- 4:53Speaker 1: which is rare. It feels like a lot. I didn't
- 4:56Speaker 1: think about this until like last night. I just like again,

- 5:05Speaker 1: the thirteenth. We have to do something Friday the thirteenth
- 5:08Speaker 1: spooky related. I love that for us. So we're going
- 5:11Speaker 1: to talk about the meaning of Friday. No, I'm just kidding.

- 5:16Speaker 1: you missed the episode, it was not long ago. Just
- 5:21Speaker 1: go back, yeah, just go back today. I thought it
- 5:24Speaker 1: would be fun, though, to talk about superstitions. Caitlin. Yeah,
- 5:30Speaker 1: you better answer this right. Okay, are you superstitious? I'm
- 5:34Speaker 1: a little stitious. Yeah. I wrote that in and I'm
- 5:39Speaker 1: like this, bitch, better fucking answers. Oh, come on, you
- 5:43Speaker 1: know I.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Knew that one. That's from the office. If you guys
- 5:48Speaker 2: said no, you guys, if we are ever recording and
- 5:53Speaker 2: we've had enough wine that I forget that, my comeback
- 5:56Speaker 2: should be I'm a little stitious, Like cut me off.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Yeah, you're you know, we're not friends, any I was
- 6:02Speaker 1: about to get up and walk out, Honestly, if you didn't.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Honestly, I could totally see an ADHD moment where I
- 6:11Speaker 2: just like was not like connecting the brainways.
- 6:15Speaker 1: You didn't see the intense stair.
- 6:18Speaker 2: I saw it, but I could see a moment where
- 6:21Speaker 2: I might just be deeply confused by it.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Why are you asking me? I don't know, I don't
- 6:27Speaker 1: know what is the big deal. But seriously, okay, true
- 6:30Speaker 1: answer though? Are you do you have any superstitions? Are
- 6:33Speaker 1: you superstitious? Super at all? I'm not gonna edit that out.
- 6:38Speaker 1: I wouldn't.
- 6:40Speaker 2: No. Actually, it's funny because I the reason why I
- 6:45Speaker 2: laughed so hard at that scene is that that's exactly
- 6:49Speaker 2: how I would describe myself. Right, I'm a little stitious,
- 6:52Speaker 2: a little Yeah, that's true.
- 6:56Speaker 1: It's it's very relatable because I think so.
- 6:58Speaker 2: I think most people, even if they don't strictly believe,
- 7:05Speaker 2: you know, they logically know.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Probably it's not.
- 7:10Speaker 2: Something I really hardcore. I believe in there are things
- 7:13Speaker 2: that kind of give you pause. Yeah, but get it?
- 7:17Speaker 1: What if pause? No puppy Paul I was. I was like,
- 7:25Speaker 1: isn't there a thing with a paul like a rabbit's
- 7:27Speaker 1: But it's not in my I didn't talk about it
- 7:29Speaker 1: in this but yeah, good luck. Yeah, yeah, I wonder
- 7:32Speaker 1: why it's good luck. I literally know.
- 7:36Speaker 2: No, that's so crazy because i've I mean, I'm sure,
- 7:40Speaker 2: I'm sure I looked that up myself at some point,
- 7:42Speaker 2: but I really have no idea either.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Let's look it up real quick. Because they're associated with fertility,
- 7:49Speaker 1: speed in abundance. Oh interesting, that's what the AI overview says.
- 7:54Speaker 1: It says it could cure gout. Oh why do is
- 7:57Speaker 1: they gout like that? Yeout?
- 8:00Speaker 2: Because you were very incredulous. I feel like I have
- 8:03Speaker 2: relatives that would have liked to have known that.
- 8:06Speaker 1: I don't think that's true. Yeah, I don't think so either.
- 8:09Speaker 1: I don't think a rabbit's boot could kill it gout.
- 8:11Speaker 1: Europeans carried cut paws from hairs, rabbits, and moles to
- 8:15Speaker 1: protect against various ailments, including cramps, rheumatism. Is it like arth? Write? Is? Uh?
- 8:22Speaker 2: There is rheumatoid arthritis.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Yeah, toothaches. Which toothache stood out to me for some reason. Huh.
- 8:31Speaker 2: I'm finding on Reddit and so I you know, grain
- 8:36Speaker 2: of salt, because I have no idea how true this
- 8:39Speaker 2: is or you know, if anybody did their research before
- 8:43Speaker 2: posting this. But it says that the rabbit's foot being
- 8:48Speaker 2: lucky actually comes from who.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Doo oh that, which is interesting.
- 8:54Speaker 2: I have no idea if that's actually actual, but I
- 8:58Speaker 2: could see though, why certain people would steal that from
- 9:03Speaker 2: another religion make it as their own, as often happens. Yeah, yeah,
- 9:09Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like that makes sense here. Let
- 9:12Speaker 2: me I'm curious and make a noise. It's either they
- 9:16Speaker 2: steal it and it's lucky for them, or then it's unlucky.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Or yeah, or now it's bad bad not you not bead?
- 9:26Speaker 2: So what I do AI overview? If she is to
- 9:30Speaker 2: be believed this isn't on the Fly episode you guys, Yeah,
- 9:34Speaker 2: don't worry about it. It seems like that there might
- 9:38Speaker 2: be some basis for that belief that it does. I
- 9:41Speaker 2: don't know if it is predated by any other cultural
- 9:46Speaker 2: or spiritual tradition, but it does appear that that is
- 9:50Speaker 2: a part of the who do tradition, and I don't
- 9:54Speaker 2: know very much about who Doo. To be honest me neither. Yeah,
- 9:58Speaker 2: but now I feel like we're oh my.
- 10:00Speaker 1: God, we should do an episode on that. Okay, this
- 10:04Speaker 1: is spooky ooh in who do?
- 10:07Speaker 2: A lucky rabbit's foot is a powerful amulet used for protection, gambling, luck,
- 10:13Speaker 2: and personal success, originating from African American folk magic. Traditionally,
- 10:21Speaker 2: it must be the left hind foot of a rabbit
- 10:24Speaker 2: captured in a cemetery oh after, often under specific conditions
- 10:31Speaker 2: like a full moon, or by a cross eyed person, by.
- 10:35Speaker 1: A cross eyde person. That is so specific, I wonder what,
- 10:40Speaker 1: like why I'm speaking of like a crossroads where.
- 10:43Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to know the significance and maybe maybe
- 10:47Speaker 2: there is none. Maybe maybe it's something incredibly important. I
- 10:51Speaker 2: don't know enough about the tradition. This is very interesting.
- 10:54Speaker 2: I think we might have to dive deeper in.
- 10:56Speaker 1: This at some point. My best guess is that because
- 10:59Speaker 1: if your cross eyed, maybe you can see into both
- 11:02Speaker 1: worlds because your vision is like crossed, So that makes
- 11:06Speaker 1: like a magic thing. You have to look into it.
- 11:09Speaker 2: For me, that's interesting, Okay, I'm seeing some very interesting
- 11:14Speaker 2: stuff here, and I really do actually kind of want
- 11:17Speaker 2: to look for into this, but again we're looking at
- 11:21Speaker 2: this is the AI overview that you just get back
- 11:25Speaker 2: in your average Google search. But historically, the rabbit's foot
- 11:30Speaker 2: served as a symbolic substitute for a human bone, often
- 11:36Speaker 2: from a criminal or someone who died a bad death,
- 11:41Speaker 2: to harness their restless spirit's power for protection.
- 11:46Speaker 1: Huh, this is really interesting. I'm going to need you.
- 11:50Speaker 1: I don't know why we're putting this on you to do,
- 11:52Speaker 1: but I need you. I'm not either.
- 11:54Speaker 2: You're like, I heard something about criminals, so I feel
- 11:57Speaker 2: like this is your this is true crime related. Yeah,
- 12:00Speaker 2: I guess this is true crime now.
- 12:05Speaker 1: So we're going to talk about some superstitions today, some
- 12:07Speaker 1: that you probably have heard of, and then we're going
- 12:10Speaker 1: to get into some pretty like weird one yeah, that
- 12:14Speaker 1: I've never heard of before. Oh, I like it. So
- 12:17Speaker 1: the first one is black cats. Oh and I love
- 12:21Speaker 1: black cats. Yeah. My first cat, we talked about it today.
- 12:26Speaker 1: He was a black cat. She does not like cats.
- 12:31Speaker 2: She said, there's no cats in this house because my
- 12:34Speaker 2: mom is allergic.
- 12:37Speaker 1: So a lot of people when they hear black cats
- 12:39Speaker 1: they think of bad luck. Yeah, which is unfortunate because
- 12:43Speaker 1: I'm rude. Frankly, Yeah, it is frank, Okay.
- 12:49Speaker 2: Call me frank, because it does kind of freak me
- 12:52Speaker 2: out because whenever I have a black cat like cross
- 12:55Speaker 2: in front of me, it feels very pointed.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Right, you get a bad vibe from it.
- 13:02Speaker 2: I think most of the time, I'm just like bro. Seriously,
- 13:06Speaker 2: there were so many other places, you know, that one
- 13:10Speaker 2: does kind of freak me out because I do feel
- 13:13Speaker 2: like I don't see that many black cats, That is true.
- 13:16Speaker 1: I was trying to think if I've ever had a
- 13:18Speaker 1: black cat in the wild. I'm sure it's happened like
- 13:21Speaker 1: a cross in front of me, but I don't know
- 13:23Speaker 1: that it made an impression on me.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Yeah, it definitely did for me at least one time.
- 13:29Speaker 1: And I'm still here, so you know, did anything bad
- 13:32Speaker 1: happen after?
- 13:33Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it's been years. I don't think so.
- 13:36Speaker 2: I don't think so. Not in particular.
- 13:39Speaker 1: I did live with a black cat though, so he
- 13:41Speaker 1: often crossed my bed.
- 13:42Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like that's totally different when it's
- 13:45Speaker 2: like a black cat that comes out of nowhere. Yeah,
- 13:49Speaker 2: because I don't I don't historically, just like chill with
- 13:53Speaker 2: like a ton of cats.
- 13:54Speaker 1: No, she is a lit Yeah.
- 13:57Speaker 2: Listen, I want to wish I could wish I could
- 14:01Speaker 2: spend some more time with cats.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Let's see. So I think we all know that Egyptians
- 14:06Speaker 1: saw cats as good luck. Yeah. I feel like didn't
- 14:09Speaker 1: they view them as like almost God? Yeah? Like sacred
- 14:13Speaker 1: like God's Yeah. I'm wondering if they had a bias
- 14:16Speaker 1: and specifically black cats, or if they just thought all cats.
- 14:20Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they just thought all cats.
- 14:22Speaker 2: I feel like it was very general. I don't think
- 14:24Speaker 2: they had I mean, I'm no expert. Yeah, but I
- 14:29Speaker 2: don't feel like I ever remember hearing that it was
- 14:32Speaker 2: like specific to a coloring or anything.
- 14:34Speaker 1: Because I'm thinking of I have a cat statue that's
- 14:37Speaker 1: Egyptian and it's black. It's a black statue with like
- 14:40Speaker 1: gold accents on it. So the Dark Ages? Do you
- 14:44Speaker 1: know what the Dark Ages are?
- 14:46Speaker 2: Five hundred to one thousand and eighty.
- 14:48Speaker 1: That's a lot of dark ages. Yeah, only five hundred
- 14:52Speaker 1: years of darkness. Wow. I wonder why they were called
- 14:55Speaker 1: the Dark Ages. Maybe, well, let's not look it up now,
- 14:58Speaker 1: but like that's maybe go back to that at some point.
- 15:02Speaker 1: It actually says, right, Okay, why why were they?
- 15:06Speaker 2: The Dark Ages characterized by a often debated decline in literacy, urbanization,
- 15:14Speaker 2: and central authority. This period saw the rise of feudalism.
- 15:20Speaker 1: So I mean futile.
- 15:22Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's feudile, like feud it's different but but yes,
- 15:32Speaker 2: but it applies the feudal system.
- 15:34Speaker 1: It is futile to resist the dominance.
- 15:38Speaker 2: Of the Catholic Church, okay, and significant cultural shifts. I
- 15:44Speaker 2: feel like I can point to two that resonate for me,
- 15:48Speaker 2: the feudalism and the dominance.
- 15:51Speaker 1: Of the Catholic Church. Okay. Ye, so this says in
- 15:55Speaker 1: the Dark Ages because of Catholicism or Folicism, I mean
- 16:01Speaker 1: fifty to fifty odds there. I feel like, so Pope
- 16:03Speaker 1: Gregory the Ninth declared dark colored cats and incarnation of Satan.
- 16:10Speaker 2: Oh right, because you know which is right, familiars, And
- 16:14Speaker 2: but like, how why would you think that cats are Satan?
- 16:18Speaker 1: That's just crazy. Listen.
- 16:20Speaker 2: I'm not going to tell you how to pope, but
- 16:23Speaker 2: don't tell the pope about a pope. Yeah, I'm just
- 16:25Speaker 2: saying though that, like, if you've read the Bible, which
- 16:29Speaker 2: I very much have, just like the cliff notes basically
- 16:33Speaker 2: but like, shouldn't he be choosing like a serpent?
- 16:36Speaker 1: Isn't that like the whole thing? Right? But still, like
- 16:39Speaker 1: I don't know, don't put don't put your shit on
- 16:42Speaker 1: nature's miracles. Maybe he was allergic to cats and also asshole.
- 16:47Speaker 2: That makes sense, yeah, because like I'm allergic to cats,
- 16:51Speaker 2: but also not an asshole. Mostly, No, just kidding, No,
- 16:57Speaker 2: you really do try, You don't ham like I love cats? Yeah,
- 17:01Speaker 2: I go and I sit and I hang out with cats,
- 17:03Speaker 2: and I'm like, I'm going to be in so much
- 17:06Speaker 2: pain later, but you're so cute.
- 17:08Speaker 1: See that's a true animal lover right there. Honestly, hope
- 17:11Speaker 1: Gregory the Ninth clearly was not.
- 17:14Speaker 2: He is my nemesis now, no, but I really think
- 17:18Speaker 2: it was because of the whole witch thing.
- 17:20Speaker 1: The whole A lot of single women probably had cats,
- 17:24Speaker 1: which they still do.
- 17:25Speaker 2: Okay, leave us alone. I do not have a cat.
- 17:31Speaker 2: Yet you live with the cat. The cat she's not mine.
- 17:35Speaker 2: She's a good girl, she's across, she's cross eyed.
- 17:40Speaker 1: And we have a bunny.
- 17:42Speaker 2: I don't know exactly what that means, but it feels significant.
- 17:47Speaker 1: So if we take our cat and our bunny to
- 17:50Speaker 1: a cemetery, and she kills the bunny. No, no, she
- 17:55Speaker 1: just has to capture it. Oh, capture it, but then
- 17:57Speaker 1: she has to take us left foot, it's right foot,
- 18:00Speaker 1: it's left foot, it's left foot. Left hand. Wait, I
- 18:03Speaker 1: thought left was evil. We'll get into it later. Left
- 18:06Speaker 1: is supposed to be the evil side.
- 18:08Speaker 2: That's yeah, mm hmm, yeah that's I heard that one
- 18:12Speaker 2: time as well.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Also, yeah, you have a thing against left handed people.
- 18:17Speaker 2: Me.
- 18:17Speaker 1: Wait, was that you were Brittany? I think that was Brittany,
- 18:21Speaker 1: but I do ask? I get confused.
- 18:23Speaker 2: Yeah, well, okay, so I was like, I've never said anything.
- 18:28Speaker 1: It was totally Brittany. She's like everyone that's left handed
- 18:32Speaker 1: is evil.
- 18:33Speaker 2: I mean, she might not be wrong. Do you know
- 18:36Speaker 2: who's left handed? A certain ex that emailed me out
- 18:39Speaker 2: of the blue. Do you know who else is left handed?
- 18:42Speaker 2: Or certain ex that likes to like things five weeks ago?
- 18:46Speaker 2: You guys, lefties are they are possibly evil? Get the
- 18:50Speaker 2: fuck out of here, allegedly stop liking our shit. We
- 18:53Speaker 2: don't like you. Get out of here. Welly, unless you're
- 18:55Speaker 2: like one of our listeners who's not an ex. Okay,
- 18:58Speaker 2: I don't know, could be the wine talking. Are you
- 19:01Speaker 2: cut that out or and we'll decide later.
- 19:03Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fun. I think it's hilarious. Yeah, that is
- 19:07Speaker 1: fucking weird though. Okay, creepy people, let's take a survey
- 19:11Speaker 1: if any of you are left handed, let us know
- 19:14Speaker 1: how much of a psychopath you are.
- 19:16Speaker 2: Well, they make up like left handed people make up.
- 19:19Speaker 2: I think roughly fifteen percent.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Of the population. Oh wow, I don't think they can
- 19:24Speaker 1: all be evil, right, No, I think that, but I
- 19:27Speaker 1: would be interested to know. I would say one hundred
- 19:30Speaker 1: percent of assholes are evil. I would say one.
- 19:36Speaker 2: Hundred percent of our good for nothing xes that are
- 19:41Speaker 2: left handed are each just as described.
- 19:45Speaker 1: That's an accurate statement. Yeah, thank you. Okay, I'm all
- 19:48Speaker 1: about responsible reporting. Okay, moving on. You know they burnt
- 19:52Speaker 1: the black cats and bonfires is not fucked up. I
- 19:57Speaker 1: just read that just now. Oh no, oh sweet, do
- 20:01Speaker 1: you need a minute. Oh okay, So they did it
- 20:03Speaker 1: on Holy Days, which is extra fucked up. I don't know.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Shrove trove Tuesday? What's that? Wait? Trove? It's a shrove?
- 20:12Speaker 1: Is it? It's s h r o V? Okay I
- 20:16Speaker 1: just pronounced it as trove. No, no, no, I just wasn't sure.
- 20:19Speaker 1: I heard it right. It's a Shrove Tuesday, the first
- 20:22Speaker 1: Sunday of Lent in Easter, they would have bonfires and
- 20:26Speaker 1: fucking burn black cats because they thought they were Satan.
- 20:29Speaker 2: That's fucked well, that's why, because it's Eastern I know.
- 20:33Speaker 1: Yeah, I honestly, I don't think Jesus would. I don't
- 20:38Speaker 1: think he would approve of burning innocent black cats.
- 20:42Speaker 2: Unless the whole trick was that, like cut up. No,
- 20:46Speaker 2: they get to do a black cat fashion show pagans
- 20:49Speaker 2: for Jesus.
- 20:50Speaker 1: I love that. Yeah, it's my new platform.
- 20:55Speaker 2: I've literally never heard of Shrove Tuesday.
- 20:59Speaker 1: Yes.
- 21:00Speaker 2: And here's what's interesting is I had a coworker that
- 21:03Speaker 2: brought in one of those. It's a king cake and
- 21:07Speaker 2: it's something that they do for Marti Gras.
- 21:08Speaker 1: I had one of those recently. Yeah, I was house
- 21:11Speaker 1: sitting and they went to New Orleans, got a king cake,
- 21:14Speaker 1: brought it back, cut me a slice, and I was like,
- 21:16Speaker 1: I want the Jesus. But I did.
- 21:18Speaker 2: I didn't get the baby Jesus in this golden flea saper.
- 21:21Speaker 2: Is it supposed to be a baby Jesus. I thought
- 21:23Speaker 2: it was just a baby. It's a baby.
- 21:25Speaker 1: Well, I think it's ends on whether or not you're religious.
- 21:29Speaker 1: I think it's supposed to be baby Jesus. I don't know. Okay.
- 21:33Speaker 1: Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day or Marti Gras,
- 21:41Speaker 1: the final day of feasting before the Christian besting season
- 21:45Speaker 1: of Lent. Oly shit, yeah, interesting, Pancake Day. I've never
- 21:51Speaker 1: heard of this. And it's also Marti Gras.
- 21:54Speaker 2: You get your parent cakes out, as they say, oh smash.
- 21:58Speaker 1: I was like, titties and pancakes.
- 22:00Speaker 2: Let's go get your titties and your pancakes out because Lent.
- 22:05Speaker 2: And also it's pancake Day and Marty Grass.
- 22:09Speaker 1: But do not burn the fucking black cats as gross.
- 22:11Speaker 1: No one does that anymore. I hope to fucking that's
- 22:14Speaker 1: the baby Jesus in the cancake.
- 22:17Speaker 2: No, that's not how I'm celebrating, either Pancake Day.
- 22:20Speaker 1: Or Marty Gras. Not cool, Maddi Gras. Oh, okay, here
- 22:25Speaker 1: we go. So because black cats were associated with either
- 22:28Speaker 1: a devil or a demon when they cross your path,
- 22:32Speaker 1: So if they cross the road in front of you,
- 22:34Speaker 1: they're blocking your connection to God, to Jesus, to the
- 22:38Speaker 1: path to heaven. I mean, it makes sense. When you
- 22:44Speaker 1: are crazy, you know. Yeah? Yeah? Okay, So moving along,
- 22:49Speaker 1: not to bring up Taylor Swift again in this podcast,
- 22:52Speaker 1: but the next one is Knocking on Wood. Okay you
- 22:56Speaker 1: know that song? Yeah? No, I mean yeah, it's such
- 23:00Speaker 1: a good song. Everyone go listen to it because it relates. Okay,
- 23:04Speaker 1: this is because Pagans used to believe that spirits were
- 23:08Speaker 1: living in the trees, which I think they do. We've
- 23:11Speaker 1: talked about it before, like we've when did we talk
- 23:15Speaker 1: about this when we went to the uh the cemetery
- 23:18Speaker 1: right loan for or not? We might have brought it
- 23:22Speaker 1: up then, but I'm thinking of the hotel we went
- 23:25Speaker 1: to on the ghost tour, the Benson, Yes, yeah, wasn't it?
- 23:29Speaker 1: Was it the Benson Downtown?
- 23:31Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 23:31Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. So she was telling us about the wood,
- 23:35Speaker 1: how it came from where you came from.
- 23:39Speaker 2: It's literally and it's an extinct species, yes, And they
- 23:44Speaker 2: used to think that there was like you could see
- 23:46Speaker 2: like faces the spirits in the wood.
- 23:48Speaker 1: So that's what this reminds me of. So when you
- 23:50Speaker 1: knock on the wood, you're asking the spirits for protection.
- 23:54Speaker 1: Some people think that the evil spirits live in the wood,
- 23:57Speaker 1: which I don't agree. With and so if you knock
- 23:59Speaker 1: on the wooded scared them away. Yeah, which I don't
- 24:02Speaker 1: think any evil spirits can live in something that comes
- 24:05Speaker 1: from nature. That's just my personal belief.
- 24:07Speaker 2: But yeah, as I recall, it was like a very
- 24:11Speaker 2: old timey, creepy Bavarian forests. So if it was gonna happen,
- 24:16Speaker 2: or it's like the face spirits that live in the wood,
- 24:19Speaker 2: which is complicated because they can be seen as.
- 24:22Speaker 1: Evil, I just they are complicated. I think they're just
- 24:25Speaker 1: you know, like she's a bitch, you know, like she's
- 24:28Speaker 1: just very straightforward. She tells you what she wants and
- 24:31Speaker 1: doesn't want, and that doesn't make you evil or bitch.
- 24:35Speaker 1: It might make you what they call how you say, difficult,
- 24:43Speaker 1: just makes you you you know, And we didn't judge
- 24:45Speaker 1: you for that. Yeah, no, I mean that.
- 24:47Speaker 2: Uh do you remember that same species of wood? It
- 24:52Speaker 2: was literally like on the Titanic. Do you remember she
- 24:55Speaker 2: was telling us that, like there are only so many
- 24:59Speaker 2: histories oracle landmarks that you can visit and see it.
- 25:03Speaker 1: And she's like, and you know, if if you could
- 25:06Speaker 1: visit the Titanic. Oh, I'm pretty sure, I can't remember.
- 25:10Speaker 2: I thought we were just back and listen to that
- 25:12Speaker 2: episode again about the Benson Hotel.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Everyone should I know, I remember you comparing it to
- 25:18Speaker 1: the look of the Titanic, and then the Titanic somehow
- 25:22Speaker 1: came up, so maybe there. Yeah. Interesting, everyone go back
- 25:28Speaker 1: and listen and tell us what was said. Yeah, oh,
- 25:31Speaker 1: it just as Christians. They thought it was about the
- 25:35Speaker 1: power of like the crucifix, oh, being made of wood.
- 25:38Speaker 1: So that's kind of some of the knocking on wood
- 25:41Speaker 1: comes from. But I feel like that's kind of like
- 25:43Speaker 1: they just stole something again from the Pagans and try
- 25:47Speaker 1: to make it their own.
- 25:48Speaker 2: Honestly, it's like, I don't know, it's kind of like
- 25:51Speaker 2: stop trying to make fetch happen.
- 25:53Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I feel like knock on cross like
- 25:56Speaker 1: if you're gonna if you're gonna go that way.
- 25:59Speaker 2: I just feel like, not everything's about you, you know,
- 26:03Speaker 2: like it's giving like only child raised in like a
- 26:08Speaker 2: really wealthy family from the Christians. Yeah, yeah, that has
- 26:11Speaker 2: like no boundaries. Sorry, I mean from that segment just
- 26:15Speaker 2: right there, just that little snippet about knock on wood
- 26:19Speaker 2: being about the I don't know, maybe it's from that.
- 26:22Speaker 1: I was just about to say sorry to any Christians listening.
- 26:25Speaker 1: But honestly, we love you. You believe what you want,
- 26:28Speaker 1: but you did steal. Not you personally, but the people
- 26:32Speaker 1: who made Christianity did still from the Pagans, and that's
- 26:34Speaker 1: just a fact.
- 26:35Speaker 2: I just think we have to get on board with
- 26:37Speaker 2: a few fundamental facts about history. It's stolen land, it's
- 26:43Speaker 2: stolen principles, it's a lot of stolen velor.
- 26:47Speaker 1: My dudes, and I don't mind if we agree to disagree.
- 26:50Speaker 1: I don't hate you.
- 26:51Speaker 2: I mean, we can agree to disagree I'm right, but
- 26:55Speaker 2: I don't hate you.
- 26:56Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah for thinking you're right.
- 26:59Speaker 2: And I don't want you to hate me for knowing that. Okay,
- 27:06Speaker 2: I love you, Love you, no, seriously and all in
- 27:09Speaker 2: all seriousness, love you.
- 27:10Speaker 1: Okay, listen.
- 27:12Speaker 2: I already went to that one church camp and just
- 27:15Speaker 2: to like hedge my bats are you Okay? I did
- 27:19Speaker 2: commit my heart to Jasus.
- 27:21Speaker 1: I did two one time. Okay, you guys. I used
- 27:24Speaker 1: to go to youth group. Yeah, and they were really cool.
- 27:29Speaker 1: They had a fucking band. Okay, there was a fucking band,
- 27:33Speaker 1: and honestly it was really cool because I love music
- 27:36Speaker 1: and I will get moved by live music. Yeah, for sure.
- 27:39Speaker 1: And if there's live music happening and you tell me
- 27:43Speaker 1: Jesus wants me, I'm gonna be.
- 27:44Speaker 2: Like all right, like that dude is like not unattractive.
- 27:48Speaker 2: I feel Jesus Chili's today.
- 27:51Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah.
- 27:53Speaker 2: Honestly, my Christian summer camp just had like really hot
- 27:59Speaker 2: older college age like counselors, highly pro All of the
- 28:05Speaker 2: girls had crushes on these like very very sweet, very pure, okay,
- 28:11Speaker 2: very pure, quite so okay, and they all had cute nicknames.
- 28:15Speaker 1: Okay, Templeton, Oh, Templeton. If you're listening, she is no
- 28:20Speaker 1: longer twelve years old, and she is also off the market. Yeah. Sorry,
- 28:25Speaker 1: she's married, but I'm not yea.
- 28:28Speaker 2: Honestly, if you saw Templeton, you could get it.
- 28:31Speaker 1: Okay. Oh my gosh. Did you know there was a
- 28:33Speaker 1: British children's game called Tiggy Touchwood Tiggy Touchwood and I
- 28:39Speaker 1: don't care. That's not.
- 28:42Speaker 2: I think I did. Actually, I feel like this is
- 28:45Speaker 2: accessing a part of my brain that I'm like, you
- 28:49Speaker 2: don't need this for every day. I feel like it's there.
- 28:53Speaker 1: I don't know if I've heard this before, but it
- 28:54Speaker 1: was basically like tag like tager it. But if you
- 28:59Speaker 1: went in touch like the nearest piece of wood. You're safe. Okay, Yes,
- 29:03Speaker 1: I totally have heard of this, and the British still say,
- 29:06Speaker 1: apparently according to this article, they still say touchwood to
- 29:09Speaker 1: this day. It's kind of like saying knock on wood
- 29:11Speaker 1: for us. Yes, yeah, I did know this.
- 29:15Speaker 2: I did know this, and I did know the Brits
- 29:17Speaker 2: say touch wood.
- 29:20Speaker 1: I can't. That's it, touch wood. End of episode.
- 29:26Speaker 2: Okay, who knew a superstition would be so spicy? I
- 29:31Speaker 2: knew as soon as we talked about wood, we would
- 29:33Speaker 2: just completely go off, go off the ladder. Speaking of ladders,
- 29:40Speaker 2: here's the thing is that I'm I'm much sure married woman.
- 29:47Speaker 1: I looked off to camera that wasn't even there. Yeah, yeah,
- 29:52Speaker 1: it wasn't even the camera that I look at. Who's
- 29:55Speaker 1: a different camera, Like there's a docum jentary, Hutch, I'm
- 29:57Speaker 1: just gonna pick one that was your like you were
- 30:01Speaker 1: breaking the fourth wall. I was, yeah, Wow, there's a
- 30:04Speaker 1: lot of office talk in this episode, and I was
- 30:07Speaker 1: just Jim, Yeah, Halper tang all over this, halperching. So
- 30:16Speaker 1: about them ladders? Yeah, so about ladders. Did you know
- 30:20Speaker 1: it was unlucky to walk underneath one I mean, and
- 30:23Speaker 1: that one I got you. It just makes sense, does it? Why?
- 30:26Speaker 1: Why do you think you know?
- 30:28Speaker 2: If you work in construction, I feel like probably don't
- 30:31Speaker 2: need to go any further. I feel like intuitively we
- 30:34Speaker 2: all understand that you don't want to.
- 30:36Speaker 1: Do that in case you like shoulder bump the ladder
- 30:39Speaker 1: and like knock off someone who's.
- 30:40Speaker 2: Or or someone can fall off the ladder and crash
- 30:44Speaker 2: into you, like so many reasons.
- 30:46Speaker 1: But if you're under the ladder, they can't fall on.
- 30:49Speaker 2: Or what if they fall and then the ladder collapses
- 30:52Speaker 2: and it smashes you.
- 30:53Speaker 1: Oh okay, I could see that. Yeah, like a sardine
- 30:56Speaker 1: and a can. Some of it comes from the Holy Trinity.
- 31:00Speaker 1: Because a triangle, because a ladder leaning up against the
- 31:04Speaker 1: wall makes a triangle, and so if you walk under it,
- 31:07Speaker 1: you're destroying the sanctity.
- 31:09Speaker 2: I was gonna say, sanctity, isn't it.
- 31:12Speaker 1: You're walking right through that sanctity.
- 31:15Speaker 2: I'm just putting all of my appendages through all of
- 31:19Speaker 2: its sanctity.
- 31:20Speaker 1: We're desanctifying this.
- 31:22Speaker 2: Bitch, even if it's not like up against a wall,
- 31:26Speaker 2: like a ladder is always a triangle.
- 31:29Speaker 1: Oh, because it's like it has its own Yeah. I
- 31:31Speaker 1: was just thinking of like propping up the ladder, but yeah, no,
- 31:34Speaker 1: the ladder is a triangle because it has to prop
- 31:36Speaker 1: itself up.
- 31:37Speaker 2: Okay, I was like I had to say it so
- 31:39Speaker 2: that I could make sure I was understanding. You were right.
- 31:41Speaker 1: So ladders also, I guess they either remind people of
- 31:46Speaker 1: gallows or they actually use make sense. In some gallows
- 31:50Speaker 1: they have people think that the underneath of ladders are
- 31:53Speaker 1: haunted because that's where a lot of people were. Yeah,
- 31:57Speaker 1: it makes sense.
- 31:58Speaker 2: We're died where they were when were they were opening
- 32:03Speaker 2: umbrellas indoors? Yeah, I mean that's just inconvenient and seems
- 32:09Speaker 2: like you're like trying to get other people like what.
- 32:13Speaker 1: And or poke out their eye. You're gonna poke your
- 32:15Speaker 1: eye out. That's kind of the end of this. Where
- 32:18Speaker 1: modern day umbrellas kind of they just pop open and
- 32:22Speaker 1: they're all wet, They spray the water reads everywhere. If
- 32:25Speaker 1: you're closed, you can poke an eye out. They're dangerous.
- 32:28Speaker 1: But in ancient Egyptian days, they used umbrellas to protect
- 32:32Speaker 1: themselves from the sun. Yeah it's sps, yes, yeah, and
- 32:36Speaker 1: so if you opened it indoors where there was no sun.
- 32:38Speaker 1: It was an insult to the sun god, which it
- 32:43Speaker 1: doesn't say who the sun god is? Who's the sun god? Like, absolutely,
- 32:47Speaker 1: yeah it is. I was gonna say, I feel like
- 32:49Speaker 1: I know this, but we talked.
- 32:51Speaker 2: I looked it up, like for the episode I did
- 32:54Speaker 2: Egyptian stuff on.
- 32:55Speaker 1: Yes yeah, yeah, yeah, No, the one is yes, yeah, okay.
- 33:00Speaker 1: So it is considered an insult to the sun god
- 33:02Speaker 1: ra if you open it indoors, which I mean, gosh,
- 33:06Speaker 1: why is he watching that closely? Listen?
- 33:09Speaker 2: The ancient gods are like soups sensitive, They're up in
- 33:14Speaker 2: your business to talk about snowflakes.
- 33:18Speaker 1: They're still listening.
- 33:20Speaker 2: They actually did say there was like a small chance
- 33:24Speaker 2: of snow in Portland next week.
- 33:28Speaker 1: Don't open any Actually it was kind of sunny today.
- 33:30Speaker 1: It was in and out like Oregon does. Rainy Sonny,
- 33:34Speaker 1: Rainy Sonny, you know how she do. So what if
- 33:37Speaker 1: you open an umbrella right as the sun goes under
- 33:41Speaker 1: a cloud? Is that insulting? I don't know. Does it
- 33:45Speaker 1: matter if you're Egyptian or not, or if you worship
- 33:48Speaker 1: the Egyptian gods? Are they still going to find it offensive?
- 33:52Speaker 1: These are the hard hitting questions we need answered. I
- 33:55Speaker 1: could ask my cousin, is he the god of Ra,
- 34:00Speaker 1: the god of Raw, the god? Are they the son
- 34:03Speaker 1: god Raw?
- 34:05Speaker 2: No, but they are half Egyptian.
- 34:09Speaker 1: Oh oh that is so cool.
- 34:12Speaker 2: I don't know how familiar she is with uh, ancient
- 34:18Speaker 2: like mythology like the spirit, because your Egyptian doesn't mean
- 34:22Speaker 2: you know about ancient agents. Yeah, yeah you could. But
- 34:27Speaker 2: if I asked her, I would trust that she would
- 34:33Speaker 2: present me sexual information, make a very convincing power point. Yeah.
- 34:39Speaker 2: That's the thing I don't expect necessarily everyone I ask,
- 34:44Speaker 2: just because they are part Egyptian or part Filipino whatever,
- 34:50Speaker 2: to know all of the answers that I do know
- 34:55Speaker 2: that people that I trust based on like these cultural topics,
- 35:00Speaker 2: they would want to present the information like accurately.
- 35:03Speaker 1: Yeah you know, yeah that makes sense. I get that. Yeah,
- 35:05Speaker 1: it's better to ask someone who has a connection to
- 35:08Speaker 1: the culture. Yeah, unless you know for a fact, like
- 35:12Speaker 1: this person's a historian, I studied this culture.
- 35:16Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, if I was going to do my
- 35:17Speaker 2: own independent research and I felt confident about that, that's
- 35:21Speaker 2: one thing.
- 35:22Speaker 1: But I used to Oh my gosh, I used to
- 35:25Speaker 1: be obsessed with Egypt. Then I just wanted to be
- 35:29Speaker 1: Egyptians so badly. Yeah, it really did. I mean I
- 35:33Speaker 1: didn't I wanted to be like ancient Egypt. You know,
- 35:36Speaker 1: I didn't really know what it meant.
- 35:37Speaker 2: You're like, I would like to time travel because I'm
- 35:40Speaker 2: just like a little white girl in history class. Yeah,
- 35:42Speaker 2: and just like, honestly, America is just kind of like whatever.
- 35:47Speaker 1: I just loved all the statues and the simp what
- 35:51Speaker 1: is it, the the symbols they used to write what
- 35:54Speaker 1: were they called hierarchy class, Yes, all of that. I
- 35:57Speaker 1: just loved it. In the cat and cats, always love
- 36:00Speaker 1: cats and mummies. I've always been obsessed with death and
- 36:04Speaker 1: so were they. And you're like, Okay, same girl.
- 36:07Speaker 2: I want someone to build me a pyramid and bury
- 36:09Speaker 2: me underneath it with all my treasures and jewels and gems.
- 36:13Speaker 1: My's pretty relatable. Okay, let's move on to the next one.
- 36:19Speaker 1: A broken mirror. How many years of bad luck do
- 36:22Speaker 1: you get? Break a mirror? Does everybody just know that?
- 36:27Speaker 1: Do you know why? People? How many mirrors have you broken? Caitlyn?
- 36:30Speaker 1: Not that many? How many years of bad luck have
- 36:32Speaker 1: you accrued? Okay? I asked you why you think you
- 36:36Speaker 1: have seven years of bad luck? When you break a mirror.
- 36:39Speaker 1: I have no idea. I'll tell you. The ancient Romans
- 36:45Speaker 1: believed that the mirrors could hold a piece of your soul,
- 36:49Speaker 1: and the soul renews itself every seven years. So if
- 36:54Speaker 1: you break a mirror, it steals a piece of your soul. Oh,
- 36:58Speaker 1: you know, every seven years at renews, so after seven
- 37:01Speaker 1: you're good. But you will have seven years of bad
- 37:03Speaker 1: luck because your soul is taken by the broken mirror.
- 37:05Speaker 2: Okay, cool, that's actually a lot worse than what I thought.
- 37:09Speaker 1: Really, what did you think? I have no idea, but
- 37:11Speaker 1: it just seems so serious. It does seem a lot
- 37:14Speaker 1: more serious than just like, oh, break a mirror, you'll
- 37:17Speaker 1: have bad luck.
- 37:18Speaker 2: But like knowing the reason behind it is like shit
- 37:22Speaker 2: that mirrors take my soul.
- 37:24Speaker 1: It's just so needlessly dark. I know it is, don't
- 37:28Speaker 1: I don't feel like mirrors take your soul. But it
- 37:31Speaker 1: reminds me of two things. Like I think Jewish people
- 37:35Speaker 1: have to cover the mirrors when somebody dies because they're I.
- 37:38Speaker 2: Believe you can get I think that's actually I think
- 37:43Speaker 2: that's common in a lot of cultures. But I believe
- 37:46Speaker 2: when you sit shiva, typically yes, they do cover mirrors.
- 37:51Speaker 1: I don't know a lot. It's just things i've heard,
- 37:53Speaker 1: probably a podcast.
- 37:55Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not familiar with why that is the tradition.
- 38:00Speaker 1: It's because their soul could get trapped in the mirror
- 38:03Speaker 1: or they hear that confuse. That also reminds me of
- 38:07Speaker 1: the show I've been watching. Oh really, School Spirits. Oh right,
- 38:13Speaker 1: there's the thing with mirrors. Yeah, where you can get trapped.
- 38:16Speaker 1: That's interesting.
- 38:17Speaker 2: I think there are certain premises and certain things that
- 38:22Speaker 2: like across cultural boundaries that all types of people might
- 38:28Speaker 2: encounter that we all sort of have this almost innate reaction.
- 38:33Speaker 1: To that, Like across all of.
- 38:36Speaker 2: These different cultural and spiritual and ethnic groups, we kind
- 38:41Speaker 2: of have i don't know, like sort of a similar belief,
- 38:44Speaker 2: even if it's like based on sort of a different
- 38:47Speaker 2: god or based on maybe a different custom where it's like,
- 38:52Speaker 2: I don't know, whenever we talk about things that date
- 38:57Speaker 2: back hundreds and even that of years, and you know,
- 39:01Speaker 2: obviously this case, it just makes me think about that.
- 39:05Speaker 2: It's like, God, it's so sad that if we really
- 39:08Speaker 2: thought about it, we get so caught up on what
- 39:12Speaker 2: is you know, some distinction almost without a difference between
- 39:17Speaker 2: us and whatever we have decided whoever we have decided
- 39:22Speaker 2: to other, and it's like we have we just really
- 39:25Speaker 2: as human beings, in so many cases, we have so
- 39:28Speaker 2: much more in common.
- 39:30Speaker 1: Than we'd like to believe. Nobody knows what a soul
- 39:33Speaker 1: actually is. And that's right, that's common, and it's between
- 39:38Speaker 1: all people amongst all people, not between Yeah.
- 39:41Speaker 2: I you know, either either or I feel like six
- 39:45Speaker 2: one way half a dozen the other English teacher let
- 39:48Speaker 2: us know. Yeah, I just I just think that, like
- 39:51Speaker 2: in so many situations where it's like it we're talking
- 39:56Speaker 2: about a topic that there's sort of a a component
- 40:02Speaker 2: of the unknown, it's almost it's just that it's easier
- 40:06Speaker 2: to bicker amongst ourselves about things that are of so
- 40:10Speaker 2: much less significance than it is to grapple with the
- 40:15Speaker 2: fact that, like we don't understand something that's like bigger
- 40:19Speaker 2: than ourselves.
- 40:20Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes me think of too, they say, like
- 40:24Speaker 1: the eyes or the mirror to the soul. M and
- 40:27Speaker 1: so when like when you're looking in a mirror, you're
- 40:30Speaker 1: looking into your own eyes, and so like maybe that
- 40:34Speaker 1: opens a portal of like the soul into the mirror.
- 40:38Speaker 1: Does that make sense? Yeah?
- 40:40Speaker 2: No, I mean I just I think that there are
- 40:42Speaker 2: just certain things that, like, innately as humans, we feel
- 40:46Speaker 2: like there's a significance there that we maybe don't fully understand.
- 40:51Speaker 2: H And that's I feel like, almost in a way,
- 40:55Speaker 2: sort of a breeding ground for superstition, because we don't
- 40:59Speaker 2: under stand it and we're we're we're grasping, We're constantly
- 41:04Speaker 2: grappling with things that we don't understand, and we want
- 41:07Speaker 2: to find meeting. We want there to be a pattern,
- 41:11Speaker 2: and we want there to be a significance. Yeah, we
- 41:14Speaker 2: want things to make sense. Whether the pattern exists in
- 41:18Speaker 2: reality or just in our heads almost doesn't matter, because
- 41:23Speaker 2: we just we want to make sense of things.
- 41:25Speaker 1: We want to label things, we want to compartmental Loze,
- 41:28Speaker 1: we're literally never going to know. Yeah, while we're on
- 41:31Speaker 1: this on this plane, earthly plane. I mean some people
- 41:34Speaker 1: do claim to know, but yeah, nobody else knows if
- 41:38Speaker 1: they actually know, Like right, man, such a deep topic,
- 41:43Speaker 1: I know, unexpectedly. But oh, the other thing it reminded
- 41:47Speaker 1: me of is like cameras, where they would I don't
- 41:50Speaker 1: know if it was because earlier people like didn't know
- 41:55Speaker 1: what a camera was and it was taking a picture
- 41:58Speaker 1: of them and they were like, yeah, they thought it
- 42:00Speaker 1: like trap their soul into the camera?
- 42:02Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, No, I mean I think that and I
- 42:05Speaker 2: can't say that I can recall a specific indigenous tribe,
- 42:09Speaker 2: but that was a pretty commonly held belief.
- 42:11Speaker 1: I think I see that though. That would be fucking
- 42:14Speaker 1: weird as shit. Yeah, if you're.
- 42:16Speaker 2: Seeing yourself like on on something like how did how
- 42:20Speaker 2: did I get into that thing? You know?
- 42:22Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 42:22Speaker 2: And I don't know if because here's the thing is
- 42:26Speaker 2: dating back to that part of history for the most part.
- 42:29Speaker 2: I mean we're not talking about like polaroids, right, so
- 42:33Speaker 2: like what their understanding of like what a camera did
- 42:38Speaker 2: could be so different.
- 42:40Speaker 1: Like you had to stand there for a really long time,
- 42:42Speaker 1: so like, man, just take a really long time, Yeah,
- 42:44Speaker 1: steal my soul? Right? What if I just run away
- 42:48Speaker 1: at the last second. But I could totally see that,
- 42:51Speaker 1: Like how it's like when you're a kid almost and
- 42:53Speaker 1: you're like, how did these people get into this little
- 42:56Speaker 1: TV box?
- 42:57Speaker 2: Yes, I think there's a lot of things that as
- 43:00Speaker 2: children we maybe have a very literal interpretation of. It's
- 43:05Speaker 2: funny to have had conversations with other adults in my
- 43:09Speaker 2: family and realize they're like, oh my gosh, I feel
- 43:13Speaker 2: really guilty for the fact that I didn't explain that
- 43:17Speaker 2: better to you, because I understand how your brain as
- 43:21Speaker 2: a child, You know, your mind interprets that in such
- 43:24Speaker 2: a different way.
- 43:25Speaker 1: My brain was so weird as a.
- 43:27Speaker 2: Child, Yeah, very deeply weird, and sometimes like literal in
- 43:32Speaker 2: a way that I can't really account for.
- 43:35Speaker 1: Oh this is good though, because the ancient Romans thought
- 43:39Speaker 1: that you could negate the bad luck by bearing the
- 43:43Speaker 1: broken pieces, all of the broken pieces of the mirror
- 43:47Speaker 1: in the moonlight. Oh, burying them. It doesn't say where,
- 43:51Speaker 1: but just bury them in the moonlight. Yeah. Does it
- 43:54Speaker 1: mean the full moonlight or just the moonlight in general,
- 43:58Speaker 1: not a new moon because there's no light coming. Doesn't specify.
- 44:01Speaker 1: So it's good to know that there's like an option
- 44:03Speaker 1: for breaking the bad luck if you happen to accidentally
- 44:06Speaker 1: break a mere.
- 44:07Speaker 2: And I like to think that for things like this,
- 44:11Speaker 2: where it's like there's maybe not clarification on some details,
- 44:16Speaker 2: like what is it have to be a full moon,
- 44:19Speaker 2: like what there.
- 44:20Speaker 1: Might be if I did a deep dive into each
- 44:22Speaker 1: specific thing. But I like to think though, in those instances,
- 44:26Speaker 1: it's more about the fact that you made a good
- 44:28Speaker 1: faith effort, right, if you believe that it will work. Yeah,
- 44:32Speaker 1: just as if you believe that breaking a mirror will
- 44:35Speaker 1: bring you bad luck, it probably will.
- 44:38Speaker 2: All of the decisions that we make as individuals, I
- 44:41Speaker 2: feel like, influence our future behaviors if you think about it,
- 44:45Speaker 2: like quite literally, if you believe this, that will influence
- 44:50Speaker 2: decisions that you make and things that you say and
- 44:53Speaker 2: things that you do. So if you believe that to
- 44:57Speaker 2: be the case, how could it not? How could not
- 45:00Speaker 2: impact you know whether or not you're going to have
- 45:03Speaker 2: seven years of good or bad luck.
- 45:07Speaker 1: And if you think that that's going to be the case,
- 45:10Speaker 1: you could have that same luck either way if you
- 45:13Speaker 1: didn't bring them or But you're going to see all
- 45:15Speaker 1: of the bad, right, and you're going to filter it differently. Yeah, exactly.
- 45:20Speaker 1: Have you heard of sweeping feet? So if you accidentally
- 45:26Speaker 1: sweep somebody's room with the feet, yes, you sweep their
- 45:30Speaker 1: feet with your broom. Yeah, if they're single, they will
- 45:34Speaker 1: remain single forever. I for one am terrified. Right now,
- 45:40Speaker 1: don't come at me with the broom, say from me, also,
- 45:47Speaker 1: come at me with the room. Do I want to
- 45:49Speaker 1: be single forever? Maybe? I don't know I'm having a
- 45:52Speaker 1: great time.
- 45:53Speaker 2: I feel like you just want to have options. I
- 45:56Speaker 2: think that's true, you know, until you really make up
- 45:59Speaker 2: your mind. I feel like keeping your options open is good.
- 46:03Speaker 2: But I think the curse can be broken if you
- 46:07Speaker 2: immediately spit on the broom.
- 46:09Speaker 1: I mean that feels fair. Hoto on that broom. That
- 46:16Speaker 1: was not planned, That was hilarious. Yeah, just spit at
- 46:22Speaker 1: spit on that broom and you'll be fine. Yeah, Okay.
- 46:26Speaker 1: Itchy palms, what do you think that means? Do you
- 46:29Speaker 1: have itchy palms a lot? Not itchy palms specifically itchy bums?
- 46:35Speaker 2: No, no, actually, and I've okay, I'm going to level
- 46:39Speaker 2: with you, and I kind of like part of me
- 46:41Speaker 2: doesn't want to say until I know what this is about.
- 46:44Speaker 1: But I'm just gonna say.
- 46:46Speaker 2: I have had a couple of nights where as soon
- 46:48Speaker 2: as I go to get into bed, the bottom of
- 46:51Speaker 2: my feet is so itchy I want to rip my
- 46:55Speaker 2: whole leg off.
- 46:55Speaker 1: Oh I don't know about itchy feet, okay, but palm specifically,
- 47:00Speaker 1: which I used to get itchy palms because I ate
- 47:04Speaker 1: too much salt. Oh, and so they would swallow up.
- 47:07Speaker 1: And so when I would like work out. My hands
- 47:10Speaker 1: would like saw my palms would be super itchy. Oh
- 47:14Speaker 1: that's interesting. It's very annoying. I have a lot of
- 47:16Speaker 1: like issues, we're very disordered.
- 47:19Speaker 2: Why we're not on camera today, Yeah, because my lips
- 47:22Speaker 2: are having a reaction.
- 47:23Speaker 1: It's fine.
- 47:24Speaker 2: Everything fine not At least it wasn't as bad as
- 47:28Speaker 2: the other day when I looked like a Kardashian. Yeah,
- 47:31Speaker 2: you actually looked like a Kardashian that like, they wouldn't
- 47:35Speaker 2: claim fuck you.
- 47:38Speaker 1: They're like, you got some bad bulltox girls like at
- 47:42Speaker 1: a land.
- 47:42Speaker 2: So I was like, oh, it doesn't look that bad.
- 47:44Speaker 2: But then I thought about it later and I was.
- 47:46Speaker 1: Like, the pictures did not do it just yes.
- 47:49Speaker 2: I was like the pictures, I know, that's like a fraction.
- 47:52Speaker 1: Yeah. So anyway, my lips are allergic to everything and
- 47:58Speaker 1: they swallow up. Yeah, it's fun, but so itchy palms.
- 48:03Speaker 1: It could mean good things and bad things, depending on
- 48:06Speaker 1: which palm itches. Oh yeah, and this comes from the Caribbean.
- 48:11Speaker 1: So the right palm is good. It means there's money
- 48:15Speaker 1: coming to you. The left palm because it's evil, God
- 48:20Speaker 1: damn it. It means that you will owe somebody money.
- 48:25Speaker 1: So I usually have them both itching at the same time,
- 48:27Speaker 1: so I think it cancels itself out.
- 48:30Speaker 2: You're just like, like, do not collect two hundred dollars?
- 48:35Speaker 1: Yes, like someone owes me money. I owe someone money.
- 48:39Speaker 2: It's just equals itself, just sort of a steal me.
- 48:43Speaker 2: But if you have one that itches over the other,
- 48:46Speaker 2: you better watch out. Yeah, itchy knows, shut up, No
- 48:50Speaker 2: one knows, goes. What does that mean? I know what
- 48:53Speaker 2: itchy ears mean.
- 48:55Speaker 1: Wait, I think I'm just realizing that I'm really itchy
- 49:00Speaker 1: itchy all over? Was it? She butt me?
- 49:04Speaker 2: I get really really itchy, especially at night. I want
- 49:07Speaker 2: to know if that means anything. I'm gonna have to
- 49:10Speaker 2: look into it, because now I'm really freaked out.
- 49:12Speaker 1: I think it just means you had a long day,
- 49:14Speaker 1: a long it's like stressful day. Got it back, girl,
- 49:18Speaker 1: do you I remember? I guess I have had itchy
- 49:20Speaker 1: knows like on the inside. I don't know specifically if
- 49:23Speaker 1: it means like outside inside it she knows. So I've
- 49:26Speaker 1: always heard the itchy ears means like someone's talking about you. Yes,
- 49:30Speaker 1: I've heard this. It she knows means that you'll get
- 49:35Speaker 1: a fight, You'll get in a fight. Yes, okay. Well,
- 49:40Speaker 1: so if you have an itchy knows you have to
- 49:44Speaker 1: ask someone to slap you and then you have to
- 49:46Speaker 1: slap them back. So technically it's a fight. Oh, it's
- 49:49Speaker 1: slap fight. That will avoid another fight that you will
- 49:53Speaker 1: have because your nose is itchy.
- 49:55Speaker 2: Okay, I feel like this should just be like part
- 49:58Speaker 2: of our ritual. Maybe that should be part of our
- 50:00Speaker 2: intro flat fight.
- 50:03Speaker 1: I'm yes, I'm not having.
- 50:05Speaker 2: A lot of physical altercations, but maybe that would save
- 50:08Speaker 2: me from just like some verbal jousting.
- 50:11Speaker 1: Maybe. Yeah. Oh so I was gonna say, I feel
- 50:15Speaker 1: like this is very irish and it is.
- 50:19Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I feel like that explains why it would
- 50:22Speaker 2: work for me.
- 50:23Speaker 1: My house is that you sat me. I'll set you back.
- 50:26Speaker 1: This one's fun. Yeah, okay. It never put a bega
- 50:30Speaker 1: upside down on the table. Who do you think this
- 50:33Speaker 1: came from?
- 50:35Speaker 2: I have my suspicions. Oh is that the dick joke
- 50:42Speaker 2: you were making earlier?
- 50:45Speaker 1: I want you to beg it.
- 50:47Speaker 2: Oh boy, So the French think that you should never
- 50:50Speaker 2: put a bega upside down then on the table because
- 50:53Speaker 2: it's bad.
- 50:53Speaker 1: Luck to find upside down. So a beget it has
- 50:58Speaker 1: a flat side because cooked on a thing, So don't
- 51:01Speaker 1: put it like with the round roundies side, just check down,
- 51:06Speaker 1: check it. Okay, cool, cool, cool, I assume hey, listen,
- 51:10Speaker 1: real spicy up here points to brain. That's what my
- 51:13Speaker 1: brain thinks. I guess if you cut it in half?
- 51:16Speaker 2: What? Yeah, I was thinking, like if you cut it
- 51:19Speaker 2: in half verdic hot dog ways, you know, like you
- 51:23Speaker 2: were going to make garlic bread. Oh, like if you
- 51:27Speaker 2: put it buttergar bread is bad luck.
- 51:29Speaker 1: I don't agree with this. I'm out it. No, over,
- 51:34Speaker 1: garlic is good luck.
- 51:36Speaker 2: So it negates the Yeah because vampires.
- 51:39Speaker 1: Yeah, but do I want to attract a vampire?
- 51:43Speaker 2: Because no, they don't like garlic exactly. So would that
- 51:47Speaker 2: be bad luck because I want to attract a vampire?
- 51:50Speaker 1: No, I disagree, okay, Stephanie Meyers. So a begette putting
- 51:58Speaker 1: it upside down on the table bad luck because.
- 52:02Speaker 2: The French, because because the French and frenchness of it all,
- 52:07Speaker 2: that is it.
- 52:08Speaker 1: A baker would leave a bag upside down on a
- 52:12Speaker 1: table for the executioner. I don't know why. Specifically, it
- 52:16Speaker 1: would be upside down for the executioner after he had
- 52:20Speaker 1: executed them. Naturally, he was hungry and he would need
- 52:25Speaker 1: a beget I.
- 52:26Speaker 2: Have a lot of follow up questions I have. I
- 52:30Speaker 2: feel like there's so answer curious crossover with well, like
- 52:34Speaker 2: between our genres on this.
- 52:36Speaker 1: Oh that is true. Yeah, I don't know why it
- 52:39Speaker 1: would be upside down. Maybe because so everybody would know,
- 52:43Speaker 1: like this is for this one's for the executioner, don't
- 52:46Speaker 1: take it.
- 52:47Speaker 2: Maybe I just feel like, doesn't that guy already have
- 52:50Speaker 2: to deal with enough?
- 52:52Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, but he's hungry, So like they were
- 52:55Speaker 1: nice sure to leave him an upside down by get sure.
- 52:59Speaker 2: But here's the bad luck bagette. You've already had a
- 53:02Speaker 2: pretty tough day. I have to imagine.
- 53:04Speaker 1: I don't think it's bad luck for him. Okay, it's
- 53:07Speaker 1: only bad luck for anybody else besides the executioner.
- 53:12Speaker 2: Oh.
- 53:12Speaker 1: Interesting, Oh that's why. That's why, because it's upside down.
- 53:17Speaker 2: Yeah, so they place it upside down because for him, advice,
- 53:20Speaker 2: it's for that person, it's his meal.
- 53:23Speaker 1: That makes sense. We talked it out.
- 53:25Speaker 2: Because the French take food fucking really seriously, as they should.
- 53:30Speaker 1: I have no desire to see the Eiffel Tower or
- 53:33Speaker 1: go to Paris or whatever, the fuck, but I would
- 53:36Speaker 1: love to go to France for a fucking bigotte and coffee. Okay,
- 53:40Speaker 1: this one's from Canada, winn you have to tell us
- 53:44Speaker 1: if this is true. So they think that if your
- 53:47Speaker 1: neighbor brings you food, you would like wash the plate
- 53:52Speaker 1: right and give it back.
- 53:53Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just Midwest ship.
- 53:56Speaker 1: It's bad luck if you do that. Why you have
- 53:58Speaker 1: to give them back the dirty place? Oh No, that's
- 54:01Speaker 1: just a dick move. And I don't know why. It
- 54:05Speaker 1: seems very Uncanadian to me. But also from the other side,
- 54:09Speaker 1: it's like I gave you food, I don't want you
- 54:13Speaker 1: to wash the plate. I want to wash the plate.
- 54:16Speaker 1: So I don't know. I could see it from both sides,
- 54:17Speaker 1: like them fighting over who wants to clean the plate. No,
- 54:21Speaker 1: because they're both so polite.
- 54:23Speaker 2: Nope, as the descendant of depression era Midwesterners, that just
- 54:29Speaker 2: all of my sensibilities are offended.
- 54:32Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely if I take food from someone, I'm washing,
- 54:36Speaker 1: yeah dish, because I'm a cleaner. That's what I do.
- 54:39Speaker 1: Return the dish dirty. Yeah, otherwise it's bad luck.
- 54:43Speaker 2: Oh my god, Like I would just keep the dish
- 54:46Speaker 2: at that point. No, fuck me, uh uh a, never
- 54:50Speaker 2: gonna happen.
- 54:51Speaker 1: You ain't getting that dishback.
- 54:52Speaker 2: No, unless you want to leave like a super Bowl
- 54:57Speaker 2: party or some shit with your dish, and I'm like, listen,
- 55:01Speaker 2: I don't get time to wash that.
- 55:03Speaker 1: You're leaving. The game's nice over. Yeah, yeah, No. This
- 55:08Speaker 1: is specifically like your neighbor brought you food on a plate,
- 55:12Speaker 1: leaves it there before returning it. You don't clean it. Yeah, no,
- 55:17Speaker 1: you just seem I don't know. On the other end
- 55:19Speaker 1: of that, if I was giving you a dish and
- 55:22Speaker 1: you didn't clean it, I would not be offended. I'd
- 55:25Speaker 1: be like, all right, I'll fucking clean it. Like I don't,
- 55:27Speaker 1: I don't care. I can see how some people would.
- 55:30Speaker 1: That just would be so fucking weird. I know you
- 55:33Speaker 1: would never do that.
- 55:34Speaker 2: Have you never interacted Have you never interfaced with another
- 55:39Speaker 2: human that is so fucking weird they made you the meal,
- 55:44Speaker 2: like clean the dish. I feel like that's pretty standard shit.
- 55:48Speaker 2: I'm going to bang my mic stand again, Clint.
- 55:50Speaker 1: Or someone else from Canada. You have to let us know.
- 55:53Speaker 1: I'm calling right after this. Oh okay, yeah, call her,
- 55:56Speaker 1: ask her if this is the real thing. I gotta
- 55:59Speaker 1: ask every Canadian that I've ever met. Yeah, daven Hall,
- 56:03Speaker 1: are they still from Canada?
- 56:05Speaker 2: Can we ask?
- 56:06Speaker 1: They're very much still are they still from Canada? I'm
- 56:10Speaker 1: gonna I'm.
- 56:10Speaker 2: Gonna take Lindsay after this and be like, hey, can
- 56:13Speaker 2: you ask I need you to get in touch with
- 56:16Speaker 2: the red on Wiki guys, and I need you to
- 56:18Speaker 2: ask Josh.
- 56:20Speaker 1: Like, I'm very interested in this because it's not something
- 56:25Speaker 1: I would expect from Canada. No, because they're so polite,
- 56:30Speaker 1: and it just seems so rude.
- 56:34Speaker 2: And I want to know why because there's no explanation. Yeah,
- 56:36Speaker 2: there's no explanation.
- 56:38Speaker 1: I don't like it, to be honest. Okay, this one's fun,
- 56:43Speaker 1: all right. This was mostly back in like the days
- 56:48Speaker 1: when beds were made of straw. Oh, but like, don't
- 56:51Speaker 1: leave an indentation in your bed otherwise the devil will
- 56:57Speaker 1: slide right into those games, those inddations in your bed.
- 57:03Speaker 2: Wow, but it feels like a lot.
- 57:07Speaker 1: I don't know what to say about this.
- 57:11Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, yikes, I don't know if it was
- 57:15Speaker 2: just a thing to like get you to make your bed.
- 57:17Speaker 1: Oh my god, can you even imagine like having to
- 57:19Speaker 1: poof your bed back up? Because it wasn't just a
- 57:22Speaker 1: memory phone Yeah, it was made of straw and you
- 57:25Speaker 1: have to like poof it back into its form. Maybe
- 57:29Speaker 1: it was just a thing to like get people to
- 57:31Speaker 1: make their beds, I guess, but like that's a very
- 57:35Speaker 1: severe consequence.
- 57:37Speaker 2: The devil will come and lay in your bed, lay
- 57:41Speaker 2: in Wait.
- 57:42Speaker 1: You know what that is.
- 57:44Speaker 2: It's just like I think it's about women again. Well,
- 57:49Speaker 2: I think by and large they make beds. No, I
- 57:52Speaker 2: mean it's against women primarily in more than one sense.
- 57:57Speaker 1: I think.
- 57:58Speaker 2: I think this is yield slutschaining. Oh, when you're getting
- 58:05Speaker 2: the pile driver, you know, right in that good good.
- 58:11Speaker 1: Moving along. Never leave a hat on the bed. This
- 58:16Speaker 1: comes from Catholics.
- 58:19Speaker 2: Where the priest would read the right, the last rights
- 58:24Speaker 2: for the person who's dying, and they would put their
- 58:26Speaker 2: hat because they don't want to wear their hat because
- 58:28Speaker 2: that's disrespectful, so they would lay it on the bed
- 58:30Speaker 2: and read the last rights.
- 58:32Speaker 1: Okay, so that's like deadness. You know what.
- 58:35Speaker 2: You said, a hat And I was like cowboy, And
- 58:38Speaker 2: then I was like, whose bed have your boots been under?
- 58:42Speaker 1: That's funny. This one applies to Shania Twain. Always sleep
- 58:50Speaker 1: with an axe under your bed. That is the right
- 58:53Speaker 1: answer for cheating husbands. Also for protection against I guess wild.
- 59:01Speaker 2: Other intruders in your bedroom as a woman. I think
- 59:05Speaker 2: we can imagine.
- 59:07Speaker 1: Yeah, it's also They also used to say it would
- 59:09Speaker 1: cut through a fever.
- 59:11Speaker 2: Oh my little limp wrisk. Yeah that was a very
- 59:18Speaker 2: limp wrist. I was like that, ain't cutting through a
- 59:21Speaker 2: slice of baloney.
- 59:22Speaker 1: I am going ax throwing next weekend, and uh, I'm
- 59:26Speaker 1: very bad at it. Oh we're going to show off
- 59:30Speaker 1: this limp rist ax throwing business. You're bad at it.
- 59:34Speaker 1: I hadn't done it that many times. I've done it once, terrible.
- 59:37Speaker 1: I don't think I stuck it at all. We'll see
- 59:40Speaker 1: how this goes. Maybe I'll take a video. Maybe you
- 59:42Speaker 1: guys will get to see. We don't know. Interesting.
- 59:45Speaker 2: Yeah, now I've done it once and uh it's kind
- 59:49Speaker 2: of fifty to fifty odds where like whatever is Skinndy
- 59:53Speaker 2: Navian in my roots, I throw it. I throw it
- 59:58Speaker 2: clean and true, or I threw it like a drunk irishman.
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: There is no in between. This one's funny. In Turkey,
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: they believe you should never to gum after dark. Do
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: you know why?
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: I guess I don't. I have a cousin who lives
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: in Turkey, and I have no idea why we have.
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: To ask them if this is true. Yeah, it says
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: because they believe it will turn into human flesh. Well, yes,
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: it's giving back back wall anoxyway.
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: It's giving unnecessarily dark like why why I don't know.
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: We need to ask your cousin in Turkey.
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: Okay, I mean she's I think she's back stateside, but
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: like I'm happy to.
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: Ask, you need to ask. Also, can we give Chassie
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: points for saying black bark wall an oxiway just out
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: of her memory? Thank you said that? Okay? The next
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: one is a right that was published in the Berwickshire
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: News in General Advertiser on November sixteenth, nineteen fifty four.
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: Oh boy, this is the superstition. But it's a poem
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: about it. Okay, cut your nails on Monday, cut them
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: for news. Cut them on Tuesday, a pair of news shoes,
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: Oh bit on a Tuesday. Cut them on Wednesday, cut
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: them for health. Cut them on Thursday, cut them for
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: well E. Cut them on Friday, cut them for WHOA.
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: Cut them on Saturday, a journey you'll go. Cut them
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: on Sunday, you'll cut them for evil. Oh, for the
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: next week, you'll be ruled by the devil. So you
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: should never cut your nails on Sunday or you'll be
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: evil for a whole week.
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: I have some bad news about mine.
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: When did you cut them last?
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: I feel like I frequently cut them on a Sunday.
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: I feel like Sunday is self careday.
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: You know what's interesting, Thursday seems to be a day
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: that everybody agrees is like just good, just good. It
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: might have to do with like the planets that rule
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: that day. I'm not one hundred percent star.
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: You know what what. I guess you got married on
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: a Thursday. You did this bit? Oh that's right, because
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: I'm just gonna yeah. Didn't it say something about wolf?
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: Yeah? Is it Wednesday or is it Thursday? Thursday? Did
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: you cut your nails on your wedding day? No, you didn't.
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: I would love a pair of new shoes, so I
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: might go for the two day Tuesday. You know, Honestly,
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: my self care days are all over the fucking place,
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: so it might be frequently Monday that I cut my fingernails.
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: Honestly, you just you gotta do shit when you have
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: the time, right.
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: Yeah. I thought it was interesting though.
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: And I I just think it's really interesting because I
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: did a lot of research into like what are the
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: traditions around days of the week, And obviously when I
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: was getting married, I was looking at.
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: Like what is sort of the lore.
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: Around days of the week, and like what it means
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: if you get married.
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: On this day? What's Thursday?
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: I mean, Thursday is largely I think, and you know,
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: every culture is a little bit different. But I was like, okay,
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: Thursdays are by and large it seems like relatively we
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: agree that's gratuitous, just weird because definitely not a Friday, yeah, or.
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: The weekend interesting. Yeah, Friday says for whoa.
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: Yeah, getting married on like a weekday actually used to
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: be a very very common thing.
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: Can you guess how day I'd get married?
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: On?
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: Wednesday day? Because you humph? I don't think I needed
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: to say that, but I did. Yeah.
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: So one more are you ready for it?
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: The theater kiad of me just couldn't couldn't leave this
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: one out. Well, no saying Macbeth in a theater. It's cursed,
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: it's curs it will curse your show.
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: Okay, And I fully thought it was going to be
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: like a break a leg thing.
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: Yeah, that does make good luck. Yeah, I feel like
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: we all know that, which is like I don't know why,
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: it's like opposite day JK. I didn't look into why
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: that is, but I do know that's a thing. Yeah,
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: this one is called the Scottish Curse. Yes, and so
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: apparently this play was particularly accident prom huh. So you
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: should refer to it if you're in a theater as
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: the Scottish play or the Bard's play, and if you
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: accidentally say it, you have to do a cleansing ritual
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: before being.
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: Allowed back into the theater. Which I did not know
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: that part of it.
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: I just know you. I just knew you weren't supposed
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: to say it. I have heard that before. How do
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: they cleanse that? I wonder no idea. How did the
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: theater kids get cleansed?
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: I mean, there could be a lot of things I
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: can think of, but I will say here, you know,
- 1:05:35Speaker 3: oh boy, these we weren't band kids, are right?
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: I'm just gonna put crickets. Can we get a hand
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: check on the band bus them?
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: Be freaky love you guys like free Love. We're going
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: to do a quick oracle reading from a fresh deck
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: that we've never opened.
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: Did you get this for me? I think so?
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: Okay, we just haven't opened it yet. I haven't been
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: here in a minute, y'all.
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: Okay, fresh deck, freshack. Speaking of band kids.
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: Hey, listen, drama kids are just want to be band kids.
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: They are superstitions. Charlotte, send your energy. I think it's
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: this guy.
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: Do you agree. I'm gonna go with your gut on this? Okay, trunk?
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: What's a tree not gone? With stability, loyalty, reliability? Also owls.
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: I didn't put it in my okay, so the imagery
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: on this is a tree with mushrooms and leaves and
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: an owl in a little tidy hole. Oh.
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: Owls were part of the There were so many superstitions,
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: like an animal, but the if you hear an owl
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: at night.
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: Which was like everyone hears an owl at night, but.
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: Like no, I actually feel like no one hears really
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: owl at night, but I've been hearing one recently.
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: Please tell me more. It's not good. It's a bad omen.
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: That's cool. Yeah, I mean someone's gonna die, but that's fine.
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: That's why I don't leave her out there on her
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: grass patch.
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: By herself. My gosh, because an owl will get her.
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: She's so small, you rodent sized.
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: Until they hit seven pounds or better. They can fall
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: prey to hawks and stuff too, So what's the hawks
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: and stuff?
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: Also?
- 1:07:35Speaker 2: I never sent it to you in tailan, but I've
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: been seeing the same group of three coyotes.
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: Ooh, that's right here, scary and cool at the same time.
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: Card meaning stability, loyalty, reliability. I think I read that already,
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: like a spine. The stock or trunk is the central
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: column of a plant which everything branches. It is both
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: the support and connector unifying the extremities of crown and roots.
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: The newer, softer wood just beneath the protective bark of
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: the trunk conveys moisture from the ground upward and moves
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: energy created in the leaves downward. The core is what
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: gives the tree its strength. Like a tree, your core
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: has been formed of past experiences, and you've grown a
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: list of your core beliefs. Who you are and what
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: you hold dear and what you never compromise on That
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: totally reminds me of like your superstitions. This is who
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: you truly are. The trunk card reminds you to stay
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: true to those beliefs to provide a safe, stable place
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: for new experiences to develop. Reflection, What have some formative
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: experiences in your life been and how have they shaped
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: who you are today? That kind of reminds me of
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: like my question of is there any superstitions do you
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: believe in? Yeah, that's kind of interesting.
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: That it was like all about beliefs and literally like
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: knock on wood, we got a trunk.
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: I know, that's so funny.
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: I love that we did a Friday the thirteenth episode.
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: Another one, another one. I copycatted you DJ call it
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: so but fact. My mom is su fastitious about the
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: number thirteen. Oh okay.
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: You know when you go to like a it's more
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: in like fast food places, they hand you like the
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: little number and take it to your table. They tried
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: to handle at thirteen and she was like, oh no,
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: thank you, fuck.
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: No, give me a new number. Yeah. I noticed recently
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: when I was watching Heated Rivalry that they were going
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: up in an elevator in a hotel room and they
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: I was like, did they good number thirteen? Oh yeah
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: they did. There was no floor thirteen. Them do a
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: lot of them do I just thought it was cool
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: that they in a modern TV show they showed that.
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: I just like it modern ish. It's set not necessarily
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: in current day, I.
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: Mean, not like twenty twenty six, but like yeah.
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean obviously the TV show like as of filming,
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: it's modern, it's like current time.
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: And I don't know if that like tiny details. Some
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: shows like patch at a tiny detail, but I don't
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: know if like if the hotel had a floor thirteen,
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: would they not show it in the you know what
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: I mean? Or if they're just filming the hotel as is.
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: I'm sure, I mean, I'm sure they're filming as is.
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: I thought it was cool because some hotels do. And
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: I really like to take a picture of like floor
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: thirteen in a hotel.
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think I have been twenty the show
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: of floor thirteen.
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I have a least one photo of
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: a floor thirteen in a hotel. I like it, same
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: with like what is it room? I think we took
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: a picture in front of room six sixty six when
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: we were staying somewhere. I'm pretty sure sounds like us,
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: but I can't remember.
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: No, we didn't have a there was not thirteen floors,
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: But I don't know if there was a room thirteen
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: in a hotel that I worked at, I don't think
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: there was.
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: Went from twelve to fourteen.
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: I feel like I'd be less stitious about a room
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: thirteen than an entire floor. Honestly, no matter what you
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: name it floor, if you skip thirteen, floor fourteen is
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: still floor thirteen technically, so you're not getting away from it.
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: Why don't you just make your building twelve floors? Yeah,
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: I mean there's always that. I was trying to think
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: of any superstitious I have, like on a I do.
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: I mean, I rub the bat in my car for
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: good luck every single day, at least multiple times. So
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: I'm driving every time I think about it, and I
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: reach up and he's hanging from my mirror and I just,
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: you know, rub his little head.
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: Well, you know mine in the car. Remember I've got
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: the danglar off my rear view mirror.
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: You've got a danglar too, you rub it sometimes?
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: Or is it just there so it kind of looks
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: like a locket, but it's like in the shape of
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: an angel. Oh, yeah, which I have mixed givings about.
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: But my Mom's always called it my parking angel.
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: Oh is it uh like traditional angel like with eyeballs
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: all over it or is it.
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: Like nos, Yeah, it's like the angel little favor like No,
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: I mean it's like the kind that people actually want
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: to look at.
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: It's not a scary eyeball beast. Yeah.
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: No, it's it's like like the touch by an angel
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: version of an angel, for sure.
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: Yeah. I think something having something in your car just
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: I don't know, for me, Like people are insane on
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: the road and I just like need something to make
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: me feel better in the car because I just have
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: a lot of anxiety about driving. Yeah, so I feel
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: like that's just a good thing to have in your car,
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: just something little that you could just be like, oh
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: that keeps me safe or helps me fine.
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: Yeah, parking. Parking is fucking stressful, dude, it really is.
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: I hate going somewhere and not knowing what the parking situation.
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: Have you ever pulled up to a spot that you
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: thought I could do that. I could parallel that bitch,
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: but you know what, there's too many people watching and
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: you go around the block.
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: M M. Yeah. I did that once, and I did it.
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: I was like, I can do this and it was
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: on my left side. Oh boy. And then I assume
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: was a houseless person watched me the entire time and
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed.
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: So I'm given to understanding because I couldn't do it.
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: It took you a while, and he laughed so much
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: that I just gave up and I.
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: Drove away and I found it in a bar.
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: Oh no, I even I'm pretty sure. I rolled my
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: window down and said, hey, can you help me? And
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: he didn't. He was like, no, I would take her
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: out right now. This is too hilarious.
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: I will hip you. I just wanted some help and
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: to not be laughed at. And no, which I don't
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: blame him. It's pretty funny, dude. Parallel parking on the
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: left side is not right. It's just not right. It's
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: not right. It's Portland. It's not right, not right.
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: I agree. Well, have a crazy yes, Friday the thirteen.
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: We'll see you next Thursday. Or wait what we do Thursday, Friday, Thursday, Thursday, Friday, Tuesday.
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: We don't know what day it is. It's like a
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: whole thing, you know, Wednesday, Humpday, Thursday. Everyone.
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: This is a good reminder when our episodes come out
