Speaker 1 (00:57):
Ready, you will be amazed by the wizard of Weird
Strange Things with Joshua Warren. I am Joshua P. Warren,
and each week on this show, I'll be bringing a
brand new mind blowing content, news, exercises, and weird experiments
(01:18):
you can do at home, and a lot more on
this edition of the show. Did my friend just contact
me from the other side? Yes, I'm talking about a
friend who recently died and I believe he may have
(01:43):
contacted me from the other side. I have been trying
to wrap my head around this. It's amazing. I believe
the only person I have told about this is my
wife Lauren, I've been just sort of waiting to see
if anything else happened and to sort of think about
(02:04):
this a bit more before sharing it with the rest
of the world. And well, here we go, because I
want to see if you think this is as remarkable
as I do. It's a heck of a story, so
I'm going to kind of take my time telling it.
(02:25):
You may or may not know that I have worked
in broadcasting for many years, and back when I was
living in my hometown of Asheville, North Carolina, I created
and hosted a radio program called Speaking of Strange. I
hosted it at news Radio five SEVENTYNC the Talk of
(02:50):
the Mountains, and it was a great show. It ran
for many years. We had a lot of fun, and
from time to time I would produce events that would
tie in with the show. And by the way, if
you've never heard that program, there are still some of
the old podcasts from that show if you go to
Speaking of Strange dot com. And toward the end, when
(03:13):
I moved to Puerto Rico, I asked some other friends
to host the show for me, so some of the
last ones are not hosted by me. But if you
dig deeper, you'll find you know, ninety nine percent of
them are are hosted by me, and there's some really
good stuff in there and some pretty funny wild stuff
there at Speaking of Strange dot com. So I at
(03:35):
that time was always excited about producing opportunities to interact
in person with the listeners, and in two thousand and four,
I think I had the idea to create an event
called the Speaking of Strange UFO Experience. And that is
(03:56):
because I would receive so many pictures and videos of
supposed UFOs it became, you know, overwhelming to try to
analyze them and give a knowledgeable opinion. My friend Mobius,
who was a producer of the show, he is a
much greater expert than I when it comes to analyzing
(04:18):
these things, and so we would always discuss what the
options were when we get these images. And at some
point I said, how do we know definitively what we're
looking at here is not a balloon or some kind
of an optical illusion, or it's some kind of a
remote control plane or what? And I said, why don't
(04:41):
we have a contest where we go out here, find
a remote place in the mountains, and we just invite
all of the hobbyists and engineers and UFO enthusiasts, we
can to build their own version of a fake US
and to come out and we'll fly them and compete
(05:04):
and see who creates the most convincing one, and we
can shoot footage of that, and then we will have
a reference that we can use when we're analyzing things.
We can say, oh, this looks a lot like a
Chinese lantern, or you know, this looks a lot like
some kind of you know, like a helium balloon or whatever.
And so the only rules were it has to be safe.
(05:31):
Safety is number one. I guess, it has to fly,
and it ultimately has got to I guess, really, you
know what, I think those are the only two real rules.
Then it has to be able to fly on its
own independently, and it has to be safe. That was
pretty much about all there was to it. Other than that,
(05:52):
it's kind of like, let's your imagination run wild. And
we didn't know that first year if anybody was going
to show up. I mean, I went out and I
rented this big community center and Barnardsville, North Carolina called
the Big Ivy Community Center place where you can imagine
it's like any other community center where people would go
and have picnics and have a band. And so I
(06:16):
rented that place and boy, I'm telling you, people showed
up from all over. I mean, I would say for
hundreds of miles, from hundreds of miles around. People showed
up and we just had a blast. And we saw
every type of method of propulsion you can imagine, you know,
(06:38):
not only your regular balloons, but like I say, the
Chinese balloons and rockets and kites and remote control helicopters.
And it's just like people were so incredibly creative. The
whole thing. It had an aura like like a fireworks
show around it, and I was just all struck by
(06:59):
some of the effects that some of these these ingenious
people could create using a very small budget, really, you know,
often no more than a couple hundred dollars, in some
cases less than one hundred. Well we did that for
i'd say four or five years every year, and most
(07:21):
of the time the champion was this man from Tennessee
named Jeff Wilson. And he was so good. You know,
Jeff would come out, he'd drive out from Tennessee with
his wife, Debbie, and you never knew he had all
kinds of interesting gadgets, and he was that kind of guy,
(07:41):
you know, my kind of guy, gadget kind of guy,
and you never knew exactly what his craft was going
to look like. I think it was his very first
year he produced this big triangular craft and it basically
I think there's a UFO out there, famous one called
(08:03):
like the Belgian triangles. It reminded all of us of that.
And he got this thing up in the air. He
just attached black helium balloons to it best I recall,
and he got this thing up into the air, and
then he had a remote control and he could use
this remote control to create these different stages where once
(08:24):
this thing got up in the air, it would release
smoke and fog and then it would and then he
had lasers that would shoot down and he could scan
the ground with the lasers. I mean, it looked amazing
if you walked outside and you saw that. For one thing,
as far as the size of it, it was probably
(08:44):
like three feet by three feet by three feet, you know,
a triangle. But if it's up there in the sky,
you can't really tell how big it is at night.
And I mean, if you saw that, you would swear
you were looking at some other worldly craft, especially back
in those days, and it was so amazing that, believe
it or not. Afterward, pictures of his fake UFO made
(09:10):
it out there onto the Internet without explanation, and media
outlets around the world started running stories saying this was
a real UFO, and there was one story that said
it was captured in Ireland. I think probably my favorite
(09:32):
one is there was an issue of Fate magazine that
came out right after that and they had a painting
on the front that looked just like his triangle. I
can only imagine it was his craft. To this day,
to this day, I kid you not, and Mobius will
tell you the same thing. There are people who contact
me and they are making documentaries or whatever, and they say,
(09:57):
what's the story behind this UFO? Want to talk about,
you know, the sighting and they and they always have
heard a different version of it. And when I tell them, oh, well, look,
this was actually a fake. This was a prop that
we used in a contest. You know, a lot of
times they don't believe it, they don't want to hear it.
And in fact, Jeff got such a kick out of
(10:18):
this that he gave me that very first UFO that
he made, so that I could put it in my
Asheville Mystery Museum that I had at the time, where
it was on display all those years. I now have
it in storage in uh in Asheville, and that's one
of the things that I'm going to be bringing here
to Las Vegas in the near future. Well, every year
(10:45):
he blew us away, and he was just such a
good guy. He and Debbie were just great people. And
at one point, you know, I did an event out
here in Vegas, and he drove all the way out
here by himself from to a seat to Las Vegas
to spend one evening when I'm dinged this event. And
then later on he and Debbie came out together and
(11:07):
went out to dinner one evening with Lauren and myself.
We just always had a really fun, wonderful time. And
then he contacted me last year in March of twenty
twenty four to tell me that he had stage four cancer,
that it had it had spread to his lungs, skin, liver, bones,
(11:35):
and we made a special arrangement. When we come back
from this break, I'm going to tell you for the
first time what that arrangement was. And I'm already getting
the goosebumps. I'm already getting the ice water down my back,

Joshua P. Warren dot com. That's me. You're listening to
Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Paranormal Podcast Network, and I'll be right back. Welcome back
(13:30):
to Strange Things fall the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast
AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, the Wizard
of Weird, Joshua pe 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. I
(13:52):
Gietato Zoom talking to you about my friend who recently
passed away, Jeff Wilson, champion UFO maker at my event,
famous especially for his big, amazing triangles that he would
(14:14):
float up there to this guy that would make you
believe you were about to be abducted. I'm looking at
this message that I received from him March fifteenth of
twenty twenty four at one fifty eight pm. He was,
I believe, fifty six years old at this time. He said, Hey, man,
(14:35):
don't know if you saw my post on Facebook, but
I have stage four cancer. Just want to let you
know some of my best times were at the UFO contest.
So I wrote him back and said, damn, I'm sorry
(15:00):
to hear this, And you know, of course, I told
him how much that I enjoyed our friendship and thanked
him for this and that you know how it goes.
But but then at the same time, you know, he
he's a guy like me. He's a curious person. He's
(15:23):
interested in ghosts and UFOs in the afterlife, and I
knew that I could preach this subject with him and
I said, I said, well, look, if you are to
pass on, let's establish a secret word that you can
(15:46):
use to connect with me from the other side. What
is an unusual word you will remember? Now, let me
pause for a second and tell you may know this
is not the first time I have done this. I
have done this with a number of friends over the
years who've passed on. There has only been one time
(16:07):
when I may have gotten a result from it. But
I can't be one hundred percent sure, and that is
because my wife may have just guessed the word because
she also knew the person. No sense in getting it
off into that story. But I've never this is This
(16:30):
is very different kind of thing where I just say, okay,
what is an unusual word? You'll remember it? So and somehow.
The idea, of course, will be that after he's dead,
he will try to communicate this word to me in
some way. So he wrote me back and he said,
(16:50):
give me a word. So I thought about it for
a little bit, and I thought, well, so you know,
what's something that is appropriate to h they'd be easy
to remember. And I said, how about this, given your
UFO models, here is a word that's simple and memorable.
(17:11):
Triangle triangle, and he wrote me back and he said,
triangle is perfect. And then he said that video is
still getting lots of hits from people saying it's real.
(17:32):
So I told him, I said, please be sure not
to tell another soul that our word is triangle, and
that way I will be certain I'm not being misled
if we connect, and he swore he would not tell anyone. Well,
(17:55):
as I told you that cancer kept spreading over the
past year, and I got a text on Valentine's Day,
February the fourteenth of twenty twenty five from his wife
Debbie to let me know that Jeff had passed away
on February the eighth. He was fifty seven years old.
(18:24):
So that was that was a sad start to Valentine's Day.
But I immediately started thinking, I wonder if he's going to
try to connect with me somehow. Now told Debbie how
sorry I was. I'll get back to that in a minute.
(18:48):
After I texted with her for a little bit and
this was I'd just woken up and you know, I
have weird hours and checked her text messages. I don't
know what it was sometime early in the after noon
and Valentine's Day was on a Friday, and this show
(19:09):
Strange Things comes out every Friday, and so my routine
is to wake up and check my text messages or whatever,
and then I get on the computer and make sure
that the show has been uploaded properly by iHeart, and
if everything looks good, then I sit down and I
start promoting the show through social media, and I send
(19:31):
out my newsletter and kind of let everybody know that
the new show is posted. So right as soon as
I finished texting with her, I sat down at my
computer to start promoting the day's show and I went
to Twitter, which they now call X And every almost
(19:54):
every Friday, Coast to Coast AM has a little promo
that they will put out there on their Twitter feed
to publicize the Paranormal Podcast Network, and it'll have a
link to my show and Sundra's show and Captain Ron show.
And there's always you know, like a little picture of
(20:17):
some kind there, and it's usually something creepy, you know,
some shadowy ghostly figure, or it might be you know, Bigfoot,
or it might be like close up eyes of some
little alien, or you just never know what they're going
to post there. But it's always some kind of creepy thing, right.
(20:37):
So as soon as I went to Twitter, I got
a notification that Coast to Coast AM had put out
the promo for that day. And what I usually do
is I'll retweet that and then I will write my
own original tweet with well, here's what today's show is.
And I have nothing to do with the folks who
(21:00):
operate the Twitter Paige, I don't even know who does it.
I mean, I know who some of the tech guys are.
I can take some guesses, but I'm not a part
of that process. I check my social media and I
see what they put out there, and I'm just as
surprised as anybody else. So here's the promo that they
put out for that day, Valentine's Day, February fourteenth, twenty
(21:24):
twenty five. They posted a picture, and let me describe
this picture to you. There is a blue, surreal, flat,
peaceful landscape. It's a bit hazy, a bit dreamy, and
(21:48):
there is a man standing there alone and we see
him from behind gazing off into the distance at the horizon,
and in front of him in the sky is a
single object. It's a huge glowing triangle I cannot imagine
(22:24):
a better portrayal of Jeff Wilson passing onward toward the
next realm and sending me our secret message. Can you imagine?
I get the text from his wife, Debbie, put the
(22:44):
phone down, go to my computer to promote the show,
and the first thing I see is this image. It's
like Jeff is standing there looking at his triangular craft
in the sky. God. Yeah, I mean, I'm telling you.
The hair is standing up on my arms. And I
(23:11):
just had to sit there for a minute, and I
mean I was, I was sort of sort of numb.
And then you know, I started getting some tears in
my eyes, and I said, what else could he have done? Like?
This is perfect? He showed me He went beyond triangle,
showed me a picture of a man who looks like
(23:35):
he's passing in to some other, to some other realm.
He's at peace with it, but he's curious. And there's
there's his there's his triangular craft. Thank you, Jeff, God
bless you, God speed. You know what. Jeff was a
(24:02):
man who loved to drive fast cars, build things that
have crazy adventures, and his excitement was almost childlike, and
he was brilliant and I told his wife Debbie that
he's building some kind of chariot right now up there
to soar through the heavens. And she wrote back and
(24:24):
said that, well someone else told her that he's racing
the chariots in heaven. Well there you go. So if
you need a little proof that life goes on and
we will see our loved ones again someday, well just
(24:48):
think about that story. Time for a break. When we
come back. I have something else I want to share
with you that's quite amazing about the human body you me,
and the potential for us being greater spiritual beings playing
(25:10):
into that afterlife. I'm Joshua pe Warren. You're listening to
Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Paranormal Podcast Network. I'll be back after these important messages.
(25:56):
Welcome back to Strange Things on 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. I'm going to if I can remember ask,
(26:19):
I'm gonna ask Lauren to go to the podcast Instagram
page and post a screenshot of this image. That I
was telling you about of the man looking at the
glowing triangle in the sky. And if you if you're
(26:39):
on Instagram, I think it's just at Joshua P. Warren podcast.
You'll find you'll find me there, and it's it's a
fairly new Instagram page. It hasn't been around long. So
go ahead, follow us. Let's build that. And if if
I get one of the more people I have the
(26:59):
more picture, I'll be inspired to post. But Larn's the instagrammer,
and so I'll ask her to do that. Something else
I want to mention that's just sort of curious. Is
I think that we did that contest no more than
five years and if memory serves correctly, Jeff Wilson was
(27:22):
the champion every year and we had great competition. It
was the champion every year except one year. And that
year the man who won was named Jim Robison and
he lived in Asheville, and Jim Robison he blew us
(27:42):
all away because that he he was able to take
those Chinese lanterns that cost next to nothing. And I'm
talking about like the paper lanterns and there's a little
candle underneath, and you light the candle and it turns
into a mini'ture hot air balloon and then drifts up
into the sky. I mean it's miraculous. I mean, it's
(28:03):
truly like watching something magical manifest right before your eyes.
It floats up into the sky and off into the distance,
and then thank goodness, the candle goes out and then
they fall down and disintegrate and hopefully they don't burn
forest down. I mean, I've never heard of that, but
you know, people let off thousands of those things. So
we were doing an event and all he had was
(28:23):
a few packs of these Chinese lanterns, and I don't know,
I don't know exactly how many. But he had such
knowledge of weather patterns and timing that he was able
to release these Chinese lanterns and just the right way
(28:44):
so that once they got up into the sky, they
formed a giant V shape like a flock of geese,
and it looked like the phoenix lights flying over because
even though it was a bunch of separate dots of
light different lanterns, when you look up, your eye connects
them all. And I swear, you know, this is how
(29:07):
much it had cost to do that. I don't know,
ten dollars you know, it's paper and tiny, little cheap
Chinese candles and it was just amazing. There are pictures
out there of this huge V shape that looks like
the phoenix lights and he did that with Chinese lanterns.
So we I mean, we really had some great creative
(29:28):
people working on that. And you know what, Jim is
dead also. And Jim died. He was probably around Jeff's age,
maybe even a little younger. And I can't remember. I
(29:49):
think he might have had a tumor or something. I
don't recall. So what does that mean. I mean, it's
just like the two guys who were the champs at
that both died, and they're both wonderful, wonderful, talented, friendly,
warm people. I don't know that reminds you of that,
you know, Billy Joelsong. Only the good die young. I guess, oh,
(30:13):
will I miss them both. The human body is such
a remarkable thing though, because you know, I remember I
used to read, you know, like in the Bible about
Methuselah and how he lived to be about hundreds of
years old or something, and you think, well, that's just ridiculous,
(30:34):
that's nonsense. But we are learning so much more so
quickly about how much more complex the body is and
how what a role the energy plays in the body
that I'm thinking that it might be possible that we
are going to see some exponential growth here very soon
(30:55):
that's going to start expanding our lives tremendously, our life spans,
at least for for those of us who get access
to it and can afford it. When I was living
in Puerto Rico, one of my favorite things to do
was to visit the bioluminescent bays. And you go out
there at night, and if you found a good company,
(31:16):
they'd take you out on a boat on a dark
night to one of these bays and they'd let you
jump in the water, and the water was as warm
as bath water, And as soon as you hit the water,
your entire body was surrounded by this fluorescent blue glow,
like the glow of a glow stick that you'd shake
(31:36):
up at a parade or a party, and it was
just the most magical thing. I mean, you'd lifted your
if you'd lift your hand up and you saw the
beads of water rolling down your hand, the beads of
water would be sparkling like little stars. You could put
your hands under the water and thrust them forth like
you're pushing forth a fireball, and sure enough, a big
(31:59):
blue ball which out of your hand. I could sit
here and tell you stories all night long about weird
biluminescent bay effects. One night I was on a bay
and it was a huge, huge, big bay. There was
nobody else around, and I was on this boat with
this captain and he goes, hey, guys, watch this. You're
not gonna want to miss this. And he turned on
(32:22):
this motor that the fish didn't like, and all of
a sudden, it was like hundreds of fish came leaping
out of the water at once, and every one of
them was glowing blue. I mean, it was just like
the craziest thing I've ever seen. And this is a
biluminicent effect because there are these little creatures, little microscopic
creatures that live in the water called dino flagelets, and
(32:45):
whenever they're agitated, they glow. It's part of a defense mechanism.
So these are little glowing creatures. For a while, I
even had some in a jar as pets, but I
think Lauren forgot to feed them at some point. So nonetheless,
there's to ingest I mean, if you drink water from
the Bioluminescent Bay, it's not going to kill you. And
(33:05):
when I was there, I actually on one night I
ran into some doctors who had traveled to the Biluminescent
Bay from far away, and they were studying this method
where they said they were taking bioluminescent water and injecting
it into people, and that after you do this, because
(33:25):
it's totally safe, you could put the person in a
dark room with a very sensitive camera and then you
could see the glowing water flowing all throughout the person's veins.
And it was a very effective way of imaging certain things,
(33:46):
a very safe, effective way of imaging certain things that
may not have been so easy to image otherwise. And
I just thought that was like a genius idea. Well,
and then the other day I'm looking around here on
the internet and I come across this story and it
says it says humans glow in the dark. It's just
(34:09):
too weak for our eyes to see. They're not talking
about putting bioluminescent things in you. They're saying, and this
is spiritscience central dot com. They're saying that no humans
also just glow on their own. Humans are also naturally bioluminescent,
(34:33):
that it's very faint, that it's imperceptible to the naked eye,
That it's the product of our metabolism, the chemical processes
that keep ourselves alive and thriving, and as our bodies
generate energy to fuel these processes, they also release small
amounts of photons, or particles of light, and they form
(34:55):
a dim glow that's always present, though hidden from view.
And it's reminder than even in our most ordinary moments,
extraordinary things are happening beneath the surface. Well, I wanted
to know, like, how legit is this? It makes sense,
but how legit is it? So I said, hey, Groc, Grok,
(35:17):
is it true that humans are faintly bioluminescent? Now, if
you don't know, Grok is my new favorite AI search engine.
You go there and you ask Groc. You say, hey,
tell me, you could ask him anything. You can ask
(35:41):
him anything and you'll get an amazing answer. And I
say him because, look, I guess technically, I mean, I
guess Groc is a sexual. But I always kind of
think of Grok as being a man, because that Groc
(36:02):
seems like c three po to me. But come to
think of it, I mean, is C three po a man?
Is this even a reasonable question? Maybe this is one
of those things they call a non sequitur. I don't know.
I've never tried to ask Groc anything dirty. Uh, because
(36:27):
you know, I'm not sure. I don't want to be impolite.
I don't want to be offensive. I don't know what.
I don't understand why. I don't want Groc to do
something bad to me. Uh. I just ask about science
and philosophy. But if one of you decide to ask
Rock something dirty, let me know how Groc responds to them.
(36:49):
So Groc says, yes, humans are indeed faintly bi iluminescent.
This phenomenon is due to a process called ultra weak
photon emission UPE. We're living organisms, including humans, emit a
very small number of photons or light particles as a
byproduct of metabolic processes, and humans this glow is extremely faint,
(37:09):
about one thousand times weaker than the human eye can detect,
so we don't see it under normal circumstances. But we
have such an energy layer that we're glowing. Is this
similar to the aura? Okay, we're up on a break.
My goodness, the time keeps flying by when we come
back listen to this. I saw a headline and I
(37:30):
was like, no, this can't be true, this can't be true.
An electronic tongue. I'm Joshua P. Warren. You're listening to
Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Paranormal Podcast Network. I'll be right back. Welcome back to
(38:23):
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 you glow.
You are a bioluminescent being. And you know, even though
(38:47):
your eyes might not be able to always see people glowing,
some people can see an aura. I can see the
human aura. If you have never seen the human aura,
and I'm not saying that that's that's what we're talking
about here, that that's the same thing, but it's certainly
I'm sure related. If you've never seen the human aura.
If you sign up for my free e newsletter on
(39:08):
the homepage of Joshua P. Warren dot com, I told
you you'll get some links. One of them is a
link to in free instructions on something I invented. It's
called the Aura visor, And for a few dollars you
can make one of these and like ten minutes at
(39:29):
your house, you put it on, and you will most
likely start seeing the aura and possibly even deeper into
the spiritual realm very quickly. I'm not joking. Try that out,
but sure enough, you are a glowing spiritual being. You
are radiating light. You are not just this crude. This
(39:52):
crude't matter you are. You are an energy being first
and foremost, and energy you can be neither created nor destroyed,
simply conserved, transferred on. That's why I don't think you
actually die. When you die, a part of you dies.
We're always shape shifting. You don't look the way you
(40:13):
looked when you were a baby, or a different, different
form of yourself now, But you're still You're still you,
And I believe that when you shed this skin, you
still have that energy and you move on to other experiences,
into what you can call an after life. But I
(40:34):
don't think you're you're ever unconscious. I'm sure your level
of consciousness may change, but I think you will always.
If you're conscious now, then that means you're always going
to be conscious in some form. That's just what I think.
And I am not the smartest man in the world,
but I did stay at a holiday and express when
(40:58):
it comes to the complexity of the human body. I
saw this headline, and you know how much stuff you
see on the net and you're just like, yeah, right,
this is just some kind of clickbait. This can't be real.
I saw a headline and it said electronic tongue could
let you taste cake and virtual reality, and I'm just like,
(41:21):
no way. I'm a very open minded guy, but even
for me, I'm like, no way, you're gonna let me
taste cake in virtual reality? And then I realized this
is an article from New Scientist dot com. This is
a legit science I was like, what, well, here it is.
(41:43):
It's by Alex Wilkins. Virtual reality could get more realistic
thanks to scientists inventing an artificial tongue that can taste
flavors such as sourness and umami. Now, let's Paul's right there.
Because again, I'm not the smartest guy. I'm not the
most cultured guy. I don't even know what umami means.
(42:03):
So I was like, hey, Grock, I'm just gonna let
groc do this show from now on. Unfortunately he can't
talk right now, but maybe someday. But anyways, I was like,
what is what is umami? And apparently it says umami
is a savory taste, one of the basic five tastes,
(42:25):
along with sweet, sour, salty, and bitter, comes from the
Japanese word umai, which means delicious, and it says it's
found in many foods, including meats. So here is like
examples of umami rich foods parmesan, cheese, yummy mushrooms. Yeah,
(42:45):
I like mushrooms, Seaweed, yeah, I can handle some seaweed,
soy sauce, tomatoes, miso, cured meats like pepperoni, salami, bacon. Okay,
So they're saying I can taste all this stuff through
virtual reality. How is this gonna work? It says this
electronic tongue can replicate these flavors like cake and fish
(43:08):
soup through virtual reality. And it says that this I
guess as scientist to your name yet send Yeah. At
the Ohio State University and his colleagues have developed this
system called e Taste, and it can sample of food
work out how to partly recreate the flavor of the
(43:30):
food and apply this to your mouth. It's got chemicals
in there that correspond to salt and citric and glucose
and anyway. So they have it's almost like I think
of this myself as being like a print cartridge, like
a color cartridge, and it mixes certain colors together, and
(43:51):
it uses sensors to detect the levels of these chemicals,
and food converts them to digital readings, sends these values
to the pump, which pushes all amounts of different flavored
containing hydro gels into a small tube under a person's tongue.
So I'm looking at a picture of this thing, and
it looks to me like some kind of a little
(44:13):
stack of gels hooked to a microchip. And I guess,
like this little flexible piece of plastic goes under your
tongue and the tongue is connected to this little stack
of gels and a microchip, and so I guess you
sit there with some kind of a mouthpiece and you
go to like the Food Network website. So I mean,
(44:41):
it's not like that they're magically creating this flavor in
your mouth. I mean there's some combination of chemicals there
that they're using to reconstruct some of these flavors. It's
still pretty darn crazy, though. This is what I'm talking
about in ten years. Who knows, who knows what with
AI out there? Who knows what our world's going to
(45:01):
be like in ten years and what we're going to
be able to do with the human body? Okay? I
want to jump to an email that I got from
a man in Australia and he wanted to share this
with me. He writes to me. His name is Scott,
and he says, mate, crikey, you know what, I wish
(45:22):
that Americans had something cool like that. We could say,
you know, British people could say bloody hell, or you know,
you got the Australians. Crikey. What do we have as Americans? Dude?
I don't know. We need to come up with some
kind of a cool cultural opening like that. He says. Joshua,
(45:43):
I like what you're doing, Keep doing it. I love
your inquisitive mind, etc. He says this good fortune tone, man,
dang it. He said. Things have been happening in the
days following meditating on the good fortune tone. He says,
thirty seconds all the way up to twenty minutes. For example,
(46:05):
he says, I found a lost priceless gold ring of
sixty one years that a grandma lost at the public
school some hours earlier. It just appears to me meters
away when it became clear to keep an eye out
for it, as distressed onlookers stood by the pool side
staff and all, and I just popped up like Frodo
(46:26):
and I'm like, here, it is no big deal. I
told the lady. They were all in tears. Meditating on
the tone has brought me and others good fortune. So
he says, Then there was another thing, drove on a
two hour goose chase each way because of an order
(46:46):
on a package that got messed up, one hundred and
eleven kilometers from my home. And he says, he's talking
about how complicated this whole thing was, and I'm kind
of editing this as I read it, But he said,
as this is a pink climbing rose with a lovely scent.
Long story, But the lady at the plant's location was
(47:07):
going to get rid of it. It had grown large
and unruly. I took a few cuttings with my box scissors.
So four hours over two days and driving two hundred
and seventy five point eight eight miles, he switched into miles.
He says he had these priceless cuttings that you'd be
unlikely to find anyway else, considering bah and he says,
(47:29):
I took these cuttings and they couldn't have been more
perfect for what I needed. It was an ordeal that
worked out great. This was the first thing that really
came to me when I used the tone. And then
he says, fast forward to today. After listening to the
tone yesterday for about a minute, I woke up today
went about my routine and he said, this usually means
(47:51):
swimming and physio as I I am recovering from a
fallen some injuries, and he said, I am a year
out of a surgery. He says, anyway, today, I'm coming
up past my old high school and parked opposite as
this Ford Turbo for sale turbocharged beast for under ten thousand.
(48:12):
It's basically the car i'd imagine wanting. The night before
while falling asleep, my father brought up wanting his old
stolen one back from twenty eighteen, and this one it's
for sell locally. Very nice, well to do folks, willing
to negotiate. He said, this car is now mine. It's
going to be inspected tomorrow. He just goes on and on,
(48:37):
and he says, what the heck have you done? Man?
He says, this tone works. Use it everyone, Play this
to patients in hospital and rehab. He says, I want
to play it and gamble. Joshua, keep being you well, Scott,
thank you. Here it is, folks, the one and only
good fortune tone. That's it for this edition of the show.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Ready, you will be amazed by the wizard of Weird
Strange Things with Joshua Warren. I am Joshua P. Warren,
and each week on this show, I'll be bringing a
brand new mind blowing content, news, exercises, and weird experiments
(01:18):
you can do at home, and a lot more on
this edition of the show. Did my friend just contact
me from the other side? Yes, I'm talking about a
friend who recently died and I believe he may have
(01:43):
contacted me from the other side. I have been trying
to wrap my head around this. It's amazing. I believe
the only person I have told about this is my
wife Lauren, I've been just sort of waiting to see
if anything else happened and to sort of think about
(02:04):
this a bit more before sharing it with the rest
of the world. And well, here we go, because I
want to see if you think this is as remarkable
as I do. It's a heck of a story, so
I'm going to kind of take my time telling it.
(02:25):
You may or may not know that I have worked
in broadcasting for many years, and back when I was
living in my hometown of Asheville, North Carolina, I created
and hosted a radio program called Speaking of Strange. I
hosted it at news Radio five SEVENTYNC the Talk of
(02:50):
the Mountains, and it was a great show. It ran
for many years. We had a lot of fun, and
from time to time I would produce events that would
tie in with the show. And by the way, if
you've never heard that program, there are still some of
the old podcasts from that show if you go to
Speaking of Strange dot com. And toward the end, when
(03:13):
I moved to Puerto Rico, I asked some other friends
to host the show for me, so some of the
last ones are not hosted by me. But if you
dig deeper, you'll find you know, ninety nine percent of
them are are hosted by me, and there's some really
good stuff in there and some pretty funny wild stuff
there at Speaking of Strange dot com. So I at
(03:35):
that time was always excited about producing opportunities to interact
in person with the listeners, and in two thousand and four,
I think I had the idea to create an event
called the Speaking of Strange UFO Experience. And that is
(03:56):
because I would receive so many pictures and videos of
supposed UFOs it became, you know, overwhelming to try to
analyze them and give a knowledgeable opinion. My friend Mobius,
who was a producer of the show, he is a
much greater expert than I when it comes to analyzing
(04:18):
these things, and so we would always discuss what the
options were when we get these images. And at some
point I said, how do we know definitively what we're
looking at here is not a balloon or some kind
of an optical illusion, or it's some kind of a
remote control plane or what? And I said, why don't
(04:41):
we have a contest where we go out here, find
a remote place in the mountains, and we just invite
all of the hobbyists and engineers and UFO enthusiasts, we
can to build their own version of a fake US
and to come out and we'll fly them and compete
(05:04):
and see who creates the most convincing one, and we
can shoot footage of that, and then we will have
a reference that we can use when we're analyzing things.
We can say, oh, this looks a lot like a
Chinese lantern, or you know, this looks a lot like
some kind of you know, like a helium balloon or whatever.
And so the only rules were it has to be safe.
(05:31):
Safety is number one. I guess, it has to fly,
and it ultimately has got to I guess, really, you
know what, I think those are the only two real rules.
Then it has to be able to fly on its
own independently, and it has to be safe. That was
pretty much about all there was to it. Other than that,
(05:52):
it's kind of like, let's your imagination run wild. And
we didn't know that first year if anybody was going
to show up. I mean, I went out and I
rented this big community center and Barnardsville, North Carolina called
the Big Ivy Community Center place where you can imagine
it's like any other community center where people would go
and have picnics and have a band. And so I
(06:16):
rented that place and boy, I'm telling you, people showed
up from all over. I mean, I would say for
hundreds of miles, from hundreds of miles around. People showed
up and we just had a blast. And we saw
every type of method of propulsion you can imagine, you know,
(06:38):
not only your regular balloons, but like I say, the
Chinese balloons and rockets and kites and remote control helicopters.
And it's just like people were so incredibly creative. The
whole thing. It had an aura like like a fireworks
show around it, and I was just all struck by
(06:59):
some of the effects that some of these these ingenious
people could create using a very small budget, really, you know,
often no more than a couple hundred dollars, in some
cases less than one hundred. Well we did that for
i'd say four or five years every year, and most
(07:21):
of the time the champion was this man from Tennessee
named Jeff Wilson. And he was so good. You know,
Jeff would come out, he'd drive out from Tennessee with
his wife, Debbie, and you never knew he had all
kinds of interesting gadgets, and he was that kind of guy,
(07:41):
you know, my kind of guy, gadget kind of guy,
and you never knew exactly what his craft was going
to look like. I think it was his very first
year he produced this big triangular craft and it basically
I think there's a UFO out there, famous one called
(08:03):
like the Belgian triangles. It reminded all of us of that.
And he got this thing up in the air. He
just attached black helium balloons to it best I recall,
and he got this thing up into the air, and
then he had a remote control and he could use
this remote control to create these different stages where once
(08:24):
this thing got up in the air, it would release
smoke and fog and then it would and then he
had lasers that would shoot down and he could scan
the ground with the lasers. I mean, it looked amazing
if you walked outside and you saw that. For one thing,
as far as the size of it, it was probably
(08:44):
like three feet by three feet by three feet, you know,
a triangle. But if it's up there in the sky,
you can't really tell how big it is at night.
And I mean, if you saw that, you would swear
you were looking at some other worldly craft, especially back
in those days, and it was so amazing that, believe
it or not. Afterward, pictures of his fake UFO made
(09:10):
it out there onto the Internet without explanation, and media
outlets around the world started running stories saying this was
a real UFO, and there was one story that said
it was captured in Ireland. I think probably my favorite
(09:32):
one is there was an issue of Fate magazine that
came out right after that and they had a painting
on the front that looked just like his triangle. I
can only imagine it was his craft. To this day,
to this day, I kid you not, and Mobius will
tell you the same thing. There are people who contact
me and they are making documentaries or whatever, and they say,
(09:57):
what's the story behind this UFO? Want to talk about,
you know, the sighting and they and they always have
heard a different version of it. And when I tell them, oh, well, look,
this was actually a fake. This was a prop that
we used in a contest. You know, a lot of
times they don't believe it, they don't want to hear it.
And in fact, Jeff got such a kick out of
(10:18):
this that he gave me that very first UFO that
he made, so that I could put it in my
Asheville Mystery Museum that I had at the time, where
it was on display all those years. I now have
it in storage in uh in Asheville, and that's one
of the things that I'm going to be bringing here
to Las Vegas in the near future. Well, every year
(10:45):
he blew us away, and he was just such a
good guy. He and Debbie were just great people. And
at one point, you know, I did an event out
here in Vegas, and he drove all the way out
here by himself from to a seat to Las Vegas
to spend one evening when I'm dinged this event. And
then later on he and Debbie came out together and
(11:07):
went out to dinner one evening with Lauren and myself.
We just always had a really fun, wonderful time. And
then he contacted me last year in March of twenty
twenty four to tell me that he had stage four cancer,
that it had it had spread to his lungs, skin, liver, bones,
(11:35):
and we made a special arrangement. When we come back
from this break, I'm going to tell you for the
first time what that arrangement was. And I'm already getting
the goosebumps. I'm already getting the ice water down my back,
(11:59):

Joshua P. Warren dot com. That's me. You're listening to
Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Paranormal Podcast Network, and I'll be right back. Welcome back
(13:30):
to Strange Things fall the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast
AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, the Wizard
of Weird, Joshua pe 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. I
(13:52):
Gietato Zoom talking to you about my friend who recently
passed away, Jeff Wilson, champion UFO maker at my event,
famous especially for his big, amazing triangles that he would
(14:14):
float up there to this guy that would make you
believe you were about to be abducted. I'm looking at
this message that I received from him March fifteenth of
twenty twenty four at one fifty eight pm. He was,
I believe, fifty six years old at this time. He said, Hey, man,
(14:35):
don't know if you saw my post on Facebook, but
I have stage four cancer. Just want to let you
know some of my best times were at the UFO contest.
So I wrote him back and said, damn, I'm sorry
(15:00):
to hear this, And you know, of course, I told
him how much that I enjoyed our friendship and thanked
him for this and that you know how it goes.
But but then at the same time, you know, he
he's a guy like me. He's a curious person. He's
(15:23):
interested in ghosts and UFOs in the afterlife, and I
knew that I could preach this subject with him and
I said, I said, well, look, if you are to
pass on, let's establish a secret word that you can
(15:46):
use to connect with me from the other side. What
is an unusual word you will remember? Now, let me
pause for a second and tell you may know this
is not the first time I have done this. I
have done this with a number of friends over the
years who've passed on. There has only been one time
(16:07):
when I may have gotten a result from it. But
I can't be one hundred percent sure, and that is
because my wife may have just guessed the word because
she also knew the person. No sense in getting it
off into that story. But I've never this is This
(16:30):
is very different kind of thing where I just say, okay,
what is an unusual word? You'll remember it? So and somehow.
The idea, of course, will be that after he's dead,
he will try to communicate this word to me in
some way. So he wrote me back and he said,
(16:50):
give me a word. So I thought about it for
a little bit, and I thought, well, so you know,
what's something that is appropriate to h they'd be easy
to remember. And I said, how about this, given your
UFO models, here is a word that's simple and memorable.
(17:11):
Triangle triangle, and he wrote me back and he said,
triangle is perfect. And then he said that video is
still getting lots of hits from people saying it's real.
(17:32):
So I told him, I said, please be sure not
to tell another soul that our word is triangle, and
that way I will be certain I'm not being misled
if we connect, and he swore he would not tell anyone. Well,
(17:55):
as I told you that cancer kept spreading over the
past year, and I got a text on Valentine's Day,
February the fourteenth of twenty twenty five from his wife
Debbie to let me know that Jeff had passed away
on February the eighth. He was fifty seven years old.
(18:24):
So that was that was a sad start to Valentine's Day.
But I immediately started thinking, I wonder if he's going to
try to connect with me somehow. Now told Debbie how
sorry I was. I'll get back to that in a minute.
(18:48):
After I texted with her for a little bit and
this was I'd just woken up and you know, I
have weird hours and checked her text messages. I don't
know what it was sometime early in the after noon
and Valentine's Day was on a Friday, and this show
(19:09):
Strange Things comes out every Friday, and so my routine
is to wake up and check my text messages or whatever,
and then I get on the computer and make sure
that the show has been uploaded properly by iHeart, and
if everything looks good, then I sit down and I
start promoting the show through social media, and I send
(19:31):
out my newsletter and kind of let everybody know that
the new show is posted. So right as soon as
I finished texting with her, I sat down at my
computer to start promoting the day's show and I went
to Twitter, which they now call X And every almost
(19:54):
every Friday, Coast to Coast AM has a little promo
that they will put out there on their Twitter feed
to publicize the Paranormal Podcast Network, and it'll have a
link to my show and Sundra's show and Captain Ron show.
And there's always you know, like a little picture of
(20:17):
some kind there, and it's usually something creepy, you know,
some shadowy ghostly figure, or it might be you know, Bigfoot,
or it might be like close up eyes of some
little alien, or you just never know what they're going
to post there. But it's always some kind of creepy thing, right.
(20:37):
So as soon as I went to Twitter, I got
a notification that Coast to Coast AM had put out
the promo for that day. And what I usually do
is I'll retweet that and then I will write my
own original tweet with well, here's what today's show is.
And I have nothing to do with the folks who
(21:00):
operate the Twitter Paige, I don't even know who does it.
I mean, I know who some of the tech guys are.
I can take some guesses, but I'm not a part
of that process. I check my social media and I
see what they put out there, and I'm just as
surprised as anybody else. So here's the promo that they
put out for that day, Valentine's Day, February fourteenth, twenty
(21:24):
twenty five. They posted a picture, and let me describe
this picture to you. There is a blue, surreal, flat,
peaceful landscape. It's a bit hazy, a bit dreamy, and
(21:48):
there is a man standing there alone and we see
him from behind gazing off into the distance at the horizon,
and in front of him in the sky is a
single object. It's a huge glowing triangle I cannot imagine
(22:24):
a better portrayal of Jeff Wilson passing onward toward the
next realm and sending me our secret message. Can you imagine?
I get the text from his wife, Debbie, put the
(22:44):
phone down, go to my computer to promote the show,
and the first thing I see is this image. It's
like Jeff is standing there looking at his triangular craft
in the sky. God. Yeah, I mean, I'm telling you.
The hair is standing up on my arms. And I
(23:11):
just had to sit there for a minute, and I
mean I was, I was sort of sort of numb.
And then you know, I started getting some tears in
my eyes, and I said, what else could he have done? Like?
This is perfect? He showed me He went beyond triangle,
showed me a picture of a man who looks like
(23:35):
he's passing in to some other, to some other realm.
He's at peace with it, but he's curious. And there's
there's his there's his triangular craft. Thank you, Jeff, God
bless you, God speed. You know what. Jeff was a
(24:02):
man who loved to drive fast cars, build things that
have crazy adventures, and his excitement was almost childlike, and
he was brilliant and I told his wife Debbie that
he's building some kind of chariot right now up there
to soar through the heavens. And she wrote back and
(24:24):
said that, well someone else told her that he's racing
the chariots in heaven. Well there you go. So if
you need a little proof that life goes on and
we will see our loved ones again someday, well just
(24:48):
think about that story. Time for a break. When we
come back. I have something else I want to share
with you that's quite amazing about the human body you me,
and the potential for us being greater spiritual beings playing
(25:10):
into that afterlife. I'm Joshua pe Warren. You're listening to
Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Paranormal Podcast Network. I'll be back after these important messages.
(25:56):
Welcome back to Strange Things on 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. I'm going to if I can remember ask,
(26:19):
I'm gonna ask Lauren to go to the podcast Instagram
page and post a screenshot of this image. That I
was telling you about of the man looking at the
glowing triangle in the sky. And if you if you're
(26:39):
on Instagram, I think it's just at Joshua P. Warren podcast.
You'll find you'll find me there, and it's it's a
fairly new Instagram page. It hasn't been around long. So
go ahead, follow us. Let's build that. And if if
I get one of the more people I have the
(26:59):
more picture, I'll be inspired to post. But Larn's the instagrammer,
and so I'll ask her to do that. Something else
I want to mention that's just sort of curious. Is
I think that we did that contest no more than
five years and if memory serves correctly, Jeff Wilson was
(27:22):
the champion every year and we had great competition. It
was the champion every year except one year. And that
year the man who won was named Jim Robison and
he lived in Asheville, and Jim Robison he blew us
(27:42):
all away because that he he was able to take
those Chinese lanterns that cost next to nothing. And I'm
talking about like the paper lanterns and there's a little
candle underneath, and you light the candle and it turns
into a mini'ture hot air balloon and then drifts up
into the sky. I mean it's miraculous. I mean, it's
(28:03):
truly like watching something magical manifest right before your eyes.
It floats up into the sky and off into the distance,
and then thank goodness, the candle goes out and then
they fall down and disintegrate and hopefully they don't burn
forest down. I mean, I've never heard of that, but
you know, people let off thousands of those things. So
we were doing an event and all he had was
(28:23):
a few packs of these Chinese lanterns, and I don't know,
I don't know exactly how many. But he had such
knowledge of weather patterns and timing that he was able
to release these Chinese lanterns and just the right way
(28:44):
so that once they got up into the sky, they
formed a giant V shape like a flock of geese,
and it looked like the phoenix lights flying over because
even though it was a bunch of separate dots of
light different lanterns, when you look up, your eye connects
them all. And I swear, you know, this is how
(29:07):
much it had cost to do that. I don't know,
ten dollars you know, it's paper and tiny, little cheap
Chinese candles and it was just amazing. There are pictures
out there of this huge V shape that looks like
the phoenix lights and he did that with Chinese lanterns.
So we I mean, we really had some great creative
(29:28):
people working on that. And you know what, Jim is
dead also. And Jim died. He was probably around Jeff's age,
maybe even a little younger. And I can't remember. I
(29:49):
think he might have had a tumor or something. I
don't recall. So what does that mean. I mean, it's
just like the two guys who were the champs at
that both died, and they're both wonderful, wonderful, talented, friendly,
warm people. I don't know that reminds you of that,
you know, Billy Joelsong. Only the good die young. I guess, oh,
(30:13):
will I miss them both. The human body is such
a remarkable thing though, because you know, I remember I
used to read, you know, like in the Bible about
Methuselah and how he lived to be about hundreds of
years old or something, and you think, well, that's just ridiculous,
(30:34):
that's nonsense. But we are learning so much more so
quickly about how much more complex the body is and
how what a role the energy plays in the body
that I'm thinking that it might be possible that we
are going to see some exponential growth here very soon
(30:55):
that's going to start expanding our lives tremendously, our life spans,
at least for for those of us who get access
to it and can afford it. When I was living
in Puerto Rico, one of my favorite things to do
was to visit the bioluminescent bays. And you go out
there at night, and if you found a good company,
(31:16):
they'd take you out on a boat on a dark
night to one of these bays and they'd let you
jump in the water, and the water was as warm
as bath water, And as soon as you hit the water,
your entire body was surrounded by this fluorescent blue glow,
like the glow of a glow stick that you'd shake
(31:36):
up at a parade or a party, and it was
just the most magical thing. I mean, you'd lifted your
if you'd lift your hand up and you saw the
beads of water rolling down your hand, the beads of
water would be sparkling like little stars. You could put
your hands under the water and thrust them forth like
you're pushing forth a fireball, and sure enough, a big
(31:59):
blue ball which out of your hand. I could sit
here and tell you stories all night long about weird
biluminescent bay effects. One night I was on a bay
and it was a huge, huge, big bay. There was
nobody else around, and I was on this boat with
this captain and he goes, hey, guys, watch this. You're
not gonna want to miss this. And he turned on
(32:22):
this motor that the fish didn't like, and all of
a sudden, it was like hundreds of fish came leaping
out of the water at once, and every one of
them was glowing blue. I mean, it was just like
the craziest thing I've ever seen. And this is a
biluminicent effect because there are these little creatures, little microscopic
creatures that live in the water called dino flagelets, and
(32:45):
whenever they're agitated, they glow. It's part of a defense mechanism.
So these are little glowing creatures. For a while, I
even had some in a jar as pets, but I
think Lauren forgot to feed them at some point. So nonetheless,
there's to ingest I mean, if you drink water from
the Bioluminescent Bay, it's not going to kill you. And
(33:05):
when I was there, I actually on one night I
ran into some doctors who had traveled to the Biluminescent
Bay from far away, and they were studying this method
where they said they were taking bioluminescent water and injecting
it into people, and that after you do this, because
(33:25):
it's totally safe, you could put the person in a
dark room with a very sensitive camera and then you
could see the glowing water flowing all throughout the person's veins.
And it was a very effective way of imaging certain things,
(33:46):
a very safe, effective way of imaging certain things that
may not have been so easy to image otherwise. And
I just thought that was like a genius idea. Well,
and then the other day I'm looking around here on
the internet and I come across this story and it
says it says humans glow in the dark. It's just
(34:09):
too weak for our eyes to see. They're not talking
about putting bioluminescent things in you. They're saying, and this
is spiritscience central dot com. They're saying that no humans
also just glow on their own. Humans are also naturally bioluminescent,
(34:33):
that it's very faint, that it's imperceptible to the naked eye,
That it's the product of our metabolism, the chemical processes
that keep ourselves alive and thriving, and as our bodies
generate energy to fuel these processes, they also release small
amounts of photons, or particles of light, and they form
(34:55):
a dim glow that's always present, though hidden from view.
And it's reminder than even in our most ordinary moments,
extraordinary things are happening beneath the surface. Well, I wanted
to know, like, how legit is this? It makes sense,
but how legit is it? So I said, hey, Groc, Grok,
(35:17):
is it true that humans are faintly bioluminescent? Now, if
you don't know, Grok is my new favorite AI search engine.
You go there and you ask Groc. You say, hey,
tell me, you could ask him anything. You can ask
(35:41):
him anything and you'll get an amazing answer. And I
say him because, look, I guess technically, I mean, I
guess Groc is a sexual. But I always kind of
think of Grok as being a man, because that Groc
(36:02):
seems like c three po to me. But come to
think of it, I mean, is C three po a man?
Is this even a reasonable question? Maybe this is one
of those things they call a non sequitur. I don't know.
I've never tried to ask Groc anything dirty. Uh, because
(36:27):
you know, I'm not sure. I don't want to be impolite.
I don't want to be offensive. I don't know what.
I don't understand why. I don't want Groc to do
something bad to me. Uh. I just ask about science
and philosophy. But if one of you decide to ask
Rock something dirty, let me know how Groc responds to them.
(36:49):
So Groc says, yes, humans are indeed faintly bi iluminescent.
This phenomenon is due to a process called ultra weak
photon emission UPE. We're living organisms, including humans, emit a
very small number of photons or light particles as a
byproduct of metabolic processes, and humans this glow is extremely faint,
(37:09):
about one thousand times weaker than the human eye can detect,
so we don't see it under normal circumstances. But we
have such an energy layer that we're glowing. Is this
similar to the aura? Okay, we're up on a break.
My goodness, the time keeps flying by when we come
back listen to this. I saw a headline and I
(37:30):
was like, no, this can't be true, this can't be true.
An electronic tongue. I'm Joshua P. Warren. You're listening to
Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Paranormal Podcast Network. I'll be right back. Welcome back to
(38:23):
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 you glow.
You are a bioluminescent being. And you know, even though
(38:47):
your eyes might not be able to always see people glowing,
some people can see an aura. I can see the
human aura. If you have never seen the human aura,
and I'm not saying that that's that's what we're talking
about here, that that's the same thing, but it's certainly
I'm sure related. If you've never seen the human aura.
If you sign up for my free e newsletter on
(39:08):
the homepage of Joshua P. Warren dot com, I told
you you'll get some links. One of them is a
link to in free instructions on something I invented. It's
called the Aura visor, And for a few dollars you
can make one of these and like ten minutes at
(39:29):
your house, you put it on, and you will most
likely start seeing the aura and possibly even deeper into
the spiritual realm very quickly. I'm not joking. Try that out,
but sure enough, you are a glowing spiritual being. You
are radiating light. You are not just this crude. This
(39:52):
crude't matter you are. You are an energy being first
and foremost, and energy you can be neither created nor destroyed,
simply conserved, transferred on. That's why I don't think you
actually die. When you die, a part of you dies.
We're always shape shifting. You don't look the way you
(40:13):
looked when you were a baby, or a different, different
form of yourself now, But you're still You're still you,
And I believe that when you shed this skin, you
still have that energy and you move on to other experiences,
into what you can call an after life. But I
(40:34):
don't think you're you're ever unconscious. I'm sure your level
of consciousness may change, but I think you will always.
If you're conscious now, then that means you're always going
to be conscious in some form. That's just what I think.
And I am not the smartest man in the world,
but I did stay at a holiday and express when
(40:58):
it comes to the complexity of the human body. I
saw this headline, and you know how much stuff you
see on the net and you're just like, yeah, right,
this is just some kind of clickbait. This can't be real.
I saw a headline and it said electronic tongue could
let you taste cake and virtual reality, and I'm just like,
(41:21):
no way. I'm a very open minded guy, but even
for me, I'm like, no way, you're gonna let me
taste cake in virtual reality? And then I realized this
is an article from New Scientist dot com. This is
a legit science I was like, what, well, here it is.
(41:43):
It's by Alex Wilkins. Virtual reality could get more realistic
thanks to scientists inventing an artificial tongue that can taste
flavors such as sourness and umami. Now, let's Paul's right there.
Because again, I'm not the smartest guy. I'm not the
most cultured guy. I don't even know what umami means.
(42:03):
So I was like, hey, Grock, I'm just gonna let
groc do this show from now on. Unfortunately he can't
talk right now, but maybe someday. But anyways, I was like,
what is what is umami? And apparently it says umami
is a savory taste, one of the basic five tastes,
(42:25):
along with sweet, sour, salty, and bitter, comes from the
Japanese word umai, which means delicious, and it says it's
found in many foods, including meats. So here is like
examples of umami rich foods parmesan, cheese, yummy mushrooms. Yeah,
(42:45):
I like mushrooms, Seaweed, yeah, I can handle some seaweed,
soy sauce, tomatoes, miso, cured meats like pepperoni, salami, bacon. Okay,
So they're saying I can taste all this stuff through
virtual reality. How is this gonna work? It says this
electronic tongue can replicate these flavors like cake and fish
(43:08):
soup through virtual reality. And it says that this I
guess as scientist to your name yet send Yeah. At
the Ohio State University and his colleagues have developed this
system called e Taste, and it can sample of food
work out how to partly recreate the flavor of the
(43:30):
food and apply this to your mouth. It's got chemicals
in there that correspond to salt and citric and glucose
and anyway. So they have it's almost like I think
of this myself as being like a print cartridge, like
a color cartridge, and it mixes certain colors together, and
(43:51):
it uses sensors to detect the levels of these chemicals,
and food converts them to digital readings, sends these values
to the pump, which pushes all amounts of different flavored
containing hydro gels into a small tube under a person's tongue.
So I'm looking at a picture of this thing, and
it looks to me like some kind of a little
(44:13):
stack of gels hooked to a microchip. And I guess,
like this little flexible piece of plastic goes under your
tongue and the tongue is connected to this little stack
of gels and a microchip, and so I guess you
sit there with some kind of a mouthpiece and you
go to like the Food Network website. So I mean,
(44:41):
it's not like that they're magically creating this flavor in
your mouth. I mean there's some combination of chemicals there
that they're using to reconstruct some of these flavors. It's
still pretty darn crazy, though. This is what I'm talking
about in ten years. Who knows, who knows what with
AI out there? Who knows what our world's going to
(45:01):
be like in ten years and what we're going to
be able to do with the human body? Okay? I
want to jump to an email that I got from
a man in Australia and he wanted to share this
with me. He writes to me. His name is Scott,
and he says, mate, crikey, you know what, I wish
(45:22):
that Americans had something cool like that. We could say,
you know, British people could say bloody hell, or you know,
you got the Australians. Crikey. What do we have as Americans? Dude?
I don't know. We need to come up with some
kind of a cool cultural opening like that. He says. Joshua,
(45:43):
I like what you're doing, Keep doing it. I love
your inquisitive mind, etc. He says this good fortune tone, man,
dang it. He said. Things have been happening in the
days following meditating on the good fortune tone. He says,
thirty seconds all the way up to twenty minutes. For example,
(46:05):
he says, I found a lost priceless gold ring of
sixty one years that a grandma lost at the public
school some hours earlier. It just appears to me meters
away when it became clear to keep an eye out
for it, as distressed onlookers stood by the pool side
staff and all, and I just popped up like Frodo
(46:26):
and I'm like, here, it is no big deal. I
told the lady. They were all in tears. Meditating on
the tone has brought me and others good fortune. So
he says, Then there was another thing, drove on a
two hour goose chase each way because of an order
(46:46):
on a package that got messed up, one hundred and
eleven kilometers from my home. And he says, he's talking
about how complicated this whole thing was, and I'm kind
of editing this as I read it, But he said,
as this is a pink climbing rose with a lovely scent.
Long story, But the lady at the plant's location was
(47:07):
going to get rid of it. It had grown large
and unruly. I took a few cuttings with my box scissors.
So four hours over two days and driving two hundred
and seventy five point eight eight miles, he switched into miles.
He says he had these priceless cuttings that you'd be
unlikely to find anyway else, considering bah and he says,
(47:29):
I took these cuttings and they couldn't have been more
perfect for what I needed. It was an ordeal that
worked out great. This was the first thing that really
came to me when I used the tone. And then
he says, fast forward to today. After listening to the
tone yesterday for about a minute, I woke up today
went about my routine and he said, this usually means
(47:51):
swimming and physio as I I am recovering from a
fallen some injuries, and he said, I am a year
out of a surgery. He says, anyway, today, I'm coming
up past my old high school and parked opposite as
this Ford Turbo for sale turbocharged beast for under ten thousand.
(48:12):
It's basically the car i'd imagine wanting. The night before
while falling asleep, my father brought up wanting his old
stolen one back from twenty eighteen, and this one it's
for sell locally. Very nice, well to do folks, willing
to negotiate. He said, this car is now mine. It's
going to be inspected tomorrow. He just goes on and on,
(48:37):
and he says, what the heck have you done? Man?
He says, this tone works. Use it everyone, Play this
to patients in hospital and rehab. He says, I want
to play it and gamble. Joshua, keep being you well, Scott,
thank you. Here it is, folks, the one and only
good fortune tone. That's it for this edition of the show.
