Episode 25 - Thunder at Waterloo and Dawn at Shiloh Battlefield

Napoleon thought he had one more win in him. The Union army thought it had time to sleep in. History, as it turns out, had other plans.

In this episode, we stumble (possibly haunted) across two of the most chaotic battlefields ever: Battle of Waterloo and Battle of Shiloh. One ends an emperor’s dreams in a muddy Belgian field, the other starts with a surprise attack that basically said, “good morning, here’s war.”

But here’s where it gets… weird.

We’re talking ghostly footsteps in the fog, soldiers swearing they heard voices in the night, and battlefields that, if you believe the stories, never really went quiet. Was it just stress, smoke, and sleep deprivation… or something a little more unexplainable lingering in the aftermath?

Expect dark humor, eerie tales, questionable decisions (looking at you, everyone involved), and just enough history to make you sound smart at parties.

Because nothing says “fun” like two of the bloodiest wake-up calls in history… and the possibility that they’re still echoing.

SPEAKER_00 0:00

I'm Alex, and I'm Megan. And we are two filthy whores. You're all beyond the veil now.

SPEAKER_01 0:18

Happy, happy hour. Hi guys. You got anything for us? Or do you want me to go first? I actually do. Ooh, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_00 0:25

Okay, so yeah, I do have a few things. First and foremost, we hit a thousand downloads with 22 episodes. Yes, fuck yes. That is so cool.

SPEAKER_01 0:33

We love our listeners too. Thank you guys so much. Like, seriously.

SPEAKER_00 0:37

Yeah, and it's just it's fun that people want to listen to us, just be us. And um, I'm really proud of us because it's not been easy, and I wouldn't change it or do this with anyone else. So I'm grateful for what I have and who I have.

SPEAKER_01 0:51

I am too. I'm so glad we did this. Uh I love doing it. And it's like, I mean, sometimes like I'm like, oh my god. But for the most part, like even when I am, oh my god, like I I love doing it. It's just like uh it's like a task. It's like one that you know, you know what I mean? Like it's a fun task, it's one I love to do. But sometimes when you're like in the thick of it, like and then you have to do research and then find time to record that matches with both of our schedules, and I'm like, oh my god. But but yes, it's so worth it, it's so fun. And then not only that, like we have all the scheduling conflicts, but then we also have fucking tech difficulties, yay! And sometimes the typical IT turn it off and turn it back on doesn't always work. So it's true. Actually, for me, when I turn it off and back on, it makes it worse. So every time I every time my computer turns off, it like disconnects all my audio and like stuff I had to reconnect it. Oh my god, I might puke.

SPEAKER_00 1:49

No, don't do that.

SPEAKER_01 1:51

I don't know what happened.

SPEAKER_00 1:52

I heard that. I heard it, I heard your gurgle. I hope you're okay. Um my gosh. While while Megan is collecting herself, I do have another thing that I wanted to talk about really quick. And I did already tell Megan this because I was so embarrassed that I had to tell someone while it was happening. But today I met up with a friend and we got some coffee at this like cute little coffee shop. And I was standing in line. Well, first and foremost, I went inside and I was just waiting for my friend. And I um was standing in line because I really wanted to order like a small chai and some buffalo chicken dip because they just have the best buffalo chicken dip. And I was standing there and I was in line for so fucking long, and I felt like people were looking at me, but I was like, no, like surely no one gives a shit that I'm just standing, like no one's looking at me. But then I fucking turn around to see if my friend's in there, and I see this couple and they're laughing at me, and then they put their head down, and I'm like, oh my god, like that's definitely targeted towards me. That is like a nightmare though, like that's like everyone's nightmare.

SPEAKER_01 3:01

Oh, I to be like, oh, everyone's looking at me. No, they're not, and then you literally see people laughing at you, and then you're like, fuck, they are.

SPEAKER_00 3:07

Yes. So I fucking ordered my food and uh and my drink, and they call like my order whenever it's up, so it's fucking packed in there, so I have to go like stand off to the side, but I finally find like a little chair, and I sit down in it and I put like my Kindle down and my water and everything and my keys and my purse. And this sweet woman who was laughing at me earlier comes over to me and she's like, Sweetheart, I know I'm a stranger. I'm so sorry. I just need to let you know your pants are on inside out. I was like, What the hell? I was like, Thank you so much for telling me. And so I f like I went into the bathroom. It took me a while because this little girl was like in there fucking playing in the water in the bathroom. Love that. So I finally was able to go into the bathroom and I was like, wait, how did they know that my leggings were on inside out? I look in the mirror. Bitch, I have a fucking tag in the middle of my ass crack. It's not even like the top of my crack, it's like middle of my crack, just a tag sticking out, flying in the wind. Oh my god, I was so embarrassed. I didn't even know what to do with myself. I texted Megan immediately while I was waiting to change my pants because I was so scared. Like, I well, not scared, but like I was just so embarrassed. But I laughed it off and like I just kept looking at my phone every time I would like tell her or like I was texting Tyler about it too. I was just giggling because that's like really the only thing I can do. Because what do you do in a situation like that? But yeah, everybody was staring at me, they saw my butt tag, they saw my pants inside out. Very embarrassing, but it is what it is.

SPEAKER_01 4:40

I'm so sorry that that happened to you, and thank you. Huge shout out to that woman who did have the the guts to come up to you and tell you and said that stupid ass couple who fucking giggled at you like children. Shame on them.

SPEAKER_00 4:52

There was a few of them in there.

SPEAKER_01 4:53

I understand. There was a few of them. I do so embarrassed. Like giggling a little bit. Like, I get it. Like, if I saw it, I would love to. Oh, it's funny.

SPEAKER_00 4:59

But then I would go up to you. Bitch, I went in the bathroom and laughed. Yes, like nobody let me know except for her. And I was like, Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.

SPEAKER_01 5:07

Like, that's a girl's girl right there. Someone needs to buy her.

SPEAKER_00 5:10

I was thinking the same thing. I do have one other thing, and Megan is she has been dying for me to talk about this, and it's finally the time.

SPEAKER_01 5:19

Fuck yes.

SPEAKER_00 5:20

So I am pregnant. Congratulations! We got the middle baby on the day. Yes, I am pregnant with my first baby, so that's super exciting. I'm about 13 weeks now, so I'm heading into the second trimester, and thank God because it has been has been pretty rough.

SPEAKER_01 5:40

Yeah, you've had a hard time of it. I get it. Um, I've been and it's been hard for me because like I want to help you, but we live decently far apart. And also, like sometimes help is like letting you be, you know what I mean? And I don't know when I should just let you be and when I should bug you. So it's like I know it's hard to juggle. But uh I think we make it work, so oh yeah, no, we we we do fine.

SPEAKER_00 6:06

But if you've listened to the podcast and I'm like fucking wheezing or I'm out of breath, that is why. I didn't expect to be so out of breath this early on, but like, dude, I walk up the stairs and I'm out of breath. Like it's embarrassing, but I think it's because of the blood volume, like being doubled or something. I I'm not certain, but yeah, yeah, it's been um it's been interesting. We did find out the gender about two nights ago. So you know. I know. Okay. Ah, it's exciting. Okay, be careful so you don't fuck up and say anything. I know. I'm so scared. I'm like so nervous to accidentally slip up in front of people. And if I do, I'm hoping I can just be like, oh, um, like, you know, he or she, like something like that. Like I can just like I don't make a reaction or something. Honestly, yes.

SPEAKER_01 6:51

If you if you accidentally say something, like don't don't even acknowledge it. Like be like say like yeah, don't be like uh, oh shit, or don't the very next sentence like say you say he or sh or him first, the next sentence you say is say she or her. That way, and then whenever they call you out, just be like, oh yeah, I was purposely doing that because I don't want anybody to know what we're having yet. So just try to do that.

SPEAKER_00 7:18

Because I fuck up like all the time with other stuff. I'm so scared. Yeah, I'm so scared.

SPEAKER_01 7:23

That's why I didn't want to know before our gender reveal party because I knew I knew you know how I am. I will slip up all the fucking time, and I was like, don't I'm like, you just reveal it to me. I don't want to know or I'll give it away.

SPEAKER_00 7:35

So And that's so valid, and I love you for that because I am I am the same way you are, and I did not do that.

SPEAKER_01 7:41

I know, I was gonna say something to you too, but I didn't want to intrude. I couldn't really want to. I couldn't sleep.

SPEAKER_00 7:48

Yeah, so I couldn't sleep. Like it was Thursday night, and Tyler was doing some drywall, and I was sitting on the porch playing Animal Crossing because it was so nice that night, and I got the notification on my chart that we got the results back from like the NIP team, which tests for like um other chromosomal issues and everything, and everything came back like really low risk, so I'm so grateful for that. Um, but as soon as I got the um notification on my phone, I ran off the porch, ran into the house outside, and I was like, I just smiled at him and he was like, Did we get the results? And I was like, Yeah. And so we had to go to Martin's and get like pink and blue flowers, and we just like made our own little bouquets and stuff and did what we wanted to do. Cause like I found out about the baby first, so I wanted him to find out about the gender first and then tell me. Like, so he just handed me like the bouquet of flowers, and we recorded it, so we can show people um when the time comes. I'm so excited for you guys. I sobbed. I just like it was just so crazy, like, cause no matter what that gender would have been, I would have cried no matter what, just knowing how I can put like like a uh more of a how I can see my life picture, yeah, your future like how my life is gonna look like over the next few years.

SPEAKER_01 9:02

Because now you're gonna be like satisfied for a tiny bit knowing if you're having a boy or girl. Like you for a little bit you're gonna be like, oh fuck yeah, like I know what I'm having. And then all of a sudden, something's gonna click for you, and I hate to tell you this, I'm so sorry. Something's gonna click, and and you might already have started for you, but you're gonna itch to know what they look like. Like, I remember constantly being like, I wanna know, like, because I was having a boy, I was like, I wanna know what he looks like. I wanna see his face. I want is he gonna have chubby cheeks? Is he gonna have like hair? Like, what's he gonna look like? I was dying to find out like what his giggle would sound like and his cry. Like, I was so excited to hear those things and see those things. So it's gonna click, and you're I mean, not that you don't want to, but you like it's gonna be like this extreme need that's gonna keep you up at night.

SPEAKER_00 9:49

So I bet I mean Tyler and I we're already like Are they gonna have red hair and blue eyes? Are they gonna have red hair and brown eyes? Are they gonna have brown hair and blue eyes? Like, we don't know because our mind and Tyler's features are drastically different.

SPEAKER_01 10:06

Yes, you've you're very different features.

SPEAKER_00 10:08

Yeah, so I just I don't know, but I'm really excited. Like, hopefully, we can have more than one kid too, and maybe we can get like a mix of both of us in there. But yes, finally I'm pregnant. It took a a while. We went to a fertility clinic, and luckily, um luckily that worked on the first try because we really thought we were gonna have to spend way more money than what we did.

SPEAKER_01 10:32

I know it usually doesn't work for people, but I told you I had the strongest feeling it was gonna work for you guys.

SPEAKER_00 10:37

I know you did. Do you remember the fucking rainbow I saw coming home from my appointment? Yeah, like that. Like I I know because I sent I sent Megan like it was the most like beautiful rainbow I've ever seen in my life. I was leaving my appointment, I was about to start the medication, and I saw the craziest fucking rainbow ever, and I sent it to Megan, and she was like, That's a sign. She was like, You're getting your baby, and I was like, Okay. And I ran with it.

SPEAKER_01 11:00

Yeah, I knew it. I was like, you got it. But uh No, I was gonna say something else I don't remember what the hell I was gonna say about the baby. Oh well. I don't know. I just gonna say if you remember, let me know. Okay. I just know I'm super excited. Oh, you have pretty high chance. Like blue brown eyes are very dominant, and I know like probably our listeners probably like they're like, okay, get on with the show. But anyway, brown eyes are very dominant, but I will say I have brown eyes and Ben has green, like hazel eyes. But yeah, you have a high risk of having like blue eyes too because like your side of the family like my mom had brown eyes, but you have a different mom and she doesn't have brown eyes. So you come from a line of like blue-eyed people.

SPEAKER_00 11:43

So I know because it does go based on parents and you and your spouse. It's very weird how that like genetic works.

SPEAKER_01 11:51

Yeah, I'm very curious what your actual percentage would be. I can't. I remember doing those like box things in like high school bio the pennett Punnett Squares, yeah. Yeah, but I can't like I I'm not gonna do it right now, but I am curious what No, do it right now.

SPEAKER_00 12:04

I can't remember how to do it. Um, no, I yeah, my section of Yappy Hour is really long. I'm so sorry. This is the last thing I'm gonna say, but um Tyler's mom literally still doesn't know because she's down south, but she is coming home for Easter, so we're gonna tell her then, and then we're gonna like post it on Facebook and everything. And this comes out after that, so the cat will be out of the bag by then. But yeah, that's basically what's new. Spoiler alert, guys. We're kind of new with me. Yeah, sorry, you didn't know like such a spoiler alert.

SPEAKER_01 12:36

Surprise, surprise. We've talked about it like five episodes now, but I just want you to know that sometimes we do record them ahead of time. Not all the time, sometimes we've done it. We just want to keep you on your toes. True. But how are you, Megan? How is life going for you? I'm doing great. We took Ben to an Easter egg hunt that had like it was like a huge community thing. I mean, there was like hundreds of people there, and we've we go often to this one. And this time there's like probably three times as many people there as there usually is. It was crazy. But they have bounce house castles and like people dressed up as superheroes and princesses and stuff like that to take pictures with with the kids, and then they have the huge Easter egg hunt. It's really fun. Yeah, a lot of families go, Ben is unfortunately getting older. I mean, that is unfortunately, but it is also unfortunate because he almost didn't want to do the Easter egg hunt. Like he was excited about it, and then when we got there, he didn't want to do it anymore. And he's getting that like edgy, like not I don't want to say edgy, like he's getting more self-conscious, like more aware of things, and like doesn't want to do kid things, so that's a little bit devastating. But next week we're gonna try taking him to this one that um we're gonna take him to a second one. We went to this one this weekend because we were worried about this one next weekend because thousand, like a thousand some people go to it and we didn't want to risk us not being able to get there. Oh yeah. But it's at a safari. Ooh. And they drop Easter eggs from a helicopter. And like just drop, like you get like freaking loads of Easter eggs dropped. It's so fun. They have like over 40,000 eggs they're dropping. Tell Ben if he doesn't want to go, I will. I know he I asked him today. I was like, buddy, I'm not gonna force you to go if you don't want to go to this one next weekend, but I thought you would like it because the helicopters, do you want to go still? And he's like, Yeah, so we're gonna still take them next weekend, hopefully, and it should be a workout.

SPEAKER_00 14:25

Um because you guys were my parents first, and I'm I'm gonna just say it. You haven't taken me to do anything in a while, mom and dad.

SPEAKER_01 14:33

It has been a bit, so but listen, I have been trying.

SPEAKER_00 14:37

Your schedule's been packed full, so oh my god, I know. I swear to god, it's this fetus though, man. I swear. Cause I was like all over the place, like wanting to come to your house and do the podcast stuff and the the photos and just come and surprise you. And um there was another time. Oh, I wanted to come be there for like Mika and Ben and stuff, and then I got pregnant, and then I was like, Oh my god, I can't even be in the car. Like, I get so sick all the time. It's awful.

SPEAKER_01 15:05

Yeah, that's like your mom was one of the first people to know I was pregnant. I didn't tell her, she just knew. I remember. Yeah, and she she was a smoker at that time, and she was smoking a cigarette, and like because I came to pick her up, and she was smoking a cigarette, and I sorry, I didn't even clear my throat like that, but she I got so fucking sick, so sick, so so so sick. And then and it was for my bachelorette party because I found I was pregnant right before it. And um everyone kept buying me drinks, and I had a friend there that I gave my drinks to. Like I would pretend to drink them and then gave them to her to drink. Because I didn't want anybody to know because my mother-in-law was there, and I wanted to tell her in a good way, not like just like I didn't want my my stepmother and my mother-in-law to find out like in a bad way. Well, not bad way, but you know what I mean. Like, I wanted to tell you, but like cute. But anyway, yeah, so the cigarette smoke, and then we were walking through Pittsburgh, and um somewhere was like frying chicken or popcorn or something, and it smelled awful. Oh my god, I almost dropped to my knees about to puke. It was horrible. And everyone else was like, Oh, that smells so good, and I was dying. And then we were like at a dance like place, like a uh like a bar that was dancing. It was during the day at that point, so it wasn't like crazy or anything. But anyway, we were there and um she was like, What do you want to drink? And I was like, I don't remember what I said. I said something, she's like, What she was like, What do you really want to drink? And she like she looked at me and I knew she knew. And I was like, I'll just take a diet Pepsi or Coke. Because I needed like a shot of caffeine, like something like with wal because I was drinking with so much water and I needed like something to give me energy. Because you know what it's like now. It's the beginning of pregnancy, you are exhausted.

SPEAKER_00 16:52

Dude, it hurts, like it hits you out of nowhere.

SPEAKER_01 16:54

Yeah, so I was dragging ass and I couldn't stomach coffee, but I could stomach like a diet Coke or Pepsi. So she got me a soda and that helped a lot. So but anyway, I did want to say that I before we jump into the actual episode, I found sugar-free Dunkin' Refresher packets on Amazon, and um I'm gonna buy a shit ton of them. I just want everyone to know, because like I'm I'm diabetic now, so I'm watching I mean I was watching my sugar before I got the diagnosis, but now I'm like very harshly watching my sugar. Definitely, and I love Dunkin' Refreshers. So, shout out to any girly or guy who wants to get those and save money and or sugar or anything like that. They have money Amazon, and maybe if I say Amazon three times, they'll sponsor a pod. So LOL.

SPEAKER_00 17:39

Amazon, Amazon, Amazon.

SPEAKER_01 17:42

That's really funny. That's all I have. I'm just I just wanted to shout out the Dunkin' refresher packets because like it saved my life finding that it was like this is perfect. Because I had and Kiwi Watermelon. That's really great. I appreciate it. Yeah, the Kiwi Watermelon refresher was like one of my favorites. They don't unfortunately don't have the guava. I like the guava one a lot too, but the kiwi watermelon I loved it.

SPEAKER_02 18:02

Yeah, mm-hmm. Yep.

SPEAKER_00 18:05

They also did um it was like three, I think, Halloween Halloween ago, three falls ago. My god, who am I? Um it was like three years ago, I think. They had blood orange refreshers for like the fall season. Oh my fucking god, it was so good. And then like four or five years ago, they had oh my gosh, what was it? It was like apple cranberry, I think. It was like an apple cranberry refresher that they had around like the winter time. And that was also elite, but they haven't brought those back, and I hate it. I'm so annoyed by it.

SPEAKER_01 18:42

Yeah, it ponds me out how they do that, uh, like not bring things back. I mean, I understand it, but it's still very frustrating.

SPEAKER_00 18:49

We hope that you guys enjoyed last week's episode with our husbands. I heard it was pretty funny. I don't know. I only listened outside of a door, but I didn't get to hear Dylan's side, so I know. I didn't get to hear Tyler, so I'm so excited. Like, I yeah, we'll just have to wait until until we hear it. So, but yeah, hope it was great. It was an April Fool's episode, even though it came out after April Fool's sue us. It's fine.

SPEAKER_01 19:12

Do not sue us. We don't have money. We we have like enough money to get a Duncan refresher and a McChicken. That's it.

SPEAKER_00 19:17

Yeah, TM, TM, TM. Don't sue us.

SPEAKER_01 19:24

I mean, I'm the way that the prices for McChickens are going up, I might not be able to get one of those either.

SPEAKER_00 19:30

Shut up. But um, yeah, tonight we're gonna be talking about haunted battlefields. I will say I struggled, and I can cut this out, Megan, but I did struggle a little bit trying to find like specific hauntings for this one. So mine's not too long. I hope it's not super history-packed. I just tried to keep it like here's some background, here's the battlefield, here are some hauntings, here's today, and that was it.

SPEAKER_01 19:52

So no problem, that's fine.

SPEAKER_00 19:54

Yeah. Not too long, but I mean our yappy hour is pretty long, so it's fine. It's June 18th, 1815. The skies over Waterloo, Belgium are gray and heavy with rain. The ground is money and the air is tense, and two massive armies stand ready. On one side stands Napoleon Bonaparte, one of history's greatest military commanders. On the other side is the Duke of Wellington, Arthur Willesley, backed by Allied forces from across Europe. This is not just another battle, this is the final gamble of a man who once ruled most of Europe. Just months earlier, Napoleon had escaped exile on the island of Elba, which is a whole thing in itself because Elba wasn't part of the Russian Tsar Alexander I's territory, but it made the most sense politically. That's basically what I understood about it, but that doesn't really matter here. In a stunning comeback known as the Hundred Days, he reclaimed power in France almost without firing a shot. But Europe wasn't about to let him rise again. A coalition formed quickly. Britain, Prussia, Austria, and Russia all determined to stop him for good. Napoleon knew he had to strike fast, so he created a plan to defeat the Allied armies in Belgium before they could unite. Napoleon moved north with around 70,000 troops, and his plan was to split and conquer. He faced Wellington's forces near Waterloo while another army led by, and I am absolutely going to butcher this, I um Gebhard Lebracht von Bulcher. That's the best I can do. Um he was marching to join the fight. The battlefield was far from ideal. It always is for one side, if not both. Heavy rain the night before had turned the ground into thick mud, slowing movement, especially for Napoleon's artillery. But still, the battle began. French forces launched repeated attacks throughout the day, targeting key positions like farms and ridges held by the Allies. The fighting was brutal. Waves of infantry charged, cavalry thundered across the field, and cannon fire echoed for miles. Like all good military strategy, Napoleon's depended on timing. He needed to defeat Wellington before the Prussians arrived. But delays caused by the mud, miscommunication, and fierce resistance gave that bul the vulture guy the the uh other army. I I can't say it. I don't I'm sorry, I don't I can't say. Mr.

SPEAKER_01 22:13

B did you say him is it bulgery? Mr. B like with a B.

SPEAKER_00 22:17

It's like yeah, it starts with a B. We'll just call him Mr. B. It gave Mr. B time to close in. By late afternoon, Prussian troops began arriving on the battlefield, and this changed the entire trajectory. In a last desperate move, Napoleon sent in his elite imperial guard, his most trusted soldiers. They had never been defeated in battle, like ever. But there's always a first. So Wellington's forces held their ground, and as the guard advanced, they were met with devastating fire. Then the guard broke, and panic spread through the French army, so the line collapsed, and Napoleon's forces were in full retreat. The defeat at Waterloo marked the end of Napoleon's rule. He surrendered shortly after and was exiled again, this time to a remote island of Saint Helena Helena? Helena? Yeah. Remote island of St. Helena, where he would spend the rest of his life. The battle absolutely reshaped Europe. It ended over two decades of nearly constant war and ushered in a new balance of power across the continent. And Waterloo itself was just a turning point in global history. It marked the end of the Napoleonic era and the beginning of a relatively stable period in Europe known as the concert of Europe. It also gave us a phrase still used today, to meet your Waterloo, meaning to face a final decisive defeat, which I've heard about, but I didn't know this, like that's what it meant. Which I knew it came from the Battle of Waterloo, but I didn't realize that it was like Napoleon's, like I didn't I didn't get that. Yeah, I didn't realize that either. That's cool.

SPEAKER_01 23:39

I'm so out of breath. I'm sorry I'm pregnant. Um don't be sorry. I mean, well, you're probably saying I'm sorry, and then explanation I'm pregnant, but don't like it sounded like you said I'm sorry that I'm pregnant type situation. I'm like, do not say it at that because everybody can get slapped in the face with it. We're happy.

SPEAKER_00 23:55

It was definitely I'm sorry explanation. But that's funny. I know, I know you're happy. I know you guys are lit. For like hauntings and stuff, thousands of soldiers fought here. A ton of people died, it was really intense, fucking obviously. Um, so because of that, people who visit even now say that the place just feels off sometimes. One of the most famous ghosties is tied to the please bear with me, Hogemont farm. I really hope I said that correctly. I'm so sorry if I didn't. I am a swine. People who've been inside have described seeing a soldier in old uniform just standing in a doorway near the walls. He doesn't do anything dramatic, he's just there, which is fucking creepy, but I guess it's better than having him crawl on the floors and walls like the creeper that we talked about a couple episodes ago. But when you go to look again at him, he's gone. Some visitors say they didn't even realize that they saw at first, like it didn't even fully register until a second later. There's also a story about a ghostly officer who shows up near the ridge where a lot of the fighting happened. He's described as walking back and forth like he's still checking on troops or waiting for orders. People usually say he looks solid at first and then kind of fades. Another one people mention is a wounded soldier seen lying or sitting in the grass. A few witnesses have said that they saw someone who looked injured, like he needed help, but then they get closer or they look again and he like no one's there. So that's kind of just sad more than anything, I think. And then there are the cavalry sightings, you know, people claiming that they've seen riders in the distance, especially around dusk. Not super detailed, more like shapes moving together, like a group on horseback. But by the time you focus on it, it's gone. Which I swear that's how like all ghost sightings are, and I fucking hate it. Like when I catch you, stay. Unless you're in my house, then go. But like when I catch you, like when I catch you, Ricky, like I just want to see you.

SPEAKER_01 25:46

Sorry, I thought I was unmuted and I was like laughing hysterically when you said in my house, then go.

SPEAKER_00 25:54

Yeah, I mean, you know, and the listeners know, like I've had some weird shit happen here, so but then I stage and I open my windows and it's fine. Um, but like, yeah, I don't think any of these stories or like ghost happenings are super over the top, like nothing is jumping out of people, it's more like a quick, quiet movement where something doesn't really make sense, and then it's over. But I think that's what makes the whole place feel eerie instead of just scary. And when we talked about Colloden, I remember comparing these vibes to a residual haunting, and this also reminds me of that too. So who actually knows? But like the guy being like like needing help or something, like what if I don't know, like what if that happened, and like he's just kind of stuck. I don't know, sucks to think about. Honestly, that's like all I have. I figured that my side of the yappy hour would be a lot though, and I couldn't find too much on the ghosts here. Um, like no names, like it, they're not really names, uh, just people experiencing things that I can pile together. But today you can go visit the battlefield, the museum, and the farm. It's open every day of the week, but it does have off seasons when tickets are lower in price. You can get like individual rates during low season and high season they have like adults, students, over 60, child, like, and then like like young child. So um, I think like the highest price is for like an adult and it's 20 um Euros or so. Um, that's during the low season, and the high season's like 24 euros. But this is a really well-preserved historical area, and there are a few key spots everyone eventually checks out. The biggest and most famous thing to do there is visit the Lion's Mound. It's a huge artificial hill with a lion statue on top. You can climb all the way up. It is a lot of stairs, so fair warning, but the view is worth it because you can see the whole battlefield from above. And obviously, seeing this kind of view really helps you understand how everything was laid out during the Battle of Waterloo. And right next to that is the Waterloo Visitor Center, and this is where you can get all the context, like maps, artifacts, uniforms, weapons, and a really good presentation that explains the battle step by step. And then there's that farm I talked about, which is one of the most important spots from the battle. It was heavily fought over and basically turned into a defensive stronghold. So walking around it feels very real, I would imagine, because it hasn't been overly modernized, so you can see how it would have looked back then, which I think is really cool because you don't really see that in a lot of places like um like museum, like people can visit today. Another key place is La High Saint. I hope I said that right, but this is another critical farmhouse right in the middle of the fighting. It changed hands during the battle and played a big role in how things unfolded. Um, like it was going back and forth. You can also visit Plants Noite. I think I said that wrong. I feel really bad. I'm so sorry. Um, this is where the Prussian army fought later in the day when they arrived. Um, that part of the battlefield shows how the battle really turned against Napoleon once reinforcements came in. And honestly, just walking the battlefield itself is something to do here because it's wide open, there are paths connecting everything. So when you're out there, it's easier to picture how close everything actually was and how chaotic it probably must have felt. So, I mean, if you're ever in Berlin, I mean uh go. I I don't know. I don't know if I'll ever be there, but it sounds pretty weird. I'm gonna I'm gonna punch you.

SPEAKER_01 29:19

We have like for people who aren't like around this area at all, there's like a town called Berlin that like has potato chips. Sure is. Yeah. Yep. A feather mugger. Okay, guys, let's get down to business to defeat the Huns and the Greycoats and the Union soldiers. Seriously, this field's getting too crowded even for me. Today we're headed to Savannah, Tennessee, to a place called Shiloh, which ironically means a place of peace. Spoiler alert, it was not. Bowler alert. In the spring of 1862, the peach blossoms near a small log church in Tennessee were in full bloom. That church was named Shiloh, a Hebrew word meaning place of peace. But on the morning of April 6th, that peace was obliterated by the rebel yell of 40,000 Confederate soldiers charging out of the tree line. Over two days of chaotic close-quarter fighting, the sunken road in the Hornet's nest became a place soaked with slaughter, forever changing the ground they walked on. Rain soaked earth turned to a grasping mud, a dark canvas where the soldiers' blood soon pulled in mixed with the rainwater. I like that.

SPEAKER_00 30:27

Well, I don't like that. I like the way you worded that. Let me rephrase. I'm not a fucking sadist.

SPEAKER_01 30:32

Like I like, I thought my wording was genius, so thank you. I was like, how can you really like fucking like like paint a picture of it and make it dramatic but cool? I don't know. I thought it was good. I didn't deliver it perfectly because I'm I'm breathy, but I'm not me too. Oh, you're fine again, guys. You're always sick. I know. Did Dylan got well thankfully, I think it's the flu. So it's tangent real quick. Uh Dylan was horribly down, like very, very sick. Dylan doesn't get the flu shot. Oh, okay. I do. And I am doing pretty good. Pretty well. Sorry. I uh I just have like a little bit of congestion and sore throat, but for the most part, like I'm not anywhere near as bad. Like he was down for the count.

SPEAKER_00 31:15

So I guess he was. When did you get your flu shot? October. Like, was it last year? Okay. Yeah, I think it was in our like in fall. I don't think I got mine this year. I usually don't, but I did the year before and I did wonderful. Like it was so good. I wanted to do it again, but I don't know if I did last year.

SPEAKER_01 31:33

Yeah, I'm definitely like, you know, whatever. People do want to get it or don't get it, that's fine. I like I will say in my experience, getting it has helped me tremendously not get severely ill from the flu. So that's that's one that I do get. I definitely do get my flu shot. To understand why the Battle of Shiloh sh this was Shiloh. Yeah, I'm sorry. To understand why the Battle of Shiloh was fought, you have to look at a small town in Mississippi called Corinth. In 1862, Corinth was one of the most strategic spots in the entire Confederacy. It was the crossroads of the West, where two major railroads, the Mobile and Ohio, and the Memphis and Charleston, intersected. If the Union captured Corinth, they would sever the spine of the South's transportation system, making it nearly impossible for them to move troops and supplies between the Mississippi River and Atlantic coast. I chined my my uh breath there very badly. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_00 32:26

How dare you breathe? How dare you be a human. I was super.

SPEAKER_01 32:30

The junk she's coming for you. Oh my god. Open your eyes and just staring there. Standing there. That's uh like I had a dream about that after recording that episode, yeah. No, you did not. I swear to God, yeah, I opened my eyes and one was like right there, right to spring at me, and then I woke up. Like, I like woke up like as if I was falling off my bed. Oh, I hate that. The Union wanted to seize the railroad hub at Corinth after capturing Fort Henry in Fort Donaldson in February of 1862. General Grant had a clear path into the deep south. However, Grant didn't walk, or I'm sorry, Grant didn't want to attack Corinth alone. He paused his army at Pittsburgh Landing, not not Pittsburgh Landing. This is a place near Shiloh Church to wait for reinforcements from General Buell. I think that's how you pronounce it. It's B-U-E-L-L. Yeah, no, that sounds good to me. Okay. Once their armies combined, they would be they would have an overwhelming force to march on Mississippi. The Confederate commander, General Johnston, knew he wouldn't win a defensive fight against two combined Union armies. His only hope was to strike Grant's army while it was still isolated at Pittsburgh Landing. His plan was simple but bold. Politely smash Grant into the Tennessee River before Buell could arrive. By destroying Grant's army first, Johnson hoped to regain control of western Tennessee and protect the vital railroads of Corinth. And I'm sorry guys, I'm just giving you a little bit of detail before we jump into this, but I swear there is some haunting good stuff coming.

SPEAKER_00 33:54

Yeah, better than mine.

SPEAKER_01 33:58

No, no, no. Yours was a yours was great. I love hearing about it. Please don't beat yourself up. I loved yours. Thanks. You're welcome. Shiloh happened because the Union was overconfident. Grant and Sherman believed that the Confederates were too demoralized to attack. They didn't even dig defensive trenches, and because of this, Johnston was able to march 40,000 men out of the woods on the morning of April 6th, catching the Union soldiers while many were still making breakfast. The battle was fought because the North wanted the railroads and the South was making a last stand to protect them. While the Confederates nearly won on the first day, the Union held on just long enough for the reinforcements to arrive, forcing and uh forcing a Confederate retreat and opening the door for the eventful fall of the Mississippi River Valley. With twenty thousand seven hundred and forty six casualties within a five thousand acre area, there's no wonder some of that energy was left behind to haunt. Our first stop on this haunting trail is the Sunken Road, which is also called the Hornets Nest. This was the tactical heart of the first day at Shiloh. It was here that the Union Army Oh my god. Arnie. Arnie Union Arnie. Shut the fuck up. Literally, our podcast is like just us like roasting each other every time.

unknown 35:13

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 35:14

It's so funny. I don't care. I get it. I know I love it too. It was here that Union Army made a desperate I must say it again. Desperate stand that likely saved them from total destruction. The road wasn't a paved highway. It was a simple farm lane that had been worn down by years of wagon wheels and erosion, creating a natural shallow trench. Behind the slight depression sat Union troops. They claimed the air was so thick with whistling bullets that sounded like a maddened swarm of hornets. Okay. The most common report isn't seeing a ghost but hearing the battle. There's whistling and buzzing, which is a strange high pitching. Well, not I'm not describing which whistling and buzzing. I know you guys know what that is. Yeah, don't find it. I'm just explaining that. It's uh like they hear a strange high-pitched zinging in the air, even when there's no wind or insects nearby. There's also phantom phantom drumming, uh, which is like faint rhythmic uh sound of uh drummer boy deep in the woods where no one's standing. And they also hear distant shouting or muffled voices that sound like military commands or the rebel yell echoing from the sunken road.

SPEAKER_00 36:19

Dude, that has to be like residual haunting though. Like it has to be like something so crazy and impactful took place somewhere, and it's just residual hauntings because this is four battlefields that we talked about now where people hear the battle's still happening. Like that can't be a coincidence. Like that's that's crazy.

SPEAKER_01 36:40

It's like so much, I mean, there's extreme death, extreme, like there's that like and here's the same, yes, the energy of death itself, and then the energy it's like of fighting, like everyone's emotions are so extreme that there's like to me it makes sense that emotion and stuff would would stay like in this area. Like it it just like clung on to this little part of the universe to stay in there and and replay over and over again.

SPEAKER_00 37:12

And it it won't leave. Yeah. That makes a lot of sense. Like it just feels not like a coincidence, but nothing is, but you you get it.

SPEAKER_01 37:21

One of the most famous legends of Shiloh involves a strange medical mystery that feels supernatural. After the battle, wounded soldiers noticed their open wounds were glowing with a faint blue light in the dark. Many believed it was a divine sign, hence angels glow, and noticed that the soldiers whose wounds glowed there were more likely to survive. Years later, researchers discovered it was like it was likely a bloom bio Jesus Christ. Jesus fucking Christ help me. Bloom bio Years later, researchers discovered it was likely a bioluminescent bacteria. Like I I know how to say bioluminescent, sorry guys. They killed off other more lethal bacteria, quite literally healing ghost like okay, hold on. Fuck, fuck, Christ, fucking Christ. Quite literally a healing ghost light. I don't know what possessed either I I could not say quite literally a healing ghost light. Like, I don't know why I couldn't say it. Like it was like my like I don't know. I my my brain and tongue and mouth were all trying to do something different. I don't know what happened. The Hornet's nest is notoriously thick with undergrowth. Many tourists report an overwhelming sense of heavy air or the feeling of being watched from the tree line. The same tree line where Confederate troops launched twelve separate failed charges. Just a short walk from the Hornet's nest is a small pond where soldiers crawled to drink and wash their wounds. Visitors have reported seeing the water momentarily turn a dark rusty red before flickering back to normal. Figures in tattered blue and grey, I know, right? Figures in tattered blue and gray uniforms have been seen kneeling by the water's edge only to vanish when approached. Others have claimed to hear the soldiers cry out in pain in this location. Imagine being a ghost in your eternal afterlife is just being thirsty at a pond that tastes like iron and copper. Zero out of ten across the board.

SPEAKER_00 39:12

Yeah, I don't that's really upsetting.

SPEAKER_01 39:15

Yeah. Next we see the peach orchard. During the fight, the peach blossoms were clipped by bullets falling like bloody snow on the dying men. Peach Woods Ward. What? Peachwood Sword.

SPEAKER_00 39:28

But what? Am I saying it wrong? Or are you being aware? No, no, no, no. You said peach, you said you said peach orchard, and it reminded me of Peach Wood Sword.

SPEAKER_02 39:38

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_00 39:42

Oh my god, that took you way too long.

SPEAKER_01 39:45

I was like, am I saying it? Like, I was like literally, I'm like, am I saying something wrong? Okay, I got you. I got you.

SPEAKER_00 39:51

You're not. That's so funny. Goober. Continues.

SPEAKER_01 39:55

People claim to smell peaches out of season and see a lady in white because every battlefield needs one. Did I say battlefield right? Yeah. Okay. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 40:05

I was you said lady in and I thought about blades, so I kind of like I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 40:09

Oh, if you got sidetracked. Okay, you're very good. Yeah. I'm gonna resay it just in case. People claim people claim to smell peaches out of season and see a lady in white because every battlefield battlefield. Well, you didn't say it right that time. Because every battlefield needs Battlefield needs one. What wandering the trees looking for her husband. She's typically described as wearing a flow a flowing white dress, sometimes described as a nightgown or a light spring dress. She's often seen wandering through the peach orchard or near the sunken road.

SPEAKER_02 40:40

Hmm.

SPEAKER_01 40:41

Unlike many ghosts who are said to be scary, the lady in white is famously known as the protector of the lost. Reporters claim she appears specifically to women and children who have become separated from their groups or feel overwhelmed or frightened by the heavy atmosphere of the park.

SPEAKER_00 40:56

Um I love her.

SPEAKER_01 40:58

Yeah, I I was like, oh my god, that's so awesome. Uh visitors describe her as a calming presence who seemed to I'm keeping it.

SPEAKER_00 41:09

I'm keeping it.

SPEAKER_01 41:10

Sorry, my son is in the background watching uh YouTube on his he's also. He's been so good though. Yeah, like he's because he got into his snacks and is definitely overeating. But not not overeating, overeating snack, like junk food is what I mean.

SPEAKER_00 41:29

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's alright. Yeah, it's okay.

SPEAKER_01 41:33

We live once, so he's good.

unknown 41:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 41:35

Uh we'll fix it in a little bit. Visitors describe her as a calming presence who seems to guide people back toward the main roads or trails. However, as soon as another person or park ranger approaches, she reportedly vanishes into the trees. Now imagine being a 1,000-year-old spirit minding your own business, and suddenly 100,000 guys in wool uniforms show up and have a loud shout shootout on your front yard. That's how you get double haunted. If you walk to the eastern edge of Shiloh, of the Shiloh Plate if you walk to the eastern edge of the Shiloh Plateau, you will see that this is not the first time this ground was soaked in blood, because long before the Battle of Shiloh took place in the Civil War, another took place and they used the battlefield as a cemetery to honor their dead. Here are the Shiloh Indian Mounds. Because the battlefield became a national park in 1894, these mounds were never plowed over by farmers, making them some of the best preserved prehistoric sites in the US, and many artifacts have been found within the mounds. It's just fucking the punch buggy group. I know. I was like, God damn, why is my phone doing that? Dude, you you gotta keep that in our listeners gonna be like, what the fuck is a punch buggy group chat?

SPEAKER_00 42:47

Our nephew, our oldest nephew, decided one day to add all of us, all of his aunts and uncles. And by the way, there's a lot. He decided to add us all to a group chat to say punch buggy, and he took a picture of like a random, like, um, what are those cars called? They're punch buggies, but like they're like the little Volkswagen bug looking things for people who don't know. Because I've said punch buggy before, and someone was like, What are you talking about? And I'm like, What? But anyway, yeah, he added us to this fucking chat and said punch buggy, no punch back, and then all of us just kind of like took this chat over, and we send punch buggies anytime we see them out on the road, and our oldest nephew's like, Shut up, I hate this chat. Oh my god, and like it's just funny because we took it over, he's just in there, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 43:30

Well, he is like super good at making group chats and then just leaving them, like he'll literally just put us all in the group chat and then leave the group chat, and then we're like, Hi guys, yeah, and then we carry on being children, like we're just like being total chaos as adults, and then he's just not even in the group chat anymore. But it hey, shout out to him though.

SPEAKER_00 43:50

They uh Dylan freaking finds punch buggies every day, so the punt like the punch buggy group chat will ding once a day.

SPEAKER_01 43:58

So well, there are a decent chunk. Of them in Pittsburgh area, but also not just that, Dylan is on the road a lot more than most of us. A lot. So, yeah, yes. I mean, he drives everywhere for he works West Virginia, Virginia, Ohio. Like, he's everywhere. So, yeah, that's fair. Locals will tell you that the haunting at Shiloh isn't just about the soldiers. There are reports of orb lights, blue, green, and orange, that don't march like soldiers but dance over the mounds at night. Some paranormal investigators believe the violence of 1862 woke up an older energy. Visitors describe sudden ice-cold gust of wind that hit you even in the humid Tennessee July, and a heavy, vibrating silence that makes your ears ring. It's a strange double-layered history. You had the ghost of a young nation trying to tear itself apart, literally standing on the shoulders of an ancient civilization that had already risen. Fuck you. It's a strange It's a strange double-layered history. You had the ghost of a young nation trying to tear itself apart, literally standing on the shoulders of an ancient civilization that had already risen and fallen in the exact same spot. At Shiloh, the sunken road leads to the past in more ways than one. Why are you still giggling?

SPEAKER_00 45:12

It's just funny. Like it's a five-syllable word, but you were like, I'm a roll with four.

SPEAKER_01 45:17

Sorry, I can't do any more than that. My tongue hurts. Like my tongue and throat hurt. I don't know. It's not severe. Have you ever had like a like an oral um allergic reaction to something where your like tongue and throat kind of hurt? That's that's what it feels like, but I know it's from being sick, not an allergic reaction.

SPEAKER_00 45:39

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, good. Don't drink any citrus stuff.

SPEAKER_01 45:42

Yeah, I'm not going to. Yeah, tropical fruits. I'm pretty conf confident I'm allergic to all of them. So yeah. Oh, that's funny. I'm actually drinking a refresher that's strawberry dragon fruit. You motherfucker. But it's not like real dragon fruits. Oh my god. Megan. I can have the juice and stuff. I just can't have like fresh fruit. So I'm okay. That is funny though. Megan's like, why do my dog don't that? Why can't I read why can't I fucking drink? I think I said it right that time. I just had to really think about it. Slow it down. Okay. That's okay. I did find a small experience online where an anonymous commenter said or stated. They said stated, whatever you want to say. When I was a kid, I was visiting my great grandma who lived near the Shiloh battlefield. The house had these massive bay windows that went almost all the way from the ceiling to the floor. One night I'm looking out those windows and see two wispy figures of Civil War soldiers walking by. The weirdest part was they were glowing green. Some ten years later, I'm doing more reading about Shiloh and discovered there was a bacteria that lived in the soil there that made soldiers' wounds glow green. That was Oh my god. Another experience titled Strange Fog. Um, and it it was it's titled Strange Fog and I really wanted to share this one with you.

SPEAKER_00 47:04

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 47:05

I was there in early April of 2023. I had been visiting relatives in Mississippi and I went to Shiloh as a detour stop as I was heading back home to Minnesota. It was a late afternoon on a Sunday when I arrived and the park was nearly empty. It had been cloudy it had been a cloudy day. There may have been rain earlier, but the sky was clearing and the sun was starting to peek through the clouds. I purchased a download audio tour that you listened on your cell phone. It was playing through my Tahoe's Bluetooth speakers as I drove around to different sites. It uses GPS to note your location and tells you important things that happened in that area. It was getting late and I definitely didn't want to be in that place after sundown. I stopped somewhere on the road in the park in the front of an open field with the cannons aligning on one side of the field. It was unique because most parts of the battlefield are covered in large forests now. Anyway, as I was sitting in the SUV overlooking the field, the Tor finished and playing the Tor finished playing, and I noticed a slight fog developing in the field. It seemed to come up from the ground, and I assumed its formation was due to some moisture remaining in the grass and changing the atmospheric temperature. As the sun went down behind the tree lines and the monument's shadows stretched out. However, as I watched the field, the fog grew the fog grew thicker and thicker, until I could not I could not clearly see the opposing tree line. This didn't immediately concern me, but the fog started to twist and rotate as if something was stirring up. Then things got a little freaky. The audio tour unexpectedly started playing again. But this time there was no narration, only the sound of horses and men marching with clanking sounds and a horn in the background. The fog almost looked like it was separating as a ghostly army march marched down the middle of the field, and since I don't hold on. Since I don't take any drugs, I didn't know what to think of it, and somehow thought it must be hallucinating. I started my vehicle up and quickly drove following the park exit signs. I didn't look back, I never told anyone about this, but was researching ghosts of Shiloh that brought me here. I saw like a handful of them. I just didn't want to like bring too many of them into this, but I picked two fun ones. Um as the sun dips down, it's time for a tour of Shiloh Battlefield to end. But in the deepening shadows of the peach orchard, the air begins to hum. Maybe it's the breeze, or maybe it's the Hornet Swarm awakening again. One thing's for certain at Shiloh, the battle never truly ended. The soldiers are still there standing their ground in the mud, waiting for April morning that will never come. I believe it. And I also thought it was interesting because it like happened in April and this should be released.

SPEAKER_00 49:37

It's like about to be. Yeah. And it is. It is.

SPEAKER_01 49:40

Yeah, the anniversary of this is well, you don't have to keep this in, but it's coming up.

SPEAKER_00 49:44

April 6th. Yeah, it's like what, April 6th, you said? Yeah, and this will come out on April 13th. Actually, April 6th is whenever the um boys episode will be released. Okay. On Ketacombs. Ketacombs. Do it. Do you remember that? That's yeah, that fucking sent me. You were like creepy, Katacombs. Oh my gosh. Also, you look really pretty. I just want to tell you that.

SPEAKER_01 50:14

Thank you. Yeah, I did my makeup today. I mean, I know I look pretty without it, but it's nice to just kind of put on some makeup sometimes and I straighten my hair too. So oh, nice. Thank you. I can't tell because of your headset and it's like a little shadowy, but it looks like I did like a nice hair mask on my hair last night, and then I was like, my hair is so soft and nice, and I was like, let me ruin it by straightening it. I'm just kidding.

SPEAKER_00 50:38

Yeah, let me fuck it up. Fucking really quick. Actually, I'm kind of pissed because before I left the house with my leggings on inside out, I gave Tyler a kiss, and that means he didn't look at my butt when I walked away. What the fuck? You better smack him. Yeah. I'm saying, like, usually I'll get like a little butt smack or something when I turn around, but I got nothing this time. It's his fault.

SPEAKER_01 51:01

Like, it's literally his fault that this happened because he didn't give you the proper attention.

SPEAKER_00 51:05

About this, like I'm gonna be wide awake at night, losing fucking sleep, and I'm gonna be like, it's your fault. This is all your fault.

SPEAKER_01 51:10

Please tonight, just like while you're laying in bed, just fucking stare at him in blank and just be like make it real obvious and wait for him to be like, wait for him to say something, like make it really obvious, okay, and then wait for him. Okay, and then Susie has to be like, It's your fault that I had my pants on inside out. I will, I'll report back.

SPEAKER_00 51:32

Well, I texted him when it happened. He was like, Oh my gosh, that's so sad and funny. Is it because you're tired? It's because I'm pregnant. Like, I just I don't know. Like, I'm not even feeling like myself right now. No, but um, yeah, usually like I usually I get something from him like oh you look good, you're better. Nothing, nothing today. But he was like, I'm I'm gonna go play this. Oh my god, that happened today.

SPEAKER_01 51:56

I completely lost track of time. Yeah, I was today. I remember now, but for some today's been a long day. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00 52:06

It has been a pretty long day. Yeah, it's five, five o'clock. Well, we can't tell the listeners what time it is. Oh my god, it's night, it's night time. What time is it?

SPEAKER_01 52:14

Just kidding, dude. I I I had a moment the other day. I was awake, it was real time, but I thought, like, I had this moment where I was like, what if I'm dreaming? And I like look at Ben and I'm like, should I ask him what time it is? And I'm like, don't do not. Oh my fucking god. And I literally was like, what if I am dreaming right now? And I had like one of those really fucking weird moments where I was like, Am I or am I not? And then I was gonna ask him, and then I was like, no, don't ask him. Because I'm like, if it is a dream, you just fucked up everything. So I didn't ask him.

SPEAKER_00 52:41

Oh my god. That's you should have. I know, I know.

SPEAKER_01 52:45

But I'm I mean I'm too chicken shit because if someone has a weird ass smile and then kisses me or something, I'm gonna lose it. I'll die. Oh yeah. Like I would simply just shit my band. Is it in the bathroom that one story you said about in the back of the battery? Yeah, it was the 230. I would literally do it. 230, 230, 230, yeah. Nope, nope, nope. That's so scary. I don't know what I would do. Um, do I spin this time?

SPEAKER_02 53:06

Yeah.

unknown 53:08

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 53:08
