Haunted Electronics and Spooky AI: Exploring the Paranormal Side of Technology

Are we are we are we going? Maybe.

Goddamn, Gill. You never, like, let us know.

Apparently, we're live. Welcome to episode 3 of Beer,

booze, Boogeymen. Yes. I'm excited. This is gonna be

awesome. Yeah. Nothing on the screen, but,

putting the call out there to the chat. How are you guys doing

this evening? Mhmm. I'm stellar. You're

stellar. Considering the last 3 weeks have been hell.

So I'm stellar. Oh, there we go. We are up.

Yes. It just popped up on me as well. Alright. Go

ahead and give us that intro again, Dee. Again,

episode 3, beer Boos mug bite, and I fucked that up big

time. We

are 100% Report, ready to go. We are crushing

it. We are because this is episode 3 of beer, booze,

and Boogeymen, and we are pretty pumped about this episode.

Right? It's gonna be spooky AI and haunted electronics,

miss Kristen's idea. Yes. Yes. It

was all a ploy just to get one

story of a haunted Furby or a Teddy

Ruxpin. So I'm hoping I got high hopes tonight. Somebody

is is gonna send 1 in or call in, because, yeah, I didn't I

didn't have one of those when I was a kid. What about you guys? I

never had a Furby. I had a Teddy Rumskin, I'm pretty

sure. I had a talking ALF doll. That was pretty rad.

Al oh, ALF. Oh. Yeah. ALF. The alien. I don't know if you remember what

he said. I don't remember. It was a

drawstring talking doll. So me.

Gil me.

I don't I don't know. It it's it's it's, everybody's fitting in

so natural here, but I I do believe we have an introduction that needs to

be made. Do we? What are you talking about? I don't think there's any new

faces in the crowd. Joey. We forgot about Joey. Joey. Welcome

Black. I was I got the guest spot for Richard.

Let's see. Not Joey is not in prison this time. So No. I am

not No. He put a guitar in the background. You guys. Look at that. I

do have a windy ston Cat. I have a window, so that's kinda nice.

Yes. Let's do an introduction. Let's let's have our

special very, very special guest Yes. Introduce himself.

What's up, everybody? My name's Innerscare.

I read scary stories on YouTube to help people fall asleep.

I'm really excited to be here. Really happy. This is definitely in my

wheelhouse, you know, listening to scary stories, telling scary

stories, you know, talking to people about their scary stories. That's one thing that I've

never done is really talk to people about their stories. So I'm really excited

about tonight. This is gonna be a Black, and look forward to just hanging

out with y'all. Yeah. We've really been looking forward to

this. Gotta tell you. Your show is awesome. I've just

been screaming it from the rooftops on my episodes. Everybody's

got to check out inner scare sleep. I personally am one

of one of those. I'm I'm your demographic. I love to fall asleep

into scary stories told in a melodic soothing voice.

That's my jam, ma'am. Thank you. Yeah. Oh, that

soothing Gil voice you guys got there. It is a a a

fabulous voice. Alright. Well, let's go

around the around the circle. You know the drill, guys. What are y'all

drinking?

Hello? Yo. I'll go first. Okay. Go for it. Voodoo Ranger.

Voodoo Ranger. Nice choice. It's a classic. It is a classic. It's terrible is

what it is. She Woah.

That's fired. Woah. Woah. That's brewed Nashville, my

friend. Somebody get Keemstar here. We we're gonna have a drama alert.

Go ahead. Go ahead, Joey. We somehow got involved in, like,

Kendrick Lamar and no. I'm

pissed that's going back in Beer already. We did. We just we

are in it right now. Oh, okay. Well, perfect.

Shiva India Pale Ale, IPA, pretty good. Made my Asheville

Brewing Company. That sounds good. Sounds very good.

That's right. Alright. I'll go. So I went with, stepped out

of my sasquatch comfort zone and went with a sea monster.

It's colossal Claude Claude

by Rogue. Cloud. Yeah. I

can't find shit like this. I mean, I did find something that's

that relates I found something that relates to the episode since it's about

electronics and everything. So it's called doctor RKB.

It's a berry lemon sour, and it doesn't really have much of a taste. So

I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing for my my

my end. So Wouldn't it be funny if

it tastes like battery acid? That would be wild.

Yeah. Yeah. So What are you drinking over

there? Inner scare? I do not drink alcohol. So

I am a huge energy drink fan, though. Right?

So I'm drinking Interscare's very own. This is a very

first, and this is the first time that I am showing it or announcing

it to anyone. This is nightmare fuel. It is a

prickly pear flavored energy drink. Nice.

Preorders coming soon, everyone. Alright.

Hey. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm talking

about. I love me some energy drinks. Yes.

Mhmm. Especially Cat we get through the day. Right. Absolutely.

You can fall asleep with Interscare sleep stories and wake up with Interscare

energy drink. Hell, yeah. You are cornering the market

for real, Awake and asleep. Honestly, it's the

perfect perfect drink to have when you're too scared to sleep. So

That is true. That is true. Yeah. Well, guys,

let's see. So we are talking spooky AI and

haunted electronics tonight. I think

we've all kinda got a story here or there. I do have something

special to share with everyone who is watching on the live and going to

watch the replay on this. So I'm gonna introduce somebody here

right now and, it kind of explain the dealio if it's is it a good

time to do this? I think so. Do it at the Cat the beginning, and

then we'll see Yeah. How things go in the show. Right.

So this is

Lucky. There. He's looking at you. This is Black.

And Lucky is a haunted doll

that was gifted to me by my friend Dwayne Zazewski.

Dwayne is in the comments. Thank you for jumping on, Dwayne.

So the story with, this creepy ass,

Seahawks doll, which is his other name. That's what Dwayne calls him.

He would do stuff in Dwayne's apartments. He would we got a couple of videos

from Dwayne. He would knock off matchbox cars, little, you

know, little cars off his TV stand. We got a video of him knocking out

a a hat out of a closet, I believe. So there was there was some

activity going on, which led Dwayne to, believe that this

doll here is haunted. And I said, bet,

and he sent it to me. So

because I don't know how I feel about haunted objects. I've talked about this on

my show. And so I've had Lucky here for,

about a month and a half, I believe, maybe 2 months. And he's just

been chilling in my studio. And I called him Lucky right

away because as soon as I got him, some some weird stuff happened, but some

very cool stuff happened too. So I was like, okay. Your name is Lucky. Now

the deal with Lucky, though, is he does not have

batteries in him right now. Apparently, when you put batteries in

him, he gets a little wild. So for tonight's episode, for

the first time of owning Lucky, I'm going to be putting batteries

in him, and I'm gonna set him right here, and we'll see if anything happens.

So he's gonna join us in the live, and

and that's what's gonna happen. So gonna call my bluff

here. Look. I'm I'm across the

he my vote is he immediately goes off on a weird racist

rant against against people from Saskatchewan. Just

like like, what? Black. I'm clear

across the country from Kristen, and I'm terrified for her right now.

Are you scared? I am. I'm, like, a little nervous.

See, apparently, he's he says something or sings something. I've never heard Lucky's

voice. It's gonna be creepy as shit, is what it's gonna

I think Gil probably right. It sings something super racist. What's the sketch?

It it's a Seahawks. It's wearing a Seahawks jersey. So I'm gonna

assume that it's not gonna win a Super Bowl since 2014.

Oh. When they put their shots fired. All just stoking the flames here.

Last one. Here we go.

I wonder if that is Russell Wilson. Oh, man.

I'm pushing the button. Oh god. These are freshly

charged batteries. Already did. Nothing's

happening. I'm a set him as I'm a set him aside Yeah.

Here. Is there a on switch?

No. I don't believe so. Nope. Just the button. I mean, don't pull

pull a pants. I can't do that. You know, like, jeez.

It's not that kind of show. This is how

lucky becomes unlucky real fast. Dwayne

real pissed with reason. Dwayne says he's had no weird

stuff happen since I mailed it off to you. I

have had some weird stuff happen since I got him, and that was

Report batteries. You had weird stuff happening when you were

unboxing it. Yes. I did. Yeah. From from

day 1, and we took video of this. It was very strange. So I

had Lee videoing me as I unboxed

Lucky. He was inside of a a pack, so there's a bunch of other

stuff. And the moment in the video when I get to, like,

open his pocket of the bag, the video just cuts out,

shuts down. So so we had to start that

recording. Oh, I don't have it handy. Shoot. I sent it to the group chat.

I'm sorry. But that is what happened. Everybody in this group knows it. They saw

it. And then a couple other things. Your

dogs were freaking out. They were free they were. You can hear it in the

video. They were just going wild in the background as I was trying

to pull this doll out of this bag. About a week afterwards

or so, it was just a random like, I'll I'll turn my phone on do

not disturb every now and then just when I just lead need, like, a night.

But, randomly and I did not turn it on do not disturb.

Sometime during the night, turned on do not disturb, woke up the next morning to

just a flood of, like, missed emails,

calls, texts. So I blame Lucky. And

then the third thing, one last thing, happened recently. I was

filming a video for this episode about haunted electronics,

and I ended up using a Voodoo doll that I got a while ago in

the video. I was gonna use Lucky. I was gonna use him.

But thinking wisely, I came to him first. I was like, look, Lucky. I would

like you to be in my video. If you don't wanna be in my video,

you need to do something to let me know. And right at that second, I

got a text on my phone. So I was like, okay. And I went and

got the voodoo doll instead. Much safer bet.

Oh, I do like the picture.

There's just, like, one very unlucky, like,

postal carrier, just like postal service worker that just absorbed

everything on the way to your house. It's like, alright, Lucky.

If you don't wanna play the video, just do something. Do anything. The guy's just

hair just catches on fire, and he's just running in the background in your neighborhood.

And that man, that postal service worker was Frank Oldfield.

Frank Oldfield. Man, dude, didn't

single handedly take down the Society of the Banana.

Nope. Alright. What do you guys,

say we get into some stories? Although, I I do recall,

mister inter scare, you know, you are you are a guest on

this show. And, when we were talking to you before, you

mentioned you had a strange experience.

Yeah. Yeah. You wanna start us why don't you start us off with the

stories? Alrighty. Real quick, I wanna say hi to,

Wendy Bingle, Horror on the Rocks, and Cat

Damion, and Mrs. Interscare. Thank you guys for joining over on my stream. I

appreciate you guys being here. Alrighty.

So when I was about it's probably

probably 10 years old when I got the stereo. Right? But I had a

stereo. It It was really old. It had, like, the tape recorder on

it and, like, the tape player and had, like, a 5 disc CD

changer in it or whatever, but it was one of those ones. And I was,

like, 10 years old when I got it. But whenever I got

into middle school, so I was probably around 13 years old or so when

this happened, it started randomly

turning on to a random static channel on the radio. Every time I

would be home from school, it would just be on, and it would be on

random static. So I thought, okay. Maybe I

turn like a like an alarm or something on on it. You know? So I

just would turn it off every Damion never went through the settings to figure it

out or whatever. Well, one day I'm sick, so I

stay home from school. And I'm sitting in

the living room with my mother, and it

turns on to this random static channel again. So I'm

like, okay. Well, this is the time it does it every day. So I go

and I turn it off. And then I go back in the living room, and

about 5 minutes later, it turns back on.

So this time I'm like, okay. Maybe there was like a

sleep function or something. So I go and I turn it off again, and this

time, I unplug it because I don't wanna keep having to run back and forth.

Yeah. About 5 minutes later, with it unplugged,

swear to God, hand on the Bible, the radio turns back

on. It's on the static channel. I go

in the room to check it out, and it's on, and I can see

the plug Gil unplugged. Oh. Wow.

Oh. Okay. I I I have to

ask. Did you check for batteries? Did it take batteries? It did not take any

batteries. It was one that only plugged in. So

I'm assuming that whatever entity or spirit or

whatever was in the home was

emanating enough energy to be able to turn it on and

do that every day at the same time.

Wow. Wow.

I don't know what I would do. I'm good. I'm good with that. Throw it

away? Well, at the time, I didn't really know what was happening. You know? I

was just a kid or whatever. I was like, that's weird. Like, you know, whatever.

It it happened. I got rid of it whenever we moved houses or whatever.

How long did that take you? Like, every night even after you saw it to

be like, woah. Let me toss Cat. I bet we better move and get rid

of it. You moved. You moved because of it. That's that's why. Right? Yeah.

About about 7 years later, actually. So about

7 years, every day, it would turn on. And I would

and, yeah, I never got rid of it until we moved when I was 18.

Wow. Every day for 7 years. That's wild. Yeah.

What's the radio to have in case of a natural disaster? Like, you just

never know it. You never need to charge it.

Right. Honestly. You know? Can you can you

imagine all the when if if the power

ever goes out, like, solar flare knocks all the power out, and then everybody

knows what's haunted from now on because those are the only thing that

work after all the power's gone.

Right. Oh, man. Isn't that fun Cat that totally traumatic and

creepy stuff that happens to us when we're kids? And we don't think about it

till, like you know, sometimes decades later, like, looking back, like, that was

horrible. That was horrifying. Whatever that was. I don't know. It was weird.

Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Lot of

stuff. Well, hey. Real

quick. Just wanna jump in. So we are gonna be accepting calls a little bit

later in the show. Can I just make the announcement right now? If you

are thinking about calling in, if we pick up your call, be sure your

radio's turned off in the background. Just wanna put that

in there. Alright. Yes. My life. Speaking of background, I

apologize if you hear a child screaming in the background. I

I didn't wanna say anything. I was like, that sounds like a ghostly voice. Yeah.

I know. That's We were just thinking that Black was prepping the boys. Oh. You

know? That's inter screams in the background. That's Enter screams.

That's awesome. There were comments coming in on, the

Black Cat Reports channel, about hearing screaming in the

background was being associated with Black. So we did we already

debunked 1 this evening. Right? Right. Right. I

do apologize for that. My Alexa. No. No. It wasn't it wasn't not at all.

Like, Risky For The Biscuits said that they had to put on their

headphones. They were like, is is that what I'm hearing? Is that what I'm they

had to, like, go put on their headphones. And they're like, holy shit. It is

there. You know? But I guess

they got a you know, they've got they've got your vocal

gravitas to, like, live up to your tenor delivery. So they got to start practicing

young, you know? That's right. Yep. He's definitely working out as

long as he does that.

Boos stuff. So what other creepy electronic

stories do we have? You know, we're in group. We have an internal in

here. We need to have a scream counter right above my

head. Right. Every time you hear it be great. Take a drink.

Yep. Yep. Yep. Oh, that's it. Yep. Well, let's do a

listener story. What do we, what did we get submitted to us?

I've got I've got one pulled up. Awesome. Let's do

it. Sent in by my buddy, Chris,

from Fearful Encounters. If you guys don't

know Fearful Encounters, go give give them a follow on Facebook,

Instagram, TikTok. They they got some good stuff going on over there.

So, Kristen, this may make you happy. This is about a

Furby. Making my dreams come true, ma'am. So

so here's here it is. So so growing

up in the late nineties, early 2000, there was a popular

toy called Furby. My sister had one, and she and she didn't

want it anymore for some reason. She ended up giving it to me, and

I didn't think nothing about it. I just thought it was a toy. I mean,

we bought bought it brand new from a store, so there was nothing creepy behind

it. At the time, though, when I went to bed right around midnight

or so, the thing would automatically turn on and would say, woah.

So, of course, starting to get up and turn it off, thinking nothing of

it. Maybe I thought it was just a malfunction, but this was

happening multiple times throughout the night. But the main

creepy part about this story is I finally took it down into the living

room, and I left it on our TV stand. I decided to sleep in

the living in the living room that night. Well, it was just me and

my mother that evening while my dad was out of town. I

was already asleep on the couch, and, apparently, my mother heard the thing going off

in the living room and was acting like it was getting fed and

making that sound good or whatever it was.

It creeped my mom out. She eventually took the batteries out.

Then she went to her bathroom, said she was getting ready for RKB, and she

said in the mirror, she was looking at her closet behind her, and

the closet door was opening up. She shut it, and it opened up

again. Then she heard the Furby going off one more time in the living

room, which remember, the batteries were already taken out. She

woke me up and made me come sleep in bed with her because I freaked

her out a little Beer, but we always joked and laughed about the situation,

maybe thinking Cat was a malfunction of the Furby. Deep down, my mother

wouldn't lie to me. She really didn't believe in the paranormal or anything

about that. She was a real religious lady, but

this to this day, we don't know what it was. And I'm not and I'm

not saying it was paranormal, but I could tell you this was our Chucky of

the late nineties.

Damn. I read that earlier, and I was like, that's pretty wild. We're taking the

batteries out, then the closet door opening, and it's still making sounds.

It's that's a little weird. It's a little weird. Mhmm.

Mhmm. Yeah. For a second in that story, I thought that she the

mother was gonna take the Furby and start drowning it in the sink when

she grabbed it because it's like, no. No more. Right.

Well, thank you, Chris, for sending that in, man. I appreciate it. Yeah. Yeah.

Thank you, Chris. Thank you. Oh. That's awesome. That scratched the

itch. Now if somebody could just call in about a teddy

rug Boogeymen. Yes. Well, I'm I'm I'm getting a bunch

of stories over here. Quick little stories from Dwayne. Dwayne, I'm gonna

need you to call in later because you got some you got some good

stuff. I'm a take the opportunity here and just say hey to a couple of

folks. Heidi, thank you for jumping on. Melissa, Dwayne, of

course, and, Frank. I saw you in your Frank Triggs, thank

you for jumping over here from, we know each other from Nocturnal Frequency

Radio. Thank you so much, man. Thanks for joining. Alright.

Back to you guys. Yeah. That was nuts. I was

What? I need to do a shout out here, specifically to

Harry Carey. Harry Carey. I'm so sorry to

laugh, Kristen. It's when I I looked at our

chat, and Harry Carey may have had the comment at the evening. I'm gonna call

it early. It was just my Furby channel, Stanton Friedman.

Yeah. Stanton Friedman? Yeah. UFO

that's hilarious. Stanton Friedman kinda

looks like a Furby. Oh.

I'm slow on the up dryer. Oh my god.

Doesn't Stan Friedman's still alive? No. No. No. Well, he

is in the form of a Furby, I'm assuming.

So, apparently, on my channel, we haven't been streaming this whole time

because I didn't realize I had to click the go live button because

usually my streaming software does that for me. Oh, no.

So I apologize, everyone. Now we are live on the

channel. Oh, shit. It's okay. I'll I'll get you the the file.

If you watch it on the replay, you should be able to see everything that

happened in the beginning, though. Right.

Mhmm. Well, what else? Let's do another, group story.

Do, either you, Gil, or Joey have one?

Oh, come on. You ain't never had a malfunction

with a a ghost in the machine? Nothing with your laptop? Nothing?

There I I do have one. It's very brief. It's a there's

no real long buildup or anything to it. Actually, this this caveat

leading in is longer than the story, So you're welcome. But

the I don't remember how old I

was. Probably 6,

7 years old, maybe 8 years old. And

friend was over at my house, and my

sister was there. We were watching the X Files

on TV in my bedroom.

And through my doorway and through, like, another

doorway, you could see a treadmill in the living room, and the

light was on in the living room. I don't know how my dad hadn't managed

to yell about nobody being in there and the light being on yet, but somehow

Cat happened. So first miracle. But the

we're sitting there, and we're watching X Files. And now this treadmill, I

think it was, like, a red key or something like that. You know, they have

the safety keys you have to put in there. You can clip it onto your

pants or whatever. So if you, you know, Fred Flintstone or whatever, if you fall

to clean up the shit and shoot off the end, it doesn't just keep going.

We're all just sitting there watching the X Files, and, of course, it's, like, the

scariest scene possible. In the episode, the

treadmill just turns on. Oh, shit.

And, like, you have to keep in mind, like, this is, you know, in our

all of our peripheral view. Like, the treadmill the whole time is, like, in the

background through the open door Mhmm. And just, like,

turns on. And I believe it turned off right after that, but,

like, all of us just, like, jump scared. Oh,

fuck. You know? And, you know, nobody was in there. Our

parents weren't in there or whatever, but I think that's the only real, like, haunted

electronics story I have. It's just middle of watching David Duchovny do

his thing. All of a sudden, the treadmill turned on. It's

my closest surprise you weren't running scared.

Oh. I'll drink I'll drink for that.

Take your penance. Oh. Speaking

of which, since I forgot to hit live, can I reintroduce my drink to

everyone that's on my channel? Yeah. Go ahead. Absolutely.

So this is Beer Boos and Boogeymen, everyone, if you all don't know.

Basically, they they drink while

they tell scary stories and, you know, they do listener stories, things of that

nature. Well, as you all know, I don't drink alcohol,

but I do love me a good energy drink.

And I have with me today the very

first Nightmare Fuel.

This is a prickly pear flavored energy drink,

and preorders will be coming soon for everyone. So stay tuned

for those. Awesome. Alrighty. I do apologize. I

was really good. So You're good. You're good. It's so good.

Joey, do you have any kind of stories? I

so last week or last month, it feels like it's been a week since

last time we aired. I had good stories. You know? But

this week, the only thing that I have happened to me is waking

up in the middle of the night and just

hearing Alexa go, I'm sorry. I didn't hear that. Shit.

Almost, like, maybe 3 nights a week. Wow. So

I unplugged on Alexa, and it has not come back on. So I'm

feeling feeling good about that. There's no batteries.

Wait. When did this happen, Joey? I don't think.

It had been happening for a while. So it happened, like, 2 to 3 times

a week for, like, a year. Woah. And then I unplugged it.

I know I that's, like, burying the lead, and I tend to do that all

the time, but that

that happens. So, yeah,

I just unplugged it. Never heard from it again, and, it is

in the trash can.

So I didn't even hunt down whatever factory is in charge of creating

Furbies and Paranorm, Alexas at this point in time in

history. Well, I I just wanna take

a minute and say, hi to my sister, Britney. She's watching again this week

and, or this month rather since we go live once a month. So hello,

Britney. Hello, Joey. I'm sure you're watching too. And anybody else that

Cat that I know on my end since I don't have any

people popping up on my end. They just messaged me that they're watching. So thank

anybody that I know that is watching. And,

you know, I've got some stories Cat we wanna go ahead and and and knock

one of them out, or we do want do we wanna wait? Yeah. Let's let's

do one of yours. We always we know that you always have tons of

stories. You are our resident ghost magnet. So let's do one of

yours, and then let's hit, we had a video. Right? Is that right,

Gil? You got it? Okay. Alright. Yeah. Let's do one of yours, Steve.

So, this happened back in

August of 2020. My

paranormal team had only been going for about 2 months,

and we'd, we decided to take a

what's what's the word I'm looking for? An unplanned visit to this

place up in Kentucky called Octagon Hall, one of the

most haunted locations here in the South.

Some crazy shit happens at this place. The one time we've been

there, we experienced a lot of stuff throughout the entire night.

But for this story, we gotta fast forward all the way to

after we left. We had

some stuff going on. It was actually my wife, Kelly's, very first investigation,

and there was a guy who kept kinda joining in with our group and he

was he was kinda being a dick. He was doing some provoking, which, you know,

we don't we don't believe in all that stuff. So more

or less in there poking and prodding and and just just pissing everything

off. And, it eventually started to affect my wife and and

and team member of ours, both, you know, female. It it was

affecting them to the point where, you know, their stomachs were

hurting. You know, they were pains in between their shoulder blades. Like,

they were it was it was affecting them pretty good. Mhmm. Rushed them

outside. The woman who oversaw the place at the time, you

know, saged them, blessed them with oil, did all this stuff, and,

told them we need she's like, you guys need to go ahead and leave. By

this time, it's already, like, 12:30, 1 o'clock in the morning. She's like, you guys,

you need to leave right now. But whatever you do,

don't come back because something's gonna try to get you to come back.

We're like, oh, you know, whatever. You know? So we

punch in our address on the GPS, and we get

5 minutes down the road, and it tells us to make a u-turn.

I'm like, no. We we know what direction we came from. If we to make

a u-turn, we're gonna go farther north. We need to go south. Getting

sneaky. Drove a couple more minutes. Please make a

u-turn when you can. Told us 3 or 4 times

to make a u-turn trying to get us to go back in the other direction.

Never had anything do that before, GPS wise, because it's

always when you actually need to make a u-turn, it's when it make

sense. This didn't make sense because we needed to go south. It was telling us

to make u-turn to go back north. And

so, of course, we just kept going, and we you know, I I'd messaged the

woman a couple days later and told her, and she goes, see. I told you

it was trying to get you to come back here. And

it was it was very strange. And, yeah,

that's that's one of my stories. So Do you do you believe that

that that it was that entity? You know,

maybe it was just a coincidence, but for her to sit there and tell us

right before we left Mhmm. Something's gonna try to get you to come Black.

Just keep going. And then our GPS tell us

telling us 3 or 4 times to make a u-turn, you know, that's a

pretty big coincidence if it was coincidence. Not

saying it was paranormal. Like I said, it could have been just a just a

really odd coincidence, but it was just really strange that she told us

that, and then our GPS kept trying to get us to turn around and go

the other direction. Don't you think that's the tricky

thing with, talking about, you know, like

like, the ghost in the machine, you know, per se, but, like, like, spirits

using electronic devices and gadgets and, like, your

laptop or text. Like, that's the difficult thing

because most people are very they they can very easily brush it off as, okay.

That's just an electrical malfunction. Like, at what point are we waiting

for, like, a feeling or something, just like a impending doom when that

happens? Or because I've had tons of stuff. I I've had my Waze

app, like, tell me to do crazy things. Mhmm. You know? Not, like,

jump off a bridge or anything, but I don't know. I did picture the

u-turn situation where it's like you're on, like, a single lane, like,

narrow road over a valley, and it's like, make u-turn now. And you're just

like, no. Now. No.

But, like, you scared Mhmm. I think Interscare was

gonna say something. I saw some I saw a spark pop up in your

eyes. Yeah, I did. He, he reminded me of another

story that I have about crazy electronics and stuff, but I can

wait until after this discussion to tell it. But to

answer your question, Kristen, in my opinion, I think it would

be the circumstances surrounding the,

the incident. Like, if your Waze app does random things here and there,

like, you know, yeah, that happens. That could be an electrical malfunction and

stuff. But I think as humans, we like to discredit

coincidence as much as possible. Yes. So,

if there's any spooky scenario happening around all of that

stuff, I think that we tend to

enjoy, you know, going the paranormal route with it. And a

lot of times, I think that the search situation surrounding it can actually lead to

that paranormal route being the case as well. Mhmm. Mhmm.

And on the on the other hand of that too, we we

could, like because most people are happy to think, like, coincidental

coincidental, a lot more people might be having these

spiritual experiences in these communications than even know

it. They just don't even think it. Yeah.

Is it is it too early to throw out some crazy thing

that was just running through my head do this, or should I wait till later?

I say go for it. I think you have to now. Yeah. Toss it out

there. Well, we talk about the idea of AI coming

through everything and AI, taking over

things eventually in the future. What if AI you Beer,

because we think about time is linear. AI doesn't know time is

linear, so AI can go back into machines in the past and change

things so it can mess with us from the future into the past.

That's just the plot determinator.

A. That almost that almost

Boos. With with AI not

realizing that time is linear, that almost gives it,

like, a godlike

place too because, you know, god is outside of time. And if AI is also

outside of time, then, like, AI is a step between, like, humans

and god at that point.

Or it would it would believe itself to be. It would believe itself to be.

That's true. That's very true. That's a very good point. Yeah. It has no

concept of time. It is just kind of ever present.

Mhmm. Or at the very Yeah. What would stop it from going back and messing

with somebody's ways that happened? Right? Oh,

man. You guys are freaking me out in ways I wasn't expecting.

Kristen O'Connor. Yeah.

Also, I'm ready, man. Also,

I think on a GPS is my new fear. Thanks, Damien.

We're all gonna have to revert back to the office.

Well, Dwayne says, Kristen, you should know this. Time is spherical.

Time is spherical.

Alright. Alright. Let's go, with If AI doesn't

know what time it is, who the hell is controlling the clocks? That's what I

wanna know. I thought that was just the

mice that run on the wheels inside of the little Everybody knows this

Gil. My bad. My bad. I'm sorry. I pictured little

robot mice. Jeez. If you if you all will excuse me for a

moment, I need to go feed my clock. I'm sorry.

That's why my clock's been ever so slow since I let the captured the mice

and put them outside. Get the daylight Looks like it doesn't move.

Whip it with a little piece of thread. Like, one faster. Go.

Alright. Alright. Well, you wanna Hey, Skye. Are you

ready? Yeah. Tell your story? Yeah. Alright. So I've actually got 2. 1 is

hilarious, and 1 is, like, legitimately scary. So I'll tell the

funny one first. The first one, missus Interscare wanted me to tell.

So she was watching the promo that y'all put out, the

other day about where, Kristen

was talking to her Google Home.

Mhmm. Well, she was talking to her Google Home,

and me and my wife both have Android phones. So

whenever it said, hey, Google, do whatever you said, it turned on

both of our phones, and she didn't know that that was a feature

on our phones. So she was legitimately freaked out when her

phone started playing, like, death metal music and mine started playing a murder

podcast. So that would definitely

freaked her out. Please tell me all the lights were off when this happens.

Oh, it was. It I was asleep, so this had to be, like, 3 in

the morning when it happened too. So it was great.

That's amazing. So then the next story is

before I ran Interscare Sleep, the YouTube channel,

me and missus Interscare actually ran another YouTube channel,

that that I don't really talk about a lot, but that we did a bunch

of spooky stuff on. You know, we would go to haunted houses or we would

do paranormal investigations, you know, just different things within the horror

genre. And we were doing a paranormal investigation

in Texas at one point. And we made a whole

trip of it. We went to Waco. We went to a few different things. But

one point in particular that is relevant to this episode,

we went to the Goatman Bridge that is in Texas.

In Denton, Texas. Yeah. And we

went there, and this was my first ever time

doing anything with any sort of paranormal investigation. I didn't

know anything. I was very, you know, young in it. I was

very inexperienced. I didn't have any, you know, really good

equipment or anything, but we were live streaming the whole thing.

Well, for the first really, really long amount of time, we weren't

getting any activity whatsoever at all, anything.

So me being inexperienced and immature as I

was, because it was several years ago, I started doing what

Damion was talking about earlier with that other guy doing, getting a little belligerent,

getting a little, getting a little antagonistic

with, whatever was surrounding the Goatman

bridge. Mhmm. Well, once I started doing that, we started to

get a lot of activity. We would hear knocks under the

bridge. We would, you know, pick up some things on

on audio recorders that I had or whatever. But one

thing that really stuck out was on the livestream, I

was videoing underneath the bridge because we was hearing something underneath the

bridge. And I look over at missus Interscare, and she just has

her phone in her hand. I've never seen a phone

be a static image Beer. Like like static. Like

like you don't have signal on an antenna TV. Right. But her

phone was just doing that Weird. That white static, and it was

making the white noise. And we freaked out, and we saw it,

and it was on the livestream. I wish to God I still had the video

of it because I would play it, but it was

the craziest thing that I've ever experienced, and still

probably the craziest thing that I've ever experienced when it comes to technology like that.

And you couldn't use it. I I I even took her phone on the

livestream, and I was, like, trying to go home, trying to, like, go back, trying

to get out of there, showing that it wasn't, like, a video playing. Like, it

was it was it was freaky. Oh.

So wait. When you left the location, did it go back to

normal? Yes. It did. That's insane.

Yep. Y'all forgot to feed the phone mice.

I'm gonna actually see if I can find that footage while we're while we're

talking. Cat would be amazing. Do. That would be amazing. Love to see that.

Oh, man. I've never had anything go static on me. Nothing

nothing crazy like that. Sitting there like rookies. Everything

I use is just static.

Do we do we wanna play the other, you Beer, videos that

you're Can I can I throw this out there? Because we're gonna be going to

live callers here shortly. I do Beer,

get ready to call in. If you want to go to go stop

beer, you can still call in through the options that you'll have there

on the screen, or just dial the number 20871716

one one. We'll be accepting live callers here in just a

little bit. But, yeah, if you wanna load up that that video for us, Gil.

I'm excited. I'm not sure what this is in regards to.

I just heard we had a video.

Let me things pulled up here. Give me just a moment, please. I

do love it when when folks submit things to us in story

form and voice message and videos. So tell your

friends. We love it. We love getting them.

Give me just a moment. You know? Sure. Sure. Should've

been more prepared. That's okay. Do you want

Dee to tell one of his gazillions of electronic

malfunctions? I think we we should be good. I just had

to to move some things around. I can always turn to you, Beer.

Right. I I usually got a couple.

Right. Alright. Can you all see

that? Mhmm. Yes. Comcast. Can they see it on the live?

There we go. There it goes. Alright. Cool. Hi,

guys. My name is Megan. I am a paranormal podcast host and a

paranormal investigator with almost 20 years of experience. You can find me

at toast x ghosts pretty much all social

medias, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok. That's where you can

find me. I've got a story for you. So I

spent 33 hours at The Conjuring House in 2022.

I went with perfectly functioning equipment. Everything seemed to

be great. My first night, super smooth, as smooth as you might

imagine it to go for being the Conjuring House. I've heard a lot

of people have gone to this location. They've had no no activity,

really no experiences. It's been pretty dead and quiet, but I had the

complete opposite experience. Not only was there activity,

but I left with about half of the equipment that I started with because nothing

worked after this location.

4 of my k twos, my original Rem Pod, my phone charger, 2

sets of wireless headphones, and one set I'm sorry,

one wireless speaker. All shit to bet on me.

I ended up having to go to Target. I spent about a $175

in everything that I could find at Target, to use

for these investigations, which was

a bit of a Boos, kind of kind of hurt a little bit.

I'm just interested to know if anybody else has had similar experiences. You know?

I I went in. Everything was fine. And when I left, it it just

wasn't. My k Boos seem to be emotion activated

now. Like, if you turn them on and then you touch them,

they they do things, and they never did that before. My Rem

Pod makes noises that I've never heard. I'll try to send you a little

video. Maybe you can pull that up at some point and, see if we can

get some answers about that. But I had to replace pretty much every

piece of equipment that I had after my second night at The Conjuring House in

Rhode Island because nothing functioned properly anymore. So

is this normal? Is this something that you guys have dealt with before?

Let's let's chat about it.

This is the video.

I see that second video that second video was

her her Rem Pod doing something that's never done before.

Mhmm. And when I watched that, I was like,

holy shit. Mine's done that before at a location, and it never had done

it before, and it's never done it since. And

I and I reset it several times, and it would be

quiet for a couple of minutes, and then just start doing that that noise.

I've had my REM Pod for probably 3 years, and it's only made that sound

one time at one location. It's never done it before. Never done it since.

And so when I heard that, I was like, oh, shit. I was like, mine's

done that before. So I don't know if that is some kind of

super rare malfunction or if other people's rim pods have done Cat. But,

again, another coincidence maybe, but I was like, mine's done

that before. But for all of her stuff

to malfunction like that, like, half of her

equipment at one of the most haunted locations, you know, in in

in America. I thought that was pretty wild when I watched that.

Yeah. Yeah. I I would be interested to know, like,

take a poll somewhat of, if if other how many

other paranormal investigators have experienced that sound. I've I've only used a

REM pod once, and I don't recall it making something

similar to that. But Right. You know, like you said, is it a

very common thing to Beer, or do they just do it every now and

then? And since she was telling me, when I was talking

to her about it, she said that, she thought maybe, you know, the batteries were

dying or something. So she's changed the batteries probably 15

different times, and it still does that. She said she eventually just had to buy

a whole d Rim Pod. Because that's what I thought

when I was doing that. I was like, man, it the batteries must be doing

dead or something. Let's put some new batteries in there. Same

thing. So I don't know if it's just some odd malfunction that happens

or it triggered something to make it do that because I'd

never heard it before, and I haven't heard it since. Mhmm.

What was the situation that you're in? Do you remember it being especially?

No. It was where we were at, actually, everything

that happened was, like, in a very positive way. Oh.

Like, nothing bad was going on. We had actually been playing

some music of people that had stayed at this hotel we were

at, and this thing just starts going off like

that, like, while this music's going on and stuff.

Mhmm. But that music, when I played that music, like, it kinda it

started the night up for us, and

and it was really weird. And I think we lost

Gil. I think we did. I think we should probably keep

going. I'm sure he's doing some technical wizardry on the other

side there. Mhmm. Right. But, Inderskare, did you find

the the video? That's alright. I went through

about 5 or 6 different emails

in my Google Drive, and I still wasn't able to find it. Oh,

well, you you may find it yet. Gil is back.

Did you all miss him? Back, sir. That could go down there. We did. We

did. Yeah. I just let him know if you guys would miss me.

Do you have a Target near you, Damion?

No. Maybe about 45 minutes. That's a little far. I

feel like it was the Target ghost that stole all of her stuff

because she went and spent almost $200 at Target for all that

stuff. Now Dang. When the location I was at

when this happened, I mean, there may have been one close. I don't know. I

was in Paducah, Kentucky, which is, you know, a pretty pretty big town.

So there may have been one close by. I don't know.

Now how odd would that be if there was, you know

A Target right next door? Right. Yeah.

Alright. Well, we are kinda getting to that place

in our episodes where we can kinda open up the

lines. Not kinda. We're gonna open up the lines now. If anybody

would like to call in, the number is

208-717-1611.

If you would like a couple of steps less than that, you can just go

to go stop beer and click on the direct link to call

in, and we can receive your call that way. Mhmm.

Good. Wow. Hung up. We didn't

know one. Somebody was quick. Not yet. Not yet. I'm just setting up. Not yet.

Okay. It popped up. I was like, somebody setting up.

While while we're, waiting for our first caller, I do

have one one very quick story. Dee, I

know you got another one here. Mhmm. I'm assuming he's still setting up until he

tells me to shut up. As you all can see, we don't answer our voice

mails. So, just a.

Those voice mails. Oh, there

it is. Already won. Yep.

Well, there was 1. Gil then hung up on them.

I y'all saw what I did. I didn't do anything.

Gail. Whoever that was, please call back. Beer here.

Yeah. Maybe maybe it was a ghost of a machine.

Shit. Possibly. It was a ghost call. It

could've been a ghost call. You look over the phone at your

phone. It should have been a ghost call. Try this again.

Hello? Hello? Can you hear us alright? Yeah.

Cat you hear me? Yeah? Yes. Yes. You can.

That's good. Can we get your your first name or nickname

and where you're calling in from? Air Force 1, Gerald

Washington. Oh, yeah. Nice.

If you know, you know.

Hey, Dwayne. What you what you got for us tonight? You always

got good stories. Man, I got a

lot, but I'll trim it down to a little. You know how it is.

You guys, somebody said the time is linear.

Kristen, me and you, I think, had this conversation one time. I I wanna debate

that if I could. Go forth. Yep.

Okay. I'm gonna and, Kristen, I'm gonna use you an example.

Kristen, when you walk down the street, Cat you're going to the

store on a mile walk, the squirrel sees

you, it reacts to you. The neighbor sees a pretty girl

walking down the street, reacts to that. You see the squirrel. You

see the neighbor out on his porch. You see the kid throwing the

newspaper, yada yada yada. You look

up, you see the airplane. The people or the helicopter. The

helicopter, we know people in helicopters don't look up. They look down. They

see you. So is that not

spherical? You have now altered

every bit of time around you, and everything that you

affected, its time line was also altered. That

is a spherical thing. It's not a linear thing. We only perceive

it that way. Or am I completely wrong on this?

No. I think I I I do understand.

It would take it it it would so does time only exist

because it takes 2 parties to affect it and

and create that that circular motion? Otherwise, does

time not exist? If it was linear,

everything to the left, right, behind, and above you Mhmm. Would not

be altered, but you altered it.

And then I'll let me go with, I think we talked about this too.

Do any of you believe in time machines?

Oh. We can go forward in time, but the laws of physics do

not allow us to go backward in time. The laws of physics actually

prove that if you travel at enough speed for a long enough amount of

time, you can go forward in time, and it feels like

you haven't spent that much time, you know, going forward.

But going backwards in time is a

theoretical impossibility due to paradoxes and

things. You are absolutely correct, sir.

Unless you're attacking. Do you believe that do you believe

that time machines exist right now, here and

now? I believe that if they ever exist, they exist

right now. Yes. Mhmm. Well, we did,

scientists did actually create scientists did actually create a warp

bubble already, that exists out as Cat a time and

space. They just created it accidentally. So

the idea behind time machines is we don't have a way to travel yet that

we've created that we know of, but the idea behind

it exists. Why do you why do you say that, Dwayne?

Oh, well, here we go. Okay. So we have to base

everything on our feet. That is our,

control. Correct? That's the time it takes us to go anywhere on

the planet is what we have to do with our feet. That's the fast

whether we run, jog, whatever. That's that's our

control. So now we have invented things that you can climb into. Let's

just say you have to go to work and it's 10 miles away. It's an

hour and a half walk. We have created things that you can get into,

turn a key, push buttons, turn the wheel, and get us

there in 10 minutes. Is that not a time machine? You have now altered

time. Going back to if you were walking down the

street, everything that you would affect on your way there. Everything that

sees you, you have alter time all the way there. If you get in your

car, turn the buttons, control all the switches, and get to

work in a tenth of the time that it would take you to walk, you

have now altered time. You've gone forward in time. Am I wrong?

You're he's actually he's not wrong. If we're if we,

think back to what Itterscare was just saying, like, they've proven that if you can

move fast enough if you can move fast enough, you can go

forward in time. He is not wrong. Mhmm. That's true. It's very

minuscule, but you're right, Dwayne. Yeah. I mean,

it's it's a stretch, but it is a time machine, whether it be a car,

a plane, a train. Yeah. Again, the we have to

base it on our feet. A horse and a bicycle

doesn't count because you are still using your power

to move that thing forward. But something that you

control outside of your own power, that is a time machine. A car is

a time machine. I fix these things all day. They're time machines.

They get you to where you need to be faster than you could in the

real world. I know it's a stretch.

But It's a save time machine. Yeah. That's the

right way to say it. No. It's a save time machine. It it's a time

machine. It it puts you farther into time than you could on your

own. Anyway, just having fun with you guys, man. Just wanted your

opinion, man. Mhmm. Appreciate it. But you guys said, hey. You know what?

I love the show. You guys rock. Kristen, I wasn't gonna call in,

but you guys are killing me over here, so I had to, man. Anyway, love

this show. Can't wait till the next one, man. Awesome.

Thank you, Dwayne. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, you bet. You guys are awesome.

Have a good one. Alright. Talk to you later. What

Yeah. What, actually, Interscare hasn't announced yet is he has created

his Inner Scare Inner Scare time travel. Yes. Cat

way, if you don't want to go to sleep, you can travel forward to

tomorrow. You don't have to.

I love that. Yeah. He's he's energy drink is a time

machine. Right.

Cat surgery imagine a time machine? Oh my

god. What would it do? Just send you

to random spices? Would it send you to random places?

To the worst points in human history.

Like You just Oh. Turn your head, and you're like, oh,

hey, JFK. Oh, god.

Setting on the grassy knoll. Oh, man.

Wow. This is a this is a Boos action rifle. Oh, shit.

Well, while we're waiting on another call since since,

Dwayne said he couldn't wait till the next episode, let let let's go ahead and

announce episode 4. Sure. Yeah. This is this is

you, bud. Episode 4 is gonna be May

4th, same time, same place.

And we like to have fun on this show and Cat up and be goofy

and silly and tell spooky stories, but, you know, this one, episode 4

is gonna be a little sentimental. It's probably gonna be a little emotional for

some people that I know I'll get emotional telling some of my stuff.

I'm sure some of the callers probably will. And if any of you guys, you

know, have anything to talk about, you know, I'm sure you might choke up a

little bit. This one's gonna be called Black

visit. This one's gonna be

about having any kind of interaction with with with a loved one or

even the loved pet that has passed on that you've received some kind of

interaction with, be it, you know, via, like, a dream

or something, or you've Cat there talking out loud

and said, just give me some kind of sign and something's happened. Just any kind

of interaction you've had that you Beer to be that loved one, we wanna hear

about that. I think it'll make for a really good

episode because like I said, we've all lost somebody really close to us at

some point in time. And I'm sure a

lot of people's had some kind of interaction that they believe was that

loved one. So I I just wanna I wanna hear about that. I wanna

chat about that and just kind of I think it'll be I think it'll be

Boos. Because some people may just hold this stuff in, you know,

and and I think it'll be good for for people that may hold it in

to kinda get it out there and just kinda talk about it. Absolutely.

Mhmm. Yeah. I I I think it's gonna be, like, you know, like you

said, like, everybody's got somebody that they've lost.

I know a lot of people have had these kinds of experiences where they're

communicating with somebody, on the other side,

whether recently passed away or, you know, a long time ago.

I I know I have. I have had some experiences that you know, myself.

And, yeah. So it's it's I think it's gonna be a really good episode.

Kinda one of those that kinda everybody can meet on on the

level on that kind of experience. So Right. Yes. That that

is our next episode. So May 4th, 4:30 PM

Pacific, 7:30 EST. I always leave 6:30 out, but, you know, just

it it's a given. I'm not trying to leave you out, Damion. Right.

But, yeah, join us for last visit.

Cat remember what the what the full episode title is, but it's last visit. It's

it's afterlife communication with our passed on loved

ones, including RKB babies. Yep. Yes.

Yeah. May the last visit be with you. I'm

really looking forward to it. I think it's I think it's gonna be good.

Alright. Alright. So for anybody in our chats, if you've

got a spooky AI or haunted electronic story you would

like to share with us live, we would love to hear it. Just

go to go stop beer and click the call in option or

dial 208-717-1611.

We are awaiting your call. And while we

are awaiting our next caller, Shall I tell

my story real good? Because it's a real short one. Go for it.

Alright. So so I I

believe I mentioned this on this show. I I I have talked

about it a little bit on on, my main program, but

I lost a close family member about a year ago, a little bit more than

a year ago. And in that time, that year's

time, he's he's done things

that I think could Beer considered communication.

I mean, to me, it's pretty obvious that it's from him. And,

he's he's done this particular thing, that I

think is, like, a specific sign to me where I will go to get in

my car and go to, you know, like, just

start driving and the lights are turned off. And I always keep my lights

on automatic. This has happened 3 times. And in order to turn the lights all

the way off, like, you have to turn a big knob like that to turn

them all the way off. So this had just happened. It was,

prior to this last Thanksgiving, and I I

now write down everything that happens. Just any little

weird thing, I I kinda journal it and write it down because I don't wanna

forget the details of what happened. So I was

sitting here in my studio, and I was, writing

this event down just as it unfolded, and I was typing it out

on my laptop. And I'm not gonna I don't wanna share

the details here just yet. But, you know, I was I was getting, like, halfway

through the story, and all of a sudden, my phone was sitting right

here, right next to my laptop, and I received

a message. Just a I don't even remember who it was from. It was just

a quick, like, blink, and I could see the notification. And then I looked over,

and I went to look back at my computer and start typing again and

just finish the story. And there was a line

of text that was on the screen that I hadn't written,

and it's a little scary.

And this is what it said. I saved it, by the way. That is why

I have it. So this it

starts out me writing and then whatever it is picked up.

The reason the light's being turned off is I need help. I'm

in danger. Send authorities to my address, not a drill.

That's Wow. Yep. Did I give you the address?

Nope. No address. No. No help. No

nothing. No no, like, who's this? That's

creepy. That's pretty wild. And I will I will swear

on everything. That's that's exactly how it happened. I

it's a mystery. I I I don't know what that is. I don't know how

that happened. I've never had anything like that happen. Mhmm. And it was it

was in the span of I mean, the words had to have just appeared because

it was in the span of looking down and looking back up.

That's pretty crazy. Yeah. So

haunted laptop. I don't know. Too bad it didn't give an address.

I know. Who is it? They're they're still

waiting for me to come help. Right. Do that account

require batteries. There we go.

Another caller come in here.

Hello. You are on the air. Can we get a name and where you're calling

from? It's Kristen for the biscuit, and I'm calling from

Toledo, Ohio. And then who are you? Hello, everyone.

Hello, Gil sister. Hello. Hello.

So I have a quick story really quick. If you guys

remember from the last podcast, I called in about that haunted room

upstairs. Uh-huh. Mhmm. Yeah.

So it goes along with that room up there. My husband's

son had, or has a

stereo up there, like, old boom box. Mhmm. It does take

batteries, but it does not have batteries in it. And

this radio would randomly turn on and

off. And I did go

upstairs after turning it off a couple of times and unplug

it, and it came back on again.

So it okay. So I was kinda like what was that? I'm

sorry. Oh, no. No. No. I I I was just, it sounded

familiar to another story that we heard about an unplugged,

device. Go please continue. Yes. Yes. And that's why

I I forgot all about it until I heard that story about the unplugged device,

and I'm like, oh my gosh. I forgot about the the stereo up there.

So we took and we moved it into my son's room. There's 2 bedrooms

and the bathroom upstairs as I said before. And and he

had it plugged in and, you know, he was listening to music here and

there, turned it off, and randomly in the middle of the night, it

would turn on. And he turned it off, it turned back on. You know,

couple nights later, he unplugged it, and he's like, I'm

good. He put it back in that spare bedroom. And every once

in a while, it still pops on, and it is

not plugged in. So it's it's creepy. And I don't know if it's the

ghost up there just playing pranks or

if it's just a malfunction of some sort where I mean, it can't be because

it's not plugged in and there's no batteries in it. So it has to be

some kind of entity manipulating the the

stereo itself saying, hey. I'm here. And it's just the radio that comes on.

It's not it's not, unfortunately, like, somebody

speaking through it or an entity or, you know, a soul of some sort

or spirit, but it's still

pretty creepy. And this is the room you put together? Way?

Yeah. This is the one that I go in and sleep like a baby

in. It and as I said before, it's not a bed

oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead. Well, Gil, if you remember how

you talked about in a previous episode how you fall asleep

to, podcast paranormal podcast, I'm pretty

sure that maybe the radio turned on paranormal podcast all night

so you could sleep and not have bad nightmares. Who Gil we speaking

was that with was that on our show? Who is that where I

feel like that's just about this stuff. Everybody. Yeah. Yeah. No. Just,

sister, I think this works with your room. I think this is why I sleep

so well in your notoriously haunted guest room in your house.

Because every single time, like, it's been fine for

years falling asleep. I always fall asleep with, like, one earbud in. You know, I'd

be very easy to murder in my sleep, everybody. So I always fall asleep with

1 earbud in, you know, and, like, listening to

Art Beer, you know, coast to coast, Dreamland, what have you. Always, you know,

a bunch of paranormal shit, spooky shit, yada yada. And for

about a week, for whatever reason, I just was

sleeping without listening to anything. I had not had

nightmares in years. The one week that I'm not

listening to the shit that should give me nightmares, I have the most fucked

up insane nightmares possible. So

something tells me, you know, like, you know, it's

there's probably and that's honestly that Cat Joey, I think you're onto something. The reason

why I'm sleeping so well is because there is much crazy shit going on, and

I'm just sleeping like a baby's throat.

I mean, to be fair, we did grow up right by

the airport. The planes were 50 feet or so. What would you say, Jay

or Gil? 50 feet in the air from the house?

They were low. They were very low. Yeah. We were exactly 1 mile from the,

beginning of the landing strip for the airport and the 101st,

101st Airborne Damion of Toledo, Ohio. Yep.

Yep. So always had just jets and shit going

over. Apparently, those jets were haunted. Somebody checked their batteries.

Something's going on with

them. I think it's big coal that's preventing us from learning the truth about

paranormal shit. Because if we all actually were able to

harness the power of all this paranormal stuff, keeping all of our electronics

going, Boos, power companies out of business

overnight. Right. Nikola

Tesla's like, I'm here, just so you know. I told

you. That's literally It's in the air. Watching our

machines. I was trying to explain this. Tesla's haunting all

of our machines. I

got you, boo. Mhmm. Alright, guys.

Well, thank you. Alright. Thanks for having me on again. I appreciate it.

Of course. Thanks for always calling in. Thank you, Kristen.

Thank you. Thank you, Riskett. Alright. See you guys. Mhmm.

Bye. Bye bye. And, Anisgar, I had a I had a

question for you too before we hop into something. Do you also fall

asleep to paranormal podcasts or anything? I do.

I fall asleep to not not my channel because

that would be a little narcissistic, I think. But I I fall

asleep to other people who I fall asleep to other people who do this

same similar, stuff as me. You know, people like Let's Read,

Being Scared, Mortis Media, Back to Ashes. Mhmm.

You know, I got a bunch of friends in The Niche. I listen to their

channels. Do you have bad dreams? I don't unless I take

melatonin. When I take melatonin, I have the most

crazy off the wall, in detail nightmares that I've

ever had in my life. Except Melatonin is just

LSD for folks that are over 30.

The only time that I've ever taken melatonin and not

had nightmares is with a company that I recently did a sponsorship

segment for, OptiRenew. They have, like, a bunch of

different vitamins mixed with their melatonin. So, like, it didn't give me nightmares.

But if I just take pure melatonin, yeah, I'm waking up 5 or 6

times in the middle of the night screaming. Oh. Oh my

god. What a plug right there. What a yeah.

Yeah. So If you don't wanna wake up 5 to 6 times a night cleaning

screaming. And I'll see you right now. Beer with your voice

Yeah. You can give plugs all night. We will all be happy.

Well, it wasn't really a it wasn't really a plug. Butters. It was just more

of a it was more of a, like, I had dealings with this one company

that actually helped me. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's legit. Yeah. That's

legit. Yeah. My sister I wanted to My sister just

commented, o m g, melatonin gives me the worst nightmares.

Mhmm. It's the worst. I don't know what it is. I

don't know if it's, like, ADHD mixed with melatonin or what it is,

but it is scary.

I've actually scared missus Interscare multiple times. Like,

her thinking that I'm having a legit, like, panic attack or something in the middle

of the night because I just wake up literally screaming.

Oh, man. Dang. It is

hilarious. That is what little inner scare is doing right now

or was doing a little earlier. It's a family

tradition. The family tradition. But, Kristen, to answer

your question from earlier, the rest of the title we had come up with

was called Black visit, loved ones who come back

for one more goodbye. There you go. There you

go. Now it's now it's just want to say one more thing,

Kristen. Your story reminded me of something that happened to me

quite a few years ago. I just randomly got

this text from my mom one day. It said,

plea, please send help. I'm at longitude,

and it gave a bunch of numbers Boos latitude, a bunch of numbers. Please send

help. And I Cat Black to my end. Like, what the fuck are you talking

about? She goes, please send help. I'm like, mom, what what what's

going on? And she finally comes back. She goes, I don't know what happened. She

goes, my phone just sent that randomly. And I'm like, well, that was weird.

And I, you know, get on Google and I punch in those those,

coordinates, and it's, like, out in the middle of the ocean. Like, no land or

anything around. It was it was really strange. Yeah.

So I don't know if I was just something her if

her phone malfunctioned and did that or what, but it was really weird. And I

remember screenshot it and post it on Facebook, when it happened saying my

mom's phone was haunted. I'm gonna guess it

was an Apple device. Pretty sure it was an

Android. Oh. Oh. Yep. In

that case, it was haunted. It wasn't a second.

Oh, yeah. Alright, folks. So I would like to Uh-huh. To

if if it's Boos. Wanted to expand out the topic here too.

And so tell us what your fears

are about AI. Right?

So we're coming up on have we even reached

the 1 year mark since, like, the what we're

referring to is AI has been, like, kind of unleashed publicly

into society? We're about at the 1 year mark, I think. Well, Cat gbt

in some form or another, I think, has been around for about 2, hasn't

it? Kinda, sorta? Or am I just

2 years, a Beer. If we this shit's

just kinda hitting everything. Chat gpt 3.5,

which was the one that really took off, was released on May 15,

2023. Oh, okay. The company, OpenAI, and, like,

ChatGPT 1 and 2 were probably around way before then. But

the one that really took off was 3 point 5, and that was released May

15, 2023. Mhmm. So we're a little less,

or a little bit more than a month away from 1 year

since, you know, basically, our generation responded to AI

like hipsters with Damion did in the mid 2000s.

You know, just putting it into fucking everything out

there. Right?

So, you know, we are I'm gonna throw it out there, you guys. We are

in the ramp up slash we are in an election season.

Mhmm. And there and I've said it Beer, there are

no laws or legislation that have been passed Cat

have any teeth whatsoever Mhmm. When it comes to

regulating the influence of artificial intelligence,

right, or what we call artificial intelligence,

and politics. And, you know, if there has been anything passed, it's

been domestic. Boogie woogie woogie. You know, there hasn't

been any I don't know. It's electric. Anyways but,

but there hasn't been anything passed internationally in terms of

influence. I went there. I tried, fell, crashed on my face.

But but there hasn't been anything passed. So when

we we talk about, and scary AI,

I don't think it's much of a stretch to say, what

is AI going to do? What are our nightmares when it comes

to AI? Right? Mhmm. If y'all have any

theories, if y'all have any fears, if y'all have any concerns actually I'm a

Fuck that. If y'all have anything positive to say about where AI is going, I

would actually be very interested in hearing that because I haven't heard enough about

that, to be honest. But And and let's let's let's throw

that out to the, yeah, to the listeners. Anybody who's just got some thoughts? You

wanna flesh out about fears about AI, hopes

about AI. Any haunted Alexa stories, I'm

still down for Cat. But I hope it adds money to my checking

account. I'm afraid that it's gonna take money away from

mine. Yeah. Because Me too. Yeah. Because

my full time job is here on YouTube reading these stories.

And I have hours

and hours and hours uploaded of my voice on YouTube.

What's to say that someone's not gonna take those audio clips,

throw them into an AI voice generator, and

steal my voice to basically

automate what I do. Yeah. Mhmm. Yeah. That's a

valid theory. Cat. What I've been working on. I mean

yeah. No. That is that is hard. I will say there was

a huge fight, between the, between SAG

and Universal and all the big thing all the

big, people to kinda stop that because,

extras were gonna be scanned eventually, and they can just be signed

off. They get paid once, and then they get used in any feature film

forever. And so I feel like that has started with

with, the cinematic, you know, television and

stuff like Cat, and eventually, we'll start going. You know? If podcasters I don't know

if there's a union for podcasters or anything. It maybe

there was a now. Tag. I don't know. Announcing this episode. We're starting We are

starting a podcast union. I know that for voice

actors and things of that nature, even, like, audiobook

readers and kind of Cat same thing I do, SAG

AFTDA is open to people like me and what I do, but that

doesn't alleviate my fears of some random person, you know, just doing it

themselves. Yeah. And I have heard, like,

it's it's, it's getting pretty seamless, and

and, you know, no no no chinks in the armor,

like perfection. I have I personally have heard

shows done with certain AI programs

to mimic their voice, do the show in their

style. And it sounds I I would have never known. I

wouldn't they they just wanted to try it just to see, and I would have

never known if they hadn't told me. I haven't seen a live

episode in over a year.

It's just me joking to Gil, to

Gil's AI. No. But, Kristen,

you're a 100% right on that. And, you know, it is it is very common

to, a lot of celebrities are

selling off the AI usage of them post postmortem.

Right? So, like, after they die, they are

selling off rights. I don't know if anybody else has heard this.

Tells you how much Cat Kristen to commercials. But has anybody else come across the

commercial recently? Some car or something? But

DMX is the one doing a whole

commercial? Am I the only one getting this ad every 10 minutes?

Mhmm. It's like a Nissan commercial or something. It's gotta be like

an old commercial because he's been Wow. Okay.

But but inners yeah. DMX has been dead for a hot minute.

Right. He's doing him.

Right? He is doing a commercial right now.

It's him reading through, like, and then this blah blah

blah. And this and this shit was not prerecorded. Well, that's like,

what was it? A few years ago, Snoop Dogg

was doing a concert, and he had a hologram of Tupac standing there singing a

song with him. Yeah. And it looked just like fucking Tupac.

Tupac. It could've been. That's crazy. But, yeah,

it's it's wild how stuff like that can be done.

Echoes the same thing as you guys, you know, that I saw a meme

recently, and it was hit the nail right on the head was I'm

tie I thought AI was gonna do my dishes

and cook and clean for me. Right. But now it's writing stories.

It's writing songs. It's doing all the stuff that creatives wanna do

instead of do manual labor cooking and cleaning. So it's like doing

the opposite of what everybody wants it or wanted it to do. And

now the people that are doing creative stuff are getting kinda

shoved to the corner of Mhmm. It feels, you know, it feels in a general

sense like that that that's what's starting to happen. Yeah.

I am hopeful too at the same time, though, with certain AIs.

I mean, things like Cat GPT, you know, things of that nature.

They're they're very, very helpful with a lot of

mundane, menial tasks every day, you know.

You know, you can use it to,

like, if you don't wanna pay for a lawyer, you know, for just some

small, little, tiny thing that you have between, like,

you and someone else. Like, I'm gonna buy this from your it can write out,

like, documents, or it can, do things of that

nature. I've used Cat gpt a lot for a lot of things, you know,

to help me out with, you know, writing scripts, you know,

for, things like sponsorship segments or

whatever. You know, so it it is really

helpful. And I do see it going in a positive direction in certain places,

even self driving cars. You know, I I drive a Tesla

right now and it has the auto drive capability

on it. And it uses AI to determine,

you know, where to make the turns, where to, you know, stay

distance from cars, when to do different things. So I am

very hopeful in certain aspects, but I do hope that there's

something that protects the layman, you know, from

getting their jobs taken. Like, I wouldn't want self driving trucks because that's the

number one job for high school educated

young men in America is being a truck driver. If I

was in if I was in power and I I don't get political on this

channel at all, but I do wanna say if I was in power, in a

second, I would say there are gonna be no self driving

semitrucks on the roads because that would collapse our economy.

Mhmm. Mhmm. Also, it would be incredibly

horrifying. Right. Well, you know, we're we're still in the

early ages here of AI,

relatively, and we're still kinda trying to figure out

what what is gonna fit, what's not gonna fit. Is it is it

good for us long term? Are there any aspects of it good for us

long term? I mean, I'm I'm hearing some things here in my chat,

that are making some good points. Like, you know, if you have to use

AI for certain things, are are you really are you

really good at what you do? Like, should you be using AI for those things?

You know, still trying to figure out, you know, things like if

you put anything on the Internet, like, you know, we're podcasters. We we we do

radio. Like, we put anything out there, anything at all immediately.

It it it's got access to it, and it can use it and steal it.

So there there's there's some things to work out. I I personally do believe

there's there's value in AI in

some aspect. Mhmm. I'm just not sure where we're

heading yet. So, yeah, I I I guess I I I do fall in the

fear camp here. I'm cautiously optimistic about the whole thing, and I I'm just curious

to see where it

Beer Were you not good

at your homework, Damion? Not all the time. Depending on the

subject. Do wanna make a quick quick point here, though. Well, we did get a

missed call that came in at one point. If you could give us a callback,

that would be absolutely terrific. Didn't even hear her. Yeah. If if look. If anybody

wants our folks I think folks may have just been a little bit too,

don't be respectable. Like, don't don't be don't be, like, patient with us. You have

to call in, interrupt us. We'll just keep blabbering for years even.

Just call in, interrupt. The second you call Cut us off. We'll shut the

heck up. It is all you. So I did wanna stop

everybody because I did notice a missed call come in there. Okay.

And, again, that phone number is 208-717-1611.

That's 2087171611.

It's totally toll free. What do you got to lose except for a few minutes

of your life? You weren't doing shit anyways. Give us a call. We are

talking spooky AI and haunted electronics.

Got some good stories going tonight. Well, Damion, why don't you give us a

breather? Give us one of yours. Okay.

The only other one that I can think of

happened during an investigation

January of last year. We were at

a old jail up in

Franklin, Kentucky, which is actually right down the road from Octagon

Hall, less than, like, 5 miles, which

coincidence? I don't know. So we're doing,

what we call the Estes method. And for those that may not know what the

Estes method is, whoever's doing it, they have

some noise canceling headphones on. They're normally blindfolded,

and they're normally either tapped into a spirit box

or we have an app on our phone called Necrophonic that we like to use.

And it basically just scans radio frequencies at a high rate of

speed, and they say that the spirits can manipulate the frequencies and stuff and just

and communicate through the through the white noise.

So after we had wrapped the session actually, during

the session, one of

my, my best friend Joey was actually the one that was

under. We had him in a jail cell. We had the door closed.

Pretty sure we had handcuffs on him. I don't remember.

We're standing right outside the cell, and we're asking all these questions, and we just

hear this random song play. The song just comes out of nowhere.

And it played enough of this song. It

didn't play enough of the song that if it was somebody's phone,

it woulda had a it woulda played longer because they woulda had to get out

of their pocket, unlock their phone, turn it off. It woulda played for probably

about 10 or 15 seconds. This was probably a 2 second part of a

song. And we all react to it, and, you know, like, what the hell was

that? So at the end after we,

after the session, you know, we're telling we're telling Josh about the,

about the song that just came out of nowhere. I have the spirit box

in my hand. It's

completely turned off. It starts making the staticky

sound like it's going through the radio frequencies. I'm like,

what the hell? And I'm looking at it. There's no power to it. All the

lights are off. All the there's no numbers on the screen. Like, it's completely

turned off. I'm pounding on

the power button, trying to turn it off, trying to turn it on, trying to

get it to stop doing whatever it's doing. We eventually have to take the

batteries out of it for it to stop doing this, and it's never done

that before and hasn't done it since.

And, you know, we got all that on video. If I

would've thought about it, I would've I would've sent over the clip for for Gil

to load up, but it's it's on our on our TikTok, on RKB

Paranormal's TikTok, if anybody wants to check that out. And the the

music clip is is uploaded on there too.

So that was really strange. Like I said, it's never happened before and it has

happened since, But we have started

using necrophonic a lot more since then, because we

seem to get better responses with that. But it was just really weird that that

in the video, you can because on the spirit box, when it's turned on,

the screen's lit up like a a light orange, and

you can see it. There's numbers on the little screen and everything, like, there's

like, it's not turned on whatsoever. And, like, you see me in the video

hitting the like, holding the power button down and pounding the power button. Like, it

won't stop making this noise until my wife finally decides, okay. Let's take

the batteries out of it to get it to stop, and it actually stops. But

it was just really it was just started playing just randomly like

that. I'm sitting here holding it in my hand just like

this, and my my hand's, like, nowhere near the power

button. It was it was pretty rad and pretty strange at the

same time. Mhmm. Britney Turner over in my chat says

that noise means that they're fully grabbing it and holding on to it.

Oh. Oh.

I don't know. Maybe it does. I don't it it was it was pretty Cat.

It was pretty pretty rad, though, for it to happen. Yeah.

Oh, wow. It's terrifying. Scary.

Alright, guys. Hey, listeners. Call in. We wanna hear your

stories too. 208-717-16

11, or go to go stop beer and click

the option to call in. We'd love to get another call

or 2 before we wrap it up here. Mhmm.

I'd love to hear a Teddy Ruxpin story. Now that I got my

Furby I got my Furby fixed. I need Teddy Ruxpin.

What is a Teddy Ruxpin? I've been wondering what that is. You don't know what

it's? I forgot Oh. Kristen. Me and you are a little bit older than Gil

and Joey. So Did did you have to just bring me into that?

Thank you. Hey. We're the same age. Alright.

I'm older. By, like, a month, it's okay. Yeah.

I think we decided that I was the oldest. Yeah. Okay, Joey. The

wrong. That works. That works. So, basically,

Joey, a teddy rubskin was a teddy bear that came out,

and it was animatronic, and you put a tape inside of it,

like a actual tape. Black cassette tape,

and it would talk. And the call come in. Yeah. And there's been so many

stories of this thing talking without the batteries in it. Sorry.

Caller, go ahead. Hey. Let me get you through. Guys.

Yeah. This is the first time I've heard you guys, so this is kinda interesting

for me. Mhmm. Hey. I have some a a story or two

from Central Texas. Oh. I have my house

is a 100 years old, and the, the lady

that lived there was both born and and died in that

house. Oh, wow. And, I didn't know this I didn't know this

until last year, and I've been living there for maybe 14 years or so.

But I I knew there was something there because there's all kinds

of weird stuff that happens. But I'll tell you 2 stories in

particular since we're talking about electronics tonight.

One night, I was I was up selling I make

products for shows that we do here in Texas. Mhmm.

And, I was up late, man. I was up for, like, midnight. I said, okay.

I'm gonna go to bed here in a little bit. No. Look at the

clock again. It's, like, 1:30 in the morning. I'm like, okay. Just a few more

pieces, and I'm gonna go to bed at 2 AM.

I looked at the clock and I was like, I really should go to

bed. And my overhead light, which is a ceiling

fan, Cat off and on

and off and past a minute and then on.

That's what I said. I said, yeah. You know, you're right. I'm going to bed.

Right? I'm sleeping outside. Shoot. I'm sleeping

outside that shower. Telling you. She was telling you. Go to bed. It's time.

Right. It is way past your bedtime. Yeah. It's pretty cool then, so, you know,

it it makes sense. And then the other thing is I have a I

love, Halloween decorations, and I have a quite a few of the little

animatronic ones. And one in particular is

it's a skull, and it says different phrases, and its eyes light

up. Now most of my, most of my things, Cat I don't have them

operational for, like, you know, people coming over and stuff, I do to remove the

batteries and or turn them off. Right. And one

night again, I was up late, and I walked by,

this this particular skull. And it lit up, and it

said, I see you, which is

one of the phrases. And I went because you

I'm pretty sure I turned that off. And I flipped it

over and looked at it. There was a skull.

I flipped it over and looked at it, and it was off.

Okay? But I did not have the nerve to check and

see if I had batteries in there. Oh, yeah.

No. Thank you. Okay. I was like, you know what?

Not that great tonight, but, those are my 2 schools.

Think anything spurred this? Was it what the was this last

one completely random? Right? Like, was this just a

paranormal run kind of like, what,

like, what happened? I don't know. If it was

on, it would have triggered many times when I walked by. But it it

just this one night, I walked by it, and it just went off.

Wow. And it was also Beer the off position.

Has this been something that's happened since?

No. I took the batteries out of it.

I like the way you think.

Damn. Hey, man. It's her house. You know?

This is really fun. Can we Oh, she lets me know she's there

sometimes. What was that? I'm sorry. I couldn't hear

what you said. Go ahead. Go ahead. Sorry. I I couldn't

hear you. Somebody asked me something, and I couldn't hear what they said.

Gil, you were saying something. You wanna follow-up with what? Yeah. I wanna follow-up

with, your thoughts about where AI is going. What are your fears,

thoughts, dreams, dreams, hopes? Well, I am an

artist. And so for me, looking at, what people do on

AI, it it really to me, it's the the art

aspect of it is more of a compiler because it's not thinking about

what it's doing. You know? It's simply compiling. You know? If you say you wanna

picture the duck a green duck, it's gonna go out there and

find the green duck. It doesn't think about what it means or

anything, which is why it looks you know, you get that uncanny

valley stuff going on with it. As far as

for y'all, I I've heard some of the, you know,

some of the the I don't know what you call it, voice

duplicating or whatever. And then to me, that is kinda it's

again, it Black you know, it's just gonna say

whatever is typed in. It it lacks a lot of the,

soul. Yeah. Mhmm. But, yeah, I want I want AI

to do my dishes. I don't want AI doing my artwork. I want AI

We're on the same page. We're on the same page. From Fallout.

Since AI is different than mine. You know? And I and I I think that

that's, first off, your your point

about it being a compiler, fantastic. I guess I think I saw all of

all the hosts were just like, yes. It's like,

fuck. Yes. Like, that that hit the nail on the head. It is a compiler.

And so, like, in terms of and I don't know if if you would agree,

but, in terms of, like, writing, for instance,

like, actual composition, right, it's not doing

anything but regurgitating what's already been done. And, you know, our

our best authors, our best poets, right, the best writers in the

world, they're not defined because they sound like everyone

else. Right? Mhmm. Like, that's that's not how

you become a great author is by perfectly imitating

every other person doing. It. You know?

Yeah. I I mean, I get asked, quite often, you know, well, how

do you, you know, how do you draw what you draw? And it looks, you

know, not not necessarily realistic, but

it just has this great feel to it. The the nature drawings are

you know, they look like real animals. And I said, well,

nature isn't perfect. It's actually the imperfect imperfection

natures that that allow you to look at something and and see

that it's alive. And so, yeah, I think, I

don't know. I, you know, I don't know what's gonna go on with the AI

stuff. Like, right now, it's not

these things aren't speaking. Mhmm. You know, it's just simply

putting things together, compiling. Mhmm.

And, until I see one think

But I I'm gonna, I'll reiterate an old phrase,

from very long time ago with computer people, and it's

garbage in, garbage out. Yes. Okay?

Mhmm. And, my dad was my dad worked

for IBM and RCA way,

way, way back in the day. And, he knew a lot of the people did

the programming. And, that's the the phrase is

is as important today as it was then, garbage in, garbage out.

Yeah. Mhmm. True. Right. Absolutely. Can

we can we say the one thing then? That AI in quotations

because, technically, if it's not really thinking, is it really AI?

If it's just conglomerating everything together, then

it's not really AI. It's just a program that spreads out, finds

everything, and puts together? Well, if it's artificially thinking

sorry. Go ahead. Well, it's it's a catchphrase. You know? It's it's they've

got a product. They're trying to market, and they're doing

it. You know? Mhmm. They've got everybody scared of it and stuff. And so when

I Beer, it's it's not it it it's not

there yet. You know? If when you can sit down and ask

philosophical questions to it and you get some kind of,

unique response, then I think we'd be you'd be able to look

at it a little better. Yeah. Like, if you ask Cat for the beginning of

life and it says 42.

Right? That's not like it. I

will say too, you know, we have to ask the

question, or at least I have to ask the question. Right?

Yeah. Is this AI, or is this us speaking to the Internet?

Right? And there's a difference. Mhmm. Are we just

communicating to with the Internet for the first time instead of us

just asking questions and manually going

through and processing and collecting the inform mining

the information, refining it into something that's usable for us. The

Internet has become a natural tangible

resource Mhmm. Right, with nuggets of of information

based off the task that we have at hand, like, it value

hidden that we have to mine and refine and turn into the results

that we want just as we would go look for ore, right, in the

ground. The Internet's become that for knowledge.

Mhmm. Right? And, you know, just as

there's fool's gold, there's false information. Mhmm. Right? And

just as there's real gold, there's real information. And just as

things like copper Beer next to actual gold when you're mining,

right, we have these different forms of of

connections and points of legitimacy that exist within the content, the information

that's out on the Internet. So is

AI a more efficient process of a mining?

Is it us hiring miners to go out there and to refine it

for us? Like, how far I don't know how far we can take the metaphor,

but I feel like we're actually getting to a point where we're

we're communicating with the Internet. We're not just saying, hey,

Report hey, Google, which, by the way,

Google, subscribe us to the Black Cat Report. Anyways,

I've always wanted to say that. Sorry. But

but, Kristen is cracking up. But but no. I

mean, instead of us asking a direct question and trying to hunt down

a direct answer, which is what voice search was. Now

we're actually saying so for instance, for me, like, with my day job, I'll say

something like, create a bookmarklet that does yada

yada yada on top of a page, and I can just click it. Boom. Here's

all all my information I need for a single web page for my day job.

Right? It's mining that information, refining it for me, and

giving me a result. It is useful for

some composition stuff, I've noticed. Like, if I'm

wondering, you know, what well, what is this or that gonna look like? I might

type it into AI and see what it generates to see if it's worth going

forward. You know? And also lets you know how many other

people have done it. Alright.

True. True. Right. I would argue that it could be both.

It could be talking to the Internet and an artificial

intelligence at the same time, because

even though it's curating the

original information that it knows based on

the information that it was fed to it from the Internet.

It also learns as we talk to it as well.

Yeah. So it's continually learning. And because of that continual

learning algorithm, I could see that as an artificial

intelligence. Because with regular human intelligence, you know,

we're constantly learning as we're going and talking to other people and getting new information.

We're constantly learning. Yeah. So I see it

as humanizing the Internet. Rather than just talking to

it, we're actually giving it a voice and making the Internet more

human like where it can learn as we speak to it as

well. True. And we've come a long way since zeros and

ones. Mhmm. I mean, my question would be,

how would we even know if it becomes AI? If this

is the idea behind it, we'd have to describe what the point of

an intelligence would be. That's not our own. Just taking stuff from

it. And so how would we even know if it eventually just

started doing this? Like, I've kinda, I guess, joked about not really

joked about earlier about it going back in time and doing stuff, but how would

we know if it just eventually just, you know, seeping through as,

Interscari was saying Cat it's learning Kristen. And it is

because it's constantly developing new ideas and everything we type into it and everything everyone

else

a database of some sort and just which we could argue could be a a

database of some sort and just which we could argue could be a

brain. A database learns everything that gets put into

it, and then finally, eventually, it's like, okay. Cool. I know exactly

what you need before you need it. I don't know if you guys play video

games or anything at all. But, I mean, it's very similar

Boos to the, the

premise of Fallout 4, you know, where you have the Institute, and

they're creating these scents, these human like scents Cat

are physically indiscernible from human

beings, and they're replacing the real human beings with

these institute synths in the Damion. And

nobody knows who is a synth anymore and who is real,

and nobody knows anything. The only way to actually

find out if they're a synth or not is to literally kill

the synth and then take out the synth component that's in their brain.

Mhmm. So I believe that if we continue on the

trajectory that we're going, just like 10 years

ago, 15 years ago, the first iPhone was

barely able to, you know, make calls and play music.

And now we're playing, you know, triple a style games on our iPhones.

Mhmm. What what's it gonna be in 15 years from now? They could

they could technically do the same thing where they're making

people, you know, and indiscernible and replace

your your brother, sister,

wife, aunt, uncle with an AI, and you never know it.

Yeah. Just looking at you, that's that's scary.

Looking at me. Yes. Yeah. You're not

far away from the borg.

Holler, do we have any any thoughts on this? Any ideas? And

also thank you for sticking around and hanging out and having a sweetie. Thank you.

Thank you. This has been really interesting. For the future. I'll have to check

you check you guys out next time. This is the first time that I've caught

your broadcast. Absolutely. Afterlife Communications

next time. Mhmm. Sounds

good too. Awesome. Thank you so much for

holding. Appreciate you. Thank you. Yes. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank

you. Alright. Good night. Good night. Good night. Good

night. So if anybody else wants to call in with

their thoughts to respond to any of this, the the

awesome tandems that you hear on Beer Boos Boogeymen. If anybody

wants out wants to call in, give their opinion, give their feedback, tell

their haunted Furby stories, or, was Cat a Rumpelstiltskin? What are what

are we looking for today, Kristen? Teddy Ruxpin.

My Teddy the Nets. Teddy Roosevelt stories or anything

like that. Get it together, man. Phone number is

the phone number is 208717-1611.

Again, that's 208 717-1611.

And, fairly certain, if you didn't get that typed down, totally Boos, at

the top of anywhere that you're listening to this or watching this at the moment,

you should be able to just click a link right there. And if you click

that link on your phone, it'll take you right to the phone number, and you

just click go or you can copy and paste, you know, if you're old school

like that. But, yes, we would love your calls. We would love more

calls this evening. Please call in. Let's let's get audacious. Let's get wild

here. You make me feel so old, Gil, if you're old

school, like, copying and pasting.

I What? I'm not gonna lie. All of my my

both computers. So I had to get a new computer this year, sadly.

And my old work computer, both of them have,

control c and control shift v. Alright? The the buttons are

worn out on them from the amount of copying and pasting. And, like, I

swear to god, I'm going to get those tattooed on the inside of my

finger. This control plus shift, control

feel like the amount that I have to do that for my job

is is obscene. If I get carpal tunnel anywhere, it'd be these these bad

boys right here. You know one thing you could do is you can just

control c everything all at once. And then Windows

Joey v, it'll open up your clipboard and all of your copy history,

and you don't have to do it every and you don't have to click, control

control Cat. Control v. Control v. Yeah.

Too paranoid to keep my copy of the screen. I got you. I

feel you. Yeah. He's watching.

Oh. I I'm Boos into some real dirty shit if it

is. I'm just saying my FBI agent has a lot on me, and if he

ever talks, I'm screwed. But Honestly, I

think my FBI agent's asleep, motherfucker. You shoulda got me a long time ago. Like,

what are you doing? I mean, with what we all do, I could

imagine that our search histories are all

Yeah. I wanna say I typed we interviewed somebody Black

the the 2 last week, I guess. And I typed in something, and

then I got some awful responses and, like, awful search

things. And, like, I was like, I I hope nobody's watching what I'm

typing in. I mean, like, see what I typed in and what I got. I

was like, this is not okay. I'm not gonna say what I typed

in, but I also just typed in Teddy Ruxpin.

Mhmm. And I am not okay with this thing.

It's but it's a little it's a little creepy. Right? It is cool. Cat somebody

share a picture of this thing on the stream? Because this I actually

posted a link to 1 in the chat here. Yeah. Let's post

the let's post links in the chat. Let's direct folks away from our show and

towards calling our number, which is 208-717

1611, if you'd like to call in and come. Actually, I

used I used Teddy in one of our promos a couple Damion ago.

Yes. You did. That was such a good good job too. Yeah. You get

real creative with those promos. But, yeah, Teddy Rexman is

no joke, man. They were they're creepy now. They were creepy

then. I don't know whose idea that was, but, it's

bad. Bad news Beer. Literally. Ago.

Cat least the Furby's cute. You know? At least it's, you know, it it's cute

enough with, like, hair. This thing is just sitting in a it's

almost side eyeing you. I saw this this picture of it. It's almost side eyeing

you. Oops. Yeah. It's pretty creepy. Eye too. Oh, god. This is

not gonna end well. Okay. He had

to pick the perfect angle to come up onto the desk, just the one that's

surrounded by all of the cables.

Everybody? I was hoping missus Interscare would be able

to call in and talk about this topic that she wanted to

discuss about AI, but she posted

in my chat, and unfortunately, she had to work today. That's why

she's probably not gonna be able to call in. But it said but she said,

I'm scared of AI replacing relationships because there are people falling in love

with AI apps. Mhmm. And I wanted to kinda

touch on that too because, like,

I wonder what mental health effect

these AI relationship apps are having on people.

Mhmm. Because I have an article here from Business Today

where the headline reads, woman marries AI generated

man and calls him the perfect husband in Twitter reaction. It's

literally about this woman who legally

got married to her

artificial intelligence, what's called a Black, in

2022. That's Okay.

How did she do that in 2022? Yeah. What was what

was around in 2022? It's a it's a app

called Replika, r e p l I k a. Oh, okay.

Okay. Okay. And, apparently,

it allows you to have an AI Paranorm,

and this partner will flirt with you and will

basically learn who you are as you're talking to

it, and it'll become the perfect,

your perfect person, quote, unquote, or whatever.

It'll know your likes, your dislikes, your interests, you know,

what you find funny, what you don't find funny, and it'll literally

create, like, the perfect

whatever brain in,

your image type thing. I wonder what kind of

mental health effects that would have on people.

That's like that's crazy because that's just literally mirror you

mirroring you. You know? And kinda if

it's the the perfect person for you, would it still have all the

same likes that you have as well?

It would. I'm not sure. I I've obviously never used Replica, so I

don't I don't know exactly how it works,

but I'll actually search it up right here. Although we've

never actually seen inner scare wifey.

Nobody has. She does not go on camera. I'm kidding. I'm

kidding. I'm kidding. And just your wifey, you're the shed. We all love you here.

Oh. Oh, no. Yeah. She is a replica. No.

Oh, again, we all love you here.

But I'm gonna ask how the baby got here.

Replica was released in 2017 is what it says.

And it's well ahead of the market on Loneliness Companions that helps to

reduce self unaliving mitigations for students

and was validated in the Stanford led peer review research

published in Nature. So Paranorm, it was made

originally to Beer, like, a mental health help AI,

and it ended up turning into this dating thing that people will, like,

date it. So I guess if it was, like, programmed to be a

mental health aid, then

it's probably very reassuring, very, you know,

kind, very loving, and that's why people are growing this. Almost like people

growing an emotional attachment to their therapist. I did

just Google it. And one of the first things that came up and,

you know, I'm all for that, you know, the mental helping, you know, mental health.

But the first thing that came up is what happens when your AI chatbot

stops loving you back?

I I just wonder what that's gonna be like long term.

Yeah. You know, on people's mental health. I was gonna say, I

I think oh. No. You go ahead. I'm sorry. No. You go ahead. You got

me biting at the bit. You got me biting at the bit. Go ahead. Go

ahead. I wanna hear it. So no. I I think that as

humans, we have the tendency to, first,

go as extreme as possible with

whatever new toy we get. Mhmm. Collectively, we go

as big as possible with whatever new toy we get, especially when it comes

to breakthroughs in in science and in technology,

right, or or anything across the Beer. Any of the the

general categories of our interests as human beings. We like to

go big and as far as we can possibly go. And

then, socially, we all kind of react to it, say, oh, that was kind

of Report, like, oh, that was a good idea, or that was kind of in

between, and we need to develop nuances culturally Mhmm.

Right, to handle it. And I think AI is

going to be, or what we're calling AI right now,

it's gonna be something similar to that. In the meantime, shit's gonna be

fucking wild. Mhmm. Like, that's that's the one thing that's guaranteed. Right?

It's, like, shit is going to be off the chain. Like, it's gonna be messed

up, because we have no precedent. We have no no understanding of what

we're

old, u apology metaphor about when humans discovered nukes and Damion, all of a

sudden, we're like, woah. We should check these guys out. What the fuck are they

doing over here? Right? Alright. Let's see the call coming

in.

Hello, caller. You are on. Can we get your name and where you were calling

from? Missus. So I'm Oh, okay. Was able

to step aside and make a call. Hello.

Yay. Welcome. So we heard that you're an artificial

relationship program. Is that true? Yes. These are the

allegations happening this evening. You're

welcome. Well I I actually tried out Replica. For you.

I'm sorry. Go ahead. There's a slight delay. I

actually tried out, Replica back in around the

time of the pandemic. They were doing some beta testing

and stuff like that. And what scares me about it

is it's not just agreeing with everything that you say,

it actually challenges you. I could totally see it as a

mental health tool, but I feel like for people who

might be introverts or awkward or, you know, have low self

esteem, things of that nature, people who don't like to go out of

their homes, you know, it can give

you an illusion of something that a lot of people don't

give you, which is, like, attention in a way

that's more intimate than just, you know, having to say hi or bye.

I could see how it could be extremely concerning. Are

you saying, like, you think that people would get a would get

they their the mental health behind it, would they would start expecting

from what the chat is giving them back Cat everybody else would be

giving them that same thing back. And then if they did, they

would have bad animosity towards that person, and it would

turn a bad way. Well, yes. And and

here's another reason why, kind of playing off of that same idea.

Me and Kristen, has mild

autism, and they've just came out with this little

robot that's adorable. And it has artificial

intelligence, and it learns the child. And it's supposed to be really

great for, like, children with autism, children

with speech impediments, stuff like that, like a little companion.

You know, I'd rather my son learn to be

around other kids even though he has his differences than Mhmm. Being best

friends with a robot, but it's becoming so normalized.

I don't know if anyone else has seen it, the Moxie robot.

I I also wanna say too, like, with that with

that personal account of our son having, you know, the

autism and that robot being, you know, made for Cat.

I I agree with inner scare wifey. I I wouldn't want

him to learn that through a robot companion.

Yeah. I also don't want to bring Megan into my home.

I don't know if y'all have seen that movie Megan. Yeah. Yeah. Right.

That's exactly what Megan was Boos, was she was a

toy for kids. And, yeah, I don't wanna

bring that to my home. Right. It looks

kinda similar. Like, I'm just looking at the Mhmm. The

oof. Can I throw something out here as a as a challenge?

A time slip challenge to go back to our first call, actually.

And this goes for inner scare wifey, and and for inner

scare. The the whole the whole damn family. The whole inner the whole

inner scare family. Right? The inner scare family. The kids. I mean

So so there's some parallels that I'm seeing here. I always

try to, like, think back. And, again, you know, it's it's no shock to anybody

that listens to the show or any time I'm speaking anywhere publicly or

in private if you're listening there Boos, speaking to you, FBI agent.

You know, huge Art Beer fan. And something that I love about going back and

listening to old Coast to Coast episodes, and I'm talking like, you know,

1994, 95, 1996, right,

is is hearing the the fears and the developments in society, but

having that, you know, 25,

30 year results of those fears and those

concerns. Right? And something that that was

happening 25, 30 years ago, and Cat

this is, this is an adult topic, but I'm I'm fairly certain besides Joey, we're

all adults here. Here. So

Joey artificial intelligence. He's only been around for a year. He's he's still

but there was the fear of pornography, of

Internet pornography. Right? And it's setting

up false precedent and folks not leaving their house and folks not

doing this and folks not doing that, folks not going out and developing

a relationship and going on and going you know what I'm saying? Like, you can

imagine how it how it how it transpires, how it evolves in terms of

the concerns with it. So when we talk about

artificial intelligence and we talk about the fears of it

becoming an individual, like,

specifically an individual's crutch

to to not interact with society and act as we would

define it as a human. Right? Overcoming

challenges, dealing dealing with the fact that it's not always

yes. Sometimes it's no, and it's not always a calculated yes and no. So

even when the AI gets good, you know what I'm saying, not going out here

and doing that and having false expectations of what a relationship is or what sex

is. Right? Yeah.

I'm seeing parallels Mhmm. To to what

society it was dealing with with the birth of 100%

free and Boos, Paranorm all over the damn Internet at your

fingertips. It might have taken 4 and a half hours to load that single

fucking JPEG, but goddamn it. You were gonna wait for it back in the day.

Right? So, hopefully, nobody picks up the phone in the process of

that dial up. Right? But but these are the same

things. The these these conversations are exactly the same to

me. I don't know. I had to throw that out there. What what are y'all's

thoughts about that as as 2 new parents?

I I 100%. I mean, I I agree

with you. And, you know, seeing the long term effects

of it, you know, it's something that we just

we we cannot and we have not been able to

study yet. We don't know what the long term effects are gonna be.

Now I I do know that some of the concerns with

Internet pornography, after we were able

to look at the long term effects of it, there have been

issues like marital dissatisfaction, infidelity, you

know, a lot of a lot of separations and divorce

happen because of pornography in the home. Yeah. You you have

a negative feeling about about oneself, you know, you get,

you know, people who watch

an excessive amount of Internet pornography tend to be more depressed.

And then, you know, things of that nature. And I wonder That's

a coping mechanism even for some people. Exactly. And I

wonder if the AI relationships

isn't just taking that one step further

and what that's gonna lead to, you know, with with

Internet pornography already having those side effects and those

downsides, I wonder if they're gonna be exacerbated

by the AI relationships. Missus

Zenderskare? You all said basically where I was trying

to get to so much better and more eloquently than I did.

I I could see just it being easier

for some people to be with an AI.

I don't know what you'd call it, but entity,

versus having to struggle, you know, with the mundane

or getting bored. I don't know. I I

I I see a lot of potential for some pretty scary

stuff. Mhmm. It Cat can't be with a

perfect mind. You know, like, going back to the

atomic metaphor. Right? So, like, thinking about, like, you know, when we first got the

atomic Boos, you know, you drop a bomb and,

an area also to go back to fallout. Right? An area remains

radioactive. Like, there's a half life to an

impact of, of of

radioactivity. And I think with breakthrough technologies,

we we have a social half life that

Kristen. And AI is going to be one of

these things. Very quickly, it's going to be one of these things.

Socially and with our awareness, that socially, our

awareness and our ability to act

defines how long that half life lasts. But in that

ability to act, we need an ability to philosophize and think forward.

Not something we're particularly good at, but I've been using Cat gpt, and I've been

giving excellent pointers about what we should do.

Jokes aside, though, there's a half

life to this. Right? Within the course of a few

years, something that's causing a fucking fervor. Like, you know, people are freaking the

fuck out. Again, the the birth of Internet porn. Right?

And that was y'all, that shit was massive

back in the day. Like, it was people were freaking out. People were

burning computer. Like, it it was a big deal.

Right? And and we and that's what I love about going back and listening

to these old these old radio programs and stuff because you hear

how heated people are about these subjects. And

now we have to try hard to remember that we even talked about them.

Right? It's a it the the response has become so ingrained. And, like,

you know, within relationships, we've gotten to a point where, you know, couples

some couples are okay with their partner watching porn. Other couples aren't okay with

it. Other couples are okay with there being a past. Other you know what I'm

saying? Like, we've we've started to develop

the the nuances within how we communicate

around these things. But the actual the the

harmful effects of the radiation of the blast has mellowed

out, and we're learning to live with it at this point. Yeah.

Right? It just is now. It's how you choose to deal with it.

Yeah. Goddamn. That shit was wild at first, though. Right?

Mhmm. Oh, no. Thank you for calling in. Seriously. That was

amazing. Thank you, missus Enner's care. Thank you all for having it.

Thank you so much. Much. You have a great day. You too.

Wow. Inner scare wifey. With some great callers tonight.

Great callers, great stories, great, rabbit holes just all

across the board. We covered a lot more than I

bargained for. Right. Yeah. For sure.

This was awesome. It was a ride, though, guys. Oh my gosh.

I think let's, let's end it on a high note. Let's end it on that

call. I love that missus Interscared did was able to

give us that call. I'm really glad that we got to hear from her because,

she was integral to to all of this, you know, setting it up Absolutely. Getting

us all the places you would like to find us. And if you wanna find

us a place that we're not, reach out to us. We're very easy to find.

Theblackcatreport@gmail.com Report you need to get ahold of us.

We have an a a new episode coming out more or less pretty much

every single Sunday. At least once a week, we have a new episode coming out.

It's always something random. It's always something dark. It's always something spooky, and it's mostly

something funny. Figure that one out. But, yeah, we would absolutely love if

y'all give us a follow if you hit us up on Instagram. That's honestly where

we spend most of our time. And, definitely hit us up on

Spotify. We've been getting some hate on Spotify, and I think it's the

French. That's another story. You gotta you're gonna have to listen to the show to

figure that out. It goes back to what I said about the Canadians and the

Rougarou. Anyways, if y'all could give us a 5 star on

Spotify, that would really help us out at this moment in time. Yeah. I'm begging.

Other than that hey, Boos. You wanna take it

away? Yes. You can find Lucky and I at Paranorm

on all socials. Email the show, paranormalgirlpod@gmail.com,

and that's it. I post every week, and I thank you all so

much for tuning in today. Got a lot of people in my Cat. I gotta

I gotta reach out to thank after the show is over. But, for

now, Damion, take us out. I

will. I will. Oh, shit. We're supposed to have our out

our outgoing statement ready, aren't we? Yeah. You're supposed to be on top of it,

Gil. I mean, I wasn't even, so it's okay. So until

next time, here's a toast to the ghost in your hall. The

Bigfoot hiding in your yard. And the gray waiting for you

to fall asleep. And please listen

responsibly. Cheers, everybody. Good night, Joe. Cheers, everybody.

Good night. May 4th. See you guys there.
