Intro: There is nothing wrong with
your podcast streaming service.

00:00:05.010 --> 00:00:06.390
We now control your device.

00:00:07.050 --> 00:00:08.310
This is not a test.

00:00:08.430 --> 00:00:10.500
This is podcast of the paranormal.

00:00:10.860 --> 00:00:13.560
Close your curtains and
stay away from your windows.

00:00:13.890 --> 00:00:14.970
Lock your doors.

00:00:15.060 --> 00:00:16.260
Turn off your lights.

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:18.360
Get your snacks and drinks ready.

00:00:18.630 --> 00:00:20.490
Get to your basement or attic.

00:00:20.970 --> 00:00:23.130
The podcast is about to begin.

00:00:28.454 --> 00:00:30.559
Gab: Today we're recording
something a little different.

00:00:31.059 --> 00:00:35.109
We're not sure if this will ever
make it to an official episode,

00:00:35.619 --> 00:00:39.829
but we said that we wanted to
sit down, have a conversation.

00:00:40.329 --> 00:00:43.479
What did we see for the
future of the podcast?

00:00:43.979 --> 00:00:50.225
And to put some thoughts down  about
our feelings  on the paranormal.

00:00:50.725 --> 00:00:53.094
Jody: Uh, so this is a,
this is a mixed bag huh?

00:00:54.344 --> 00:00:56.614
Gab: More of a candid conversation.

00:00:57.110 --> 00:00:59.210
Jody: I'd like to start
with, the podcast end of it.

00:00:59.240 --> 00:00:59.750
Is that cool?

00:00:59.870 --> 00:01:00.230
Gab: Yeah.

00:01:00.730 --> 00:01:02.478
Jody: So what's it like running a podcast?

00:01:03.150 --> 00:01:03.870
Gab: Difficult.

00:01:04.371 --> 00:01:07.340
A challenge while working a full-time job.

00:01:07.714 --> 00:01:08.219
Jody: Yeah.

00:01:08.299 --> 00:01:10.337
Gab: More for you, I think than me.

00:01:10.587 --> 00:01:10.807
Jody: Why?

00:01:10.807 --> 00:01:11.167
For me,

00:01:11.507 --> 00:01:12.674
Gab: because you're the
one who has to edit.

00:01:13.187 --> 00:01:14.947
Jody: You come up with
a lot of the content.

00:01:15.172 --> 00:01:15.742
Gab: Yeah.

00:01:15.742 --> 00:01:18.833
But I mean, I feel like takes
me less time to do that  than it

00:01:18.833 --> 00:01:20.453
does for you to edit an episode.

00:01:20.953 --> 00:01:21.433
Jody: Yeah.

00:01:21.957 --> 00:01:23.673
I mean, I like our audio to sound good.

00:01:24.173 --> 00:01:24.443
Gab: Right.

00:01:24.943 --> 00:01:27.048
Jody: And I'm very into
the manual editing stuff.

00:01:27.548 --> 00:01:29.228
And I avoid AI where I can.

00:01:29.728 --> 00:01:30.208
Gab: Yeah.

00:01:30.711 --> 00:01:32.638
Jody: So we have editing plugins,

00:01:33.138 --> 00:01:33.858
Gab: what do you mean?

00:01:34.358 --> 00:01:36.235
Jody: Like the, audio editing software.

00:01:36.545 --> 00:01:36.965
Gab: Okay.

00:01:37.115 --> 00:01:39.418
Jody: If it's plugin based, that's
like, you know, like software

00:01:39.418 --> 00:01:40.865
noise reduction, stuff like that.

00:01:41.365 --> 00:01:44.728
You know  adjusting the EQ,
making it sound right, making it

00:01:44.728 --> 00:01:45.868
sound the way I want it to sound.

00:01:46.091 --> 00:01:46.861
I'm all for that.

00:01:47.327 --> 00:01:48.877
I really don't like the AI stuff.

00:01:49.217 --> 00:01:49.617
Gab: Right.

00:01:49.677 --> 00:01:50.477
Jody: I know it's inevitable.

00:01:50.717 --> 00:01:51.987
I'm going to use it eventually.

00:01:52.017 --> 00:01:52.837
I just, I know it.

00:01:53.244 --> 00:01:53.474
Gab: Yeah.

00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.177
Jody: But lot of the auto editing
features and the filler word

00:01:56.177 --> 00:01:57.737
removal stuff, it just doesn't work.

00:01:57.737 --> 00:01:57.917
Right.

00:01:57.917 --> 00:02:01.190
It doesn't piece the, the way a
person speaks together properly.

00:02:01.190 --> 00:02:02.450
Like the cadence is all off.

00:02:02.450 --> 00:02:03.450
It kind of drives me nuts.

00:02:03.500 --> 00:02:03.980
Gab: Yeah.

00:02:04.270 --> 00:02:08.847
Jody: So I very much do, you know,
other than noise reduction, eq,  which

00:02:08.847 --> 00:02:12.207
is highly, you know, automatic at
this point, I kind of manually edit.

00:02:12.707 --> 00:02:14.087
So like all that microphone bleed.

00:02:14.454 --> 00:02:17.454
'  cause we're sitting literally across
you know, the table from each other.

00:02:17.954 --> 00:02:22.414
Your microphone picks up me speaking and
my microphone sort of does the same thing.

00:02:22.414 --> 00:02:24.289
So there's a lot of manual
editing I have to do there.

00:02:24.339 --> 00:02:24.349
Right.

00:02:24.375 --> 00:02:24.829
Gab: Right.

00:02:25.197 --> 00:02:28.317
What are some other thoughts
that you have about the podcast?

00:02:28.817 --> 00:02:31.797
Jody: It's just a lot of work
trying to get people to listen.

00:02:32.094 --> 00:02:35.094
You know, we're finding out that we're
doing shows now to try to get some, uh,

00:02:35.594 --> 00:02:36.824
you know, to get some my balls on it.

00:02:37.169 --> 00:02:38.519
Gab: Does that even help though?

00:02:38.654 --> 00:02:39.487
Jody: I don't think so

00:02:40.366 --> 00:02:43.247
I feel like it doesn't,  I feel like
if you wanna get the show out there,

00:02:43.337 --> 00:02:45.437
you're constantly fighting the algorithm.

00:02:45.770 --> 00:02:46.130
Gab: Right.

00:02:46.635 --> 00:02:48.790
Jody: You know, if you're not a
celebrity or you're not, one of

00:02:48.790 --> 00:02:50.920
the top 100 podcasters, whatever.

00:02:51.887 --> 00:02:53.394
You're not gonna get a lot of, views.

00:02:53.394 --> 00:02:54.519
Listens, whatever you wanna call it.

00:02:55.085 --> 00:02:56.015
And It's frustrating

00:02:56.531 --> 00:02:56.690
Gab: It is

00:02:56.699 --> 00:02:57.995
Jody: Because it, it's a lot of work.

00:02:58.245 --> 00:03:02.305
A one hour episode takes me roughly
five or six hours to edit  Yeah.

00:03:02.395 --> 00:03:03.715
To make it sound the way I want it to.

00:03:04.215 --> 00:03:04.455
So,

00:03:04.455 --> 00:03:06.045
and we're not doing this to make money.

00:03:06.359 --> 00:03:09.529
You know, we're, we're doing this
because  the subject material

00:03:09.529 --> 00:03:10.719
is something that we enjoy, you

00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:11.139
know what I mean?

00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:11.499
Gab: Right

00:03:11.509 --> 00:03:12.452
Jody: It's a hobby for us.

00:03:12.559 --> 00:03:15.639
So we thought,  Hey, let's
put a podcast together.

00:03:15.892 --> 00:03:16.522
Gab: It's a hobby.

00:03:16.522 --> 00:03:18.472
It helps us expand our knowledge.

00:03:18.772 --> 00:03:22.912
Jody: It really does, because what you
find yourself doing is  you more than,

00:03:22.972 --> 00:03:26.429
than I you're, you're doing a lot more
research into this subject matter.

00:03:26.700 --> 00:03:27.024
Gab: Right.

00:03:27.300 --> 00:03:29.014
Jody: Because you have
to, put content out.

00:03:29.014 --> 00:03:29.284
Right.

00:03:29.374 --> 00:03:33.064
We're a biweekly podcast, so we're doing,
we're doing a show every two weeks.

00:03:33.494 --> 00:03:33.634
Gab: u

00:03:33.899 --> 00:03:34.229
Jody: You know,

00:03:34.409 --> 00:03:36.354
Gab: Is it something you want to continue?

00:03:36.541 --> 00:03:37.050
Jody: Yes.

00:03:37.550 --> 00:03:37.937
Gab: Okay.

00:03:38.317 --> 00:03:40.982
Jody: I mean, it's something I
enjoy the, I do enjoy the editing.

00:03:40.982 --> 00:03:41.702
I don't know why.

00:03:41.762 --> 00:03:43.082
It's just how my brain works.

00:03:43.082 --> 00:03:43.202
Gab: Yeah.

00:03:43.702 --> 00:03:45.662
Jody: it reminds me of
my professional job.

00:03:46.167 --> 00:03:46.457
Gab: Okay.

00:03:46.957 --> 00:03:48.307
Jody: You know, so it works.

00:03:48.307 --> 00:03:49.537
I'm in that mindset already.

00:03:49.537 --> 00:03:52.077
It's,  the two are very synonymous.

00:03:52.577 --> 00:03:52.967
Gab: Yeah.

00:03:53.467 --> 00:03:54.997
Jody: So it's something familiar to me.

00:03:54.997 --> 00:03:56.017
It's something I know I could do

00:03:56.017 --> 00:03:56.107
Gab: Right.

00:03:57.131 --> 00:03:57.707
Jody: From an editing

00:03:58.247 --> 00:03:58.427
Gab: Yeah.

00:03:58.427 --> 00:03:58.648
Anyway.

00:03:58.997 --> 00:03:59.297
Jody: Yeah.

00:03:59.797 --> 00:04:01.162
I mean, there's still a lot to learn.

00:04:01.772 --> 00:04:03.852
Audio licensing is a pain in the ass.

00:04:04.502 --> 00:04:04.902
Gab: Right.

00:04:05.309 --> 00:04:08.532
Jody: You know, you have to make
sure that you  are paying for, either

00:04:08.532 --> 00:04:12.145
an editing service  or a. You know,
like a licensing plan for the audio,

00:04:12.145 --> 00:04:13.405
which we don't really use a lot of.

00:04:13.405 --> 00:04:17.565
We have like our intro and our
outro and some transitions,  but

00:04:17.565 --> 00:04:20.510
sometimes we like to do like some
fun stuff like our holiday episode.

00:04:20.870 --> 00:04:22.070
I had a lot of fun editing that.

00:04:22.355 --> 00:04:22.745
Gab: Yeah.

00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:24.107
Jody: all the background music in.

00:04:24.554 --> 00:04:25.247
Gab: That was fun.

00:04:25.537 --> 00:04:27.544
Jody: Personally, I don't
think it's important  to have

00:04:27.544 --> 00:04:28.654
the background music going.

00:04:28.654 --> 00:04:29.404
It's just something.

00:04:29.495 --> 00:04:32.019
Fun and festive specifically
for the holiday episode.

00:04:32.346 --> 00:04:35.592
Like, you know, I'll throw in like
a, a sound effect, like a record

00:04:35.592 --> 00:04:36.642
scratch or something like that.

00:04:36.942 --> 00:04:37.122
Gab: Right.

00:04:37.122 --> 00:04:39.762
Jody: I'm sitting there listening to
the episode when I'm editing it,  and

00:04:39.762 --> 00:04:42.822
when I think it's get kind of dry and,
you know, boring, I'll do something

00:04:42.822 --> 00:04:44.082
like I'll add a sound effect in

00:04:44.382 --> 00:04:44.772
Gab: Yeah.

00:04:45.272 --> 00:04:45.562
Yeah.

00:04:46.062 --> 00:04:46.182
Jody: You

00:04:46.227 --> 00:04:46.347
know?

00:04:46.847 --> 00:04:46.967
Yeah.

00:04:46.967 --> 00:04:47.267
I don't know.

00:04:47.267 --> 00:04:48.823
It's just, it's just a lot of work.

00:04:49.034 --> 00:04:49.441
Gab: It is.

00:04:49.807 --> 00:04:52.310
What else  are your
thoughts on the podcast?

00:04:52.810 --> 00:04:55.179
Jody: I would just like
some feedback, honestly.

00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:56.160
Gab: Yeah.

00:04:56.370 --> 00:04:58.440
Jody: You know, we, we
have some, but not a lot.

00:04:58.940 --> 00:04:59.360
Gab: Yeah.

00:04:59.860 --> 00:05:02.800
Jody: But social media is just
a, it's like a black hole.

00:05:02.865 --> 00:05:03.839
Gab: It really is.

00:05:04.122 --> 00:05:05.067
Jody: I mean, you can post

00:05:05.577 --> 00:05:06.927
and get a thousand views.

00:05:07.220 --> 00:05:11.187
But you know, if you're not getting the
follows and the likes and the engagement.

00:05:11.467 --> 00:05:13.957
Gab: Well, even if you are getting
the follows and the likes, it's about

00:05:13.957 --> 00:05:15.738
people listening to the podcast.

00:05:16.248 --> 00:05:21.378
maybe we need to change the content
in a way that relates to the podcast.

00:05:21.668 --> 00:05:25.808
Like we have a podcast coming out
about this subject, So then we start

00:05:25.808 --> 00:05:29.428
to put out social media
posts that relate to that.

00:05:29.728 --> 00:05:32.998
And I think it's also a struggle now
for social media because we aren't

00:05:32.998 --> 00:05:34.768
traveling as much as we used to.

00:05:35.608 --> 00:05:36.808
So I don't have

00:05:37.112 --> 00:05:37.562
like

00:05:38.072 --> 00:05:39.032
the photos and the

00:05:39.032 --> 00:05:39.962
videos Yeah.

00:05:40.202 --> 00:05:42.212
To use like I did.

00:05:42.212 --> 00:05:44.882
Jody: Let's not forget when we first
started kicking around the idea

00:05:44.882 --> 00:05:48.205
about the podcast, our initial idea
was we do  a couple trips a month.

00:05:48.419 --> 00:05:48.887
Gab: Mm-hmm.

00:05:49.227 --> 00:05:50.147
Now we're we're limited
for a short period.

00:05:50.147 --> 00:05:52.137
for a short period of time.

00:05:52.193 --> 00:05:52.483
Jody: Yeah.

00:05:52.765 --> 00:05:52.940
Gab: Well,

00:05:52.940 --> 00:05:55.790
we save for a wedding, not ours.

00:05:55.930 --> 00:05:57.280
Jody: No, ours is a done deal.

00:05:57.775 --> 00:05:58.065
Yeah.

00:05:58.565 --> 00:05:59.335
Gab: Our dog is gonna

00:05:59.345 --> 00:05:59.675
Jody: get married.

00:05:59.675 --> 00:06:00.215
Sounds terrible.

00:06:00.215 --> 00:06:00.605
Doesn't it?

00:06:00.990 --> 00:06:02.765
Our, Our, marriage is a done deal.

00:06:03.785 --> 00:06:05.721
Gab: No, it's not terrible.

00:06:06.172 --> 00:06:12.681
Um, I looked over here before
at the shelving to my left and

00:06:13.181 --> 00:06:14.646
Jody: Oh, my, wall of chaos.

00:06:14.716 --> 00:06:15.176
Gab: Yeah.

00:06:15.357 --> 00:06:19.601
And I thought I saw something that said
high strangeness  then I looked again and

00:06:19.601 --> 00:06:21.461
I only saw like your Silmarillion book.

00:06:21.461 --> 00:06:24.334
And I was like, is my brain
like making things up?

00:06:24.334 --> 00:06:25.444
But now I see where I saw it,

00:06:25.444 --> 00:06:26.394
Jody: the high strangeness comic yeah.

00:06:26.684 --> 00:06:27.444
Gab: And I feel so much

00:06:27.484 --> 00:06:28.024
better.

00:06:28.664 --> 00:06:30.094
I just had to get that out.

00:06:30.584 --> 00:06:30.764
Jody: Yeah.

00:06:30.764 --> 00:06:32.924
You have to start adding some
stuff to the shelving here.

00:06:33.134 --> 00:06:33.824
Gab: I have.

00:06:34.117 --> 00:06:35.947
added my colonial kitchens

00:06:36.204 --> 00:06:37.914
Jody: for you guys
listening, it is total chaos.

00:06:37.914 --> 00:06:41.654
I have  trinkets and things just
stacked on top of each other.

00:06:41.782 --> 00:06:42.292
Gab: Yeah.

00:06:42.382 --> 00:06:42.720
It's chaos

00:06:42.757 --> 00:06:43.927
Jody: there's some books, and

00:06:43.927 --> 00:06:46.357
Gab: it was organized until we started

00:06:46.625 --> 00:06:50.257
like really adding things and then
it just kind of spun outta control

00:06:50.317 --> 00:06:55.267
and it's difficult to find time to do
things while working, while doing the

00:06:55.267 --> 00:06:56.047
podcast,

00:06:56.737 --> 00:06:58.087
while living in this world.

00:06:58.522 --> 00:07:00.779
Jody: And it's kind of, it's kind
of like a catch-all at this point.

00:07:01.131 --> 00:07:01.491
Gab: Yeah.

00:07:01.521 --> 00:07:03.916
Jody: We have our little breakdown
set up here for the podcast.

00:07:04.111 --> 00:07:04.531
Gab: Yeah.

00:07:05.031 --> 00:07:07.611
Jody: So everything gets
thrown to the sides of the room

00:07:07.776 --> 00:07:07.986
Gab: Yeah.

00:07:07.986 --> 00:07:08.242
against

00:07:08.301 --> 00:07:09.344
Jody: the walls and the shelving.

00:07:09.791 --> 00:07:12.676
Gab: And we had plans to redo
the house that got put on hold,

00:07:13.006 --> 00:07:15.136
Jody: so this is turning into
like our airing of grievances

00:07:18.451 --> 00:07:19.111
Gab: in a way.

00:07:19.201 --> 00:07:19.306
We're

00:07:19.336 --> 00:07:21.076
Jody: coming up on a year almost right?

00:07:21.076 --> 00:07:21.586
In April.

00:07:21.699 --> 00:07:21.969
Yeah.

00:07:21.969 --> 00:07:22.029
Yeah.

00:07:22.529 --> 00:07:24.359
Gab: Any other thoughts on the podcast?

00:07:24.566 --> 00:07:25.689
Jody: Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

00:07:25.689 --> 00:07:27.286
I, think that content is good.

00:07:27.721 --> 00:07:28.089
Gab: Yeah.

00:07:28.426 --> 00:07:30.586
Jody: You know, I, I think
we're approaching it from,

00:07:31.086 --> 00:07:34.146
you know, the angle of, Hey, is this
something you might want to get into,

00:07:35.486 --> 00:07:35.681
people?

00:07:35.681 --> 00:07:36.401
Yeah.

00:07:36.401 --> 00:07:36.411
Yeah.

00:07:36.641 --> 00:07:37.121
Gab: I like that.

00:07:37.451 --> 00:07:37.901
Jody: Yeah.

00:07:38.161 --> 00:07:39.331
I hope other people like it.

00:07:39.526 --> 00:07:39.863
Gab: Yeah.

00:07:39.996 --> 00:07:42.156
Jody: But, um, I really
do like the interviews.

00:07:42.186 --> 00:07:43.086
That's like my thing.

00:07:43.206 --> 00:07:43.356
Gab: Yeah

00:07:43.396 --> 00:07:43.856
The interviews

00:07:43.896 --> 00:07:44.376
Jody: my jam.

00:07:44.736 --> 00:07:45.036
Yeah.

00:07:45.036 --> 00:07:46.351
Gab: I like the research.

00:07:46.851 --> 00:07:47.541
Jody: Yeah, you do.

00:07:47.738 --> 00:07:48.098
Gab: Yeah.

00:07:48.188 --> 00:07:49.448
I love to research.

00:07:49.948 --> 00:07:52.648
Jody: That's the thing too, when we go on
trips, Gabrielle's really good at finding

00:07:52.648 --> 00:07:54.358
all the, uh, the weirdo stuff to do.

00:07:54.673 --> 00:07:54.973
Gab: Yeah.

00:07:54.973 --> 00:07:55.908
Jody: In the area we're going to.

00:07:56.198 --> 00:07:59.538
Gab: Yeah, I put together a nice
little itinerary when we travel.

00:07:59.666 --> 00:08:00.018
Jody: Yeah.

00:08:00.228 --> 00:08:02.538
Gab: I try  some places it's hard.

00:08:02.538 --> 00:08:03.598
There's not much to do.

00:08:03.858 --> 00:08:04.898
Jody: Always a cemetery though.

00:08:05.348 --> 00:08:05.478
Gab: Yeah.

00:08:05.478 --> 00:08:05.848
Jody: Yeah there's always a cemetery.

00:08:06.318 --> 00:08:07.308
Gab: Love a good cemetery.

00:08:07.908 --> 00:08:08.308
Yeah.

00:08:08.348 --> 00:08:10.488
I'm working on a cemetery
episode right now.

00:08:10.708 --> 00:08:11.038
Jody: Oh boy.

00:08:11.358 --> 00:08:11.741
Gab: Mm-hmm.

00:08:11.921 --> 00:08:15.184
It might come out,  I don't know
if we release this, it could

00:08:15.184 --> 00:08:16.654
come out before or after.

00:08:16.654 --> 00:08:17.284
Who knows?

00:08:17.784 --> 00:08:22.574
We could start recording episodes
about trips that we've taken.

00:08:22.848 --> 00:08:23.088
Jody: Yeah.

00:08:23.088 --> 00:08:23.928
I mean, that's a good point.

00:08:23.928 --> 00:08:27.084
Now that you bring it up to you
reminded me,  our episodes are,

00:08:27.388 --> 00:08:28.528
they're recorded ahead of time.

00:08:28.821 --> 00:08:29.061
Okay.

00:08:29.061 --> 00:08:30.291
They're not, they're not live.

00:08:30.291 --> 00:08:33.581
We don't record them and
then just release them as is.

00:08:33.581 --> 00:08:33.851
Right.

00:08:33.851 --> 00:08:37.728
So they're heavily edited and what I mean
by that is, again, I like it to sound

00:08:37.728 --> 00:08:42.148
good,  so when I say heavily edited,
I am editing it to make it sound good.

00:08:42.428 --> 00:08:42.778
Gab: Right.

00:08:42.828 --> 00:08:44.838
Jody: I have that luxury of.

00:08:45.338 --> 00:08:45.908
You know, we

00:08:45.908 --> 00:08:47.348
could bank a few episodes.

00:08:47.628 --> 00:08:49.908
And then I have the luxury of
picking and choosing, all right,

00:08:49.908 --> 00:08:51.348
which one are we gonna release next?

00:08:51.848 --> 00:08:54.938
You know, and sometimes we're recording
and then, you know we're releasing an

00:08:54.938 --> 00:08:58.514
episode that we just recorded a week
earlier Like, it's happened, you know,

00:08:59.014 --> 00:09:00.364
October was one of those months.

00:09:00.394 --> 00:09:00.694
Gab: Yeah.

00:09:01.301 --> 00:09:04.948
Jody: But we kinda have the freedom to
choose what we're releasing when, you

00:09:04.948 --> 00:09:07.038
know, when we want to, when it fits.

00:09:07.384 --> 00:09:09.123
Gab: And that helps too, in a way.

00:09:09.373 --> 00:09:13.833
If life gets a little bit out of
control  and we don't have the ability

00:09:13.833 --> 00:09:19.603
to record,  we have an episode or two
that we can use and we don't have to

00:09:19.603 --> 00:09:20.053
worry.

00:09:20.143 --> 00:09:20.209
Well,

00:09:21.013 --> 00:09:21.523
So So that helps.

00:09:22.078 --> 00:09:22.318
Jody: Yeah.

00:09:22.491 --> 00:09:23.361
That'll happen with the wedding.

00:09:23.631 --> 00:09:23.751
Gab: Yeah.

00:09:23.751 --> 00:09:23.761
Jody: The,

00:09:23.796 --> 00:09:24.096
Gab: Yeah.

00:09:24.096 --> 00:09:24.251
the whole

00:09:24.291 --> 00:09:24.741
Jody: wedding week.

00:09:24.741 --> 00:09:25.161
Forget it.

00:09:25.661 --> 00:09:26.051
Gab: Yeah.

00:09:26.264 --> 00:09:26.484
Jody: You know,

00:09:27.161 --> 00:09:28.211
Gab: probably the whole month.

00:09:28.421 --> 00:09:28.751
Jody: The whole month

00:09:29.321 --> 00:09:29.818
Gab: at least.

00:09:30.645 --> 00:09:31.581
Jody: So yeah, I don't, edit.

00:09:31.802 --> 00:09:33.722
In a way that I'm changing what

00:09:34.222 --> 00:09:34.413
content

00:09:34.413 --> 00:09:34.473
Gab: is.

00:09:34.473 --> 00:09:35.733
Jody: You know, I'm not
changing the content.

00:09:35.733 --> 00:09:36.243
Exactly.

00:09:36.243 --> 00:09:38.253
Like when we do an
interview, the interview is,

00:09:38.448 --> 00:09:38.808
Gab: Right.

00:09:38.898 --> 00:09:40.648
Jody: what we recorded with the person.

00:09:40.648 --> 00:09:43.618
I might remove some ums and ahs and
you know, clean it up a little bit.

00:09:43.618 --> 00:09:48.198
Remove long gaps between, because I don't
want  our audience to be bored as hell.

00:09:48.468 --> 00:09:48.738
Gab: Right.

00:09:48.738 --> 00:09:50.838
It's just edited to be more professional.

00:09:50.998 --> 00:09:51.108
Jody: Yeah.

00:09:51.108 --> 00:09:51.828
Gab: Put together.

00:09:52.031 --> 00:09:52.361
Jody: Yeah.

00:09:52.881 --> 00:09:55.409
Gab: And less like, I don't know, uncut,

00:09:56.369 --> 00:09:56.884
Jody: less uncut.

00:09:57.029 --> 00:09:57.209
Yeah.

00:09:57.709 --> 00:10:00.549
So you guys are getting a little glimpse
of the man behind the curtain here.

00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:02.019
How the magic happens.

00:10:02.539 --> 00:10:04.786
Gab: Anything else you wanna
talk about for the podcast?

00:10:05.286 --> 00:10:05.736
Jody: No.

00:10:05.736 --> 00:10:07.616
I mean, the gear is
always a challenge, right?

00:10:07.826 --> 00:10:08.336
Gab: Yeah.

00:10:08.586 --> 00:10:09.853
Jody: We got a pretty good setup now.

00:10:10.353 --> 00:10:10.833
Gab: Yeah,

00:10:10.893 --> 00:10:11.193
Jody: Yeah.

00:10:11.693 --> 00:10:12.024
Gab: yeah.

00:10:12.533 --> 00:10:13.733
Jody: You gonna yawn during this?

00:10:14.233 --> 00:10:15.223
Gab: I just maybe

00:10:15.403 --> 00:10:15.823
Jody: Crazy.

00:10:16.358 --> 00:10:16.868
That's crazy.

00:10:16.868 --> 00:10:16.958
You're

00:10:16.958 --> 00:10:17.198
Gab: putting the

00:10:17.198 --> 00:10:18.278
Jody: audience to sleep right now.

00:10:18.778 --> 00:10:19.636
Gab: My back hurts.

00:10:20.686 --> 00:10:22.906
I'm trying to find a way
that it doesn't, but I can't.

00:10:23.196 --> 00:10:24.696
Jody: Oh, you got the
comfy couch seat too.

00:10:25.176 --> 00:10:25.746
Gab: Yeah.

00:10:25.776 --> 00:10:26.766
Jody: Maybe that's a bad idea.

00:10:26.916 --> 00:10:28.286
Gab: No, it's just my back.

00:10:28.726 --> 00:10:32.401
I have to like hunch my back to be close
to the microphone, but then that hurts.

00:10:32.901 --> 00:10:33.121
So,

00:10:33.621 --> 00:10:37.181
Jody: so everybody's getting a, uh,
little bit of our personality today too.

00:10:37.801 --> 00:10:40.151
Gab: Peak into my in my spine.

00:10:40.245 --> 00:10:40.361
Jody: Yeah.

00:10:40.721 --> 00:10:45.121
Our, not just our personality, but
our, our medical issues as well.

00:10:45.599 --> 00:10:48.749
You don't know if we want to talk
about this, but we just got back from

00:10:48.749 --> 00:10:50.079
an investigation last night actually.

00:10:50.129 --> 00:10:50.969
Gab: last night.

00:10:50.969 --> 00:10:51.419
Yeah.

00:10:51.419 --> 00:10:51.629
Jody: Yeah.

00:10:51.923 --> 00:10:56.459
Gab: We finally got to go back to
Pike County Historical Center Society.

00:10:56.959 --> 00:10:57.709
The Collums

00:10:57.844 --> 00:10:58.534
Jody: Museum, yeah.

00:10:59.014 --> 00:11:00.122
Gab: Here in Pennsylvania.

00:11:00.663 --> 00:11:06.438
If you haven't listened to our original
episode, about that location, you should.

00:11:06.528 --> 00:11:08.068
It's a fantastic location.

00:11:08.308 --> 00:11:08.518
Jody: Yeah.

00:11:08.768 --> 00:11:12.058
Gab: You should go and research it
on your own through their website.

00:11:12.058 --> 00:11:14.458
It's listed in the notes for the episode.

00:11:14.705 --> 00:11:19.765
And if you're local, I mean, it is worth
just going in the day and checking it out.

00:11:20.177 --> 00:11:26.653
They also do, in October, they do like
ghost tours about Milford and the history.

00:11:27.043 --> 00:11:30.083
We said we were gonna go last
year and then October crazy.

00:11:30.223 --> 00:11:31.813
Jody: Oh October yeah is
cra-, forget it right?

00:11:31.933 --> 00:11:33.703
Gab: So we said we have to go this year.

00:11:34.019 --> 00:11:36.689
it's just, it's got so much history

00:11:36.719 --> 00:11:39.059
Jody: and we learned a little bit
new every time we go up there.

00:11:39.179 --> 00:11:39.599
Gab: Yeah.

00:11:39.599 --> 00:11:41.089
yeah It's a really interesting place.

00:11:41.423 --> 00:11:45.883
Jody: Tim, who, who actually does the tour
is, is a, uh, great historical resource.

00:11:45.973 --> 00:11:46.453
Gab: Oh my God.

00:11:46.453 --> 00:11:47.404
He is fantastic.

00:11:47.483 --> 00:11:49.434
Jody: He tells us different
stories every time,

00:11:49.689 --> 00:11:50.529
every time we're there.

00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:51.219
Gab: Yeah.

00:11:51.513 --> 00:11:53.182
Jody: So anyway,   what
do we got coming up?

00:11:53.339 --> 00:11:55.379
Gab: Creature feature in a couple weeks?

00:11:55.439 --> 00:11:56.369
Like a month?

00:11:56.786 --> 00:12:00.116
Jody: I mean, like,  what are
our plans for the next year.

00:12:00.616 --> 00:12:01.456
Gab: Like for what?

00:12:01.956 --> 00:12:02.556
How do you mean?

00:12:03.056 --> 00:12:04.466
Jody: Well, we're trying to
do this in a way that we're

00:12:04.466 --> 00:12:05.666
trying to save a little money,

00:12:06.166 --> 00:12:06.706
Gab: right.

00:12:07.206 --> 00:12:08.826
I mean, we have two trips coming up.

00:12:09.156 --> 00:12:12.044
Jody: So how do you do that when
you, you know, it's $500 a night

00:12:12.044 --> 00:12:13.394
to rent out a place or more, right?

00:12:13.723 --> 00:12:13.894
Gab: Yeah.

00:12:13.894 --> 00:12:14.411
It's tough.

00:12:14.741 --> 00:12:18.157
I've said we could look at like
local hotels  That are haunted.

00:12:18.277 --> 00:12:20.077
Just go to the hotel, spend a night,

00:12:20.327 --> 00:12:20.477
Jody: Yeah.

00:12:20.477 --> 00:12:24.927
Gab: Investigate the hotel,  you know,
cheaper than $500 a night at a location

00:12:24.947 --> 00:12:25.007
Jody: yeah.

00:12:25.866 --> 00:12:26.886
hotels are a good idea.

00:12:27.051 --> 00:12:27.411
Gab: Yeah.

00:12:27.911 --> 00:12:29.346
Jody: A lot of people pass through hotels.

00:12:29.719 --> 00:12:30.049
Gab: Yeah.

00:12:30.199 --> 00:12:31.249
There's that option.

00:12:31.552 --> 00:12:33.626
I also, I don't know about you.

00:12:33.986 --> 00:12:35.009
I feel like.

00:12:35.509 --> 00:12:39.989
I've gotten to a point
where going to a location

00:12:40.079 --> 00:12:44.926
and investigating it just
doesn't  like fit  for me.

00:12:45.426 --> 00:12:45.816
Jody: What do you mean?

00:12:46.316 --> 00:12:50.726
Gab: Like, um, I don't know how
much you wanna get into it, but like

00:12:50.851 --> 00:12:51.181
Jody: Yep.

00:12:51.181 --> 00:12:51.621
just let er rip.

00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:52.119
With,

00:12:53.644 --> 00:12:55.744
Gab: with the research that we've started

00:12:55.829 --> 00:12:56.119
Jody: Yeah.

00:12:56.314 --> 00:12:59.051
Gab: Back in October  been slowly

00:12:59.141 --> 00:13:00.731
Jody: Well, the research that you started,

00:13:01.541 --> 00:13:05.841
I am what, what they call
a willing, uh, component

00:13:05.971 --> 00:13:06.161
Gab: yeah

00:13:06.161 --> 00:13:06.561
Jody: in this

00:13:06.956 --> 00:13:07.056
Gab: You're like a

00:13:07.056 --> 00:13:07.776
participant.

00:13:07.836 --> 00:13:08.696
Jody: I'm a participant.

00:13:08.716 --> 00:13:08.986
Yes.

00:13:09.202 --> 00:13:14.022
Gab: I don't know, I just feel like
I'd rather stay home and focus on

00:13:14.022 --> 00:13:18.022
that or go to our one local spot.

00:13:18.228 --> 00:13:18.473
Jody: Yeah.

00:13:18.526 --> 00:13:21.356
Gab: And, you know, focus
on what's going on there.

00:13:21.546 --> 00:13:21.846
Jody: Right.

00:13:22.266 --> 00:13:23.286
Gab: And try to figure that out.

00:13:23.986 --> 00:13:28.346
And I just feel like going to
these other places just adds a

00:13:28.346 --> 00:13:31.424
component that it's like, why?

00:13:31.754 --> 00:13:31.994
Like

00:13:31.994 --> 00:13:32.114
I

00:13:32.114 --> 00:13:32.324
don't

00:13:32.324 --> 00:13:32.714
even,

00:13:34.491 --> 00:13:38.077
I hate saying it 'cause you know
who I feel like I sound like

00:13:38.956 --> 00:13:39.011
Jody: Yes, I know.

00:13:39.021 --> 00:13:39.861
Gab: Um, but

00:13:41.181 --> 00:13:46.124
I just feel like,  I don't know, like
we don't even believe in this anymore.

00:13:46.904 --> 00:13:46.994
Jody: Um,

00:13:47.564 --> 00:13:47.984
Gab: but like,

00:13:51.284 --> 00:13:53.894
you know, I just feel like, I

00:13:53.984 --> 00:13:55.064
Jody: it could it could be worse.

00:13:55.124 --> 00:13:56.834
You could be in an abandoned location

00:13:57.394 --> 00:13:57.574
Gab: Yelling

00:13:57.694 --> 00:13:59.104
Jody: at demons and getting possessed.

00:13:59.104 --> 00:13:59.344
Right?

00:13:59.544 --> 00:13:59.914
Gab: Right.

00:13:59.924 --> 00:14:00.364
Jody: Yeah.

00:14:00.364 --> 00:14:01.564
So I don't feel bad for saying it.

00:14:01.564 --> 00:14:04.624
I know people are gonna pick up on
what you're talking about, who you're

00:14:04.624 --> 00:14:05.894
talking about specifically but.

00:14:05.944 --> 00:14:06.534
Gab: I mean, are there gonna be though?

00:14:06.534 --> 00:14:07.374
I don't think so.

00:14:08.651 --> 00:14:09.911
I just feel like it's so niche.

00:14:10.364 --> 00:14:10.949
But I just.

00:14:11.576 --> 00:14:20.089
Feel like,   our  framework for doing
this has evolved  past that  and  like,

00:14:20.179 --> 00:14:25.839
I don't even believe that a spirit is
someone who's passed on necessarily All

00:14:25.839 --> 00:14:26.109
of the

00:14:26.109 --> 00:14:26.709
time.

00:14:26.769 --> 00:14:27.119
Like,

00:14:27.119 --> 00:14:27.599
Jody: or ever.

00:14:27.902 --> 00:14:28.322
Right?

00:14:28.322 --> 00:14:28.382
I

00:14:28.382 --> 00:14:28.682
mean,

00:14:28.687 --> 00:14:28.907
Gab: Right.

00:14:29.012 --> 00:14:30.422
I mean, I'm sure they're there.

00:14:30.482 --> 00:14:33.302
I'm sure there are those instances
where we are communicating

00:14:33.402 --> 00:14:34.662
people who've passed on.

00:14:34.872 --> 00:14:35.142
Jody: Yeah.

00:14:35.142 --> 00:14:36.462
Well, we talk about this all the time too.

00:14:36.462 --> 00:14:37.692
We've never contacted

00:14:37.767 --> 00:14:38.717
a dead relative.

00:14:38.717 --> 00:14:39.137
Gab: A dead relative.

00:14:39.427 --> 00:14:40.467
Jody: No, we've never tried though,

00:14:40.507 --> 00:14:41.537
to be be fair.

00:14:41.900 --> 00:14:42.230
Gab: No.

00:14:42.730 --> 00:14:43.240
Never tried,

00:14:43.740 --> 00:14:44.190
Jody: you know?

00:14:44.305 --> 00:14:44.725
Mm-hmm.

00:14:45.005 --> 00:14:46.380
I don't know what that says about us.

00:14:46.880 --> 00:14:49.190
I mean, I don't feel the, I don't feel
the need, I don't feel the, I don't

00:14:49.190 --> 00:14:51.954
have the urgency to be like, Hey,
I wanna meet my great-grandfather.

00:14:51.954 --> 00:14:52.644
I never met him.

00:14:52.754 --> 00:14:53.134
You know what I mean?

00:14:53.134 --> 00:14:53.194
Gab: Right

00:14:53.374 --> 00:14:53.884
Jody: Like-at that point,

00:14:53.924 --> 00:14:55.994
I don't have a personal
connection to someone who's been

00:14:56.264 --> 00:14:57.094
Deceased Deceased that long.

00:14:57.650 --> 00:15:01.350
But even like, you know, like my, my
aunt, my grandmother, and my grandfather.

00:15:01.380 --> 00:15:05.000
I just, I don't have the need
to try to  speak to them.

00:15:05.477 --> 00:15:05.837
Gab: Right.

00:15:05.837 --> 00:15:06.527
I don't either.

00:15:06.867 --> 00:15:10.750
I feel like the closest I got
was  the phone of the wind when

00:15:10.750 --> 00:15:12.320
we were in the Pittsburgh area
and i got to talk on the phone,.

00:15:13.154 --> 00:15:13.724
Jody: And it's funny you would

00:15:13.724 --> 00:15:16.664
bring that up because when we were
talking about, um, you finding all

00:15:16.664 --> 00:15:18.104
the weird hotspots in the area.

00:15:18.224 --> 00:15:18.524
Gab: Yeah.

00:15:18.554 --> 00:15:20.984
Jody: Well, not hotspots, but the
weird, the weird shit to do in the area.

00:15:21.044 --> 00:15:21.374
Gab: Yeah.

00:15:21.607 --> 00:15:23.605
Jody: I was talking about
cemeteries and this and that, and

00:15:23.605 --> 00:15:25.761
I was gonna bring up the phone
where you could talk to the dead.

00:15:25.967 --> 00:15:30.259
Gab: Yeah  just an untethered
if you will  disconnected.

00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:31.269
What do they even call them?

00:15:31.269 --> 00:15:31.519
Jody: It's a payph- like a

00:15:32.193 --> 00:15:32.349
Gab: payphone

00:15:32.349 --> 00:15:33.699
Jody: A payphone thing.

00:15:34.583 --> 00:15:34.623
them?

00:15:34.623 --> 00:15:34.948
Gab: What is word?

00:15:35.858 --> 00:15:36.388
What is the word?

00:15:36.498 --> 00:15:36.788
come

00:15:37.033 --> 00:15:38.508
Jody: You grew up on
payphones and and pagers.

00:15:38.658 --> 00:15:38.713
You

00:15:38.828 --> 00:15:38.908
Gab: know

00:15:39.078 --> 00:15:39.568
Jody: You can't say that.

00:15:40.148 --> 00:15:40.388
Gab: I know.

00:15:41.353 --> 00:15:42.903
Jody: you're making feel older now.

00:15:42.926 --> 00:15:47.696
Gab: Like just a disconnected payphone
that you go to, you pick up the receiver.

00:15:47.846 --> 00:15:49.596
There is nothing there.

00:15:49.602 --> 00:15:50.826
You don't have a dial tone.

00:15:51.166 --> 00:15:53.196
It's just empty space.

00:15:53.696 --> 00:15:58.646
Um, and you can use it to connect
to people that you've lost.

00:15:59.146 --> 00:15:59.296
Jody: Yeah.

00:15:59.296 --> 00:16:01.438
It's, it's a,  like a cathartic

00:16:01.945 --> 00:16:02.465
Sort of Sort of, yeah.

00:16:02.670 --> 00:16:03.160
Gab: It's just for you.

00:16:03.645 --> 00:16:05.805
Jody: You're feeling guilty and
you wanna get on there and, yeah.

00:16:06.145 --> 00:16:06.335
Gab: Right or just if you wanna connect.

00:16:06.375 --> 00:16:06.855
Jody: I didn't, I

00:16:06.855 --> 00:16:07.335
didn't, do it.

00:16:07.495 --> 00:16:07.885
Honestly.

00:16:07.885 --> 00:16:08.545
I thought it was silly.

00:16:08.945 --> 00:16:09.725
That's just me though.

00:16:09.725 --> 00:16:12.135
I get, I get the psychology behind it.

00:16:13.095 --> 00:16:13.475
You know,

00:16:13.485 --> 00:16:16.445
people carry grief for a long time,
and if you wanna kind of unload on a

00:16:16.445 --> 00:16:20.052
dead phone, well then if that helps,
then hey,  Go Go for it, you know

00:16:20.482 --> 00:16:23.032
people talk to themselves all the
time to, to, deal with their, grief.

00:16:23.532 --> 00:16:23.892
Gab: Yeah.

00:16:23.922 --> 00:16:25.122
I think it's really interesting.

00:16:25.122 --> 00:16:26.622
And there's only so many in the world.

00:16:27.108 --> 00:16:27.288
Jody: I think

00:16:27.288 --> 00:16:27.498
it'd be

00:16:27.498 --> 00:16:27.738
really

00:16:27.738 --> 00:16:31.724
interesting if someone,  someone made
one  in a public place and they just

00:16:31.724 --> 00:16:34.194
fed like a spirit box through it.

00:16:34.509 --> 00:16:35.109
Gab: No,

00:16:36.830 --> 00:16:41.259
that's the cool thing is it's like you
are just, you know, nothing is coming

00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:41.549
out

00:16:41.549 --> 00:16:41.819
Jody: Right.

00:16:42.175 --> 00:16:45.199
Gab: So it just feels like
you're talking into the void.

00:16:45.517 --> 00:16:45.664
Jody: Yeah.

00:16:45.694 --> 00:16:45.814
You

00:16:46.129 --> 00:16:49.809
Gab: and it's like you do feel, I
felt, I don't know if others would

00:16:49.839 --> 00:16:54.389
feel like this, but I did feel like
I was  like surrounded by family.

00:16:54.524 --> 00:16:54.704
Jody: Yeah.

00:16:55.204 --> 00:16:59.154
Gab: You know, by the people that I
was talking to  and I don't remember,

00:17:00.414 --> 00:17:01.884
We We went in, yeah.

00:17:01.894 --> 00:17:03.354
We had gone there in april.

00:17:03.354 --> 00:17:03.774
Right?

00:17:04.274 --> 00:17:05.744
Jody: Was this our trip to Lancaster?

00:17:06.794 --> 00:17:07.281
Oh, that's right.

00:17:07.314 --> 00:17:09.941
Gab: So it was, was it
after my uncle passed?

00:17:10.441 --> 00:17:11.506
Jody: It would've been, I think.

00:17:11.731 --> 00:17:11.866
Gab: Yeah.

00:17:11.866 --> 00:17:12.211
Yeah Yes.

00:17:12.211 --> 00:17:15.161
So Because I was able to, I talked
to him, I talked to my grandmother

00:17:15.161 --> 00:17:16.501
Jody: oh right after i think it was yeah,

00:17:16.501 --> 00:17:16.781
Gab: yeah.

00:17:17.186 --> 00:17:17.959
not even a year.

00:17:18.173 --> 00:17:18.413
Jody: Yeah.

00:17:18.930 --> 00:17:22.749
Gab: I talked to him and my
grandmother,  my grandfather,  my pets,

00:17:23.149 --> 00:17:23.830
Jody: Your pets.

00:17:23.895 --> 00:17:27.520
Gab: Except one, and I feel
so bad I forgot him, but if we

00:17:27.520 --> 00:17:28.990
ever go back, he'll be the first

00:17:29.387 --> 00:17:30.467
Jody: What were we out in Pittsburgh for?

00:17:30.467 --> 00:17:31.157
I can't remember

00:17:31.417 --> 00:17:32.394
Gab: An investigation.

00:17:32.663 --> 00:17:34.687
Jody: Oh, that was, uh,  Hillview Manor.

00:17:34.747 --> 00:17:35.227
Gab: Yes.

00:17:35.317 --> 00:17:36.727
I was like, what is it even called?

00:17:36.787 --> 00:17:37.357
Jody: Hillview Manor, Yeah.

00:17:37.657 --> 00:17:38.092
That's what it was.

00:17:38.092 --> 00:17:38.977
That was a cool place.

00:17:39.037 --> 00:17:40.477
Gab: That was a really cool place.

00:17:40.993 --> 00:17:42.567
It had a really good atmosphere.

00:17:42.687 --> 00:17:43.107
Jody: Yeah.

00:17:43.177 --> 00:17:45.577
I equate that one to something
more like Fort Mifflin.

00:17:46.467 --> 00:17:47.937
You spend a lot of time there.

00:17:48.327 --> 00:17:48.777
Gab: Yeah.

00:17:49.977 --> 00:17:50.337
No.

00:17:51.183 --> 00:17:51.943
Until it does.

00:17:51.943 --> 00:17:52.313
Jody: Yeah.

00:17:52.650 --> 00:17:55.944
Gab: And that was the place where
I had the  vision, if you will.

00:17:56.540 --> 00:17:57.080
Jody: Oh yeah yeah.

00:17:57.385 --> 00:17:57.445
Gab: Yeah.

00:17:57.445 --> 00:18:02.771
Where it was just like a flash for like
two, three seconds where  it was like

00:18:02.771 --> 00:18:07.144
all of a sudden saw like a working,
functioning,  personal care home.

00:18:07.534 --> 00:18:09.604
Jody: And I almost hate doing
this 'cause I do it all the time.

00:18:09.604 --> 00:18:11.104
I always bring up another episode.

00:18:11.644 --> 00:18:11.914
Right.

00:18:11.914 --> 00:18:15.344
But it's kinda like our interview  That
we had just had with Johnny Hull.

00:18:15.804 --> 00:18:16.104
Yeah.

00:18:16.164 --> 00:18:18.324
And he calls that like
the movie mode, I believe.

00:18:18.820 --> 00:18:20.201
Gab: I think like a movie, he said.

00:18:20.201 --> 00:18:21.231
said Yeah.

00:18:21.231 --> 00:18:23.871
And I immediately was
like, yeah, I've had that.

00:18:24.181 --> 00:18:25.201
Jody: You could see what's going on.

00:18:25.201 --> 00:18:26.251
You just can't interact with it.

00:18:27.231 --> 00:18:27.301
Gab: Right.

00:18:27.301 --> 00:18:27.361
Right.

00:18:27.361 --> 00:18:27.711
You just see it.

00:18:27.711 --> 00:18:28.591
Jody: You see that you know of anyway.

00:18:28.887 --> 00:18:29.187
Gab: Yeah.

00:18:29.187 --> 00:18:32.217
And it's like you're there and
you're,  you're not a participant,

00:18:32.217 --> 00:18:34.007
but you're like  an observer.

00:18:34.201 --> 00:18:34.411
Jody: Yeah.

00:18:34.411 --> 00:18:37.681
So like real talk here, is that your
imagination going nuts or is that, like,

00:18:37.927 --> 00:18:38.797
how do you feel about that?

00:18:39.007 --> 00:18:39.037
Gab: Right.

00:18:39.037 --> 00:18:40.267
I mean, what is it?

00:18:40.307 --> 00:18:42.367
I was kind of hoping it
would happen yesterday in our

00:18:42.367 --> 00:18:43.327
investigation.

00:18:43.657 --> 00:18:43.747
Right.

00:18:43.747 --> 00:18:45.247
But it didn't, so I was a little sad.

00:18:45.581 --> 00:18:48.721
it's the only time it's ever
happened to me  that I can remember.

00:18:48.914 --> 00:18:50.294
. And it hasn't happened since.

00:18:50.444 --> 00:18:51.584
It didn't happen before.

00:18:51.584 --> 00:18:53.524
It was just  in that location

00:18:53.797 --> 00:18:54.067
Jody: Yeah.

00:18:54.284 --> 00:18:59.371
Gab: and it had such a unique feeling
to it, and  I kept saying all night.

00:18:59.551 --> 00:19:02.966
It really feels like this place is
just still  functioning  and you could

00:19:02.966 --> 00:19:04.916
just really feel the energy here.

00:19:04.946 --> 00:19:06.686
Like it's just a really good energy.

00:19:07.106 --> 00:19:10.376
And it felt like, um, I think it's Norway.

00:19:10.458 --> 00:19:10.501
Jody: Mm-hmm.

00:19:11.126 --> 00:19:15.273
Gab: They believe the, I think it's
called the Huldufólk, the hidden people.

00:19:15.454 --> 00:19:15.783
Jody: Mm-hmm.

00:19:15.973 --> 00:19:20.553
Gab: And it's like your existing, and
they're existing in the same place.

00:19:20.553 --> 00:19:21.543
You just can't see them.

00:19:21.723 --> 00:19:22.803
Jody: Oh, are they like fairies?

00:19:22.803 --> 00:19:23.043
Like,

00:19:23.542 --> 00:19:24.363
Gab: in a way?

00:19:24.423 --> 00:19:24.993
Yeah.

00:19:25.383 --> 00:19:25.683
Jody: Yeah.

00:19:25.983 --> 00:19:30.483
Gab: they, um, they have rerouted
roads and things around where

00:19:30.483 --> 00:19:31.923
they believe these people are

00:19:32.120 --> 00:19:32.403
living.

00:19:32.403 --> 00:19:33.163
Jody: I hate the word fairy.

00:19:33.163 --> 00:19:34.933
Fae is what I have to say now.

00:19:34.933 --> 00:19:38.576
I always equate fairies with
Disney, you know, wings and

00:19:39.120 --> 00:19:39.566
Cutesy.

00:19:39.566 --> 00:19:41.040
And I hate using that word.

00:19:41.343 --> 00:19:42.818
Gab: But that's what it kind of felt like.

00:19:42.818 --> 00:19:45.818
Like we were, we were there
and they were there too.

00:19:45.898 --> 00:19:46.278
Jody: Yeah.

00:19:46.378 --> 00:19:48.008
Gab: But I like they were hidden.

00:19:48.098 --> 00:19:48.968
We couldn't see them.

00:19:48.998 --> 00:19:53.308
They were like in a different time
or different universe, but still,

00:19:53.608 --> 00:19:53.818
Jody: yeah,

00:19:53.998 --> 00:19:54.748
Gab: right there.

00:19:54.748 --> 00:19:56.043
Like under the surface.

00:19:56.543 --> 00:19:56.843
Yeah.

00:19:56.903 --> 00:19:57.893
That's a really cool place.

00:19:57.893 --> 00:20:01.313
If you haven't gone, if you've been
thinking about going, definitely go.

00:20:01.612 --> 00:20:02.123
It's worth it.

00:20:02.623 --> 00:20:02.773
Jody: You'll

00:20:02.773 --> 00:20:03.883
need a group of about 10.

00:20:04.273 --> 00:20:05.043
Split the cost.

00:20:05.065 --> 00:20:08.671
Gab: yeah,  Even if you take a
five hour trip like we did to go,

00:20:08.951 --> 00:20:10.281
Jody: Well, five  hours for us anyway.

00:20:11.177 --> 00:20:12.612
Gab: Yeah, it's definitely worth it.

00:20:13.112 --> 00:20:14.672
Plus just being in that area was cool.

00:20:14.672 --> 00:20:16.052
I've never been there before.

00:20:16.282 --> 00:20:18.652
Jody: I feel like this is a good
format too, to just kind of unload

00:20:18.652 --> 00:20:21.022
a little bit because we're talking
about investigations that we did

00:20:21.022 --> 00:20:22.372
that didn't necessarily make it

00:20:22.567 --> 00:20:22.929
Gab: Right.

00:20:22.969 --> 00:20:23.791
Jody: To the podcast

00:20:23.931 --> 00:20:24.831
Which happens.

00:20:24.921 --> 00:20:25.521
It happens a

00:20:25.521 --> 00:20:25.846
lot.

00:20:25.851 --> 00:20:26.701
Gab: Yeah, it does

00:20:27.191 --> 00:20:27.551
Jody: So.

00:20:27.694 --> 00:20:29.102
It's nice to unload a little bit.

00:20:29.616 --> 00:20:32.636
Gab: But I feel like that trip was
kind of like a bucket list trip.

00:20:33.379 --> 00:20:35.952
like when we went to Chicago,  I
was like, we're probably

00:20:35.952 --> 00:20:37.422
never coming back here again.

00:20:37.422 --> 00:20:39.049
Let's do everything we wanna do.

00:20:39.409 --> 00:20:43.039
I do regret that we didn't go to Hull
House when we were in Chicago, but

00:20:43.302 --> 00:20:44.742
I might be able to live with that.

00:20:44.802 --> 00:20:48.302
I mean, I don't know for
sure, but, um, I might,

00:20:48.388 --> 00:20:51.272
Jody: Well, I mean, if we were out
in Chicago today, we probably would

00:20:51.512 --> 00:20:53.196
make it a point to go there because,

00:20:53.201 --> 00:20:53.371
Gab: Yeah.

00:20:53.496 --> 00:20:55.656
Jody: like we're doing a lot
more of this sort of stuff.

00:20:55.746 --> 00:20:56.196
Gab: Yeah.

00:20:56.696 --> 00:20:58.556
Jody: You know, plus the
podcast, something to talk about.

00:20:58.961 --> 00:20:59.321
Gab: Yeah.

00:20:59.321 --> 00:21:02.651
And for, you know, should
people listen to this.

00:21:03.131 --> 00:21:07.168
Um, just to let you know that Hull
House is the original settlement house

00:21:07.168 --> 00:21:11.008
that was created by Jane Adams I think.

00:21:11.508 --> 00:21:15.028
Just off the top of my memory
here,  , in Chicago, settlement

00:21:15.028 --> 00:21:21.988
house is  like a one stop  location
for social services in a way.

00:21:22.328 --> 00:21:26.457
They provided housing, education,
medical, you know, all different

00:21:26.457 --> 00:21:28.407
kinds of support that you might need.

00:21:28.727 --> 00:21:31.777
So you could just go to the one
building and kind of everything

00:21:31.777 --> 00:21:32.957
you needed was under one roof.

00:21:33.173 --> 00:21:36.157
And it was really helpful for people
and  I feel like it's something

00:21:36.157 --> 00:21:37.777
every community can benefit from.

00:21:38.277 --> 00:21:40.347
Jody: So let's reel it back into
what you were, you were saying

00:21:40.347 --> 00:21:42.617
about what your current mindset is.

00:21:42.617 --> 00:21:43.787
Your current belief system.

00:21:44.087 --> 00:21:47.790
Gab: Yeah, I just feel
like,   I'm beyond,  like,

00:21:47.790 --> 00:21:53.608
I even think to myself  like, why would a
spirit want to be here in this location?

00:21:53.608 --> 00:21:56.538
Like, why would that
spirit want  to stay here?

00:21:57.038 --> 00:22:00.428
Sometimes I think that, and it's,
you know, it just doesn't make sense

00:22:00.428 --> 00:22:04.238
to me all the time when people say,
like, in this location, this spirit's

00:22:04.238 --> 00:22:04.538
here.

00:22:04.643 --> 00:22:04.883
Jody: Yeah.

00:22:04.988 --> 00:22:05.048
Gab: Yeah.

00:22:05.048 --> 00:22:05.498
Why?

00:22:05.861 --> 00:22:10.033
Jody: I mean, if we're not, if we're
not thinking of ghosts as dead people

00:22:10.176 --> 00:22:10.513
Gab: right.

00:22:10.763 --> 00:22:13.823
Jody: If it's something left over, if
there's some kind of energy left over.

00:22:14.073 --> 00:22:14.323
Gab: Right.

00:22:14.323 --> 00:22:16.033
They could be there for a few reasons.

00:22:16.123 --> 00:22:16.603
Yeah.

00:22:16.903 --> 00:22:18.363
Like something residual.

00:22:18.710 --> 00:22:23.090
You know, they could be associated
maybe to an object there, to something

00:22:23.090 --> 00:22:24.687
that they loved during their life even,

00:22:24.687 --> 00:22:25.867
Jody: which makes sense
with museums, right?

00:22:25.867 --> 00:22:26.187
Gab: Right.

00:22:26.217 --> 00:22:29.727
Or even the location that they loved,
that location during their life.

00:22:30.227 --> 00:22:33.317
Or they could be something
that people who are going there

00:22:33.817 --> 00:22:36.027
to investigate are creating.

00:22:36.551 --> 00:22:37.697
They could be a thought form.

00:22:38.243 --> 00:22:41.220
An egregor  that's being
created by these people.

00:22:41.220 --> 00:22:45.030
They're going consistently being
told what the spirits are here

00:22:45.510 --> 00:22:47.670
and then trying to contact them.

00:22:48.015 --> 00:22:48.285
Jody: Yep.

00:22:48.705 --> 00:22:49.885
And then eventually they create something.

00:22:50.165 --> 00:22:50.525
Gab: Right.

00:22:50.635 --> 00:22:50.755
Jody: Yeah.

00:22:50.755 --> 00:22:51.705
It's like a, it's a

00:22:51.788 --> 00:22:53.108
Gab: Like a manifestation.

00:22:53.243 --> 00:22:53.533
Jody: Yeah.

00:22:53.758 --> 00:22:54.578
So what we learned then?

00:22:54.578 --> 00:22:56.168
Gab: Manifestation infestation.

00:22:56.408 --> 00:22:57.928
Jody: Manifestation infestation.

00:22:57.928 --> 00:22:58.198
Wow.

00:22:58.815 --> 00:22:59.507
so what have we learned

00:23:00.007 --> 00:23:00.427
Gab: about,

00:23:00.927 --> 00:23:01.827
Jody: I mean, over the past year?

00:23:01.827 --> 00:23:05.050
I mean, I can't stand  the
words "ghost hunt."

00:23:05.490 --> 00:23:05.940
Gab: I know.

00:23:05.970 --> 00:23:06.140
Jody: Anymore

00:23:06.505 --> 00:23:06.585
Gab: Me either.

00:23:06.805 --> 00:23:08.501
Jody: I find myself saying it a lot.

00:23:09.072 --> 00:23:09.612
Still.

00:23:09.909 --> 00:23:12.459
And I try to correct myself
and say investigation.

00:23:12.714 --> 00:23:13.014
Gab: Yeah.

00:23:13.014 --> 00:23:13.884
I'll say paranormal

00:23:14.739 --> 00:23:14.949
Jody: Yep.

00:23:15.204 --> 00:23:15.264
Gab: Yeah.

00:23:15.264 --> 00:23:19.254
I feel like Ghost Hunt is so
much  simpler  and smaller to

00:23:19.284 --> 00:23:19.344
say,

00:23:19.914 --> 00:23:20.004
Well

00:23:20.104 --> 00:23:22.919
Jody: well, it, ghost hunt  implies
that you're specifically going

00:23:22.919 --> 00:23:24.736
out to find an actual ghost.

00:23:24.736 --> 00:23:25.006
Right.

00:23:25.527 --> 00:23:26.796
Gab: In the simplest idea.

00:23:26.796 --> 00:23:26.946
Yeah.

00:23:26.996 --> 00:23:27.436
Jody: Exactly.

00:23:27.436 --> 00:23:31.060
Simplest form, you know, a floating
apparition, whatever, you know

00:23:31.110 --> 00:23:31.191
Gab: Yeah.

00:23:31.216 --> 00:23:31.426
Jody: Yeah.

00:23:31.726 --> 00:23:35.086
Uh, it's, first of all,
that's very uncommon, right?

00:23:35.586 --> 00:23:36.996
Like to see something visually.

00:23:37.496 --> 00:23:40.531
Unless something's interacting with
the environment, you know, whatever.

00:23:41.031 --> 00:23:44.021
Gab: I think it also
implies that you're hunting

00:23:44.196 --> 00:23:44.386
Jody: Right.

00:23:45.035 --> 00:23:45.046
Gab: For-something.

00:23:45.046 --> 00:23:45.296
Jody: Yep.

00:23:45.766 --> 00:23:50.093
Gab: You know, we're more like
trying to connect  with a, something

00:23:50.423 --> 00:23:54.443
with the spirit, with an entity,
With a energy force, if you will,

00:23:54.593 --> 00:23:54.643
Jody: Right.

00:23:54.901 --> 00:23:55.321
Gab: even.

00:23:55.821 --> 00:23:57.441
That is at a location

00:23:57.941 --> 00:24:01.321
Jody: And the investigation
part, I mean that's just trying

00:24:01.321 --> 00:24:02.931
to put it all together and I

00:24:02.931 --> 00:24:06.376
mean the biggest part of it is when
you experience something right.

00:24:06.586 --> 00:24:10.246
Trying to figure out if that was someone
else talking or whispering or you know,

00:24:10.246 --> 00:24:11.956
someone with a squeaky floorboard or

00:24:12.181 --> 00:24:12.826
Gab: Right.

00:24:13.096 --> 00:24:16.356
And it's very hard when
there are people talking.

00:24:16.506 --> 00:24:17.796
When there are people moving.

00:24:18.296 --> 00:24:18.386
When

00:24:18.386 --> 00:24:20.066
people continue to whisper, I

00:24:20.156 --> 00:24:20.166
Jody: I

00:24:20.216 --> 00:24:21.146
Gab: it sometimes.

00:24:21.226 --> 00:24:21.606
Jody: I know, we all do it.

00:24:21.746 --> 00:24:23.836
Gab: It's hard to not, um,

00:24:24.016 --> 00:24:27.076
Jody: and then we forget to tag
it and  you know, it's a nightmare

00:24:27.076 --> 00:24:28.836
going over the recordings.

00:24:29.196 --> 00:24:29.646
Gab: Yeah.

00:24:30.154 --> 00:24:33.716
Especially when you're doing like a public
investigation, it's really difficult.

00:24:34.223 --> 00:24:34.861
'cause everybody

00:24:34.861 --> 00:24:37.021
has like their own idea of
what they wanna be Doing,

00:24:37.236 --> 00:24:38.506
Jody: Even private investigations.

00:24:38.506 --> 00:24:41.236
When we go with like a group of
more than like three or four people

00:24:41.276 --> 00:24:41.606
Gab: Yeah.

00:24:41.676 --> 00:24:42.086
You get,

00:24:42.616 --> 00:24:42.826
yeah.

00:24:42.826 --> 00:24:43.271
It could get difficult.

00:24:43.506 --> 00:24:44.011
Jody: Could get difficult.

00:24:44.011 --> 00:24:46.621
You gotta track every, everything
that everybody's doing at all times.

00:24:47.086 --> 00:24:47.476
Gab: Yeah.

00:24:47.976 --> 00:24:50.416
You have to really commit
to all doing the same thing

00:24:51.046 --> 00:24:51.946
at the same time.

00:24:52.006 --> 00:24:52.326
Jody: Yep.

00:24:52.657 --> 00:24:56.184
Gab: So then where do  you see the
future of our investigations going?

00:24:56.478 --> 00:24:58.166
Jody: Uh, I mean,

00:24:58.353 --> 00:25:00.173
i'm definitely in inside
my own head a little bit.

00:25:00.363 --> 00:25:00.783
Gab: Yeah.

00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:02.693
Jody: You know, i'm overanalyzing.

00:25:03.242 --> 00:25:06.322
We're, uh, I think I'm
reframing my thought process.

00:25:06.733 --> 00:25:07.093
a lot?

00:25:07.382 --> 00:25:08.001
Gab: What do you mean?

00:25:08.545 --> 00:25:11.351
Jody: You know, I had this pretty little
picture of how all this stuff worked.

00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:14.666
And I can't say that, that I,
you know, I changed my thought

00:25:14.666 --> 00:25:17.006
process just within this last year.

00:25:17.216 --> 00:25:17.336
Gab: Mm-hmm.

00:25:17.836 --> 00:25:20.801
Jody: Um, I've been rethinking
this stuff for years.

00:25:21.223 --> 00:25:21.313
Gab: Right.

00:25:21.313 --> 00:25:22.596
Jody: As you know, as we're doing it.

00:25:22.596 --> 00:25:23.606
But over

00:25:23.606 --> 00:25:26.336
the last year, I think the
podcast has definitely helped us.

00:25:26.350 --> 00:25:26.866
Gab: Yeah.

00:25:27.091 --> 00:25:29.838
Jody: You know,  since we're
doing a little more research And

00:25:29.968 --> 00:25:31.038
Gab: yeah and reading.

00:25:31.332 --> 00:25:36.348
Jody: Reading Yeah it's helped us
reframe our perspective completely.

00:25:36.513 --> 00:25:36.633
Gab: Yeah.

00:25:37.133 --> 00:25:40.543
It, um, has expanded my
knowledge on the field.

00:25:40.828 --> 00:25:41.188
Jody: Yeah.

00:25:41.688 --> 00:25:47.988
Gab: Um, led me down paths I
didn't expect, um, you know.

00:25:48.488 --> 00:25:52.598
Whether it be like reading or even
where we've started now to break

00:25:52.598 --> 00:25:57.938
off into like magical practices
Uh, when we're investigating.

00:25:58.238 --> 00:25:59.687
You know, just things that I never

00:26:01.124 --> 00:26:01.227
Jody: thought you'd be doing

00:26:01.227 --> 00:26:02.277
Gab: really expected.

00:26:02.287 --> 00:26:07.827
I mean, I always kind of, even as
like a teenager was into like magical

00:26:07.827 --> 00:26:09.987
practice, but not like I am now.

00:26:10.017 --> 00:26:11.067
It's not the same.

00:26:11.393 --> 00:26:13.043
Jody: I mean, I'm more open to it.

00:26:13.445 --> 00:26:13.837
Gab: Right.

00:26:14.019 --> 00:26:18.604
And it's hard when, I don't know,
it's such a singular focus now.

00:26:18.604 --> 00:26:23.394
I feel like that is hard to
kind of see things another way.

00:26:23.724 --> 00:26:23.934
Yeah.

00:26:24.024 --> 00:26:29.377
To go back,  you know,  to how we
used to think  And I hate to bring

00:26:29.377 --> 00:26:33.277
it up and talk about it all the
time, but I think it goes back to

00:26:33.777 --> 00:26:35.217
what we saw in the woods that night.

00:26:35.217 --> 00:26:41.961
I think it was, it was an initiation into
us going down this path of connecting to

00:26:42.935 --> 00:26:44.055
Jody: It's definitely an initiation, yes.

00:26:44.121 --> 00:26:44.871
Gab: Something,

00:26:45.291 --> 00:26:47.842
That we didn't even know existed.

00:26:48.350 --> 00:26:48.702
Jody: Yeah.

00:26:48.882 --> 00:26:50.603
We went looking for a ghosts.

00:26:50.896 --> 00:26:51.192
Gab: Yeah.

00:26:51.642 --> 00:26:53.922
Jody: And we ended up with
something completely different.

00:26:54.215 --> 00:26:54.605
Gab: Right.

00:26:54.905 --> 00:26:58.901
Which is something that
we hadn't ever considered

00:26:59.161 --> 00:27:01.281
as a possibility, you know?

00:27:01.845 --> 00:27:05.865
Which we still don't know what it
is,  whether it is a forest spirit,  a

00:27:05.865 --> 00:27:08.614
guardian,  a watcher,  something else.

00:27:09.148 --> 00:27:09.358
Jody: Yeah.

00:27:09.763 --> 00:27:14.793
Gab: You know, I mean, that wasn't on my
radar of things that we would connect with

00:27:15.043 --> 00:27:17.983
Jody: well, it definitely put us on
a path to change the way we think.

00:27:18.028 --> 00:27:18.298
Gab: Yeah.

00:27:18.358 --> 00:27:18.778
It did.

00:27:19.051 --> 00:27:23.881
To start to research and look
into different things and Yeah.

00:27:23.951 --> 00:27:26.401
Yeah, Connect with people because of it.

00:27:26.901 --> 00:27:27.231
Yeah.

00:27:27.291 --> 00:27:32.928
Expend our knowledge in a way that
wasn't kind of like on the table before.

00:27:33.305 --> 00:27:36.725
And I feel like it's difficult
too, because you're talking to

00:27:36.725 --> 00:27:41.666
people who haven't  experienced
this and they're still on, you

00:27:41.666 --> 00:27:44.886
know, the other like framework.

00:27:44.901 --> 00:27:45.801
Jody: They're on the other side of it,

00:27:45.966 --> 00:27:46.206
Gab: Right!

00:27:46.206 --> 00:27:47.166
They're on the other side of it.

00:27:47.708 --> 00:27:48.096
Yeah.

00:27:48.146 --> 00:27:50.516
I feel like you kind of
come off like a little bit.

00:27:50.801 --> 00:27:53.201
Jody: They haven't been initiated so, I

00:27:53.201 --> 00:27:54.761
mean, let's talk about the initiation

00:27:54.761 --> 00:27:55.271
process.

00:27:55.271 --> 00:27:55.301
Gab: Okay.

00:27:55.301 --> 00:27:55.446
Yes.

00:27:56.544 --> 00:27:57.266
Let's call it that.

00:27:57.311 --> 00:27:57.491
Jody: yeah.

00:27:58.946 --> 00:28:01.526
Gab: I mean, I was gonna say, it
makes me feel like there's like

00:28:01.526 --> 00:28:03.776
some like psychosis going on,

00:28:04.276 --> 00:28:04.486
but

00:28:04.771 --> 00:28:07.491
Jody: not when you have three
people witnessing the same thing,

00:28:07.611 --> 00:28:07.991
Gab: Right.

00:28:08.001 --> 00:28:08.421
Jody: Sorry.

00:28:08.797 --> 00:28:10.897
Gab: I mean there is like
mass hysteria, but No,

00:28:13.417 --> 00:28:18.114
Jody: and we did witness it on 4/20, but,
that wasn't, that had nothing to do with

00:28:18.114 --> 00:28:18.262
it.

00:28:18.264 --> 00:28:18.444
Gab: Give

00:28:18.444 --> 00:28:22.014
me a chance to bring up the
Salem trials and I'll find a way.

00:28:23.045 --> 00:28:24.744
The mass hysteria of it all.

00:28:25.283 --> 00:28:29.387
But yeah, I mean, it kind
reshaped things for me  and

00:28:29.887 --> 00:28:32.917
Jody: I don't necessarily think
an initiation is something

00:28:32.917 --> 00:28:34.627
that you always plan for.

00:28:35.047 --> 00:28:35.347
Gab: No,

00:28:35.437 --> 00:28:35.587
Jody: it's

00:28:35.587 --> 00:28:37.372
not like it's, it's not
something you go in and say,  I

00:28:37.372 --> 00:28:39.142
want to be initiated into this

00:28:39.597 --> 00:28:39.947
Gab: Right.

00:28:40.451 --> 00:28:42.697
Jody: Relationship or world,
or whatever you wanna call it.

00:28:42.697 --> 00:28:43.417
I'm gonna say the world,

00:28:43.727 --> 00:28:44.007
Gab: Right.

00:28:44.299 --> 00:28:48.622
Jody: But it goes back to we were,
forming a little team and  you know,

00:28:48.622 --> 00:28:50.332
the, the podcast wasn't even a thing.

00:28:50.549 --> 00:28:54.829
We just wanted a really, it was just
like a, a, a hobby for a bunch of

00:28:55.375 --> 00:28:55.758
Gab: Yeah.

00:28:55.929 --> 00:28:59.769
It was really, honestly, it was just a
way to go out and be able to do private

00:29:00.075 --> 00:29:00.264
Jody: investigation

00:29:00.264 --> 00:29:00.414
Right.

00:29:01.029 --> 00:29:02.749
Gab: with other like-minded people.

00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:02.999
Jody: Right.

00:29:03.269 --> 00:29:03.599
Gab: You know?

00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:06.749
'cause it was hard to find groups
and public investigations just

00:29:06.749 --> 00:29:09.289
weren't doing it for us anymore.

00:29:09.614 --> 00:29:10.279
You know what I mean?

00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:10.751
Like, I,

00:29:11.278 --> 00:29:11.439
Jody: well,

00:29:11.439 --> 00:29:14.423
the thing is too is with public
investigations, like, I hate to say it,

00:29:15.029 --> 00:29:15.982
Gab: There's too many variables

00:29:16.070 --> 00:29:17.584
Jody: There's Way too many variables.

00:29:17.644 --> 00:29:20.074
And when you have people that want
to go in and they want to, you

00:29:20.074 --> 00:29:23.464
know, they offer like an Estes
session to never done it before.

00:29:23.826 --> 00:29:24.076
Gab: Right.

00:29:24.191 --> 00:29:26.411
Jody: I hate to say it, but you
kind of have to practice at it.

00:29:27.121 --> 00:29:30.691
You know, like, you have to, you have
to be able to get yourself into that

00:29:31.111 --> 00:29:32.740
mindset, into that hypnotic state.

00:29:33.321 --> 00:29:36.671
And the more you do it, the easier
it is to get into that state, that

00:29:36.671 --> 00:29:38.501
half awake, half asleep sort of,

00:29:38.606 --> 00:29:38.726
Gab: Yeah.

00:29:38.801 --> 00:29:39.194
Jody: State.

00:29:39.594 --> 00:29:42.301
And that's where you start to hear
things in between the stations.

00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:44.154
When you go with, a
local group or whatever.

00:29:44.154 --> 00:29:44.394
Right.

00:29:44.726 --> 00:29:46.974
A lot of these people, when
they do an esta session, they're

00:29:46.974 --> 00:29:47.964
doing it for the first time.

00:29:48.464 --> 00:29:53.048
So, I mean, don't expect much because
you know, it's all new to them.

00:29:53.298 --> 00:29:55.148
They're repeating everything
they hear and you know,

00:29:55.857 --> 00:29:55.908
Gab: hard to

00:29:55.918 --> 00:29:56.928
Jody: Which you're supposed to do, but

00:29:56.947 --> 00:29:58.143
Gab: it's hard to grow in that

00:29:58.143 --> 00:29:58.623
space.

00:29:58.703 --> 00:29:59.053
Jody: It is yeah.

00:29:59.498 --> 00:30:00.038
It is.

00:30:00.282 --> 00:30:02.682
Gab: And being able to do a
private investigation lets you

00:30:02.682 --> 00:30:04.482
curate your experience more.

00:30:04.527 --> 00:30:04.767
Jody: Yeah.

00:30:04.947 --> 00:30:05.087
Gab: Based on your

00:30:05.087 --> 00:30:06.147
Jody: You could have a plan.

00:30:06.294 --> 00:30:06.477
Yeah.

00:30:06.487 --> 00:30:07.457
Gab: experience level.

00:30:08.178 --> 00:30:10.262
And understanding of the field,

00:30:10.307 --> 00:30:12.114
Jody: Don't get me wrong,
public investigations are fine.

00:30:12.114 --> 00:30:12.774
We still do them.

00:30:12.888 --> 00:30:13.168
Gab: Yeah.

00:30:13.318 --> 00:30:13.804
They're fun.

00:30:13.854 --> 00:30:16.464
Jody: Because we like to get in a
location that you can't get to privately.

00:30:17.313 --> 00:30:18.680
There's a lot of options, right?

00:30:18.685 --> 00:30:18.765
Yeah.

00:30:18.890 --> 00:30:21.460
So it's neat to get in
there and it's fun and you

00:30:21.460 --> 00:30:22.000
know, sometimes

00:30:22.140 --> 00:30:24.780
Gab: We have a great local team
that offers them, so why not?

00:30:24.945 --> 00:30:25.165
Jody: Yep.

00:30:25.461 --> 00:30:26.511
It's affordable too.

00:30:26.736 --> 00:30:26.976
Gab: Right?

00:30:27.113 --> 00:30:29.610
Jody: You know, because private
investigations are gonna cost you

00:30:29.610 --> 00:30:32.920
roughly, roughly twice of what
it is for a public investigation.

00:30:32.930 --> 00:30:33.300
Gab: Right.

00:30:33.657 --> 00:30:34.115
At least.

00:30:34.180 --> 00:30:36.560
Jody: And the downside of that
is you're gonna have a lot more

00:30:36.560 --> 00:30:38.387
people than in the private
investigation, right.

00:30:38.387 --> 00:30:41.417
So there's, there's, if you're in
a building and it's a fairly small

00:30:41.417 --> 00:30:43.812
building and you're splitting up
floors, you're splitting up rooms,

00:30:44.282 --> 00:30:44.672
Gab: Yeah.

00:30:45.172 --> 00:30:47.482
Jody: Um, there's a lot
of noise contamination.

00:30:47.898 --> 00:30:48.277
Gab: Yeah.

00:30:48.829 --> 00:30:51.287
Jody: So, well, like for us,
that's not a problem really.

00:30:51.287 --> 00:30:53.597
'cause we could tell, we
know when there's, you know,

00:30:53.968 --> 00:30:54.637
We have it down.

00:30:54.637 --> 00:30:56.437
We know that there's gonna be
contamination, that there's

00:30:56.437 --> 00:30:57.934
gonna be people talking nearby.

00:30:58.572 --> 00:31:00.342
Gab: And we're not always
chasing the evidence.

00:31:00.342 --> 00:31:02.972
You're more like, you
just want the experience.

00:31:03.197 --> 00:31:04.097
Jody: Chase the experience.

00:31:04.097 --> 00:31:05.027
The evidence comes later.

00:31:05.027 --> 00:31:05.219
Yeah.

00:31:05.282 --> 00:31:05.557
Gab: Yeah.

00:31:06.070 --> 00:31:06.242
Jody: Yeah.

00:31:06.242 --> 00:31:09.385
I feel like we've recently gotten
away from chasing evidence.

00:31:09.580 --> 00:31:09.940
Gab: Yeah.

00:31:10.300 --> 00:31:11.170
Jody: I shouldn't say that.

00:31:11.378 --> 00:31:12.367
Gab: It's not the focus.

00:31:12.420 --> 00:31:13.290
Jody: It's not the focus.

00:31:13.290 --> 00:31:13.476
Right.

00:31:13.666 --> 00:31:16.636
We're spending more time sitting
in a room quietly and observing,

00:31:16.819 --> 00:31:17.136
now.

00:31:17.296 --> 00:31:17.596
Gab: Yeah.

00:31:17.701 --> 00:31:18.316
Jody: I've noticed.

00:31:18.316 --> 00:31:20.346
And I mean, that's just,

00:31:20.846 --> 00:31:23.936
I love being in an, an old historical
building at night and sitting in the

00:31:23.936 --> 00:31:25.673
dark, completely quiet and just observing.

00:31:25.877 --> 00:31:26.087
It's

00:31:26.087 --> 00:31:26.867
almost relaxing.

00:31:26.867 --> 00:31:28.722
And then if something does
happen, then that's great.

00:31:29.027 --> 00:31:29.372
Gab: Yeah.

00:31:29.462 --> 00:31:34.042
It's like you're participating in
history in like such unique way

00:31:34.542 --> 00:31:36.132
That other people don't experience.

00:31:36.177 --> 00:31:36.357
Jody: Right.

00:31:36.857 --> 00:31:37.577
Gab: It's interesting.

00:31:38.125 --> 00:31:39.247
Jody: So what about our tool sets?

00:31:39.747 --> 00:31:40.587
Gab: I know you wanna make.

00:31:40.917 --> 00:31:41.807
Jody: Oh that's a good point.

00:31:41.837 --> 00:31:42.177
Yeah.

00:31:42.647 --> 00:31:42.887
Yeah.

00:31:42.887 --> 00:31:43.227
Gab: Is that what you mean?

00:31:43.237 --> 00:31:46.439
Jody: My, um, no, it's not
what I meant, but, wow.

00:31:46.439 --> 00:31:49.609
When you get into this
stuff, um, things get weird.

00:31:50.029 --> 00:31:53.359
So I have, I have dreams all the
time about build this and build

00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:56.194
that, and I should say that I work
problems out in my dreams, right?

00:31:56.866 --> 00:32:00.374
So if it's something on my mind,
it's probably me trying to come

00:32:00.374 --> 00:32:01.664
up with this stuff in my brain.

00:32:01.949 --> 00:32:02.339
Gab: Yeah.

00:32:02.699 --> 00:32:06.359
Jody: But I, I'll get the weird dreams
where, you know, something tells me

00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:09.829
to build something and I've written it
in my journal and I've drawn a sketch

00:32:09.829 --> 00:32:13.339
of it, you know, like I have an idea
of what I'm supposed to build visually

00:32:13.339 --> 00:32:15.229
that I've seen in my, you know, my sleep

00:32:15.327 --> 00:32:17.237
. But I'm not an engineer either.

00:32:18.007 --> 00:32:18.427
Gab: yeah.

00:32:18.927 --> 00:32:20.729
Jody: I mean, I am, I'm a
different kind of engineer.

00:32:20.912 --> 00:32:21.932
I'm a software developer,

00:32:22.302 --> 00:32:25.926
. Gab: plus it's hard to take the, to
find the time to do things like that.

00:32:25.947 --> 00:32:26.667
Jody: It really is.

00:32:26.667 --> 00:32:28.617
I still haven't built
my Lego Game Boy set.

00:32:29.117 --> 00:32:30.317
I've had that since October.

00:32:30.332 --> 00:32:30.662
Gab: Yeah.

00:32:31.114 --> 00:32:32.794
So what did you mean
when you said tool sets?

00:32:33.294 --> 00:32:35.464
Jody: Um, let me answer
your question first.

00:32:35.514 --> 00:32:37.734
I am looking to build a box.

00:32:37.824 --> 00:32:39.294
I am going to start tinkering.

00:32:39.794 --> 00:32:40.034
Gab: Yeah.

00:32:40.055 --> 00:32:41.009
Jody: I can't solder.

00:32:41.909 --> 00:32:43.589
I mean, I'm sure I could
probably teach myself.

00:32:43.589 --> 00:32:45.262
It's not, I don't think it's that hard.

00:32:45.434 --> 00:32:45.824
Gab: Right.

00:32:46.324 --> 00:32:48.289
I could solder, so I
know it's not that hard.

00:32:48.304 --> 00:32:49.534
Jody: You did it once with your dad.

00:32:50.567 --> 00:32:51.987
Gab: No, I've made stuff.

00:32:52.037 --> 00:32:52.667
Jody: Oh have you really?

00:32:52.707 --> 00:32:53.025
Gab: Yeah.

00:32:53.580 --> 00:32:54.442
I've soldered things.

00:32:54.552 --> 00:32:54.672
Jody: I did not know that.

00:32:54.847 --> 00:32:55.927
I'm learning something today.

00:32:56.427 --> 00:32:56.697
Gab: Yeah.

00:32:57.197 --> 00:32:59.527
Plus I took an electrical Class.

00:33:00.407 --> 00:33:01.502
Like electric shop.

00:33:01.502 --> 00:33:04.112
It was called, like when we
were in middle school, we had to

00:33:04.112 --> 00:33:06.392
take electric shop, wood shop,

00:33:06.892 --> 00:33:07.072
Jody: yeah.

00:33:07.102 --> 00:33:08.388
'cause you got all the cool classes

00:33:08.388 --> 00:33:08.418
Gab: and

00:33:08.418 --> 00:33:08.568
Jody: you went

00:33:08.628 --> 00:33:09.038
Gab: and computer shop

00:33:09.668 --> 00:33:09.788
Jody: probably

00:33:09.788 --> 00:33:09.868
Gab: I think

00:33:10.108 --> 00:33:10.188
Jody: yeah.

00:33:10.188 --> 00:33:11.068
Gab: There was three.

00:33:11.068 --> 00:33:11.248
Jody: Wood shop?

00:33:11.248 --> 00:33:13.794
Electric and like Home Ec
or something like that.

00:33:13.794 --> 00:33:14.242
Gab: Computer.

00:33:14.973 --> 00:33:16.009
I think it was, Yeah.

00:33:16.544 --> 00:33:19.394
So part of electric Shop was,
he was teaching you things like

00:33:19.394 --> 00:33:19.784
that.

00:33:19.784 --> 00:33:20.054
That's cool.

00:33:20.414 --> 00:33:20.684
Yeah.

00:33:20.744 --> 00:33:25.384
And we had like little thing where we
would like hammer in like metal rivets.

00:33:25.864 --> 00:33:27.874
Um, we learned how to solder.

00:33:27.874 --> 00:33:29.584
We learned like a few things.

00:33:30.084 --> 00:33:30.244
Yeah.

00:33:30.304 --> 00:33:32.194
I've soldered things not much as an adult.

00:33:32.194 --> 00:33:33.204
Like once or twice

00:33:33.764 --> 00:33:34.124
Jody: Oh, wow.

00:33:34.134 --> 00:33:36.604
Yeah I went to Catholic school, so

00:33:36.964 --> 00:33:38.149
I, I didn't get any of that.

00:33:38.556 --> 00:33:40.463
Gab: Also, I have a sister.

00:33:40.463 --> 00:33:41.633
It's just me and my sister.

00:33:41.633 --> 00:33:43.613
So like, you know, we were

00:33:43.613 --> 00:33:45.433
like girl sons.

00:33:45.523 --> 00:33:45.613
Jody: Mm-hmm.

00:33:45.703 --> 00:33:46.543
Gab: For our dad.

00:33:46.543 --> 00:33:49.990
Nobody has more faith in their
daughter than  a dad without sons.

00:33:50.456 --> 00:33:54.120
So we learned quite a
few tricks along the way.

00:33:54.345 --> 00:33:55.965
Jody: Oh, he didn't teach you
how to shovel snow, I guess.

00:33:55.965 --> 00:33:56.145
Huh?

00:33:56.726 --> 00:33:57.211
Gab: He didn't.

00:33:57.211 --> 00:33:58.761
He shoveled for us.

00:33:58.806 --> 00:33:59.136
Okay.

00:33:59.636 --> 00:34:00.626
Unlike some people.

00:34:00.626 --> 00:34:00.956
No.

00:34:01.506 --> 00:34:02.026
Jody: Like who?

00:34:02.491 --> 00:34:03.961
Gab: He used to clean off my car.

00:34:04.096 --> 00:34:04.696
Jody: Oh, come on.

00:34:04.816 --> 00:34:05.716
I clean off your car.

00:34:06.216 --> 00:34:08.106
I do that for You I do.

00:34:08.106 --> 00:34:10.536
We all five cars, I clean off.

00:34:11.036 --> 00:34:11.511
My God.

00:34:12.028 --> 00:34:12.191
Yeah.

00:34:12.191 --> 00:34:13.241
So I'm, I'm tinkering.

00:34:13.241 --> 00:34:16.651
I have, I have a little kit
box and I have some ideas.

00:34:16.651 --> 00:34:16.711
Gab: Yeah.

00:34:16.981 --> 00:34:20.010
Jody: To build an Estes
box,  you know, just tinkering.

00:34:21.491 --> 00:34:24.247
reading and listening and
watching YouTube videos and

00:34:24.777 --> 00:34:25.017
Gab: Yeah.

00:34:25.568 --> 00:34:28.657
Jody: Putting stuff together and
saying, oh, this is how I can build

00:34:28.657 --> 00:34:31.839
it . I think I could do that in
a way that requires no soldering.

00:34:32.214 --> 00:34:32.574
Gab: Right.

00:34:33.074 --> 00:34:35.324
Jody: And I just haven't
put it together yet.

00:34:35.434 --> 00:34:35.724
Gab: Yeah.

00:34:36.224 --> 00:34:39.464
Jody: Then the other part is figuring
out why it's different from, you know,

00:34:39.464 --> 00:34:41.504
just a, a spirit box in headphones.

00:34:41.504 --> 00:34:44.584
Why this box needs to
be built a certain way.

00:34:45.084 --> 00:34:48.084
You know, why is that, why is
that little bit of a difference?

00:34:48.124 --> 00:34:49.864
What is causing it to be more effective?

00:34:50.601 --> 00:34:50.924
You know?

00:34:51.179 --> 00:34:51.479
Gab: Yeah.

00:34:51.729 --> 00:34:52.899
Jody: But back to tool sets.

00:34:53.896 --> 00:34:56.062
So what do we use when
we go on investigations?

00:34:56.559 --> 00:34:57.354
Gab: Oh, okay.

00:34:57.597 --> 00:34:58.657
Like literal tools,

00:34:58.952 --> 00:34:59.312
Jody: Standard tools.

00:34:59.312 --> 00:34:59.552
Yeah.

00:34:59.737 --> 00:35:03.327
Gab: Um, the recorders,
the audio recorders.

00:35:03.827 --> 00:35:04.457
Um.

00:35:04.957 --> 00:35:05.917
The cat balls.

00:35:05.917 --> 00:35:06.877
I hate calling them that.

00:35:07.334 --> 00:35:12.177
The motion activated, um, balls
that we use that light up,

00:35:12.677 --> 00:35:13.787
Jody: Which some people hate.

00:35:14.027 --> 00:35:14.447
Gab: Yeah.

00:35:14.484 --> 00:35:14.777
Jody: Yeah.

00:35:14.777 --> 00:35:15.827
We're finding that out now.

00:35:15.827 --> 00:35:15.887
Yeah.

00:35:15.887 --> 00:35:16.337
'cause Of

00:35:16.337 --> 00:35:18.947
uh, something about the electronics,
the way they're built and the filament

00:35:18.997 --> 00:35:19.447
Gab: yeah.

00:35:19.567 --> 00:35:21.684
They're sensitive to  heat and cold.

00:35:22.184 --> 00:35:22.874
Jody: Well differences.

00:35:22.874 --> 00:35:23.084
Right.

00:35:23.084 --> 00:35:23.804
In temperature.

00:35:23.809 --> 00:35:24.049
Yeah.

00:35:24.069 --> 00:35:24.794
Is what Yeah.

00:35:24.944 --> 00:35:26.144
Gab: Extreme heat or cold?

00:35:26.144 --> 00:35:26.864
Well, no, yeah.

00:35:27.254 --> 00:35:28.064
Fluctuation.

00:35:28.294 --> 00:35:28.515
Jody: Yeah.

00:35:28.783 --> 00:35:31.033
Gab: Uh, we use the spirit box.

00:35:31.983 --> 00:35:36.863
Not really a K2 meter very much,
just 'cause I don't, I don't know.

00:35:36.863 --> 00:35:41.203
Those are things that I've never really
put much into K2 meters, REM pods.

00:35:41.713 --> 00:35:46.103
I've never really seen them
produce  positive results.

00:35:46.538 --> 00:35:49.658
That are definitive that you
could be like, that's definitely,

00:35:49.883 --> 00:35:50.303
Jody: well, one

00:35:50.303 --> 00:35:50.903
time for me.

00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:54.669
have to, you know, I'd have to
question it at our son in investigation

00:35:54.759 --> 00:35:58.979
again, I can't prove that, you
know,  anything specifically was

00:35:59.199 --> 00:35:59.619
Gab: Right.

00:35:59.859 --> 00:36:01.209
Jody: You know, was or was
not interacting with it.

00:36:01.722 --> 00:36:02.639
I mean, that's the thing though, right?

00:36:02.699 --> 00:36:03.509
Everybody wants proof.

00:36:03.509 --> 00:36:05.279
They want like, oh,
you gotta get on video.

00:36:05.279 --> 00:36:05.789
That's proof.

00:36:05.819 --> 00:36:05.939
You

00:36:05.939 --> 00:36:06.449
know, like if

00:36:06.454 --> 00:36:06.744
Gab: yeah.

00:36:07.244 --> 00:36:09.974
Jody: Entity walks up to it and
grabs it and you catch that on,

00:36:09.979 --> 00:36:13.304
on, on video, you know, or shadow
or something, then you know, and

00:36:13.304 --> 00:36:14.804
even that's not definitive proof,

00:36:14.894 --> 00:36:14.954
Gab: No.

00:36:14.954 --> 00:36:15.487
you know what I mean?

00:36:15.989 --> 00:36:18.849
Jody: Again, reframing my whole
perspective on these things,  you know

00:36:19.349 --> 00:36:21.262
what's considered definitive proof?

00:36:21.602 --> 00:36:22.003
Gab: Yeah.

00:36:22.541 --> 00:36:24.236
We use the thermal camera now.

00:36:24.736 --> 00:36:25.049
Jody: Mm-hmm.

00:36:25.330 --> 00:36:28.196
Gab: Motion lights we started using.

00:36:28.269 --> 00:36:28.539
Jody: Yep.

00:36:29.041 --> 00:36:30.472
Gab: A couple months ago What else?

00:36:31.696 --> 00:36:32.822
tarot cards, We started using

00:36:32.867 --> 00:36:33.632
Jody: Tarot cards, yeah.

00:36:34.237 --> 00:36:35.437
You started doing pulls?

00:36:36.217 --> 00:36:36.457
Yep.

00:36:36.957 --> 00:36:37.647
Gab: The light grid.

00:36:38.147 --> 00:36:38.357
Jody: Yeah.

00:36:38.357 --> 00:36:39.137
I don't know about that one.

00:36:39.637 --> 00:36:40.657
Gab: I don't know either.

00:36:40.717 --> 00:36:42.367
Jody: It's an extra piece
of equipment to be carrying

00:36:42.487 --> 00:36:42.847
Gab: Yeah.

00:36:42.847 --> 00:36:44.947
It doesn't always last.

00:36:44.947 --> 00:36:45.697
Like I feel like,

00:36:45.712 --> 00:36:46.492
Jody: oh, it dies quick.

00:36:46.622 --> 00:36:48.982
Gab: It die very quick, very quickly.

00:36:49.482 --> 00:36:51.972
Jody: Plus, I mean, the way light
works too, the way I think about it

00:36:51.972 --> 00:36:55.422
is like something physical has to stop
the light from passing through it.

00:36:55.782 --> 00:36:59.402
And if spirits don't have a physical body

00:36:59.402 --> 00:37:01.767
then, why does that make sense?

00:37:02.007 --> 00:37:02.157
Gab: Right.

00:37:02.337 --> 00:37:02.607
Jody: You know?

00:37:02.607 --> 00:37:02.667
Yeah.

00:37:03.147 --> 00:37:03.327
Gab: Yeah.

00:37:03.827 --> 00:37:03.977
Jody: What

00:37:03.977 --> 00:37:04.457
else do we do?

00:37:04.957 --> 00:37:05.527
Oh, the Estes.

00:37:06.027 --> 00:37:06.297
Gab: Yeah.

00:37:06.297 --> 00:37:07.017
That's not really a

00:37:07.137 --> 00:37:07.587
tool.

00:37:07.587 --> 00:37:07.652
It's

00:37:07.707 --> 00:37:08.817
Jody: a combination of tools

00:37:09.068 --> 00:37:09.217
Gab: Yeah.

00:37:09.717 --> 00:37:11.612
Jody: A method of investigating.

00:37:12.122 --> 00:37:13.222
Which we always call what?

00:37:13.432 --> 00:37:16.092
Uh, electronics assisted

00:37:16.342 --> 00:37:17.782
Gab: Electronic medium ship.

00:37:17.797 --> 00:37:18.097
Jody: Yeah.

00:37:18.097 --> 00:37:18.907
Electronic mediumship.

00:37:19.407 --> 00:37:19.767
Gab: Yeah.

00:37:19.977 --> 00:37:21.807
Very big on spiritualism.

00:37:22.260 --> 00:37:23.670
The ones who started it all.

00:37:24.125 --> 00:37:27.720
I feel like there's so
much to take from there.

00:37:27.915 --> 00:37:28.215
Jody: Yeah.

00:37:28.722 --> 00:37:30.155
Gab: And learn and grow on.

00:37:30.655 --> 00:37:34.615
And I just feel like people are so focused
on what people are doing now that they

00:37:34.615 --> 00:37:36.655
don't look back to how this started.

00:37:37.045 --> 00:37:41.415
I mean, I'm not saying like, let's
grab some cheesecloth and um,

00:37:41.445 --> 00:37:43.035
stick it places it doesn't belong.

00:37:43.535 --> 00:37:43.985
But

00:37:44.405 --> 00:37:47.705
I'm saying like, you know,
like they did have, and I mean,

00:37:47.705 --> 00:37:50.575
most of it was kind of faked.

00:37:50.785 --> 00:37:51.085
Jody: Yeah.

00:37:51.145 --> 00:37:56.405
Gab: But they still had some
interesting  thoughts, you know, that

00:37:56.405 --> 00:37:58.584
I still feel like we can use today.

00:37:59.895 --> 00:38:01.635
If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

00:38:02.147 --> 00:38:03.125
You know, like kind

00:38:03.180 --> 00:38:04.535
Jody: improve it, make it better.

00:38:05.195 --> 00:38:05.375
Yeah.

00:38:05.375 --> 00:38:07.062
Use the tools you have today.

00:38:07.235 --> 00:38:07.865
Gab: Yeah.

00:38:07.895 --> 00:38:12.625
Like go back to how they did it and
how can we improve on that today.

00:38:12.925 --> 00:38:13.566
And do it.

00:38:14.134 --> 00:38:16.484
Ethically, not in a way
where you're, you know,

00:38:16.970 --> 00:38:18.104
Jody: Taking advantage of people.

00:38:18.444 --> 00:38:20.094
Gab: Right and creating your own haunting

00:38:20.244 --> 00:38:20.324
Jody: yeah.

00:38:20.939 --> 00:38:21.299
Gab: Yeah.

00:38:21.799 --> 00:38:26.929
So with all the new things
we've done and the places

00:38:26.929 --> 00:38:34.851
we've taken things, do you think that you
have any type of, like, psychic abilities?

00:38:35.101 --> 00:38:36.001
Jody: Uh, no.

00:38:36.301 --> 00:38:36.751
Still No.

00:38:37.531 --> 00:38:42.821
I think the way I want to answer that
is, I wanna say definitively no, but I,

00:38:42.821 --> 00:38:45.521
think  the human mind is a weird thing.

00:38:46.010 --> 00:38:46.456
Gab: Mm-hmm.

00:38:46.832 --> 00:38:50.272
Jody: I mean, there's studies going
on now where they're studying human

00:38:50.272 --> 00:38:53.482
brains and they're putting monitors
on and they're finding out that

00:38:53.722 --> 00:38:56.947
your brain is active, milliseconds
before you receive a question.

00:38:57.974 --> 00:39:01.184
like anticipating what the question's
gonna be, what your answer's gonna be

00:39:01.184 --> 00:39:03.484
before  the question is even asked.

00:39:03.589 --> 00:39:03.889
Gab: Right.

00:39:04.389 --> 00:39:07.299
Jody: And I dunno how I feel about
that, because that seems like.

00:39:07.799 --> 00:39:09.539
That seems like we're
living inside a computer.

00:39:09.539 --> 00:39:10.109
You know what I mean?

00:39:10.109 --> 00:39:10.199
Right.

00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:10.574
Like it's it's a

00:39:10.589 --> 00:39:11.309
simulation.

00:39:11.715 --> 00:39:12.555
and that's scary.

00:39:12.815 --> 00:39:16.955
Or, you know, our brains are, are
quantum computers and there's more

00:39:16.955 --> 00:39:18.545
to them than just the physical body.

00:39:18.545 --> 00:39:20.405
Is there something happening
outside of the body?

00:39:20.655 --> 00:39:21.015
Gab: Right.

00:39:21.515 --> 00:39:24.865
It makes me think of mushrooms
and how they have the, like,

00:39:25.255 --> 00:39:26.875
um, what are they called?

00:39:27.725 --> 00:39:27.965
Jody: I don't know

00:39:27.995 --> 00:39:28.645
Gab: The-parts that like

00:39:28.685 --> 00:39:29.335
Jody: Where ya going with this.

00:39:29.365 --> 00:39:29.975
Gab: They're like roots.

00:39:30.005 --> 00:39:30.765
Jody: Oh, mycelium.

00:39:31.655 --> 00:39:31.685
Gab: Yes.

00:39:31.685 --> 00:39:32.775
I didn't think that was the word.

00:39:32.805 --> 00:39:33.700
It coming my head.

00:39:33.910 --> 00:39:34.620
Jody: No it's, it's mycelium.

00:39:34.785 --> 00:39:36.585
Gab: Um, but I was like,
that doesn't sound right.

00:39:36.630 --> 00:39:36.750
Jody: Yeah.

00:39:36.750 --> 00:39:38.010
The mushroom is just the fruit.

00:39:38.514 --> 00:39:41.750
The, the brains of the operation are, is
everything that's growing underground.

00:39:41.750 --> 00:39:42.710
It's all interconnected.

00:39:42.710 --> 00:39:45.290
And, and now trees, they're
finding trees communicate using

00:39:45.290 --> 00:39:46.610
mycelium from tree to tree.

00:39:47.110 --> 00:39:50.580
There's like this network
of of fungus underground.

00:39:50.671 --> 00:39:50.745
Gab: Yeah.

00:39:50.750 --> 00:39:51.030
Right.

00:39:51.135 --> 00:39:55.195
And it's like, do our
brains use electric waves?

00:39:55.435 --> 00:39:57.145
Electricity frequencies?

00:39:57.415 --> 00:39:59.905
Like  mushrooms use mycelium.

00:40:00.405 --> 00:40:00.615
Jody: Yeah.

00:40:00.615 --> 00:40:02.745
And again, the mycelium is
like a physical thing, right?

00:40:02.913 --> 00:40:03.050
Gab: Right.

00:40:03.085 --> 00:40:04.375
Jody: The, mushroom's just the fruit.

00:40:04.375 --> 00:40:08.885
But it's, it, the idea is that  you see
the mushroom, you don't see the network.

00:40:09.169 --> 00:40:12.049
That it's, you know, that it's coming
from, there's a whole forest of

00:40:12.424 --> 00:40:12.904
Gab: Right.

00:40:13.404 --> 00:40:16.164
Jody: fungus underground
that's creating all this.

00:40:16.164 --> 00:40:17.109
Gab: And is that our brains work?

00:40:17.609 --> 00:40:19.444
Like we don't see where it's coming from

00:40:19.484 --> 00:40:20.624
Jody: without a physical,

00:40:21.644 --> 00:40:23.774
Without a physical, you
know, hidden connection.

00:40:23.774 --> 00:40:24.104
You know what I

00:40:24.104 --> 00:40:24.224
mean?

00:40:24.224 --> 00:40:24.314
Right.

00:40:24.314 --> 00:40:24.854
Like something

00:40:24.854 --> 00:40:25.334
that's

00:40:25.709 --> 00:40:29.302
Gab: like, are we all connected to
something,  which I feel like goes

00:40:29.302 --> 00:40:30.982
back to the research that we're doing.

00:40:31.482 --> 00:40:31.962
Right.

00:40:32.022 --> 00:40:32.262
Is

00:40:32.307 --> 00:40:32.457
Jody: Is there

00:40:33.012 --> 00:40:36.402
Gab: that we're all connected
to that we can tap into?

00:40:36.902 --> 00:40:38.107
To do this work?

00:40:38.357 --> 00:40:43.160
Something, you know, more divine
that we can tap into that we've all

00:40:43.160 --> 00:40:45.410
lost an ability to connect with.

00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:48.280
Jody: Well, as long as you're
not talking about becoming born

00:40:48.280 --> 00:40:50.250
again and drinking Kool-Aid.

00:40:50.750 --> 00:40:50.900
No.

00:40:50.900 --> 00:40:51.440
Oh my God.

00:40:51.940 --> 00:40:52.810
That's a joke.

00:40:54.185 --> 00:40:54.820
Gab: That's a joke.

00:40:55.320 --> 00:40:57.870
Jody: There's a local team here
that we think has become born again

00:40:57.870 --> 00:40:59.849
and they have flipped their shit.

00:41:00.372 --> 00:41:02.810
And I do not like talking shit on anybody.

00:41:02.810 --> 00:41:06.560
But these guys are not good
for this community at all.

00:41:06.699 --> 00:41:07.237
Gab: No.

00:41:07.484 --> 00:41:09.764
Jody: and it's not the same local
team we always give praise to.

00:41:10.264 --> 00:41:11.799
Gab: No, it's definitely not.

00:41:12.599 --> 00:41:17.409
just feel, like I, again, it
comes back to that initiation.

00:41:17.919 --> 00:41:22.704
You know, that I guess we accepted and and

00:41:22.809 --> 00:41:25.049
Jody: We are still, well, we
we completed the initiation.

00:41:26.324 --> 00:41:27.469
Gab: Now we're in the next phase

00:41:27.765 --> 00:41:28.604
Jody: Now we're in the next phase.

00:41:28.689 --> 00:41:29.169
Exactly.

00:41:29.469 --> 00:41:30.454
Gab: Or even the phase-after-that

00:41:30.875 --> 00:41:31.055
Jody: And

00:41:31.055 --> 00:41:31.655
what is that?

00:41:31.655 --> 00:41:31.715
Um,

00:41:32.169 --> 00:41:33.390
Gab: you know, I mean, I don't know.

00:41:33.420 --> 00:41:37.698
'cause it's really hard for me to
read, read a book like a physical book.

00:41:38.270 --> 00:41:38.360
Jody: I know,

00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:39.710
Gab: i'm more of an audio book girl.

00:41:40.228 --> 00:41:44.290
And there's two books that I really
wanna read that I can only read books of.

00:41:44.794 --> 00:41:48.061
and one of them is the
archetype of initiation, so

00:41:48.651 --> 00:41:53.591
it's hard, and that's another thing that
I've gotten into recently is archetypes

00:41:53.591 --> 00:41:55.481
and how they connect to different things.

00:41:55.731 --> 00:42:01.891
Like, almost like semiotics, which goes
back to our investigation at the Pike

00:42:01.901 --> 00:42:02.231
Jody: County

00:42:02.381 --> 00:42:03.391
Gab: historical society

00:42:03.391 --> 00:42:04.061
Jody: What's the difference?

00:42:04.721 --> 00:42:06.911
Archetypes are something
that's, that's primal, right?

00:42:07.121 --> 00:42:08.141
It's in our brains.

00:42:08.141 --> 00:42:08.951
It's built into

00:42:08.951 --> 00:42:10.211
us, right.

00:42:10.541 --> 00:42:11.441
We're born with it.

00:42:11.711 --> 00:42:11.921
Gab: Right.

00:42:11.921 --> 00:42:12.491
It's something that

00:42:12.491 --> 00:42:13.661
Jody: primal knowledge.

00:42:13.661 --> 00:42:13.931
Yeah.

00:42:13.991 --> 00:42:18.491
Gab: That has been already decided
for us generations before we've

00:42:18.491 --> 00:42:19.211
existed

00:42:19.241 --> 00:42:20.351
Jody: where it's in our wiring,

00:42:21.011 --> 00:42:21.251
Yeah.

00:42:21.756 --> 00:42:24.781
So like the big ones, like, you
know, like what an angel and a demon.

00:42:24.781 --> 00:42:26.761
Those are two big archetypes, right?

00:42:26.766 --> 00:42:26.856
Gab: Mm-hmm.

00:42:27.763 --> 00:42:29.413
Jody: I can't believe I
use that as an example.

00:42:29.923 --> 00:42:33.528
I brought, yeah, that's my Catholic
school upbringing, but I mean,

00:42:33.528 --> 00:42:34.788
really that's what it is, right?

00:42:34.788 --> 00:42:34.848
Gab: Yeah.

00:42:35.348 --> 00:42:38.025
Jody: And then even with our,
forest shadow, you have the

00:42:38.025 --> 00:42:40.955
archetype of, the green man or

00:42:41.056 --> 00:42:41.405
Gab: Right,

00:42:42.029 --> 00:42:44.721
Jody: if want to go above that,
you go to something like Pan.

00:42:45.221 --> 00:42:45.461
Gab: Yeah.

00:42:45.521 --> 00:42:46.961
Jody: You know, which is like a horn.

00:42:46.961 --> 00:42:48.604
God, that's another archetype,

00:42:48.604 --> 00:42:48.904
you know?

00:42:48.994 --> 00:42:49.354
Gab: Right.

00:42:49.854 --> 00:42:50.689
Watch her in the woods,

00:42:51.029 --> 00:42:53.394
the forest guardian, the

00:42:53.394 --> 00:42:53.844
Yeah.

00:42:54.344 --> 00:42:56.564
Somebody who watches
over the liminal space

00:42:57.044 --> 00:42:59.684
Jody: And then semiotics,
that looks at symbolism and

00:42:59.984 --> 00:43:00.434
Gab: Right.

00:43:00.764 --> 00:43:02.937
Why we assign these meanings to things.

00:43:03.417 --> 00:43:03.747
Jody: Yeah.

00:43:03.900 --> 00:43:05.520
Through signs or, or

00:43:06.013 --> 00:43:06.373
Gab: yeah.

00:43:06.873 --> 00:43:07.323
symbols.

00:43:07.588 --> 00:43:08.158
Jody: Images and symbols.

00:43:08.158 --> 00:43:08.408
Yeah.

00:43:08.596 --> 00:43:08.798
Gab: Yeah.

00:43:09.298 --> 00:43:13.728
And that's why we bring up semiotics,
because at Pike County Historical

00:43:13.728 --> 00:43:15.645
Society, they have an exhibit.

00:43:15.673 --> 00:43:17.103
Jody: It's almost like
a universal language.

00:43:17.183 --> 00:43:17.383
Gab: Right.

00:43:17.383 --> 00:43:20.523
Jody: You don't You don't
have to speak the, I get it

00:43:20.533 --> 00:43:20.563
Gab: Right.

00:43:20.563 --> 00:43:21.383
You use a sign and a symbol.

00:43:21.585 --> 00:43:24.635
And that's kind of, we bring
that up because Charles

00:43:24.955 --> 00:43:27.095
Pierce, his works are there.

00:43:27.095 --> 00:43:30.725
Charles and his wife juliet,
they have an exhibit at the Pike

00:43:30.725 --> 00:43:34.905
County Historical Society, and
that's kind of his work pragmatism

00:43:34.955 --> 00:43:35.215
Jody: They have

00:43:35.215 --> 00:43:35.955
Gab: and semiotics

00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:37.340
Jody: a bookcase that you can't get into.

00:43:37.505 --> 00:43:37.955
Gab: Right.

00:43:37.955 --> 00:43:39.485
Of his like original

00:43:39.725 --> 00:43:40.355
texts.

00:43:40.355 --> 00:43:43.255
It's really, his work is very interesting.

00:43:43.420 --> 00:43:44.440
Jody: Are his text mass produced?

00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:45.280
Like could you, could you

00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:46.260
get a get ahold of some?

00:43:46.565 --> 00:43:47.735
Gab: Yeah I found like audio books.

00:43:48.501 --> 00:43:48.525
Jody: okay.

00:43:48.525 --> 00:43:48.935
Yeah.

00:43:49.245 --> 00:43:49.575
Gab: Yeah.

00:43:49.655 --> 00:43:51.505
And I used like the library apps.

00:43:52.005 --> 00:43:54.176
And you could find his
works through there.

00:43:54.695 --> 00:43:57.275
Um, you can't always
find like an audio book.

00:43:57.515 --> 00:44:01.045
Some of them are just like
eBooks, but, they're interesting.

00:44:01.295 --> 00:44:02.915
And what else was I gonna relate that to?

00:44:03.665 --> 00:44:04.595
Oh, and the collective

00:44:04.595 --> 00:44:05.248
unconscious.

00:44:05.498 --> 00:44:08.888
How we all have like, preconceived
notions about things and how when

00:44:08.888 --> 00:44:13.058
you're working in this field with
spirits, how they can almost like

00:44:13.088 --> 00:44:15.345
pull from your unconscious mind.

00:44:15.845 --> 00:44:16.655
Jody: Can they push too?

00:44:17.120 --> 00:44:17.815
Gab: I'm sure they could,

00:44:18.875 --> 00:44:19.825
Jody: you know, it's a,

00:44:19.989 --> 00:44:20.785
know, it's a good question.

00:44:20.850 --> 00:44:25.110
Gab: They can pull from your unconscious
mind, like archetypes that you have and

00:44:25.110 --> 00:44:29.210
then push that information to help you
understand what they're trying to say.

00:44:29.435 --> 00:44:30.915
Jody: Oh, 'cause they
may not speak in your

00:44:30.915 --> 00:44:31.575
language, or, yeah.

00:44:31.885 --> 00:44:35.510
Gab: They might not speak in
your way of speaking, you know,

00:44:35.510 --> 00:44:36.740
but they might be able to give

00:44:36.740 --> 00:44:37.070
you

00:44:37.075 --> 00:44:37.985
Jody: speak in symbols,

00:44:37.985 --> 00:44:38.475
and signs

00:44:38.565 --> 00:44:42.988
Gab: Signs and symbols and phrases that
help you connect to something else.

00:44:43.735 --> 00:44:45.025
Jody: this is really where
we're going with this, huh?

00:44:45.610 --> 00:44:46.240
Gab: Yeah.

00:44:46.740 --> 00:44:47.160
Jody: Yeah.

00:44:47.410 --> 00:44:48.310
It makes sense.

00:44:48.445 --> 00:44:48.835
Gab: Yeah.

00:44:49.335 --> 00:44:53.958
And it all goes back to like,  are
we all connected, like even after

00:44:54.447 --> 00:44:58.862
you've passed away, like does that
mean, does your energy stay here?

00:44:58.862 --> 00:45:03.202
Are you still able to pull
from someone's energy?

00:45:03.832 --> 00:45:07.691
And use it, you know, are they
still able to connect  to yours?

00:45:08.191 --> 00:45:10.021
Jody: Why do people see the same entities?

00:45:10.522 --> 00:45:11.761
' Gab: cause you go to archetypes

00:45:11.870 --> 00:45:14.635
Jody: Like you have the
hat man and you have um,

00:45:15.135 --> 00:45:16.045
you know, bigfoot.

00:45:16.475 --> 00:45:16.865
Gab: Yeah.

00:45:17.165 --> 00:45:20.818
I mean, even seeing like
full body apparitions is new.

00:45:21.075 --> 00:45:23.238
We didn't always see a
full body apparition.

00:45:23.288 --> 00:45:25.958
You know, like we used to
see spirits differently.

00:45:26.531 --> 00:45:30.179
You know, you think of the ghost in
the sheet archetype, but that goes

00:45:30.179 --> 00:45:34.229
back to Victorian morning practices
and funeral practices when they

00:45:34.229 --> 00:45:35.939
would cover people in shrouds.

00:45:36.074 --> 00:45:36.284
Jody: Right.

00:45:36.369 --> 00:45:36.969
Gab: For burial.

00:45:37.489 --> 00:45:40.419
And that was what the ghost was
covered in, it was their burial shroud.

00:45:40.959 --> 00:45:45.069
That is what a sheet on a ghost
is is a Victorian burial shroud.

00:45:45.264 --> 00:45:46.524
Jody: Then the lanterns in the woods.

00:45:47.024 --> 00:45:48.374
Spook lights, whatever they call them.

00:45:48.374 --> 00:45:48.614
Right.

00:45:49.654 --> 00:45:53.324
And they thought that they were, they
were given these lights to find their way.

00:45:53.824 --> 00:45:54.124
Gab: Yeah.

00:45:54.289 --> 00:45:54.589
Jody: You know,

00:45:54.679 --> 00:45:55.399
to the afterlife

00:45:55.449 --> 00:45:55.719
Gab: yeah.

00:45:55.899 --> 00:45:57.759
There's so many beliefs around that.

00:45:58.259 --> 00:46:02.024
Different like practices for when
people got into the afterlife.

00:46:02.381 --> 00:46:06.841
But yeah, I mean, I feel like, you just
kind of, in a way,  have to go back again

00:46:07.127 --> 00:46:09.407
to spiritualism, to the Victorian times.

00:46:09.717 --> 00:46:11.842
I mean, you could go a lot further
than that too, if you want.

00:46:11.982 --> 00:46:12.096
So

00:46:12.147 --> 00:46:12.327
Jody: So you

00:46:12.327 --> 00:46:14.817
gotta get out of your box,
out of your little box.

00:46:15.376 --> 00:46:17.027
Gab: Right, right.

00:46:17.087 --> 00:46:21.347
Out of the preconceived notions that you
have because of the TV shows that you've

00:46:21.347 --> 00:46:23.567
watched and what they've taught you.

00:46:23.627 --> 00:46:25.007
It's so much bigger than that.

00:46:25.507 --> 00:46:27.007
Jody: Out of the frying pan into the fire.

00:46:27.783 --> 00:46:28.507
You know where that's from?

00:46:29.787 --> 00:46:31.317
Oh, I'm disappointed in you.

00:46:31.737 --> 00:46:32.511
Gab: I don't know.

00:46:32.645 --> 00:46:33.165
Jody: It's the Hobbit.

00:46:34.642 --> 00:46:35.832
Gab: It's really from the Hobbit

00:46:36.112 --> 00:46:36.842
Jody: Oh, he used it

00:46:36.852 --> 00:46:38.582
Gab: was he alive in the Victorian times?

00:46:38.912 --> 00:46:39.602
I'm joking.

00:46:41.749 --> 00:46:42.679
What other thoughts?

00:46:43.179 --> 00:46:44.559
Jody: So we're past the initiation.

00:46:45.069 --> 00:46:45.469
Gab: Yeah.

00:46:45.479 --> 00:46:46.279
Jody: What are we doing here?

00:46:46.889 --> 00:46:47.409
Gab: I don't know.

00:46:47.929 --> 00:46:49.415
I guess I gotta read that book.

00:46:49.889 --> 00:46:51.074
Jody: I feel like that's part of this.

00:46:51.074 --> 00:46:53.054
Why we're, I don't wanna
say we're in a funk, but

00:46:53.069 --> 00:46:53.359
I guess it's like

00:46:53.409 --> 00:46:54.089
Gab: It's like we're stalled

00:46:54.559 --> 00:46:55.189
Jody: We kind of are.

00:46:55.189 --> 00:46:55.399
Right?

00:46:55.399 --> 00:46:56.854
Like that's the mindset right now, right?

00:46:56.899 --> 00:46:56.959
Gab: Yeah.

00:46:56.959 --> 00:46:58.099
Jody: It feels like we're stalled.

00:46:58.623 --> 00:47:00.963
I feel like you can't just
wait for something to happen.

00:47:01.178 --> 00:47:01.868
There's something

00:47:02.008 --> 00:47:02.708
Gab: Yeah and that's what I feel like

00:47:02.708 --> 00:47:02.898
we're doing.

00:47:02.898 --> 00:47:03.188
Jody: Yeah.

00:47:03.188 --> 00:47:05.523
There's something we have
to do to push forward.

00:47:05.628 --> 00:47:05.986
Gab: Yeah.

00:47:06.488 --> 00:47:10.011
And I feel like our focus
has to go back to  our local

00:47:10.011 --> 00:47:11.481
spot where this all happened.

00:47:11.511 --> 00:47:14.811
Like we have to go back
there more than once a month.

00:47:14.841 --> 00:47:19.811
We have to put our focus and our
intentions there  if we want to push

00:47:19.811 --> 00:47:22.331
through this phase that we're stuck in.

00:47:22.831 --> 00:47:24.241
Jody: And then where is it bringing us?

00:47:24.741 --> 00:47:26.616
Because again, we went
in looking for ghosts

00:47:26.901 --> 00:47:27.385
and Right.

00:47:27.971 --> 00:47:30.521
Gab: I mean, maybe it brings us to
a better understanding of how this

00:47:30.521 --> 00:47:32.741
all works and  how we fit into it.

00:47:33.241 --> 00:47:35.491
Jody: Well, it's definitely brought me
the understanding that there's more out

00:47:35.491 --> 00:47:37.614
there than just,  know, dead people.

00:47:37.614 --> 00:47:37.704
Gab: Right.

00:47:38.300 --> 00:47:38.570
Jody: You know,

00:47:38.570 --> 00:47:39.740
walking around looking to talk to you.

00:47:40.221 --> 00:47:40.567
Gab: Yeah.

00:47:40.810 --> 00:47:44.280
I mean, um,  I'm doing that thing you hate

00:47:44.560 --> 00:47:46.646
where I don't say a complete sentence

00:47:46.646 --> 00:47:47.917
Jody: Oh 'cause you're Phone surfing.

00:47:48.417 --> 00:47:51.304
Gabrielle made conversation will
often get on her phone and just start.

00:47:51.304 --> 00:47:51.645
Gab: Yeah.

00:47:51.786 --> 00:47:54.434
Because my brain thinks of
ideas to figure them out.

00:47:54.629 --> 00:47:54.929
Jody: Yeah.

00:47:54.929 --> 00:47:56.599
And she'll be taking notes and everything

00:47:56.915 --> 00:47:59.000
Gab: So let's see the
phases of initiation.

00:47:59.624 --> 00:48:04.634
Define the purpose, set the boundaries,
validate feasibility, approve the work.

00:48:05.134 --> 00:48:05.734
Um,

00:48:06.049 --> 00:48:08.659
Jody: I feel like, uh, that first
part of the initiation, there

00:48:08.659 --> 00:48:10.249
were really no boundaries set.

00:48:10.699 --> 00:48:12.019
I think that came after

00:48:12.519 --> 00:48:13.059
Gab: yeah,

00:48:13.559 --> 00:48:16.499
Jody: Through mutual understanding,
through bringing, uh, monthly

00:48:16.499 --> 00:48:19.169
offerings and stating our intent.

00:48:19.479 --> 00:48:23.459
Gab: I feel like our
boundaries were tested.

00:48:23.775 --> 00:48:24.705
Jody: Yeah, it was a test

00:48:25.442 --> 00:48:26.665
Well that's what the initiation is.

00:48:26.729 --> 00:48:27.569
The initiation is a

00:48:27.569 --> 00:48:27.929
test.

00:48:27.932 --> 00:48:28.289
Gab: right?

00:48:28.289 --> 00:48:29.729
Like how will you react?

00:48:30.779 --> 00:48:33.509
I'm going to scare you in this way.

00:48:33.778 --> 00:48:36.459
testing you to see how you react.

00:48:37.010 --> 00:48:37.799
Will you be scared?

00:48:37.799 --> 00:48:38.369
Will you leave?

00:48:38.369 --> 00:48:39.279
Will you never come back?

00:48:39.279 --> 00:48:39.369
Jody: Right.

00:48:39.989 --> 00:48:41.749
Gab: But we've continue to come back.

00:48:41.749 --> 00:48:48.229
We've, you know, paid it, reverence, we've
left offerings, we've acknowledged it.

00:48:48.585 --> 00:48:51.222
and now I feel like it's like, okay.

00:48:51.584 --> 00:48:53.357
You know, we've built rapport.

00:48:53.792 --> 00:48:54.054
Jody: Right.

00:48:54.599 --> 00:48:57.052
Gab: And I feel like it's like I see you.

00:48:57.399 --> 00:49:03.129
Maybe I don't have to watch you  as hard
as I watch other people when they're here.

00:49:03.129 --> 00:49:04.389
Mm-hmm.

00:49:04.390 --> 00:49:06.404
Um, but we are still definitely watched.

00:49:06.764 --> 00:49:07.124
Jody: Yeah.

00:49:07.304 --> 00:49:11.054
It still feels like you have eyes on your
back when you're walking around there.

00:49:11.189 --> 00:49:11.520
Gab: Yeah.

00:49:12.049 --> 00:49:13.732
So it's three phases,

00:49:14.232 --> 00:49:18.002
separation or the departure  where
you leave behind the familiar,

00:49:18.002 --> 00:49:19.772
the comfortable, or the known.

00:49:20.437 --> 00:49:22.132
Jody: Which is, you
know, what we went we to

00:49:22.132 --> 00:49:25.957
do there, we, we expected to go, you
know,  look at local legends and,

00:49:26.457 --> 00:49:26.817
you know,

00:49:27.351 --> 00:49:28.247
Go ghost hunting.

00:49:28.732 --> 00:49:31.712
Gab: And then you have the second
phase, which is your liminal

00:49:31.712 --> 00:49:35.842
space,  the threshold, the
ordeal,  the in-between stage

00:49:36.342 --> 00:49:40.302
central, chaotic, the sacred
space of the initiation.

00:49:40.616 --> 00:49:45.356
Intense pressure testing ordeal
designed to break down your old self

00:49:45.871 --> 00:49:46.111
Jody: yeah.

00:49:46.111 --> 00:49:47.216
I feel like that's where we're at now.

00:49:47.216 --> 00:49:48.776
Gab: Where you lose your structure.

00:49:49.864 --> 00:49:51.776
Suspension of normal reality.

00:49:52.674 --> 00:49:53.781
Confrontation with

00:49:53.816 --> 00:49:56.546
your own, like shadow self or your fears.

00:49:57.557 --> 00:50:00.196
And then the third phase
is your reintegration, your

00:50:00.196 --> 00:50:02.946
return, You return to society.

00:50:02.976 --> 00:50:04.956
But you're now fundamentally changed.

00:50:04.956 --> 00:50:06.966
You're reborn, you're
matured, you're elevated.

00:50:07.282 --> 00:50:10.915
You incorporate your wisdom, power,
or new identity gained during the

00:50:10.915 --> 00:50:12.990
ordeal into your everyday life.

00:50:13.790 --> 00:50:17.470
this, I think, too, can be
related in ways that doesn't

00:50:17.470 --> 00:50:19.830
just come back to the paranormal.

00:50:20.130 --> 00:50:20.220
Jody: Right.

00:50:20.220 --> 00:50:20.850
Gab: You know what I mean?

00:50:21.350 --> 00:50:24.200
Even in a professional job,
you could look at it that way.

00:50:24.590 --> 00:50:27.570
You know, like, you've gone to college,
you've learned this information

00:50:27.737 --> 00:50:28.937
. That's your initiation.

00:50:29.177 --> 00:50:31.607
Now you're taking the job,
you're in the liminal phase.

00:50:31.967 --> 00:50:35.027
Now you are comfortable in your
position, you're knowledgeable,

00:50:35.027 --> 00:50:36.320
you're looking for a promotion.

00:50:36.583 --> 00:50:37.123
There you go.

00:50:37.123 --> 00:50:39.101
You have, you're reintegration,

00:50:39.353 --> 00:50:42.793
like it's not just  in this field
where you're experiencing this, like

00:50:42.793 --> 00:50:44.413
you're experiencing this other ways.

00:50:44.683 --> 00:50:44.893
Jody: Right.

00:50:45.393 --> 00:50:46.743
Gab: Where do you think we go from here?

00:50:47.073 --> 00:50:48.663
Jody: I just think we're
in the stuck phase.

00:50:48.753 --> 00:50:49.503
We're in the middle now.

00:50:49.804 --> 00:50:51.063
Gab: Yeah, we're in the middle phase.

00:50:51.570 --> 00:50:51.923
Yeah,

00:50:52.314 --> 00:50:53.813
Jody: We are in the liminal phase.

00:50:54.253 --> 00:50:54.613
Gab: Yeah.

00:50:54.613 --> 00:50:55.293
Jody: Is where we are.

00:50:55.293 --> 00:50:56.473
And it's exhausting

00:50:56.574 --> 00:50:58.273
Gab: it's probably why
you use that word so much.

00:50:58.470 --> 00:50:58.508
Jody: Yeah.

00:51:01.243 --> 00:51:02.023
Don't you start now

00:51:03.907 --> 00:51:10.029
Gab: just in that liminal phase, trying
to get through to the other side.

00:51:10.529 --> 00:51:10.961
Yeah.

00:51:11.261 --> 00:51:11.831
It's tough.

00:51:12.120 --> 00:51:13.325
Jody: I think  we're all there right now.

00:51:13.385 --> 00:51:15.125
I think literally
everybody, is there right

00:51:15.125 --> 00:51:15.365
now.

00:51:15.455 --> 00:51:15.875
Gab: Yeah.

00:51:16.375 --> 00:51:19.545
Jody: We're stuck in between
the old world and the new world.

00:51:19.552 --> 00:51:19.967
Gab: Yeah.

00:51:20.467 --> 00:51:21.757
And what's on the other side.

00:51:21.997 --> 00:51:22.207
Jody: Yeah.

00:51:22.297 --> 00:51:23.227
That's the question, right?

00:51:23.227 --> 00:51:24.187
What is on the other side?

00:51:24.507 --> 00:51:25.557
And do we accept it?

00:51:26.057 --> 00:51:26.477
Gab: Yeah.

00:51:26.777 --> 00:51:31.207
I think it's important too, to say
that you don't have to have any type of

00:51:31.207 --> 00:51:37.547
special like gift, special knowledge,
understanding to do these things.

00:51:37.914 --> 00:51:39.314
you know, you just need your intuition.

00:51:39.314 --> 00:51:41.504
You just need to trust
that, to work with that.

00:51:42.004 --> 00:51:42.814
Jody: Trust your gut.

00:51:42.814 --> 00:51:43.054
Yeah.

00:51:43.054 --> 00:51:43.954
Do the weird stuff.

00:51:43.974 --> 00:51:44.314
You know,

00:51:44.364 --> 00:51:44.834
Gab: Definitely.

00:51:44.834 --> 00:51:47.954
Jody: If you're into, if you're into
this stuff, do an Estes session.

00:51:48.655 --> 00:51:48.974
You know,

00:51:49.244 --> 00:51:50.084
Gab: Don't do it alone, of course

00:51:50.338 --> 00:51:51.158
Jody: No, no.

00:51:51.483 --> 00:51:53.493
Gab: Um, do it with someone else.

00:51:53.643 --> 00:51:54.273
Jody: Riff on it.

00:51:54.513 --> 00:51:55.533
See if you could come up with a

00:51:55.533 --> 00:51:57.043
new, use for it.

00:51:57.043 --> 00:51:57.973
A new way of doing it.

00:51:58.003 --> 00:51:58.393
Gab: Yeah.

00:51:58.513 --> 00:52:00.029
Definitely trust your intuition.

00:52:00.573 --> 00:52:05.318
Work with it to kind of really
understand how it works, how it

00:52:05.318 --> 00:52:09.658
guides you, you know, so you can
really trust it when you do feel it.

00:52:10.005 --> 00:52:16.253
And then,  you know, kind of see if
you can  move that into the ability to

00:52:16.525 --> 00:52:16.885
work

00:52:16.885 --> 00:52:20.935
with maybe a psychic ability that
you have that might be latent.

00:52:21.439 --> 00:52:23.385
You know, see if you can pull that out

00:52:23.655 --> 00:52:24.790
Jody: and try to get creative with it.

00:52:25.290 --> 00:52:25.620
Gab: Yeah.

00:52:25.815 --> 00:52:28.065
Jody: I think that's key right
there, is to get creative with it.

00:52:28.151 --> 00:52:28.470
Yeah.

00:52:28.470 --> 00:52:29.895
with new ways to do these things.

00:52:30.395 --> 00:52:30.995
Gab: Definitely.

00:52:31.220 --> 00:52:34.780
Jody: You know, 'cause I, I feel like
right now, like I, I'm kind of sick

00:52:34.780 --> 00:52:37.600
of the same old, same old, like I,
I mentioned the Estes method a lot.

00:52:37.600 --> 00:52:38.560
It's a great tool.

00:52:38.560 --> 00:52:41.950
It's something weird going on there, but
I don't wanna rely on it all the time.

00:52:42.115 --> 00:52:42.505
Gab: Yeah.

00:52:43.005 --> 00:52:44.300
Make it personal to you.

00:52:44.800 --> 00:52:45.340
Jody: Well make it personal to you and,

00:52:45.390 --> 00:52:46.825
Gab: form it to what works for you.

00:52:46.875 --> 00:52:48.615
And your like beliefs.

00:52:49.115 --> 00:52:50.525
Jody: come with new ways to do these new

00:52:51.170 --> 00:52:51.320
Gab: Yeah.

00:52:51.320 --> 00:52:53.420
And I don't just mean like
your spiritual beliefs.

00:52:53.420 --> 00:52:58.250
I mean, you know, any kind of beliefs
you might hold that are important

00:52:58.250 --> 00:52:59.455
to you, that are sacred to you.

00:52:59.645 --> 00:52:59.760
Jody: Mm-hmm.

00:52:59.975 --> 00:53:02.600
Gab: And they don't have to be spiritual,

00:53:02.900 --> 00:53:04.309
could incorporate it in any way.

00:53:04.819 --> 00:53:06.199
Video games, RPGs,

00:53:07.054 --> 00:53:07.544
LARPing

00:53:08.044 --> 00:53:08.534
Jody: LARPing,

00:53:09.034 --> 00:53:09.064
Oh

00:53:09.064 --> 00:53:09.694
my God.

00:53:09.709 --> 00:53:10.159
Gab: Yeah.

00:53:10.659 --> 00:53:12.699
Maybe a movie series.

00:53:12.729 --> 00:53:13.539
Book series.

00:53:13.539 --> 00:53:17.129
Like, you know, any kind of
framework that fits for you.

00:53:17.629 --> 00:53:18.259
Why not?

00:53:18.759 --> 00:53:19.929
Think of it as self-care.

00:53:20.429 --> 00:53:21.119
Jody: self-care.

00:53:21.479 --> 00:53:22.409
You're big on self-care.

00:53:22.686 --> 00:53:23.256
Gab: I love it.

00:53:23.756 --> 00:53:25.526
I Think it's what's getting
us all through right now.

00:53:25.882 --> 00:53:26.392
Uh oh.

00:53:26.872 --> 00:53:27.832
Miranda's at the door.

00:53:27.832 --> 00:53:29.062
Is she gonna let herself out?

00:53:29.212 --> 00:53:31.582
She learned how to use
the door handle recently.

00:53:32.082 --> 00:53:34.122
She just gets up and grabs it.

00:53:34.622 --> 00:53:35.582
Jody: She'll be back in a minute.

00:53:35.912 --> 00:53:36.539
Gab: She will.

00:53:36.572 --> 00:53:37.052
Jody: She one minute.

00:53:37.359 --> 00:53:37.549
Alright, so,

00:53:37.659 --> 00:53:38.369
Gab: She'll let herself in.

00:53:38.909 --> 00:53:42.589
Jody: I think it's important to say that,
um, I don't know, I think this recording

00:53:42.589 --> 00:53:46.359
was like a little bit of an exercise in
kind of putting our thoughts out there.

00:53:46.464 --> 00:53:46.944
Yeah.

00:53:47.169 --> 00:53:47.499
You know?

00:53:48.136 --> 00:53:48.348
Gab: We're

00:53:48.386 --> 00:53:49.041
Jody: gonna have to think on it.

00:53:49.880 --> 00:53:50.211
Gab: Yeah, definitely

00:53:50.306 --> 00:53:51.176
Jody: Stew on it, if you will

00:53:51.471 --> 00:53:51.831
Gab: Yeah.

00:53:52.331 --> 00:53:53.330
Jody: Put it in a slow cooker.

00:53:53.601 --> 00:53:54.711
Let it do its thing.

00:53:55.211 --> 00:53:56.331
Gab: See where it goers from here.

00:53:56.691 --> 00:53:58.941
How it changes and evolves

00:53:59.441 --> 00:54:00.958
Jody: and just accept that that's okay.

00:54:01.863 --> 00:54:03.963
Because that means you're growing.

00:54:04.463 --> 00:54:04.703
Gab: Yeah.

00:54:04.703 --> 00:54:06.353
And that's kind of the purpose, right?

00:54:06.353 --> 00:54:10.083
I mean, it's not to just
be stagnant, you know?

00:54:10.083 --> 00:54:12.633
You wanna learn and grow and
evolve and everything that you're

00:54:12.633 --> 00:54:15.143
doing in all aspects of your life.

00:54:15.533 --> 00:54:16.673
So why would this be any different?

00:54:17.177 --> 00:54:20.638
I also wonder if there's other
groups, I'm even thinking of like

00:54:20.638 --> 00:54:22.368
people on TV that are popular

00:54:22.368 --> 00:54:22.458
Jody: Yeah.

00:54:22.503 --> 00:54:25.943
Gab: or like YouTube popular shows
that are like doing this work.

00:54:25.943 --> 00:54:28.343
And have they moved beyond?

00:54:28.613 --> 00:54:29.103
And they're,

00:54:29.343 --> 00:54:30.153
Jody: They have to be.

00:54:30.508 --> 00:54:31.288
They have to be.

00:54:31.788 --> 00:54:32.748
You would think.

00:54:33.033 --> 00:54:35.445
I think a lot of it is follow the script.

00:54:35.535 --> 00:54:35.685
You

00:54:35.700 --> 00:54:36.260
know what I mean?

00:54:36.705 --> 00:54:38.955
And I'm not saying that they're
writing scripts for these shows.

00:54:38.955 --> 00:54:42.925
I'm sure some really are following a
very specific script,  but I think it's

00:54:42.925 --> 00:54:47.188
like  a lot of them are still kind of
following the old ways  of thinking.

00:54:47.368 --> 00:54:47.698
Gab: Yeah.

00:54:47.888 --> 00:54:50.368
Jody: Because that's what's
popular and that's what's.

00:54:50.892 --> 00:54:52.278
Gab: that's what's entertaining people.

00:54:52.593 --> 00:54:54.423
Jody: It's not even, it's
what everybody knows.

00:54:54.423 --> 00:54:55.143
You know what I mean?

00:54:55.973 --> 00:54:57.233
Gab: But that's what's entertaining them.

00:54:57.233 --> 00:54:59.948
That's what's grabbing their attention.

00:54:59.948 --> 00:55:05.278
And even the focus on the
negative aspect of it all

00:55:05.578 --> 00:55:05.884
Jody: yeah.

00:55:06.286 --> 00:55:09.136
Gab: You know, where everything's
negative, everything's out to harm you.

00:55:09.136 --> 00:55:09.706
Everything's

00:55:09.706 --> 00:55:10.486
out to get you.

00:55:10.531 --> 00:55:11.371
Jody: yeah, that's gone.

00:55:11.461 --> 00:55:12.241
Like, that's gone.

00:55:12.241 --> 00:55:13.321
That's out of my mindset.

00:55:13.321 --> 00:55:16.551
That's years now that,
that's already left my brain.

00:55:16.686 --> 00:55:17.046
Gab: Yeah.

00:55:17.546 --> 00:55:19.676
Jody: You know, are there
things out there that are evil?

00:55:20.006 --> 00:55:20.426
Yeah.

00:55:20.426 --> 00:55:22.346
I, I mean, I'm sure there are evil people.

00:55:22.346 --> 00:55:22.713
There's

00:55:22.841 --> 00:55:24.281
Gab: yeah, evil people.

00:55:24.281 --> 00:55:27.837
So you're gonna be, you know, if you
were  a certain way in life, you'll

00:55:27.837 --> 00:55:29.687
be that way in death, you know?

00:55:29.747 --> 00:55:30.252
And there's

00:55:30.252 --> 00:55:30.912
also less

00:55:31.797 --> 00:55:32.367
Jody: when you're dead?

00:55:32.862 --> 00:55:33.372
Gab: maybe

00:55:33.582 --> 00:55:35.292
probably yeah.

00:55:35.792 --> 00:55:36.012
Jody: Uh,

00:55:37.107 --> 00:55:40.317
Gab: I feel like we might've talked about
this before, but I just feel like, I don't

00:55:40.317 --> 00:55:41.817
know if we've talked about in the podcast,

00:55:41.817 --> 00:55:41.907
Jody: Mm-hmm.

00:55:42.327 --> 00:55:44.877
Gab: um, like demons are not as common as

00:55:44.877 --> 00:55:45.447
people say they are.

00:55:45.447 --> 00:55:45.507
Jody: No.

00:55:45.507 --> 00:55:47.607
Gab: they are or want
you to think they are.

00:55:47.667 --> 00:55:50.911
It's very rare,  if at all, to experience

00:55:50.911 --> 00:55:51.271
that.

00:55:51.361 --> 00:55:51.521
Jody: Right.

00:55:51.771 --> 00:55:53.961
Gab: Are there negative entities Yeah.

00:55:54.021 --> 00:55:55.971
That might want you to think
there's something else?

00:55:55.971 --> 00:55:56.601
Yeah.

00:55:56.894 --> 00:55:59.054
But like we said, if you're
a certain way in life, you're

00:55:59.054 --> 00:56:00.164
going to be that way in death.

00:56:00.374 --> 00:56:03.364
And then you also have to
look at thought forms again.

00:56:04.359 --> 00:56:07.949
And the egregors of what
other people have created when

00:56:07.949 --> 00:56:09.479
they're going to these places.

00:56:09.479 --> 00:56:09.779
Right.

00:56:09.779 --> 00:56:13.609
Like if you're telling someone, if
you come here and you, you know,

00:56:13.699 --> 00:56:18.549
you do A, B, and C. You know this
bad entity's going to come and these

00:56:18.549 --> 00:56:19.689
things are gonna happen to you.

00:56:20.199 --> 00:56:24.039
And you then have to look at how
people are like feeding that.

00:56:24.039 --> 00:56:24.399
Right.

00:56:24.414 --> 00:56:24.424
Jody: Right.

00:56:24.564 --> 00:56:26.259
Gab: Like what you feed will grow.

00:56:26.690 --> 00:56:26.884
So,

00:56:26.884 --> 00:56:26.994
Jody: oh yeah.

00:56:26.994 --> 00:56:27.544
Gab: So if you're feeding

00:56:27.544 --> 00:56:29.439
the negative, you're going to grow.

00:56:29.456 --> 00:56:29.694
Jody: Sure.

00:56:29.754 --> 00:56:30.234
And you have,

00:56:30.369 --> 00:56:31.194
Gab: that negative experience.

00:56:31.644 --> 00:56:36.134
Jody: you have YouTube and the internet
in general and face Facebook and all,

00:56:36.134 --> 00:56:36.434
you know.

00:56:37.124 --> 00:56:41.894
Social media is, is constantly now,
especially constantly feeding those

00:56:41.894 --> 00:56:42.374
things.

00:56:42.604 --> 00:56:42.844
You know?

00:56:42.904 --> 00:56:45.094
And especially when you're getting
something that's not connected with

00:56:45.094 --> 00:56:46.474
any of the history of the area too.

00:56:46.684 --> 00:56:46.774
Gab: Right.

00:56:46.774 --> 00:56:46.954
Right It

00:56:47.014 --> 00:56:47.584
Jody: you gotta wonder,

00:56:47.584 --> 00:56:48.034
Gab: It doesn't make sense.

00:56:48.144 --> 00:56:48.174
Jody: Yeah.

00:56:48.309 --> 00:56:48.509
Gab: Yeah.

00:56:48.634 --> 00:56:49.304
Jody: Who put it there?

00:56:50.775 --> 00:56:53.754
And we literally run
into that all the time.

00:56:53.859 --> 00:56:54.149
Gab: Yeah.

00:56:54.339 --> 00:56:56.874
You have to get past when you
go to these places, get past

00:56:56.874 --> 00:56:57.744
what they're telling you to

00:56:57.744 --> 00:56:58.319
expect.

00:56:58.942 --> 00:56:59.264
Right.

00:56:59.264 --> 00:57:00.884
And get to like the real heart of it.

00:57:01.304 --> 00:57:01.544
Jody: Yep.

00:57:02.044 --> 00:57:03.124
Gab: Anything you wanna add?

00:57:03.244 --> 00:57:04.624
Jody: No, I think that's all I got.

00:57:05.323 --> 00:57:06.754
I'm done airing my grievances.

00:57:08.201 --> 00:57:08.591
Gab: Well,

00:57:08.774 --> 00:57:09.764
Jody: Well, we're not going anywhere.

00:57:09.928 --> 00:57:10.166
No,

00:57:10.166 --> 00:57:11.126
we're still gonna do this.

00:57:11.156 --> 00:57:12.178
Uh, we enjoy it.

00:57:12.348 --> 00:57:14.578
We really like, you know,
running the show and

00:57:15.078 --> 00:57:15.408
Gab: Yeah.

00:57:15.673 --> 00:57:16.813
Jody: I think it's something for us.

00:57:16.813 --> 00:57:17.113
Right.

00:57:17.113 --> 00:57:17.173
Yeah.

00:57:17.233 --> 00:57:19.123
I think that's mainly why we do it.

00:57:19.213 --> 00:57:21.613
You know, we don't make
any money off it, we don't

00:57:22.063 --> 00:57:22.483
Gab: Right.

00:57:22.983 --> 00:57:23.103
Jody: know,

00:57:23.603 --> 00:57:24.713
we're not asking for anything.

00:57:24.953 --> 00:57:25.313
Gab: No.

00:57:25.813 --> 00:57:27.583
It's just fun to share
our stories with you.

00:57:27.588 --> 00:57:27.728
Jody: Yeah.

00:57:28.012 --> 00:57:28.702
Gab: In this way.

00:57:29.202 --> 00:57:33.132
Another way to  kind of connect with
people who are interested in the field.

00:57:33.312 --> 00:57:34.592
Jody: Collect other peoples stories

00:57:35.093 --> 00:57:35.202
Gab: Yeah.

00:57:35.262 --> 00:57:36.512
Jody: That's what the
interviews are, I mean,

00:57:36.618 --> 00:57:38.868
Gab: Maybe you are interested in
this field, but you don't wanna

00:57:38.868 --> 00:57:43.085
take  the time, the energy, the
expense  to go out and investigate.

00:57:43.145 --> 00:57:48.085
But you can kind of, you know, spend
the time with us and, you know, debrief

00:57:48.085 --> 00:57:50.755
with us and hear about our experiences.

00:57:50.995 --> 00:57:52.375
Listen to our evidence, right?

00:57:52.992 --> 00:57:53.165
Jody: Yeah.

00:57:53.705 --> 00:57:54.575
Maybe you're just weird.

00:57:54.989 --> 00:57:55.366
Gab: Yeah.

00:57:55.866 --> 00:57:57.006
Maybe you're just into this

00:57:57.006 --> 00:57:57.556
stuff.

00:57:57.906 --> 00:57:59.376
Jody: Maybe you're just
into doing weird things

00:57:59.426 --> 00:58:01.316
Gab: Into this little niche

00:58:01.316 --> 00:58:01.466
Jody: Embrace it.

00:58:03.271 --> 00:58:03.620
Gab: Yeah.

00:58:03.786 --> 00:58:05.706
Jody: Don't let anybody
tell you that there's, you

00:58:05.706 --> 00:58:07.196
know, something wrong with you.

00:58:07.256 --> 00:58:08.636
If it's what you enjoy, then do it.

00:58:09.044 --> 00:58:10.184
Write about it, read about it.

00:58:10.702 --> 00:58:12.454
You know, express yourself
any way you could.

00:58:13.129 --> 00:58:13.329
I guess.

00:58:13.329 --> 00:58:13.984
Don't make you happy.

00:58:14.045 --> 00:58:14.314
Yeah.

00:58:14.739 --> 00:58:17.469
Gab: You have to, at the end
of the day, find something,

00:58:17.544 --> 00:58:19.794
Jody: Make a documentary,
make a painting, whatever.

00:58:20.184 --> 00:58:21.384
Gab: Do something to fill your cup.

00:58:21.884 --> 00:58:22.994
Can't keep draining it.

00:58:23.494 --> 00:58:25.054
Well, thanks for listening.

00:58:25.054 --> 00:58:27.034
If you got this far, we appreciate it.

00:58:27.964 --> 00:58:29.914
We know we started out kind
of slow in the beginning.

00:58:29.914 --> 00:58:30.994
I hope it got better.

00:58:31.189 --> 00:58:32.269
Jody: I feel like it was up and down.

00:58:32.421 --> 00:58:32.649
Gab: Yeah.

00:58:34.264 --> 00:58:36.664
Jody: Again, this is, this is
not something we didn't prepare

00:58:36.664 --> 00:58:37.684
this, we didn't have an outline.

00:58:37.684 --> 00:58:39.274
This is just something
we kind of just said.

00:58:39.394 --> 00:58:44.054
I think we should do a recording where
we just kind of go off the top of our

00:58:44.054 --> 00:58:45.309
minds, you know, like what's, yeah.

00:58:45.314 --> 00:58:47.594
What's our, what's, what's
going on in our head?

00:58:47.984 --> 00:58:48.344
Gab: Yeah.

00:58:48.554 --> 00:58:50.834
We've been avoiding
talking about these things,

00:58:50.914 --> 00:58:51.149
Jody: Yeah.

00:58:51.164 --> 00:58:51.384
Gab: So,

00:58:51.884 --> 00:58:55.449
so we didn't kind of like contaminate
it with the conversation Yeah.

00:58:55.449 --> 00:58:57.189
That we already had, you know,

00:58:57.334 --> 00:58:57.624
Jody: it's

00:58:57.744 --> 00:58:58.959
Gab: we actually have the conversation

00:58:58.989 --> 00:59:01.509
Jody: It's weird too, you know, when
you're doing a paranormal podcast

00:59:01.809 --> 00:59:03.969
from our standpoint, we,
we believe in this stuff.

00:59:04.199 --> 00:59:04.409
Gab: Right.

00:59:04.719 --> 00:59:05.679
Jody: We, We, really do.

00:59:05.709 --> 00:59:08.499
And you know, there's plenty of
podcasts out there, you know, and

00:59:08.799 --> 00:59:10.479
YouTube debunkers and stuff like that.

00:59:10.509 --> 00:59:11.869
Um, we believe in this stuff,

00:59:11.869 --> 00:59:15.019
so, It's hard to run a podcast and
then do an episode like this where

00:59:15.019 --> 00:59:19.459
we're like, well, we don't really
believe in some of that stuff anymore.

00:59:19.594 --> 00:59:19.864
Gab: Yeah.

00:59:19.864 --> 00:59:22.209
Jody: You know, but I
mean, it might come back.

00:59:22.209 --> 00:59:22.299
Gab: Right.

00:59:22.299 --> 00:59:22.869
Jody: Who, who knows.

00:59:22.869 --> 00:59:23.679
It's always changing.

00:59:24.009 --> 00:59:24.099
It's

00:59:24.099 --> 00:59:24.639
evolving.

00:59:24.814 --> 00:59:25.034
So,

00:59:25.470 --> 00:59:25.954
Gab: That's true.

00:59:26.454 --> 00:59:29.934

01:00:04.755 --> 01:00:04.995

Jody: We got some really
nice feedback recently.

01:00:15.498 --> 01:00:15.738
Love

01:00:15.738 --> 01:00:16.218
seeing that.

01:00:16.278 --> 01:00:20.168
And we had a lot, like I said,
we had a lot of people come up

01:00:20.168 --> 01:00:23.683
and talk to us and, tell us their
experiences at the curiosities event.

01:00:23.914 --> 01:00:24.776
Gab: Yeah, that was great.

01:00:25.290 --> 01:00:26.986
Jody: We didn't even bring
our recording equipment.

01:00:27.076 --> 01:00:30.406
We were just there to just, you know,
kind of like talk with everybody.

01:00:30.406 --> 01:00:31.621
But in

01:00:31.621 --> 01:00:35.011
hindsight I kind of wish I brought the
recorder ' cause we got a lot of stories.

01:00:35.179 --> 01:00:35.701
Gab: Yeah.

01:00:35.851 --> 01:00:36.751
It was awesome.

01:00:36.961 --> 01:00:37.291
Jody: Yeah.

01:00:37.791 --> 01:00:38.061
Gab: Yeah.

01:00:38.061 --> 01:00:39.711
A lot of people sharing their experiences.

01:00:39.711 --> 01:00:40.191
It was great.

01:00:40.717 --> 01:00:42.221
Jody: So anyway, that's all I got.

01:00:42.401 --> 01:00:42.731
Yeah.

01:00:42.791 --> 01:00:43.511
Thanks for listening.
