out of the palm of your hand,
and they'll land you the face up or face down.
Speaker 4: Huh.
Speaker 5: And then this is with baseball cards. Hey baby, you're
listening to the one one show here worth a lot
of dough yea on one of the shows around the

Speaker 4: Oh cool? Also with us in the studio as our
engineer producer getaway drive a pea killer. But now, how
do we say that's a connoisseur of Christmas decorations? Is
uh alcohol the kiddies pail? Well, mac one one, I
think you're gonna have to amend my title. Really yeah,
well because one one's doing the editing of the show now,
so you should probably get the producer Monica because he's
doing more of that. You know, he's fine. So let's
just more. Hey where you switch you okay? Yeah, wait,
wait you turn. So let's talk about the tree. Okay,
you have this incredible tree that it's it's it's so
high that the neighbors complaining the I be a hazard
to aircraft.
Speaker 1: Correct, yes, and he then asked if it was in
violation of the height restrictions.
Speaker 4: Oh, yes, that's terrible. But anyway, so you have this,
it's kind of.
Speaker 5: You know, quite honestly, I think the way that tree
is structured and the way it just dazzles it mean,
it's like the colors are right unbelievable. We have to
send out a video yeah yeah, yeah to the team
here after.
Speaker 4: After you say it's a hazard to pilot.
Speaker 5: Then I don't think it's high enough to be a problem.
Speaker 1: I think they see all kinds of lights they do,
you know what I mean, if it's like Christmas lights.
I think it's if you old tree used to just
be there and it was all different colors. This one's
crazy because it it's programmed to make all kinds of
yeah yeah yutty things.
Speaker 4: It's I'm telling you, we just go out on a
poor draw from the windows. We just say watch it
for like twenty minutes. I'm not kidding you. It's just
you can see it. I can't. Yeah, he can't see it,
which is funny. There's one way there's a Santa Claus
riding around, and it's really cool, especially if you know anyway,
So uh, thank you all for doing crazy also with
us down there in uh my sister's tank top, West Virginia,
where they do not celebrate Christmas. By the way, is

can't just let it change go. So I have to
put a part in it, you know, otherwise I look
like a a retro hippy monkey or beetles.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 7: It's like I'm trying to, you know, put on errors
and it probably still has just a little bit of
uh water in it when I combed it. It's not
not by talus. It's not you know that greasy kid stuff.
What do they call that?
Speaker 4: Real cream?
Speaker 7: Real cream? Right?

Speaker 4: A little dabble, that's right? Remember that ad Yes, the
most sexual thing ever on TV? I mean, for its
day anyway, So switch everything okay with you?
Speaker 7: Everything is beyond wonderful.
Speaker 4: Do you have anything fun for breakfast? No?
Speaker 7: I I made breakfast at home, but but then later
in the day, I decided I would go to Tutors.
I went to the drive through. I got there just
before they closed, because they close it too. They just
do breakfast at lunch.
Speaker 4: Go ahead.
Speaker 7: I got a meat loaf dinner, meat loaf, mashed potatoes
and gravy and corn and a biscuit, although I didn't
eat the biscuit, and I brought it home and I
had half of it for kind of a late lunch,
and and then I'm going to have, you know, after
the show, I'll probably sit down and, you know, in
comfort eat the rest of my meta.
Speaker 4: Man. I love that.
Speaker 5: I love that kind of food, down home, basic all
American food.
Speaker 4: And then drive through too. You don't have to deal
it anyway.

Speaker 4: You have to for.
Speaker 7: They got to cook it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're okay, man.
They have kept me alive for several years.

mom and pop.

also with us.
Speaker 5: I gotta don't make me bring in my box of
Keebler publish.
Speaker 4: You do you like Girl Scout cookies? Who doesn't? All right?

they have a cookie I think they're Keebler's not allowed
to really directly copy the exact but it's a little
instruction of a give and cookie Girl Scout cookie, right,
But these fudge cookies.
Speaker 1: Bring them in him, man, we'll look at them close up. Yeah, yeah,
thin men. I'm okay until you get to the thin men.
Speaker 4: So the ninety percent of what they sell of those
thin men's, oh just all I buy. You don't like them?
I love them? Oh yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: When Sue worked in the school, in the middle school,
so at least twenty five or thirty young girls that
come to her and ask her to buy cookies. My
whole freezer was full of thin.
Speaker 4: You know what the weird thing is? Though, they sell
them during length, which is really not a good idea,
you know, if you did it after like before. Anyway,
Thank you, you've been joining us club. Here's a guy
also with us is h I'm sorry our international what

Speaker 4: Fine, I know he didn't. He didn't hear them.
Speaker 9: Anyways, I you know, I was watching Switchy in this
that hare style that brings me back then when I
was a teenager, we used to have that sticky look. Also, yes,
we used to put you know the with it. It
was in the Oil and the Automobiles with grease. Our
here all up just like the movie, sticky looking. And
I noticed that I don't understand how switch can do.
Speaker 4: It, because no one does. It used to take.
Speaker 9: Us days to get it out of our hands.
Speaker 4: So here's the problem too, is that he's got those
corow Channing glasses on, and he's got like a black
turtle Nike or something set. It looks kind of mysterious,
kind of Parisian left bank, if you know what I mean.
Honestly fooling, I don't.
Speaker 9: I don't know what he's trying to but yeah, it's
a different a square.
Speaker 4: It's a different look. Yeah.

like it.
Speaker 4: Keep trying, yeah, keep trying to switch.
Speaker 7: I've got a good title for club. Yeah, just call
him International mob Boss.
Speaker 4: Anyway.
Speaker 9: You know, you didn't grow up in the in the
right area at the right time be able to talk
about people's background like wow, wow switching.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a bit of watch what you say?
Speaker 7: Paid five bucks? You know, you go online and for
five bucks you find out all the dirt on people.

And you can different sites and this is for five bucks,
they'll do a background check and tell you all the

Speaker 1: Oh yeah, hm, okay, all right, I want to go
to the power next time.
Speaker 4: Now they have one.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 1: I have a good friend who was a mcmack Indian
last when I saw him last because he moved back
to the reservation in Nova Scotia and I ran into
him last year and he told me he's now a
tribal elder. Really yeah, And I was like, really, you're
a tribal elder. He's a guy got kind of browbeat
into doing it. And then I guess not just his tribe,
but is a group of tribes up in Canada and
he got actually elected to go be an elder in
that in the big picture.
Speaker 4: June his way up. Yeah, literally, the why did you retire? Yeah?
You know, mechanic. Come on, there's someone about Nick mac
is in this in New Hampshire whatever. So anyway, someone
who's not a mckmac in in but we don't know
and talk about a hairstyle. Oh my goods is asient
X agent X wake up X. Okay there buddy prompted
the clap for him.
Speaker 14: Oh, thank you. It's just a little side note to
switch eat. The three guys that were excoriating you unmercifully
for your hairdo or hairstyle, whatever it was, are all
wearing hats, and one of them is wearing sunglasses.
Speaker 4: So that's how. Look the dude, what's the matter? What's
your problem? How did I get involved in that? Did
you say anything?
Speaker 10: I think he looks so good. No hate, no hate?
Speaker 4: I think so too.
Speaker 9: You need a new microphone. I don't have a hat on.
Speaker 14: Nobody can understand you. Oh wow, at least sorry, we
thought one word you said.
Speaker 1: He I'll tell you listen, I'm speaking for the for
all of us here. You should put a hat on,
you know the glow off you top. That man is
screwing up a zoom video.
Speaker 10: I don't know what that means.
Speaker 4: Well, it also looks like you're dying your hair. Are
you dying your hand? Tell us you didn't tell us.
Speaker 14: I haven't died anything. Guys with hats on, I shouldn't
say anything. Just take your hats off.
Speaker 4: Wmen with then with hats right?
Speaker 14: Okay, wait, after all of that excoriation to me as
a definite.
Speaker 4: It does stop using big words. Yeah, okay, all right, listen,
you're here for one reason, and we're going to get
to it in a second. Okay, later on. What we're
going to be doing is, so I have this new book.
You've heard me, you know, complaining about for the past
six months. So there's one one throwing his microphone across
some reason in protests. All right, you're okay. So I
finally get it done, and it's coming on May. It's
called mcloney's Haunted Universe, Pot two or Book two or
something like that, and it's basically fifty thousand words of
a collection of all these like really weird stuff that
has happened since the first one was published in twenty eighteen,
and which was a really I don't want to say
best seller, but it sold very well. This one is
like even even crazy, even more weird, even like were
way out because bizarre and all true. Right, no, it's
all true. Yeah, That's the weird thing about it is
that there's so many stories out there. I'm convinced that
for some reason in the past eight years or whatever,
if stuff is expotentially not to use another big word,
getting weirder and weirder you know what I mean. You know,
as we roll along to this, you know this wherever
the hell we're going. There's so many strange things that
happened in the war in Iraq and Afghanistan that you
could write a whole book about it. And apparently there's
a lot of podcasts that talk about nothing. But because
American soldiers went over there and they had all these
old cultures and stuff. You know, the Americans built a
base where Babylon used to be the city of Babylon,
they built a base on top of it, right, and
they're among the ruins and all this kind of crazy stuff. Anyway,
so we're going to be reading pots from that tonight.
I mean, you know, we brought the script of Social
last week, but before that, the reason X is on
not that we don't like them, is that so he
calls me up in the panic the other day, all right,
literally panic, and he goes, you won't believe what happened,
and I'm gonna throw it to you, but can you
give us the short version of the elevated version in hyah.
Speaker 14: Yeah, As you know, I'm very skeptical, yeah, okay, skeptical
about most of this.
Speaker 10: All the anomalous stuff.
Speaker 4: You went into a market, bas this is the third
time it's happened to you in the past two or
three years. Is a huge chain up here in the market.
People love a supermarket, I believe it or not.
Speaker 5: You play the greatest music on the intercom. That's why
it looks interercom.
Speaker 4: So you walked in and just tell us what happened
this set, and then we'll backtrack what happened before.
Speaker 14: I was just about to say that this Saturday, at
about two forty five pm, I went into a local
market basket and very this is why it's so strange,
so mundane, and so there's nothing sexy or glamorous or
dramatic about it. And I'm walking down the bread aisle.
Speaker 5: And it's like I'll four or something. Sorry, no way,
that's the upper number aisle. Yeah, it's like, As'll twelve
or something.
Speaker 10: Walking down the bread aisle and.
Speaker 5: One side is frozen food, the other side is bread.
The weirdest isle. It's right opposite the kitchen, okay.
Speaker 14: Yes, And I'm walking down from the front side and
there's a lady and I had a basket. There's a
lady coming up from the backside and towards me, and
I'm walking down towards her, and I'm about ten feet
away from the occurrence. She was only three feet away
from the occurrence.
Speaker 8: Suddenly a loaf of bread said, none of that?
Speaker 10: Is there another question? Sorry?
Speaker 4: No, no, go ahead. The bread came out and hit
you with the head.
Speaker 14: The bread the Briton explode explode, not with the sound, yes,
go ahead, explodes out and didn't just drop off.
Speaker 10: I'd say minimum thirty feet.
Speaker 4: Thirty lady shrieks, yes, shrieks, but.
Speaker 10: She didn't scream like you know on TV.
Speaker 14: She shrieked, and then she started breathing heavily and saying, yeah,
did you.
Speaker 10: Okay, I don't know the.
Speaker 4: Bread the question. No, no, the bread came out of
nowhere and almost hit you, hit her, almost hit her.
Speaker 14: No, it went it came out one one had it right.
It came out from where it was and flew across
both of us thirty feet yes, to the dairy.
Speaker 5: So went down the aisle across the dairy.
Speaker 4: And hit the dam. We can't imagine that.
Speaker 10: Well, it went thirty feet down that way.
Speaker 4: I sha said, So that happened. He closed me up
his all in a panic. I said, you take a
deep bread, put a bag on your head. He's hyperventilated.
But now this has happened to you before. Correct.
Speaker 10: This is why I'm saying, if you let me tell the.
Speaker 4: Story, I'm just kind of color in the spaces they have.
Speaker 9: My friend.
Speaker 14: The last time, it was about twenty nineteen, I don't
remember exactly. And this time it was in twenty nineteen.
The first time it was almost exactly the same thing
in the same place.
Speaker 4: Okay, right, same bread, same brand of bread.
Speaker 14: There was a there was an employee, a young guy
in his twenties. Yes, that came and picked up the bread,
shook his head and I said, did you just see that?
And he said to me, back then twenty nineteen, you
should work here in the overnight shift.
Speaker 4: I bet all this stuff happened. Yeah, I bet.
Speaker 14: And then about three years after that, much less dramatic,
the same place, I saw a loaf of bread just
drop off. Yes, it didn't go flying anywhere. Go ahead,
that's why this time, and it's two forty five and
a Saturday, right right, I sent you pictures of it.
Speaker 10: Very mundane, you know.
Speaker 4: Every day he says to a picture of Mark that said,
this is the switch situation. Now nothing's happening. But but
all right, so listen, let's get into this, okay, because
it's only a two hour show. So yes, go ahead, place, I.
Speaker 9: Want to back up what he says.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, yeah.
Speaker 9: Oh the night on I think it was Channel thirty
five in the Hampshire.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you get to get back from the microphone.
Speaker 10: Yeah okay, I understand me now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 9: Can you hear me at all?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we can hear you. It's just okay.
Speaker 9: Well, anyways, Channel thirty five in New Hampshire on TV
the other night had a story about that the police
were called to the Market Basket store. He said there
was a report of a me and running around the
yellingwood by a ghost.
Speaker 4: I'm too bad that got cut up show.
Speaker 9: They didn't show X on there.
Speaker 4: But I did you talk to the police? Did you
talk to Lauren enforcement at all? Their X when you
were there?
Speaker 10: I couldn't understand what.
Speaker 4: Wow?
Speaker 1: Did you talk to law enforcement at all there? Grandpa?
Did you were the cops there?
Speaker 4: Of course?
Speaker 5: Not?
Speaker 4: My wow? Okay, so so why do you attribute this?
Speaker 5: So why does I I was so happy that I
had a witness.
Speaker 1: Yes, and he's got a number of Yeah, I didn't
want to say, well, tell us what do you think
is going on? What do you think it's showing on the.
Speaker 4: Bread? Ghost and Basket doesn't like you.
Speaker 10: I don't think there's anything to do with me.
Speaker 4: Well, it only happens out there, I'd be I'd be worried. Man,
What do you mean it only happens? Let me why
they've hit you three times? Now? Well for bredon when
you when you worry this.
Speaker 7: Have not They've never hit Meka.
Speaker 4: It was close though close.
Speaker 14: No, it flew in front of me to the other
pid of the store. But what I find interesting is
I sent you in twenty nineteen. Yes, and I think
it was Tewkesbury.
Speaker 4: Some place in mass Yes, there's there was.
Speaker 7: A woman who was a Victorian ghost like figure.
Speaker 14: Hit not just massive, everything's crazy mass but that hit
not just Massachusetts.
Speaker 10: News that hit USA today and even the UK.
Speaker 4: News woman Guardian, a lot of Guardian in the SMACA
back in Tewsbury. Wasn't that far away from selling the
Hampshire You know.
Speaker 10: I think it's Tewksbury.
Speaker 4: I don't know, Yeah, it was Towsbury. Yeah, and she
was spotted at the end of aisles in old Victorian
dress and stuff like that.
Speaker 5: She had a parasol because I've seen a woman like
that in Maynard when I worked there. Sorry, and I
was the only only person. I wasn't the only person
that saw this woman going through town. I thought it
was like an actors club or something. And she was
going to the paper store to pick up the newspaper
in her in her costume.
Speaker 4: Huh.
Speaker 5: And it was just a ghost kind of yeah, kind
of in that for that time Maynard, Massachusetts.
Speaker 4: Back when you were tripping, when you're doing on accident.
Speaker 5: You know, early computer company, as everybody was, everyone was
as crazy.
Speaker 1: Well thank you, miss you planned in the bat. I
just googled a haunted market Basket and.
Speaker 10: I thought I did that already.
Speaker 1: But it says a new England supermarket chain is speareding
away rumors that one of its stores is haunted. And
then another one says, uh, one market Basket employee is
a new believer because he had an issue and one
sighting in the Massachusetts grocery store. So the Wilmington one.
I guess they think that I was haunted. So you
know there's something I.
Speaker 4: Got, just Youl, not just u X right, you feel
about it?
Speaker 14: That was my point, But mine was more mundane. It
wasn't dramatic, it wasn't sexy. There still, when you see
it happened, yes, yes, it's a bit of a thing.
And when I saw this, poor lady.
Speaker 4: Well, what do you think is going on? What do
you think is behind it? I go to you for questions,
but you must have your theory. You can think for yourself.
What do you think is happening.
Speaker 5: There's a there's some ghosts that are stopped on the
the meltdown of the board of directors and all that
drama stuff like that.
Speaker 4: That right, So, I mean Macabas is a weird it's
a weird store because it.
Speaker 5: Had a vibe. Though market Basket has a vibe.
Speaker 4: There's definitely a different thing about it. And they went
on strike or they try to they try to get
rid of the guy who ran it. This is ten
years ago at least, and people stopped going to the store.
They start stop. I mean, people loved the Macca bas
so much they stopped going to the store, and they
made them bring him back. I mean, who does that
for our super market? You know? But there is a
definite kind of vibe going on there. That's and they're
cheap prices and everyone is you know, it's always you
never have a problem there. That's there.
Speaker 5: And they got a music playlist that rocks.
Speaker 4: You know, you make them playlist? Well, thank you? Can

the truck waiting, and I looked in the windows and
I saw myself walk by, really yeah, And I said,
did you leave her? You dressed the same? No, we weren't,
but uh, you know. I parked the truck and ran
in and I was like, I walked up to the
guy and I'm like, what's what's this all about? I
don't know who was more surprised him or me? Yeah,
but I had been clued into him, probably him. Like
maybe a year earlier, I was at the hardware store
and I was buying some some small stuff and the
girl said, you want to put this on your charge?
And I said, I don't have a charge here, because
of course you do. You've had a charge here for years.
I said, oh, yeah, that's what And I should have
just shut up and charged it to him, but I
didn't know his name. But anyway, I walked in and yeah,
he honestly like you. It was stunny. How can anyone
look like well, I don't know, man, he was it.
He was taller than me and probably a little heavier set,
more muscular.
Speaker 5: Doesn't everybody have a twin somewhere on the planet.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I just walked into the guy and
I mean we both stood there see him?
Speaker 4: Did you see him? And yeah, so yeah, there's the
better model.
Speaker 1: And then and we both ended up taking out I
drive his license, really each other, you know, because we
were like, yeah, look at this.
Speaker 4: You know what his name?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well no, we did not know. We didn't ever
it was his name Fitzgerald and mcconfee. I never. I
don't remember his name. But it was very shocking. Yeah,
because I've heard people say, oh, you know, I saw
my doppel ganger, and yeah, I'm like, yeah, sure, And
I saw the guy was right there walking around the store.
Speaker 4: Thank you, David. David just arrived with that wrong.
Speaker 7: Remember the Twilight Zone that was so mirror image with
Martin Milder and Via Miles. Oh yeah, they're wedding in
the bus station. Yeah, and I have a twin also,
and my twin when when when his mom saw me
at a gathering, she thought I was her son for
a few moments.
Speaker 4: Holy cow. A buddy of.
Speaker 7: Mine, Brian Zeller, who I mean, I'm a mock band
festival years ago. He said to me, you know, I've
got a brother that looks a lot like you. You
know you, and you hear that and you think, ah,
that's you know. But then I met him, and uh,
because I'm a little I'm marginally better looking, but we
look a lot the same.
Speaker 4: Wow. Huh.
Speaker 7: He's definitely more musket muscular. He could kick my too.
Speaker 4: Did he have that? He had do going?
Speaker 7: He's got He's got pretty good hair, Wow, better than mine.
Speaker 4: If I have a rain into him again, I would
take a picture with him. I would have to listen
there the pic and biscaynes right anyway, Okay, so when
don't we do this? We're going to throw it to
someone who has So we're going to read sections of
my new book tonight, which is Hot Universe Hot Too,
and do a little promo and that way I can
get it on this year's Texas for there you go
so oft with Now, who has switch? You want to start?
Speaker 7: You have them in front of you, right, almost here.
Speaker 4: Let's see just like top five, top ten. These are
just k random sections from the book. It's you know,
there's I forgot how many chapters are there are, but
you know it's it's like two and fifty pages just
crazy stuff, just lots of lists of like crazy stuff.
A lot of people like the thing is Ripley's believe.
Speaker 1: It or not.
Speaker 4: It's not quite so crazy stuff, but it's just and
the more you read it, and the whole idea is that,
you know, people want to think that we live just
like in a normal place, right, but we don't. We
stuff happens all the time around the world in our existence.
And the idea is, well, if there's altered in universes,
maybe everything goes right over there, and we're in the
haunted universe. Things just go wrong here.
Speaker 5: You know, I think we're just a population of castaways
from that other universe.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're in prison. Yep, we're imprisoning like that TV show. Okay,
all right, get you here drinking doing.
Speaker 7: Stuff here in the other universe that we have free internet.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we get boozed. They get the internet there, you go, okay,
good anyway, so switch, why don't we throw it to you. Okay, uh, Now.
Speaker 7: We're talking about the top ten insanely dangerous toys ever sold, right.
Speaker 4: The top ten and dangerously dangerous toys ever sold? A right?
Please switch?
Speaker 7: Shall I read the first one?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Sure?
Speaker 7: Number one The Gilbert U two thirty eight Atomic Energy
Lab eighteen fifty. In the age of post war optimism,
Ac Gilbert's Atomic Energy Lab promised children the thrill of
nuclear science. The forty nine to fifty kit came with
a Geiger counter, cloud chamber and actual samples of uranium
or the emitted measurable radiation. The manual encouraged kids to
see atomic energy at work by handling the materials bare handed.
Parents soon realized the fun involved genuine radioactive decay. The
kit was quickly discontinued, but surviving sets are now collectors.
Speaker 4: Either Big Running, the Big Running there nineteen fifty okay,
and there are forty nine to fifty. That's a lot
of money back, can they? But they actually gave you
a piece of uranium, okay, which probably is you don't
want to walk around with that in your pocket anyway? Yeah, okay, thanks,
Switch to a couple more of.
Speaker 7: This, all right. Number two lawn Darts nineteen fifties and
through nineteen eighties, remember them. Marketed as harmless backyard fund
these foot long metal darts were meant to be tossed
underhand toward plastic rings. Unfortunately, most ended up in skulls, shoulders,
and the occasional dog noticed cats were too smart to
get nailed. By the late nineteen eighties, at least seven
thousand injuries and several deaths had been reported. The Consumer
Product Safety Commission finally banned them in December nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 4: Wow, I remember those things, man, if you a nipmo one,
you'd know it. They hurt. Yeah, used a people out there,
drawn thrown It's thrown them way up in the air.
I'm going to catch it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, good way to get out of the service, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, right yeah. Another one then another couple of deaths,
which okay.
Speaker 7: Number three. Snack Time Cabbage Patch Kid nineteen ninety six
stack motorized doll could eat plastic food accessories that disappeared
into its backpack. The problem it couldn't tell the difference
between fake snacks and small fingers. Children across America screamed
as the dolls dolls mechanical jaws latched onto their hair
or skin, requiring parental surgery with screwdrivers and scissors. But
tow recalled a toy within months.
Speaker 4: Wow, how do you not think that's going to happen
when you launch that thing?
Speaker 5: I mean, toy development and sales goes through a lot
of cycles of not just marketing and dreaming, you know,
whiteboarding something clever but right. But with all the meetings
you have to have to in all the testing.
Speaker 4: No one said, hey, cheese eating kid's fingers and stuff. Wow,
it just yeah blows. Yeah me too.
Speaker 5: It's almost like this story really really real, but it is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, nice Please switching.
Speaker 7: Number four clackers slash click clacks. Two hard acrylic balls
on a string. No, don't insert any jokes here, A
simple hypnotic and capable of breaking the sound barrier. Kids
swung them together until they shattered, sending glass shards flying
like shrapnel. Hospitals reported eye laceration, eye lacerations, and broken bones.
Some versions even caught fire from frictional heat. Though banned
in several countries, yet the toy services every decade in
retro form because nothing says fun like concussive glass in
the hands of a ten year old.
Speaker 4: I mean, once again, how not you know why the
people put them together are used, They know the glass
and they and the whole idea was for them to
What was the origin of that toy though? What's just
to make noise and stuff like? The origin?
Speaker 5: Where did it come from? This is all American toys.
Speaker 4: Not necessarily.
Speaker 7: Well, this one says worldwide.
Speaker 4: So it was all over yeah, funny.
Speaker 7: It was killing, it was harming people all over the world.
Speaker 4: Wow, that's amazing. Let's just do one more of this,
which all right?
Speaker 7: Number five sky Dancers USA, nineteen nineties. These colorful fairy
dolls launched into the air via polstering launcher, spinning in
dazzling arcs and sometimes directly interfaces fireplaces and ceiling fans.
The wings, hard plastic edges caused hundreds of eye and
facial injuries. One girl nearly lost an eye, another broke
her nose. Nearly two hundred injuries in all were reported.
A full recall was issued on June first, two thousand
by Hasbro Toys, covering about eight point nine million sky Dancer.
I hated to have to give mine back.
Speaker 4: I'm sure I remember seeing an ad on TV for
these things that who knows when that's not a bad idea.
I mean that's a very bad idea, you know. I
mean it's from these things you pull a string and
it becomes a helicopter kind of. So it's like for
little kids too. You can see them hitting them. But
why you don't think of these things, and why you
don't prevent from recalling eight point nine million toys that's
going to cost a lot in your profit margin? Okay,
why don't you think of these things ahead of time?
I don't.
Speaker 12: I thought they test marketed toys with kids to see
if the kids really liked playing with them before they
would actually produce them.
Speaker 5: They probably like they do it now, I think because
there's a rating system connected to that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they didn't used to do that, well, but they
but they test them to see if the kids like them.
I know, if they test them for safety.
Speaker 12: Are you saying that no kid ever hurt themselves during
the testing? If there, if it was so cool, you.
Speaker 5: Had to pay, you had to pay the test kids
a lot of money to really go.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, super elastic bubble plastic.
Speaker 4: I remember.
Speaker 12: It.
Speaker 11: So that was in the seventies and eighties, and I
we used to get it, and I'll never forget. So
it's like this little putty. Ye you get a straw
that allegedly looks like a.
Speaker 4: Straw really okay, yeah, and you.
Speaker 11: Put that little ball on the end and then you
blow in it and it makes these gigantic bubbles like
balloons that you can tie off and play with.
Speaker 6: That was, do you remember when?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they always had a crazy I just looked.
Speaker 11: It up because when we got it, it always we
used to like toll it because remember when you growing
up used to like to smell the Xerox machine, the
black Magic markers.
Speaker 4: Well yeah, okay, yes.
Speaker 11: So it's made out of acetone solvent. It had toxic
fumes with ethyl ethyl acetate cool and it could be
dangerous to inhale, so they discontinued it.
Speaker 6: But you don't you don't remember that?
Speaker 4: Uh No, too busy doing apparently, I swear. Let's do
one more.
Speaker 1: One more is isn't there one there where a dad
is do with a finger printing kid or something?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Yeah, that's uh. Number six is the Battlestar Galactical,
the Galctica missile firing toy. Number seven is the one
you're talking about.
Speaker 4: Just do number seven. Then for a second.
Speaker 7: C s I Fingerprint Examination kit U S A seven
TV based.
Speaker 5: On the hit TV really branded the TV show Wow.
Speaker 7: This forensic kit invited kids to dust for fingerprints with
realistic powder. Chests later revealed the powder contained up to
seven percent tremolite asbestos, the same the same personal genet
that in Old said minimal we should be material. I
found an old insulation. Parents sue the manufacturer. The kits
were yanked for Michelle's nationwide. The irony was brutal. A
toy meant to teach kids about crime scenes became one itself.
Speaker 4: Now, of all the things that you can put this
fingerprint stuff together with, you have to use a spectos really,
I mean where do you get it? Around? Everywhere? She
is probably just cheap, that's great, yeah, cheap. Yeah, all right,
let's clap the switchy.
Speaker 10: I just want to make a comment to Switch. If
you did do this, I apologize.
Speaker 4: That's jumping on the most.
Speaker 14: Famous dangerous toy for kids, especially at Christmas time is
the most famous Christmas movie, Red Rider bb Gun.
Speaker 10: And I can't believe that switch.
Speaker 7: He didn't mention that.
Speaker 4: Well, there's a ten.
Speaker 10: Where the expression came from put your ryeah with that.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah. The Mattel also used to have a gun
that shot plastic bullets, hot plastic bullets, A fan of
fifty they call it. And you know you could shoot
bullets with the thing. I mean you could shoot real
bullets with it, as it turns out. But it's amazing
when they get away with I just don't understand the
pitch meanings. Like the caps.
Speaker 5: I like guns to shooting caps, those little puffs of
Nigel glcering or whatever.
Speaker 4: Probably I used to get when.
Speaker 5: I lived in Chilestown. I used to get the caps,
a box of caps for the gun. But you know
what I used to do is you get the rollers
in a roll. Yeah, roll it out and get a
rock of some kind of rocky road that I lived on,
and bang the bang the cap until it exploded in
your face.
Speaker 10: I was just gonna say, Mac, you don't remember I
was doing that. We didn't do it.
Speaker 4: We did growing up. We knew a cap guy. We'd
have like big rolls of them right off off of
Bunker Hill.
Speaker 5: I was there doing You could hear the noise from
Bunker Hill, yeah, the gun shots.
Speaker 1: Anyway, we went near Bunker Hill we weren't doing shooting
off caps. We were going first. We'd go to the
joke shop by the Stink bombs stink, and then climb
up the Bunker Hill monument and drop them the seven

all the way to the bottom.
Speaker 4: You were the one.
Speaker 5: You never hit anybody with that, I know, I never
really looked, you know, but.

Speaker 1: We'd go to the swan boats. Don't talk about the
swan boats. Pick up like the guys to seat the guy? Yeah, yeah,
put put one under the air and then he'd sit
on it and about halfway around the smell would come out.
I'll tell you story about the swan boats.

Mattell's Battlestar Galactica ships came with spring loaded missiles that
could actually shoot and tragically choke. A four year old
boy died after swallowing one of the red plastic projectiles,
prompting an immediate recall. The design led to new federal
regulations on projectile toys, still in place today. Collectors now
refer to the pre pre call models as death launchers

good friend Brandy X up there in Kringle in Wisconsin. Brandy, Hi, everybody,
what a fun show. Okay, it's hilarious. It's not over yet.
And I said, before I get a magazine a catalog
of Kringles in the mail today or yesterday. It's talking
about forty pages long. You know that's Benny Kringles. Wow. Wow,
didn't you get another magazine in the mail? Well? What
do you mean?
Speaker 12: Was that.
Speaker 4: Gambling bingo something?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 4: Why they have gambling magazines? What do you mean? Why
don't we just say that maybe I heard? I heard?
You're wrong. I thought earlier you said you got something
in the mail about was it the Kringle thing? Or yeah?
Is it Kringle? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, oh here it is
one is uh? I was he actually got Wow, he's
given me the kind of like, oh I must I misunderstood.
Let's uh, we should explain that up in Cringle, up
in Wisconsin where Randy is. Kringle is a I don't know.
It's a the favorite dessert type of pastry. The type
of pastry it looks like it's a circle, it looks
like a coffee ring and what we call him New England,
but it's it's more compact, it's a little more oval shape.
And they put like there's about ninety different brands of them, right,
here's a pepperoni one, here's a onion one. No, but
they're all like very confection. But we got one last
year and yeah, I'll only have one piece and the
thing was gone by.
Speaker 5: You can't just eat a piece. You can't just slide
out right slice out a a piece like a piece
of pie.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I have this.
Speaker 5: Speak within five minutes later even another piece. Next thing,
you know, you've eaten half of it. Because within the
time you've consumed a cup of tea, you've eaten half
a cringle.
Speaker 4: Why are we talking about food tonight? This is really
bad anyway? Uh so, uh have you been eating kringles? Long?
I don't know what else? Say? Ask your brandy.
Speaker 12: I'm doing we're doing holiday baking now, so it's cookies now.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, you know we're on cookies right now? Do
you bake? Do you make kringles?
Speaker 12: Or I am not a kringle baker.
Speaker 4: It looked like it would take a lot to make
one of these things, because.
Speaker 12: I worked at a bakery and they made kringles.
Speaker 4: Yea, but not.
Speaker 12: No, I'm not that talented.
Speaker 4: What was it like working at a bakery? Would you
eat there?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 12: It was a nightmare though, because I had to be
there early in the morning, like it wasn't a midnight bakery,
which would have been awesome, but I had to get
up and so that was the worst part of it.
But the lady that ran it was amazing, and she
wasn't supposed to eat any of the pastries herself, so
she would always walk by the pastry case and pull
pull something out of the case and break it in
half and say, oh, I broke it.
Speaker 4: I guess we better eat it all right, give me half. So,
so are you not a morning person?
Speaker 1: I'm not.
Speaker 4: Really interesting, but you stay up late?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Wow? More of a night owl? Oh yeah, okay, what
does this? What are you out of the date?
Speaker 12: No?
Speaker 4: No, I'm just I'm curious because I mean, I'm a
morning person. I'm I'm up early, and what time do
you get up? I'll say it again twice. Now that
I'm not working away from home ten years, elime goes
off for six six two hours before that's four unless
you I wake up dragging my barrels out of something.
Happened the guy struck. Yeah, yeah, they can.
Speaker 14: Anyway, you're you're not drinking latte and eating chocolate e cliars.
Speaker 4: But I didn't know twenty years.
Speaker 1: I have at this point three very large cats, and
one of them insists on like last night, woke me
up three times by standing on me because she wanted
me to fill her dish. She's on a diet, does
she know it? So I'm up all night. I'm I'm
not as it always come back to the cats too.
There's more of them in the house than there are people.
But I don't sleep. I'm really terrible sleep. So can
can can we go back to plugging my book?
Speaker 4: Please? What's the name of this book, mccaloney's Haunted Universe
Book two. There's no cat's cat Free. There's no cats.
So anyway, so Brandy, you have a list, right you? Okay?
Would you want to read it to us?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 6: What is it?
Speaker 4: What is the list?
Speaker 12: The list is the top five telephone calls from the dead.
Speaker 4: Oh man, this is creepy. This is telephone calls. Yeah,
this is really A switch has done reports on this before,
you know, so I said to look into it. And
these are very creepy when I was doing it late
at night, you know, and then sure enough the phone rings.
Oh anyway, So.
Speaker 7: Man, could you use a Rogo's book at all?
Speaker 4: You know, it was a variety of our resources. Yeah.
So please, Brandy, this is top five phone calls from
the dead please okay.
Speaker 12: So number one is the quote unquote Willie call from
Sweden from nineteen ninety nine. In nineteen ninety nine, a
Swedish woman named Ava reported receiving several late night phone
calls from her recently husband Willie. She said his distinctive
voice apologized for his sudden death and assured her that
he was fine now. Caller ID displayed Willy's old number
during each call, even though his phone line had already
been disconnected. The clarity of the voice and the familiarity
of the phrasing convinced EVA that the calls were genuine
attempts at communication. EVA managed to record one of the calls,
capturing a man's voice layered over faint static and electronic hum.
When Scandinavian parapsychologists examined the recording, they found no signs
of trickery, nor any evidence of radio interference or line crosstalk.
The case has since been cataloged among Europe's most notable
examples of instrumental transcommunication or ITC, the theory that deceased
individuals may occasionally manipulate electronic devices to contact the living.
Speaker 4: Now, how creepy is that she made a recording and
it's it's her husband's voice. You know you even if
it was a hoax, would be it's such an elaborate
hoax that it wouldn't be worth doing it, you know anyway,
anybody else my motive? Yeah, what would be the model
unless the husband set it up as a joke before
he died. Well, that's kind a joke.
Speaker 1: Oh you know how you wanted to feel good and said, hey,
I'm cool, don't worry about me. A missionable number two?
That well done, Number two bleed number two.
Speaker 12: The Chaffin will case from North Carolina in nineteen twenty five.
When North Carolina farmer James Chaffan died, his estate appeared
settled under a will that left everything to one son,
But months later, another son claimed he received a strange
phone call in which his father's voice urged him to
examine an old family bible. Disturbed but curious, he opened
the Bible and discovered a second handwritten will hidden between
its pages, one dividing the estate equally among all four sons.
The handwriting matched the elder Chafins exactly, and the courts
accepted the document as genuine. The timing of the discovery
was equally unsettling. The hidden will surfaced just days before
the family planned to sell the property. The sudden message,
the accuracy of the handwriting, and the legal system's acceptance
of the new will made the case famous. Long before
modern stories of ghostly phone calls. The Chafin case stood
as an unusual intersection of alleged communication from the dead
and official courtroom fact.
Speaker 4: Just back of the twenties, right those twenty five you've said,
imagine that's waiting that the court accepted it is your
very young maybe believe that's an ice stream there. Well,
I mean, it's just strange that they would enter it
intolote evidence. That's right.
Speaker 1: If there was no date on it, which one preceded
the other is what the big thing would be if
it was dated right as the latest.
Speaker 4: One they must have been if the court accepted it. Yeah,
I mean, he gets a phone call and someone tips
into this number three, Please brain okay.
Speaker 12: Number three. Charles Peck's cell phone mystery from California in
two thousand and eight. When Metrolink train one eleven derailed
and crashed near Los Angeles on September twelfth, two thousand
and eight, twenty five people were killed, including forty nine
year old passenger Charles Peck. But in the hours that
followed the crash, Peck's cell phone began calling his fiance,
his parents, and his son more than thirty times in total.
Each time they answered, they heard only static, and each
time they called back, the phone went straight to voicemail.
The repeated dialing continued for nearly eleven hours, giving family
members hope that he might still be alive somewhere inside
the wreckage. Rescue teams trace the phone's signal and searched
the twisted train cars, only to discover Peck's body. Records
showed that he had died on impact, long before the
calls began. Experts suggested possibilities ranging from network anomalies to
phantom calls, but none could explain why the phone appeared
to dial his loved ones one by one or why
the final call came just minutes before rescuers located him.
Speaker 4: Is that creepy enough foroya? Sounds like a twilight zone?
Why would it? I could almost see a downing one
number over and over, but why would it? Dial? Watch you?
Speaker 9: Is?
Speaker 4: Wow? Okay? The next one? Please? Brandy?
Speaker 12: Okay? Number four? The ghost call to a radio station.
This is from Chicago in nineteen ninety four. In nineteen
ninety four, a late night host at Chicago's w jj
D received an unsettling on air call from a listener
who identified himself as David. The caller spoke in a flat,
exhausted voice, describing himself as lonely, hopeless, and contemplating suicide.
After the show ended, police contacted the station to report
that a man named David, matching the caller's agent description,
had been found dead hours before the broadcast began. The
timeline left the host and station staff shaken. Station engineers
reviewed the phone system and confirmed the call had come
through a normal incoming line, not recording or delayed playback.
Nothing in the logs explained how a call could originate
from a man already deceased. In the following weeks, the
host received a series of late night calls during the
same broadcast hour each from numbers that could not be traced.
The incident circulated quietly through Chicago radio circles as one
of the strangest moments in local broadcasting history.
Speaker 4: Yeah wow, Wow, that's weird. Really weird illustration How many more?
Speaker 12: One?
Speaker 4: One more? Okay, here we go. These are all from
Npaloney's Anti Universe book two, coming out in May. Apparently, hey, Brandy, right, so.
Speaker 12: Number five is the afterlife operator from the UK in
nineteen seventy seven. In nineteen seventy seven, a London widow
known as Missus Edwards reported that while speaking with a
telephone operator, a second voice suddenly broke into the line,
the unmistakable voice of her deceased sister. The voice addressed
her by a childhood nickname that few living people knew,
speaking clearly and calmly. The operator also heard the interruption
and immediately checked the switchboard, only to find that the
voice was not coming from any active line or connection
under her control. The call went silent moments later, leaving
both women shaken. British Telecom conducted an internal investigation and
found no evidence of cross wires, playback or technical malfunction
that could account for the event. The operator eventually filed
an official report stating that she believed quote someone not
living unquote had briefly joined the conversation.
Speaker 4: Wow wow really ah yeah, huh creepy.
Speaker 12: Well and if she filed a report, yeah, you know
that that really happened to both of them.
Speaker 4: But how strange that the dead could break into a
telephone line, you know, that could be Yeah, what what's
going on over there?
Speaker 5: I don't think we know yet how powerful the reach
is of the dead these days.
Speaker 4: But the strange that you go through an electronic device,
you know, and that you see the.
Speaker 12: Was it Alfred Hitchcock or twilet zone where the phone
line was down and the widow's husband kept calling her
and he was talking like in a Garby voice, and
think that was a twilight.
Speaker 4: Zone twilight zone and the wire was down on top
of his grave. Yes, was spooky. It was on the switch.
Definite twilight zone.
Speaker 6: He said.
Speaker 7: Gladys Gladys Gladys Cooper was the play of the old woman.
That was a yeah, sorry, I'm a geek. And they
had the one with Billy Mooney his grandmother had died
and was trying to get him to kill himself so
she could come and meet her. Oh God, was that creepy?
Speaker 11: Yes?
Speaker 7: And there's another one, Mac. There's a book that has
been republished called Phone Calls from the Dead by Scott
Rogo and Raymond Bayless. I bought the hardcover back in
the seventies and minds falling apart. They finally have reprinted it.
And man, and there's one in there where a woman
answers the phone and she hears the voice of this child.
She's trying to place it, and she says, who are you?
And she says, well, I'm Rubey, you know me. I'm Ruby.
Now Ruby had died a couple of years before, and
the reason she called was to warn that a neighbor
was in trouble. And Ruby says to her that she says,
they said I couldn't call you, But here I am,
aren't I Is that creepier one? This woman goes next
door and saves this guy from injury.
Speaker 4: Damn Wow. Okay, So let's clap for Brandy for her
report in her glasses. So these are all from macloney's
hundred Universe book two coming out in May, trying to
get the same artist that did the first one. Remember
everyone but nuts over the cover of the Yeah, it
was pretty good. There are people, You've got posters of
it and stuff like that. But yeah, more more jim
packed than the first one, and more creepier stories than
the first one.
Speaker 7: And I have a question, matc is is uh the
same guy going to write the introduction that did last
week in the forward?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 11: Is he?
Speaker 7: Is he going to read the book this time?
Speaker 4: I got to say no, no, no, no. You know
who's doing the forward is Martin Willis a UFO podcast. Ye,
we love Martin. Yeah, and uh uh yeah, so that's
coming out in uh in May. You know, I'm sure
we'll do some kind of promotion before before, but it
shocked me, even me. It's some of the creepiest stories
that you know, that that came upon in the research
and say wow, and there's ways you can check them
these days? Is this factual? And so on? And and
they check out. And a lot of strange things happen
around us every day. I mean, just this how it is.
Speaker 1: You know, we don't want to believe in gohoes, so UFOs,
you know, like just odd stuff like phone calls from
the dead, but it happens all the time, and there's
so many people in the world that you know, it
hadn't happened to watch yet.
Speaker 4: But whatever it does happen.
Speaker 5: There's an uptick in the interest around the subject because
there's more and more experiences being broadcast from the various
social media that we now enjoy.
Speaker 4: Exactly, there's a there's another there's another section in there
Police Office. Text from the dead, you know, people getting
text from dead, you know, a month later and stuff.
Oh anyway, thank you, Brandy. So why don't we just
continue this? We get a little twenty minutes to go. Susan, Kay,

you'll be the first one to read it. Okay, sorry,
now we did send it to you. Uh anyway, Okay,
this is really good. This one was was really strange.
This is has with just weird stuff that had happened.
So it's called the ghost Light two thousand and five
Helio's Airways Flight five fifty two of Boweing seven thirty seven.
Hepotted Cypress or Prague August fourteenth to two thousand and
five with the schedule stop in Athens. Shortly after take off,
the pressuration the press rasation presser. How do you say
that pressurization fault went unnoticed by the crew, causing the
cabin's auction levels to drop. As the aircraft climbed, both
pilots and most passengers lost consciousness due to hypoxia. With
the autopilot engaged, the seven thirty seven continued climbing to
its aside altitude and proceeded along its program route, irresponsive
to all, unresponsive to twelve radio calls, Greeky had Defense
soon intercepted the aircraft. Two F sixteen's pilots flew alongside
the drifting jet and saw the pilots slumped over oxygen
mass dangling and the passenger cap and they observed a
lone flight attend that still conscious because he had retrieved
a portable oxygen bottle. He eventually entered the cockpit and
tried to take control of the aircraft, but the engines
soon flamed out as the fuel was exhausted. At twelve
or four PM, after nearly two hours on auto pilot,
like five point fifty two, descended uncontrolled and crashed into
a hillside about twenty five miles south of Athens, killing
all one hundred and twenty one people on one. Wow.
That weird. I feel worse for the guy that was
still awake. Yeah really Yeah, because you were aware the
rest of them were out, they were gone.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 4: This is something this story has something to do, actually
has a connection to Boston. So this is On the
morning of December sixth, nineteen seventeen, a Norwegian reliefship the
ss Imo and the French musicianship musician munition ship ss
mond Plank collided in the Narrow Channel and Halifax Harbor
up in Canada. What looked like a minor peacetime accident
this during World War One, concealed the catastrophic danger. The
Mount Black was packed with nearly three thousand tons of
high explosives, including petric acid, TNT and gun cotton, which
were intended for the Allied wire Reford in Europe. Fires
broke out on the French vessel immediately after the collision,
sending thick black smoke billowing over the harbor as the
ship drifted towards the shore. At nine o four am,
the Mount Black exploded exploded in one of the most
powerful non nuclear blasts in human history. The fireball vaporized
the ship, leveled entire neighborhoods, and shattered windows fifty miles away.
The shockwave raced across the harbor, driving a wall of
water ashore and sweeping people, real cars in debris into
the streets. Nearly two thousand people were killed instantly, and
in the hours that followed, more than nine thousand were
injured and twenty five thousand residents were left homeless in
a matter of seconds. The devastation was so complete that
investigators later compitted parts of halifacts to the western front.
Entire blocks of obliterated railroad yards were torn a pot,
and there's a Native indigenous community up there that was
completely wiped out. Rescue workers struggled through the snow of
freezing temperatures and fallen buildings to reach survive as trapped
beneath the wreckage to make matters where a blizzard arrive
the next day, slowing relief efforts and worsening the suffering
of those exposed to the cold. So what happened was
in Boston. This is back then, okay, nineteen you know,
during World War two, and word of that got back
to Boston nineteen seventeen and Boston somehow put together like
a train of supplies and it was in Halifax like
not even like the next day. It was some incredible turnaround.
And so every year that's where the Boston Christmas Tree
comes from up there, and the mayor wu was out
there cutting it down Halifax, Nova Scotia. Yeah yeah, And
they thought because of the bad blood between US and Canada,
they wouldn't do it this yet, but they did. Ye.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, Boston was the first to actually try to
help them. So yeah, right, that's something that I don't
think they're going to let politics get involved in. But
that was at the time the most brutal explosion that
ever happened on the planet, non nuclear explosion. Even to
this day, it's the biggest part of non nuclear yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the devastation I mean through railroad cars miles. They
said that the when the two ships hit, the people
on the one carrying the munitions because of the way
they moved into the harbor, the wind was blowing it
from the ship that didn't have the munitions towards the
one that did, okay, and the crew started abandoning ship
and swam the shore screaming at everybody, you know, to
get the hell out of there, because this thing is
going to go. And when it did, it was it
left a hole in the harbor. Yeah, yeah, it was
dry land. Just two thousand people just instantly killed, vaporized.
Speaker 4: That was crazy. Wow. Okay, well let's let's leave in
a higher note. Okay, now this is weird. Okay. This
is called the Bolsking House in Lockness, Scotland. Rock legend
Jimmy Page of led Zeppelin bought the notorious Bollskiing House
in nineteen seventy, bronto the mansion's long standing notoriety as
the former home of acultis Alistair Crowley. Page spoke openly
about the estate's die reputation, seeing he believed that the
house carried a powerful and unsettling presents. That's what you're
do when you do a lot of coke. Anyway, His
longtime caretaker reported far more vivid disturbances, franchis sliding across
the empty room, stores slamming in the middle of the night,
and the unmistakable sound of something heavy dragging across the
floorboards when no one else was inside the manswer's remote location.
The show's locked nests only deep in the sense of
isolation and on these Page finally sold the place in
nineteen ninety two. Yeah, Alister Crowley, he was like the
first guy who he was a famous occultist, I think
you would say. But he had all kinds of like
kind of witchcraft books and stuff like that, had a
big following and so on, and Jimmy pagell like buys
this house.
Speaker 5: Wow, huh, Okay, I think Jimmy Page is that kind
of a guy who would enjoy the ambiance of.
Speaker 4: The former resident of that house, right, yeah, yeah, oh yeah,
he got into that. And I think oz Osmond did
a song about Okay, so we have like about eight
minutes left. One you want to read a couple of
weird things about North Korea. You got off the North
Korea is a very I can't believe that they can
still and you'll have to find it on that. I
can't believe that they can still kind of get away
with being so isolated. Okay.
Speaker 1: It's funny if you go onto YouTube and you look
there are people who are defectors right come to this
country to visit, and they are so shocked, I can't believe,
so stunned by and then they show some of the
people of military people and they'll show them like what
an A ten can do?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah yeah, and.
Speaker 1: There they're shocked that we have the capacity to do that.
And what even surprises them more is the government lets
us see it.
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, like the govern knows you to over there
so much from the beginning, something from birth, so you believe,
you know.
Speaker 1: But when an A ten comes in for an attack
with that fifty caliber cannon in the front or whatever,
it just obliterates oh yeah, yeah, yeah, like anything in
the size of a football. Yeah, right, exactly, And the
gun makes that Burt noise, right, and actually some of
them have Burt from Sesame Street painted on the nose
because it's Burt.
Speaker 4: Well, if you see a video of it, the the
the cannon shells land before you hear the noise. That's
the funny thing, you know, they obliterate something the size
of the football field.
Speaker 10: Then you hear this, yeah a technical correction.
Speaker 4: Yeah it running, thank you. Let me just read one
real quick and then one we can reafew. So basically
North Korea started after World War Two and they had
this one guy and they always had these really weird names.
Kim Ill Sung is the guy who you know, started
it with the Russians help, and then he died and
his son called one hung Low, you know, he took
over and and and and then he died. And the
guy who's in there now, Kim al Un, is running things.
But because of these people, they actually made up this
whole different kind of history about them and what they
say about that. The the old man, the guy who
discovered it. Not only was he was, you know, put
on earth by God, there were new stars that appeared
when he was born. He was built, He was born
on top of a mountain which is now revered by
people in North Korea. Okay, but he also invented the hamburger.
They said that he's the guy he invented the hamburger.
And and they say his son who came after him.
On his first round of golf, he had eleven holes
in one. Imagine him on the tour. And then the
guy who's in there now, right, Kim hal Yun. Right,
he was driving when he was three years old. And
you know, people believe this stuff. So anyway, so the
thing is is that even in death can't remove Kim
from power. The country's founder, Kim l Sung remains the
North Korean's eternal president. He's still running things decades after
dying in nineteen ninety four. His son, who died in
twenty eleven, is forever the eternal General Secretary. This means
the country is technically ruled by two dead men, a
political system unique in human history. There are portraits of
both hung in every home, office, and school in North Korea,
watched over by with religious devotion. They gave him a
special cloth to wash off their portraits, and the tops
can come into a house at any time to see
if you're maintaining the portraits correctly. If not, you go
to the re education. Go ahead. The didn't want it.
Speaker 5: I want to read something called North Korea's pleasure squads. Now,
I think every country should have a pleasure squad.
Speaker 4: Go ahead.
Speaker 5: Several high level North Korean defectors have described the existence
of special female groups assembled to entertain the country's ruling elite.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I don't want to interrupt you, but now
we get the cat looking at can stop working when
you stop talking? Can he go to ghost sleep? Go
eat something? There?
Speaker 12: You go?
Speaker 4: Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 16: It's creepy right over there. And when you were talking.
She came over here and had to That's why I'm moving.
I'm like, she's staring right.
Speaker 4: At the camera exactly. There's a joke in there some
wayment I'm not well. I switched. Get that.
Speaker 7: It's an invisible cat. Yeah, yeah, it's the paranormal aspect
of the show. Look at that pretty cool.
Speaker 4: If they were allow the problems go ahead, we are
wanting so.
Speaker 5: These groups are sometimes referred to as pleasure squads.
Speaker 4: I love the name.
Speaker 5: According to these accounts, pleasure squads include young women and
their teens selected not only to perform music, dance, or
ceremonial duties for Kim Dynasty elites, but also to fulfill
personal or intimate roles. Defectors report these women were usually
dismissed in their early twenties and provided with housing, goods
or payments. Upon leaving their positions. They are required to
sign non disclosure pleasures and are instructed not to speak
about their service after reassignment.
Speaker 4: That's going on every day. How do you see Epstein
in Korea?
Speaker 5: Another one I caught my eye from the book available
everywhere in May is this one hundred Universe revised one
hundred Universe two too. Yeah, all news stories, okay, A
band on blue jeans in North Korea. Wearing blue denim
in North Korea is illegal. Viewed as a symbol of Western,
especially American influence, authorities prohibit visibly American style blue jeans
in public as part of ongoing restrictions on capitalist fashion.
While denhim itself is not banned, only muted colors such
as black, gray, or dark brown are considered acceptable. Border guards,
youth league monitors, and workplace supervisors routinely enforced dress codes,
and citizens wearing bright blue jeans are told to change
or face disciplinary actions. You can't imagine what the discipline
reactions as would be. I think it's just funny that way.
You go to the re education camp, then you go
to the pleasures thing. Yeah yeah, and you're and you're
in the barrel. You know so, I guess LEVI says
in that place built a plant.
Speaker 4: In North Korea.
Speaker 6: There's a good name for a band.
Speaker 4: I like it. My first album is in the barrel.
We run more than We'll wrap this.
Speaker 7: Up, all right, you know, Matt, there is one more
toy we might want to go ahead, Okay, let me
bring it up here.
Speaker 4: Hopefully it was built in North curl.
Speaker 7: Okay, the Austin Magic Pistol USA nineteen forties. This toy
looked like a ray gun and fired glowing ping pong
balls using a magic crystal actually calcium carbide. When mixed
with water, it produced a settling gas, a highly explosive
compound use in welding torches. Kids would load the gun,
hear a pop, and watch the projectile shoot dozens of
feet until the chamber occasionally exploded in their hands. After
multiple injuries in at least one fatal blast, the pistol
disappeared from catalogs.
Speaker 4: Geez, imagine that. I can't imagine. Wow, this is so.
This is from a chapter twenty five really weird Things
about North Korea and wrap it up them.
Speaker 5: I got one called weird weird. Rules on music. North
Korea tightly controls all forms of music with its borders.
Only state approved songs that praise the Kim family, celebrate
the military, or promote ideological themes permitted. Foreign music, including
South Korean pop, western rock, and even neutral international tunes,
is officially prohibited. Possession of unauthorized music can result a
harsh punishment. Several defectors have reported cases in which teenagers
caught listening to South Korean music was sent to re
education camps.
Speaker 4: Wouldn't it be just easier to just let it all in?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: It wouldn't it be easy. It must take a lot
of work to force all these rules to make sure
everyone is towing the line. Wouldn't it be just easier
to let it all happen?
Speaker 1: But they probably figured that's just the beginning of the
slide though, if you start letting that and then.
Speaker 4: Then but subversive thought, Yeah, but look at South Korea,
the fourth most powerful industrial nation in the world, South Korea.
Why couldn't not Korea be like that? You know, why
couldn't it just be Korea like it's now? Germanists, It
seems to take a lot of work to hang on
to something that it's tough to get at the old
dead guys to get them out of office. Yeah that's true. Yeah.
So anyway, so the name of the thank you one
one let's clap the one we don't do it time, mac.
Speaker 10: I just want to make a correction to al has
a thirty milimeter canon not a twenty.
Speaker 4: Milimeter Okay, all right, big that is cheap, is.
Speaker 10: No wonder it makes a big bump.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah. The the shelves that looked like almost
like little bowling pins. That's how big they are, you
know what I mean. One of them can take out
a tank and you face about one hundred of them
coming down at you. Were an incredibly high rate of fire.
Speaker 1: Offset in the front of the right of the machine,
which right, it's really kind of wild.
Speaker 4: They had to do that to put the landing gear
in the is offset on the other side, so the
landing gear is actually off to the side. Okay, but yeah,
in the in the pilot because he flies very low,
is in a titanium bathtub. Yeah, protectives. Yeah, pretty well,
great airplane, just does.
Speaker 10: An Army guy. I want to add the A ten
is the Army's favorite airplane.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah. I can fly over the close support right
for hours. They can just go back and forth to hours. Yeah.
So anyway, okay, so, uh, I guess that's the end
of the show. Right looking down?
Speaker 11: Can I ask, yes, Brandy, do you have the little
calendar thing?
Speaker 4: I do?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 10: I got my twitch?
Speaker 6: Did you get yours?
Speaker 7: And I did?
Speaker 6: Do you all know what advent calendars are?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 11: So I grew up with them as as a child,
but I can only get four. So al has one
switch club and every day you open a door and
do you have an example of one of the little things.
Speaker 4: Yeah, here's here's the what's the door for the today's state?
Speaker 6: Correct? Until the until Christmas? There's ooops, right here is
one of the there's a centaur. Oh yeah, yeah, there
is so cute.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: I wonder if all four have the same cryptid in
each they do?
Speaker 5: I had Brandy.
Speaker 11: It was following out, so I had to I had
to put them all back into those little pockets.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 5: But date did that come out of Brandy?
Speaker 1: That one?
Speaker 12: I don't know which because I put them. I'm just
I'm not putting them in order. I just put them
on a little yeah, like a line because I want
to like hang it.
Speaker 4: Ye, we stay one. Very nice of you, Susan. By
the way, growing up, we'd have a real live Ben
Karen and I. Yeah, turned the thing and say go
shovel the driveway. I mean, the only one I've ever
really seen is on your Christmas Vacation movie. Oh they
want Yeah, they open it up every day of their
different disaster you know.
Speaker 9: Oh that was on bad Santa. I haven't seen he
used to take them and eat all the chocolates they
belong to the little kid again with he went in
there and took all the chocolates them.
Speaker 5: That is such a fantastic movie, is it really? My
wife can't stand it. She did, doesn't want to face.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't wouldn't, I wouldn't wasteen.
Speaker 5: Every time I come across Sancho and I don't know
what what channel it's on, the Paramount or something, I said, Oh,
put in my watch list Bad Santa. I bought the
director's cut, but all my movie, All my movie DVD's
got director.
Speaker 6: With Billy Bob Thornton.
Speaker 9: Yes, yeah, I love he deserves an Oscar for that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think the Bad Santa character is
the same character that stars in land Man and Yeah
land Man, land Man, Yeah, Yilly Bob. He talks like that.
He does that bit all the time. I didn't think
she's really.
Speaker 4: Like that anyway. Okay, on that note, why don't we
wrap up the show. Okay, let's give ourselves a hand now.
Next week, if everything goes right, knock on hood, we're
gonna have Mary the Psychic back big hit a month ago.
I'm gonna have three strangers come in and she's going
to tell them who they are and what's going on
with them in the spirit world. So we're looking forward
to that. Also, let's see a plug Most Troops. Most
Troops is a military organization that raises money for our
veterans who have been hurt in combat after nine to eleven,
that's the Afghan War and the Iraqi War. I'll tell
you in this book there's a lot of really strange
stuff that went on during those two wars. American servicemen, soldiers,
service people going into another culture. Is that bleazing ghosts
just like we believe in religion. They're called the Gin.
That's the Middle Eastern ghost. And there's so encounters and
weird stuff happening to our soldiers over there again over
radios and stuff, but just really strange stuff, like you know,
being out in the middle of nowhere and hearing a
voice in the desert whisper the names of the people
who are at the little fort. Okay, I mean, how
do they know? You know? Just the one that sticks
with me is that there was this little outpost in
Afghanistan that the Marines had and it's called Tower twenty two.
And no matter what, if they put their night vision
goggles up on this ridge line near them, there was
a there was one person up there, and they just
stood there. If you looked out without the nightment, they
weren't there. If you looked at it the heat or
whatever some other some other kind of way to look
in them to have vision in the night, he wasn't there.
Or if you look through the night vision glasses, he
was there. Never moved, always looking. Uh they send people
climbing up there. No one was around. Just really weird
and just really strange stuff, you know. Anyway, Yeah, so anyway.
Speaker 7: And back can I add to that. Gordon Crichton, one
of the editors of the of the Flying Sauce of Review,
that great British publication that lasted for so many decades
back in the eighties, he talked about the Gin and
he talked about some of the interesting parallels between you know,
UFO contacts and and folk Florada from other other traditions.
So and then and Ruffel followed that, and then Rosemary
and Ellen Guiley. A lot of these researchers saw an
interesting parallel between some of the incidents with the with
the Gin and with what we think of as UFO
pilots or or entities from elsewhere. Very interesting connection.
Speaker 4: Well, you know that's where all civilizations started over there.
That's the thing. You know, Iraq is now and so
their culture is like thousands of years old. You know,
in America, our culture is like two hundred and fifty
years old, whatever it is. In England, it's your thousand
years the Vikings, right, but over there it goes back
like five six thousand years. There's a cemetery in Iraq
that has more than a million people buried in it
because it's been around since sixteen hundred, you know, just
very strat different culture. And Americans like kind of thrown
into that, and the locals would say, don't pick up
the pottery, don't bring anything home with you, don't do this,
don't go into abandoned buildings at night, stuff like that,
and they would do it, and you know they kind
of felt the consequences, you know, very odd things over that.
So anyway back to homestrut troops. These are veterans of
ours who were wounded in Iraq are in Afghanistan. These
are people came home missing a limb usually and so
homestrut troops bills them in these houses that are adapted
to their needs, lower kind of space, not a lot
of stairs, things like that. And then when they're done,
they're very nice houses. They rip up the mortgage, they
give them the keys. It's their home for the rest
of their lives. They don't have to pay a mortgage
payment every month. These people who gave a lot to us,
we should give a lot to them. Please, homes for
our troops. Look them up on Google. See what they're about.
Ninety cents a year a dollar those rights to our veterans.
Homes for our troops. Also have to apologize once again
that we have no control over the ads that Apple
pod Cast puts in the middle of our broadcast. They
just kind of put them in there. We talk about
it all the time. They don't put them in at
any kind of strategic point. They just like drop them
in the middle of nowhere. That's annoying enough. But now
lately they've been having ice recruiting ads on and I
just get to say, as speaking for myself, I'm so
anti ice recruiting ads on the show. It drives me nuts.
But there's nothing we can do about us, so we apologize. Also,
Kenny was not a loser. He was someone who you
look up to. You don't make fun of them people
like that. And so this is MAC for the entire
gang saying you see us, I hear us. Next time,
please be safe, be happy, and and bye bye
