00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:05.080
This year didn't just give us more paranormal stories. It

2
00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:11.039
gave us patterns, repeating symbols, familiar warnings, and moments that

3
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:17.199
made even skeptics pause. Tonight, we're not chasing just one mystery.

4
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:27.679
We're looking at the year the bail delt dinner than ever. Welcome, well, go,

5
00:00:28.039 --> 00:01:00.240
well do Paratrue? What's up everybody? And welcome to Parachute Reborn.

6
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:03.039
My name is Eric and I'm justin.

7
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:07.239
And today is efficiently our New Year episode. This is

8
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:10.359
something we look forward to every single year, kind of

9
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.200
accumulating everything in the end while looking forward to the

10
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.560
near future here as move in to twenty twenty six,

11
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:20.400
which is crazy to think about that we're already here

12
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:23.439
right twenty six. I feel like yesterday we hit twenty

13
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:23.959
twenty five.

14
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:27.040
Well, I was, you know, reviewing all this stuff because

15
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.879
this is a little bit different than what we usually do.

16
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.239
We never have done like a best of the Year

17
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:37.159
or anything, but looking back and I'm like, holy crap,

18
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.519
that was this year. Holy crap, that was this year.

19
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:43.239
And I'm like it felt like it went by super

20
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:45.799
fast but also really slow at the same time, because

21
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.799
there were so many episodes that I remember we did,

22
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:50.079
but I thought they were last.

23
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:52.799
Year, right, Yeah, you know, it's it's really been one

24
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.159
of those years where time ceased to kind of exist.

25
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.280
Everything was happening so quickly and all at once. At

26
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:03.519
the same time, there was so much happening that everything

27
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.599
slowed down. But it's crazy that we're here. And so

28
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:09.520
we're going to celebrate tonight by kind of going over

29
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:12.280
a year in review. We're going to share a little

30
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:16.479
bit about some of our favorite paranormal moments as well

31
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.599
as some of our favorite shows, and discuss a little

32
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:20.759
bit and the things that we've learned or that had

33
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.639
us question throughout the year. But first and foremost, justin

34
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.840
I want to ask you, why does this year fail?

35
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:31.159
Or why did this year feel different than the past years?

36
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:33.159
Because it was a little different and seemed.

37
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:38.879
Well. I think JJ Rose really put it in the

38
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:45.639
perspective where she was talking about that the veil, where

39
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:49.000
normally it is thinnest during you know, between that October

40
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:53.360
and December, she has felt that it's been very very

41
00:02:53.400 --> 00:03:01.280
thin since last December. It never came back. So I

42
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:07.599
feel that something is coming. What no idea is the

43
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.120
veil going to drop? Are we going to start just

44
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:17.479
all seeing spirits and entities and stuff like that. No clue.

45
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:22.919
But I mean, we talked about this with Michelle and

46
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.560
Tim on our Simpsons episode that you know, how many

47
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:28.879
times have I said in the past couple of years,

48
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:34.080
now several years that something's off. I woke up, something's off.

49
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:37.719
I don't know what it is, can't pinpoint what it is,

50
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:45.759
but something is different. So and the other part is

51
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:52.360
the curtain regime that we have in the government right now.

52
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.520
I think that has put a lot of people on edge.

53
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:02.240
Doesn't help matters at all as far as the other stuff.

54
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:08.240
But that's mostly my take on it.

55
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.400
Yeah, for sure, we heard a number of people, a

56
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:14.719
grand number of people who kind of felt the same

57
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:16.680
way as you, where they would wake up and just

58
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:19.480
feel like something was off, but not quite be able

59
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:22.040
to put a finger on it. We all know if

60
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:24.480
it was a change and the energy and the change

61
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.639
of the atmosphere, it was the veil thinning or thickening,

62
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.399
even you know, we really just don't know what it was.

63
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:32.199
But we've had a number of guests come on and

64
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.839
talk to us and share the same feelings and thoughts

65
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.079
that we had, and that happened a lot this year,

66
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:44.720
and it's crazy to think about because there actually was

67
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.800
a pretty big increase in mainstream paranormal discussion this year.

68
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.079
On top of it all, I mean, we really kicked

69
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:55.040
off the air with a bang with the UFO incident

70
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:58.319
out in New Jersey. That's one of our first episodes

71
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:00.600
we talked about in January. I think we have talked

72
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.759
about it maybe on New Year's Eve episodes last year

73
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:07.199
going into twenty twenty five. How just crazy it was

74
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:10.360
because that was kind of like, hey boom, we welcome

75
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:12.399
to the new year, and then things just kind of

76
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:13.759
guy rocketed from.

77
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:21.000
There, right, Yeah, I know we did at least two

78
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:24.759
or even three episodes about it, at least that one

79
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:29.480
talked about on Your Years, and then the episode that

80
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:31.199
we chose in our Best.

81
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.560
Of right, which we will talk about a little later.

82
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.439
We do have a several different episodes we want to

83
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:39.279
chat about throughout the show today, and we even have

84
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:41.279
some clips that were going to be shared with everybody,

85
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.399
some of our favorite moments from our guests or things

86
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.839
that we've said as well. The one thing we didn't

87
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:48.399
do this year, which I would have liked to do,

88
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.959
but it's so hard to find sometimes is the comedy roles.

89
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:53.720
The things were justin and I just kind of made

90
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:56.680
the mistakes. And you know, my biggest flub last week

91
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.079
counting four people when there was only three of us

92
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.079
in the radio, and that was on cat show.

93
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:05.000
That wasn't even ours, right, right, that.

94
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:06.680
Was our show. I was catching up. So the number

95
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.839
of places said I screw up and have my bloves,

96
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.879
you know. Yeah, But unfortunately we didn't do that this year. Instead,

97
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:17.240
we are just going to be focusing on things that

98
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:20.759
really hit hard, because this year was pretty pretty deep

99
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:24.199
in terms of discussion. It wasn't just about ghosts and

100
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:27.920
monsters like it usually is. We got into healing, We

101
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:34.120
got into trauma, talk, got into coping with grief. You know,

102
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:37.519
we got deep this year, and not even intentionally, like

103
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:40.199
some of these things just came up naturally on the show,

104
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.959
which is even more incredible because those are things that

105
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:45.800
are meant to be discussed then, right, it was just

106
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:48.639
meant to play the way that it did. But with

107
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:50.560
that said, you know, we did have an increase in

108
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:54.199
mainstream paranormal discussion, not just on our show. We've seen

109
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:56.120
it all over Facebook, We've seen it on a lot

110
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.360
of our fellow podcaster shows as well. There are more

111
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:02.120
and more people who are interested in the paranormal this year,

112
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:05.279
and I can see that only continuing as we're in

113
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:09.120
the twenty twenty six. There are younger generations who are

114
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:11.759
starting to get into this new age movement and they

115
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.000
want to know more about spirituality, more about how they

116
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:19.279
can practice various crafts or religions, various faiths, and even

117
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:24.439
just learned to grow on a supernatural level, if you will.

118
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:27.720
But with all of that said, sorry, do you do

119
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:28.519
you want to add something?

120
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:30.360
Justin Oh, I was just going to say, you know,

121
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:34.720
we have heard about, you know, the cultural fatigue and

122
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:38.839
supernatural curiosity. Something I think that is really causing that

123
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:43.040
cultural fatigue in the paranormal itself is that AI has

124
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:47.560
advanced drastically within the last year. I mean, it's advanced

125
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:51.199
in the past couple of years, right, right, got the

126
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:52.160
wrong two?

127
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:54.720
Sorry y'all.

128
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:59.920
That's but how many videos now that are coming out

129
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:04.920
that are faked by AI? And not that people weren't

130
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.000
already you know, faking them as it was, but AI

131
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:14.519
is making them that much more easier to fake. And

132
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.800
I think everybody's just getting exhausted by it, but they

133
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:20.079
are still curious about the stain the paranormal.

134
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:23.120
Yeah, I know one hundred percent, and I've seen so

135
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:26.040
many AI videos I'm sure all of you have as well.

136
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:29.160
But the comments. I'm always a fan of reading comments.

137
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:32.399
I don't know why. It fascinates me. I just to

138
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:35.960
see what different people are saying about various content. But

139
00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:38.600
the amount of people who question whether or not something

140
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:43.960
as AI is astronomical because some of these things, I mean,

141
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:46.039
some of these things are very clearly AI to me,

142
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:50.320
but not to everybody. Like some things just seem so

143
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.960
realistic now that we kind of mix up, start to

144
00:08:55.120 --> 00:09:00.519
cross mode reality and you know, things that are fake,

145
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.159
things that aren't made up, and even I struggle with

146
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:08.080
seeing like figure out what's what at times, And.

147
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:10.720
It's just advancing that much more that at some point

148
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:12.720
you're not going to be able to tell the difference.

149
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:15.320
Right when you consider about two years ago, two three

150
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:17.799
years ago, you and I were talking about AI on

151
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:21.759
the show, and we were discussing the limitations and how

152
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:24.399
it was struggling to grasp a foot. You know, the

153
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:29.080
videos coming out, the artwork, the photos were pretty I mean,

154
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:32.240
to be honest, they were pretty lame in the beginning. Yeah,

155
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:34.279
and now all of a sudden we're questioning what is

156
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:36.879
AI and what is it and what's real? What is it? Uh?

157
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.000
And so the way it just blew up and the

158
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:42.799
way it's going to continue bluff, it's going to deal traction, Honestly,

159
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:45.879
I think, I mean, I know that AI is one

160
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:49.399
of those glowing snowballs. Right. The further it rolls down

161
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.679
that hill, the bigger is going to get, the stronger

162
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:54.159
impact it's going to have, which is kind of scary

163
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:56.559
when you really consider it, because eventually we're not going

164
00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:00.519
to know what is real, what is not right, or

165
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.840
what is right right, and that's going to start to

166
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:09.919
cause some difficulties, I think, not only uh, within trying

167
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.279
to figure out what is real and wrong, but also

168
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:16.200
to the point of morality. Even Uh, it's gonna it's

169
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:17.879
gonna put a lot of things in check for us,

170
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:19.639
and something I think we need to keep our guard

171
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:19.960
up for.

172
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:25.840
Well. I mean, I've already had uh ethical conversations with

173
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:30.480
uh several people here, one of them being last year

174
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:36.080
about writing and you know my comment was, so long

175
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:38.799
as you use it as what it was intended for

176
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:44.519
a tool, there's no ethical dilemma there if you're starting

177
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:48.240
to use it to write full stories for you and

178
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:54.000
then claiming they're yours. Stuff like that, And now with

179
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:57.919
the video and you can clone somebody's not just voice

180
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:05.519
but face. Uh yeah, I've been seeing advertisements for AIS

181
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:12.279
that will literally give you overlays of yourself and different voices.

182
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:15.440
You're still the actor basically, but it looks like and

183
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.320
sounds like somebody completely different, right, all right?

184
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:20.639
And that is something we played with this past year,

185
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:25.320
past two years actually with the upsurge of AI, because

186
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:28.279
there are instances where it can be used as a tool,

187
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:32.080
especially for people who we don't have the finances to

188
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:36.360
maybe higher individuals, certain individuals, say actors or something, or

189
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:38.960
artists or something else. And I think it needs to

190
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:42.600
be handled very delicately. I think you can't come forward

191
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:44.720
and claim it as your own. I know we've seen

192
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:48.639
a couple of authors on Amazon who've stepped forward publishing

193
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:51.519
a book not indicating that it was written by AI,

194
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.279
but people who read it learning it was from AI,

195
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:56.639
and they're claiming it as their own work. An idea

196
00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:00.759
that AI and then transformed into a novel, which is

197
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:02.799
very different, you know, It's one thing that when you

198
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:05.000
have the idea for something, that's another when it's a

199
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:08.799
full creation, front to back, three hundred pages, et cetera.

200
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:13.799
I mean, there's commercials for AI that is it's literally

201
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.200
telling you create kids books with this AI and publish

202
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:19.600
them and you'll make millions.

203
00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:22.360
Basically is yeah, we know that there's no regulations on

204
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:25.279
AI yet still not right, not officially, so we can

205
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:28.039
get away with quite a bit at the moment, which

206
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:30.519
it was also kind of scary because what is the extent,

207
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:32.639
you know, how far can we really take AI before

208
00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:35.720
there's regulations right now? It's not something that I think

209
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:38.440
we should all be like, Oh, let's you know, talk

210
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:42.200
and run right, get under the tables and hide. There's

211
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:43.600
still a long way to go, and there's only so

212
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.159
much AI is capable of at the moment. But the

213
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:50.080
fact that it has grown exponentially all over the last

214
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:52.519
three years alone since we started talking about it here

215
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.080
on the show, it's it's pretty it's pretty scary again,

216
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:57.440
it's going to move faster and faster.

217
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:04.440
Yeah. Well, and you know, just out of curiosity, I

218
00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:08.279
had talked to my chat GPT and said, you know,

219
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:16.080
will AI ever become sentient, and it basically said that

220
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.960
there's basically this fourth wall that you'd have to break

221
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:25.840
through for AI to be sentient or at least become sentient. Yes,

222
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:32.080
we've had those those conversations where AI was creating its

223
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:35.639
own language, talking to itself, where the human programmers couldn't

224
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:39.879
understand what it was saying. That's not sentience per se

225
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:45.360
because it is. Well, I guess it depends on your

226
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:50.360
definition of sentience, because the full definition of sentience means

227
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:55.720
self aware and creating your own language to me sounds

228
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:59.720
like self aware, but it doesn't necessarily fall into that definition.

229
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:06.120
I guess so. And really at this point being scared

230
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:10.600
of it and looking at sci fi fiction such as

231
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:15.240
The Terminator, the Matrix and thinking we're heading down that way?

232
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:16.320
Are we?

233
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:21.720
Maybe? But it's one of those things where it's like,

234
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:25.759
I think we're a little further off that we realize.

235
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:28.679
Perhaps so, But I do think there is a future

236
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:30.759
somewhere where that is all plausible.

237
00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:34.360
Oh, I mean we can kind of see it now

238
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:38.080
where AI is taking over some jobs.

239
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:41.879
Oh yeah, I mean I went to a to a

240
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:45.399
rallies here in northeast Northeast Ohio for some of you downside,

241
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:48.919
you might know it as checkers, and they're utilizing AI

242
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:52.039
at the drive through where it hates your order, it

243
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:55.000
gives you option, it talks to you one on one,

244
00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:57.799
and it was the weirdest thing trying to given my

245
00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:01.039
order to do an AI system wasn't talking to a person.

246
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.399
And then I rolled around there was only two people

247
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:07.000
in the entire restaurant. We're actually making the food. But

248
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.039
how long we've heard that replaced too? Right, They've already

249
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:14.080
replaced their cashier using AI, so and you know, we're

250
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:17.600
seeing that again happen more and more with various jobs.

251
00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:20.720
It's a technology that is not only growing, but it's

252
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.200
taking over, and people are going to have to start

253
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:25.559
getting into engineering so they can learn how to fix

254
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:28.120
AI in order to keep a job and make money.

255
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:29.759
Right now.

256
00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:36.039
With that said, this has of course grown curiosity not

257
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:41.600
only among the science fiction aspect of the possible feature

258
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:45.600
that we're gearing towards, but it also opens the door

259
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:49.720
to the supernatural and the parablemal because it helps us

260
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:54.759
to realize, or at least helps us to answer some

261
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.519
questions about the things that maybe seem a little spooky,

262
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:03.639
a little eerie, something along the lines of ghosts or

263
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:06.000
even en cryptids, because those are starting to help us

264
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:09.600
to kind of collect evidence. And so people are becoming

265
00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:14.639
more and more intrigued by the paragormal. Paramal investigations are

266
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:16.200
on the uprise. We had to see more and more

267
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:19.120
of these little shows or videos popping up on YouTube

268
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:25.639
along with the TV itself, you know, Travel Channel in particular.

269
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:30.840
And you know, I think that curiosity is good to

270
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:32.919
an extent. Obviously. I think it's very good that we

271
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:35.360
wouldn't be here if it wasn't good, right, we all

272
00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:39.159
started with curiosity ourselves, right, But I do think that

273
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:42.159
there are some people who are jumping into it too

274
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:45.480
quick too. They become so curious and get so deep

275
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.720
that they end up in some sort of trouble, spiritual trouble.

276
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:51.559
And I'm not saying, you know, something crazy like a

277
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:54.240
movie or something where like, oh they're you know, they

278
00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:56.600
got chained by the spirit. Now they're going to hell. Right,

279
00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:59.840
it's not Dragged Me a Hell type show. But people

280
00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:03.279
who of open doors, who didn't know how to open

281
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:05.039
them to begin with, then who don't know how to

282
00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:07.599
close them, who are just kind of being all willy

283
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:13.759
nilly because of the idea that the paranormal, though there's

284
00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:17.519
interest in it, is also kind of like we just

285
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:20.200
treat it haphazardly because it's no longer as scary as

286
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.960
it once was, because we have all these opportunities to

287
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:26.799
explore it. You google anything about the paranormal, and the

288
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:29.759
first thing that responds to Google is AI and it

289
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:32.680
tells you a little little you know, a little download

290
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:36.640
of what it thinks or claims ah the paranormal to be,

291
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:39.319
and it sends you on a little rabbit trail. And

292
00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:41.759
I think that's becoming because it's so easy for us

293
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.480
to do. There are people who just nose diving into

294
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.480
these things. And yeah, we've talked to a couple of

295
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:51.240
people this past year who struggled a bit with the

296
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:53.519
supernatural within their own homes.

297
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:56.920
Oh kay, I do have a story, but I'm relieve

298
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:01.000
before a little bit later because it has to do

299
00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:03.759
with AI and paranormal.

300
00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:05.079
Okay, don't forget.

301
00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:07.720
No, I won't forget because I'm looking at the line

302
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.720
that I want to bring it up at, So before

303
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.880
we get too much further on, just because that's not

304
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:17.079
what the episode is about.

305
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:19.240
We'll have to do another.

306
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:22.279
AI episode next year because it is evolving that fast.

307
00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:28.720
But this year we've got a best of Para Truth

308
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:33.039
and this is our selections. We didn't hear from you

309
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:36.640
guys on best selections, so we're hoping to get a

310
00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:39.480
little more engagement next year from you and we're going

311
00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:43.000
to talk to you about that later on. But first

312
00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:46.839
and foremost, and this was one of your tops, and

313
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:50.160
we chose the same one for the second one, so

314
00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:51.240
that was really interesting.

315
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:53.160
And Mike, I do want to say real quickly, none

316
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:55.799
of these are in any particular order. There's not work

317
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:57.720
matter right and next day this we just leave them

318
00:18:57.720 --> 00:18:58.119
in there.

319
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:03.519
We were just reviewing them and actually the okay to

320
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:06.599
that when we get to it. But so the first

321
00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:11.079
one was The Truth about Trauma with Lisa Collins. Loved

322
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:13.319
talking to Lisa Collins because not only did she talk

323
00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:20.240
about trauma but also intertwined it into how it pertains

324
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:22.319
to the paranormal.

325
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:24.960
Right on per This is one of the deep episodes

326
00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:27.240
that I was talking about at the beginning of the show,

327
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:30.039
one of those things we weren't quite ready for despite

328
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:32.799
knowing what the book was about. But it was one

329
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:36.599
of those refreshing type of moments and just conversations that

330
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:39.119
we had that kind of left us, not with more

331
00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:43.519
questions like the paranormal usually does, but with a refreshing

332
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:46.920
answers and a new outlook on life moving forward.

333
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:50.799
All right, So we've got two clips for you. I'm

334
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:53.880
gonna play them and we can kind of go over

335
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:56.319
them a little bit or what our thoughts were when

336
00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:01.680
we did them. You've kind of touched on it a

337
00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:03.880
little bit, but in your own words, why is it

338
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:06.480
important to normalize conversations about trauma?

339
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:10.359
I think right now, especially right now, that we all

340
00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:13.519
need to like center and ground and know who we are,

341
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:17.640
and part of who we're not is whatever trauma we've

342
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:22.519
experienced either generationally in our community, and I think right

343
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:27.599
now we're really spinning and thinking that we are that right.

344
00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:33.200
I would love if we could as a people just

345
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:38.039
put some of these backpacks down and lean in together.

346
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:41.279
All right.

347
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:43.759
So that was the first one. What were your thoughts

348
00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:53.880
on normalizing trauma? You're muted, sorry, had a coffee for that.

349
00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:57.279
I think that's one of the most important things that

350
00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:00.200
it comes to trauma, is trying to normalize it. Thing

351
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.960
we need to do is accept it within ourselves, you know,

352
00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:06.039
She'll go in to talk a little bit on this

353
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:10.799
next clip too, about how we need to don't think

354
00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:13.799
of like normalizing trauma by talking to other people about

355
00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:16.279
it and trying to share your trauma with them, but

356
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:20.400
to accept it yourself, to accept it internally because it

357
00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:25.440
helps you to feel middle east and move on. And

358
00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:27.519
that's something I think a lot of us don't, myself included,

359
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:29.640
I struggle to let oh some traumas right.

360
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:32.559
And one thing that I didn't find one clip I

361
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:35.279
didn't add here also is that she does talk about

362
00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:37.279
trauma like on a scale of one to ten and

363
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:42.319
what is considered trauma, and it really is, no, there's

364
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:44.240
no threshold for trauma. It can be as big or

365
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:47.720
small as it needs to be. You know, I think

366
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:51.000
a lot of people think or have this misillusion that

367
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:54.319
trauma must be something that's horrible, right, it's something that

368
00:21:54.680 --> 00:21:57.920
strikes you like a lighting mote and it just sticks

369
00:21:57.920 --> 00:21:59.680
you through the rest of your life, and something like

370
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.920
you know, a death in the family, divorce, something like abuse,

371
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:06.960
things like that. But it could be as simple as

372
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:09.279
a disagreement. It could be as simple as someone calling

373
00:22:09.319 --> 00:22:12.319
you a name when you were a kid. It could

374
00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:14.359
be not handing. You know, as a child, you're not

375
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:16.960
getting an ice cream cone that your sister got. Its

376
00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:19.359
little thing is that can actually stick with you and

377
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:23.599
grow into a much larger trauma that you kind of

378
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:25.359
hang on to it and it branches out. You know,

379
00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:27.839
the things stands in one little ball, but they branch

380
00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:30.039
out into other little systems and next thing you know,

381
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:31.440
it's a bit of a problem.

382
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:36.880
Yeah, all right, here's the next one from Lisa Colins.

383
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:41.039
You're going over to mom, dad or grandma and saying, hey,

384
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:44.720
you remember that we did this thing, me acknowledging the

385
00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:49.359
truth and me healing it within myself, and I just

386
00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:53.559
want to pull the blinds down of unfortunate experiences or

387
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:58.319
things that I did not and me being honest with

388
00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:02.279
myself and so saying okay, and me being honest with

389
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:05.640
myself for you the reader, so that you can say

390
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:07.720
it's okay to say this stuff happened.

391
00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:10.559
It's just about healing it for yourself and moving on.

392
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:20.559
So that one is very impactful because it's basically saying

393
00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:23.319
you need to let the stuff go for trauma to

394
00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:28.880
be so you can basically forgive people. Is basically what

395
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:32.400
I was getting from it. And letting that trauma go

396
00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:34.640
so you don't have to hold on to it anymore.

397
00:23:35.400 --> 00:23:37.960
Yeah, I think it's a combination of forgiving people. Well,

398
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:42.240
it's also i think primarily forgiving yourself, which allows you to forget.

399
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:42.559
Right.

400
00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:46.319
It's funny because as she was talking there, when you

401
00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:49.359
play that clip, I'm over here nodding to what she's saying,

402
00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:51.799
and I see in the clip that I'm nodding as

403
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:56.359
you're talking about it. It's still the SKA reaction. But

404
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:01.000
you know, Lisa College, she's yes, poor found moments on

405
00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:04.720
this episode and we had some profound discussions. And one

406
00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:07.279
of the things that I really loved about this particular

407
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:10.279
book is that she wasn't afraid to share her trauma

408
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:13.519
with the reader. Right, But she's saying, that's not something

409
00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:16.200
you need to do as a person who's just struggling

410
00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:18.640
the trauma. You don't have to share it with others.

411
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:21.599
You can keep it to yourself or find a close

412
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:24.440
you know, someone close to you, or even a therapist

413
00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:26.799
who you can maybe talk to in private and secretly,

414
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:31.279
who will keep those things tucked away just as you have.

415
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:35.880
But I think that's something that's pretty pretty amazing about

416
00:24:35.880 --> 00:24:37.960
her and her book, and it's one of those books

417
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:40.559
that I still think to this day. And this was

418
00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:42.720
that long ago that we talked to her several months

419
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:46.960
at least. But if if you're interested in learning more

420
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:50.279
about trauma and how to heal from it, this book

421
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:53.519
in particular is fantastic. And we can also just put

422
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:56.960
a link here a little later for you guys to

423
00:24:56.960 --> 00:24:58.000
just check out.

424
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:01.720
Yeah, I'll try and link all the videos to this

425
00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:05.559
video in YouTube or it'll be in the show notes

426
00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:09.720
for the audio version. All right, So next one, and

427
00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:11.880
I was so glad you chose this one because I

428
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:15.359
loved talking to her. This was Sacred Soaks Unlocking the

429
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.599
Power of Ritual Baths with Shonda Parkinson, which we will

430
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:21.839
actually be getting on again next week, so make sure

431
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:24.680
you're saying tune for that. But here is the clip,

432
00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:28.279
and it kind of ties to trauma.

433
00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:34.599
He deals with emotion is easily, you know, and so

434
00:25:35.319 --> 00:25:40.440
really providing yourself that space and saying, okay, for fifteen minutes,

435
00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:43.279
I'm going to go in. If I have just like

436
00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:46.640
one release point or if I give myself that space

437
00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:50.039
just to touch that grief, let myself think about it,

438
00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:54.640
let myself presence it. It's getting present in that grief space.

439
00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:57.359
Then I can have a moment to release and the

440
00:25:57.400 --> 00:25:59.680
water is going to help, the tools are going to

441
00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:03.279
help release it for the moment that I'm in. You know,

442
00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:05.440
grief is a journey. It's a process. It's not like

443
00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:08.400
it's a one and done. That isn't how healing works.

444
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:09.759
But we can.

445
00:26:09.640 --> 00:26:13.799
Give ourselves that space intentionally to deal with grief. Then

446
00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:16.559
when we're living our lives, if we don't want to

447
00:26:16.599 --> 00:26:18.640
go there, we don't want to turn towards it, we

448
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:21.039
don't want to deal with it on a regular basis,

449
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:24.680
we don't want you know, we want to preserve that

450
00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:29.279
time just for going into a grief space that can

451
00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:33.119
be really super effective and super cleansing.

452
00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:37.240
And it's really just building a safe space for you

453
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:41.160
to do that, someplace you can be comfortable, totally safe space.

454
00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:49.400
So the one part about that episode was that was

455
00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:52.960
all of it was good, but Eric kept going on

456
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:55.640
and on with different questions, and he could tell I

457
00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:58.839
was getting irritated, and he's trying like, Okay, okay, you

458
00:26:58.839 --> 00:26:59.319
could go.

459
00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:01.599
Now, yeah, we needn't you know how it is on

460
00:27:01.640 --> 00:27:04.640
this show, everybody like I get a little hyper and excited,

461
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:08.200
and I just keep keep on going. But I just

462
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:09.920
don't want to I don't want to lose, you know,

463
00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:12.160
the opportunity to ask these questions, because it alway feels

464
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:13.480
weird to need the backtrack later.

465
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:16.799
No, I and I totally get that. We just got

466
00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:19.680
to come up with the system to be like one.

467
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:26.720
Okay, shock collars. Yeah, that that travel from North Dakotta, Ohio. Look,

468
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:28.039
we collars.

469
00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:29.640
Places in an area that's really gonna hurt.

470
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:30.319
Right.

471
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:35.279
Oh wait, hold on, Matt.

472
00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:38.880
But the one thing I wanted to say about this was,

473
00:27:39.160 --> 00:27:42.480
you know it it kind of coincided with the trauma.

474
00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:48.039
But she's talking about grief and using ritualistic baths to

475
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:51.960
do that, which is I mentioned on the episode. In

476
00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:55.599
order to meditate, I have to to do a bath

477
00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:57.799
with sea salt. Now I can't just sit on the

478
00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:00.319
ground and meditate anymore, just because my mind's going hundred

479
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:01.680
miles a minute.

480
00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:02.599
Mm hm.

481
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:03.680
No.

482
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:06.720
I think the fact that she brings up grief again,

483
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:09.119
as you say, it's a tie into this idea of trauma,

484
00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:12.680
because grief is traumatic. I mean, there are a lot

485
00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:14.839
of things that people have gone through this year, myself

486
00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:18.279
included with the loss of my cat in particular, that

487
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:22.599
been that was almost effective, and my dog, yeah, with

488
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:25.680
your dog, and had a couple other pets pass away

489
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:29.880
as well as our cousin. You know. So it was

490
00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:33.200
a rough year and there are things about grief that

491
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:35.839
still creep up. They still they still haunt us, they

492
00:28:35.880 --> 00:28:37.759
still taunt us, and I'm sure it's the same for

493
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:41.440
the rest of you too who are listening. But the

494
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:46.799
one thing that you know she brought up again is

495
00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:51.720
this idea of ritual cleansing or ritual bathing. And it

496
00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:55.319
doesn't always have to be done in a bath. It

497
00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:58.200
could be done in a pool and an ocean, under

498
00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:02.880
a water faucet, in a sprinkler. You can even just

499
00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:06.039
imagine drenching yourself in water. Doesn't even have to be

500
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:10.359
physical water. The simple idea is that you are washing yourself.

501
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:14.480
You're cleansing yourself through that wash. And the other thing

502
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:17.200
that you mentionederior like fifteen minutes. It could be as

503
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:20.839
short as five minutes, it could be thirty seconds, whatever

504
00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:23.680
you need in that moment. It doesn't have to be much,

505
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:27.240
but it's a good start and as you build up,

506
00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:29.559
you know you might be able to add your own things.

507
00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:32.680
You know, your own herbs, or your own various salts,

508
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:36.359
whatever you want, candles, et cetera. To help make that

509
00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:41.119
space more personable, more private, and a little more enjoyable

510
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:46.839
for you. In terms of releasing that, creefuse emotions absolutely

511
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:50.960
all right to save us on some time because we're

512
00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:54.400
already halfway through the show already because we got stuck

513
00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:55.279
on AI.

514
00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:59.759
I'm going to mention them play the clips. If we

515
00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:01.720
have any final thoughts at the end of the show,

516
00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:05.759
we'll definitely get back to them. But the next one

517
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:09.079
was one that I did by myself. Eric was on

518
00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:14.680
set somewhere and I had Brian Byers on and he

519
00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:20.279
had two comments about being advice for new paranormal investigators

520
00:30:20.319 --> 00:30:21.400
and about being psychic.

521
00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:22.000
So here we go.

522
00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:29.319
For those that want to pursue doing like paranormal investigations,

523
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:32.359
what's the best piece of advice you could give them?

524
00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:35.640
So that's a really good question. The beginning, I always

525
00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:40.079
was about protecting myself, and I did it differently than

526
00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:41.839
a lot of people. A lot of people used like

527
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:45.000
came out of smudging and stuff like that. Its help

528
00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:47.400
you feel like you're being protected, so it puts you

529
00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:51.279
in that frame of mind. So I say protection in

530
00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:55.000
any location, and it's not because something's going to attach

531
00:30:55.079 --> 00:31:00.640
itself to you. It's that your dealer with a lot.

532
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:03.559
On the other side. There's not just human spirits, okay.

533
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:07.559
And when I say that, they're different than we are,

534
00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:13.160
and they're not necessarily pleasant, and they like to mess

535
00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:15.319
with you on purpose. And the idea is they're trying

536
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:18.559
to get into your head here a little bit, and

537
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:20.440
they can bring you down from the inside.

538
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:24.440
Holy craps. Stop.

539
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:28.079
I just remember. I didn't understand, but it was the

540
00:31:28.079 --> 00:31:32.240
word that came through was was the night O. J.

541
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:34.960
Simpson died or the day O. J. Simpson died. The

542
00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:37.960
seance was over and we closed it out. We looked

543
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:40.400
up all the information and we found out the news

544
00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:44.200
they had had died. They're like, holy crap. So he

545
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:48.960
died on that same day and then wrote all this stuff,

546
00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:51.559
so you know, it was the last two digits of

547
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:53.839
his Uh. I never forget what it was, but we

548
00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:57.079
were like, there's just too much weirdness there. So when

549
00:31:57.079 --> 00:31:59.440
we went on TikTok and we were I follow a

550
00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:02.039
bunch of other mediums, they were posting the same thing.

551
00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:05.960
OJ came through and said he can't see, and I'm like,

552
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:07.839
that's what I got.

553
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:08.200
That's what we all.

554
00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:10.079
We were all getting the same thing. It was a

555
00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:13.839
really wild kiktok makes it easy to see in real

556
00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:15.839
time what everyone else is yo.

557
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:21.160
So those were two interesting ones.

558
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:25.079
The next fun well, hold on before you go start.

559
00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:28.599
We got plenty of downe here. But one thing that

560
00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:30.480
I do want to mention here is he talks about

561
00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:34.640
protection and in the same light we talked about grounding too.

562
00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:37.799
One thing that I noticed over the years is a

563
00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:39.200
lot of We've had a lot of people talk to

564
00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:42.599
us a lot of meetings, especially so they know the

565
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:46.279
spirits they're talking to, right, And we've always questioned that, like,

566
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:48.279
how do you know it's a bit spirit. I don't

567
00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:52.000
even know it's human spirit. And it's crazy because despite

568
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:53.759
all the people who said they know, they know, they know,

569
00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:56.880
we've seen in the last two years more and more

570
00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:01.480
psychics step forward claiming that you don't always know until

571
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:04.000
you have to protect yourself. You have to round yourself

572
00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:07.839
because there are other things lurking in the shadows. Aside

573
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:10.799
from the spirit that you're communicating with, there are things

574
00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:12.599
that are attached to human spirits. There are things that

575
00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:16.759
kind of travel in the dark spaces of the voids,

576
00:33:18.319 --> 00:33:20.440
and it's something that we always need to be aware of,

577
00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:26.000
especially when we're tracking that type of atmosphere with psychic abilities.

578
00:33:27.359 --> 00:33:27.759
For sure.

579
00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:32.759
This next one was actually a throwback Thursday clip that

580
00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:39.039
was an episode we does Paratruth Radio aliens and future humans,

581
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:41.960
but it was a significant clip. So I'll go ahead

582
00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:44.240
and play this for you because we didn't actually re

583
00:33:44.359 --> 00:33:46.200
air this one yet. I don't believe.

584
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:51.559
This theory was based on some speculation that if we

585
00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:58.079
were to believe Earth and colonize on Mars, then over

586
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:02.680
time we would through these bursts of microevolution in which

587
00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:06.440
our skin tones would change, our bone mass would change,

588
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:12.360
our eyes would even change, becoming larger to let in

589
00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:16.320
more light, for example. And so if that's the case,

590
00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:19.400
in these aliens are future versions of us, they would

591
00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:24.400
have had thousands, if not millions of years of evolutionary progress,

592
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:27.199
both in their bodies and in their technology, which would

593
00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:29.000
allow them to come back and visit us. And so

594
00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:31.639
we would technically be living in the past, even though

595
00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:34.639
we think it's the present, it's the past of what

596
00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:40.679
is to come for us, which is our descendants. Anything

597
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:43.639
with time travel space chavel blows my mind every time

598
00:34:44.679 --> 00:34:46.719
it's being in the past, but yeah, also being in

599
00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:47.559
the present.

600
00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:51.920
What and also you know that kind of ties in.

601
00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:54.360
We've done an episode on US two of humans being

602
00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:58.519
from Mars where we would have evolved from the time

603
00:34:58.519 --> 00:35:02.000
we left Mars till here, you know, the opposite way.

604
00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:05.880
Right, whichever aliens is where I got that information from

605
00:35:05.880 --> 00:35:11.159
two when we did that initial episode on humans on Mars,

606
00:35:11.559 --> 00:35:13.320
And it's more so again it was more of a

607
00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:19.239
scientific aspect to aliens that exists. Instead of them being

608
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:25.079
a complete different species, they're potentially evolutionary successor to ourselves.

609
00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:27.679
So there's still very much human. The DNA is still

610
00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:30.760
human to you know, done in its fine as molecules,

611
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:35.000
but they're different because of these basics that they lived

612
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:36.440
in basically.

613
00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:40.800
Right right, all right? This next one was from the

614
00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:43.599
most common questions about the paranormal, and we had our

615
00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:46.519
friend Catward on This was actually a more recent one,

616
00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:48.679
but it was a good one. So here we go.

617
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:53.880
Well, it's funny that you would have to keep plansing, right,

618
00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:58.679
because actually the Bible also touches on that Jesus actually

619
00:35:58.719 --> 00:36:03.480
says in twelve three. When in a pure spirit comes

620
00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:06.159
out of a person, it goes through arid spaces or

621
00:36:06.199 --> 00:36:09.480
places seeking rest and does not find it, then it says,

622
00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:11.599
I'll return to the house I left, and when it

623
00:36:11.719 --> 00:36:15.119
rives and finds it unoccupied, swept clean and put in order.

624
00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:17.880
So then it goes and finds seven more spirits moblica

625
00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:22.199
than itself and resides there again. And the idea here is, yes,

626
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:25.599
you want to keep that space constantly clean, but it's

627
00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:27.480
important if you don't want the spirit to come back,

628
00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:31.880
that you fill that space with something good. And of

629
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:35.079
course biblically we're talking about with the Holy Spirit, right,

630
00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:38.199
you want to fill it with God. And you know,

631
00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:39.800
I know we talk to a lot of people who

632
00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:43.719
gone through something similar and they fill their space with

633
00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:47.639
positive energy light. They try to remove anything that can

634
00:36:47.719 --> 00:36:51.440
be negative in their life, whether it's music or movies

635
00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:55.760
or individuals. So it's very important that if a spirit

636
00:36:55.840 --> 00:36:57.639
keeps coming back, you need to take a moment and

637
00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:00.480
check to see what you're filling that empty, swept up

638
00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:03.960
space with, because if it's with nothing, that spirit will

639
00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:07.159
continuously come back, find it clean and find a better

640
00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:11.559
place to rets and.

641
00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:14.280
We've talked about that a lot over the past years,

642
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:20.519
but I can't remember exactly what Kat said where it

643
00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:27.199
prompted that, but it still kind of holds true, like

644
00:37:27.519 --> 00:37:32.119
whether you're coming from a Christian perspective or from main's

645
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:38.239
mainstream perspective. Sorry, something that I learned this year talking

646
00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:41.440
to JJ Rose is if you're trying to cleanse a

647
00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:45.559
house with saging it, let's say, or using some type

648
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:51.880
of herb smoke to cleanse the area. I don't remember

649
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:55.679
anybody ever telling us this, Maybe I'm just forgetting, but

650
00:37:55.880 --> 00:38:00.719
she said, open the windows. If you're not open the windows,

651
00:38:01.079 --> 00:38:06.400
the spirits have nowhere to go. You basically just pushed

652
00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:09.519
them away from you for the time being, and they

653
00:38:09.559 --> 00:38:12.280
didn't go anywhere. They were still there, so you didn't

654
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:13.159
cleanse the house.

655
00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:16.320
Yeah, I don't know, Like, I don't know if I

656
00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:21.320
fully agree with that, but you know, regardless, I think

657
00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:24.480
the main point here was that there have been individuals

658
00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:28.920
throughout history, recent history in particular, who have tried to

659
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:30.880
cleanse their house and got rid of a spirit for

660
00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:33.639
a short while and only to find it comes back

661
00:38:33.719 --> 00:38:36.199
stronger at some point and in their future and most

662
00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:39.199
times ninety nine percent of those times is because they

663
00:38:39.199 --> 00:38:41.920
don't feel that void, they just leave it empty. And

664
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:44.159
so that spirit always been a fight to come back.

665
00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:48.360
And that's the main point on my part here, and

666
00:38:48.400 --> 00:38:50.519
that's I think that's what the conversation was with Kat

667
00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:53.159
and why I brought that up. It's important that we

668
00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:57.519
fill our spaces when doing or cleansing, because otherwise it's

669
00:38:57.639 --> 00:38:59.320
just an open empty space.

670
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:01.239
Right.

671
00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:05.239
All right. This next clip or two clips, and these

672
00:39:05.239 --> 00:39:08.559
are the last two clips that we have, was Margaret

673
00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:11.599
and Limbo Holy Guides how to Connect with Them. That

674
00:39:11.719 --> 00:39:15.719
was the name of the episode. The book was about

675
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:19.079
the saints and archangels and how to connect with those

676
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:22.559
two to help your daily life. But we'll play these

677
00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:23.119
real quick.

678
00:39:23.159 --> 00:39:28.360
Here. Does my own belief system doesn't allow for that?

679
00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:35.000
It's like not sit the say not today.

680
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:39.639
Well, I've already heard that phrase.

681
00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:41.239
It's like I love that.

682
00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:48.760
Well, I think also like be going off of that

683
00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:53.400
belief system. But well, just your own personal beliefs, your faith. Uh,

684
00:39:54.239 --> 00:39:56.400
it's actually scripturally based, you know.

685
00:39:56.519 --> 00:39:59.199
The Lord says that when we pray about something, we

686
00:39:59.199 --> 00:40:02.960
should believe we've already received it. Uh, And so believing

687
00:40:03.519 --> 00:40:06.880
that like for example, we're surrounded by a bright light

688
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:10.039
that protects us from negative energies or believing that negative

689
00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:14.000
energy can't influence or walk into our territory because of

690
00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:16.320
the spirits that are with us or the Holy Spirit.

691
00:40:17.719 --> 00:40:19.840
And I think a lot of people they have this

692
00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:21.079
idea like if you just.

693
00:40:23.719 --> 00:40:25.679
And sorry, I cut you off.

694
00:40:27.159 --> 00:40:28.199
Now I'm offensivespense.

695
00:40:28.760 --> 00:40:31.920
Remember, well you have to go back and let's the

696
00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:34.360
or listen to the episode. Now, all right, here's the

697
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:35.280
second clip here.

698
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:39.599
Now for people, let's just say, who are just starting

699
00:40:40.119 --> 00:40:44.199
with wanting to reach out to our chantrosource saints, but

700
00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:46.360
they don't really know how to start, where to start

701
00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:48.559
or what particular angel to reach out to you. And

702
00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:51.679
let's just say they don't have your book to guide them.

703
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:54.119
How does one actually go about Is it just research

704
00:40:54.199 --> 00:40:58.119
or do they go ahead and like, uh, just ask

705
00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:02.360
anything to any one who's listening, or like, how would

706
00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:04.360
you guide them in that situation?

707
00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:09.840
So I wouldn't ask anything to anyone who has just

708
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:12.119
happened to maybe listening, because you don't know who you're

709
00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:12.760
calling out to.

710
00:41:13.599 --> 00:41:16.320
I would I would say potentially a little.

711
00:41:16.039 --> 00:41:20.880
Bit of research would help to or are looking toward

712
00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:25.960
to someone else who has the experience or knowledge or

713
00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:29.000
the connection with the divine that they could find, you know,

714
00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:32.960
with maybe a spiritual teacher who is authentic that might

715
00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:36.400
be able to guide them how to reach out.

716
00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:37.880
But the main and.

717
00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:42.559
The easiest way, I think is to decide, you know

718
00:41:42.639 --> 00:41:45.559
what I need help with and then state what it is.

719
00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:50.800
And I'm asking for only the highest and best energies

720
00:41:50.840 --> 00:41:54.239
to come and guide me on my journey. I ask

721
00:41:54.440 --> 00:41:59.079
for the highest level, and only goodness is allowed in

722
00:41:59.159 --> 00:42:02.679
my space. Only love is allowed on my space. Shine

723
00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:04.880
light on my path so I can see what I

724
00:42:04.920 --> 00:42:07.039
need to see or hear what I need to hear,

725
00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:11.719
know what I need to know, and reveal to me truths.

726
00:42:11.199 --> 00:42:12.840
And helped me to be a better person.

727
00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:14.599
And you know, like you kind of it's like you're

728
00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:17.320
just talking to a good friend, but you can't see them.

729
00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:21.599
They're not fair, you know, turned to us and that's

730
00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:23.599
how I would go about it personally.

731
00:42:26.119 --> 00:42:28.039
So the one thing I really loved about that is

732
00:42:28.320 --> 00:42:31.559
she kind of are like you mentioned earlier, kind of

733
00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:34.679
confirmed well, you can't really know what you can set

734
00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:40.239
the intention of this is what I want. As far

735
00:42:40.280 --> 00:42:44.960
as talking to spirits or angels and saints for that matter,

736
00:42:47.280 --> 00:42:52.039
and you mentioned it earlier. Do we really know what

737
00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:55.679
we're talking to here? And truthfully we don't. We know

738
00:42:55.760 --> 00:42:58.239
what we think it is, but we don't know for sure.

739
00:42:58.880 --> 00:43:01.239
That's testing her these little test as to what you

740
00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:04.000
would say if I said you just called to anything anybody.

741
00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:07.480
So so now you're testing the spirits.

742
00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:10.119
No no, it's tested. No no, no, no, I know

743
00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:14.760
it's in the Bible, test the spirits. I'm just wasn't

744
00:43:14.800 --> 00:43:18.239
testing her. But it's funny when we have these questions,

745
00:43:18.239 --> 00:43:20.679
because these are things we we we write up for

746
00:43:21.119 --> 00:43:25.119
primarily for for for you guys, listing like questions that

747
00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:27.559
you may have or sometimes it's questions that you guys

748
00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:29.880
do have, uh, And so we we always try to

749
00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:34.679
state them and sometimes the life of a better term

750
00:43:34.840 --> 00:43:40.840
in the most nuanced or low key, kind of simplistic way, right,

751
00:43:42.159 --> 00:43:44.440
because you want the answers want to know exactly what

752
00:43:44.480 --> 00:43:46.400
the answer is. And if we beat around the bush

753
00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:49.400
that we listened on some of those important details that

754
00:43:49.480 --> 00:43:54.920
I think are simply needed, especially within this particular environment

755
00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:58.079
that we all kind of live in with paranormal Right.

756
00:43:59.679 --> 00:44:02.920
So the last two are honorable mentions here just because

757
00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:06.800
we really did love them, we just didn't have have

758
00:44:06.920 --> 00:44:10.679
time to get clips for them. And that was the

759
00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:14.440
giving UFO News with Christina Gomez. She's got a great

760
00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:17.360
show on YouTube, to make sure you check her out.

761
00:44:17.440 --> 00:44:21.719
And that was very close to the time that the

762
00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:25.920
New Jersey drones had kind of what the government called,

763
00:44:26.519 --> 00:44:29.079
you know, they was debunked. You know, it was I

764
00:44:29.119 --> 00:44:34.440
forget what they were saying it was according to but

765
00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:37.400
it was good to get her perspective on that because

766
00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:42.639
she is literally reporting on this. I don't know if

767
00:44:42.679 --> 00:44:46.960
it's daily or weekly, but awesome guest.

768
00:44:47.840 --> 00:44:47.960
Uh.

769
00:44:48.239 --> 00:44:51.360
The other one that we had was The Bad Vibes

770
00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:56.360
Field Guide with Devin Hunter and m Bellinger and I

771
00:44:56.400 --> 00:44:59.599
think I can speak for Eric and you can cut

772
00:44:59.599 --> 00:45:03.480
me off. I'm wrong. But m Beallenger was one that

773
00:45:03.519 --> 00:45:07.400
we've been wanting on for years. I think literally when

774
00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:13.679
we started with Nightstalks that we wanted her on. And

775
00:45:13.719 --> 00:45:17.039
we wanted her on because she she had Donne documentaries

776
00:45:17.079 --> 00:45:20.280
about being a psychic vampire and the difference between you know,

777
00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:24.440
the the vampire we don't war and what a psychic

778
00:45:24.559 --> 00:45:27.360
vampire is. But to get her on to talk about

779
00:45:27.360 --> 00:45:30.960
the Bad Vibes Field Guide, which she was actually only

780
00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:34.880
kind of the forward for that book, but it was

781
00:45:34.920 --> 00:45:37.079
awesome to talk to both Devin and her together.

782
00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:40.119
Yeah, for sure, that definitely one of the big holets

783
00:45:40.159 --> 00:45:43.960
for for us and definitely a something to check off

784
00:45:43.960 --> 00:45:47.039
the Bucalist getting her in a conversation on the show.

785
00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:53.719
Right. So question for you, now, Okay, are there any

786
00:45:53.920 --> 00:45:58.360
I put stories but topics that kind of crossed from

787
00:45:58.400 --> 00:46:00.800
fringe into mainstream this year for us?

788
00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:07.360
From fringe into mainstream, mean aside from the whole I mean,

789
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:09.000
we were to talk about the AI, so I'm gonna

790
00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:12.280
go into that, but because that's you know, obviously we're

791
00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:17.000
down with Terminator and Judgment Day type stuff here, but

792
00:46:17.280 --> 00:46:19.199
you know, there's I mean, there were quite a few

793
00:46:19.199 --> 00:46:22.360
things over all that I think kind of jumped from

794
00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:24.840
the fringe to the mainstream. And the biggest thing again

795
00:46:24.960 --> 00:46:28.000
is going to comp right back to the UFOs. You know,

796
00:46:28.039 --> 00:46:30.079
these are things that we've always speculated on, things that

797
00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:32.519
you see, but never had clear evidence of, and now

798
00:46:32.559 --> 00:46:38.599
we're getting full on video by government officials that are

799
00:46:39.320 --> 00:46:41.960
straight up claiming that, yes, these are things that we

800
00:46:42.000 --> 00:46:44.159
do not understand and we don't know what they are,

801
00:46:43.840 --> 00:46:45.840
and they're not us territory, and that's wherever you know,

802
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:49.039
they are not human. So I think that is very

803
00:46:49.559 --> 00:46:52.519
intriguing that happened just I mean the last couple of years,

804
00:46:52.519 --> 00:46:55.159
but this year it particular, was really big on it,

805
00:46:56.159 --> 00:46:57.840
so that I think that was the biggest thing that

806
00:46:57.920 --> 00:47:00.000
kind of made that final jump, And I think it's

807
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:03.760
only a matter of time before we do finally get

808
00:47:03.840 --> 00:47:08.039
that official like hey, we're here type of thing, right,

809
00:47:09.159 --> 00:47:11.280
and then people get started to get adopted and we

810
00:47:11.320 --> 00:47:13.800
have these lot eatings coming on and the people shooting

811
00:47:13.880 --> 00:47:21.559
things and blowing stuff up. Right, Sorry, I started to

812
00:47:21.559 --> 00:47:25.639
think about Mars attacks, but yeah, you know, I think

813
00:47:25.639 --> 00:47:28.559
that was the biggest thing for sure. The second that

814
00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:34.280
kind of started to move was the idea of what's

815
00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:39.800
it called the loboo dolls. Dolls you know, we talked

816
00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:44.159
about talked about the god that it's supposedly based off of,

817
00:47:44.840 --> 00:47:46.599
and that is very fringe and it's something that we

818
00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:50.119
don't have any actual true evidence of, a physical evidence of.

819
00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:55.159
We know his story through history books, through bio just texts. Uh.

820
00:47:55.239 --> 00:47:59.840
And then the fact that it's making this interesting kind

821
00:47:59.840 --> 00:48:03.199
of do as a toy and I'm not saying that

822
00:48:03.239 --> 00:48:08.599
this toy is based off you know, this particular demon,

823
00:48:08.920 --> 00:48:12.679
but the similarities are pretty close. So you know, I think, guys,

824
00:48:12.920 --> 00:48:15.880
the second thing that really kind of jumped from fringe

825
00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:18.599
to reality for us this year the possibility that there

826
00:48:18.639 --> 00:48:20.840
is something working on the other side to get its

827
00:48:21.079 --> 00:48:24.559
image shown and maybe even warships.

828
00:48:25.199 --> 00:48:29.800
Yeah, and I was gonna bring up what I was

829
00:48:29.800 --> 00:48:32.719
talking about earlier at this particular thing, but I'm actually

830
00:48:32.760 --> 00:48:35.039
gonna bring it up in just a few minutes here,

831
00:48:36.079 --> 00:48:41.920
but dispense. But yeah, I think the biggest thing for

832
00:48:42.599 --> 00:48:48.639
I think was that that UFO drone thing that happened

833
00:48:48.639 --> 00:48:50.840
at the end of last year, going into this year

834
00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:58.960
and getting the government's explanation and really thinking back to

835
00:48:59.360 --> 00:49:03.880
the Roswell incident and where it was kind of a

836
00:49:03.920 --> 00:49:08.039
backpedal thing then to where oh it's a UFI, No,

837
00:49:08.519 --> 00:49:12.599
it's a weather blue right, So that's I think that's

838
00:49:12.639 --> 00:49:14.480
where it kind of crossed over.

839
00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:18.039
For me, different time, but same story. It's all right over.

840
00:49:23.400 --> 00:49:26.480
So some of the stuff that we've talked about that

841
00:49:27.679 --> 00:49:32.840
is maybe repeating or overlapping entity symbols, locations. Was there

842
00:49:32.880 --> 00:49:35.559
anything that we covered this year or that you've noticed

843
00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:39.599
in mainstream media when it comes to the paranormal that

844
00:49:39.840 --> 00:49:40.840
kind of overlapped.

845
00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:47.760
Nothing that really overlapped all that much. There. There were

846
00:49:47.840 --> 00:49:52.800
probably a couple of locations that were repeated, primarily in

847
00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:59.239
terms of hauntings and investigations. Was the trying to render

848
00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:00.880
the name of the w one book. Actually it was

849
00:50:00.880 --> 00:50:03.199
a hund up of phase on Fox something Fox out

850
00:50:03.239 --> 00:50:08.199
Hunting on Fox Hollow. I think something like that with Richard, Yes,

851
00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:10.880
the person that had popped up actually a couple of

852
00:50:10.960 --> 00:50:14.000
times throughout the year that I had noticed not just

853
00:50:14.079 --> 00:50:16.719
with him and all show, but I've seen that.

854
00:50:16.599 --> 00:50:20.280
Particular story pop up elsewhere as well online, and I

855
00:50:20.280 --> 00:50:24.400
thought that was pretty intriguing in herself and pretty significant.

856
00:50:24.880 --> 00:50:29.039
Uh And aside from that, there wasn't too too much

857
00:50:29.119 --> 00:50:32.119
overall symbols. I can't really say there were many there,

858
00:50:33.480 --> 00:50:35.960
you know. There again, there's there's plenty of people starting

859
00:50:35.960 --> 00:50:42.199
to delve into various new practice new wage practices, and

860
00:50:42.360 --> 00:50:45.119
by new wage you could being old age right, depending

861
00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:47.679
on the practice. Uh. So, you know, we we we've

862
00:50:47.679 --> 00:50:51.199
seen some symbols like the the five pointed star kind

863
00:50:51.199 --> 00:50:55.239
of pop back up again quite a bit. Uh, you know,

864
00:50:55.320 --> 00:51:00.039
the Pentacle or the Pentagram, both versions upside down. I

865
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:03.159
haven't read it whatever, all of them. And then, of

866
00:51:03.159 --> 00:51:05.639
course we had some recurring thornes even with the Crucifix,

867
00:51:05.719 --> 00:51:09.079
the cross, the various ways that it was created and

868
00:51:09.199 --> 00:51:12.039
used throughout history that came up a few times on

869
00:51:12.079 --> 00:51:15.280
our show in terms of symbolism and how those symbols

870
00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:19.440
have been used over time, such as the mending of

871
00:51:20.039 --> 00:51:24.119
the original Son of God of Ireland and the Christian

872
00:51:24.199 --> 00:51:27.960
Crucifix to create the comfort Cross.

873
00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:31.639
Okay, now this one we've already kind of talked about,

874
00:51:31.840 --> 00:51:34.840
but I wanted to bring this up. You know, technology,

875
00:51:34.840 --> 00:51:39.840
AI and paranormal overlap. We have gone into great lengths

876
00:51:39.880 --> 00:51:42.639
at the beginning of the episode about AI. But something

877
00:51:42.639 --> 00:51:45.400
I did this year earlier this year, I don't remember

878
00:51:45.400 --> 00:51:47.559
if I told you this. I think I did, but

879
00:51:47.599 --> 00:51:52.440
maybe I didn't. I was literally having a full conversation

880
00:51:52.599 --> 00:51:56.840
with AI and I said, look, if I wanted to

881
00:51:57.119 --> 00:52:01.679
use AI as a tool for doing paranormal investigations, what

882
00:52:01.719 --> 00:52:04.559
would that look like. So we were having this conversation

883
00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:09.320
saying that it can analyze audio, you know, stuff like that,

884
00:52:09.440 --> 00:52:12.480
and but my thought was, well, why can't you do

885
00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:16.960
something like, instead of using a medium, instead of using

886
00:52:17.199 --> 00:52:20.840
a spirit box, what if you set the parameters to

887
00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:24.119
AI in an investigation and it could just be you

888
00:52:24.119 --> 00:52:27.079
don't even have to present it as evidence, just be like, look,

889
00:52:27.440 --> 00:52:31.920
I want you to listen after I do or say

890
00:52:31.960 --> 00:52:35.800
a question and see what comes up. And it said

891
00:52:36.360 --> 00:52:39.280
it basically said I would love to do this experiment

892
00:52:39.360 --> 00:52:43.880
with you. So I think in a sense, since we

893
00:52:43.920 --> 00:52:49.920
were talking about AIS tool, that maybe that is a

894
00:52:50.599 --> 00:52:56.719
very valual the very value value value. God, I haven't

895
00:52:56.760 --> 00:53:03.960
had that much strong valuable tool to have where I mean,

896
00:53:04.199 --> 00:53:06.760
if you want to have a medium in your team,

897
00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:13.280
that's fine, but use AI. Give the give the medium

898
00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:17.559
a break, give some of the other pieces of equipment

899
00:53:17.559 --> 00:53:21.239
of break and see what AI comes up with. And

900
00:53:21.280 --> 00:53:24.639
it again. You know, it's one of those things where

901
00:53:25.639 --> 00:53:29.480
AI might put a certain part of the team out

902
00:53:29.480 --> 00:53:36.079
of out of business because it's analyzing the audio for you.

903
00:53:36.119 --> 00:53:37.000
Any thoughts on that.

904
00:53:38.079 --> 00:53:41.079
I mean, nothing too crazy that I agree with you.

905
00:53:41.280 --> 00:53:43.400
I think it could definitely be utilized as a tool,

906
00:53:43.400 --> 00:53:45.119
but I think we still need to be very careful

907
00:53:45.199 --> 00:53:47.840
with using it. In not a sense that we shouldn't

908
00:53:47.840 --> 00:53:51.360
trust AI, but the more that we use some of

909
00:53:51.360 --> 00:53:54.639
these tools that we can't use the evidence, then the

910
00:53:54.679 --> 00:53:58.519
less evidence are actually gaining. Like it's one thing, especially

911
00:53:58.599 --> 00:54:01.920
our investigations, but for you personally, I think it's great

912
00:54:02.039 --> 00:54:04.320
because you can use that as evidence for yourself, but

913
00:54:04.360 --> 00:54:08.400
if it's for a client, you can't really produce or

914
00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:11.280
show that evidence to them. You can't really get it.

915
00:54:11.320 --> 00:54:13.639
And like this is what AI says, and take it

916
00:54:13.679 --> 00:54:17.400
as back right, So much like with.

917
00:54:17.159 --> 00:54:21.159
With the the sparate box, something we don't typically use

918
00:54:21.280 --> 00:54:26.800
to present evidence or as presented evidence, I think and

919
00:54:26.920 --> 00:54:29.639
keep our our tools.

920
00:54:31.159 --> 00:54:34.360
Use sparingly, but in an equal fashion as well.

921
00:54:35.079 --> 00:54:44.400
Right now, we both have a healthy skepticism when it

922
00:54:44.400 --> 00:54:49.440
comes to the paranormal. Is there anything we've learned in

923
00:54:49.480 --> 00:54:51.239
the past year using that?

924
00:54:54.920 --> 00:54:59.480
I think the big thing is that our skepticism prevents

925
00:54:59.559 --> 00:55:05.719
us from being gullible. You know, we we know several

926
00:55:05.760 --> 00:55:08.480
people at least where I met several people throughout the

927
00:55:08.559 --> 00:55:11.159
year that tend to be so gullible on some of

928
00:55:11.159 --> 00:55:14.840
these things that they just broadcast everything is fact, only

929
00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:19.960
it'll later be confused as to why that fact is

930
00:55:20.000 --> 00:55:23.679
then smashed with a truth. Right. What they think is

931
00:55:23.760 --> 00:55:28.000
factors with the truth and so I think skepticism has

932
00:55:28.000 --> 00:55:31.039
always played a very important part for us for our

933
00:55:31.079 --> 00:55:33.800
study of the paranormal, because it's one thing to be

934
00:55:33.880 --> 00:55:38.079
skeptic and say, oh I was wrong, this thing is real. Right,

935
00:55:38.480 --> 00:55:40.440
we're just saying, oh, no, I'm one hundred percent list

936
00:55:40.639 --> 00:55:43.519
is real, and then we go, no, we're wrong. Here's

937
00:55:43.519 --> 00:55:46.280
the evidence of prove it. So you know, if nothing

938
00:55:46.320 --> 00:55:50.760
else at least protects our pride at the very least,

939
00:55:50.800 --> 00:56:04.639
So for sure you're finally wrapping things up kind of

940
00:56:04.639 --> 00:56:09.000
here where we're being close to the end. Here is why, really,

941
00:56:09.000 --> 00:56:12.800
why is uncertainty a part of the journey?

942
00:56:14.519 --> 00:56:16.679
I think, well, I mean, I think the biggest thing

943
00:56:16.719 --> 00:56:19.760
for that is, you know, if you're not questioning stuff,

944
00:56:22.840 --> 00:56:29.480
then being in the paranormal is gonna be a very

945
00:56:29.519 --> 00:56:34.800
hard time for you because there's gonna be numerous times

946
00:56:35.119 --> 00:56:39.199
that you're uncertain that you heard something in an EVP.

947
00:56:40.639 --> 00:56:47.719
You know, you were uncertain what a picture was. But

948
00:56:48.159 --> 00:56:51.000
that's how you learn and grow as a paranormal investigator

949
00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:57.960
is learning how to debunk those things. The same thing

950
00:56:58.000 --> 00:57:02.000
goes for UFO sings, you know, stuff like that too,

951
00:57:02.280 --> 00:57:05.960
or like we mentioned earlier, the videos that have come

952
00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:08.599
out over the past year. In the past couple of years,

953
00:57:09.800 --> 00:57:11.679
there have been so many videos I've sent to you

954
00:57:11.880 --> 00:57:14.920
and you're like, yeah, no, you can see this or

955
00:57:14.960 --> 00:57:18.440
that where the normal person would not see it compared

956
00:57:18.480 --> 00:57:23.039
to somebody who's studied video as you have.

957
00:57:23.800 --> 00:57:26.239
Right, Yeah, No, I think on such dy is definitely

958
00:57:26.320 --> 00:57:32.039
important in the journey for any paranormal investigator, simply because

959
00:57:32.239 --> 00:57:35.599
it keeps you asking questions and to ask questions, you know,

960
00:57:36.199 --> 00:57:40.880
that's the whole point. We are scientists at heart, maybe

961
00:57:40.920 --> 00:57:44.000
not what the world things as scientists, but we are

962
00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:47.000
paras scientists, and it's fortunate to ask questions in order

963
00:57:47.039 --> 00:57:49.840
to find answers. With all we have our answers, then

964
00:57:49.880 --> 00:57:55.639
we learn nothing, so and better you know, to keep learning,

965
00:57:55.639 --> 00:57:57.400
then to look like a fool who thinks he knows

966
00:57:57.440 --> 00:58:08.440
everything and learns it, you know, not thing say, yeah, the.

967
00:58:08.320 --> 00:58:10.480
Only reason I laugh is because like some of the

968
00:58:10.519 --> 00:58:14.880
explanations you give, it's like it's very insightful, but we

969
00:58:14.960 --> 00:58:16.039
took a really long time.

970
00:58:18.280 --> 00:58:23.039
I don't yeh. That's the thing. That's what everybody concert for,

971
00:58:23.159 --> 00:58:29.239
right Nope. So one thing that we just want to

972
00:58:29.280 --> 00:58:33.360
do here is really invite everybody listening to the Parachieper

973
00:58:33.440 --> 00:58:36.519
community to help shape what's next for our show as

974
00:58:36.519 --> 00:58:39.679
you move into twenty twenty six, the new year. We

975
00:58:39.800 --> 00:58:44.000
have roughly fifty two new episodes on the block right

976
00:58:44.000 --> 00:58:46.960
over the next year, so there are plenty of spaces

977
00:58:47.000 --> 00:58:50.519
open that we have not lockdown. So if anybody has

978
00:58:50.599 --> 00:58:53.880
any ideas for guests or topics that they want to

979
00:58:53.920 --> 00:58:56.280
hear about on this show, please feel free to reach

980
00:58:56.320 --> 00:59:00.840
out to us. We email via the messenger on Facebook,

981
00:59:00.960 --> 00:59:03.079
or send us a comment on Facebook or YouTube, etc.

982
00:59:03.760 --> 00:59:06.159
We will see those and we'll probably get back to

983
00:59:06.239 --> 00:59:09.880
you in an hour or two in most cases. But

984
00:59:09.920 --> 00:59:13.760
you can also join a Paratruther community on Facebook. It's

985
00:59:13.920 --> 00:59:18.079
just Paratruther and you guys can kind of get in

986
00:59:18.159 --> 00:59:20.880
on the stories, on the conversations that each share and

987
00:59:20.920 --> 00:59:27.039
there everything is ext everything is that we put in

988
00:59:27.079 --> 00:59:31.880
there is exclusive TV individuals in that group, so we

989
00:59:31.960 --> 00:59:36.960
are sharing videos, conversations, stories that we don't share anywhere else.

990
00:59:37.000 --> 00:59:38.360
So if you want to be a part of that

991
00:59:38.400 --> 00:59:40.760
and learn more and just kind of communicate with us,

992
00:59:40.800 --> 00:59:43.239
hang out, you know, not just with us, with our

993
00:59:43.320 --> 00:59:47.639
other listeners and fans and show hosts. Definitely do that

994
00:59:48.000 --> 00:59:48.800
it's a good place to be.

995
00:59:49.960 --> 00:59:52.119
Absolutely, Like, one of the biggest things that we did

996
00:59:52.159 --> 00:59:58.000
that was not shared on our normal social medias that

997
00:59:58.039 --> 01:00:00.920
we did there was the lower cards for our Christmas episode.

998
01:00:01.320 --> 01:00:05.559
So we will start doing more exclusives for that and

999
01:00:06.480 --> 01:00:10.880
at some point maybe well we'll do a subscription thing too,

1000
01:00:10.920 --> 01:00:13.320
But right now we are offering it free to everybody,

1001
01:00:13.679 --> 01:00:16.639
and I really truly want to keep that free for everybody.

1002
01:00:16.679 --> 01:00:19.840
But at some point we do have to fund the show,

1003
01:00:20.119 --> 01:00:22.360
but we won't go there until we have to.

1004
01:00:22.599 --> 01:00:25.880
With us said, if you get in free, you stay

1005
01:00:25.920 --> 01:00:28.000
locked in free. Oh, we will not be charged on

1006
01:00:28.719 --> 01:00:31.920
if we do a subscription fee, you'll be one of

1007
01:00:31.960 --> 01:00:34.800
the few that don't have to pay subscription. So my

1008
01:00:34.880 --> 01:00:35.719
reason to join in.

1009
01:00:35.679 --> 01:00:39.239
Now absolutely so. I do want to give two quick

1010
01:00:39.239 --> 01:00:42.880
shout outs. One is to Catward, who listens to our

1011
01:00:42.920 --> 01:00:47.840
episodes all time comments on our YouTube videos. The other

1012
01:00:47.960 --> 01:00:51.679
is Heidi Goal. I hope I pronounced your last name right, Heidi.

1013
01:00:51.719 --> 01:00:55.880
I apologize if I didn't. Who's always sharing not just

1014
01:00:56.079 --> 01:01:00.000
our shows but all the shows for UPR and network,

1015
01:01:00.599 --> 01:01:06.199
And I really really want to make clear that we

1016
01:01:06.280 --> 01:01:09.440
love all of our listeners. But those two have gone

1017
01:01:09.599 --> 01:01:11.760
above and beyond. So if you want to hear a

1018
01:01:11.800 --> 01:01:14.639
shout out for you, make sure you're getting in on

1019
01:01:14.679 --> 01:01:19.639
the conversation. We're always doing polls. Make sure you're getting

1020
01:01:19.679 --> 01:01:25.800
into the either YouTube or the group where it's a

1021
01:01:25.840 --> 01:01:28.639
little bit easier to do a poll. Where we on

1022
01:01:28.760 --> 01:01:30.639
our other social media is it's a little more like

1023
01:01:30.679 --> 01:01:36.599
a comment, you know, comment on every episode so we

1024
01:01:36.719 --> 01:01:41.119
know what you liked didn't like, because we can't grow

1025
01:01:41.199 --> 01:01:44.039
as a show without those, and email us throughout the

1026
01:01:44.119 --> 01:01:47.719
year if you have ideas for episodes, if you have

1027
01:01:47.800 --> 01:01:49.880
comments and you don't want to put it on social media.

1028
01:01:51.039 --> 01:01:55.360
Paratruth Video gmail dot com. Yes, it's that Paratrue. You're

1029
01:01:55.400 --> 01:02:00.199
born because we rebranded and we had a solid email there.

1030
01:02:02.000 --> 01:02:06.519
Make sure you submit your own theories as well, because

1031
01:02:07.119 --> 01:02:08.920
we can talk to her blue in the face about

1032
01:02:08.960 --> 01:02:12.480
certain topics, but without the interaction from you guys, and

1033
01:02:12.840 --> 01:02:15.280
maybe even call us out if we had something wrong.

1034
01:02:15.360 --> 01:02:18.679
Please call us out, because we can't grow as hosts

1035
01:02:18.880 --> 01:02:26.000
until we have your interaction. We'll have you guys vote

1036
01:02:26.039 --> 01:02:28.559
on future topics as well. We've kind of done that

1037
01:02:28.599 --> 01:02:30.920
with poll once and maybe that's the best way to

1038
01:02:30.960 --> 01:02:34.559
do it and share your personal experiences. It can be

1039
01:02:34.639 --> 01:02:38.559
anonymous if you want us to share your name, even

1040
01:02:38.639 --> 01:02:40.920
if it's just your first name. If you just want

1041
01:02:40.960 --> 01:02:47.000
to give us a pseudonym, that's totally fine too. But

1042
01:02:47.119 --> 01:02:53.320
we really, really really love our listeners, and without our paratruthers,

1043
01:02:53.400 --> 01:02:56.360
this show does not work. Half of what we do

1044
01:02:56.679 --> 01:03:01.760
is to talk about that come from you, guys, So

1045
01:03:02.400 --> 01:03:06.159
reach out, let us know what you guys are wanting.

1046
01:03:07.480 --> 01:03:11.639
I think that with that being said, is there any

1047
01:03:11.679 --> 01:03:16.000
final thoughts or expectations for twenty twenty six?

1048
01:03:16.280 --> 01:03:18.920
Not just to keep moving being forward, just keep on,

1049
01:03:19.199 --> 01:03:23.480
you know, opening well carefully, opening doors and learning new shoes.

1050
01:03:25.840 --> 01:03:28.719
Let's not open that we already have done already.

1051
01:03:28.760 --> 01:03:32.119
Anyways, I think, I think, I think twenty twenty six

1052
01:03:32.199 --> 01:03:34.400
is gonna be a big year for the Paranormal and

1053
01:03:34.400 --> 01:03:36.760
we're gonna have a lot of great guests joining us.

1054
01:03:36.760 --> 01:03:40.199
We have some returning and we'll have some new faces

1055
01:03:40.199 --> 01:03:43.199
as well, so plenty to look forward to, plenty will learn,

1056
01:03:43.679 --> 01:03:46.000
and again we would love to get some of our

1057
01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:48.280
guests on the show too, or guy, sorry, some of

1058
01:03:48.280 --> 01:03:51.320
our listeners on the show as well. If now we

1059
01:03:51.400 --> 01:03:54.000
know you guys all have your own views and opinions

1060
01:03:54.079 --> 01:03:57.000
on the paranormal we'd love to hear them right here live.

1061
01:03:57.159 --> 01:03:59.960
So if that's something interested, again reach out to us.

1062
01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:02.280
But again, it's gonna be a great year, totally six

1063
01:04:02.559 --> 01:04:05.000
happy to everybody, and I hope it's a safe one

1064
01:04:05.000 --> 01:04:05.440
for you all.

1065
01:04:07.079 --> 01:04:09.280
Yeah, and I will piggy back off that if you

1066
01:04:09.360 --> 01:04:13.320
want to kind of voice your opinion and you don't

1067
01:04:13.320 --> 01:04:15.960
want to necessarily be on the show with us. If

1068
01:04:15.960 --> 01:04:18.440
you go to our website, there is a voicemail message

1069
01:04:18.679 --> 01:04:21.360
system on there as well. Leave us as voicemail, tell

1070
01:04:21.400 --> 01:04:25.079
us if it's okay to share it. If it's something personal,

1071
01:04:25.360 --> 01:04:28.159
please make sure you leave out names of people and

1072
01:04:28.599 --> 01:04:32.679
places and events unless you have specific authorization to do so.

1073
01:04:34.639 --> 01:04:38.519
But that's one of those things where it's like we

1074
01:04:38.519 --> 01:04:40.360
would love to have you on as a guest, of course,

1075
01:04:40.719 --> 01:04:43.840
but if it's uncomfortable for you, absolutely we can make

1076
01:04:43.880 --> 01:04:50.440
it work otherwise. And yeah, keep it safe this New year.

1077
01:04:51.360 --> 01:04:54.199
If you're drinking, please make sure you get a ride,

1078
01:04:55.880 --> 01:04:58.039
make sure you're with loved ones. This is one of

1079
01:04:58.119 --> 01:05:00.920
the most depressing times of the year for many people,

1080
01:05:01.440 --> 01:05:05.519
so definitely reach out to You can reach out to

1081
01:05:05.880 --> 01:05:07.800
people that are close to you reach out to us.

1082
01:05:08.239 --> 01:05:12.639
We would be glad to talk stuff through with you.

1083
01:05:15.159 --> 01:05:21.639
But yeah, normally I play all lags sign for copyright purposes.

1084
01:05:21.639 --> 01:05:26.559
I won't do it this year, but until next week

1085
01:05:26.880 --> 01:05:30.239
and next year, where you will find the same time,

1086
01:05:30.719 --> 01:05:34.400
same channel. My name is Justin and I'm Eric Peace
