Last Call - Encounters With Loved Ones Who Have Passed

Episode description

In this episode of Beer, Boos & Boogeymen, we delved into the profound topic of encounters with loved ones who have passed. The significance of this episode stems from the deep, emotional impact these experiences have on so many of us, as evidenced by our poll revealing that more than half of the US population claims to have had meaningful contact with a loved one who has passed away.

We take a live call from a full-spectrum doula who works in birth, postpartum, death, and spirituality. The caller shared her invaluable experience of connecting with those who have passed on. Gil mentioned a poll about contact with deceased loved ones, noting the compelling statistical follow-up with respondents.

Listeners were moved by the heartfelt story of a caller’s dog, who accompanied her on numerous adventures and maintained a deep, non-verbal connection with her. The poignant narrative of the dog’s passing, coinciding with the traditional Mexican celebration of La Guadalupana, brought to light themes of sacrifice and liberation as the caller embarked on a new life phase.

Another captivating moment was when a caller recounted a light turning on at a significant moment, sparking discussions about belief systems and paranormal encounters. This segued into our own experiences with paranormal activities and plans for an upcoming paranormal investigation segment. We explored how the methods of communication from the deceased might differ based on individual receptiveness.

The episode also highlighted experiences with mediums and psychic readings, with Damion sharing his and his wife’s validating experiences. Joey expressed an interest in listeners’ encounters with mediums, underscoring the mixed feelings of belief and skepticism about psychic abilities.

Our callers shared stories of deep connections with nonhuman companions, displaying the ability to communicate empathetically and non-verbally with animals. A particularly resonant story from Andrea, a spectrum doula, touched on the profound and spiritual nature of caring for both the living and the deceased.

The significance of dedicated roles like death doulas was underscored, criticising how Western society, especially American culture, approaches death and grieving. We were grateful for Andrea’s contributions and emphasized our commitment to assisting her in expanding her digital presence.

The episode concluded with an engaging discussion about our upcoming interactive segment, “Truth or Trash,” inspired by Art Bell’s Coast to Coast, where callers will share stories for the audience to vote on their truthfulness. We shared personal dream stories involving deceased loved ones, reflecting on their emotional impact and significance.

Throughout this episode, we encouraged listeners to call in and share their profound experiences, aiming to provide a healing and affirming space for those impacted by the loss of loved ones. The shared stories not only fostered a sense of community but also highlighted the pervasive and deeply personal nature of afterlife communications. As always, we ended with a toast and farewells, reinforcing the importance of connection and shared experiences in our unique journey through the paranormal.

Boos and Boogeymen episode 4. Can you believe it's already

1:21

1:25

sneaks up on you, doesn't it? It really does. It really does.

1:29

Mhmm. And, I think we're all pretty excited about this 1. I know

1:33

I am. Yeah. This is gonna be a real

1:37

special 1 for, folks. I have the feeling.

1:41

Yeah. Yeah. I'm I'm hoping, there there's a couple people I'm hoping

1:45

will call in that I I know, have some stories,

1:49

with tonight's topic. But, speaking of that, did you wanna go ahead

1:53

and introduce that? Well, we decided to call this 1 last

1:56

visit. It's gonna be about communication

2:01

with those that have passed away, your loved 1 that that have passed away, be

2:04

it a relative, a friend, or even, you know, a loved pet that may

2:08

have somehow communicated with you in the afterlife. So

2:13

as usual, you know, I've got a couple stories. I may get a little emotional

2:16

during these because, you know, you guys kinda know probably who they're

2:20

about. But so when I start talking about mine, you may have to

2:24

give me a minute if I get a little choked up. So, like, I'm already

2:26

starting to choke up just kinda thinking about it. So, anyway, let's,

2:31

let let's do our normal rounds before I get too emotional already.

2:34

So Alright. Alright. I'll I'll kick it

2:38

off tonight. I never go first because I got a really cool 1.

2:42

It is Deftones' Phantom Bride. I

2:46

believe the company is belching beaver.

2:50

Wow. Yeah. Absolutely love that. No. It's

2:54

really good. I could never find any of this stuff you guys can

2:57

find. I know. We're gonna just have to start shipping it to you before the

3:00

episodes, like, like, a week beforehand on the DL.

3:04

Yeah. Right. Joey, what you got? Well, like,

3:08

last month, almost said week. I feel like it's weekly.

3:12

I got a Shiva pale ale. It's always great from Asheville Brewing.

3:16

Really great 1. So I'll continue that trend this week Cat next

3:20

this month. Next month, I will grab a new beer, and we'll see what

3:23

it tastes like. Alright.

3:27

Well I am rocking. Because he's just

3:31

I'm rocking Voodoo Ranger again. Again? No.

3:35

It's a classic. It's a classic. Okay. Readily available. Absolutely

3:39

delicious. Unlike Damien, I didn't get the weird fruity 1. I

3:42

actually got the OG, which tastes good. Well,

3:46

like I've said for the last 4 months, I could never get lucky and find

3:50

anything remotely paranormal. So this time, I went

3:54

with, since I'm a big monster energy drink fan, I

3:57

went with the monster beast, the energy monster.

4:01

Oh, how is that? I I've been thinking about getting 1 of them, but It

4:04

tastes just like a fucking monster until it's until it's in

4:08

your retina here, then Cat starts to temp. Drive. Right.

4:12

Until until right in here, it burns a little, but it tastes just like a

4:15

monster. And then just for shits and giggles, I got this stuff called Pirate

4:19

Water. It's supposed to be margarita flavored, so we'll see what happens when I

4:23

crack it open. Oh, wow. Are either 1 of those alcoholic? Are they

4:27

1 of those alcoholic? They are. Wow. The monster 1 has

4:31

6% alcohol by volume, and the other 1 is

4:35

10% alcohol by volume. Holy shit. That's the margarita?

4:39

Yeah. That's the margarita 1. So we're taking donations

4:43

for, Boos' Uber home tonight from

4:47

where he is recording. Don't buy him a

4:50

coffee. It's buy him a new about $20, y'all.

4:53

Right. No. We

4:57

need 1 of these companies to to sponsor us, and then and then that'll

5:01

that'll cover Boos Uber every day. It would.

5:05

Mhmm. Yeah. And maybe they could send me something to drink. That's that's kinda

5:08

goes with the show. But something this kinda does, it's

5:12

called, you know, monster, and and it's a beast. And this other one's got

5:16

a skull on it. So you know? K. That works. Good enough.

5:19

Yeah. Right. Good enough. So You did good, dude. You did good.

5:23

Alright, fellas. Well, let's go ahead and get

5:27

into it because we I think we're gonna have a lot to get through. I've

5:30

got a couple of Kristen stories. I actually have a

5:34

personal a very quick 1 that is fresh. It is

5:38

recent. Happened at Tombstone. I

5:42

just got back from Tombstone for the listeners, and it was

5:45

awesome and, Paranormal

5:48

infused. Couldn't Beer you for a second. So I've got that. I know

5:52

we're gonna have some callers tonight. How

5:56

about Dee? You wanna kick us off with a story?

6:00

Per use? I I guess I will. Alright.

6:04

Let's see. Where shall I start? I'll start with

6:08

this 1 because this 1 I shouldn't get too emotional with this 1. This 1

6:11

was actually pretty pretty rad. So

6:15

right now, I'm recording from my mom's house.

6:19

So back in 2020, my

6:22

aunt passed away from leukemia. I was living here at the

6:26

time. She was living here. She passed away in our living room.

6:30

And so, you know, that that hit me pretty hard. It hit all of us

6:33

pretty hard. She was like my second mom. You know? And

6:37

her room was right across from mine. So I got so used to hearing

6:41

her breathe the machine at night. Like, when she passed away, it was

6:45

like the silence, like, killed me. And

6:49

so I had to start sleeping with the TV on and never been the

6:52

type to sleep with the TV on. I just had to have some kind of

6:55

noise. So fast forward to probably a year later,

6:58

you know, I'm done married. I've been moved out,

7:02

living where my wife was living at the time, and

7:07

my my aunt was a real heavy smoker all the way up to, like, the

7:11

week that she passed away, like, just 1 right after the other. And,

7:15

we got this sudden whiff of strong cigarette smoke in our house. Me and my

7:19

wife's the only 2 home, neither 1 of us smoked, And she was

7:22

like, you know, I smell smoke. You know? And

7:26

we had neighbors, but not close enough to where if they were outside smoking, we

7:29

could smell it. And she just like she goes, get

7:33

out some of your equipment. So I got out my my rim pod.

7:37

I got AAK2 meter, set them up on the bed, and she's

7:40

like, let's just test something. Let's just see if this is who we

7:44

think it is. And so I start asking

7:48

questions. Questions about my aunt's stuff

7:52

that she liked, stuff like that. I'll be like, if this is you, aunt

7:55

Sharon, I want you to to make 1 of these devices

8:00

light up or go off. Only 1 she interacted with

8:03

was the k 2 meter. So I would ask multiple choice questions.

8:08

So, like, the first question I ask okay. Your favorite TV

8:12

show. When I name your favorite TV show, I want you to light 1 of

8:14

these devices up. 1st show I named, nothing

8:18

happened. Second thing, nothing happened. 3rd

8:21

show, which was her favorite show, Supernatural, the k

8:25

2 went all the way to the red. I'm like, okay.

8:29

Then I named 1 more. I did, like, 444 choices.

8:33

4th 1 did nothing. I'm like, okay. Then I

8:36

asked, who's your favorite sports team? She was a big

8:39

football fan. Named 4 different teams. When it got to

8:43

her favorite team, it lit up. I'm like, okay. It's 2 for

8:47

2. I ask it 12 questions.

8:51

11 of those 12 questions lit up on the correct answer.

8:55

Oh, wow. And I'm like I'm like, if that's not her, that's a

8:59

really, really big coincidence. Because, like, my my wife didn't know the answers to this

9:03

stuff, and the only other person in the room was me, and I knew all

9:03

the answers. So

9:09

So every time it got to the correct answer other than 1 time, it lit

9:13

it lit it all the way up to the red. Yeah. And

9:17

I walked away. I was like, okay. That's gotta be her because,

9:21

you know, it answered every single question correctly.

9:24

And so I thought that was I thought that was pretty rad that

9:28

if it was her, you know, she was sitting there basically having a full blown

9:32

conversation with us. Wow. Wow. Wow.

9:36

Do how how long ago was that? Did I miss that? She

9:39

passed away in 2020. This probably happened

9:43

in 2021, probably 15, 16

9:47

months after she passed. Okay. Okay. So

9:51

Do you ever have you heard from her again in any way? Like, do

9:54

you sense a presence? Do you feel her sometimes?

9:58

Smell smoke? There there is there is times the very first episode we

10:02

did that I did from here. Yeah. Like I said, her room is

10:06

right here, and at some point, I hear somebody knocking on this

10:09

door in the room I'm in. That's right. Yeah. And

10:13

when I got done, my niece was in the next room, which used to be

10:16

my bedroom, and y'all walked out. I was like, hey. Did you get up and

10:19

knock on the door, you know, during the episode? She's like, no, but I heard

10:22

it. She's like, did you hear the footsteps in the hall? And I was like,

10:26

but, no, I had, you know, the headphones and stuff on. She goes, well, I

10:29

heard walking, and then I heard somebody knock on that door. And I was like

10:32

she goes, who do you think that was? And I pointed to her room. I

10:35

was like, I guarantee it was in Sharon letting me know that she was here

10:38

listening. That is so

10:42

cool. Thank you, g. Thank you so much.

10:45

What, Thank you, ma'am. Yeah. III don't

10:49

I'm I'm I don't want you to get choked up tonight, but, you know, we

10:53

we knew coming into this subject. Like, you know, it's it it can be it

10:56

can be hard talk about. It it can also be very just very,

11:00

reassuring, reconfirming, experience

11:04

for folks to have. Mhmm. And, you know,

11:08

folks, they they don't talk about it a

11:11

lot. I noticed that, like, you know, it's it it might be an uncomfortable

11:15

discussion to have, like, to talk about. But specifically with afterlife

11:19

communications, any, you know, messages and signs from the other side,

11:22

people kinda shy away from talking about that, like, you know, right out

11:26

front. Mhmm. And it's it's very confusing,

11:31

because come to find out, thanks to Gil, thanks to,

11:34

an article that he found a poll that he found,

11:39

I can't remember how many were in this poll. It was a it was a

11:42

good amount of people who took this poll, and it was all about, like,

11:46

how many have experienced signs and messages from past

11:49

unloved ones? How many have had dreams of past unloved ones?

11:53

And you would be shocked to see

11:57

the percentage of Americans who

12:01

have these kinds of experiences. I I

12:04

yeah. I know I was very, very shocked. It's like it's a majority of

12:08

people. It's a lot. A big amount. Yeah. 46%.

12:13

It's,

12:17

53% say Okay. They've ever been

12:21

visited by a dead family member in a

12:24

dream or some other form. Mhmm.

12:28

So over half of the

12:32

US population and this is as of August

12:35

2023. This is less than a year ago. Mhmm. The numbers

12:39

I'm looking at here, it was

12:43

was it was around yeah. So

12:47

5, 007, 5, 079 adults

12:51

took place in the survey in order for, like, the sample size, which

12:55

is a pretty decent sample size.

12:58

Mhmm. And yeah. And that that's,

13:02

we should honestly, we'll I I think we'll end up posting it,

13:06

after the show, like, up on, our different socials on,

13:10

like, you know, RKB Paranormal and Paranormal Girl on Black Cat Report

13:14

because the this is I don't know how

13:17

this research study flew under the radar. Yeah. Like, I

13:21

we were when we picked this topic for the show, and, you know,

13:25

we were all kind of, you know, a few weeks ago collecting articles about, like,

13:28

Cat, you know, let's kinda get some idea, like, kinda test the field, see how

13:31

people are interacting, how we should ask our questions, you know, planning for the

13:35

show. And and I came across this, and my jaw dropped. I

13:39

was like, why wasn't this front page news everywhere? I mean, especially,

13:42

like, all the 4 of us, you know, we're all in the paranormal

13:46

community. I didn't see shit about

13:49

this. And you're you're having over

13:52

half of the US population is just straight up saying

13:56

after a loved 1 has passed, they've had some form of meaningful contact with

14:00

them. Yeah. That isn't that that number is I would have been

14:04

freaked out if it was 1 tenth. Right. You know? Right. I feel

14:07

like that's still significant. Mhmm. Because we're we're talking

14:11

a 150, a 175, 000, 000 people.

14:15

Right. Yeah. It's nice. Yeah. And if, you know lot. I've

14:19

seen other polls, like, you know, just going through the paranormal, being so involved

14:23

for, like, the last 3 years. I've I've looked at other polls, like, percentage of

14:26

people who believe in demons or witchcraft or, you know,

14:29

whatever. No other subject of the paranormal,

14:34

stacks up to this. This is 1 of the largest segments of the

14:38

population that this kind of stuff happens to that I have seen.

14:41

And you're absolutely right. It flew under the radar. I had no idea.

14:45

Yeah. It's very personal. You know? It is. Yeah.

14:49

Maybe why people don't talk about it as much too. Like, we're just talking about

14:52

earlier. It's super personal to people. Maybe a little easier in,

14:56

like, a a form of, you know, just

14:59

calling because I imagine that's what the research poll was is just calling people, just

15:03

being like, hey. Did you have you had experiences is so easier for them

15:07

to be just like, yes. I've had an experience with this. And then be like,

15:10

great. You know? Like, that's you know, write that down.

15:13

You know, 1 out of 25100, you know, 26100,

15:17

whatever the number is. So it's, like, a lot easier than being like, hey. Let's

15:20

get into this of, like, what my experience was, which we're hoping a lot

15:24

of you will share today with us. Hopefully so. Absolutely. Yeah.

15:28

And and it it just clicked with me. You know, I I've been so

15:31

busy the last couple weeks with this new job and stuff. Like, it just clicked

15:35

with me this this story I've seen Beer. And I wish I

15:39

would have thought about it before, and I would y'all may have seen it about

15:42

this mom who seen her son who had passed

15:46

away, like, years ago, seen him on her

15:49

security camera in their living room 1 night. Woah.

15:53

Like and she, like, shared, like, you know, pictures of it, and it was kind

15:57

of somewhat pixelated because it was a you know, those

16:01

kind of cameras at times can suck, but she was like, that is my son,

16:04

and he had been dead for, like, 5 years. Oh, wow. Wow. Like, showed

16:07

up in the living room on her security camera. This was a

16:11

story from, like, a couple years ago, and I've come across it several different times

16:15

just on random posts on stuff, and it always just is. I'm like,

16:19

that's insane Yeah. That Beer gone

16:22

that long, and she just randomly gets a notification, like, on her phone,

16:26

like, an

16:30

alert saying there was motion detected or whatever. And she pulls it up, and she

16:33

sees her son standing in the living room. Wow.

16:37

Yeah. I'm gonna get oh,

16:40

no.

16:46

Alright. This is gonna be rough, guys. Yeah. Yeah.

16:50

You got this Yeah. Yeah. You got this Damion Only No. The only other thing

16:53

I I just wanted to tack on to that little little discussion there was, you

16:57

know, another reason that folks might not feel comfortable

17:01

about talking about this with others is there's still in a

17:04

a stigma associated with with any of this stuff.

17:08

And I think there is still a a stigma with that. So, yeah,

17:12

which is unfortunate because I've had personal experiences. Dee has had

17:16

personal experiences. What about you 2? Nope. Not

17:20

personally? No? No. Sadly, no. No. JB looks fine.

17:23

But but Yeah. But I will say just off the Cat. Sorry, Joey.

17:27

I'm popping in here. I will say off the Cat, this actually represents

17:31

the actual poll that we just represented, where half You do. Of the actual poll

17:34

that we just represented, where half really does. Of the hosts have

17:38

had experiences. The other half haven't. Mhmm. So in

17:42

in line with that stigma, I think that's part of the reason why we wanted

17:45

to do the show was to not just connect, not just help folks

17:48

relate, and also, you know, to kind of point

17:52

out, if you haven't had contact with a loved 1 who's passed on, it

17:56

doesn't mean they don't love you. You know? Right. And that's an

18:00

important thing Boos. But hearing these stories, I think, does,

18:04

give some semblance of, like, credence, some semblance of, like,

18:08

hope of, like, connection to these to these,

18:12

people, you know, human and nonhuman that, have

18:16

made such a difference in our lives as we're alive, you know, and that

18:20

we might have a connection with them again. And it also shows there

18:23

should be literally 0. I don't know

18:27

of anything in this country that half

18:31

over half of the country can agree on. I mean, we could barely do that

18:34

with presidential elections, y'all. Like, come on.

18:37

Good luck trying to get somebody elected into office with 53% of the

18:41

votes. You know? So, like,

18:44

so more people have had experiences than

18:48

have voted for either 1 of the presidents, if you look at it that way.

18:52

Don't feel alone. Mhmm. So you're saying there's something

18:56

to it. Mhmm. I'm saying it is the new third

18:59

party that we should all have for the

19:03

paranormal party. There we go.

19:07

Well, what, can I

19:11

jump into 1 of our listeners' stories? Because I have him in

19:14

my chat right now, so I wanted to kinda share his story, if

19:18

that's alright. I don't know if he's gotta go here. Getting late where he is

19:22

at. But, Michael, I'm gonna go ahead and read yours.

19:26

So this is from my friend, Michael. I have had him on the show,

19:29

and, he had a podcast of his own. I think it's gonna

19:33

be relaunched. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do hope so. And he

19:37

sent me this a couple of days ago, so I'm just gonna read it

19:41

verbatim. Hey, Kristen. This is something that happened

19:45

to me. A good friend of mine who came back to say his final goodbye.

19:49

This is an emotional thing. So you already know I was in the

19:52

army. I'm considered a Persian Gulf era veteran. So me

19:56

and William met at Fort Sill in Oklahoma, became fast friends, and

19:59

basically brothers. We did a lot of our training together even

20:03

after training. Well, let's say shenanigans took place. Nothing

20:07

serious. Just a lot of fun. Then came the day where we got orders

20:11

to different duty stations. Nothing uncommon. We stayed in

20:14

touch and talked quite a bit. Well, William got orders to go

20:18

overseas, so to what we call the sandbox.

20:21

I missed my chance to go. I'm still pissed about that.

20:25

Sadly, I must say he came home in a box under the flag.

20:29

He died over there. He is originally from Ohio where I moved to.

20:33

Now where I work, we have vets here, and 1 of them came up to

20:37

me and handed me a rank and US Army uniform patch.

20:41

He said, this is from William. He says he is doing

20:45

good. Now as far as I know, the 2 of them have

20:49

never met. When I got these items, I could literally feel

20:52

his presence on them. I know they are from him.

20:56

I was wondering if I should share this, but I decided to share with you

20:59

and everyone else just to say our loved ones are safe, and they do come

21:03

back. They are with us. If I may say to my brother,

21:06

William, he knows exactly what this means. I can make a horse run. I

21:10

can make a bullfrog hop. This is a Fort Sill saying.

21:15

Oh, thank you. I love that saying, though. Thank you. Michael.

21:19

Thank you. And also thank you for your service. Yes. Mhmm. Thank you for

21:23

your service. Absolutely. Oh,

21:28

that's heavy. Who's got a joke? No.

21:32

Joey? That's what I brought you on the other side. Dashled.

21:35

Yes. I'm speechless on this 1.

21:39

0, man. Oh. What did what did you say at the beginning?

21:44

What did what did you say at the beginning? I said, sorry, Salem. You're gonna

21:48

have to sit over, like, on the floor and not on the desk. And you

21:51

usually, like you said something. So my Cat 1 of my

21:54

things I'm saying. Jokes, I just I just they go out of my head so

21:58

quickly. I don't remember. I just, like, in and out. Much memory. They get

22:02

as much memory as forethought when it comes to That's how I'm able to

22:05

live. That's how I'm able to live. Okay? It's just in 1 ear

22:09

out the other. Anyways, you told Salem to go back to

22:13

Massachusetts. That's how we're gonna close it. Thank you so much. Old

22:16

fashioned dad joke. Yes. I remember your jokes, Joey. Every

22:20

1 of them. It's a condition, actually. So I

22:24

have a story, if it's cool, if I if I share it. Absolutely.

22:28

Cool. The the person did, wish to remain

22:32

anonymous, so respecting that here, which

22:36

I do wanna remind everybody, when you whether you're calling

22:39

in or whether you're submitting a story, on any of our

22:43

submission links, we we give anonymous options for everything.

22:48

So always an option. It's just through an

22:52

Instagram message, but so a couple of years ago,

22:56

I lost my husband. I was absolutely devastated

23:00

and spiraled into depression, staying in

23:03

bed, crying all the time, and was asking for a

23:07

sign that he was still with me.

23:11

Morning, I woke up with someone cuddling me from behind,

23:15

spooning me. And for a second, I thought

23:18

it Cat all been a dream, But as I

23:22

came around, it disappeared.

23:26

It happened twice now, both times, when I've been really down.

23:34

Oh, that hits. Yeah. Thank

23:37

you, anonymous, for sharing your story. Thank you. Right. And

23:41

and it should bring her comfort knowing that he's still there

23:45

and letting her know that, hey. Everything's gonna be okay. Yeah. Mhmm.

23:49

Yeah. That's that's the sign. You know, I think a lot of people would

23:53

really love to have a sign like Cat. Like, the feeling of Mhmm.

23:56

Undeniable feeling that they are there, like a touch or a voice or

24:00

something. You know? A lot of people receive, all kinds of signs,

24:04

though. It can be just something, a special song between you 2,

24:08

a a feather, you know, like a coin. Like, there's all kinds of

24:12

ways that you can hear from, your your Report non

24:15

loved ones, and I just I find it very, very fascinating, just all of the

24:19

different ways that they can get across. Right.

24:23

Electricity is a huge 1, but, that is such a cool

24:26

story. Like, I just love Cat, the the feeling of actual

24:30

physical touch. That is so cool. And there

24:34

was there was a simplicity in the way that they wrote it out that was,

24:37

like, it it hits. I don't I don't know

24:41

if that if that makes sense or whatever, and I'm not saying that more words

24:44

can't be great or whatever, but I I just feel like they delivered a lot

24:48

in that 1 paragraph. Oh, wow. Like, it's just like Yeah.

24:52

We can all, like, imagine, like yeah. You know?

24:55

Right. Yeah. That's heavy. Real heavy. And,

25:00

and Kristen, you mentioned, you know, a song could could

25:04

be a way, of somebody letting you know, hey. I'm still here.

25:07

That that reminds me, this isn't my personal story, but it's 1 of my mom's.

25:12

I'm gonna share it because she we talked about it before we started recording. And,

25:17

she said if she's awake, she may type it out in the chat on on

25:20

whosever chat she was in. But I was like, you know what? I was like,

25:23

I can go ahead and tell it. Couple years ago, her best friend of,

25:27

like, gosh, 40 something years passed away.

25:32

Like I said, her best friend since she was a, you know, teenager 12, 13

25:35

years old. You know, my mom's in her sixties, so lifetime

25:39

friend, passed away. And

25:43

both huge Bob Seger fans. Mhmm.

25:46

Nice. I think at last count, my mom said they went to, like, 9 or

25:50

10 Bob Seger concerts together. Wow. Damn.

25:54

Like a lot of like a lot of his concerts. Like, it was their favorite

25:57

singer. And, Aw. He was like a rock to him. Right.

26:01

So said, what in

26:05

too long after she passed, she got in her Cat, and

26:09

my mom still listens to CDs, if that tells you anything. She's

26:13

kinda old school. She don't like the the electronics, Bluetooth, and then all that. So

26:16

she, you know, still listens to CDs and her CD player in her car. And

26:20

since she got in her car, I don't remember if she got off work or

26:23

just going out to, get ready to go to work and turned on Beer

26:27

radio, and it was blaring Bob Seager. And she's like, and

26:30

I know I didn't have my radio turned on when I, you know, turn when

26:34

I got out of the car last, but the radio was off. Mhmm. Mhmm. And

26:37

this, Bob Seger CD was in since she got in, turned it on, and

26:41

it was blaring Bob Seger. And she's like, I know that was Debbie telling me

26:44

she was here with me. Oh, man. Aw. Man, how did they

26:48

do that? Right.

26:53

Electronics, I guess. You know? I guess so. Kinda they can control.

26:57

Yeah. You know, it's it's really sad, though. I I lost my job at the

27:00

calendar factory, because I wanted to take a few days off.

27:06

Oh, that was good.

27:12

Oh god. I'm tearing up again, Joey. I'm sitting here thinking

27:15

everyone. Joey Lee.

27:20

I'm sitting here thinking he was being serious. I'm like, he worked at a counterfact

27:23

right? That's

27:27

what I was going for. No.

27:31

Hey. Hey. Dad jokes today if we're gonna, you know. Yeah.

27:35

You you gotta you gotta keep them coming, J Boos. Keep them coming.

27:39

What I what I tell y'all in episode 1, I'm like, we're gonna need Joey.

27:42

We're gonna need Joey. I'll be here

27:46

to help. You're our hero tonight.

27:50

Well, listen, boys. So I do have 1 more story, but we are

27:54

creeping up on our first half hour, that half hour mark. I would love

27:58

to go ahead and just open the lines right now just early and just And

28:01

I have them open. Mhmm. Okay. And I and I do

28:05

wanna throw something out there too, with that just real quick.

28:09

Just it's something I just realized. I it always takes me a while to

28:12

circle around the block before I get to my point. Everybody knows this about me

28:16

Cat knows me. But, all of these great comments

28:20

and stories and little experiences that are getting shared in the

28:23

live chat are not getting shared in the,

28:28

in the audio that gets released as podcasts going forward. So if you could

28:32

call in even with the small comments, that makes a difference. We already got our

28:35

first caller. Let me get that going.

28:42

I don't know what that was. Hey.

28:46

Could we get hello. Could we get your

28:49

Hi. Your first name and where you're calling from? If you want

28:53

to. My name is Beth, and I'm calling from Pullman, Washington.

28:57

Awesome. Hello, Beth. Hey, Beth.

29:00

Hey, Beth.

29:05

Yeah? Okay. Hi.

29:09

There we go. We can hear you now. She's Is that good? She's out in

29:13

a tractor. I can say that for a fact.

29:17

But let's let's bear with it. I

29:21

Turn down the detractor, please.

29:26

1 moment. 1 moment. I'm gonna go on. I don't know. Alright. Thank

29:30

you. Hold on. This is live, y'all. This is what

29:33

happens. The fun of live.

29:38

Hold on. No worries. No worries. Hey. You're a first caller. You get that

29:41

first caller privilege. We don't know if it's our audio fucking up, so,

29:45

like, throw it back at us. It's totally fine. Right.

29:49

I've been drinking over here. I'm connecting wires.

29:53

Alright. Did you have a tractor going? I am

29:57

in a tractor. Yes.

30:04

That's great. Kristen, I think you know who it is. Beth, I think we've talked

30:08

before. Hello? Hi.

30:11

Yeah. Hi. Hi. Hey. So

30:15

my story, I'm I'm gonna make it short and sweet because my tractor is

30:19

running off of GPS, and therefore, if I'm on the phone,

30:23

I lose my mark. My husband passed away

30:27

a year and a half ago, and my life changed

30:30

overnight, Literally overnight.

30:34

And he loves electricity, and I did

30:37

not hear from him for the first almost

30:41

year. And then 1 night,

30:45

I was watching television in his

30:49

man cave. Mhmm. And the lights

30:52

started flashing. And

30:56

it was the weirdest thing, and it was scary in

31:00

the beginning. Mhmm. And then I started asking

31:04

questions. John, is this you? And it would

31:07

flash once. Mhmm. I said,

31:11

are you okay? And it would flash again.

31:15

And I would ask him questions, and this went on for a long

31:19

time. And when I said, are you okay?

31:23

It flashed so hard and so fast

31:27

that it was like a strobe light. Wow. He loves

31:31

electricity. I walked away. I mean, I was in the beginning, it

31:34

was a terrifying moment. But within a few moments,

31:39

it I was filled with love. And Mhmm.

31:43

I even got on the phone and messaged 1 of my

31:47

sisters to log on to the cameras and see what was

31:50

happening, and she saw it as well.

31:54

Wow. Wow. It was very powerful. And

31:58

the ironic thing about it is that Kristen,

32:02

who also is my sister, was asking

32:06

John earlier that Damion, unbeknownst to

32:10

me. She was in her car and she pulled over and

32:14

she said, John, Beth could use you right

32:17

now. And I don't know

32:21

what conversation they had, but that night, it was

32:25

just crazy. And I have it I mean, there was witnesses,

32:29

and it's happened. It's never happened in

32:33

that room again, but it did happen in my

32:37

bedroom and in my bathroom. And there's nothing wrong

32:40

electrically. The bulbs are good. I've had electricians

32:44

in there. Everything is fine, and it's never

32:48

happened again. Yeah.

32:52

Yeah. But he also played with Kristen's lights

32:55

1 time in her car. He loved playing with lights. 3

32:59

times. Yeah. He does love his lights. Yeah.

33:03

Mhmm. Yeah. He he loves his lights. Before your I don't

33:06

I I don't wanna take this question. You you you Cat to your sister, Kristen.

33:09

Sorry. Oh, no. I,

33:13

you know, because because her and I have had these discussions before, and I'll have

33:17

to fill y'all in later Cat a later date on on, you know, a bunch

33:20

of stuff because I've I I think everybody in this family has heard from

33:24

him at 1 point, but that night Mhmm. I remember that night

33:28

being just significantly it was just significant.

33:31

It was it was Yeah. Definitely him. It was him.

33:36

And he reached out to me and Kristen has

33:40

yeah. All of my sisters have heard from him because he loved us.

33:44

I mean, it was kind of a standing joke in the area that he had

33:47

a harem because I

33:51

have so many Kristen. You know? And he he loves

33:55

my sisters, just loved my sisters, called them his ladies.

33:59

Yeah. Yeah. Sounds like he was a damn good

34:02

man, like, to be to be, you know, married into the family

34:07

Right. And and to be loved that Yeah. He deeply.

34:11

Mhmm. You know? Yeah. And he was a

34:14

strong, silent type. But

34:18

words were few, but they were very meaningful.

34:22

They were mostly through Morse code. Alright, troop.

34:26

Right. Alright. I'm sending love. Thank you. Everything. Thank you,

34:30

Ben. I gotta go back to track, Ren. Alright. Don't lose the

34:34

place. Bye. Thank you, Beth. Bye. Thank you,

34:37

Katie.

34:42

Oh, man. Yeah. I'll have to I'll have to fill you guys in at a

34:46

later time, all the stuff. I I've got it down on notes because there's there's

34:49

been some stuff, lots of stuff. I'm a little lost when

34:53

it'll be more relevant. But, hey, I'll take your word for it.

34:57

You know, some of it I feel like it's

35:01

might not be mine to share, so I don't know. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha.

35:05

Exactly sharing here. Yeah. But I've told y'all about the lights in my car. I

35:09

think I talked about that last time. Mhmm. In fact, I've shared I

35:13

heard about it. I wasn't paying attention. I yeah. I know.

35:17

You got the attention span of a gnat. Right. And he was like, what

35:21

happened? Who? Everybody, the

35:24

lines are open right now. You can

35:28

call in. Phone number is 208-717

35:37

1611. Right now is the shot. Right now is the chance. If you'd call

35:41

in, we'd absolutely love it. If it's a 2 second comment,

35:44

hey. This 1 really weird thing happened. It was only for a split

35:48

second. There's a reason why you remember it. It's significant, and

35:52

we would love to hear it. So if you call in, if you could share

35:55

it with everybody. I mean, this is this is this is kind of a healing

35:58

episode. Am I right, everybody? Like, this is kind of like a comforting closure kind

36:02

of episode. Like, so so all of it adds up to a

36:05

significance across the board. This is contributing towards the

36:09

collective, significance. So Yeah. No matter

36:13

how big, no matter how small, it's all legitimate.

36:17

I know, Joey m in in our chat,

36:21

36:25

have a feeling, is more than just a a, you know, a

last episodes of, Black Cat Report. It's, did you hear

38:03

about the restaurant on the moon? Great Boos. No

38:06

atmosphere. I can do this all day.

38:29

in, don't wait for us to pause. We you don't need to wait for us.

39:28

We're gonna just keep talking, and you you just call. You just call. The

39:31

lines are open. Interrupt us. That number is 208-717-1611,

39:39

or just go to go stop beer and click the link, and that'll bring

39:43

you Mhmm. To the phone as well. So while we are

39:47

waiting for our next caller, I do have 1 other

39:50

story, listener submission. This is

39:54

about medium contact. So that might be something

39:58

interesting to get into. And folks folks listening, that that

40:02

is a form of communication with the other side. If you've ever had an experience

40:06

with a medium, a psychic medium, and you feel like they have

40:10

been able to connect you to your past unloved ones, I know, you know, a

40:13

lot of people can be split about Cat. But, you know, I've had great

40:17

experiences with mediums personally, but that is another

40:21

form a way of doing that too. So lots of ways they

40:24

can get to you. Mhmm. But I Even a psychic small or

40:28

psychic large. You know? Oh, god. Oh, god.

40:33

Where's my drink?

40:37

Yes. Yes, Joey. Thank you. Thank you for that. Yeah.

40:41

So this is from Will.

40:46

And it goes, I won a psychic reading

40:50

from Jason, who is a mutual friend of ours, and it was 2 weeks ago.

40:54

The woman didn't know anything about me, like, not even my full name.

40:58

All my social media is private. My grandma came through.

41:02

I haven't thought about her in years as she died when I was a little

41:05

boy. She described her perfectly. She had a few

41:09

messages for me that were extremely direct and detailed. It

41:12

was uncanny. She even repeated a message my grandma told

41:16

me when I was 5. The day after the reading, I found a

41:20

box of old family photos I hadn't looked at in years.

41:24

The first photo on top was my grandma wearing the dress and

41:27

brooch the psychic described. So my grandma

41:31

dropped her first name, Alice, and went by her middle name, Marie,

41:34

after marrying my grandpa. The psychic knew her

41:38

name was Alice. Blew my

41:41

mind. Wow. Wow. Alright. We got

41:45

a call coming in. You do. Let me see if I can

41:49

navigate this real quick. Hello. You are live. Can we

41:53

get your first name and where you're calling from?

41:57

Oops. Did I hang up? I think so. I think you hung up on

42:01

Oh, shut the It's not a beer Boos and Boogeymen until What's that?

42:04

Hangs up on somebody. Leave a callback.

42:09

Please call back. Wow,

42:12

Gail. Every time. We gotta tease them

42:16

to make them wanna talk. You know what I mean? Right. Playing hard to get.

42:20

Mhmm. Yes. Thank you, Will. Thank you for your

42:24

story. Yeah. I don't know. Woody, while we're

42:28

waiting for our caller to call back. Oh. 0, what which

42:32

1 is that? Wait. That's the margarita. That was the powered water, and

42:35

that is wow. I am. Wow. Sorry.

42:39

Anyway, go ahead. Water? Pirate

42:43

r. Pirate water. Pirate r. That makes sense. Okay.

42:46

Wow. Okay. Your eyeballs got so wide.

42:50

Mhmm. But, yeah, what what are y'all's

42:54

thoughts on mediumship and the

42:58

ability for them to connect for you, connect you to somebody who's passed

43:01

over? What have been your experiences? I

43:05

haven't interacted with 1 with that type

43:08

of stuff, but I have recently been in in touch with

43:12

1, and stuff she told me has been pretty

43:16

much fucking spot on ever since she like, everything she said has Beer, like, boom,

43:19

boom, boom. Yeah. And it's been pretty wild.

43:23

Like, not saying she said everything

43:26

exactly how it was gonna happen, but she's like, this is gonna happen

43:31

or this may happen like and I guess everything has come together and

43:34

made sense. Mhmm. So it's been pretty

43:38

wild. And, my wife has has got

43:41

some got a reading from her too, and and hers has been kind of

43:45

trailing right on that same same line. Everything's

43:49

happened kind of just how she's described it. It's been pretty

43:52

wild. Yeah. Yeah. Any do you

43:57

any of that stuff, could it be the result of

44:01

confirmation Boos, or are you saying it's, like, specific stuff that

44:04

you that you wouldn't make happen, like, in you know, subconsciously

44:08

or unconsciously. No. It's been, like, specific stuff. Like Yeah.

44:12

Part of it had to do with my, starting up a new job and and

44:16

just a lot of stuff. And Woah. Yeah.

44:20

Yeah. And you you had no idea. Like, I mean, we remember

44:24

talking with you about that when that was all happening. And No. I don't remember

44:27

if I had talked to her before that happened or was, like, after we had

44:31

done got it. But, like, there were stuff that she said about a new job

44:34

Yeah. And some other stuff that's happened because of this the

44:38

job situation, but it's all been, like, pretty much spot on. Yeah.

44:41

Wow. And it was it's been pretty wild. Oh, man. What

44:45

about you, Joey? I have not had any experiences

44:49

with mediums. 1 thing would be

44:52

great to open up the call lines for as well is people's thoughts

44:56

on mediums. Yes. And if they've had experiences in their

45:00

lives, if they, if how they feel

45:04

about them, how you know, if they feel like mediums are speaking truth. And

45:07

I know, you know, Boos just said, like, he's had good experiences

45:11

through him saying, like, they kinda got things right. I

45:15

feel there are some great people, mediums out there that have very

45:19

strong connections Mhmm. On to other side,

45:23

otherworldly things that some people don't. I don't feel like I have

45:27

a very strong connection to anything on the

45:31

other side, whatever people believe it might be. You know, I'm not

45:34

sure about anything of that. I know I have aunts. I have an

45:38

aunt that, like, has the biggest connection to the other side.

45:42

She ends up moving into haunted house after haunted house after haunted house.

45:46

Oh, god. And, like Wow. I you know, we live oh, in

45:49

Virginia, I lived kinda in, like, the Civil War belt. You know, pretty much like

45:53

most of the battles of the Civil War happened in that area, and my aunt

45:57

would buy a house in 1 spot, haunted. You know? There'd be

46:01

she she woke up 1 day and found hair in the

46:04

bathtub, and both her and her roommate would found hair in the

46:08

bathtub. And at 1 night, they both were falling asleep, and

46:12

they both woke up at the same time. Oh, thank you for interrupting

46:16

me. Hello, caller. Gio, did you hang up

46:19

again? No. It's fine. I hit the green button this time. Can

46:23

you hear me? Hi. Hey. Hello. Can we get your first name

46:27

and where you're calling from? Hi, Britney. Hello,

46:30

Britney. How are you?

46:34

Hi, brother. That's my sister, everybody. Hi, Britney.

46:38

Hi, Dee's brother. Hi, Britney. Sisters. Hello.

46:43

Hi. I'm calling from Tennessee,

46:47

Hickman. Oh, nice. Down the road from Damien. Yep.

46:51

Well, thank you so much for your help. Have, like, a little,

46:55

yeah, I just have, like, a little little story.

46:58

So I'm sure you guys all know,

47:03

Damion friend who passed away, Keith.

47:08

I remember the day of his funeral.

47:11

We were all, like, hanging out at my mom's house and

47:15

sitting in the living Boos. And my mom just

47:19

made a comment, and she was like, I wish that there was

47:22

just some way that he could, you know, Keith,

47:27

could, you know, let us all know that he was okay.

47:31

And as soon as she said that, the kitchen

47:34

light turned on. And she she she messaged me that

47:38

a minute ago, and I don't remember that. Oh. But, you

47:42

know, in my opinion, those 3 or 4

47:46

days, you know, were so fucking hectic. Like, I don't remember much from those

47:49

3 or 4 days. Like, I was so out of it.

47:54

So, yeah, when she sent me that, I was like, call in here. Like, I

47:56

don't remember that. So wow.

48:00

Mhmm. Yeah. That No. I remember it. And, Corey, my husband,

48:04

he's also watching. He remembers it too very well. He was the 1 that was,

48:08

like, tell him to tell that story.

48:11

Yeah. I don't I don't remember. Cat that was in the house in Charlotte?

48:15

Uh-uh. No. In White Bluff. Were were you there?

48:19

Yeah. And you you were you would be there, Dee. Right? You just don't re

48:22

recall it happening? No. I mean, it it if it was after

48:26

the funeral, like I said, it was such an emotional day. Like, I

48:30

I don't know if you were there or not. The thing is, like, I don't

48:32

remember that. Like, I feel like that would be something I would've remember. Cat,

48:38

yeah, I don't remember that as well. No. It was I don't think you were

48:42

there, to be honest. But we were just sitting there, and it just she just

48:46

said, I just wish he could let us know he was okay.

48:49

And as soon as she said that, the kitchen light turned

48:53

on. And we all, like,

48:57

started to cry, like, because it was just instantly, like Oh.

49:01

Right. Crazy. Britney Can I

49:05

can I oh, go ahead? Can I can I can I no? Go ahead, Gail.

49:11

Can I just ask you, how

49:15

okay? Let me let's step back a little bit. Do you think

49:19

there's any been anything in, like, how you were raised in your

49:23

spiritual experience, in your, you know,

49:27

religious experience, what what have you, has there been

49:30

anything that you feel like kind of primed you for recognizing

49:34

the significance of that moment?

49:38

No. I mean, maybe. I don't know. Not really. It

49:42

just it was no. Okay. It was

49:46

just very, like I don't know. Like, that was

49:50

I mean, it it's just crazy. Like and the okay. And

49:54

so in the light in the kitchen had 1 of those it was like a

49:57

turn knob 1. So you had to, like I don't know.

50:01

It was crazy. It's like you had to turn the light to come on. It

50:05

was like a dimmer light. Yeah. And that just

50:09

Yeah. It just came on,

50:12

and we all just knew.

50:17

Yeah. So that's that in no way is is

50:20

actually surprising Cat you're saying that you don't have any

50:24

spiritual or religious affiliation, any sort of, I would say, like,

50:28

primer to set up fertile ground for an experience like this. Like, there was

50:31

no spiritual backing to be like, hey, get ready for this, you

50:35

know, in in your life. Right. There

50:39

there's more. Again, going back to that Pew Research

50:43

study, it was in, like, the sixties

50:47

for folks that were non spiritually affiliated for

50:51

atheists, agnostics, folks with

50:54

no strong religious background. Though those folks

50:58

had a higher rate of, you know,

51:02

post, passing contact with a loved

51:06

1 than folks who are religiously

51:10

affiliated. Right? So it's it it might have

51:14

been like, no. You know, there was nothing there, and it's like, that actually,

51:18

statistically speaking, set you up more, which is which is

51:21

wild. Did it

51:26

how is this let me ask you this. How how has

51:29

this become a memory that you're still holding on to? How has this impacted you

51:33

going forward in life, You know, from that moment when you're

51:37

when you're having those moments when you're just kind of thinking back and you're, like,

51:40

thinking about it, how has it influenced you? Well, I'm

51:43

definitely unlike my brother. I don't have a bunch

51:47

of, paranormal stuff happen

51:51

or to me, like, he has. He got all that, thankfully.

51:57

So that just has always been, like,

52:00

1 of those things that has stuck out as, like, I I don't I don't

52:04

like, a Beer weird instance that happened. Like,

52:08

I don't know how to explain it really. Like, it's just what were the chances

52:12

that that light was gonna come on right then? You know? I don't know. Mhmm.

52:16

It's just always been 1 of those weird things that we've never forgotten.

52:20

I don't know. Says something Boos that, like, all of you kind of felt

52:23

the same way about what happened instead of, like, 1 of you feeling 1

52:27

way, another person feeling another way. But all of you had the same

52:31

feeling after the question was asked and the light that you

52:35

are just like, no. They're okay. Oh, no. A

52:38

100%. Everybody in the room was like, wow.

52:42

Yeah. I'm pretty sure I went there, so I don't remember that. I don't recall

52:45

that. No. I don't think you were. Because if it

52:49

was yeah. It was right after the funeral. You were probably definitely off somewhere

52:53

else. Yeah. Kristen, what was your

52:56

question? It was it was similar to what Gil

53:00

asked. I was just kinda curious, like well, more

53:04

so, you know, what was, what was your,

53:08

like, belief system prior to

53:11

experiencing something like this, which I I'm gathering you have not

53:15

experienced Cat you know, you said you're not very much like Damion in that way,

53:19

that you haven't experienced this kind of stuff before or, like,

53:22

after or at least to that extent. So what was your belief system

53:26

leading up to it? Like, are have you always been open to

53:31

an experience like that? Did it just not it did

53:35

it not make sense at first because you haven't? That's just

53:38

kinda what what I was curious about. Yeah. No. I mean, I've

53:42

never really, like honestly, just never really thought much

53:46

about it, I think, at that point. Right. Because this

53:49

was really before Damion like,

53:53

way before he was or that I knew was doing, like, the apparel

53:57

stuff, like, for real. And so it was

54:01

just never really something that was on my

54:04

mind, to think about. But when that

54:08

happened, I was like, oh, damn.

54:11

Like, I don't know. And it's just I've never I've

54:15

never, thank god, had any experiences,

54:19

like, crazy with paranormal

54:23

or whatever, but but that 1 is 1 I will never

54:27

forget. Beer kid was, like, never a question of Beer

54:31

the light no. Absolutely not. Like, that

54:34

light as it was it was like, it had to have

54:38

been. Like, the I don't even know. That just

54:42

yeah. Yeah. Because if I remember correctly because it's

54:46

at some point, I ended up living in that house for a little Beer,

54:50

and I think that's the only place I've ever lived that I've never

54:53

experienced something paranormal at. Beer.

54:57

That's saying a lot. So Mhmm. Right. That's as far as

55:01

I can remember, that's the only place I haven't had something that made me just

55:04

stop and scratch my head for a second. Like, what what the hell just happened?

55:08

Mhmm. So yeah. If if all of us

55:12

aren't laughing at that, I'm just saying, like, come on. Like, we know

55:16

Damion. I can't have a phone call with this man without some

55:19

shit bridging through the phone and happening in my own damn house. Like, I

55:23

don't know. Like, this dude Right. Yeah. This dude this dude is

55:26

the other end of a black hole collecting paranormal

55:30

shit. Just spraying it out. Yeah.

55:35

Oh, my. So for damn. I've been

55:38

trying to I've been trying to get her to go with me on an investigation.

55:43

Oh, what's the hesitation? You'll love it.

55:47

No. Look. We can

55:51

do all that. Our mom has went to Waverly Hills with me.

55:55

Okay? So you can you can go with me somewhere.

55:59

No. Look. My

56:02

sister and my brother-in-law are they're getting

56:06

ready to, go to the Devil's Tramping Ground

56:09

with Joey and I Oh, my god. Next week for my

56:13

birthday. So, like, they're down for it. Why can't why can't

56:17

Damion sister be down for it? So I'm saying Cat this is a direct

56:20

challenge. I only

56:24

agree because it was your first 100% and watch all the things,

56:28

but I will not go physically.

56:32

Good deal. Oh. Just Well just call her on the phone while you're doing it,

56:35

and then there she can be there electronically. Right.

56:39

Send the tour through the phone. Yeah. So No.

56:44

Good. No. Well, thank you for calling, Britney. Mhmm. Thank you.

56:48

Thank you for calling. You're welcome. Thank you for sharing. Thank you so much. Have

56:51

a good night. Mhmm. Sister. Bye. You too. Bye,

56:55

y'all. Bye bye. Bye. Bye.

56:58

Man, you know what? That made me think of, like do you

57:02

guys think, like, when the when it's a family setting

57:06

and you lose somebody who who everybody knows or

57:10

that everybody's close to, do you think that the ways that

57:13

they find to reach out to communicate can differ

57:17

based on the person? Mhmm. That's

57:21

what Cat saying. Next caller.

57:24

Hello. You are on the air. Can we get your first name and where you

57:27

are calling from? Can is anybody else?

57:31

Hello, caller. Hello, caller. You are live. Can we get your

57:35

first name and where you are calling from? I

57:39

don't hear nothing. I hear I hear very, very, very

57:43

slight mumbles. Is there any way that you would be able to hang

57:46

up and then call back immediately, you know, the equivalent of turning it

57:50

off and turning it back on? That always works, like, most of the time.

57:54

Is there any way you can do that for us? Like a

57:58

Nintendo cartridge. Yeah. Works about 53% of the

58:02

time. Alright. Alright. We'll have them call Black, see if we can get that

58:06

to work. It wasn't me. I didn't I know. I saw your hands

58:10

up like this. You were pushing the button. Replay.

58:14

I don't know if I hung up last time. I don't think I did

58:18

on that first call. We got it's all recorded. Alright. Let's see

58:21

if this works better. If not, I don't know.

58:26

Hello. You are live. Can we get your first name and where you're calling

58:30

from? Nope. Our first 2

58:33

calls were were just fine. Mhmm.

58:37

Yeah. Hang tight on there. We trouble. Yeah. Little little tech

58:41

troubles. Alright. I'm gonna pee my pants a little bit if that

58:45

call comes through and it's somebody we know that passed away.

58:49

Oh. I didn't even think about

58:53

that. I'm just saying. Is somebody trying to reach us from the other side right

58:56

now? You never know. Oh. Can you hear us alright? Oh,

59:00

I think they hung up. Cat wasn't me. Yeah. They're trying

59:04

again. So A trout. There you go. A certain

59:07

arm. Come on. Hello? Can you

59:11

hear us? Yes. I can hear you. There it is. Know if you

59:15

can hear me. We can. Hear you. Yes.

59:18

Hear you. We got you. Hear you. Yes. We're

59:22

good. Oh, finally. Okay. Thank you for bearing with us to that

59:26

struggle. No. Thank you for

59:29

bearing with me, Kristen. I am so sorry. I was the 1 that

59:33

called before and then hung up. And, yeah, I didn't know it

59:37

was going to go through. So I'm sorry to interrupt your story.

59:41

Oh, no. You're good. You're good. Okay.

59:44

Yeah. No. Thanks. Sorry. So okay.

59:48

I wanted to share my story about my

59:52

dog and, his last goodbye.

59:55

And, Yeah. It I it was it's a heart

59:59

full story, so it it's going to be a little bit hard to

1:00:03

relate it. Minding to retail it. Is that how you say

1:00:07

it? Mhmm. So yeah. So

1:00:10

Tolo was, was my dog. He was my partner

1:00:14

in crime. He was my accomplice.

1:00:18

Around that time, I was hiking a lot, which in Mexico might mean,

1:00:21

like, trespassing a lot because

1:00:25

here, everything is kinda owned

1:00:29

by someone. So you just have to be really stealthy.

1:00:33

Yeah. You have to be, like, careful. I mean, people here are kinda Boos.

1:00:37

Like, they don't care as long as you behave and you Mhmm. Because,

1:00:41

you know, the land is so beautiful. Like, the rural Mexico

1:00:45

is great, and people can be really warm. So,

1:00:49

we will do this hiking, just getting away. And,

1:00:53

he I will bring him with me, of course. But then he

1:00:57

was in my life in that other side that even if I wasn't

1:01:01

planning on taking him with me, he will come along. Like,

1:01:04

sometimes he will escape. He Gil he

1:01:08

was a hood beanie dog. Mhmm. Like, he

1:01:11

will, you know, climb the wall, jump the

1:01:15

fence, dig up a hole underneath the fence

1:01:19

and and escape, and then Mhmm. Reach me.

1:01:23

And, You didn't have a choice. You didn't have a choice. He was coming with

1:01:27

you. No. Exactly. He was.

1:01:30

Certainly. By the time my my ride my transportation

1:01:34

was there, he was already there. So it was the hassle to bring him back

1:01:38

home. So I would I would just thank him.

1:01:41

And he was very well liked by people because not

1:01:45

everywhere here is pet friendly, but they would allow him to

1:01:49

be there. And he was so well Beer, and he loved being

1:01:52

there with with me. So, he was my

1:01:56

partner in so many ways for 6 years. That

1:02:00

was the time that he was with me. And another another thing that

1:02:04

started to develop throughout this hiking in

1:02:07

which we have to be very quiet and stealthy,

1:02:11

we will kinda, like, develop this communication

1:02:15

that wasn't verbal. Like, I would

1:02:19

stare at him, or make some

1:02:22

movements with my head, with my eyes, with my hands, and

1:02:26

to communicate to him what we were going to do. Because what I didn't want

1:02:30

is to, you know, whistle in the middle of nowhere or to yell

1:02:34

at him for his you know, like, I didn't want to

1:02:37

because I was a lone woman with a Gil, like,

1:02:42

you know, somewhere that no 1 knew where I was.

1:02:46

And, so we kinda, like, developed this connection.

1:02:50

It was almost, like, psychic. Like, I will stare at him

1:02:53

and and say it in my mind, like, okay. We're gonna do this or

1:02:57

we're gonna take this direction or okay. You can, like,

1:03:01

walk around, but don't go far. You know, like, I Gil try to to

1:03:04

communicate that by looking at completely unspoken. He will get

1:03:08

it. It it was, yeah, it it was like a real

1:03:12

bond, you know, made out of Mhmm. And and this

1:03:15

exploration and this adventures that we were having together.

1:03:20

And, so he was he was the best

1:03:24

dog that I have ever had. I mean, I have had dogs, like, my entire

1:03:27

life, but I haven't had, like, another relationship with

1:03:31

a dog like I have with him. So it it was really

1:03:35

special. So by the time that, he lost

1:03:38

his life, I was having kind of, like,

1:03:42

a crisis in my life. Like, I was finishing a relationship.

1:03:46

I was deciding where to go. I was planning

1:03:50

on flying abroad and and try to,

1:03:55

to get to know the world a little bit more. So I was deciding to

1:03:58

leave. Was deciding to leave Mexico. Mhmm.

1:04:02

So, I was a little bit of what would happen with

1:04:06

him because we did have this relationship

1:04:10

of not being left behind. Like, I couldn't left

1:04:13

him Beer. You know? Like, it it wasn't like that. He was with

1:04:17

me everywhere. But I couldn't bring him with me this

1:04:21

time. It wasn't just not possible. So

1:04:25

because he kinda, like, escaped a lot, I

1:04:28

was kinda, like, concerned what will happen to him if he would eventually

1:04:32

get lost and not be able to go back home because he will do sometimes

1:04:36

things like that. Mhmm. And, I was concerned, you

1:04:40

know, if my mom will be able to handle that on her own.

1:04:44

So I was thinking on all that and all these changes that will happen in

1:04:47

my life and and these endings, the new beginnings.

1:04:52

But then this night, here in Mexico,

1:04:56

the day of La Guadalupana, which is in December, I

1:04:59

cannot remember when. It's something like around 12 December

1:05:03

12, something like that. I I don't recall well. But they will,

1:05:07

like, throw these firecrackers and these,

1:05:12

you know, these Black, these loud sounds and,

1:05:16

the spectacle of the fireworks and

1:05:20

stuff like that. So, every year is a hassle,

1:05:24

of course, because of the Boos and and the noise and how

1:05:27

they get affected by it. Mhmm. But this night,

1:05:31

my dog tried to run away from it, and he

1:05:35

he he couldn't. And I I

1:05:39

cannot tell you because I don't wanna be explicit on this show,

1:05:43

but it kinda like it was a chain reaction

1:05:47

and he lost his life. Oh. And

1:05:51

I wasn't home. I was with my damn

1:05:55

boyfriend at the time, which I was separating from. And my

1:05:59

mom called me and and he was so distraught. She

1:06:02

found my my baby's Joey, you know, my taller

1:06:06

body. And, but, at the moment

1:06:10

of notice, because this is how I am, like, I try to get myself

1:06:13

together the best I Cat. But the first thing

1:06:17

that came to my mind, it was like I

1:06:20

don't know. I hope no 1 gets this the wrong way,

1:06:24

but this was my feeling my personal feeling with this

1:06:28

thing was that he he was setting me free

1:06:31

somehow, you know. Because, I was just

1:06:35

starting this new journey in life, which I didn't know if I when I

1:06:39

was going to come back, what was going to be of me. Like, I didn't

1:06:42

know many things and Yeah. And I was

1:06:46

worried about him staying and leaving him

1:06:50

behind. So Yeah. And my mind, it was

1:06:53

like, okay. So he's doing this, the biggest sacrifice

1:06:58

anyone Cat make, you know, in order to to let me

1:07:01

go, to to to set me free Yeah. In this

1:07:05

new phase. And, so I was

1:07:09

so grateful to him, of course, because, I understood

1:07:13

that I needed to live a good life, you know, in order to

1:07:16

Mhmm. Make it worth it to him. Right.

1:07:20

And, so okay.

1:07:23

III can't have this idea within me, but, of course, the next

1:07:27

couple of days, I was sad and missing him.

1:07:31

And, so I was still hurting even

1:07:35

though I knew it was for the best somehow, some twisted maybe way

1:07:38

for some people, but III knew it was her fate

1:07:42

somehow, like, the destiny Cat we couldn't be apart.

1:07:46

Like, it was just not possible. I was so

1:07:49

missing him so much and, so I started kinda,

1:07:53

like, doing this visualization of

1:07:57

him being by my side, you know, the side that

1:08:01

he used to walk with me when he was alive. So I will

1:08:05

visualize him here here next to me. I

1:08:08

will see him. I will almost be able to feel it. I will I'm not

1:08:12

gonna say almost, like, I could feel the sensation of his

1:08:15

fur, of the point of his ears Cat it was

1:08:19

really soft. I could, recall so easily

1:08:23

his nose, which I I love to pop. And,

1:08:27

you know, his weak, like, everything. He's pale. Yeah.

1:08:31

I know. I yeah. I Yeah. Yeah. I I mean, I

1:08:35

think everyone doing my job. You know? Mhmm. Everyone

1:08:38

everyone listening knows exactly Yeah. Go. What the fuck you were

1:08:42

just talking about about, like Mhmm. Rubbing the soft little ears,

1:08:46

booping the nose. You know? Like, I have Yeah. I have my

1:08:49

kitty cat 1 of my kitty cats right under right under the studio desk right

1:08:53

now. And, you know, I I booped him in the nose when you said that.

1:08:56

I know a 100%. And it's that's the biggest heart

1:09:00

moment. But but please continue. I'm sorry. But we're we're

1:09:04

here with you. We're here with you. No. It's okay.

1:09:07

It's okay. It's it's nice to hear that people can relate to having a

1:09:11

pet. So I did enjoy my pet a lot. You know? I did I did

1:09:15

love him a lot. Like, I truly had this pet

1:09:19

life experience with him. So it was so easy

1:09:22

to vividly remember him and and having him there, you

1:09:26

know, if he was there. It wasn't like I could summon him Cat

1:09:30

to me and he was there. So it kinda, like,

1:09:34

became this thing, like, oh, okay. So you just you didn't go

1:09:37

away. Like, you just kinda, like, transmute yourself, you

1:09:41

know? Now you can be with me everywhere. I can take you with me to

1:09:44

my trip. Like, I can take you with me in my new life. You

1:09:48

know? You you are never gonna be away. You are here still.

1:09:52

So I will do that, like, whenever I felt like I

1:09:56

needed him or or or missed him. And, so he was really

1:10:00

present. So far forward

1:10:04

to maybe 8 months, something like that, and I'm on my trip in Canada.

1:10:07

And, of course, he's

1:10:11

there with me, but not as much as before because I'm discovering

1:10:15

this new life and meeting new people.

1:10:19

Of course, admiring new places, kind of, like, so

1:10:22

beautiful. And then going through all this, I'm not feeling as

1:10:26

miserable as before. I'm happy, seeing

1:10:29

the blessings in life. And I am,

1:10:33

a therapist, and as many therapists will tell you, like, we have

1:10:37

other friends that are therapists. Like, it's it's a it's a circle

1:10:41

of friends. We're not therapists. So

1:10:45

1 of my therapist friend asked me

1:10:49

to go to this therapy in Victoria, in British

1:10:52

Columbia, and it was these horses.

1:10:57

So I didn't know what it was about, to be honest. Like, I I thought

1:11:01

I shared of, you know, therapy with horses. I thought, okay. So we're gonna

1:11:04

ride horses. That's what I was expecting.

1:11:08

So I didn't think much of it. It was like, okay. New adventure.

1:11:12

Let's do it. I go over there. We're going to

1:11:16

this ranch. And then I realized that, no, we're

1:11:20

not riding horses. So I'm like, what's happening?

1:11:24

And they have this circle, this this, made

1:11:28

out of chairs with Cat carp on top. You can

1:11:31

be there comfortable, and then they fit you in this in the circle.

1:11:36

The horses were behind me and this

1:11:41

correct me. III think it's coral. Coran.

1:11:44

Coran. It's the same in Spanish as in English. Like, this, it

1:11:48

Damion the barnyard, but it was like this fenced

1:11:52

area for the horses to be. So the horses are there. They're

1:11:55

not particularly doing anything, like,

1:11:59

nothing flashy. They're just there. And, so

1:12:03

I can see the vineyard, and I can see the mountains around me, of course,

1:12:06

because it's beautiful Victoria. So I can see all

1:12:10

these hills full of trees and open skies, and then

1:12:14

my back is are the horses. So,

1:12:18

we're set Cat and this woman, which I assume it

1:12:22

was the therapist, but she didn't do anything, like, therapeutical. She just

1:12:26

turned to guide us into what was this project

1:12:29

about, the horses. So they will explain to me about these horses

1:12:33

Cat they have a bigger heart than the usual horses

1:12:37

do. So I don't know if I don't know if you

1:12:41

have known about these studies about the heart being

1:12:45

this, it's not electromagnetic, but some sort of like it

1:12:49

like, it can enhance some frequencies. Like,

1:12:52

that's how sometimes collective hysteria might work, you know, because

1:12:56

it's like so many hearts, like, tuning into the

1:13:00

same emotion. So what the horse's job

1:13:04

will be just to be there and to help with their heart

1:13:08

to move whatever is it that they move in

1:13:12

the emotional realm or the energy level. I don't

1:13:16

know. Like, there are so many there are

1:13:19

many layers when it comes to this, you know,

1:13:23

emotion, feelings, thoughts, frequency, sounds, like

1:13:27

but they somehow, like, do something. So she's telling

1:13:31

us all this and how these horses come from all over the world

1:13:34

and, that the only job that we have is to be

1:13:38

here in this group and blah blah blah. And then I just cannot

1:13:41

pay attention to the woman because I start having these feelings. Like,

1:13:45

I start to have these sensations

1:13:49

that are coming like in waves. Like,

1:13:53

if this then the notion was some sort of, like, Boogeymen, Report

1:13:57

of movement. Like, the when I say wave, it'll be like a

1:14:01

quiet calm sea wave. Like,

1:14:05

just very mellow but coming and going and more

1:14:08

going than coming. It was like an expansion of

1:14:12

something. So I'm feeling these things and,

1:14:16

and I start to feel like or like to identify that

1:14:20

something was a miss happening. Like, it's this this

1:14:23

movement is kinda like digging something out of

1:14:27

me. Like like, I'm feeling not

1:14:31

well. You know, I I was restless from my chair. Like, I I

1:14:34

just it was like I was having this palpitations.

1:14:38

I I was having, like, rapid breathing, like, I

1:14:42

couldn't breathe properly or deep enough or like like,

1:14:46

my body was sensing a shift and some sort of

1:14:49

emotion was coming out and I didn't know what it was. I couldn't have Beer.

1:14:53

So here I am trying to focus on the lady,

1:14:57

explaining all these things about the horses and such, and I'm I'm

1:15:00

trying to not Black, like, crazy on my chair, like, I'm suffering because

1:15:04

I felt like I was going through something Mhmm. That I didn't know what

1:15:08

it was. So kinda, like, confused and,

1:15:12

like, trying to pay attention, but I still at the same time, try to

1:15:15

restore what has happened within me and this sensation of the movement.

1:15:20

I turned around and I started to see these horses,

1:15:23

like, coming and some of them, like, staring

1:15:27

at me. You know, like like, then all of a sudden, I realized

1:15:31

that they knew what they were doing. You know, like, the

1:15:35

the Boogeymen that they were doing, like, the coming and going and this is

1:15:38

something that the lady was explaining. Like like, we will see them, and if

1:15:42

you don't feel anything, you just see horses being horses

1:15:46

just, like, coming and going and eating grass and just staring at

1:15:50

you and that's it. But because I was feeling like this

1:15:54

kinda like waves of energy or this ex

1:15:58

expansion of something, I didn't know what it was. And,

1:16:01

and I see them moving. And when they move, I feel something.

1:16:05

So I was like, oh, okay. So it's just damn. So I'm

1:16:09

trying to, like, look around. And by this time, I

1:16:12

I was sweating. I was having, like, heart palpitations. I

1:16:16

was, like, not feeling well at all. And,

1:16:20

and the lady I remember, she told me, like, oh, you're starting to feeling it.

1:16:23

Right? And I was like, yeah.

1:16:27

Yeah. I don't know what to do. I gotta ask, like, does it

1:16:31

it seems like you have

1:16:34

have, throughout your life, had a very deep connection

1:16:38

to, to nonhuman people.

1:16:42

Right? Like, I I always like to call, our little fur Boos,

1:16:46

like, the like my son's sitting under my desk and my other one's sitting

1:16:49

downstairs right now. You know, I Datta and Salem, my my 2

1:16:53

babies, my 2 loves, you know, they're they're they're nonhuman

1:16:56

people. They are people. Like, anybody that has

1:17:01

ever had the the most beautiful experience of having these little fur babies

1:17:04

come into our lives, we know for a fact they are literal

1:17:08

persons. Right? They are literal people, and

1:17:12

anybody that, denies otherwise deserves, a knuckle

1:17:16

sandwich. You know?

1:17:19

Yeah. Swear to god. Yeah. But, you know, I will go, like

1:17:24

yeah. I I would like to say that because, you

1:17:27

know, when you say people, like, we we do think of

1:17:30

humans. But I will say it's like a, in my case, it's like a

1:17:34

different realm of existence that I know very

1:17:38

little of. Right? Like, I don't know what my cat used to see. I don't

1:17:41

know what they used to experience, like, in the sense way, you

1:17:44

know. Like, I don't know how how well his inner life was.

1:17:48

Mhmm. But but he with me somehow. So this

1:17:52

Yeah. Empathy that we get with animals, it's it's an opening

1:17:56

of your mind, you know, somehow. Like, you start to to know that you

1:17:59

can communicate with others and you can relate

1:18:03

feelings without words. You just This is true. You Cat

1:18:07

exist or, almost I said.

1:18:11

This is this is something that I'm absolutely, this is

1:18:15

something that I'm absolutely loving about your call, and I do I

1:18:19

do, honestly, you deserve a whole episode, and I will, Joey and I will work

1:18:23

on that at some point. It's like having a word. It. I can I

1:18:27

can only I can only volunteer our channel? I'm sure other folks,

1:18:30

and I'm sure Kristen and and and Debus would also like

1:18:34

Cat. But, but but, but I

1:18:38

do I do know we need to make space for other calls, and I do

1:18:40

wanna say that, like, you spearheaded, you brought in, you pioneered,

1:18:45

the realization of, like, you know, these deep,

1:18:49

post passing context can happen with, you

1:18:53

know, with with our fur children as well, with our fur siblings

1:18:56

as well, however you wanna classify them. The ones that are

1:19:00

not, the ones that don't have Social Security

1:19:04

cards, you know, but are people in our lives.

1:19:07

Right? So, like, our little fur babies that are running

1:19:11

around, you know, we kiss 4, 000 times a day.

1:19:15

If any if anything Right. If if if any living thing is

1:19:19

going to have a connection to us, it it will be them. And you you

1:19:22

really pioneered bringing in the the thoughts and the concepts around,

1:19:27

post contact connection to the story. That you're

1:19:32

right. Could I look, but I do have time to finish my

1:19:35

my my my story. Right? Of course. Of course. Yes, please. Yeah.

1:19:39

Yeah. Or Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Please, please. I thought you were saying that. Oh,

1:19:43

yeah. We have other covers. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Go ahead. I mean, I'll go ahead.

1:19:47

And, yeah. But but thank you, Gail. Thank you for saying that.

1:19:50

Yeah. I mean, being someone

1:19:54

that is able to feel things, it does open the the

1:19:58

the world to other things. So here I am, like, feeling this

1:20:02

sensation, not knowing what's going on. But then something

1:20:06

else shifted. Like, I could feel on my left

1:20:09

side, I I could tell that Tolo was there. Like, my dog

1:20:13

was there. Tolo was there. And I didn't know why he was there

1:20:17

because I hadn't summoned him. You know? I hadn't done the the visuality,

1:20:21

the the work of calling him in memory type.

1:20:25

I I didn't do that. He was just there. And,

1:20:29

and he was so present Cat, he was insane that I couldn't see

1:20:32

him, but I knew he was there. So I'm there, like,

1:20:36

confused again. You know? Also, like, I think confusion.

1:20:40

I know it's not, like, a comfortable feeling, but confusion is a

1:20:44

great gateway to a flood of sadness.

1:20:47

So I'm in the midst of this confusion

1:20:51

of of what's going on. And then Tolo is there,

1:20:55

and I'm like, why are you here? So and then these feelings

1:20:58

of these waves coming and going, and I'm feeling, like, distraught.

1:21:02

And and I'm trying to figure everything out

1:21:06

when I I cannot recall, like, the whole process

1:21:09

of it. But at some point, like, this digging of

1:21:13

what is happening, it came to me so

1:21:16

clear. And I could send him saying,

1:21:21

I want you to let me go.

1:21:25

And that's what he was telling me. I

1:21:28

I am asking you to let me go. I want you to let me go.

1:21:32

And he didn't say why. He didn't he didn't give any reason.

1:21:36

It was just that clear message that I want

1:21:40

you to let me go. I want to go.

1:21:44

Oh. So then he's saying this, you know, and I'm, like, feeling

1:21:48

miserable inside, like, what? For real? And

1:21:52

and I'm just like, no. What? But why? You

1:21:56

know, I thought we were Yeah. Pals, you know, like lifetime pals and

1:21:59

buddies. Like, why are you saying this? And then I I

1:22:03

send this need of him, like, this almost begging.

1:22:08

Oh, please just let me know. And,

1:22:11

and then I'm so Cat, so sad for him because I mean,

1:22:15

for me, of course, because I was going to

1:22:19

be left behind now. You know, I was the 1 that is

1:22:23

going to be left behind. But there Beer is,

1:22:26

like, asking me to set him free.

1:22:30

So Yeah. I'm going through this and these emotions continue

1:22:34

and the horses continue doing the same. And then I'm I'm

1:22:38

feeling so bad. I remember, like, this palpitation,

1:22:42

the sweating, like, the the Yeah. The stress level,

1:22:45

like, rising up a little bit. And then I'm trying

1:22:49

to look for some solace and, my gaze

1:22:53

kinda like I looked up and then I start to see this

1:22:56

hill full of trees. So beautiful. I I was reminded of,

1:23:00

like, the place that I was in and then this ranch in the middle of

1:23:04

beautiful Victoria. And, I mean, the trees

1:23:08

with my III don't know how how very

1:23:11

sooners are you going to to relate to this, but it's like a

1:23:15

vision, almost like a in my mind's eye, I can

1:23:19

see this light coming from the Boos.

1:23:23

You know, like this. Yeah. It wasn't a tower of,

1:23:27

like, going up to the sky. It was like this light

1:23:30

within the forest that it was so intense. It was white

1:23:34

and so intense that it kinda, like, project projected itself

1:23:38

out of the leaves of the trees. And I'm looking at that

1:23:42

like, what? And I can see also, like,

1:23:45

this it could be depicted as, like, spirits, you know,

1:23:49

like this white Mhmm. Animals going through there, you

1:23:53

know, like, being rushed and and,

1:23:57

I'm just going into this. I understood it

1:24:01

was a source. It was the source. Like, they

1:24:05

were going back into a spirit.

1:24:09

Star Wars movies and how Damion has not seen any, so we're all

1:28:42

1:28:45

But how many Stormtroopers does it take to change a light

1:29:24

1:29:34

phone, it's just been us going back and forth.

1:29:38

This person whose name starts with an a, if you could give us a call

1:29:42

1:29:46

open for you at this moment. That number is

1:29:50

208-717-1611.

1:29:54

All you gotta do is use your phone for what, way back

1:30:05

1 1. You can type in the number, click

1:30:15

pro. So it is 208-717-1611.

1:30:21

1:31:09

there's any chance that you have us on playing in the

1:31:13

background, could you mute us or exit out of the tab

1:31:17

and then and then chat? Because I think we might be getting some weird

1:31:20

weird audio feedback here. Yeah. I'm in the mountains, and

1:31:24

there's nothing around me right now besides that. So

1:31:28

There we go. That's bad. Oh, yeah. Not okay.

1:31:39

hi to you right now. Hello. My name is Gil.

1:31:44

I can see you guys on your YouTube, but I I apparently,

1:31:48

technology is not my friend here. And I'm

1:31:51

sorry that I'm is it? Crashing in at the moment, but,

1:31:55

I was asked to join tonight. And, I

1:31:59

missed the topic, unfortunately, but, hi.

1:32:05

Hello. So so I believe, so

1:32:08

a while back, I posted and this is a message for, honestly,

1:32:12

everybody across all of these different channels, across RKB,

1:32:16

across, Paranormal Girl, across Black Cat Report, across

1:32:20

CNN Live, ABC, NBC, Fox News,

1:32:23

anybody that's posting this story. Right? We'll post a

1:32:27

poll about 2 weeks into the month, and we'll say,

1:32:31

hey, insert question relating to whatever we're gonna

1:32:34

have an episode about. And if somebody responds yes

1:32:38

to that, we're gonna follow-up with you. And so the question that I reached out

1:32:42

to you with or that you responded to and then I reached out to you

1:32:45

with was, have you ever had contact with a

1:32:49

loved 1 who's passed on? Very simple. I'm

1:32:53

not asking yeah. I there wasn't details about how did you have

1:32:56

contact, in what ways, in what methods, who wasn't. Nothing like that. Just

1:33:00

very simple, have you? And,

1:33:04

and you replied yes. And that's why I hit you up yesterday in

1:33:08

the 11th hour, and I was like, hey, girl. Can you cop on? That'd be

1:33:11

awesome. So so yeah.

1:33:15

But I but I do know you have more of a backstory. You've you've got

1:33:18

a you've got a tank load of stories behind you. But,

1:33:22

you know, I I believe that we all do, and I'm very, sorry

1:33:26

that I couldn't, be online so I can see all

1:33:30

you guys and things like that. But, yes, thank you,

1:33:34

Gil. I just couldn't help but, like, it was fun.

1:33:37

Like, I I love the black cat Report, and it's like, okay.

1:33:41

So these people kinda get me. I am a Spectrum

1:33:45

doula, and, I,

1:33:48

do birth, postpartum, and death, and spirituality.

1:33:52

And I've worked for a funeral home as a doula the

1:33:56

past, 5 years 4 years. And, you

1:33:59

know, like, like, like, bring it. What questions do you

1:34:03

have? Like, you know, it's just it's just it is what it

1:34:07

is. Yeah. You know? And and,

1:34:11

so have I connected with people? Abso

1:34:15

fucking lutely. You know, like, you know, I do

1:34:18

green burial. I do green burial. I'm a sick burial tender.

1:34:23

I believe in, when people, transition

1:34:27

in any way, shape, or form that you know?

1:34:31

Especially when, in the end of life transition,

1:34:35

you know, you put them on dry eye, you have 3 days till the soul

1:34:39

can leave the body, which might be in the heart,

1:34:43

which is very RKB, but typically through the

1:34:47

crown. And, yeah, like, people talk to

1:34:50

me all the time. Shit.

1:34:54

What what's a story you can tell us? Is what it is.

1:34:58

Yeah. What's the what's the most interesting story that you

1:35:01

Joey from DCR? What's, what's an

1:35:05

none as much interesting, but maybe the most recent story that you've had,

1:35:09

was was somebody connecting with you? Oh, you know,

1:35:13

it's it's it's, again hi. My

1:35:16

name is Andrea Fitzgerald, Norfolk Spectrum Jewel. I'm from Bellingham,

1:35:20

Washington. Oh, just my gosh. Like, it's

1:35:23

just, you know, just doing your own thing, and then, you

1:35:27

know, you see something in your awareness

1:35:31

Mhmm. And someone speaks to you, you know,

1:35:35

like or something shifts, like, you know, like,

1:35:38

things can move in a room or you know? And

1:35:42

Yeah. It happens often. Yeah. And

1:35:46

and and if you're aware of it So so let me ask And you don't

1:35:50

what's the question it. What's the

1:35:54

so so I actually am, in a very, very

1:35:58

odd way in the way life life is life is incredible about being

1:36:02

on, with the way that it squiggles around like a corkscrew between so many different

1:36:05

routes. I've actually been close

1:36:09

to, at a point in my life, a death doula,

1:36:13

in Tampa, Florida. She is from New

1:36:16

Zealand originally. Y'all are in a very small community.

1:36:20

There's a slight chance you actually know a New Zealand death

1:36:24

doula. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna I probably do.

1:36:27

Yeah. I I think there's, like probably do. Like There's, like,

1:36:31

30 of y'all in the United States. You know her. But we're

1:36:35

not gonna call you out because, some of your practices,

1:36:39

though, just in history, are not

1:36:42

legally just at the moment. And I 100% fully,

1:36:47

fully respect the work that you do and the the, I

1:36:51

wanna say, the gap that you fill in in society.

1:36:55

Society has a complete pit. Western society, especially

1:36:58

American Western society, has a complete, utter

1:37:02

pitfall when it comes to how we

1:37:06

process letting loved ones pass on. Mhmm.

1:37:10

We are shit. Like, you wanna talk about showing

1:37:13

your age? We show our age. America shows its

1:37:17

age as a country, as a developing culture. We're not

1:37:21

a culture, but we are a developing culture.

1:37:24

America shows its age and shows its developing culture when it comes to how we

1:37:26

handle death. We're a shit show with it. Know,

1:37:30

when you

1:37:34

know, when you when you compare to other cultures of the regions

1:37:38

of the world that spend 1, 000 of

1:37:41

years in very intimately developed communities

1:37:45

developing their process of grieving of culture, you know what I'm saying, of

1:37:48

of passing on. We ain't got shit on Cat. And death

1:37:52

doulas are at the full front like, they they are on the

1:37:56

front line. So when you say full spectrum Mhmm. I know what you're hinting at.

1:37:59

I'm calling you out, my friend. I I know I

1:38:03

know how far is it that, can go. I've got lots of things in my

1:38:07

tool belt to talk about. Yeah. Yeah. So

1:38:11

so I wanna ask you here. I I guess I wanna, like, focus

1:38:14

in because, nobody would be surprised if you had a 1, 000, 001

1:38:18

stories. Unfortunately, you know, again, like, like, a

1:38:21

1:38:25

1:38:46

1:38:50

1:38:53

1:39:55

sea turtle that's lived for a 150 fucking years. You know what I'm

1:39:59

saying? Any it doesn't have to be a nonhuman

1:40:03

connection, and I I swear to god, III mean that. Or it could be

1:40:06

a human connection, a a person connection, a personal

1:40:10

again, when I was 18, asked me what I'm Probably not

1:41:34

this. I wanted to be a lawyer or a full but,

1:41:38

no. But this is Report because something thing is is that

1:41:42

Something happened at 18. Oh, I'm just trying to figure out

1:41:46

Cat yeah. Yeah. No. No. No. I'm saying this is why it's so significant. I'm

1:41:50

sorry. Sorry for interrupting. Like, this happened so

1:41:54

early that it's, like, of course this That's why I went Yeah. The

1:41:57

delay. I'm my my apologies. I'll shut up. Okay. So the first thing I would

1:42:01

like to are you Gil? Are you Gil? I'm totally

1:42:05

Joey. No. That's Gil. I'm Joey. Oh,

1:42:08

great. Thank you. Okay. So my my first my first response

1:42:13

is active listening. Active listening is, like, it's, being

1:42:16

comfortable with silence. And, so

1:42:20

the I have many okay. So,

1:42:25

you know, like, it's just, can you bring me back to the Kristen? Because,

1:42:29

like, you got me no. As as a

1:42:32

doula, apparently, I'm a clairvoyant and

1:42:36

clairaudient, which I don't coin and

1:42:40

don't, make money off of that. However,

1:42:44

when I, like, I I have been called

1:42:48

to assist, birth, postpartum, and death, All

1:42:51

life transition. And where

1:42:55

I feel, you know, it it's a blessing.

1:42:59

Take it or leave it, whatever you call that. Like, I'm not religious. I'm

1:43:03

very spiritual. However, like okay.

1:43:06

So Mhmm. Joey, like, you're asking I'm

1:43:10

telling you, like, I've literally, went

1:43:14

to a person's place of,

1:43:18

where they died, brought them back to

1:43:21

our annex, put them in the cooler, all that kind of

1:43:25

thing, and, then dress them,

1:43:31

for their people to, lay them in

1:43:34

honor. And I'm a huge fan of that, and that's why

1:43:38

So I think that we've got a period of that I I'm so sorry.

1:43:43

Sorry. I was trying to bring it back to the original question, which was around,

1:43:47

like, an actual, like, a singular story.

1:43:51

I feel like everybody's, like, kind of, like, on board with understanding. So

1:43:54

what's the original question? Uh-oh.

1:43:58

Gil went mute there. You you back on, Betty?

1:44:02

No. He's mute. Yes. Can you hear me? Black on. I'm so so

1:44:06

sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm navigating between all the devices over

1:44:10

here. I just wanted to pull it back to to

1:44:13

the question of a singular of a singular experience. Because because,

1:44:17

again, like, you know, a death doula I think it was going

1:44:21

down that rabbit hole. Okay. Please continue then.

1:44:25

No. I I yeah. I picked, I've,

1:44:28

as a doula at a funeral home.

1:44:32

Past 4 years, I worked through the pandemic, never got sick or

1:44:36

the shit Cat shit, whatever. And,

1:44:40

this particular man was a man that

1:44:44

is largely known in in my

1:44:48

as a bird guy. Like, he he just was, like, kinda

1:44:52

knew everything. And he had a heart attack in his yard,

1:44:56

shit and pissed himself, picked him up, and then I

1:45:00

dressed him for his family, and they gave me a picture

1:45:03

of him. And

1:45:08

he always wore a leather jacket Paranorm with, like, the sleeves

1:45:12

inside. And I'm telling you, like, brass tacks.

1:45:15

Like, when somebody is dead, you know,

1:45:19

like, when you're trying to dress them this or that, it's

1:45:22

it's, you know, it's interesting.

1:45:26

However Yeah. This person, day

1:45:29

2 day 2 on his, the sun, like, his

1:45:33

his soul was leaving his body. I'm trying to put this

1:45:37

goth darn leather jacket on him, and he

1:45:41

grabbed my arm. He's dead, but he's, like

1:45:44

Oh. You know? Like Holy shit. Oh, yeah. And it was

1:45:48

like and my my coworker was

1:45:52

like we both looked at each other and were like, oh, hi.

1:45:56

You know? Like, it was it was it was very,

1:46:01

lovely and, but kinda weird.

1:46:05

Yeah. I'm just saying, like, like, my point is is

1:46:09

that back to this I don't even know. Like, I'm

1:46:13

sorry that I it was too hard to get into this conversation. I wanted

1:46:17

to be present with my face. But, you know, I I

1:46:21

Cat tell you many stories for the record. You know, like,

1:46:25

the thing is is that, in my experience

1:46:29

is being open and mindful

1:46:32

and, like, our people talk to us no matter

1:46:36

what. And this person didn't know me shit from peanut butter. You know

1:46:40

what I mean? And I just put his leather jacket on and adorn

1:46:43

him, you know, and and and lay and laid him an honor.

1:46:47

You know? Yeah. I did that. Like, that's

1:46:51

it. That's it. You know? And and it's it's a

1:46:54

huge, huge honor, and I hope I answered the

1:46:57

questions properly. You But You you know?

1:47:02

You you 100% did. You know, you don't have to think you don't have to

1:47:05

you don't have to think too much about it. You know? Yeah. Like, we

1:47:09

don't have to think too much about it. Like, just

1:47:13

don't. Sorry. No. That's

1:47:16

suck. No. Thank you for thank you for that. That was great. That was a

1:47:19

I did. Cat was a great it definitely shocked me when

1:47:23

you reached in and we're just like when

1:47:28

when you reached down with your story and we're like, oh, grab arms. Like, woah.

1:47:28

Okay. That story that story popped off crazy. And and and and what you're saying

1:47:30

too is, like, that was an honor and a blessing. And and and and what

1:47:34

you're saying too is, like, that was an honor and a blessing and to I

1:47:38

guess, for you to share that moment with the the spirit

1:47:41

of the person or afterlife or whatever. You know? Yeah.

1:47:45

Yeah. To they shared that with you to be to be an amazing part

1:47:49

of you. Well, and and, thank you.

1:47:53

However, like, I I was a kid I've been

1:47:57

a birth and postpartum doula for

1:48:01

17 Beer, and my dad died in 2015. And I

1:48:05

learned, like, I'm a sacred burial tender.

1:48:11

You know, I have so many things under my Boos belt, like, you

1:48:14

know, like, we can get this done spiritually and

1:48:18

holistically, and we can take care of our own. And and

1:48:22

that's basically where I'm at and within birth. You

1:48:25

know? Just it it's

1:48:29

simple. And that's where I feel people,

1:48:34

take it Boos legitimately. You know? And it's like, well,

1:48:38

we can just, you know, we can just make it a nice

1:48:41

meal, and we understand we're

1:48:45

having a birth or we're having a death Mhmm. Or

1:48:48

whatever life Kristen. And we can it can be

1:48:52

very simple is what I'm getting at. Yeah. Super

1:48:55

simple. Yes. And everybody like, you know, I'm an

1:48:59

advocate I'm an advocate for

1:49:02

that. You know? And, like, no upselling. Did

1:49:06

I answer that? You you did. Yeah. You You did, and it was

1:49:10

great. Would you mind actually I know I think a lot of listeners, if you're

1:49:13

okay with it, would you mind sharing your Instagram for us

1:49:17

just like you can say it at, you know, at your handle, if you're okay

1:49:21

with the sharing with us for our listeners? Oh, absolutely. I'm

1:49:24

sorry. Like I said earlier, like, I I my face isn't here. I'm

1:49:28

trying going down the rabbit hole. However,

1:49:34

my business 1 is Golden Willow Doula.

1:49:38

And, yeah, just like it sounds like a tree and

1:49:41

doula. But, you know, I get it. And that's the thing.

1:49:45

Like, and, apparently, I'm an anomaly.

1:49:50

But it's it's it's like I said like I said before,

1:49:54

it's super simple. It's it's that's the thing. It's so

1:49:58

simple. There's Yeah. I don't know. Like I

1:50:02

want I wanna give you a shout out. My heart. You know? I wanna give

1:50:05

you a shout out while we're on the air, while you're still here. And I

1:50:09

I wanna let you know Cat, and I'm I'm

1:50:13

I hit you up on Instagram. You should get a message. I'm gonna call you

1:50:16

after the show if you're available, and I'm gonna send you the way that

1:50:20

my audio has been messing up on my end tonight. I'm so sorry if

1:50:24

there's been anything awkward, but I did at some point. Y'all

1:50:27

check the cameras. I I put my phone down or I put my

1:50:31

headphones down on top of my phone so that people could hear what was going

1:50:34

on in the room, and I recorded it. You'll hear why I was

1:50:38

disoriented. Like, I just came down from LSD. So,

1:50:43

like but, no, I I wanna nothing. But

1:50:48

but no. But but I

1:50:52

wanna give a massive I wanna give a massive

1:50:56

shout out to, to all the death

1:50:59

doulas, right, that are out there in the

1:51:03

world. The practice is gorgeous.

1:51:07

Like, if you wanna talk about some of the most beautiful

1:51:10

moments in life, it's

1:51:14

to experience the passing of a loved 1 via the

1:51:18

care, the the guidance, the understanding, and the direction

1:51:22

of, of a damn good deaf doula. Like, it is

1:51:25

1 of the most needed things in Kristen culture that

1:51:29

I would say because, hey. Guess what? We're all gonna fucking die

1:51:33

someday. It's gonna happen. Everyone you know and love,

1:51:37

including your fucking self, we're all gonna fucking die. I'm sorry if

1:51:41

that's breaking news, and I'm sorry we try to forget that all the time. Die,

1:51:44

dear 1. It's going to happen, and a good death doula

1:51:48

brings in something that every single

1:51:51

culture, religion, and faith on the planet

1:51:55

has recognized and developed hyper accurate

1:51:59

practices for Cat fit into a complex cultural

1:52:03

schema. Everyone on the planet has

1:52:06

recognized Cat, and modern Kristen society I don't just

1:52:10

wanna call it out because it's modern Western society, but modern

1:52:14

Western society has neglected this, has tried to

1:52:17

ignore that death takes place. You

1:52:21

know, we try to act like age is a crime committed against us.

1:52:25

And, like, that's a that's a quote from a philosophical book, but it's the

1:52:29

truth. And what death doulas do

1:52:33

is is they bring in a a an absolutely

1:52:37

beautiful transition for folks in their moment of

1:52:40

their their biggest needs. So you are the per

1:52:44

you are the perfect person to, And I know you do more than death I

1:52:48

think but that's a big deal. You were the perfect person to end this show

1:52:52

Boos, so I wanna give you a round of applause and say thank you for

1:52:55

what you do and what you provide to folks.

1:52:59

Can I just ask real quick Black you? Yeah.

1:53:02

Before before we let you go. So I I have people in my chat trying

1:53:06

to find you on Instagram. Would you just so sorry. Would you be able

1:53:10

to spell out, yeah, just 1 more time? Give us that

1:53:14

at on Instagram because people are very interested. Go ahead. I

1:53:18

1:53:36

Cat. And it's it's the truth. And if guess what?

1:53:40

This is the thing. Like, it's so simple. We're

1:53:44

only going back 50, 60 years

1:53:47

with birth and death. Like, we bring it

1:53:51

home. We take care of our own, and it's not

1:53:54

scary. You know? Yeah. That's what I do.

1:53:58

And that's it. I very much appreciate it. And I'm sorry

1:56:16

Yeah. I have 1 last word. But I guess I'll hold out. Do you wanna

1:56:20

hold on to it? This is the the emotional 1. Right?

1:56:24

A little bit. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? I'll I'll leave it to

1:56:28

you. It's up to you, man. Mhmm. Gil, tell us about

1:56:31

episode 5, and I'll I'll decide by by then. Episode

1:56:34

Cinco. Pippa's go.

1:56:40

Now episode episode 5 is

1:56:43

going to be an interactive, game show

1:56:47

style, Colin, for folks that love Art Bell, for

1:56:51

folks that know Art Bell and the old Coast to Coast episodes. There

1:56:55

was a classic, super, super, super classic

1:56:59

thing that he would play on random nights, which is what

1:57:02

every night of our show is, and it is called Truth

1:57:07

or trash. It's very simple. What the deal

1:57:10

is is any caller can call in, and they tell

1:57:14

a story to us and to y'all out

1:57:18

there listening. And we then

1:57:22

keep that caller on the line. They they stick there with us.

1:57:26

People in the chat are going to, you know, message in, and they're gonna

1:57:30

say, hey. That story was real. Hey. That story was trash. You know? Was the

1:57:33

truth? Was it trash? We're all gonna vote on

1:57:37

it. We're gonna set a time limit, say, 2 minutes, 3 minutes,

1:57:40

totally arbitrary number at this point. You'll find out more when you tune in. Now

1:57:44

we're gonna set a time limit. Everybody votes, and everybody has a

1:57:48

window to ask a question. Right? We're gonna ask

1:57:52

the caller a question live on air. So the goal of

1:57:55

this is lie through your fucking teeth or tell

1:57:59

us an insane truth. Some

1:58:03

crazy fucking shit that happened to you. You accidentally

1:58:06

ramped off the Statue of Liberty on a Ski Doo. You know? Like,

1:58:10

I don't know what the fuck happened. You know? But you actually fucking did

1:58:14

that shit, and you're trying to convince us otherwise.

1:58:17

Now we're all gonna say truth, or we're gonna say trash. When

1:58:21

we get to a certain number, we're gonna say, alright. Polls

1:58:25

are in. Truth or trash. The vote is truth or the vote is

1:58:29

trash. You come at us and you say, ah, it's actually

1:58:33

true. All the losers have to take a drink. It's a drinking show, by the

1:58:36

way. I don't know if you noticed the first word in the name of the

1:58:40

the show. But we're gonna take a

1:58:43

drink. So call in and trick us, whether it's truth or whether

1:58:47

it's trash. But this is an interactive show. So if you have been listening and

1:58:51

you've been like, fuck. I don't have stories for these topics.

1:58:55

Now is your chance. Lie through your fucking teeth. Pick your

1:58:58

favorite fucking host and just work your ass off

1:59:02

for the next, you know, 29 days, 30 days, whatever,

1:59:06

to convince them. Lie to them and be like, I knew that

1:59:10

motherfucker was a fool. So that

1:59:15

is truth or trash. How much more time do you need, Boos? I've been over

1:59:18

here trying to stretch this out for you. Ram stand

1:59:22

Beer. Deboos. You got this. Alright.

1:59:26

Okay. So, of course, all you guys

1:59:30

know about Keith. For those that may not know,

1:59:34

who hasn't listened before, Keith was my best friend of

1:59:38

20 years growing up. Police officer in our hometown,

1:59:42

shot and killed in the line of duty in 2011. For the

1:59:45

longest time, I went by his grave, like,

1:59:49

every fucking week for, like, 3 or 4 years

1:59:52

straight every single week. And, of

1:59:56

course, there would be random things that would happen that would be like, well, I

1:59:59

wonder if that was him showing me something. But I

2:00:03

remember distinctly having 2 very vivid dreams

2:00:06

that involved him. 1, I actually

2:00:10

sent you guys in the chat, you know, a couple of months ago that popped

2:00:13

up on my Facebook memory that I I Boogeymen about, but, luckily, I've recorded it

2:00:17

on Facebook. Mhmm. And I was like, oh, shit. I forgot about

2:00:21

that. This one's not really the emotional 1. The the the

2:00:24

second 1, I'll I'll tell, is kind of emotional. But in this

2:00:28

dream, me and him were doing what we love to do. We

2:00:32

was going out. We were checking out this abandoned house that we heard was

2:00:36

haunted, and some chick had gotten murdered there. We went

2:00:39

in, you know, checked out this room,

2:00:43

seen some something written on the wall where the girl

2:00:46

supposedly was murdered. Seemed written on the wall,

2:00:50

beware of her smell or something. I'd have to go back and find it. Or

2:00:54

or it was something really Beer. And then we suddenly said, oh,

2:00:57

it does smell like that. Then we hear somebody from outside hollering

2:01:01

at us, and we look out the window, and there's a woman outside. And she's

2:01:05

like, hey. Bring me the brick from that Boos. And we bring her this brick,

2:01:08

and we come back inside. And, like, Keith just, like,

2:01:12

disappears. Then he reappears out of the same bedroom

2:01:15

wearing totally different clothes, and it was really weird. And

2:01:19

I don't know really what that meant if it was just

2:01:23

him saying, hey. Continue doing what you're doing with the paranormal. I

2:01:27

don't know what that was, but the 1 that really got me, we were back

2:01:31

in high school. And, you know, I've been out of school

2:01:35

22, 23 years now, right back

2:01:38

in high school. And we're me and him's walking down the hall, you know,

2:01:42

just chit chatting. And I'm you know, I remember just looking

2:01:46

over at him talking, and we come up on a couple of our other friends

2:01:49

and they're just like, man, who are you who are you talking to? I'm like,

2:01:52

what are you what are you talking about? You're just you're not talking to anybody.

2:01:56

I was like, yeah. Well, I'm talking to Keith. And

2:02:00

they're like, dude, Keith's not there. I'm like, what do you mean? And

2:02:03

I'm like, he's right he's right fucking here, dude. And they're like, no, man. He's

2:02:07

he's been gone. And I look over and he

2:02:11

just he just, like, smiles at me and he

2:02:14

just, like, fades away. And,

2:02:21

Like, I remember waking up kinda like this, like, choked up. Like, what what

2:02:25

did that mean? Was he letting me know, hey. I'm

2:02:29

good. You know? Hey. Don't forget about me. Like, I always wondered, like,

2:02:33

what that dream meant. And

2:02:38

that 1 just always really stuck with me. I didn't I've never forgot that 1.

2:02:41

The other 1, I kinda forgot. But that 1, I just never it

2:02:45

was like it was in high school, and that was what was really weird

2:02:49

because he got killed, like, 10 years after we were out of school.

2:02:54

It was just I don't know. It was really strange, and I never really knew

2:02:57

what that meant. And, you know, there's times where

2:03:01

something random will happen. I was like, man, that's gotta be Keith doing something to

2:03:04

mess with me. And my wife will my wife never had never met

2:03:08

him. You know, we didn't get together for me and her got

2:03:11

together 10 years after he died, and she's like, I I can tell when he's

2:03:15

around. And but

2:03:18

that that dream, I I Cat never forget it. Like,

2:03:23

clear as day, he just looked at me, smiled, and just faded. Like, when they

2:03:26

said he wasn't there. And it was just

2:03:30

it it always just stuck with me.

2:03:35

2:05:09

program, this new tool. It's called Google, and I am a

2:05:13

sarcastic asshole who is trying to lift the mood Cat the

2:05:17

moment before dropping the name of our

2:05:20

show. So it Google. It it means a lot

2:05:24

of numbers. That's basically what it means. It means AAA large amount.

2:05:28

Fun fact, Google's original name

2:05:33

original name before they they rebranded. This is the importance of

2:05:36

rebranding and why you should hire motherfuckers like me.

2:05:41

Google's original name Black Cat. Is Black

2:05:45

scratch. Oh. I'm I'm not

2:05:48

fucking shitting you. You

name of Google was backscratch. Wow. So

I just cleansed the palate. You're welcome. Find us at

2:06:16
