Hello and welcome to episode 29 of Drinks and.
Speaker 2Dates Podcast, where we drink and talk about things.
Speaker 1I'm Alicia.
Speaker 2And I'm Carver.
Speaker 1What are you drinking, Carver?
Speaker 2I'm drinking Crown Royal Peach with Coke. What are you drinking, Alicia?
Speaker 1I'm drinking Crown Royal Vanilla with Coke.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, Vanilla is good. I'm gonna try the peach.
Speaker 1I guess we're gonna find out.
Speaker 2That's actually really good. Really, let me try. That's actually really good.
Speaker 1Let me try. Oh my God.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Unlocked a new thing Coke and Peach. Crown Royal.
Speaker 2Coke wants to put out peach flavor. You know they can get in contact with us.
Speaker 1Yeah, thank you. You're welcome for the idea.
Speaker 2Make sure you patent it, so that we get our money.
Speaker 1Yeah, what happened for you this week, carver?
Speaker 2This week. Well, what happened for both of us was death race the worst weekend of the year.
Speaker 1Or the best weekend of the year. I'm mutating you sleep both.
Speaker 2If you come here it's probably fine, but when you live here it's like God damn it, Because now it's not as bad as it used to be.
Speaker 1But basically, there's it's not as bad as it used to be, and it's also not as good as it used to be.
Speaker 2Well, I mean specifically the traffic.
Speaker 1Oh yeah.
Speaker 2And stuff like before. I think the town's population literally triple.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's getting that way again. It's getting popular again, yeah, but there's no concert.
Speaker 2It used to have a concert and all these stuff going on, big festival thing.
Speaker 1Now it's kind of it was a petting zoo and a lemonade stand.
Speaker 2Yeah, there's a lemonade stand. Some of those mini donuts.
Speaker 1Which is what we look forward to every single year. That lemonade stand is mint.
Speaker 2Lemonade stand is really good. There's also this Hawaiian food truck that you weren't able to eat anything from.
Speaker 1Yeah, which is a little sad. It was called Flying Hawaiian and its menu looked really freaking good.
Speaker 2So it had coconut, it had coconut. We can't go to Hawaii, can we?
Speaker 1We can, I just can't.
Speaker 2Do anything or eat anything or go anywhere.
Speaker 1I just can't have coconut.
Speaker 2So you can't do anything or eat anything or go anywhere. I guess I don't think it's that bad.
Speaker 1They have spam.
Speaker 2Oh, they have spam.
Speaker 1Yeah, they love spam in Hawaii Do you know what spam stands for.
Speaker 2No Shoulder of pork and ham.
Speaker 1Oh.
Speaker 2Because back in the day when they made it, I guess pork shoulder was just thought of as this like garbage cut of meat. Just definitely not what it is anymore.
Speaker 1The more you know.
Speaker 2There you go. Now you know, that's your fact for the day. Shoulder of pork and ham spam Huh.
Speaker 1The more you know.
Speaker 2Anyway.
Speaker 1Anyway, death race was actually really good for me this year, also really bad for me this year. So you take it out with what you will.
Speaker 2There's like two festivals. This is the other thing. There's two festivals. There's Death Fest, which is the one the town puts on for like tourists, and then there's Ridge Fest, which is just some restaurant in town called the Ridge puts it on, and that's where all the locals go. Yup, and it's like way better because there's no insane amounts of people.
Speaker 1Well, there's always an insane amount of people like I work at one of the local hotels and we have been fully booked for that weekend since December of last year and we already got like 12 or 13 bookings the day that, like I had, I had Monday off, but we already had like so many bookings.
Speaker 2Yeah, my friend wanted to come to town for the weekend. He's like I'm going to go to a hotel with a jacuzzi.
Speaker 1Like good fucking luck, buddy. No, you're not buddy.
Speaker 2This place has been booked solid for two years. Buddy.
Speaker 1Yeah fuck. But Death Race was good because I got to interview four racers for the Mountain Cache podcast.
Speaker 2And he also got to go into like a real studio.
Speaker 1Yeah, I got to go into like a real recording studio and like be recorded with Adobe Edition and like it was real freaking fancy.
Speaker 2You know this setup that we have, that's just a couch in our half streaming, half half recording.
Speaker 1Yeah, so it was a lot fancier than I ever dreamed of, and I am really excited because I think they want to work with me further. Sorry for our dog. I'm just looking, I'm seeing not a whole lot, doesn't even doesn't even spike the thing.
Speaker 2Maybe it won't be so bad.
Speaker 1Yeah, so I got to work with the Wilmore Wilderness Foundation and they let me into their professional recording studio where they do all their voiceovers for their films and, like it was crazy, and I think they want to work with me further on this podcast Cool, which is really really cool, do?
Speaker 2you know what that entails.
Speaker 1No, I don't Okay. It was just an idea that I had with the lady that owns it and she's kind of she's out of town, she's on her tropeline, so she's out in the Wilmore somewhere and so we're going to chat when she comes back, hopefully.
Speaker 2Not going to happen with this podcast, though I don't think she wants no. She doesn't want us bringing in, like whatever we bring in to drink, and all that at her studio.
Speaker 1Yeah, no kidding, have a mini party. Yeah, eventually we'll get there. We're going to take this a little bit more seriously because we have some news for you guys.
Speaker 2We're doing weekly now.
Speaker 1We're going weekly, weekly. Motherfuckers, let's go.
Speaker 2Let's go hard.
Speaker 1Let's go hard Go hard in the paint. Yep, you're a hoofener.
Speaker 2Go hard in the shoulder of pork and ham.
Speaker 1Go hard in the spam. Anyway, that's kind of what happened for us this week.
Speaker 2Oh, and I'm allergic to something. My eyes have been itchy for three days.
Speaker 1Sad.
Speaker 2Sucks, sadge. It's getting better now.
Speaker 1That's good. Sorry if you can hear our dog. He's having a tantrum because we left him downstairs with my mother.
Haunted Canada
Speaker 2We don't let him in here anymore. He completely screwed up one of our episodes last episode actually, we had to record it twice, yep, which was actually a blessing in disguise, because you were basically falling asleep at the end.
Speaker 1Oh man, I was so tired.
Speaker 2And it was.
Speaker 1I was so tired after this weekend. My whole job was guest relations. This weekend I literally just had to talk to people.
Speaker 2You just had to be friendly.
Speaker 1I just had to be friendly and my social battery is really small. It's really powerful but really tiny.
Speaker 2Yeah, you're like the Milwaukee one amp hour battery. It's like, yeah, lots of power, but only for a little bit.
Speaker 1Yeah, exactly, and so I slept like all day Monday.
Speaker 2Like all day. You literally did. I came home at 4.30 and you were on the couch.
Speaker 1I was just passed out. I even got up previously. I got up to go paint and then I was just like I need to lay down.
Speaker 2So just this is a sleep day.
Speaker 1Yeah, it was good though I caught up. So yeah, uh, carver.
Speaker 2Yes.
Speaker 1What are we talking about?
Speaker 2Talking about we're doing Haunted Canada. Finally.
Speaker 1Finally About time. We're sorry, it took us this long.
Speaker 2What the fuck you guys? Yeah, what the fuck Carver? Why the fuck would it take this long?
Speaker 1I know, I know what you're thinking. I know we promised we were going to do it last episode and we were supposed to catch up on it earlier, but like Carver was at school and I had a bunch of shit going on.
Speaker 2We've tried doing episodes at school before. It's just not great.
Speaker 1Yeah, recording for us over Google Meets is really hard because Carver doesn't have a good mic.
Speaker 2I have the same mic here. The mic wasn't the issue. I own the same one that we're using here now. What it is is like the internet is so Spotty. Yeah, it was like so bad. Now, the year before it wasn't so bad because I was on the bottom floor, but this year I was on the top floor and my internet was like always cutting in and out.
Speaker 1Yeah, it was really hard to talk to him on like discord and stuff.
Speaker 2Yeah, so that it just wasn't going to happen.
Speaker 1Anyway, we're back on our bullshit. Haunted Canada number five.
Speaker 2Alberta BC, nova Scotia.
Speaker 1Ontario.
Speaker 2Ontario.
Speaker 1Yeah, ontario, nova Scotia, no.
Speaker 2Ontario we've smelled before Nova Scotia LMNO.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, I don't know how to alphabet, I'm sorry. I'm trying to remember what. No New Brunswick.
Speaker 2Yeah, it was New Brunswick. That's what it was, because it was Because that.
Speaker 1Alberta, BC, New Brunswick.
Speaker 2Then Newfoundland and Labrador.
Speaker 1No, this is our fourth one.
Speaker 2This is our fifth one what did we do after New Brunswick?
Speaker 1Oh God, we're fucking this up. We're sorry, bowser's like literally losing his fucking no.
Speaker 2I'm pretty sure Manitoba Was it Manitoba.
Speaker 1Manitoba was number three in the New Brunswick and now number five is.
Speaker 2Newfoundland and Labrador. Oh, it was Manitoba, then New Brunswick, then Newfoundland and Labrador.
Speaker 1Yeah, we're going alphabetical.
Speaker 2That's right.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2Okay, that's what we're doing.
Speaker 1Haunted Canada number five baby Newfoundland and Labrador. Why don't you start us off?
Speaker 2Sure. So I've got like one story and like two. I don't know if they're folktales, I guess Cryptids, that's what we call them cryptids. They're not cryptids. Spooky things, Spooky things, yeah, the first one I'll do is one in Labrador. So in Labrador there's this ghost called Old Smoky. Now, from what I could tell, he's kind of a thing everywhere.
Speaker 1I'll just play the Jeopardy music until you get here, not as here. Yeah, just stay here. Stay here, not as here. Cool, now he's just going to be barking outside that store.
Speaker 2I don't know if he'll do it sometimes in our bedroom. He seems to understand.
Speaker 1Okay, Old Smoky.
Speaker 2Old Smoky. So Old Smoky is Okay. So the story goes like this he's a dog sled operator. If I ever ask anyone, it will begin when it's just sheepish on one end hanging down on one. He抽s sheep's disappeared cat.
Speaker 1That guy needs it as well. What Driver? What? Oh my god, put him in here.
Speaker 2I think what it is, we're talking.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2He can hear us talking.
Speaker 1You gotta be quiet. No, you gotta be quiet Sit.
Speaker 2Lay down, lay down.
Speaker 1Lay down Good enough.
Speaker 2Okay, take three. Take three. A little smoky he was. The story goes like this he was like a dog sled. I guess leader would be a better word for it.
Speaker 1Leader driver.
Speaker 2Driver Dog sled. He had a dog sled.
Speaker 1He had a dog sled.
Speaker 2Yeah, he had a dog sled and he died.
Speaker 1Oh, third one.
Speaker 2He fucking died.
Speaker 1And then Well, I mean, this is a podcast episode about ghosts, so I'd fucking hope that he's dead. Anyway, the story goes.
Speaker 2The story goes like this he's died. He has to pay for his sins in his life. I couldn't figure out what he did. That was so fucking awful, but apparently he has to pay for it. So what he does is he's is. He warns people about bad weather, bad events coming, but not like in a way that a typical. It's not really like you hear him and you're gonna die. It's more like you hear him and you know to get the fuck out of there.
Speaker 1Oh.
Speaker 2And so there's stories. Basically, what happens is you'll be outside or whatever, and you'll hear a whip start cracking. Oh, you know, that's all smoky. See here a whip crack.
Speaker 1You'll hear a whip crack.
Speaker 2Does that sound gonna be the worst thing in the world. I'd really rather him do that than something else.
Speaker 1Anyway.
Speaker 2So you hear a whip crack and that basically means bad weather's coming Big snowstorm, whatever. And a couple of the stories that I heard, it was like a father and a son and they've both heard old smoky before and, just to the story is, both times you hear the whip crack you run home Big white out, snowstorm, crazy. They would have definitely gotten lost in and definitely Big snowstorm. They would have definitely gotten lost in and they would have definitely potentially been killed in Crazy. So all smoky is there to Protect. He protects Because he did something awful when he was alive, apparently.
Speaker 1Maybe he kicked a dog.
Speaker 2Very bad.
Speaker 1Anybody who kicks a dog deserves to die a horrible death. Right, yeah, that's right, bowser.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1So like is he? He's just like a good spirit.
Speaker 2I guess so Just warns you of bad weather and stuff coming.
Speaker 1Crazy.
Speaker 2Warns you to go home.
Speaker 1Go home.
Speaker 2Some people claim to have seen him, but as far as I can tell, it's not really a specter. You see, it's more one-y here.
Speaker 1Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 2And again, I didn't really see anywhere specifically he would have been from. It's just a thing in Labrador.
Speaker 1So, oh yeah, okay, so am I okay to go ahead.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's it for now.
Speaker 1Okay, so mine is kind of straight from the horse's mouth so I don't know if you know this. You probably don't if you're listening from anywhere outside of Canada. Joel A Sutherland writes these books called Haunted Canada. Funny enough, he documents stories from all over Canada and kind of puts them all in anthology.
Speaker 2We own it. There's like nine books.
Speaker 1No, I don't know, there's 12.
Speaker 2There's 12 books now.
Speaker 1Yeah, so we have nine, and then 11, 10 and 11.
Speaker 2Meanwhile you look it up on Google and half the time you can't find anything.
Speaker 1Right. So the one that I'm looking at right now is the voices in the vaults in St John's, luftham, latin Labrador. So it's I'm not going to read the whole thing verbatim, but it's basically like sometime in the late 1800s, two men who are both employees of New Men and Company, an import-export trade company has been shipping goods since the early 1500s decided to have a glass of Newman's famed port wine, which was strictly forbidden. Employees were not allowed to drink the product.
Speaker 2Get high on your own supply.
Speaker 1Yeah exactly. They found an old, unmarked bear and figured nobody would notice that they took one glass from it. The moment they popped the lid off in an earthly moan echoed through the tunnel, the men froze. After a moment they realized they were still alone and dismissed the sound as nothing but their nerves and the wind. So one glass became two, and then three, four and five. As he went to fill up his cup for the sixth time, there seemed to be something submerged in the barrel. He handed the cup to his friend and shook the barrel and attempt to see what was hidden at the bottom. Moaning filled the vaults, this time so loud. There could be no mistake. He reached his hand into the port wine. He pulled out this mystery object. Can you guess what it was?
Speaker 2A head.
Speaker 1A human head.
Speaker 2Nice, I actually didn't know that that was a guess.
Speaker 1Yeah, it was a human head.
Speaker 2Head wine.
Speaker 1They had six glasses of this wine. Apparently, another Newman and company employee had aboard the ship that was sailing from England to Newfoundland and his head had been preserved in an unmarked barrel of port for the journey home, although the two men who discovered the head in the barrel heard a ghost but didn't see it. Another employee encountered a spirit in the flesh or, so to speak, only a few years later A spirit in the flesh.
Speaker 2I guess, isn't that Noxymoron?
Speaker 1Yeah. However, you can still feel cold spots and like spooky atmosphere, and on June 18th 2011, a lady named Karen Hanlon caught one of the Newman wine vaults ghosts on camera.
Speaker 2Nice. I wonder if, while they were drinking the wine before they discovered the head, they were like, wow, this is the best wine I've ever had.
Speaker 1Yeah, like I would cry, it's so scary.
Speaker 2I'd be like, oh, I probably threw up.
Speaker 1I would have thrown up.
Speaker 2Yeah, I thought I had six glasses. They're like wow, this is like. I've never had a flavor like this before.
Speaker 1Oh, it's disgusting.
Speaker 2Oh, my God.
Newfoundland's Haunted Tales and Legends
Speaker 1So that's, that is, the voices in the vaults, but apparently you somebody caught a video of a fun on camera. There's no link to said video. I don't think it was posted anywhere.
Speaker 2It probably wasn't a video, then they probably just made it up.
Speaker 1Well, it wouldn't have been posted.
Speaker 2Why not?
Speaker 1I don't know, 2011. And I don't know. It just feels like something nobody would post on YouTube Because, like nobody records as much as they do today 2011. 2011. 2011. Yeah, but like vlogs and like TikToks and shit where like everybody's recording everything all the time is like not as popular back then.
Speaker 2Vlogs were really big back then.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2Yeah, whatever.
Speaker 1Oh, and we found out today that the guy that writes these books actually has a YouTube channel.
Speaker 2I've known about it the whole time. I've just kept that information from you.
Speaker 1Fuck you.
Speaker 2Rude, not on purpose. I just kept on forgetting. I've been telling this, I've been using that. Like every time I've looked up stories for this thing, I just Google it. Then I saw you had a YouTube channel. I was like nice.
Speaker 1Nice, you just left me to flounder.
Speaker 2You're the one that owns all the books. We own the books. They're ours, I guess.
Speaker 1What is your next story?
Speaker 2My next story takes place in Belle Island.
Speaker 1Belle Island.
Speaker 2Newfoundland. Newfoundland and this story was aptly titled Swamp Hag, swamp Hag. That's how. I knew I had to do it. So look me a good Swamp Hag.
Speaker 1So my favorite monsters and the Witcher.
Speaker 2Yes, I also hear that Hinton's full of them. No, Swamp Monsters. That's what it was Swamp Monsters If you look up on Urban Dictionary of Hinton.
Speaker 1I don't want to. If it's Urban Dictionary, I don't care it says you will be R-worded by Swamp Monsters.
Speaker 2Anyway, back to Belle Island.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2So this story it was, oh, this story was supposedly one of the scariest that Joel A Sutherland there has ever heard, which I mean maybe and it involved this potato farmer who was, like I guess, so engrossed in his work.
Speaker 1His name was Nathaniel, wasn't it?
Speaker 2Yeah of picking potatoes.
Speaker 1Picking potatoes.
Speaker 2That he didn't realize everyone had left and he was alone. Oh no, and so he just kept on plugging away, I guess, and then he smelled like sulfur in the air.
Speaker 1Gross.
Speaker 2And like dingy swamp water in the air.
Speaker 1And like rot.
Speaker 2Yeah, and he looked up and there's and this you know walking corpse. Looked at him. It was just staring at him and I guess now that's a legend. Belle, I let, don't go out at night when you're alone, because this lady will harass you and give you nightmares for the rest of your life.
Speaker 1I made some notes.
Speaker 2It was Dobbins Garden. That's what it was Dobbins Garden on Belle Island. When he saw her, he actually collapsed and she hovered above him. And as she was hovering above him, her skin was peeling off of her skull and instead of having eyes, she just had like pits, as they as they always do.
Speaker 1Gross, didn't she like come back to avenge her death, or whatever?
Speaker 2That's what she says. She says she's coming back to avenge her death. I don't know why harassing random potato farmers will do that, we'll avenge your death. But whatever, and the story is that just before 1943, a woman got lost and died in the swamp and she cursed out the locals who did not come for her To save her.
Speaker 1Brutal.
Speaker 2Now, were there any locals around? I have no idea.
Speaker 1Who knows, newfoundland is a mysterious place.
Speaker 2Another one that I was doing was just a quick one that also takes place on Belle Island. There's apparently a lot of haunted mineshafts. Crazy 106 people in Belle Island died in coal mines.
Speaker 1All I can think about when I think of coal mines is called God's Vapalacia Nice.
Speaker 2Yeah, haunted mineshafts and swamp eggs.
Speaker 1Interesting Belle Island's pretty spooky y'all.
Speaker 2Supposedly the most haunted place in Canada.
Speaker 1Oh god, I have hiccups. So the year is 1745. The place St John's, newfoundland. The location was a house that a beautiful young woman called home Some years before a man named Pettyhem started renting it. Betrayal jealousy, the stage is set.
Speaker 1So this guy was coming home from a friend's place and he noticed like a strange glow. As he got closer he saw what looked like a silhouette of a person staring, standing at the end of the street near his front door. Could this be the culprit that's been trying to get into his house? He could see. He stepped a few steps closer and then froze, absolutely terrified. He could see that the tall figure before him was a man with no head and he bolted back up the street and around the first corner, trembling, he pounded the door of a nearby rooming house and begged to be let in. The owner let him in and managed to calm him down enough to find out what happened. Only then did he learn of the beautiful woman who used to live in his house and the two men who had loved her. One had been a neighbor, the other tall, a tall, handsome English sea captain who would visit her whenever he docked ship in St John's Harbor. And then, yeah, apparently he like died and now he doesn't have a head. He fucking died, guys.
Speaker 2Yeah, oh, pennyham had just seen the sea captain's ghost.
Speaker 1The others- in the neighborhood had seen it before, and still others would see it again because this dude was murdered, but the murderer was never caught. So Dun, dun, dun dun, and we need a sound board for this. Well, like when details like that come out.
Speaker 2I can be like boom Dun dun yeah Um.
Speaker 1So do you have another one?
Speaker 2No, that was it.
Speaker 1Okay, so this one is Ghost Sailors of the Charles Haskell in Grand Banks, newfoundland and Labrador. So 17 year old George W Scott was one of three Nova Scotians aboard the American built Schooner Charles Haskell when it sailed for the cod-rich Grand Banks in March of 1866. The rest of the crew was from Glau-Kester, massachusetts. On March 6th, with a fear storm brewing, the Haskell Can I see that name that you just pronounced Glau-Kester. I think it's.
Speaker 2Glau-Kester.
Speaker 1Glau-Kester, I don't know Well, there's like a poem in everything. In a desperate attempt to avoid collision, the Haskell's captain gave another order to cut the anchor rope. With barely a minute to spare, the ship drifted out of harm's way, but it was now out of control and heading straight at another anchor schooner, the Andrew Jackson. Every other instance of two ships ramming each other in such a storm. Both had been doomed. But in the early hours of March 7, 1866, when the two schooners collided, andrew Jackson sank with all hands on board and the Charles Haskell stayed afloat with crew members left horrified but uninjured.
Speaker 1So there's like a poem by Harry L Marcy called the Ghostly Crew, and it was included in Fisherman's Ballads and Songs of the Sea published by Proctor Brothers of Glau-Kester, massachusetts. Its 20 verses are written the first person, as if the Haskell crew members were telling the tale. The eighth stanza refers to the earlier accident, the trip before our schooner she was on George's then ran down another vessel and sunk her and her men. Two stanzas later, the sailor narrator begins to describe how horrifying scene unfolded.
Speaker 1For in the dim, dark watches I felt a chilly dread, come on me. Just as if I heard one calling from the dead and oar our rail. They they're clamored, all silent, one by one, a dozen dripping sailors just wait till I am done. Right on the deck, they clamored and not a voice we heard. They moved about before us and never spoke a word. Their faces pale and sea wet, shown ghastly through the night. Each took place as fairly as if he had a right, but was the same, poor fellows. I think God rest their souls that our old craft run under it that time on George's sholes. And there you have my story. And was just as I say, and I've believed the spirits since that time anyway. So there's like a whole ship of dead men.
Speaker 2Just in the bottom of the ocean. I.
Speaker 1Think there's probably a lot more than just one ship of dead men. At least three at least three At least there's gotta be. I mean the Titanic. Titanic the Titanic, the Andrew Jackson. And the ship that at least one other ship, the Titanic sister, I think, was one that's sank the. Olympic, yeah, the Olympic I.
Speaker 2Thought what it was was the conspiracy theory that the Olympic was renamed the Titanic because of some something and so it's actually the Olympic that sank and not the Titanic.
Speaker 1But that's all I have. All the stories all the stories well, not all the stories. There's like a lot. There's a lot in these books. I highly recommend these books to anybody that likes spooky stories, but they're written for children, just so you know. There's no like gruesome details.
Speaker 2Yeah, there's not there.
Speaker 1It's. It's supposed to be like a young readers novel like it's published by Scholastic. Yeah, it's published by Scholastic and you get a.
Speaker 2Now remember you're getting them through book orders and stuff.
Speaker 1You got book orders.
Speaker 2You didn't get book orders. No, why?
Speaker 1not. My parents were not. I'm not gonna get into that.
Speaker 2Oh, but your school had book orders Okay.
Speaker 1My school ordered a lot of books because of me, because I had a different book every like three days. So they ordered a lot of books for me, which I'm very, very grateful for. It caused my big brain, but what are we gonna talk about next time? I don't know I don't know I've been going down the rabbit hole.
Speaker 2What's the rabbit hole?
Speaker 1the rabbit hole of the bearded man of Atlantis.
Speaker 2I'm listening.
Speaker 1I think we should cover that next episode.
Speaker 2Okay, as long as you take the lead, because I've never heard of this before in my life.
Speaker 1Yes, you have? We literally listened to a mysterious universe about it? Oh, but that's what they're called the bearded man of Atlantis.
Speaker 2Really the dinosaur fuckers.
Speaker 1No, the mini gods of me.
Speaker 2Oh, okay.
Speaker 1That was. That was the episode of the mysterious universe. In case anybody's interested is the mini gods of me. It's about the like how, like every culture in the Pacific Rim has a story of these five guys that show up in a boat and they're all fair skin and bearded.
Speaker 2Oh, now, jesus Christ. How'd I forget that?
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Yes, I remember you want to. You want to look into that and cover that.
Speaker 1I want to cover that a little bit, yeah okay. We'll also cover a little bit of other things, probably, but the mini gods of me, like, literally, like I've had like several conversations about it and it's just come up organically.

So we got to do that. And If you have any spooky stories or any Weird encounters maybe you've been abducted by aliens Fuckin let us know. Send them to us at drinks and things. Pod at gmailcom. We would love to read out your stories, seriously absolutely we love all that spooky shit.
