00:55
Yeah. This is the show where you, the listener, can call in and tell us your scariest or weirdest story from around our little small town of Brackensville. Or your dumbest fairy tales. Luke, you told me, you promised you would- Sorry. Welcome to the Overnight Radio Hour. We're your hosts, Ray and Luke, and we're here to give the spookiest stories. Ooh. That's the spirit.

So, if you're a listener and you have a very scary story, you can call in now at 334-844-9345. Once again, that is 334-844-9345. We'll see if anyone even takes us up on that. I think they will.
01:50
Maybe people are just going to laugh at us. Are you sure you want to do this?
01:54
Yeah, of course I want to do this. We're live. All right. Well, we do actually, surprisingly, have a caller. Give us one second. Ooh, a caller. Caller number one, please.
02:07
Caller one, you are on air. Can you hear us, caller one? Caller one? Hello. Hi. hello you are the first ever caller for the overnight radio hour how excited are you or maybe you're scared spooked i mean well obviously i'm the first caller well um what am i supposed to do is this is this real yeah it's a real radio show where you can call in and tell us your weirdest and spookiest stories from around the town of brackensville
02:40
Real, real scary story. Look, you didn't tell me about this. Why are you even doing this? What? What are you talking about, Sam? Come on, I know you... You put me up and get right up to this.
02:55
I... No.
02:57
Do you not have any scary stories?
02:59
Well... I mean, I guess I... I mean, come on, like, everyone has, like... a moment in their lives where they're a little bit freaked out or weirded out. That's why I wanted to start this show, to explore those moments where you just can't explain what's going on, you know?
03:18
Right, right. Well, I guess I can put something on my sleeve.
03:25
There was this odd thing that happened a couple years ago when, well, you know the McKinnons, right? Well, yeah. John and Patsy. Yeah, they own the bowling alley. They have this.
03:36
Yeah, it was a bowling alley. Well, it wasn't a bowling alley always. It was an arcade, and then there was a laundromat, and they just keep refurbishing that old place, and no one actually goes there. Fascinating. Anyways, so a couple years ago, it was an arcade, and they were refurbishing it up again. Anyways, so the other day, me and Don, me and Mr. Don, we were cleaning it up, right? And there was electronics everywhere. Like from Chuck E. Cheese? No, it wasn't. these are elite animatronics anyways you know and then these animatronics they're they're coming up right and we were cleaning them up and so i was cleaning this one and it looked like a fox it was really really big like foxy from five nights at freddy's like the game
04:25
A game? No, no, no, no. This was legit, okay? A legit box. And I was cleaning that shit up because, you know, I was coming back from school. And, you know, I came into the bowling alley. That wasn't a bowling alley. They also had, like, this really, really fidgety coin machine. And I lost, like, $30 on that. But anyway, so I was cleaning this really, really big animatronic. I left it on the ninth click, you know, like in the corner of the arcade. I left it there, and then I left, right? I went to school the next day, and I came back, and oh my God, you won't believe it.
05:09
What happened? Guess? I hate guessing. Ray, you guess. I guess? I guess.
05:21
You won't believe it! The animatronic was two inches to the right!
05:26
Oh!
05:27
It moved on its own? Yeah! Did you measure it with like a tape measure? I mean, that'd be pretty scary if I came in and there was an animatronic that moved, you know? I think he moved. I think that's what I think he moved. Okay. Stuff start moving around or like maybe it started making noises or something.
05:51
Um, I guess they make noises when you put them in the trunk and, like, off to the Chuck E. Cheese, you know?
05:58
Well, I mean, like, if it moved two inches overnight, does it, like, make a noise at night? Or does it, like, you know, do anything else besides maybe move two inches to the right? Um, I don't know. I guess.
06:15
Well, it wasn't there. So you might want to ask Dawn. Well, John can call in. You can tell Mr. John to call in to our show at 54-844-9345. You bet I will. I'll tell Gary to tell a real scary story after.
06:30
Oh, sorry. What? I wasn't supposed to say that.
06:34
I don't know what they're talking about. Well, it's our first caller. I'm sure we'll get more later. Well, thank you so much, Sam, for being a part of the first episode of the Overnight Radio Hour.
06:43
Buh-bye! Look, you owe me for my car machine. Whatever, alright. Enough of that.
06:50
I mean, that would have been weird if I had went into my job and a robot moved two inches, personally.
06:56
Would you be a security guard or something? Are we just making FNAF jokes now, Luke?
07:02
No. No. Okay, well... I will say this is why I don't believe in ghosts, after all.
07:12
That was silly.
07:13
Okay, maybe it was a bit silly, but that was our first caller. Maybe we'll get someone else. Maybe the president will call in. Why would the president call in?
07:21
I'm sure he's seen some spooky stuff. Oh, like how Jimmy Carter saw a UFO? Is that real? Yeah, Jimmy Carter thought he saw a UFO.
07:31
He did claim that he thought that it wasn't like an alien, that it was probably just like Russia or something, but he did claim that he saw something he couldn't explain. Well... And sometimes, there's just, I think there's just many things out there we can't explain. Well, I think, uh...
07:46
And I want to hear your story. So again, if you have a weird or unexplainable story, maybe a bit scary, you can call us at 334-844-9345.
07:55
What number is that again, Luke? That's 334-844-9345. If you are a deep south peanut farmer, you've got a little too tippy on his teacups, maybe you can call in and get five seconds of fame. You heard that right, five seconds of fame here on the Overnight Radio Hour.
08:14
I'm starting to have fun with this. I'm starting to get this room. Yeah, it's a fun time. Well, while we're having fun, I want our listeners to have fun, too. We're going to switch over to a bit of an ad break, but we'll be right back with the Overnight Radio Hour on WGLE 91.1 FM.

11:42
Uh, hey, this is Garrett. Hey, Garrett, you're their second ever caller. Are you so excited to be here, like I am? Oh, really? I'm the second one? Yeah.
11:53
Oh, I thought I was going to be the first one. Shut up. No, Sam called in earlier. She did? Yeah, well, yeah, to tell her, like, scary story.
12:05
Is that conspiracy of, like, how the...
12:09
The Fox thing at the arcade or whatever. Yes, it was the Fox thing.
12:15
uh... okay i don't think that she got like a different or something because like well well there's no way well you know we all had our experiences and sometimes things can explain it experiences her experiences is schizophrenia because she's stupid okay um well let's shift this on over to your weirdest or unexplainable event that happened to you garrett i just got sorry i'm really tired i'm like walking in my car right now because i just got out of work Have you guys, like, around town, like, you guys, like, be having, like, weirder interactions now, right? Like, I'm not, like, the only person. Like, have you guys, like, like, there's, like, people that, like, feel like they're pretending to be people. Like, it's like you got a person's face. You're, like, not a person. Like, you got a person's face on or something, you know? Especially around the jitterbug. That is correct. Yeah.
13:05
Are you talking about me? No. Garrett. Wow. I would never. Luke didn't mean that. I just got off, and you asked me to call into your show.
13:16
I did not do that, actually. Okay, yeah. Potato, tomato, tomato, potato, dude, whatever. Anyways, I was, like, working. This was, like, around, this was actually, like, a few years ago or something. I was, like, around Christmas. I was really tired, and I had just made, like, this woman, like, her unicorn, like,
13:40
like cappuccino with like extra aspartame in it or whatever she wanted and i just like saw these two people that looked odd like they looked really odd and um it was like when you like notice something's like off about somebody you're like you're you're weird you know okay let me like describe them yeah so there's like these two really white women and like when i say like really white like i mean like they look like dracula white like like transparent
14:11
Not, like, transparent. It's just, like, like, you know, like, some white people, like, you can just, like, see their veins through your skin. Like, they're pale, you know? Yeah. Like, not albino, because then it has, like, the red eyes. They have, like, these, I did not like their eyes, actually. They have, like, these big hazel eyes that look, like, fake ass, you know? Like, they just look so weird. There's, like, big hazel, like, bright hazel eyes, like, very saturated hazel eyes. And like their eyes themselves were like also really big. They looked the same. That's like the thing that struck me as weird is that they looked exactly the same. Like they had the same haircut. They had the same highlights and hair color. And they had the same eyes and like the same face and like the same hair. Like I'm sure they're not identical twins because one was like shorter than the other one, which was really weird.
15:08
and also i know they weren't twins because of how they were behaving because it was that was also weird like i don't want to say they look like aliens but you like they look like aliens i was also like really tired when this happened so maybe i was just like tired on that on that sleepy trip but like i don't know man like they like walked around like a lamppost
15:33
as if it just learned how to walk because they were so stiff. Walking like they just learned how to move. They walked in and looked around the mall. They looked around North Point, looked at the Spencers, and they were like, oh. And then they looked around and they were looking at normal stuff as if it was mind-boggling. These two women were so gobsmacked by everything. smaller one seemed like she was like acting like a child despite the fact they both looked at least 25 that was like an adult face that wasn't like a chill like a children you know like it was an adult i was like trying to do my job even though just because i mean i think my boss would have been yelling at me if i was staring at them and saying nothing so like i was like hey uh welcome if you have any questions you know you can let me know
16:30
And the short one, like, looks at the taller one, like, as if she needs, like, approval to talk to me. And then the tall one, like, slowly nods her head at me, just, like, with the most, like, blank expression on her face, and then, like, tries to wave her hand. But, like, again, they just completely fail at being normal because she doesn't wave her wrist. She waves, like, her whole arm with like a flat palm like it looked they looked like robots they looked like like an ai place inside a dead body honestly like it was really really weird and she like turns back and gives a small one like a really warm and encouraging nod then you just walk around the cafe and like look at the cups
17:26
and they look at the sign, and they look at me. I did not like when they looked at me. The short one would often point around and just seem to quietly ask the taller one, like, what day?
17:42
Oh, what's that? And then the taller one would just get down and whisper something to her.
17:47
This was not no language I ever heard. It was like if you just put stuff into a text-to-speech and just...
17:56
did that, and there was, like, a bunch of, uh, and, uh, like, you know, like, it was really weird. I was like, dude, kick these two women out of here. Like, they're just being, like, even if they're doing nothing, like, technically wrong, like, at the end, up until that point, they were, like, breaking apart, like, they were breaking apart, like, like, merchandise. Yeah, sorry, I, um, I got a little sick. um anyways so she puts a cup on the counter and then she's like frequently looking at like i'm just gonna say her sister or something she like looks at me and tries to like smile but like it was just like weird i know i keep saying it was like how someone who's like never smiled ever
18:51
would like try to smile. Oh, I know that smile. Luke gives it to me all the time.
18:57
I don't know what Ray's talking about. Whatever, Garrett. Please, please go.
19:02
She just said you have an ugly mug. Okay, no, I didn't mean he had an ugly mug. I'm just saying he doesn't smile enough that it feels natural for him, and I think he should smile more. You have an ugly mug to win. That's basically what she said. Go on, caller.
19:17
I give her the cup, and she, like, slowly nods ahead.
19:21
And does her windshield wiper wave, you know, like the car, like how I'd be in a car and turning on the waddle out of the store again because they don't know how to walk. And I don't know. I've like told this story to people and they're like.
19:43
Get to it, Garrett. We got to go to ads. What? What?
19:49
We appreciate it, man, but we've got to wrap it up. I mean, that's a spooky story, Garrett.
19:54
And if you have any spooky stories you want to tell, you can call us here at 334-844-9345. Once again, that's 334-844-9345. We'll be right back with your favorite scary show, Overnight Radio Hour. Thank you, Garrett, for calling in. He's already gone.
20:17
To walk around in public. If they can't speak English, just talk louder. There's a lot of different advice around when it comes to going abroad. In their country, all the food tastes like chicken, except the chicken. If you pick up another man's dry cleaning, then you have to marry his daughter. When you meet somebody on the street, step on their foot. It's a greeting. But use your common sense and get to know about a place before you go. The U.S. Department of State can help with a free brochure full of sensible information every American should know before they go abroad. Simply write to Americans Abroad, Pueblo, Colorado, 81009.
20:56
That's Americans Abroad, Pueblo, Colorado, 81009. Don't ever tell a cab driver where you're going.
21:04
Always eat with your mouth wide open.
21:07
The U.S. Department of State. Know before you go.
21:16
It's Sox season in Boston. You heard that right. Marcelo Maia and Roman Anthony are hot, and so are all the ladies at McMorgan's with Adala Guinness. Want to bring the family? No problem. The kids eat free when the Red Sox win. With free popcorn for the table, it's going to be a great time for the whole family. Oh, did I mention any kid under 12 eats free when the Sox win? Parents, don't worry. We've got something for everyone. $1 tap beers for Pa and $5 mogs for Ma. Almost makes those little rugrats tolerable. Come on down to Mick Morgan's Pub today. Take advantage of our great deals.
22:00
And welcome back. You're back listening to the Overnight Radio Hour on WGLE 91.1 FM. I am one of your hosts, Ray. And I am the other one of your hosts, Luke Adams. And again, you're listening to the scariest show on this side of the coast.
22:20
Yeah, so you've got to be excited. I'm getting there. That last drawer was kind of spooky.
22:26
Yeah. Reminder of those who didn't listen. We first heard Sam talk about a spooky animatronic that moves on its own. And then we heard Garrett call in talking about two people that maybe kind of look like aliens coming into the store. They could just be North Point people.
22:45
You know the types. North Point people? There's that one store there. And there's all those people who hang out there. What, goths?
22:55
No. So they're blonde.
22:58
My gods. I'm not trying to be mean, but you know what I'm talking about.
23:05
Do I?
23:06
Right, come on, the store. The one that always smells bad. That smells bad? Jitterbug? No, it... Don't make me say it.
23:18
What store?
23:20
It's like that video rental store. It's mad weird in there.
23:24
They're those types. Analog static? Yes.
23:30
Yes.
23:31
Obviously. The people at analog static, what, they're just nerds trying to, you know... I know, but they're weird. I mean, this could just be two analog static people waltzing about, getting a coffee, being weird.
23:47
It's North Point. People are weird all the time. Yeah, but do they look the exact same? Have the exact same hair, eyes? They don't blink? I mean, that's weird. Garrett, you know, he may have, you know, judged a bit of the story, but I think that's a real story. I mean, they could be from, like, I don't know. There's a country where they don't blink, right? There's a country where they don't blink? Like the climate, you know? It's like they don't... Luke, humans have to blink.
24:15
I'm just saying, what's more plausible? Is that there's a climate up there that people don't have to blink? Or that there's... there's what? There's people walking around, they're not real people... I just think... He never said they weren't real people. Maybe they were just trying really hard to be people.
24:35
You know? What do you mean? Well, like... I mean, he said that they looked exactly the same and they kind of acted weird. Maybe they're, like, learning how to be human.
24:45
Like, what if an alien came down? Like, they wouldn't know anything about, you know, the world we live in. An alien ordering a coffee at North Point? It's Brackensville.
24:57
Luke.
24:58
We have two things, three things, really, at Brackensville. We have loud politicians, okay? We got slow-talking coffee drinkers, and we got weirdos. Hey, we got a barbecue! in the barbecue four wow rackinsville has four things here i just think if they're in a trillion years there are aliens out there why come here why go to north point of all places heaven forbid there are humans who don't even go to a north point i just what i go to north point
25:39
Okay, um, there are other humans, some, of us. Luke, you also go to North Point.
25:49
I go for one thing, and one thing only, and that doesn't count, and that's not fair to bring up.
25:55
You know what I'm talking about is... Are we trying to say we're all cool on air?
26:00
No, I'm just asking you. You think there's people in their mothership, there's a big closet, and it's full of different human skins in there? I'm not saying they're aliens. I'm just saying that there's other explanations to this story than just what? They had a disorder of some sort? That's rude.
26:23
Maybe they're, like I said, they're from across the pond where you don't want to blink. I read that somewhere, I promise you. Where'd you read that? The library. Which library? The public one. You don't even have a card. I so do have a card, actually. I asked you to go to the library like a week ago and you said you didn't have a card. Yeah, because I lost it, like, since then.
26:41
Did you not want to go to the library with me? No, I lost it.
26:45
Where did you lose it? The library.
26:49
Luke...
26:50
And they won't let me go in to look for it because I lost it there. They would let you get another library card. They just didn't want to go to the library with me, Luke. She was so rude. Who? The librarian. Well, you know, I think that Gary had a very wonderful story and so did Sam. And, you know, I think we could think about Garrett's story as just like a seed of what could happen. You know, sometimes we just have moments in our life that don't make sense.
27:19
I'm not saying it's aliens. I'm not saying it's ghosts for Sams. I'm just saying that these things don't make sense. And we try to make sense of our world. And I think this is what this is about. It's coming together to make sense of the world we live in. I feel like sometimes we're just too, you know, caught up in our own little bubbles.
27:36
That's for sure. Yeah, that is for sure.
27:41
Whatever.
27:42
Riveting stuff going on here on the Overnight Radio Hour. If you're all tuning in, I hope you're enjoying our first ever show. It's going tremendously. I think it's going great.
28:02
There's a disease in business today we might call spiritual schizophrenia. You see it in individuals who apply one code of conduct in their personal affairs and a quite different one in business or government. The belief seems to be that we are less responsible as individuals when we make business decisions, that business has a different code.
28:23
When you think about it, that doesn't make sense. Profits are not the only gauge of business success.
28:29
Business doesn't change the priority of values.
28:32
We are born to the community of man first. The others are secondary allegiances.
28:38
Make your personal morality work where you work and see the difference.
28:42
The community of man, God's club. Be an active member. This message has been brought to you by Religion in American Life in cooperation with this station.
29:07
Hi, it's Jerry Baskin. Are you tired of the potholes, the rust, the same old boring hoop-lop? Then I'd like me, Jerry, for Brackensville City Council District 4.
29:23
Together, we can unseat the nefarious John Robin and his cronies from our city's royal palace. If you're wanting more, then choose Jerry for District 4. Your life depends on it.
29:54
And welcome back, dear listeners. You're listening to the spookiest and scariest show, The Overnight Radio Hour. I'm your host, Rae. And I'm your host, Luke. And very excitingly, it looks like we have our first real caller. Yeah.
30:09
How's it going, man? What's your name? Hey. Hey.
30:15
My name is David. How you doing, David?
30:21
I'm okay.
30:22
How are you?
30:23
I'm doing pretty good right now, actually, David. Thank you for asking. Okay.
30:30
I remember you came in the video store, and you told me you had a podcast or something. It's a radio show. It says it was about, like, spooks and scares.
30:40
And so I thought I'd listen, and I was listening for a bit, and then I got, it was, I was all right. And so I decided to call because I remembered that I actually encountered something really scary. Oh, let's get into it then. Okay, let me remember.
30:59
When I was still in elementary school, me and my family spent all summer at my great-uncle's house. And we slept in the same room, all of us, except for my sister who'd sleep on the bed in the living room.
31:12
My great-uncle would sleep in his own room, you know, because it was his house. The first day there was pretty normal, just kind of like everything else.
31:22
Every other time we visited, we went to the beach, we ate pizza, and then we all went to bed around 10 p.m.
31:30
And then around 4 a.m., I suddenly woke up because I heard someone or something throwing things around in the kitchen, like plastic cups, plastic containers, all that.
31:42
And the door was open, so I could see the light kind of creeping through from the kitchen. So I assumed that somebody was in there. And so I wanted to see who it was and what was going on. So I got up and, uh, I kind of wanted, I started approaching the kitchen and it kind of seemed off at first because I thought it was a dream. Um, but not like one of the dreams where, um, I go to school and I'm green, but like another, one of the dreams were, um, it's like, I, I go to school and I'm like a slightly different shade of
32:20
If that makes sense. Very like when you have a dream that's real but normal feeling and not like fantastical.
32:28
If that makes sense. I guess it does.
32:32
Have you ever had dreams like that?
32:34
I've had a few dreams. Yeah, sort of. Sort of. Okay.
32:38
Maybe not the green thing. It could be blue. Purple. Purple.
32:46
I don't know. Yeah. I'm sorry. No, I got it. I mean, is the dream the weird thing? Oh, yes.
32:56
It was a strange dream. It was a green dream. Or, no, it wasn't a green dream.
33:01
It was like a green dream?
33:02
It was like a green dream, almost. Okay.
33:06
And, you know, I kind of did the normal thing that you do when you think you're lucid dreaming. Okay.
33:13
I had seen an advertisement on TV for these lucid dream goggles, but I thought that I could single-handedly manifest a lucid dream. So I thought that's what was happening, was I had single-handedly manifested a lucid dream. And so I tried to like... Yeah.
33:30
Okay. Have you ever lucid dreamed?
33:34
You know what? I can't say that I have. You know? At the video store, they sell these lucid dream goggles.
33:42
I... I guess I haven't explored analog static that much to see them.
33:48
Oh, I mean, you could have bought some earlier. I mean, maybe if I wanted to, which I don't.
33:58
Okay.
34:01
So is the lucid dream the weird part of the story? No, no, no, no, no. I thought it was. That's the crazy part is I thought it was a dream, so I thought I could shoot lightning bolts from my fingertips. Um, or I at least tried, um, but nothing happened. And so I was like, probably not a dream. And I also like, wasn't green. I was normal color. And so it was probably normal. Um, and so I wasn't, it turns out I wasn't dreaming.
34:32
Um, and my father wasn't in his bed, but I didn't really care. Cause I thought he was in the bathroom and also, you know,
34:41
I don't really think about that stuff very often. But my great uncle was pretty old and usually had a hard time sleeping.
34:50
And he'd get really mad when we woke him up. And so I thought he was in the kitchen scrounging around to get some water. And so I called out to him as if he was there to kind of tell him that he woke me up because I was a little mad.
35:06
I think I was actually in the process of manifesting a lucid dream before I was awoken. And so my mind was unbalanced and I couldn't elucid dream.
35:17
But to my surprise, when I actually got there, the room was empty and there was no one in there, but the light was on and the fridge was open and the cabinets were open and it was a mess in there.
35:33
You'd think a little rodent got in and started scavenging around, but there was no sign of any... human-sized creature, if that makes sense.
35:47
Yeah.
35:49
And so I was just thinking that I was really confused. I'm going to be really honest.
35:57
But upon glancing to my right, I saw something, some sort of creature that I will never forget.
36:11
And I know that you're going to laugh at me, and you're going to think that this is some sort of publicity stunt, but it's not. It's real.
36:23
I'll believe you. Okay, because I was terrified, but he was even more terrified.
36:34
Okay, he? Mm-hmm. The gnome.
36:42
Oh. Gnome. Yep.
36:45
You saw a gnome? Mm-hmm.
36:47
Sure did. Like red? Small little guy. Pointy hat? About 30 centimeters tall, pointy hat, beard.
36:55
Wow, like the whole shebang. Yeah, overalls.
37:00
And he caused that ruckus in the kitchen, you think? Mm-hmm.
37:06
Yep. Wow. I believe so. I'm impressed on how he got up to the cabinets.
37:10
You know, I didn't even think about that. You know, if he's only about 30 centimeters, how does he get up there? It makes you wonder. Maybe he's got friends was my first thought. But to be fair, I was pretty in the moment, and I couldn't really think of, I couldn't even really entertain what I was seeing, let alone entertain the possibility that he had friends.
37:31
And my initial thought was like, you know, he's going to hurt me, you know? Like, in hindsight, you might laugh and say, well, he's 30 centimeters tall. How can he hurt you? But especially if you're entertaining this possibility where you had friends, a bunch of little guys when in a big group can hurt you. And so I did what I did every time I got scared and, uh, I pretended to faint in the kitchen. And so I fell down and, uh, I kept my eyes closed, um, which is usually worked for me before, but sometimes it, it hasn't.
38:05
Um, And so I did that, and I opened my eyes after just a couple seconds of fainting because it's a pretty effective strategy. And so most of the time when you do it, whatever threat is being posed to you is usually gone within a matter of, on average, probably 10 to 20 seconds, but I'm pretty good at it. I've heard goats use that same method as well.
38:30
Well, I'm a human. I didn't say you were a goat, David.
38:38
Well, I don't understand what that has to do with anything.
38:41
Don't... Don't worry about it. So, this gnome, he was gone upon your awakening? Yeah, he was just gone. I had no idea where he went. And... What I saw was arguably even stranger.
39:02
What did you see?
39:04
Well, I'm glad you asked. What I saw...
39:08
was a strange, colorful tunnel all around me. Vibrant colors, bright colors, everywhere.
39:16
Oh? You ever played Mario Kart? Many times.
39:22
Man Look played this weekend. I hate that track.
39:26
Well, that's wrong. But it was like that, but like everywhere. Around you? The walls and the ceiling. It was like Rainbow Road.
39:35
But like everywhere. And so being faced with this new threat, I pretended to faint again. And so I closed my eyes again. And then this time, I was worried that this threat was more abominable than the last one. And so I had my eyes closed for I think a good like 10 minutes. No, it was like one minute. But it felt like forever.
40:03
And imagine, like, what my brain is thinking because I can't see anything because my eyes are closed for my own safety. And I'm thinking that whatever's going on around me, I had no idea. If I saw a gnome and then I close my eyes and I wake up in a tunnel, what's next? When you opened your eyes again, were you out of the tunnel? Yeah, I was laying in my bed.
40:28
Oh. Have you, has this guy visited you since?
40:37
Um, I honestly have no idea, because every time we were at my uncle's house after that, and I heard sounds from the kitchen, I was kind of too scared to investigate anymore. When you went back down to the kitchen that morning, did you see, like, the cabinets all open and closed like they were the night before? Um...
40:57
I don't know. I'm pretty sure I blocked out that whole trip from my memory. And not to be like that guy, but I'm pretty sure your little spooks podcast or whatever kind of resurfaced that and dug it from the depths of my memory, which I had worked so hard to kind of suppress.
41:18
This was the most terrifying thing you've ever experienced?
41:23
Yeah. I don't know why you're...
41:26
Your tone sounds like you don't believe me. No, no, I believe you. It sounds silly. I know it sounds silly. I'm not saying it doesn't sound silly. I wasn't saying that it was silly. But if you wake, if you go to your kitchen, like I know gnomes aren't intentionally like frightening, but if you go to your kitchen and there's a 30 centimeter tall man scrounging around, that's a bit of a terrifying prospect. I was just... And if you had been in my shoes, I'm sure you would have well one you wouldn't have lived to tell the tale because i doubt that you would have had the intuition to think of the paint but i don't know i do not do not insult my survival instincts so uh... well i know you probably wouldn't have made a very good choice because you went to the radio store and you saw that pickman three was on sale and you didn't buy it some of us don't like pickman this is getting too personal okay okay
