From the Dungeons of Morningstar, I'm Clint.
And I'm Stretch. This is Prevailing Strange.
Welcome back. I'm sorry. This instalment of Prevailing
Strange is what we like to call Rant and Sundry,
where we round out the week by going over some
of the subjects that we've previously touched
on this week or follow the tangents wherever
they take us. I like tangents. You got any jokes?
Oh, dude, I do. Are you ready? I'm ready. Okay,
I'm just going to finger blast. I'm just going
to blast these all out. Can a kangaroo jump higher
than a house? I don't know. Of course, again,
houses can't jump. Logan tell you that one? No.
What do you call a monkey in a minefield? A baboom.
I remember a few weeks ago, you were fucking
getting up me about how fucking PG my jokes were.
It's a baboom, you silly sausage. What's green,
has six legs, and will kill you if it fell out
of a tree? What's green, has six legs, and will
kill you if it fell out of a tree? Pool table.
They're brown, you sausage. The table's green,
bro. They've got green hair. I like that. Taking
a snail out of its shell won't make it any faster.
On the contrary, it makes it a little sluggish.
Oh, dude. It was pointed out to me today by Ali
Zimmerman, of all people. Mind you. Oh, I'm not
going to say that because that's just inappropriate
for such a good family -friendly podcast. But
she's made me quite aware that every time I laugh,
I dip off to the right -hand side of the screen.
Oh, yeah. Half the time I follow you. I know,
you piece of shit. You need to cut that out.
I go that way to get away from you because my
face is horrendous. Well, I can only go so far
because you hit the edge of the frame. I know.
That's what I want. You have to start getting
a fan and go. What's located at the bottom but
has the bottom at the top? What's located at
the bottom but has a bottom at the top? I don't
know. The legs. It's located at the bottom but
at the bottom. It has a bottom at the top? See,
fucked you then. I went to the left. I'll follow
it. You son of a bitch. One more. One more. No
more. Okay. You know what causes dry skin? Semen.
Towel. That's shit, but he laughs. Oh, I love
it, dude. The shit jokes are the best ones. Oh,
I love a shit joke. Oh, that's why I love half
my friends. Oh, God. That was good. I'll try.
So kick off Rant and Sundry. Let's go. What are
you going to rant about? Well, you asked a question
before about the room that we stayed in. I did.
The Stanley, yeah. So Wednesday we were talking
about the movie 1408. Yep. Stephen King. I'm
almost 100 % sure it was a Stephen King fucking
written book. Yeah, we didn't get to stay in
the big bad room at the Stanley. So it was on
the top level and I'm pretty sure, did you ever
watch that? It was based on a Stephen King's
1999 short story. There we go. Did you ever watch,
there was a show on Discovery called Ghost Hunters?
Yeah. It's a great show. Yeah. So they stayed
in the pretty sure it was the room we stayed
in. The bald -headed fella, Jason. Right. They
stayed at the Stanley Hotel and shit was going
on. He said it sounded like there was a party
in his closet. Just fucking heaps of shit going
on there. Okay. Anyway, so I'm pretty sure that
was the room we stayed in. So when we got there.
You said to describe the feeling of the room.
Yes, sir. Please describe the feeling. Stanley
is fucking one of the highest elevated fucking
hotels in the world, in America. Right. So I
didn't realize until we got up there how much
being at that altitude can take it out of you.
Carrying the bags up to the room was - That's
sad. I was nearly fucked just carrying the fucking
bags up to the room. It was pretty fucking thin.
It is that thin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But man, the
views up there are sensational. Now, so that's
not where they filmed The Shining, correct? No,
they filmed The Shining at another location further
west. I forget the name of the joint. It's a
ski lodge. Was that the same ski lodge that they
filmed Hot Tub Time Machine in? I don't know.
Have you ever stayed at the hotel at Penrith,
the one on the cliff? Hydroelectric, it's called.
No. I think it's called the Hydroelectric. So
we got. To the Stanley, it was the off season.
It's during the summer. No snow or anything like
that. Yep. Yeah, air's thinner. It's fucking
weird to begin with when you get up there. The
rooms, it's fucking very old school in there.
There are no TVs in the rooms or anything like
that. Yeah, right. That's the Hydro Majestic
in Blue Mountains. I've driven past it. I haven't
stayed there. Bro, that scares the fuck out of
me. Yeah, this place is beautiful. Big old ballroom
and like the - Yeah, right. The big double staircase
flowing up with all these - This is the Stanley.
The Stanley, yeah. Yeah, really fucking schmick
joint. Anyway, so we get to there and it's the
middle of summer, but you're up really high.
It's not super hot, but it's warm. No air conditioning
in the joint. It's fucking old school. Yeah,
right. So, yeah, like the air's thin, middle
of summer, Still up pretty high. We checked in,
went and checked out the ski lift, got up a little
bit higher, checked out the views. Fucking beautiful
place. So there was still snow up there or no?
Snow -capped mountains. Nice. But not where we
kind of went. Right. Then we come back, had a
fucking schmick dinner in this fucking cool bar
kind of restaurant area. Red velour walls and
drapes. Classic 70s, 80s sort of shit. Yeah,
and all these old pictures and really kind of.
And it was just you and Steffi that went, eh?
Yeah, it was for our anniversary. Honeymoon.
Honeymoon, yeah. Real nice dinner and we went
up to bed and we'd been travelling fucking, yeah,
none of that. Pussy. It's your honeymoon, Jeremy.
I know. There was plenty of that, but not there,
not that time, because we did lots of fucking
travelling. Yeah. Big days. You were over there
for a month, right? Six weeks. Six weeks. Yeah.
A lot of driving, a lot of driving. What a great
holiday. Yeah. 16 ,000 kilometres, 10 ,000 miles
that we did in 40 days. Same car or you chose
different cars? Same car, the entire way across.
What was it? Was it Corolla the second time?
A Corolla? Yeah. What the fuck is wrong with
you? You're in America. We went for fuel efficient,
dude. Went for fuel efficient. So the idea was
we were there for that long and we were trying
to, you know, be conscious of the coins. So we
would stay in, like, big flash places in the
cities. This cunt. Man, we stayed in some fucking
dives in these fucking backwaters. Yeah, right.
It was fucking cool. some fucking horrible hygiene
in some of those places. But anyway, obviously
the Stanley was one of the big ones. Did you
just stay in these dives for the experience or
did you just stay there because it was just on
the way? It was on the way. Right. It was cheap.
So did you pre -book these or they were just
on the side of the road and you pulled in and
go, oh, I want a room? No, no, we pre -booked
them. Right, okay. So we planned out the route
that we were going to go. I thought Steph would
have done that, yep. Well, mind you, we got married.
Two days later, we planned it. Three days later,
we were on a plane. Holy shit. Yeah. We'd already
done the States once and did a very similar kind
of thing. So we just hit it out of the park,
just fucking punched it out. Did you just both
have a handful of things that you definitely
wanted to see and that's what you mapped the
whole trip around? So the first time we went,
we went fucking east coast to west coast and
we went along the bottom. Right, okay. So we
saw a lot of things, learnt from that trip what
we'd do on the second time. And you were white
so you could do the bottom. Pretty much. So we
were like, okay, we're going to go into Chicago,
which is basically just over halfway. Shy rock
for all our American viewers. Never had a problem
there. Really? It was a fantastic town. Holy
shit. One of the best places I've been for food
in the world. Yeah. The food there in Chicago
is sensational. Anyway. Flew into Chicago. Longest
flight in the world from fucking Sydney to Texas,
then to Chicago. Longest in the world. It's like
15 hours. It's fucked. They lost our baggage.
We ended up getting it the next day. And then
drove across. So we'd kind of gone, okay, we're
going from this airport to this airport. What
can we do in that kind of area that we haven't
checked out? A few things that we had off the
top of our head. The rest of it was like, okay,
what's on along this route? So that's how we
planned it. The first time we didn't change the
plans, the second one we went, we got to a certain
point and we somehow, because we planned it like
two days earlier or whatever before we left,
there was a leg of the trip that was going to
take fucking something like 14 hours to drive.
Right. And the next day was less and the next
day was less. But we were like, oh, fuck, we're
going to have to reorganize this. So we canceled
one. I think we just cancelled whatever didn't
have a cancellation fee and then we just kind
of broke it up over three days and found a place
to stay at. That 14 -hour trip. Which was pretty
cool because that was Montana and we ended up
staying in a fucking treehouse tent. Oh, nice.
It was fucking sick, man. It had all the amenities,
no TV or anything like that, but it had a record
player and it was just a fucking sick treehouse.
Would you do it again? Fucking 100%. Really?
Yeah. You liked America that much? Oh, yeah.
It was so cool. You didn't get shot at once?
The first time we were over there, we were in
Louisiana and we heard shots and everybody around
us hit the deck and had that reaction. The two
Aussies were like, is the car backfiring? And,
yeah, it was like just that kind of mentality.
Yeah, right. And I remember when we got the car
on the second trip in Chicago. I went in and
I'm like, oh, yeah, we're getting a car. Oh,
you're not returning it here? Oh, no, we're driving
it to San Francisco. That's where we're living
from. Oh, wow, you're going all that way. Yeah,
I've never been outside the state. And you got
that everywhere you went. Yeah, right. People
work in three jobs and they don't ever travel
and it's very different over there. Anyway, back
to the Stanley. Got in this room. We were tired.
We're like, all right, we're going to bed down
for the night. It's warm. Yeah, you did. Windows
open because there's no air conditioning, old
school style joint. There's a big radiator for
the cold periods. But during the summers, you
just open the windows. And it was just nice laying
there, cool breeze, listening to the stuff going
on outside and whatnot. Anyway, we went to sleep.
And we were on the top floor. Could hear footsteps
and, man, they sounded like they were on a floor
above us. Could have been in the hallway. Could
have just been a fucking weird kind of weird
whatever. Through the night, I did not sleep
because it was just something off, whether I
was excited or whatever. I don't want to put
it down to anything because, like I said, I'm
a curious skeptic. So I just didn't sleep that
night. Well, I slept in fits and starts. It did
sound like there was something going on in the
room next to us. Don't know if there's anyone
there. It just happened to be the closet behind
us. Bit of movement. I don't know. But, yeah,
besides that, kind of had a night fine. Slept.
Cool place. Went and did the ghost tour the next
day. Oh, so they actually have a ghost tour at
the Stanley. Yeah, so they take you through like
the catacombs underneath and they tell stories
and shit like that. Dude, that'd be sick. Yeah,
it's pretty cool. If you ever check out Ghost
Hunters do the Stanley Hotel and they do that
tour or they go where that tour goes and there's
a part where it's like a, I don't know, like
a mind section into the fucking face and that.
Because like you said, it's building a limestone
cliff, didn't you? Yeah. And like when these
guys are down there, they're by themselves and
on the video they hear voices, whether you fucking
believe that or not. Believe it or not. Some
weird shit. And there's like a big, like a tunnel
that goes in partway into the rock face and they're
like, oh, you know, people hear or see things
in there and nobody on the tour was really interested
in looking in there. I fucking crawled down in
there and had a look. Yeah, all right. Nothing
happened anyway. So when we checked out, they're
like, oh, here's the brochure for your room that
you stayed in. Steph's got it. And it pretty
much lists all the things that people have experienced
there. So it was a hot night, warm night. It
wasn't fucking hot, but it was warm. I slept
on top of the bed. Yep. So Steph had a rough
night. She said she just slept. Now is Steph
here? Would you say she's a sceptic or she's
a believer or you think she's just a fuck it,
don't be stupid? She would rather it not be something.
Right, yep. But we've had some shit happen where
it's like it's fucking weird, don't know what
it was, we're not going to put a tag on it. Yeah.
Anyway, she said, oh, you kept pulling the sheets
off me last night. I'm like, I was on top of
the sheets, I don't know what you're talking
about. Anyway, sure enough, top of the list,
there it is. sheets being pulled off the bed
is the main thing that happens in that room.
I didn't experience it because I was on top of
the sheets but Steph did and she's like, yeah,
fuck this. Let's get out of here. See, I've got
some stories that I've been told by my Uncle
Neil and my cousins Josh and Jake. We've spoken
about them a bit on the podcast. Josh was the
3D creator on a movie with the Racket Boys that
just came out. other cousin Jakey's just doing
his second MMA fight this month, I think. And
they used to live just out here at Bellburn in
an old miner's cottage. And they've had some
shit done, dude. I'd have to – the last time
I spoke to him was a couple of years ago about
it. And my Uncle Neil told me some stories and
I'm like, holy shit. And now when Uncle Neil
says shit, I believe everything he says. He –
He has never lied to me ever, save Uncle Neil
says something. I know it's true. I know it happened.
I don't second guess. I don't do nothing. And
he's always been one of them men who, when you
talk to them, and your old man's the same. Kenny
Watson's the same. Mark Alexander's the same.
They don't talk to you like you're a fucking
idiot. They don't talk to you like you're a child.
They talk to you like you're their equal. Yep.
And the way he explains things to me, I have
no qualms with – qualms? Qualms. Qualms. No doubts.
I have no doubts with believing what he says.
Yep. And he's told me some fucking shit. Yeah,
right. So I like – I want to think there's something
else. I want to believe. Because it means that
this – isn't the end and I'm going to see some
other shit and I love, I'm all for the experience.
Rain put me, my daughter Rain put me on, I don't
need to say daughter Rain, you know who Rain
is. She put me onto this channel called Sam and
Colby and they went and stayed at a room on the
Princess Mary over in America. Now, this room
was closed for years. You couldn't stay in this
room. You couldn't stay on the ship. But they
got access to this room, and they were sitting
in this room, and there was two religious fellas
with them, and they're like, we've got to go.
We're going. See you later. And they're like,
why? Why? Why don't you stay? No. We're going.
We're fucking out. And they left, and they're
like, if you keep recording in that room, we're
not going to have a channel. Yep. Stopped recording
in that room. So they went, okay, we're not going
to record in there. But they snuck a fucking
phone in there. Now, this room is, there's a
closet, there's the room, and then there's a
hallway. Yep. That's the outside of the ship.
That's another hallway. Yep. They heard knocking.
And when they said, can you knock for us, they
heard knocking. Now, they cut to the camera on
the outside when it was said this. Yeah. And
you could audibly hear a loud, clear knocking
from this wall. Yeah. And there was no one there.
See, talking about that Ghost Hunters, I fucking
love that show. I didn't put much stock in it.
Yeah. Because you never know. Yeah. I'd like
to believe. that they were 100 % on the level
because, you know, whether they were doing the
smart thing and not every room they went to had
any kind of experiences, but then they had experiences
at some other places and whatever. Yeah, you
just don't know. Yeah, if they're having an interaction
in every room they stay in, then bullshit. Yeah.
But if you're getting... 25 episodes and you
get one or two reactions in it, then you've got
to think. Yeah, well, I mean, they're either
doing the smart thing and making it plausible,
oh, you know, we debunk this and that and whatever,
and then we have some genuine. But even the thing
I found about that show was their genuine, when
something happened, wasn't even a big thing.
Yeah. Wasn't even a miraculous thing. It just
happened to be something they're like, that's
fucking weird. Or whatnot. So, yeah, I kind of
like that show for that reason. You know, maybe
one day if this everything ever takes off, we
can do some ghost hunting. Oh, dude, it'd be
cool. It would be fucking cool. It'd be so fucking
cool. Because there's houses you can go over
to in the States. There's like the Texas Chainsaw
Massacre house. There's the Queen Mary that we
were just talking about. There's the Stanley.
Dude, I would love to stay in that sort of shit.
I'd even like to go and stay in the hotel where
they actually filmed The Shining. Yeah. Because
just to experience that. Yeah, The Shining ain't
the best movie. So The Shining, when they recorded
that, it was purely from the outside. The inside
was full set. Oh, right. Okay. Well, there you
go. Yeah. All right. Bellbird Hotel's meant to
be fucking. They reckon it's the most haunted
pub in New South Wales, dude. Yeah, apparently.
Should we do an on -site? Mate, this thing is
enough for the moment. If we can ever get beyond
this, I'd be down. And we can retire. I'd be
down for, you know, whatever. Yeah, I like –
like I love our little room here and I love being
able to just shoot the shit and every Friday
we know we're going to be here at 3 .30. Yeah.
No one knows where we are, by the way. Wrong
location. We've got turrets set up outside. You
can't get to us. Yeah, do this, son. I would
get scared shitless, like petrified to the point
where I'd be like, and you'd have to say, come
on, buddy, come on, and you'd have to lead me
by the hand, but I'd be so excited. See, I don't
want to big up myself, but, like, movies don't
scare me. Like you're scared from fucking trailers
in case you haven't seen it. Even like we'll
be at work and something big bangs and everybody
around me jumps. And it was just a whole dark
state. And then 14 million years ago expansion
started. But like even just like that kind of
reaction, like I don't get that. So. Motherfucker,
I jump at my own shadow. I can probably. Name
like five times I've been like, whoa, what the
fuck was that? Really? I just don't have that
reaction. Is it because you're inhuman? People
have tried to scare me. It doesn't work. I'm
like, oh, hey, man. Get fucking ready. Now I
know. Try. Like, I'd want to. I know. What window
is your bedroom? That was another thing. And
this just shows how much I love my cousins, Jake
and Josh. So Stoney dude is Josh. He was a streamer.
Yep. And that's how he met Mike and Denny. He
was a streamer and he lived over here on Old
Maitland Road that goes to Mad Mile. So he lived
on that main road just across the road from.
Cessna Mitsubishi, right? And he was streaming
this game one night and it was a horror game.
And he would do these things where it was like
a Friday night. Friday, Friday night he called
it. So he would stream but he would have – it
would only be horror games and if you made a
donation, it would make an announcement. And
it was either like a massive – and it was just
so sudden. So there was one night, dude, he was
playing this game where it was a girl had gone
missing and you're in a hotel room and you've
got to figure out where she is, what's happened
to her and all this sort of stuff. And people
are trying to get into the room to get to you
because it was a cover -up. Yeah. So you've got
to go to the window and check the window is closed
and you've got to go to the door and make sure
no one's in the hallway. Well, as his character
has walked over to the hallway and looked in
the peeping thing. A face has come up straight
like that, someone's donated, and I've banged
on his fucking window. The perfect storm. Headset
off, out of the chair, fucking left the thing,
and I'm like, yes! Because I was watching his
stream, I'm like, I'm going to fuck this guy
real hard. Not like the general Friday night,
fuck this guy real hard. Like this was a really,
and it was just a perfect storm of all the things
that happened in that moment. It was so good.
Yeah, because, I mean, the only time I've ever
been scared in a horror movie is when me young
fella, I was home alone. Young fella was in bed
before Theo was born. Steph was out. I was watching.
I was watching. How hard did you punch Landy,
man? No, I didn't punch him. Damn it. It was,
man, coincidence. Fucking coincidence is a funny
thing. Right as the tension's building. I think
it was the conjuring the devil made me do it.
Okay, yep. Building, building, building. Really
good at building tension in those movies. And
then there's this bang, bang. Oh, what the fuck
is that? And then there's this wail. And just
as the fucking, you know, you hit this crescendo
of this part, Landon fell out of bed and just
woke up crying in the middle of the night. So
I was like, what the fuck? Because that was like
a visceral reaction. Yes, sir. It was in the
house and whatnot. They're like, all right, sorry,
I've got to kid. Anyway. So movies don't do that
for me and I kind of wish they did because, you
know, I watch movies and Steph shits herself.
Have you been to a therapist? No. He's got a
telling group. I don't know. I can see the build
coming. I'm like, oh, yeah, something's cool.
And when it happens, I'm like, oh, that's cool.
Yeah. That's cool. It doesn't scare me. I think
the only other time that I can remember off the
top of my head. So this was before we had kids
and we were looking after my niece and it was
like her first sleepover and she was in what
is now the kids' room sleeping in bed. Anyway,
I got up in the middle of the night for a piss,
forgot we had somebody else in the house with
us. Yeah. No lights on, I go to walk through
the house for a piss. I meet in the fucking hallway
some little entity. Fucking drop kick straight
to the chest. Shadow person. I nearly fucking
booted my niece in the face, man. And, like,
but there was no physical reaction. It was just,
like, I saw it. I was like, I'm going to kick
that. Yeah. But I didn't. And then she goes,
Uncle Jeremy. I'm like, oh, darling, come on.
Like, she wasn't even speaking at the time. Yeah,
right. Nah, fuck that. She would have got kicked.
Oh, man. It was good. I was like, I'll pay that,
darling. Yeah. That would have been a baby -shaped
hole in my fucking wall, dude. Serious. It was
gnarly. Because I must have made a sound because
Steph got up and she's like, you all right? I'm
like, oh, yeah, no. You didn't hear a sound.
She smelt shit and she come and checked your
pants. Yeah. Yeah. Talking about The Conjuring,
in the first movie where she's playing hide and
go seek with her brother or something and he's
like, and then she walks in that fucking room
and that thing's on the closet. Yeah, boy. Fucking
punch me TV straight to black. Don't want to
see that. See ya. I fucking love it, man. I want
to feel that, but I don't. Oh, fuck off. Now
I'm itchy. Because you went, that's all you had
to do. Now I'm itchy. My nipples are erect. I'm
itchy. I'm sweating. It might be menopause. I
don't know. Menopause. Yeah, like when we stayed
at the Stanley, it was that weird feeling. I'm
like, am I on edge because something's going
on? Yeah. Or am I just kind of. waiting for something
to happen and nothing ever happened. I would
like to be in a place like that with a camera
and some fucking gear. I'd like to take some
bump boxes and shit. Yeah, there's some fucking
cool stuff you can do. Because you can buy them
boxes and shit off Amazon, dude. They're cheap
as shit. Buy an infrared cam. I'll fart, make
sure it works. I mean. And then you just, like,
we're walking through and you'll just zoom in
on my crotch, sweat. It's just going to be hot
crotch food. It's going to be incredibly sexy.
I'll walk into fucking places by myself. I don't
care. You're a dickhead. With a fucking night
cam on my face and come on, give me something.
No. I want to see a full body apparition. Let
me have it. No. Somebody talk to me. Like, yeah.
No. No. I want it. You can hug me tight and make
sure I'm safe. Yeah. But see, that'd be the good
thing because we're both at different ends of
the spectrum. Yeah. I'm fully retarded. You're
not really that much. Or too far the other way.
Yeah. Look, I'm more for that sort of stuff.
And like you said, I'll watch AJ Gentile on the
Y -Files. And it's probably one of the best YouTube
channels out there, apart from the Prevailing
Strange podcast that everybody should be tuning
into every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. He
explains me to a T. He's a skeptic, but he wants
to know. He wants to believe in something. That's
me, dude. I'm skeptical. I don't know if it is,
but I'm not going to sit there and be a dickhead
and go, no, it doesn't. If people have had an
experience, I'm going to go, fuck off, idiot.
That's a load of bullshit. I want to experience
shit. I want to see aliens. Like Dead Set Man,
again, fucking hell. It's probably because I'm
closest to him. Uncle Neil used to have security
cameras set up at his house. He used to live
at – near Karua, but it was on the lake. I forget
the name of the town. But he used to live, so
he used to have a big two -story house, had his
own jetty and everything. He had a security camera
set up, and dude, the amount of shit that he
fucking witnessed over that lake was ridiculous.
Yeah, right. And I want to see shit. I want to
see shit. I want to see fucking aliens. I want
to see spacecraft. I want to see a ghost. I want
to be scared shitless. Just don't sneak up behind
me because I'll poop. But I'd love to go to some
haunted, haunt some hotels and shit. Fuck you.
But like I said, that Hydro Majestic, that image
I showed you, I don't know if you're going to
put up an image. I can put up an image, yeah.
But it looks haunted. It looks like the shiny
one. It's built on a fucking cliff face, dude.
And it's in the Blue Mountains. It's literally
an hour and a half drive from here. A little
bit longer, but yeah. It'd be incredible. I've
wanted to go stay there for a long time, and
I might have to get there one day, which I want
to do. Man, I can't remember the name of it.
Anyway, I'm going to tell you about it, and then
I'll put the name fucking up here somewhere because
I can't remember it right now. Anyway, it was
this documentary about these. There's a few of
them. There's one fellow in particular. He's
the main guy and his wife. They have like a conspiracy
theory kind of ghost hunters -esque type channel.
So he – it started off with he got this email
from a person. Remember chain mails? Yeah. And
it was in like the Appalachian type area. Don't
even get me fucking started. Yeah. very kind
of kellyville goblin fucking style thing going
on anyway so it was it was a it was a multi -part
documentary and it starts off as one thing and
then it turns into another and it's like this
all these coincidences and um like it's one of
those things that i kind of want to believe in
but like they're really kind of pulling They're
trying hard. They're trying real hard. The first
season was good. I liked it. I'm like, oh, where
is this going? This is fucking weird. They go
in places where they're not really welcome and
in the Appalachian Mountains and it kind of ties
into the Mothman kind of thing. Yes, dude. Mothman
prophecies. And then by the end of the first
season, they get really hooked on coincidences
and the way things kind of. Coincidence isn't
the right word, but it's the way things kind
of are popping up and happening and they're relating
them. So two of these guys that they get on have
a residency at the Stanley Hotel. They're ghost
hunters there and they come in and they bring
in all these kind of talk boxes and these different
things that they use and some of the things that
– so one of them is like a – One person wears
these headphones and it's like basically a scanner
for radio channels. It's like... It's just going
through and basically old mate sits there and
he listens and whatever pops out to him pops
out to him. But he's cut off from everybody else.
So everybody else is asking questions. It's pretty
weird, kind of unconventional, and then sometimes
it hits, sometimes it doesn't. and they'll be
asking questions, and he just kind of spurts
out whatever hits him at the time from whatever
the radio's picked up. And just sometimes those
coincidences are pretty crazy. Anyway, it leads
them to this fucking cave in the middle of nowhere,
and they go there, and they fucking get scared
and leave. Oh, man. I'll put the fucking name
here. I'm going to have to go home and go through
my history to figure it out. I'm so frustrated.
Oh, man. He's so frustrated. I am because it
was a full, solid few days and I watched it all
and I'm like, is it going to go somewhere? It
didn't really end up going anywhere but it was
cool to watch. Yeah. Sometimes you're just there
for the experience rather than fucking the outcome.
Like I said, I'm petrified but excited. I haven't
stayed anywhere that's been toted as haunted.
This place here, for the first two years that
we were here, if I was here after dark and I
was the last person, I'd close my eyes and run
to the door. I'd just go, and lights. And then
running out the front. The little kid thing.
Push the door, close it, and then lock it. Nailed
it. Man, one of the things I used to do was I
never used to look in mirrors in the dark. I
don't know why. You're not going to fucking see
anything. It's dark, you dickhead. I don't know.
I don't know. I just never do it until, like,
recently. I've just been like, oh, fuck it, whatever.
I used to fucking go to a room that had a mirror
on, light on. I don't want to see that mirror
in the dark. Yeah, I don't know. That was just,
I don't know. You know what a horror movie trope
that I fucking detest? Where they open the medicine
cabinet and then they close it and there's something
behind it. There's a reveal, yeah. Such a shitty
trope, dude. It doesn't even. At this point,
I'm like - Here we go. Here we fucking go. Yeah.
The first time they did it probably would have
been sensational. Horrifying. Yeah. 78th time
they did it? Yeah. Yeah, shit. Yeah, that jump
scare reveal. Yeah. There's a movie I was going
to watch today in the shop called Sinister. Have
you seen it? Sinister? No, I haven't seen it.
Ethan Hawke? I've heard of it. I haven't seen
it. Great film. Yeah. Probably one of – oh, actually,
one of the other ones that really scared the
fucking living daylights out of me, it was called
Shutter with the pacey out of Dawson's Creek
in it. He's also – Joshua Jackson. That's him.
So the whole time, like, he's rubbing his neck
and he's – the whole way through the movie, she's
like, he's a photographer in Japan, a fashion
photographer. So the whole way through, you see
him sort of doing this, massaging his neck. You
don't think anything of it. And then it's like
he's haunted as fuck. So the whole way through,
he's just like going through life, going through
the motions, blah, blah, blah, blah. But then
at the end of it, it's got this fucking massive
thing where he looks at photographs and there's
always a chick back in the background. And it
was a chick that he hooked up with and had. I'm
not going to spoil it whether he killed her or
not. Yeah, I did remember seeing this. She's
back there. Yeah. And then he's like, it's always
fucking neck and shoulders pain and blah, blah,
blah, blah. And after a while he stops seeing
her in photos. And then he starts taking selfies.
And he starts seeing her sitting on his fucking
neck. And he's like, oh. Yeah. Yeah. Scary as
shit. But the scariest thing I've ever witnessed
is. Just humanity. Amen to that. Humanity is
far more fucking scary than the ghost story,
bro. Yeah. I like to live in my bubble and not
worry about what's going on in the world. Rachel
loves true crime documentaries. Like we watched
a documentary the other day about a young lady,
Ann Papini or something her name is. I think
that's her name. So she was a young, beautiful,
blonde, blue -eyed lady in America. married to
a man and went missing. At the end of her driveway,
they found her iPod, they found her headphones,
they found a clump of her hair. 26 days later,
she resurfaces, bruised, burnt, beaten, has had
a haircut, is like 20 kilos lighter. And it's
like, what the fucking hell? She'd done it herself.
Oh, is this what that - Gone Girl was based on.
Gone Girl was based on, yeah. So she fucked off
with her ex -boyfriend, cheated on her husband.
Yeah. And when she'd had her fill, was like,
oh, I'm going back. Said, oh, two Latino woman
kidnapped me, tortured me, raped me, done all
this sort of - sorry, raped me, done all this
other stuff. And - There's burns on her, dude,
that are into the third layer of fat, like you
could fit a finger in these holes. She'd asked
her boyfriend. Her boyfriend was a hockey player,
the guy she was snuck off to see. She said, can
you hit me with hockey pucks? So he was having
fucking knuckle puck shots at her. And I'm like,
just leave. Yeah. There's so much suffering in
this world that goes on out there that I can't
bear to look at. Dude, and that's what I say
to Rachel all the time. I say, I don't want to
watch it. I don't want to watch it. I would rather
watch something in space. I would rather watch
something fantasy. I would rather watch – it
takes me out. Give me a supernatural horror.
Yes, sir. Give me a sci -fi, a high fantasy.
Give me something that is an escape from reality.
Everyone thinks that I'm a child because I love
Marvel. Everyone thinks I'm a child because I
love sci -fi. Guess what it doesn't do? It doesn't
stress me the fuck out. I'm okay. There's that
much dark and evil shit in the world today that
I just like having an escape. And that's why
I use my – this here is one of the best times
I have during the week because – Apart from this,
it's everybody talking about what's going on
in America. It's everybody talking about what's
going on in Gaza. It's everybody talking about,
you know what? I want to get up. I want to hug
my kid and I want to go to work. Yeah. I want
to talk shit with me friend every Friday afternoon.
Absolutely. Yeah. And we need to go stay at the
Stanley Hotel. Fucking hell. Overlook. On that
note. Stay spooky. So lame. Yeah, I'm excited
