Ep. 81 A Skeptic's Journey into the Paranormal: Shane Thede
Send your favorite Co-Ghosts a message!
After nearly dying from cancer complications, skeptic and comedian Shane Thede found himself facing something he never believed in - a haunting that defied logical explanation.
Shane's journey begins with tragedy when his mother passes away in his arms. Months later, diagnosed with late-stage multiple myeloma, he's hospitalized in critical condition. During those dark days between life and death, strange things start happening. Someone – or something – sits on his bed, shakes him awake before nurses arrive, and even crawls across his hospital sheets. The true mystery begins when these unexplained events follow him home.
From a fireplace that suddenly works after months of being broken, to his deceased mother's phone powering on without a charge, the phenomena escalate. When a heavy sewing kit comes crashing down the stairs at 5 AM, Shane can no longer dismiss what's happening. Is it his mother's spirit, unsettled by his father's quick relationship with a new woman? Or perhaps an entity that attached itself to Shane during his brush with death?
What makes Shane's testimony compelling is his continued skepticism despite mounting evidence. "I don't believe in all this mumbo jumbo," he insists, while simultaneously admitting he can't explain what's happening. His scientific mindset collides with unexplainable reality, creating a fascinating exploration of what happens when a non-believer experiences the paranormal firsthand.
Through it all, Shane maintains remarkable positivity despite his ongoing cancer battle, reminding us that whether facing supernatural phenomena or life-threatening illness, sometimes the best approach is simple acknowledgment: "I'm here for a good time, not a long time."
Thanks for watching what's going on. This is scolarius, I am john olsen and with me as always again, not with me as always, but with me today, comedian zach sharp. What's going?
Speaker 2:on Zach. What's going on? Hey, how you doing.
Speaker 1:Oh, I'm okay. I'm okay, I recently took up jogging.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm 47, dude, so it's not a good time to take up jogging.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to lie.
Speaker 1:Good for you, bad on the knees, but supposedly pretty good, I don't know. Yeah, I've been doing some running. I've been running to the bathroom a lot, I've been having some tummy aches. So well, I'm gonna go tonight. That's good, all right. Uh, there's that, you know.
Speaker 2:Oh, what you got I got tell me uh castle cream ale from uh the castle danger brewery up in in Two Harbors Minnesota. It's one of my favorite beers. Nice, I love it yeah.
Speaker 1:That's cool.
Speaker 2:I've heard of Castle, what do you got?
Speaker 1:tonight Diet Coke.
Speaker 2:Diet Coke.
Speaker 1:Yeah and water A big ass yeah I also got a water. Yeah, a lot of water, so that's what I do Drink some Diet Coke and a lot of water.
Speaker 1:So that's what I do drink some diet coke and a lot of water, um, yeah, so, other than jogging, what else you been up to? Uh, nothing, man, you know, it's just work, that's it. And some traveling, a lot of traveling uh, not fun traveling, just traveling. And yeah, so I mean, you know, other than that, nothing, nothing else. Um got nothing really going on, uh, but you know there's always something yeah yeah, there's always something cooking up here in this brain, but you always that's good always um nothing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that is that is true. You know we always play a game uh called when will it kick in? Right, yeah, and uh, yeah, again, just letting people know it. It's gonna kick in, um, but we don't know when. The other thing is, you know, we, we also do the thing in the beginning like, uh, what you're drinking, you know, yada, yada, yada, blah, blah, blah, and mine's pretty standard it was a weed drink. For a while then it was like now it's basically diet coke or a water, right, and you know, dw, his his is, you know, uh, usually some sort of fruity drink. You know some sort of fruity alcoholic drink.
Speaker 1:You know I don't know pina colita or whatever the hell he does. And then you come in with the Castle Danger and everything. I'm just kind of thinking like maybe I don't know, maybe we should do a thing like what are they drinking? And what I mean by they is, like the people, like the people that listen to this, like I think that would be a good thing for them to like interact with me, with don't send me hate mails, with the fuck you at the end, don't do that but you can like interact with us, right, um, and you know how they would interact with us what is that?
Speaker 2:how is that I?
Speaker 1:I mean personally, you know, I would think that, um, they'd want to find us, to interact with us, and they can find me at Sean Olsen Comedian 2.0 on Facebook. They can find myself and E-Dubs together on Facebook.
Speaker 2:But not as a couple.
Speaker 1:But no, we're not a couple. That's at the Scolarius page. We also have a Scolarius TikTokiktok and an instagram, and also like the email, the email where they can email me and tell me what they're drinking while they're listening to this. See, see what I was going there. They tell us what they're drinking while they're listening. They can email me at scolarius pod at at gmailcom. And just remember, it is going to be hate mail. Just make it original, please, and yeah, and then, if they want to if only they want to they could go back and listen to every single episode that we have at scolariaspod at gmailcom. And if they wanted to find you, you Zach, where would they find?
Speaker 2:you?
Speaker 2:well, you can find me it's crazy well, you can find me on Facebook at Zach Scharf Comedy. You can find me on Instagram. Message me on Instagram, tell me what you think at Zach Scharf. You can also find me on Instagram. Message me on Instagram, tell me what you think at Zach dot Scharf. Uh, you can also find me on Tik TOK at fat dot Zach. Uh, those are my main sources of social media. I don't really post a lot, but, uh, yeah, just let me know. Let me know that you're listening, you enjoy the podcast and yeah, yeah, that would be awesome if they would do that.
Speaker 1:That would be great.
Speaker 1:I don't mind. If it's going to be hate mail, I'm cool with it, I embrace it, bring it to me. But I just want it to be original, you know, I want it to be really, really good. There's like a Daniel Tosh bit where he talks about people emailing In the subject line he went hey, dipshit, he goes, which is a perfect way for me to be like oh, hello, you can't get hello, essentially, but yeah, so great bit. I just think people need to uh contact you know, come on in and uh bring. You know, bring, bring, bring the good stuff to me. That's, that's what I want and on you know.
Speaker 1:Another thing is they could go to crowdmadecom, forward slash collections, forward slash scolariaspod, and they can get a whole lot of merch. You know, you can get T-shirts, you can get hoodies, you could also I don't know you could also get a dog bowl, yeah, a dog leash and collar. Or, you know, if you don't want to put it on your dog, that's fine. You know, if you want to use it on your significant other, that's none of my business. And you know, as long as it says Scolarius on it, I am cool. But my favorite shirt is the O'Criper's t-shirt and that's DW's O'Criper's t-shirt and that's DW's O'Criper's t-shirt, it's brand new. But you know, you also could talk, exactly, you know, like DW and say, o'criper's, all right, yeah, but that says Scolari's Pod, forward slash collections. Nope, that's not right, it's crowdmadecom. Forward slash collections. Forward slash scolari's pod.
Speaker 1:Um, you know, last week, zach, we talked about robert the doll, right, yeah, a lot of doll, creepy ass toy, sorry, much respect and all that. Today we actually have a live human being with us. So, yeah, yeah, that's pretty cool and this one most likely isn't going to curse us and, you know, do horrible shit. So, but I want to let all the other people know right, quick, like that. You know the dubs.
Speaker 1:I know you might have missed him. He will be back next week. Might have missed him, he will be back next week, yeah, so zach's contractually obligated two episode arc is going to be completed as of the end of this and uh, yeah, you're, uh, you're good buddy, and my brother dw will be back, uh, next week and can't wait for that return. I got an awesome D-dubs waiting for him at the beginning of the show. But anyway, let's get to our guest today. He's got an incredible story and some of it is going to be paranormal, which you know. That is part of the basis of this show. Let's welcome comedian Shane Thede. Shane, how's it going?
Speaker 3:uh, it's going just fine. Man, I guess you know this is again. How are you?
Speaker 1:doing? I not not too bad, just hanging out in my closet. It is weird. I went from the like I am in. I usually record in the the dining room of Casa David's Road, but today I am in the very, very good, acoustically sound closet. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, so yeah. And then you got Zach over there. I don't know what he's doing. He's got a multicolored antelope behind him, which is weird, but whatever.
Speaker 2:It's a bush deer sure whatever yeah, well, if you hear my dryer going off, I, my roommates, started it right before I got on here, so if you hear any extra noises from that, oh sure, it's not we'll say it's a ghost. Okay, do my laundry there you go well we got.
Speaker 1:I mean, shane, you know, like I said prior, you have a pretty incredible story and some of it happens to be paranormal, so why don't you share with us what what's going on?
Speaker 3:uh, well, kind of back it up a little bit. Um, back two years ago on january 8th, my mom uh passed away in my arms. I did CPR on her the whole nine yards. But it's actually been kind of a bit of a comedy bit with me about it. I do bring it up in my comedy. But so, kind of fast forward a little bit, some weird things have kind of started happening here at my home.
Speaker 3:Fast forward a little bit, some weird things have kind of started happening here, um, at my home. So my father, uh, who, who uh I live with now, uh, he started dating someone kind of like immediately right after my mom died, which is kind of weird, kind of odd, whatever, um, but it shows you kind of how, how weird and fucked up people can be at times. It's like, uh, my dad has a picture of his new girlfriend literally exactly right where my mom died. Um, yeah, it's a little fucked up. I told him that he shouldn't put it there, but, um, he just doesn't listen. Um, so, whatever in my you know my mom is, is, uh, my mom was a very unique individual. Um, we had a very complex relationship, um, if you know what that means, you know um, but, um, let's kind of fast forward a little bit.
Speaker 3:Um, um, some, uh, about five months ago I was diagnosed with late-stage multiple myeloma, which is cancer, and in February I wound up going to the hospital and I literally almost died and I was at the fourth floor of St Mary's and I was there for about three and a half weeks and some of the weird shit started happening then, um, which is kind of odd, um, I guess I I just kind of just go right into kind of what's happening.
Speaker 3:It's like what would happen is like I will be laying there, you know, kind of just heavily medicated, and it'd feel like someone just sat on your bed you know what I mean, yeah, and like, and you're like what the fuck?
Speaker 3:And you'd feel the bed shift, you know, and I'm like, okay, that's, that's odd, um, and then I I'm I would actually feel like something or someone like touch me, um at times, but it'd be like a, like, a shake, like they could shake me awake, and then, as soon as it would happen, like swear to like it would shake me awake, and then, as soon as it would happen, like swear to God, like the nurse would walk in. It's like someone was like, hey, wake up, here they come. I mean it's kind of weird because like I would get like an aura or like a feeling, not in hostility but not it wasn't loving, but it was kind of like just looking out for me, kind of feel Okay. And it kept repeatedly happening and it even got to a point where I could feel like the person, like or whatever the entity. You know, rewind a little bit.
Speaker 3:I don't believe in all this mumbo jumbo, weird shit, so I can't explain what this shit is you know, can't explain what this shit is, you know, um, but uh, I could feel like something like literally crawling on the bed on top of me, um, and you know, I'm like thinking, is it because I'm fucking whacked on the painkillers or whatever? But it kept happening, like every time, like something, someone's about to walk in, something would wake me up or grab my foot and shake my foot or would push me in the shoulder and I'd wake up. It's kind of like. It was kind of odd. It was kind of like looking out for me type of thing. You know like, hey, wake up, here comes the nurse, and so, anyway, so I was there for three weeks, I got out and about two weeks later I had to go back in for complications and it happened again. Same thing, fourth floor, st Mary's or not St Mary's, but Methodist Hospital in Rochester here and then what was kind of fucked up is I? Finally I came home and it started happening here at my house, um and um, yeah, what was exactly right? Um, and it'd like wake me up before my alarm would go off, type of weird shit. It's just like it's. It's odd. You could actually actually feel like the person like, like, like you know, like when you're a kid and your parents will sit on your bed while you're sleeping and kind of wake you up. Yeah, that's what was happening, you know. And then my girlfriend's here and she attests to this.
Speaker 3:In my house, in my living room, I have a gas fireplace. It's in the wall and my mom would sit in front of it all the time and have it on because she's always cold, right, and about four months ago it ceased working, okay, and we couldn't turn it on. We fucked with the remote, we fucked with it. We were like I guess it's broke To the point where we were even going to call the landlord and say, hey, fix your fucking. You know our little thing, right, right, and my girlfriend would attest to this that all of a sudden one day the fucking fireplace turns on, okay, and my mom's cell phone, from two years to still sit here, is still sitting on our dining room table. I can show it. It's like, right there, right, wow, okay, and that thing hasn't been turned on in two years, alright, the fireplace turns on, and then the phone turns on and cycles up. Okay, right now, if I try turning that fucking cell phone on, it won't turn on for nothing. We can't charge it, we can't do anything. So that's weird and I'm like, okay, cool, whatever, maybe it's my mom, whatever, who knows who cares, right, it's whatever.
Speaker 3:But what was really spooky is about two weeks ago it was like five o'clock in the fucking morning I wake up in an absolute fucking panic attack. You know, okay, now I'm a pretty, I mean, I, I don't really have panic attacks, it's it's. You know, it's just not my thing, man, I don't suffer from anxiety or any of that shit. So I come downstairs and I'm sitting here and, uh, my mom mom was a seamstress and she has this like like sewing kit, slash radio thing. That was upstairs but we have a little like like balcony thing, ok, and I come down having this panic attack and I'm like what the fuck? So I start eating a bowl of cereal while you're trying to calm down and watch TV. So I start eating a bowl of cereal while you're trying to calm down and watch TV and literally this fucking 10-pound fucking radio, fucking sewing kit thing comes flying down the fucking stairs and I'm like, did my cats knock it off? I mean, I'm looking for reasons, but it's too heavy for a cat to knock around. You know what I'm?
Speaker 2:saying Right.
Speaker 3:So I don't know what it is. I'm trying, I'm thinking maybe it's the cats, I don't know, but it's just, it's too fucked up because where the thing was sitting it wasn't on a ledge, you know, um. So I don't know if, if it's my mom, you know, still sticking around pissed off at my dad because I told you what's kind of you know what, still sticking around pissed off at my dad because I told you what's kind of you know, or if I brought something back from the hospital and you know, and it's like I don't know, it's a little fucking spooky to me, man, it's like, you know, I can't explain what the fuck's going on. I don't, I'm not a big, you know, I don't really believe that much in ghosts and the afterlife and stuff, but you know, it's just a little, a little odd, a little fucked up so, alright, so we're gonna unpack a lot there, cause you just put a whole lot of stuff on us.
Speaker 1:So I wanna go back. First, you said I mean first and foremost. You said I don't believe in any of this shit, which I mean it's just cool. It's good to be a skeptic, because if you're not a skeptic, everything will be a ghost Bottom line, you know. So it's good to be skeptical now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you had some tragedy happen right there your mom passing away, basically in your arms, yep, there, um, your mom passing away, uh, basically in your arms, um, yep, the stuff happening with with your dad right after that and uh, getting the girl and her being there. I'm sure there's, there's some trauma, but, um, and I'm assuming I mean the energy is always going to stay there. So when you say it could be your mom, I'm sure some of it could be. And just based on the energy, the questions I have here when you were at Mayo and all this stuff was happening, you had it felt like people, like you said, crawled on top of you like literally laying on you, yeah, like started from the foot of the bed and like they were crawling on top of you, Like literally laying on you.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like started from the foot of the bed and like they're crawling on top of me and it sounds weird, but like I picture. I don't know why I picture this, but I picture like a blonde haired person wearing yellow, which sounds fucked up, but it's something that something kind of added. I don't know if it was a hallucination or a dream or whatever, but you know, kind of unkept and burly, so I don't know, but I don't know why that comes to a forefront. I don't see it. I didn't see anything, but that's just. I don't know Whatever. So, yeah, I mean, maybe I don't see anything, but that's just. I don't know Whatever.
Speaker 1:So yeah, I mean, maybe I don't know your vision in the end is too low and I'm not saying like whatever, yeah, like I get it. You're not big into this stuff, you don't believe in it and that's cool. So you're asking essentially how would you explain everything that's going on? That's your actual real question in all this explain everything that's going on. That's that's your actual real question. And all this like, or do you feel like maybe you're starting to believe it and you're actually saying what the fuck?
Speaker 3:oh, I'm saying, I'm saying what the fuck? Um, because I mean they're. I mean you know, I know what I know, right, and I, I I experienced what I experienced. I'm not making shit up and uh, it's, you know, I mean you, I guess it comes on. The point was like some, some things you can explain and some things you can't explain. And when you can't explain it, that you know we've got to kind of put for what, we'll explain it, and if that makes sense, so I mean you know. So, like I said, I really don't, I'm not, I'm a skeptic on a lot of this stuff, but I guess it's. If you can't explain it, then I guess that's what it is Right.
Speaker 1:And then you said you were at the Methodist hospital. Right, okay, all right. So where is that injunction to the Kaler hotel?
Speaker 3:Right Kitty corner to it. Actually, I could look out my window and see the Kaler Hotel, okay.
Speaker 1:And are those Okay? So I know that there was parts of the Kaler that the Mayo Methodist or whatever used to house patients and stuff at one point. So was your area of the hotel connected at all to the killer?
Speaker 3:No, but no, no, not at all. All right, it's a. It's. It's the Eisenberg building, where I was at. It's like right across the street. Okay, four floor, yep, and the, the, the palliative care or or a cancer unit.
Speaker 1:That's there, yep um, so I was at st mary's for a while and I was in the icu and all that, all that junk, and they, when they moved me, they moved me to like the regular room right, like just, uh, a regular one, and I had activity. But mine was like just talking. You know, I could hear talking right next to me. Uh, you know, sometimes something to move or whatever it'd be weird tv turned on by itself. You know things like that. Yep, okay, so that's at. Again. I'm gonna use the Okay, so that's at. Again. I'm going to use the M word. It's at the Mayo Clinic, but the St Mary's Hospital. You were at the Mayo Clinic at Methodist, two different buildings, but the activity is there on both sides.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they were both hospitals at one time, I'm assuming. I'm sure there's a lot of people who have died in those buildings.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, absolutely, teaming into thousands, I was kind of trying to get to where, like um, what was the methodist, like you say, the methodist hospital? I'm assuming it was like was there a special unit that you were in? You were in the oncology unit or palliative care, right, and but was that unit something else before? Because at saint mary's the unit that was just the regular rooms was the mental part at one point.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the sixth floor it was at one time was. It was the yeah, yeah, um, I I don't know, I really don't know, uh, what, what, what it was, but I'm I'm assuming it probably had to have been something at one time. You know so, or even I, you know even I. But you know, I mean, you know it's that's the cancer unit. So I mean I'm pretty sure he had some crazy shit happen there.
Speaker 3:So probably a lot of people um dying at that point on their pending on yeah, um, well, shit, okay, so you had the feeling that maybe that thing came home with you yeah, um, because I've had some unexplained shit happen here now, um, like I like I said, every once in a while I have something wake me up for no fucking reason, you know. The grabbing of your foot essentially is shaking you awake, or like something sitting on the bed, you know, to the point where I thought maybe it was my cat, you know, jump on the bed and I wake up. Oh fuck, there's nothing there, you know, yeah, so I mean it's, it's to the point where I'd see what happens. Now I'm just like hello, what's going on, buddy, you know, type of shit, like you know, it's like there's something fucking there, dude, you know, and it's not evil, it doesn't feel evil, it doesn't feel good either, you know, it just kind of feels, you know it.
Speaker 3:Just, I guess I can explain. It's kind of like an inmate. You know, um, because you, like everybody knows my story, that you know I was in prison for a while where another inmate's looking out for another inmate, type of thing. Okay, you're not, you're not friends with the guy, but you're looking out for the other inmate, and that's kind of how I got it, which is like, yeah, does that make sense?
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3:So it's like, hey, buddy, look out, you know type of thing. You don't know him, but you're, you know, just looking out for another person. That's kind of how I got, that's the feeling I got out of it.
Speaker 1:So, you know, it's even funny because I'm even I'm even skeptic about even fucking talking about this, because I don't want fucking kook, but trust me, the audience that's going to be listening to this, they're in it for the story man, they're in it to hear your ghost story like. And, trust me, the goofier the better. That's. That's how, that's how it'll be. Um, so, have you ever had a paranormal experience before this?
Speaker 3:this not really no, uh, yeah, it's okay. So back like nine years ago I got hospitalized in saint mary's up on the sixth floor. Um, I had something. I had something called a malory weiss terror. Uh, where it's I? I cut open my esophagus and I was bleeding internally and they had a stitch. They'd clamp it back together and I was hospitalized for a couple weeks there and they got infected and I had a like really bad infection, whatever.
Speaker 3:Um, but when I was there, uh, I saw something in my room constantly and it was a black, dark figure up. It was actually in the ceiling up in the corner. I thought that was because I was hallucinating, because I had a fucking fever from an infection and I kind of researched that where I thought I was dreaming or whatever. And it's like when you have a fever like that, your body will you have fever dreams and it's it's your body trying to fight off something, what I researched that but but yeah, that's the only other thing I thought of. But that's I'm not going to go into that one, that's you know and I'm not. I don't think I'm not going to go into that one, I don't think I'm some conduit for this shit, but I thought maybe that's just a fucking bad dream.
Speaker 1:You never know, but it is. We just talked about the 6th floor at St Mary's.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that was a psych ward yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that shit happens. See, this is kind of the theme with everybody that I've talked to. I've had skeptics on here. You know our friend Goobs and his story is I've never had a paranormal experience that I know of. So I mean if it hasn't happened to me, it's bullshit right. Yep, I mean if it hasn't happened to me, it's bullshit right. And everybody else's story, essentially that had had experiences or whatever else. They grew up in a haunted house or they hung around their grandmother's home that was haunted, or an aunt, you know, lived in a trailer that was haunted, or whatever, they seem to be more believers.
Speaker 3:It's funny you mentioned Goobs, because Goobs came and visited me a couple times when I was hospitalized. That's when we started talking about it. That shit was happening. He told me to look you up. He said that's something we should bring up to you guys. But so yeah, I mean. So he was there talking. It was like, dude, this thing's fucking happened to me, dude, it's crazy, you know that's.
Speaker 1:I mean it's, it's awesome, but not at the same time. I understand, like you're there for a reason that's beyond my comprehension right now and I'm sorry. Like that really sucks. I um, but you like get this shit happening to you too and, like you said, it wasn't scary or you know, like whatever, but it's, you just didn't need it on top of what was happening yeah, well, you know, and honestly it became the point where it's.
Speaker 3:It's, it doesn't bother me, you know, when it happens it's like all right, cool man, thanks, man, thanks for looking out for me. You know, uh type of thing, and I don't know, I'm just man, you know, it's whatever.
Speaker 1:So oh okay, I mean, yeah, you never had a paranormal experience before this stuff starts happening to you. You go to the hospital, you start happening, having them then, and then you come home and they're with you now. So I mean, you might not be a conduit, but whatever it is, it certainly likes you and one of the you know whatever energy is wanting to follow you around yeah, you know, I know that's uh, I don't know if that's good or bad.
Speaker 3:So you know, I don't want to start collecting these things, you know as long as they don't bother you.
Speaker 1:you know, I, I, we have sporadic paranormal activity here, casa de Batrod, and it's like a TV turn on or there'll be footsteps or there'll be doors opening and shutting or things like that. But you know, 97% of the time it's cool. So I mean nothing, ever it's quiet here. So I understand like you being cool with it, because I'm, you know, like that stuff it happens and we just kind of move on. Yeah, zach, you got anything.
Speaker 2:You did mention that it followed you back home. When was the last time you felt like you'd woken up from it? A couple weeks ago, yeah, what was that like.
Speaker 3:Was it just shaking your?
Speaker 2:feet.
Speaker 3:Yeah, just something grabbed your foot like a hey, wake up. You know, like a quick little jostle, I like, okay, wake up. Like okay, what the fuck man? Oh, I guess it's time to get up. You know it happened. It happened five minutes before my alarm supposed to go off. So I'm like, hey, thanks you know.
Speaker 1:So it's funny. I was just thinking that it's like a supernatural alarm clock yeah, I ain't mad at him.
Speaker 3:Thanks looking out, brother, you know so, yeah, so maybe, maybe that's what you call this episode supernatural alarm clock we'll see, I I something will come up.
Speaker 1:We always have something that comes up that ends up being the title of the episode. So I mean, who knows, maybe supernatural alarm clock will, maybe that'll be the one I don't know right yeah, like that so okay. So you said a couple weeks ago was the awakening that you know. Anything else happened within within that period? Has it slowed down? Has it sped up?
Speaker 3:No, it's kind of ceased a bit. I mean, they told you that the radio getting thrown, which is, I mean, that's, I don't know, that's the first time it's ever been some form of violence. You know, and I don't understand why I woke up in a panic attack and then had that happen, and you know it wouldn't happen. It spooked the shit out of you. You know, like what the fuck is that? You know, and you look and there's just fucking tv at the bottom of my stairs, or this radio like picnic basket thing that my mom had, um, you know, it's all you know. Of course, the antenna is all bent up and shit now and whatever. And you're like, is that my mom, you know, getting pissed off throwing her own shit?
Speaker 1:you know, um, I don't know so you said it wasn't sitting on the ledge. But where was it? Do you remember?
Speaker 3:like where it was before it was by the ledge, um, you know, um, but you had to, like you know, about a foot away from this fucking ledge. So I mean it's, it's, I mean it was close to a ledge, but not on the ledge.
Speaker 1:You know, I'm saying yeah, uh, so yeah no, like big trucks going by the same time, no train. You're not the man I live. I live in a quiet, quiet little townhouse, little area, and you yeah.
Speaker 3:No, like big trucks going by at the same time, no train, nothing, man. I live in a quiet little townhouse, little area, and you know I do have two cats, but there's no way, there's no way that they could move that thing. You know, I mean it's a pretty, I mean it's like, you know, 10 pounds, man, you know, or so. It's a larger box, like a little bit smaller than like an igloo, cooler, you know. Yeah, so it's got a radio in it and whatever. Yeah, imagine that being thrown down the stairs. I mean how loud it was. You know. Yeah, fucking scared the shit out of me, dude.
Speaker 1:And then he said it was like a foot away from the ledge, so it would have to go a foot before it even went over. So therefore, like you know what I mean, that's, it's, that's a lot of uh, I'm you know, you know, yeah, that's exactly it, you know, and here's a funny part.
Speaker 3:So it's like five o'clock in the morning, right, um, and my dad's not here, um, because he's staying in his girlfriend's house. This fucking Filipino lady boy, he's dating up in Wabasha, you know.
Speaker 2:Might be the most normal person in Wabasha Right Right.
Speaker 3:So yeah, so he's constantly up there on the weekends and shit, and uh, let's cause a bit of a contention in our family, but we're not gonna, I'm not gonna get into that, but so yeah, so you know it's uh, I'm sitting here by myself and here you go.
Speaker 1:Okay, so alright, between the time your mom passed away and you coming back from the hospital there, how sporadic was the activity before that, and then did it ramp up after?
Speaker 3:Nothing really happened. Nothing was really going on. I talked to my brother about this and he's got a theory that he's saying he's seeing shit pertaining to my mom and Red Cardinals. I have dismissed everything. He said Whatever Spooky shit, but only this weird shit started happening since I was diagnosed with cancer and my hospitalization, and that's been the past six months. So a lot of the stuff's been happening since then and I've been woken up a couple times by something or whatever. And of course we had the fireplace incident and then the radio incident. I mean that's a lot of shit, man. I guess if you look at it you know I mean I's a lot of shit man. I guess if you look at it you know I mean I don't know, I guess I'm being a little dismissive, but I mean that's kind of a lot of shit, I guess, going on.
Speaker 1:I mean, it seems like it, yeah, and the question is like is it going to get worse? So was the radio being tossed down the latest thing? Or was that that was the latest thing? Yep Watch, Okay, Anxious to hear what will happen next. If that was, it, is the chair you're sitting on going to just levitate and move over back to the door? You know like what's going to happen.
Speaker 3:I mean, you can't get much more fucking crazy than that man. I mean it's like, yeah, I hear you. At that point I'm moving the fuck out. I don't know there you go. If it's following me around, dude, who knows? I mean that's the weird part, you know, and I get the feeling that what's going on is these aren't. I got a feeling this isn't my mom, it's something else.
Speaker 3:So that's kind of my Attached to you at the hospital, thinking maybe I mean because I mean that was some fucking dire shit man, I was not in good. I mean I was in some fucking dire shit man, I was not in good health and I was on the cusp of fucking getting out of here. You know, that's how sick I was. I mean I was in total renal failure the whole nine yards and I got intubated and all this shit and it was pretty fucked up. And so I'm thinking maybe I got too close to the edge, you know okay I don't know.
Speaker 3:I mean I don't know if that's possible or not, or you know I, you know, I don't know, but they're. I've heard theories of like, uh, you know, drugs being able to bring you closer to another dimension. I've heard people talk about that.
Speaker 2:I don't know if.
Speaker 3:I got, you know, too fucked up on fucking meds. I don't know it's, you know, I don't know. It's a plethora of weird theories, you know so.
Speaker 1:Which one's more believable for you now? The fact that you might have a ghost, and even though you don't believe in it, or that drugs are going to take you to another dimension, literally?
Speaker 3:uh, both, I don't know. You know I, I used, I'm recovering drug, ag bro, believe me, I've, I've, I've gotten higher giraspofy. I've been fucking, I've seen some crazy fucking shit in my life, man. So yeah, I mean, you know, we've been up for fucking so long on fucking meth and then you fucking start seeing ghost people and talking to them. You know the shadow people and shit. Yeah, it'll happen so you're, just you're.
Speaker 1:You're dismissing the fact that you might have had paranormal activity actually happening to you back then. Even you're whacked out of your mind but still like legitimately it's been happening to you, yeah so maybe you should be a believer now.
Speaker 3:Maybe you are a conduit well, you know, I am, I I'm kind of, I'm kind of leaning that way now because I mean it's the only explanation scientifically. You try and look at this shit and it's the only explanation that there possibly is another form of energy or sentient being or something. You know and you know I could I. Let's try and base it down scientifically. I mean, you know, I think we're all basically uh, matter and energy, right, I mean that's what the atom is. So I mean, you know, I think we're all basically uh, matter and energy, right, I mean that's what the atom is. So I mean, so it's residual energy of the atom left up behind, and that's your baby, could be your soul.
Speaker 3:I don't know, it could be a bunch of shit. You know there's a bunch of plausible deniabilities by those shit. You don't, you don't know what it is. So I mean, but I uh, I am not, you know, arrogant enough to realize that we have not been able to figure out all this shit yet. We still figure out new shit every day scientifically. So I mean, you know it could be a scientific explanation for all this. We just haven't figured it out yet. You know, of being, you know maybe a soul or energy or being or whatever you want to call it. You know, I mean, I'm not, I'm not that arrogant.
Speaker 1:So I think it'd be badass to actually scientifically prove that there's a ghost.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, that'd be fucking cool. I mean, you would change society by that. Oh yeah, you think about it. I mean everything would change and we I mean religion would change, everything would change. I mean it'd religion would change, everything would change. It'd be spooky as fuck. It's like the proof of aliens If you prove that it shoots religion in the foot, kind of.
Speaker 1:Yeah, let's talk about the house you're in. That might have something to do with it too. You said you live with your dad, so is this your house or his house? How is that?
Speaker 3:Well, it's both of ours. We're both on the lease. It's a newer construction townhouse. It was built about maybe eight, nine years ago, okay.
Speaker 1:So there's not a lot of history to it.
Speaker 3:No, no, okay. Besides years ago, okay, so it wasn't like there's not a lot of history to it. No, nope, okay. Besides having my mom die here, yeah, so, I mean, so, I mean she, she, she, she, she fucking died here.
Speaker 1:So and that was the start of it, so to speak, like I mean you really noticed. You didn't notice anything before, but most definitely noticed after your mom you know, I think there's some weird shit, I guess.
Speaker 3:Uh, okay, so, like, I had these drapes up in my room that my mom put up, um, you know, before she passed, because I was living here, um, with my parents, okay, um, and I took them down to wash them, okay, and um, I, I have a maid who comes in once every two weeks and cleans up whatever. She took them down to wash them and all of a sudden my drapes fucking disappeared, okay, and you get to the point where I'm kind of pissed. I was like telling the maid, I was like where the fuck can my drapes go? My mom made these fucking drapes for me I want to put back up, and she passed away and she, like, I don't know what happened to him. We looked fucking all over this house looking for these fucking drapes. I mean, they're fucking huge, you can't fucking miss them, right, right. And we couldn't find him, whatever. And then I then I remember I checked, we checked his hamper like three fucking times and it took a matter of weeks. Man, we're trying to find my drapes. I got to the point where it's like, look, I'm not going to have you clean my house anymore unless you find these fucking drapes. Right, gotcha and lo and behold, like the fifth time we checked his fucking hamper, there they were.
Speaker 3:So I don't know, I don't know. What is that? You know, is that paranormal activity? Or is it just a fucking? Maybe you know that's, but yeah, it was there. I mean, we finally found him eventually, this fucking. So was that my mom fucking fucking around? Where the fuck are my drapes? You know, you know it's, I don't know. So that happened, you know, after my mom's death, of course, and you know I don't know, but that's the only other thing. But that didn't happen before the cancer thing. It happened probably in June of last year.
Speaker 1:Wow, yeah, I mean you got a lot of stuff going on, you really, I mean you do at least two different people, you would assume, right?
Speaker 3:but this is. It sounds like it's too much man, it's, it's like that's. I mean, if this is true, then I got like some paranormal fucking hot spot going on here. That's a lot of shit happening. Or am I just fucking going fucking cuckoo, you know? You know what I'm talking about, because that's a fucking lot. You see these TV shows of paranormal shit, they don't have this shit happening, you know.
Speaker 1:It's not a light switch, man, and that's the thing.
Speaker 2:You can't turn it on and off, I lost you.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're good, you're there, buddy. Okay, there we are I got you.
Speaker 3:I lost you for a second.
Speaker 1:So you, you. I lost my train of thought, man. I I don't know what happened there. I thought we lost each other, but but we didn't Like I had you were there. You were still there. Yeah, zach.
Speaker 2:You were saying it wasn't like TV, something like that. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:When you see these TV shows, they don't have this much fucking activity going on. Man, yeah, you know.
Speaker 1:No, but like I said, oh yeah, it's not a light switch, right, it won't turn on and off. There's a possibility that it just was happening or it didn't happen for a while, and then all of a sudden, now it's just like hey, guess what? We're going to do all this stuff, and then pretty soon it's going to go away, and then To fuck you, motherfucker, I got you. But on TV they act like things are happening constantly and they're really not. They're not, I don't know, and some of that stuff is made up anyway.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I get that. But you know, that's the point where I'm saying that this is a lot of activity in fucking a few months where dude, that's, I mean that's, I mean fuck dude, I mean people who are supposed to live on a fucking hell mount or whatever, fucking don't have that much activity, you know.
Speaker 1:That's funny. I well, I mean apparently that's funny. I well, I mean apparently you've never seen amityville horror, because that shit was. It was quite a poltergeist. The movie poltergeist that had a lot, real quick too. Very like like glass moved one scene and the next scene like there was a pile of chairs and then all the cabinets are open. Yeah, sometimes I think I live with poltergeists. I just had teenagers. Every cabinet in the damn house is open.
Speaker 3:Oh, dude, and believe me, back in the past, when I was younger, we would fuck with my mom so bad She'd walk in the kitchen, she'd walk out, me and my brother would run in there and fucking open all the cabinets and stack chairs with someone to run away, and all the quiet Scared the shit out of my mom. We did shit to her all the time she was.
Speaker 2:She totally believes she's haunted.
Speaker 1:Oh fuck yeah but that was her getting back at you. Yeah, I bet if you got back man, I mean, yep, that's too funny. So I mean just we're getting. Are you starting to believe? Believe in the paranormal activity and it's not all bullshit, or are you still saying it's bullshit and there's another explanation?
Speaker 3:Well, here's what I'm trying to say. I'm a science-based individual. I look for factual things. Facts are this shit happened to me and I can't fucking explain it. So that means I'm kind of open to the ability that maybe it's some fucking crazy thing happening. You know, I mean I don't believe it. I didn't originally believe in all this shit, but I mean right now, factually, and how look what happening? There's no other explanation besides this. So you've got it. You does that make sense?
Speaker 1:Right. So the other question is does it happen to anybody else in the house?
Speaker 3:Uh well, like my girlfriend saw the fucking, the, the TV, the fireplace thing, so they're seeing it. You know I mean the, the, the, the fireplace thing, so they're seeing it. You know I mean the, the, the touching thing that's only happening to me. I'm being, I'm being, I'm being molested by a ghost you wouldn't be the first one.
Speaker 1:Uh, we had a whole show about that.
Speaker 3:We're the god, guys serious like your and vandals will suck you right off.
Speaker 2:Yep.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, okay, I don't kink. Shame, I'm into that shit, fuck it real.
Speaker 1:I was trying to prove a point and you derailed me again.
Speaker 3:So now it's going to sound like I'm just spouting off nonsense and then nothing after it no, no, it's a point where you know, I mean, I mean my dad was here when the fireplace thing happened, so he saw it. Yeah, he saw it. There's three people who witnessed it, and then you know it's. I still think, dude, I still think it's fucked up, though, that he's got a picture of his fucking girlfriend right where my mom died, right right in CPR on her. I mean that is fucking no class man for the dead. You know, I mean that's fucked up.
Speaker 1:And it could be a reason maybe.
Speaker 3:Right, I mean, if you knew my mom, fucking hell, have no fear Like a woman's scorned and she'd be like, and she, oh my god, she'd take fucking heads. Fucking. She was not a nice woman so aw, aw well
Speaker 3:you know it's it's part of my stand up. Honestly, it's you know, it's like you know. I'd say you know, the reason why most of us are comics is because we've got mommy issues right. My mommy issues right, my mommy issues. My mom died in my arms January 8th. The crowd goes oh, I was like no, I was trying to kill that bitch. What are you talking about? Okay, yeah, me, and my mom had a fucking special relationship, so yeah, I understand, I get it, yeah, zach.
Speaker 2:John.
Speaker 1:Why are you not?
Speaker 2:I don't, I don't know, I just I like listening, I'm a listener, I really like it's very, very interesting.
Speaker 1:It is part of co-hosting, though, is to co-host, not be a spectator.
Speaker 2:I just it's hard for me to say that because I've never experienced anything like this like, um, maybe I've had my tv turn off and on. That's probably about it. I like I really have never experienced anything like that, so like I'm just taking it all in trying to look for signs.
Speaker 1:Now I'm trying to try to find what happened to him doesn't mean it's going to happen to you.
Speaker 2:I know, maybe I want it to happen to me especially the molasses you want to be good? Yeah, I want to be. It's been a while. It's been a while. I'll take a ghost oh, there we go.
Speaker 1:Yeah, of course another thing.
Speaker 3:I don't know if you guys can do this or not, but today is my birthday. I turned 50 years old today.
Speaker 1:Oh happy birthday. When this comes out it'll be two weeks after your birthday, but still, I mean happy birthday anyway, Belated there we go.
Speaker 3:Thank you, belated.
Speaker 2:You're not 50. He said 50.
Speaker 3:It's 50 years old man, 1975.
Speaker 1:I'm old as dirt son. Yeah, well, I mean you look alright for 50?. I know I'm jacked and juicy as fuck, bro, so let's Okay. So you said you almost died. Yeah, Maybe there's a possibility. You got some of the ectos stuff on you and you know they're. They're so how. There's a reason for this question. How are you feeling physically?
Speaker 3:uh, today was, it was a is a pretty rough day. I'll be honest. Um, I was at work today and I had to tap out at work. I, I, I feel, I really feel like hammered dog shit, man. Um, it's, uh, this is my because of my cancer and what's going on. I, I, I, it. It's taking a toll on me, man, it really is. It's hard to explain, but it's the chronic fatigue, the chronic pain. It sucks, man, it really sucks, sorry.
Speaker 1:I was like you know, seeing where you were, because you know if you're hinging towards that side again or whatever you know they might be.
Speaker 3:You know your paranormal activity might boost up a little, yeah, yeah, and I get that, and I do get it. And like I didn't realize I was that close to death and I remember it was just like like everything seemed like a fever dream and and it just felt really sick and I'm just like, oh god, you know, it's like god, they can't, you know. Then when I went in, then they fucking uh. When I went to the er, they're like they immediately rushed me into the fucking icu and shit, and it was like, yeah, you're, you're not my potassium, and everything was all fucked up.
Speaker 3:I was a total renal failure, um, a major infection in the lungs. I'd fucking uh because, um, so 93% of my bone marrow is cancerous. And then I have lesions on my bones which made them brittle. So I had a broken sternum, three broken ribs and broken ribs and I've got compression fractures in my t4, t5 and t6 vertebrae now, um, which which they're not healing. So I'm literally just fucked up on buckets of dilaudid. Uh, yeah, I'm it's. It sucks because it's it's taken away a lot of things I want to be able to do like I've been able to do stand-up in a long time, because honestly, I just I don't, I don't feel like laughing man, you know, because it's's just I'm just dragging, but so yeah, I mean that's kind of where I'm at.
Speaker 1:Well, hopefully it turns around for you. It will.
Speaker 3:It, will I go in for a bone marrow or stem cell therapy replacement here in October. That's either where I'll die for real If I get an infection during that time I'll die or I'll get better after that.
Speaker 1:It's not the 50-50. You just gave yourself a 50-50, essentially, yeah, I don't think it's quite 50-50.
Speaker 3:I think it's 60-40, honestly. You just gave yourself a 50, 50 essentially. Yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't think it's quite 50, 50. I think it's 60, 40, honestly.
Speaker 2:So that's um, but I will say our scene does miss you. Everybody asks about you, we all miss you around here.
Speaker 3:You know, and I and I do miss it, man, cause it was like I, because it was like I love everybody, you know, and I mean, dude, I love, I love the comic circle, I love everybody. It was great, the camaraderie, the brotherhood, and it's just I. Just it's like our open mics here are on Wednesdays, or they were on Wednesdays, and that's the day of my chemo. And, dude, after I get done with chemo, I can't even fucking move. So that's why you haven't seen me, because I've been doing fucking chemo. I'm home fucking retching my guts out and fucking feeling like horseshit Gay.
Speaker 1:You're a buff dude, you're a big guy. You'll kick his ass. I'm sure you have nothing to worry about there.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm super positive about it too. I'm honestly blessed that this happened, because it's brought my family together closer. My relationship with my children is so much better now. Honestly, you'll never hear the poor. Woe is me, god, why did this happen to me? Fuck it, man. I'm here for a good time, not a long time. Fuck it right there you go so that's a good philosophy yeah, I mean, you never hear me bitch and whine about it. You know I hate those fucking people. It's not fair.
Speaker 2:Well, shut up, you know so you know, one thing I do like about you is you're always positive and you're always happy. Every time it's even like right now, like you're probably in a lot of pain, very tired, you come out here with a lot of energy, high spirits. We love. That's what I love about you, thank you, I appreciate that so, yeah, I'm all about the toxic positivity, brother it almost had a h Hulk Hogan impersonation there right, I know brother, brother, brother.
Speaker 1:Alright, so just a standard haunting question, and then we'll start wrapping stuff up with you so what is the scariest thing that's happened? Rank them all Like literally scariest. Like you hope it never happens again and if it does, you're gone.
Speaker 3:Scariest was that fucking radio being thrown down the stairs. It came down with vigor. Vigor, I'm telling you it was like smash. What the fuck was that? The waking me up part is kind of cool. Honestly, you know it doesn't bug me one bit. But yeah, I think the radio thing was probably the fucking spookiest. That's that. That's the first time there's ever been like some negativity with it and how much more than that are you willing to go before you're gone?
Speaker 3:well then, if it's just following me around, I can't get rid of it, can I? I mean, that's the point. So, um, I don't know, I don't know, it'd have to be a lot.
Speaker 1:I don't know so there you go. Otherwise, just keep it cool and try to ignore it.
Speaker 3:Yeah no, no, just you know. No, I don't know about ignore it, but acknowledge it like hey, cool, hey, thanks a lot, brother. You know, I mean, I'm not, I'm not gonna ignore it, that don't apply, just piss it off more, you know so.
Speaker 1:And then I started thinking like, if it's, if there is an entity and it wants to get a rise out of somebody, like, hypothetically, do something for your reaction, so like you know they'll do something. And if you go like you just ignore, it doesn't happen, he's gonna do something else, or it whatever he's gonna do something else to make sure that you recognize and you know what I mean. Like pay attention to it. And yeah, dude, I think I, I think that's what you got, something that's gonna be.
Speaker 2:That's just trying to get your attention and hold it yeah, and from from my, from my experience, from watching ghost adventures and stuff you know all that experience and stuff I truly do believe it is a demon and you're living at a hellhole. A portal to hell um, I really do believe that. Um zach bagans speaks to me sometimes. I just truly believe that's what he would say.
Speaker 1:I knew, honestly, I knew the moment you said all my experience watching Ghost Adventures. I knew right then it was horse shit. There was something horse shit about it, because there was no way You're not learning anything other than to be dramatic.
Speaker 3:Hey, didn't that guy's wife just fucking try and contract to get him taken out? No Well yes, what?
Speaker 1:No, not Zach Baggins' wife. Okay, so this is crazy. We're going to get into Zachy here for a second. So this Zach Baggins cheated on fucking Holly Madison, playboy playmate. He cheated on Holly Madison. She didn't give it up to butt. That's why playboy playmate he cheated on Holly Madison. She didn't give it up the butt.
Speaker 2:That's why, oh boy, when the red rivers flow and take the dirt road home that is, 70% of our listeners are women, so let's hear that, ladies, give it up the butt.
Speaker 3:You may not stick around.
Speaker 1:Oh wow, I'm most definitely getting shadow banned. Do they do shadow bans on podcasts?
Speaker 3:I'm sure if they did.
Speaker 1:Scalarius would be the first one. I don't know, just throw it out there, that'd be the luck. Okay, okay, so know, I'm just throwing out there, that'd be the luck. Uh, okay, so we're gonna, we're gonna finish this up, because I, we can't go into discussing that anymore I apologize. I didn't mean to ruin your podcast no, you didn't, you put the, you put the podcast right up the shitter. See, I did it too.
Speaker 3:No pun intended no pun at all.
Speaker 1:Oh man, it's been good I need to be brown. You know, I thought this two-episode arc with you that's what it is a two-episode arc. I thought this two-episode arc with you Was going to be fun. It's not fun. You're offensive. Last week with the midgets and now this you brought up the midgets.
Speaker 2:I said little people, you said the midgets. That was not me. You brought up the offensive part.
Speaker 1:The offensive part when you said they were human, like Holy fuck, that's not what I meant up the offensive part or little people. The offensive part when you said they were human-like.
Speaker 2:Okay, that's not what I meant I was high, okay, that's better Human.
Speaker 1:Now I have to one way or another. We're going down, but we're going to go non-swinging. Alright, shane, if anybody wanted to contact you and see anything you're doing, or talk, just chat, or give you some good prayers and thoughts or whatever, where would they contact you at?
Speaker 3:well, I'm on Facebook under Shane Thede and I got Instagram under Shane Thede, so I got Instagram under Shane Thede. That's about it. I'm kind of the basic guy. I was putting some of my stuff out there for a little bit, but I kind of stopped. I need to start doing that some more. I need to refine my bit a little more. I think the stuff that's out there is a little old.
Speaker 1:I think I've improved quite a bit since then, so yeah, well, I mean, it's okay, I have stuff on the internet I don't want people to see. So there's. Actually I was. I was in a movie and shut up, it wasn't a porn, I could just see zach. He's getting ready to do whatever. But I I was in a movie and there was a clip of said movie that that's on youtube, and in the movie, essentially, I was uh telling jokes, but I was telling jokes to like a dead crowd, like they weren't like whatever. So this clip is on there, me telling jokes and nobody laughing oh, nobody at all. And I'm like, damn it, why is it? And I you search up john olsen comedy and it's one of the, it's one of them on there and I'm like, oh man, that's bad. You know what?
Speaker 1:I mean it looks like it looks like I'm in a club, I'm doing what I do, whatever, and it's just there's no one and it's I'm like, oh my god what's funny is if you google my name okay, yeah, uh, so I I've been trying.
Speaker 3:I was gonna originally try and hide that I've been to prison and I was a convict and shit. But I did a podcast for dr brian king and now you google my name. It's like you know, convict picked a comic, you know. It's like it's all. It is like two pages worth of shit. I'm just like, well, I guess that secret's out.
Speaker 1:I'm like thanks, dr brian king, appreciate you so let's talk about that for a second before we go. It like just for dr brian king's podcast podcast, what's it called?
Speaker 3:Traveling or On the Road with Dr King, I believe. So he's a comic from, I think, out in California and he travels around and he does public speaking posts about stuff about how comedy or levity helps stress, Right, he did something here at the Mayo Clinic and he saw me at Goonies one night and he said, dude, you want, you got to be in my podcast. And so I went and did a podcast in his hotel room and you know, uh, I'd only been doing comedy for like three months, so so it's kind of cool and it's uh, you know it's, I think it's his third most watched podcast actually.
Speaker 1:Nice.
Speaker 3:That's badass.
Speaker 1:It's a good topic If people want to listen to it. It's Dr Brian King's podcast. Just look up from convict to comic.
Speaker 3:You'll find it. That's pretty cool. That's old school.
Speaker 1:Man, give it a listen, you and you'll find it. So that's pretty cool. That's all cool. Man, give it a listen, you hear another side of the story, right.
Speaker 3:Definitely, definitely.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's not paranormal stuff, but it's probably just as scary.
Speaker 3:Yeah, or just as funny Either way, I mean, there's nothing funnier than prison sex.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, All right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:All right.
Speaker 1:Well, this is the time of our show where we do our little fun, this or that segment, and yeah, just two questions. Well, it's a question, you have two answers, just choose which one you would do. All right, anyway, zach, I'm gonna do the thing to you that I do, the dw, and that is do you have a this or that for shane? I?
Speaker 1:do not oh well, I guess I'm gonna have to it. Subpar this or that right there. There we go. Alright, shane, I like food questions. I always start with food questions, and there's no better way to start today than just with breakfast. Shane, do you like your eggs scrambled or over easy?
Speaker 3:I like them sunny side up Okay.
Speaker 1:Over easy. There you go. Alright, cool. If you were to have to choose a meat for your breakfast, for your eggs, would you choose steak or ham?
Speaker 3:Ooh, probably ham. I like steak a lot, but I think ham is more of a breakfast food.
Speaker 1:I can't mix them either, I do. People are like you want to go for steak and eggs. I'm like no, why Steak dinner, eggs, breakfast. But you can have about like you want to go for steak and eggs, I'm like no, why no? Steak dinner, eggs, breakfast. But yeah, but you can have breakfast for dinner. But you can't do it the other way around, unless it's pizza okay, I agree, donuts or bagels. Bagels all the way, not a donut. Well, it depends. I mean Donuts or bagels. Bagels all the way, yep.
Speaker 3:Not a donut guy. Well, it depends. I mean, donuts are just so sweet, man, I'm more. You know, I'm one of those fucking weightlifting fruitcakes where I map my macros and shit, so I mean fucking donuts like a cardinal sin.
Speaker 1:There you go, and plus bad cholesterol, and if you're lifting weights all the time, you need good cholesterol yeah yeah, okay, all right. Well, we're done eating breakfast. Now we're gonna hit the road and on the road like would you rather drive a truck or a car?
Speaker 3:Ooh, I prefer a car, but I drive a truck right now.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Would you rather drive or fly?
Speaker 3:I'll fly all the way, definitely. Yep, I'm all about getting there quick man.
Speaker 1:And if you were going somewhere, would you go to wonderful Las Vegas, nevada or New Orleans during Mardi Gras?
Speaker 3:Oh, I'd go to Vegas. I got family there. Man, my uncle, believe it or not, was the one who used the forensics expert for the Las Vegas Police Department and he did the autopsy for tupac's core. Yep, what, yep, yep, actually. Uh, he's retired now from the forensics department of the north las vegas police department. But uh, the tv show csi. He is the Grissom character and it's actually based off of him. But he's supposed to get residuals from a TV show but they wound up fucking him out of it somehow. But yeah, he's kind of cool because when I was in high school I'd get evidence bags and markers and labels and shit. I'd take it to, I'd have my lunch in evidence bags. That's pretty cool. People thought I was crazy. That's badass.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, would you like to go to Disneyland or Universal Studios?
Speaker 3:Probably Universal. Disneyland is just like little kids with teacups. Man universal's got some cool shit yeah, I've been to universal.
Speaker 2:It's so fun. I I agree universal is way better than disney.
Speaker 1:I've been to both and 100 I mean I'm not like like a disney lover or anything like that, but I I did enjoy my time in downtown Disney because there you could like drink and party and whatnot. That was fun, but yeah.
Speaker 3:Cool.
Speaker 1:Well, I've never been in.
Speaker 2:You know I did when I was a kid, I did.
Speaker 1:I did when I was a kid. Universal Studios did the tour and the Jaws thing. I did that back in the day, but I haven't been to Universal Park at all. Okay, well, I don't know. Shane, I just want to say thank you for coming on, thank you for having me. You're welcome. You did have some pretty interesting stuff happen to you. I mean obviously log it or something, and if you need people, there's people we know that you can get in touch with that could actually come out and check it out.
Speaker 3:Yeah, if it keeps happening, I'll be the game for that. That actually sounds pretty cool.
Speaker 1:That might give you some answers, maybe scientifically or whatever. Not being a smartass, I'm asking for is there high-powered power lines by you at all? Yep, that I know of, no, and that I know of no, okay, no, because we have some like right outside, like legitimately, like if you go outside you can hear like oh yeah, are you?
Speaker 3:yeah, yes, okay all right.
Speaker 1:So there's some energy here. You know what I mean and that's what I said like yeah, we have sporadic activity that I feel is caused because of that energy. That's what I was saying. Like if you had high, if you had power lines near you that were like high power, that may be a reason for your activity, but if you don't, I think it might just be for your activity but if you don't, I think it might just be anyway, I don't.
Speaker 3:So it's kind of fucking just a normal old farmhouse or our you know farmland. I believe it was at one time.
Speaker 1:So damn well. Thanks for coming on. Your story is awesome. Really greatly appreciate it, zach, you know what. Thank you for your time that you have volunteered over the last couple weeks here.
