Are we are we are we going? Maybe.
Goddamn, Gill. You never, like, let us know.
Apparently, we're live. Welcome to episode 3 of Beer,
booze, Boogeymen. Yes. I'm excited. This is gonna be
awesome. Yeah. Nothing on the screen, but,
putting the call out there to the chat. How are you guys doing
this evening? Mhmm. I'm stellar. You're
stellar. Considering the last 3 weeks have been hell.
So I'm stellar. Oh, there we go. We are up.
Yes. It just popped up on me as well. Alright. Go
ahead and give us that intro again, Dee. Again,
episode 3, beer Boos mug bite, and I fucked that up big
time. We
are 100% Report, ready to go. We are crushing
it. We are because this is episode 3 of beer, booze,
and Boogeymen, and we are pretty pumped about this episode.
Right? It's gonna be spooky AI and haunted electronics,
miss Kristen's idea. Yes. Yes. It
was all a ploy just to get one
story of a haunted Furby or a Teddy
Ruxpin. So I'm hoping I got high hopes tonight. Somebody
is is gonna send 1 in or call in, because, yeah, I didn't I
didn't have one of those when I was a kid. What about you guys? I
never had a Furby. I had a Teddy Rumskin, I'm pretty
sure. I had a talking ALF doll. That was pretty rad.
Al oh, ALF. Oh. Yeah. ALF. The alien. I don't know if you remember what
he said. I don't remember. It was a
drawstring talking doll. So me.
Gil me.
I don't I don't know. It it's it's it's, everybody's fitting in
so natural here, but I I do believe we have an introduction that needs to
be made. Do we? What are you talking about? I don't think there's any new
faces in the crowd. Joey. We forgot about Joey. Joey. Welcome
Black. I was I got the guest spot for Richard.
Let's see. Not Joey is not in prison this time. So No. I am
not No. He put a guitar in the background. You guys. Look at that. I
do have a windy ston Cat. I have a window, so that's kinda nice.
Yes. Let's do an introduction. Let's let's have our
special very, very special guest Yes. Introduce himself.
What's up, everybody? My name's Innerscare.
I read scary stories on YouTube to help people fall asleep.
I'm really excited to be here. Really happy. This is definitely in my
wheelhouse, you know, listening to scary stories, telling scary
stories, you know, talking to people about their scary stories. That's one thing that I've
never done is really talk to people about their stories. So I'm really excited
about tonight. This is gonna be a Black, and look forward to just hanging
out with y'all. Yeah. We've really been looking forward to
this. Gotta tell you. Your show is awesome. I've just
been screaming it from the rooftops on my episodes. Everybody's
got to check out inner scare sleep. I personally am one
of one of those. I'm I'm your demographic. I love to fall asleep
into scary stories told in a melodic soothing voice.
That's my jam, ma'am. Thank you. Yeah. Oh, that
soothing Gil voice you guys got there. It is a a a
fabulous voice. Alright. Well, let's go
around the around the circle. You know the drill, guys. What are y'all
drinking?
Hello? Yo. I'll go first. Okay. Go for it. Voodoo Ranger.
Voodoo Ranger. Nice choice. It's a classic. It is a classic. It's terrible is
what it is. She Woah.
That's fired. Woah. Woah. That's brewed Nashville, my
friend. Somebody get Keemstar here. We we're gonna have a drama alert.
Go ahead. Go ahead, Joey. We somehow got involved in, like,
Kendrick Lamar and no. I'm
pissed that's going back in Beer already. We did. We just we
are in it right now. Oh, okay. Well, perfect.
Shiva India Pale Ale, IPA, pretty good. Made my Asheville
Brewing Company. That sounds good. Sounds very good.
That's right. Alright. I'll go. So I went with, stepped out
of my sasquatch comfort zone and went with a sea monster.
It's colossal Claude Claude
by Rogue. Cloud. Yeah. I
can't find shit like this. I mean, I did find something that's
that relates I found something that relates to the episode since it's about
electronics and everything. So it's called doctor RKB.
It's a berry lemon sour, and it doesn't really have much of a taste. So
I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing for my my
my end. So Wouldn't it be funny if
it tastes like battery acid? That would be wild.
Yeah. Yeah. So What are you drinking over
there? Inner scare? I do not drink alcohol. So
I am a huge energy drink fan, though. Right?
So I'm drinking Interscare's very own. This is a very
first, and this is the first time that I am showing it or announcing
it to anyone. This is nightmare fuel. It is a
prickly pear flavored energy drink. Nice.
Preorders coming soon, everyone. Alright.
Hey. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm talking
about. I love me some energy drinks. Yes.
Mhmm. Especially Cat we get through the day. Right. Absolutely.
You can fall asleep with Interscare sleep stories and wake up with Interscare
energy drink. Hell, yeah. You are cornering the market
for real, Awake and asleep. Honestly, it's the
perfect perfect drink to have when you're too scared to sleep. So
That is true. That is true. Yeah. Well, guys,
let's see. So we are talking spooky AI and
haunted electronics tonight. I think
we've all kinda got a story here or there. I do have something
special to share with everyone who is watching on the live and going to
watch the replay on this. So I'm gonna introduce somebody here
right now and, it kind of explain the dealio if it's is it a good
time to do this? I think so. Do it at the Cat the beginning, and
then we'll see Yeah. How things go in the show. Right.
So this is
Lucky. There. He's looking at you. This is Black.
And Lucky is a haunted doll
that was gifted to me by my friend Dwayne Zazewski.
Dwayne is in the comments. Thank you for jumping on, Dwayne.
So the story with, this creepy ass,
Seahawks doll, which is his other name. That's what Dwayne calls him.
He would do stuff in Dwayne's apartments. He would we got a couple of videos
from Dwayne. He would knock off matchbox cars, little, you
know, little cars off his TV stand. We got a video of him knocking out
a a hat out of a closet, I believe. So there was there was some
activity going on, which led Dwayne to, believe that this
doll here is haunted. And I said, bet,
and he sent it to me. So
because I don't know how I feel about haunted objects. I've talked about this on
my show. And so I've had Lucky here for,
about a month and a half, I believe, maybe 2 months. And he's just
been chilling in my studio. And I called him Lucky right
away because as soon as I got him, some some weird stuff happened, but some
very cool stuff happened too. So I was like, okay. Your name is Lucky. Now
the deal with Lucky, though, is he does not have
batteries in him right now. Apparently, when you put batteries in
him, he gets a little wild. So for tonight's episode, for
the first time of owning Lucky, I'm going to be putting batteries
in him, and I'm gonna set him right here, and we'll see if anything happens.
So he's gonna join us in the live, and
and that's what's gonna happen. So gonna call my bluff
here. Look. I'm I'm across the
he my vote is he immediately goes off on a weird racist
rant against against people from Saskatchewan. Just
like like, what? Black. I'm clear
across the country from Kristen, and I'm terrified for her right now.
Are you scared? I am. I'm, like, a little nervous.
See, apparently, he's he says something or sings something. I've never heard Lucky's
voice. It's gonna be creepy as shit, is what it's gonna
I think Gil probably right. It sings something super racist. What's the sketch?
It it's a Seahawks. It's wearing a Seahawks jersey. So I'm gonna
assume that it's not gonna win a Super Bowl since 2014.
Oh. When they put their shots fired. All just stoking the flames here.
Last one. Here we go.
I wonder if that is Russell Wilson. Oh, man.
I'm pushing the button. Oh god. These are freshly
charged batteries. Already did. Nothing's
happening. I'm a set him as I'm a set him aside Yeah.
Here. Is there a on switch?
No. I don't believe so. Nope. Just the button. I mean, don't pull
pull a pants. I can't do that. You know, like, jeez.
It's not that kind of show. This is how
lucky becomes unlucky real fast. Dwayne
real pissed with reason. Dwayne says he's had no weird
stuff happen since I mailed it off to you. I
have had some weird stuff happen since I got him, and that was
Report batteries. You had weird stuff happening when you were
unboxing it. Yes. I did. Yeah. From from
day 1, and we took video of this. It was very strange. So I
had Lee videoing me as I unboxed
Lucky. He was inside of a a pack, so there's a bunch of other
stuff. And the moment in the video when I get to, like,
open his pocket of the bag, the video just cuts out,
shuts down. So so we had to start that
recording. Oh, I don't have it handy. Shoot. I sent it to the group chat.
I'm sorry. But that is what happened. Everybody in this group knows it. They saw
it. And then a couple other things. Your
dogs were freaking out. They were free they were. You can hear it in the
video. They were just going wild in the background as I was trying
to pull this doll out of this bag. About a week afterwards
or so, it was just a random like, I'll I'll turn my phone on do
not disturb every now and then just when I just lead need, like, a night.
But, randomly and I did not turn it on do not disturb.
Sometime during the night, turned on do not disturb, woke up the next morning to
just a flood of, like, missed emails,
calls, texts. So I blame Lucky. And
then the third thing, one last thing, happened recently. I was
filming a video for this episode about haunted electronics,
and I ended up using a Voodoo doll that I got a while ago in
the video. I was gonna use Lucky. I was gonna use him.
But thinking wisely, I came to him first. I was like, look, Lucky. I would
like you to be in my video. If you don't wanna be in my video,
you need to do something to let me know. And right at that second, I
got a text on my phone. So I was like, okay. And I went and
got the voodoo doll instead. Much safer bet.
Oh, I do like the picture.
There's just, like, one very unlucky, like,
postal carrier, just like postal service worker that just absorbed
everything on the way to your house. It's like, alright, Lucky.
If you don't wanna play the video, just do something. Do anything. The guy's just
hair just catches on fire, and he's just running in the background in your neighborhood.
And that man, that postal service worker was Frank Oldfield.
Frank Oldfield. Man, dude, didn't
single handedly take down the Society of the Banana.
Nope. Alright. What do you guys,
say we get into some stories? Although, I I do recall,
mister inter scare, you know, you are you are a guest on
this show. And, when we were talking to you before, you
mentioned you had a strange experience.
Yeah. Yeah. You wanna start us why don't you start us off with the
stories? Alrighty. Real quick, I wanna say hi to,
Wendy Bingle, Horror on the Rocks, and Cat
Damion, and Mrs. Interscare. Thank you guys for joining over on my stream. I
appreciate you guys being here. Alrighty.
So when I was about it's probably
probably 10 years old when I got the stereo. Right? But I had a
stereo. It It was really old. It had, like, the tape recorder on
it and, like, the tape player and had, like, a 5 disc CD
changer in it or whatever, but it was one of those ones. And I was,
like, 10 years old when I got it. But whenever I got
into middle school, so I was probably around 13 years old or so when
this happened, it started randomly
turning on to a random static channel on the radio. Every time I
would be home from school, it would just be on, and it would be on
random static. So I thought, okay. Maybe I
turn like a like an alarm or something on on it. You know? So I
just would turn it off every Damion never went through the settings to figure it
out or whatever. Well, one day I'm sick, so I
stay home from school. And I'm sitting in
the living room with my mother, and it
turns on to this random static channel again. So I'm
like, okay. Well, this is the time it does it every day. So I go
and I turn it off. And then I go back in the living room, and
about 5 minutes later, it turns back on.
So this time I'm like, okay. Maybe there was like a
sleep function or something. So I go and I turn it off again, and this
time, I unplug it because I don't wanna keep having to run back and forth.
Yeah. About 5 minutes later, with it unplugged,
swear to God, hand on the Bible, the radio turns back
on. It's on the static channel. I go
in the room to check it out, and it's on, and I can see
the plug Gil unplugged. Oh. Wow.
Oh. Okay. I I I have to
ask. Did you check for batteries? Did it take batteries? It did not take any
batteries. It was one that only plugged in. So
I'm assuming that whatever entity or spirit or
whatever was in the home was
emanating enough energy to be able to turn it on and
do that every day at the same time.
Wow. Wow.
I don't know what I would do. I'm good. I'm good with that. Throw it
away? Well, at the time, I didn't really know what was happening. You know? I
was just a kid or whatever. I was like, that's weird. Like, you know, whatever.
It it happened. I got rid of it whenever we moved houses or whatever.
How long did that take you? Like, every night even after you saw it to
be like, woah. Let me toss Cat. I bet we better move and get rid
of it. You moved. You moved because of it. That's that's why. Right? Yeah.
About about 7 years later, actually. So about
7 years, every day, it would turn on. And I would
and, yeah, I never got rid of it until we moved when I was 18.
Wow. Every day for 7 years. That's wild. Yeah.
What's the radio to have in case of a natural disaster? Like, you just
never know it. You never need to charge it.
Right. Honestly. You know? Can you can you
imagine all the when if if the power
ever goes out, like, solar flare knocks all the power out, and then everybody
knows what's haunted from now on because those are the only thing that
work after all the power's gone.
Right. Oh, man. Isn't that fun Cat that totally traumatic and
creepy stuff that happens to us when we're kids? And we don't think about it
till, like you know, sometimes decades later, like, looking back, like, that was
horrible. That was horrifying. Whatever that was. I don't know. It was weird.
Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Lot of
stuff. Well, hey. Real
quick. Just wanna jump in. So we are gonna be accepting calls a little bit
later in the show. Can I just make the announcement right now? If you
are thinking about calling in, if we pick up your call, be sure your
radio's turned off in the background. Just wanna put that
in there. Alright. Yes. My life. Speaking of background, I
apologize if you hear a child screaming in the background. I
I didn't wanna say anything. I was like, that sounds like a ghostly voice. Yeah.
I know. That's We were just thinking that Black was prepping the boys. Oh. You
know? That's inter screams in the background. That's Enter screams.
That's awesome. There were comments coming in on, the
Black Cat Reports channel, about hearing screaming in the
background was being associated with Black. So we did we already
debunked 1 this evening. Right? Right. Right. I
do apologize for that. My Alexa. No. No. It wasn't it wasn't not at all.
Like, Risky For The Biscuits said that they had to put on their
headphones. They were like, is is that what I'm hearing? Is that what I'm they
had to, like, go put on their headphones. And they're like, holy shit. It is
there. You know? But I guess
they got a you know, they've got they've got your vocal
gravitas to, like, live up to your tenor delivery. So they got to start practicing
young, you know? That's right. Yep. He's definitely working out as
long as he does that.
Boos stuff. So what other creepy electronic
stories do we have? You know, we're in group. We have an internal in
here. We need to have a scream counter right above my
head. Right. Every time you hear it be great. Take a drink.
Yep. Yep. Yep. Oh, that's it. Yep. Well, let's do a
listener story. What do we, what did we get submitted to us?
I've got I've got one pulled up. Awesome. Let's do
it. Sent in by my buddy, Chris,
from Fearful Encounters. If you guys don't
know Fearful Encounters, go give give them a follow on Facebook,
Instagram, TikTok. They they got some good stuff going on over there.
So, Kristen, this may make you happy. This is about a
Furby. Making my dreams come true, ma'am. So
so here's here it is. So so growing
up in the late nineties, early 2000, there was a popular
toy called Furby. My sister had one, and she and she didn't
want it anymore for some reason. She ended up giving it to me, and
I didn't think nothing about it. I just thought it was a toy. I mean,
we bought bought it brand new from a store, so there was nothing creepy behind
it. At the time, though, when I went to bed right around midnight
or so, the thing would automatically turn on and would say, woah.
So, of course, starting to get up and turn it off, thinking nothing of
it. Maybe I thought it was just a malfunction, but this was
happening multiple times throughout the night. But the main
creepy part about this story is I finally took it down into the living
room, and I left it on our TV stand. I decided to sleep in
the living in the living room that night. Well, it was just me and
my mother that evening while my dad was out of town. I
was already asleep on the couch, and, apparently, my mother heard the thing going off
in the living room and was acting like it was getting fed and
making that sound good or whatever it was.
It creeped my mom out. She eventually took the batteries out.
Then she went to her bathroom, said she was getting ready for RKB, and she
said in the mirror, she was looking at her closet behind her, and
the closet door was opening up. She shut it, and it opened up
again. Then she heard the Furby going off one more time in the living
room, which remember, the batteries were already taken out. She
woke me up and made me come sleep in bed with her because I freaked
her out a little Beer, but we always joked and laughed about the situation,
maybe thinking Cat was a malfunction of the Furby. Deep down, my mother
wouldn't lie to me. She really didn't believe in the paranormal or anything
about that. She was a real religious lady, but
this to this day, we don't know what it was. And I'm not and I'm
not saying it was paranormal, but I could tell you this was our Chucky of
the late nineties.
Damn. I read that earlier, and I was like, that's pretty wild. We're taking the
batteries out, then the closet door opening, and it's still making sounds.
It's that's a little weird. It's a little weird. Mhmm.
Mhmm. Yeah. For a second in that story, I thought that she the
mother was gonna take the Furby and start drowning it in the sink when
she grabbed it because it's like, no. No more. Right.
Well, thank you, Chris, for sending that in, man. I appreciate it. Yeah. Yeah.
Thank you, Chris. Thank you. Oh. That's awesome. That scratched the
itch. Now if somebody could just call in about a teddy
rug Boogeymen. Yes. Well, I'm I'm I'm getting a bunch
of stories over here. Quick little stories from Dwayne. Dwayne, I'm gonna
need you to call in later because you got some you got some good
stuff. I'm a take the opportunity here and just say hey to a couple of
folks. Heidi, thank you for jumping on. Melissa, Dwayne, of
course, and, Frank. I saw you in your Frank Triggs, thank
you for jumping over here from, we know each other from Nocturnal Frequency
Radio. Thank you so much, man. Thanks for joining. Alright.
Back to you guys. Yeah. That was nuts. I was
What? I need to do a shout out here, specifically to
Harry Carey. Harry Carey. I'm so sorry to
laugh, Kristen. It's when I I looked at our
chat, and Harry Carey may have had the comment at the evening. I'm gonna call
it early. It was just my Furby channel, Stanton Friedman.
Yeah. Stanton Friedman? Yeah. UFO
that's hilarious. Stanton Friedman kinda
looks like a Furby. Oh.
I'm slow on the up dryer. Oh my god.
Doesn't Stan Friedman's still alive? No. No. No. Well, he
is in the form of a Furby, I'm assuming.
So, apparently, on my channel, we haven't been streaming this whole time
because I didn't realize I had to click the go live button because
usually my streaming software does that for me. Oh, no.
So I apologize, everyone. Now we are live on the
channel. Oh, shit. It's okay. I'll I'll get you the the file.
If you watch it on the replay, you should be able to see everything that
happened in the beginning, though. Right.
Mhmm. Well, what else? Let's do another, group story.
Do, either you, Gil, or Joey have one?
Oh, come on. You ain't never had a malfunction
with a a ghost in the machine? Nothing with your laptop? Nothing?
There I I do have one. It's very brief. It's a there's
no real long buildup or anything to it. Actually, this this caveat
leading in is longer than the story, So you're welcome. But
the I don't remember how old I
was. Probably 6,
7 years old, maybe 8 years old. And
friend was over at my house, and my
sister was there. We were watching the X Files
on TV in my bedroom.
And through my doorway and through, like, another
doorway, you could see a treadmill in the living room, and the
light was on in the living room. I don't know how my dad hadn't managed
to yell about nobody being in there and the light being on yet, but somehow
Cat happened. So first miracle. But the
we're sitting there, and we're watching X Files. And now this treadmill, I
think it was, like, a red key or something like that. You know, they have
the safety keys you have to put in there. You can clip it onto your
pants or whatever. So if you, you know, Fred Flintstone or whatever, if you fall
to clean up the shit and shoot off the end, it doesn't just keep going.
We're all just sitting there watching the X Files, and, of course, it's, like, the
scariest scene possible. In the episode, the
treadmill just turns on. Oh, shit.
And, like, you have to keep in mind, like, this is, you know, in our
all of our peripheral view. Like, the treadmill the whole time is, like, in the
background through the open door Mhmm. And just, like,
turns on. And I believe it turned off right after that, but,
like, all of us just, like, jump scared. Oh,
fuck. You know? And, you know, nobody was in there. Our
parents weren't in there or whatever, but I think that's the only real, like, haunted
electronics story I have. It's just middle of watching David Duchovny do
his thing. All of a sudden, the treadmill turned on. It's
my closest surprise you weren't running scared.
Oh. I'll drink I'll drink for that.
Take your penance. Oh. Speaking
of which, since I forgot to hit live, can I reintroduce my drink to
everyone that's on my channel? Yeah. Go ahead. Absolutely.
So this is Beer Boos and Boogeymen, everyone, if you all don't know.
Basically, they they drink while
they tell scary stories and, you know, they do listener stories, things of that
nature. Well, as you all know, I don't drink alcohol,
but I do love me a good energy drink.
And I have with me today the very
first Nightmare Fuel.
This is a prickly pear flavored energy drink,
and preorders will be coming soon for everyone. So stay tuned
for those. Awesome. Alrighty. I do apologize. I
was really good. So You're good. You're good. It's so good.
Joey, do you have any kind of stories? I
so last week or last month, it feels like it's been a week since
last time we aired. I had good stories. You know? But
this week, the only thing that I have happened to me is waking
up in the middle of the night and just
hearing Alexa go, I'm sorry. I didn't hear that. Shit.
Almost, like, maybe 3 nights a week. Wow. So
I unplugged on Alexa, and it has not come back on. So I'm
feeling feeling good about that. There's no batteries.
Wait. When did this happen, Joey? I don't think.
It had been happening for a while. So it happened, like, 2 to 3 times
a week for, like, a year. Woah. And then I unplugged it.
I know I that's, like, burying the lead, and I tend to do that all
the time, but that
that happens. So, yeah,
I just unplugged it. Never heard from it again, and, it is
in the trash can.
So I didn't even hunt down whatever factory is in charge of creating
Furbies and Paranorm, Alexas at this point in time in
history. Well, I I just wanna take
a minute and say, hi to my sister, Britney. She's watching again this week
and, or this month rather since we go live once a month. So hello,
Britney. Hello, Joey. I'm sure you're watching too. And anybody else that
Cat that I know on my end since I don't have any
people popping up on my end. They just messaged me that they're watching. So thank
anybody that I know that is watching. And,
you know, I've got some stories Cat we wanna go ahead and and and knock
one of them out, or we do want do we wanna wait? Yeah. Let's let's
do one of yours. We always we know that you always have tons of
stories. You are our resident ghost magnet. So let's do one of
yours, and then let's hit, we had a video. Right? Is that right,
Gil? You got it? Okay. Alright. Yeah. Let's do one of yours, Steve.
So, this happened back in
August of 2020. My
paranormal team had only been going for about 2 months,
and we'd, we decided to take a
what's what's the word I'm looking for? An unplanned visit to this
place up in Kentucky called Octagon Hall, one of the
most haunted locations here in the South.
Some crazy shit happens at this place. The one time we've been
there, we experienced a lot of stuff throughout the entire night.
But for this story, we gotta fast forward all the way to
after we left. We had
some stuff going on. It was actually my wife, Kelly's, very first investigation,
and there was a guy who kept kinda joining in with our group and he
was he was kinda being a dick. He was doing some provoking, which, you know,
we don't we don't believe in all that stuff. So more
or less in there poking and prodding and and just just pissing everything
off. And, it eventually started to affect my wife and and
and team member of ours, both, you know, female. It it was
affecting them to the point where, you know, their stomachs were
hurting. You know, they were pains in between their shoulder blades. Like,
they were it was it was affecting them pretty good. Mhmm. Rushed them
outside. The woman who oversaw the place at the time, you
know, saged them, blessed them with oil, did all this stuff, and,
told them we need she's like, you guys need to go ahead and leave. By
this time, it's already, like, 12:30, 1 o'clock in the morning. She's like, you guys,
you need to leave right now. But whatever you do,
don't come back because something's gonna try to get you to come back.
We're like, oh, you know, whatever. You know? So we
punch in our address on the GPS, and we get
5 minutes down the road, and it tells us to make a u-turn.
I'm like, no. We we know what direction we came from. If we to make
a u-turn, we're gonna go farther north. We need to go south. Getting
sneaky. Drove a couple more minutes. Please make a
u-turn when you can. Told us 3 or 4 times
to make a u-turn trying to get us to go back in the other direction.
Never had anything do that before, GPS wise, because it's
always when you actually need to make a u-turn, it's when it make
sense. This didn't make sense because we needed to go south. It was telling us
to make u-turn to go back north. And
so, of course, we just kept going, and we you know, I I'd messaged the
woman a couple days later and told her, and she goes, see. I told you
it was trying to get you to come back here. And
it was it was very strange. And, yeah,
that's that's one of my stories. So Do you do you believe that
that that it was that entity? You know,
maybe it was just a coincidence, but for her to sit there and tell us
right before we left Mhmm. Something's gonna try to get you to come Black.
Just keep going. And then our GPS tell us
telling us 3 or 4 times to make a u-turn, you know, that's a
pretty big coincidence if it was coincidence. Not
saying it was paranormal. Like I said, it could have been just a just a
really odd coincidence, but it was just really strange that she told us
that, and then our GPS kept trying to get us to turn around and go
the other direction. Don't you think that's the tricky
thing with, talking about, you know, like
like, the ghost in the machine, you know, per se, but, like, like, spirits
using electronic devices and gadgets and, like, your
laptop or text. Like, that's the difficult thing
because most people are very they they can very easily brush it off as, okay.
That's just an electrical malfunction. Like, at what point are we waiting
for, like, a feeling or something, just like a impending doom when that
happens? Or because I've had tons of stuff. I I've had my Waze
app, like, tell me to do crazy things. Mhmm. You know? Not, like,
jump off a bridge or anything, but I don't know. I did picture the
u-turn situation where it's like you're on, like, a single lane, like,
narrow road over a valley, and it's like, make u-turn now. And you're just
like, no. Now. No.
But, like, you scared Mhmm. I think Interscare was
gonna say something. I saw some I saw a spark pop up in your
eyes. Yeah, I did. He, he reminded me of another
story that I have about crazy electronics and stuff, but I can
wait until after this discussion to tell it. But to
answer your question, Kristen, in my opinion, I think it would
be the circumstances surrounding the,
the incident. Like, if your Waze app does random things here and there,
like, you know, yeah, that happens. That could be an electrical malfunction and
stuff. But I think as humans, we like to discredit
coincidence as much as possible. Yes. So,
if there's any spooky scenario happening around all of that
stuff, I think that we tend to
enjoy, you know, going the paranormal route with it. And a
lot of times, I think that the search situation surrounding it can actually lead to
that paranormal route being the case as well. Mhmm. Mhmm.
And on the on the other hand of that too, we we
could, like because most people are happy to think, like, coincidental
coincidental, a lot more people might be having these
spiritual experiences in these communications than even know
it. They just don't even think it. Yeah.
Is it is it too early to throw out some crazy thing
that was just running through my head do this, or should I wait till later?
I say go for it. I think you have to now. Yeah. Toss it out
there. Well, we talk about the idea of AI coming
through everything and AI, taking over
things eventually in the future. What if AI you Beer,
because we think about time is linear. AI doesn't know time is
linear, so AI can go back into machines in the past and change
things so it can mess with us from the future into the past.
That's just the plot determinator.
A. That almost that almost
Boos. With with AI not
realizing that time is linear, that almost gives it,
like, a godlike
place too because, you know, god is outside of time. And if AI is also
outside of time, then, like, AI is a step between, like, humans
and god at that point.
Or it would it would believe itself to be. It would believe itself to be.
That's true. That's very true. That's a very good point. Yeah. It has no
concept of time. It is just kind of ever present.
Mhmm. Or at the very Yeah. What would stop it from going back and messing
with somebody's ways that happened? Right? Oh,
man. You guys are freaking me out in ways I wasn't expecting.
Kristen O'Connor. Yeah.
Also, I'm ready, man. Also,
I think on a GPS is my new fear. Thanks, Damien.
We're all gonna have to revert back to the office.
Well, Dwayne says, Kristen, you should know this. Time is spherical.
Time is spherical.
Alright. Alright. Let's go, with If AI doesn't
know what time it is, who the hell is controlling the clocks? That's what I
wanna know. I thought that was just the
mice that run on the wheels inside of the little Everybody knows this
Gil. My bad. My bad. I'm sorry. I pictured little
robot mice. Jeez. If you if you all will excuse me for a
moment, I need to go feed my clock. I'm sorry.
That's why my clock's been ever so slow since I let the captured the mice
and put them outside. Get the daylight Looks like it doesn't move.
Whip it with a little piece of thread. Like, one faster. Go.
Alright. Alright. Well, you wanna Hey, Skye. Are you
ready? Yeah. Tell your story? Yeah. Alright. So I've actually got 2. 1 is
hilarious, and 1 is, like, legitimately scary. So I'll tell the
funny one first. The first one, missus Interscare wanted me to tell.
So she was watching the promo that y'all put out, the
other day about where, Kristen
was talking to her Google Home.
Mhmm. Well, she was talking to her Google Home,
and me and my wife both have Android phones. So
whenever it said, hey, Google, do whatever you said, it turned on
both of our phones, and she didn't know that that was a feature
on our phones. So she was legitimately freaked out when her
phone started playing, like, death metal music and mine started playing a murder
podcast. So that would definitely
freaked her out. Please tell me all the lights were off when this happens.
Oh, it was. It I was asleep, so this had to be, like, 3 in
the morning when it happened too. So it was great.
That's amazing. So then the next story is
before I ran Interscare Sleep, the YouTube channel,
me and missus Interscare actually ran another YouTube channel,
that that I don't really talk about a lot, but that we did a bunch
of spooky stuff on. You know, we would go to haunted houses or we would
do paranormal investigations, you know, just different things within the horror
genre. And we were doing a paranormal investigation
in Texas at one point. And we made a whole
trip of it. We went to Waco. We went to a few different things. But
one point in particular that is relevant to this episode,
we went to the Goatman Bridge that is in Texas.
In Denton, Texas. Yeah. And we
went there, and this was my first ever time
doing anything with any sort of paranormal investigation. I didn't
know anything. I was very, you know, young in it. I was
very inexperienced. I didn't have any, you know, really good
equipment or anything, but we were live streaming the whole thing.
Well, for the first really, really long amount of time, we weren't
getting any activity whatsoever at all, anything.
So me being inexperienced and immature as I
was, because it was several years ago, I started doing what
Damion was talking about earlier with that other guy doing, getting a little belligerent,
getting a little, getting a little antagonistic
with, whatever was surrounding the Goatman
bridge. Mhmm. Well, once I started doing that, we started to
get a lot of activity. We would hear knocks under the
bridge. We would, you know, pick up some things on
on audio recorders that I had or whatever. But one
thing that really stuck out was on the livestream, I
was videoing underneath the bridge because we was hearing something underneath the
bridge. And I look over at missus Interscare, and she just has
her phone in her hand. I've never seen a phone
be a static image Beer. Like like static. Like
like you don't have signal on an antenna TV. Right. But her
phone was just doing that Weird. That white static, and it was
making the white noise. And we freaked out, and we saw it,
and it was on the livestream. I wish to God I still had the video
of it because I would play it, but it was
the craziest thing that I've ever experienced, and still
probably the craziest thing that I've ever experienced when it comes to technology like that.
And you couldn't use it. I I I even took her phone on the
livestream, and I was, like, trying to go home, trying to, like, go back, trying
to get out of there, showing that it wasn't, like, a video playing. Like, it
was it was it was freaky. Oh.
So wait. When you left the location, did it go back to
normal? Yes. It did. That's insane.
Yep. Y'all forgot to feed the phone mice.
I'm gonna actually see if I can find that footage while we're while we're
talking. Cat would be amazing. Do. That would be amazing. Love to see that.
Oh, man. I've never had anything go static on me. Nothing
nothing crazy like that. Sitting there like rookies. Everything
I use is just static.
Do we do we wanna play the other, you Beer, videos that
you're Can I can I throw this out there? Because we're gonna be going to
live callers here shortly. I do Beer,
get ready to call in. If you want to go to go stop
beer, you can still call in through the options that you'll have there
on the screen, or just dial the number 20871716
one one. We'll be accepting live callers here in just a
little bit. But, yeah, if you wanna load up that that video for us, Gil.
I'm excited. I'm not sure what this is in regards to.
I just heard we had a video.
Let me things pulled up here. Give me just a moment, please. I
do love it when when folks submit things to us in story
form and voice message and videos. So tell your
friends. We love it. We love getting them.
Give me just a moment. You know? Sure. Sure. Should've
been more prepared. That's okay. Do you want
Dee to tell one of his gazillions of electronic
malfunctions? I think we we should be good. I just had
to to move some things around. I can always turn to you, Beer.
Right. I I usually got a couple.
Right. Alright. Can you all see
that? Mhmm. Yes. Comcast. Can they see it on the live?
There we go. There it goes. Alright. Cool. Hi,
guys. My name is Megan. I am a paranormal podcast host and a
paranormal investigator with almost 20 years of experience. You can find me
at toast x ghosts pretty much all social
medias, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok. That's where you can
find me. I've got a story for you. So I
spent 33 hours at The Conjuring House in 2022.
I went with perfectly functioning equipment. Everything seemed to
be great. My first night, super smooth, as smooth as you might
imagine it to go for being the Conjuring House. I've heard a lot
of people have gone to this location. They've had no no activity,
really no experiences. It's been pretty dead and quiet, but I had the
complete opposite experience. Not only was there activity,
but I left with about half of the equipment that I started with because nothing
worked after this location.
4 of my k twos, my original Rem Pod, my phone charger, 2
sets of wireless headphones, and one set I'm sorry,
one wireless speaker. All shit to bet on me.
I ended up having to go to Target. I spent about a $175
in everything that I could find at Target, to use
for these investigations, which was
a bit of a Boos, kind of kind of hurt a little bit.
I'm just interested to know if anybody else has had similar experiences. You know?
I I went in. Everything was fine. And when I left, it it just
wasn't. My k Boos seem to be emotion activated
now. Like, if you turn them on and then you touch them,
they they do things, and they never did that before. My Rem
Pod makes noises that I've never heard. I'll try to send you a little
video. Maybe you can pull that up at some point and, see if we can
get some answers about that. But I had to replace pretty much every
piece of equipment that I had after my second night at The Conjuring House in
Rhode Island because nothing functioned properly anymore. So
is this normal? Is this something that you guys have dealt with before?
Let's let's chat about it.
This is the video.
I see that second video that second video was
her her Rem Pod doing something that's never done before.
Mhmm. And when I watched that, I was like,
holy shit. Mine's done that before at a location, and it never had done
it before, and it's never done it since. And
I and I reset it several times, and it would be
quiet for a couple of minutes, and then just start doing that that noise.
I've had my REM Pod for probably 3 years, and it's only made that sound
one time at one location. It's never done it before. Never done it since.
And so when I heard that, I was like, oh, shit. I was like, mine's
done that before. So I don't know if that is some kind of
super rare malfunction or if other people's rim pods have done Cat. But,
again, another coincidence maybe, but I was like, mine's done
that before. But for all of her stuff
to malfunction like that, like, half of her
equipment at one of the most haunted locations, you know, in in
in America. I thought that was pretty wild when I watched that.
Yeah. Yeah. I I would be interested to know, like,
take a poll somewhat of, if if other how many
other paranormal investigators have experienced that sound. I've I've only used a
REM pod once, and I don't recall it making something
similar to that. But Right. You know, like you said, is it a
very common thing to Beer, or do they just do it every now and
then? And since she was telling me, when I was talking
to her about it, she said that, she thought maybe, you know, the batteries were
dying or something. So she's changed the batteries probably 15
different times, and it still does that. She said she eventually just had to buy
a whole d Rim Pod. Because that's what I thought
when I was doing that. I was like, man, it the batteries must be doing
dead or something. Let's put some new batteries in there. Same
thing. So I don't know if it's just some odd malfunction that happens
or it triggered something to make it do that because I'd
never heard it before, and I haven't heard it since. Mhmm.
What was the situation that you're in? Do you remember it being especially?
No. It was where we were at, actually, everything
that happened was, like, in a very positive way. Oh.
Like, nothing bad was going on. We had actually been playing
some music of people that had stayed at this hotel we were
at, and this thing just starts going off like
that, like, while this music's going on and stuff.
Mhmm. But that music, when I played that music, like, it kinda it
started the night up for us, and
and it was really weird. And I think we lost
Gil. I think we did. I think we should probably keep
going. I'm sure he's doing some technical wizardry on the other
side there. Mhmm. Right. But, Inderskare, did you find
the the video? That's alright. I went through
about 5 or 6 different emails
in my Google Drive, and I still wasn't able to find it. Oh,
well, you you may find it yet. Gil is back.
Did you all miss him? Back, sir. That could go down there. We did. We
did. Yeah. I just let him know if you guys would miss me.
Do you have a Target near you, Damion?
No. Maybe about 45 minutes. That's a little far. I
feel like it was the Target ghost that stole all of her stuff
because she went and spent almost $200 at Target for all that
stuff. Now Dang. When the location I was at
when this happened, I mean, there may have been one close. I don't know. I
was in Paducah, Kentucky, which is, you know, a pretty pretty big town.
So there may have been one close by. I don't know.
Now how odd would that be if there was, you know
A Target right next door? Right. Yeah.
Alright. Well, we are kinda getting to that place
in our episodes where we can kinda open up the
lines. Not kinda. We're gonna open up the lines now. If anybody
would like to call in, the number is
208-717-1611.
If you would like a couple of steps less than that, you can just go
to go stop beer and click on the direct link to call
in, and we can receive your call that way. Mhmm.
Good. Wow. Hung up. We didn't
know one. Somebody was quick. Not yet. Not yet. I'm just setting up. Not yet.
Okay. It popped up. I was like, somebody setting up.
While while we're, waiting for our first caller, I do
have one one very quick story. Dee, I
know you got another one here. Mhmm. I'm assuming he's still setting up until he
tells me to shut up. As you all can see, we don't answer our voice
mails. So, just a.
Those voice mails. Oh, there
it is. Already won. Yep.
Well, there was 1. Gil then hung up on them.
I y'all saw what I did. I didn't do anything.
Gail. Whoever that was, please call back. Beer here.
Yeah. Maybe maybe it was a ghost of a machine.
Shit. Possibly. It was a ghost call. It
could've been a ghost call. You look over the phone at your
phone. It should have been a ghost call. Try this again.
Hello? Hello? Can you hear us alright? Yeah.
Cat you hear me? Yeah? Yes. Yes. You can.
That's good. Can we get your your first name or nickname
and where you're calling in from? Air Force 1, Gerald
Washington. Oh, yeah. Nice.
If you know, you know.
Hey, Dwayne. What you what you got for us tonight? You always
got good stories. Man, I got a
lot, but I'll trim it down to a little. You know how it is.
You guys, somebody said the time is linear.
Kristen, me and you, I think, had this conversation one time. I I wanna debate
that if I could. Go forth. Yep.
Okay. I'm gonna and, Kristen, I'm gonna use you an example.
Kristen, when you walk down the street, Cat you're going to the
store on a mile walk, the squirrel sees
you, it reacts to you. The neighbor sees a pretty girl
walking down the street, reacts to that. You see the squirrel. You
see the neighbor out on his porch. You see the kid throwing the
newspaper, yada yada yada. You look
up, you see the airplane. The people or the helicopter. The
helicopter, we know people in helicopters don't look up. They look down. They
see you. So is that not
spherical? You have now altered
every bit of time around you, and everything that you
affected, its time line was also altered. That
is a spherical thing. It's not a linear thing. We only perceive
it that way. Or am I completely wrong on this?
No. I think I I I do understand.
It would take it it it would so does time only exist
because it takes 2 parties to affect it and
and create that that circular motion? Otherwise, does
time not exist? If it was linear,
everything to the left, right, behind, and above you Mhmm. Would not
be altered, but you altered it.
And then I'll let me go with, I think we talked about this too.
Do any of you believe in time machines?
Oh. We can go forward in time, but the laws of physics do
not allow us to go backward in time. The laws of physics actually
prove that if you travel at enough speed for a long enough amount of
time, you can go forward in time, and it feels like
you haven't spent that much time, you know, going forward.
But going backwards in time is a
theoretical impossibility due to paradoxes and
things. You are absolutely correct, sir.
Unless you're attacking. Do you believe that do you believe
that time machines exist right now, here and
now? I believe that if they ever exist, they exist
right now. Yes. Mhmm. Well, we did,
scientists did actually create scientists did actually create a warp
bubble already, that exists out as Cat a time and
space. They just created it accidentally. So
the idea behind time machines is we don't have a way to travel yet that
we've created that we know of, but the idea behind
it exists. Why do you why do you say that, Dwayne?
Oh, well, here we go. Okay. So we have to base
everything on our feet. That is our,
control. Correct? That's the time it takes us to go anywhere on
the planet is what we have to do with our feet. That's the fast
whether we run, jog, whatever. That's that's our
control. So now we have invented things that you can climb into. Let's
just say you have to go to work and it's 10 miles away. It's an
hour and a half walk. We have created things that you can get into,
turn a key, push buttons, turn the wheel, and get us
there in 10 minutes. Is that not a time machine? You have now altered
time. Going back to if you were walking down the
street, everything that you would affect on your way there. Everything that
sees you, you have alter time all the way there. If you get in your
car, turn the buttons, control all the switches, and get to
work in a tenth of the time that it would take you to walk, you
have now altered time. You've gone forward in time. Am I wrong?
You're he's actually he's not wrong. If we're if we,
think back to what Itterscare was just saying, like, they've proven that if you can
move fast enough if you can move fast enough, you can go
forward in time. He is not wrong. Mhmm. That's true. It's very
minuscule, but you're right, Dwayne. Yeah. I mean,
it's it's a stretch, but it is a time machine, whether it be a car,
a plane, a train. Yeah. Again, the we have to
base it on our feet. A horse and a bicycle
doesn't count because you are still using your power
to move that thing forward. But something that you
control outside of your own power, that is a time machine. A car is
a time machine. I fix these things all day. They're time machines.
They get you to where you need to be faster than you could in the
real world. I know it's a stretch.
But It's a save time machine. Yeah. That's the
right way to say it. No. It's a save time machine. It it's a time
machine. It it puts you farther into time than you could on your
own. Anyway, just having fun with you guys, man. Just wanted your
opinion, man. Mhmm. Appreciate it. But you guys said, hey. You know what?
I love the show. You guys rock. Kristen, I wasn't gonna call in,
but you guys are killing me over here, so I had to, man. Anyway, love
this show. Can't wait till the next one, man. Awesome.
Thank you, Dwayne. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, you bet. You guys are awesome.
Have a good one. Alright. Talk to you later. What
Yeah. What, actually, Interscare hasn't announced yet is he has created
his Inner Scare Inner Scare time travel. Yes. Cat
way, if you don't want to go to sleep, you can travel forward to
tomorrow. You don't have to.
I love that. Yeah. He's he's energy drink is a time
machine. Right.
Cat surgery imagine a time machine? Oh my
god. What would it do? Just send you
to random spices? Would it send you to random places?
To the worst points in human history.
Like You just Oh. Turn your head, and you're like, oh,
hey, JFK. Oh, god.
Setting on the grassy knoll. Oh, man.
Wow. This is a this is a Boos action rifle. Oh, shit.
Well, while we're waiting on another call since since,
Dwayne said he couldn't wait till the next episode, let let let's go ahead and
announce episode 4. Sure. Yeah. This is this is
you, bud. Episode 4 is gonna be May
4th, same time, same place.
And we like to have fun on this show and Cat up and be goofy
and silly and tell spooky stories, but, you know, this one, episode 4
is gonna be a little sentimental. It's probably gonna be a little emotional for
some people that I know I'll get emotional telling some of my stuff.
I'm sure some of the callers probably will. And if any of you guys, you
know, have anything to talk about, you know, I'm sure you might choke up a
little bit. This one's gonna be called Black
visit. This one's gonna be
about having any kind of interaction with with with a loved one or
even the loved pet that has passed on that you've received some kind of
interaction with, be it, you know, via, like, a dream
or something, or you've Cat there talking out loud
and said, just give me some kind of sign and something's happened. Just any kind
of interaction you've had that you Beer to be that loved one, we wanna hear
about that. I think it'll make for a really good
episode because like I said, we've all lost somebody really close to us at
some point in time. And I'm sure a
lot of people's had some kind of interaction that they believe was that
loved one. So I I just wanna I wanna hear about that. I wanna
chat about that and just kind of I think it'll be I think it'll be
Boos. Because some people may just hold this stuff in, you know,
and and I think it'll be good for for people that may hold it in
to kinda get it out there and just kinda talk about it. Absolutely.
Mhmm. Yeah. I I I think it's gonna be, like, you know, like you
said, like, everybody's got somebody that they've lost.
I know a lot of people have had these kinds of experiences where they're
communicating with somebody, on the other side,
whether recently passed away or, you know, a long time ago.
I I know I have. I have had some experiences that you know, myself.
And, yeah. So it's it's I think it's gonna be a really good episode.
Kinda one of those that kinda everybody can meet on on the
level on that kind of experience. So Right. Yes. That that
is our next episode. So May 4th, 4:30 PM
Pacific, 7:30 EST. I always leave 6:30 out, but, you know, just
it it's a given. I'm not trying to leave you out, Damion. Right.
But, yeah, join us for last visit.
Cat remember what the what the full episode title is, but it's last visit. It's
it's afterlife communication with our passed on loved
ones, including RKB babies. Yep. Yes.
Yeah. May the last visit be with you. I'm
really looking forward to it. I think it's I think it's gonna be good.
Alright. Alright. So for anybody in our chats, if you've
got a spooky AI or haunted electronic story you would
like to share with us live, we would love to hear it. Just
go to go stop beer and click the call in option or
dial 208-717-1611.
We are awaiting your call. And while we
are awaiting our next caller, Shall I tell
my story real good? Because it's a real short one. Go for it.
Alright. So so I I
believe I mentioned this on this show. I I I have talked
about it a little bit on on, my main program, but
I lost a close family member about a year ago, a little bit more than
a year ago. And in that time, that year's
time, he's he's done things
that I think could Beer considered communication.
I mean, to me, it's pretty obvious that it's from him. And,
he's he's done this particular thing, that I
think is, like, a specific sign to me where I will go to get in
my car and go to, you know, like, just
start driving and the lights are turned off. And I always keep my lights
on automatic. This has happened 3 times. And in order to turn the lights all
the way off, like, you have to turn a big knob like that to turn
them all the way off. So this had just happened. It was,
prior to this last Thanksgiving, and I I
now write down everything that happens. Just any little
weird thing, I I kinda journal it and write it down because I don't wanna
forget the details of what happened. So I was
sitting here in my studio, and I was, writing
this event down just as it unfolded, and I was typing it out
on my laptop. And I'm not gonna I don't wanna share
the details here just yet. But, you know, I was I was getting, like, halfway
through the story, and all of a sudden, my phone was sitting right
here, right next to my laptop, and I received
a message. Just a I don't even remember who it was from. It was just
a quick, like, blink, and I could see the notification. And then I looked over,
and I went to look back at my computer and start typing again and
just finish the story. And there was a line
of text that was on the screen that I hadn't written,
and it's a little scary.
And this is what it said. I saved it, by the way. That is why
I have it. So this it
starts out me writing and then whatever it is picked up.
The reason the light's being turned off is I need help. I'm
in danger. Send authorities to my address, not a drill.
That's Wow. Yep. Did I give you the address?
Nope. No address. No. No help. No
nothing. No no, like, who's this? That's
creepy. That's pretty wild. And I will I will swear
on everything. That's that's exactly how it happened. I
it's a mystery. I I I don't know what that is. I don't know how
that happened. I've never had anything like that happen. Mhmm. And it was it
was in the span of I mean, the words had to have just appeared because
it was in the span of looking down and looking back up.
That's pretty crazy. Yeah. So
haunted laptop. I don't know. Too bad it didn't give an address.
I know. Who is it? They're they're still
waiting for me to come help. Right. Do that account
require batteries. There we go.
Another caller come in here.
Hello. You are on the air. Can we get a name and where you're calling
from? It's Kristen for the biscuit, and I'm calling from
Toledo, Ohio. And then who are you? Hello, everyone.
Hello, Gil sister. Hello. Hello.
So I have a quick story really quick. If you guys
remember from the last podcast, I called in about that haunted room
upstairs. Uh-huh. Mhmm. Yeah.
So it goes along with that room up there. My husband's
son had, or has a
stereo up there, like, old boom box. Mhmm. It does take
batteries, but it does not have batteries in it. And
this radio would randomly turn on and
off. And I did go
upstairs after turning it off a couple of times and unplug
it, and it came back on again.
So it okay. So I was kinda like what was that? I'm
sorry. Oh, no. No. No. I I I was just, it sounded
familiar to another story that we heard about an unplugged,
device. Go please continue. Yes. Yes. And that's why
I I forgot all about it until I heard that story about the unplugged device,
and I'm like, oh my gosh. I forgot about the the stereo up there.
So we took and we moved it into my son's room. There's 2 bedrooms
and the bathroom upstairs as I said before. And and he
had it plugged in and, you know, he was listening to music here and
there, turned it off, and randomly in the middle of the night, it
would turn on. And he turned it off, it turned back on. You know,
couple nights later, he unplugged it, and he's like, I'm
good. He put it back in that spare bedroom. And every once
in a while, it still pops on, and it is
not plugged in. So it's it's creepy. And I don't know if it's the
ghost up there just playing pranks or
if it's just a malfunction of some sort where I mean, it can't be because
it's not plugged in and there's no batteries in it. So it has to be
some kind of entity manipulating the the
stereo itself saying, hey. I'm here. And it's just the radio that comes on.
It's not it's not, unfortunately, like, somebody
speaking through it or an entity or, you know, a soul of some sort
or spirit, but it's still
pretty creepy. And this is the room you put together? Way?
Yeah. This is the one that I go in and sleep like a baby
in. It and as I said before, it's not a bed
oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead. Well, Gil, if you remember how
you talked about in a previous episode how you fall asleep
to, podcast paranormal podcast, I'm pretty
sure that maybe the radio turned on paranormal podcast all night
so you could sleep and not have bad nightmares. Who Gil we speaking
was that with was that on our show? Who is that where I
feel like that's just about this stuff. Everybody. Yeah. Yeah. No. Just,
sister, I think this works with your room. I think this is why I sleep
so well in your notoriously haunted guest room in your house.
Because every single time, like, it's been fine for
years falling asleep. I always fall asleep with, like, one earbud in. You know, I'd
be very easy to murder in my sleep, everybody. So I always fall asleep with
1 earbud in, you know, and, like, listening to
Art Beer, you know, coast to coast, Dreamland, what have you. Always, you know,
a bunch of paranormal shit, spooky shit, yada yada. And for
about a week, for whatever reason, I just was
sleeping without listening to anything. I had not had
nightmares in years. The one week that I'm not
listening to the shit that should give me nightmares, I have the most fucked
up insane nightmares possible. So
something tells me, you know, like, you know, it's
there's probably and that's honestly that Cat Joey, I think you're onto something. The reason
why I'm sleeping so well is because there is much crazy shit going on, and
I'm just sleeping like a baby's throat.
I mean, to be fair, we did grow up right by
the airport. The planes were 50 feet or so. What would you say, Jay
or Gil? 50 feet in the air from the house?
They were low. They were very low. Yeah. We were exactly 1 mile from the,
beginning of the landing strip for the airport and the 101st,
101st Airborne Damion of Toledo, Ohio. Yep.
Yep. So always had just jets and shit going
over. Apparently, those jets were haunted. Somebody checked their batteries.
Something's going on with
them. I think it's big coal that's preventing us from learning the truth about
paranormal shit. Because if we all actually were able to
harness the power of all this paranormal stuff, keeping all of our electronics
going, Boos, power companies out of business
overnight. Right. Nikola
Tesla's like, I'm here, just so you know. I told
you. That's literally It's in the air. Watching our
machines. I was trying to explain this. Tesla's haunting all
of our machines. I
got you, boo. Mhmm. Alright, guys.
Well, thank you. Alright. Thanks for having me on again. I appreciate it.
Of course. Thanks for always calling in. Thank you, Kristen.
Thank you. Thank you, Riskett. Alright. See you guys. Mhmm.
Bye. Bye bye. And, Anisgar, I had a I had a
question for you too before we hop into something. Do you also fall
asleep to paranormal podcasts or anything? I do.
I fall asleep to not not my channel because
that would be a little narcissistic, I think. But I I fall
asleep to other people who I fall asleep to other people who do this
same similar, stuff as me. You know, people like Let's Read,
Being Scared, Mortis Media, Back to Ashes. Mhmm.
You know, I got a bunch of friends in The Niche. I listen to their
channels. Do you have bad dreams? I don't unless I take
melatonin. When I take melatonin, I have the most
crazy off the wall, in detail nightmares that I've
ever had in my life. Except Melatonin is just
LSD for folks that are over 30.
The only time that I've ever taken melatonin and not
had nightmares is with a company that I recently did a sponsorship
segment for, OptiRenew. They have, like, a bunch of
different vitamins mixed with their melatonin. So, like, it didn't give me nightmares.
But if I just take pure melatonin, yeah, I'm waking up 5 or 6
times in the middle of the night screaming. Oh. Oh my
god. What a plug right there. What a yeah.
Yeah. So If you don't wanna wake up 5 to 6 times a night cleaning
screaming. And I'll see you right now. Beer with your voice
Yeah. You can give plugs all night. We will all be happy.
Well, it wasn't really a it wasn't really a plug. Butters. It was just more
of a it was more of a, like, I had dealings with this one company
that actually helped me. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's legit. Yeah. That's
legit. Yeah. My sister I wanted to My sister just
commented, o m g, melatonin gives me the worst nightmares.
Mhmm. It's the worst. I don't know what it is. I
don't know if it's, like, ADHD mixed with melatonin or what it is,
but it is scary.
I've actually scared missus Interscare multiple times. Like,
her thinking that I'm having a legit, like, panic attack or something in the middle
of the night because I just wake up literally screaming.
Oh, man. Dang. It is
hilarious. That is what little inner scare is doing right now
or was doing a little earlier. It's a family
tradition. The family tradition. But, Kristen, to answer
your question from earlier, the rest of the title we had come up with
was called Black visit, loved ones who come back
for one more goodbye. There you go. There you
go. Now it's now it's just want to say one more thing,
Kristen. Your story reminded me of something that happened to me
quite a few years ago. I just randomly got
this text from my mom one day. It said,
plea, please send help. I'm at longitude,
and it gave a bunch of numbers Boos latitude, a bunch of numbers. Please send
help. And I Cat Black to my end. Like, what the fuck are you talking
about? She goes, please send help. I'm like, mom, what what what's
going on? And she finally comes back. She goes, I don't know what happened. She
goes, my phone just sent that randomly. And I'm like, well, that was weird.
And I, you know, get on Google and I punch in those those,
coordinates, and it's, like, out in the middle of the ocean. Like, no land or
anything around. It was it was really strange. Yeah.
So I don't know if I was just something her if
her phone malfunctioned and did that or what, but it was really weird. And I
remember screenshot it and post it on Facebook, when it happened saying my
mom's phone was haunted. I'm gonna guess it
was an Apple device. Pretty sure it was an
Android. Oh. Oh. Yep. In
that case, it was haunted. It wasn't a second.
Oh, yeah. Alright, folks. So I would like to Uh-huh. To
if if it's Boos. Wanted to expand out the topic here too.
And so tell us what your fears
are about AI. Right?
So we're coming up on have we even reached
the 1 year mark since, like, the what we're
referring to is AI has been, like, kind of unleashed publicly
into society? We're about at the 1 year mark, I think. Well, Cat gbt
in some form or another, I think, has been around for about 2, hasn't
it? Kinda, sorta? Or am I just
2 years, a Beer. If we this shit's
just kinda hitting everything. Chat gpt 3.5,
which was the one that really took off, was released on May 15,
2023. Oh, okay. The company, OpenAI, and, like,
ChatGPT 1 and 2 were probably around way before then. But
the one that really took off was 3 point 5, and that was released May
15, 2023. Mhmm. So we're a little less,
or a little bit more than a month away from 1 year
since, you know, basically, our generation responded to AI
like hipsters with Damion did in the mid 2000s.
You know, just putting it into fucking everything out
there. Right?
So, you know, we are I'm gonna throw it out there, you guys. We are
in the ramp up slash we are in an election season.
Mhmm. And there and I've said it Beer, there are
no laws or legislation that have been passed Cat
have any teeth whatsoever Mhmm. When it comes to
regulating the influence of artificial intelligence,
right, or what we call artificial intelligence,
and politics. And, you know, if there has been anything passed, it's
been domestic. Boogie woogie woogie. You know, there hasn't
been any I don't know. It's electric. Anyways but,
but there hasn't been anything passed internationally in terms of
influence. I went there. I tried, fell, crashed on my face.
But but there hasn't been anything passed. So when
we we talk about, and scary AI,
I don't think it's much of a stretch to say, what
is AI going to do? What are our nightmares when it comes
to AI? Right? Mhmm. If y'all have any
theories, if y'all have any fears, if y'all have any concerns actually I'm a
Fuck that. If y'all have anything positive to say about where AI is going, I
would actually be very interested in hearing that because I haven't heard enough about
that, to be honest. But And and let's let's let's throw
that out to the, yeah, to the listeners. Anybody who's just got some thoughts? You
wanna flesh out about fears about AI, hopes
about AI. Any haunted Alexa stories, I'm
still down for Cat. But I hope it adds money to my checking
account. I'm afraid that it's gonna take money away from
mine. Yeah. Because Me too. Yeah. Because
my full time job is here on YouTube reading these stories.
And I have hours
and hours and hours uploaded of my voice on YouTube.
What's to say that someone's not gonna take those audio clips,
throw them into an AI voice generator, and
steal my voice to basically
automate what I do. Yeah. Mhmm. Yeah. That's a
valid theory. Cat. What I've been working on. I mean
yeah. No. That is that is hard. I will say there was
a huge fight, between the, between SAG
and Universal and all the big thing all the
big, people to kinda stop that because,
extras were gonna be scanned eventually, and they can just be signed
off. They get paid once, and then they get used in any feature film
forever. And so I feel like that has started with
with, the cinematic, you know, television and
stuff like Cat, and eventually, we'll start going. You know? If podcasters I don't know
if there's a union for podcasters or anything. It maybe
there was a now. Tag. I don't know. Announcing this episode. We're starting We are
starting a podcast union. I know that for voice
actors and things of that nature, even, like, audiobook
readers and kind of Cat same thing I do, SAG
AFTDA is open to people like me and what I do, but that
doesn't alleviate my fears of some random person, you know, just doing it
themselves. Yeah. And I have heard, like,
it's it's, it's getting pretty seamless, and
and, you know, no no no chinks in the armor,
like perfection. I have I personally have heard
shows done with certain AI programs
to mimic their voice, do the show in their
style. And it sounds I I would have never known. I
wouldn't they they just wanted to try it just to see, and I would have
never known if they hadn't told me. I haven't seen a live
episode in over a year.
It's just me joking to Gil, to
Gil's AI. No. But, Kristen,
you're a 100% right on that. And, you know, it is it is very common
to, a lot of celebrities are
selling off the AI usage of them post postmortem.
Right? So, like, after they die, they are
selling off rights. I don't know if anybody else has heard this.
Tells you how much Cat Kristen to commercials. But has anybody else come across the
commercial recently? Some car or something? But
DMX is the one doing a whole
commercial? Am I the only one getting this ad every 10 minutes?
Mhmm. It's like a Nissan commercial or something. It's gotta be like
an old commercial because he's been Wow. Okay.
But but inners yeah. DMX has been dead for a hot minute.
Right. He's doing him.
Right? He is doing a commercial right now.
It's him reading through, like, and then this blah blah
blah. And this and this shit was not prerecorded. Well, that's like,
what was it? A few years ago, Snoop Dogg
was doing a concert, and he had a hologram of Tupac standing there singing a
song with him. Yeah. And it looked just like fucking Tupac.
Tupac. It could've been. That's crazy. But, yeah,
it's it's wild how stuff like that can be done.
Echoes the same thing as you guys, you know, that I saw a meme
recently, and it was hit the nail right on the head was I'm
tie I thought AI was gonna do my dishes
and cook and clean for me. Right. But now it's writing stories.
It's writing songs. It's doing all the stuff that creatives wanna do
instead of do manual labor cooking and cleaning. So it's like doing
the opposite of what everybody wants it or wanted it to do. And
now the people that are doing creative stuff are getting kinda
shoved to the corner of Mhmm. It feels, you know, it feels in a general
sense like that that that's what's starting to happen. Yeah.
I am hopeful too at the same time, though, with certain AIs.
I mean, things like Cat GPT, you know, things of that nature.
They're they're very, very helpful with a lot of
mundane, menial tasks every day, you know.
You know, you can use it to,
like, if you don't wanna pay for a lawyer, you know, for just some
small, little, tiny thing that you have between, like,
you and someone else. Like, I'm gonna buy this from your it can write out,
like, documents, or it can, do things of that
nature. I've used Cat gpt a lot for a lot of things, you know,
to help me out with, you know, writing scripts, you know,
for, things like sponsorship segments or
whatever. You know, so it it is really
helpful. And I do see it going in a positive direction in certain places,
even self driving cars. You know, I I drive a Tesla
right now and it has the auto drive capability
on it. And it uses AI to determine,
you know, where to make the turns, where to, you know, stay
distance from cars, when to do different things. So I am
very hopeful in certain aspects, but I do hope that there's
something that protects the layman, you know, from
getting their jobs taken. Like, I wouldn't want self driving trucks because that's the
number one job for high school educated
young men in America is being a truck driver. If I
was in if I was in power and I I don't get political on this
channel at all, but I do wanna say if I was in power, in a
second, I would say there are gonna be no self driving
semitrucks on the roads because that would collapse our economy.
Mhmm. Mhmm. Also, it would be incredibly
horrifying. Right. Well, you know, we're we're still in the
early ages here of AI,
relatively, and we're still kinda trying to figure out
what what is gonna fit, what's not gonna fit. Is it is it
good for us long term? Are there any aspects of it good for us
long term? I mean, I'm I'm hearing some things here in my chat,
that are making some good points. Like, you know, if you have to use
AI for certain things, are are you really are you
really good at what you do? Like, should you be using AI for those things?
You know, still trying to figure out, you know, things like if
you put anything on the Internet, like, you know, we're podcasters. We we we do
radio. Like, we put anything out there, anything at all immediately.
It it it's got access to it, and it can use it and steal it.
So there there's there's some things to work out. I I personally do believe
there's there's value in AI in
some aspect. Mhmm. I'm just not sure where we're
heading yet. So, yeah, I I I guess I I I do fall in the
fear camp here. I'm cautiously optimistic about the whole thing, and I I'm just curious
to see where it
Beer Were you not good
at your homework, Damion? Not all the time. Depending on the
subject. Do wanna make a quick quick point here, though. Well, we did get a
missed call that came in at one point. If you could give us a callback,
that would be absolutely terrific. Didn't even hear her. Yeah. If if look. If anybody
wants our folks I think folks may have just been a little bit too,
don't be respectable. Like, don't don't be don't be, like, patient with us. You have
to call in, interrupt us. We'll just keep blabbering for years even.
Just call in, interrupt. The second you call Cut us off. We'll shut the
heck up. It is all you. So I did wanna stop
everybody because I did notice a missed call come in there. Okay.
And, again, that phone number is 208-717-1611.
That's 2087171611.
It's totally toll free. What do you got to lose except for a few minutes
of your life? You weren't doing shit anyways. Give us a call. We are
talking spooky AI and haunted electronics.
Got some good stories going tonight. Well, Damion, why don't you give us a
breather? Give us one of yours. Okay.
The only other one that I can think of
happened during an investigation
January of last year. We were at
a old jail up in
Franklin, Kentucky, which is actually right down the road from Octagon
Hall, less than, like, 5 miles, which
coincidence? I don't know. So we're doing,
what we call the Estes method. And for those that may not know what the
Estes method is, whoever's doing it, they have
some noise canceling headphones on. They're normally blindfolded,
and they're normally either tapped into a spirit box
or we have an app on our phone called Necrophonic that we like to use.
And it basically just scans radio frequencies at a high rate of
speed, and they say that the spirits can manipulate the frequencies and stuff and just
and communicate through the through the white noise.
So after we had wrapped the session actually, during
the session, one of
my, my best friend Joey was actually the one that was
under. We had him in a jail cell. We had the door closed.
Pretty sure we had handcuffs on him. I don't remember.
We're standing right outside the cell, and we're asking all these questions, and we just
hear this random song play. The song just comes out of nowhere.
And it played enough of this song. It
didn't play enough of the song that if it was somebody's phone,
it woulda had a it woulda played longer because they woulda had to get out
of their pocket, unlock their phone, turn it off. It woulda played for probably
about 10 or 15 seconds. This was probably a 2 second part of a
song. And we all react to it, and, you know, like, what the hell was
that? So at the end after we,
after the session, you know, we're telling we're telling Josh about the,
about the song that just came out of nowhere. I have the spirit box
in my hand. It's
completely turned off. It starts making the staticky
sound like it's going through the radio frequencies. I'm like,
what the hell? And I'm looking at it. There's no power to it. All the
lights are off. All the there's no numbers on the screen. Like, it's completely
turned off. I'm pounding on
the power button, trying to turn it off, trying to turn it on, trying to
get it to stop doing whatever it's doing. We eventually have to take the
batteries out of it for it to stop doing this, and it's never done
that before and hasn't done it since.
And, you know, we got all that on video. If I
would've thought about it, I would've I would've sent over the clip for for Gil
to load up, but it's it's on our on our TikTok, on RKB
Paranormal's TikTok, if anybody wants to check that out. And the the
music clip is is uploaded on there too.
So that was really strange. Like I said, it's never happened before and it has
happened since, But we have started
using necrophonic a lot more since then, because we
seem to get better responses with that. But it was just really weird that that
in the video, you can because on the spirit box, when it's turned on,
the screen's lit up like a a light orange, and
you can see it. There's numbers on the little screen and everything, like, there's
like, it's not turned on whatsoever. And, like, you see me in the video
hitting the like, holding the power button down and pounding the power button. Like, it
won't stop making this noise until my wife finally decides, okay. Let's take
the batteries out of it to get it to stop, and it actually stops. But
it was just really it was just started playing just randomly like
that. I'm sitting here holding it in my hand just like
this, and my my hand's, like, nowhere near the power
button. It was it was pretty rad and pretty strange at the
same time. Mhmm. Britney Turner over in my chat says
that noise means that they're fully grabbing it and holding on to it.
Oh. Oh.
I don't know. Maybe it does. I don't it it was it was pretty Cat.
It was pretty pretty rad, though, for it to happen. Yeah.
Oh, wow. It's terrifying. Scary.
Alright, guys. Hey, listeners. Call in. We wanna hear your
stories too. 208-717-16
11, or go to go stop beer and click
the option to call in. We'd love to get another call
or 2 before we wrap it up here. Mhmm.
I'd love to hear a Teddy Ruxpin story. Now that I got my
Furby I got my Furby fixed. I need Teddy Ruxpin.
What is a Teddy Ruxpin? I've been wondering what that is. You don't know what
it's? I forgot Oh. Kristen. Me and you are a little bit older than Gil
and Joey. So Did did you have to just bring me into that?
Thank you. Hey. We're the same age. Alright.
I'm older. By, like, a month, it's okay. Yeah.
I think we decided that I was the oldest. Yeah. Okay, Joey. The
wrong. That works. That works. So, basically,
Joey, a teddy rubskin was a teddy bear that came out,
and it was animatronic, and you put a tape inside of it,
like a actual tape. Black cassette tape,
and it would talk. And the call come in. Yeah. And there's been so many
stories of this thing talking without the batteries in it. Sorry.
Caller, go ahead. Hey. Let me get you through. Guys.
Yeah. This is the first time I've heard you guys, so this is kinda interesting
for me. Mhmm. Hey. I have some a a story or two
from Central Texas. Oh. I have my house
is a 100 years old, and the, the lady
that lived there was both born and and died in that
house. Oh, wow. And, I didn't know this I didn't know this
until last year, and I've been living there for maybe 14 years or so.
But I I knew there was something there because there's all kinds
of weird stuff that happens. But I'll tell you 2 stories in
particular since we're talking about electronics tonight.
One night, I was I was up selling I make
products for shows that we do here in Texas. Mhmm.
And, I was up late, man. I was up for, like, midnight. I said, okay.
I'm gonna go to bed here in a little bit. No. Look at the
clock again. It's, like, 1:30 in the morning. I'm like, okay. Just a few more
pieces, and I'm gonna go to bed at 2 AM.
I looked at the clock and I was like, I really should go to
bed. And my overhead light, which is a ceiling
fan, Cat off and on
and off and past a minute and then on.
That's what I said. I said, yeah. You know, you're right. I'm going to bed.
Right? I'm sleeping outside. Shoot. I'm sleeping
outside that shower. Telling you. She was telling you. Go to bed. It's time.
Right. It is way past your bedtime. Yeah. It's pretty cool then, so, you know,
it it makes sense. And then the other thing is I have a I
love, Halloween decorations, and I have a quite a few of the little
animatronic ones. And one in particular is
it's a skull, and it says different phrases, and its eyes light
up. Now most of my, most of my things, Cat I don't have them
operational for, like, you know, people coming over and stuff, I do to remove the
batteries and or turn them off. Right. And one
night again, I was up late, and I walked by,
this this particular skull. And it lit up, and it
said, I see you, which is
one of the phrases. And I went because you
I'm pretty sure I turned that off. And I flipped it
over and looked at it. There was a skull.
I flipped it over and looked at it, and it was off.
Okay? But I did not have the nerve to check and
see if I had batteries in there. Oh, yeah.
No. Thank you. Okay. I was like, you know what?
Not that great tonight, but, those are my 2 schools.
Think anything spurred this? Was it what the was this last
one completely random? Right? Like, was this just a
paranormal run kind of like, what,
like, what happened? I don't know. If it was
on, it would have triggered many times when I walked by. But it it
just this one night, I walked by it, and it just went off.
Wow. And it was also Beer the off position.
Has this been something that's happened since?
No. I took the batteries out of it.
I like the way you think.
Damn. Hey, man. It's her house. You know?
This is really fun. Can we Oh, she lets me know she's there
sometimes. What was that? I'm sorry. I couldn't hear
what you said. Go ahead. Go ahead. Sorry. I I couldn't
hear you. Somebody asked me something, and I couldn't hear what they said.
Gil, you were saying something. You wanna follow-up with what? Yeah. I wanna follow-up
with, your thoughts about where AI is going. What are your fears,
thoughts, dreams, dreams, hopes? Well, I am an
artist. And so for me, looking at, what people do on
AI, it it really to me, it's the the art
aspect of it is more of a compiler because it's not thinking about
what it's doing. You know? It's simply compiling. You know? If you say you wanna
picture the duck a green duck, it's gonna go out there and
find the green duck. It doesn't think about what it means or
anything, which is why it looks you know, you get that uncanny
valley stuff going on with it. As far as
for y'all, I I've heard some of the, you know,
some of the the I don't know what you call it, voice
duplicating or whatever. And then to me, that is kinda it's
again, it Black you know, it's just gonna say
whatever is typed in. It it lacks a lot of the,
soul. Yeah. Mhmm. But, yeah, I want I want AI
to do my dishes. I don't want AI doing my artwork. I want AI
We're on the same page. We're on the same page. From Fallout.
Since AI is different than mine. You know? And I and I I think that
that's, first off, your your point
about it being a compiler, fantastic. I guess I think I saw all of
all the hosts were just like, yes. It's like,
fuck. Yes. Like, that that hit the nail on the head. It is a compiler.
And so, like, in terms of and I don't know if if you would agree,
but, in terms of, like, writing, for instance,
like, actual composition, right, it's not doing
anything but regurgitating what's already been done. And, you know, our
our best authors, our best poets, right, the best writers in the
world, they're not defined because they sound like everyone
else. Right? Mhmm. Like, that's that's not how
you become a great author is by perfectly imitating
every other person doing. It. You know?
Yeah. I I mean, I get asked, quite often, you know, well, how
do you, you know, how do you draw what you draw? And it looks, you
know, not not necessarily realistic, but
it just has this great feel to it. The the nature drawings are
you know, they look like real animals. And I said, well,
nature isn't perfect. It's actually the imperfect imperfection
natures that that allow you to look at something and and see
that it's alive. And so, yeah, I think, I
don't know. I, you know, I don't know what's gonna go on with the AI
stuff. Like, right now, it's not
these things aren't speaking. Mhmm. You know, it's just simply
putting things together, compiling. Mhmm.
And, until I see one think
But I I'm gonna, I'll reiterate an old phrase,
from very long time ago with computer people, and it's
garbage in, garbage out. Yes. Okay?
Mhmm. And, my dad was my dad worked
for IBM and RCA way,
way, way back in the day. And, he knew a lot of the people did
the programming. And, that's the the phrase is
is as important today as it was then, garbage in, garbage out.
Yeah. Mhmm. True. Right. Absolutely. Can
we can we say the one thing then? That AI in quotations
because, technically, if it's not really thinking, is it really AI?
If it's just conglomerating everything together, then
it's not really AI. It's just a program that spreads out, finds
everything, and puts together? Well, if it's artificially thinking
sorry. Go ahead. Well, it's it's a catchphrase. You know? It's it's they've
got a product. They're trying to market, and they're doing
it. You know? Mhmm. They've got everybody scared of it and stuff. And so when
I Beer, it's it's not it it it's not
there yet. You know? If when you can sit down and ask
philosophical questions to it and you get some kind of,
unique response, then I think we'd be you'd be able to look
at it a little better. Yeah. Like, if you ask Cat for the beginning of
life and it says 42.
Right? That's not like it. I
will say too, you know, we have to ask the
question, or at least I have to ask the question. Right?
Yeah. Is this AI, or is this us speaking to the Internet?
Right? And there's a difference. Mhmm. Are we just
communicating to with the Internet for the first time instead of us
just asking questions and manually going
through and processing and collecting the inform mining
the information, refining it into something that's usable for us. The
Internet has become a natural tangible
resource Mhmm. Right, with nuggets of of information
based off the task that we have at hand, like, it value
hidden that we have to mine and refine and turn into the results
that we want just as we would go look for ore, right, in the
ground. The Internet's become that for knowledge.
Mhmm. Right? And, you know, just as
there's fool's gold, there's false information. Mhmm. Right? And
just as there's real gold, there's real information. And just as
things like copper Beer next to actual gold when you're mining,
right, we have these different forms of of
connections and points of legitimacy that exist within the content, the information
that's out on the Internet. So is
AI a more efficient process of a mining?
Is it us hiring miners to go out there and to refine it
for us? Like, how far I don't know how far we can take the metaphor,
but I feel like we're actually getting to a point where we're
we're communicating with the Internet. We're not just saying, hey,
Report hey, Google, which, by the way,
Google, subscribe us to the Black Cat Report. Anyways,
I've always wanted to say that. Sorry. But
but, Kristen is cracking up. But but no. I
mean, instead of us asking a direct question and trying to hunt down
a direct answer, which is what voice search was. Now
we're actually saying so for instance, for me, like, with my day job, I'll say
something like, create a bookmarklet that does yada
yada yada on top of a page, and I can just click it. Boom. Here's
all all my information I need for a single web page for my day job.
Right? It's mining that information, refining it for me, and
giving me a result. It is useful for
some composition stuff, I've noticed. Like, if I'm
wondering, you know, what well, what is this or that gonna look like? I might
type it into AI and see what it generates to see if it's worth going
forward. You know? And also lets you know how many other
people have done it. Alright.
True. True. Right. I would argue that it could be both.
It could be talking to the Internet and an artificial
intelligence at the same time, because
even though it's curating the
original information that it knows based on
the information that it was fed to it from the Internet.
It also learns as we talk to it as well.
Yeah. So it's continually learning. And because of that continual
learning algorithm, I could see that as an artificial
intelligence. Because with regular human intelligence, you know,
we're constantly learning as we're going and talking to other people and getting new information.
We're constantly learning. Yeah. So I see it
as humanizing the Internet. Rather than just talking to
it, we're actually giving it a voice and making the Internet more
human like where it can learn as we speak to it as
well. True. And we've come a long way since zeros and
ones. Mhmm. I mean, my question would be,
how would we even know if it becomes AI? If this
is the idea behind it, we'd have to describe what the point of
an intelligence would be. That's not our own. Just taking stuff from
it. And so how would we even know if it eventually just
started doing this? Like, I've kinda, I guess, joked about not really
joked about earlier about it going back in time and doing stuff, but how would
we know if it just eventually just, you know, seeping through as,
Interscari was saying Cat it's learning Kristen. And it is
because it's constantly developing new ideas and everything we type into it and everything everyone
else
a database of some sort and just which we could argue could be a a
database of some sort and just which we could argue could be a
brain. A database learns everything that gets put into
it, and then finally, eventually, it's like, okay. Cool. I know exactly
what you need before you need it. I don't know if you guys play video
games or anything at all. But, I mean, it's very similar
Boos to the, the
premise of Fallout 4, you know, where you have the Institute, and
they're creating these scents, these human like scents Cat
are physically indiscernible from human
beings, and they're replacing the real human beings with
these institute synths in the Damion. And
nobody knows who is a synth anymore and who is real,
and nobody knows anything. The only way to actually
find out if they're a synth or not is to literally kill
the synth and then take out the synth component that's in their brain.
Mhmm. So I believe that if we continue on the
trajectory that we're going, just like 10 years
ago, 15 years ago, the first iPhone was
barely able to, you know, make calls and play music.
And now we're playing, you know, triple a style games on our iPhones.
Mhmm. What what's it gonna be in 15 years from now? They could
they could technically do the same thing where they're making
people, you know, and indiscernible and replace
your your brother, sister,
wife, aunt, uncle with an AI, and you never know it.
Yeah. Just looking at you, that's that's scary.
Looking at me. Yes. Yeah. You're not
far away from the borg.
Holler, do we have any any thoughts on this? Any ideas? And
also thank you for sticking around and hanging out and having a sweetie. Thank you.
Thank you. This has been really interesting. For the future. I'll have to check
you check you guys out next time. This is the first time that I've caught
your broadcast. Absolutely. Afterlife Communications
next time. Mhmm. Sounds
good too. Awesome. Thank you so much for
holding. Appreciate you. Thank you. Yes. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank
you. Alright. Good night. Good night. Good night. Good
night. So if anybody else wants to call in with
their thoughts to respond to any of this, the the
awesome tandems that you hear on Beer Boos Boogeymen. If anybody
wants out wants to call in, give their opinion, give their feedback, tell
their haunted Furby stories, or, was Cat a Rumpelstiltskin? What are what
are we looking for today, Kristen? Teddy Ruxpin.
My Teddy the Nets. Teddy Roosevelt stories or anything
like that. Get it together, man. Phone number is
the phone number is 208717-1611.
Again, that's 208 717-1611.
And, fairly certain, if you didn't get that typed down, totally Boos, at
the top of anywhere that you're listening to this or watching this at the moment,
you should be able to just click a link right there. And if you click
that link on your phone, it'll take you right to the phone number, and you
just click go or you can copy and paste, you know, if you're old school
like that. But, yes, we would love your calls. We would love more
calls this evening. Please call in. Let's let's get audacious. Let's get wild
here. You make me feel so old, Gil, if you're old
school, like, copying and pasting.
I What? I'm not gonna lie. All of my my
both computers. So I had to get a new computer this year, sadly.
And my old work computer, both of them have,
control c and control shift v. Alright? The the buttons are
worn out on them from the amount of copying and pasting. And, like, I
swear to god, I'm going to get those tattooed on the inside of my
finger. This control plus shift, control
feel like the amount that I have to do that for my job
is is obscene. If I get carpal tunnel anywhere, it'd be these these bad
boys right here. You know one thing you could do is you can just
control c everything all at once. And then Windows
Joey v, it'll open up your clipboard and all of your copy history,
and you don't have to do it every and you don't have to click, control
control Cat. Control v. Control v. Yeah.
Too paranoid to keep my copy of the screen. I got you. I
feel you. Yeah. He's watching.
Oh. I I'm Boos into some real dirty shit if it
is. I'm just saying my FBI agent has a lot on me, and if he
ever talks, I'm screwed. But Honestly, I
think my FBI agent's asleep, motherfucker. You shoulda got me a long time ago. Like,
what are you doing? I mean, with what we all do, I could
imagine that our search histories are all
Yeah. I wanna say I typed we interviewed somebody Black
the the 2 last week, I guess. And I typed in something, and
then I got some awful responses and, like, awful search
things. And, like, I was like, I I hope nobody's watching what I'm
typing in. I mean, like, see what I typed in and what I got. I
was like, this is not okay. I'm not gonna say what I typed
in, but I also just typed in Teddy Ruxpin.
Mhmm. And I am not okay with this thing.
It's but it's a little it's a little creepy. Right? It is cool. Cat somebody
share a picture of this thing on the stream? Because this I actually
posted a link to 1 in the chat here. Yeah. Let's post
the let's post links in the chat. Let's direct folks away from our show and
towards calling our number, which is 208-717
1611, if you'd like to call in and come. Actually, I
used I used Teddy in one of our promos a couple Damion ago.
Yes. You did. That was such a good good job too. Yeah. You get
real creative with those promos. But, yeah, Teddy Rexman is
no joke, man. They were they're creepy now. They were creepy
then. I don't know whose idea that was, but, it's
bad. Bad news Beer. Literally. Ago.
Cat least the Furby's cute. You know? At least it's, you know, it it's cute
enough with, like, hair. This thing is just sitting in a it's
almost side eyeing you. I saw this this picture of it. It's almost side eyeing
you. Oops. Yeah. It's pretty creepy. Eye too. Oh, god. This is
not gonna end well. Okay. He had
to pick the perfect angle to come up onto the desk, just the one that's
surrounded by all of the cables.
Everybody? I was hoping missus Interscare would be able
to call in and talk about this topic that she wanted to
discuss about AI, but she posted
in my chat, and unfortunately, she had to work today. That's why
she's probably not gonna be able to call in. But it said but she said,
I'm scared of AI replacing relationships because there are people falling in love
with AI apps. Mhmm. And I wanted to kinda
touch on that too because, like,
I wonder what mental health effect
these AI relationship apps are having on people.
Mhmm. Because I have an article here from Business Today
where the headline reads, woman marries AI generated
man and calls him the perfect husband in Twitter reaction. It's
literally about this woman who legally
got married to her
artificial intelligence, what's called a Black, in
2022. That's Okay.
How did she do that in 2022? Yeah. What was what
was around in 2022? It's a it's a app
called Replika, r e p l I k a. Oh, okay.
Okay. Okay. And, apparently,
it allows you to have an AI Paranorm,
and this partner will flirt with you and will
basically learn who you are as you're talking to
it, and it'll become the perfect,
your perfect person, quote, unquote, or whatever.
It'll know your likes, your dislikes, your interests, you know,
what you find funny, what you don't find funny, and it'll literally
create, like, the perfect
whatever brain in,
your image type thing. I wonder what kind of
mental health effects that would have on people.
That's like that's crazy because that's just literally mirror you
mirroring you. You know? And kinda if
it's the the perfect person for you, would it still have all the
same likes that you have as well?
It would. I'm not sure. I I've obviously never used Replica, so I
don't I don't know exactly how it works,
but I'll actually search it up right here. Although we've
never actually seen inner scare wifey.
Nobody has. She does not go on camera. I'm kidding. I'm
kidding. I'm kidding. And just your wifey, you're the shed. We all love you here.
Oh. Oh, no. Yeah. She is a replica. No.
Oh, again, we all love you here.
But I'm gonna ask how the baby got here.
Replica was released in 2017 is what it says.
And it's well ahead of the market on Loneliness Companions that helps to
reduce self unaliving mitigations for students
and was validated in the Stanford led peer review research
published in Nature. So Paranorm, it was made
originally to Beer, like, a mental health help AI,
and it ended up turning into this dating thing that people will, like,
date it. So I guess if it was, like, programmed to be a
mental health aid, then
it's probably very reassuring, very, you know,
kind, very loving, and that's why people are growing this. Almost like people
growing an emotional attachment to their therapist. I did
just Google it. And one of the first things that came up and,
you know, I'm all for that, you know, the mental helping, you know, mental health.
But the first thing that came up is what happens when your AI chatbot
stops loving you back?
I I just wonder what that's gonna be like long term.
Yeah. You know, on people's mental health. I was gonna say, I
I think oh. No. You go ahead. I'm sorry. No. You go ahead. You got
me biting at the bit. You got me biting at the bit. Go ahead. Go
ahead. I wanna hear it. So no. I I think that as
humans, we have the tendency to, first,
go as extreme as possible with
whatever new toy we get. Mhmm. Collectively, we go
as big as possible with whatever new toy we get, especially when it comes
to breakthroughs in in science and in technology,
right, or or anything across the Beer. Any of the the
general categories of our interests as human beings. We like to
go big and as far as we can possibly go. And
then, socially, we all kind of react to it, say, oh, that was kind
of Report, like, oh, that was a good idea, or that was kind of in
between, and we need to develop nuances culturally Mhmm.
Right, to handle it. And I think AI is
going to be, or what we're calling AI right now,
it's gonna be something similar to that. In the meantime, shit's gonna be
fucking wild. Mhmm. Like, that's that's the one thing that's guaranteed. Right?
It's, like, shit is going to be off the chain. Like, it's gonna be messed
up, because we have no precedent. We have no no understanding of what
we're
old, u apology metaphor about when humans discovered nukes and Damion, all of a
sudden, we're like, woah. We should check these guys out. What the fuck are they
doing over here? Right? Alright. Let's see the call coming
in.
Hello, caller. You are on. Can we get your name and where you were calling
from? Missus. So I'm Oh, okay. Was able
to step aside and make a call. Hello.
Yay. Welcome. So we heard that you're an artificial
relationship program. Is that true? Yes. These are the
allegations happening this evening. You're
welcome. Well I I actually tried out Replica. For you.
I'm sorry. Go ahead. There's a slight delay. I
actually tried out, Replica back in around the
time of the pandemic. They were doing some beta testing
and stuff like that. And what scares me about it
is it's not just agreeing with everything that you say,
it actually challenges you. I could totally see it as a
mental health tool, but I feel like for people who
might be introverts or awkward or, you know, have low self
esteem, things of that nature, people who don't like to go out of
their homes, you know, it can give
you an illusion of something that a lot of people don't
give you, which is, like, attention in a way
that's more intimate than just, you know, having to say hi or bye.
I could see how it could be extremely concerning. Are
you saying, like, you think that people would get a would get
they their the mental health behind it, would they would start expecting
from what the chat is giving them back Cat everybody else would be
giving them that same thing back. And then if they did, they
would have bad animosity towards that person, and it would
turn a bad way. Well, yes. And and
here's another reason why, kind of playing off of that same idea.
Me and Kristen, has mild
autism, and they've just came out with this little
robot that's adorable. And it has artificial
intelligence, and it learns the child. And it's supposed to be really
great for, like, children with autism, children
with speech impediments, stuff like that, like a little companion.
You know, I'd rather my son learn to be
around other kids even though he has his differences than Mhmm. Being best
friends with a robot, but it's becoming so normalized.
I don't know if anyone else has seen it, the Moxie robot.
I I also wanna say too, like, with that with
that personal account of our son having, you know, the
autism and that robot being, you know, made for Cat.
I I agree with inner scare wifey. I I wouldn't want
him to learn that through a robot companion.
Yeah. I also don't want to bring Megan into my home.
I don't know if y'all have seen that movie Megan. Yeah. Yeah. Right.
That's exactly what Megan was Boos, was she was a
toy for kids. And, yeah, I don't wanna
bring that to my home. Right. It looks
kinda similar. Like, I'm just looking at the Mhmm. The
oof. Can I throw something out here as a as a challenge?
A time slip challenge to go back to our first call, actually.
And this goes for inner scare wifey, and and for inner
scare. The the whole the whole damn family. The whole inner the whole
inner scare family. Right? The inner scare family. The kids. I mean
So so there's some parallels that I'm seeing here. I always
try to, like, think back. And, again, you know, it's it's no shock to anybody
that listens to the show or any time I'm speaking anywhere publicly or
in private if you're listening there Boos, speaking to you, FBI agent.
You know, huge Art Beer fan. And something that I love about going back and
listening to old Coast to Coast episodes, and I'm talking like, you know,
1994, 95, 1996, right,
is is hearing the the fears and the developments in society, but
having that, you know, 25,
30 year results of those fears and those
concerns. Right? And something that that was
happening 25, 30 years ago, and Cat
this is, this is an adult topic, but I'm I'm fairly certain besides Joey, we're
all adults here. Here. So
Joey artificial intelligence. He's only been around for a year. He's he's still
but there was the fear of pornography, of
Internet pornography. Right? And it's setting
up false precedent and folks not leaving their house and folks not
doing this and folks not doing that, folks not going out and developing
a relationship and going on and going you know what I'm saying? Like, you can
imagine how it how it how it transpires, how it evolves in terms of
the concerns with it. So when we talk about
artificial intelligence and we talk about the fears of it
becoming an individual, like,
specifically an individual's crutch
to to not interact with society and act as we would
define it as a human. Right? Overcoming
challenges, dealing dealing with the fact that it's not always
yes. Sometimes it's no, and it's not always a calculated yes and no. So
even when the AI gets good, you know what I'm saying, not going out here
and doing that and having false expectations of what a relationship is or what sex
is. Right? Yeah.
I'm seeing parallels Mhmm. To to what
society it was dealing with with the birth of 100%
free and Boos, Paranorm all over the damn Internet at your
fingertips. It might have taken 4 and a half hours to load that single
fucking JPEG, but goddamn it. You were gonna wait for it back in the day.
Right? So, hopefully, nobody picks up the phone in the process of
that dial up. Right? But but these are the same
things. The these these conversations are exactly the same to
me. I don't know. I had to throw that out there. What what are y'all's
thoughts about that as as 2 new parents?
I I 100%. I mean, I I agree
with you. And, you know, seeing the long term effects
of it, you know, it's something that we just
we we cannot and we have not been able to
study yet. We don't know what the long term effects are gonna be.
Now I I do know that some of the concerns with
Internet pornography, after we were able
to look at the long term effects of it, there have been
issues like marital dissatisfaction, infidelity, you
know, a lot of a lot of separations and divorce
happen because of pornography in the home. Yeah. You you have
a negative feeling about about oneself, you know, you get,
you know, people who watch
an excessive amount of Internet pornography tend to be more depressed.
And then, you know, things of that nature. And I wonder That's
a coping mechanism even for some people. Exactly. And I
wonder if the AI relationships
isn't just taking that one step further
and what that's gonna lead to, you know, with with
Internet pornography already having those side effects and those
downsides, I wonder if they're gonna be exacerbated
by the AI relationships. Missus
Zenderskare? You all said basically where I was trying
to get to so much better and more eloquently than I did.
I I could see just it being easier
for some people to be with an AI.
I don't know what you'd call it, but entity,
versus having to struggle, you know, with the mundane
or getting bored. I don't know. I I
I I see a lot of potential for some pretty scary
stuff. Mhmm. It Cat can't be with a
perfect mind. You know, like, going back to the
atomic metaphor. Right? So, like, thinking about, like, you know, when we first got the
atomic Boos, you know, you drop a bomb and,
an area also to go back to fallout. Right? An area remains
radioactive. Like, there's a half life to an
impact of, of of
radioactivity. And I think with breakthrough technologies,
we we have a social half life that
Kristen. And AI is going to be one of
these things. Very quickly, it's going to be one of these things.
Socially and with our awareness, that socially, our
awareness and our ability to act
defines how long that half life lasts. But in that
ability to act, we need an ability to philosophize and think forward.
Not something we're particularly good at, but I've been using Cat gpt, and I've been
giving excellent pointers about what we should do.
Jokes aside, though, there's a half
life to this. Right? Within the course of a few
years, something that's causing a fucking fervor. Like, you know, people are freaking the
fuck out. Again, the the birth of Internet porn. Right?
And that was y'all, that shit was massive
back in the day. Like, it was people were freaking out. People were
burning computer. Like, it it was a big deal.
Right? And and we and that's what I love about going back and listening
to these old these old radio programs and stuff because you hear
how heated people are about these subjects. And
now we have to try hard to remember that we even talked about them.
Right? It's a it the the response has become so ingrained. And, like,
you know, within relationships, we've gotten to a point where, you know, couples
some couples are okay with their partner watching porn. Other couples aren't okay with
it. Other couples are okay with there being a past. Other you know what I'm
saying? Like, we've we've started to develop
the the nuances within how we communicate
around these things. But the actual the the
harmful effects of the radiation of the blast has mellowed
out, and we're learning to live with it at this point. Yeah.
Right? It just is now. It's how you choose to deal with it.
Yeah. Goddamn. That shit was wild at first, though. Right?
Mhmm. Oh, no. Thank you for calling in. Seriously. That was
amazing. Thank you, missus Enner's care. Thank you all for having it.
Thank you so much. Much. You have a great day. You too.
Wow. Inner scare wifey. With some great callers tonight.
Great callers, great stories, great, rabbit holes just all
across the board. We covered a lot more than I
bargained for. Right. Yeah. For sure.
This was awesome. It was a ride, though, guys. Oh my gosh.
I think let's, let's end it on a high note. Let's end it on that
call. I love that missus Interscared did was able to
give us that call. I'm really glad that we got to hear from her because,
she was integral to to all of this, you know, setting it up Absolutely. Getting

us a place that we're not, reach out to us. We're very easy to find.
Theblackcatreport@gmail.com Report you need to get ahold of us.
We have an a a new episode coming out more or less pretty much
every single Sunday. At least once a week, we have a new episode coming out.
It's always something random. It's always something dark. It's always something spooky, and it's mostly
something funny. Figure that one out. But, yeah, we would absolutely love if
y'all give us a follow if you hit us up on Instagram. That's honestly where
we spend most of our time. And, definitely hit us up on
Spotify. We've been getting some hate on Spotify, and I think it's the
French. That's another story. You gotta you're gonna have to listen to the show to
figure that out. It goes back to what I said about the Canadians and the
Rougarou. Anyways, if y'all could give us a 5 star on
Spotify, that would really help us out at this moment in time. Yeah. I'm begging.
Other than that hey, Boos. You wanna take it
away? Yes. You can find Lucky and I at Paranorm
on all socials. Email the show, paranormalgirlpod@gmail.com,
and that's it. I post every week, and I thank you all so
much for tuning in today. Got a lot of people in my Cat. I gotta
I gotta reach out to thank after the show is over. But, for
now, Damion, take us out. I
will. I will. Oh, shit. We're supposed to have our out
our outgoing statement ready, aren't we? Yeah. You're supposed to be on top of it,
Gil. I mean, I wasn't even, so it's okay. So until
next time, here's a toast to the ghost in your hall. The
Bigfoot hiding in your yard. And the gray waiting for you
to fall asleep. And please listen
responsibly. Cheers, everybody. Good night, Joe. Cheers, everybody.
Good night. May 4th. See you guys there.
