  You didn't think this would all be fun and reindeer games did you?
• 0:04
  Shut the fuck up.
• 0:05
  This is a spooky episode, dude. I told you.
• 0:08
  I say forgot where I was.
• 0:10
  I told you at the very beginning I found their banks from all the spooky stories that they had.
• 0:16
  I know. I got I got us really excited and warm with Christmas and Santa and then I'm gonna just
• 0:23
  eviscerate the happiness right away. I'll leave the really bad stuff until the end.
• 0:30
  Okay, good show because I think everyone's gonna hate me at the end.
• 0:35
  I'm so sorry, but it brought me joy, so.
• 0:38
  Hi, Caitlyn.
• 0:40
  Hi, Cassie.
• 0:41
  Hi, creepy people. She's back.
• 0:44
  I'm here.
• 0:45
  My job didn't get taken permanently.
• 0:48
  Thank goodness.
• 0:50
  Yeah.
• 0:51
  If you're new to our creepy little corner of the world, this is PNW Haunts and Homicides,
• 0:57
  where we chat about true crime, the paranormal and all things spooky in the Pacific Northwest,
• 1:03
  even during Christmas time.
• 1:05
  Probably especially.
• 1:07
  Especially during Christmas time.
• 1:10
  Virtually.
• 1:11
  And what do we call the Pacific Northwest if we're nasty?
• 1:14
  It's the PNW if you're nasty.
• 1:17
  And you are.
• 1:18
  Yeah.
• 1:19
  Just like us.
• 1:20
  Yes.
• 1:21
  We also do a tarot reading at the end of every episode for a little bit of deeper insight
• 1:27
  into our topic.
• 1:28
  Yes, we did.
• 1:30
  And I brought a little gem that we haven't brought out in a while.
• 1:35
  I should have guessed.
• 1:37
  I should have guessed knowing that like, obviously it's a Christmas vibe.
• 1:42
  Suddenly, I'm just in my head.
• 1:46
  I've been hearing for some time now a certain voice.
• 1:50
  And I think it's Mariah.
• 1:52
  It's tarot!
• 1:54
  That's what it sounds like in my head.
• 1:58
  Because it's a screechy high pitched.
• 2:01
  Yes.
• 2:02
  Yeah.
• 2:03
  I love that song.
• 2:04
  What's it called?
• 2:05
  I don't know.
• 2:06
  All I want for Christmas is you.
• 2:07
  Yeah, probably.
• 2:09
  Listen, when they started playing it in like mid-October, I was like, I, listen, this is,
• 2:18
  this is how violence starts.
• 2:20
  It's, I am like, I'm a Halloween bitch.
• 2:24
  Yeah.
• 2:25
  It's Halloween all year.
• 2:26
  You can play Halloween music anytime.
• 2:28
  Yeah.
• 2:29
  Christmas, I love Christmas.
• 2:30
  I love it.
• 2:31
  After Thanksgiving.
• 2:32
  Yeah.
• 2:33
  It needs to be appropriately time.
• 2:35
  Like the day, okay, maybe the day of Thanksgiving.
• 2:38
  But like, it does have to be like heavily into November.
• 2:43
  Yes.
• 2:44
  So clearly I was feeling the wintery vibes.
• 2:47
  I was thinking snow.
• 2:49
  I really love snow.
• 2:51
  Even though I don't like to drive in it or anything, but then you get a snow day from work
• 2:54
  and it's great.
• 2:55
  Yeah.
• 2:56
  It never really lasts long enough around here that you get like a ton of days off sometimes.
• 3:00
  I mean, oh, he's had a couple of winters in the last, I mean, in the last handful of years.
• 3:06
  Yeah.
• 3:07
  But if you go back like the last 10 years, if, if you go back a few years, I don't need to
• 3:12
  date myself.
• 3:13
  Okay.
• 3:14
  I, I don't owe you any explanation.
• 3:18
  I would love to date myself.
• 3:20
  Are you kidding me?
• 3:21
  Oh, I meant like as in anyways.
• 3:25
  That reminds me of the one movie I told you to wash, wash, watch my old ads.
• 3:31
  Did you wash that old ads?
• 3:33
  Yeah.
• 3:34
  This is not ringing about as centered to you and Taylor.
• 3:38
  And I was like, you have to watch this movie.
• 3:39
  It's so good.
• 3:40
  Okay.
• 3:41
  You guys, it's so good.
• 3:42
  It's like, it's like just makes you appreciate life.
• 3:45
  Oh, God, I'm going to cry.
• 3:46
  Oh, God.
• 3:47
  No.
• 3:48
  Anyway, there's this one part and it's in the preview.
• 3:52
  So I don't feel like I'm giving anything away.
• 3:54
  Okay.
• 3:55
  It's like the scroll who meets her self in the future.
• 3:57
  Oh, okay.
• 3:58
  She was like, can I kiss you?
• 4:00
  Like, can I kiss myself?
• 4:02
  Like, I just want to know what it's like to kiss myself.
• 4:04
  And I was like, that would be me a 100%.
• 4:07
  Listen to me have questions.
• 4:09
  What's it like?
• 4:10
  Exactly.
• 4:11
  Let's just try it.
• 4:12
  So I was talking about snow.
• 4:13
  I was feeling snowy.
• 4:15
  And so I feel like this is like the right time to go back to Alaska.
• 4:20
  Ooh.
• 4:21
  Don't you think?
• 4:22
  I love it.
• 4:23
  I'm pretty sure I've only done like one Alaska one.
• 4:27
  I know you would have.
• 4:28
  I think so.
• 4:29
  I've done a couple.
• 4:30
  Yeah.
• 4:31
  We've visited.
• 4:32
  Yeah.
• 4:33
  We're hanging out.
• 4:34
  So we're going back.
• 4:35
  It is time for the wintery vibes.
• 4:37
  Ew.
• 4:38
  So I ended up choosing Fairbanks because of how many spooky stories I found there.
• 4:43
  Like, I found a lot.
• 4:44
  I can even fit them in that episode.
• 4:47
  So we might have to do like a little separate Patreon bonus.
• 4:50
  Ah.
• 4:51
  Ooh.
• 4:52
  I've got some leftovers from the episode that Andrea and I did for mini-sode.
• 4:57
  It's leftovers.
• 4:58
  Yes.
• 4:59
  Perfect.
• 5:00
  Okay.
• 5:01
  Well, that just was like right off the top because it's Thanksgiving weekend as we record
• 5:05
  this.
• 5:06
  Hey, Trombonus leftovers.
• 5:07
  Here we come.
• 5:08
  Ew.
• 5:09
  Ew.
• 5:10
  But.
• 5:11
  Okay.
• 5:12
  I think halfway through researching this, right?
• 5:14
  Yeah.
• 5:15
  And then I stumble upon an article at ExploreFairBanks.com.
• 5:21
  And guess what?
• 5:22
  It's only a 20 minute drive away from Fairbanks.
• 5:26
  The freaking North Pole.
• 5:27
  Oh my gosh.
• 5:29
  So I was like, what?
• 5:32
  What could it be?
• 5:33
  The freaking North Pole.
• 5:34
  The freaking North Pole.
• 5:36
  Which is where quote, the spirit of Christmas lives year round.
• 5:40
  Of course.
• 5:41
  So it's not actually because the North Pole is like in what an article or something.
• 5:46
  Right?
• 5:47
  Because it's at the top of the earth, the North Pole.
• 5:50
  Right.
• 5:51
  That's what that means.
• 5:52
  The poles are the to be top of the to be bottom.
• 5:56
  The geographic North Pole is the northern point of Earth's axis of rotation.
• 6:02
  The North Pole is found in the Arctic Ocean on constantly shifting pieces of sea ice.
• 6:09
  So clearly this isn't like the real, real North Pole.
• 6:16
  It's just a place in Alaska referred to us the North Pole.
• 6:20
  Okay.
• 6:21
  Okay.
• 6:22
  Where the streets are lined with candy cane decor that will lead you straight to the official
• 6:26
  home of Santa Claus.
• 6:28
  Santa?
• 6:29
  It's a cute--
• 6:30
  I know him!
• 6:31
  Well, Elf.
• 6:32
  It's a cute white house with like red--
• 6:33
  Oh.
• 6:34
  Oh.
• 6:35
  Oh.
• 6:36
  Oh.
• 6:37
  Oh.
• 6:38
  It was a piping like icing, but like lining, I don't know what it's called.
• 6:42
  Yeah.
• 6:43
  Like is it on the shutters or the trim?
• 6:46
  Yeah, the trim.
• 6:47
  Like the trim was red, yeah.
• 6:48
  I mean, it's piping if it's a like gingerbread house, which that's kind of what it looks like.
• 6:53
  Yeah.
• 6:54
  I was going to say, that's what I picture.
• 6:56
  The Santa Claus house is stuffed with all kinds of knick knacks for Christmas gifting,
• 7:02
  love it.
• 7:03
  Of course, it's where you can get your very own authentic North Pole postmark letter from
• 7:08
  Santa.
• 7:09
  You have to pay for it.
• 7:12
  You can get one online as well.
• 7:13
  You don't actually have to go all the way to Alaska.
• 7:15
  You knew my next question.
• 7:16
  Yeah.
• 7:17
  You couldn't order it online and like you have a personalized and--
• 7:20
  Okay.
• 7:21
  Listen.
• 7:22
  I didn't have the internet and I didn't have a lot of money as a child.
• 7:26
  But grown up me still doesn't have a lot of money.
• 7:30
  I do, however, have the internet.
• 7:32
  And where you can waste your money on a letter from Santa.
• 7:36
  But it's official.
• 7:39
  You guys.
• 7:40
  I'm going to get one.
• 7:42
  Please get me one too, because I'm too ported by my own.
• 7:45
  Well, we'll get a pod one.
• 7:46
  It'll be like a shame.
• 7:47
  Yeah.
• 7:48
  We'll get a pod one.
• 7:49
  Okay.
• 7:50
  Thank you.
• 7:51
  Write that down.
• 7:52
  I'm writing it down.
• 7:53
  So they've been doing these letters since 1952, which before Alaska was even a state, it
• 7:59
  became a state in 1959.
• 8:01
  Oh my God.
• 8:02
  Yeah.
• 8:03
  I forget how recently Alaska became a state.
• 8:07
  Yeah.
• 8:08
  That's after World War II.
• 8:10
  Like, yeah, I totally know the dates for that.
• 8:13
  I'm 100% agree with you.
• 8:15
  Well, World War II ended in the mid-40s.
• 8:21
  Sure.
• 8:22
  Yep.
• 8:23
  I don't know why that's one of those dates in history that it's like, it's my mile marker.
• 8:27
  I know I talked about it before, but I like had to Google it.
• 8:31
  Yeah.
• 8:32
  It's like something I just know.
• 8:33
  No, it's just one of the only dates that I just sort of have memorized.
• 8:37
  It helps me like, acquaint myself.
• 8:39
  Yeah.
• 8:40
  That's how I know.
• 8:41
  If it didn't happen like close enough to World War II, there's a good chance I'm very
• 8:47
  confused.
• 8:48
  You're lost in time.
• 8:49
  Yeah, basically.
• 8:50
  I'm always lost in time because all time it's happening all at the same time.
• 8:53
  So it doesn't even matter when the dates are because they're all just happening at once.
• 8:56
  And yeah, I'm shutting down.
• 8:59
  Listen, what was it?
• 9:02
  It was all the guys were, it was the TikTok thing where everybody was like, how often do
• 9:09
  you think about ancient Rome?
• 9:11
  Yes.
• 9:12
  World War II is my ancient Rome.
• 9:13
  Right.
• 9:14
  And time being non-existent is mine.
• 9:18
  I love that for us.
• 9:22
  So these official Santa letters are written on old, timey paper.
• 9:26
  So it's like the paper that they started with basically they haven't changed it since
• 9:30
  the '60s.
• 9:31
  Shut the--
• 9:32
  But a front door.
• 9:33
  Yeah, I think you can pick different options though, but why would you?
• 9:36
  I want the original old timey paper.
• 9:38
  Yeah.
• 9:39
  I don't think they made a bunch in the '60s and then kept it.
• 9:42
  I think they just pre-printed.
• 9:43
  Oh, I'm sure they're.
• 9:44
  Yeah.
• 9:45
  It's not actually old paper.
• 9:47
  That'd be so cool.
• 9:48
  The vibe is old.
• 9:50
  The vibe is old.
• 9:51
  It comes with.
• 9:52
  Are you ready?
• 9:53
  No.
• 9:54
  But tell me.
• 9:55
  It comes with a photo of Santa.
• 9:59
  The real Santa, you guys.
• 10:01
  Obviously.
• 10:02
  A Santa Claus dollar, which I don't know what you could buy for that, but it sounds like
• 10:06
  it would be worth a lot.
• 10:08
  A Santa Claus dollar?
• 10:09
  Like the exchange rate.
• 10:11
  I don't know.
• 10:12
  It's got to be worth at least a million of our stupid regular dollars, right?
• 10:15
  I mean, if you tell me it's anything less, I'm really going to be-- I'm going to be
• 10:20
  heated.
• 10:21
  Santa Claus dollars.
• 10:23
  Somebody tell us.
• 10:24
  And, an official, I'm on the good list sticker.
• 10:29
  That's adorable.
• 10:30
  I also want them to make I'm on the bad list ones.
• 10:33
  Yeah.
• 10:34
  For me.
• 10:35
  Yeah.
• 10:36
  I don't think they do, though.
• 10:37
  Well, I'm sure there's a Nazi shop for that.
• 10:40
  I could say that's true.
• 10:41
  I was like, I can see parents getting both of them and just being like, which one are you?
• 10:47
  Yeah.
• 10:48
  I'm not even.
• 10:51
  And for an extra charge, you can be on the naughty list, no, I'm just kidding.
• 10:57
  I totally-- wow.
• 10:59
  Go look at that.
• 11:00
  You can be on Santa's now.
• 11:02
  It's a list.
• 11:03
  No, but for an extra charge, you can own your very own slice of the North Pole.
• 11:09
  One square inch to be exact.
• 11:11
  You literally get a deed for it.
• 11:14
  I didn't look up how much any of this cost.
• 11:17
  But you can totally do that.
• 11:19
  It's got to be pretty affordable.
• 11:20
  It's probably not outrageous.
• 11:21
  If it's one square inch, can you use your Santa dollar to buy it?
• 11:25
  Oh!
• 11:26
  We should ask them.
• 11:28
  OK, we're going to need to look into this.
• 11:31
  I have a lot of follow-up questions.
• 11:33
  You're me, too.
• 11:34
  Look in here for us.
• 11:35
  Again, fully an adult.
• 11:37
  But I have a lot of child brain questions.
• 11:39
  And now I'm better informed as an adult to ask the right questions.
• 11:44
  I feel like no one thinks that we're fully adults.
• 11:47
  So that's fine.
• 11:49
  You can actually send letters here, too.
• 11:51
  And they do read them.
• 11:52
  And they put them up on their letter walls that they have around Santa's house.
• 11:58
  They can't respond to every letter, obviously, because they just get so many.
• 12:02
  And then there's all the ones that are being paid for that they have to respond to.
• 12:06
  Yeah.
• 12:07
  But you can always write them a letter.
• 12:09
  They say they love to get them.
• 12:10
  And they get them from all over the world.
• 12:13
  Oh, that's so sweet.
• 12:14
  Yeah.
• 12:15
  Just don't expect a response.
• 12:16
  Maybe, you know, OK, if any kids are listening, tell them to put their ear in my son.
• 12:22
  Maybe just do your own Santa letter to respond if you can't afford it.
• 12:27
  So this all started when Con and Nellie Miller lived in Fairbanks.
• 12:32
  Con traveled around locally as a merchant and became well-known, especially to children,
• 12:37
  not in a creepy way.
• 12:38
  OK.
• 12:39
  He became well-known for dressing in a Santa suit every Christmas season while he went
• 12:44
  around and did his trading stuff.
• 12:47
  That's adorable.
• 12:48
  Isn't it so cute?
• 12:49
  Just to see this guy and I picture him carrying all of his supplies.
• 12:51
  I don't know if he did or not, but just carrying him in a sack and he was like, actual Santa.
• 12:57
  I don't know if that's true, but--
• 12:58
  So cute.
• 13:00
  In 1952, they moved to an area that sounds like it was already starting to be called the
• 13:05
  North Pole.
• 13:06
  I really don't.
• 13:07
  Just from reading the few articles, I'm not sure which came first, but I think it started
• 13:12
  being called the North Pole.
• 13:13
  That's probably why they moved.
• 13:15
  Maybe.
• 13:16
  It was calling to them.
• 13:17
  I think so.
• 13:18
  Or it was just all synchronistic.
• 13:21
  Yeah.
• 13:22
  I believe that in my heart.
• 13:24
  So they moved out there because they wanted to build their own trading post.
• 13:27
  And it was like a remote area so they didn't have one out there.
• 13:30
  So they wanted to build their own.
• 13:32
  I guess in the midst of building a little boy who recognized Con came by and said, hello,
• 13:39
  Santa Claus.
• 13:40
  Are you building a new house?
• 13:42
  And so he was like, actually, I wasn't like planning on this being Santa's house, but it totally
• 13:48
  could be Santa's house.
• 13:50
  Stop it.
• 13:51
  In the North Pole.
• 13:52
  Isn't so freaking cute.
• 13:55
  It's so adorable that I might die.
• 13:58
  So anyway, the kid comes by, asks if the Santa's new house, and it was all down the snowy slopes
• 14:04
  from there.
• 14:06
  And it was always and forever called the Santa Claus house.
• 14:10
  They also opened a post office naturally because they have to send Santa letters.
• 14:15
  Natch.
• 14:16
  It was ran by Nellie.
• 14:17
  So she was the post mistress at the time.
• 14:21
  And she was also the marriage commissioner and 100% married people inside the Santa Claus
• 14:27
  house.
• 14:28
  That is so cute.
• 14:31
  I just think everyone in the area had to have gotten married by her in the Santa Claus house.
• 14:35
  You know?
• 14:36
  I mean, if they didn't, like, what are you even doing?
• 14:41
  What are you doing with your life, man?
• 14:43
  Seriously, bro.
• 14:44
  Are you going to get married at the post office?
• 14:47
  Bro.
• 14:48
  I don't think they were the same building.
• 14:50
  I don't know.
• 14:51
  To be honest with you.
• 14:53
  Yeah, that's an interesting, I guess.
• 14:55
  She would probably marry people wherever they wanted to get married.
• 14:58
  Yeah.
• 14:59
  I would assume.
• 15:00
  Yeah.
• 15:01
  But here's the thing is I'm all about like, do you're wedding the way you want?
• 15:06
  Unless one of your options is the Santa Claus house.
• 15:10
  Yeah.
• 15:11
  Hello.
• 15:12
  Married at the Santa Claus house.
• 15:13
  Christmas wedding.
• 15:14
  So cute.
• 15:15
  Also, Con was the mayor for 19 years.
• 15:19
  Because like Duh.
• 15:20
  Of course he was.
• 15:22
  Yeah.
• 15:23
  So did he, okay, but I need to know.
• 15:26
  Did he run on the ticket as Con Miller, right?
• 15:31
  Or did he run as Santa Claus?
• 15:34
  I don't know.
• 15:35
  We're going to need to do some digging in the historical record.
• 15:38
  I feel like for legal purposes, you have to run with your given name, your legal name.
• 15:43
  But he may be in parentheses.
• 15:45
  It was like Santa Claus.
• 15:48
  That's a good point.
• 15:49
  That's a good point.
• 15:50
  Yeah.
• 15:51
  I feel like probably that's correct.
• 15:53
  I've now officially entered fantasy holiday Santa Land.
• 15:58
  And I'm like, rules don't apply.
• 16:01
  Rules never apply to Santa.
• 16:03
  Yeah.
• 16:04
  Just sit on his lap, willy nilly.
• 16:06
  Yeah.
• 16:07
  I mean, here's the thing.
• 16:08
  Why can't he run as Santa?
• 16:10
  We, you know, clearly don't have rules for our elected officials anymore.
• 16:16
  Yeah.
• 16:17
  Yeah.
• 16:18
  Yeah.
• 16:19
  It's kind of a, it's a free, fun free for all.
• 16:20
  So fun.
• 16:21
  We're all having fun.
• 16:23
  Anyway, Santa Claus house has moved from its very original location.
• 16:34
  Because they put in like a big highway, you know, like the big famous Alaska highway or
• 16:39
  whatever.
• 16:40
  Oh, right, right, right, right.
• 16:41
  That thing.
• 16:42
  We've talked about it.
• 16:43
  Yeah, they put that in.
• 16:44
  And so they did move it because it wasn't, it was no longer on the main road and they
• 16:47
  wanted it to be on the main road.
• 16:49
  Yeah.
• 16:50
  And it was, it was just a trading post kind of like a local grocery store.
• 16:55
  So it wasn't totally Christmified until they moved it.
• 17:00
  And that's when they just went all out.
• 17:02
  Totally Christmas.
• 17:03
  Christmas.
• 17:04
  Oh, and of course they have the antler academy of flying and reindeer games right next
• 17:11
  store.
• 17:12
  Say more words.
• 17:13
  That was all the words I had.
• 17:15
  The antler academy of flying and reindeer games.
• 17:19
  So they just have like a farm of reindeer's next store.
• 17:21
  Oh, freaking cute.
• 17:22
  Oh my God.
• 17:24
  I don't think they actually fly.
• 17:26
  But I mean, we can't know that for sure.
• 17:29
  If your child they 100% fly.
• 17:31
  Yeah, 1000%.
• 17:32
  Obviously.
• 17:33
  It's just science.
• 17:35
  Okay.
• 17:36
  Well, you didn't think this would all be fun and reindeer games did you?
• 17:40
  Shut the fuck up.
• 17:42
  Okay.
• 17:43
  This is a spooky episode.
• 17:44
  Do what I told you.
• 17:45
  I do.
• 17:46
  I forgot where I was.
• 17:47
  I told you at the very beginning.
• 17:48
  I found Fairbanks from all the spooky stories that they had.
• 17:54
  I know.
• 17:55
  I got, I got us really excited and warm with Christmas and Santa and then I'm going to
• 18:00
  just.
• 18:01
  Eviscerate the happiness.
• 18:04
  Right away.
• 18:05
  I'll leave the really bad stuff until the end.
• 18:08
  Okay.
• 18:09
  Good job.
• 18:10
  Because I think I think everyone's going to hate me at the end.
• 18:13
  I'm so sorry.
• 18:14
  But it brought me joy.
• 18:16
  So honestly, it sounds like you should be.
• 18:20
  I'm just over here crushing the Christmas spirit.
• 18:25
  Scrooge McDuck.
• 18:27
  Hey, at least I have money.
• 18:29
  I know.
• 18:30
  You get the money or word and you just like, I'm like, wait, no, is Scrooge McDuck different
• 18:35
  from the McDuck that has all the money?
• 18:37
  No, Scrooge.
• 18:38
  Because it's Ebenezer Scrooge.
• 18:40
  Oh, right.
• 18:41
  Okay.
• 18:42
  Yeah.
• 18:43
  Okay.
• 18:44
  How many McDuck's are there?
• 18:45
  Oh, and no.
• 18:46
  There's no way to know.
• 18:48
  Okay.
• 18:49
  Anyway, let's, let's, you're stalling.
• 18:50
  I can tell.
• 18:51
  I am doing no such thing.
• 18:54
  Fairbanks is located in Alaska's interior.
• 18:58
  It's inside of her.
• 19:00
  North of the Denali National Park and South of the Arctic Circle.
• 19:05
  I don't know where either of those are, but I was like, ah, Twilight, the Denali coming.
• 19:12
  I know her.
• 19:15
  Twilight.
• 19:16
  Oh, my God.
• 19:17
  That's the last time I'll bring up Twilight ever.
• 19:22
  Okay.
• 19:23
  I really doubt it.
• 19:25
  What does a mining town along the Chena River Fairbanks is the golden heart of Alaska?
• 19:32
  I love it.
• 19:34
  It's so cute.
• 19:35
  I know.
• 19:36
  Why are you about to crush it?
• 19:37
  I'm not.
• 19:38
  Okay.
• 19:39
  I'm not.
• 19:40
  I promise.
• 19:41
  You're like, it's already crushed.
• 19:42
  So it's been crushed.
• 19:43
  Okay.
• 19:44
  Done been crushed.
• 19:45
  Already.
• 19:46
  It is a freaking gorgeous place.
• 19:49
  Yeah.
• 19:50
  And they have a lot of cool things to do there.
• 19:52
  They have an ice museum.
• 19:54
  Oh.
• 19:55
  And the photo appeared to have an ice bar inside.
• 19:58
  So like, I'm going to need you to agree to go with me here before I tell you the rest.
• 20:04
  Also, we have someone that frequents Alaska that has been begging.
• 20:08
  Oh, yeah.
• 20:09
  Yes.
• 20:10
  Baking to arrange some pod adventures.
• 20:12
  You know who you are.
• 20:13
  I want to go to Fairbanks.
• 20:15
  Yeah.
• 20:16
  I don't know what part of Alaska she typically visits, but I'm about we could do some arm twisting.
• 20:23
  Yeah.
• 20:24
  I don't do a pod trip, you guys.
• 20:26
  I think we should do a lot of pod trips.
• 20:28
  Yeah.
• 20:29
  All over the place.
• 20:31
  All over.
• 20:32
  So let's start out a place that was left over from the town's Gold Rush Days.
• 20:37
  Yes.
• 20:38
  The pump house restaurant.
• 20:40
  Oh.
• 20:41
  The Chena pump house was built in 1933 to do like the name sounds and pull water out of
• 20:48
  the river where they didn't want it and pump it to where they needed it for like,
• 20:53
  you know, mining stuff.
• 20:54
  Oh, okay.
• 20:55
  Yeah.
• 20:56
  So not like municipal like drinking water.
• 20:58
  No, it was definitely for mining.
• 21:00
  Okay.
• 21:01
  They have to like, you know, take water out of places to like search for things, but they need
• 21:05
  water out of other places.
• 21:06
  Yeah.
• 21:07
  So they have to like come up with all these pump buildings to do that job.
• 21:11
  So interesting.
• 21:13
  Mining stuff.
• 21:14
  Mining.
• 21:15
  And in 1958, this was like a little over 20 years later.
• 21:21
  And the land was sufficiently all mined up.
• 21:24
  The building was stripped of its machinery and left sitting for another 20 years.
• 21:29
  Oh, interesting.
• 21:31
  Just an abandoned building.
• 21:33
  Like what's the big deal?
• 21:35
  What could be wrong?
• 21:37
  I think it'll be fine.
• 21:39
  I think it turns out fine.
• 21:41
  They fixed it up to make it this super cute restaurant on the river.
• 21:44
  Okay.
• 21:45
  Yeah.
• 21:46
  That's right.
• 21:47
  Okay.
• 21:48
  Yeah.
• 21:49
  - More. - Cool.
• 21:51
  - Despite it's very blue-collar origins
• 21:54
  and authentic antique decor.
• 21:57
  - Ooh. - She's got a pretty fancy pants menu.
• 22:00
  - Ooh. - Ooh.
• 22:01
  - And I'm just gonna casually air drop this to Caitlyn's phone,
• 22:04
  like not for bribery purposes or anything, you know?
• 22:08
  - Oh my God, you know they have good seafood.
• 22:10
  (laughing)
• 22:12
  I know what you're doing.
• 22:14
  - I knew it. - I knew it.
• 22:15
  - I knew it. - What's the first thing
• 22:16
  on the menu, Caitlyn?
• 22:18
  - Oysters on the half-shell.
• 22:20
  - I was just totally, I was like,
• 22:21
  what's the first thing on the menu?
• 22:23
  - What's the first thing?
• 22:24
  - And then I promptly got so excited,
• 22:26
  I beat my microfiber sand.
• 22:29
  - Oyster! - Oyster!
• 22:30
  (laughing)
• 22:32
  - We are losing it.
• 22:34
  - Oh God, well don't read the second thing
• 22:36
  on the menu, Jesus.
• 22:38
  - Oh yeah, that's kind of a bummer.
• 22:40
  - Reindeer sausage.
• 22:42
  - I hear it's delicious.
• 22:43
  - I mean, I don't think I could do it.
• 22:45
  - I'm sure they have like, rain deer
• 22:47
  is at just die naturally, full-daged,
• 22:49
  and they have to do something with their body, right?
• 22:52
  - Those are usually not the tasty ones.
• 22:55
  - Oh!
• 22:56
  - I eat the reindeer, I'm not gonna lie.
• 22:57
  It's served with a garlic baguette, fuck yeah.
• 23:00
  (laughing)
• 23:01
  - Three to all, it's this fresh steamed clams
• 23:03
  with reindeer sausage.
• 23:05
  - I'm not a big clams gal.
• 23:07
  - I love me clams.
• 23:08
  - And like clam chowder.
• 23:10
  - Anyway, if you keep scrolling down,
• 23:11
  there's like a really cute bear on the menu.
• 23:14
  - Oh, that's a cute bear.
• 23:15
  That's a real cute bear.
• 23:17
  Oh, and they do have chowder, seafood chowder.
• 23:20
  - Oh, more than just chowder.
• 23:22
  - More than just chowder.
• 23:23
  So they are the Senator Saloon,
• 23:27
  which is in this restaurant,
• 23:30
  is the world's northernmost oyster bar.
• 23:32
  - Okay, well obviously I have to.
• 23:35
  - Like I eat a lot of oysters whenever I can.
• 23:37
  - But not the northernmost.
• 23:39
  - Yeah, no, not that.
• 23:40
  Obviously that's bucket list.
• 23:42
  (laughing)
• 23:43
  - Well, as you can imagine,
• 23:45
  this old historic building might have some lingering energy,
• 23:49
  possibly from miners who worked a dangerous job
• 23:52
  and no doubt some lives were lost in the process.
• 23:55
  - I'm sure everything was fine.
• 23:58
  - I probably wasn't that fine.
• 24:00
  - I don't know, that job seems pretty dangerous.
• 24:02
  - Yeah, it's super dangerous.
• 24:03
  - It turns out like everything you do in Alaska
• 24:05
  is like world dangerous.
• 24:07
  Walking down the street, dangerous, crabbing, dangerous.
• 24:11
  - Well, if you're saying, oh, you're fine.
• 24:13
  One person who worked in the building
• 24:15
  for a short period of time,
• 24:17
  until they witnessed a white figure.
• 24:20
  Ah, white people.
• 24:22
  (laughing)
• 24:24
  It's understandable,
• 24:25
  where the normally historic.
• 24:27
  - Yeah.
• 24:28
  (laughing)
• 24:29
  - So they did this white figure
• 24:30
  and they couldn't make out any of like its facial features
• 24:34
  or clothing, but it was coming.
• 24:37
  They say sideways through the kitchen door.
• 24:40
  (gasping)
• 24:41
  - I don't know if they mean sideways as in like,
• 24:44
  profilers.
• 24:45
  - Like crab walking.
• 24:46
  - Or sideways.
• 24:47
  - I don't like that.
• 24:48
  I don't, none of that is okay.
• 24:50
  - It wasn't very specific.
• 24:52
  - Oh my God, you should have warned me
• 24:53
  about what I needed to do with my feet.
• 24:55
  - So it's my feet.
• 24:56
  (laughing)
• 24:57
  - What in the hell?
• 24:58
  There might be somebody crab walking right underneath
• 25:01
  or does.
• 25:02
  - That's interesting that you picture like crab walking
• 25:04
  and I was just like, are they floating horizontal
• 25:07
  or are they profile?
• 25:09
  - I mean, I'm you're being full on like.
• 25:12
  (laughing)
• 25:14
  - Well, that would be so much freaky.
• 25:16
  - That would be freaky.
• 25:18
  - I feel like he wouldn't be as calm
• 25:19
  if they were crab walking.
• 25:20
  So I don't know if they were just like coming through
• 25:22
  that like sliding through the door.
• 25:24
  I'm not sure.
• 25:25
  - Like levitating is like, oh, okay.
• 25:28
  Yeah, I was prepared for a certain level of spookiness.
• 25:31
  That seems witchy.
• 25:33
  Am I able to get on board?
• 25:35
  Maybe you teach me.
• 25:36
  - You made up the crab walking.
• 25:37
  - I said nothing about the crabs.
• 25:39
  - I'm just saying.
• 25:41
  - It's a king crab walking.
• 25:42
  - It's a king crab walking.
• 25:43
  Well, we can eat it, okay.
• 25:46
  - Ooh, I don't.
• 25:47
  - So this person and this figure ended up
• 25:50
  just staring at each other.
• 25:52
  I don't know how he can tell.
• 25:54
  I guess you could kind of make out a face
• 25:56
  if you know that it's staring at you.
• 25:58
  - Yeah.
• 25:59
  - Like just directly.
• 26:01
  - Yeah.
• 26:02
  So I guess they were staring at each other
• 26:03
  until the only other living person in the room interrupted.
• 26:07
  It was the night watchman or the night man.
• 26:10
  If you're nasty.
• 26:11
  - Right.
• 26:12
  - Right.
• 26:13
  (laughing)
• 26:15
  - Oh my God.
• 26:16
  - That one time I was like,
• 26:18
  I kept saying night man and like,
• 26:20
  totally didn't even register.
• 26:21
  (laughing)
• 26:22
  And you're like, wait, I have to stop you.
• 26:24
  This is funny.
• 26:26
  You just think it's a casualty.
• 26:28
  I was like, do you even?
• 26:32
  It's always sunny.
• 26:33
  - I do, but I did not.
• 26:35
  It didn't register at the time.
• 26:37
  No, but now it definitely does.
• 26:38
  So this night man could tell that something happened
• 26:43
  because he asked, you saw a ghost.
• 26:46
  So apparently he's like, he knew what was up.
• 26:48
  - That's just how we roll around here.
• 26:51
  And of course the figure disappeared from sight after that.
• 26:55
  They went and checked the whole building.
• 26:58
  They secured the perimeter and no one was there.
• 27:01
  The night man also had an interesting story
• 27:05
  of how he'd once fought down an intruder
• 27:08
  in the middle of the night.
• 27:10
  And he had him on the floor in the intruder of Vanna.
• 27:14
  - No.
• 27:15
  - From underneath him.
• 27:16
  - That is unacceptable.
• 27:18
  - No, no thank you.
• 27:21
  - He just ghosted him.
• 27:23
  (laughing)
• 27:24
  - Yeah, he's like, literally.
• 27:26
  - Why?
• 27:27
  - That's the way to be like a thief.
• 27:30
  If you're just like a ghost,
• 27:32
  'cause you could just disappear.
• 27:33
  - No one can catch you.
• 27:35
  - But like if you're off being a ghost,
• 27:37
  doing ghost stuff, do you still care
• 27:40
  about stealing like hour stuff?
• 27:43
  - I don't know.
• 27:44
  - Yeah, I don't know what this one,
• 27:46
  if this ghost wanted to steal stuff,
• 27:47
  if he just wanted to hide in the bathroom
• 27:50
  and peep up women's skirts,
• 27:51
  I don't know what he wanted me to do.
• 27:53
  - Oh.
• 27:54
  - Gross.
• 27:56
  - You know what first I almost said,
• 27:57
  hang from the ceiling and look down their shirts,
• 28:00
  but I was like, wait, that's too creepy.
• 28:02
  - I don't know.
• 28:03
  - So creepy.
• 28:04
  - He's just fluttering around on the floor.
• 28:06
  (laughing)
• 28:07
  What did nasty ghost do?
• 28:09
  I don't know.
• 28:09
  - Okay, so I can literally never
• 28:12
  be below a ceiling or above a floor.
• 28:16
  - Never.
• 28:17
  - Okay.
• 28:18
  - You're fucked, my dude.
• 28:19
  - I was gonna say that's gonna be a problem.
• 28:22
  - So I also ran into this other article
• 28:25
  about a local paranormal investigation team
• 28:28
  who searched for a bigfoot type creature
• 28:30
  on Chena Pump Road.
• 28:32
  - Okay.
• 28:32
  - It's the road that this restaurant is on.
• 28:35
  - Okay.
• 28:35
  - Share remember the original name was
• 28:37
  Chena Pump House.
• 28:38
  - Yeah.
• 28:39
  - Pump House.
• 28:40
  - So that's interesting.
• 28:41
  I wonder, I don't know, 'cause it's Alaska.
• 28:43
  So was it a bear or was it a bigfoot?
• 28:46
  - Yeah, I feel like the bears are probably like,
• 28:49
  like our bears maybe like in Oregon and Washington,
• 28:53
  I feel like they're like,
• 28:55
  "Mmm, I'm up there."
• 28:56
  - They're a little bear.
• 28:57
  - And they're like little bears and you're like,
• 28:58
  "Okay, we're scared of bears,
• 29:00
  "but that's because we haven't seen like,
• 29:02
  "braa, bear." - Like Alaska bears.
• 29:04
  - Yeah.
• 29:05
  - Like we're not fucking around bears.
• 29:07
  - Yeah.
• 29:08
  - So I don't know.
• 29:09
  - Like we eat caribou bears. (laughs)
• 29:11
  - Well, I don't know, I hope it wasn't either one.
• 29:14
  I don't know, it's better. - Yeah.
• 29:15
  - I don't know, it's better a bigfoot or a bear.
• 29:17
  - I hear the bigfoot is really stinky.
• 29:19
  - Yeah, so. - smelly guy.
• 29:21
  - I feel like maybe I'd take, you know what?
• 29:23
  Here's the thing, in any situation,
• 29:26
  still taking the bear. - Still taking the bear.
• 29:28
  - Yeah.
• 29:28
  - Yeah, 'cause Bigfoot is like partly man, I think.
• 29:32
  - Yeah.
• 29:33
  - And you've got like human feet.
• 29:34
  - Yeah.
• 29:35
  - So I'm gonna give that a hard pass.
• 29:36
  I don't care how big your feet are, Bigfoot.
• 29:39
  Okay. - She does care.
• 29:41
  - I know I said I was a dick snob, but I'll take anything.
• 29:46
  Okay. (laughs)
• 29:48
  Moving along.
• 29:49
  So now we're going to a place that isn't very old.
• 29:51
  It was opened in 1994, but it's still an understandably
• 29:55
  spooky place.
• 29:57
  - Okay. - The Fairbanks Memorial Hospital.
• 30:00
  - Oh no.
• 30:01
  - Staff of experienced malfunctioning equipment,
• 30:05
  which I feel like isn't great for a hospital.
• 30:08
  - No, it's not ideal.
• 30:10
  - Come on, go, stop trying to make more of you.
• 30:12
  - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 30:13
  - Join us won't you?
• 30:15
  - No.
• 30:16
  - Staff have also heard unexplained noises,
• 30:20
  felt random chills and cold spots.
• 30:23
  - Okay.
• 30:23
  - And witness faucets turning on and off
• 30:27
  without the help of a living hand.
• 30:29
  - Okay.
• 30:30
  - So I don't care for that.
• 30:34
  - As someone who's actually experienced that,
• 30:36
  like arguably verified haunted hotel,
• 30:41
  I don't, water spirits, man.
• 30:44
  (laughs)
• 30:45
  - Why did the water spirits, why are they so interested in me?
• 30:50
  What's that about?
• 30:51
  - What is that?
• 30:53
  - It's 'cause you're too fiery
• 30:54
  and they're trying to put out your flame.
• 30:56
  - Some of the nurses have seen something
• 30:59
  that I think is kind of sweet, also kind of sad.
• 31:03
  They will sometimes see what they think are angels
• 31:06
  when someone is close to death.
• 31:08
  I think especially if it's a baby.
• 31:10
  'Cause they, I feel like they need extra help into the.
• 31:14
  - Yeah, I think that would,
• 31:16
  I don't even really like babies that much.
• 31:18
  And I just feel like that would probably be my last day
• 31:21
  nursing, probably.
• 31:24
  - Oh. - If you saw an angel of death.
• 31:26
  - Oh, for a baby?
• 31:28
  Like, okay, explain that one to me.
• 31:31
  Mr. Dick Lope.
• 31:33
  - Yeah.
• 31:34
  - I don't, it's awful.
• 31:36
  - I don't, I'm not interested in that.
• 31:38
  Thank you, goodbye forever.
• 31:40
  - But they also even hear sounds of babies crying
• 31:43
  in the maternity ward or the nursery.
• 31:45
  (snores)
• 31:46
  But I feel like how do you tell the difference
• 31:48
  between a ghost baby and just like a real baby?
• 31:51
  - 'Cause real baby?
• 31:52
  - All of the babies are sleeping
• 31:53
  and then they hear a ghost baby crying.
• 31:55
  But do they have, I don't know if they have cameras on them?
• 31:59
  How do they know one doesn't just like,
• 32:00
  (snores)
• 32:01
  and then fall back asleep?
• 32:02
  'Cause they do that.
• 32:03
  - I mean, it's possible, but like, think about this.
• 32:06
  - Okay, so they're looking at all the babies.
• 32:08
  - Yes, picture this.
• 32:10
  You're in the room.
• 32:12
  - Okay, this room doesn't exist anymore
• 32:13
  because it's not safe in hospitals to have a room
• 32:16
  where all the babies, you can just look at them
• 32:18
  through a window.
• 32:19
  - Oh, it's not safe.
• 32:20
  - Oh, 'cause it's like,
• 32:21
  - No, it's good.
• 32:22
  - No, it's good.
• 32:23
  - Oh, it's fucking steal them.
• 32:24
  - Yeah, okay.
• 32:24
  - That makes sense.
• 32:25
  - Picture you're in what used to be like the baby viewing room.
• 32:30
  They walled it up, okay?
• 32:32
  But all of the babies are still in the same room
• 32:35
  and all of the babies are sleeping.
• 32:37
  You're looking at them and you're like,
• 32:38
  "Oh, you're so cute.
• 32:39
  You're gonna be really fucking annoying
• 32:41
  "so the next 18 years, you're parents."
• 32:44
  Oh, so cute.
• 32:45
  Right now though.
• 32:46
  And all of a sudden you hear crying.
• 32:49
  And you're like, "That one's really annoying."
• 32:54
  But you're like, "None of these guys."
• 32:57
  - Yeah.
• 32:58
  - Nope, nope, nope.
• 33:00
  - But if it's another baby, just in with its mom.
• 33:03
  - I don't know.
• 33:04
  - I assume that if these nurses are reporting it
• 33:06
  and saying it's weird that something weird is going on
• 33:09
  'cause I feel like they know the difference.
• 33:11
  - Well, and generally I feel like so many people,
• 33:15
  specifically like if you're working in a hospital,
• 33:18
  like after a while, a lot of people,
• 33:20
  I think come to see things or hear things
• 33:23
  or like they have an awareness that there can be odd energy.
• 33:27
  But a lot of those people, like they're very much more
• 33:30
  of like a scientific mind.
• 33:32
  - Yeah.
• 33:33
  - They're not looking for spooky.
• 33:35
  So they're gonna try to explain that any other way.
• 33:38
  - Yeah.
• 33:39
  - Just stereotypically.
• 33:40
  There is also that thing though, like new,
• 33:42
  like not new moms, just I think moms in general
• 33:44
  or like me when I was a nanny.
• 33:46
  Like if you were in the bathroom or something you might hear
• 33:49
  like the baby crying and you run out there
• 33:51
  and be like, "Oh my God, why is the baby crying?"
• 33:52
  But it's like not actually crying.
• 33:54
  It's just like hearing it.
• 33:57
  - That happens to me.
• 33:58
  I feel like sometimes with the dogs.
• 34:00
  - Yeah.
• 34:01
  - Yeah.
• 34:02
  I feel like it's just like a,
• 34:03
  that must be like some sort of a phenomenon, right?
• 34:07
  - Yeah.
• 34:08
  So I don't know if it's that kind of thing
• 34:09
  or if it's actually just like residual,
• 34:13
  I hope it's residual baby crying.
• 34:15
  I hope it's not like an actual baby spirit.
• 34:18
  - Oh.
• 34:19
  - I feel like they're not connected enough to the earth
• 34:22
  to like be trapped here.
• 34:23
  I feel like when it's a baby,
• 34:25
  it's still like kind of half in the other world, you know?
• 34:29
  - Yeah.
• 34:30
  - So I feel like it's not super attached
• 34:32
  to where if it passed away it would stay.
• 34:34
  - Yeah.
• 34:34
  Like no, no, no, your brand new here.
• 34:36
  Just move on to better things.
• 34:38
  - Yeah.
• 34:38
  - Oh.
• 34:39
  - Next time little one.
• 34:40
  (baby crying)
• 34:43
  - That just reminded me of the Thanksgiving friends episode
• 34:46
  because Phoebe was telling stories of like her past life.
• 34:51
  - Oh.
• 34:52
  (laughing)
• 34:54
  And it's one of the things giving ones.
• 34:56
  And basically she's like telling somebody,
• 34:59
  "Oh, you think that was a bad Thanksgiving?"
• 35:01
  And it cuts to her where she's like a nurse giving
• 35:06
  like aid to people on the battlefield.
• 35:08
  And then all of a sudden there's like a mortar explosion
• 35:11
  and she's like losing an arm.
• 35:14
  And it happens twice in the episode.
• 35:16
  And it was just funny because then everybody goes,
• 35:20
  "No, Phoebe in this life."
• 35:23
  But Joe goes, "Oh, that's so sad."
• 35:25
  Like I don't remember any of my past life.
• 35:27
  So I'm so jealous.
• 35:28
  And she's like, "That's because you're brand new."
• 35:31
  - Oh, and Joey.
• 35:32
  - Okay, we can move on to one of my other favorite locations
• 35:38
  for Ghosts.
• 35:38
  - Do you say Ferret?
• 35:39
  - Favorite.
• 35:40
  - Okay.
• 35:41
  - May Fevera.
• 35:42
  - May Fevera.
• 35:43
  (laughing)
• 35:44
  - May Fevera.
• 35:44
  (laughing)
• 35:46
  - One of my favorite locations for Ghosties.
• 35:49
  - Furchill Cemetery.
• 35:51
  - Yeah, it seems like you'd find something there, I guess.
• 35:54
  Here you might catch a glimpse
• 35:56
  into the early 1900s with a fashion show
• 35:59
  from a lady in white,
• 36:01
  complete with a fancy hat,
• 36:04
  or a little boy and girl
• 36:06
  in clothing from that same era.
• 36:09
  Okay.
• 36:10
  People have also seen shadows or black figures
• 36:13
  that seem to float around the cemetery.
• 36:16
  - No.
• 36:17
  - But they usually say these shadows,
• 36:19
  they don't have a bad vibe,
• 36:21
  even though shadow people in general
• 36:24
  have kind of an evil vibe, these don't.
• 36:27
  And they did say it was kind of small
• 36:29
  and seemed playful.
• 36:31
  - Oh.
• 36:32
  - So it wasn't like a cat or something,
• 36:33
  like a little black.
• 36:35
  - Oh, maybe.
• 36:36
  - Yeah.
• 36:37
  - I was thinking though,
• 36:38
  like there's a lot of things that we associate.
• 36:42
  Like if you're talking about crystals,
• 36:44
  a lot of the darker like a black or a dark gray crystal,
• 36:48
  like it has a very protective energy.
• 36:51
  - Yeah.
• 36:51
  - So I'm just like, you, that's you.
• 36:55
  - It could go either way,
• 36:56
  'cause you know, we've heard about shadow people before
• 36:58
  that weren't great stories.
• 37:01
  - Yeah.
• 37:02
  - Yeah.
• 37:02
  But these ones seem okay.
• 37:03
  So we can go to the cemetery too and we visit
• 37:06
  after the oysters.
• 37:07
  - After you're all lubed up on oysters,
• 37:10
  we can go to the cemetery.
• 37:12
  - Yeah.
• 37:13
  - You guys, she is playing me like a fiddle.
• 37:16
  - Paranormal investigators have caught EVPs
• 37:19
  in the cemetery and even the photo of an apparition.
• 37:24
  - Hmm.
• 37:24
  - And I'm about to send you this photographic evidence
• 37:28
  that they caught.
• 37:30
  Air drop being,
• 37:32
  Air drop sponsors.
• 37:33
  (laughing)
• 37:36
  - We do it all the time.
• 37:38
  - We do it so often.
• 37:40
  (laughing)
• 37:41
  - Oh, but oh, I don't like that already.
• 37:44
  I can tell.
• 37:45
  No, no thank you.
• 37:47
  - Do you think this is real?
• 37:49
  - I mean, that's so hard to tell.
• 37:52
  That could be like a puff of smoke.
• 37:54
  This is a very grainy photo.
• 37:56
  - Someone's in their vaping.
• 37:58
  - Yeah, they're in their vaping phase.
• 38:00
  - But we're just gonna go off the assumption
• 38:02
  that this is real.
• 38:03
  - Oh, honestly, it could be a cloud of bugs.
• 38:05
  - Yeah.
• 38:06
  - This is somewhere in Alaska.
• 38:08
  Do they have bugs there?
• 38:09
  - There's a two-cold.
• 38:11
  - Oh, bitch.
• 38:11
  This time of year, everything's green.
• 38:14
  So yeah, they got some booze.
• 38:16
  - I don't know, I thought maybe it was too cold for bugs.
• 38:18
  - Yeah, I mean, when it's cold.
• 38:20
  And then, you know. - That's true.
• 38:21
  - They have a nice long period where it's,
• 38:26
  I mean, it's still, I would say,
• 38:28
  even during their summer,
• 38:29
  it's like kind of a temperate climate.
• 38:31
  It's not like hot, not hot, hot,
• 38:34
  in the way that people think of like new Mexico.
• 38:36
  - Yeah, probably feels great.
• 38:38
  I know it's probably incredible.
• 38:40
  Are we moving to Alaska?
• 38:42
  - I think we might be.
• 38:44
  - I'm down.
• 38:45
  I'm down to live there and see how it feels.
• 38:48
  - Just do like a quick little vibe check.
• 38:50
  - Yeah.
• 38:51
  - Next up, we have a haunted hotel.
• 38:54
  - Ooh.
• 38:55
  - The Westmark Fairbanks Hotel's room, 277,
• 39:00
  is apparently haunted by a large man.
• 39:04
  - No, thank you.
• 39:05
  - I would prefer the bear.
• 39:06
  - I feel like I've made my feelings clear.
• 39:09
  - Unless you're a feeder bird.
• 39:10
  - Okay, and just kidding.
• 39:12
  - Bear has big teeth.
• 39:14
  I've been given to understand.
• 39:15
  - You said I'm not allowed to date any bears
• 39:17
  because it's busy, I mean.
• 39:19
  - Oh, I didn't say date.
• 39:21
  I'm just saying like if you have to pick, you know.
• 39:24
  - Who'd be alone in room 277 with?
• 39:27
  - Yeah.
• 39:28
  - 'Cause you probably definitely don't want to be alone
• 39:30
  with this large man because he will push down
• 39:34
  on your bed at night and even poke your shoulders.
• 39:38
  - No.
• 39:39
  - And this is weird and creepy.
• 39:42
  He leaves evidence behind.
• 39:45
  Little finger marks in the carpet.
• 39:47
  - Oh, okay, that's not what I thought you were gonna say.
• 39:50
  - When you were talking about a creepy large man.
• 39:53
  - Leaving evidence behind.
• 39:55
  - And was like like evidence evidence?
• 39:57
  Like coming, coming.
• 39:59
  - Oh man.
• 40:01
  - Okay.
• 40:02
  - No, it just takes me back to, do you remember the scene
• 40:04
  in Super Bad where he's like, oh yeah, no,
• 40:07
  we're never gonna catch him.
• 40:08
  Yeah, no, I mean, I just, when I became a cop,
• 40:11
  I thought there was just like,
• 40:12
  "Giz all over everything."
• 40:14
  He's like, probably if he'd like jacked off
• 40:16
  and he'd left jizz behind, then we would catch him.
• 40:20
  Every criminal, just,
• 40:22
  I can jacking off everywhere they go.
• 40:25
  - No, please don't.
• 40:26
  - No.
• 40:27
  - Please, nobody do that.
• 40:28
  - No, thank you.
• 40:28
  - That's a private time, private time.
• 40:31
  - Yeah.
• 40:32
  - It's fine and private.
• 40:33
  However many times you wanna, 10 times a day,
• 40:35
  I don't really care, private time.
• 40:38
  - I mean that sometimes that might require medical attention,
• 40:42
  I feel, but I mean, again, not here to.
• 40:47
  - Not judgeable.
• 40:47
  - Very young.
• 40:48
  - If you're in your private time.
• 40:49
  - Yeah.
• 40:50
  - Okay.
• 40:51
  - I was just picturing though.
• 40:53
  So he's, I guess like leaving, like a dog,
• 40:56
  like leaving like scratches in the carpet.
• 41:00
  - Oh, I know.
• 41:00
  - But I picture him just like painstakingly trying
• 41:03
  to like draw patterns.
• 41:04
  - a Dick.
• 41:05
  (laughing)
• 41:07
  - You know how many foods are.
• 41:08
  - shaped like Dicks? the best kinds.
• 41:11
  - This is a very dick heavy episode, I'm so sorry.
• 41:15
  - I feel like it's really just super bad heavy.
• 41:17
  I'm just, I mean, wow.
• 41:19
  I should probably have a more current reference, but.
• 41:21
  - Yeah.
• 41:22
  - I, listen, if they get better in more current movies.
• 41:26
  - If they stick in my head, they stick in my head.
• 41:28
  I, I can't control how old I was when they stuck in my head.
• 41:31
  - Okay.
• 41:32
  - Yeah.
• 41:33
  - Well, speaking of Dicks, next we're swinging by
• 41:37
  the Reflections Nightclub.
• 41:40
  Do you love me or do you love me?
• 41:43
  - We're swinging by.
• 41:45
  (laughing)
• 41:46
  - So the Reflections Nightclub,
• 41:49
  so obviously it's a strip club.
• 41:51
  - Oh, is that what it is?
• 41:53
  - It is.
• 41:54
  - That's what it is.
• 41:55
  - Okay.
• 41:56
  - Nightclub, I think, usually does that imply?
• 41:59
  - I feel like Nightclub implies that it might be like
• 42:02
  sort of a bar, dancing, like a nightclub.
• 42:07
  I feel like.
• 42:07
  - Okay, I don't know.
• 42:08
  I thought that was called the Clurb.
• 42:10
  - The Clurb.
• 42:11
  - Am I wrong?
• 42:12
  - Well, I mean, there's all kinds of different clubs,
• 42:14
  but like a nightclub.
• 42:16
  - I guess I didn't know.
• 42:17
  - But this is a strip club.
• 42:18
  - Okay.
• 42:19
  Here's the thing.
• 42:20
  That's what it is and that's what it's called.
• 42:22
  - It is, yes.
• 42:23
  - And the performers there have seen another man.
• 42:27
  - A tall man on the stage.
• 42:29
  - You don't say a man in this establishment?
• 42:32
  - And this is a strip club.
• 42:34
  (laughing)
• 42:35
  - Do you see a tall man on stage wearing red pants
• 42:40
  in a white shirt?
• 42:42
  And I'm like, wait a minute, Santa?
• 42:44
  - Sexy Santa?
• 42:46
  To be a firefighter?
• 42:47
  - Could be.
• 42:49
  But when they approach this man who's on stage,
• 42:52
  no doubt to tell him to like get the fuck off the stage.
• 42:55
  - He's saying I find what are you doing here?
• 42:56
  This is not a male strip club.
• 42:58
  - Yeah.
• 42:59
  - We don't want your sexy rock hard butt.
• 43:02
  - and swinging dong-a-long.
• 43:05
  (laughing)
• 43:06
  On our stage.
• 43:08
  - dong-a-long.
• 43:09
  - In the tight red pants.
• 43:11
  - I don't know if they're tight.
• 43:13
  But he just, oh, I made this joke later.
• 43:16
  He ghosts them.
• 43:17
  He just vanishes, disappears off the stage,
• 43:21
  right in front of their eyes.
• 43:23
  - Okay.
• 43:24
  - He also lurks around in the shadows,
• 43:26
  watching them close down the club for the morning.
• 43:29
  'Cause I assume they close in the morning.
• 43:32
  - Oh, that's so creepy.
• 43:34
  - But I'm like, I don't know, maybe he's just watching over them.
• 43:37
  - He's like, well, I don't know what's the vibe.
• 43:40
  Is the vibe like, I'm watching you like,
• 43:43
  oh, scrub that.
• 43:44
  - Or like a stripper angel, like just protecting.
• 43:47
  - Yeah.
• 43:48
  - Like he's like a previous like, bouncer or something.
• 43:50
  - Yeah.
• 43:51
  - Who's like, just still looking out.
• 43:52
  'Cause he's like, yo, I know these men be trash.
• 43:56
  - What's with these red pants?
• 43:58
  Like red pants are not.
• 43:59
  - Red pants.
• 44:00
  - Yeah.
• 44:01
  - Something I see a lot of people wearing.
• 44:03
  - No, but you know what, actually.
• 44:05
  Okay. - Are they sweat pants?
• 44:09
  - Oh, they might be.
• 44:11
  They might be.
• 44:12
  No, I just, I just listened to a story
• 44:15
  about a guy in Florida who wore all red.
• 44:20
  - Okay.
• 44:21
  - He was a fireman.
• 44:23
  Pain in his whole house red, had red carpet.
• 44:29
  So he liked the color red.
• 44:31
  - He really liked red, okay.
• 44:33
  He had like a really shmancy sports car and stuff.
• 44:38
  And it was like, hey bro, how are you affording this?
• 44:42
  I'm like, you know, a public servant salary.
• 44:46
  Well, he was in Florida.
• 44:47
  - Oh, he was a Florida man.
• 44:50
  - He was a Florida man.
• 44:52
  - Oh, yeah.
• 44:53
  - So he was of course a cocaine man.
• 44:56
  - Oh, wow.
• 44:58
  - Okay, and a fireman.
• 45:00
  - Yeah. - Very, very interesting combo.
• 45:03
  He has disappeared.
• 45:06
  The FBI was on to him for like nine years.
• 45:11
  He disappeared.
• 45:13
  It's not been seen or heard from ever since.
• 45:16
  - Did he go to Alaska?
• 45:18
  Could be.
• 45:20
  - Who else is wearing red pants?
• 45:22
  - That's so weird.
• 45:24
  I was saying, I don't know.
• 45:25
  I don't know.
• 45:27
  I was kind of also picturing like a red track suit
• 45:30
  that you just took your jacket off, you know,
• 45:32
  and then you have a white shirt underneath.
• 45:34
  - What is it when you stop talking about my track suit?
• 45:36
  - Track suit.
• 45:38
  - It's just the lure.
• 45:39
  - Now you gotta get a red one.
• 45:41
  Who is a coral one?
• 45:42
  Was it like Eminem?
• 45:43
  Who like wears a red track suit?
• 45:45
  Okay. - Yeah, a lot of rappers.
• 45:46
  - No, he's not dead.
• 45:47
  Okay. - Yeah.
• 45:48
  - I was like, is it?
• 45:49
  - Yeah, I could see him being a strip club in his afterlife.
• 45:54
  - Yeah, I mean, that would make sense.
• 45:56
  - Maybe it is him because all time is happening all at once
• 45:59
  and I answered my own question
• 46:01
  in the beginning of this episode.
• 46:03
  Okay, I had to give you that really fun one before I end
• 46:06
  on something that.
• 46:08
  - Damn it.
• 46:09
  - I think you and probably a lot of other people
• 46:13
  are gonna hate me for.
• 46:15
  - Great. - I'm really excited about it.
• 46:17
  - Okay.
• 46:18
  - I've been like looking for an excuse
• 46:20
  to talk about these things
• 46:22
  and I cannot even believe that I stumbled upon this.
• 46:25
  - Okay.
• 46:26
  - One summer day in Fairbanks, Alaska,
• 46:30
  multiple people got a very unusual
• 46:33
  and terrifying surprise.
• 46:36
  Live lampreys were falling from the sky.
• 46:41
  Landing in normal every day,
• 46:44
  non-threatening places like the frift store
• 46:47
  or your front yard.
• 46:49
  People were really freaked out
• 46:51
  because these things aren't normally seen
• 46:53
  unless you're like Cassie and you go to your local zoo
• 46:57
  and stare at them all the time.
• 46:59
  - I don't know if I like it.
• 47:01
  - I just hate it.
• 47:03
  - Yeah, I just, oh God,
• 47:04
  and I shouldn't show you guys my roots right now.
• 47:07
  It's not cute.
• 47:08
  - So don't Google.
• 47:09
  Do you know what a lamprey looks like?
• 47:11
  - I'm not sure.
• 47:12
  - Okay, don't Google it.
• 47:14
  - Why?
• 47:14
  What do they look like?
• 47:15
  - Let me explain it to you.
• 47:16
  - Now I need to know.
• 47:18
  - Let me explain it to you first.
• 47:19
  - Oh, I had to.
• 47:20
  - And then you can,
• 47:21
  and then I'll send you pictures.
• 47:23
  (laughs)
• 47:25
  - Maybe I don't want pictures.
• 47:27
  Okay, describe it first.
• 47:28
  - Okay, I'm doing it.
• 47:29
  You're gonna see pictures.
• 47:31
  Let me just go off real quick.
• 47:32
  So I remember the last time I was at the zoo,
• 47:34
  I was really, really happy because they have like
• 47:38
  a tank of lampreys usually there.
• 47:40
  But the last time I had gone, they weren't there.
• 47:43
  I was really upset.
• 47:44
  But then they got them back.
• 47:46
  They had like a tank full of them.
• 47:48
  - Okay.
• 47:48
  - So it was so excited.
• 47:49
  And they had those big like,
• 47:51
  like posterboard things,
• 47:52
  you know where you stick your face in the hole
• 47:54
  and you take a picture.
• 47:55
  So I did that.
• 47:56
  (laughs)
• 47:58
  - Okay.
• 47:59
  - So I have a lot of fun pictures.
• 48:01
  (laughs)
• 48:02
  So in case you didn't know what these things look like.
• 48:04
  - What?
• 48:05
  - What beauties they are.
• 48:07
  They are fish.
• 48:09
  - I think.
• 48:10
  - But they look similar to snakes or eels.
• 48:13
  They look really similar to eels.
• 48:14
  - I have already out.
• 48:16
  - They can be up to about 15 inches long.
• 48:18
  - No, that's too long.
• 48:20
  - They have no scales or fins or jaws.
• 48:24
  Their mouths are circular suction cups.
• 48:27
  Full of multiple rows of sharp little teethies.
• 48:32
  - What the fuck?
• 48:34
  This is like, why?
• 48:37
  Why did we make this?
• 48:38
  - They're like really old fish.
• 48:41
  - Yeah, that's a fucking dinosaur.
• 48:43
  - Basically like a nightmare a sore.
• 48:46
  They are a beautiful nightmare you guys.
• 48:49
  - No.
• 48:51
  They are parasitic.
• 48:53
  So they use that horrifying mouth to latch on to larger fish.
• 48:58
  - And basically.
• 49:00
  - Basically suck their blood.
• 49:03
  So they're also known as vampire fish.
• 49:05
  - I know it.
• 49:08
  And I brought up Twilight earlier.
• 49:10
  I didn't even put that together.
• 49:11
  - You crazy.
• 49:12
  (laughs)
• 49:14
  - Everything's connected.
• 49:15
  - Okay, I think I do know what these are.
• 49:18
  I probably suck you a picture because I was so excited.
• 49:22
  I think I posted it on her.
• 49:23
  - I really don't want it.
• 49:26
  - I think I posted them on our story before too.
• 49:29
  - Okay.
• 49:30
  - So fun fact, their tongue is also full of sharp teeth.
• 49:35
  What the fuck?
• 49:37
  So they use that to like make deeper wounds.
• 49:40
  - No.
• 49:41
  - That they eat from and they can even burrow their tongues
• 49:44
  into like the stomach of another animal
• 49:47
  and eat what they eat.
• 49:49
  Oh my God, that's so disgusting.
• 49:52
  Oh my God.
• 49:53
  - That's so fucking foul.
• 49:55
  (laughs)
• 49:57
  - I'm sorry.
• 49:58
  - Oh, that sounds like a great weight loss plan.
• 50:00
  - That's what I was saying.
• 50:01
  I was like, can I just attach a little lamprey to my tummy
• 50:03
  and it can just be brubble.
• 50:05
  You know, my food for me?
• 50:07
  - Yeah.
• 50:09
  - I can name it.
• 50:10
  - Get all that turkey George.
• 50:12
  (laughs)
• 50:13
  - Okay, we might have stumbled onto something here.
• 50:16
  Is this a billion dollar idea?
• 50:19
  - It might be.
• 50:20
  Let's go grow some lampreys.
• 50:22
  - We'll have a lamprey hatchery.
• 50:24
  - No, no.
• 50:26
  - Lampries do spawn in the China River.
• 50:29
  So they think that seagulls were catching them
• 50:33
  and then just dropping them around town
• 50:35
  because they're so slippery.
• 50:36
  - Yeah, 'cause they're like,
• 50:37
  "What is this hideous fucking monster?"
• 50:39
  - Yeah.
• 50:40
  - I wonder if it did try to bite them,
• 50:40
  but they're also really slippery and like slithery
• 50:43
  and squirmy.
• 50:44
  - Yeah, I feel like that's for the best.
• 50:46
  - Drop that bitch.
• 50:47
  - Drop it into your lawn though.
• 50:49
  Can you imagine?
• 50:50
  - No.
• 50:51
  - Finding one of these things just like on the street.
• 50:54
  - No.
• 50:55
  - No, no I cannot.
• 50:57
  - Oh my God.
• 50:58
  - I don't, I don't want to imagine.
• 51:00
  I will not imagine.
• 51:01
  I shan't.
• 51:02
  - She will.
• 51:03
  - I simply can't.
• 51:05
  - Okay, I'm gonna send you these pictures.
• 51:07
  They're really cute. - Cute too.
• 51:08
  - Yes.
• 51:09
  - Okay.
• 51:10
  I can tell already it's a lot worse than what I thought.
• 51:15
  - Okay, I wasn't picturing this exactly.
• 51:18
  Oh my God, they're so disgusting.
• 51:20
  - They're so cool.
• 51:23
  - They do look like a vampire.
• 51:25
  Okay, this last one, that's awesome.
• 51:28
  (laughs)
• 51:29
  Me and the cardboard cutout of the,
• 51:32
  yeah, so you stick your face in the middle
• 51:35
  of the mouth of the lamprey.
• 51:39
  - I got it.
• 51:39
  - What is wrong with these?
• 51:42
  - When I tell you, I fucking screamed
• 51:44
  when I saw Fairbanks,
• 51:46
  and it said vampire fish falling from the sky,
• 51:49
  and I was like, "The fuck is that?"
• 51:51
  And I saw it with the lamprey, and I was like,
• 51:53
  "No way."
• 51:54
  These are one of my favorite things,
• 51:56
  and I have to find a way to talk about them on the podcast,
• 51:59
  and I finally did.
• 52:00
  - That's so lucky.
• 52:03
  - So are you ready to move to Fairbanks Alaska with me?
• 52:08
  - How often do they have those things falling from the sky?
• 52:12
  - So it's only been reported on ones that I saw,
• 52:16
  and there was only four of them around town.
• 52:18
  So it's not like there was a whole reign of lamprey.
• 52:23
  - That still seems like probably four too many.
• 52:25
  If I'm being honest, that's too many.
• 52:31
  - The only way to know is just to move there and find out.
• 52:33
  - Okay.
• 52:36
  - I five moves there and never saw a lamprey on my lawn.
• 52:39
  I would be pissed though.
• 52:41
  I feel like there's a really good chance
• 52:44
  that you would not have falling lamprey.
• 52:49
  Just falling from the sky and landing on your lawn.
• 52:55
  - God damn goals.
• 52:56
  - Eat your food, goals.
• 52:58
  - Eat your food, Tina.
• 53:01
  - Goal.
• 53:01
  - Tots.
• 53:03
  - What is that? Tina you fat lard?
• 53:07
  - Yes.
• 53:08
  That's not nice.
• 53:09
  - But it's an animal.
• 53:10
  - Tina.
• 53:11
  - Oh my, okay.
• 53:13
  - Well, should we do some tarot?
• 53:15
  - Yeah, probably.
• 53:17
  - Are you ready to leave the topic?
• 53:19
  - Yeah, uh-huh.
• 53:20
  - We'll see if it's forever.
• 53:21
  If I find another lamprey story, I'm telling it.
• 53:24
  - I just like how many lamprey stories could there be?
• 53:30
  - I'll find more you guys.
• 53:32
  - You guys tell me.
• 53:33
  - Let's start a lamprey fan club.
• 53:37
  Who's joining it with me?
• 53:38
  - That's a separate podcast.
• 53:41
  - All the lamprey's all the time.
• 53:44
  - Oh my God.
• 53:45
  No.
• 53:46
  - I come home with a tank of them.
• 53:50
  - Yeah.
• 53:51
  - I talk like I live with you.
• 53:52
  - I come home with a tank of them.
• 53:54
  - Yeah.
• 53:55
  - You're like, I'm just gonna put these in the pot lab.
• 53:56
  - I live in the pot lab now.
• 53:58
  I'll be your mind.
• 53:59
  - He thinks, man.
• 54:00
  Feed him every hour.
• 54:01
  He'll be by.
• 54:02
  - You've to touch him here.
• 54:04
  It's time.
• 54:05
  - All right, let's do some tarot.
• 54:08
  - Let's do it.
• 54:09
  Cassie is spreading out the deck.
• 54:17
  - She's spreading that deck.
• 54:19
  - Ooh.
• 54:21
  What is it?
• 54:21
  Ooh, you just made that comment about,
• 54:25
  can you get me Christmas lights?
• 54:27
  - We drew the sun card.
• 54:31
  - Really?
• 54:32
  - Yes.
• 54:33
  And it is on the card, I'm using my nightmare
• 54:36
  before Christmas deck.
• 54:37
  So it's the one where Jack is in Christmas town
• 54:40
  and he's holding the lights in his eyeball sockets
• 54:43
  and he's just mesmerized by Christmas.
• 54:46
  - Wow.
• 54:46
  Okay, so this is oddly appropriate for
• 54:50
  sort of a Christmasy themed episode.
• 54:54
  - Yeah.
• 54:55
  - All right, so our key words are happiness, success,
• 54:59
  pleasure, self-expression, clarity and vitality.
• 55:03
  Just currently everything that I'm lacking.
• 55:06
  (laughing)
• 55:08
  The sun card features a blazing sun, sometimes with a face,
• 55:12
  sun beams rating out from it, radiating, radiating.
• 55:16
  - Radiating?
• 55:17
  - Radiating, radiating, out from it.
• 55:20
  Beneath the sun in the writer wait Smith deck,
• 55:23
  a smiling nude child rides a white horse.
• 55:27
  Some deck show two children with their arms around each other.
• 55:31
  - No.
• 55:32
  - Other decks picture a couple holding hands.
• 55:35
  - Romantic.
• 55:36
  - So Christmasy.
• 55:37
  - Yeah.
• 55:38
  - The sun rules the zodiac sign Leo,
• 55:40
  which astrologers link with children,
• 55:42
  pleasure and creativity.
• 55:45
  I can only vouch for some of those.
• 55:47
  (laughing)
• 55:48
  Creativity for sure.
• 55:49
  - Yeah.
• 55:50
  (laughing)
• 55:51
  - The sun card represents life itself.
• 55:54
  For the sun gives life to everything on earth.
• 55:57
  One of the most joyful cards in the tarot,
• 55:59
  it signifies vitality, confidence, achievement,
• 56:03
  attainment and success in all endeavors.
• 56:06
  We do have an extra excerpt,
• 56:08
  and this is the part that I just glam sat
• 56:10
  and said, "Oh, Christmasy."
• 56:11
  - Ooh!
• 56:13
  - Each day comes bearing its gifts,
• 56:15
  untie the ribbons.
• 56:17
  - Oh, like Santa Claus gives you gifts.
• 56:19
  - Just like Santa.
• 56:20
  The sun brightens any negative cards in a reading,
• 56:25
  no matter where it appears in the spread.
• 56:28
  Just like me.
• 56:29
  - Does it brighten the vampire fish?
• 56:32
  - Situation or the ghost haunting me.
• 56:37
  - I don't know.
• 56:38
  - I think so.
• 56:39
  There was a bright side to that.
• 56:40
  - I get it.
• 56:41
  - I got to talk about it on my podcast.
• 56:43
  - Yeah.
• 56:44
  (laughing)
• 56:45
  - Yay.
• 56:45
  (laughing)
• 56:47
  - Its influence is always beneficial.
• 56:50
  A new day is dawning and you're glad to be alive.
• 56:53
  I feel like this is a direct attack on me right now.
• 56:57
  (laughing)
• 56:58
  - I mean the lamprey's died, so.
• 57:01
  - I know and I feel like I'm kind of slowly dying
• 57:03
  a little bit right now, so here we go.
• 57:05
  - I thought that would make you feel better.
• 57:07
  - You lived, they died.
• 57:10
  - Yeah, I mean that does feel like some sort of justice.
• 57:14
  - I guess.
• 57:15
  - I don't know.
• 57:16
  - Yeah, well that's all we can do.
• 57:18
  Whatever your question, the answer is positive.
• 57:21
  For creative people, the sun can indicate a time
• 57:24
  of increased inspiration and productivity.
• 57:27
  - I feel like I'm being directly trolled at this moment.
• 57:32
  But how productive is Santa?
• 57:35
  - He's so productive.
• 57:37
  Like the efficiency is, I mean it's flawless, it's floralists.
• 57:42
  Whatever you undertake at this time is likely to prosper.
• 57:46
  For the sun is shining on you.
• 57:48
  This is a good time to start new projects
• 57:50
  and expand your horizons.
• 57:52
  It's your day in the sun.
• 57:55
  Aw.
• 57:56
  In a reading about money, you may receive rewards
• 57:58
  for your work or talent.
• 58:01
  Investments and business ventures pay off.
• 58:04
  Opportunities abound.
• 58:05
  For creative people, this card suggests you'll benefit
• 58:09
  financially from your artistic endeavors.
• 58:11
  Maybe it knows we just got some new subscribers
• 58:14
  and an upgrade on Patreon.
• 58:16
  - This isn't about us, okay.
• 58:18
  - I mean it's like a little about us.
• 58:20
  If the reading is about your job,
• 58:22
  the sun marks a period of prosperity, enthusiasm,
• 58:25
  honors, public recognition and attainment.
• 58:29
  So I have no idea who that's about.
• 58:31
  But it's gotta be clearly from the story.
• 58:33
  - Yeah, it's about, his name is Khan.
• 58:37
  I'm trying Miller, Con Miller who built the Santa Claus house.
• 58:41
  - Yes.
• 58:42
  - So his trade business was like booming
• 58:45
  and then he made his own trade house
• 58:48
  which ended up being Santa Claus house.
• 58:50
  - We love that for him.
• 58:52
  I feel like he just kept rolling like a snowball.
• 58:56
  You know, just kept rolling in the dough.
• 58:58
  - I love the metaphor.
• 59:00
  And now he gets paid to write Santa letters.
• 59:03
  - The dream, seriously.
• 59:05
  - You feel confident in your abilities
• 59:08
  and attract opportunities to show the world what you can do.
• 59:11
  Step into the spotlight, it's your time to shine.
• 59:14
  - And like he didn't even try.
• 59:16
  It just like-- - It's true, yeah.
• 59:17
  - Kind of all just like happened.
• 59:19
  - Yeah, by him just doing what he loved and being himself.
• 59:22
  - Oh, yeah.
• 59:24
  So sweet. - It is sweet.
• 59:26
  - It does remind me of us.
• 59:28
  (laughing)
• 59:29
  - Well, that, well, that.
• 59:30
  - Okay, I feel like this is maybe also about Con.
• 59:36
  In a reading about love, the sun represents
• 59:38
  a happy pleasurable relationship
• 59:40
  in which you feel content and comfortable.
• 59:44
  You and your partner inspire each other
• 59:46
  and enjoy being together.
• 59:47
  If you're looking for love, this card
• 59:49
  can herald a bright and beautiful romance.
• 59:52
  Con and Nellie.
• 59:53
  - Yeah. - And then Nellie was the post mistress!
• 59:56
  and the marriage-- - Post mistress.
• 59:58
  - Oh, and she did the marriages too.
• 1:00:00
  - Yeah. - Yeah, that's right.
• 1:00:03
  - My gosh.
• 1:00:04
  - Oh, this is interesting.
• 1:00:06
  Okay, and there's another extra excerpt.
• 1:00:08
  The Sun King.
• 1:00:10
  Pagan mythology describes the apparent passage
• 1:00:12
  of the sun through the heavens each year
• 1:00:15
  as the journey of the sun king.
• 1:00:18
  Who drives his bright chariot across the sky.
• 1:00:20
  Literally, you guys say-- - Santa.
• 1:00:22
  Santa is the sun king.
• 1:00:24
  - Just say.
• 1:00:25
  - Revolutionary. - Yes.
• 1:00:28
  In pre-Christian Europe and Britain,
• 1:00:30
  the winter solstice celebrated the sun king's birth.
• 1:00:33
  This beloved deity brought light into the world
• 1:00:36
  during the darkest time of all.
• 1:00:38
  Like winter time?
• 1:00:39
  - Yeah. - Winter solstice
• 1:00:40
  is like celebrating the return of the sun.
• 1:00:43
  - Wow. - This is like so connected and crazy.
• 1:00:47
  - I know, you don't really expect the sun card
• 1:00:50
  to really tie to Christmas so much, but there it is.
• 1:00:54
  - There you have it.
• 1:00:55
  - Since the Christian's stole Christmas from the Pagans
• 1:00:58
  and then they mentioned the Pagans
• 1:01:00
  and the winter solstice. - It's a whole dance day.
• 1:01:02
  - And wow, that was cool.
• 1:01:04
  - And I like it.
• 1:01:05
  - I really liked that.
• 1:01:06
  - It's fun.
• 1:01:07
  - I was also thinking too.
• 1:01:08
  I did mention it.
• 1:01:10
  The photo on the card was Jack Skellington in Christmas land.
• 1:01:15
  So that was pretty cool.
• 1:01:17
  Because he was like in the Christmas land, in the card.
• 1:01:21
  We talked about the North Pole.
• 1:01:23
  It's basically where Jack Skellington went.
• 1:01:26
  I mean, it's like, “Christmas land."
• 1:01:28
  (laughing)
• 1:01:29
  Oh, I love that.
• 1:01:30
  That was perfect.
• 1:01:31
  I wanted to see if there was something
• 1:01:33
  in the little interpretation book.
• 1:01:35
  When cloudy skies pass, the sun comes out.
• 1:01:38
  Shining warmth and happiness on everyone's lives.
• 1:01:41
  The excitement, renewed energy,
• 1:01:43
  enjoy Jack experience when he discovers Christmas town.
• 1:01:46
  Perfectly embody the energy of the sun, tarot card.
• 1:01:50
  (laughing)
• 1:01:51
  Upright, which is how we drew it in the app, right?
• 1:01:54
  If you've been sad or troubled lately,
• 1:01:56
  the sun is a sign you're about to feel
• 1:01:58
  a very positive shift in your life.
• 1:02:00
  Use this rejuvenating energy to reconnect
• 1:02:04
  with good friends, enjoy yourself, and enjoy yourself.
• 1:02:08
  It's the little words I always say.
• 1:02:09
  Yeah, yeah.
• 1:02:11
  There's so much enthusiasm in this card.
• 1:02:13
  It signifies a powerful time
• 1:02:15
  for inspired brands storming.
• 1:02:17
  (laughing)
• 1:02:20
  Yeah, I think we could say this
• 1:02:21
  is a little bit about us too.
• 1:02:23
  Okay, well, it's fucking better be.
• 1:02:24
  (laughing)
• 1:02:25
  I know, I've been feeling it.
• 1:02:27
  You've been feeling it.
• 1:02:28
  A lot of people haven't been feeling it.
• 1:02:30
  And I was thinking the other day,
• 1:02:32
  I just want something to reinvigorate,
• 1:02:35
  re-inspire, reignite, something in me.
• 1:02:39
  Yeah, I feel like it's coming.
• 1:02:42
  The card's out, so.
• 1:02:43
  Yeah, let's hope so.
• 1:02:45
  (laughing)
• 1:02:48
  Help us.
• 1:02:49
  I've got hostage eyes,
• 1:02:50
  'cause I feel like a hostage on this plane.
• 1:02:53
  You're gonna make them think I'm holding you hostage.
• 1:02:55
  Not you, I just feel like a hostage on this plane.
• 1:02:57
  'Cause it's clearly not the,
• 1:02:59
  it's not my higher form of existence right now.
• 1:03:02
  Whatever that looks like, let's get to woo-woo.
• 1:03:05
  I feel like everyone gets it.
• 1:03:08
  They're getting what you're throwing down.
• 1:03:09
  I hope so.
• 1:03:11
  Well, we hope that this card applies to all of your lives
• 1:03:16
  as well for the needs.
• 1:03:17
  Yeah, this holiday season, I hope everyone's doing good.
• 1:03:20
  And even though things are shitty, the world is shitty.
• 1:03:24
  Yeah, it's so terrible.
• 1:03:25
  We're always here to entertain you.
• 1:03:27
  Hey.
• 1:03:28
  (laughing)
• 1:03:29
  I mean, we remind you of the bad stuff too,
• 1:03:31
  but we're all so funny, so.
• 1:03:33
  Yeah.
• 1:03:34
  Well, I think I talked enough.
• 1:03:35
  Yeah, yeah.
• 1:03:36
  I hope I didn't scare anyone off with the lampries.
• 1:03:38
  I'm so sorry.
• 1:03:40
  Yeah.
• 1:03:41
  I wanna hear who loves them.
• 1:03:42
  Definitely not me.
• 1:03:44
  Who loves them like me.
• 1:03:46
  I know I can't wait to find another scary animal
• 1:03:48
  to talk about.
• 1:03:49
  I feel like, I don't know, that's like the scariest thing
• 1:03:52
  where anyone can think of.
• 1:03:54
  They're really freaky, but yeah, definitely open
• 1:03:58
  to getting some comments and suggestions
• 1:04:02
  about other freaky animals.
• 1:04:04
  Yeah, ooh yeah.
• 1:04:05
  It is really interesting.
• 1:04:07
  At least I feel like that's not something
• 1:04:10
  that we hear about washing up on the Oregon coast.
• 1:04:14
  So I feel like--
• 1:04:15
  Drawing out of the sky, casually.
• 1:04:17
  I just feel comfortable.
• 1:04:18
  There's a little bit of separation.
• 1:04:20
  I don't need to be involved with that.
• 1:04:22
  I find them very interesting.
• 1:04:24
  I just, I don't wanna--
• 1:04:25
  We don't need to hang out.
• 1:04:26
  Can we go to the zoo?
• 1:04:27
  And you can look at them behind the glass.
• 1:04:30
  Didn't you show me that one picture?
• 1:04:31
  I mean, you saw the picture, but that doesn't do
• 1:04:34
  the in person justice.
• 1:04:37
  Yeah.
• 1:04:38
  You wanna see--
• 1:04:39
  I think it'd be fun.
• 1:04:40
  I've been to the zoo in a long time.
• 1:04:41
  I love the zoo.
• 1:04:42
  I'll totally go whenever, wherever, whenever.
• 1:04:45
  Speaking of Christmas--
• 1:04:47
  Zoolites.
• 1:04:47
  Yes, Chris really wants to go this year.
• 1:04:50
  Should we go to Zoolites?
• 1:04:51
  We should go.
• 1:04:52
  I don't know if you can go into the lampry part, but--
• 1:04:54
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:04:55
  I don't know how any of that works.
• 1:04:57
  We'll ask my mom, because she knows.
• 1:04:59
  She's probably yelling at me right now.
• 1:05:00
  Right now, like, I know.
• 1:05:03
  My mom knows everything about the zoo.
• 1:05:04
  It's part of why I love the zoo.
• 1:05:06
  'Cause my mom--
• 1:05:07
  I love it.
• 1:05:07
  We always go.
• 1:05:08
  Yeah.
• 1:05:09
  Have a creepy ass day.
• 1:05:11
  We'll see you next Tuesday.
• 1:05:12
  See you next Tuesday.
• 1:05:14
  You know, unless--
• 1:05:16
  Probably.
• 1:05:16
  A bunch of vampire fish fall on your head
• 1:05:18
  for absolutely no reason.
• 1:05:20
  And then I'm never leaving my house again,
• 1:05:23
  which I guess we recorded my house.
• 1:05:24
  So I'll see you next Tuesday.
• 1:05:27
  Yeah.
• 1:05:28
  We'll be here.
• 1:05:29
  We'll be here.
• 1:05:30
  [MUSIC PLAYING]
• 1:05:33
  Have a--
• 1:05:35
  Holly
• 1:05:36
  Jolly
• 1:05:37
  Christmas
• 1:05:37
  It’s the best time of the year
• 1:05:38
  [LAUGHTER]
• 1:05:40
  I don't know why that came to mind as I was drinking.
• 1:05:42
  I think because Holly Jolly just makes me
• 1:05:44
  want to drink.
• 1:05:44
  Could you get Holly Jolly when you drink?
• 1:05:46
  Yeah.
• 1:05:47
  You're like, where's my egg?
• 1:05:48
  No.
• 1:05:49
  Yeah, in the trash.
• 1:05:51
  It's in the trash.
• 1:05:52
  Yeah.
• 1:05:54
  I bought it.
• 1:05:54
  And then I remembered, oh, right.
• 1:05:57
  Trash.
• 1:05:58
  Trash.
• 1:05:59
  Trash.
• 1:06:00
  I say this all the time, but who wants
• 1:06:01
  to drink something called nog?
• 1:06:04
  I mean, it kind of tastes like creamy toothpaste.
• 1:06:07
  No.
• 1:06:08
  [LAUGHTER]
• 1:06:09
  Wow.
• 1:06:10
  No.
• 1:06:11
  It's just--
• 1:06:12
  I don't know.
• 1:06:13
  It sounds like something you would like--
• 1:06:16
  Oh.
• 1:06:17
  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:06:18
  It's that post nasal drip.
• 1:06:20
  Yeah. Pnwhauntsandhomicides.com
• 1:06:20
  Yeah.
• 1:06:21
  Nog.
