Listener Stories: Vol. 114

I am so mad because today was the day I was gonna bring my Lola blanket upstairs with me But then I took a nap this morning in my bed with it and I just was like oh it belongs here and I forgot Yeah, but alas it's in my cave I will say the only thing better about my Lola than other Lola's is that mine constantly has a puppy on top of it But all right It's also machine washable which just popped in my head because of cats dogs etc Like that's the best part and children also But like you just toss in the wash and it's clean and it's just as stretchy and floofy and it's faux fur But it feels like so luxurious. Oh my gosh No, Lola is definitely a go-to gift if you have anybody in your life who wants the joy of feeling cozy or soft or warm at night or Protected by the most gentle cloth that the angels knit themselves I get them a little like it. It's it's truly wonderful with you if you don't feel that way You know what I mean like go see a therapist.

I Still wait for like the teacher to come into the room and go. Okay. It's time to begin but no Well, you have been taking a lot of classes, so you would be in the mindset of a student I can understand that a little bit. I am and and my ASL class is definitely my favorite one I'm taking but the teacher to get our attention is claps really loud And to be fair, she is actually a hard of hearing and so I don't think she realizes how loud the clap is and so she Oh, oh, I bet she does. Oh, I bet she does and I bet she that's why she fucking does it And it works so she she knows for sure it's working at least but wow I'll start just well We do clap at the beginning of of this and it does usually just startle geo out of his naps. So Yeah, I've tried try to um, you know, I did chi gong yoga today How was that and did you go somewhere for that or was that in home? I went to the y of the ymca And I know I'm a proud member of the ymca now as of today and I'm so I my mom has been like holding out on me for years She like goes to the y and she always framed it as just like oh a bunch of old people and I do like uh Water aerobics and I'm like okay like senior water aerobics and I'm like, okay cool Well, I didn't know like you get this ymca thing you can go to anyone in the greater Cincinnati area They have like a crazy amount of like classes and Pools and you can reserve everything on the app and I'm like, what have I been missing out here? So I did chi gong yoga with my mother Um, was that fun? I watched watching her do plow try attempt to do plow pose was really remarkable Um, it's the one where you lay on your back and then you pull your you put your toes over your head like that And hold your low back. No and like it's one of my favorites and And of course my mom is so competitive and she's a leo and she's just she's a leo by the way Fuck me. She's a leo son and a leo rising. I found out last week And I'm like no wonder and so she's over there like Try not like roll herself over. I'm like we're gonna end up in the emergency room if you try this any like You don't need to do plow pose right now. It's just you're okay. My mom and I are very um meant to be When it comes like we're very different but the second it comes to something like doing plow pose in front of others for the first time We'll both look at each other and go we can let's just go to lunch. Let's pack up I'm like i'm like mom. Look what I can do because I just know it'll piss her right off And she's just like I can do it too and i'm like, uh-huh and then i'm like, please stop You're going to hurt your and she's she's very she's very sportive sporty. She's more active and far more active than I am so i'm not like You know dissing her for that but like I'm like man if we're gonna be doing chi gong and you're gonna get competitive with me Like I don't know. We're gonna have a really weird Spiritual experience like I think this is about surrender and energy flow But I guess if you're over there like trying to throw your legs over your head because I just did it and you have to prove it It's fascinating to me to hear what other people will do for the sake of competition because like I with my If I don't know with confidence that all of us are bad and therefore what's the point? Oh 100% But like you could not pay me to behave that like and I think I'm like learning so much about astrology I'm like damn. She is such a fucking leo. It's Gulliver to death, but damn like I love a leo tone it down. I love a leo, but also I think like I I just don't I that sounds like a hell a day of hell to me I'm so glad you had fun, but I'm so happy it wasn't delightful and then they had these little Like so you tap it's sort of like that. We did tapping. It's very relaxing most of it Like that was just me being like really annoying, you know and like Triggering her and like, you know just doing triggered me. I would look to your mom to him and like lunch. Let's go Let's leave. Yeah But it was great. We and then you do tap thing we did a little bit like So it's like energy flow and stuff and they have these little like Tappers and there these kind of handled things and they're like gentle But you tap to like release your energy and it feels really nice like almost like a massage And my mom starts just like swacking me on the butt with it and I'm like this like every I'm like, we are gonna get kicked out of the Y. M. C. A. of downtown Cincinnati. Um And she gave going I brought you here when you were a baby. Do you remember and I'm like, I don't know. I don't remember Anyway, I had a that was 10 a.m. I don't know what got into me today, but I don't know I'm like up here the chi gong really got my energy going I'm wearing a shirt my mother got me that says murder on it and it's a bunch of crows Love it. It looks I was gonna comment on it when we were Yeah, thanks earlier, but you we were talking about Quintin's and I was like, I don't want to take from those clothes, you know Right this one the rest is yeah, this one is a special In honor of my beautiful mother who can do plow pose really well good for her Yeah, good for her. I was hoping to start taking some classes Um By the way, don't tell her I said any of this. She's gonna get mad at me. Okay, not you. I mean you also but everyone listening I was thinking about taking like um Like a balance kind of class or oh But I I get to find one where because then everyone goes. Oh, well, it's got yoga or Pilates. I'm like, no No, no, no, no, no Yeah, yeah, even today I was like I thought this was energy flow and like then the second plow pose started happening I was like we're all going off the rails here. Yeah, this is supposed to be a very unique experience of no stress or sweat You know what really sets me off about yoga and Pilates is that Everyone says like, oh no, this one's for beginners. I'm like, I have yet to even see a beginning experience as a as a as a Yoga lover I totally agree with you. Okay. Thank you. I used to be petrified And I would go to these classes because I wanted to learn and they'd be like it is the beginner class And then I was like now get sun salutation. I'm like, what the fuck is this? It's the equivalent to me of someone's like Saying, oh, it's beginner math and it's fucking calculus and I'm like, what do you mean? Like I think it's sort I feel like it's sort of saying like, oh if you've never done math before don't worry This is a beginner class and they're like, all right. So everyone let's say what's two plus two and it's like Well, I don't fucking know what math is like It's like it's beginner but like you don't even have an understanding of it And I I feel that way too and that's why I think it's getting so much more popular to do like and not getting Okay, I'm like 10 years behind but like internet like yoga with adria and all the things that like, you know You can access now and that now I can go to a yoga studio and be like, oh, I can hold my own But at the beginning I was like And some people don't mind like my mom's like whatever. I'll just learn as I go And I'm like, no, I'm gonna hide in the back and like do it on the internet instead I know because like I just want like I noticed I'm officially at like the age where like if I'm standing on one leg For too long, I begin to wobble and I was like, oh, I don't love that. Oh, I see. Yeah, the balance goes I would like to start like Doing stretches or exercises that like help with that or like some strength training that Well, I was looking into like Tai Chi, which is how I found Chi Gong And they're both Chinese, but I think uh Tai Chi is much more just like Move like slow movement like I don't think there's any And it's a martial art technically Blaise and I got into like this discussion on martial arts And I was like, how did I end up doing this to myself? Um, but I was like, I'm gonna be doing martial arts just like you because he does jujitsu and He's like, yeah, I can't wait for you to beat me up and I was like, I fucking might Okay But anyway, Tai Chi would be maybe something you could look into because that's very that's why people always say like Old people do it, but it's like really good for you because it's a lot of balance and a lot of like I love doing things that old people do like I and they always they say it that way as if that's gonna keep me from doing it but As if it's a bad thing, right? Has anyone heard of bingo? That's the best this most fun. I've ever had in my entire life Anyone anyone um, no, I thank you for suggesting that because I uh I need to do something but I the last thing I will do if I set up for a yoga class I'm going to one and never doing it again. Like it's just it's yeah Not yeah my idea of fun. It took me many years to get comfortable with going to yoga classes like out of the blue but um, yeah Tai Chi might be I mean, I'm gonna look into it myself too I've been wanting to find a class on it But um, I like I want to take a class that was essentially the first five minutes of pe class every day where it was like Oh, let's sit on the ground and try to touch our toes. That's kind of just what I want Like I just oh, yeah, just like so maybe instead of senior you go to preschool I just go like billy madison Is there a spot for me billy madison? You just go to like the ymca kids club. They do have a kids club and you just we can't wait you have Oh, yeah, that's gonna say you do have a membership card. Then I was like never mind. You're going to jail if you try this Maybe I'll just like I'll just pretend I brought a kid and I was like I'll watch from the window. No, that's great. Leona That's creepy too. Yeah, just kidding. But you can baby sit Leona and then just be like let's learn together and I know I feel like I would actually benefit from testing my own skills on wobbly mountain because the whole point is I'm a little wobbly Maybe she needs to teach a class That's what I'm saying. Okay. Okay. See we're going we're getting things going. Happy April 1st is April Fool's Day Can't you tell where the biggest fools of all? um I definitely forgot that we were doing a listeners episode for a second. I guess I did too and I bullied my mom a little bit and I'm like Oops, um April Fool's. I was just kidding. She did really It was all a joke. The mom. It's April Fool's. It's opposite. If we should if we did do a true April Fool's episode We should have just not Done stories and just kept talking about Tai Chi for 45 minutes and then hung up and Is it too late to just keep talking about martial arts and what makes a martial art? Anyway, well happy April 1st everybody. Um, this is my annual reminder that my mom's birthday is tomorrow and I need to call her Oh, she's 4 2. Yes. She's an Aries through and through I have yet to do her big three, but I have a feeling she's triple Aries Um, I was gonna say I don't think you need to because uh as discussed we got yeah Why am I talking about leo's we got Aries season here? We're in april Come on christine get it together. Um Aries also a frightening but enjoyable sign to me Um, you we really gas each other up those gemini's and those Aries it's a it's quite a combination renae my stepmother They're all Aries. Yeah, it's uh, they're I have no characters. I have one friend Who's an Aries tourist cusp and boy do they terrify me but um, uh, oh, yeah, that's a little scary I don't really head into that tourist series. It's just intense and stubborn and both are like kind of not afraid to be mean and I'm like Oh my god And I'm just like totally air-headed and two-faced and I'm like, I'm sorry. We're not gonna get along I think you're not gonna like we're on that Well, I uh, yes happy april first. We have some stories for you. Um, and this month the topic was picked by uh, Which listener which listener I'm trying to click it. Oh our patron named taylor. She her Thank you taylor for picking our topic this month, which would you like to announce it christina feels very up your alley? I can't find it. It is. I mean, I don't I'll do it. Yeah, you ready? Just you just react really big Okay, the topic this month chosen by taylor. She her. Yeah. Yep aliens and new phone encounters No Okay, I'm amped hell. Yeah, so we have uh, Several picked by taylor, but uh vetted by eva. Thank you so much To both of you for this month's episode Yes, okay. I guess should I go first? I don't know. Yes. Are you drinking anything christine? Oh, you know, I left I was drinking my water. Uh, I don't know if you heard I did cheek on yoga today And I was drinking water and now I left it downstairs. So it my my cup is empty. How about you my cup? Well, I'm actually drinking oven and out of let me figure out how to use words. Jesus christ I'm drinking out of and that's why we drink mug That that is a heart that's a tongue twister So I'm drinking out of and then that's why we and and that's why we drink mug Yeah, that's hard and you can't tell because it is my personal favorite where it's the the heat changes it You can see kind of by the light, but so it's an emf detector and when When the mug is hot a ghost appears and the meter starts having all these lights. This wasn't m original, wasn't it? I did design this. Yeah m designed this and this is like the it's really kick ass and on the back It's black, but then when it's hot as you can see and that's where your drink also appears Do you know that I think I have that in my cabinet, but it's faced the wrong way and I just think it's a black mug I'm just realizing like I'm pretty sure it's at the top of my cabinet and I so I'm like, what is that mug up there? Well, that's a cool mug. I love this mug. I think it's such a good idea Shockingly it nobody else seemed to be impressed by it like not not I'm saying like it's never really like sold out the way in my mind it would have but um, but if you want You're just like ahead of your time and unrecognized genius. I think it's just so funny Um, but so it was the ghost was here for a while, but um the tea. Do you know what? I think we need to do with that that was make it bigger I don't ever go for the little mugs like they're too little now you're on to something because I feel too the one thing Otherwise, I would have figured out what that mug at the top of the shelf was I would have been curious, but it's so small that I was like, well I kind of want my big mugs the one thing I hate about this is that I love a tiny big cozy Pop a bare mug, you know what I'm saying? Okay, so maybe we do a new one where we Incorporate your same design, but we just like do a bigger mug and then maybe we'll finally you know what we should do Christine What should we do? We should have three mugs of three different sizes, but see this is why I'm not allowed to suggest merchant anymore because I go to this is why katie has cut us out of all of the planning sessions because this is how we behave That's not true. I was gonna say katie did not do that, but we deserve to be cut out of the meetings What if we had three different coffee mugs With three different sizes they each have a different a piece of equipment and they can buy the ghost hunters collection And they all do different things What so oh, so you'd have an espresso. What would the espresso cup be? Oh, that'd be itty-bitty I don't know what maybe like a little like sound like like a wavelength like a voice came through cute And then the big one could be like a rem pod or like the ovulus and a word comes up Oh, it could be an ovulus and it says and that's why we drink Oh an ovul okay an ovulis is good and then also like what about so we have emf. That's excellent We could do like weija like like something shows up. Um, but that's kind of our logo I like I like it anyway Yeah, anyway, hey, this is an april fools episode. We really are just kind of making it that which I love for us If anybody has merch Request by the way, please comment below because we'd love to know we would love to have a merch that you want Yeah, I mean we want merch we want first and foremost, but secondary to that we want to do what you want to do also Amen, so please send us your suggestions and if you like the ghost hunters collection the idea Please because I love this fucking bug so much. I find it to be an excellent idea. Thank you Um, and then and fun fact when I'm done with this, I have a backup tea. So we're wait, what are you drinking in there? By the way, oh, alison made me tea this morning very kind Oh, lovely. It's obviously cold now because the ghost is left. Yeah, and then I the ghost is left And then I pulled a future M gift for myself when I was at the gas station I thought tomorrow when I look in the fridge, I'm gonna be really excited when this is there So I do you know how badly I want that right now that would be like that would hit the spot Just to make things worse for you. This is a ginseng, arizona. I'll do. Yeah. Thanks. It's a crack ready It's one of those green ones with the little jasmine flowers or whatever the arizona teas. Yeah Yeah, all right.

I would love to This story was sent in by alisha. She her and it is called my ufo slash et experience I was roughly a mere 12 years old and my family had weekly sunday night bible studies. I grew up catholic We were reading revelations in our dining room. By the way, that's an intense thing to be reading in your dining room That's like it's not even very catholic. That's very like um I don't know evangelical. Oh revelations is where the world like ends. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's the chapter of the old testament where it's like Fiery brimstone, you know, it's anyway We were reading revelations in our dining room which faced the glass door that led to our back patio I kept hearing light tapping on the door I looked over and saw what looked like a slender normal proportioned creature in the nude It definitely was not human as from what I remember it walked strangely and its skin was opaque The weird part starts here. I wonder wrong the weird part started earlier. Yeah, the weird part starts here I didn't even catch that I wonder if by its skin was opaque that she means like its skin was see like transparent. Yeah, that's what it sounds like to me yuck The weird part starts here. Okay, everybody fuck the curve As we can all agree. This is just a normal evening of reading revelations at the dinner table with your catholic family and seeing a See through slender man out the door. Okay The weird part starts here. My parents took bible study seriously and would not let us kids get distracted or let us leave the table unless for a potty break As I walked toward the back door the creature runs away I opened the door and run through my backyard looking for it But found nothing when I came back at least 30 minutes later. Oh my god. My family hadn't even noticed. I was gone Oh Oh, I will never know what I saw also my brother accidentally summoned a demon, but that's a story for another time And that's the end. I classic So it seems like I would imagine the alien UFO experience here is that The parents like the family lost time and like didn't even notice but like it wanted it wanted Right in my that feels I mean that's what I think if like your family was just like In this like trance almost or like missing time. Oh, yeah Yuck oh and to be reading revelations. I mean really that is like a very Bizarre experience. I imagine it's certainly set the scene Yeah, yeah, I mean it would match Tonally for sure. Well, we have another story. This is from mackena uh, and I think also uh Christian at the bottom it says christian and mackena. So This is from but two of them. It is called aliens crashed our wedding Oh Oh my okay. Oh my oh my drama. This is why I don't believe marriage everybody because those aliens Oh my gosh, add it to the list. Oh no So it kind of says hello beautiful humans and fur babies. My name is mackena I've been listening to your show for a while now and I introduced my new husband to your show a while ago and we've both been obsessed so This last weekend we got married and by this last weekend It was 2019 it was pre-covid Oh my god, okay. Wow. This is wow. Okay. This is an old one in 2019 by the way 2019 means that we like we were only two years into this What if they're divorced? Oh christian. I mean, I doubt it. What did you do? I don't know. I'm sorry. I I hope you're still together and happy and if you're not together I hope you're happy either way. Well, this is extra fun because I was just in Idaho last week and uh It says we are currently living in Idaho Oh, mg. I don't know where you are now, but you were in Idaho then While christian finishes up school our wedding was in nashville and we decided that we would road trip from Idaho to nashville Which was so much fucking driving Uh, we had been driving non-stop. It was night and I'm hella blind So christian was driving and I was asleep in the passenger seat All of a sudden he starts hitting my leg going babe babe. Look look look And I grumpily sit up and he is pointing out the window and right in front of us are these weird lights in the sky Since christian saw it best here is how he describes it. Um We saw four lights directly in front of us. They are in a square shape And maybe it was a rhombus, which is so funny because apparently this is christian's description and does not know about our issue with rhombuses Um, oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Wow. Oh, well, he's just that's a tricky tricky spot tricky spot I'm having a hard time understanding the rhombus shape. I'm not sure about this anymore shapes are hard, uh, but At at first I thought it was a plane taking off because it was slightly angled But the longer I looked at the more I realized it wasn't moving. So it was like a square tilted. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you mean a rhombus Three of the lights were solid white and one that looked like it was the tail Uh had the same solid white light, but it was also it also had blue and red blinking lights next to it Hmm Since it wasn't moving it was hard to judge how far away it was but as we got closer I realized it was only about 50 feet off the ground When we even when we got even closer the only thing we could see were the lights and something really dark connected to them But we couldn't make out a shape. Oh like a like a bridge or something to each Once we were almost underneath it the lights all shifted and I started to slow down I may have started drifting into the lane to my left because this is still this is still fucking question talking. Oh my god Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I may have started drifting into the lane to my left because I was obviously distracted and a semi truck Honked and drove past us this immediately brought my attention back to the road so I could straighten out and when I looked back In the rear view mirror the lights were gone Oh my god, I thought you were gonna get abducted. I was so scared. I feel like Maybe that semi truck saved you totally getting abducted It felt like that was the next step It was gearing up Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Whoa, that's creepy. So then McKenna says here is why this is interesting I don't need you to tell me that what is wrong with you people We are very impressed already at the beginning of your stories. I promise as this was happening I was like, okay, where are we? We passed a sign that said fort c And I didn't catch what the other word was by newest start with a c We thought okay, it had to have been an army base because it was called fort whatever So we thought maybe they were drones, but why are why would the army have the drones flying so low? Plus they weren't even over the army base just next to it Then we were like maybe someone is using the drones to spy on the army base So then I thought oh shit. We just found like a spy or maybe people testing out their ways to get into area 51 Um anyways, we forgot about this whole thing and didn't think anything of it until yesterday slash today For our honeymoon. We are driving down route 66 and on our way We passed the place where we saw this ufo But we found we found out that it was fort camble that we passed So I googled fort camble aliens and this place got involved with the hopkinsville alien encounter from episode 105 Oh my god, and you didn't even like know at the time What if these were the same aliens from 1955 during the hopkinsville alien encounter? Those aliens could possibly be dead. I'm not remembering the story correctly Plus, I really don't know what the common alien lifespan is But it could be aliens drones sleep deprivation. I'm more inclined to lean aliens. It was some spooky ass shit Uh, love the podcast and we are especially loving the increase of alien stories. Good to know. Good to know Hell yeah, uh, well that was in 2019. I don't know I don't know if you're still around listening to the show We've known a lot of zack vegans recently, so I'll have to get back on the aliens. That's true How do you feel about that direction? Let us know in six years. We'll find out Oh my lord, that was a doozy Um, I don't so I do kind of dream of that like sometimes blaze and I are driving at night on a road trip and I'm like I hope we see a ufo like you're like that would be so fucking cool I do I want to see one so bad and I want it blaze to see one too I mean, I did see one in Egypt, but it felt like of course I did like that was a very But I want I want blaze to see your phone because I want to be like see yeah I understand that for sure. I the day that Allison sees a ghost Honestly, it might be the scariest day of my life because I'm like, oh that means it's real for sure Right. It was like a tether to reach to like some sort of safety net where yeah, I totally agree It's like you're the one who's supposed to be level headed here. Yeah 100% Um, okay, so thank you for that. I have another story this one's uh, let's see this one's from And Okay, this is cracking me up. Oh my god. Tell me This is from 2017 I think do you know how I know? Hell because I either Eva or wait.

Well, that was in response to my last email I said sure send it on in and uh, this person says awesome Please don't use my name or anything if you guys use this on the podcast Because my wife's whole family gets super freaked out when it gets brought up And I don't want them to know that I sent this to you. Oh my god. Okay Before my wife and I were married. She told me that her mom has this weird bump on her leg. Oh, fuck me. I'm already freaked out My wife's dad was burned really badly when she was a kid and had to get a lot of MRIs She has had this little bump of scar tissue on her thigh that hurts if she touches it because it's all wrapped in the nerves in her leg This is probably why I didn't read it. I probably was like The weird thing is there is no incision anywhere. It's just like this bump of scar tissue almost like a skin graft It also turns out her brother and dad have the same thing on their legs So she was sitting with my father-in-law during an MRI And her leg Was pulled toward the magnets and she fell out of her chair What so it's magnetic. There's a fucking magnet in there A very strong one at that if it's pulling you out of a fucking chair by the leg not to be like so disgusting But I feel like if I had enough alcohol in me I would have just taken an exacter knife and just slice that bitch off And just been like what the fuck is going on? But also then like why have they not noticed in the past that like keys are not keys. What's magnetic? I don't know a magnet Is it 2018 again, I feel like it's 2018 again. Yeah, we're channeling our own selves. Yeah. Oh my god Um, but yeah, like wouldn't you have noticed that like stuff gets Attached to it. Maybe things were not maybe there weren't as many magnets back then How many magnets were there? Is there like an inflation calculator? Counting them Well, anyway, so this is crazy. All right, I'm sorry. I'm not trying to discount their story by the way I'm just I'm just like thinking all out here Okay, so She was sitting with her father-in-law during an MRI and her leg was pulled toward the magnets and she fell out of her chair So this thing is super magnetic. Anyway, so she then told me when she used to be a nurse She got home from work and took a bath She remembers getting in the bath and in the skylight above the bath She saw two lights circling in weird patterns All of their dogs ran to the windows in the living room and were going nuts She got out of the bath to go check it out She remembers seeing the lights again outside the windows of the living room The next thing she remembered after that was waking up in the bath and the water was freezing. Oh Ew, so she went to look probably like in a towel, right and then like Woke up in a cold bath. That's the next thing you remember horrifying I would never take a bath again. I don't think I could do it. I think I would be like bass or out. Yeah, 100% I don't like that you go look out the window and that's enough for it to fucking take you The next thing she remembered after that was waking up in the bath and the water was freezing Oh, I can be a pretty big skeptic. So when I first heard this I thought she fell asleep or something But my wife and her dad both had similar experiences together, but that's a different story I'm thinking to myself whatever. This is probably bullshit and that the thing in her leg was some shrapnel from a mowing accident or something It's like a really specific Uh, but like interesting angle. Okay, we're glossing over the fact that there was clearly a lawn mower incident quite Well, I think they're envisioning a lawn mower incident. I don't think that they're saying they're was a lawn mower incident I think they're saying like I'm sure there was just some lawn mower incident that caused this, you know Like as as happens to the best of us, you know as happens to three members of a family, you know And then they forget right So anyway, I listened to a bunch of different podcasts and I think it was on mysterious universe or something where they said that alien Implants give off give off an electrical signal. I thought it would be fun to test Jesus. Oh my god. I love it Imagine your mother-in-law. No wonder you don't want me saying your name Oh my god, what are you gonna do to your poor mother-in-law? Her dad works on motorcycles and had this electric. So their father-in-law um Works on motorcycles and had this electrical signal tester thing for engine batteries We went around testing cell phones TVs computers and lights most registered at about 0.3 to 0.6 watts Put it on her leg nothing move it closer to the bump nothing put it right over the bump Fucking 30 watts cut it out literally cut like cut it no cut it cut it with with a sharp sharp sharp Like that's the day it it's it whoopsies. I'll it'll hurt but I'm cutting it out of my fucking leg Open the big craft bucket we all have with an X-Acto knife. That's just floating around loosey-goosey Carefully pull it out and then fucking slice that bitch out. I would I'd be and also do it I would do it. I would do it. I would at least go to a doctor and like sign something be like I need you to No, actually I wouldn't because what if it has to be something I do on my own first of all It's totally you would have to do it alone. It's an intimate experience and also You have to get lidocaine. Well, what if a doctor what if the doctor started cutting and then you find out that like It's like this metal is like woven into your skeletal system And now the government's involved like you don't want that and then you got to deal with the fucking government Yeah, I've seen it. They're not friendly. Yeah, and I bet you these trackers. They know when they're being like tampered with I don't know. Yeah, that's a great question too. It's like I feel like the aliens are like well, surely if we put it under under their skin then that they're not gonna It's like an anti-theft tag, you know, like maybe it has an ink thing in it It's gonna explode ink everywhere and then you got a mess on your hands That's probably why I would have met we're obviously Besides the blood by the way that you're just cutting out your leg besides all the blood you've also got a mess of ink on your hand Well, you just throw a throw a cloth down. We've all seen a true crime movie But listen, we've all been here's my thought though is like of course If aliens did this of course they made it a bundle of nerves around it. So you certainly would never cut it out Oh, oh, oh, oh, that's gross. I feel like that was their anti-theft situation there where they're like well We'll make it incredibly painful to even deep in barely touch. So they'll never cut it out Just like put it way in there. That's you just got to be so out of control drunk You just got to be so I won't remember them. Don't listen to this Don't listen for any medical advice people or any advice actually frankly any advice Sorry, my dad does a lot of things just just very drunk just to help himself medically And I he lives also in the woods. He lives in the woods once he got pecked by a Chicken or a rooster in the eyeball and then he just oh my he was like the only way through it was just be really drunk until it healed That um, oh my god. So my my only frame of reference is like just do something to forget so Yeah, cut your leg. That's obviously my medical advice here. Don't cut your mother. Don't cut your lits Don't cut anything. Hey, actually is the advice ever. Don't do that. Here's the beautiful thing about this episode I can say whatever I want because it's April Fool's You don't know it's opposite. Oh, it's all a joke. That's right. We're doctors Just getting his April Fool's Um, seriously do not cut open your body. That is not what we're advising But I think if I think you're right. I would probably spiral myself into a place where I would like Have to see what it is like have to I I think so I think so and like at the very least That's get an x right advise that behavior, but that's what I would do. I think I In all reality, I do not condone anything. I just said however if you were to do it I absolutely condone you emailing us and telling us your findings. Oh my god Okay, uh, no, no, I don't all right. Nope. I know not at all. Okay. So would they move it over the thing 30, okay? So we're going 0.3 0.6 watts all the way to 30 At this one little point insane this thing in her leg gives off a signal 100 times stronger than a cell phone CB radios transmit at like I mean, I'm just taking this person's word for it. I'm not going to google this I'm just gonna Believe it cb radios transmit at like three to four watts. So this thing is about the size of a p Magnetic and putting out an electrical signal. She won't let any doctor remove it despite a lot of doctors asking to biopsy it Probably I mean you have a growth or like a Abnormality like they probably want to make sure it's not cancerous or something Um, let's see. She will not let a doctor biopsy it apparently with other cases of alien implants The people affected die very soon after it gets removed. I didn't even think about that. Don't cut it out. Don't cut it out Don't cut it out. I totally am everything I said fools April fools. It's all backwards. It's opposite day. Um, Jesus christ, I didn't even think about that because I would think oh, surely my I'm sure this person has thought of every horrible situation with this sure, of course I should have thought of that too But my first thought is like oh if this thing is that strong of a signal like am I slowly killing myself by having this in me And like walking around with this like huge s battery on my body all the time But then if you get removed then people apparently don't survive that either. So it's like well fuck you're just Damned if you do damn if you don't you're kind of just screw Or yeah, I guess you just don't want to think about it. Yeah. Oh, no wonder another reason the name should not be much It's all making sense now. Yeah, it's all making sense. Oops I'm writing this while I'm at work. So I'm writing super quick, but I think I covered most all of it There is probably some other explanation, but my wife's whole family has had weird UFO experiences They live out in the country and I've seen lights out there too that I can't really explain There is a scar tissue bump on her leg that she got after that weird bath story and there is no incision It's insanely magnetic and gives out a huge so it was after that bath That it happened I didn't realize that and gives out a huge electrical signal. I don't know what it is, but it's freaky as shit Maybe it's like a gps tracker like we put on animals to track their movement. Thanks for reading I have some other stuff. I'll probably submit for later listener submissions, but this is one of my favorite I don't think they need trackers. I feel like they know where like gps. I don't think they need gps Maybe it's some sort of like I mean, I guess it's like maybe their version of a tracker, but it would make it would make sense Why it's so strong if they have to connect it between planets, you know, so like Through outer space. Yeah. Oh, that's so eerie. Well, apparently we could have scared ourselves shitless eight years ago But we'll do it now instead, right? We'll always find a time We'll always find a way Oh, I was looking for the perfect thing I I thought I thought are you are you also looking for the perfect thing for your home?

Okay, that's how Long of a listener. I think they are that I recognize the email was from when we were reading the emails My gosh, or maybe like maybe there's it's also their like instagram handle and I see it sometimes But so you've probably just seen them around for a long time then yeah, we go way back me and virginia. We go way back virginia Yeah, yeah, okay. Well you do actually you did live this the subject is Was I almost abducted by aliens in west virginia? Absolutely, absolutely West virginia. I feel like it's the most alien place a great like the most likely place to get abducted You know it's driving through there like it's so dark. It's so like eerie I have yet to go. I lived on the I shared a border with west virginia my whole life never been to west virginia Oh, it is a cool and creepy and spooky appalachian dream slash I have plans around like christmas with one of my friends to go do a west virginia trip and um I am oh so is that on your state then like your state? Oh Which I thought everything was just the flyovers, but then I was doing I guess I've technically been in west virginia for a day I like we stopped in there, but like I want to have like a true memory in west virginia like experience it Um, so technically it's not on the list of priority states, but oh it is so beautiful But I have like a so like I've been in nashville Like I've driven through or like we had like a show in nashville Yeah, like I want to have like a day doing stuff in tenacy. So technically tenacy is still on the list It's like a whole I've really made things show it's so annoying for myself nuanced. Okay, but west virginia I have yet to be yet to go there and I know that it looks creepy. I know it does Oh it is because it's so beautiful and then the second the sun goes down you're like Oh my god, there's monsters in these woods. Yeah, I can't wait so Virginia says I'm a longtime listener and an avid fan since 2018. Okay. Well, hey, oh my god, you knew it. Your efforts have been recognized virginia Listening to your podcast grow and your career takeoff has been so inspiring over the years And I've truly appreciated the community you've grown. Thank you for being your authentic selves and showing people that we can find Our tribe and that I likely need to get diagnosed for ADHD Yeah, probably Virginia says the setting is road trip from indalis Texas to alexandria, virginia In the last week of august 2025 Okay, oh wow recent My parents decided to move from the dallas area to the east coast to be closer to me My kids and my sisters and decided to give me their old car to sell Because of this I had to fly back to dallas to drive the car home to alexandria Isn't that the way the parents gift shit these days? I love that It's like here's a really like kind of okay present and also the only way you can get it is spend your money to fly all The way here and inconvenient yourself for it. Well, it's like I'm coming. Yeah, isn't that a gift enough? Now you need to do some work up for it You could have just sold that car that none of us want and then use that money to fly ourselves out to visit me But whatever I don't know. Maybe they're offering free childcare. Who knows? Maybe I don't know I've done different versions of the drive since college, but I decided to take a route I've never taken before to explore kentucky and the eastern part of west virginia, which is technically east west virginia. I love that Oh, I love that chris and I love that that her name's virginia. It's just making it all so perfect It's kismet. I think it is it is Christy now I know why you live in kentucky because it's a beautiful state and I had a great time Oh, thank you. Oh, I'm so happy you enjoyed it I re listened to the episode on mammoth caves and took one of their tours and had some excellent bourbon at dark arts whiskey house in lexington Oh my god and drove through the breathtaking red river gorge area. Oh, it's beautiful. It really is while I wanted to stay longer I was on my last day drive and needed to pass through west virginia quickly to get home that night for work the next day The drive through west virginia was beautiful and uneventful for the first part of the trip as I was taking Uh, the highway through the center of the state and I was making good time drinking a milkshake and catching up on the podcast And at one point on the interstate close to sunset I needed to use the restroom and figured I would stop I would top off my gas tank before dark If my favorite gas stations aren't around which are walla and sheets then I usually just take the eggs and go to the nearest one As I'm you basic bit you high maintenance basic bit just like me just like me If there's a walla or a bucky is I'm going I'm getting to sheets stat stat This time for some reason instead of just going to one of the several gas stations off on the right I decided to take a left under the overpass Uh, to and take a right to get into the gas station As I was leaving the gas station I was still setting up my audio and just following the map instructions on my phone without really paying attention It instructed me to take a right out of the parking lot and go up this two lane road As I started to drive forward two adorable Spotted white tail deer crossed the road in front of me And a little further ahead a cute squirrel is hanging out on the road I don't like this a lot of animals gathering to look at you and it feels like cute animals Cute animals. It feels like they're trying to warn you Yeah, it feels like well. I also feel like that weird like children like Hey, we're sick. We're cute and safe like come this way and it's like Uh-uh, or yeah, they're all they're all Watching to see your next move Yeah, I don't love it. I'm paying attention to these animals and not as much to where I'm going And a car comes up behind me. So I start to drive faster I realized suddenly that I'm driving a steep hill And I have this moment of panic because the highway was right next to the gas station I I should not have been driving up this steep hill away from the highway as my map is directing me My not at west virginia. I shouldn't I'm telling you out there. It is dark and it is spooky out there My intuition was telling me that something was wrong and I should definitely not be heading up this way It was more than a oh man. I made a wrong turn reaction Uh and more of a turnaround now. This is dangerous. No, that's like your nervous system like sense is danger I don't that's scary intuitive feeling I had to drive a little farther up and find a small gravel shoulder But I swung the car around and looked closer at my maps and google maps was instructing me to take this big loop Up uh up the mountain and back down the highway miles back in the direction I'd already traveled which would add like 45 minutes to my drive I didn't have time to waste as I was going it was going to get dark soon and I was still hours from home I sped back down the road and towards the highway all the while the maps kept trying to get me the turnaround No, no when I got back down in front of the pilot the map was trying to reroute me to take The pilot is the gas station. I'm assuming. Yes. Yes. Okay. Okay to take the west ramp and make a u-turn This time instead of listening to my maps. I took the east ramp to continue on my way So Virginia just had so no google maps. Yeah, I'm doing what I want I refreshed my maps once back on the highway and now it said that I would get home 20 minutes earlier Then it would have taken on the detour it was trying to get me on Now I'm not great at math But if you start at a point and take 47 minutes to make a big circle, then why are you only saving 20 minutes if you bypass that circle? Uh, wouldn't you be saving a whole 47 minutes? It's like why is it why is there an additional 27 minutes if there's yeah? Okay I dismissed it as odd and continued my trip only seeing a smattering of cars and trucks as I drove the rest of the way home through the pitch black mountains Now the weirdest part of this is what I learned after returning home I was telling my sister this story and how odd I found it and she was the one who joked that I was about to be abducted by aliens She asked me where this took place and suggested I look up the city and nearest campground to see if there were any UFO sightings near there I couldn't remember the city. However, since I remembered that I stopped at the pilot off 79 There is only one that fits the description in that right area and it is in Sutton, west virginia right next to flatwoods The home of the flatwoods monster No way I freaked out a little bit when I found out and I'm sure this could be chalked up to a maps glitch or a series of Coincidences, but it felt eerie and wrong at the time in a way that I really can't describe Having done tons of long road trips by myself and backpacking in the west virginia woods It takes a lot to unsettle me and make me feel unsafe, but this felt unsafe for no apparent reason Always trust your gut Um, oh and then once again, thank you both for all you do if you ever do hometown ghosts I'll have to share my fridgesburg and williamsburg ghost encounters No way or my encounters at american university and umd Wait, what who is this person? That's weird. Who are you virginia? Virginia what's happening? man super creepy I don't Yeah, for someone especially at the end saying like I camp in the woods and stuff like I don't so like i'm scared of everything kind of like I don't know But like if you're familiar with the woods and sleeping out there in the wilderness and you're Unsettled by something in nature. I feel like there's something to be unsettled about 100% Okay, so here is an email from megan She her Miss oh my god, so megan get ready megan she slash her slash may gem and I Megan girl come on megan. We see you okay This email is called my mother is an alien hey mine is too crazy stuff crazy Hey y'all I'm just going to jump into it growing up my mother always told us stories of seeing UFOs Montana in the 1970s was a hot spot especially with the air force bases in the area as a child I was amazed that my mother had seen something so cool She always told us that she believed that earth was a terrarium and for all we knew god was an alien Oh my god, imagine being raised by that like your mind would be so open you'd be like so open mind You'd be like oh god's an alien, you know, you know the first time she went to school and said that to one of her classmates They were like you we don't all think that principle principles office. Yeah You're upsetting the children. You're upsetting the other children sounds cool to me though. I'd be like now that kid's cool I'd be like hell. Yeah Thoughts like this got her kicked out of catholic sunday school multiple times as a child Well, that'll do it In october 2017 she was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and they gave her 6 to 12 months to live The night she was diagnosed a bright star appeared in the sky over our hometown Oh my god My aunt joked that it was a mothership coming to take mom home We joked about this several times in the three months before she i'm like getting choked up Several times in the three months before she passed away January 2018 mom passed away as 66 years old My god We I know we opened the windows and played her favorite song free bird to let her spirit free That night I spent my night at my aunt's house drinking fireball and laying on the floor At one point my aunt went outside to have a cigarette and came and yelling And came and yelling they came to they came to get her and took her to the home planet The bright star in the sky had disappeared the same night mom left She was very in tune with this part of her soul as is my sister I unfortunately am not in tune with this and it makes me feel like I don't have that connection with my mom oh Anyway, I hope everyone is having a wonderful time and m. I am a fellow Icthio phobic fish fish fish Mm-hmm. It's a tough life. We have Yeah, seriously props to both of you. Uh, we seem to be few and far between but fish in every form are disgusting And that's the end of the end of the email man Well I like the first half. I'm sorry about your mom. Oh, she I am sorry as well and like she got She saw these UFOs as a kid was like gods and alien you know and then was passing away too young and They were like come on come back with us. Oh my god. That's just wild Yeah, no, I I hope that uh, you feel connected to your mom though I do too We have one last story for everybody this is from Taylor she her thank you for normalizing pronouns Taylor and the Subject a line of this one is just alien encounter nice and vague. So I have no idea what ride we're about to go on So Taylor take it away a bumpy one. I'm assuming it says My name is Taylor and the following is an account of an alien encounter I experienced to set the scene this happened years ago. My best guess is around 2018 But time isn't real and I have no concept of it Amen I can recall the memory of it like it happened yesterday My friends invited me to a house party hosted by someone I knew of but didn't personally know And the weirdness started when the host of this party who's a man a few few years older than me greeted us using Or greeted me using my first and last name and knew and knew where I worked What so this the man who's the host this party goes up and goes hey Taylor last name? I I know you work at this place. Don't do that. That's weird It was incredibly off-putting and I still to this day don't even know his last name. So I have no idea how I would I I not to defend a man I'm wondering if he was trying to like creep on instagram or something and that's how we figured it out and he should have Should have led with that or something and be like, oh, I wanted to see you know who who everyone was that was getting invited He should have framed it. He should have cut a water man. He should have framed it differently Uh, or maybe he's a fucking creep or he's just a creep. I don't know Anywho we all start drinking and perhaps engaging in the devil's lettuce and as the kids as the kids do I remember having a buzz but nothing too crazy at some point my best friend at the time And I wanted to get some air so we sat on the front porch I was probably it was probably around 9 p.m. At this point and we just sat out there for a while chatting It's hard to describe what happened after that But in the street that was next to the house we both suddenly saw what looked like a thousand tiny lights connected through via string That was moving in a way that I had never seen anything move before It was expanding and contracting going up to the tree line and back down to the street level in split seconds Uh, what? Expanding I was gonna say maybe it's star link and then I was like wait. No that does not yes like in the cul-de-sac Yeah, forget it I remember grabbing my friend. It's in the cul-de-sac It feels like a goosebump's book like tiny lights in the cul-de-sac Yes, it sure does I remember grabbing my friend and saying are you fucking seeing that and he confirmed he was seeing it just as mesmerized by By it as I was we were so scared but also completely frozen and couldn't look away But that's not the worst car the clump of lights got small enough to duck behind a car that was parked on the street Ew, so like condensed that intensely We watched as it went behind a car from the front end and I shit you not I couldn't make this up if I tried a child that was probably three or four walked out from behind the car at the back end The child walked at a fast pace in a completely straight line Wasn't wearing shoes was completely alone and I believe he had his hands in his pockets Once I saw that we hauled ass back into the house and I haven't spoken about it since I like how this could have been a missing child and you just went see uh Um, no no way the entire experience lasted one to two minutes and it's the strangest thing I've ever seen I mean really like to have that many lights scattered and then convince into life is like a like a makeshift human Um, yuck. I'm so freaked out by that like how many children of these toddlers are alien spaceships Yeah, yeah, yeah, what the fuck Seeing that the lights was one thing but a child appearing at a thin air was the single scariest moment in my life And I have spent a lot of time over the years since this happened contemplating it Who knows what the lights could have been but then it presented in a human form and that's the worst part to me I messaged the friend I messaged a friend that experienced this with me before sending this story because I wanted to confirm He remembered the same thing and his exact words were yes, damn aliens I can see the argument that we were both not sober and that could have altered our memories But uh, we both saw the same thing and I haven't heard of any strain of weed that provides dual person hallucinations Yeah, I wish that'd be really awesome. No, um, that's just fucking insane and like the idea of The child just like like imagine you're you see the bulb light and you're like, whoa, it's gonna come out the other side And then there's just like this child barefoot child. Mm-hmm What the I mean I'm that freaks me the hell out. I um I got nothing it sounded like it was playing It sounded like it was playing and then it like realized. Oh shit. Someone saw me. Yeah Nothing to see here. I feel like it thought oh everyone's inside. No one's gonna notice this and then I accidentally like walked in on this experience And got witnessed and I wonder like was the child Obviously like an alien, uh, but like was it that it started as a child and then was like playing around and chain like became Lights and then he went back to his human form or was it always lights and then shifted into a child when I realized it was being watched Right and then went oh, I have to look like a human Exactly because I overheard these other humans saying that they they see this Uh Well, then why didn't you transform into a bird? Right? Because I could just like hop You know what I mean? And like nobody would be like you just think where'd the light go or like a grown person like to see like It reminds me of like in roger rabbit like that little cartoon baby who smokes a cigar I'm like, why is there a three-year-old walking around with his hands in pockets in a straight line?
