In this spooky and delightfully unhinged episode, we’re joined by “extra special” guests Shea & Jody from Rainy Day Rabbit Holes to explore the strange history and haunted happenings of Portland’s Crystal Hotel , a pizza-slice-shaped building with a century of stories baked in.

Located in the Pearl District, this vibrant, music-themed boutique hotel—now owned by McMenamins —has a rich and colorful past. It’s been everything from an auto parts store and a hotspot for underground gambling, to a string of lively nightclubs and a men’s-only subterranean bathhouse. Today, thanks to its significance as a safe and social space for Portland’s LGBTQ+ community , it can be found on the National Register of Historic Places .

I put them down.

23
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.200
Well, if you're new to our creepy corner of the world,

24
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:29.760
this is PNW Haunts and Homicides, where we chat about

25
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:34.120
true crime, the paranormal, and all things spooky in the

26
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.200
Pacific Northwest. And we do have some extra guests today.

27
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.280
We have Jody and Shay with us from Rainy Day

28
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.159
rabbit Holes. You guys might remember them. You might have

29
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:46.480
heard of them, you know, a couple episodes back.

30
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:49.239
I don't know. I think you meant to say extra

31
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:54.040
special guests, not just an extra guests. So although I

32
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:56.840
could be extra extra, i'll be special.

33
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:03.560
We have some extra nasty guests with us today because

34
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:06.439
it is the Pacific Northwest. If you're nasty, or the

35
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:09.520
PNW if you're nasty nasty, I don't know.

36
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:13.759
We said things out at order. It's fine. It's so

37
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:18.360
nasty in here. It's so nasty nasty. So we do

38
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:19.159
a Tarot.

39
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:20.759
Reading at the end of every episode just for a

40
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.960
little deeper insight into our topic. And we do have

41
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.199
Shan and Jodie's consent to do this tarot reading today,

42
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.039
so nobody worry about that.

43
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.960
Yes, explicit consent. We are into consent and we give it. Yep.

44
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:36.759
Really you hear us right here saying it. You just

45
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:38.120
don't know which one of us to do what you

46
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:43.360
want to do with us. I'm on my way. Why

47
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:45.400
I say that every time the four of us are

48
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:49.000
to get it so bad sanctual. We just have a

49
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:54.039
lot of sexual chemistry between we do we do? Yeah,

50
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.520
I know, right, unexpected joy And then you put the

51
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:01.000
sexiest poster of Bigfoot up ever how much right here

52
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:03.159
at that and keep concentration.

53
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:03.240
I know.

54
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:07.000
And a raccoon and in a little coon. He's got

55
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:12.759
a raccoon in his junk coon and his coter cooter coon.

56
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.639
Oh no, okay, So if you guys did not already

57
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:19.000
listen to our Shanghai Tunnel episode, you got to go

58
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.439
back and listen to it because it was freaking awesome

59
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.919
and you're slacking. This is kind of like a sister

60
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.360
episode to that because when we went and did the

61
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:31.360
Shanghai Tunnel tour in Portland, we all stayed at the

62
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:35.159
Crystal Hotel, which is in downtown Portland and it's a

63
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:37.280
mcminimon's which.

64
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.439
We'll go into. We'll go into all the history of

65
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:40.039
the hotel.

66
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:44.120
So excited. It's like Sisterhood of the traveling episode.

67
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.159
Yeah, kind of like, oh I love it. Oh that's cute.

68
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:49.400
We can do whole zero I know. And it's super

69
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.919
Pacific Northwest. Yeah. Yeah, if you live in the Pacific Northwest.

70
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:56.039
It's like, you know about mcminimens. You love mcminimens. Everybody

71
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:58.479
goes to mc minimums. Everybody has a passport. I mean

72
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.199
that was part of the adventure for us. Mcminimum's was

73
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:02.000
part of that adventure.

74
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.080
And if you don't love it, then you can't sit.

75
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:09.120
With us, no, because we'll be at MCMANI exactly, Yeah,

76
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:10.199
that's where our table is.

77
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:14.159
I'll try to sell you a passport everywhere we went.

78
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.759
Everywhere I go, I sell people passports, even not at mcmanimum.

79
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.079
They should just give her step I know. Yeah, they

80
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.519
didn't give me a job. I mean, you are kind

81
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.600
of also the rule police, so they should. They should

82
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.399
do a free passport. Oh wait, well done. I don't know.

83
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:30.279
Oh my god, I am I don't know. I don't know.

84
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:34.040
I was like, oh shit, I think we're not friends anymore.

85
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:38.560
I was just mostly mad because every time I tried

86
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.040
to do the thing that you got away with. I

87
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.519
would get a no, we can't do that. That person

88
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:47.360
has to be here and show their identification. And I'm like, yeah,

89
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.199
she's not a rule follower. She just thinks things around.

90
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:56.600
I'm not fair when somebody else gets to break the floor. Okay. Also,

91
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.600
I may have been drunk. Okay, you guys ready for this.

92
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.519
I am ready. Let's tell everybody about MCMI.

93
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:07.600
I'm going to tell them, not really about mcminimon's maybe

94
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:09.240
a little bit, but I'm going to tell them about

95
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:13.759
the Crystal Hotel specifically. So it is located in the

96
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:20.040
Pearls district. We were in the Pearl district, Yeah, bitch,

97
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:22.480
are we sure?

98
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.519
We were in the Pearl. It was a little rowdy

99
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:25.439
for the Pearl.

100
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.120
Girl. The Pearl has always been a little rowdy. It's

101
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:31.360
like the Brewery Block.

102
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:33.720
I don't know, I just have It was three o'clock

103
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:38.160
in the afternoon, Okay, okay yea. Also that Crystal Hotel

104
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:40.519
is on the edge of the Pearl district. I would

105
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.079
say the Pearl District is mostly north of burn Side

106
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.120
it is, so Crystal Hotel is kind of like they're

107
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:48.920
stretching it a little bit because they're on the south

108
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:51.240
of burn Side, but I think you're right. But Crystal

109
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:56.720
Hotel is kind of established, like Landmark in absolutely that

110
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:58.480
part of the city. So if they want to say

111
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:00.680
they're in the Pearl District, they're in the Pearl District.

112
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:01.000
Do it.

113
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:04.759
You're a pyal baby. So this building is actually pretty cool.

114
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:09.079
It has a distinct triangular shape, so like a pie,

115
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:14.079
a pizza, pizza, flat iron, whatever you want to call it.

116
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.240
I probably wouldn't call it a flat iron though, because

117
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.560
I think of that as like a hair straightener. Yeah

118
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:21.319
you're flat iron, yes exactly, but they do they do

119
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:23.720
call it that because they mean like a clothes iron.

120
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.480
So it's like those are like the triangles. Oh yeah, yeah,

121
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:28.720
my grandparents had one.

122
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.360
I feel like most people, like, unless your grandma just

123
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:32.360
had one laying.

124
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.319
Around, you might not know what the hell we're talking about.

125
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.279
This is, this is when, this is when I'm old.

126
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:42.920
I have an iron, one of those, and you know,

127
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:46.639
they're heavy. They're great. They're heavy because they and they

128
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:51.720
smash your great for murdering allegedly did not your husband

129
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:54.759
or whatever. I have zero zero references.

130
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:58.199
I love multi purpose tools.

131
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:00.680
Exactly, so they do use that term flat iron to

132
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.639
describe that that shape of building. And there is a

133
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.600
famous one in New York that's literally named the flat

134
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:10.399
Iron Building, and it's across the street from the Harry

135
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:10.920
Potter shop.

136
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:13.680
I just had to throw that in there. Oh hey,

137
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:15.399
they need to do that in Portland too.

138
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:18.600
I know, right, people probably wouldn't put in Harry Potter

139
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:21.800
shop now in Portland though I would think, oh probably not.

140
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.720
No. Jk. Rowling is a little bit problematic. That's sad,

141
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:26.560
I know, you know, they have to ruin all of

142
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:30.439
her fun. She had to ruin all that It was

143
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.040
created and destroyed by the same here. Yeah, it's so

144
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:34.839
Harry Potter.

145
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:37.079
It really is, actually, like if.

146
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:39.560
You think about it, yeah, really, it's kind of meta.

147
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:42.319
She should not be named well. And also, isn't she

148
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:45.079
the one who who wrote that Dumbledore is gay? But

149
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:48.079
then she has anyways, let's not get political on this,

150
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:49.680
Dumbledore is gay.

151
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:54.319
Oh yeah, she's famously like ye said that, yeah, dumble Doore,

152
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:56.199
she wrote double Doore is gay.

153
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:59.759
But then she has like huge problems with trans people.

154
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:01.680
So oh, holy shit, I missed that.

155
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:04.399
I gotta go down that rabbit hole later, that Dumbledore

156
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:06.040
rabbit Oh that's calling my name.

157
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:08.720
I don't even know half of it.

158
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.480
I feel like at this point, and it is a

159
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:16.360
wild ride and like not in like the awesome way necessarily.

160
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:17.040
Okay.

161
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:20.920
So anyway, this pizza shaped hotel has fifty one guest

162
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:24.439
rooms and the building is now owned by mcminimon's, which

163
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.800
we've talked about. It wasn't always owned by mcminimon's. And

164
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:31.199
the building is of course on the National Register of

165
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:36.120
Historic Places because that's what mcminimon's does. They kind of

166
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:40.519
like take over old historic buildings and breathe life into them.

167
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:41.480
Very cool.

168
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.879
And that's kind of all the history I have on mcminimon's.

169
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:47.600
So if you have anything else to say about mcminimon's,

170
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:49.320
we have an episode on it.

171
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:53.720
Yeah. I did an episode on the Elks Temple and Tacomo,

172
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:56.720
and in that I got into the history of mcminimum's

173
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:00.240
a bit. Okay, So let's talk about history. Are you

174
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:02.519
guys ready? Oh? I love it. Her favorite thing.

175
00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:06.840
So the building was constructed in nineteen eleven. The ground

176
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:10.120
floor of the building was originally an auto part store

177
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:15.399
and the floors above were Hotel Alma in nineteen forty six,

178
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:20.080
after having spent several years in an internment camp. The

179
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:25.600
Zakogi family bought the hotel, renaming it the Majestic. And

180
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:30.080
I did look for a pronunciation on yeah, the family's name,

181
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:35.240
and I could not find one. It is Zakoji. They're Japanese,

182
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:39.480
I assume, so soakog okay. So they bought this building

183
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.960
and then they renamed the hotel Alma to the Majestic.

184
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.759
And I was thinking about the name, and I was like,

185
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.440
I bet this place was like majestic compared to a

186
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:50.080
fucking internment camp.

187
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:53.840
Oh my god, yeah, right right yeah.

188
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.559
And it was said that this family made the place

189
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:59.919
a very comfortable and welcoming place for all the guests.

190
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:03.200
Oh oh, so.

191
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.159
The timeline here, it's kind of a little unclear. I

192
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:10.960
was trying to piece together several articles. But sometime later,

193
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.679
the autoparts store traded in its tools for tuons and

194
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:20.840
became various different nightclubs over time. The nightclubs that they

195
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:27.120
had there were Couchinas, which sounds like ooh, Couchinas, Club Mecca,

196
00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:34.240
the Desert Room Club Portland, and they all sound great,

197
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:35.720
and I want to just like go back, and they

198
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:36.360
all sound good.

199
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:37.080
Let's go.

200
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.200
They also had club baths baths. I can't say t

201
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:44.480
h and s. It's a real problem. Can someone say

202
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:45.960
baths is for me?

203
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:49.840
Baths? Baths? They had club baths, club baths.

204
00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:51.919
The more you think about it, the less you can say.

205
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:56.720
I know. So I have a flyer here that I

206
00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:00.879
want to send in the chat. It says the Majestic

207
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:06.840
Hotel and Club Beth bethis's the West's finest steam bath

208
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:12.919
with hotel accommodations, is Portland's most popular all night spot.

209
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:17.559
And then it has a little asterisk men only. I

210
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:23.600
just say it. So this was the gay spot of Portland.

211
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:29.759
It was what was this fire from nineteen seventy two? Yeah, yeah,

212
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:33.559
good year. I love that for the Crystal Hotel, right,

213
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:35.399
it was a great part of the history.

214
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:37.320
And I was thinking, I never knew that this is

215
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.639
something we should have thought about while we were down

216
00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:42.559
there soaking in the pools.

217
00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:47.879
Yeah right, who was soaking? Right? That's right? Bill? What's

218
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:51.279
having sex in this bath before us? How much come?

219
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:56.759
I don't know? Drains? The way that lady next to

220
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:03.559
us was potty mouse talking a lot, oh lordy god channeling.

221
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.559
She was channeling the view of past, right, past lives,

222
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.000
and I don't know about that.

223
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:10.960
I feel like the gays were like, we don't funk

224
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:11.600
with her either.

225
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:14.600
No, yeah, no, she's not a friend of the gaze,

226
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:18.480
I don't believe. But she was also nasty and not

227
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:23.200
a fun nasty oh no, oh my gosh. Okay, So

228
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:25.080
this is where I kept saying.

229
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:29.440
I kept saying the salt water soak is subterranean because

230
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:33.240
I learned that word when I was writing this episode Subterranean.

231
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:36.440
She loves the vocap word. Yeah, because I was like, oh,

232
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:37.919
this is just something fun.

233
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:41.120
To think about in our little subterranean saltwater soak, and

234
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:41.919
I learned the word.

235
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:44.639
It was like the word of the day. Subterranean. Love it.

236
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:46.879
So I kept using it the whole trip. And you

237
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:48.600
guys are probably like, why did the does this bitch

238
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:50.919
keep saying subterraneans I didn't even know.

239
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.159
I didn't notice that. Well, clearly they noticed, sad that

240
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:59.240
I didn't notice. Oh yeah, it's subterranean, bitch. I'm just

241
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:01.039
used to big words. No, you were.

242
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:05.799
Using it correctly and excited, so and we're all having

243
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:09.639
a good trip. So they're like, cool, yeah, subterranean all

244
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:11.200
you guys really do you.

245
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:12.639
Guys really pumped me up, thank you.

246
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:16.399
Oh okay, so I go on to talk about this,

247
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:18.200
So I was like, if you guys hadn't already guessed

248
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:20.919
by me reading you that flyer, this was a huge

249
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:21.639
gay scene.

250
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:23.679
Yeah.

251
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:28.360
The importance to the LGBTQ history was actually discussed during

252
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:32.360
its nomination for the National Register of Historic Places. Oh,

253
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:35.440
which was like, that doesn't happen very often. That was

254
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.960
like a really special thing. That's amazing. I had no

255
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:39.960
idea about the Crystal.

256
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:41.519
That is so cool.

257
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:43.799
I really love that. I love that so much. Yeah,

258
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:47.320
that's great, me too. In two thousand and seven, Mcminnimon's

259
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:52.840
bought the building and heavily renovated, reopening as the Crystal

260
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.519
Hotel in twenty eleven. Oh wow, that's a long renovation

261
00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:00.960
four years. Yeah, and it was more and I thought

262
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:03.960
of it opening. I thought it was the nineties. I

263
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:06.279
really did think it was the nineties. I'm so wrong.

264
00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:06.720
Wow.

265
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:11.960
But they also owned the Crystal Ballroom since nineteen ninety seven,

266
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.360
so they've had one of the Crystals since the nineties,

267
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:17.240
so you're not that wrong.

268
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:17.679
Okay.

269
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:20.919
This is a popular music venue just a block over,

270
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:24.679
and it's also a triangle shaped building.

271
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:27.480
I didn't know that until I was like looking.

272
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:30.240
At the like aerial view of it, and it has

273
00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.679
some like building attachments, but if you look down on it,

274
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:35.519
you can totally see like the triangle shape.

275
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:40.519
Interesting. One loves a triangle, I don't. Yeah, they love

276
00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:41.360
a pizza building.

277
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:44.440
And there's like a ton of history and hauntings of

278
00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:48.279
the Crystal Ballroom. So I'm gonna probably do either another

279
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:51.480
episode or another bonus on it at some point. The

280
00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:54.879
theme of the Crystal Hotel is a dedication to the

281
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:58.679
history of the Crystal Ballroom, naming each room after a

282
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:02.519
band or performer who lay there, and these were chosen

283
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:05.360
based off of what a group of mcminnimon's staff and

284
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.600
fans voted the best songs ever played live at the

285
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:10.480
Crystal Ballroom.

286
00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:14.799
Oh I love that. I've actually been to a concert there.

287
00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:16.000
It's a great concert venue.

288
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:16.360
Yeah.

289
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:19.440
Yeah, oh I would love to go. We should. You

290
00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:23.440
had to plan something there. I've only been to dance.

291
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:27.120
I've done both. Yeah, I've been in Lola's room and

292
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:31.039
in the main thing for just like dances, but not

293
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:35.559
a band. Yeah. I saw amos Lee there and before that. Okay,

294
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:39.200
so the opening act was this. It was an African band.

295
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:40.919
I don't even know the name of them. It was

296
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:44.759
authentic and they they played, and then I was talking

297
00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:47.879
to my friend and we had like we were up front,

298
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:52.440
and then they ended, and then I was just kind

299
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:55.399
of chit chatting with my friend but talking with my hands,

300
00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:59.639
and my thumb went in somebody's mouth as I was

301
00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:01.600
wave it around and I turn around. It's like the

302
00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:05.919
lead singer of the African man shot They'll suck on.

303
00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:07.799
I don't even know who they were. I should know.

304
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:10.759
He did not look happy. I was like, I'm so sorry,

305
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:13.759
and he's like he looked at me like, yeah, did

306
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:15.799
not forgive me, like you did it on purpose. Should

307
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:17.480
have been like, dude, why are you trying to stuck

308
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:21.919
my thumb? I should have blamed him for running into it.

309
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:24.960
You should have why did you run into my thot

310
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:27.200
in mouth? What did you put my thumb in your mouth?

311
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:27.519
For? You?

312
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:28.440
Sick Marv.

313
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:33.159
Honestly, men are so aggressive here right.

314
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:35.559
I was just standing there swinging my hands, and he's

315
00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:38.440
waiting for an opportunity for a woman to stick her mouth,

316
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:41.200
her tongue in your mouth geez luise, or her tongue,

317
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.559
her thumb, her thumb in your mouth also okay.

318
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:46.799
Hey, maybe it starts with the thumb. Maybe you move

319
00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:47.960
on then it turns into it.

320
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:51.720
Sure, I feel like guys they just walk around with

321
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:53.759
their mouths open, just waiting for things.

322
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:56.279
To fall into it. For a yeah, he was a

323
00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:58.639
woman part to fall into it. Any part will do

324
00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:01.440
it is okay.

325
00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:04.000
So we talked about all the rooms are named after

326
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:06.960
a song that was played live and everyone voted on

327
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.039
the best ones, and some of the room names include

328
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:17.759
James Brown, Jimmy Hendrix, The Grateful Dead, Blondie, the White Stripes,

329
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:20.839
Arcade Fire, and do you guys remember what rooms we

330
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:21.400
were all in.

331
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:24.559
We were in the Death Cap for Cutie room, Yes

332
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:25.440
we were, that's right.

333
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:28.440
And then but we were in two. We were on

334
00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:31.720
the second floor, right, Ye, kent the paintings in the

335
00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:35.160
rooms though, those are all original paintings created by local

336
00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:39.119
artists for all of these songs. And I was kind

337
00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:41.440
of looking through the website. I didn't see this one

338
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:44.279
in person, but I really like the one they did

339
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:47.480
of Blondie for Heart of Glass and they put like

340
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:49.880
a little Kermit the Frog in it. I thought it

341
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:52.319
was so cute. Oh I love that.

342
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:55.200
Yeah, did you guys see any other paintings that you

343
00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:57.160
liked or that you remember.

344
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:01.119
I mean, I've been in so many men's properties that

345
00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:03.160
it's hard to be like, oh, yes, there was that

346
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:08.039
mcminimon's painting that I absolutely love. I do know. Mcminimon's

347
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:11.880
basically employs an army of artists. Oh my gosh, there's

348
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:15.000
so much art like this, so much art, so many artists,

349
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:18.599
Like they paint the elbows of so all of their

350
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:22.480
buildings are historic, and so they don't cover up the plumbing,

351
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.240
and so they paint pipes like all the elbows have

352
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.920
like a face, and and the the mule posts of

353
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:34.440
the stairwells like paint faces on and everywhere, everywhere you

354
00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:37.400
turn there's art art, art, art art, So it's hard

355
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:40.240
to be like, yes, that's the painting that I absolutely loved.

356
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:43.400
It is fun, though, to stay in a room that

357
00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:45.960
you have a special connection with the theme, because that's

358
00:18:46.039 --> 00:18:50.440
every single hotel property they have. Every room is themed

359
00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:55.960
to something. So it's yeah, Krystal Hotel is songs of

360
00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:00.400
artists that have played their different hotels will have different

361
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:05.960
theme for who that room is based upon, so that

362
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:09.240
art in that room will be specific to that person

363
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:14.119
that they have dedicated that room too, and it's just incredible. Yeah,

364
00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:18.160
I mean, like to be an artist and work for mcminnimon's,

365
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:21.640
I feel like special thinking that how amazing.

366
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:24.160
I love too how they always have like in these

367
00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:26.839
rooms specifically, there was like song lyrics.

368
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:27.319
Painted on the wall.

369
00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:30.519
They always have like some sort of like quote or

370
00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:34.480
music lyrics painted on all the walls everywhere, and I

371
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:36.960
love that too. Was like you're like sitting on the

372
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:39.000
toilet and there's like a quote above you in the

373
00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:40.039
bathroom and you're like.

374
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:43.319
Oh, that just like made my day. Well, even in

375
00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:47.480
the hotels, like Crystal Hotel mostly has shared bathrooms, so

376
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:51.079
you're going into a bathroom that like everybody down the

377
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:53.599
hall uses too, but they still try to make it

378
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:57.480
like nice and special nice, and so they do do

379
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:00.319
different art inside the bathrooms. Yeah, they'll have a quote

380
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.119
on the wall, they paint all the different There's like

381
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:07.039
a lot of attention put into detail in their properties,

382
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:10.799
even in these shared bathrooms. That makes it special, and

383
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:14.000
I mean it should. Mcmonnon's is not cheap to stay at,

384
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:16.359
but they make it an experience to stay at one

385
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:18.759
of their properties, which makes it worthwhile. It's not like

386
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:20.559
saying it. You're not going to pay that to stay

387
00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:24.000
at a you know, holiday inn or even a Hilton,

388
00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:26.799
right if you're not getting the experience and.

389
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:28.960
Well and especially this one too because it has like

390
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:31.319
the soaking pool that you can go to this giant,

391
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:35.119
gorgeous soaking pool for free, like you don't have to

392
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:39.359
pay extra for the snowp pool. Okay, you guys ready

393
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:43.920
for some more fun stuff? Yes, okay. The Wringlers Annex

394
00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:48.200
is kind of the tip of this building pie here,

395
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:52.079
and it was built just it was it's just the tip,

396
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:53.960
like literally, I can't help it.

397
00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:57.319
I was gonna do that and I love you so

398
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:00.880
much that never left you more. That's what she said.

399
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:06.079
Just the tip was built in nineteen sixteen and for

400
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:10.400
time it was the smallest commercial building on the West coast.

401
00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:14.039
So do you guys remember that auto shop? Yes, this

402
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:18.000
was their tire shop. Oh god, cute.

403
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:19.839
Commn I know.

404
00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:22.799
And me and Caitlin like walked around the building before

405
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:25.599
we left and we did find this the Wringler's annex,

406
00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:27.559
this little tip and we were like looking at it.

407
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:30.359
They have a ton of like hanging plants. Did you

408
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:32.440
guys look at it. Oh yeah, I've been in there

409
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:33.119
multiple times.

410
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:33.720
We went and.

411
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:36.799
Looked right down in through the windows into the tip.

412
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:39.119
It's like a little it's like a little bar. Now.

413
00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:41.799
It kind of looks like a tiki bar. OMOI it

414
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.160
does a little bit, yeah, bamboo bar. Yeah, but it's

415
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:47.079
so cute in there. But they were not open, so

416
00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:48.079
we could not go to the bar.

417
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:48.440
Darn it.

418
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:53.599
So what is now called How's Cafe opened as Zeus Cafe,

419
00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:58.839
named after Nate Zeusman, who was known to run some

420
00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:02.480
gambling in the building back in the day. He was

421
00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:05.559
also known as Mark of Stark.

422
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:08.160
I don't have any clue.

423
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:09.759
What that means, to be honest, but I thought it

424
00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:12.799
sounded like kind of badass, like Mark of Stark.

425
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:14.960
I don't know, I don't know. It reminded me of

426
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:17.119
Game of Throne. I was just that bad to say that.

427
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:19.559
Yeah, And I think I'm just gonna quote these next

428
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:23.880
two parts directly from the articles, because, like you'll see, I.

429
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:26.799
Can't put it in any any better way. Quote. He

430
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:30.759
failed light detector tests in the nineteen fifties when he

431
00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:35.519
was fingered by Bobby Kennedy, leading to a federal investigation

432
00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:37.160
on racketeering in Portland.

433
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:37.480
Oo.

434
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:41.279
I love when people get fingered by the Kennedys. We

435
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:45.000
should all be so lucky. Unlucky. They fingered a lot

436
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:47.960
of people. Yeah, that's sure they did. They're still fingering

437
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:48.599
people today.

438
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:54.440
It goes on to say zeusman's wise cracking defense for

439
00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:59.839
facilitating easy female companionship. Oh, he was just providing customer service.

440
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:06.000
Oh okay, now, oh fingering a customer service. Okay, this

441
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:07.359
is fucking hilarious.

442
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:09.759
I mean top notch stuff there.

443
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:13.720
Really, I mean really, I was just providing.

444
00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:19.319
Customer serious servius. Emphasis on servis right.

445
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:24.759
I tip more than I'm just gonna say than just

446
00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:26.400
the tip than just the tip.

447
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:30.160
This cafe used to be named after this man. I

448
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:34.039
have another quote from the article in the Free Love

449
00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:38.599
nineteen sixties. The space now occupied by Zeus Cafe was

450
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:43.319
the Free People's Touching Company headshot. But tell me more.

451
00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:47.240
When the hotel was the Men's Only Club Portland Bathhouse

452
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:51.079
until two thousand and seven, sidewalk level cafe windows were

453
00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:53.039
painted black for privacy.

454
00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:57.519
Oh, the Free People's Touching Cafe dun't dun't.

455
00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:01.799
Don't the Free People's Touching Company headshop? Like what is

456
00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:03.839
that is that was head headshop?

457
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:06.039
Yeah? I think like headquarters. Isn't that what that means?

458
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:09.160
Their head Well, no, headshop would be like where you're

459
00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:16.359
selling like paraphernalia for pipes and pipes songs, and they

460
00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:19.559
would often in headshops like back in the day two

461
00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:22.960
they would often be like sex toys and yeah okay.

462
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:26.640
Head shops would often be like in the back corner

463
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:30.200
was like the dildo's and all that stuff, like behind

464
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:30.640
a curtain.

465
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:33.279
So that's what it was. That's what zeus cafe now

466
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:36.440
Hou's Cafe, which we nice I'm pretty sure we ate in.

467
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:38.240
Isn't that the cafe we were eating in?

468
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:42.319
Yeah? The band cafe? Yeah, yeah, How's Cafe.

469
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:45.079
Yeah, they were a headshop, which yeah, now that you

470
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:47.920
keep saying headshop, it's like ringing them about Okay, yeah

471
00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:48.680
I do know what that is.

472
00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:56.960
Yeah, it's like an extra three people's touch shop head nice.

473
00:24:56.960 --> 00:24:59.400
I feel like there's more to this headshop. I'm like blushing.

474
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:03.559
I want to go, right, can we bring this back?

475
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:06.000
I just set up a booth in the corner and

476
00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:08.480
be like we're just setting up history. The three People's

477
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:13.799
touching headshop come by and get touched just touch random

478
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:17.160
stret touch for history shit and Portland people would go

479
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:20.319
for it. Oh yeah, okay.

480
00:25:20.039 --> 00:25:22.000
So we're moving on. We're moving on a little bit.

481
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:25.720
So there is a small music venue inside the hotel.

482
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:30.480
That's what's in the basement. It's called Al's Den and

483
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:35.720
it was named after Portland's nineteen forties gambling overlord, Al Winter.

484
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:38.880
So there's a lot of gambling shenanigans happened.

485
00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:40.720
Do you know if it was ever legal or was was

486
00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:42.480
this all illegal gambling?

487
00:25:43.079 --> 00:25:48.519
Yes, I knowing what we know about Portland history, Yeah,

488
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:50.799
probably all illegal.

489
00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:52.920
Because it was this is like in the late nineteen

490
00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:56.279
hundreds or the right. So they named it after the

491
00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:00.359
gambling overlord from the nineteen forties, right, so, because like

492
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:04.200
in the eighteen hundreds, everybody had gambling in the parties,

493
00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:05.160
it would have been illegal.

494
00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:07.319
But I was like, dang, this mcminimon's kind of like

495
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:10.559
has a thing for these like illegal gambling men they

496
00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:17.720
do and Masonic places. I mean, yeah, don't we all Okay, ghosts,

497
00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:20.359
I'm going to talk about ghosts because there's some ghosts here,

498
00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:23.400
even though they claim not to.

499
00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:25.799
Have a ghost log, but we don't know. I believe

500
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:28.839
that rude. I don't believe them. Rude.

501
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:31.599
I'm going to go back and go back in somebody else.

502
00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:33.599
We're gonna go back and talk to some people. That's

503
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:38.079
just incompetence. If they don't have one, Honestly, it's irresponsible,

504
00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:42.880
you know. Also that so some of the ghost details

505
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:47.359
I dug up were some people see orbs floating around

506
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:50.039
the rooms at night, and I guess if you see

507
00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:54.160
them with your eyes, they can't be dust or a bug. Right, Nope,

508
00:26:54.599 --> 00:26:55.440
hut a percent real.

509
00:26:55.960 --> 00:27:00.279
They also see apparitions in both the rooms and in

510
00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:06.240
the bar downstairs. Okay, I'm not sure which rooms in particular. Actually,

511
00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:09.559
I might have some more information on that. Ooh, not much.

512
00:27:09.640 --> 00:27:10.720
But there's one story.

513
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:14.240
Well, you remember when we stayed the White Eagle.

514
00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:18.359
I was like, I had the wildest dreams?

515
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:21.319
Yeah, did you have wild dreams at this place?

516
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:26.440
You know, I don't think I had any crazy dreams

517
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:30.720
at this one. Just a lot of noise on the street, yeah, yeah,

518
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:31.880
in the red light.

519
00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:36.559
District that we were in. Right, something spooky woke me

520
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:39.920
up at five thirty. Oh that's just every day? Was

521
00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:44.720
it just life? It was just life? Yeah? Did you

522
00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:48.640
guys dream anything? Crazy. I don't remember. No, I did

523
00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:52.240
not have any experiences. No, I had nothing there. I

524
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:55.160
didn't even feel a vibe. Yeah, no vibe.

525
00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:59.000
Even I think the white Eagle is definitely spookier.

526
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:01.559
I felt a vibe in the room between the four

527
00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:04.240
of us, but that was it. Yeah, that's exactly. I

528
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:08.039
felt a weird vibe in the hot tub with the

529
00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:13.079
lady that was, but that was not a good vibe.

530
00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:16.400
It was filling the room, that's for sure. Okay, So

531
00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:18.240
some of the spirits.

532
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:22.799
There are apparently a former caretaker, a musician, which totally

533
00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:26.519
makes sense. Yeah, and a woman in white, because you

534
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:28.640
can't go anywhere haunted without a woman in white.

535
00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:32.880
He's always there. But I never wear white. Everybody's in

536
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:35.279
the robes there that's not a ghost, is people? A

537
00:28:35.359 --> 00:28:38.559
robe makes sense? I know. Oh my god, you solved it.

538
00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:43.720
Any mcmonsterly Scooby doo over here solved it. That white

539
00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:46.599
robe is all. So I'm like, I never wear white

540
00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:50.799
except for when I met mcmenimon's wearing one of their robes. Seriously,

541
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:55.039
if they were like a ghost in all of them drab,

542
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:59.039
then I would believe it all have draws. It would

543
00:28:59.079 --> 00:28:59.359
have been me.

544
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:03.839
She was in like jeans and then like three shades

545
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:04.720
of gray.

546
00:29:05.319 --> 00:29:11.039
Right exactly. Her hair isn't a pony it me. I

547
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:11.440
don't know.

548
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:14.160
I always just think like is it just a normal

549
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:16.599
lady in a dress, but like because she's a ghost,

550
00:29:16.599 --> 00:29:18.640
she's like see through, so people think it's white.

551
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:23.319
I maybe I don't know ethereal e cereal.

552
00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:26.920
I used to think like, oh, it's got to be

553
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:30.759
like old timey like wedding dresses and stuff like that.

554
00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:33.680
A lot of times, right, I'm always pictured or like nightgown.

555
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:34.720
Yeah that's what I picked.

556
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:39.519
Yes, yeah, But truthfully, like if you think about it,

557
00:29:39.640 --> 00:29:43.400
the truly like white wedding dress is like such a

558
00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:48.720
modern like thing that really, like if you're thinking about

559
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.799
somebody from like eighteen hundreds, well, okay, so that doesn't

560
00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:57.480
necessarily denote a bride. Yeah, my wedding dress had white,

561
00:29:57.559 --> 00:30:00.279
but it wasn't like, you know, white all Lowe for.

562
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:04.519
Well and white wasn't a wedding thing always like that's

563
00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:07.319
a fair That's what I'm saying. Really modern. So really,

564
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:08.920
if it was an old timing person, it would have

565
00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:14.640
been like homespun calico and probably gray or gray. A

566
00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:20.240
woman in gray is much more realistic, because even if

567
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:24.200
it started out as white, it's probably gray now dingy.

568
00:30:24.359 --> 00:30:27.559
But maybe they show themselves how they think we want

569
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:28.240
to see them.

570
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:34.559
Maybe you got deepest bunk today. I know all of

571
00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:39.599
us like we're speechless. Okay. What I really want people

572
00:30:39.599 --> 00:30:43.680
to see me as is in a gold sequin dress,

573
00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:46.480
so it would be the Ghost of Gold sequence because

574
00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:47.839
I never wear it, but I really want to be.

575
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:50.319
It's just like party time all the time. That's what

576
00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:52.640
I want people to see me as. I want everyone

577
00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:56.319
to see me naked. Oh, there you go. You never

578
00:30:56.319 --> 00:30:59.480
hear about naked. That's hilariously all right, let's all make

579
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:01.640
a pack that when we die, if we're going to

580
00:31:01.839 --> 00:31:05.319
ghost somebody, if we're gonna haunt, we're gonna be naked. Okay, Well,

581
00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:07.960
here's the thing. If you watch that that series Ghost,

582
00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:11.000
you gotta be naked when you die. When you get

583
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:16.720
sucked off what I mean, not watched Ghosts. Oh my god,

584
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:20.640
it's on Paramount Plus. It's so hilarious. When a ghost

585
00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:23.599
gets taken up by the light. They they're like, Oh,

586
00:31:23.599 --> 00:31:26.839
I got sucked off. I want to get sucked off too.

587
00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:28.599
That's amazing.

588
00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:31.200
I haven't seen all of that, but I've seen like

589
00:31:31.240 --> 00:31:32.720
the first couple of episodes.

590
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:35.319
Oh it's so good. It's so funny, especially the neighbors

591
00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:38.880
that are swingers. With all the upisode down, Pineapple, I

592
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:42.480
have one more thing to tell you. So, someone named

593
00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:46.799
Kimberly left a comment on April twenty first, twenty twenty four.

594
00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:52.400
It's about about a year ago I wrote, which is true. Okay, yeah,

595
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:53.680
that is true. Accurate.

596
00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:57.319
It was probably like literally a year ago when I

597
00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:01.160
wrote this, but anyway, yeah, it says that room two

598
00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:06.720
twelve is super haunted in Go. You were so close,

599
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:10.599
I know, I know, sharing a wall. We'll see what

600
00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:14.519
Kimberly says. Their comment says, my daughter was in the shower,

601
00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:17.319
no one else was around, and the bathroom door opened

602
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:20.359
and slammed shut. She thought it was one of us,

603
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:22.440
but we were down in the soaking pool and she

604
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:26.559
was alone. She also said she had like what sounds

605
00:32:26.559 --> 00:32:28.599
like very disturbing nightmares all night long.

606
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:31.200
Did they have did they have a private bathroom?

607
00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:33.000
I was gonna say, that's.

608
00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:36.559
I know, or did somebody just use their card key

609
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:40.599
open the door and slam it shot? Maybe if she

610
00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:44.519
didn't have Okay, so yeah, Jody just explained it, So

611
00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:48.039
I'm freaking scooby doo. The only rooms that have private

612
00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:51.359
bathrooms are on the corners. I'm pretty sure because I

613
00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:53.400
stayed in one with a private bathroom. So everything in

614
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:55.279
the hallway, So two twelve would have been right next

615
00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:57.720
to ours, so they would have been using the common bathroom.

616
00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:03.440
And we don't turn the dead bolt. Yes, somebody else

617
00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:06.119
can use their key card opened it up. So if

618
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:08.160
they opened it up and they were like, oh shit,

619
00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:11.640
somebody's in here and slammed it, Jody just explained that

620
00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:14.039
one away, So freaking genius tonight.

621
00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:18.240
No, that totally explains it unless she had the door locked, right,

622
00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:18.960
that's right.

623
00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:23.559
Information, but probably not.

624
00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:25.920
I would assume she just didn't lock the door because

625
00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:28.160
I don't know if it was a kid. She has

626
00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:29.960
said her daughter, so I don't know how old the

627
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:32.119
daughter was, but yeah, yeah.

628
00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:35.839
Someone younger. Well, I mean also, like, you have to

629
00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:38.480
use your key card to get into the bathroom, so

630
00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:40.680
I think you do that and you don't always. Yeah,

631
00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:42.720
I think you think that you have to lock it.

632
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:44.519
Yeah you should.

633
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:46.920
I mean I have to remember there is I mean

634
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:49.759
I have been sitting there pooping many times. And been

635
00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:52.559
like I did not lock this door in those those

636
00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:53.720
shared bathrooms.

637
00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:58.440
To pinch it off and waddle. Okay, well, we didn't

638
00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:01.240
have very many exciting ghosts. Story used to tell you, guys,

639
00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:03.160
but maybe one day if we get our.

640
00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:04.960
Oh maybe that's why they don't have a log book.

641
00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:07.680
Maybe there is nothing to blog. Maybe I was calling

642
00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:11.280
them incompetent and they were just using their time wisely.

643
00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:14.760
Right, No, I don't think so, I don't buy it.

644
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:18.840
Here's my theory. Okay, So if I'm gonna say I'm

645
00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:21.920
a person that believes in ghosts, if it was a

646
00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:24.559
gay bath house back in the seventies, then it was

647
00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:27.880
only good times in that building, and so good time

648
00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:31.440
ghosts don't haunt you as much as like sad time ghosts.

649
00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:34.400
I mean, sure, but that's only the seventies.

650
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:38.880
You haven't seen Broke Back Mountain. That is one movie

651
00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:43.280
also that I say. They can't have had all good times.

652
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:46.800
There's alcohol and men in the same room. Lawyered Broke

653
00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:49.840
that Mountain was out in the middle of nowhere. I'm saying,

654
00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:52.760
you can't have a hotel full of drunk men and

655
00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:57.480
not problems. They didn't have a soaking pool to relax in.

656
00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:01.400
It was a bath house full drunk men having sex

657
00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:03.679
and having the time of their life. So those go

658
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:05.639
show up and they just want you to party, and

659
00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:08.400
you don't realize that it's a ghost because you're just

660
00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:11.280
having a good time. You're just hanging out. You didn't

661
00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:14.440
even know you all the even hauntings were just somebody

662
00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:16.760
that showed up and wanted to party because it was

663
00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:19.000
all the good time ghosts from when it was a

664
00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:20.599
gay bathouse. That's my theory.

665
00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:23.760
Could be that they just thought it was a guy

666
00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:28.480
who showed up like, you know, after work, and what

667
00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:32.199
they didn't realize was it was somebody actually dressed up like.

668
00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:35.039
All well timey seventies.

669
00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:38.719
You know, No, I'm saying in the seventies.

670
00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:43.599
Oh, they wouldn't have if somebody showed up like in

671
00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:46.519
you know, something that maybe didn't look like.

672
00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:52.000
Right, wasn't that long ago? Well and also right nowadays,

673
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:54.760
if somebody showed up dressed like and looking like they

674
00:35:54.760 --> 00:35:56.880
came from the nineteen seventies, and it would be buddy

675
00:35:56.880 --> 00:35:59.360
would bat nye because that's kind of come back around,

676
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:03.320
like the shaggy hair pete like get that it looks

677
00:36:03.320 --> 00:36:07.440
so authentic right, they'd just be amazed they no ghosts

678
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:10.639
from the nineteen seventies if they showed up now wanting

679
00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:15.239
to like party in the mcminimon's soaking pool. Yeah, yeah,

680
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:16.679
so that's my theory.

681
00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:19.599
None of the ghosts are scary for do you think

682
00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:22.679
they the ghosts show up like just dick out and

683
00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:24.679
they're just like, why is no one like sucking me

684
00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:25.320
off right now?

685
00:36:25.400 --> 00:36:27.760
Like why is there women down there? Yeah? What is

686
00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:29.360
going on right now?

687
00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:30.199
Well? What?

688
00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:32.079
So I guess what we really should be asking the

689
00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:34.880
hotel is how many peomen have showed up in the

690
00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:38.760
bathtub with their dick out? And then we could be like,

691
00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:43.880
that's a ghost, not actually somebody just being a sex

692
00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:46.800
perverts and they just thought they were at a gay

693
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:49.039
bath house. We solved it.

694
00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:54.000
This isn't a me too situation. It's sort of a haunt,

695
00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:54.440
you know.

696
00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:58.800
Uh huh yeah yeah. So moral of the story is

697
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:01.719
if somebody shows you their dick and the mc minimums

698
00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:05.159
soaking pool, it's a ghost, it's fine, roll with it.

699
00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:07.320
Or if you want to go there and show your dick,

700
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:13.519
just claim you're a ghost. No, I would love to

701
00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:16.880
see how that plays out. Jony just gave people permission

702
00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:21.039
to expose themselves and mc minims just say your ghosts.

703
00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:24.239
I think you both did. You're equally culpable.

704
00:37:24.760 --> 00:37:26.280
Minimums is going to sue us.

705
00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:32.440
The opinions of the podcast do not necessarily reflect the

706
00:37:32.519 --> 00:37:36.719
opinions of the BMW Hanson homos Nides podcast.

707
00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:42.719
I solved two mysteries tonight. Okay, I'm the one who's

708
00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:45.119
supposed to be the big skeptics and solving things, and

709
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:47.559
she did it tonight. Look, I was the one who

710
00:37:47.639 --> 00:37:51.480
was in supportive gig ghosts. I'm the hopeful skeptic. I'm

711
00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:54.559
always like yeah, because I need the facts. I need

712
00:37:54.559 --> 00:37:58.480
it to be so real. I'm looking for that. And

713
00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:01.880
also in science, right, science, you go out to the

714
00:38:01.920 --> 00:38:04.840
whole thing is you prove yourself wrong. I love it. Sure,

715
00:38:05.400 --> 00:38:08.199
that is science. You you put your your theory out

716
00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:10.199
and then you go to work trying to prove yourself wrong.

717
00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:13.079
And that is what I do with ghost hunting, and

718
00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:15.719
that is how I've solved mysteries. Well, and the bathroom

719
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:21.559
door slamming, shared bathroom, but it's been pretty easy to solve.

720
00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:27.800
Also the nightmares also, nightmares all the time. I know, Okay,

721
00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:30.000
what we're the nightmares.

722
00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:32.159
All right, Well you should hang out with us more

723
00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:35.519
because I will have to want theted because listen, here's

724
00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:39.039
the thing is, Cassie believes in it and it doesn't

725
00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:39.880
want nothing.

726
00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:42.400
We talk about it all the time.

727
00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:46.800
It's like it's such a fuck boy energy with like

728
00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:50.039
spooky stuff. It's like, no, I want the girl that

729
00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:55.840
doesn't want me, you know with me? Yeah, okay, you're

730
00:38:55.960 --> 00:38:58.159
just you're just tuned out. I just have such a

731
00:38:58.199 --> 00:38:59.880
wall up your Yeah, your walls too.

732
00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:01.559
And they have this.

733
00:39:02.199 --> 00:39:04.760
They know I'm a people pleaser and they know that

734
00:39:04.840 --> 00:39:07.719
I have ADHD and they know they know it all

735
00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:11.320
and they're like, oh bitch, they saw me coming.

736
00:39:11.519 --> 00:39:15.039
Okay, hey hey you hey you Okay, Well, next time

737
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:17.800
we go out, we all have to keep dream journals.

738
00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:21.760
Oh okay, and compare I like that. Okay, that's the

739
00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:25.320
tip of the iceberg. We need to just have like

740
00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:29.119
wrist watches that are like EMF readers.

741
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:32.719
Okay, Oh yeah, let's do this ship, let's do it right.

742
00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:35.480
Next next field trip, we're gonna go somewhere that is

743
00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:37.360
supposed to be super haunted. Maybe we're gonna like his

744
00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:39.679
see the Head or something. Oh yeah, have you been.

745
00:39:39.800 --> 00:39:42.559
Oh yeah, we could. We could do one of those

746
00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:47.039
rooms down at GET. Is there like an electrical thing

747
00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:51.760
suit you can wear? There's there's things we can do.

748
00:39:52.079 --> 00:39:55.559
Cassie knows actually a lot more about it. Yeah, they totally.

749
00:39:55.639 --> 00:39:58.199
I can get you a ghost protector suit on Amazon

750
00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:00.320
and you're gonna be good to go okay.

751
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:04.000
On Amazon, but it's gonna be one hundred and forty

752
00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:05.079
percent more because of.

753
00:40:06.679 --> 00:40:06.760
It.

754
00:40:06.880 --> 00:40:10.280
Is nice though, to actually have like been somewhere so

755
00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:14.360
we could see the bathroom situation and then we know, okay, yes,

756
00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:16.639
these are all shared bathrooms. Because if you had never

757
00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:19.719
been there and read the comment, like, you might think

758
00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:23.599
that is spooky, but since we've been there, we can say, like, oh,

759
00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:24.760
it's not that spooky.

760
00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:29.079
I still think it's spooky because I feel like women

761
00:40:29.880 --> 00:40:34.239
are locking the bathroom doors. Now you might forget, you

762
00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:38.000
might forget, but I think women are locking the doors.

763
00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:41.519
Well, thankfully someone slammed it and didn't just go in,

764
00:40:41.760 --> 00:40:45.360
so exactly. I've actually, because I've stayed at MC minimums

765
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:47.719
enough with the shared bathrooms. I have had people open

766
00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:49.039
up the door when I was in there because I

767
00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:51.880
forgot to lock it. So it's not unhering, and it's

768
00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:55.000
slammed because somebody went, oh shit, Yeah, because when you're no,

769
00:40:55.199 --> 00:40:58.079
absolutely either because you're either on the toilet and you

770
00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:00.800
yell or you're in the shower and they realized that,

771
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:03.159
oh shit, somebody's in here. And I have done that

772
00:41:03.239 --> 00:41:07.440
to people as well. So yes, explains that one for sure.

773
00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:12.119
No, I mean, women are still humans, so we forget things.

774
00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:15.719
But I would say, by and large, you know, most

775
00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:20.400
of the time we're just situationally more aware of the

776
00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:22.760
fact that somebody could like walk in on me when

777
00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:25.760
I'm in the shower or I'm on the toilet or whatever.

778
00:41:25.960 --> 00:41:28.960
But weirdly, there's a sense of security at mcminimums that

779
00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:30.559
I feel like I let my guard down more. It's

780
00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:32.840
like you're at home. Yeah, yeah, that's the thing. I'm

781
00:41:32.840 --> 00:41:34.960
aut mcmenimums. It's like I'm at home. I wear my

782
00:41:35.039 --> 00:41:38.639
socks around into the bathroom, which is say I did that.

783
00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:44.639
I wrote my socks into the path of other people

784
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:48.559
around the toilet and I'm in my use this room.

785
00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:51.400
But I'm like, but I'm just across the hall. I

786
00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:53.519
don't need to put on shoes, do I.

787
00:41:53.840 --> 00:41:58.199
Yeah, Honestly, Olive Garden they have, you know, the saying

788
00:41:58.400 --> 00:42:00.599
like when you're here your family, and I feel like

789
00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:07.199
that's like the mcminimuon, like yeah, yeah.

790
00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:09.079
That is true, but I agree you wear be safe

791
00:42:09.239 --> 00:42:11.599
not maybe not everyone is safe. So please lock the

792
00:42:12.119 --> 00:42:13.239
Commutero bathroom doors.

793
00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:15.320
Yeah, always lock the door.

794
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:19.400
You'll care it. We're doing it.

795
00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:22.400
We have to pick a deck, Okay, I have supernatural

796
00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:27.840
or stranger things or beetle juice or Nightmer before Christmas.

797
00:42:27.960 --> 00:42:31.159
Oh oh god, you have to make me choose between

798
00:42:31.159 --> 00:42:36.760
beetle juice night Mary before Christmas? Can I choose? Because

799
00:42:36.760 --> 00:42:39.599
that's what I was gonna choose? Okay, I haven't used

800
00:42:39.599 --> 00:42:40.559
this deck in so long.

801
00:42:41.800 --> 00:42:46.079
Yes, please indulge her because there's certain things she's not

802
00:42:46.199 --> 00:42:48.039
allowed to do at my house. Do you guys want

803
00:42:48.039 --> 00:42:49.239
to play with the Ouiji board?

804
00:42:49.679 --> 00:42:53.000
I mean I'm down for anything. Okay.

805
00:42:53.199 --> 00:42:56.039
Oh my god, please someone Wiji with me because I

806
00:42:56.039 --> 00:42:57.320
can't with Caitlin anymore.

807
00:42:58.159 --> 00:43:01.719
No, Oh my god, I'm gonna ouigi Cassie so hard.

808
00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:05.480
He's luigimi. She makes it a verb.

809
00:43:05.719 --> 00:43:10.119
My god, you guys, you don't understand. Like I want

810
00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:11.119
to make her happy.

811
00:43:11.440 --> 00:43:14.719
I love her. Oh she wants to Ouigi. But she

812
00:43:14.760 --> 00:43:19.239
can't Wigi. She needs Ouiji viagra. No, I can't. She Actually,

813
00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:22.239
she's in an open relationship with the weed with you.

814
00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:25.760
When it comes to Ouigi, I can't. She needs somebody

815
00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:28.679
else to wigi her. It's like here too much for me.

816
00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:34.079
Caitlin refuses to Wigimi. She's never wants Oige. I won't.

817
00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:37.679
My pod wife just isn't into Wigi. So I have

818
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:40.320
to find Oigi outside of this relationship.

819
00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:48.559
Listen, polyamory is all about communication, Okay.

820
00:43:48.599 --> 00:43:51.039
Yeah, I mean it's very clear you've discussed it and

821
00:43:51.079 --> 00:43:53.559
you're on and you're okay. If she needs, if she

822
00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:56.840
needs to have her Ouigi needs met outside of this relationship.

823
00:43:56.880 --> 00:43:58.920
You guys obviously are fine with that. Yeah.

824
00:43:59.039 --> 00:44:05.079
I mean to get my weet, Okay, I'm going to

825
00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:08.400
shuffle the energy of the Crystal Hotel into this deck,

826
00:44:08.440 --> 00:44:10.280
and you all have to send your energy to me.

827
00:44:10.400 --> 00:44:14.440
Okay. Well, I feel like the energy of the Crystal

828
00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:19.480
Hotel escape send all the gay Bowery to me. Put

829
00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:23.920
it in this Nightmare before Christmas deck. I'm sending naked

830
00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:26.000
ghost energy. Yeah.

831
00:44:26.320 --> 00:44:28.280
I feel like I can't pick a card because you

832
00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:30.079
guys aren't sending me enough energy.

833
00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:33.679
Oh sorry, I'm soaking in the salt water.

834
00:44:34.159 --> 00:44:36.440
Oh see see you see how easy that was when

835
00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:40.599
you guys send me energy. Oh it is the eight

836
00:44:41.119 --> 00:44:45.360
of wands called the eight of candles, which I'm pretty

837
00:44:45.360 --> 00:44:48.440
sure candles are one. So we got the fun silly guy.

838
00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:50.960
I don't know his name or like what to call him.

839
00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:54.400
They look like coral snake in a different color. His

840
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:58.239
whole head is snakes. Yeah, he's got snakehead like joker snakes.

841
00:44:58.719 --> 00:45:03.679
Okay, I have it, Yes, let me know when you're ready.

842
00:45:04.159 --> 00:45:08.760
Little Ma's class. That's probably too fast.

843
00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:11.920
Right, dude. That is that's energy you're getting from the card.

844
00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:12.239
Let me.

845
00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:14.280
It's this one's just like a tiny paragraph and then

846
00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:16.719
I'll let you read the book. So it says the

847
00:45:16.880 --> 00:45:20.239
aid of Candles shows things are changing quickly. Now you're

848
00:45:20.280 --> 00:45:25.599
feeling industrious and inventive and heading into a fast paced

849
00:45:25.639 --> 00:45:30.199
time just literally the next week. Yeah right, I'll have

850
00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:35.000
so much to do. Yeah, for sure, use this fresh

851
00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:39.199
inspired energy to transform the mundane into something delightful. Which

852
00:45:39.239 --> 00:45:41.639
I feel like that's like the energy of the mcminimums.

853
00:45:41.719 --> 00:45:43.440
This whole thing a thousand.

854
00:45:44.519 --> 00:45:49.639
Yeah, yeah, everything's there is just a little bit more magical.

855
00:45:49.840 --> 00:45:53.039
Oh hey, it's I have tours for pretty gritty tours

856
00:45:53.079 --> 00:45:55.599
on Sunday where I'm just like taking old people to

857
00:45:55.639 --> 00:45:59.000
the bone side gardens into Paul's bow. I'm gonna take

858
00:45:59.039 --> 00:46:03.480
the mundane and turn into something magical. Yeah cute. I

859
00:46:03.559 --> 00:46:05.920
love it. If anyone can do it, you can do it.

860
00:46:06.039 --> 00:46:08.519
I feel like we all do that. Okay.

861
00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:15.400
Our keywords are action, excitement, new experiences, and urgency.

862
00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:17.719
What did I say?

863
00:46:17.840 --> 00:46:20.159
Something right?

864
00:46:20.840 --> 00:46:22.880
Sounds like a gay bathhouse to me, and.

865
00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:31.119
I described it as a lama's urgency. When the aid

866
00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:34.360
of wands appears, you can expect your life to speed

867
00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:38.599
up big time, almost like you're giving birth. I don't know, listen,

868
00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:43.400
that was my interpretation. Apparently, this card suggests lots of

869
00:46:43.480 --> 00:46:47.440
action and excitement coming your way. This is the carpet

870
00:46:47.559 --> 00:46:51.920
dim card. Whatever you put into motion now takes off

871
00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:55.800
at a rapid pace. They eight may also indicate a

872
00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:57.239
whirlwind trip.

873
00:46:57.880 --> 00:47:01.320
A WorldWind trip, like a girl's trip, like a girl's

874
00:47:01.480 --> 00:47:05.559
pod trip. I don't know. Yeah, we had a whirlwind

875
00:47:05.599 --> 00:47:10.559
trip together. Now we nailed it. I know we need

876
00:47:10.559 --> 00:47:13.119
another I mean yeah, I think it's saying we need

877
00:47:13.119 --> 00:47:17.039
another one. Yeah, Yeah, that sound future. That everything in

878
00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:21.159
that sounded future. So that girl's trip anticipation. I like it.

879
00:47:21.880 --> 00:47:25.719
The eight may also indicate a whirlwind trip. That's where

880
00:47:25.719 --> 00:47:30.039
we left off. And this was upright and correct. Yes,

881
00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:33.000
okay it was straighta.

882
00:47:33.559 --> 00:47:37.679
Straighta like a gay man's dick in a bath house.

883
00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:39.880
Okay, I'm done with the gay man jokes, like.

884
00:47:39.880 --> 00:47:41.880
A gay man's cocktail.

885
00:47:43.239 --> 00:47:46.320
This card shows a busy period in your life when

886
00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:50.800
you feel catapulted towards something you desire. Even though you

887
00:47:50.920 --> 00:47:55.960
may be a bit overwhelmed, You're excited and inspired, confident

888
00:47:56.159 --> 00:47:59.800
that all will turn out well, take a few risks, break,

889
00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:03.079
try new things, and let go of what no longer

890
00:48:03.159 --> 00:48:03.639
suits you.

891
00:48:04.039 --> 00:48:06.559
That reminds me of the family that came from the

892
00:48:06.639 --> 00:48:11.360
internment camp too, where they had this whole new life

893
00:48:11.440 --> 00:48:15.480
hastened after they took a chance in purchasing something. I mean,

894
00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:17.719
thank goodness they were even able to do that.

895
00:48:18.159 --> 00:48:21.480
Right, Okay, this next part actually makes me.

896
00:48:22.159 --> 00:48:24.280
That feels like maybe it could be a tie in

897
00:48:25.039 --> 00:48:28.960
in a reading about money. You may experience rapid gains

898
00:48:29.119 --> 00:48:33.760
or sudden opportunities. Perhaps you feel a sense of urgency

899
00:48:36.079 --> 00:48:41.320
in financial areas and may need to make split second decisions.

900
00:48:40.800 --> 00:48:43.280
Or that could be like the gambling could be that.

901
00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:47.719
Also, in a reading about work, the upright eight suggests

902
00:48:47.800 --> 00:48:52.119
a time of inspiration when things happen fast and you have.

903
00:48:52.039 --> 00:48:53.440
To make quick decisions.

904
00:48:54.280 --> 00:48:58.239
Your career moves forward rapidly and you have to hustle

905
00:48:58.320 --> 00:49:02.400
to keep up. This card can also represent job related

906
00:49:02.559 --> 00:49:08.039
travel ladies. Yeah, we're my pod hose up.

907
00:49:08.719 --> 00:49:11.239
That is cool that we this was like a job

908
00:49:11.280 --> 00:49:14.519
related traveling trip. And then right, I feel like it's

909
00:49:14.639 --> 00:49:17.599
it's this we pulled a good tarot there, Cassie. No,

910
00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:19.199
I think that one's just saying that I have to

911
00:49:19.199 --> 00:49:24.719
go to Woodenviille tomorrow. It's I don't really want to go. Yeah,

912
00:49:24.760 --> 00:49:28.920
that's like what an hour and a half? Oh god gross.

913
00:49:29.360 --> 00:49:32.480
In a reading about love, the upright eight points to

914
00:49:32.599 --> 00:49:38.960
a passionate and exciting romance. It can indicate a sudden

915
00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:41.880
love affair that sweeps you off your feet, or a

916
00:49:41.880 --> 00:49:43.000
hasty marriage.

917
00:49:43.320 --> 00:49:45.119
But it's just my dog. But did you say a

918
00:49:45.159 --> 00:49:45.960
hasty marriage?

919
00:49:46.119 --> 00:49:46.280
Yeah?

920
00:49:46.519 --> 00:49:52.960
Married quickly? Are we going to Vegas? Is our marriage

921
00:49:52.960 --> 00:49:53.320
with you?

922
00:49:55.440 --> 00:49:55.559
Oh?

923
00:49:55.599 --> 00:49:59.920
My god? You guys? Can we get pod married? We could? Well?

924
00:50:00.119 --> 00:50:02.519
I mean I already have a pod wife. But I'm

925
00:50:02.559 --> 00:50:07.119
not opposed to pod polygamy. Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing.

926
00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:13.960
I was already like pottyamory. I mean it's right there

927
00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:18.559
in the name. It really is Polly Pottery. No, that

928
00:50:18.679 --> 00:50:22.199
sounds like together. I'm gonna have to work shot this

929
00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:28.599
ghost pottery. It all ties together. Yeah, yeah, okay, I

930
00:50:28.679 --> 00:50:32.000
have one cool thing. So after I decided that I

931
00:50:32.039 --> 00:50:34.280
couldn't remember who this Oh you can't really see it,

932
00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:36.079
but on the card, I couldn't remember who this was.

933
00:50:36.119 --> 00:50:38.239
And I was like, I had an epiphany.

934
00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:45.280
This is the most flamboyant character in the fucking movie. Yeah,

935
00:50:45.639 --> 00:50:49.039
and it's the harlequin demon is his name. I googled it.

936
00:50:49.360 --> 00:50:52.519
So he's like the one that's like he makes like

937
00:50:52.519 --> 00:50:54.079
the fancy hat I think, or.

938
00:50:54.039 --> 00:50:56.760
Something that's incredible. I love it.

939
00:50:56.880 --> 00:50:58.840
But I just thought that was interesting that we pulled.

940
00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:02.079
We pulled the gay careater. Yeah we didn't.

941
00:51:02.960 --> 00:51:06.320
I love it. That's amazing. She didn't you hear? Cat?

942
00:51:06.639 --> 00:51:11.679
Where'sn't Kaitlyn going bath house? Bath house? Yeah? She totally

943
00:51:11.840 --> 00:51:13.519
that was her energy she was giving.

944
00:51:13.559 --> 00:51:17.280
And then I felt the card like yeah, so anyway,

945
00:51:17.480 --> 00:51:18.360
we got the gay card.

946
00:51:18.599 --> 00:51:21.280
No, I mean it's safe to assume that I'm either

947
00:51:21.440 --> 00:51:23.760
hungry or I want to go to the bath house,

948
00:51:23.880 --> 00:51:26.719
and that applies even when I'm not a nick Minimus.

949
00:51:27.079 --> 00:51:33.920
Ye have a creepy ass day, See you down the

950
00:51:34.079 --> 00:51:38.039
rabbit hole.
