[Mielestäni parasta] - Happy birthday tos! - Okay, best! - I don't know if we were going to do the whole song. - I didn't know if we were doing it, but last time we tried to do an ad-lib, one word alternating song, you know what happened, it wasn't really bad. - Disaster, disaster. - Disaster, all the way around. Happy birthday, my friend. - Thank you. - We'll see how it goes. I saw like two more days when this comes out. We'll see how. - You've got two days left of your youth. - You have three! - That's right. How does it feel that for one singular solitary day will be the same age? - I love it every time. - It makes me laugh. - Because it's a day you can't call me the crypt keeper for one day of the year. - For one, just one day. - That's your birthday gift, by the way. Happy birthday every year, that's your birthday gift. - I think it's your birthday gift that I don't call you a crypt keeper. - I've had to take the glass half full look from day one about all this. - What if I said crypt keeper complimentary? - You're right, it's your birthday punishment, that's right, it's your birthday punishment. - I'm understanding that. - It's a very, at this point it's just tradition. I don't even know if I enjoy it, it's what you do in this house. - It's just how it works. - How does it feel to be coming up on 35? - 35, can you believe that? - Isn't that crazy? - We started the podcast at 25. - Wait, so are we going to be the same, so you are your younger than me? - Yeah, I'll be. - Why do I act like I don't know this every fucking year? - I'll be 34 for a day while you're still 34. - Okay, well, both be 34, that I turn to 35. Okay, wow, I don't know how time or math works. - No. - So I do want a quantum level, so if that helps. - You know someone has to. - Someone has to, and it's sort of like everyone else seems to have this timeline figured out. - You don't, the rudimentary is not your privy. - Thank you so much. I'm above that pay grade, if that makes sense. - I know what it is above that work, you know. - You couldn't have been more clear. - Thank you so much. - Yeah, it's Gemini season, can you tell? We are elevated, by the way, M today, or actually tomorrow, as we record this, there's going to be a Kazimi, which is a special time in astrology, where the planets kind of align and kiss, smooch, wow, it's sun and Gemini, Uranus and Gemini, it's a beautiful thing, it's going to fucking fire us up. So look out, everybody, yeah, we're going to be in high-flying spirits. It's the words, the banter, the communication, this is not an astrology podcast, but sometimes it's my birthday, and I get to make it. - Yeah, shut up, everyone shut up, it's our birthday, you can do it everyone. - I can, you say shut up. - And anyway, so it's an exciting time, M. It's going to light up a lot of our creativity and social butterfly centers, you know. - I love a butterfly center, except the real ones. I don't want to be anywhere near a real butterfly. - Oh my God, I've got five chrysalis downstairs. - Why? Because you haven't trialled. - Yep, okay. - You'll figure it out. - So there's only one reason. - Although I did make it my entire personality for like two days, I was like filming them, not my entire personality, but my entire fixation. I was like filming the chrysalis, and then I had to record my podcast with my brother. So I had to take the camera back upstairs on my way up. - But you escaped. - Oh. - The chrysalis escaped. On the way up, the camera fell. And now I have to spend $400 per pack. - Oh no. - So yeah, it was not. - Oh no. - And then I came downstairs and Blake said, "Guess what? One of the caterpillars turned a new chrysalis. - I didn't even catch it on camera. I did you. That's crazy. That's crazy. - Well, it was three days. Three days, I spent with that fucking thing. - You know what I told them? - I told them you called them that fucking thing. - You know what? They'll send them after you. And so you would have fucking watched it. - Do not. - Oh my god. - I think horrifies me more than a butterfly. - I used to be so scared of them. Now I'm just like kind of fascinated. Because they turn into goo in those little chrysalis. - I mean, it's incredible nature is rock and roll. - It's fucking rock and roll. Okay. - Make sure it's metal for sure. - Twisted? It's metal. It's fucking sick as shit. - I'm turning to goo. - I'm gonna fucking. - I'm just this beautiful color. - To mullage my organs and then scare the shit out of you with all my beauty. - It's punk for sure. - It's my rock indeed. - I am happy for you. I begs the question because of who we are. You've named them, I'm sure. - I haven't. - Whoa. - I know. - Wow. - Yeah. - That's your time for today. - Here's my problem. There are little two alive, I think, for me to get it too attached. - Say that again. What do you mean? - There are little two maybe alive. - So they have to be an animal object. I got it. Okay. - They have to be an animal object for that way. - Right. Because it's a good sign. - You don't want to get attached. - If one of them eats the other one, I don't know what they do in there, what they get up to. - Well that one's named like Hannibal Lecter. - Yeah, right. So what if I call him Christine and all of a sudden I have an existential crisis. You know what I'm trying to say? By the way, Leona has named everything in this house eight times. So like, me naming something at this point is so absurd because whatever I name it will not even be allowed or last because I don't rule this house anymore. - Do you have a favorite name that she's picked out for something? - Yeah. So she calls herself pretty. - You know what? And she stood by that by the way. She has always said that. - She literally calls herself pretty. And she's the mom. - You know what? - Now that's rock and roll bastard. - Yeah. That's fucking bad ass. And then I'm. And by the way, she doesn't give a shit about this crystal. Like, I mean, she's like interested, but she's like, my mom's so fucking weird about this. Like she's clearly like that. - I'm gonna be sure like you're tattooing everything and like how they can be. - Oh, yeah. - Oh, it's a moth. - It is a moth, but you know what? I was like, oh, a cocoon and a crystal. That's about as far as much. She's like, I already learned that at school. And I was like, oh, okay. You know more about this than I do. - She's like, pick up the pace. - She's like, actually, I could teach you. And she's like, my name is Miss Pretty. And I think my name was like, it changes every time. - Miss Aagro or something. (laughing) - Hideo, so terrible. (laughing) - Count of obitus. (laughing) - My name, I forgot, wait, blaze's name. And it was so tragic because it was Mother's Day. So he had to go along with it, but she was the mom. And her name was Pretty. My name was Sparkles. And his name was Honker. And she wrote in the card that said, "Mommy loves you, Honker." (laughing) Left it and I didn't know what was happening. She just kept saying, how do you spell mommy? And I was like, oh, like, cooking dinner. And I was like, oh, she's making me a card. She said, how do you spell loves? And I'm like, oh, you know. And then she wrote, she's like, how do you spell Honker? - I certainly hope he plays Honker in your personal life now. - Mommy loves Honker. - It just was like, and then blaze. It was just like so stoic. It was like, I don't know what to tell you. - At least you both know it will change maybe five minutes later. - Yeah, well, you know, that's so great because it's the only one that's really stuck, which is my favorite. It just makes me so happy. Yeah, so anyway, I think yesterday I said, she said, what's your name? And I said, I'll be current. And she said, I'll never remember that. And I said, but I'm your daughter. And she goes, I'll call you Chloe. And I went, what the fuck? Like, I don't even get to name myself when we play. - She was like, I threw you a bone to play along. And you didn't match my image. - You really didn't, I'm gonna rescind that in my life. - You got to read the room. And now I'm the boss again, 'cause I'm pretty remember. And I wrote, she actually says, I actually am the boss of, she calls it the tri-state area. I forget what she calls it. Newport and Hamilton County, I don't know. She has a very specific way of sustaining her. - It's pretty of the tri-state county. It's a tri-state area. - Yeah, look out Miss USA or whatever you're called. - Do you know what Miss Perty is doing for your B-Day? You have any idea what's coming up next week? - You know, not even a one. - Okay, do you know what Hopper's doing for you? - So he better do silly special, 'cause mommy loves him. (laughing) - Oh god, he hates my life. - That's terrible. - It's terrible. Well, actually, one of my oldest friends is getting married the weekend of our birthdays. Yours are my birthdays. She's getting married on six, six, two, six. And it's very intentional. She's a Scorpio. It's her whole thing. - I'm so excited. It'll be really fun. Leon is a flower girl. So we're doing that weekend. And then I will probably just like, I don't know. Last year we went to the Appalachian Festival and I got really high and watched like a flute player and Native American flute player. - Oh, we remember. (laughing) - It's like it was yesterday. I think about it almost weekly. So if that occurs again at Good Old Coney Island, I might head over there. But we'll see. very nice. What are you up to this? Oh, that was Mother's Day. I never mind. That wasn't my birthday. I've always around the same time. Whatever. What are you up to this weekend or this week your birthday? I don't know what's happening on the day of and apparently either does Allison Yikes. Is that good or bad? I wonder because if she like I have very specific plans, I'd also be a little afraid. No, I'm not worried at all. She has to handle. Although we've recently, as many know, with minimal detail that there's been a ban for quite some time on anyone planning trips except me and recently the ban has been lifted and Allison has gotten real excited about. She's flying a little close to the sun. Is that what you're saying? What's that? Is she flying a little close to the sun with her newfound power? She I don't want not in a negative way but in a I'm cautious way yes. She's because we a few times back at the beginning of the relationship, we did a lot of outdoor things that she planned and they didn't go well. They were not they ended up. They were more like near-death experiences. They were they I say with love and she meant very well. However, we certainly it was the closest to like having to come to terms with the end of my life. Not hyperbole. It was not I can assure you it's not everyone. And so I was like, Allison, I think for the rest of the relationship the planning is on me. You tell me where you want to go. We're going to have a good time. We'll work together. We'll work together. But I did hear she forgot pillows. But now this time around, we recently just went camping and she planned that. She also she she pretty much nailed it except she forgot pillows. That was the worst one for sure because that's a big one the ground without a pillow and I I'm you're you know I was going to say I already blanked. What was the time about pillows? Sorry I haven't had my drinks yet. I I went with you. So I'm just holding my hand to bring me back. I go with you. That's the problem. People look at me like where was I? I was like I don't know. I went with you. What the hell do you want me to do? I didn't tether myself to anything in reality. Well what I was going to I was going to say I sleep with like three to four pillows every single night in a very specific position. You have to have like the yeah. And the fact that there was none I mean I thought I was in a coffin. It was you were I think. I mean I was on the coffin. But if you died you would have just slowly made your own coffin. Just kept kept moving. I know I I had a we had a very good time. It was very it was like in the middle of the week. So that way it wouldn't be too crowded. And the weather was really nice and we'd sit up and had a fire is very sweet. So she nailed that and I was like okay. It's lovely. And all I know I don't know what's happening on the day of my birthday. But I know for my birthday another trip is coming up that she's also playing. I know. I don't I don't maybe it'll be like a cozy cabin or something. Maybe she's got to stop it with these with these outdoor things because I love to have a lot of trauma from the past. I'm like why don't you just take me to a nice museum. You know what I mean. Well she's looking for some wood to make her beautiful jewelry. You know she's out there working. Pop the same thing. I was like she's just it's like when you use the business card. I'm like expensive. And it's like yeah. She's like no no no this is this is romance M as I as I steal like scrap wood from the park goes in the back pocket. No I'm glad you said it because I thought I went out. It's a so fun creative lady. By the way I know we talked about my heart glasses in the Zenny ad which like not even an ad because well there wasn't ad this is not an ad because I just love them but my heart glasses. But I also wore yesterday my heart glasses and the necklace Allison made me my like triangle necklace. And my therapist was like oh my gosh I just love all of this together. It's such a good energy. And I was like well that that's very sweet of you. No she is can you tell the name the website. Yeah so we're all very proud of Allison over here she has broken free from the corporate chains. I am so forever. And she is now making her own jewelry. We've already talked about before on the show but just another shout out. It's called foragers craft and you can find it on Etsy. All of her stuff is like ethically sourced. Yes on walks with N. Exactly. From a very specific campground I was just sleeping on it. Yeah yeah yeah underneath and oh my god she should charge extra for those. That would be crazy. And use this as a pillow. Honestly if she carved out a pillow with wood out then like at least I have a surprise. Yeah. But no it's a everyone please go check out foragers craftness for local business woman-owned queer owned. Yeah hell yeah and the she posted this real yesterday that was like proof that you're one YouTube video away from doing any job a man can do. And I was like and then it was like the woodworking tools and I was like oh my god she's such a badass bitch. I love it. A while ago she would have been at what what were they calling it a girl boss? Like girl I almost said that and I was like oh C'mon man. Yeah our garage has originally the thought was oh that'll be like my studio. Oh now it's a garage. Sorry act fast. You can look in there you would know if a queer woman works in there or a big old sweaty man lumberjack. Yeah it's a wood shop for sure. So that's amazing. But yeah that's all I got going on for my birthday. I know this is a long intro but I will also say out of selfishness there's another birthday to celebrate tomorrow. Thank you. Somewhat today's my baby son's last day of being one. Our resident Gemini pet our only Gemini pet I think in this in between the two of them. Oh toxic. I know. I love it. Don't worry. I have a boy Scorpio so I know you know. God what a nightmare they would be. If they met I feel like I don't think there are like enemies to lovers or lovers to enemies and I don't want to be a fucking tornadoes what it is. Today I'm planning his puppy B day that's going to be at the dog park. I mean. Very big day over here. Is it what's the theme? If I told you what did you say? Is there a theme? Oh yeah his bark mitzvah we've discussed. Oh we've discussed this sure. I'll show you some of the stuff that's already coming. Also everyone at the dog park is so nice everyone like just recycles the old stuff so like this is like someone gave me like a tablecloth. Oh till like do the bird. Oh that's cute. So this has been Dana tomorrow. Nice Jewish boy. Oh my word. Yeah. Of course. I remember. And then of course you can't have a bark mitzvah without a yamaka and a little talus. Oh my god. Oh my god. We're bringing Dredel even though that's mainly like a Hanukkah thing. You are out of your mind. We have paint your own Dredel. Oh my god. You know what? And I'm very happy for him. He's technically 13. He's a man now. A little preteen boy. And I also I've pinned the tail on the hankies. So we can't get cut out a big hank. And then I didn't I thought there was just going to be like a party for like dog park people but Allison's like inviting like our friends outside of the dog park to come to. Oh my god. Once I'm in New York City I witnessed a dog's birthday party and like the amount of like pomp and circumstance and like people dressed up to the nines who attended this event and I was like this is living. This is these people are living and I just get to witness it. I have my version of that is I'm wearing pants with his face all over it tomorrow. And that's living. I'll tell you that is living. Oh my god. Anyway, so this is my first real birthday with him because he turned one with us last time but we had we didn't know each other yet. So now he's getting all his favorite stuff. Wow. Special special. Yeah. Anyway, so I just needed to say it out loud because we woke up this morning and I was like oh it's your last day as a one-year-old. Well, I love all this Gemini triplet energy we've got now. I know. It's really just another person to like scream. We just we just can't stop ourselves. It's never enough. Never could never will. Never should. Oh man. Well, thank you for letting me take a moment to talk about the beaties forever and ever. Right atop, we would like to thank EmbarkVet.com for supporting and that's why we drink. If you go to EmbarkVet.com, you can save $10 on the breed and health test and get free shipping with promo code drink. Obviously, I've talked before that I was able to figure out that Hank is mainly Rottweiler and Bernie's mountain. He's also Majorly Cocker Spaniel and then he's kind of an assortment of other things including German Shepherd and Chao and Pomeranian somehow. That's crazy to me. One of my other favorite things about Embark is that it's not just where you can learn about their breeds or you can find relatives for them, but it also teaches you a lot about their behaviors. It teaches you about their nutrition, their grooming style. 80% of dog parents felt way more connected to their dog after seeing the behavior insights specifically. Hank, you know, he has a protective side and of course that makes sense with, you know, Rottweilers. They're known to be Guardian dogs. Embark's newest feature, the behavior insights. They provide 15 genetic behavior scores mapped on your dog's DNA and you get a free look at one insight with your results and you can unlock all 15 plus a year of personalized training as an upgrade. I highly recommend that you get the dog DNA test that is trusted by millions so you finally understand the why behind the weird. Hank was always a little weird. Now it makes a little more sense to me. Go to EmbarkVat.com to get free shipping and save $10 on an Embark breed and health test with promo code drink. That's promo code drink to save $10 today. Anyway, shall we get into some stories? Let's do it. I'll go first. - Okay, by the way, the theme is birthday. - Yes, that's right, of course it is, 'cause this isn't the end of us talking about ourselves. Aha, you thought wrong, okay? - Thank you, Eva, by the way, for finding all these. - Yes, thank you, Eva, and thank you, Megan, for putting a call out and whatever happened to get to make this happen. I know sometimes we ask for stories. And when we do that, it is for usually an upcoming episode on socials, so you can see that there if we have a theme coming up. Okay, so this is called birthday deja vu. It's our first birthday theme story for this month. Hi, I'm in Christine. I heard you were calling for spooky birthday stories, so here's the one that happened to me a couple months ago. Ever since I was little, I would get weird dreams, months or years in advance, of places and situations I've never been to and never been in. After waking, I would always think weird, go about my business, and then the dream would happen later in real life. My dad gets the same dreams and the rest of my family has learned to just kinda go with it when one of us brings it up. About a year and some change ago, I had a dream I was in this open air market with green walls with my dad. He kept going deeper into the market and we ended up getting locked in overnight. There were more details, but these are the important ones. Fast forward to this past March, and I went on a trip for my birthday to a nerd convention and brought my parents so long. Is that what you and Allison are gonna do next? Is that what she's planning? You know what? Any day at this point. You're nerding out all day every day. Okay, brought my parents long. On one of the days we were on this trip, we were down in a touristy area going through a bunch of little market places. My dad veered my mom and I into this little warrant of market fronts where they were getting ready to close. We went in a little bit before I stopped because I noticed that the market was the same one from my dream right down to the green walls. - Hey, I mean, maybe that's exciting to you, but to me, I would always be so fucking nervous about what's coming up. - Well, here we go. But do you remember what happened in the dream? - Her jacket going further and further in. - And then they got locked in. - And then they got locked in, okay. - Yeah, so she notices that it looks exactly the same including the green shade of green on the walls. I'm immediately like, we gotta go. My dad's still going deeper into the market. I'm making sure I'm an eye shot of the entrance so we don't get locked in. And my mom calls for my dad and says, she had a dream, we gotta go. We got out and they locked the market up behind us with the same kind of gray I remembered from my dream. The only thing missing though was the baseball card shop I had seen. I wonder if we would have found it if we had stuck around kind of glad we didn't. - Ooh. - I don't remember. Did we even talk about a baseball card shop? I don't think that was even brought up in here. I think we forgot that in the story. But either way, I wonder if that was meant to be like, a warning, like don't get locked in. Or I wonder if that was like just a weird thing that you accidentally got a glimpse of and then evaded. - I wonder if, obviously I wouldn't know this, but I wonder if it had they been locked in, it would have been like so inconvenient and annoying to get out of there. And something in her brain went, when this happens, please get it out of here. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - This is so annoying. - So true, like feature you like, please go save me from this, yeah, true. - And like it could have just been something that's like, like hopefully they weren't endangered. - Yeah, mostly with your parents overnight in a shopping center, forget it, yeah, exactly. - The ripple effect would have been like, your day's gonna be horrible if you don't get out of this. - And it's your birthday, please save yourself. - Yeah, you're gonna miss that thing early, you know? - Yeah, is that nerd convention? - I, you know, love an nerd convention. Actually, I think RJ's taking me to essentially a nerd convention this weekend for. - Oh, fun. - Maybe day, so, have you been to one before? Like what, I don't think so. - I don't think so. - Do you go to conventions? - Not really. There's one, like, remember I went to that psychic convention in town. That was like, yes, again, we remembered that. - That was fun. - That was a while. - And then we talked about the pamphlet. And then, I think it ain't gonna be all right. And then we talked about the pamphlet for the furry convention that you were family member one too. But I don't usually go to many conventions. That was more, I feel like a West Coast thing. - Maybe, I know. - I don't know if it's true. - I hear things like tattoo conventions that like a lot of people I know went last weekend. And one of my friends was like, I spent almost, my husband and I spent almost two gray at non tattoos. And I was like, whoa, so that's a whole thing. - A tattoo convention feels like a dangerous place to be if you're-- - Totally. - If you're a hanky fur tattoo. - I must avoid. - I must avoid. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Do you have an idea for a future tattoo? - I have some. I mean, 11,000, yeah. - What's the one that's-- - I still don't have my hot stuff, you know? So that would be number one. I really want my hot stuff guy. - Any other big pressing ones? - Yeah, I really want a morning dove. And I really want to get my hum hallelujah tattoo. Oh my gosh. I need to get stars next to my little prince tattoo. I can go on forever. (laughing) - Well, I've had like a tattoo convention. You could break it up so quickly. - Oh my God, have like a little rubric. And be like, okay, I need my ginkgo leaf. Who's going to do that? - Yeah, I'm the guy. - He had a clock into the stars. My nine o'clock into that. - I love that. - That actually sounds, I mean, it makes sense. Why, maybe next year I'll go. - Yeah. - Oh, okay, so as you're like, I was like, please, I shouldn't ever punch that. - I think he was last weekend. So it is like birthday season, you know, maybe I'll do that for birthday next year. - Once you're halfway through May, until halfway through June. - So, anything could be excused. - Anything's our day and everything's our day. - I know better than to expect other people to feel that way, but my brain operates that way. - That's right. - And as it should. - All right, we've got another one from Meredith. He's a she/her pronoun. Thank you for normalizing pronouns. And the subject I got sleep paralysis for my birthday. Wow. - Okay, Meredith says, hi, Eva, at all. Today is my 29th birthday and her birthday is April 29th. So this is your golden year. - That's right. Happy B day, happy golden birthday. - I'm a tourist, so I don't believe in any of that bullshit. And then it says, like what the smiley face, like private problem. - Okay, tourists, yeah, I see you. - Like we're just being severed for nerds. - Ha ha, I see you, tourists. - And then she says, but you didn't click on this for my astrology jokes. - Okay, listen, tourists, you are, tour seasons over. - Yeah. - Have you gotten the memo over? - Get the memo as a mutable sign season. It's Gem and I time. - As I just said, halfway through May is my time. Even though that's tour season, it's my time. - Thank you. - Okay. - Back up. - BTFU, back the fuck up. You know what I'm saying? - BFU, I do. - Okay, this isn't paranormal really, but it was creepy as hell. And on my birthday, no less. Very rude of the universe. Well, I spent all morning trying to do damage control from the problem coworker. And about 2 p.m., I decided I deserved a nap. That's right. So I walked from my office to my living room where one of my cats was being cute sleeping on the sofa and I snuggled up with her. I sat in the alarm for one hour, but when it went off, June, who I guess is the cat and you're the June, who's a cat? - That's right, it's a great name. June was still sleeping next to me and it's still my birthday. So I was like just a few more minutes and fell back asleep. Apparently that was a mistake. My parents are coming at 6 to pick me up for dinner and the next thing I knew, I heard their voices in the house. - Oh. - And of course I thought, "Shit, I slept a whole two hours and I tried to get up or say something, but nothing happened." Then I felt that I couldn't actually see, but I felt my mom somehow on the sofa next to me. This is not a sofa, two adults can lie on. But she felt someone lying next to her anyway. - No, no, no, no. She told me that they had just decided not to take me out for my birthday, which made me very sad, but also confused 'cause like why are you in my house then? - Yeah. - And my mom's various limbs, look. - That alone needs to be, what a weird way to say that. - Should a backspace and retype that one Meredith. - No, I love it, fuckin' own it. - My mom's various limbs seemed to be in places that didn't make sense. (laughs) - I told you, it needed to stay, it needed to stay. - I bet Meredith actually was like, this is the best way, this is the nicest way to do it. - I'll submit this to a fuckin' story contest. I started to think this might be a dream, but I still couldn't move or speak or wake myself up. Then suddenly my parents were gone, and I was still frozen except for my toes, fingers, and eyes. I was looking at June sleeping on the blanket in front of me, except her face was now on the back of her head. - What the fuck? - Hey, and you can't move. - I'd be like, hey, this is the exact moment I would like to move, please. - Hey, my brain is now breaking in half. - I was now firmly convinced I was having sleep paralysis, although I didn't, that didn't make what I was seeing any less disturbing. - Uh-uh. - For what felt like hours I keep trying to move, get up, anything, and sometimes I would think I'd done it only to realize that it was too an illusion. - Jesus, for hours. - Jesus. - For hours. - Nightmare. Your parents better take you to like, the finest thing out for this dinner when you wake up. - Better show up with champagne. - After, I don't know forever, I heard my parents' voices outside, and this time I thought they might really be there. I heard them ring the doorbell and start getting more concerned when I didn't answer. I mean, imagine literally hearing the doorbell, and you can't get up. - I'm being frozen still. Like, how is this not waking your body up? I'm getting freaked out. - I'd be like, my soul is like, barely attached to my brain. - It's on vacation. - Yeah. - Yeah. - I was worried they would look in the front window and see me motionless on the couch and think, yeah, and the cat's face on the wrong side of his head. Everything's just like, fucking that, that shit, crazy. - If they saw both those things, I would hope that they would come try to save you for sure. - If they'd be in sleep paralysis, it's just such a nightmare. - Oh my God, hey God, my figure's panicked, and now I don't know where I am. Oh my God. - I was worried they would look in the front window and see me motionless on the couch and think I died. We're an anxious family. I try to. yell for them. And when they had the same non-result as always, I tried to just straight up scream, which would have been much less scary than seeing their daughter napping on the couch I'm sure. I think their beings are casted. Yeah. Right. Okay. Okay. I couldn't do that either, the screaming. Yeah. I heard my own scream coming from what sounded like across the street. What? So now you're throwing your own voice even though your soul is still having a slumber party across the street. And it needs to get the fuck home right now. Or I wonder if you were trying to scream, but the soul that's barely attached from you is across the street and was trying to get your attention to be like saying it's over there. Oh my God. Fucking bring it back. And then suddenly all the sounds stopped. My body felt normal and I cautiously moved my arms and legs. Everything worked. And I couldn't hear any voices anymore. So I checked my watch only an hour since my alarm went off. And the whole ordeal probably couldn't have been more than 10 minutes if that. Oh, June was where I'd left her looking totally unbothered with her face the right way this time. I like how she couldn't sense your parallel. They Siri or could and just ignored it, which is what my Juniper would do. I think my other cat Wednesday notice something was off though, because as I finally managed to sit up, she jumped on the couch and came over to me. I was still in panic mode, but there was nothing to panic about anymore. And then I thought you know who would love this story. We were the first fucking people that came to mind. Oh, God. And that's the end of the letter too, by the way. What a what a tail she wove. So fucking torus. I mean, really, I'm wow, I really, I really am taken aback by this. Like, I think I really hate I really hate the idea of time stretching, like feeling like really long. And I mean, thank God, it wasn't actually hours, right? But like that feeling of like something's lasting so long is dreadful to me. And also like, I wonder, did your did your parents show up or was that part of the dream too? You know, my understanding is like, now they're finally here. They're here. It's been just like two hours. Yeah. Okay. Wow. Yeah. That sounds absolutely horrible. Have you ever heard the concept? I don't even know what the right phrasing is. But like, it's like, it's somewhere on Reddit that like one day prisons will just be like mental prisons. I know you could be sent into like what feels like a thousand years. I mean, I've seen the black mirror episode of that. Okay. So maybe that's the black mirror episode. But the shit out of me for like, I was literally petrified of that episode. Like, you literally just you don't actually lose any time at all. And maybe your sentence in real life, like, punishment. Yeah. But you could be imprisoned for what your consciousness feels like it's like hundreds of years there. Yeah. That was a blue mirror, or blue mirror. That was a blue moon. That was actually like those blue light blue. I don't know. I've let's moving on. Thank you so much. Sorry that that was your birthday. I hope you at least got a good dinner. Like, I'm said, you know, like, please, can you imagine if then they're like, all right, Burger King. And I'm like, what? Actually, we're kind of like just thinking of you cooking for us like, absolutely not. I was thinking leftover Friday. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hmm. Okay. Here's a story. This is said by Brenna. She heard it's called Paranormal Birthday Story. Cool. Hi, Eva M. Christine. If you are feeling spicy, sweet baby G. Hanke's moonshine June, Leona blaze Allison and petrified fruit. We get everybody just about just about. It's certainly a lot. It's a real cast. Yeah. Baby G Hanke's moonshine June. Yeah. I love your podcast. I've been a listener since 2020. And let me just say I binge your show caught up in a year and got my friend hooked. We've been, we've been to see you twice. And at one of your shows, my friend actually got possessed. What? Speak on that. What do you mean? She did a total 180 from her usual cheerful self to sobbing and saying some incredibly weird things were still not over it. Okay. Wow. Okay. We're sorry. I'm sorry about that. Oops. Should I make you sign something? Did I? Yeah. Oops. Yeah. Don't suit me for that, I think. I saw your call for Paranormal Birthday Stories and really wanted to share. My grandpa passed away in October about two years ago. It was incredibly hard time. He was my father figure and watching him struggle with dementia was heartbreaking. He was a quintessential handyman always helping me with my car or fixing things around the house. A month after he passed, it was my birthday. I'm a Sagittarius, not a Scorpio M. So you're safe. I sure am. I live in Illinois now, but I grew up in Michigan. And since my birthday is always in the week of Thanksgiving, it's a two-for-trip home. The morning of my birthday, he came to visit me in a dream. It wasn't my first visit from the other side, but it was easily the best. We were back in my childhood home and he looked younger, just like you guys have mentioned. Appearing in the form, they felt best in. We were working in his basement workshop like we used to. Everything was so vivid. At the end, as we walked up the stairs, it was a heavy, tearful goodbye. I woke up sobbing, but I knew deep down he was there to say happy birthday and let me know he's still looking out for me. As the great Lizzie McGuire once said, "Well, that's my life. I hope you enjoyed it." I know I did. Love your hair. Hey, your guy, Sabrina. Well, that's the endings today are top tier. They are, like, I need everyone, in addition to your pronouns, I want you to put your big three astrology because I'm starting to sense some patterns here. That's incredible. At least whatever your Mercury is, your communication style, because it's giving some intensity and some kind of catiness in a fun way. You really should for one of our upcoming episodes, I would love to hear an astrology 101 from you. I know it's not. Oh, well, thank you. I feel like I'm way too amateur for that, but you know, I could at least research it, yeah. I mean, I know it's not technically a crime, but it would be a crime if you're learning all this and don't get to talk about it. Oh, wow. The way to get what I'm trying to butter me up. Yeah, I would love to talk astrology. I mean, you may feel like you don't know where you're talking about, but it's I know even less. So like, I would know. I did throw the word Kazumi out earlier, and I know I did that. I was like, that's sushi. I did that. I know, right? I did that to blaze yesterday. He went, what? Never mind. You know, that's typical honker. That's where we've honker. Classic honker. You know, honker has a Pisces moon, which means he's psychic. Okay, we'll talk about it another time. Well, okay, I don't know really what anything means, but when I hear Pisces, I immediately think like like very like in tune with their emotions. He's a very intelligent and emotionally intelligent man. Well, he doesn't talk and talk. He did, but he's so stoic, you know, that it's like the counter corn kind of overrides some of it. No, it's it's everything's working in there for sure. I think he just he is very wise about when to speak. Oh, that's so deep. But he's very important to maybe we should do a totally astrology episode. Maybe you do your psychic half, and I'll do the astrology. Okay, I'll just guess we were going to say next. And I'll say it just to make it sound good. Thank you. Yeah. Okay, this next one is, oh, well fun. It was sent to us at 22, but she know I love that. That's your lucky number. And this is Alexa. He was actually her pronouns. Bitch, is this your is this your friend? Who did you just who was Hillary Duff? What was that girl's name? Brenna. I think this is Brenna's fucking friend. This is the one I didn't read it. I didn't read it. It literally there was one parenthesis I didn't read. And I usually read the whole thing. It says she also wrote in about it after it happened. But I didn't like know what it is. The subject I just I got possessed by a ghost of your last show. Oh my God. I should have said it because it says she did. We're still not over it. She also wrote in about it. But I didn't want to say it in case like, well, yeah, why would you? And now I'm like, oh, shit. Okay. Yep. She wrote in about it. That feels like an even move. There's no way that we accidentally got all their stories. I found it. I think because even knows us well enough to go what happened. Yeah. That we'll want to know. And that's a birthday gift. Thank you. Well, happy birthday to us. Thank you, Eva. That was what a gift. Okay. And we get to like play both friends. That's fine. Oh my God. Fine. You get to be the possessed one. Remember when I said speak on that? Okay. Well, then Alexa was like, holy shit. You manifested it. Alexa was like, we'll do. Okay. You're like, is this your friend? And I'm like, what the fuck? I don't know. I was like, is this your Lizzie McGuire friend? What? I will say, I don't see the word, the name Brenna anywhere. So there might be two people who've been possessed. Well, that would be wild. Let's see this. Well, yeah, it didn't say who the name of the person. But yeah, I'm assuming this is the same friend. If not, this is bananas. That's going to be, that's going to be you guys have to link up at that point. Yeah. Oh my God. Maybe there should be like a, like a, either a, like a discord or like a group. Some sort of group therapy for everyone who's been possessed at our shows. Yeah, we will not be paying for it just to clarify. But I would like to hear the gossipiest, but we want to be there. Yeah. Okay. Here we go. Hello, and that's why I drink crew. Sorry for such a click baity headline, but it really is the most accurate way to describe my experience as I can think of nothing else to describe what happened. Can you read the headline again? Because I already forget it. I sure, I surely can. I, again, I got possessed by a ghost at your live show. And we want answers. We want answers. I best friend and I both love your shows. We made a trip to Cincinnati for your live show. Well, this happened in your home. I like that. That was 10 minutes from where I am right now. This past April. And it was written in 2023. So, so April 2023. Cincinnati is a more exciting city than we thought it would be. And that's saying something as we were both raised in Michigan. Hey, what parentheses, drogatory? I don't know. I forget. Fuck you. (laughing) Anyway, we both ended up with our own spooky things happening hers at the Airbnb and mine at the show. But this story is about me, okay girl. And she can write in her own story if she wants, but it definitely made our last night there, especially creepy. Now onto the possession part. We were having a great time laughing and being scared along with the rest of the crowd. It was about the point in the show where you're showing a clip where Emma Christine was in a sort of trance. It was probably you doing this as well. - Oh my god, yes, it's so creepy. - It's hard to remember as this is where I began to fade out of being aware of what was going on around me. - Whoa! Alexa, it sounds like you fell asleep at our show, actually. - Yes. - That's kind of fucked up by you. You wrote in to tell us that. - Wow. - Your many limbs didn't work in the right place. And your cat's face was on the wrong side of its head. (laughing) - Okay, my friend and I looked at each other and we both had chills. And to me it felt like the energy had shifted and my chills didn't go away. What happens next is a bit hard to describe but I'll try my best. The energy around me began feeling a bit heavy and it kept pressing at me like it needed to say or communicate something and it needed me to do it. I've never been overly attuned to spirits that this was a first experience for me and I was completely caught off guard. So this energy needed to communicate something. But before I even had the chance to think about what was happening, I thought, what do you need to say? - At that point, an overwhelming sense of grief and sadness washed over me and I basically blacked out over and over in my mind. My only thought was he's so sad. Oh my God. - Was that Waley House? - In 2023, yeah. - That was like, Mr. like one of the Waley's maybe. - Maybe, and yeah, and that was the first time we ever did the Estus method. And that was where, remember, his daughter Violet died by suicide in the house. And he was not even found her, I think, right? - Yes, yes he was, 'cause he had offered her like a peach or something and she went out by the outhouse and shot herself. Yeah, wow, okay. So that, I mean, that's immediately where my mind went because remember when we did the Estus method, you guys were asking questions, like, and they were saying like, where is she? Like by the well or like outside, check outside, or, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. I also have chills. - Oh my gosh. That's all I remember during the entirety of the time I blacked out was just thinking he's so sad. I don't remember what happened the last bit of the show. I came to during the singing of Happy Birthday to my mom, to Linda, with my friend holding me close and rubbing my shoulders and speaking firm affirmations and grounding me. Oh my gosh. - Whoa! At least your friend clocked that. Like, I would have not even noticed that my friend was going through something if I was watching a show. - I would have been like, you had too many white claws. - Yeah, I'd be like, go to the bathroom. We're tunnel vision going on right now. I'd be like, why aren't you laughing? This is so funny. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd be like, and also like, what a jarring way to wake up. Linda dancing. (laughs) Wow. Which by the way, thank you everyone for always being so complimentary. - Oh, it's so fun. - My mom very happy to get - Oh, it makes it so special, especially when it was in Cincinnati, like we sang to her. I mean, she wasn't there, I guess, but. - It was always an April show, whichever April show was closest to her birthday. - Yeah. - We never did that for Ranaada. She wouldn't have cared so much. - Well, she has an August birthday. - She's usually in Europe, and I feel like we don't usually tour in August. We're usually finishing up something for the fall or, yeah. - Sure, it's just the timing. - I love you, mom. I swear to God, she's a Leo, so she does want the attention. It's not that. - We should have done one just on a random day and just had it. - We still can. We have some time before August rolls around. (laughs) - I don't remember what happened. The last part of the show, I woke up to singing Happy Birthday, Linda, with my friend, Holi, me and grounding me. I was sobbing, not just a few tears, but full-blown sobbing, and I was shaking, and I couldn't catch my breath, and I was getting the weirdest fucking looks from folks around me. I mean, you did look incredibly moved by the Happy Birthday song to other people. - Or terrified of it, which like-- - Or horrified. - Both are, and I feel like even if people are looking at you, I think a lot of times, you can feel, I can't speak on this, but knowing our listeners and viewership, I think a lot of times it's like, oh, should I do something to help rather than what the hell is wrong with you? I think there's a difference. I'm hoping at least that you said that it wasn't like a judgmental. - No, I would bet a million dollars over a million dollars, how do I help? Is she going to be-- - Yeah, yeah. I was absolutely shaking after this, and I still can't describe exactly why or what happened. We were some of the last to leave the crowd as I was trying to calm down, but don't think for a moment that that will turn me from going to another show, we were like, okay, we will not be allowed. I will not allow it. I don't want you to go through that again. We'll put you in a special viewing booth, okay? - Yeah, a special booth. We'll just send you a video of us just telling you what's going on. We're both excitedly waiting for your next tour. Thank you so much for the work and dedication. So hopefully you came to our poor decision store. - Yes, so hopefully didn't have another crisis, like terrible crisis. But I wonder, like, do you think it's the same fan? Now I'm really weirded out because you're right, there's no, oh, but it must be the same, right? - It must be, but I mean, how would we, there's no evidence, there's no, when did the, when did, I'm sorry, I lost her, I mean, but when did you write it? We've been to CU twice. I got my friend hooked. We've been to CU twice and at one of your shows, my friend actually got possessed, casual. - Okay, well, if they do know each other, at least implies they did go back to another show. - Oh, true. And this was written like in this May, like a week ago. - So okay, wow, oh, wow, okay, wow, wow, wow, I love this. Eva, good job finding those. - Yeah, oh my gosh. - I wonder what Eva had to look on in the May, 'cause I got your live show. - Oh, yeah. - How many do you think came up? 'Cause I hope one. - I don't know, but if there was ever at least five or six, that should be a whole lot of stuff. - Let's meet up for a problem. We need a red alert if that's going on. - 100%. And then Alexa signs it, doors and bagel bites. - Oh, cute. - Oh my God. - Okay, so I believe I'm up next. This is number five, and it's from, let me see here. - I was shaking my iced tea, but it feels like I was drum rolling you in. - Oh, it does. - It sounds like a drum roll. - Ready, and number five, the person who wrote in is? - Lisa, she heard. And it says M, Christine, Eva, and pets. I saw you are looking for birthday stories, and I have a good one. And this, by the way, the title is Disney Birthday Gone Wrong. - Oh, I hope the haunted mansion's involved. - No, that would be fun. You can use my first name. When I was five years old in 1980 for context, my dad took me to Florida for my birthday. The plan was to stay with his cousin who lived on the Gulf Coast for a few days, then stay with my dad's friend Dee Dee in Orlando and visit Disney World for two days. Dee Dee said her boyfriend lived only four miles from Disney. I'm already starting to feel this is a fucking true crime story, and I'm like not loving it already. Okay. - We arrived at Dee Dee's boyfriend's house, and I was so excited. He was a lawyer, and the house was really fancy. It even had these weird toilets with no seats, which I found out later, were urinals. - Good, good. - Yeah, yeah, it could also be a good day, but anyway. There was a lake out back with a little plane that landed on the water, geez. - Okay, mine. - The next, no big deal. Happy birthday. The next morning, Dee Dee was driving us to Disney in a big white Cadillac. One thing you should know about Dee Dee, I think I know a lot about Dee Dee already. - I've learned more than I think you know what you've said. - Yeah, exactly. She speaks for herself. Her reputation precedes her. One thing you should know about Dee Dee is that she was known at that time for her love of the devil's lettuce. - Okay. - I really like, I mean, I have yet to hear a bad thing about Dee Dee. - I mean, Dee Dee sounds like a party. Okay, one thing you should know, she was known at that time for love of the devil's lettuce. I'm pretty sure she did a wake and bake that day, because she couldn't find Disney World, oh no. Oh no. - What do you mean? Like, were you already there and she, is it like, - So they said they live for, that her boyfriend lived four miles from Disney World and now she's going to drive Lisa to Disney World on her birthday and got lost, I guess, going to Disney World four miles away. - So one of the most famous scenes of Jersey Shore is when Snooki is on the beach and she's drunk and she goes, where's the beach? She can't find the beach and the guy points at the sand and he's like, this is, it's right here, this is the beach. (laughing) - Where's the beach? - Yeah. - And she goes, where's the beach? Where's the beach? And then she gets arrested because she's like, obviously so hammered, she doesn't know where she has. - And she's one screaming in public. - Yeah, I mean, she, anyway, this is kind of reminding me of that where like, she's like, basically, you could see the castle and she's like, where's Disney? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's like, I can't find it. And like, I mean, I know it's 1980, but I think even then, like they had like, Mickey Mouse like signs. I mean, maybe it's not as much as it is now, but I imagine they've tried to show you where it is. If you're only a couple miles away, but I don't know. Okay, so she did a wake and bake that day. She couldn't find Disney. She stopped at a gas station for directions and pretended to get gas. But then after she got direction, she started driving off with the hose still in the gas tank. - What is happening? - I don't think Dee Dee was on the devil's lettuce. I think this feels like something, something else. - Something else is happening. I know people like to say devil's lettuce, but I mean, this house, like maybe she's anyway. Eventually she dropped us off. Okay, and we had a fun day. The next day, I was devastated to learn that we were driving home back to my dad's cousin's house. My dad insisted we were only ever going to Disney for one day, but I knew it. So basically the trip got cut short and the dad was saying like I always said that and she's like no you didn't like we were supposed to be here longer I guess it wasn't until I was 25 when when my dad told me the real story oh gosh. The day the devil's snow or something I know I'm like what could it mean what could it possibly mean okay the day of our Disney adventure I woke my dad up before DD and her boyfriend were awake he went to the kitchen and looked in the cupboards from for some cereal to feed me for breakfast. The kitchen cupboards had no food but they were full of machine guns what the fuck what the fuck yeah that one just let us that was that was not these doing something much bigger happening I don't know what the fuck it is they do say marijuana's the gateway. This is like is this how scar face started I know I like if I if I keep to smoke and do if I get a good out stairs and find like fucking artillery in the in the cereal box I mean this is so upsetting okay so I mean it is sad and I think it's hard like especially as a kid and I know parents like they don't always know how to handle things but like if it's hard to hear that your dad is like that your parents were like oh we're leaving and that's it and you don't get to go back and they're the back of like you just don't know what's right. Yeah like that sucks I know that feeling of like being like confused okay so he went to the covers to look for cereal Jesus and found cupboards full of no food but full of machine guns and heavy artillery weapons of mass destruction I mean this is literally Florida like this is and remember it's a rich lawyers house so like what is he up to with this money you know like this is sketchy as fuck okay this later DD's boyfriend was sent to prison for smuggling drugs Lee surprising they have ever heard right. DD had left him by then so she didn't get in trouble and fact she got her act together and got a degree in engineering and hopefully figured out how to use a gas tank. It figured out where does he was yeah yeah and also found a way to Disney World so that's the story of my Disney birthday gone wrong wow okay that is that is Lisa I'm so sorry that happened to you I'm glad you got a good story out of it 20 years later though. Yeah and the goods know that DD is is thriving. Love love a love a woman make it her own way after getting wrapped up in something. Wow well you know I I say it all the time but I'm not it's I like when we have listener stories that are true crime. I feel you don't happen often and like there's something there's something kind of especially when it's like it wraps up at the end you know. It just feels very I don't know. There well I'll tell you I'll take off camera my mom has a similar story but what. Yeah I know I'm leaving people hanging there I was I was thinking I was like should I say it and I'm like I don't know how much I should say but. She had a boyfriend who is into some stuff was just oh yeah I think all their moms did at least back in the 80s at least they tell at least some of them do because my mother is like oh and she exaggerates so I don't know how much of that is true but yeah there's some weird stories from back then I'm like people just kind of were like oh well yeah no my I think it's I think it's one of my favorite stories of my mom I'm we've all heard that she has. Experience a lot of ridiculous doesn't her life she lived a life this one was was a doozy maybe I'll talk about it on a like a future. Patreon or something yeah maybe we'll keep it for like private feed yeah yeah yeah yeah. Oh man well okay well thank you so much that was Lisa yeah was Lisa yes okay now we've got our our final for the B days. This is from oh my god Grace who's a she her pronouns thank you for no amazing pronouns and the subject is short but sweet tail on how I cursed humanity Grace you're an icon. So you're the problem I've been wondering if I'd ever run into you. So Grace says hello all OG listener first time writing I went to your show in Burlington Vermont in front row do you remember that show. Wait do I remember but we've we've been to Burlington Vermont a few times twice so that one of them was the last show before COVID right. Okay because then we went the next was supposed to be Seattle and yes canceled and we went to to Maine Portland Maine and Burlington is our last to in 2020. Wow okay memory what the hell it's because I remember thinking wow I finally gone to Maine and then COVID hit so I remember like thinking like hey at least I got to go to Maine before the world. And Lisa was with us for those yes yes and there was like a hot tub it was a whole thing I do remember the hot tub. I just remember already the air like things were getting weird about COVID and it was like very subtle but like things were starting to get. People were chatting. But yeah so okay so but then we went back to Burlington and that was also the week we had our. Car our snowbank right or was that something different. No that was that was the Hampshire and that was the next time we were there and we were driving through the Hampshire I don't know anything. So shut up you literally for the last like two minutes you seem to just be a calendar like you remember very vividly the last place I vacation before COVID that was about it. That's about the standard my memory of that time I. I remember Burlington Vermont but I don't remember the I I don't have a broken up in my head. They went to our show in Burlington Vermont sat front row yes this was the show where M gave us all a show with a hole in their pants. Oh yeah yeah I recall that love that that is the takeaway from the whole night that I. I gave you an opportunity to say anything else and you said nothing and then we just fill it in with the whole. I really for those who weren't there I remember that hole in my pants it was pretty all do. I was a tragic one I think I'm pretty sure I was flashing everyone the whole night and I just told people up front to just embrace what was happening. It looks like they did yeah you know thank you I feel safe so I have so many crazy stories to tell you but as my first submission let me tell you how I curse all humanity. Way to bring it home girl let's just start off like really low like low ball it you know like just start off easy anything from yours downhill Jesus. Let's set the scene Vermont girl born and raised to European immigrant parents traveling in February to escape Vermont's icy tundra to Florida the sunshine state. It's February 2020 okay well luckily we have Christine here who remembers every single day. It's February 2020 my birthday to be exact and I decide let's sit through a three hour presentation on a Disney time share so we can get discounted tickets for animal kingdom. Okay bad bird the idea but it's okay I logistically you're making a lot of sense but I don't think I could do that. Well nothing went wrong the presentation was just hella boring however I wanted to celebrate 30 surrounded by Zebra's elephants and other creatures that wouldn't dare venture to Vermont. Fair reason my husband two sons and I absolutely had a blast when I was on my bazillion beer because hey vacation and you only turn 30 once I bet your two sons really like mom's having a great fucking time she's on beer bazillion. They're really like I can't wait till I could be on beer Brazilian on 30 my 30th birthday yeah it sounds like fun no judgment I I feel like if I at any age if I saw someone celebrating I was like they're having the time. Hell yeah good for them. We had an absolute blast when I was on my bazillion beer a man stepped on my toe and I spilled my beer to say the least I was miffed I sat down to have some dessert where my boys remind of me that I hadn't made my wish yet. I wish I close my eyes and in white shrewd fashion open my eyes and said we need a new plague. What the fuck is wrong with you are you. Flash forward two few weeks later and it's March 2020 and we get COVID. Girl you have you better blame it on your bazillion beer because it's gone to Maine for the first time you bitch. Where are you wishing for that what was what the fuck is a matter with you a birthday wish you not have any respect for a birthday wish because some guy stepped on your toe and you're like we need a plague. You know what that guy who stepped on your toe has no idea what butterfly effect he caused. You know what they say like the flap of a wing with a step of a toe. There's a fucking pandemic. Oh the magic of Disney really wow so March 2020 happens and then we get COVID my bad sorry I wish so hard. Yeah girl you should be for sure.
