SPEAKER_03

What is that gonna do? Whatcome everybody to Comedyville horror podcast where spooky meets stupid and we have no idea what we're doing.

SPEAKER_00

This is not the fucking slogan.

SPEAKER_03

Well, it's too late now. I've been Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Spooky meets stupid over here because this is a great fucking idea.

SPEAKER_03

Uh as you can see, this week we're talking about a Ouija board or spirit board or Ouija. So they're called a whole bunch of different things because it's a goddamn uh Hasbro?

SPEAKER_01

Hasbro or Mattel? Who knows?

SPEAKER_03

One of them like uh coined Ouija, but it's spelled Oija.

SPEAKER_00

Oh Oija. I do not condone this.

SPEAKER_03

What experiences have you had with a Ouija board?

SPEAKER_00

Oh, so we had my mom's mom, grandma live with us for a while. And uh about that time around that time, that's when I started messing around with the the Ouija board that we had by myself.

SPEAKER_03

And so you played it.

SPEAKER_00

I did, and I played it a lot, and then bad shit started happening.

SPEAKER_03

That's I keep seeing that one of the big things is don't don't play with yourself.

SPEAKER_00

I hear that a lot.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. My doctor tells me that.

SPEAKER_00

Stop playing with yourself. And at that time, there was just a lot of like turmoil going on with like mom, and she was kind of going through her episodes, I think just with the loss of then grandma died, and I don't know, like weird shit started happening. There was like a fucking crow. My my room was on the basement, like ground level, so the window was ground level, and there was a crow that would peck at my window every single morning. And this was after it was a sign. There was just weird shit happening to the point where then finally um mom told Reed to get rid of it, and he I think tried to burn it.

SPEAKER_03

You had a fucking a huge ordeal about this board. You didn't even want it in your house.

SPEAKER_00

And then you bring the satanic one. So I have, as we can see here, um my mom's rosary draped over these freaking seance candles you got going on.

SPEAKER_03

Well, yeah, because everything that I read was that you gotta set the moon, use candles for some reason.

SPEAKER_00

Great. Um I still have leftover sage, so if I have to sage this place against the case, that's what a lot of them say, like do all the shit, but I don't know.

SPEAKER_03

I don't particularly believe that anything is gonna happen.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I hope this is a Mattel one.

SPEAKER_03

So now this this is a guy laser printed this, and actually the first one was cursed because it got fucking lost in the mail.

SPEAKER_01

Great.

SPEAKER_03

And so I contacted him and he's like, well, they can't find it, so I'll just make you another one. So this one's not cursed.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_03

So how how do you play or is it a play?

SPEAKER_00

I guess. I think you just see if the thing moves. So who are we trying to con like anything? Who are you trying to connect with?

SPEAKER_03

A lot of a lot of the things that I read was to take it seriously, okay, which is like gonna be real fucking hard for us.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know if I can.

SPEAKER_03

Well, you can probably take it way more seriously than I am.

SPEAKER_00

But I don't want to take it seriously because I don't want to can conjure.

SPEAKER_03

You're not conjuring anything, you're communicating.

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_03

This is a text message.

SPEAKER_00

Great.

SPEAKER_03

It's literally a text message.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, dad. But make it move.

SPEAKER_03

So this is the alphabet.

SPEAKER_00

Oh. Have you seen it before? You know what? Maybe.

SPEAKER_03

And you know, you put letters together and then they form words.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. Um here we go. Let's do it.

SPEAKER_03

Should we do like a little chant? Like the ghost.

SPEAKER_00

If this thing starts moving too, like that's okay.

SPEAKER_03

That's way too heavy to move.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I'm hoping that this um rosary is like gonna protect.

SPEAKER_03

Or maybe it's fucking gonna block everything.

SPEAKER_00

Maybe.

SPEAKER_03

Power of Jesus compels you. Stop. Okay, so here we go. Uh anybody looking? Uh both of our nails are manicured. The more feminine uh fingers are mine.

SPEAKER_00

That's true. Is it supposed to be blurry like that?

SPEAKER_03

I don't know. It it'll probably be better uh in post. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

We'll see.

SPEAKER_03

So you place I think two fingers on of each hand on it? I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

Um and then Is anyone here that would like to talk to us?

SPEAKER_01

Let's move it over to greetings. Oh, greetings. Hello. Greetings. Hello. Hello. Is there anyone that would like to communicate with us? Do we move it around? Let's move it around a little. Really get that laser printer just to.

SPEAKER_00

No. Oh man, it worked. Uh I think you're supposed to do it like lightly, right?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, like like barely on it. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

Sure. Oh, are you moving it?

SPEAKER_03

Well, yeah, I did move it. My arm's already tired.

SPEAKER_00

My back hurts.

SPEAKER_03

So old. Well, and I I saw like pictures. So they would put it like on their laps between.

SPEAKER_00

Don't make me play this by myself.

SPEAKER_03

What?

SPEAKER_00

Play with myself again?

SPEAKER_03

Are there any spirits or any of our subconscious in the room?

SPEAKER_01

You have to take it seriously.

SPEAKER_03

Can you give us a hint on how to like how do we make this work?

SPEAKER_01

Mine was like a plastic thing.

SPEAKER_00

It's like had like little couch protectors on it.

SPEAKER_03

Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Who's here? Let's just leave it and see if it moves on its own.

SPEAKER_03

Well, it ain't gonna do that because it's the idio motor effect. Do you know what that is?

SPEAKER_00

Idiot effect.

SPEAKER_03

No, it's like you're subconscious moving it. But have you seen the fucking the people with the the dowsing rods? That's another fucking idio motor. Like they're literally moving it every fucking time.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, really? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I didn't know that. Okay. Here we go. Serious. Serious. XM radio. Is there serious?

SPEAKER_03

Oh gosh, fucking idiot. Here we go. Oh, God. Do you have your phone?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I'm gonna look it up. See like how to start it. Because I feel like we we are doing this wrong. And like I said, we have no idea what we're doing all the time.

SPEAKER_00

Planning your first Ouija board session involves creating a calm, focused environment, adhering to safety protocols.

SPEAKER_03

Safety protocols.

SPEAKER_00

And approaching the experience with respect and patience. It is generally recommended that beginners do not use the board alone. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Set the scene, gather the team.

SPEAKER_00

Open-minded and respectful. Avoid those who are overly fearful or intoxicated. Oh, that fucking narrows it down here. Just kidding. Um, establish a leader. So designate one person to ask questions and lead the session. Sit on chairs at a table, placing the board comfortably between. Okay.

SPEAKER_03

I think that's our problem.

SPEAKER_00

Before beginning, set clear intentions by stating a loud energy such as I am only available to communicate with beings and spirits who have my highest and best at heart. Okay. I would like good spirits to come and give us a sign. Light the board. Place your fingertips lightly on the planchet. The touch should be gentle, barely enough to feel it. Move the thing in a clockwise circle. Or figure eight pattern for a few seconds to warm up the board and building energy. The leader should start with a simple greeting such as, is there anyone here who wishes to communicate with us? Okay. Be patient. It may take several minutes for the thing to move. Remain calm, patient, and quiet. Do not rush the process. Start with simple yes-no questions, such as, are you a friendly spirit? Or can you hear us? Never leave the board. Never leave the plancha on the board if you walk away. Always say goodbye. The most important rule is to always end the session by guiding the plancha to goodbye. Thank you for the spirits or thank the spirits for their time and remove your hands from the board only after goodbye is reached.

SPEAKER_03

Oh well, we fucked that up already.

SPEAKER_00

Well, we're starting over.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Some practitioners cast a protective circle, light, light white sage, or throw salt over their shoulder to clear energy after the session.

SPEAKER_03

Then you just have fucking salt everywhere.

SPEAKER_01

Whatever. We gotta try it. Okay.

SPEAKER_00

So I think we're good.

SPEAKER_03

So let's start. All right, spirits, you didn't hear that first.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, we kind of screwed it out.

SPEAKER_03

The spirits. Ignore that first one.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. Uh so um we would like to communicate. Communicate with friendly spirits who have our best interest in mind. Um, no negative energy, please. And we will start by figure eights.

SPEAKER_01

Let's just do clockwise. Okay. I'm really just warming up the board here.

SPEAKER_03

Um, if there's if we do this enough, we will start a fire because this is wood.

SPEAKER_00

Sorry, that wasn't you gotta be serious.

SPEAKER_03

Super fucking serious.

SPEAKER_00

We would like to say hello and enter um any communication or would like to allow any communication to any friendly spirits. We are here to communicate with you.

SPEAKER_01

Is there any spirit who can hear us? Are there any spirits here? This is your way to communicate. If there's anything you would like to say. No pressure. Don't leave it. It's hard. It really hurts my back. Is there anyone here who can hear us? What is that noise? What is that noise? Anyone here? Who can hear us? Anyone that would like to communicate. Now's your chance.

SPEAKER_03

This is the worst audio podcasting.

SPEAKER_01

Oh fuck. Is there anyone here who can hear us? Maybe we need some more warmed up. Are you a friendly spirit? Friends.

SPEAKER_00

Greetings.

SPEAKER_03

Salutations.

SPEAKER_00

We are here to communicate with you. Why is this like movement making me so sweaty?

SPEAKER_03

I know, like, my hands are sweaty now. Well, and I think because like, oh my fucking bad. Like, we are so out of shape that we might have to end this like fucking right now because nothing's happening.

SPEAKER_00

You have to be patient.

SPEAKER_03

Patience is for doctors.

SPEAKER_01

Is there a carrot here? Is there a spirit? We welcome friendly spirits. We want to send you a text message. How did you play this by yourself and like have I don't know.

SPEAKER_03

Did you have anything happen?

SPEAKER_00

Uh yeah. I swear that thing moved on on its own. I made it might have been high.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I was gonna say, were you real, real high?

SPEAKER_01

Let's see if it knows my phone number.

SPEAKER_03

402. Just kidding, I'm not gonna put my phone number out there.

SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_00

Okay. In all seriousness, we are ready for any type of spirit. Well, no, not any type.

SPEAKER_03

I was waiting for it to stop at R for war. Those of you listening, maybe you can um write down the letters and then let us know what it was possibly saying.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Because we're too dumb to figure out.

SPEAKER_00

Our backs hurt.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, we're too old for the we should have like just a regular table.

SPEAKER_00

Oh god.

SPEAKER_03

Instead of being hunched over.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Didn't think about that.

SPEAKER_03

No.

SPEAKER_00

But that was an experience. You ain't leaving this thing here. You're taking that with you.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, yeah. I'm gonna hang it up at home. That was an experience. I might even play with myself.

SPEAKER_00

Don't play with yourself. That can be dangerous.

SPEAKER_03

Just for beginners. Now I'm a seasoned veteran.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. What does your shirt say?

SPEAKER_03

Lorna Shore.

SPEAKER_00

Oh. Oh, that's one of your ones that you spent all the money on? Yeah. Nice.

SPEAKER_03

I know this shirt was like $55 for a t-shirt.

SPEAKER_00

That's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_03

Um.

SPEAKER_00

Well, that was interesting. I was not touching it or moving it.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I wasn't touching it either.

SPEAKER_00

You were touching it. Well, yeah. Don't play with yourself.

SPEAKER_03

What do you think? I don't know. After doing this now. I don't know if we were truly talking to someone. Right? So it's just energy? No, I well, I think it was us doing it.

SPEAKER_00

I wasn't moving it.

SPEAKER_03

No, but like, even though you don't think you are, yeah, subconsciously. Because I I saw your eyes move to the yes.

SPEAKER_00

That's what I was like, where's it going? Yeah. Because I figured you were you were pushing it. No. I was not.

SPEAKER_03

I I was not. I mean, my fucking my background so bad.

SPEAKER_01

But I believe that there has to be outlets for spirits to communicate.

SPEAKER_03

And I do think Do you think this is a legitimate form of communication, though?

SPEAKER_00

I don't know. Told you I had my own experiences growing up.

SPEAKER_03

And well what I'm thinking though is like why use a board? You know what I mean? Like if there's a spirit or whatever, like it could literally use anything to communicate. Like, why has it gotta be this thing?

SPEAKER_00

I don't know. I think that's what it because that's what it was made for. It was made.

SPEAKER_03

It could literally like just if it's energy, it could be on your phone and like say, hey, I'm a one-year-old uh prisoner of war. Like just fucking type it out.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

You know, like no, nobody's gonna send you a text from the other side.

SPEAKER_03

Well, but the the this is like the old school form, you know, like I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

Somehow it works.

SPEAKER_03

It it was strange. I'll give you that.

SPEAKER_01

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03

Uh it was I don't think it was spooky.

SPEAKER_00

But well, I think it would have been spookier if they could have spelt something.

unknown

I know.

SPEAKER_03

We we accidentally talked to a return person.

SPEAKER_00

Leave it to us. That's what comes through.

SPEAKER_03

Exactly. Now they're all mad.

SPEAKER_00

I know. I don't know. Could have been a different language. Could have been Latin or something.

SPEAKER_03

Well, I don't know. I would hope not. Seemed like it kept trying to spell the same thing, but not getting it right.

SPEAKER_01

Way. Water. Waymo. I don't know. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Kind of creepy. Well, I think um that is our Ouija bar episode.

SPEAKER_03

We might revisit this.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Sometime. I I feel like we we need a another go at it.

SPEAKER_01

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03

Um, maybe with like some back braces or something. Because we are out of shape.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

But that'll that'll do it for this episode, I think.

SPEAKER_00

I think so too. Don't play with yourself.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, don't play with yourself.

SPEAKER_00

And always say farewell. Goodbye.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And I guess I'm gonna go throw some salt over my shoulder now.

SPEAKER_03

Well that well, you have dogs, they'll get high cholesterol.

SPEAKER_00

That's fine.

SPEAKER_03

Um it's worth it. But like always. Please pretend to be kind to each other. We love ya.

SPEAKER_00

Peace.

SPEAKER_03

Bye.
