Speaker 1 (00:56):
Ready to be by the Wizard of Weird. This is
Strange Warren. I am Joshua Wie Warren, and each week
on this show, I'll be bringing you a brand new
my blowing content, news exercises, and weird experiments you can

(01:19):
do at home, and a lot more on this edition
of the show. Who is Senor Mysterioso? Yes? Who is
Senior Mysterioso? Hmmm, that's a good question. It's a good question,

(01:40):
isn't it. Do you even know what I'm talking about?
I seriously doubt it. But this is not a joke
or a fluke. It's a real topic, and I guess
I should just begin by telling you how it all
unfolded for me. And by the way, I'm getting over
a cold, so forgive me if my voice sounds a

(02:03):
bit on the rough side. You know, George Norriy, the
host of Coast to Coast AM, has just an incredibly
busy schedule. I mean, he in addition to his radio show,
you know, he does TV shows, and he travels all
over the country every year and does these live events
called George Norri Live, where he'll you know, he'll rent
out a theater and sit there on stage and interview

(02:26):
guests in person. In addition to other entertainment, George likes
to sing songs and tell jokes and it's a fun
time for all. And once in a while, George Norri
and his producer Tom dan Heiser invite me to come
to these events and be, you know, one of the
guests who sits there and talks to George and then

(02:49):
answers questions for the audience. I did one in Ashville,
North Carolina, my hometown, did one of Boise, Idaho, and
back in twenty twenty one, George did an event in Everett, Washington,
talking about Washington State. Here, of course, Everett Washington, which
is outside of Seattle, and I had never been to
Seattle before, and I'd always wanted to go there, so

(03:12):
I was more than happy to fly up there. My
wife Lauren came with me and we in addition to
the show, since I'd never been there, I added in
all this extra time so I could drive around and
explore the countryside and go into the mountains where all
the big foot sightings are, and go to the coast
and all that kind of stuff. Well, one of the

(03:35):
places that was just a must see for me, one
of the places on my bucket list in Seattle is
this store called Archie McPhee. And I mean it's a
novelty shop. I will say that it's but it's one
of a kind, and I would say it is the

(03:56):
ultimate novelty shop in the world. I was. Of all
the things I did in Seattle, I mean right there,
one of the top things was to go to Archie McFee.
If you go to their website, and by the way,
I'm not affiliated with Archie McFee, but it's McPhee McPhee

(04:17):
McFee dot com. It says for more than thirty years,
Archie McFee has been bringing strange and amazing things to
the world. We design and manufacture the kinds of impractical
items that make life better, says Located in Seattle, our
owner Mark Pollow started the business selling rubber lizards and
other crazy things out of his house in la He

(04:37):
found that people couldn't get enough of his collectible junk,
but he needed space for his company to grow. Risking
it all, he packed his entire inventory into a U
haul truck and headed for Seattle. In nineteen eighty three,
he set up shop with two employees in Seattle's Fremont District,
using the name Archie McPhee. It's fascinating story and there's

(04:59):
actually a really cool book about the history of it
called Who Would Buy This? The Archie McFee Story, And
he just you know, this guy came up with all
of these just like crazy, goofy novelty items and has
sold I don't even know how many to stay in business.
So anyway, one day, Lauren and I we drive up
to the Archie McFee store and I walked inside and

(05:22):
I was just like, oh, I mean I was. It's
one of those things where it was so overwhelming to
go into that store that It was almost frustrating because
it's like I wanted to see everything, but all at once,
and that's impossible, so I just had to take it
item by item. And of course, you know, this is

(05:43):
one of the problems with me when I travel. I'll
be like, oh, I'm gonna take here's my budget for
this trip, you know, and I'll have a nice little
trip budgeted out, and I'll go there and I'll be like, well,
let's check out the local antique stores. And before you
know it, I'm like boxing up stuff and shipping it
back to myself. I get home and my trip costs

(06:03):
twice what I was expecting because I buy all this stuff, like, oh,
I'm never gonna find that anywhere else. It's like earlier
this year, you know, we went to San Diego on vacation,
and like two hours before our airplane left, we go
to San Diego Antique and Unique and uh walk in
and Lauren goes, wow, look at that beautiful vintage Italian fountain. Yeah,

(06:28):
like a big fountain, Like, hmm, how can we get
that to Vica. Gotta have it. So anyway, like you know,
a few days later, after I'm back from the trip,
a truck pulls up my driveway. There's two people like
unloading a fountain and all these other box It's like, man,
that was an expensive vacation. Getting back to the story
at hand, as I was walking through Archie McFee and

(06:49):
they also have in addition to their products, they have
interesting exhibits and displays and they have gaffs and interactive
stuff you can do. I started seeing these products about
Signor Mysterioso. Now I'm talking about things like air fresheners

(07:13):
and refrigerator magnets and lapel pins and stuff like that,
and it just has this guy. He's standing there with
his arms behind his back, wearing a white three piece
suit and a white fedora, and he has a little

(07:35):
mustache and kind of an expressionless face. And I was
just like, well, who is Signor Mysterioso? Right? And there
was I never saw a good explanation for so I
was like, whatever the marketing is here, it's working for me.
So I actually bought some Senior Mysterioso stuff, not even

(07:56):
knowing who Signior Mysterioso was, and didn't even ask them
because again I just like had too much on my mind.
So then I got back home and I started going
through my stuff, and I was like, who is this
guy seenor masterios this rather pleasant, mild mannered looking man
wearing the fedora. And I realized that back and around

(08:18):
the year two thousand, Archie McPhee actually made a Senior
Mysterio so action figure. And I thought, well, that looks cool.
That looks like something I should have in my collection
because it glows in the dark. And I realized that
you couldn't find it anymore. I guess they don't make
it anymore. And I got online and searched and searched,
and I couldn't find one for sale online, and so

(08:42):
I became very interested in just who this person is
Senior Mysterioso. Well, guess what. I finally found one of
these action figures online the other day and I bought it.
It was not cheap and it's still brand new in
the package. Now, let me read to you the back
of this the card here that this action figure is on.

(09:04):
And if I can remember, I'll ask Lauren to put
a picture of this on my show's Instagram page, which
is just I think it's just Joshua P. Warren podcast
on Instagram. Signor Mysterioso now You're connected bring danger and
mystery to your mundane existence. Featuring glow atomic suit, It

(09:28):
says on the back, m is signor mysterioso, an extremely
dangerous man or just a harmless socialite and a glowing suit.
He has inexplicably become entangled in all the major events
and the last half of the twentieth century, and nobody
is sure just how much he knows. His motives are unclear,

(09:50):
but there is documentation of meetings with extraterrestrials Howard Hughes,
George Steinbrenner, J. D. Salinger, Chuck Norris, David P. Reinhardt,
and pe Wee Herman. Photos have shown him leaving the
White House late at night, but no records of his
visits can be found. He once had lunch with Jack

(10:11):
Nicholson at Pink's, although mister Nicholson's agent fervently denies this.
Of course, there are internet cults that worship him. He
has a Costco membership, but is not a member of
the Triple A, even though they offered him his first
year for free. It is said his fee for product
endorsement would be record breaking. He has declined a blank

(10:33):
check from Hollywood for the movie rights of his life
and Publisher's clearing House says he is a million dollar winner,
but the prize money remains unclaimed. He has never been
seen without his well tailored linen suit and fedora. The
function of his suit is a mystery, as is its
unusual luminescence. The Men's Warehouse has engaged its finest private

(10:55):
detectives to obtain the secret of the suit, to no ofvel.
Many believe that the suit allows him to vanish into
thin air, as if stepping in or out of another dimension.
In some circles, the elimination of Signior Mysterioso and his
atomic suit is of the utmost priority. To others, he
is a sought after dinner speaker, even more so than

(11:17):
Henry Kissinger. Who is he? Why is he here? And
who trims that impressive mustache that was written by somebody
with the Accoutremall company, which was the vision of Archie
McPhee around the year two thousand. Sounds pretty crazy, doesn't it? Well,

(11:40):
guess what? Guess what Sor Mysterioso is real? Yeah, bet
you didn't see that one coming. And when we come
back from this break, I will explain. Uh, do you

listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to
Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will be right back.

(13:29):
Welcome back to Strange Things on the Iheartbridio and Coast
to Coast a m Paranormal podcast Network. I am your host,
the Wizard of Weird, Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your
wormhole brain from my studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada,
where every day is golden and every night is silver.

(13:50):
A Gietato zume. And I just realized that my wife
is probably going to be miffed at when she hears
this show, because she's gonna say that I made it
sound like that she pressured me into buying the vintage

(14:11):
Italian fountain that we have in our atrium, and that
is not the case. It was all my idea. And now, honestly,
we both we both love this fountain. I guess now
we'll have to put a picture of this thing also,
if we can remember, on the show's Instagram page, because

(14:32):
it is it's it's it's it's big. I mean it's
it comes up to my waist. I'm six foot two,
and then it has all these fancy lights and little
cherubs and things on it and I've never seen one
like it, uh, And we love the way it sounds.
It has just that right anyway, it's it brings a

(14:54):
lot of peace and good fung shue to the house.
My wife will if you can't ever pressure me to
do anything. All right, let's get back to the story,
shall we. Senior mysterios So you know reading that to you,
doesn't it remind you right off the bat of the

(15:16):
Dose Equi's most interesting man in the world, Right you
remember that campaign, let's see started in two thousand and
six ended in twenty eighteen. Why would you end that
the most interesting man in the world selling beer? I

(15:36):
you know, I get off on these tangents and I
go down these rabbit holes, and I was like, who
was that guy who played the most interesting man? Is?
He's an actor named Jonathan Goldsmith, and he is now
eighty six years old. And because I don't remember seeing
him in any other movies, but he's done a lot
of work obviously over the years. And listen to this.

(15:58):
It says that that man, and we're talking about the
actor now, who was in the Dose Sequis commercials, not
Senior MYSTERIOSO. Let me confuse you. The actor in those
commercials Goldsmith. It says he first established himself as an
actor in Western films. And it says that in this

(16:20):
film nineteen seventy six called The Shootest, which I've heard
of that, but I don't think i've seen it, he
played a villain who was shot between the eyes by
John Wayne, and it says John Wayne fired blood capsules
from a special pellet gun at point blank range into

(16:40):
Goldsmith's face for seven painful takes. Actors, they seem to
have had more fortitude back in the day, don't you
think nowadays? I don't think they would stand for that.

(17:01):
They would want some cgi or something. Back then, John Wayne,
guys like him and Jonathan Goldsmith when they decided to
make a movie, they were ready to take some pain,
all right, Signor Mysterioso. I'm looking at the action figure

(17:22):
right now. It's about four and a half inches tall.
It's in the plastic here that he just looks like
the ultimate gentleman, three piece suit and tie, fedora mustache. Well,
I started looking into it, and I figured that this
was probably just some character that Archie McPhee company made
up just to you know, like all their other wacky stuff,

(17:43):
just to have an interesting product to sell. But nope,
he was real. Here's one article I found right off
the bat says mystery solved, Signor Misterioso is in fact
a Venezuelan saint. What Well, it turns out he's not
a saint, but he is getting close. This man is

(18:11):
named Jose Gregorio Hernandez. He was born well one day
after my birthday. He was born on October twenty sixth
of eighteen sixty four and he died on June twenty
ninth of nineteen nineteen. He was a Venezuelan physician, and

(18:32):
it says that he became a highly renowned doctor. More
so after his death. He was beadified by the Catholic
Church in twenty twenty one. WHOA, So that okay, when
here's what I'm not Catholic, but here's my understanding of Catholicism.

(18:54):
After someone is dead, if that person was continues to
be very highly revered by members of the Catholic Church,
then they will eventually go to I suppose the bishop
and they will say, we want to recommend you know
that this person be uh be beatified, which means that

(19:18):
you're on the way to becoming a saint. And if
I'm not mistaken here, okay, let me just make sure
I don't want to I don't wanna step on anybody's
toes here. It says beatification from the Latin, which is
basically means blessed, is a recognition accorded to the Catholic
Church of a deceased person's entrance into heaven and capacity

(19:41):
to intercede on behalf of individuals who pray in their name.
Beata is the plural form referring to those who have
undergone the process of beatification. They possess the title of
blessed before their names. So, uh, once, I think, once

(20:02):
you go to a bishop and you say you know enough,
people say like, we want this person to be beatified. Well,
then they form a commission or a committee, I guess,
and that committee investigates the person who is being recommended
and goes over their life with the fine tooth comb,
and then they try to figure out if that person
is eligible, if they really were as good as everybody says.

(20:25):
And then I think, after that, uh, there has to
be at least a miracle that is attributed to that person.
And I read somewhere I wrote this down. I heard it.
I think it was a bishop say one time that
for them, when they go through this process, the miracle
attributed to this individual must be quote instant, comprehensive, and lasting,

(20:55):
and so eventually this person can become a saint if
it meets those requirements over time. Let me tell you
more about this fellow. He was born in a small
village in the state of Tourillo. I guess it's called
Trujillo or Turhillo in Venezuela. It says he spent the

(21:20):
entirety of his childhood and his hometown, where his mother
worked as a housekeeper and his father sold pharmaceuticals and livestock.
At the age of thirteen, he told his parents of
his desire to go to law school and become a lawyer,
but was persuaded by his mother to pursue a career
in medicine instead, So he went off and finally got

(21:43):
his degrees, and he graduated in eighteen eighty eight as
a medical doctor. And during let's see, from eighteen ninety
one to nineteen sixteen, he dedicated himself to teaching to
medicine to religious practices. Well. He made two attempts to
begin studies for the priesthood, but his fragile physical conditions

(22:08):
would ultimately stand in his way. That's interesting, isn't it.
He's a great doctor, but he has some I don't
know what they mean by fragile physical conditions, but he
decided I guess, combining his medical prowess with his faith
to start treating the poor for free, and even bought

(22:30):
the medicines with his own money. He published some important
papers in some scientific journals. It says when nineteen eighteen
hit with the Spanish flu there in Venezuela, he treated
patients freely all over the place and just had a
knack for healing people, using both faith and prayer as

(22:53):
well as well science. And then it says that he
died in nineteen at the age of fifty four, when
he was struck by an automobile. How about that? Is
that something he helps all these people and then he
gets hit by a car. Hopefully it was a fast

(23:16):
and painless death. But says here after his death, Hernandez's
fame began to spread. Claims were made around the country
that miracles had been experienced in cases where his intercession
before God had been evoked. Eventually, his name became known
all over Latin America and Spain. His healing help is
often invoked by both doctors and patients. He is also

(23:40):
called upon for protection during overland journeys. In nineteen forty nine,
Venezuelan Catholic Church officials began the process of determining whether
or not Hernandez was eligible for sainthood. In nineteen eighty five,
the Holy See granted him the title of Venerable, and
then the next step in the pros for Hernandez was

(24:02):
that of beatification. Okay, so you got to be venerable
before you can be beatified. I thought there was a
step in there. In June of twenty twenty, Pope Francis
decided in favor of the beatification of Jose Grigorio Hernandez
after the recovery of a girl who had been shot

(24:23):
in the head, and this had been recognized as a
miracle attributed to him. The solemn proclamation was made in
a mass celebrated on the thirtieth of April twenty twenty one.
All Right, we're up on a break. When we come back,
let's talk a little bit more about Like there's a
relic from this guy. There's a part of his dead

(24:46):
body that travels around and people say it heals them.
Maybe you could take advantage of this. I don't know.
There's a lot to talk about, but well, just stay tuned.
I'm Joshua pe Warren, and you're listening to strange things

(25:07):
on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network,
and I will be back after these important messages. Welcome

(25:51):
back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to
Coast AM Paranormal Podcast net work. I'm your host, Joshua P. Warren,
and this is the show where the unusual becomes usual.
You know, I just realized that I may have actually

(26:13):
made my wife more angry at me by saying what
I said in the last segment, because what if she says,
you know, I wasn't niffed that in the first segment,
you suggested that I pressured you into buying the vintage
Italian fountain until you brought it up again in the

(26:34):
second segment, and then that made it sound like I
really did pressure you into buying it, because now people
will think that, you know, I'm the kind of person
who would be miffed over something like that, and that
you had to backpedal to make sure that I wasn't miffed,
even though now I aunt geez, you know what, I'm

(26:58):
just going to shut up right now, or she's going
to be super pod. Okay, what was I talking about?
Oh yeah, Senior mysterioso. So there is this article here, Well,

(27:21):
let's see. Oh yeah, this is Reiters published Uh well,
October twenty sixth, on his birthday. Twenty twenty says Venezuela
exumes remains of doctor beatified by Vatican. Yes, Senor Mysterioso
Venezuelan forensic experts on Monday exum the remains of Jose

(27:42):
Grigorio Hernandez, whose beatification decree was signed by Pope Francis.
It says, the Vatican announced the beatification of Fernandez, a
doctor known for treating the poor during the Spanish flu
pandemic a century ago. His remains were exhumed. Isn't that weird?

(28:03):
His remains were exhumed in a ceremony at a church
in Caracas, quote to guarantee the prolonged preservation of his
body end quote. The exhumation will collect relics, including skeletal
remains and clothing, which will be distributed to dioceses in Venezuela,
the Holy See and the sanctuaries created in other countries

(28:26):
in honor of Hernandez. U It says he was of course,
they talked about a little bit of his life, known
as the Doctor of the Poor, died in nineteen nineteen
after being hit by a car, And then it says
the church cited Yaxeri Solarzano, a girl who in twenty
seventeen defied doctor's predictions that she would either die or

(28:49):
be unable to walk and speak after being shot in
the head following an attempted robbery. She was ten years
old at the time, so that's more detail on that case.
It is said that her mother prayed to Hernandez to
save the life of her daughter, and her daughter walked
out of the hospital several weeks later after fully recovering

(29:13):
from her injuries. Isn't that something? I don't know who
started calling him signor mysterioso. By the way, I haven't
found that, but I guess you know, it kind of
makes sense. He he just looks like such a mysterious guy.
Here's a piece Miami arch dot Org. It says when

(29:35):
she had kidney surgery eighteen years ago, Lydia Alcala prayed
to Jose Gregorio Hernandez, known as the Venezuelan Doctor of
the poor. She prayed that everything would go well after
since a week after the procedure. Quote, he visited me.
It was him. He came as a doctor with two

(29:55):
assistants and opened to the wound. He told me not
to worry, that everything was fine. She went on to say,
since then, I have not felt any pain. I am
doing very well. End quote. She only has one kidney
and everything's just going fine for her. And you know,
it says, listen to this now. It says that Miami

(30:20):
was the last stop of a ten day visit to
several US cities, including New York, Washington, d C. And Boston,
where this cardinal had masses, and he brought with him
a relic of Jose Gregorio, whom Pope Francis had just

(30:41):
declared blessed a year ago. The relic was a phalanx
that's a piece of a finger, a phalanx of one
of his fingers, and it's going to remain in a
cathedral in Caracas. And then the cardinals said, quote, but

(31:02):
we have also left authentic relic relics and cities we
have visited in quote. Wow that how strange is that?
You know a lot of people they die and they
get cremated. But what I mean, what do you do?
I guess like there are no no relics from Saint
Joan of arc right, But so you dig up a

(31:27):
dead person and you get the remains, and you take
those remains around, and people believe those remains have power. Uh,
if you go to look up exactly what a relic is.
In religion, a relic is an object or article of
religious significance from the past. It usually consists of the

(31:50):
physical remains or personal effects of a saint or other person,
preserved for the purpose of veneration as a tangible memorial.
Relics are an important part or aspect of some forms
of Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Shamanism, and many other religions. Relic
derives from a Latin word which means remains. I remember,

(32:16):
of course very well. Of course, you know, I used
to spend a lot of time in Puerto Rico, and
whenever people would come to Puerto Rico, even though I
lived in Bocrone, which is on the opposite side of
the island from San Juan, people would come to Puerto
Rico and I'd take them on excursions, and I would
always take them into the Basilica there in San Juan,

(32:38):
where there is well, at least there was, I haven't
been there in seven years now, but a glass case
that had the body of at Saint Pius, a Roman martyr,

(32:58):
and they had kind of like a fake face on him.
I think it was kind of like a wax face. Uh,
and that you could still see very clearly parts of
his skull and uh, let's see. I wonder I don't
remember when when he died exactly, but also that that

(33:21):
church is cool because it has the tomb of Pulse
de Leon, Poulse de de Leon, the first governor of
Puerto Rico, who also, of course was famous for searching
for the Fountain of Youth. And I I think I
could make a pretty good case that he found the
Fountain of youth in some of Puerto Rico's bioluminescent days,

(33:44):
because Puerto Rico has more year round bioluminescent days than
any other place in the world. And there's let me
just tell you, if there's one thing that you have
to do before you die, go to Puerto Rico. Go
go out to the island of Yaka and jump into
the like have a boat take you out. Hopefully they

(34:06):
still do that. Some people are against letting people swim
in the biobay, but I bet they still do. Have
somebody take you out. To that biobay and just jump
into that warm water about you know, eight or nine
o'clock at night, after you've had a couple of RUMs,
and it's it'll be the most magical moment of your life.

(34:26):
So Senior Mysterioso is now he's being his relics are
being taken all around the world. It sounds like, and
I don't know, would you feel okay praying to somebody
like that to intercede on your behalf. Some people would
say that's blasphemous to pray to anything other than God

(34:47):
or Jesus. Well, you know what, here's I got this
excuse me. I have this action figure in my hands
right now, and again it's rare, and I was thinking
that maybe what I would do is open this thing
right here with you on the show. And I know

(35:10):
some of you who are collectors are like, no, don't
do it, that's insane. Well, you have to understand, I'm
the kind of guy who like, if I buy like
a vintage magazine and it's in the plastic sleeve like
a comic book or something like that, I will pop
it right open and pull it out and read it
because it doesn't do me any good. Sitting on a shelf.

(35:31):
I want to enjoy the words. I want to enjoy
the images. I realize, yes, it's not going to be
as valuable to people in the future after I am dead,
but I don't really care about that. I care about,
you know, experiencing what the artist wanted me to experience.
So I was my part of my plan was to

(35:52):
open the signor Mysterioso right here. But then, you know,
but I was looking at it during the break and
I thought to myself, he looks so good in this package.
I mean, it's it's it's the art is so great.

(36:12):
You can still see him glowing in the dark. There's
kind of like an optical illusion behind him. On the
back of it. The whole story is there, and I
know that if I opened him then he would just
get disconnected from the card that has all the information
about him. And so I actually have decided, not because

(36:35):
of any collector reasons or anything like that. I just
like the way he looks in the package. So I'm
going to keep him that way. And I don't think
it would do me much good to open Senior Mysterious,
but I'm going to charge him up, make sure he
glows really well, and I'm going to put him right

(36:55):
next to my bed and I'm gonna say senior stereo,
so help me get over this cold. All right, let's
see what happens. We're up on a break. You know
what I speaking miracles. You know how I've been testing
water from places like Lords, France, Well, it occurred to

(37:16):
me that I should test some water from the River Jordan.
That's where Jesus was baptized. When we come back from
this break, I'm going to tell you what I discovered
when I tested water from the River Jordan. I'm Joshua
pe Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio
and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I

(37:38):
will be right back. Welcome back to the final segment

(38:13):
of this edition of Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and
Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host,
Joshua Pee Warren, and I've been thinking about how my
wife is going to feel about this pot Now I'm joking,

(38:34):
but we see. Here's one of the reasons that we've
been together for so long is because we both have
a sense of humor and we're always you know, joking,
and I hate to admit it, but you know, my
wife Lauren, she's she's pretty smart. Occasionally she even beats

(38:54):
me at Jeopardy and trivial Pursuit, and that's horrifying. As
a matter of fact, you know, I was talking about
drinking rum. I was reading about rum the other day
and there is this famous Cuban singer. I don't recall
his name right now, but he died when he was
ninety five years old, and of course everybody would say, well,

(39:16):
what's the key, and he said, I like to every
day have mutton soup and rum. And so I thought, huh,
mutton soup. Well, I'm not exactly sure what mutton is,
so you know, I looked it up, and so anyway,

(39:37):
I go, I go to Lauren and I said, hey, Lauren,
you know what mutton is and she goes, yeah, it's
a sheep. I said, yeah, that's right, and I said
I was doing some research on it, and I like
to eat lamb chops. By the way, sorry vegetarians or
lovers of full grown sheep. I said, I like, you know,

(40:00):
I said, I never actually, you know, realized that like
when a guy has these big, long sideburns that come
down and we call them mutton chops. They call them
that because they look like lamb chops. And she goes, yeah,
you didn't know that. I said, I never really thought

(40:24):
about that, before she goes, really, you know, well, how
about this one, h Do you know? Do you know
why we call sideburns sideburns? They were named after the
American Civil War general Ambrose Burnside, who had uh sideburns,

(40:49):
you know, dick sideburns by way of a mustache, but
left the chin clean shaven. And so people just I
guess they reverse the name Burnside into sideburns. So there's
some useless for you. Try that out on your spouse
and see if your spouse knows why mutton chops are
called mutton chops. Let me know about that, and let
me know if a miracle happens. Also when you invoke

(41:10):
the name of senior mysterio. So of course, I recently
did a podcast about studying water from Lords, France, which
has long been associated with miraculous phenomena. And when I

(41:30):
took that water, as you may recall, and looked at
it under high magnification, I think it was about twelve
hundred times. I was astounded to see over and over
again these things. And this is in the distilled water. Actually,
let me know what I did was I took water
from lords, I put it in a distiller, evaporated everything,

(41:51):
took what was left over, and looked at that under
a microscope twelve hundred times. And I saw a bunch
of particles that looked very cross like or crucifix like.
And if you don't know what I'm talking about, and
you haven't seen this, I turned it into a sigil.
Just go to thesigil lab dot com. Sigel is spelled

(42:12):
s I g I lvsigil lab dot com and you
can scroll down. Okay, there it is. I'm looking at
it right now. I have an actual picture of what
I got from the Lord's water, as well as the
sigil that I turned it into, and I mean, it
just sort of blew my mind. I think you should
take this sigil. If you are in need of some
healing or some miraculous intervention, take that sigil and use it.

(42:38):
Meditate on it. Just look at it. That's all you
have to do, and let me know if anything amazing
happens to you. There's also a sigil there of Einstein's brain,
but that's another podcast I did. My point is I
was astounded by how cross like and how sort of
archetypal these these objects were. They came from the Lord's water.

(43:04):
And so then I was thinking about, you know, other
water to test, and I'm going to have a podcast
coming out soon with some world class, unprecedented results regarding parasigmatics.
But I took water from the River Jordan. You know,
you hear about the River Jordan. That is where Jesus

(43:28):
was baptized in the Levant that flows roughly north to
south through the Sea of Galilee and drains to the
Dead Sea, passes by or through Jordan, Syria, Israel, and
the Palestinian territories. And not only is this where Jesus

(43:49):
was baptized, but the Israelites crossed this river into the
Promised Land. Joshua led them into the Promised Land. If
you know that Bible story Moses, he didn't he was
not allowed to take them all the way into it.
He got them, he got them pretty close. He got

(44:09):
to look at it from a mountaintop, and Joshua took
him into the Promised Land. And it was actually I
think the if I recall properly. The Bible says it
was during like a flood season and it was pretty
treacherous to get across the river at that time. So anyway,
I know, there's no way I'm gonna fly over there
right now and collect any water from the River Jordan.

(44:30):
But I did find what I believe to be a
credible source. I have no way of knowing for certain,
a credible source of Jordan river water, and I ordered it,
which is the same thing I did with Lords. Lords
is a little easier to verify because that you know,
there's like a gift shop there. You're getting stuff from
their gift shop. But so I bought this water that

(44:53):
supposedly from the Jordan River. I did the same thing,
put it in a distiller, rated it down, took what
was left over, put it under the microscope, and it
just looked like a bunch of random blobs scattered all
over the place. And that's what I've gotten so far

(45:14):
from every other water than the water I got from Lords.
And so why it's like the more I do this,
the more significant I think the water from Lords is.
And I don't know if it has to do with
the water itself or if it has to do with

(45:34):
the fact that the water is very highly blessed. For
one thing, it's exposed to all these people who are
there generating this enormous amount of positive energy and healing energy.
But then also it's specifically blessed by a priest before
it gets to you. I haven't made it to a
Catholic church yet to collect some of their holy water,

(45:56):
like a local Catholic church, to put under a microscope
and see what it looks like. That's that's on my
list of many, many things to do. But so I
wish I could report to you that I saw something
fantastic about the water from Jordan. But again the fact
that I did not goes even further to enforcing how
that there's something special about the water that I got

(46:19):
from Lord's And again, if you don't know what I'm
talking about, just go to thesigital lab dot com s
I G I L and scroll down looking at use
it for free and also if you want to get
a personalized sigil. As I record this, we are accepting
requests today. We're about to bump the price up. It

(46:40):
may already be bumped up by the time you hear this.
We we gave everybody a little bit of a discount
for the holidays, but that is not gonna last very long.
I guess here's one one thing I'll leave you with.
If you follow me and my work, you probably know that. Well.
Lauren and I love chihuahua's and we have a little

(47:02):
chihuahua and her name is Dolly, And you know, sometimes
she sleeps in the bed and sometimes she sleeps downstairs.
And she loves her little cage. We don't even have
to close the door on her cage. She just goes
there and loves it. And she's she's got like a
hating pad and stuff in there. This dog is spoiled.

(47:23):
And today, just today, I looked on I have a
very extensive alarm system in my house with cameras and everything.
So at one point she alerted like one of my
cameras went off, and she popped her head up and
she's looking around like there's something downstairs. And I was
asleep upstairs, and then and I heard some kind of

(47:46):
weird noise and then I heard what sounded like, I
don't know an EVP. I mean, this just this just
happened hours ago. And I'm not big on EVP. If
you send me something like an EVP, I'll probably just
turn around and forward it to my buddy Dean Warsing.
He's the real expert on that. I did do a

(48:07):
show episode twelve called Amazing Paranormal Audio that you can
listen to, but I'm not an EVP expert, but I
swear it sounded like something may have been talking downstairs,
and that's right next to where Kennedy the Haunted Doll is,
and so I may have an update for you on

(48:28):
that soon, but for now, my friends, we are out
of time. I hope you've enjoyed the show, but do
yourself a favor. Take a deep breath, if you can,
close your eyes, let us all meditate together on the
good Fortune tone. That's it for this edition of the show.
