9
00:00:54.259 --> 00:00:56.219
even though he was a joy to have on. That
10
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:58.399
was very fun. I hope you all enjoyed him as
11
00:00:58.460 --> 00:01:03.329
much as we did. I've got some nods from the
12
00:01:03.369 --> 00:01:06.390
girls here, so I assume they feel the same way,
13
00:01:06.650 --> 00:01:11.189
and so can you. So, what is everybody's vibe check today? Bea,
14

we'll start with you.
15
00:01:12.609 --> 00:01:16.010
I'm hitting my afternoon slump. I need something.
16
00:01:15.890 --> 00:01:19.769
Interesting to happen. One episode in. Yeah, but it's also
17
00:01:19.810 --> 00:01:20.909
three in the afternoon.
18
00:01:21.390 --> 00:01:24.969
Yeah, we're a little bit behind schedule. I went to
19
00:01:25.010 --> 00:01:29.549
bed at 2 a.m., and I got up at 9 a.m., Ew,
20
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:29.920
I would do that.
21
00:01:29.980 --> 00:01:30.810
That will do it, yeah.
22
00:01:31.390 --> 00:01:34.129
I'm in my afternoon slump. I need something interesting to happen.
23
00:01:34.150 --> 00:01:36.170
I had a caffeine crash, so I get it, yeah.
24
00:01:36.209 --> 00:01:39.090
Last night, we went to bed at like maybe midnight
25
00:01:39.129 --> 00:01:41.379
or something because... You went... I went to bed at
26
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:44.859
like midnight or something because I... Me and Lyndon were...
27
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:46.920
Because he spent the night last night. We were playing Yu-Gi-Oh!
28
00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:50.189
And both of us during our second game were just like,
29
00:01:50.250 --> 00:01:52.829
we feel so fucking exhausted. You just want to watch some...
30
00:01:53.209 --> 00:01:55.790
like videos and that's what we did we're so tired
31
00:01:55.810 --> 00:01:57.650
i don't know why like it's maybe it's because i
32
00:01:57.670 --> 00:02:00.049
wasn't ending the podcast like i usually do on fridays
33
00:02:01.230 --> 00:02:05.650
but i just i was so exhausted last night.
34
00:02:05.430 --> 00:02:08.430
I finally watched obsession last.
35
00:02:08.210 --> 00:02:10.629
Night how was it pissed me off oh.
36
00:02:10.550 --> 00:02:13.629
Yeah yeah he he deserved every bit of that.
37
00:02:13.530 --> 00:02:16.759
Yeah for sure that guy yeah I haven't.
38
00:02:16.219 --> 00:02:18.599
Seen it, but I know we did do. There's a specific,
39
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.439
I'm not going to give any spoilers, but there's a
40
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:27.520
very specific moment that I can call out exactly when
41
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:29.400
I was like, all right, fuck this guy.
42
00:02:33.259 --> 00:02:35.280
I mean, that's kind of why I haven't watched it,
43
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:39.629
because it's just kind of like abuse the movie, kind of.
44
00:02:40.310 --> 00:02:44.030
I recognize it's good. Obviously, it's more than that. But
45
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.819
I'm just tired of horror movies where the woman getting
46
00:02:47.860 --> 00:02:49.000
abused is the whole thing.
47
00:02:49.219 --> 00:02:53.319
From a quote-unquote female or woman perspective, it was definitely
48
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:54.539
a horror movie in her eyes.
49
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:55.419
Yeah, for sure.
50
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:56.379
That shit was.
51
00:02:57.139 --> 00:02:57.360
Wow.
52
00:02:59.020 --> 00:03:00.500
I still kind of want to watch it because I'm
53
00:03:00.530 --> 00:03:02.430
a glutton for punishment. Don't watch it alone.
54
00:03:03.009 --> 00:03:03.349
Really?
55
00:03:03.370 --> 00:03:03.710
Yeah.
56
00:03:03.949 --> 00:03:06.729
And I won't be watching it because I don't want to.
57
00:03:06.990 --> 00:03:08.889
I'm happy to watch it with you since I've already
58
00:03:08.930 --> 00:03:11.430
seen it and I know what's coming. Don't watch it alone.
59
00:03:13.069 --> 00:03:13.530
All right, well.
60
00:03:13.669 --> 00:03:17.509
For mental reasons or for scared reasons? For mental reasons,
61
00:03:17.819 --> 00:03:19.979
because I feel like you're going to have a very
62
00:03:20.060 --> 00:03:22.860
similar reaction that I did to the specific scene where
63
00:03:22.900 --> 00:03:25.740
I was like, all right, fuck this guy. And you're
64
00:03:25.819 --> 00:03:28.139
probably going to need to go. I'm going to throw up. Yeah.
65
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:28.360
Okay.
66
00:03:29.020 --> 00:03:30.819
Anyway, maybe I don't want to watch it. It was
67
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.340
a really great movie. I'll have to look it up
68
00:03:33.419 --> 00:03:34.300
on Disney. Yeah, for sure.
69
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:35.409
I've only heard good things.
70
00:03:35.939 --> 00:03:38.810
That actor that played the guy, he did an excellent
71
00:03:38.849 --> 00:03:40.169
job because I fucking hated him.
72
00:03:40.569 --> 00:03:41.349
He did his job.
73
00:03:41.990 --> 00:03:45.219
When I see his face and I just fucking feel hate.
74
00:03:45.500 --> 00:03:51.560
He did a great job. The woman, the actress who played,
75
00:03:52.259 --> 00:03:53.020
oh shit, what's her name?
76
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:53.680
Nikki.
77
00:03:53.819 --> 00:03:56.240
Nikki. She is cast to be our new rogue in
78
00:03:56.259 --> 00:03:59.240
the MCU. Yes. I'm so hyped. Good for her.
79
00:03:59.259 --> 00:04:06.240
Her fucking acting skills in that movie were fantastic. Great movie.
80
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:11.000
Yeah. And, like, I think it's okay to be like, yeah,
81
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.780
this movie is probably, it's really well done. I'm glad
82
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:16.980
it exists. I don't want to watch it. I just don't.
83
00:04:17.060 --> 00:04:19.100
Yeah. I can respect that.
84
00:04:19.220 --> 00:04:19.800
Absolutely.
85
00:04:19.819 --> 00:04:22.339
Yeah.
86
00:04:22.420 --> 00:04:24.879
There's just emotions I don't want to feel.
87
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:32.649
It's nothing per se, like, super triggering.
88
00:04:33.050 --> 00:04:35.389
I know, basically. But it's very. I know, basically, the
89
00:04:35.430 --> 00:04:38.329
movie because I'm a glutton for looking up things and shit. Well, yeah.
90
00:04:38.670 --> 00:04:40.209
I'm talking about the specific scene.
91
00:04:40.230 --> 00:04:40.910
I see, I see, yeah.
92
00:04:40.930 --> 00:04:45.970
Because it really just, oh, it fucking pissed me off.
93
00:04:45.990 --> 00:04:50.300
Mm-hmm. Yeah, I just, I think for me with movies
94
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:52.660
like that and like other media is like, there's so
95
00:04:52.699 --> 00:04:55.819
many negative emotions that I feel on a daily basis
96
00:04:55.860 --> 00:04:57.839
because of the way the world is and shit. I
97
00:04:58.100 --> 00:05:00.620
don't want to manufacture those two in my free time. Yeah,
98
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:01.420
that's fair.
99
00:05:01.779 --> 00:05:04.730
For me, it's nice that, this is going to sound
100
00:05:04.790 --> 00:05:09.000
kind of bad, but it's nice that Those negative emotions
101
00:05:09.139 --> 00:05:11.120
aren't because of something that's happening in real life.
102
00:05:11.620 --> 00:05:12.879
Sure. I can see that.
103
00:05:12.899 --> 00:05:13.620
That makes sense.
104
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:14.540
No, I can understand that.
105
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.439
Because it's something else because I'm not focusing on something
106
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:18.100
really happening.
107
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:18.480
Yeah.
108
00:05:18.620 --> 00:05:21.569
And those feelings are very temporary. And it's, I'm sorry,
109
00:05:21.589 --> 00:05:23.230
I didn't mean to cut you off. You're fine. it's
110
00:05:23.250 --> 00:05:25.310
something that you have control of too. Like at any
111
00:05:25.350 --> 00:05:27.029
point you can turn it off and stop it and
112
00:05:27.050 --> 00:05:28.810
it's done. I think that's, yeah.
113
00:05:28.889 --> 00:05:29.069
Yeah.
114
00:05:29.269 --> 00:05:32.730
I love, yeah, yeah. Love movies. Not to, not to
115
00:05:32.769 --> 00:05:34.569
make it about sex like I always do, but I
116
00:05:34.589 --> 00:05:37.110
feel like it's, it's a similar thing with CNC for me.
117
00:05:37.629 --> 00:05:40.129
I love CNC, but it's because I have that control.
118
00:05:40.149 --> 00:05:42.110
I can stop it at any time. Yeah.
119
00:05:42.230 --> 00:05:45.069
It's, I think it's, there's a lot of things that like,
120
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.600
whether it's sex or anything else that like, or I
121
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.120
guess porn or anything else, of course, like that's a
122
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.180
very much thing to where it's like, yeah, This is
123
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:55.410
great right now when it's in a controlled environment where
124
00:05:55.430 --> 00:05:56.769
it's not actually real.
125
00:05:56.829 --> 00:05:57.089
Yes.
126
00:05:57.649 --> 00:05:59.410
But once it becomes real, it's like, of course I
127
00:05:59.430 --> 00:06:00.230
don't like this, right?
128
00:06:00.250 --> 00:06:03.689
No, no. Because I have the power... If it ever
129
00:06:03.750 --> 00:06:05.639
becomes too much, I have the power to say, all right,
130
00:06:05.660 --> 00:06:05.939
I'm done.
131
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:07.779
Yeah, for sure. Love that, love that.
132
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:11.000
In real life, didn't have that option. It fucking sucked.
133
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:14.310
No, I get that completely.
134
00:06:14.370 --> 00:06:19.149
It's almost like... I don't want to say reliving the situation,
135
00:06:19.189 --> 00:06:21.430
but being able to put those shoes on again and
136
00:06:21.449 --> 00:06:22.410
have control.
137
00:06:22.129 --> 00:06:25.670
Over it feels nice. Yeah, I can understand that. I
138
00:06:25.689 --> 00:06:28.569
think my thing with those kind of emotions, specifically with
139
00:06:28.620 --> 00:06:32.019
the movies where they can be really negative and stuff,
140
00:06:32.100 --> 00:06:36.019
is especially if I know it's coming, it just feels
141
00:06:36.259 --> 00:06:39.439
so exhausting to go into it. So it's like, why
142
00:06:39.459 --> 00:06:43.050
do I want to? Again, I know that's a personal thing. Like,
143
00:06:43.089 --> 00:06:46.620
people should absolutely enjoy these movies. Like, they're really well
144
00:06:46.660 --> 00:06:47.600
made and shit like that.
145
00:06:48.339 --> 00:06:52.360
Is it A24? No. No, I don't think A24 made
146
00:06:52.379 --> 00:06:55.069
that one. I think it was a Universal movie.
147
00:06:55.350 --> 00:06:57.430
Huh. I don't know. I can't remember. It might be
148
00:06:57.449 --> 00:06:59.990
because they are at Halloween Horror Nights, Obsession is.
149
00:07:00.529 --> 00:07:02.500
Oh, that would make sense. I feel like I remember
150
00:07:02.569 --> 00:07:05.620
seeing the, like, glow thing in the beginning.
151
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:08.459
Yeah. Along with Fortnite and Sinners. Is that Universal Horror Nights?
152
00:07:08.500 --> 00:07:11.259
I fucking loved Sinners. That was a great movie.
153
00:07:11.420 --> 00:07:18.540
I am having trouble seeing how Sinners and Obsession work
154
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:22.040
in a Halloween Horror Night environment, though. Because from what
155
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.500
I've seen, it's all just been like, I don't know
156
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:30.509
about this, man. Not that it's been bad, but it
157
00:07:30.550 --> 00:07:35.550
doesn't feel like the right environment. You know, does that
158
00:07:35.569 --> 00:07:36.209
make any sense?
159
00:07:36.250 --> 00:07:39.779
Yeah. Cause they're not, I mean, I guess sinners, I
160
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:41.420
could see it because they're vampires.
161
00:07:41.860 --> 00:07:44.860
Like it's also the same, like they're vampires.
162
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:46.259
You say, have you.
163
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:49.209
Not seen sinners? No. Oh, you need to watch sinners.
164
00:07:49.610 --> 00:07:51.230
It's such a great movie.
165
00:07:51.269 --> 00:07:52.189
We need to watch sinners.
166
00:07:52.269 --> 00:07:53.870
It's such a great movie.
167
00:07:54.259 --> 00:07:55.139
Yeah, we need to watch Sinners.
168
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:57.439
He's got to be in the specific mood for movies.
169
00:07:57.519 --> 00:07:58.509
I have to be in a mood to be in a.
170
00:07:58.500 --> 00:08:00.639
And there are movies that he wants to see that
171
00:08:00.699 --> 00:08:02.199
I can't watch without him, but he's got to be
172
00:08:02.220 --> 00:08:03.899
in the mood for them. So it's like a.
173
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:04.459
Yeah, I'm weird.
174
00:08:04.490 --> 00:08:06.550
I'll watch a movie any time of day, any day
175
00:08:06.569 --> 00:08:07.850
of the week. He, though.
176
00:08:08.589 --> 00:08:10.829
No, for me, it's like an ordeal in my brain.
177
00:08:10.850 --> 00:08:11.339
I don't know why.
178
00:08:11.389 --> 00:08:11.949
Yeah, yeah.
179
00:08:11.990 --> 00:08:13.230
Like, I have to be in a mood.
180
00:08:13.810 --> 00:08:15.550
We need to start having movie nights, but we need
181
00:08:15.569 --> 00:08:18.110
to make sure it's not on Brandon's list first.
182
00:08:18.149 --> 00:08:20.649
Well, see, thing is, if we plan a movie night,
183
00:08:21.170 --> 00:08:22.910
I have enough time to be like, all right, this
184
00:08:22.970 --> 00:08:24.620
is the mode. You know what I mean? If it's
185
00:08:24.649 --> 00:08:25.990
an event, I can do it.
186
00:08:26.220 --> 00:08:26.319
Yeah.
187
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:27.660
But I can't just watch a movie out of nowhere
188
00:08:27.699 --> 00:08:29.420
like she can. She can be like, I just watch
189
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:29.670
a movie now.
190
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:30.879
I watch them at work sometimes. Yeah. Yeah.
191
00:08:31.139 --> 00:08:31.680
I can't do that.
192
00:08:31.819 --> 00:08:33.679
I watched K-pop Demon Hears twice at work.
193
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:33.980
Yeah.
194
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:36.950
In the same day. I'm in a similar sense where
195
00:08:36.970 --> 00:08:38.490
I got to be in the mood. That's why I say, oh,
196
00:08:38.549 --> 00:08:39.750
it's because I'm the same way.
197
00:08:39.769 --> 00:08:40.629
If it's an event, I can do it.
198
00:08:40.629 --> 00:08:42.000
If it's a planned movie night, like, oh, let's do it.
199
00:08:42.009 --> 00:08:42.730
I'm down. Let's do it.
200
00:08:42.730 --> 00:08:44.809
We haven't had a horror movie night since, like, I
201
00:08:44.830 --> 00:08:45.370
was single.
202
00:08:45.769 --> 00:08:46.049
Yeah.
203
00:08:46.210 --> 00:08:49.230
That was really fun. It's been a long time. Fucking, okay.
204
00:08:49.289 --> 00:08:51.750
Oh, man. We need to plan that with, like, our
205
00:08:51.769 --> 00:08:52.289
friend group.
206
00:08:52.350 --> 00:08:52.909
Yeah, for sure.
207
00:08:52.929 --> 00:08:54.950
I'd love that. Have, like, a scary movie sleepover kind
208
00:08:54.990 --> 00:08:58.000
of thing. Get some popcorn, candy. I'm texting the group
209
00:08:58.009 --> 00:08:58.429
chat right now.
210
00:08:58.460 --> 00:09:03.960
Hello? Oh, yeah. That's great. Dahlia, what's your vibe check?
211
00:09:04.929 --> 00:09:07.690
That was all bees. Yeah, sorry. Oh, my God.
212
00:09:07.710 --> 00:09:16.740
No, you're good. My vibes are chill. I am... You
213
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:17.919
guys can attest to this.
214
00:09:18.059 --> 00:09:18.639
I can attest.
215
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:19.980
Am I speaking loud enough?
216
00:09:20.740 --> 00:09:21.860
Maybe a little bit loud would be fine.
217
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.659
How about this? I feel like I'm kind of yelling.
218
00:09:24.940 --> 00:09:26.019
No, you're good. Okay.
219
00:09:26.590 --> 00:09:31.570
So I am chill. I am laying kind of... Would
220
00:09:31.590 --> 00:09:32.309
you say I'm laying?
221
00:09:32.889 --> 00:09:34.529
You're there. Yeah, you're laying. Yeah, you're there.
222
00:09:35.230 --> 00:09:39.860
Yeah okay just very eepy um that's about all i

224
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:48.259

00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:48.980
You're always hot honey.

00:10:06.940 --> 00:10:11.230
um yeah i don't have a headache yet i'm i
231
00:10:11.250 --> 00:10:14.190
haven't crashed yet yet oh.
232
00:10:14.149 --> 00:10:16.669
You know what i'm probably having a caffeine crash you
233
00:10:16.690 --> 00:10:19.179
think so I feel like I didn't have that much caffeine.
234
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:21.679
I just had that one coffee. Yeah. I took a
235
00:10:21.750 --> 00:10:24.029
couple sips of the Dr. Pepper, but it wasn't good,
236
00:10:24.090 --> 00:10:24.940
so I didn't drink it.
237
00:10:26.169 --> 00:10:26.429
Fair.
238
00:10:26.889 --> 00:10:29.009
Well, what if I ordered.
239
00:10:30.009 --> 00:10:30.269
What if?
240
00:10:30.769 --> 00:10:33.730
What if I ordered a cold, frozen coffee?
241
00:10:33.809 --> 00:10:35.169
What if? Honestly.
242
00:10:36.100 --> 00:10:38.200
With espresso? Yeah.
243
00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:40.620
Give me a snack if you do that, is all
244
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:41.039
I'm saying.
245
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:42.399
You want a cake pop?
246
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:44.360
We'll figure that. Do I want a what?
247
00:10:44.419 --> 00:10:47.019
Cake pop. Or would you rather have like a lemon loaf?
248
00:10:48.059 --> 00:10:51.110
Neither of those sound particularly... The.
249
00:10:51.019 --> 00:10:53.809
Fucking lemon loaf. I just... A lemon loaf in general.
250
00:10:53.830 --> 00:10:56.370
I don't give a damn where it's from.
251
00:10:56.549 --> 00:10:59.830
Alright, well. Are we ready?
252
00:11:00.210 --> 00:11:00.549
Yeah.
253
00:11:00.570 --> 00:11:01.509
I can just get right into it then.
254
00:11:01.549 --> 00:11:02.309
Born ready.
255
00:11:02.929 --> 00:11:06.210
Okay. We'll try that. No intro for this one. It's
256
00:11:06.230 --> 00:11:07.450
an interesting story, I promise you.
257
00:11:07.809 --> 00:11:08.129
Hell yeah.
258
00:11:08.350 --> 00:11:12.279
As told by the show Paranormal Night Shift, I give
259
00:11:12.299 --> 00:11:18.759
you the story I call Drama in the Auditorium. Southeast Town, USA, 1990.
260
00:11:18.740 --> 00:11:25.399
22-year-old R.W. returns to his former high school to work
261
00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:28.870
as a custodian on the graveyard shift. His wife had
262
00:11:28.899 --> 00:11:31.429
just left him, leaving him as a single father, so
263
00:11:31.490 --> 00:11:37.710
he really needed this job. Rumors of the paranormal had
264
00:11:37.730 --> 00:11:40.950
been whispered about at the school since R.W. was still attending. However,
265
00:11:41.409 --> 00:11:46.409
being a complete skeptic himself, he completely dismissed the rumors outright. However,
266
00:11:47.299 --> 00:11:50.279
The day custodian at the school is a believer and
267
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:53.500
warns RW on his very first night shift to be
268
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:57.899
careful of the auditorium. Unfortunately for RW, the auditorium was
269
00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:00.399
the very first thing that he was assigned to clean
270
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:03.899
that night. Oh, boy. None of the other custodians wanted to,
271
00:12:04.179 --> 00:12:07.889
and RW was the new guy. There had been a
272
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.710
drama workshop going on that day, and the school wanted
273
00:12:10.730 --> 00:12:13.309
to make sure that everything was prepped and ready in
274
00:12:13.350 --> 00:12:16.320
time for school the next day, so... R.W. got to
275
00:12:16.379 --> 00:12:20.669
work cleaning right away. Not long into the night, and
276
00:12:20.710 --> 00:12:25.330
things already began to get strange. R.W. starts to hear
277
00:12:25.350 --> 00:12:28.190
the sounds of footsteps walking back and forth across the stage.
278
00:12:29.330 --> 00:12:31.809
While he believes that he's the only one in the area,
279
00:12:32.450 --> 00:12:35.250
he doesn't really pay any mind to the footsteps and
280
00:12:35.289 --> 00:12:39.590
continues cleaning. The whole time, the footsteps continued, mind you,
281
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:46.940
As he starts to mop, RW props open an outside
282
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:50.480
door attached to the auditorium, as he was instructed to
283
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.539
allow the floor to dry faster. As he returns to
284
00:12:54.580 --> 00:12:57.179
his mopping, RW hears the door that he had just
285
00:12:57.250 --> 00:13:00.929
propped open with a thick wooden prop slam shut with
286
00:13:00.970 --> 00:13:04.870
a force. Shaken a bit from the noise, RW goes
287
00:13:04.889 --> 00:13:07.730
to check it out, only to find the prop that
288
00:13:07.750 --> 00:13:10.750
he had been using sat on top of the door.
289
00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:16.580
of the small stairs leading onto the stage near the door.
290
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:19.179
So picture an auditorium stage, how there's like little stairs
291
00:13:19.220 --> 00:13:21.200
that lead up onto a stage right from the side.
292
00:13:21.740 --> 00:13:23.779
So the door was right next to there being propped open,
293
00:13:23.860 --> 00:13:25.539
and now the thing he used to prop it open
294
00:13:25.700 --> 00:13:29.779
was on the top stair of there. While there was
295
00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:32.159
no way it could have gotten there without being physically moved,
296
00:13:32.539 --> 00:13:35.200
or there was no way that it could have gotten
297
00:13:35.220 --> 00:13:38.059
there without being physically moved, but RW props the door
298
00:13:38.100 --> 00:13:41.210
back open and tries to get back to work. As
299
00:13:41.250 --> 00:13:45.029
he continues to mop, RW hears a flapping sound and
300
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:47.960
looks up to the stage. Half of the curtains for
301
00:13:47.980 --> 00:13:51.080
the stage were drawn, and RW watches as they move
302
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:54.639
as if somebody was walking behind them, running a hand
303
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:59.159
along them. RW thinks someone may actually be behind the
304
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:01.759
curtain and cautiously walks around to the stairs leading up
305
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:04.899
to the stage. When he gets up behind the curtain,
306
00:14:04.970 --> 00:14:09.230
he sees nobody there. Maybe his mind was playing tricks
307
00:14:09.289 --> 00:14:12.940
on him. Could it have just been a draft? He
308
00:14:12.980 --> 00:14:16.639
returns to work. Not long after, he says that the
309
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.340
atmosphere in the room changed entirely, like the air had
310
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:24.259
been charged with static. R.W. starts to get a feeling
311
00:14:24.539 --> 00:14:27.629
that he's being watched, and that's when the whistling began.
312
00:14:28.809 --> 00:14:31.649
Plain as day, R.W. could hear the distinct sound of
313
00:14:31.710 --> 00:14:36.210
somebody whistling some sort of tune from in the auditorium
314
00:14:36.289 --> 00:14:39.809
with him. At this point, He starts to think that
315
00:14:39.870 --> 00:14:42.370
maybe all this talk of ghosts may not be as
316
00:14:42.429 --> 00:14:46.289
ridiculous as he once thought. He follows the whistling to
317
00:14:46.309 --> 00:14:48.960
the curtain again, but after ripping it open, he still
318
00:14:49.029 --> 00:14:54.120
finds nobody. The whistling now sounds like it's coming from
319
00:14:54.139 --> 00:14:56.120
the back of the auditorium, and he spins around to
320
00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:57.779
try and find the person making the noise.
321
00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:00.779
Why the fuck are we following whistling?
322
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:04.580
As he looks around, chills go down his spine as
323
00:15:04.620 --> 00:15:06.940
he hears the sound of a voice whisper his name
324
00:15:07.059 --> 00:15:12.960
from center stage. Terrified, RW turns but sees nobody. Another
325
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:16.730
whisper of his name. RW calls out, asking who's there.
326
00:15:17.929 --> 00:15:22.009
As he approaches the stage, the whistling starts again. A
327
00:15:22.110 --> 00:15:24.990
stage light falls, crashing down right in front of him,
328
00:15:25.370 --> 00:15:29.019
too close for comfort. As he backed away quickly from
329
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:32.299
the shattered light, RW is forcefully reminded of the rumors
330
00:15:32.379 --> 00:15:35.220
as to why the school was haunted in the first place.
331
00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:41.190
The story went that a teacher named Mr. Rainer Rainier, rather,
332
00:15:41.450 --> 00:15:43.509
had been working late one night in the 70s when
333
00:15:43.549 --> 00:15:46.309
a stage light had fallen on him. Nobody had been
334
00:15:46.330 --> 00:15:48.009
there to help him, and he ended up succumbing to
335
00:15:48.049 --> 00:15:50.759
his injuries and dying right there on the auditorium stage.
336
00:15:52.340 --> 00:15:56.740
As R.W. tried to collect himself from almost being seriously
337
00:15:56.820 --> 00:16:00.100
injured by that falling light, he hears his name whispered
338
00:16:00.139 --> 00:16:05.690
again before all the lights in the auditorium go out,
339
00:16:05.929 --> 00:16:09.320
leaving him in complete darkness. He didn't have a flashlight
340
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:12.419
with him, but he did have a lighter. He flicks
341
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:14.379
it on and tries to find the light switch, but
342
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:16.200
the problem with the lighter is every time he would
343
00:16:16.220 --> 00:16:18.429
take a step, it would flicker and nearly go out.
344
00:16:19.809 --> 00:16:22.750
The whistling starts up again, somewhere around him, as he
345
00:16:22.850 --> 00:16:25.309
nears the area where he thinks the light switch would be.
346
00:16:26.649 --> 00:16:29.309
As he finds a wall, the center stage light suddenly
347
00:16:29.450 --> 00:16:33.480
clicks on. RW looks over at the stage, and standing
348
00:16:33.580 --> 00:16:35.879
right in the middle of the spotlight, he sees a man.
349
00:16:37.259 --> 00:16:40.220
The man looks back at him directly, his lips pursed
350
00:16:40.340 --> 00:16:44.850
as the whistling sound continues. RW says he was scared
351
00:16:45.029 --> 00:16:48.429
shitless as he called to the man, asking what it
352
00:16:48.490 --> 00:16:52.490
was that he wanted. The man, in response, yelled RW's
353
00:16:52.529 --> 00:16:57.789
name before disappearing once again. RW had had enough. He
354
00:16:57.860 --> 00:17:00.440
bolts out of the school, bailing on his first and
355
00:17:00.620 --> 00:17:04.099
only night shift. When he told his employers that he
356
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:09.529
wouldn't be coming back, they understood completely. replaying the night
357
00:17:09.549 --> 00:17:11.769
in his mind later on, R.W. believes that if the
358
00:17:11.809 --> 00:17:14.130
spirit really had wanted to hurt him, he could have.
359
00:17:15.019 --> 00:17:17.339
He thinks instead that the spirit of the drama teacher
360
00:17:17.380 --> 00:17:20.480
wanted more to show R.W. how he died and have
361
00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:22.920
him feel the feelings of being trapped there that he
362
00:17:22.980 --> 00:17:23.420
had felt.
363
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:24.400
Hate that.
364
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:27.259
R.W. says that after that night, he is no longer
365
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:30.400
a skeptic, but a full-on believer in the paranormal.
366
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:35.200
Good lord. Well, I'm glad they understood when he quit.
367
00:17:35.220 --> 00:17:39.579
Yeah, for real. They didn't try to Yeah.
368
00:17:39.859 --> 00:17:42.259
Let's put the new guy there so he quits immediately.
369
00:17:42.299 --> 00:17:43.519
That's the dumbest shit.
370
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:45.579
I think it's more that they just didn't want to
371
00:17:45.619 --> 00:17:49.480
fucking do it. No matter what happened, they didn't want
372
00:17:49.500 --> 00:17:51.400
to do it. They did not think ahead at all.
373
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:53.289
Now they're going to have to for longer.
374
00:17:53.309 --> 00:18:04.470
Bullshit, yeah. A short, simple, one-off experience, but damn. But B,
375
00:18:04.569 --> 00:18:06.450
I agree with you. Why the fuck are we following Whispering?
376
00:18:07.140 --> 00:18:08.839
I think it's actually less that he was following it
377
00:18:08.859 --> 00:18:10.799
and more just like a sound happened behind him and
378
00:18:10.819 --> 00:18:13.440
he turns to be like, what the fuck was that, right? Which,
379
00:18:14.500 --> 00:18:16.759
I mean, I would not turn around if there was
380
00:18:16.779 --> 00:18:18.380
a sound behind me, no matter how scary it was.
381
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:19.700
You know what I mean?
382
00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:21.279
No, yeah, I get it.
383
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:24.730
All right. Any other thoughts before we get to pictures?
384
00:18:25.089 --> 00:18:25.630
No, I'm ready.
385
00:18:25.849 --> 00:18:29.089
All right. Then I only have two pictures for us today.
386
00:18:30.730 --> 00:18:35.259
This first one is of R.W., We forgot to un-add
387
00:18:35.299 --> 00:18:39.059
Linda from the group check. Somebody do that real quick. Actually,
388
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:40.339
I'll do it. You guys look at the picture of
389
00:18:40.380 --> 00:18:46.569
our W and think about what you've done. But yeah,
390
00:18:46.609 --> 00:18:52.309
so that's our W, just our normal run-of-the-mill, like, face
391
00:18:53.089 --> 00:18:55.529
to a name. And then we have one more. This
392
00:18:55.950 --> 00:19:02.289
is the show's representation of what the man looked like
393
00:19:02.410 --> 00:19:05.750
that R.W. saw on the stage in the spotlight when
394
00:19:05.789 --> 00:19:09.549
that clicked on out of the darkness, right? So this
395
00:19:09.569 --> 00:19:12.190
is allegedly, like, this is their depiction of what he saw.
396
00:19:12.210 --> 00:19:24.099
All right. Yeah. Any thoughts on... Those before I get
397
00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:26.160
to my next story. Or are we just ready to
398
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:27.220
keep trucking along?
399
00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:30.359
I'm ready. I'm ready.
400
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.480
I'm ready. So, for this next one, I do have
401
00:19:33.539 --> 00:19:36.940
one trigger warning. It is mentions of suicide.
402
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:38.180
Okay.
403
00:19:38.809 --> 00:19:43.650
Okay, so. As told by the show Paranormal Survivor, I
404
00:19:43.690 --> 00:19:46.190
bring you this tale I call David's Apartment.
405
00:19:47.670 --> 00:19:48.289
Damn it, David.
406
00:19:48.289 --> 00:19:56.559
2009. 2009, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Christine McGee will never forget
407
00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:59.019
the day that her and her young son, Sam, moved
408
00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:02.019
into their new apartment. They were so excited to be
409
00:20:02.059 --> 00:20:04.819
moving into such a nice and spacious place, and Christine
410
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:07.980
was already envisioning what a great, fresh start this would
411
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:10.509
be for the two of them. Sam thought it would
412
00:20:10.529 --> 00:20:13.069
be so much fun moving into this big apartment building
413
00:20:13.289 --> 00:20:16.470
and hope to make so many new friends. But as
414
00:20:16.490 --> 00:20:19.529
the excitement began to wear off, unexplained events began to
415
00:20:19.589 --> 00:20:22.930
occur in their new home. About three months after moving in,
416
00:20:23.490 --> 00:20:26.910
Christine started to regularly hear the sounds of footsteps in
417
00:20:26.930 --> 00:20:30.930
the apartment hallways. Now, while the steps on their own
418
00:20:30.970 --> 00:20:33.910
I'm sure could be explained away, they did not come alone.
419
00:20:35.099 --> 00:20:39.990
Accompanying these footsteps... were usually the sounds of a door
420
00:20:40.029 --> 00:20:43.329
slamming in the apartment, followed by the sounds of giggling.
421
00:20:44.650 --> 00:20:47.549
And Sam would hear them too. He described the footsteps
422
00:20:47.609 --> 00:20:49.920
as loud and heavy, almost like a large man was
423
00:20:50.019 --> 00:20:53.579
stomping his way down the halls. And while Christine did
424
00:20:53.619 --> 00:20:56.920
her best to assure him that the noises were just
425
00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:59.440
the people in the apartment next to them, Sam wasn't
426
00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:04.430
entirely convinced. Christine tried her best to ignore these occurrences.
427
00:21:05.410 --> 00:21:07.450
And then one day, as she was in her room,
428
00:21:07.890 --> 00:21:09.750
she hears a noise from the kitchen that sounds to
429
00:21:09.869 --> 00:21:13.759
her as quote hundreds of plates just crashing to the
430
00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:17.460
floor she bolts up and runs to the kitchen to
431
00:21:17.539 --> 00:21:21.829
find that it looks absolutely ransacked all the cutlery and
432
00:21:21.900 --> 00:21:24.730
plates are on the floor every single dish lay broken
433
00:21:24.769 --> 00:21:28.369
on the ground the cabinet doors open and the fridge
434
00:21:29.049 --> 00:21:32.230
as well open who the hell could have done this
435
00:21:33.309 --> 00:21:36.089
In denial that something paranormal was going on, Christine wonders
436
00:21:36.150 --> 00:21:39.349
if something had possibly, or someone had possibly broken in.
437
00:21:40.549 --> 00:21:45.210
I mean, valid, like, worry, obviously. As time goes on,
438
00:21:45.529 --> 00:21:48.309
Sam reports that he had started to hear voices talking
439
00:21:48.329 --> 00:21:51.750
to him from inside his room at night. Whenever this
440
00:21:51.769 --> 00:21:54.490
would happen, Sam says that he would throw his blanket
441
00:21:54.549 --> 00:21:57.170
over his face and try to ignore it. But then,
442
00:21:57.650 --> 00:22:02.430
he started seeing the sources of the voices. The most
443
00:22:02.490 --> 00:22:04.650
common one was a boy that looked to be around
444
00:22:04.710 --> 00:22:09.430
his age. Sam says that this boy almost looked just
445
00:22:09.490 --> 00:22:11.420
like him except that the boy's hair was just a
446
00:22:11.819 --> 00:22:15.220
bit darker. And Sam said that he was never really
447
00:22:15.339 --> 00:22:19.140
able to see his eyes either. This boy would always
448
00:22:19.220 --> 00:22:20.819
ask Sam to play with him and told him that
449
00:22:20.859 --> 00:22:25.289
his name was David. Sometimes, Christine would hear a little
450
00:22:25.309 --> 00:22:27.589
boy's laughter coming from Sam's room in the middle of
451
00:22:27.609 --> 00:22:29.890
the night. But when she would go and ask him
452
00:22:29.950 --> 00:22:31.730
about it, Sam would tell her that it was David.
453
00:22:33.460 --> 00:22:36.279
This finally gave Christine the push she needed to admit
454
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:39.549
to herself that something just wasn't quite right in the apartment.
455
00:22:41.430 --> 00:22:44.630
One night, Christine is jolted awake from sleep as her
456
00:22:44.670 --> 00:22:47.250
bedroom door swings open with enough force to slam against
457
00:22:47.309 --> 00:22:47.670
the wall.
458
00:22:48.289 --> 00:22:48.509
Damn.
459
00:22:49.589 --> 00:22:52.150
As her groggy mind tries to process what had just happened,
460
00:22:52.349 --> 00:22:55.599
she hears a soft voice of a young boy say, Mommy?
461
00:22:57.180 --> 00:22:59.220
Thinking that it was just Sam, she pats the bed
462
00:22:59.259 --> 00:23:02.859
behind her. Quote, did you just have another bad dream, Sam? Sam?
463
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:06.779
She mumbles in her reassuring tone. Come on, you can
464
00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:10.440
sleep here with mommy tonight. Oof. She hears the soft
465
00:23:10.569 --> 00:23:13.109
creak of the wooden floor as footsteps approach the other
466
00:23:13.150 --> 00:23:16.450
side of the bed. She feels the bed dip in
467
00:23:16.609 --> 00:23:18.650
as the weight of her son slides across the covers.
468
00:23:19.369 --> 00:23:22.869
Or under the covers, rather. Christine turns around to give
469
00:23:22.890 --> 00:23:25.670
her son a hug and comfort him. But what she
470
00:23:25.730 --> 00:23:28.650
sees laying in bed with her is not her son.
471
00:23:30.309 --> 00:23:33.029
As she stares into the eyeless face of the boy
472
00:23:33.109 --> 00:23:36.750
she had heard her son describe as David, it started
473
00:23:36.829 --> 00:23:41.390
to speak to her. David told Christine that he wanted
474
00:23:41.450 --> 00:23:45.650
to kill Sam and take Sam's place inside his body.
475
00:23:45.890 --> 00:23:46.650
Oh my god.
476
00:23:47.789 --> 00:23:51.049
David then vanishes right before her eyes and in a
477
00:23:51.089 --> 00:23:54.420
panic she bolts out of bed. As she rushes to
478
00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:57.059
her son's side, thoughts flash through her mind of finding
479
00:23:57.079 --> 00:23:59.579
her son laying dead in his bed, but thankfully, she
480
00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:03.859
finds him unharmed. From that moment on, however, Sam would
481
00:24:03.900 --> 00:24:08.500
experience targeted paranormal events on a daily basis. Things would
482
00:24:08.579 --> 00:24:11.140
fly across the room at him as if being thrown.
483
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:13.180
He would be woken up in the middle of the
484
00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:16.869
night to, quote, people screaming at him at the top
485
00:24:16.910 --> 00:24:19.930
of their lungs just inches away from his face. Lungs
486
00:24:20.009 --> 00:24:21.069
I comma quoted, by the way.
487
00:24:21.450 --> 00:24:21.690
Yeah.
488
00:24:22.869 --> 00:24:25.670
Sam was terrified. He didn't know how to deal with
489
00:24:25.710 --> 00:24:27.769
what was going on, and he started losing sleep as
490
00:24:27.829 --> 00:24:32.460
well as suffering in school. It got to the point
491
00:24:32.700 --> 00:24:34.720
where every little noise he would hear would make him jump,
492
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:37.420
would make him cry, would make him just scared of
493
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:40.900
what was going to happen next. This would continue for
494
00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:45.140
the next three years of living in the apartment. And
495
00:24:45.180 --> 00:24:47.460
over the course of that time, Sam would think about
496
00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:51.990
taking his life on several occasions. Oh. He had once
497
00:24:52.069 --> 00:24:54.690
even contemplated jumping in front of a bus just to
498
00:24:54.930 --> 00:24:59.509
end the torment. One night, as Christine is getting ready
499
00:24:59.549 --> 00:25:03.240
for bed, she hears a blood-curdling scream coming from Sam's room.
500
00:25:04.500 --> 00:25:07.019
As she rushes in, she is met with a horrifying sight.
501
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:10.420
Sam was hanging half off the side of his bed,
502
00:25:10.619 --> 00:25:14.130
both his wrists and ankles bound tightly together with his
503
00:25:14.170 --> 00:25:18.150
own bed sheet. Christine rushes to his aid, and when
504
00:25:18.190 --> 00:25:20.529
she's finally able to untie him, she can see red
505
00:25:20.589 --> 00:25:22.519
marks in the places where he was bound from just
506
00:25:22.619 --> 00:25:26.660
how tight the sheets had been tied. Sam says all
507
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:28.740
he remembers is waking up half on the floor and
508
00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:34.279
feeling really scared. After this incident, Christine sends Sam to
509
00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:36.369
live with her parents for a while, fearing for his safety.
510
00:25:37.529 --> 00:25:40.609
But now, alone in the apartment, she herself begins to
511
00:25:40.650 --> 00:25:44.450
become the focus of the torment. One night, as she
512
00:25:44.490 --> 00:25:46.869
was sitting on the couch watching TV... She heard the
513
00:25:46.930 --> 00:25:52.319
sound of heavy footsteps walking around behind her. She's looking
514
00:25:52.339 --> 00:25:56.220
around but sees nothing, and suddenly she feels hands grip
515
00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:59.900
her ankles. She struggles against them, but they hold strong.
516
00:26:00.180 --> 00:26:04.700
Looking down, she can see two disembodied hands wrapped tightly
517
00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:08.400
around her ankles. She screams, and with one final jerk,
518
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:12.289
she pulls free of the hands. That was finally enough
519
00:26:12.329 --> 00:26:15.720
for her. Christine leaves the apartment only with a couple
520
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:17.519
pictures of her son that she can grab on the
521
00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:20.880
way out and never comes back. She wanted nothing more
522
00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:23.819
to do with the apartment. Sam swears that if they
523
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:26.200
had stayed longer, he doesn't think that they would have
524
00:26:26.220 --> 00:26:27.339
been around to tell the story.
525
00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:27.940
Oof.
526
00:26:28.769 --> 00:26:31.970
And even till this day, every time Christine passes by
527
00:26:32.009 --> 00:26:36.009
the place, she can't help but shiver, believing that whatever
528
00:26:36.089 --> 00:26:38.930
had tormented her and her son is still there, watching
529
00:26:39.609 --> 00:26:40.029
and waiting.
530
00:26:41.329 --> 00:26:41.910
Good lord.
531
00:26:41.930 --> 00:26:42.369
Mm-hmm.
532
00:26:43.529 --> 00:26:46.109
Because, like, there's no way he could have bound his
533
00:26:46.150 --> 00:26:48.509
own hands like that. That tight.
534
00:26:48.789 --> 00:26:51.049
Yeah, that's kind of insane. And I know some people
535
00:26:51.069 --> 00:26:52.690
would say maybe he did it for attention. Maybe he
536
00:26:52.710 --> 00:26:55.190
did it himself. Have you ever tried to bind your
537
00:26:55.259 --> 00:26:56.940
own hands, especially that tightly?
538
00:26:56.960 --> 00:26:58.619
You could use your fucking teeth, I guess.
539
00:26:58.759 --> 00:26:59.460
I guess.
540
00:27:00.220 --> 00:27:00.460
But.
541
00:27:00.740 --> 00:27:03.859
But not that tightly. There's, like, a limit to how
542
00:27:03.940 --> 00:27:06.900
tightly you can bind your hands, like, on your own
543
00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:11.430
or bound your wrists. And, like, why? Why would you
544
00:27:11.769 --> 00:27:12.490
at that point, right?
545
00:27:12.509 --> 00:27:16.359
Right. Like, so we're all in agreement that that wasn't
546
00:27:16.420 --> 00:27:17.420
a child spirit.
547
00:27:17.460 --> 00:27:19.460
It was a, no, for sure. That was not, there's
548
00:27:19.500 --> 00:27:23.940
no way that was a child spirit. No, like, no,
549
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:26.480
that was, that was some, that was something way dark.
550
00:27:26.579 --> 00:27:30.500
And her like inviting it into her bed. Yeah.
551
00:27:30.619 --> 00:27:33.299
Well, cause she thought it was her son. I can't
552
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:36.950
imagine the fear of turning around. Like if, Forget the
553
00:27:36.990 --> 00:27:39.279
kid thing. Me turning around in bed expecting to see
554
00:27:39.319 --> 00:27:41.720
you there instead of me, like, seeing something that had
555
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:46.579
no eyes and also looked nothing like you. Yeah. I, like,
556
00:27:47.259 --> 00:27:48.380
soiled bed, first of all.
557
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:49.240
Yeah.
558
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:51.279
Like.
559
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:54.740
I'm probably swinging, honestly.
560
00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:55.700
Right.
561
00:27:55.759 --> 00:28:02.279
Oh, yeah. Especially after it says something like that.
562
00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:05.819
Yeah, that's crazy. From what I understand, it, like, immediately
563
00:28:05.839 --> 00:28:07.109
kind of disappeared afterwards.
564
00:28:07.420 --> 00:28:07.789
Yeah.
565
00:28:07.809 --> 00:28:10.029
So, like, by the time you take that in, you're like, oh,
566
00:28:10.069 --> 00:28:11.589
I'm ready to swing. Ain't no way you said that.
567
00:28:11.650 --> 00:28:12.369
It's gone, right?
568
00:28:12.890 --> 00:28:14.450
I'm talking about on sight.
569
00:28:14.470 --> 00:28:15.150
On sight, I'm swinging.
570
00:28:15.170 --> 00:28:17.430
As soon as I fucking see something like that, I.
571
00:28:19.109 --> 00:28:22.609
My fight or flight is fight. Yeah.
572
00:28:23.730 --> 00:28:27.670
Yeah, for sure. For sure. All right, you guys ready
573
00:28:27.690 --> 00:28:28.269
for some pictures?
574
00:28:28.369 --> 00:28:28.650
Yes.
575
00:28:28.769 --> 00:28:30.690
All right, let's do it. So again, once again, I
576
00:28:30.690 --> 00:28:35.180
have two. This first one is, once again, a run-of-the-mill
577
00:28:35.839 --> 00:28:38.599
face to a name. So this is Christine and Sam
578
00:28:38.700 --> 00:28:43.269
McGee as they appeared in this documentary to talk about
579
00:28:43.289 --> 00:28:43.809
this incident.
580
00:28:45.150 --> 00:28:48.089
Excuse me. Beautiful. Huh? Thanks.
581
00:28:48.170 --> 00:28:51.349
Oh, the burp? Yeah, for sure. And then this last
582
00:28:51.589 --> 00:28:57.109
one is the show's description of how Sam looked when
583
00:28:57.150 --> 00:28:59.150
he was bound with a sheet and like christine ran
584
00:28:59.210 --> 00:29:02.769
in to see him so like this is apparently according
585
00:29:02.789 --> 00:29:04.910
to him how he woke up and was just terrified
586
00:29:04.950 --> 00:29:06.809
which like yeah i would be too oh my god
587
00:29:06.829 --> 00:29:10.230
wow so yeah that is that's what i have today
588
00:29:10.650 --> 00:29:14.250
what um we all think what any closing thoughts on
589
00:29:14.309 --> 00:29:17.930
those because like scale we scale we yeah.
590
00:29:17.730 --> 00:29:21.630
Yeah we that's fucked up yeah no every time it
591
00:29:21.670 --> 00:29:24.170
involves like kid and the kids being harmed no.
592
00:29:24.369 --> 00:29:26.789
For sure it's never a good time no it's always
593
00:29:26.829 --> 00:29:29.990
like so much worse yeah um.
594
00:29:30.190 --> 00:29:32.789
Because like people who hurt kids or your spirits or
595
00:29:32.809 --> 00:29:34.509
hurt kids aren't good.
596
00:29:35.130 --> 00:29:37.049
Yeah that's an understatement i'd say they have.
597
00:29:37.170 --> 00:29:40.880
Ill intentions Thank you for obvious thought is obvious, doll, right?
598
00:29:40.900 --> 00:29:41.700
Obvious thought is obvious.
599
00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:44.259
That's fair.
600
00:29:44.299 --> 00:29:47.160
All right, well, what do you got for us, then?
601
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:51.589
What's yours today? I have one allegedly true encounter, and
602
00:29:51.710 --> 00:29:56.849
I didn't write a fucking introduction for it. So I guess,
603
00:29:57.430 --> 00:29:59.990
once again, we're just going to skirt, skirt, skirt.
604
00:30:01.099 --> 00:30:03.019
Get on into it, I guess. Yeah.
605
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:06.039
So this is from your ghoststories.com, right?
606
00:30:06.140 --> 00:30:06.539
Sure.
607
00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:11.549
And the OP titled this, and I really liked this title.
608
00:30:11.589 --> 00:30:13.190
I thought it was a little silly.
609
00:30:13.470 --> 00:30:14.230
Yeah.
610
00:30:14.650 --> 00:30:17.089
Of We Ghosties in a Haunted School.
611
00:30:17.329 --> 00:30:17.750
Big fan.
612
00:30:17.809 --> 00:30:18.150
Big fan.
613
00:30:18.609 --> 00:30:19.549
Of We Ghosties.
614
00:30:19.630 --> 00:30:21.609
Of We Ghosties. Like we as in W-E-E.
615
00:30:21.710 --> 00:30:23.299
No, no. I know exactly what you mean. Little Ghosties
616
00:30:23.339 --> 00:30:24.859
in a Haunted School. Of We Ghosties.
617
00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:30.569
It's written by a username Valkricry. Okay. They posted this
618
00:30:30.660 --> 00:30:37.069
February 20th of 2013 from the country of the United
619
00:30:37.089 --> 00:30:39.690
States and the state of Illinois.
620
00:30:40.210 --> 00:30:40.470
Okay.
621
00:30:40.910 --> 00:30:44.329
The paranormal category of this one is Haunted Places, if
622
00:30:44.369 --> 00:30:45.890
you couldn't have guessed by the title.
623
00:30:46.289 --> 00:30:47.230
Sure. Right.
624
00:30:48.170 --> 00:30:53.000
So let's get into it. Recently, Oak Park Elementary celebrated
625
00:30:53.099 --> 00:30:56.759
its 120th year, which would have meant it was built
626
00:30:56.819 --> 00:30:59.039
around 1893.
627
00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:01.740
Damn, isn't that close to when our house was built?
628
00:31:02.140 --> 00:31:03.559
Yep, our house was built in 1897.
629
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:04.200
Well, damn.
630
00:31:05.140 --> 00:31:08.880
However, some suspect the school is even older since the
631
00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:14.930
existing records do not date farther back. Perhaps the anniversary
632
00:31:15.049 --> 00:31:17.650
is why this story feels the need to be told.
633
00:31:18.930 --> 00:31:23.410
Back in 1979, I was the district's first female janitor.
634
00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:28.259
The building, not counting its basement, is three stories high
635
00:31:28.279 --> 00:31:32.049
and and I had to clean every blessed room and restroom,
636
00:31:32.490 --> 00:31:36.009
lugging 32-gallon trash barrels up and down the stairs.
637
00:31:36.349 --> 00:31:37.410
Three stories is wild.
638
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:39.900
Not including the basement, too.
639
00:31:39.920 --> 00:31:43.140
At that. I thought our school was big at two stories.
640
00:31:43.319 --> 00:31:43.980
That's crazy.
641
00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:49.759
The building has changed a lot over the years, but
642
00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:53.950
despite added wings, externally it reminds me of an old orphanage.
643
00:31:54.849 --> 00:32:00.049
In the original rooms, fireplaces still stand. Mosaics decorate the
644
00:32:00.109 --> 00:32:03.650
floors and even the wall that spans over the stairwells.
645
00:32:04.809 --> 00:32:08.390
The lowest floor's windows are almost below ground level and
646
00:32:08.450 --> 00:32:12.980
have what they call window wells around them. When I
647
00:32:13.019 --> 00:32:15.880
was given the keys for the alarm and doors, I
648
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:20.259
was given this bit of advice. Clean the bottom floor first.
649
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:25.009
You don't want to be on that floor after dark. Well,
650
00:32:25.269 --> 00:32:28.160
that's pretty cryptic, but... No one would give me details.
651
00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:29.220
I'm listening to it, though.
652
00:32:30.289 --> 00:32:33.369
The first few weeks, nothing really happened, and I grew
653
00:32:33.430 --> 00:32:37.809
accustomed to working in a dead building. The footsteps following
654
00:32:37.869 --> 00:32:40.690
me were the echo of my own steps. That weird
655
00:32:40.750 --> 00:32:44.289
gurgling sound? Air in the pipes. Things of that nature.
656
00:32:45.069 --> 00:32:48.269
I would arrive shortly before 3pm and make my rounds,
657
00:32:48.349 --> 00:32:51.609
testing that all the doors were locked, no kids lurking
658
00:32:51.650 --> 00:32:55.829
in the stairwells, and that empty classrooms were indeed empty.
659
00:32:57.019 --> 00:32:59.640
I would then fetch a trash barrel and carry it
660
00:32:59.819 --> 00:33:03.359
up to the third floor and begin emptying waste bins.
661
00:33:04.500 --> 00:33:07.960
Since the building had twin staircases at either ends of
662
00:33:08.019 --> 00:33:11.009
the halls, I would come up one, then go to
663
00:33:11.049 --> 00:33:14.329
the lower floor via the other. Is it via or via?
664
00:33:14.390 --> 00:33:15.069
I say it both.
665
00:33:15.089 --> 00:33:16.349
You can do either or, honestly.
666
00:33:17.210 --> 00:33:22.210
Double checking the supposed locked doors on the way. I
667
00:33:22.269 --> 00:33:25.859
am not a tall person, and the barrel is waist
668
00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:29.089
high on me. You can imagine how much fun it
669
00:33:29.269 --> 00:33:33.619
was to lug it up and down stairs, especially when full,
670
00:33:33.680 --> 00:33:37.420
it could weigh between 70 to 80 pounds. I developed
671
00:33:37.500 --> 00:33:40.099
a type of bumping it up and down the stairs
672
00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:42.920
in order for it not to pull me down them.
673
00:33:43.869 --> 00:33:47.210
The echo from that sure took some getting used to.
674
00:33:48.109 --> 00:33:50.769
I would collect the filled barrels on the ground floor
675
00:33:50.809 --> 00:33:53.549
of the gym, which also served as the lunchroom for
676
00:33:53.589 --> 00:33:56.839
the kids. How it was ever thought I could avoid
677
00:33:56.880 --> 00:34:00.779
that floor after dark is beyond me. One day, I
678
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:03.779
had this brainstorm that I would carry the barrel up
679
00:34:03.940 --> 00:34:06.579
and not only empty the waste bins, but clean the
680
00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:09.980
rooms as well. Just work my way down to the bottom.
681
00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:13.739
It made total sense to me. Of course, I would
682
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:16.230
still need to make another round in order to clean
683
00:34:16.269 --> 00:34:19.530
both stairwells, but that was no biggie, and it would
684
00:34:19.570 --> 00:34:21.929
reduce the number of times I had to climb all
685
00:34:21.989 --> 00:34:25.170
the way up. I was making great time, And when
686
00:34:25.190 --> 00:34:28.539
I reached the second floor, having completed the third, I
687
00:34:28.619 --> 00:34:32.079
nipped into the teacher's lounge for a quick break. So
688
00:34:32.139 --> 00:34:34.380
now the barrel is with me on the second floor
689
00:34:34.820 --> 00:34:37.460
and I take the second floor's dust mop up back
690
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:39.840
the stair, excuse me, up the back stairwell.
691
00:34:40.219 --> 00:34:41.039
Up back the stairs.
692
00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:46.150
Yes, sweeping as I go. Then I swept down the
693
00:34:46.190 --> 00:34:49.309
long third floor hall and back down the front stairs
694
00:34:49.369 --> 00:34:52.809
to the second floor. I repeated this down to the
695
00:34:52.849 --> 00:34:58.539
first floor. By now, it's around 8pm. I work until 11.
696
00:34:58.539 --> 00:35:02.260
Twilight is getting dark fairly fast. I stopped for lunch
697
00:35:02.449 --> 00:35:05.349
and went back to cleaning. I was in one of
698
00:35:05.389 --> 00:35:08.630
the older rooms, with a large fireplace, and the floor
699
00:35:08.690 --> 00:35:13.530
was decorated with a large old-fashioned compass design. One entire
700
00:35:13.610 --> 00:35:18.269
wall was a slate blackboard. The opposing wall had four windows,
701
00:35:18.630 --> 00:35:21.429
each with one of those window wells I spoke of earlier.
702
00:35:22.510 --> 00:35:25.110
Although the room was as cheerful as a classroom can
703
00:35:25.130 --> 00:35:29.949
be made, I felt an acute sadness. I had moved
704
00:35:30.070 --> 00:35:32.369
one of the small chairs into the doorway so that
705
00:35:32.449 --> 00:35:34.690
I could stand on it to clean the edge above
706
00:35:34.750 --> 00:35:37.869
the door. I turned to pick up my dusting rack,
707
00:35:37.969 --> 00:35:40.949
and when I turned back, the chair was not there,
708
00:35:41.329 --> 00:35:45.480
but two feet or so to the left. I thought
709
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:48.699
it odd, but shrugged it off, moved the chair back,
710
00:35:48.840 --> 00:35:53.630
and climbed up. That's when it started. the sound of
711
00:35:53.750 --> 00:35:58.920
small children crying, along with bangings on the windows. I
712
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:02.260
jumped down and, fighting my fright, walked over to the
713
00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:05.239
windows to see if I could see if someone was
714
00:36:05.380 --> 00:36:08.559
hiding down in the window wells. As soon as I
715
00:36:08.619 --> 00:36:13.070
approached the windows, the sound stopped. I listened intently for
716
00:36:13.110 --> 00:36:16.730
muffled laughter or anything else to give the prankster away.
717
00:36:16.750 --> 00:36:17.869
Nothing.
718
00:36:17.889 --> 00:36:21.690
Nothing. I sighed heavily and went out to check the
719
00:36:21.750 --> 00:36:25.960
window wells from the outside. Not what I wanted to do,
720
00:36:26.500 --> 00:36:29.500
mind you, but this was part of my job, to
721
00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:34.159
check things like this out. I stepped out to see
722
00:36:34.199 --> 00:36:37.699
a squad car parked near the building. This wasn't unusual.
723
00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:41.840
Once word had gotten around that a lone female was working,
724
00:36:42.420 --> 00:36:42.980
the cops.
725
00:36:43.460 --> 00:36:44.039
Females?
726
00:36:44.590 --> 00:36:47.960
Sorry, the cops. The cops made it their business to
727
00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:52.000
be around as much as possible. Seeing me, they got
728
00:36:52.139 --> 00:36:55.110
out of the cruiser, our cops generally come in pairs,
729
00:36:55.630 --> 00:36:59.230
and asked me what was up. Oh, I thought I
730
00:36:59.289 --> 00:37:02.070
heard some kids playing in the window wells, is all
731
00:37:02.130 --> 00:37:04.730
I said, but I was grateful they came with me.
732
00:37:05.329 --> 00:37:08.170
We found nothing, and I convinced myself I had just
733
00:37:08.230 --> 00:37:12.179
given into a case of the heebie-jeebies. Nothing more happened
734
00:37:12.219 --> 00:37:15.480
that night. But almost every night after that, I would
735
00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:18.639
grow sad in that room. Things would get moved, and
736
00:37:18.659 --> 00:37:22.210
I'd hear the banging on the windows. I talked to
737
00:37:22.250 --> 00:37:25.469
my mom, the only person I knew wouldn't think me
738
00:37:25.530 --> 00:37:27.130
daft about it. Me daft.
739
00:37:27.329 --> 00:37:28.030
Me daft.
740
00:37:28.489 --> 00:37:31.389
She looked at me and said, Try talking to it
741
00:37:31.590 --> 00:37:36.610
or them. Ask if there's something you can do. Meanwhile,
742
00:37:36.690 --> 00:37:40.469
summer vacation had begun, and I was now on days.
743
00:37:41.250 --> 00:37:43.809
It could be two things, actually. Yeah, that's one of them. Yeah.
744
00:38:03.250 --> 00:38:06.070
Look for weeds and smoke them. Got it.
745
00:38:06.110 --> 00:38:07.989
Look for people smoking weed and grab them.
746
00:38:08.349 --> 00:38:11.380
All right, kids. All right. As I was wandering about,
747
00:38:11.440 --> 00:38:14.420
the two old ladies who lived Kitty Corner?
748
00:38:14.539 --> 00:38:15.719
I thought it was Catty Corner.
749
00:38:15.940 --> 00:38:19.460
Well, she wrote Kitty Corner. Okay. Kitty Corner, the school,
750
00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:23.789
came over with a glass of lemonade for me. They
751
00:38:23.809 --> 00:38:26.309
were very sweet relics of a time gone by. I
752
00:38:26.610 --> 00:38:28.619
would guess them to be in their late 70s, early 80s.
753
00:38:30.300 --> 00:38:34.429
They introduced themselves as Emma and Amelia. They told me
754
00:38:34.489 --> 00:38:36.769
how much the school had changed since they went there.
755
00:38:37.710 --> 00:38:39.510
I took a leap of faith and asked them if
756
00:38:39.610 --> 00:38:45.050
anything bad had happened there. Oh my, yes, came the reply.
757
00:38:46.010 --> 00:38:49.130
This is what they told me, and try as I have,
758
00:38:49.250 --> 00:38:53.210
I cannot confirm it, but it makes sense. Their family
759
00:38:53.250 --> 00:38:56.449
had lived there for generations. In fact, their father had
760
00:38:56.489 --> 00:39:00.920
gone to school there back in the early 1800s. reportedly,
761
00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:04.820
he's the one who told them this story. It seems
762
00:39:04.900 --> 00:39:07.119
the teacher had to leave the room for some reason.
763
00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:10.079
Rumor had it that she had a, and the word
764
00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:13.760
is dalliance? Uh.
765
00:39:13.889 --> 00:39:14.389
With.
766
00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:16.409
A male teacher. You can guess, you can infer what
767
00:39:16.429 --> 00:39:17.389
dalliance means with that.
768
00:39:17.409 --> 00:39:19.369
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know what dalliance means.
769
00:39:19.409 --> 00:39:21.489
What is it? Look it up, nerds!
770
00:39:21.630 --> 00:39:22.010
Okay.
771
00:39:22.429 --> 00:39:23.730
Alright. You don't know what it is. Got it.
772
00:39:23.809 --> 00:39:26.590
It means a casual, short-term romantic or sexual relationship or
773
00:39:26.610 --> 00:39:28.369
a brief, non-serious involvement in an activity.
774
00:39:28.550 --> 00:39:29.050
There we go.
775
00:39:29.550 --> 00:39:33.289
Just say a romance. Sorry, go ahead.
776
00:39:33.309 --> 00:39:36.110
But to ensure her young charges stayed put, she had
777
00:39:36.170 --> 00:39:40.320
wedged a chair under the doorknob. While she was gone,
778
00:39:40.380 --> 00:39:43.179
an ember from the fireplace set the room ablaze and
779
00:39:43.219 --> 00:39:48.219
the youngsters, unable to get out, perished. He said that
780
00:39:48.260 --> 00:39:51.030
the windows had to be replaced because they had beaten
781
00:39:51.070 --> 00:39:53.849
the glass so hard that it was stained with their
782
00:39:53.909 --> 00:39:59.909
blood and it wouldn't wash off. This was repeated to
783
00:39:59.969 --> 00:40:02.630
me with great sincerity and I believe that they were
784
00:40:02.730 --> 00:40:06.630
actually told this story. Emma finished the story with, and
785
00:40:06.670 --> 00:40:09.829
that woman, their teacher, never seen or heard from again.
786
00:40:11.170 --> 00:40:14.409
Amelia was uttering something like, oh, those poor sweet lambs.
787
00:40:15.250 --> 00:40:19.429
Suddenly she turned to me. Have you heard them? I
788
00:40:19.510 --> 00:40:22.610
stared at her. The children, I mean. Have you heard them?
789
00:40:23.570 --> 00:40:24.449
No, I get what you meant.
790
00:40:25.010 --> 00:40:27.150
Just then, one of the guys yelled at me to
791
00:40:27.250 --> 00:40:30.510
quit goofing off and get back to work. Gotta go,
792
00:40:30.849 --> 00:40:34.199
I said. Thanks so much for the lemonade. I became
793
00:40:34.260 --> 00:40:36.760
friends with the two women and was saddened when Emma
794
00:40:36.820 --> 00:40:39.920
passed on that summer and family placed Amelia in a
795
00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:44.619
nursing home. Fall came and once again, I was back
796
00:40:44.679 --> 00:40:48.480
to nights. I took my mom's advice, and based on
797
00:40:48.500 --> 00:40:51.489
the assumption that the story I heard was true, I
798
00:40:51.550 --> 00:40:56.550
began talking out loud when cleaning that classroom. Sometimes I
799
00:40:56.630 --> 00:41:00.570
told children stories or sang songs. I never could keep
800
00:41:00.610 --> 00:41:03.050
a chair in the doorway long, and closing the door
801
00:41:03.130 --> 00:41:06.179
was out of the question. I am not claustrophobic, but
802
00:41:06.219 --> 00:41:08.039
closing that door made me feel panicky.
803
00:41:08.059 --> 00:41:09.760
I can't imagine why.
804
00:41:10.039 --> 00:41:12.179
I told the kids that I was sure their parents
805
00:41:12.239 --> 00:41:14.519
were waiting for them, and they were free to go.
806
00:41:15.780 --> 00:41:21.119
The noise lessened considerably, and I think some did. But
807
00:41:21.480 --> 00:41:24.019
there was one night, I was on the second floor
808
00:41:24.110 --> 00:41:26.150
about to go into one of the rooms when an
809
00:41:26.309 --> 00:41:30.250
odd noise came in from overhead. A kind of squeaking.
810
00:41:31.309 --> 00:41:34.610
I looked up and saw nothing. As I stepped over
811
00:41:34.650 --> 00:41:39.730
the threshold, I heard a very loud child's voice yell, No!
812
00:41:39.949 --> 00:41:44.320
And was shoved hard backwards. I actually ended up on
813
00:41:44.380 --> 00:41:48.119
my tush. when it sounded like all hell broke loose
814
00:41:48.159 --> 00:41:51.719
in that room. The overhead fixtures had given way and
815
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:55.139
laid on the floor, some hanging at weird angles propped
816
00:41:55.219 --> 00:41:59.590
by chairs and tables. The plaster ceiling was more debris
817
00:41:59.670 --> 00:42:03.750
covering everything. My mouth fell open as I viewed the mess.
818
00:42:04.710 --> 00:42:07.590
One or two steps more, I started shaking a bit.
819
00:42:08.210 --> 00:42:11.750
I remember thinking, thank God school wasn't in session, and
820
00:42:11.809 --> 00:42:14.150
I felt a small pair of arms circle my waist
821
00:42:14.230 --> 00:42:19.110
and hug me. I whispered thank you, then ran for
822
00:42:19.150 --> 00:42:24.409
the phone to report the fallen ceiling. So, whatever it was.
823
00:42:24.429 --> 00:42:26.329
Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, I got that.
824
00:42:27.010 --> 00:42:29.929
Other things happened while I worked there too, but this
825
00:42:30.030 --> 00:42:31.460
is the most significant thing.
826
00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:38.619
I'd say. That's wild. Oh, that's insane. That's so sad.
827
00:42:39.239 --> 00:42:43.199
Who the fuck, like, at that point, just let a
828
00:42:43.300 --> 00:42:48.409
couple of your kids escape. Like, they're not prisoners. You can't, like,
829
00:42:48.489 --> 00:42:52.500
lock them in there like that. Mm-hmm. And also, yeah,
830
00:42:52.539 --> 00:42:54.679
you'd never see her here for me again if I
831
00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:56.179
caused the death of a group of kids. There's no
832
00:42:56.260 --> 00:42:56.900
fucking way.
833
00:42:56.920 --> 00:42:57.780
Yeah.
834
00:42:57.820 --> 00:43:00.980
Of course you never heard from her again. Like, damn. Oh,
835
00:43:01.019 --> 00:43:01.559
my God.
836
00:43:02.219 --> 00:43:03.320
Yeah, sorry. That was pretty heavy.
837
00:43:03.559 --> 00:43:09.079
No, that's wild. And, like, because at first I misinterpreted
838
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:11.500
what had happened because I was like, I thought it
839
00:43:11.539 --> 00:43:14.079
was an angry no and, like, push, and then I
840
00:43:14.139 --> 00:43:17.409
thought there was, like, paranormal stuff that caused like a
841
00:43:17.429 --> 00:43:19.030
bunch of rucks in the room and then no it
842
00:43:19.070 --> 00:43:21.849
was a fallen ceiling and was being saved like she
843
00:43:21.869 --> 00:43:26.340
was being saved oh man no yeah i mean that
844
00:43:26.360 --> 00:43:29.199
just goes to goes to show you something that i
845
00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:32.269
know we've talked about a while Like, for a while
846
00:43:32.289 --> 00:43:36.329
in this podcast, this is not all, like, demons and mischief. Like,
847
00:43:36.389 --> 00:43:39.269
some of these spirits are, like, real people, and you
848
00:43:39.289 --> 00:43:41.610
should always be treated as such.
849
00:43:41.789 --> 00:43:42.170
I agree.
850
00:43:43.349 --> 00:43:46.219
With the kindness you would treat, like, a living person,
851
00:43:46.260 --> 00:43:46.570
you know?
852
00:43:46.590 --> 00:43:47.199
Mm-hmm.
853
00:43:48.940 --> 00:43:51.780
No, I like that one. That was good. That was
854
00:43:51.820 --> 00:43:52.159
a good one.
855
00:43:53.300 --> 00:43:54.019
Any thoughts, Bea?
856
00:43:55.699 --> 00:44:01.559
The thought of their little hands being on that glass...
857
00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:09.960
and bleeding is just tearing me the fuck up. Like that's,
858
00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:11.619
that's all I can think about right now.
859
00:44:12.239 --> 00:44:17.610
Sorry. It was a really good story, but that's, that's
860
00:44:17.909 --> 00:44:21.469
all I can think about right now. So this was
861
00:44:21.510 --> 00:44:27.449
a long time ago, right? Yeah. Um, O.P., When you
862
00:44:27.489 --> 00:44:29.909
go on your ghost stories and you look at a post,
863
00:44:30.250 --> 00:44:33.730
it says this author is a blank, blank, blank. This
864
00:44:33.849 --> 00:44:34.389
one was.
865
00:44:34.409 --> 00:44:35.170
Piece of shit.
866
00:44:35.210 --> 00:44:39.809
Yeah. Basically. No, no. So it'll be like a young
867
00:44:39.849 --> 00:44:40.449
adult male.
868
00:44:40.829 --> 00:44:41.130
Oh, okay.
869
00:44:41.170 --> 00:44:43.809
This one was an elderly woman.
870
00:44:43.989 --> 00:44:44.590
Oh, I see.
871
00:44:44.949 --> 00:44:48.980
So she had worked here basically as a young adult, whatever.
872
00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:49.400
Oh, wow.
873
00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:54.840
And she heard the stories from... these neighboring women who
874
00:44:54.880 --> 00:44:57.880
were in their eighties. Yeah. And then it was from
875
00:44:57.980 --> 00:45:01.579
their father. Yeah. So this was, this was generations.
876
00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:01.960
Yeah.
877
00:45:02.400 --> 00:45:02.639
Okay.
878
00:45:02.659 --> 00:45:05.280
That's been going on for such a long time. Damn.
879
00:45:05.539 --> 00:45:08.519
And, um, curiosity.
880
00:45:08.539 --> 00:45:09.380
Yeah.
881
00:45:09.500 --> 00:45:10.239
Hell of a thing.
882
00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:11.440
Oh, I believe it.
883
00:45:11.800 --> 00:45:14.360
So if you guys are ready, I'd like to discuss
884
00:45:14.500 --> 00:45:14.980
my photo.
885
00:45:15.019 --> 00:45:15.780
Let's do that. Yeah, please.
886
00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:17.380
So in 1868, the new West side high school, uh,
887
00:45:22.150 --> 00:45:25.409
met on the third floor of Old Stone School. So
888
00:45:27.730 --> 00:45:29.090
there's a reason why I'm telling you this.
889
00:45:29.289 --> 00:45:29.989
Okay. Okay.
890
00:45:31.349 --> 00:45:34.659
It was called Oak Street back then, but they renamed
891
00:45:34.719 --> 00:45:38.400
it since for reasons you could probably guess.
892
00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:38.820
Of course.
893
00:45:39.619 --> 00:45:46.500
This building was constructed in 1852 and greatly expanded in 1865.
894
00:45:46.500 --> 00:45:49.789
The school stood on the site of today's Todd Elementary
895
00:45:49.869 --> 00:45:53.179
School at Oak and New York Streets. And remember, this
896
00:45:53.219 --> 00:45:57.360
is all in Illinois. In 1870, the first graduating class
897
00:45:57.409 --> 00:46:00.369
was compromised of five members, four girls and one boy.
898
00:46:00.389 --> 00:46:06.050
And in June of 1884, this could be the same fire.
899
00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:08.940
It could be another one. But it says in June
900
00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:14.300
of 1884, the old stone school was destroyed by fire. Damn. So,
901
00:46:15.590 --> 00:46:18.500
immediately thereafter, and I got this straight from the government website,
902
00:46:18.539 --> 00:46:18.960
by the way.
903
00:46:19.139 --> 00:46:19.400
Okay.
904
00:46:19.579 --> 00:46:22.420
Of the city of, I forget, it's Illinois, but it's
905
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:25.599
a city there. I think it's like West Aurora or something.
906
00:46:27.239 --> 00:46:30.739
Immediately thereafter, a beautiful new brick building called Oak Street
907
00:46:30.780 --> 00:46:33.719
School was built at the same location. So, this is
908
00:46:33.780 --> 00:46:37.079
when OP worked there. It was called Oak Street School.
909
00:46:37.500 --> 00:46:37.840
Okay.
910
00:46:38.139 --> 00:46:43.679
It cost $ 45, 000 to construct and opened in January of 1885.
911
00:46:43.869 --> 00:46:46.449
High school classes were held on the second floor of
912
00:46:46.489 --> 00:46:50.510
that building. Oak Street School burned down on November 7th,
913
00:46:50.510 --> 00:46:54.829
1906 and was rebuilt in 1907. So that place burned
914
00:46:54.889 --> 00:46:59.309
down twice. It burned down again? Yes. Holy shit. In 1906,
915
00:46:59.309 --> 00:47:02.570
a three-story West Aurora High School was constructed at the
916
00:47:02.610 --> 00:47:05.550
corner of Galena Boulevard and Black Hawk Street. So they
917
00:47:05.590 --> 00:47:05.949
moved it.
918
00:47:06.260 --> 00:47:08.639
Okay. Yeah. They're like, enough of this specific spot.
919
00:47:08.780 --> 00:47:10.320
The Ohio Reformatory.
920
00:47:10.340 --> 00:47:11.179
Huh?
921
00:47:11.400 --> 00:47:12.599
The Ohio Reformatory. Okay.
922
00:47:12.739 --> 00:47:12.940
Yeah.
923
00:47:13.039 --> 00:47:14.340
Oh, yeah. How it keeps burning down.
924
00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:14.719
Yeah.
925
00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:17.869
So I went and I got pictures of the school
926
00:47:17.989 --> 00:47:19.090
from the website.
927
00:47:19.329 --> 00:47:19.590
Sure.
928
00:47:20.750 --> 00:47:23.130
I'm like, I'm fairly certain. I mean, they said Oak Street.
929
00:47:23.409 --> 00:47:24.010
Yeah. School.
930
00:47:24.230 --> 00:47:28.610
So I'm fairly certain this is the school. I do apologize.
931
00:47:29.320 --> 00:47:30.739
I got this a while ago.
932
00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:32.199
So you're having to look for it?
933
00:47:33.179 --> 00:47:34.960
Well, it's in the album. It's just.
934
00:47:35.820 --> 00:47:38.559
Back there. Oh, trust me. I get that. I always
935
00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:40.639
try to have them ready to go because I use
936
00:47:40.679 --> 00:47:42.090
my tablet now to tell my stories on.
937
00:47:42.119 --> 00:47:45.510
It's not necessarily... I'm posting it. It's just not good quality.
938
00:47:45.750 --> 00:47:49.010
Oh, I see what you mean. Okay, that's fine. I mean,
939
00:47:49.050 --> 00:47:49.769
it is what it is, right?
940
00:47:50.210 --> 00:47:52.230
Yeah.
941
00:47:52.469 --> 00:47:53.590
I'm waiting with bated breath.
942
00:47:53.630 --> 00:47:54.710
With bated breath.
943
00:47:56.909 --> 00:47:59.980
That is quite a chunky picture. You got me there.
944
00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:04.980
Well, it's from the website, so... Yeah. Now, that is...
945
00:48:05.449 --> 00:48:07.630
The architecture is pretty old there. Yeah.
946
00:48:07.949 --> 00:48:09.369
It's got a fucking belfry.
947
00:48:11.329 --> 00:48:12.710
Yeah, it does.
948
00:48:12.730 --> 00:48:16.489
Yeah, that's a big school. Three stories is still insane
949
00:48:16.510 --> 00:48:19.670
to me. Yeah. Me and Bea had a large school,
950
00:48:19.710 --> 00:48:21.260
and it was only two stories.
951
00:48:21.739 --> 00:48:25.840
Yeah. So there's been a lot of school fires in Chicago.
952
00:48:26.980 --> 00:48:29.940
When I looked it up, there's, like, Lady of Angels.
953
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:32.039
There's... There's been a lot of fires in general, I think,
954
00:48:32.079 --> 00:48:32.320
in Chicago.
955
00:48:32.360 --> 00:48:33.579
In Chicago, yeah.
956
00:48:34.199 --> 00:48:34.960
So, yeah.
957
00:48:35.710 --> 00:48:39.920
So here's the thing. I, when I was doing my research,
958
00:48:40.719 --> 00:48:43.420
I had started in the comments of the post and
959
00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:45.800
the comments was where I figured out exactly where the
960
00:48:45.840 --> 00:48:50.059
school was located because somebody found that it was district
961
00:48:50.059 --> 00:48:53.090
129 or maybe it was OP. I think it was OP.
962
00:48:53.179 --> 00:48:56.170
It was district 129. But yeah, I have several things here.
963
00:48:57.789 --> 00:49:08.170
Let's see. I am going to have to copy and
964
00:49:08.190 --> 00:49:09.480
paste because it's still in the picture thing.
965
00:49:09.500 --> 00:49:10.300
Yeah, yeah, do that, do that.
966
00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:16.989
So let's do this one. And it's just little history
967
00:49:17.050 --> 00:49:18.230
things from the website.
968
00:49:19.030 --> 00:49:19.969
Okay, that's interesting.
969
00:49:20.239 --> 00:49:28.280
Okay yeah so all right so when it was rebuilt
970
00:49:28.340 --> 00:49:29.820
i guess they got rid of the bell.
971
00:49:30.420 --> 00:49:33.059
It seems like it yeah um.
972
00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:37.480
But yeah it's like the old stone school it's even
973
00:49:37.519 --> 00:49:43.449
got like um The superintendent's picture on there. Sure. The
974
00:49:43.510 --> 00:49:46.719
dated things. It's a little crunchy, but it's straight from
975
00:49:46.760 --> 00:49:47.469
that website.
976
00:49:47.489 --> 00:49:48.719
Yeah.
977
00:49:48.760 --> 00:49:49.420
What's the website?
978
00:49:49.440 --> 00:49:53.980
I feel like school websites, they keep the formats of
979
00:49:54.039 --> 00:49:56.539
whatever early 2000s website they were using.
980
00:49:56.659 --> 00:50:02.159
It's sd129. org. Okay. Which is schooldistrict129. org slash district slash history.
981
00:50:05.610 --> 00:50:09.000
And that's where I came up with all this information, basically.
982
00:50:09.019 --> 00:50:09.699
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
983
00:50:09.719 --> 00:50:12.239
I'm sorry, I'm still stumbling over stuff. I wrote this,
984
00:50:12.659 --> 00:50:16.840
or I guess I put everything together over a month
985
00:50:16.900 --> 00:50:19.320
ago for this one. So it's just all kind of
986
00:50:20.639 --> 00:50:24.260
somewhere in my brain. It's not very current. So I'm
987
00:50:24.320 --> 00:50:28.210
putting together, okay, where was this? What was this? And yeah,
988
00:50:28.269 --> 00:50:29.030
that's what I found.
989
00:50:29.050 --> 00:50:31.829
It's really interesting. I really like that story. Obviously, I
990
00:50:31.829 --> 00:50:34.650
don't like anything that happened in it, but it's very...
991
00:50:35.449 --> 00:50:36.829
Very interesting, you know?
992
00:50:36.989 --> 00:50:40.849
Mm-hmm. Oh, I agree. That's all I have.
993
00:50:41.050 --> 00:50:42.349
No, I like that. That was cool.
994
00:50:42.869 --> 00:50:43.590
I don't like that.
995
00:50:43.610 --> 00:50:45.650
That was sad. No, I don't like that. That was sad.
996
00:50:45.690 --> 00:50:46.610
You're right, but like.
997
00:50:47.090 --> 00:50:47.949
It's interesting.
998
00:50:48.030 --> 00:50:48.309
Yeah.
999
00:50:48.510 --> 00:50:49.489
History always is.
1000
00:50:49.710 --> 00:50:50.679
For sure, for sure.
1001
00:50:50.699 --> 00:50:54.739
All right, any.
1002
00:50:56.079 --> 00:50:56.389
What's up?
1003
00:50:57.900 --> 00:50:58.960
How long is your story?
1004
00:50:58.980 --> 00:51:00.900
Not very.
1005
00:51:01.880 --> 00:51:02.139
Okay.
1006
00:51:04.300 --> 00:51:04.519
Oh, okay.
1007
00:51:06.239 --> 00:51:08.659
Just a heads up. Okay. If you want to snip
1008
00:51:08.679 --> 00:51:09.519
that part, sorry.
1009
00:51:09.539 --> 00:51:14.199
I will. All right. Well, B, if you have nothing
1010
00:51:14.260 --> 00:51:16.900
else to contribute to that, then what do you have today?
1011
00:51:16.940 --> 00:51:20.019
Thank you, hun. Yeah, that was a really interesting story.
1012
00:51:21.159 --> 00:51:23.639
Well, digging around through Reddit again, as I usually do.
1013
00:51:23.980 --> 00:51:24.519
No way.
1014
00:51:24.699 --> 00:51:27.699
I found a subreddit called r slash I don't work here, lady.
1015
00:51:29.460 --> 00:51:31.570
All right. Already on it. Already love this. Big fan.
1016
00:51:32.110 --> 00:51:35.400
This post is titled, You can't fire me. I don't
1017
00:51:35.460 --> 00:51:39.920
work here. All right. I didn't know there was a
1018
00:51:39.940 --> 00:51:41.840
subreddit for this, but I got a story I just
1019
00:51:41.889 --> 00:51:43.949
have to share because my friends and I laugh over
1020
00:51:43.989 --> 00:51:50.889
it so much. Note, this story was wrote by OP
1021
00:51:51.690 --> 00:51:54.239
like this August. Okay. Last month.
1022
00:51:54.300 --> 00:51:54.489
It's fresh.
1023
00:51:54.510 --> 00:51:55.639
I thought you were going to give us a fucking
1024
00:51:55.679 --> 00:51:57.300
trigger warning. I was like, B, fuck you.
1025
00:51:57.380 --> 00:51:57.739
No, no, no.
1026
00:51:57.780 --> 00:52:02.199
No trigger warnings. When I go out shopping, I commonly
1027
00:52:02.219 --> 00:52:04.619
get mistaken for a worker there. This has happened to
1028
00:52:04.639 --> 00:52:08.739
me at Costco, Walmart, Target, and even local franchises like
1029
00:52:08.820 --> 00:52:09.639
Meyers and Woodman.
1030
00:52:09.659 --> 00:52:10.619
They just wear red a lot. You got a very
1031
00:52:10.639 --> 00:52:12.820
worker looking face. You got a very NPC looking face.
1032
00:52:12.840 --> 00:52:14.659
They probably wear red shirts too.
1033
00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:15.199
You too?
1034
00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:18.780
I was told it's the way that I walk. So
1035
00:52:18.800 --> 00:52:21.960
there was one time this lady stopped me in Dillard's.
1036
00:52:22.639 --> 00:52:25.739
I was not wearing anything remotely like what they wear
1037
00:52:25.840 --> 00:52:29.440
in Dillard's, but I had on like a pair of slacks,
1038
00:52:29.539 --> 00:52:33.039
I think. And I was walking with a purpose. And
1039
00:52:33.159 --> 00:52:35.519
she stopped me, asked if I was a manager, and
1040
00:52:35.539 --> 00:52:39.000
I told her, no, I don't work here. And she goes, oh,
1041
00:52:39.059 --> 00:52:41.699
you were walking so confidently. I thought you ran this store.
1042
00:52:43.820 --> 00:52:45.739
That would have kept me, like, happy the rest of
1043
00:52:45.760 --> 00:52:45.980
the day.
1044
00:52:46.019 --> 00:52:47.219
Oh, it did. I think about it.
1045
00:52:47.260 --> 00:52:48.159
This happened years ago.
1046
00:52:48.219 --> 00:52:53.659
I think about it all the time. Hell yeah. Sorry.
1047
00:52:55.119 --> 00:52:57.760
Before you ask. No, I do not try to wear
1048
00:52:57.840 --> 00:53:00.300
colors that match the store employees. In fact, I try
1049
00:53:00.340 --> 00:53:02.980
to do the opposite. I will literally be wearing all
1050
00:53:03.019 --> 00:53:04.679
black in a store and someone will come up and
1051
00:53:04.739 --> 00:53:06.510
ask me where something is thinking I work at the
1052
00:53:06.530 --> 00:53:09.269
store and I know. If I know where the item is,
1053
00:53:09.349 --> 00:53:12.250
I obviously try to help out and give them general directions.
1054
00:53:12.769 --> 00:53:15.269
And if I don't, I apologize and say that I
1055
00:53:15.289 --> 00:53:17.610
don't work there and that I typically don't shop there
1056
00:53:17.650 --> 00:53:20.980
much either. While I was at my favorite local Target
1057
00:53:21.019 --> 00:53:23.610
last month, in the beauty aisle stocking up on my
1058
00:53:23.630 --> 00:53:26.530
favorite body wash. And a middle-aged woman comes up to
1059
00:53:26.570 --> 00:53:29.090
me and very rudely asked me where an item was.
1060
00:53:30.070 --> 00:53:32.159
In her defense, I was moving body wash out of
1061
00:53:32.179 --> 00:53:33.780
the way because I couldn't find the scent that I
1062
00:53:33.820 --> 00:53:36.639
liked and wanted to make sure it wasn't behind another scent,
1063
00:53:37.059 --> 00:53:40.039
so maybe it looked like I was stocking shelves. And,
1064
00:53:40.159 --> 00:53:41.800
of course, I happened to be wearing a red shirt.
1065
00:53:43.489 --> 00:53:47.150
I smiled and apologized, saying I wasn't sure where that
1066
00:53:47.230 --> 00:53:49.630
item was, but before I could say I didn't work here.
1067
00:53:50.190 --> 00:53:52.269
She cut me off and said it was my job
1068
00:53:52.690 --> 00:53:54.250
and I needed to look it up for her.
1069
00:53:54.710 --> 00:53:54.829
Ugh.
1070
00:53:55.050 --> 00:53:55.409
All right.
1071
00:53:55.550 --> 00:53:58.530
I dropped my smile, told her that's not my job,
1072
00:53:59.119 --> 00:54:02.219
to which she scoffed and said, oh, I'm sorry, I
1073
00:54:02.239 --> 00:54:02.820
lost my place.
1074
00:54:03.599 --> 00:54:04.260
You're just reading.
1075
00:54:04.900 --> 00:54:07.099
I dropped my smile and told her that's not my job,
1076
00:54:08.460 --> 00:54:11.059
to which she scoffed and said my manager would hear
1077
00:54:11.079 --> 00:54:14.500
of this. And I said, look, I don't work here,
1078
00:54:14.559 --> 00:54:17.590
so I can't help you. She, of course, scoffed again
1079
00:54:17.650 --> 00:54:19.329
and walked away, and I went back to picking up
1080
00:54:19.349 --> 00:54:22.349
my things before heading to the self-checkout. I paid for
1081
00:54:22.389 --> 00:54:25.190
my stuff and went on my merry way. Before leaving,
1082
00:54:25.309 --> 00:54:26.809
I heard someone very call out.
1083
00:54:27.449 --> 00:54:27.750
Mary?
1084
00:54:28.090 --> 00:54:28.610
I heard someone.
1085
00:54:31.320 --> 00:54:35.480
Before leaving, I heard someone very loudly call out, Excuse me!
1086
00:54:36.300 --> 00:54:38.519
right as I was walking out the door. I turned
1087
00:54:38.559 --> 00:54:40.420
my head and noticed the woman who stopped me earlier
1088
00:54:40.519 --> 00:54:43.659
was at the returns desk, but I kept walking. Where
1089
00:54:43.679 --> 00:54:46.659
do you think you're going? someone behind me yelled. and
1090
00:54:46.699 --> 00:54:48.760
I turned around, receipt in hand, to show I paid
1091
00:54:48.800 --> 00:54:51.239
for my stuff. You realize you're not.
1092
00:54:51.179 --> 00:54:52.179
In proper uniform.
1093
00:54:52.539 --> 00:54:55.940
You do know that's grounds for termination. This woman in
1094
00:54:55.980 --> 00:54:58.619
a Target shirt, presumably a manager, looks me up and
1095
00:54:58.659 --> 00:55:01.840
down in my red shirt and shorts, and at this point,
1096
00:55:02.000 --> 00:55:05.269
I'm dying laughing inside. How can she not tell that
1097
00:55:05.289 --> 00:55:08.690
I don't actually work here? I didn't know I needed
1098
00:55:08.730 --> 00:55:11.929
a uniform to shop here, was my answer. Yes, I
1099
00:55:11.969 --> 00:55:13.670
know it probably would have been better to tell her
1100
00:55:13.769 --> 00:55:15.789
I didn't work for her, but I found the whole
1101
00:55:15.829 --> 00:55:17.699
thing so funny and kind of wanted to see how
1102
00:55:17.760 --> 00:55:21.039
far this manager would go. You think you're so funny,
1103
00:55:21.159 --> 00:55:25.039
don't you? The manager said to me in response, to
1104
00:55:25.079 --> 00:55:27.280
which I shrugged and said, well, I don't work for you,
1105
00:55:27.340 --> 00:55:28.579
so I don't know why it matters.
1106
00:55:28.780 --> 00:55:29.219
Right.
1107
00:55:29.780 --> 00:55:32.730
Her angry face fell and she looked me up and
1108
00:55:32.769 --> 00:55:36.829
down again. My purse in hand, car keys out, bag
1109
00:55:36.849 --> 00:55:40.829
full of stuff and receipt out. I am so sorry.
1110
00:55:40.949 --> 00:55:42.429
You're damn right you are.
1111
00:55:43.050 --> 00:55:44.929
That woman pointed you out and I thought you were
1112
00:55:44.969 --> 00:55:48.750
someone else. I shrugged again and said, maybe you should
1113
00:55:48.789 --> 00:55:51.309
pay more attention to what your actual employees look like.
1114
00:55:51.329 --> 00:55:54.110
So the next time Karen comes and tries to get
1115
00:55:54.190 --> 00:55:56.590
one fired, you don't try to fire someone who doesn't
1116
00:55:56.630 --> 00:56:00.030
work here. She just nodded and turned around.
1117
00:56:00.429 --> 00:56:03.130
Because what do you say? You fucked up.
1118
00:56:03.489 --> 00:56:06.590
The Karen watched the whole exchange from the door's And
1119
00:56:06.659 --> 00:56:09.460
a guy around my age walking into Target just laughed
1120
00:56:09.519 --> 00:56:13.280
hysterically as I went to my car triumphantly, feeding two
1121
00:56:13.360 --> 00:56:16.219
Karens in one day, before treating myself to a trip
1122
00:56:16.300 --> 00:56:17.409
to Michael's craft store.
1123
00:56:17.699 --> 00:56:20.389
As you should. That was funny as shit. That was
1124
00:56:20.449 --> 00:56:21.929
really fucking funny. Hey.
1125
00:56:22.480 --> 00:56:23.630
Hey, I know we're about to end.
1126
00:56:23.639 --> 00:56:25.380
I know, I know. Let's finish up real quick. Let's
1127
00:56:25.420 --> 00:56:25.579
do it.
1128
00:56:25.579 --> 00:56:27.949
But it's a frappuccino. It's cold. It's frozen.
1129
00:56:27.969 --> 00:56:30.230
All right, I will go get it. You guys finish
1130
00:56:30.309 --> 00:56:30.909
up for me then.
1131
00:56:30.929 --> 00:56:34.210
Okay. I'll be right back. All right. Well, I ordered
1132
00:56:34.869 --> 00:56:36.929
a very cold drink, and so Brandon's going to go
1133
00:56:37.329 --> 00:56:44.039
get that from the porch. Well, you guys can find
1134
00:56:44.159 --> 00:56:48.019
us on Face... Yeah, I haven't done my picture. We
1135
00:56:48.059 --> 00:56:54.510
haven't done our... Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's your picture? My
1136
00:56:54.590 --> 00:56:57.030
picture is actually just me in my red work shirt.
1137
00:56:59.550 --> 00:57:01.449
I work at one of the red stores, so here's
1138
00:57:01.489 --> 00:57:02.889
me in my red work shirt.
1139
00:57:03.630 --> 00:57:04.190
Beautiful.
1140
00:57:04.409 --> 00:57:05.989
Thanks. You're so pretty.
1141
00:57:06.030 --> 00:57:07.090
Thanks.
1142
00:57:08.190 --> 00:57:10.829
Appreciate you. That was funny. That was a good uplifting. Sorry,
1143
00:57:10.849 --> 00:57:12.829
I forgot that pictures were a thing for a second.
1144
00:57:13.510 --> 00:57:15.530
Good God, I'm just so excited for this drink that
1145
00:57:15.570 --> 00:57:20.300
I ordered. Oopsies. All righty. Welcome back. He's back. Welcome back.
1146
00:57:20.320 --> 00:57:21.409
Is this a picture yet?
1147
00:57:21.420 --> 00:57:22.159
Yes, it is. All right, cool.
1148
00:57:22.800 --> 00:57:25.820
It's a selfie. Oh, is it? Give. Yeah, because I
1149
00:57:25.860 --> 00:57:28.239
work at one of the red t-shirt stores, so it's
1150
00:57:28.300 --> 00:57:31.219
a picture of me in my red work shirt. You
1151
00:57:31.260 --> 00:57:34.340
know what? Just take the back. I was wondering what
1152
00:57:34.360 --> 00:57:35.039
the fuck you were doing.
1153
00:57:35.579 --> 00:57:41.380
My best. Always my best. Okay. Let me take a
1154
00:57:41.409 --> 00:57:43.309
look at this here picture that I am finally back.
1155
00:57:43.570 --> 00:57:44.289
Sorry, I'm a menace.
1156
00:57:45.030 --> 00:57:48.630
Oh, I believe it. Hey! You love me, though. That
1157
00:57:48.670 --> 00:57:49.329
is a selfie.
1158
00:57:49.670 --> 00:57:50.769
You love me, though, right?
1159
00:57:50.829 --> 00:57:55.050
I love you so much. Okay. B?
1160
00:57:55.869 --> 00:57:56.050
Yep?
1161
00:57:57.449 --> 00:58:01.090
Not for nothing, but you have submitted so many pictures
1162
00:58:01.159 --> 00:58:08.480
of yourself as your story picture. At least compared to us,
1163
00:58:08.500 --> 00:58:14.480
because I don't think we've done it ever. I would
1164
00:58:14.539 --> 00:58:16.780
say it's more than once. I think it's been a
1165
00:58:16.880 --> 00:58:18.539
couple different times, actually.
1166
00:58:18.559 --> 00:58:22.730
They can't help that they're beautiful.
1167
00:58:22.750 --> 00:58:25.730
But you know what? I love that for you. I'm
1168
00:58:25.809 --> 00:58:28.469
happy for you. And yeah.
1169
00:58:30.239 --> 00:58:32.820
You guys want your food? I thought it was perfect
1170
00:58:32.840 --> 00:58:35.420
because I work at a red shirt store. So here's
1171
00:58:35.460 --> 00:58:36.909
a picture of me in my red shirt. Yeah, it
1172
00:58:36.929 --> 00:58:37.170
was perfect.
1173
00:58:37.190 --> 00:58:37.469
It was perfect.
1174
00:58:37.510 --> 00:58:37.809
You know what?
1175
00:58:37.829 --> 00:58:39.409
I can't argue with that. You're right on that.
1176
00:58:39.429 --> 00:58:41.449
You guys want your snack or you want it after?
1177
00:58:41.489 --> 00:58:43.170
We'll wait a second. We're almost out of here. You
1178
00:58:43.190 --> 00:58:45.260
actually got me a snack? You actually got me a snack?
1179
00:58:45.280 --> 00:58:46.880
They already said they'd get you a snack. They didn't
1180
00:58:46.900 --> 00:58:48.019
say they'd get me a snack. I didn't know you
1181
00:58:48.039 --> 00:58:48.579
were serious.
1182
00:58:49.480 --> 00:58:51.119
Okay, yeah, you better hurry up and do this outro.
1183
00:58:51.679 --> 00:58:52.880
You guys better hurry up and do the outro.
1184
00:58:52.940 --> 00:58:57.190
Anyway, you guys can find us on Instagram, Facebook, Blue Sky,
1185
00:58:57.230 --> 00:58:58.590

1186
00:58:58.610 --> 00:58:59.389
Fuck Twitter.
1187
00:58:59.889 --> 00:59:00.949
TikTok.
1188
00:59:01.010 --> 00:59:01.670
On the clock.
1189
00:59:02.349 --> 00:59:05.309
