Spooky Adventures: Practical Magic, Haunted Trains, and Cemetery Tours

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,320
Yeah, it's pretty fun to hang out in cemeteries.

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,700
Like I said, if you were to look up old pictures, there's a really old picture online,

3
00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:13,120
of Riverview from, I want to say, like the late 1800s, early 1800s of a family

4
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:14,120
pic-picking there.

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,520
So the properties were designed for it.

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,320
So it's nice to see people admiring and appreciating the nature of the space.

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:21,320
It's what we want.

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:22,320
Yeah.

9
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:23,720
Like, it doesn't always have to be a creepy thing.

10
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,320
Like, ooh, we're going to the cemetery.

11
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:27,320
We're going to do a stay-on.

12
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:28,320
No, no, no.

13
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:29,320
It's beautiful.

14
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,320
[Music]

15
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,320
Hi, Caitlyn.

16
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:37,320
Hi, Cassie.

17
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,320
Hi, creepy people.

18
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:40,320
Hello.

19
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:51,240
If you're new to our creepy corner of the world, this is PNW, Haunts and Homicides, where

20
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:58,720
we chat about true crime, the paranormal, and all things spooky in the Pacific Northwest.

21
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,720
What we do, we also, we keep forgetting the PNW if ya nasty.

22
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:04,720
Oh.

23
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,720
Okay, well, I'll just say that.

24
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,720
Okay, editors fix this.

25
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,720
I love being a passenger princess.

26
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:13,720
[Laughter]

27
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,720
PNW, if ya nasty.

28
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:17,720
Oh, yeah.

29
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:18,720
Yeah.

30
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,720
We also do a tarot reading at the end of every episode.

31
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,720
We're a little bit of deeper insight into our topic.

32
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,720
Like pumpkin butts.

33
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:30,720
Ooh.

34
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,720
Are we talking about pumpkin booties today?

35
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:34,720
Ooh.

36
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,720
Sexy little pumpkin booties?

37
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,720
I, you're going to have to tell me.

38
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,720
For those of you that aren't watching the video, I have a little pumpkin bootie pen on my

39
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:45,720
mic.

40
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:46,720
So.

41
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:47,720
They are cheetahs.

42
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:48,720
That's where that's coming from.

43
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,720
And I have McGruff.

44
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,720
He's not quite at the right angle in this shot.

45
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:54,720
I'm now realizing.

46
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:55,720
Oh, no, yeah.

47
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,720
But he's there.

48
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:58,720
He takes a bite out of crime.

49
00:01:58,720 --> 00:01:59,720
Is that his slogan?

50
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:00,720
Or is that his own one?

51
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:01,720
That he does.

52
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:02,720
Yeah.

53
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,720
Yeah, I think that's exactly what it says on the pen.

54
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:05,720
Yeah.

55
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:06,720
It's too small for me to read from him.

56
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:07,720
Yeah.

57
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:08,720
Well, that's fair.

58
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,720
Well, unfortunately today is not about pumpkin booties, but we do have some fun stuff to

59
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:14,720
talk about.

60
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,720
Like, well, in first, we're just, we're going to do a little something fun.

61
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:19,720
Okay.

62
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,720
And we're going to do some Patreon shout out.

63
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:22,720
Yay.

64
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:23,720
Yeah.

65
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,720
So we have two new tarot biddies at the $5 tier.

66
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:28,720
Jeannie.

67
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,720
Who we know from Creepy People Chronicles.

68
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,720
She wrote us in a story.

69
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,720
And then she was like, I am going to subscribe.

70
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:40,720
Yes.

71
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,720
Love that for you, Jeannie.

72
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,720
Thank you, Jeannie.

73
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:45,720
We loved your story.

74
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:50,720
We loved your follow up email that will probably read some of it on the next Creepy

75
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,720
people Chronicles.

76
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,720
So stay tuned for that.

77
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,720
And we also have Maria at the tarot biddies tier.

78
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,720
Hi Maria.

79
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:01,720
Welcome.

80
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:02,720
Do you do tarot?

81
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,720
You have to let us know.

82
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:11,720
Also, Maria, it's occurring to me that we may need your updated mailing address.

83
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,720
So not to dox anyone, but if you could update your profile on Patreon.

84
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:17,720
If you want to.

85
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:18,720
Yeah.

86
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:19,720
So I just want to ask you a question.

87
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:20,720
Some people opt out of they don't want mail.

88
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,720
There is just address included.

89
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:22,720
It's just not.

90
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,720
I'm not able to get things to go to there.

91
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:27,720
Oh, okay.

92
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:28,720
Maria.

93
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:35,720
I did notice though, there are a couple of our Patreon members that don't have addresses.

94
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,720
And they.

95
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:37,720
Yeah.

96
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,720
They click the little opt out thing, which is fine.

97
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:44,720
But if you ever want to change your mind, you'll have to send us a little message and let us know that you change your mind.

98
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,720
Because I don't know if Patreon will let us know.

99
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,720
Yeah, they're really not great about that.

100
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:50,720
So I'm being honest.

101
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:51,720
Public service announcement.

102
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:52,720
Patreon service announcement.

103
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:53,720
Oh, I really like that.

104
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:54,720
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

105
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,720
No, they really don't let anyone know about anything.

106
00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,720
Yeah.

107
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:00,720
That's important.

108
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,720
They do send us a lot of newsletters.

109
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:04,720
Yes.

110
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:12,720
So if you want to, you know, if you have something to say, if you need to say something to us, there is a message button on Patreon that you can send us a little pressure message.

111
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,720
You also have access to us via email.

112
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,720
And our website even lets you leave voicemails.

113
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,720
Yes.

114
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,720
We need more freaking voicemail stories.

115
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:27,720
I know.

116
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:28,720
Those were really fun.

117
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,720
I really want to know those, you guys.

118
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,720
So if you can, if you have a story, we would love to hear it.

119
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:35,720
Yeah.

120
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,720
And you can let us know whether or not you want us to use the audio, the airship meeting.

121
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:40,720
Yeah.

122
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,720
If you just prefer telling us a story that way, that's okay.

123
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,720
And if you don't want to see us, the audio just, you know, let us know that.

124
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,720
That's totally okay.

125
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:51,720
We're here for you.

126
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,720
We'll do pretty much whatever you want.

127
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:54,720
Yeah.

128
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:55,720
It's true.

129
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:56,720
Except for feet picks.

130
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,720
Oh, like if you're on Patreon, you get our feet though.

131
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,720
We're on the same wavelength.

132
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:01,720
No free feet.

133
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,720
Let me see one more thing about Jeannie.

134
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,720
She paid for the whole year.

135
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,720
So she is stuck with us.

136
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,720
Oh, you're a year.

137
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,720
Oh, committed.

138
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,720
You know who else is so committed.

139
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,720
Oh, Clint.

140
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,720
Oh, yeah, committed Clint.

141
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:21,720
Committed Clint.

142
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:22,720
Not committed in the bad way.

143
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:23,720
Right.

144
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:24,720
Right.

145
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:25,720
Right.

146
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,720
No, just like commit meant also that.

147
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:28,720
No, you know what?

148
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:29,720
Clint.

149
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:38,720
He has subscribed at the creepy people to your for a whole last year.

150
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,720
A whole last lot of us.

151
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:42,720
Mm hmm.

152
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,720
For better or for worse.

153
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,720
Commit meant Clint.

154
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:50,720
Thank you guys.

155
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:58,720
We appreciate everyone who helped support us because it helps tremendously in the production of this podcast.

156
00:05:58,720 --> 00:05:59,720
Yeah.

157
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,720
Which we need help with.

158
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:02,720
Yeah.

159
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,720
Mama needs a new boom arm.

160
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:05,720
Yeah.

161
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:06,720
Yeah.

162
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:07,720
We do.

163
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:08,720
We just got some very exciting equipment.

164
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:09,720
I don't even want to tell them we won't.

165
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:10,720
We're not going to tell them.

166
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:11,720
Yeah.

167
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:12,720
It's a surprise.

168
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:13,720
But it's exciting.

169
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:14,720
It was expensive.

170
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:15,720
Thank you for your help.

171
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:16,720
Yeah.

172
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:26,720
So today we're going to talk about some spooky fun things to do in the Pacific Northwest.

173
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,720
That's the thing I like to do.

174
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:29,720
This is our third year now of doing it.

175
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:35,720
I just like to tell you about the fact that you're going to be able to do this.

176
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:43,720
I like to tell you about fun like Halloweeny's, these, these, these things that you can do right here in the Pacific Northwest.

177
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:44,720
Yeah.

178
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:53,720
And we're going to start off with something in Hood River, which I had saved since we did the Hood River episode.

179
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:54,720
Okay.

180
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,720
That's what I found this and it seems really fucking cool.

181
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,720
Oh, I'm excited.

182
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,720
They have a Hood River Halloween train ride.

183
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,720
That sounds so cool.

184
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,720
It sounds so cute and quaint.

185
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:08,720
Yes.

186
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,720
Oh, we love anything quaint.

187
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:12,720
Yes, we do.

188
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,720
It is Mount Hood Railroad's Phantom of the Rail.

189
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:17,720
Oh.

190
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:22,720
And they're doing it this year on October 25th and 26th.

191
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,720
So you still have time if there's tickets left, you'll have to go see.

192
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:26,720
Okay.

193
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,720
My funny typo here was I wrote the 25th and the 265th.

194
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,720
Oh, not a date in October.

195
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:36,720
Sure isn't.

196
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,720
But you know, I applaud the effort.

197
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:47,720
She loves spooky season so much she was trying to add another 200-ish days.

198
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:48,720
To October.

199
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:49,720
Yeah.

200
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,720
I mean, all year of October, let's do this.

201
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,720
Let's do this.

202
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,720
They're also doing the train ride on the 30th and 31st.

203
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,720
They have like two, four days, sorry, four days of the spooky train ride.

204
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,720
Well, it's like two weekends.

205
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:05,720
Yeah.

206
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,720
So two days on two separate weekends.

207
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:15,720
I was going to ask because I thought it was kind of interesting that you would do the 25th and the 26th.

208
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,720
But all halos eve.

209
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:24,720
But that is the reason I didn't say weekends is because the 30th and 31st are Wednesday Thursday.

210
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,720
Yeah, I think the 25th and 26th are Fridays out of the day.

211
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,720
So you have our chance.

212
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:31,720
Yeah.

213
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:37,720
And I didn't really see any specific info on what actually happens this year on the train ride.

214
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,720
But I found a traveloregon.com article from 2022 or 23.

215
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,720
It said 22 updated in 2023.

216
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:47,720
Oh, interesting.

217
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,720
So I assume it's from 2022.

218
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,720
Yeah.

219
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:58,720
That says it's a night ride through the forest with Halloween themed narration.

220
00:08:58,720 --> 00:08:59,720
Spooky.

221
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:00,720
I know.

222
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:06,720
And this particular year, 2022 had a thriller flash dance performance.

223
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,720
And it sounded like that was at not like in the train itself.

224
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,720
But they made a stop at like a creepy factory area.

225
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,720
And they did like a flash dance.

226
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,720
Yes, because you have to have the appropriate backdrop.

227
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:20,720
Yeah.

228
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,720
And the appropriate amount of space.

229
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,720
Right.

230
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:24,720
Right.

231
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,720
But you know, the move in the shaken.

232
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,720
I love how this is my thriller, Dan.

233
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,720
You guys, that's how it's done.

234
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:33,720
Right.

235
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:34,720
Something.

236
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,720
A derivative of that, if you will.

237
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,720
I don't have the appropriate space.

238
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:40,720
Yeah.

239
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:41,720
So no, that's true.

240
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,720
This is not the proper acoustics.

241
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,720
You didn't make this request.

242
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,720
I thought you were going to go the other way.

243
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,720
We don't have room for the activities.

244
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,720
And that's, I mean, yes, that is what he is saying.

245
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,720
You know, don't have the space.

246
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:58,720
Don't have the.

247
00:09:58,720 --> 00:09:59,720
Yeah, just things aren't right.

248
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,720
No, only good for podcasting.

249
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:02,720
So they still at a desk.

250
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:03,720
Right.

251
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,720
Which is what we're doing.

252
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,720
They do also have food and drink available for pre-purchase.

253
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,720
I heard food and drink food and drink.

254
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:19,720
And the Halloween train contains content that is geared toward mature audiences.

255
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,720
Writer discretion is advised.

256
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:23,720
Free feet.

257
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,720
Free spooky feet.

258
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:27,720
Actually, you have to pay us.

259
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:28,720
It's not free.

260
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:29,720
But.

261
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:30,720
Well, right.

262
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:31,720
But once you're on the right.

263
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:32,720
Right.

264
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:33,720
The theater free.

265
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:34,720
The spooky feet are free.

266
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:35,720
Okay.

267
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:36,720
They do recommend 13 and up.

268
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:37,720
Okay.

269
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:42,720
They also have a VIP option, which is called poison.

270
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:43,720
It's called poison.

271
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:44,720
RIP.

272
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,720
Which I don't really want to get poison on a train, but no.

273
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,720
This sounds like good poison because it involves booze.

274
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,720
Oh, delicious.

275
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:57,720
So you get to ride in a luxury car with a private bartender.

276
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:58,720
Ooh.

277
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,720
And it comes with complimentary snacky and a non-alcoholic beverage.

278
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,720
So you can have a normal drinky along with your poison.

279
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,720
Something to wet your whistle.

280
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,720
What are we just talking about that?

281
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:14,720
Yeah.

282
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,720
And I was like, why do you sound like my grandpa?

283
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,720
I am a dad slash grandpa on the inside.

284
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:22,720
Yeah.

285
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:23,720
Yeah.

286
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:24,720
For sure.

287
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,720
Additional food and beverage available for purchase.

288
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:27,720
Okay.

289
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,720
So that's all I have about the train.

290
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:31,720
It looks really fun.

291
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:36,720
I would love to do it, but I get like kind of motion sick.

292
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,720
So I'm not sure how I would take a train ride.

293
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,720
I feel like trains are pretty low impact.

294
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:48,720
I get cars sick if I try to read a long text message in a car.

295
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,720
And I feel like I generally do okay on trains.

296
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:52,720
I don't know.

297
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,720
I've been on the max and I just, I get sick on the max.

298
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,720
And if I'm facing forward, it's better.

299
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:02,720
I feel like it's a more, I feel like it's a more constant motion.

300
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,720
Facing in the correct direction is very important.

301
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:11,720
I will say don't ever for the love of God, get on the chunnel.

302
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,720
Going from Paris to London.

303
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:20,720
I won't hungover a red wine hangover.

304
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,720
And then pick the seat faces the opposite way of the direction you're traveling.

305
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,720
Don't do that.

306
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,720
Yeah, I feel like I'm getting sick like thinking about that.

307
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:30,720
Yeah.

308
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,720
No, I mean, I think I am also having PTSD.

309
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,720
I mean, I'm just saying, you know, not me personally, just like a friend, you know,

310
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,720
I think I'm the friend.

311
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:51,720
Moral of the story is maybe we won't get on a train or we'll have to test it out before we pay money to go on the spancy.

312
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,720
Yeah, yeah, we'll see.

313
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,720
Definitely make sure you get it settled.

314
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:57,720
Tum-tum.

315
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:58,720
Yeah.

316
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,720
Do you want to move on to something really fun?

317
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,720
I just learned about, okay, this is exciting.

318
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,720
It's not none of this is scary, you guys.

319
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,720
This is spooky fun.

320
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,720
Okay, I've been lied to before.

321
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,720
Okay, trust me.

322
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,720
I've been hurt before.

323
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,720
Have you seen practical magic?

324
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,720
Obviously, one of our favorite movies.

325
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:30,720
Love fucking practical magic and I learned something very recently that I had no idea about.

326
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,720
I was so fucking excited, you guys.

327
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,720
I have to take a trick. I'm so excited.

328
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,720
Oh my god. Well, don't leave us hanging.

329
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:44,720
The downtown scenes and practical magic were filmed in a little seaside town called Coupeville, Washington.

330
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,720
On Whidby Island.

331
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:49,720
Yeah.

332
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,720
Did you know this?

333
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:52,720
I did.

334
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,720
Did you find this out this year like me or did you already know?

335
00:13:55,720 --> 00:14:00,720
I don't think I previously knew. I think I stumbled upon this a few weeks ago.

336
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,720
This popped up in my Google, you know, it has like suggestions of things of like,

337
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,720
articles to click and a practical magic and I was like, no, fucking way.

338
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,720
I think that's exactly what happened to me too.

339
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:13,720
It's so funny.

340
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,720
I wonder how many other people this happened to, but.

341
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,720
Well, I will say.

342
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,720
Don't say anything because that's in my episode.

343
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,720
You don't even know what it was going to say.

344
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:24,720
Okay.

345
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,720
Oh, I went to Ravens manor.

346
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:27,720
Oh, okay.

347
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,720
Last night.

348
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:38,720
We went for Chris's birthday to celebrate for also his mom and his brother, some fun life events that are going on for them.

349
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,720
And yeah, so we went to Ravensmanor.

350
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,720
We did the photo booth.

351
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:46,720
Oh, fun.

352
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:52,720
I haven't done the photo booth yet because it was like pretty new when we went last and then we forgot about it.

353
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,720
Oh, yeah, I specifically told Chris.

354
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,720
I was like, don't.

355
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,720
Yeah, I want to do that.

356
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:00,720
We did that.

357
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,720
And then also there is a tequila tasting experience.

358
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:11,720
Oh, named, I don't know, something about Sanderson sisters...

359
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,720
Oh, like my shirt.

360
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,720
Why would they name the tequila after the Sanderson sisters?

361
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,720
Midnight Margaritas.

362
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:21,720
That's a different movie.

363
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,720
No, but I feel like it's just a vibe.

364
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:25,720
But like, why wouldn't they name it?

365
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:26,720
All of the witchy.

366
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,720
Like, I don't know.

367
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,720
Sanderson sisters.

368
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,720
And yeah, it just, they took all of the witchy news and they're just like.

369
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,720
And they just smashed it together and like a play dough ball of a bunch of different colors.

370
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,720
They brought it out to us.

371
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:46,720
And I do have several short fun video clips and some photos.

372
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,720
We're going to put something together.

373
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,720
It's so cute.

374
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:52,720
Sure.

375
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:53,720
What's the people?

376
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:54,720
So cute.

377
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:55,720
Okay.

378
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:56,720
I'm so sorry.

379
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:57,720
But bothers me now though that they named it Sanderson sisters.

380
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:58,720
Yeah.

381
00:15:58,720 --> 00:15:59,720
I know I was like, I'm so excited.

382
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,720
I was in the, it's funny though that I'm wearing the shirt.

383
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:03,720
Yeah.

384
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:04,720
It all connects.

385
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,720
It all connects.

386
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,720
It all circles back.

387
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,720
It's back to real practical magic and not the Sanders and sisters.

388
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,720
We are, what is their name?

389
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:16,720
What's their last name in there?

390
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:17,720
Oh God.

391
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:18,720
Okay.

392
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:19,720
All right.

393
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:20,720
Who knows.

394
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:21,720
Typing.

395
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:22,720
Oh, it's.

396
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:23,720
Owens.

397
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:24,720
Owens.

398
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:25,720
Owens.

399
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:26,720
Yeah.

400
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:27,720
Yeah.

401
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:28,720
Okay.

402
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,720
Back to the.

403
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:30,720
Owens.

404
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:31,720
Sisters.

405
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:36,720
So all of the buildings in this little seaside town were painted white for the filming of practical magic.

406
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,720
Oh, that's interesting.

407
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:39,720
I know.

408
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,720
But they have since repainted them back to their original colors.

409
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,720
They're not all white, but I thought that was like kind of interesting.

410
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:47,720
Yeah.

411
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:52,400
I never really, I guess I never really noticed in the film that all of the buildings are white.

412
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,720
Are they supposed to be in the Pacific Northwest in the movie?

413
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,720
No, I think they're like on the East Coast.

414
00:16:58,720 --> 00:16:59,720
That's exactly.

415
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,720
I was like, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be like based on the East Coast, right?

416
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:10,720
I think the white buildings on the coast, that's way more like it.

417
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:18,720
To me, the white buildings along the Eastern seaboard, like it just thing.

418
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:19,720
Yeah.

419
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,720
I feel like it's not as much of a thing here on the West Coast.

420
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:27,720
So it makes sense because they're like, we're just trying to make this coast look like that coast.

421
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,720
You should Google real quick where it was set because I always just assumed it was East Coast because which is.

422
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:33,720
Yeah.

423
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,720
I never really thought about it being connected to Pacific Northwest.

424
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,720
So I wonder like why they shot it here.

425
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:39,720
New England.

426
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:40,720
Yeah, right.

427
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:41,720
Okay.

428
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,720
The next part, like slightly crushed my little creepy heart.

429
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:47,720
No.

430
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,720
Like when we talked about the Beetlejuice house.

431
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:51,720
Uh-oh.

432
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,720
So there is a lot of movie houses that I'm totally in love with.

433
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:56,720
Yeah.

434
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,720
But the freaking practical magic house is like my all time favorite.

435
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:01,720
I feel like it's everyone's.

436
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,720
Oh no, what happened to it?

437
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:11,720
The practical magic house was right here in the Pacific Northwest as well on San Juan Island.

438
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:12,720
Yeah.

439
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:13,720
Uh-huh.

440
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,720
Unfortunately, it was just a shell built for the filming.

441
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:18,720
Yeah.

442
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:19,720
And then taken down.

443
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,720
So it was not a real house.

444
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,720
Do we know which of the San Juan Islands?

445
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:24,720
It was on.

446
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:25,720
It was on San Juan Island.

447
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:26,720
Okay.

448
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:27,720
So I don't know.

449
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:40,720
I don't know.

450
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:41,720
There is a San Juan.

451
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,720
But there's like a strip of islands that are all categorized as like the San Juan Islands.

452
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:45,720
Like there's orcas.

453
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:46,720
Okay.

454
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:47,720
Yeah.

455
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:48,720
I was trying to like kind of Google it.

456
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:49,720
And I'll.

457
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:50,720
You're like.

458
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:51,720
Yeah.

459
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:52,720
Yeah.

460
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:53,720
Yeah.

461
00:18:53,720 --> 00:19:06,720
Yeah.

462
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,720
Although the interior of the home was also just a set.

463
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,720
It was modeled after a real home located on San Juan Valley Road.

464
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,720
So it was modeled after a real house, the interior.

465
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:15,720
I love it.

466
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,720
So while I was researching this, I actually stumbled upon a little blog by our friend Aimwwee in the

467
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:20,720
PNW.

468
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:21,720
Stop it.

469
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:22,720
I know.

470
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,720
So yeah, Aimee did a little blog post about this.

471
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:34,720
And they in her blog post, it says they just announced summer of 2024 that practical magic

472
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,720
to is being filmed.

473
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:37,720
Really?

474
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,720
It will keep updating her blog as things unfold.

475
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,720
So I will put a link to her blog in there.

476
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:45,720
So keep an eye on that.

477
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:50,720
And then there's more info and pictures because she actually goes to these places and takes

478
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,720
her selfs if you want to see pictures of that.

479
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:53,720
Go to her blog.

480
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:54,720
Check it out.

481
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:55,720
Super cute.

482
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,720
We're going to be doing some more field trips coming up now.

483
00:19:58,720 --> 00:19:59,720
Yeah.

484
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:00,720
Yeah.

485
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:01,720
Yeah.

486
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:02,720
So much free time.

487
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,720
Now that I'm done being a wedding coordinator.

488
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:05,720
Yeah.

489
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,720
We can go crazy.

490
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:08,720
Hit the 10.

491
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:09,720
Payton it right.

492
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:10,720
And or why?

493
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:11,720
To say.

494
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:19,720
This town actually still celebrates every year with a practically magic movie night.

495
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:20,720
Love it.

496
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:21,720
I know.

497
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:22,720
So fucking cute.

498
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:28,720
And then this year is October 24th, 25th and 26th.

499
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,720
And when I went to the site, I saw this adorable picture of one of the buildings.

500
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,720
It's aqua gifts in the photo.

501
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:41,720
And it has like the outline of the witches on the roof.

502
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:47,720
Like when they have their little umbrellas and they go to jump off the other picture on

503
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:48,720
the roof.

504
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:49,720
I'm so cute.

505
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:50,720
I'm teet cataloging.

506
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:51,720
Oh.

507
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:52,720
Very fitting for the day.

508
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:53,720
What do you sure it's say?

509
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:54,720
Oh, yeah.

510
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:55,720
I'm just here for the tea.

511
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:56,720
What's behind me?

512
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:57,720
Teet cup.

513
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:58,720
It's so weird.

514
00:20:58,720 --> 00:20:59,720
I know.

515
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:00,720
I know.

516
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:01,720
Maybe we'll talk about that later.

517
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,720
As soon as I came back in here, you're like, you changed into that.

518
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,720
And I was like, I mean, I'm wearing it.

519
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:08,720
I'm wearing it.

520
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:09,720
I don't.

521
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:10,720
I never know.

522
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,720
And I got all the way to my closet.

523
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:13,720
And it's on.

524
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:14,720
It's like.

525
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:24,720
I'm just going to be like, what's the point?

526
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:25,720
What's the point?

527
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:26,720
50 feet that way.

528
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,720
I just, I didn't want to come back and ask you like, what am I supposed to wear to be on theme?

529
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,720
And you don't even need to ask.

530
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:33,720
Yeah.

531
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,720
Telepathically or something with tea.

532
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:36,720
What did you say?

533
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:37,720
Did we say it out loud?

534
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:38,720
Just here for the tea.

535
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,720
Sometimes we forget you can't see us all the time.

536
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:41,720
We'll go to YouTube's.

537
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:42,720
Yes.

538
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,720
And all the paint trail.

539
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:51,720
So along with the screening of the movie practical magic, there is a costume contest, trivia

540
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,720
and filming anecdotes, music and popcorn.

541
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,720
And of course, midnight margaritas.

542
00:21:58,720 --> 00:21:59,720
Yeah.

543
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,720
They happen all night, not just at midnight.

544
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:02,720
And they do a bit of wine.

545
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:08,720
In case you don't want to margarita, but you should.

546
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,720
And then you can see the movie.

547
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:12,720
And then you can see the movie.

548
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,720
The town of course has fun spooky events that aren't movie related.

549
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,720
So if you want to just go there and hang out and do their other spooky stuff, you can.

550
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:19,720
Why?

551
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:20,720
Well, these are cool though.

552
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:26,720
They have a torch light parade and street dance on October 26th.

553
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,720
And the great coupeville pumpkin race on the 27th.

554
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,720
Oh, that's fun.

555
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,720
Like they just, what do they do?

556
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:35,720
Roll their pumpkins?

557
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:36,720
I don't know.

558
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,720
I'm guessing.

559
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,720
If you don't, you know, want to visit coupeville.

560
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:49,720
If it's like too cute for you, you can go to Hillsboro, which we've never heard of.

561
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:54,720
I know, which is a suburb of Portland kind of.

562
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:59,720
And there is a witchy shop there that we've talked about before.

563
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,720
We've had them on the pod through the veil.

564
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:07,720
And on 10 30, they're having a family friendly, Samhain celebration.

565
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:15,720
And they're doing smores around the fire, sipping cider and or hot cocoa while a kid friendly movie is playing.

566
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:16,720
Stop it.

567
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:17,720
Halloween movie.

568
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:23,720
So it's like, you know, or something kid friendly, which is perfect because if it's kid friendly, that means I can watch it.

569
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:31,720
But if you don't care about kids, if you don't have kids, you know, whatever, there is an adult, Samhain celebration on the 31st of Halloween.

570
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,720
Halloween ages 16 and up.

571
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:47,720
So their website says to join us around the fire while the veil is at its thinnest as we honor and communicate with question mark those who have crossed to the other side.

572
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:54,720
They will also be having a lantern dance performance by the PDX dance and witches.

573
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,720
That's so cool.

574
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,720
Oh, it sounds so fun.

575
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:06,720
So they also have an ancestor altar where you can bring photos or something to represent a loved one who has crossed over.

576
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:14,720
And they'll also have offerings and candles to lights if you want to go and do kind of like what this holiday is really about.

577
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,720
They have that option for you.

578
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:17,720
I love it.

579
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaking of through the veil, I went to one of their tea leaf reading classes the other day.

580
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:30,720
It was so freaking fun and cute and I got you get to keep your little tea cup that you know.

581
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:31,720
So pretty.

582
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:37,720
Mine has like bugs on it and stuff and I just thought it was so cute and appropriate for me.

583
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:38,720
Yes.

584
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:43,720
And the tea I got is called going no contact tea.

585
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,720
Shut the fuck up.

586
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:46,720
Do you want to sniff it?

587
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:47,720
Yeah.

588
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:48,720
Please sniff it.

589
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,720
It is.

590
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,720
Oh god, it's going to be like too small for me to read.

591
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,720
Okay, I you do it on the side there.

592
00:24:58,720 --> 00:24:59,720
Okay.

593
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,720
Oh, it smells so good.

594
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:08,720
Only the finest ingredients medium caffeine content.

595
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:21,720
It is black tea, orange and tangerine pieces, calendula, safflower, mary gold, sunflower petals.

596
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,720
And that's it.

597
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,720
Natural flavors caffeine.

598
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:26,720
So good though.

599
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:27,720
Oh my gosh.

600
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,720
And then see you like they teach you how to these are classes.

601
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,720
So she'll teach you how to do this stuff so you can do it on your own at home.

602
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:40,720
But I got I just thought I got the most interesting shapes.

603
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:47,720
I got like I thought it was a bad at first, but it was more like a butterfly shape or a moth or something.

604
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,720
It smells so good.

605
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,720
I got like a snake shape.

606
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,720
I got some other cool things I took pictures of it.

607
00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:04,720
But then there was like these two sunflower petals with like two little orange pieces both sitting in and I don't know why it just like

608
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:09,720
reminded me of like me and you like on a plane like traveling somewhere.

609
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,720
Oh, we're gonna try.

610
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,720
And we are.

611
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:14,720
So I don't know.

612
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,720
I thought that was cute, but I got pretty good pictures of the shapes and stuff that were in my cup.

613
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,720
Did you read this quote?

614
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,720
No, I didn't read because it's hard to read.

615
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,720
No, I mean, but did you read it?

616
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:25,720
Period.

617
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,720
No, I didn't read anything on that.

618
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,720
What does it say?

619
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:36,720
It is the kindest act of self preservation, self love and self care.

620
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,720
Oh, it is how we can heal our trauma.

621
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,720
So true.

622
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,720
Merchants of nostalgia.

623
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,720
Life has become busy.

624
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,720
It's time to slow down and safer.

625
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,720
A portion of the proceeds support suicide awareness.

626
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,720
Oh, I love that.

627
00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:01,720
That's so funny yesterday I went to the out of the darkness walk, which is suicide awareness and prevention.

628
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:02,720
Interesting.

629
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,720
There's more.

630
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:06,720
It's very tiny.

631
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:07,720
So I see why you.

632
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:08,720
Yeah.

633
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:13,720
It's not easy going no contact, but we get it.

634
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:18,720
This tea will help you in times of guilt and post-gas lighting.

635
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,720
It's so perfect for me.

636
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,720
It's interesting because so they have a bunch of those.

637
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,720
I think it's because it's a lot of people who are in love with it.

638
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,720
I think it's because I think it's because it's a lot of people who are in love with it.

639
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,720
I think it's because I think it's because I think it's because it's a lot of people who are in love with it.

640
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:39,720
I think it's because I think it's because it's a lot of people who are in love with it.

641
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:56,720
So it's like, oh, this one's probably like going to be my tea.

642
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:03,720
I'm going to Google something really quick before I share.

643
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:08,720
Just so you guys know, all of the teas are available for sale at through mail.

644
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:09,720
They're not a sponsor.

645
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,720
We just love them and they love us.

646
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,720
Do you know where this tea came from?

647
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:14,720
No.

648
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:15,720
I didn't read the bottles.

649
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,720
That's also very small.

650
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:19,720
Montana.

651
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,720
Oh.

652
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:26,720
Oddly enough, Eureka.

653
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:27,720
Montana.

654
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:28,720
Interesting.

655
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:33,720
I didn't even know there was a Eureka in Montana.

656
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,720
I thought that was our thing.

657
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:36,720
Yeah.

658
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,720
You know, is there just Eureka's all over the state?

659
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:40,720
I think so.

660
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,720
Look at my tea back here.

661
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,720
It's in Lincoln County.

662
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:45,720
Okay.

663
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:46,720
Interesting.

664
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:47,720
Oh, wow.

665
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:48,720
It's basically in Canada.

666
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:49,720
Oh, wow.

667
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:50,720
Hey, Canada.

668
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:51,720
Hey, girl.

669
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:52,720
Hey.

670
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,720
Look, it's nine miles south of the, of the, of the,

671
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,720
Canadian, US border.

672
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,720
Still, it's, so it's PNW, totally Montana.

673
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:03,720
Yeah.

674
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,720
We just did an episode on Montana.

675
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:06,720
That's why you brought it up.

676
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:07,720
You're right, it has lived in Montana.

677
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:08,720
Yeah.

678
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:09,720
Weird.

679
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,720
Eureka Montana.

680
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:13,720
Who knew?

681
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:14,720
Who knew?

682
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:15,720
We know.

683
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,720
So, I think we've talked about this on the pod.

684
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:25,720
Remind me if this sounds like not something anyone is going to be familiar with.

685
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:32,720
I'm pretty sure we've talked about the pumpkin that I won when I was a kindergartner, right?

686
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:33,720
Okay.

687
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:41,720
I was like, please don't tell me that I am thinking of told this story and I've just told it before and in different situations.

688
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:42,720
Yeah.

689
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:43,720
Nobody's going to know what I'm talking about.

690
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:44,720
No, you did.

691
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,720
And you said that you were trying to find a picture, but I don't think you over did.

692
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:48,720
I could never find one.

693
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:49,720
Yeah.

694
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:50,720
Yeah.

695
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:57,720
I think I'll probably just have to go and like rummage through bins on bins on bins at my mom's house.

696
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,720
One day we'll show it to find it.

697
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:00,720
Yeah.

698
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:07,720
If I could turn it down like that bit just yours, but this pumpkin that I'm currently looking at makes my pumpkin look

699
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,720
a little bit.

700
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:10,720
Relic.

701
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:11,720
Yes.

702
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:12,720
Okay.

703
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:19,720
So I found this article and I just was like, we got a we have to pay respect to the great.

704
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:29,720
And I'm going to give you a great enormous pumpkin of you know, yesterday and we like big pumpkin around here.

705
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,720
And the last.

706
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:41,720
So the article is entitled enormous Oregon grown pumpkin wins national pumpkin way off.

707
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,720
Oh, national damn girl.

708
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:50,720
She's working on that.

709
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:51,720
She took two seas.

710
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:52,720
That's right.

711
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,720
In a battle to grow the heaviest pumpkin in the nation.

712
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:02,720
A massive pumpkin grown in Oregon was crowned the winner on Saturday.

713
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,720
So this article is dated 10 for.

714
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,720
I'm guessing it was the weekend prior to this.

715
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,720
So like the last weekend of September.

716
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,720
Well, you say, oh, I see, I see, okay.

717
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,720
Yeah, the article was like two days ago.

718
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:19,720
Yeah.

719
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,720
Or yeah, yeah, 10 for was like two days ago.

720
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:23,720
So, um, okay.

721
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,720
Portland, Oregon, pulling one of our major news network.

722
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:28,720
Point six.

723
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:29,720
Yeah.

724
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:30,720
That's right.

725
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:35,720
The first place pumpkin nicknamed Hank the tank.

726
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,720
Was grown by Jim Sherwood of Milano.

727
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:40,720
Wow.

728
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,720
And now we told point six news.

729
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:52,720
The pumpkin took 108 days to grow before entering the 2024 national pumpkin way off at bishops.

730
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,720
Pumpkin farm in Wheatland, California.

731
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:56,720
Um, okay.

732
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:04,720
So I just need you to remember that this pumpkin came from Milano, Oregon.

733
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:05,720
Okay.

734
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:12,720
Where is which is it's like in the direction of like Oregon city can be out that way.

735
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,720
Um, before I tell you how much this bumper weighed.

736
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:17,720
Okay.

737
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:24,720
My pumpkin weighed less than after the comma.

738
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:25,720
There's a comma.

739
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,720
Oh, my God.

740
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:36,720
In the end, Hank the tank weighed in at 2453 pounds.

741
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:44,720
Pretty sure my pumpkin weighed 367 and it was the most enormous piece of produce I'd ever seen.

742
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,720
How big.

743
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,720
Cassie, I will show you the picture.

744
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:54,720
You are going to add absolutely shit your brain through your ear.

745
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,720
It is ridiculous.

746
00:32:58,720 --> 00:32:59,720
Ridiculous.

747
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:04,720
I kind of thought this was a fake prop pumpkin.

748
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,720
This is a real pumpkin.

749
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:07,720
What?

750
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,720
Yeah.

751
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:17,720
After 23 years growing giant pumpkins, you can sum up this year by saying old dogs really can learn new tricks.

752
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:23,720
Sherwood said, this was my first year growing in a greenhouse.

753
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:32,720
Oh, and I really focused on networking with other top growers, sharing tips and growing methods.

754
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,720
And it certainly paid off.

755
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:35,720
Wow.

756
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:46,720
Okay, Cassie, I am going to air drop this article to you and just be prepared for your brain to leave your school.

757
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,720
I'm ready.

758
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:53,720
My brain is not home at the moment, but I am so ready.

759
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:54,720
Oh my god.

760
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,720
Can you believe that?

761
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,720
It's so big.

762
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,720
Like, how does this even happen?

763
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,720
I don't know.

764
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:05,720
I have.

765
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,720
And it only took like a hundred and what.

766
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,720
How many days I think he said a hundred.

767
00:34:10,720 --> 00:34:11,720
Okay, so let's see.

768
00:34:11,720 --> 00:34:17,720
Took a hundred and eight days to grow before entering.

769
00:34:17,720 --> 00:34:20,720
The 2024 national pumpkin way off.

770
00:34:20,720 --> 00:34:23,720
So I'm wondering if it kept growing after he entered.

771
00:34:23,720 --> 00:34:26,720
Oh, I don't know.

772
00:34:26,720 --> 00:34:28,720
I just feel like that.

773
00:34:28,720 --> 00:34:29,720
It's a storm.

774
00:34:29,720 --> 00:34:31,720
It's like enough days to get this big pumpkin.

775
00:34:31,720 --> 00:34:32,720
I don't know.

776
00:34:32,720 --> 00:34:40,720
Well, that's just it is like he's obviously using all of the tips and the tricks and trying to get her role thick.

777
00:34:40,720 --> 00:34:50,720
And then I'm just going to start with the new pumpkin.

778
00:34:50,720 --> 00:34:52,720
I'm going to start with the new pumpkin.

779
00:34:52,720 --> 00:34:54,720
I'm going to start with the new pumpkin.

780
00:34:54,720 --> 00:34:56,720
I'm going to start with the new pumpkin.

781
00:34:56,720 --> 00:34:58,720
I'm going to start with the new pumpkin.

782
00:34:58,720 --> 00:34:59,720
I'm going to start with the new pumpkin.

783
00:34:59,720 --> 00:35:00,720
I'm going to start with the new pumpkin.

784
00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:02,720
I'm going to start with the new pumpkin.

785
00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:03,720
I'm going to start with the new pumpkin.

786
00:35:03,720 --> 00:35:04,720
I'm going to start with the new pumpkin.

787
00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:05,720
I'm going to start with the new pumpkin.

788
00:35:05,720 --> 00:35:06,720
I'm going to start with the new pumpkin.

789
00:35:06,720 --> 00:35:07,720
I'm going to start with the new pumpkin.

790
00:35:07,720 --> 00:35:08,720
I'm going to start with the new pumpkin.

791
00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:09,720
I'm going to start with the new pumpkin.

792
00:35:09,720 --> 00:35:11,720
Well, listen, okay, it's not that tall.

793
00:35:11,720 --> 00:35:16,720
When it's horizontal like this, I'm still taller than the pumpkin.

794
00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:21,720
If she could stand upright, she would tall.

795
00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:22,720
That would be different.

796
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:23,720
That would be different.

797
00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:24,720
That would be different.

798
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:29,720
Well, what a great addition to the sepus of that you added.

799
00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:30,720
Thank you, Caitlyn.

800
00:35:30,720 --> 00:35:38,720
I just was I literally was just thinking I was like, oh, maybe we'll do like a little patreon bonus because we.

801
00:35:38,720 --> 00:35:45,720
You know, do like fun little like news paper articles and things that like, you know, just whatever.

802
00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:48,720
Just something that would be fun to share.

803
00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:51,720
And I thought, oh, you know what?

804
00:35:51,720 --> 00:35:52,720
While I'm thinking of it.

805
00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:53,720
So I don't forget.

806
00:35:53,720 --> 00:35:55,720
And then we just never share it.

807
00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:58,720
And yeah, so I mean, do it with it.

808
00:35:58,720 --> 00:35:59,720

Very own brand.

813
00:36:03,720 --> 00:36:04,720
Very own brand.

814
00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:05,720
With your pumpkin butt.

815
00:36:05,720 --> 00:36:06,720
My pumpkin butt.

816
00:36:06,720 --> 00:36:07,720
I was looking at this.

817
00:36:07,720 --> 00:36:08,720
Like what's her butt?

818
00:36:08,720 --> 00:36:09,720
What's her name?

819
00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:10,720
One of the sanderson sisters.

820
00:36:10,720 --> 00:36:11,720
Winifred.

821
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:12,720
Oh, okay.

822
00:36:12,720 --> 00:36:13,720
Winifred.

823
00:36:13,720 --> 00:36:14,720
I was like, I can.

824
00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:23,720
I feel like the actresses names come to the front of my head.

825
00:36:23,720 --> 00:36:26,720
And then I'm like, well, I think she was named Sarah.

826
00:36:26,720 --> 00:36:27,720
That was this one.

827
00:36:27,720 --> 00:36:28,720
That was yeah.

828
00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:29,720
Yeah.

829
00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:30,720
Yeah.

830
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:31,720
Mary. Winifred.

831
00:36:31,720 --> 00:36:32,720
Oh, Mary.

832
00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:33,720
Kathy Najimmy.

833
00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:34,720
She's going to be.

834
00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:37,720
I am in.

835
00:36:37,720 --> 00:36:38,720
I don't know.

836
00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:42,720
She's going to be in St. Helens this year for the spirit of Halloweentown.

837
00:36:42,720 --> 00:36:43,720
I think I did.

838
00:36:43,720 --> 00:36:45,720
I posted like a little story on it.

839
00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:46,720
Love it.

840
00:36:46,720 --> 00:36:47,720
I can't remember the dates.

841
00:36:47,720 --> 00:36:49,720
But if you Google it, I'm sure you could find it.

842
00:36:49,720 --> 00:36:51,720
But I was like, I want to go see her.

843
00:36:51,720 --> 00:36:52,720
But I'm so busy.

844
00:36:52,720 --> 00:36:53,720
I know.

845
00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:55,720
That's so fun.

846
00:36:55,720 --> 00:36:56,720
Yeah.

847
00:36:56,720 --> 00:36:59,720
That is all I have.

848
00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:03,720
But right after this, there is going to be an interview with Margaret.

849
00:37:03,720 --> 00:37:08,720
And we're going to talk about some of the fun tours and stuff that they have going on.

850
00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:11,720
Not just during spooky season, but all year.

851
00:37:11,720 --> 00:37:17,720
And if you missed the Lone Fir episode that we did, you can go and search,

852
00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:19,720
searchy that search.

853
00:37:19,720 --> 00:37:20,720
Yeah.

854
00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:21,720
For cemetery, I'll probably link it for you.

855
00:37:21,720 --> 00:37:23,720
I was going to say we can link to it in the show now.

856
00:37:23,720 --> 00:37:27,720
But I hope that like, I like to tell people like, remind people they can actually

857
00:37:27,720 --> 00:37:29,720
search for episodes because I kind of find it.

858
00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:34,720
And I'm like, oh, well, we'll just scroll this until I find it.

859
00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:36,720
We could be scrolling through the window.

860
00:37:36,720 --> 00:37:37,720
Yeah, for sure.

861
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:38,720
Yeah.

862
00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:39,720
Am I taking a minute?

863
00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:44,720
Because sometimes, you know, I can only link to one thing.

864
00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:45,720
And usually it's just our website.

865
00:37:45,720 --> 00:37:49,720
So if you want to listen on Apple or something, you're going to have to probably search for.

866
00:37:49,720 --> 00:37:50,720
Sure.

867
00:37:50,720 --> 00:37:51,720
Sure.

868
00:37:51,720 --> 00:37:56,720
And then I think after the interview, we're just going to pull a card for Spooky season.

869
00:37:56,720 --> 00:37:59,720
Spoon.

870
00:37:59,720 --> 00:38:00,720
Spoon.

871
00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:01,720
Spoon.

872
00:38:01,720 --> 00:38:02,720
Spoon.

873
00:38:02,720 --> 00:38:03,720
Spoon.

874
00:38:03,720 --> 00:38:04,720
Spoon.

875
00:38:04,720 --> 00:38:06,720
So it'll be at the end of the episode, just like any other.

876
00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:07,720
We'll be back.

877
00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:13,720
We've got something we're really excited to share with you guys.

878
00:38:13,720 --> 00:38:16,720

00:38:51,720 --> 00:38:58,720
So I'm a part of a nonprofit 501c3 organization called Friends of Lone Fir Cemetery.

888
00:38:58,720 --> 00:39:02,720
And I've been involved in that organization for about 12 years.

889
00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:06,720
The organization, yeah, the organization has been around since 2000s.

890
00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:10,720
We're going to head our 25 year anniversary next year as an organization.

891
00:39:10,720 --> 00:39:14,720
We had high hopes for our 20th anniversary but then the pandemic hit.

892
00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:19,720
So we had to put that a big pin in that, which is a huge bummer.

893
00:39:19,720 --> 00:39:22,720
So I'm kind of looking forward to next year for that.

894
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:26,720
But I've been around for like I said 12 years next year will be lucky number 13.

895
00:39:26,720 --> 00:39:32,720
And I got involved just doing headstone workshops and then I segwayed over into doing tours.

896
00:39:32,720 --> 00:39:36,720
And then I got on the board and you know, I took over all the social media.

897
00:39:36,720 --> 00:39:37,720
So I do all of that.

898
00:39:37,720 --> 00:39:38,720
I do all the communication.

899
00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:40,720
I do all the sort of press release stuff.

900
00:39:40,720 --> 00:39:41,720
I do stuff like this.

901
00:39:41,720 --> 00:39:43,720
I was on KPTV last week.

902
00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:50,720
So I make sure that we're getting the publicity that we need to some extent.

903
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:53,720
We're a pretty small rough and tumble group.

904
00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:57,720
So we're not a huge organization, a huge nonprofit, but we do our best.

905
00:39:57,720 --> 00:40:01,720
Yeah, we just try to procure volunteers and stewardship within the cemetery.

906
00:40:01,720 --> 00:40:06,720
What got you interested in volunteering and working with a cemetery?

907
00:40:06,720 --> 00:40:08,720
I always love cemeteries.

908
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:10,720
It's always been a thing of mine.

909
00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:19,720
I've been to some time lead a part which is a annual semi annual whatever event that the organization had put on.

910
00:40:19,720 --> 00:40:23,720
And head put on years before I joined and it was really into it.

911
00:40:23,720 --> 00:40:27,720
Then I started to go to some of the regular tours that got really into that.

912
00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:30,720
And then I went to headstone workshops and it's just started to evolve.

913
00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:34,720
You know, from there I was like, I want to be a part of what this organization is doing.

914
00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:35,720
I really want to create stewardship.

915
00:40:35,720 --> 00:40:36,720
I wanted to volunteer.

916
00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:38,720
So kind of checked a lot of boxes for me.

917
00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:40,720
So I'm really in the Portland history.

918
00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:47,720
So not just the history of the cemetery is a being a taffophile, whatever it's also really in the Portland history.

919
00:40:47,720 --> 00:40:52,720
And I think the birth of Portland history can be most things can be circled back to the cemetery.

920
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:57,720
That's interesting that you say the birth of it could be because it's a place of death.

921
00:40:57,720 --> 00:40:58,720
Right.

922
00:40:58,720 --> 00:40:59,720
But it's like death and birth.

923
00:40:59,720 --> 00:41:03,720
There's so much nature in the cemetery.

924
00:41:03,720 --> 00:41:05,720
It's like you're walking through like a nature park.

925
00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:07,720
It's so beautiful.

926
00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:10,720
Yeah, a lot of cemeteries back in the day.

927
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:16,720
That the architecture, I mean, that cemetery in particular, the one for wasn't really architecturally designed.

928
00:41:16,720 --> 00:41:23,720
Maybe let's say in the way that we're review or other cemeteries like Greenwood or any of the magnificent seven over in London.

929
00:41:23,720 --> 00:41:26,720
There were architecturally designed to be like parks.

930
00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:28,720
So they retreated as such.

931
00:41:28,720 --> 00:41:30,720
They were designed to such long for a cemetery.

932
00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:32,720
It was a little more,

933
00:41:32,720 --> 00:41:37,720
you know, less intentional than that.

934
00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:41,720
It was really just a pioneer cemetery that grew into what you see it being today.

935
00:41:41,720 --> 00:41:46,720
But back in the day, the intention of cemeteries would be for to be treated like parks.

936
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:51,720
So that's why you know, the trees and all the design and stuff.

937
00:41:51,720 --> 00:41:56,720
So it is it creates a massive green space within.

938
00:41:56,720 --> 00:41:59,720
The city, you know, cemeteries along with parks.

939
00:41:59,720 --> 00:42:03,720
Lower the heat in urban areas.

940
00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:05,720
Yeah, just from all the trees and such.

941
00:42:05,720 --> 00:42:07,720
So, you know, it's a lot of sense.

942
00:42:07,720 --> 00:42:12,720
It's amazing to me that it started like with there was just like the one tree there.

943
00:42:12,720 --> 00:42:17,720
Yeah, and then it wasn't originally called loan for cemeteries called Mount Crawford cemetery.

944
00:42:17,720 --> 00:42:20,720
And then prior to that, it was just the land claim from the Stephens.

945
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:24,720
So, you know, they came over in the Oregon Trail, got their land claim.

946
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:32,720
And you know, it was very traditional to take the most least productive corner of your property and bury your family there.

947
00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:45,720
Fun fact, Emmor, when they came over, he was the oldest, how do I phrase this, the oldest, the earliest born person he was born in 1777, 76, something like that.

948
00:42:45,720 --> 00:42:48,720
He didn't last very long in town after they came over.

949
00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:49,720
He passed away.

950
00:42:49,720 --> 00:42:51,720
He was older and they buried him there.

951
00:42:51,720 --> 00:42:56,720
And there���s even a dispute on whether that's even the Stephens land claim act or not, because the lines were so fuzzy."

952
00:42:56,720 --> 00:42:57,720
Oh, oh.

953
00:42:57,720 --> 00:42:59,720
And they parceled out the land and did all that.

954
00:42:59,720 --> 00:43:04,720
You were supposed to do it on, I want to say on low tide and he didn't high tide.

955
00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:07,720
So, it expand the Stephens land claim.

956
00:43:07,720 --> 00:43:15,720
So, there's probably only amongst nerds, uh, to speed on whether Emmor was actually even buried on the Stevens property or not.

957
00:43:15,720 --> 00:43:17,720
Oh, wow, that is so interesting.

958
00:43:17,720 --> 00:43:19,720
I had no idea.

959
00:43:19,720 --> 00:43:24,720
I was like, you know, going to do a ring about it, but it's like just on the precipice of being another land claim act.

960
00:43:24,720 --> 00:43:30,720
And so, that block one over there where that road is, that's really the original part of the cemetery.

961
00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:36,720
Because that's the original entrance to the cemetery, because that side, it wasn't 26.

962
00:43:36,720 --> 00:43:37,720
It was that corner.

963
00:43:37,720 --> 00:43:39,720
Yeah, it's pretty fun to hang out in cemeteries.

964
00:43:39,720 --> 00:43:48,720
Like I said, if you were to look up old pictures, there's a really old picture online, of Riverview from, I want to say, the late 1800s, early 1800s of a family pic to King.

965
00:43:48,720 --> 00:43:51,720
There, so it was the properties were designed for it.

966
00:43:51,720 --> 00:43:55,720
So, it's nice to see people admiring and appreciating the interest space.

967
00:43:55,720 --> 00:43:56,720
It's what we want.

968
00:43:56,720 --> 00:43:57,720
Yeah.

969
00:43:57,720 --> 00:43:59,720
Like it doesn't always have to be a creepy thing.

970
00:43:59,720 --> 00:44:01,720
Like, ooh, we're going to the cemetery.

971
00:44:01,720 --> 00:44:03,720
We're going to do a stay on.

972
00:44:03,720 --> 00:44:04,720
Not at all.

973
00:44:04,720 --> 00:44:05,720
It's beautiful.

974
00:44:05,720 --> 00:44:08,720
I mean, people have different perspectives and takes on cemeteries.

975
00:44:08,720 --> 00:44:09,720
But certainly it can be tranquil.

976
00:44:09,720 --> 00:44:10,720
It can be nice.

977
00:44:10,720 --> 00:44:11,720
It can be beautiful.

978
00:44:11,720 --> 00:44:12,720
It can be.

979
00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:14,720
There's a rose garden and loan for cemetery.

980
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:17,720
There's all kinds of trees.

981
00:44:17,720 --> 00:44:18,720
The bird of lions of organ.

982
00:44:18,720 --> 00:44:21,720
I have to remember to get the name right because there's no longer the auto on society.

983
00:44:21,720 --> 00:44:28,720
Do their annual bird count at loan for because there's so many different birds that migrate and hang out in the.

984
00:44:28,720 --> 00:44:29,720
Oh, wow.

985
00:44:29,720 --> 00:44:30,720
Yeah.

986
00:44:30,720 --> 00:44:32,720
And at any given point, you can see all the different kinds of birds in there.

987
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:34,720
I wanted to ask about the tours.

988
00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:35,720
What kind of tours you guys do.

989
00:44:35,720 --> 00:44:39,720
And I saw that you might be sold out of the.

990
00:44:39,720 --> 00:44:40,720
Oh, sold out.

991
00:44:40,720 --> 00:44:41,720
Oh, my gosh.

992
00:44:41,720 --> 00:44:46,720
We still want to talk about them so that people maybe next year can get a jump on getting their tickets.

993
00:44:46,720 --> 00:44:48,720
Yeah, or just come on to our regular tours.

994
00:44:48,720 --> 00:44:50,720
So we do.

995
00:44:50,720 --> 00:44:51,720
I'll just kind of dial back.

996
00:44:51,720 --> 00:44:53,720
So are we do monthly tours.

997
00:44:53,720 --> 00:44:57,720
So every first Saturday, we do a tour called stories and stone.

998
00:44:57,720 --> 00:45:05,720
And the intention of that tour is to really not have to be so much historical or chronological than the going zones of loan for.

999
00:45:05,720 --> 00:45:10,720
It's really the unique space that loan for is some of the artistic headstone,

1000
00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:17,720
some of the meanings of some of the headstones and the different art and the different representation and woodman of the world or hey,

1001
00:45:17,720 --> 00:45:18,720
this headstone means this.

1002
00:45:18,720 --> 00:45:20,720
This is some Victorian art.

1003
00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:27,720
So we talk a little bit about that to capture just sort of what would be kind of like the rest of the cemetery for a lack of a better phrase.

1004
00:45:27,720 --> 00:45:31,720
And then the second Saturday is our.

1005
00:45:31,720 --> 00:45:32,720
Is darkle tour.

1006
00:45:32,720 --> 00:45:33,720
And so we really want to educate people.

1007
00:45:33,720 --> 00:45:39,720
It's part of our tentative is a nonprofit with an omission is to educate people because I really feel like if more people are educated.

1008
00:45:39,720 --> 00:45:45,720
They'll have a kinship and a stewardship to the property and they're not only less likely to vandalize it.

1009
00:45:45,720 --> 00:45:49,720
I feel like a lot of vandalism is unintentional.

1010
00:45:49,720 --> 00:45:50,720
Like people hang out there.

1011
00:45:50,720 --> 00:45:51,720
They want to party.

1012
00:45:51,720 --> 00:45:54,720
I don't know what they want to do and accidentally knock things over.

1013
00:45:54,720 --> 00:45:57,720
They bring their dog into the cemetery or whatever and.

1014
00:45:57,720 --> 00:45:58,720
And then so on and so forth.

1015
00:45:58,720 --> 00:46:03,720
But I think you're more likely to cover it the space and create stewardship if you're.

1016
00:46:03,720 --> 00:46:07,720
Pretty invested in either cleaning it or maintaining it or you know the history of it.

1017
00:46:07,720 --> 00:46:09,720
So we do that.

1018
00:46:09,720 --> 00:46:12,720
The third Saturday is April through September.

1019
00:46:12,720 --> 00:46:14,720
We do headstone workshop.

1020
00:46:14,720 --> 00:46:17,720
Throw we teach folks how to clean the headstones get some help.

1021
00:46:17,720 --> 00:46:20,720
Volunteer help to go out through the cemetery and clean some up.

1022
00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:22,720
And then the fourth Saturday.

1023
00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:25,720
And the tours are all your long is our women's tour.

1024
00:46:25,720 --> 00:46:30,720
So we just talk and highlight the prominent women that are buried throughout loan for cemetery.

1025
00:46:30,720 --> 00:46:35,720
And then every October we try to do something interesting or fun.

1026
00:46:35,720 --> 00:46:41,720
So in years past we did a tour and we still do a tour called tour of untimely departures.

1027
00:46:41,720 --> 00:46:42,720
It's a lot of work.

1028
00:46:42,720 --> 00:46:44,720
A lot of investment if we decide we're going to do that tour.

1029
00:46:44,720 --> 00:46:47,720
We we decided like January and February.

1030
00:46:47,720 --> 00:46:50,720
Pretty early in the year because it takes so many volunteers.

1031
00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:52,720
It takes so much of what we do to put that on.

1032
00:46:52,720 --> 00:46:56,720
We have 1200 people that walk through the cemetery between five and nine.

1033
00:46:56,720 --> 00:46:59,720
Four hours to his leave every eight minutes.

1034
00:46:59,720 --> 00:47:00,720
And it's just a lot.

1035
00:47:00,720 --> 00:47:01,720
It's a lot of coordination.

1036
00:47:01,720 --> 00:47:04,720
It's a lot of event management.

1037
00:47:04,720 --> 00:47:07,720
Things that are in and outside of our wheelhouse right.

1038
00:47:07,720 --> 00:47:13,720
We're a nonprofit wanting to do modest tours, educate people on for and all of a sudden we put this really large.

1039
00:47:13,720 --> 00:47:14,720
Massive event.

1040
00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:15,720
That's just a lot of work.

1041
00:47:15,720 --> 00:47:18,720
So we don't do it every year because of that.

1042
00:47:18,720 --> 00:47:24,720
So it doesn't it doesn't allow us to focus on other things like if we had done tour of untimely departures this year.

1043
00:47:24,720 --> 00:47:27,720
We may not have introduced the women's tour, which is a newer tour this year.

1044
00:47:27,720 --> 00:47:30,720
Or the journal club, which is on Sundays by a volunteer.

1045
00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:34,720
We just don't have time to ingratiate other things and yeah, so anyways.

1046
00:47:34,720 --> 00:47:36,720
But then we try to go well a couple years.

1047
00:47:36,720 --> 00:47:39,720
This is the third time we've done tombs don't Twilight.

1048
00:47:39,720 --> 00:47:42,720
We thought well let's do something a little less.

1049
00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:47,720
Still something cool a little more dial down volunteer wise dial down.

1050
00:47:47,720 --> 00:47:52,720
We're not getting tense and block out the street doing it at night to write it.

1051
00:47:52,720 --> 00:48:01,720
We'll do it right at dusk because it's a pretty cool vibe if you go into the cemetery now about 536 right around now.

1052
00:48:01,720 --> 00:48:07,720
It's a little darker in the cemetery that it is ever well since because it's really is a cool really neat vibe.

1053
00:48:07,720 --> 00:48:10,720
So we're like let's do something then less permitting because it's not at night.

1054
00:48:10,720 --> 00:48:12,720
Whatever we're not going to close on the cemetery.

1055
00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:16,720
Let's do it and we the couple of times we did it was really successful.

1056
00:48:16,720 --> 00:48:17,720
People were really into it.

1057
00:48:17,720 --> 00:48:22,720
So then this year since last year was pretty successful with tour of untimely departures really go okay.

1058
00:48:22,720 --> 00:48:25,720
We're not going to do for acronym for us to we're not going to do to this year.

1059
00:48:25,720 --> 00:48:34,720
Let's do this but the biggest complaint that we get isn't just that we don't do to every year is that how can we don't offer it more than one night for all the reasons I mentioned right.

1060
00:48:34,720 --> 00:48:38,720
Well, let's do let's do this tour but let's do it every Saturday in the month of October.

1061
00:48:38,720 --> 00:48:43,720
So this year is the first time that we've done it more than one night.

1062
00:48:43,720 --> 00:48:45,720
Oh wow. So that's very new.

1063
00:48:45,720 --> 00:48:50,720
So every other time we've done it it's always been like the Saturday before Halloween.

1064
00:48:50,720 --> 00:48:55,720
We did four or five tours 25 30 people each tour and we're called good.

1065
00:48:55,720 --> 00:48:59,720
But I thought well if we're going to we're going to switch it up and disappoint people.

1066
00:48:59,720 --> 00:49:08,720
Let's at least try to lean into the biggest request that we get besides the tour itself is is to do it more than once, which is the goal.

1067
00:49:08,720 --> 00:49:13,720
Well, I'm so jealous of everyone who got tickets because I did not.

1068
00:49:13,720 --> 00:49:18,720
Yeah, it's it's pretty cool. It's it's so incentive each stop.

1069
00:49:18,720 --> 00:49:23,720
The actors there's no actors portray anything. It's really the tour guide.

1070
00:49:23,720 --> 00:49:31,720
The way we're seeing is the tour guide is like the ghost and they're dressed up and they're going to so instead of having 10 volunteers just right there and each stop.

1071
00:49:31,720 --> 00:49:35,720
We just have the one tour guide. So we've already reduced our head count of volunteers.

1072
00:49:35,720 --> 00:49:41,720
Doesn't make it less fun. It just that it's less probably a little less impactful than tide but and it's not at night.

1073
00:49:41,720 --> 00:49:47,720
It's still cool though. We're still excited. If anyone did any of the tours on untimely departures the last couple of years.

1074
00:49:47,720 --> 00:49:51,720
We didn't repeat any of the stops. So you feel like going on last year.

1075
00:49:51,720 --> 00:49:58,720
I've got a ticket is it going to be the same thing. It's not we we try really hard not to recycle that often so that you feel like you.

1076
00:49:58,720 --> 00:50:05,720
You're getting something new or different. Awesome. Yeah. But hey, you know like what I was getting at too is we we were doing it every Saturday.

1077
00:50:05,720 --> 00:50:10,720
But we still have our historical tours and our wins tour and all that stuff in October and November.

1078
00:50:10,720 --> 00:50:16,720
So if folks want to come out November has a really high turnout with tours. It's not quite quite cold.

1079
00:50:16,720 --> 00:50:20,720
It's really beautiful in the cemetery with fall in the trees and leaves and stuff.

1080
00:50:20,720 --> 00:50:26,720
So I encourage people to give that a shot. I know it's not as cool but it is still pretty cool.

1081
00:50:26,720 --> 00:50:33,720
It's still pretty fun. So before it gets to be super wet and dark and cold and it's really good time to come out.

1082
00:50:33,720 --> 00:50:40,720
And all the funds that go through for tours and events like that I'll go back to us as a nonprofit.

1083
00:50:40,720 --> 00:50:46,720
So in so many ways you're supporting us in our ability to keep the lights on so to speak.

1084
00:50:46,720 --> 00:50:53,720
So tour supplies or our website domain to pay for our insurance in order to be a nonprofit.

1085
00:50:53,720 --> 00:50:56,720
All the things that you know.

1086
00:50:56,720 --> 00:51:03,720
Do you guys do any of like the fixing up of the monuments or anything like that or would that be a separate.

1087
00:51:03,720 --> 00:51:06,720
Yeah, it really just depends. So sometimes we're involved.

1088
00:51:06,720 --> 00:51:11,720
It isn't our property. It's Metro. So I was just out there on Friday night.

1089
00:51:11,720 --> 00:51:18,720
Saw a few headstones that had been knocked over and I will immediately send pictures over to one of the main folks.

1090
00:51:18,720 --> 00:51:25,720
The sort of the head of the park rangers name is Monty Woods. Really great guy really in to what we do very supportive of the organization.

1091
00:51:25,720 --> 00:51:31,720
So I'm always really trying to send off information to him pretty quickly and they'll get people to come out.

1092
00:51:31,720 --> 00:51:36,720
It depends. It's their property. We're just sort of like in their sandbox.

1093
00:51:36,720 --> 00:51:43,720
But if there's opportunities to support and help replace headstones or putting headstones.

1094
00:51:43,720 --> 00:51:48,720
I had a redmond's an example where she did not have a headstone. We paid for it. We put it in.

1095
00:51:48,720 --> 00:51:58,720
We partner with an elementary school. I want to say almost 10 years ago and they helped raise money for Gus Waterford, which is one of the first African American like firefighters in Portland.

1096
00:51:58,720 --> 00:52:02,720
They came up with a certain amount of money we kicked in the rest. He has headstone now.

1097
00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:09,720
So ace of love joy all the outlining and black that you see. We helped we've helped restore and put that back.

1098
00:52:09,720 --> 00:52:14,720
So yeah, we tried to do our very best to help support and restore when we went in where we can.

1099
00:52:14,720 --> 00:52:22,720
So do you know anything about the bottler brothers, Mosin, yeah, the bottler. We've done a few like fundraiser for that.

1100
00:52:22,720 --> 00:52:30,720
The problem is is the bottler and it's it is what it is. I've been shouldn't say go it's from is that the family lineage is still in Portland.

1101
00:52:30,720 --> 00:52:37,720
Oh, it's really theirs. Right. We can't just go in and be like we're going to redo it and restore it.

1102
00:52:37,720 --> 00:52:42,720
It's really them that can do it. So the family line is still alive in well in Portland.

1103
00:52:42,720 --> 00:52:49,720
Oh, wow. And so we did invite them out to a few of our events and such, but we can't just go in and make changes.

1104
00:52:49,720 --> 00:52:57,720
The cemetery is on the historical registry. We there's just retake and do diligence. We can't just go on and be like we're going to improve this.

1105
00:52:57,720 --> 00:53:06,720
That makes a lot of sense. Yeah. So yeah, so that's kind of the deal with that is we have to be it's you know it's their it's their headstone is their property.

1106
00:53:06,720 --> 00:53:17,720
So same for me like personally like the bottler. The bottler crypt is something that is really you know really cool and I would hate to have it continued to degrade.

1107
00:53:17,720 --> 00:53:24,720
It's one of the main anchors in the cemetery, but for me like the crown jewel sort of speak is the mucleic mausoleum. Yeah, that is.

1108
00:53:24,720 --> 00:53:29,720
And so it's just at the point where it's just the A and the C on the name now. Yeah.

1109
00:53:29,720 --> 00:53:40,720
And so to me like that's the that's the bigger concern is that mausoleum right there. Is there any plans to get that fixed up? No.

1110
00:53:40,720 --> 00:53:46,720
The family the family still is alive in well in Portland. They became the curse. Oh, okay.

1111
00:53:46,720 --> 00:53:51,720
So there are like thick the most recent where it was probably about 10 years ago and tidied there. I believe we're not there.

1112
00:53:51,720 --> 00:54:02,720
There's still some empty spots. Oh, it's really up to them. So I don't know why or what I don't know if they see the value and it would be millions of dollars to get a fix and restored.

1113
00:54:02,720 --> 00:54:10,720
So those that's a bigger thing right where we try and like let's help raise a couple thousand dollars to put in a headstone like that's kind of where we're at.

1114
00:54:10,720 --> 00:54:17,720
And what we try to do we try to low be a little more low key and grassroots that would have to be really big grant writing and.

1115
00:54:17,720 --> 00:54:27,720
And they have the loan for foundation, which is a separate foundation. They're also nonprofit and they're sort of an out shoot of friends of loan for some of the original folks from friends of loan for started the loan for foundation.

1116
00:54:27,720 --> 00:54:38,720
But they're big sort of task at hand and their focus has been block 14. Yes, that is a huge project that I was definitely heading towards asking you about.

1117
00:54:38,720 --> 00:54:46,720
Do you know anything about the timeline of that? I it's hard to say because it's really again it's Metro's property and they did get a bond.

1118
00:54:46,720 --> 00:54:54,720
And they're really good for it. So there was a bond that got you know earmarked for that space and I know loan for foundation has raised a lot of money for it.

1119
00:54:54,720 --> 00:55:04,720
They've partnered with all the appropriate folks for the space and the design. I've seen the design of all so many times in the 10 plus years I've been involved in.

1120
00:55:04,720 --> 00:55:14,720
In loan for it. It's it's just cost and different measures and you know, oh we want to water feature, but you can't really have a water feature because someone will probably master that or.

1121
00:55:14,720 --> 00:55:31,720
Who's going to maintain that it's all about you know, perpetuity like let's look at this in 10 years from now right yeah and how will it look and who's going to maintain it right will be dilapidated you know so I think they've had to reframe how it's going to look and how it's going to be so that it's a cool space.

1122
00:55:31,720 --> 00:55:35,720
It was also going to be more of a shared space for hot learning patients, but that's been more.

1123
00:55:35,720 --> 00:55:48,720
Dial back because there is more of an emphasis on the Chinese that are over there yeah, which is definitely understandable totally yeah and so they've really wanted to make sure that they have it all they'll be mentioned of it of hot learning patients.

1124
00:55:48,720 --> 00:55:57,720
But I think the focus of the space rightfully so it's going to be bought for block 14 is going to be the Chinese immigrants and folks that were in turn there so.

1125
00:55:57,720 --> 00:56:25,720
That I mean for as far as I can tell I haven't seen you know we were kind of in the sidelines rooting for it definitely the loan for foundation sort of the main focal group that's really kind of driven it through the end I want to say maybe next year I mean I know they've had a lot of for lack of a better phrase they've had a lot of like like you know community like you can speak up you know say hey what do you think of this design or you know like town hall type stuff for the community.

1126
00:56:25,720 --> 00:56:41,720
And so yeah they want this they wanted the public to be involved in what they thought I should look like and so there's been many of that in the last year or so I don't know where we are in the stage of it but I definitely know the money's been earmarked and it were the finishing line for sure that's awesome I can't wait for that.

1127
00:56:41,720 --> 00:56:52,720
Yeah start and then I don't know how long it would take them to build it but it just seems like such a nice peaceful sanctuary spot to go yeah.

1128
00:56:52,720 --> 00:57:10,720
I did do an episode on and I just research stuff you know from the internet so I did read that there was a little girl's angel statue a data and it was stolen and it said it had been replaced but then when I went to go find it it's gone.

1129
00:57:10,720 --> 00:57:27,720
Yeah she's been stolen again I'm not sure the draw to her is to why she's stolen so often I want to say maybe three or four years ago she was someone knocked her down and she's not like five or six years old they don't understand like and I remember picking I found her on the ground and I was at

1130
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:43,720
I was at Lifer because I spent a lot of time there surprised and I found her on the ground and she's an extremely heavy little girl the statue or the headstone they put her back and then she stole again I don't know if we have her back or not that is just so sad.

1131
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:52,720
But it's she's been stolen like three or four times I know I'm not really yeah again it's it's really sad she's a little girl it's like we were long.

1132
00:57:52,720 --> 00:58:11,720
I know I went and I spent some time after because I did do the headstone cleaning and so I went and wandered around and looked at all the headstones we talked about so I spent a lot of time with her because I just felt so bad that she doesn't have her little angel statue I don't know why I felt really drawn to her too but maybe that's what other people are feeling.

1133
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:28,720
They just went really cool garden art you know I can go in a whole like speech about vandalism and why people do that and I don't know it's we saw an uptick of it during covid actually during the pandemic we saw an uptick of it that just lent us to think that the were our presence does to tour it.

1134
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:40,720
I don't like to think that highly of ourselves but at the time you know that was sort of the birth of friends of loan for to begin with is to create stewardship and to minimize vandalism and to clean up the cemetery and all that and.

1135
00:58:40,720 --> 00:59:09,720
I think if people feel there's a presence there that they're less likely to do it but during the pandemic obviously we're wrong lockdown and yeah we weren't as out there as much and so we just started a really see vandalism kick up and it was happening all throughout the city so it wasn't exclusive to loan for but it's very upsetting it is the soldier on the soldiers want even is pretty much destroyed so that guy's not going back up and that was one of the first things that loan for dead was restore the the soldier he'd been knocked down before.

1136
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:25,720
Rebronson put him back out was one of the first things that the front of loan for some time to read it so in fact if you go back and you look there's a movie not a good one by the way but I highly recommend watching the first 10 minutes of it and then do what you want after that just started off.

1137
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:29,720
But it's a movie called body evidence which is a Madonna movie.

1138
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:31,720
Oh and it's filmed in Portland.

1139
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:52,720
I feel like I've seen this movie it's totally not good but you probably maybe at the time wasn't looking it with the lens you're going to look at it now so go back that gets free you can watch it on any streaming right or maybe even find it on YouTube or something but she you know with a woman scored I don't actually remember the story but she lives in pittic mansion by the way.

1140
00:59:52,720 --> 01:00:02,720
And then something about her husband dies on she kills him I don't know if that's the premise of the story whatever but he's buried it loan for.

1141
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:14,720
So loan for cemetery but in the background of the movie this is how nerded out we is no one will hear people get you can see this older's monument without the soldier because the movie came out before friends of loan for cemetery.

1142
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:34,720
You know what I mean and so you can still see some of the glass in the mausoleum used to be so there's that entrance point of the McCley mausoleum where there's the gate on that gate it says Kerr because they became the curse but if you were walk all the way around before that that fence got put up you walk all the way around.

1143
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:57,720
And there's a door behind there and it leads upstairs into a chapel in the mausoleum oh oh that's so cool which is no longer open to the public yeah I can see why it's pretty yeah it looks like it's falling apart a little bit but anyways if you want to see a good solid 10 minutes of 90s loan for cemetery go check it out that is so cool I definitely will have to look at that.

1144
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:26,720
A friend of mine Tara did a movie there she it's called my summer's a goth she did a movie there and film lots of it there I think grims couple of such were filmed at loan for cemetery that makes sense yeah I didn't want to ask you about the rose garden because I didn't I didn't know that was there until I kind of was walking around looking and I was like oh there's like a little rose garden here there is yeah it's so it's one of the original pioneer rose gardens so bad.

1145
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:46,720
So back in the day roses are not local the Portland at all they're not at all they're not indigenous to parliament you wouldn't know it you would know it being that it's rose sitting so the pioneer ladies were really really into their roses and they would bring them over they would stick the little bits in.

1146
01:01:46,720 --> 01:02:15,720
Like the thorns or whatever they would the bulbs they would stick it in potatoes and so the potatoes to keep them wet and to keep them alive and then when they came over here they would plant them and there was a certain number a two or three original rose gardens from that the original pioneer women that came over they're all gone except for the one and loan for cemetery oh wow they're all gone yeah and then anything here after that like the one at Peninsula Park or Lads edition or the international test garden those are all all.

1147
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:44,720
Rose gardens for sure but not the pioneer rose gardens from back in the day day wow so the so really special yeah it's one of the last ones is the last one they all had died off so we do have a volunteer in some groups that come out and help maintain the rose garden it's really neat to really quiet cool space yeah it does look really well maintained it is nice yeah we're excited to have it there's a little plaque there you can be a little bit more when you walk over to it so I have to know.

1148
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:52,720
What you think of the John and Elizabeth stephens headstone, do you think it's creepy or do you think it's sweet.

1149
01:02:52,720 --> 01:03:13,720
I think it's sweet and I think it's creepy that's why I think too I think that it started to you know the type of material that it is which is like sugar marble over time it starts to look more like we be in the black and the like we've cleaned it a few times but that's like that's how they made headstones back then that's how they looked back then they were

1150
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:33,720
modest sturdy people and yeah you know what I mean and yeah now I think it I don't think it's creepy at all I think what makes it look creepy to people is just because it's old yeah then it takes a wonderful side which the image by the way that's the backside of that stone because remember the entrance was the other side to the inscriptions the front.

1151
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:47,720
Oh that is interesting that kind of does put like a different perspective on it a little bit yeah and J.B. Stevens would walk every day up what was baseline to go visit her because she died before him.

1152
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:50,720
I know he wanted to hold her hand again.

1153
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:51,720
Yeah.

1154
01:03:51,720 --> 01:04:15,720
Have you experienced any creepy stuff like hauntings in the cemetery no I know some of our volunteers and board members have discussed that I have really too much I kind of have the feeling that when all of us friends have learned for volunteers and board members that I will probably haunt it and the reason I say that is because we spend so much time there yeah right so

1155
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:40,720
I don't know the connection some folks would have to that space maybe the Stevens would right you know yeah because you're more likely to visit your home or you haunt your you know your family but the cemetery is like unless you're really tied to that space emotionally I don't know that I don't know right yeah I'm kind of I'm kind of on that same line of thinking to yeah I don't know that cemetery is haunted people think.

1156
01:04:40,720 --> 01:05:00,720
Although the only experience that I've ever had was at will home and so I was there and I there was a really really cold area this and I mean it's kind of cold there anyways but there's a certain part where I felt I thought I felt the presence there but it's one of the few times it's the oldest part of will home just if you ever go do a little thing about them.

1157
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:12,720
Do you think about them is that a cemetery to oh it's one of the largest like mausoleums in the west of the Mississippi there's like 30 40,000 people in turn in there for not buried at all they're in the wall.

1158
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:27,720
Oh gosh yeah where is this at it's on it's in so one oh my gosh this is why okay this is one of the reasons I have a podcast that talks about like the Pacific Northwest because I lived here my whole life and I don't know anything.

1159
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:56,720
Yeah so they do I've only lived here for well 16 years but you know more than me yeah but again it's the Portland history that I'm really into so I think like was it Clark Gables first wife is buried there the povoi brothers are buried are interred there and you might who's the povoi brothers but they did all the glass the pit of mansion anytime you see old stained glass like the old church I don't know if you know you've got venue there's a few homes within Portland all povoi glass and they were.

1160
01:05:56,720 --> 01:06:01,720
trained and mentored by Tiffany glass so it's got that vibe to it.

1161
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:25,720
Poulson and in men so the in men Poulson working they did the in Poulson lumber so that big blue house over on just by Ross Island bridge yeah that's you want Poulson's house and so him and in men Robert in men had a lumber guard and they were supplying lumber to the city but they both had twin houses so you can now google the in men house that's been torn down but there's the Poulson house then they're both in toward there too so.

1162
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:47,720
So just saying there's a lot of history there oh yeah that's definitely going to be something i'm going to be looking into after this so definitely you guys are you always looking for volunteers yeah we're always looking for have more people to help us out the more we can so the more we can recruit volunteers throughout the year the more.

1163
01:06:47,720 --> 01:07:10,720
Reliable people are the more people are dedicated just we're not having to retrain people and have a constant fresh new batch we want to have people help with projects and do other things so it's really helpful for us if you're involved in your interest in you want to become a board member you know people want to move on sometimes and that's okay but we want to continue to have more ideas more involvement.

1164
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:39,720
So yeah we're always looking for volunteers we always want people to be board members or to help out or be involved in projects or do other things and we're we think outside the box so last year I did a screening which is a fundraiser for us at Clinton Street Theatre and Tariq him out we showed my separate goth because it was September October and it was you know that movie came out a few years ago and she was gracious enough to let it screen and Clinton Street Theatre and we went to the city.

1165
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:45,960
and we went to, anyways, we did that, and then I rented out Holesene and we did tunes for

1166
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:52,240
Tumestone, so I got a bunch of bands, and we did a bunch of stuff. So, I want to do, I

1167
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:55,460
haven't done it yet because I've just been so busy this past year. But there's an event

1168
01:07:55,460 --> 01:08:01,920
I wanted to do. Maybe at Crush, or somewhere else, but show body evidence, which is what I

1169
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:05,120
want to do, and have a drag show called "Death is a Drag."

1170
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:10,720
Oh my gosh, okay, I'm coming to that. Please let me know when this is happening.

1171
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:15,120
So, just different ideas, and part of it was to outreach outside of the cemetery and to

1172
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:19,840
involve the community and to do different things within the community. So, for example,

1173
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:24,160
we did Ghost of Summer this past year and the year before, which is sort of a vending event.

1174
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:26,000
We've been to that, yeah.

1175
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:31,000
Yeah. And then this year, I think every year they do, but I'm de-invited as to come out

1176
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:38,120
to Amsy after Dark, and so it's October 30th, and I think the theme is called "Spirits,"

1177
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:42,560
and so they've got a whole, I don't know, program plan or different things. So, we're going

1178
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:46,560
to be out there with a booth, just talking about what we do, that's October 30th. You can

1179
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:51,080
go to Amsy's website and find out more about tickets. So, we're trying to do more things,

1180
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:54,200
we're getting invited to do more things outside of the cemetery, which is pretty fun and

1181
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:55,200
pretty cool.

1182
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:56,200
Awesome.

1183
01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:57,200
But we're even more volunteers to be able to do it, right?

1184
01:08:57,200 --> 01:08:58,200
Yeah, yeah.

1185
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:01,800
We can't have the same five or six people showing up there, single thing. You're going to keep

1186
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:04,840
going, you keep seeing me, and you'd be like, "Do you want to just do it all?" I'm like,

1187
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:10,080
"I do," but also, it's just a core of, you know, a consistent core of us, we would love

1188
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:11,400
more people out there.

1189
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:14,800
So how do you recommend getting started volunteering?

1190
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:21,400
Just email us at info@friendsoflonefircemetery.org, and we'll get back to you, and we'll give you

1191
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:25,680
a whole step by step on how to do it, and then let us know what you're interested in.

1192
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:30,240
Just, you know, hanging around tours, helping out the tours, is it helping be a site

1193
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:35,480
store for next year's headstone workshops and what that looks like? You want to do research?

1194
01:09:35,480 --> 01:09:39,080
Do you want to do, there's a whole slew of things, you know? Do you want to help?

1195
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:45,720
We have a whole sort of crew out there that we've got working on besides headstone workshops,

1196
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:50,200
they're helping sort of uproot some of the sunken in headstones, or a lot of them, you

1197
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:53,880
think, "Oh, they're gone," but they're just sunken in. So we have like an edging career

1198
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:57,720
as well, we're calling them and they come out and they do, they pull weeds, sort of they,

1199
01:09:57,720 --> 01:10:01,120
you know, do things, there's just a variety of things that you can help out with.

1200
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:02,120
That's awesome.

1201
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:07,560
What is the email? We'll put it in the show notes just in case, but I want to say it out loud

1202
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:08,560
too.

1203
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:12,760
Yeah, it's just info@friendsoflonefircemetery.org.

1204
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:19,280
So easy. Everyone please volunteer, help out donate if you can too, if you can't volunteer

1205
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:20,960
your time, you know?

1206
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:21,960
Yeah.

1207
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:22,960
Volunteer your money.

1208
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:27,480
Yeah, you can also come out. We've got shirts that we sell. We have them for sale at Skeleton

1209
01:10:27,480 --> 01:10:32,040
Key. They're good friends of us. They help sort of be our storefront. If you can't come

1210
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:37,400
out to tours, we will have them for sale at our tours in October. So even if you don't

1211
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:41,040
go to tour, you can pop over and if you want to buy a shirt, you can do that. That helps,

1212
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:45,520
everything just helps support us, it helps support who we are and keeping, you know, the

1213
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:48,760
lights on, so to speak. So it's always appreciated.

1214
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:54,360
We appreciate you, the people who take care of this awesome space that we get to enjoy.

1215
01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:57,120
So thank you so much for doing that as well.

1216
01:10:57,120 --> 01:11:03,080
Thank you. Really appreciate it. Was there anything any last words you have? The dog might.

1217
01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:09,440
Yeah, yeah, truly those. No, I just think I appreciate the community support and the

1218
01:11:09,440 --> 01:11:14,440
interest this year's, like the highest attended headstone workshop. We were getting like 60

1219
01:11:14,440 --> 01:11:20,040
people per session at times and it was just amazing and great and hopefully that really sparked

1220
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:25,240
some interest with people throughout the year. We do different stuff. So yeah, just come

1221
01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:29,840
out and check it out and know that any tour that you go on and anything that you do, where

1222
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:35,080
you buy a ticket or you buy a shirt, you're spending money on a nonprofit. So we all are

1223
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:39,400
volunteers. I've known this for 12 years and I've been doing it for free. So this is just

1224
01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:43,920
something where all the money goes back into us being able to do really cool stuff. So

1225
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:48,680
$3 that you spend supports that effort. Awesome. All right. Well, it's so nice to talk to

1226
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:56,240
you Margaret. Thank you for doing this interview with me. Nice to talk to you. Thank you so much.

1227
01:11:56,240 --> 01:12:04,600
We hope you enjoyed that interview with Margaret. She was so sweet to talk to us and she did

1228
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:12,920
offer to let us come to one of these sold out Twilight Tombstone Twilight Tombstone

1229
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:20,000
tours. I can't think of tombstone Twilight Tombstone. Twilight Tombstone. It's not about

1230
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:28,480
Twilight. It's just at Twilight the time of the day. It's not about toilet. But I'm really

1231
01:12:28,480 --> 01:12:33,200
excited because they were sold out and I was like, oh, I didn't want it to go. And she

1232
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:38,480
was so sweet to offer to let us come to one of those. So I am dragging Caitlyn to a cemetery

1233
01:12:38,480 --> 01:12:46,720
for you guys. I finally did it. I'm going to cemetery. She's going to the cemetery. Her

1234
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:55,040
comfort item, Chris is allowed to go. I did have to ask for her. My companion husband.

1235
01:12:55,040 --> 01:13:02,680
I did when I talked about him. I called him your comfort item and our tech guy. Oh, yeah.

1236
01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:10,320
I mean, he does help us a lot technologically, especially when we travel. So, yes. Oh, boy.

1237
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:17,200
And that's not the only tour that we're going to be going on. Oh, season. And that's all

1238
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:20,560
I'm saying about that. You'll have to wait. Okay. I was going to say, are we telling them

1239
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:26,000
or no, we're not telling them yet. That's going to be its own episode. Oh, pretty sure. So

1240
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:32,040
I'm excited. How many times have I said stay tuned this episode? Just like keep listening

1241
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:49,040
to keep doing it. Please share us with your friends. We're going to do one more shuffle.

1242
01:13:49,040 --> 01:14:02,680
I get it. Send me all your energy from the future. Help me pull this card. Oh, seven of swords.

1243
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:09,960
It is a little ghosty holding up holding five swords. And then there's two kind of hanging

1244
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:18,680
out next to him. And upright, correct? Yes. Okay. Our keywords are uncertainty.

1245
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:27,840
Inclusion, impetuousness, stealth, cunning and strategy. Some decks, including the writer

1246
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:35,480
Waitsmith, Aquarian and Gilded Terro, show a man carrying away five swords, leaving two

1247
01:14:35,480 --> 01:14:41,440
stuck in the ground behind him. When this card appears, it suggests you're facing a challenge

1248
01:14:41,440 --> 01:14:48,320
or problem and must use caution to overcome potential danger. Please be careful out there

1249
01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:58,000
during the spooky season is in the dark. Yeah, especially, especially the upright seven

1250
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:04,880
suggests a tricky situation in which things are not completely clear. Very on brand for

1251
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:11,760
the season. You may be formulating a plan, but don't have all the information you need.

1252
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:18,400
Or the plan may be risky and could backfire. Don't be visiting abandoned buildings at night

1253
01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:23,800
to ghost hunt. Or maybe not cemeteries. I don't know. It's hard to say what it's about

1254
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:29,480
exactly. We're not going to cemetery alone. I'm having second thoughts. It is a tour with

1255
01:15:29,480 --> 01:15:40,320
tons of people around. It's guided. It's safe. Okay. Don't go alone at night. Okay. This

1256
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:49,280
card can represent surreptitious action and advises diplomacy. In a reading about money,

1257
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:54,840
the seven warns that you probably shouldn't go ahead with financial idea or investment

1258
01:15:54,840 --> 01:16:02,240
you're considering. Perhaps the risks are too high or the deal may be shaky or shady.

1259
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:08,000
Oh, what can I watch out for the shady deals? Yeah. The whole time I'm walking around

1260
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:14,760
the cemetery. I'm just like, I'm not making any deals. Might be beyond that. I'm just really

1261
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:19,520
focused on the on that whole thing. I feel I feel like once you listen to the interview

1262
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:24,280
with Margaret, you wouldn't you're not going to be scared of the cemetery really anymore.

1263
01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:30,600
Okay. That would be the first time in my life. But first time for everything. If the reading

1264
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:39,040
is about your job, this card suggests, oh, this card says don't engage in direct confrontation.

1265
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:47,800
So don't go all Zach Baggins. Zach Bagel bites the demon. Yeah. That's right. Don't

1266
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:55,160
Bagel bites the demons. Work behind the scenes to get results. The upright seven can also

1267
01:16:55,160 --> 01:17:02,480
indicate restlessness. Perhaps your job lacks the diversity or stimulation you desire.

1268
01:17:02,480 --> 01:17:07,000
Consider making a change. Well, I'd really love to. Will you support us on Patreon so that

1269
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:13,320
I can no longer work my soul sucking corporate job? Please. Please.

1270
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:19,720
Interreading about love, which is of course how you feel for us. And therefore wish to support

1271
01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:29,520
us financially. Please. In a reading about love, your advice to seek, compromise and use diplomacy

1272
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:36,720
rather than arguing with a partner. But don't just go along to get along. That's why I

1273
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:46,720
am no longer going on the tour because I cannot go along to get along. Yes, you can. Sometimes

1274
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:51,720
this card shows leaving a relationship that doesn't meet your intellectual or spiritual

1275
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:59,520
meaning. You're like, I'm leaving you. I'm leaving you. Yeah. We have nothing in common.

1276
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:08,480
Okay, there's an extra excerpt. Be focused and thorough in planning your strategy. As Barbara

1277
01:18:08,480 --> 01:18:16,240
Moore writes in the Guilded Turo Companion, be on guard or one of those swords he left

1278
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:25,400
behind. We'll find its way into his back. Okay, well, now it seems like it's hinting at

1279
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:31,200
murder. I just feel like it's just a good reminder for people because we, you know, drew the card

1280
01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:37,160
just for, you know, spooky season. So just a reminder to just watch out. Be safe. There's

1281
01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:42,360
illusions. There's all kinds of illusions. There's people dressed up. Just be safe. That's

1282
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:47,480
all. It's interesting though, because like in this card, like it just looks like, you know,

1283
01:18:47,480 --> 01:18:52,840
the sun is setting. Yeah. Earlier. I don't know. We were talking about like the twilight,

1284
01:18:52,840 --> 01:19:00,200
tombstones. Yeah. Okay, I'm going to read the extra excerpt at the end of the reverse

1285
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:04,800
interpretation. I feel like I'm going to live to regret it because it kind of seems like

1286
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:09,800
it's taking your stupid side. It always burns.

1287
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:16,040
It's a story that should be utilized as a source of strength. No matter what sort of difficulties,

1288
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:22,520
how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster. Do you want to

1289
01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:33,440
guess who said that? I have no idea. His holiness, Jesus Christ, the 14 Dalai Lama. Oh. Yeah,

1290
01:19:33,440 --> 01:19:38,280
no, I don't read a lot of Jesus quote. Yeah. I don't think there's a lot of Jesus quotes

1291
01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:47,840
in the tarot. I'm not. I'm not. Do we have anything else to share with the people? Or I don't,

1292
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:52,440
but if you guys, you know, want to let us know how if this card helped you out, if you're

1293
01:19:52,440 --> 01:19:57,240
listening to it at the exact right moment, you needed it. You can always let us know. I

1294
01:19:57,240 --> 01:20:03,480
think it's interesting to see like how far down the road when people are listening to,

1295
01:20:03,480 --> 01:20:10,040
you know, certain tarot reads and how they relate to their own lives that are happening. Yeah.

1296
01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:19,000
At that moment, it just makes me think of that. I think it's kind of a trend on, it's multiple

1297
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:24,440
platforms, but I always think of TikTok where it's like, I don't mean, I don't know who needs

1298
01:20:24,440 --> 01:20:29,880
to hear this today. Yeah. You know, and I'm like, oh, yeah. Because sometimes you know you're

1299
01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:35,800
seeing that sometimes, you know, weeks, months, however long after the person has kind of put that

1300
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:39,960
out. I mean, TikTok isn't things that aren't things dead off for like an hour. Basically.

1301
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:44,760
Yeah. So it feels like it's even more meant to be, right? I feel like it's hard.

1302
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:49,560
Lars is going to last for years and years to like 200 years down the road. Let us know how this

1303
01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:54,920
card relates to you. Take an end talk and, you know, is you sent me your energy and it went into

1304
01:20:54,920 --> 01:21:04,360
that card and it's for you. Well, let's go do some spooky shit. Okay. Yeah. Let's go be spooky.

1305
01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:10,280
We're going to be spooky for so many more weeks. I'm so excited. We really need to do midnight

1306
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:17,560
margaritas like very soon. Okay. Okay. Like for real, like a live stream actual midnight margarita.

1307
01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:21,720
Oh, we should. That would be fun. We can do that. Do you guys want that? Are you going to enjoy

1308
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:27,560
us at midnight? That's really late. But like you guys can do it. Like you're doing on a Saturday night.

1309
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:32,200
Yeah. Keep it fresh. Keep it funky. It's just a bunch of us sleeping. Yeah.

1310
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:39,400
We all have an alarm set to wake us up at midnight for the margarita. Probably more accurate.

1311
01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:44,680
That's what happens in the movie though. So that's more authentic. Is it? Yeah. She wakes her up

1312
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:51,480
with the blender. Yeah. She's right. You're right. You're my god. You guys. This has been a millennial

1313
01:21:51,480 --> 01:22:00,360
and elder millennial calling card from from from the jump. Okay. Let's do this. I have a blender. Do you

1314
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:07,400
have a blender? Let's do this. I have a ninja. I have a ninja too. It's a ninja blender. It is a

1315
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:12,520
okay. Yeah. It doesn't matter because you'll be here and we'll use my ninja. Okay. Okay. That's

1316
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:19,160
good. Well, everyone get your blender. Get prepared. Yeah. I think that's a fun idea. Keep you updated.

1317
01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:28,520
Yeah. Keep it posted in the meantime. Have a creepy ass day. See you next Tuesday. We're at midnight.

1318
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:36,040
Whatever. Unless you lost. Get one at the cemetery. I need my comfort item. I need my comfort item.

1319
01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:45,960
Oh no. It's my headphones. You guys. This is the mess. What is happening?

1320
01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:53,160
At witch cackle. That really got me in. We love to witch cackles. We better go.

1321
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:59,560
I gotta get the scroll margarita even though it's not midnight.

1322
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:09,560
