Speaker 1 (00:54):
Ready, you will be amazed by the wizard of Weird.
This is a Strange Thing Women, Joshua P. Warren. I
am Joshua P. Warren, and each week on this show,
I'll be bringing you brand new mind blowing content, news, exercises,
and weird experiments you can do at home, and a
(01:18):
lot more on this edition of the show.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Help Me Create Life in a Bottle Genesis Experiment twenty
twenty five. This is It's something I've attempted a couple
of times before, but this time it's going to be different.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I'll fill you in shortly. This is kind of my
own miniature version of being doctor Frankenstein, And if it
ever succeeds, this experiment would be profound. If you actually
have met me and hung out with me in person,
(02:03):
there's a good chance that at some point we shared
a cocktail. I was born in Asheville, North Carolina, which
is full of so many micro breweries it often is
called beer city. And so I had no no shortage
of that growing up, not to mention, you know, all
(02:24):
the moonshining that was happening in them there hills. And
then when I became, you know, a much much older fella,
I moved to Puerto Rico for a while, which is
the rum capital of the world. So I had my
share of of Well I was gonna say rum and cokes,
(02:45):
but take your pick. I mean I I had such
a wide array. I mean, that's where the Bacardi factory is,
and you could mix up just about any anything you want.
And now now I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, which
I mean you can't go anywhere here without there being
alcohol available twenty four seven. And I've said before in
(03:09):
the you know, when I lived in North Carolina, sometimes
I would go to a bar and order a beer
and occasionally, and this is years ago, but I would say,
you know what, let me have a shot with a beer.
That's not an uncommon thing. I think people call that
a boiler maker, where you have a beer with a
(03:30):
shot of whiskey or something like that. And they'd be like, oh, no, no, no,
I'm sorry, that's against the law. We can only serve
one drink at a time. That would be like serving
you two drinks. I mean, so that's sort of how
it was for me growing up and I here in Vegas.
I remember one time I was at a bar and
I ordered a shot of tequila and the bartender said, well,
(03:51):
you know, we have a special going on. You can
get five shots for eight dogs. So it's totally different
mentality here. You gotta be careful to take care of
yourself because the funny thing is, despite the availability of
alcohol here, one of the things that I do for
fun occasionally is ferment my own wine here at my house.
(04:17):
And I do that, and I've done this off and
on for years, because well, I mean, it's it's the
closest thing to chemistry. I guess I dabble with these days,
but I like the fact that, you know, you can
sort of play with different flavors and you can you
can even tweak the alcohol content. And I mean it's
(04:39):
to me, it's fun, I think most of all because
you may have heard that I am a lover of mystery.
And so when you when you put your ingredients into
your your your jugs there, you have to wait at
least a few weeks depending on what you're making, before
it's going to be U ready to drink. And you
(05:02):
just never know how it's going to turn out. And
every single time it's going to be a little different
when you're doing it at home like that. And so
I have had not made a batch of home wine
in quite a while since I moved into my new
house over two and a half years ago. So I
finally decided I wanted to go ahead and get around
(05:22):
to it. So as I was sitting there working on this,
I was thinking also, by the way, you know, even
though as I'm getting older, I mean, I'm trying to
be a much healthier guy. I really am, But the
fact of the matter is I've never been the healthiest guy.
(05:44):
I was telling the other day, I said to my
beautiful wife Lauren, Lauren, I would like to use a
wishing machine or something similar and get up one day
and say, look, congratulations, I am changing all my ways.
(06:05):
You've got the perfect healthy man. I never again am
going to drink or smoke or eat fast food. I'm
only going to eat fish, ethically sourced veggies, and I
feel sorry for that poor grilled fish. God rest his soul.
I'm gonna work out every day starting at five thirty am.
(06:27):
First weights, then cardio. I'll run several miles as I
meditate and praise the universe. Then I'll shower and shave
up and maybe even rub a little oil and lotion
here or there. I'll never curse again. I'll only listen
to positive and uplifting songs and podcasts and messages that
(06:49):
will motivate and elevate my success and our relationship. I'll
look in the mirror and smile at myself and remind
myself that I love myself, and I love every single
day on this magical planet. And I feel this entire
experience is a beautiful, blessing array of light. And I
will embrace sheer positivity every moment under this majestic sun
(07:12):
and moon and all those twinkling, giggling stars on this incredible,
miraculous journey of life, I will be the perfect man. Well, unfortunately,
my wife did not receive any of that, because you know,
(07:33):
I'm not sure if I could take my wishing machine
out and turn myself into the perfect man that I
would want to do it. I mean, does that sound
like does that sound like the most fun person to
hang out with? I don't know. So anyway, here I
am working on my latest batch of homemade wine and
(07:54):
I thought to myself, you know, since I'm mixing up things,
this would be a great for me to attempt a
new version of the Genesis experiment. Now, I talked about
this early on on this podcast called Strange Things, episode
(08:14):
number twenty six, simply called the Genesis Experiment, and you know,
I would tell you exactly how I make my home wine.
But then I was thinking about you know, there, I
know they're underage people who listen to this, and sure
(08:35):
they can get online, they can figure out how to
make their own wine, so they can do that on
their own. I don't need to be the one to
tell them. And by the way, you should not do
that that I that is wrong. So I'm not going
to tell you how I make wine at home. But
what I will tell you is that well, one of
(08:56):
the things that you put in it is is yeast,
and yeast is a living organism. So let's see. If
you go directly to the definition of yeast, yeast are
single celled micro organisms classified as members of the fungus kingdom.
It says that there are at least fifteen hundred species.
(09:21):
They're actually really interesting because it's just a little it's
a little living blob. And if you put them in
a solution that's got sugar, then what you know, yeast
is just powder like you make bread with. You put
them in a bottle with powder, and excuse me, with
you put them in a You put the powder in
a bottle with sugar, and they consume the sugar over
(09:45):
time and then they excrete alcohol. So they these little
animals literally convert sugar into alcohol. That's the basic the
basis of how that process works. But those are living creatures.
Now I'm going to emphasize that because I thought, Okay,
(10:06):
what if I can take a sterile bottle of water,
and what if I can put some components in this
bottle that are absolutely not living at all, but would
form the building blocks of life. So just to quickly
recap for you. Years ago, I did the first Genesis
(10:31):
experiment at which I took a bottle of absolutely sterile
water used in the medical field, talking about a little
bottle like one hundred millimeters, and I put it on
a shelf. And I was in North Carolina at the time,
and I got online and I got on Coast to
coast AM and I said, I want everybody to think
(10:55):
about this bottle. And I put a picture of it
there with a GPS coordinates, and I said, I want
you to imagine life just spontaneously springing somehow into this liquid,
almost like we imagine that God may have just willed
or manifested human life into existence. What if we all
(11:18):
do that use our collective minds, our collective mind, and
then I open it and there's life in there that
should have never gotten in there. Wouldn't that be amazing? Okay,
we're up on our break, we'll come back. I'm gonna
tell you what happened and how this has turned into
my new idea for the new version of the Genesis
(11:41):
experiment that we are all gonna do right now. And
I think we have maybe have a really good chance
this time of creating life in this bottle. If we
all work together. Hey, do you like this shows? I

of thing, well, I hope that you'll supper work the show.

(12:47):
on the iHeartRadio and co to Coast am Paranormal podcast network,
and I will be right back. Welcome back to Strange
(13:30):
Things on the iHeart Radio and Coast to Coast A M.
Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, the Wizard of Weird,
Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your wormhole brand from my
studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada. Where every day
is golden and every night is silver. Getato zoo. In
(13:55):
the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth, and
the earth was without form and void, and darkness was
upon the face of the deep, and the spirit of
God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said,
(14:18):
let there be light, And there was light from there.
God just says, let this be, let that be. And
we always have this question like, well, all right now, No,
I'm not saying that you should or should not believe
(14:39):
that version of events, but it is interesting because you
have people would say, well, well, who created God? Well,
you're never going to answer that question. But if we
just take that moment in the Book of Genesis and
you think about the idea that you might somehow you
(15:00):
know that this being God could sort of just command
things into existence, and we are all creations, could enough
of us working together also create something, command something into
existence the same way that He created life in this
in this version of events in the Genesis, the book
(15:22):
of Genesis, and so I said to everybody, here's the
Genesis experiment. I got this little bottle of steril water.
It's completely sealed. There's no trace of life in here whatsoever.
Here is where it's located. Here's the GPS coordinates. Look
at it. I want everybody, and there are millions of people, literally,
(15:42):
because I was on coast to coast a m and
I said, listen, I want you all to look at
that bottle and just imagine. Just take ten seconds and
imagine life of some kind, any kind of life you
want to envision in there. And we're gonna do this
for I forget how long, a month or something, and
then I'm going to crack it open. We'll put it
(16:02):
under a microscope and see if there's anything in it.
So I opened it up after this period of time,
and there was nothing in it. It was completely sterile,
just as it was supposed to be. So we did
not create any life. Well, then, years later, I think
it was once I started doing this podcast Strange Things,
(16:23):
I said, let's try it again. So I duplicated the
experiment except out here in Las Vegas, and once again,
no life inside. So that's two failures. So It's like, no,
it doesn't look like we are collectively able to make
life spontaneously emerge inside of this bottle of water. But
(16:46):
then I started thinking, well, you know, here I am
brewing up my fermenting my home wine. And I thought, well,
what if we do the Genesis experiment one more time?
But this time I know it's gonna contaminate things a
little bit, but so be it. What if I crack
(17:06):
open the bottle and I put the building blocks of
life inside? Because if you look at DNA, and trust me,
I am no DNA scientists, So I'm just going to
I mean, I'm just a guy with the podcast. All right,
(17:27):
I may not be the smartest guy in the world,
but I did stay at a holiday in Express and
I figure, if you look at what they say, DNA
is the three building blocks of life. One part is
a phosphate group, which is basically from what I understand
as salt. The second is a sugar group. Well, we
(17:52):
all know what sugar is. And the third is some
form of nitrogen. Now, I'm not going to get into
why that mixing salt and sugar and nitrogen together might
somehow give us the ability to form DNA and therefore life.
I mean, I don't know, but that's what scientists say.
(18:13):
Those are the three building blocks of DNA as far
as I understand, some form of salt, sugar, and nitrogen,
and none of those things are living. And that's why
I wanted to point out earlier. This is not like
when you're fermenting wine, because you're pouring yeast in there,
which is a little microscopic living organism. In this particular case,
(18:37):
I can put sugar and salt and some nitrogen powder
inside this little bottle and seal it back up, and
there is still no life in there other than the
contamination of me opening it and you know whatever it's
being exposed to air, et cetera. So this is not
a perfect scientific experiment in some kind of like super
(18:57):
controlled sterile vacuum environment. But we're going to try this again.
I took two of these little bottles of water, steril
water one hundred millimeter, again the type used in the
medical field. And also it's well, it's not expired. Both
(19:18):
bottles are good, and I put an equal I open them,
put an equal amount of sugar, salt and nitrogen in
each one. One of them is a control and one
of them is our target for this experiment. So I
have a little area that's I keep kind of just
(19:40):
warm enough for my wine deferment, okay, because it does
get really cold out in the desert, as you may
or may not know. And so in one section of
this I put the control bottle and in the other
section I put our target bottle. And here's what I
(20:01):
want you to do. I want you to go look
at a picture of this bottle. I'm not gonna tell
you exactly where it is, but I don't think that
even matters, because if this works, we're transcending linear distance.
This is a quantum phenomenon that's transcending the boundaries of
space time. This is like a psychic focus. I want
(20:23):
you to look at this bottle, look at the picture
of it, and I want you to just take at
least ten seconds and think about life being inside, or
take longer and meditate and sit there and really get
into it. Maybe you are the type of person who
really wants to go an extra step, and you're gonna
print out a picture of it and draw something on it,
(20:45):
or save it to your phone and then draw something
on you. Just get as creative as you want to.
Here's what you do. Go to this website Strangethingspromo dot com,
Strange Things Promo p r O m O dot com.
It should also be okay if you go to the
(21:05):
plural Strange Things promos dot com. When you go to
that page, there's not a lot on it we have currently.
There ought to be maybe even a couple little discounts
for some things. But scroll down and you will see
where it says Genesis Experiment twenty twenty five. There is
(21:26):
a picture of this bottle and the target that we
are all going to focus on for at least ten seconds.
I hope that you will do that as soon as possible,
at least I mean sometime today. But if you can
do it, go right now and just just to make
sure you don't forget about it. And at some point
(21:49):
here in the near future, I guess probably when I
think my wine is going to be ready, it's going
to be an extra exciting day because not only am
I going to to rack and chill and taste my wine,
but that's also going to be the day then I
bust open this bottle of water that is sterile. It's
(22:13):
except for salt, sugar, and nitrogen and whatever I've done
to contaminate it, and we're going to see if there's
anything in there. And even though there's going to be
some contamination by opening this thing and during this experiment,
what if the activity in the target one is somehow
(22:34):
exceptional compared to the control version. You see, That's why
we have a control because they should basically look about
the same. And if the one that we are all
looking at it looks exceptionally more interesting, then I think
it may have to do with the fact that at
least we have now included the basic building blocks of
(22:55):
DNA in there. So that is the Genesis Experiment twenty
twenty five, and I hope, I hope we get something.
It's going to be very exciting for me to report
this to you, you know, when it comes to the
mystery of life. You know, we're talking about creating life.
(23:16):
But I saw just the other day a news story
in the BBC and they're saying, oh, we're one step
closer to all life on Earth ending because scientists have
moved the doomsday clock to its closest ever to destruction.
(23:40):
So okay, Doomsday clock move closest ever to destruction. That's
the headline, and here's what it says. Okay, let me
first off give you a little background on the doomsday clock.
You probably have heard about this. The doomsday clock is
a symbol that presents the estimated likelihood of a human
(24:03):
made global catastrophe. And it's made by these scientists, it
said the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists says, here of
the doomsday clock, symbolizing how near humanity is to destruction,
has been moved one second forward to eighty nine seconds
(24:25):
to midnight, the closest it has ever been. Uh, when
we get back, we'll talk a little bit more about
the doomsday clock and what what is this? I mean,
what should you how should you feel about hearing this?
We're closer than ever to destruction? And apparently there's a
(24:48):
new movie in the works, a biopic of the great
Art Bell, and I'm going to tell you about that.
And then, Oh, I have so many other interests things
we're gonna dig into. Never enough time on this show,
but I guess it's good to always keep you wanting more.
I'm Joshua Whipe Warren. You are listening to strange things
(25:10):
on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network,
and I'll be back after these important messages. Welcome back
(25:52):
to Strange Things have the iHeart Radio and Coast to
Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host, Joshua pe Warren,
and this is the show where the unusual becomes usual. Yes,
the dooms Day Clock. I'm sure you've heard about that.
(26:16):
The Doomsday Clock's origin can be traced to the international
group of researchers called the Chicago Atomic Scientists, who had
participated in the Manhattan Project. After the atomic bombings of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they began publishing a mimiographed newsletter and
(26:37):
then a magazine called Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist, which
since its inception has depicted the clock on every cover.
The clock was first represented in nineteen forty seven. Okay,
so basically they're saying, okay, it's a picture of a clock.
They sit around, they have discussions, and it's like the
(27:01):
hand on the clock, it's ticking closer to midnight, and
I guess midnight. Uh, It says the Bulletin's clock is
not e gauged to register the ups and downs of
the international power struggle. It is intended to reflect the
basic changes in the level of continuous danger in which
mankind lives in the nuclear age and goes on here
(27:26):
to say midnight has a deeper meaning besides the constant
threat of war. There are various elements taken into consideration
when the scientists from the bulletin decide what midnight and
global catastrophe really mean in a particular year. They might
(27:47):
include politics, energy, weapons, diplomacy, and climate science. Potential sources
of threat include nuclear threats, climate change, biotech, herosm and
artificial intelligence. So members of the board they judge Midnight
by discussing how close they think humanity is to the
(28:09):
end of civilization. And in nineteen forty seven, at the
beginning of the Cold War, the clock was started at
seven minutes to midnight. And now now they say we
are eighty nine seconds to midnight, the closest it has
(28:30):
ever been. Well, does that frighten you? You know what,
here's what I think about that. Look, for one thing,
there's no way that these scientists, some of the most
biased people I've ever met in my entire life, are
bonafide diploma carrying scientists. So just because somebody says I'm
(28:52):
a scientist, that does not mean that person. It does
not let a lot of emotions and and and you know,
personal biases and things like that reflect how they feel
about things. So this to me seems more more like, oh,
it's I mean, it's interesting to see how this particular
(29:14):
group of scientists feels, and it's a it's a cool
way of of them expressing themselves. But like, here's the reality.
Nuclear bombs are not going anywhere. That's not gonna happen even.
I mean, it's possible that at some point one one
country will acquire all of the nuclear bombs and take
(29:36):
them away from everybody else. But nuclear bombs are not
going anywhere, and so someday are all of the nuclear
bombs going to go off and that's the end of us? Maybe,
I mean probably, but who knows how how far into
the future that may be. It's it's like when they say,
(29:58):
you know, when the big earthquake's gonna hit, or when
the big volcano is gonna blow. So I don't think
it's I mean, to me, I hate to be this
flippant about it, but it might not have that much
more meaning than Puck Satawani, Phil the groundhog seeing his
shadow once a year to predict whether or not there's
(30:19):
gonna be a longer winter or so on. And I mean,
I just feel like that. Again, it's interesting, it's a
way for them to get attention and express their opinion.
But honestly, if you're gonna take this seriously, then you
may as well just keep pushing it up to midnight,
because I mean, it's like, eventually something's gonna happen. We
(30:41):
know how this story ends. Eventually, something bad's gonna happen,
So don't worry about that. Listen to this, says here
on Coast to coastam dot com. The remarkable life story
of Coast to Coast AM creator Art Bell may soon
be coming to the silver screen by way of a
biopic starring Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti. The percolating film project,
(31:05):
set to be directed by Matt Matt Bettinelly Othan, I
Don't know who that is, and Tyler Gillette of the
acclaimed creative collective radio Silence, has reportedly already drawn interest
from Amazon and Warner Brothers. Credited with spearheading the movie
are producers Sophie Cassidy and Jeff Katz, who was a
(31:30):
longtime fan of the late paranormal radio legend mister Art Bell.
While the biopic is still an in nascent stage, the
prospects of the movie coming to Fruition look promising, with
Giamatti being a particularly apt choice to play the beloved
Art Bell as the actor co host of podcast wherein
(31:51):
he also explores all manner of high strangeness. I like
Paul Giamatti. I especially was a fan of his because
of the John Adams series on HBO. But he's played
a lot of great roles. He's a fantastic actor. I remember,
you know, speaking of radio. You know he played I
(32:12):
guess what was a pig vomit or whatever in the
Howard Stern movie Private Parts. I'm not sure that I
can quite see him as Art Bell. I mean, there's
a little bit of that there, but I haven't taken
the time to look more deeply into this. So I
want to do some research on who these filmmakers and
producers are and get a better feel on it. But
(32:35):
I wonder, I wonder if this actually happens, if they
will include Carville the alien. Art Bell's wooden alien statue
that would supposedly come to life at night, which now
resides at my house. Wouldn't that be something if Carvill
(32:59):
makes it into the movie. So I'll keep you updated
on that. Let's go to some emails. There is one Okay,
I I did a show, and I'm trying to see, Okay,
which number of the show was, but it hit a
(33:20):
nerve with a lot of people. It was about psychic vampires,
and I think it was episode two twenty five. Yes,
episode two twenty five of this podcast called be Careful
about Accepting gifts Psychic Vampires. And I got just a
(33:42):
huge amount of feedback from that, and with you know,
you can imagine, I was giving tips on how you
might tell whether or not you have a psychic vampire
in your house or your in your life. A lot
of people loved it, but there were also a lot
of people who who just hated the concept and were
(34:03):
attacking me for even bringing this up. And I was like, oh,
you guys are psychic vampires when you go after when
you say I'm gonna do a show after psychic vampires,
and all of a sudden a lot of people start
attacking you over it. Yeah, those are the psychic vampires.
I drew them out of the woodwork. But you know.
That's okay. Let me just I did get a lot
(34:29):
of very interesting questions, so let me just give you
one example of an interesting question. A guy named Jason
wrote me and listener Jason, He wrote, Joshua, aren't we
all psychic vampires to one extent or another? What are
your thoughts on this? Well? You know, I get over
(34:49):
one hundred emails a day and I try to get
back to people what I can, So I just wrote
right back one line. I was like, or yeah a
few I said no, some people make you feel energized
and others make you feel drained. That was my response,
And then he wrote this back. He says, that is
(35:11):
still a consumption of energy, for lack of a better word,
I also understand the term vampire, but feel that its
usage here has a lot of loose ends. For instance,
a depressed person goes out to find solace in people
of an upbringing nature to alter their energy. The non
(35:33):
depressed people will typically feel drained by the presence of
the depressed person. So this depressed person was a seeker
of a different energy and went to consume it. The
thing I see here is the motivation behind seeking this energy.
Whereas our psychic vampire would be depleting a person not
(35:53):
out of need, but just because that's their intentions towards
the other person to soak up that one's multiple energies.
And then he says, I believe I may have just
answered my own question. Now, granted, folks, that was a
little confusing to me, but nonetheless, I mean, maybe that
made more sense to you than it did to me.
But then he goes on to say, now, I believe
(36:15):
the question would be how to distinguish a person that
really needs the energy versus a person that is just
depleting set energy for no purpose but just to do it.
Similar flags on both behalves. One just does it to
(36:36):
do it and the other actually needs it, So how
would we distinguish one from the other. In the moment, thanks,
and you're an awesome person for just responding back. Well,
that's very nice for you to say that, Jason, and
I appreciate it. So I said, you know what, I'm
going to answer this question on an upcoming show, and
so we're coming up on a break. When we come back,
(37:00):
I'm going to give an answer. And also I think
kind of a final summary of what I'm talking about
when it comes to this whole psychic vampire thing. You know,
maybe I need to put a better point on it
to show you what exactly I mean. And then I think,
I think I might just get into a story about
(37:24):
the Locke ness Monster. I haven't talked about NeSSI in
a while. I'm Joshua Pee Warren. You're listening to Strange
Things All on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will be right back. Welcome
(38:15):
back to the final segment of this edition of Strange
Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal
Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren, And
I told the listener Jason I would answer his question
on the show, and he said, no problem, brother, and
(38:37):
thank you for being you. Well, see, Jason seems to
be a very nice person. I started to say, if
you don't know who the psychic vampire is, it's you.
But no, no, that that necessarily is not true. Okay,
(38:58):
So seriously, here's how I feel about that. It's true
that anybody can feed upon anybody. Okay, we can all
feed upon each other, either consciously or subconsciously, even psychic
vampires are fed upon by other psychic vampires, so you
can only classify a psychic vampire from your own individual,
(39:21):
subjective point of view. And in my podcast on this topic,
episode two twenty five, I gave a specific list of
behaviors that you can look for in someone who might
be a psychic vampire feeding on you. So I advise
everyone listening to go back and listen to that list
(39:41):
if you're interested. Now, one of the things a psychic
vampire does is hound you with questions all the time.
So I have friends who drive me nuts with too
many questions. They're still my friends, and I don't think
they're bad people, but I do believe they tend to
(40:02):
be psychic vampires, and I limit my exposure to them
because they drain me. But ultimately, there is no all
seeing authority who is going to objectively designate someone as
psychic vampires. So again, it is a subjective topic. And therefore,
(40:23):
since this is a podcast, I've given you my outlook
on the situation from your point of view, and that's
what's important. From your point of view, think about how
some people consistently make you feel energized and others consistently
make you feel drained, and so you can decide who
(40:43):
the vampires might be in your own life. And I
think that's the best way that I can that I
can sum that up. Honestly. I was looking the other
day back through some of the stories from one of
the favorite, my favorite books I've ever produced. It's called
(41:04):
Amazing Happy Endings True Stories to Make You Smile. And
I actually compiled this book of true stories. I even
read the audiobook version of it. The website is Amazinghappy
Endings dot com. And I asked people to send me stories,
(41:26):
and I said that you know, the story must be true,
must be short, and it must be kind of amazing
and have a happy ending. And I thought this one
was one that I would revisit. Sent to me from
Ashley Barnes. I actually met Ashley at least once. She
came to an event here in Vegas. Very very nice, insightful,
(41:51):
warm person. I think she's got some special some special
magical powers. She wrote this about that experience she had
based out of Georgia here in the USA in twenty twelve.
She said, I had been fascinated with the Lockness Monster
in Scotland since reading about it in my third grade
language arts class. It was my childhood dream to go
(42:14):
to Lockness and search for NeSSI my parents were not
interested and were very apprehensive about going overseas, so I
planned it to be a solo trip. In my twenties,
every bit of money I received as a Christmas or
Birthday present was saved over the years in an envelope
marked Scotland and kept in a safety deposit box. At
(42:39):
age nineteen, I was diagnosed with the epstein bar virus
and monoonucleosis and was bedridden for six weeks. I never
fully recovered, and two years later I was then diagnosed
with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibroma algia. This was a
(43:02):
major setback in my independence, and my trip to Scotland
got pushed even further into my future as I tried
to survive and attempt to just live a normal life.
In twenty twelve, after struggling to find a job post
college graduation, I was hired at an electric corporation in Duluth, Georgia.
(43:26):
There was another new hire that sat next to me
during the orientation who was about my father's age with
a very familiar accent. He was from Scotland. I spoke
with him briefly about my childhood dream and my health difficulties.
We worked on completely different sides of the building and
(43:46):
in different departments. Our paths would have never crossed had
we not gone through New Higher Orientation together. A few
years later, I was healthier and ready to start planning
my Soulo trip to Lockness. Traveling alone would prove very
difficult with my illness. I saw my New Hire Orientation
(44:08):
friend in the break room one day and I told
him about my plans. I told him I was thinking
about flying into Inverness, which is the closest airport to Lockness,
no more than a thirty minute drive away, and he
informed me that his mom and sister lived in Inverness
and I could rent a visitor's flat at his mother's
(44:29):
retirement community apartment complex, and then I would have a
mother and grandmother figure nearby to host me if I
needed anything. A few months later, A few months later,
I was at my favorite bar in Nashville, Tennessee, celebrating
my birthday and there was a girl about my age
(44:52):
who was alone. She stood next to me by the
stage and we bonded, singing a few songs together. She
even try to set me up with the guitarist in
the band. When we spoke, I could tell she had
an odd accent and asked where she was from. She
said she was from the UK. I told her I
(45:14):
was going to Inverness in Scotland that coming summer, and
she told me that's where she currently lived. We connected
via social media and she ended up being the person
who greeted me at the Inverness airport upon my arrival.
(45:36):
The Higher power God lined up my childhood dream trip perfectly,
with the grandmother, mother and a girlfriend to host me
and guide me as I traveled alone. When something is
meant to be, the stars truly line up. My three
(45:56):
weeks stay was beyond what words could just. Realizing my
childhood dream was one of the most fulfilling accomplishments I've
ever experienced. Traveling solo internationally was a major step out
of my comfort zone and into my independence and adulthood.
Having a safety net of three trustworthy women and Inverness
(46:20):
meant the world to me, but still allowed me to
spread my wings. Oh and if you're wondering if I
got a glimpse of the Lockness monster, well let's just
say I got what I wanted don't you love stories
(46:42):
like that where all the pieces fall into place, everything
comes together in a manner that's too much for mere coincidence.
When you want something and you set your mind to
it and your patient, you might not get it exactly
when you want it, but if you're serious enough about it,
you can manifest it. Thank you for that story. Actually,
(47:06):
go if you haven't read this book, folks, go to
Amazinghappy Endings dot com. You can get it for next
to nothing on Amazon. Listen to the audiobook on Audible.
I'm gonna see if I can squeeze In an email,
I got here real quick from Amanda, who wrote to
me about the Grabavoy codes. I recently did a podcast
(47:27):
about those. These are numbers that you can meditate on
that might help you manifest things, she says, Joshua, after
your episode. I ordered the book on the codes and
tried the one for Unexpected Money a few weeks ago.
Today in the mail, I received a check for thirty
five dollars and fifty eight cents from an insurance company
(47:48):
for a car that was totaled six years ago. It
gave me quite a chuckle to see the code in action.
Thanks again, Amanda, and that's great, Amanda, that you have
that attitude. You know, even though it was only thirty
five dollars and fifty eight cents, I mean, it was
unexpected money and you experimented with it and now you
(48:10):
can be like, hmmm, let me let me take this
up a notch. You got to do these things and
baby steps. Well, we've covered a lot in this program
as usual, so now let us all meditate together on
bringing good luck to all of us listening. We want
to make your next week the best week ever. So
(48:32):
if you can close your eyes regardless, take some deep breaths,
and let us all listen to the one, the only,
the true, original good fortune tone. Deep breath, Ah, here
it is. That's it for this edition of the show.

(01:18):

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Help Me Create Life in a Bottle Genesis Experiment twenty
twenty five. This is It's something I've attempted a couple
of times before, but this time it's going to be different.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I'll fill you in shortly. This is kind of my
own miniature version of being doctor Frankenstein, And if it
ever succeeds, this experiment would be profound. If you actually
have met me and hung out with me in person,
(02:03):
there's a good chance that at some point we shared
a cocktail. I was born in Asheville, North Carolina, which
is full of so many micro breweries it often is
called beer city. And so I had no no shortage
of that growing up, not to mention, you know, all
(02:24):
the moonshining that was happening in them there hills. And
then when I became, you know, a much much older fella,
I moved to Puerto Rico for a while, which is
the rum capital of the world. So I had my
share of of Well I was gonna say rum and cokes,
(02:45):
but take your pick. I mean I I had such
a wide array. I mean, that's where the Bacardi factory is,
and you could mix up just about any anything you want.
And now now I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, which
I mean you can't go anywhere here without there being
alcohol available twenty four seven. And I've said before in
(03:09):
the you know, when I lived in North Carolina, sometimes
I would go to a bar and order a beer
and occasionally, and this is years ago, but I would say,
you know what, let me have a shot with a beer.
That's not an uncommon thing. I think people call that
a boiler maker, where you have a beer with a
(03:30):
shot of whiskey or something like that. And they'd be like, oh, no, no, no,
I'm sorry, that's against the law. We can only serve
one drink at a time. That would be like serving
you two drinks. I mean, so that's sort of how
it was for me growing up and I here in Vegas.
I remember one time I was at a bar and
I ordered a shot of tequila and the bartender said, well,
(03:51):
you know, we have a special going on. You can
get five shots for eight dogs. So it's totally different
mentality here. You gotta be careful to take care of
yourself because the funny thing is, despite the availability of
alcohol here, one of the things that I do for
fun occasionally is ferment my own wine here at my house.
(04:17):
And I do that, and I've done this off and
on for years, because well, I mean, it's it's the
closest thing to chemistry. I guess I dabble with these days,
but I like the fact that, you know, you can
sort of play with different flavors and you can you
can even tweak the alcohol content. And I mean it's
(04:39):
to me, it's fun, I think most of all because
you may have heard that I am a lover of mystery.
And so when you when you put your ingredients into
your your your jugs there, you have to wait at
least a few weeks depending on what you're making, before
it's going to be U ready to drink. And you
(05:02):
just never know how it's going to turn out. And
every single time it's going to be a little different
when you're doing it at home like that. And so
I have had not made a batch of home wine
in quite a while since I moved into my new
house over two and a half years ago. So I
finally decided I wanted to go ahead and get around
(05:22):
to it. So as I was sitting there working on this,
I was thinking also, by the way, you know, even
though as I'm getting older, I mean, I'm trying to
be a much healthier guy. I really am, But the
fact of the matter is I've never been the healthiest guy.
(05:44):
I was telling the other day, I said to my
beautiful wife Lauren, Lauren, I would like to use a
wishing machine or something similar and get up one day
and say, look, congratulations, I am changing all my ways.
(06:05):
You've got the perfect healthy man. I never again am
going to drink or smoke or eat fast food. I'm
only going to eat fish, ethically sourced veggies, and I
feel sorry for that poor grilled fish. God rest his soul.
I'm gonna work out every day starting at five thirty am.
(06:27):
First weights, then cardio. I'll run several miles as I
meditate and praise the universe. Then I'll shower and shave
up and maybe even rub a little oil and lotion
here or there. I'll never curse again. I'll only listen
to positive and uplifting songs and podcasts and messages that
(06:49):
will motivate and elevate my success and our relationship. I'll
look in the mirror and smile at myself and remind
myself that I love myself, and I love every single
day on this magical planet. And I feel this entire
experience is a beautiful, blessing array of light. And I
will embrace sheer positivity every moment under this majestic sun
(07:12):
and moon and all those twinkling, giggling stars on this incredible,
miraculous journey of life, I will be the perfect man. Well, unfortunately,
my wife did not receive any of that, because you know,
(07:33):
I'm not sure if I could take my wishing machine
out and turn myself into the perfect man that I
would want to do it. I mean, does that sound
like does that sound like the most fun person to
hang out with? I don't know. So anyway, here I
am working on my latest batch of homemade wine and
(07:54):
I thought to myself, you know, since I'm mixing up things,
this would be a great for me to attempt a
new version of the Genesis experiment. Now, I talked about
this early on on this podcast called Strange Things, episode
(08:14):
number twenty six, simply called the Genesis Experiment, and you know,
I would tell you exactly how I make my home wine.
But then I was thinking about you know, there, I
know they're underage people who listen to this, and sure
(08:35):
they can get online, they can figure out how to
make their own wine, so they can do that on
their own. I don't need to be the one to
tell them. And by the way, you should not do
that that I that is wrong. So I'm not going
to tell you how I make wine at home. But
what I will tell you is that well, one of
(08:56):
the things that you put in it is is yeast,
and yeast is a living organism. So let's see. If
you go directly to the definition of yeast, yeast are
single celled micro organisms classified as members of the fungus kingdom.
It says that there are at least fifteen hundred species.
(09:21):
They're actually really interesting because it's just a little it's
a little living blob. And if you put them in
a solution that's got sugar, then what you know, yeast
is just powder like you make bread with. You put
them in a bottle with powder, and excuse me, with
you put them in a You put the powder in
a bottle with sugar, and they consume the sugar over
(09:45):
time and then they excrete alcohol. So they these little
animals literally convert sugar into alcohol. That's the basic the
basis of how that process works. But those are living creatures.
Now I'm going to emphasize that because I thought, Okay,
(10:06):
what if I can take a sterile bottle of water,
and what if I can put some components in this
bottle that are absolutely not living at all, but would
form the building blocks of life. So just to quickly
recap for you. Years ago, I did the first Genesis
(10:31):
experiment at which I took a bottle of absolutely sterile
water used in the medical field, talking about a little
bottle like one hundred millimeters, and I put it on
a shelf. And I was in North Carolina at the time,
and I got online and I got on Coast to
coast AM and I said, I want everybody to think
(10:55):
about this bottle. And I put a picture of it
there with a GPS coordinates, and I said, I want
you to imagine life just spontaneously springing somehow into this liquid,
almost like we imagine that God may have just willed
or manifested human life into existence. What if we all
(11:18):
do that use our collective minds, our collective mind, and
then I open it and there's life in there that
should have never gotten in there. Wouldn't that be amazing? Okay,
we're up on our break, we'll come back. I'm gonna
tell you what happened and how this has turned into
my new idea for the new version of the Genesis
(11:41):
experiment that we are all gonna do right now. And
I think we have maybe have a really good chance
this time of creating life in this bottle. If we
all work together. Hey, do you like this shows? I
know it's out there, but if you enjoy that kind
of thing, well, I hope that you'll supper work the show.

(12:47):
on the iHeartRadio and co to Coast am Paranormal podcast network,
and I will be right back. Welcome back to Strange
(13:30):
Things on the iHeart Radio and Coast to Coast A M.
Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, the Wizard of Weird,
Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your wormhole brand from my
studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada. Where every day
is golden and every night is silver. Getato zoo. In
(13:55):
the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth, and
the earth was without form and void, and darkness was
upon the face of the deep, and the spirit of
God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said,
(14:18):
let there be light, And there was light from there.
God just says, let this be, let that be. And
we always have this question like, well, all right now, No,
I'm not saying that you should or should not believe
(14:39):
that version of events, but it is interesting because you
have people would say, well, well, who created God? Well,
you're never going to answer that question. But if we
just take that moment in the Book of Genesis and
you think about the idea that you might somehow you
(15:00):
know that this being God could sort of just command
things into existence, and we are all creations, could enough
of us working together also create something, command something into
existence the same way that He created life in this
in this version of events in the Genesis, the book
(15:22):
of Genesis, and so I said to everybody, here's the
Genesis experiment. I got this little bottle of steril water.
It's completely sealed. There's no trace of life in here whatsoever.
Here is where it's located. Here's the GPS coordinates. Look
at it. I want everybody, and there are millions of people, literally,
(15:42):
because I was on coast to coast a m and
I said, listen, I want you all to look at
that bottle and just imagine. Just take ten seconds and
imagine life of some kind, any kind of life you
want to envision in there. And we're gonna do this
for I forget how long, a month or something, and
then I'm going to crack it open. We'll put it
(16:02):
under a microscope and see if there's anything in it.
So I opened it up after this period of time,
and there was nothing in it. It was completely sterile,
just as it was supposed to be. So we did
not create any life. Well, then, years later, I think
it was once I started doing this podcast Strange Things,
(16:23):
I said, let's try it again. So I duplicated the
experiment except out here in Las Vegas, and once again,
no life inside. So that's two failures. So It's like, no,
it doesn't look like we are collectively able to make
life spontaneously emerge inside of this bottle of water. But
(16:46):
then I started thinking, well, you know, here I am
brewing up my fermenting my home wine. And I thought, well,
what if we do the Genesis experiment one more time?
But this time I know it's gonna contaminate things a
little bit, but so be it. What if I crack
(17:06):
open the bottle and I put the building blocks of
life inside? Because if you look at DNA, and trust me,
I am no DNA scientists, So I'm just going to
I mean, I'm just a guy with the podcast. All right,
(17:27):
I may not be the smartest guy in the world,
but I did stay at a holiday in Express and
I figure, if you look at what they say, DNA
is the three building blocks of life. One part is
a phosphate group, which is basically from what I understand
as salt. The second is a sugar group. Well, we
(17:52):
all know what sugar is. And the third is some
form of nitrogen. Now, I'm not going to get into
why that mixing salt and sugar and nitrogen together might
somehow give us the ability to form DNA and therefore life.
I mean, I don't know, but that's what scientists say.
(18:13):
Those are the three building blocks of DNA as far
as I understand, some form of salt, sugar, and nitrogen,
and none of those things are living. And that's why
I wanted to point out earlier. This is not like
when you're fermenting wine, because you're pouring yeast in there,
which is a little microscopic living organism. In this particular case,
(18:37):
I can put sugar and salt and some nitrogen powder
inside this little bottle and seal it back up, and
there is still no life in there other than the
contamination of me opening it and you know whatever it's
being exposed to air, et cetera. So this is not
a perfect scientific experiment in some kind of like super
(18:57):
controlled sterile vacuum environment. But we're going to try this again.
I took two of these little bottles of water, steril
water one hundred millimeter, again the type used in the
medical field. And also it's well, it's not expired. Both
(19:18):
bottles are good, and I put an equal I open them,
put an equal amount of sugar, salt and nitrogen in
each one. One of them is a control and one
of them is our target for this experiment. So I
have a little area that's I keep kind of just
(19:40):
warm enough for my wine deferment, okay, because it does
get really cold out in the desert, as you may
or may not know. And so in one section of
this I put the control bottle and in the other
section I put our target bottle. And here's what I
(20:01):
want you to do. I want you to go look
at a picture of this bottle. I'm not gonna tell
you exactly where it is, but I don't think that
even matters, because if this works, we're transcending linear distance.
This is a quantum phenomenon that's transcending the boundaries of
space time. This is like a psychic focus. I want
(20:23):
you to look at this bottle, look at the picture
of it, and I want you to just take at
least ten seconds and think about life being inside, or
take longer and meditate and sit there and really get
into it. Maybe you are the type of person who
really wants to go an extra step, and you're gonna
print out a picture of it and draw something on it,
(20:45):
or save it to your phone and then draw something
on you. Just get as creative as you want to.
Here's what you do. Go to this website Strangethingspromo dot com,
Strange Things Promo p r O m O dot com.
It should also be okay if you go to the
(21:05):
plural Strange Things promos dot com. When you go to
that page, there's not a lot on it we have currently.
There ought to be maybe even a couple little discounts
for some things. But scroll down and you will see
where it says Genesis Experiment twenty twenty five. There is
(21:26):
a picture of this bottle and the target that we
are all going to focus on for at least ten seconds.
I hope that you will do that as soon as possible,
at least I mean sometime today. But if you can
do it, go right now and just just to make
sure you don't forget about it. And at some point
(21:49):
here in the near future, I guess probably when I
think my wine is going to be ready, it's going
to be an extra exciting day because not only am
I going to to rack and chill and taste my wine,
but that's also going to be the day then I
bust open this bottle of water that is sterile. It's
(22:13):
except for salt, sugar, and nitrogen and whatever I've done
to contaminate it, and we're going to see if there's
anything in there. And even though there's going to be
some contamination by opening this thing and during this experiment,
what if the activity in the target one is somehow
(22:34):
exceptional compared to the control version. You see, That's why
we have a control because they should basically look about
the same. And if the one that we are all
looking at it looks exceptionally more interesting, then I think
it may have to do with the fact that at
least we have now included the basic building blocks of
(22:55):
DNA in there. So that is the Genesis Experiment twenty
twenty five, and I hope, I hope we get something.
It's going to be very exciting for me to report
this to you, you know, when it comes to the
mystery of life. You know, we're talking about creating life.
(23:16):
But I saw just the other day a news story
in the BBC and they're saying, oh, we're one step
closer to all life on Earth ending because scientists have
moved the doomsday clock to its closest ever to destruction.
(23:40):
So okay, Doomsday clock move closest ever to destruction. That's
the headline, and here's what it says. Okay, let me
first off give you a little background on the doomsday clock.
You probably have heard about this. The doomsday clock is
a symbol that presents the estimated likelihood of a human
(24:03):
made global catastrophe. And it's made by these scientists, it
said the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists says, here of
the doomsday clock, symbolizing how near humanity is to destruction,
has been moved one second forward to eighty nine seconds
(24:25):
to midnight, the closest it has ever been. Uh, when
we get back, we'll talk a little bit more about
the doomsday clock and what what is this? I mean,
what should you how should you feel about hearing this?
We're closer than ever to destruction? And apparently there's a
(24:48):
new movie in the works, a biopic of the great
Art Bell, and I'm going to tell you about that.
And then, Oh, I have so many other interests things
we're gonna dig into. Never enough time on this show,
but I guess it's good to always keep you wanting more.
I'm Joshua Whipe Warren. You are listening to strange things
(25:10):
on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network,
and I'll be back after these important messages. Welcome back
(25:52):
to Strange Things have the iHeart Radio and Coast to
Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host, Joshua pe Warren,
and this is the show where the unusual becomes usual. Yes,
the dooms Day Clock. I'm sure you've heard about that.
(26:16):
The Doomsday Clock's origin can be traced to the international
group of researchers called the Chicago Atomic Scientists, who had
participated in the Manhattan Project. After the atomic bombings of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they began publishing a mimiographed newsletter and
(26:37):
then a magazine called Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist, which
since its inception has depicted the clock on every cover.
The clock was first represented in nineteen forty seven. Okay,
so basically they're saying, okay, it's a picture of a clock.
They sit around, they have discussions, and it's like the
(27:01):
hand on the clock, it's ticking closer to midnight, and
I guess midnight. Uh, It says the Bulletin's clock is
not e gauged to register the ups and downs of
the international power struggle. It is intended to reflect the
basic changes in the level of continuous danger in which
mankind lives in the nuclear age and goes on here
(27:26):
to say midnight has a deeper meaning besides the constant
threat of war. There are various elements taken into consideration
when the scientists from the bulletin decide what midnight and
global catastrophe really mean in a particular year. They might
(27:47):
include politics, energy, weapons, diplomacy, and climate science. Potential sources
of threat include nuclear threats, climate change, biotech, herosm and
artificial intelligence. So members of the board they judge Midnight
by discussing how close they think humanity is to the
(28:09):
end of civilization. And in nineteen forty seven, at the
beginning of the Cold War, the clock was started at
seven minutes to midnight. And now now they say we
are eighty nine seconds to midnight, the closest it has
(28:30):
ever been. Well, does that frighten you? You know what,
here's what I think about that. Look, for one thing,
there's no way that these scientists, some of the most
biased people I've ever met in my entire life, are
bonafide diploma carrying scientists. So just because somebody says I'm
(28:52):
a scientist, that does not mean that person. It does
not let a lot of emotions and and and you know,
personal biases and things like that reflect how they feel
about things. So this to me seems more more like, oh,
it's I mean, it's interesting to see how this particular
(29:14):
group of scientists feels, and it's a it's a cool
way of of them expressing themselves. But like, here's the reality.
Nuclear bombs are not going anywhere. That's not gonna happen even.
I mean, it's possible that at some point one one
country will acquire all of the nuclear bombs and take
(29:36):
them away from everybody else. But nuclear bombs are not
going anywhere, and so someday are all of the nuclear
bombs going to go off and that's the end of us? Maybe,
I mean probably, but who knows how how far into
the future that may be. It's it's like when they say,
(29:58):
you know, when the big earthquake's gonna hit, or when
the big volcano is gonna blow. So I don't think
it's I mean, to me, I hate to be this
flippant about it, but it might not have that much
more meaning than Puck Satawani, Phil the groundhog seeing his
shadow once a year to predict whether or not there's
(30:19):
gonna be a longer winter or so on. And I mean,
I just feel like that. Again, it's interesting, it's a
way for them to get attention and express their opinion.
But honestly, if you're gonna take this seriously, then you
may as well just keep pushing it up to midnight,
because I mean, it's like, eventually something's gonna happen. We
(30:41):
know how this story ends. Eventually, something bad's gonna happen,
So don't worry about that. Listen to this, says here
on Coast to coastam dot com. The remarkable life story
of Coast to Coast AM creator Art Bell may soon
be coming to the silver screen by way of a
biopic starring Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti. The percolating film project,
(31:05):
set to be directed by Matt Matt Bettinelly Othan, I
Don't know who that is, and Tyler Gillette of the
acclaimed creative collective radio Silence, has reportedly already drawn interest
from Amazon and Warner Brothers. Credited with spearheading the movie
are producers Sophie Cassidy and Jeff Katz, who was a
(31:30):
longtime fan of the late paranormal radio legend mister Art Bell.
While the biopic is still an in nascent stage, the
prospects of the movie coming to Fruition look promising, with
Giamatti being a particularly apt choice to play the beloved
Art Bell as the actor co host of podcast wherein
(31:51):
he also explores all manner of high strangeness. I like
Paul Giamatti. I especially was a fan of his because
of the John Adams series on HBO. But he's played
a lot of great roles. He's a fantastic actor. I remember,
you know, speaking of radio. You know he played I
(32:12):
guess what was a pig vomit or whatever in the
Howard Stern movie Private Parts. I'm not sure that I
can quite see him as Art Bell. I mean, there's
a little bit of that there, but I haven't taken
the time to look more deeply into this. So I
want to do some research on who these filmmakers and
producers are and get a better feel on it. But
(32:35):
I wonder, I wonder if this actually happens, if they
will include Carville the alien. Art Bell's wooden alien statue
that would supposedly come to life at night, which now
resides at my house. Wouldn't that be something if Carvill
(32:59):
makes it into the movie. So I'll keep you updated
on that. Let's go to some emails. There is one Okay,
I I did a show, and I'm trying to see, Okay,
which number of the show was, but it hit a
(33:20):
nerve with a lot of people. It was about psychic vampires,
and I think it was episode two twenty five. Yes,
episode two twenty five of this podcast called be Careful
about Accepting gifts Psychic Vampires. And I got just a
(33:42):
huge amount of feedback from that, and with you know,
you can imagine, I was giving tips on how you
might tell whether or not you have a psychic vampire
in your house or your in your life. A lot
of people loved it, but there were also a lot
of people who who just hated the concept and were
(34:03):
attacking me for even bringing this up. And I was like, oh,
you guys are psychic vampires when you go after when
you say I'm gonna do a show after psychic vampires,
and all of a sudden a lot of people start
attacking you over it. Yeah, those are the psychic vampires.
I drew them out of the woodwork. But you know.
That's okay. Let me just I did get a lot
(34:29):
of very interesting questions, so let me just give you
one example of an interesting question. A guy named Jason
wrote me and listener Jason, He wrote, Joshua, aren't we
all psychic vampires to one extent or another? What are
your thoughts on this? Well? You know, I get over
(34:49):
one hundred emails a day and I try to get
back to people what I can, So I just wrote
right back one line. I was like, or yeah a
few I said no, some people make you feel energized
and others make you feel drained. That was my response,
And then he wrote this back. He says, that is
(35:11):
still a consumption of energy, for lack of a better word,
I also understand the term vampire, but feel that its
usage here has a lot of loose ends. For instance,
a depressed person goes out to find solace in people
of an upbringing nature to alter their energy. The non
(35:33):
depressed people will typically feel drained by the presence of
the depressed person. So this depressed person was a seeker
of a different energy and went to consume it. The
thing I see here is the motivation behind seeking this energy.
Whereas our psychic vampire would be depleting a person not
(35:53):
out of need, but just because that's their intentions towards
the other person to soak up that one's multiple energies.
And then he says, I believe I may have just
answered my own question. Now, granted, folks, that was a
little confusing to me, but nonetheless, I mean, maybe that
made more sense to you than it did to me.
But then he goes on to say, now, I believe
(36:15):
the question would be how to distinguish a person that
really needs the energy versus a person that is just
depleting set energy for no purpose but just to do it.
Similar flags on both behalves. One just does it to
(36:36):
do it and the other actually needs it, So how
would we distinguish one from the other. In the moment, thanks,
and you're an awesome person for just responding back. Well,
that's very nice for you to say that, Jason, and
I appreciate it. So I said, you know what, I'm
going to answer this question on an upcoming show, and
so we're coming up on a break. When we come back,
(37:00):
I'm going to give an answer. And also I think
kind of a final summary of what I'm talking about
when it comes to this whole psychic vampire thing. You know,
maybe I need to put a better point on it
to show you what exactly I mean. And then I think,
I think I might just get into a story about
(37:24):
the Locke ness Monster. I haven't talked about NeSSI in
a while. I'm Joshua Pee Warren. You're listening to Strange
Things All on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will be right back. Welcome
(38:15):
back to the final segment of this edition of Strange
Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal
Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren, And
I told the listener Jason I would answer his question
on the show, and he said, no problem, brother, and
(38:37):
thank you for being you. Well, see, Jason seems to
be a very nice person. I started to say, if
you don't know who the psychic vampire is, it's you.
But no, no, that that necessarily is not true. Okay,
(38:58):
So seriously, here's how I feel about that. It's true
that anybody can feed upon anybody. Okay, we can all
feed upon each other, either consciously or subconsciously, even psychic
vampires are fed upon by other psychic vampires, so you
can only classify a psychic vampire from your own individual,
(39:21):
subjective point of view. And in my podcast on this topic,
episode two twenty five, I gave a specific list of
behaviors that you can look for in someone who might
be a psychic vampire feeding on you. So I advise
everyone listening to go back and listen to that list
(39:41):
if you're interested. Now, one of the things a psychic
vampire does is hound you with questions all the time.
So I have friends who drive me nuts with too
many questions. They're still my friends, and I don't think
they're bad people, but I do believe they tend to
(40:02):
be psychic vampires, and I limit my exposure to them
because they drain me. But ultimately, there is no all
seeing authority who is going to objectively designate someone as
psychic vampires. So again, it is a subjective topic. And therefore,
(40:23):
since this is a podcast, I've given you my outlook
on the situation from your point of view, and that's
what's important. From your point of view, think about how
some people consistently make you feel energized and others consistently
make you feel drained, and so you can decide who
(40:43):
the vampires might be in your own life. And I
think that's the best way that I can that I
can sum that up. Honestly. I was looking the other
day back through some of the stories from one of
the favorite, my favorite books I've ever produced. It's called
(41:04):
Amazing Happy Endings True Stories to Make You Smile. And
I actually compiled this book of true stories. I even
read the audiobook version of it. The website is Amazinghappy
Endings dot com. And I asked people to send me stories,
(41:26):
and I said that you know, the story must be true,
must be short, and it must be kind of amazing
and have a happy ending. And I thought this one
was one that I would revisit. Sent to me from
Ashley Barnes. I actually met Ashley at least once. She
came to an event here in Vegas. Very very nice, insightful,
(41:51):
warm person. I think she's got some special some special
magical powers. She wrote this about that experience she had
based out of Georgia here in the USA in twenty twelve.
She said, I had been fascinated with the Lockness Monster
in Scotland since reading about it in my third grade
language arts class. It was my childhood dream to go
(42:14):
to Lockness and search for NeSSI my parents were not
interested and were very apprehensive about going overseas, so I
planned it to be a solo trip. In my twenties,
every bit of money I received as a Christmas or
Birthday present was saved over the years in an envelope
marked Scotland and kept in a safety deposit box. At
(42:39):
age nineteen, I was diagnosed with the epstein bar virus
and monoonucleosis and was bedridden for six weeks. I never
fully recovered, and two years later I was then diagnosed
with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibroma algia. This was a
(43:02):
major setback in my independence, and my trip to Scotland
got pushed even further into my future as I tried
to survive and attempt to just live a normal life.
In twenty twelve, after struggling to find a job post
college graduation, I was hired at an electric corporation in Duluth, Georgia.
(43:26):
There was another new hire that sat next to me
during the orientation who was about my father's age with
a very familiar accent. He was from Scotland. I spoke
with him briefly about my childhood dream and my health difficulties.
We worked on completely different sides of the building and
(43:46):
in different departments. Our paths would have never crossed had
we not gone through New Higher Orientation together. A few
years later, I was healthier and ready to start planning
my Soulo trip to Lockness. Traveling alone would prove very
difficult with my illness. I saw my New Hire Orientation
(44:08):
friend in the break room one day and I told
him about my plans. I told him I was thinking
about flying into Inverness, which is the closest airport to Lockness,
no more than a thirty minute drive away, and he
informed me that his mom and sister lived in Inverness
and I could rent a visitor's flat at his mother's
(44:29):
retirement community apartment complex, and then I would have a
mother and grandmother figure nearby to host me if I
needed anything. A few months later, A few months later,
I was at my favorite bar in Nashville, Tennessee, celebrating
my birthday and there was a girl about my age
(44:52):
who was alone. She stood next to me by the
stage and we bonded, singing a few songs together. She
even try to set me up with the guitarist in
the band. When we spoke, I could tell she had
an odd accent and asked where she was from. She
said she was from the UK. I told her I
(45:14):
was going to Inverness in Scotland that coming summer, and
she told me that's where she currently lived. We connected
via social media and she ended up being the person
who greeted me at the Inverness airport upon my arrival.
(45:36):
The Higher power God lined up my childhood dream trip perfectly,
with the grandmother, mother and a girlfriend to host me
and guide me as I traveled alone. When something is
meant to be, the stars truly line up. My three
(45:56):
weeks stay was beyond what words could just. Realizing my
childhood dream was one of the most fulfilling accomplishments I've
ever experienced. Traveling solo internationally was a major step out
of my comfort zone and into my independence and adulthood.
Having a safety net of three trustworthy women and Inverness
(46:20):
meant the world to me, but still allowed me to
spread my wings. Oh and if you're wondering if I
got a glimpse of the Lockness monster, well let's just
say I got what I wanted don't you love stories
(46:42):
like that where all the pieces fall into place, everything
comes together in a manner that's too much for mere coincidence.
When you want something and you set your mind to
it and your patient, you might not get it exactly
when you want it, but if you're serious enough about it,
you can manifest it. Thank you for that story. Actually,
(47:06):
go if you haven't read this book, folks, go to
Amazinghappy Endings dot com. You can get it for next
to nothing on Amazon. Listen to the audiobook on Audible.
I'm gonna see if I can squeeze In an email,
I got here real quick from Amanda, who wrote to
me about the Grabavoy codes. I recently did a podcast
(47:27):
about those. These are numbers that you can meditate on
that might help you manifest things, she says, Joshua, after
your episode. I ordered the book on the codes and
tried the one for Unexpected Money a few weeks ago.
Today in the mail, I received a check for thirty
five dollars and fifty eight cents from an insurance company
(47:48):
for a car that was totaled six years ago. It
gave me quite a chuckle to see the code in action.
Thanks again, Amanda, and that's great, Amanda, that you have
that attitude. You know, even though it was only thirty
five dollars and fifty eight cents, I mean, it was
unexpected money and you experimented with it and now you
(48:10):
can be like, hmmm, let me let me take this
up a notch. You got to do these things and
baby steps. Well, we've covered a lot in this program
as usual, so now let us all meditate together on
bringing good luck to all of us listening. We want
to make your next week the best week ever. So
(48:32):
if you can close your eyes regardless, take some deep breaths,
and let us all listen to the one, the only,
the true, original good fortune tone. Deep breath, Ah, here
it is. That's it for this edition of the show.
