- Tune in every Monday for a new episode of "The Saints That Serve Podcast" -
As the spooky season unfolds, we're diving into how personal beliefs intersect with entertainment choices. Whether you're a fan of Halloween staples like Beetlejuice or prefer a spiritual lens on your movie nights, there's something for everyone in our exploration of faith-based discernment. We explore the idea that being part of the Christian community doesn't mean rejecting all secular culture but rather understanding how to navigate it in a way that respects both personal and communal values. With humor and insight, we look at the biblical teachings on not causing others to stumble, applying these age-old principles to modern dilemmas.
What if the government could control the weather? Join us as we unravel the eerie threads of conspiracy theories surrounding FEMA and alleged storm manipulation. From the curious case of lithium mining permits to the relentless storms battering North Carolina and Florida, we question the motives and the political implications these events might harbor. As communities band together in resilience, we highlight the incredible efforts of volunteers and individuals stepping up where official assistance falls short, leaving us with more questions than answers.
And for those who relish in the mysterious and the macabre, our discussion on creepypastas brings the chilling tale of "Candle Cove" into the limelight. We dive into the unsettling world of this fictional children's show that sparks nostalgic horror among adults, blending the lines between memory and imagination. With a special shout-out to our cherished community member Tyler, complete with a quirky transitional sound and a humorous nod to his feedback, we aim to entertain and engage throughout this episode. As always, we encourage feedback and interaction, ensuring our podcast remains a vibrant and inclusive space for all.

Spooky Movie Traditions & Feedback
Speaker 1Okay , um , didn't know we could get comments on spotify . Yeah , that's why we're talking about it now . Yeah , so , um , apparently , from the back end of things a little , pull back the curtain .
Speaker 1Uh , you have to approve comments yeah and then you have to have an account associated with your podcast that then connects to that so that you can then approve the comments . So didn't know that we had comments . They were blind , they didn't like , they didn't show up . They are now out there for you to view and you are now able to leave us comments .

From the stats that we see , it looks like a lot of people are listening through the Apple podcast , but when I go and look at the reviews , there's more people reviewing the podcast through Apple as well . I think . So I think most of our listeners are on the Apple podcast . Okay , but we don't have any written reviews . All we have are comments on Spotify .

Speaker 2I am going to go ahead and apologize for tonight's episode as well . If I'm a little sniffly or nasally , it's because of that , it's because you're sniffly and nasally , sniffly and nasally .
Speaker 1So all right , well , are you ready to get into it ? I'm ready to get into this episode . Six , well , six . Is this our third episode of spooky ? Yeah , third episode of the spooky season . Yeah , all right , cue intro music . Oh no , I got , I got you , I got you that's all we have .
Speaker 2If we could somehow get the rights to the James Bond Golden , is it GoldenEye ? No , what is it ? It's GoldenEye , yeah , goldeneye . The game , the pause menu game , oh yeah , audio .
Speaker 1Oh yes .
Speaker 2If we can get a hold of that and just be able to use it free will . I think we should do that for .
Speaker 1Absolutely 100% Segment Unable to use . That I can tell you right now , I know . But if we could , not only will the Bond estate come after us , nintendo will come after us , because that was a big Nintendo game .
Speaker 2Freaking Nintendo man . Nintendon't , don't do it . Don't do it , no , all right . Well , tonight we're going to be talking about media focusing on movies that people like to take in . Don't do it . Don't do it , no , all right .
Speaker 1Well , tonight we're going to be talking about media focusing on movies that people like to take in during the Halloween holiday . So , first episode , we talked about Haunted House . The second episode , trick-or-treating this one , we are talking about this because you know , your kids go out trick-or-treating . They get their candy , they might go to a friend's house , um , or whatever . This is what I've always felt like is more of a tradition in um for adults . While the kids are out yeah , they are the adults sit around the tv and then watch those spooky and scary um halloween movies yeah , well , and so I've got stats for that .
Speaker 2So , when it comes to things like they projected , like how many people are going to do this or that , so 24% of people are going to watch a scary movie , compared to 12% of people will throw a party , or this one was surprising to me 19% of people will take my children trick-or-treating . So more people are going to watch a scary movie than take their kids out to go trick-or-treating . 15% are going to visit a haunted house . 13% will dress up in a costume . So crazy , crazy . This is what I don't get . This statistic says dress up . Oh sorry , I'm sorry . Allow me to correct myself 13% of people will dress their pets in a costume . I was like that seems really low .
Speaker 2That's really low , the only 13% 30% are going to , or 26% will wear a costume , so that's much higher than 13% , so add that together .
Speaker 1So wearing them costumes , that's right With the adults .
Speaker 2Yep or children . The number one thing that people said that they would do for halloween at 39 of people , it's pass out candy do you pass out candy ? No , no one comes to our house . Remember we talked about that last week ? Yes , spooky house , we don't even need to decorate , people just won't show up . And now , especially now , because we've got goats , so you just hear a random ah in the woods .
Speaker 1Imagine you , as a young child , going out there and you're like , ooh , I'm going to go to this spooky house , yeah , and your parents are like we're not going to drive up there , just walk up the driveway and get the candy and come back .
Speaker 2But at the road they've got road lights , but there's one light that's right across the street from our house , so it adds that eerie fluorescent lighting at the road and it's just pitch black up in the woods .
Speaker 1Let's be honest , like if you don't know where you're going to go to your house . It doesn't even look like there's some like a house . Yeah , it just looks kind of like a little path going into the woods . Yeah , yeah , it does so , but your house looks great . You have a great house . Hey , thanks , I know you're lying . There's a lot that needs to be done . You better get on that .
Speaker 2Yeah , but scary movies let's get into the scary movies . So what is your number one movie that you would say , like growing up you're like it's halloween . I want to watch a movie . What's young jairus watching ?
Speaker 1weekend at bernie's . Weekend at bernie's . No , no , that's not it . That's not what you said earlier . No , the true answer is a nightmare before christmas .
Speaker 2There we go we just so you guys don't know , this entire episode is scripted . We actually did three run-throughs to try and get to where we're at right now , so everything has already been answered , just kidding , that's not true either .
Speaker 1That's not true . But yeah , nightmare before christmas , um , really enjoy that movie . Um , just because I , I don't know it's not made this way , but it has a very what I feel like a positive undertone , christian message almost where it's christian message . Well , now , scratch that . Um , it would be more of like a somebody doing quote-unquote evil . Or spooky , spooky season and seeing the light that comes with christmas , gotcha , that's not , that's not it at all , but I've always kind of seen it that way . Or spooky , spooky season and seeing the light that comes with Christmas Gotcha , that's not it at all , but I've always kind of seen it that way . Okay , but that's one of my favorite Disney movies , okay , so I enjoy that movie . So earlier you asked me .
Speaker 2what's the three ? What do you think are the top three listed movies for Halloween ?
Speaker 1And I named three . And how many of those did I get right ? Three , I got all three right , yeah .
Speaker 2It was Hocus Pocus , Halloween and the Nightmare Before Christmas . Now I only looked at two different websites that people were like , hey , these are the top ones , but those three are in the top three slash four . For some reason , this other website that I went to put trick or treat as number three and you said you've never seen that movie , right ?
Speaker 1no , I've never seen it . So it's like an anthology type movie where it's like a bunch of different spooky stories strung together with the same little kid wearing a pumpkin running around and that's like the connecting fiber of all of it is like all these things happening in this town and then in each story you kind of see the little kid running around influencing these things , gotcha , which ends up not being a little kid .
Speaker 2So we're going to get to some of the outlandish ones that I thought were on this list . So I told you ET is on this list .
Speaker 1Yeah , you said that was number seven . Yeah , why is ET a Halloween ?
Speaker 2movie . I don't know , but guess what else is on the list ? Just 80s anthem go-to movies .
Speaker 1What do you think ? Not Harry Potter ? No .
Speaker 2It does have Halloween in the movie , but it is not a Halloween movie .
Speaker 1I was going to say Die Hard , but that's Christmas . Yeah , that's Christmas . What's irritating me about this is I think you told me this before we started recording . I don't think so . Oh okay , Give me another hint here . I don't think so ? Oh okay , Give me another hint here .
Speaker 2I can't give any other hints without giving it away .
Speaker 1That's okay . Give me another hint , okay , alexa , alexa , karate Kid . Oh , because it does take place during Halloween , because there's a portion of the movie where it's Halloween . Like a huge pivotal moment in that movie where he first halloween . Like a huge pivotal moment in that movie where he first meets mr miss me , where he finds out mr miyagi miyagi , thank god , right , because , like um the boy , the two bullies are chasing after him and they're dressed up as skeletons . It was like a halloween party in that movie . Yep , do you know ?
Speaker 2what number that comes in . Uh , the website this is variety variety has ranked the top like 20 movies to watch for halloween .
Speaker 1So let's just go with that variety um all our stats coming from variety for this conversation .
Speaker 2Well , I've got . So imdb has a bunch listed , but variety also has 21 , so I've been going off of this one . We can jump back and forth , but uh , karate kid 21 number 10 .
Speaker 1Yep , number 10 for Karate Kid . I almost feel like people just come up with an excuse to watch any movie around the holiday . Same way with Harry Potter , like oh , there's a Christmas scene in it , it's a Christmas movie . Same way with Die Hard , which , when we get to Christmas time . I got some things to say about Christmas movies , okay .
Speaker 2Well , number 21, . The very last one on the list is Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark . It looks like a- .
Speaker 1That came out- 2019 is when it came out . I went and saw that movie . That was actually a pretty good movie , yeah , but the screen was incredibly dark and I thought that's how the movie was made Mm-hmm . And there was moments watching that movie where I think you couldn't even tell what was going on . Found out later , that's just . The movie theater is really bad , yeah , and so I've never seen it since . But , like I'm pretty sure I missed a lot in that movie . Ernest Scared Stupid is number 15 . I've seen that as well , actually .
Speaker 2I've been seeing okay , there's one that's on here , terrifier 2 , number 14 . I've been seeing this clown a lot of old art , the clown . Yeah , it looks pretty messed up and we talked about that before we went live , about how the connection of horror and clowns and how it's weird that that is , they go hand in hand with each other .
Speaker 1So me and my wife watched that movie two nights ago . Terrifier 2 , terrifier 2 yeah , terrifier 3 comes out tomorrow . What , yeah , terrifier 2 came out like last year . Yeah , what , yeah , terror fire 2 came out like last year . Yeah , this movie . We're not going to get into this movie , it's . Is it bad ?
Speaker 2it's , it's bad yeah , okay , so this made the list . I was surprised it did . But also , in a weird connection , I've been getting a lot of not a lot . I've gotten several like short reels , just snippets from this movie , recently on my um social media .
Speaker 1Is this terrifying you're talking about , or something different ?
Speaker 2No , something different . This is number 11 on the list . What ?
Speaker 1do you think it is ?
Speaker 2It . It's someone has to do with Halloween . It's got um Johnny Depp in it . Oh , sleepy Hollow . Yeah , dude , you're on point . I just said Johnny Depp and you were like Well , I'm trying to think .
Speaker 1I was just thinking about all these different movies that could fit in to it . It doesn't take place during Halloween , but really the question is how many Halloween movies take place during Halloween , like on this list ?
Speaker 2Yeah , Okay , this is what I was surprised by . So on Variety , they don't have this movie listed . On IMDb it's number eight , beetlejuice . I would have thought Variety would have had that on their list .
Navigating Scary Movie Choices and Beliefs
Speaker 2I feel like that is like a go-to Halloween movie for people , in the sense that because people like to watch Hocus Pocus , I would think Beetlejuice would be somewhere around there . What I'm trying to say is Beetlejuice makes more sense than ET . Yeah , for sure , I know that it's happening around Halloween because they dress him up as a ghost or whatever .
Speaker 1Oh , there is a Halloween scene in that movie . Yeah , but I forgot about that because there's like the moment in that where ET like runs into like a little Yoda .
Speaker 2Yeah , in that scene I remember that now , and the iconic bike flying through the air in front of the moon . He's wearing the sheet , the bed sheet I don't think that's the same scene .
Speaker 1I think that he just happened to have a bed sheet in that basket and that scene takes place later on in the movie .
Speaker 2I don't think that that takes place okay I guess we're gonna have to find out now yeah we'll do a bonus , we'll do a bonus episode .
Speaker 1We'll do a bonus To let everybody know . We'll call that the fact , fact check .
Speaker 2The fact check . But I'll post both of these lists with our show notes for the show . But let's go ahead and let's just get into it . What do you think about halloween theme or scary movies ?
Speaker 1um , so I think we went over this . Um , I think at the beginning of this , I don't have a problem with a movie that has scary themes , thrilling themes , stuff that puts you on edge . My thing about movies is I don't want to watch something that could compromise me spiritually . Yeah , so when it comes to something like entity and essentially losing their soul or something to that effect , I'm not gonna , I don't want to watch anything like that . Yeah , yeah . Okay , somebody being spiritually attacked and not overcoming that , yeah , yeah .
Speaker 2Yeah , and I'm on the extreme opposite side from you where it's like , if it has anything to do with fright or fear , I really just don't . I'm like I'm not entertained by it and I just don't want to get into it , it and I just don't want to get into it . So I think that and I think that this is important for people to hear it's like your salvation is not based on your tolerance for entertainment . Like to be a christian doesn't mean that like you don't watch any movies or listen to any music or anything . Being a Christian is receiving the grace that's given to you only through Christ and seeking to follow him every day , living a life of humble repentance and joy and the forgiveness that you find in Christ . And I think that as you live that life , you know there'll be refinement . We call you know people use the word sanctification where it's like if there's destructive habits in your life , um , the Holy spirit will convict you to cut those out of your life , you know . So I think it's important because Paul kind of touches on that , the idea of like he's talking about meat offered to idols in the book of first Corinthians . But I think that the morality or the moral of what he's getting at can be applied here , where it's like if you have the freedom in christ to do it , it's not really a sin . But if a younger person in the faith struggles and views it as a sin , then it's your job as a brother in christ who's more mature along the line to abstain from it while that younger , immature brother or sister in christ is around . So he's talking about . You know , they buy the meat in the market , but the meat's already been offered as a sacrifice to an idol . But it's just . It's , you know , discounted meat , if you will , is the context for the story , and so some people are like well , if I eat the meat that's been offered to an idol , am I sinning against god because it's been used in a pagan ritual ? And this , you know , it's meat , it's just meat . Idols are nothing . These idols are made out of materials . They're not god , and so some people have that freedom to be like I'm not worshiping that god , I'm not participating in the worship of that god , I'm just eating the meat that's been used in the aftermath . I think it's harder but he made the point it's harder for some new believers to be like I don't see the difference . It looks like you're just participating , and so Paul points that out . It's like you're not . I mean , you're not worshiping that God , you're just eating the aftermath of it .
Speaker 2But if you have someone who's a new convert , who sees you doing that and can't make the distinction between the two , rather than trying to justify your actions and vindicate yourself , just don't do it for their sake . And that's a really good argument used for alcohol , because I know there's a lot of christians that think , I mean , we're deep in the southern baptist area , you cannot drink anything . Jesus turned water into grape juice , like that's what they believe . So , um , drinking is is wrong and there's not really any solid biblical evidence to say like drinking alcohol is wrong . The Bible really hits hard on being a drunkard and not being consumed with alcohol and making it your idol .
Speaker 2But if you got someone who's a believer that's coming around , who can't distinguish and is , like I know , think drinking , drinking in general is a sin , you don't need to vindicate yourself so you can have a drink . You know it's better to just okay . Well , I'm , I'm not gonna drink when you're around . Just right for you , because that's what will bring unity in this situation me abstaining from a beer tonight because you're present and I'm not doing it in a scornful upset way , like , ah man , I can't drink because Donnie's here . It's out of love . It's like , hey , I know that they view this as a sin and it's hard for them to not think negatively of me if I'm drinking . Even though I have the freedom in Christ to have a beer , I'm going to abstain from it for the sake of unity tonight with my brother in Christ .
Speaker 1So what you're saying is in my case , if I go to somebody's house and they struggle with scary movies , it gets in the way of their faith .
Speaker 2I shouldn't be sitting there come on , man , just watch it anyways . Yeah , I mean , is it going to end your world if you just suggest another kind of movie to watch ?
Speaker 1Yeah , it's not . We'll end up watching my Little Pony . I get it .
Speaker 2Yeah , I mean it comes back around to what we talked about in episode four . It's like when it comes to movies , you get really drawn into the overall , like everything about the movie the lighting , the scenic shots , the buildup , the sound , like everything , the acting , the method acting , all all of it . Like you get drawn into all of it so you're consuming everything in the movie . Compared to me where it's just like oh , story is either good or bad . You know , like I don't get caught up in the , the lighting or the effects or any of that stuff like it , it just all blows over my head . It's either it's a good story or it's not . Yeah , no so but you know you watch scary movies and I don't and I don't judge you for it Like I'm not like over here condemning you for .
Speaker 2Yeah , when I'm not around , yeah well , oh , when I'm around , yeah , when you're around , I don't when you're not around .
Speaker 1You should hear me you don't do that either , because you're a good friend , and that's right . Good Christian , that's right yeah .
Speaker 2So I think that that's kind of the big takeaway for this is going back to like haunted houses , use your discernment . Like if the spirit is convicting you or you feel uneasy about consuming some sort of media , the best thing to do is to just cut it out because you really don't need it in your life . It's kind of just a . It's a , it's a bonus thing . It's not a human need or right to consume entertainment . It's entertainment . Like you , you can or cannot . You don't need it to survive or live .
Speaker 2Uh , so if you have a any kind of inkling of conviction or concern , just try not doing it . You know , don't don't let peer pressure dictate what you do . Um , and you can do that in love . But you know , if you don't have any issues and you're totally fine with what you're doing and it's not sacrilegious , then I don't know if it's necessarily wrong for you to do it . But you know you need to be aware that let me be a dad for a minute there are spiritual entities that are roaming the world looking to enter into one's soul and possess and harbor and bring destruction and chaos , because that's all that the enemy has . The only thing that the enemy lives off of is destruction and chaos , and so he roams around like a roaring lion , looking for a soul to devour .
Speaker 1He will do anything to separate you from God .
Speaker 2He will do anything he can to get his teeth in you and distract you from the light of Christ and consume you in darkness . But if the light is shining , the darkness cannot overcome it . So keep that in mind . Embrace the light of Christ , let it shine in your life , and the darkness will not overcome it . When you reject that light is when you willingly embrace darkness . Satan cannot defeat Christ . Satan can only have dominion and power over what he's been given to have dominion and power over .
Speaker 1To quote Duck Dynasty . That's a fact , jack .
Speaker 2That's a fact , jack , yeah , dynasty . Uh , that's a fact , jack . That's , that's a fact , jack , yeah . Um
Finding Peace in Troubling Times
Speaker 2, first , john 4 , 18 .
Speaker 2There is no fear in love , but perfect love casts out fear , for fear has to do with punishment , and whoever fears has not been perfected in love . So , um , I wanted to leave that with you . Like , if you are fearful , if you're afraid , you're living in the condemnation that comes from sin . Um , you don't have to live there . Christ has paid the price for you to be forgiven of sin so that you can live in light and you can live in perfect love . So you know , if you're not a believer , repent and receive that forgiveness and that grace that only comes through Jesus Christ .
Speaker 2If you are a believer and you're still operating in fear , you need to look at your identity as in Christ . Your identity is in that perfect love and you need to adopt and embrace that identity . That identity only comes from Jesus and being a child of God . So if you're operating in fear , take time .
Speaker 2If you're operating in fear , take time , pray before the Lord , read your Bible with the intentions of I want to be in the perfect love that only comes through Christ . And when you operate in that , then you'll be able to fully live out what we see in Psalms 23 , 4 , where it says even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death , I will fear no evil , for you are with me , your rod and your staff . They comfort me . And so you know , this is kind of using the metaphor of a shepherd . A shepherd carries a staff and they use that staff to protect their sheep but also to guide them . And so , looking at that , as , even though it seems like there's darkness all around , if Christ is our shepherd and we believe in him and we are his sheep , we trust him to protect us and guide us through that valley , and we have comfort in that .
Speaker 1And even though you aren't seeing what am I trying to say , even though you are not seeing the bigger picture your shepherd is . You're just a sheep .
Speaker 2Yeah , you don't need to know the outcome , you just need to know that he's present and he has your back . He has your back . So , yeah , that's my encouragement and my challenge .
Speaker 2You know , if you're not , if you don't know , just don't go or watch , or watch . Yeah , that too Okay . Do you have anything else to say about that ? You want to talk about any other movies ? What's your recommendation for Halloween ? What do you think ? Halloween movie Good watch , I'll go back to it . Nightmare Before Christmas . About any other movies what's your recommendation for halloween ? What do you think ?
Speaker 1halloween movie good watch , I'll go back to it . Nightmare before christmas , you think everyone should watch nightmare for christmas . I think that it is uh , a good enough movie that it has that good enough lesson at the end . Yeah , that it , um , is a decent movie to watch around . Ha . I wouldn't recommend watching Halloween around Halloween . Yeah , and Hocus Pocus I've never seen .
Speaker 2I have no desire to see Hocus Pocus Because of witchcraft , yeah , witchcraft which we talked about . Run Run , Run from that . Anyways , yeah for me . Since it's on the list , I'm going to recommend Karate Kid . Yeah , Anyways , yeah for me . Since it's on the list , I'm going to recommend Karate Kid . Yeah , Because the moral of the story is anyone can do karate . My other recommendation again Weekend at Bernie's Karate is so easy that you can do it with literally one leg . That's the moral of the story for Karate Kid ?
Speaker 1That's right . Wax on wax off that's right . Wax on wax off that's right . Kick your opponent in the face .
Speaker 2Make sure you wax yourself up , and then you can go with one good leg and just obliterate someone who's been doing karate for years ?
Speaker 1Have you seen that Destiny legal move he wins with in karate , kicking the ? Guy in the face he wins the tournament by cheating and no one cares .
Speaker 2Do you remember Dookie , from when we worked at the electronics company ?
Speaker 1Yes .
Speaker 2Dude . He used to always say Johnny , sweep the leg . I remember that . Anyways , anyways .
Speaker 1Moving on . Yeah , johnny , sweep the leg . I remember that . Anyways , anyways , moving on . Yeah , you want to give us a little ?
Speaker 2segue , I do . I want to let everyone know . This is for Tyler , if you're listening . We are officially moving on to the next topic Segue , segue , segue . I'm hoping that you are still listening . He gave up because he thought we yeah it one episode and there's too much jumping around . No , but hopefully you're still listening and this one's for you . We are moving on to the next topic , which is we get a lot of storms coming through right now . That's right . It's crazy that we had hurricane helene , which I called helena . Yeah , that's right , but it's helene . I was . I would . For those who didn't know , I'm not stupid , I was joking around . I was just saying uh-huh everybody .
Speaker 1Just so you know johnny's not stupid , he just doesn't know how to read , guys , yeah , he never learned how to read no , but I want , because I even did a , did a little bit of an accent , I went Helena .
Speaker 2So anyways , but yeah , hurricane Helene came through obliterated .
Speaker 1Oh , I get it . That's why all the jokes were saying Helene , like Jolene Dolly Parton , yeah , okay , got it . Anyways , obliterated .
Speaker 2North .
Speaker 1Carolina . And then what's this one that's hitting right this second ?
Speaker 2Yeah , literally , as we're recording milton is hitting florida . Did you say that right , milton ? Yeah , I believe so , unless someone wants to correct me later on , which you can do on any of our social platforms . That's correct . That's correct , which , by the time this comes out , it'll have come and gone . Sure , but I saw today there's wildfires in wyoming as well and they're projecting another hurricane that's going to hit florida after america .
Speaker 2So a lot of stuff's going on and we are praying for everyone that's being affected by these storms and we're going to be putting together information for good places for you to be able to donate to , because a lot of the help that's been going on for North Carolina with the storms because there's still people that are missing , like they're trapped in the mountains and valleys and they can't get out and so we don't even know what the death toll is yet , right , but most of the help has been volunteer work . So there's been some National Guard , there's been some local rescue , enforcement and stuff , but a lot of the search and rescue and delivering of supplies has all been private individuals volunteering and Samaritan's Purse has been getting out there .
Government Weather Control and Conspiracy
Speaker 2Fema this is allegedly . I can't verify this because it's only videos that people post online . Apparently , fema has been trying to disrupt supply chains and deliveries made by volunteers .
Speaker 1Because they benefit from helping the people .
Speaker 2The government pays them to do it , so they don't get paid if they don't do it . But also , fema is like a government thing . It's not like the government waits for a storm and then pays FEMA . Fema gets money for the fiscal year and then if they spend it all , they spend it all , so it's not like they're going to make more money from doing this . But I've also heard once again , this is all hearsay that they spent all their money on all the massive illegal immigration that's been coming through , like trying to house all these people and give them food and stuff . That now there's no money to rescue the Americans that are trapped in North Carolina .
Speaker 1And then also means there's no money for them to help these people being hit right now .
Speaker 2Right now Yep that are getting hit in Florida for Milton , which Milton could curve and go along the East Coast as well and cause more havoc , more havoc , which is what I want to get into . This is all alleged because I don't have any source documents to present yet . I'm trying to find them , so what ?
Speaker 1we're going to do , though , is we're going to release a bonus episode , with us praying over that bonus episode , with us praying over that , and because we don't have the information , good information also in that bonus episode that will come out way before this episode does as well .
Speaker 2Yeah , we're trying to find solid places that you can send your money and donations to help these victims , like I want every single dollar you give to go right into helping people . So we're going to try and find the good places for you to donate and we'll list those in our bonus episode and we'll be praying for them . And and as as bad as it sounds , we're kind of waiting to see what Milton does so that we can be more strategic and effective in our voices . You know on how , on how to help our voices . You know on how to help . So you know after , you know today or tomorrow . We're recording right now , but by the time the bonus episode comes out , milton will have gone through , so we'll be able to let you guys know . You know what to do .
Speaker 1Funny enough , you would have already heard the bonus episode . Yeah , way before this episode but as of this recording , we haven't recorded the bonus episode yet yeah , way to .
Speaker 2Yeah , we're just trying to expose ourselves to you guys . I'm just trying to be vulnerable , um . But yeah , I want to get into the conspiracy side of these storms . Let's do it so you don't really know anything about this .
Speaker 1We talked about it ever so slightly .
Speaker 2We talked about it for two seconds and you were like no , I don't believe that and you said all right I said episode yeah . I said okay , I'm gonna save it for the episode . So this is raw , you guys . But I'm a conspiracy theorist . I love getting into these things and deep diving and seeing what the alleged information is out there about and I'm a normal person and you're a normal human being ?
Speaker 2no , I'm kidding , um , but okay , so this is factual . The government has been experimenting with cloud seeding and redirecting weather , figuring out how to control the direction of weather and how to generate and dissipate and all that . Well , maybe not dissipate , but how to generate weather . So this is proven . They have been doing this .
Speaker 1So what you're saying and what I'm hearing from you is you're saying that the government is controlling these storms .
Speaker 2Allegedly , allegedly .
Speaker 1The government , at least for Helene , dictated the path that it took , and I believe this is about where we stop this conversation when I ask what I'm about to ask . What is the benefit of them hurting the American people ? Are you ready ?
Speaker 2Yes , Okay , so allegedly , once again , I don't have the source documents . I've been trying to find them . All the information I had , I misplaced it , so I've got to go back through and do all my research again . But um , america has the richest lithium deposit . That's a , that's a , a mineral , that's used in batteries and the richest one in the world is in america .
Speaker 2I will give you one guess where it is located , that would be the mountains of north carolina , right outside of ashville nice , okay , and so right before the storm hit the coast right the west coast of florida , a major mining company that mines lithium put in the permits and got them approved for mining lithium in the United States and the number like one of the highest buyers of that company's stock was none other than BlackRock , and BlackRock is . Blackrock is one of the shadiest companies in the world that owns everything . Black rock is responsible for owning the majority of like rental homes in the united states . It's black rock vanguard and there's one other one , but those three companies they own everything in in america , pretty much like they've got so much invested in the stocks and they own the majority percentage of stocks and so many different companies . But BlackRock owns a ton for this major mining company that just got their permits approved and got grants for mining lithium in the United States .
Speaker 2All this happens and then I believe it's four to five days later , helene hits the United States and there's guys that have been posting videos of them like showing the research they've done of radar bleeps and flight patterns , bleeps and flight patterns , and so there's been certain planes that'll do a flight pattern around the gulf of mexico and then he jumps over to the radar bleeping and you'll see where the the storm's going in a direction , and then there's a like a bluish bleep , a couple of different spots , and then and then the storm changes directions , and so these guys are alleging that these bleeps are what they're doing to redirect .
Speaker 1So they're not really fully controlling the storm . They are able to redirect it . They're controlling the direction of the storm . So in my mind then it would be we're going to get hit by this storm no matter what .
Speaker 2There's no way to really fully ? No , because they could have sent it out into the ocean , okay , and it could have not hit the east coast at all , but the pattern , the direction that it was going was supposed to kind of go up through georgia and then pushed it further , so that it went through the carolinas so they could clear out the space so they can mine the lithium and so now , and , and then the aftermath who's who's going to north carolina ?
Speaker 2first it's trump , and then it's biden , and then it's harris , and then harris comes out a couple of days later and says we're gonna grant everybody 750 dollars for the damages everyone has been affected by the . What they did not say was and this is from the only reason we have this information is because of third parties posting information on like tiktok and instagram , like hey , like I'm a survivor , and this is what's happening one guy said that if you , if you look at it , it's a loan and you have to pay back that 750 dollars over time . Jeez , but that's here there . I don't know , because I didn't get it
Hurricane Manipulation and Government Involvement
Speaker 2Right .
Speaker 2The big issue is most of these people that are affected by it are trapped with no power , no water , no food , no cell service , and you have to apply the grant . You have to apply online and then it's digitally transactioned and moved to your account , and everyone in North Carolina right now , that is like trying to get back into the flow . They're not taking credit cards , they're taking cash only . So how do you go where there's no power and pay for something with the money ? You don't have to get the supplies that you need , you can't . So it's almost a slap in the face to the American people like , hey , we're going to help you , but we're going to give you less than a thousand dollars .
Speaker 1And let me bring it back because again I'm skeptical . But why not Would it be to then incentivize the people who are already there to be ? They have to go somewhere else , they have to leave or they'll die . So now they're clearing out the people so they can go in and mine the resources .
Speaker 2Well , the issue is that they've destroyed the property , like they've made a lot of these areas that are where the alleged lithium deposit is . Most of those houses are not livable , like they have been destroyed , and so the people are gonna have to totally rebuild . They don't have any money , like and and no , next to nobody has flood insurance in north carolina , on the west side of North Carolina . So , you know , it's like it's going to be really hard to rebuild . So this mining company is going to come in with government-granted money and buy up the land for cheap because it's not worth anything now , because it's flood damage , and these people are going to have no other option Because the government's not helping them and the you know who else is going to help them , because that's kind of where we've gotten now , where it's like the only help is coming from the government , like everyone's conditioned to think that Like , oh , the government's going to give me a check .
Speaker 2You know , thankfully there are a lot of people stepping up . Volunteers and Christian communities are stepping up and bringing actual needed things like water , food , baby diapers and wipes , formula , like all this stuff . I mean , even Elon Musk is trying to get people Starlink , like yeah , so it's like people are trying to step up and help and the one person who's not really doing , or the one group that's not really doing a whole lot , who should be at the forefront of it all , is the us federal government , and they're not . And it's like well why ? Why wouldn't they ? Well , one , because they're sending all of our money overseas , or they're keeping all of our money to pay for all these illegal people that are coming into the country , or they're trying to get everyone out of that area so that they can get a deposit of lithium mined out of the ground for batteries . Because what are they pushing ? Clean energy , electric vehicles , electric vehicles , electric lawnmowers , electric chainsaws and what I does electric require lithium , lithium batteries .
Speaker 1So um so , joking aside , let me ask you this then what is then ? If they can control the weather , then why Milton and where it's currently hitting in Florida ? Have you looked at Milton ? Not in extensive detail , okay , not in extensive detail .
Speaker 2Okay , so Milton went from a tropical storm to a Category 3 to a Category 5 , to where the point where it's hitting landfall right now ? It's pretty much exceeded the cat rating .
Speaker 2Yeah , it's like beyond any other storm that they've seen before . And it's it . It changed course . It was going like it was going to hit the West side of Florida and and kind of blow right through the middle and to Tampa . It moved a little bit South and then turned upwards , so now it's going to hit the entirety of Florida and go all the way through it . So it's another one of those weird things that it's like there . There it looks like allegedly they're altering the course of that hurricane so that it does as much damage as possible along Florida . As much damage as possible along Florida .
Speaker 2And all this is happening in October , Beginning of October . What's happening ? Jairus In the beginning of .
Speaker 1November . That's going to be our election live stream . That's right .
Speaker 2Not the election itself , just the live stream . But no , okay , and this is all hearsay , because who's to say what will really happen ? The storm's hitting right now . We don't know what's going to happen , but if they can make that storm blow straight up through florida and into georgia and wreak havoc in georgia , georgia and north carolina are both swing states . Florida you mean ? No , florida's locked in for Republican . But I mean , yeah , I'm saying you're saying so .
Speaker 1I was actually going to say that . So what happens in ? You know , the election is in two weeks . Yeah , a major state that could help with the election , which usually is a Republican state . Why don't you wipe that out ?
Speaker 2Yeah . So if they take out , it's crazy but it's ridiculous . But if these three states are , or four states because South Carolina's in there too If this entire southern eastern side of the United States is so consumed with just trying to put itself back together , the voting actual people going to the polls to vote is probably going to be pretty low . I mean , if they're still dealing with what they're dealing with in North Carolina , a lot of people are not even able to get out in general , let alone to go vote . So , um , they're cause once again . They're trapped like there's no way out , and so we're still working on trying to locate and rescue people and identify how many people are still alive . You know , it's like it's terrible that we're , you know , a week past the storm hitting and we still don't know the death toll . Um , and now we get another storm that's even bigger than the previous one that is hitting Florida right now and it's probably just obliterating whatever it's doing as of recording .
Speaker 1I think it hit landfall about an hour or so ago , yeah , and it was already messing stuff up Like the outer bands of it . It created , like I'm telling my understanding , like nine or ten tornadoes already , yeah .
Speaker 2It's pretty , pretty bad . I've got a tracker right here , but anyways . So the idea is , if you can , because for this election two of the swing states were Georgia and North Carolina . So North Carolina is down and out , like the chances of them having the same outcome of elections as they would have had it's going to be different . Georgia is still fully , for the most part , functioning , like we had damage from Helene , but for the most part the state's good . But if Milton is able to change course and go up , go up , yeah , uh , it could cause some serious damage and make it hard for georgia to operate . I don't think that will happen , but that's just an alleged deal .
Speaker 2So but this is my issue is that if the government can control the direction of storms and they did do that for Helene solely to be able to get less votes , less votes , but then also to be able to mine lithium for the corporations that you know , get the elites into office , because this is not a one side or the other . I mean , both sides are guilty of pandering for money . So if that's the case , it's literally the 1% megacorporations and the elites in politics against the american people . Uh , and it could . This is I cannot bring this home enough for you guys . I am a conspiracy theory guy that likes to look into this stuff and I don't have any solid like research info to send you guys right now , so I will work on that and I'll get that out there .
Speaker 2Um , but this could , I mean this could cause we were we're already so divided as a country , but this could cause this could be the breaking point , like if the government's linked to it . If people are able to prove without a shadow of a doubt the government destroyed North Carolina so that they could get to the lithium deposit , the federal government it could cause another civil war potentially , you know . So that's my spiel . I know you guys are going to be super frustrated that I don't have any resources for you , so I apologize , I mean it's still all interesting stuff .
Speaker 2It's interesting to think about and I mean you can go online and you can find some of this stuff Like people posting their individual thoughts and kind of the research that they've done . It is still kind of hearsay . So , you know , do your research , look into it , think about it . Most importantly , be praying , because there's a lot of people that are getting , that have been hurt by one storm and there's a lot of people getting hurt and about to get hurt from another .
Speaker 1So the important thing is , no matter what the federal government's doing to our people , whether this conspiracy is real or not , there's people out there hurting , dying and suffering right now who need our prayer .
Speaker 2Need our prayer . Yep , and and , like I said , we're going to be doing a . Well , you'll have already listened to it , but you go back . If you didn't go back to the bonus episode about the hurricanes , we'll label it that hurricane support or hurricane relief , and we'll have information on where you can give that will be the most effective for the survivors of these storms . So that's that . I am ready to move to our final topic of the night .
Speaker 1Let's do it this is our transition . Tyler , it is . Is that ? Is that what we just like ? Hey , it's just , it's a soundbite . It's just like tyler , this is our transition .
Speaker 2I think we should call our transitions the tyler effect , the tyler transition or , yeah , something along the lines .
Candle Cove Creepypasta Discussion
Speaker 2I want Tyler to be remembered forever on our podcast . He's that important to me .
Speaker 1Real quick . Give me a little whisper of the name Tyler . That's our transition sound now , yeah .
Speaker 2But I'm not being sarcastic here . I genuinely appreciate the feedback that Tyler gave me , and I may be doing it overkill by like pointing out transitions , but I want Tyler to know that you are heard , and this is not who I heard . You are heard and valued and loved and , um , you know what , whenever we get the trash cat shirts , we're going to send you one too , tyler , you're going to get one for free Tyler .
Speaker 1Oh yeah , yeah , wow . The look on your face like .
Speaker 2No , you will . You'll get it for free , just like Bryce , because I value Bryce's input .
Speaker 1Oh wait , no , we're not giving Bryce's for free . We're taking the free one from Bryce and giving it to Tyler Ay-yi-yi . Anyway , bryce , you're paying double .
Speaker 2You're paying for Tyler's All right . Are you ready for our creepypasta this week ? I am . This is our Cryptid Corner Spooky .
Speaker 1Season Edition . Spooky Season Edition Cryptid Corner . Spooky Season Edition . Spooky Season Edition Cryptid Corner . All right , this one is . You told me about this a little bit before we started . Yeah , and I'm just immediately like this sounds awesome yeah .
Speaker 2This is kind of along the lines of the back rooms .
Speaker 1It's not a specific creature or entity , and usually creepypastas aren't ? They seem like they're situations more than creatures . But I think what was the first one we talked about ? The first one we talked ?
Speaker 2about was the back rooms , and then we talked about Hero Brian .
Speaker 1Hero Brian was the actual entity , one I was thinking .
Speaker 2Which you know , we did that one for the kids . It was like , hey , kids , we want to make this , you know , relatable . Yeah , cutesy , because everybody's playing Minecraft , right , everybody under 10 .
Speaker 1That , or Roblox or Fortnite .
Speaker 2Which we told everybody about the previous episode . Stop it . Don't let your kids play those games . Just play Minecraft .
Speaker 1Just Minecraft ? Really just get them off , Roblox .
Speaker 2Yeah , at least like online Roblox .
Speaker 1Don't let your small children play any online games .
Speaker 2There we go . Thank you , all right . So this creepy pasta I was about to say cryptid , this creepy pasta is Candle Cove , candle Cove . And , ironically , what makes this stand out from all the other creepy pastas is that the poster is known . So the person that created this creepypasta is known by name . What's that name ? It's a web cartoonist and author , chris Straub .
Speaker 1Straub .
Speaker 2Uh-huh . So All right , I'm just going to read the header from Wikipedia , because it words it pretty good . I know everyone's like oh , Wikipedia .
Speaker 1I mean even Wikipedia kind of . Is the idea of Creepypastas of this community coming together to combine this information so perfect ? There you go .
Speaker 2So all right . So the story centers on a discussion of the titular fictional children's television series on an internet forum . Straub has stated that he was inspired to write the creepypasta after reading an article in the Onion oh , of course , entitled Area . 36-year-old , still has Occas , occasional lidsville nightmare . So the idea behind candle cove is it ?
Speaker 2It's a forum , online forum , that a bunch of adults are are recollecting a nostalgic childhood memory of watching a show . Is that show candle cove ? The show is candle cove and they're all talking about on on this forum . They're talking about the main character . Her name's Janice and she's going on these adventures with these pirates . And the pirates are like puppets , uh-huh , but they're all . And as the discussion goes on on the forum , they start recollecting things that were like why was that in a kid's show , like one of the main um villains or antagonists in the show is called . I gotta look it up because it's like skin something . I don't want to butcher it . Captain skin devil . Yeah , yeah , no , it's um . Oh , my gosh , I should have had this at the forefront . Um skin taker , captain skin taker . Captain skin taker , my goodness .
Speaker 2So it's a skeleton pirate who wears clothing made out of children's skin hey , you want to throw out that um content warning real quick , yeah yeah , that's kind of pushing the line , but they're talking and once again the creepypasta is it's a group of adults on a forum online , so this discussing so show .
Speaker 1It's a group of fictitious adults Correct On a fictitious forum talking about , in their fiction , a fictitious show .
Speaker 2Well , and that's the issue , is that they all remember it . They're all different people from different walks of life that are coming together on this forum talking about this show that they all watched growing up , but they can't find it anywhere today . They all know of like a deja vu , you know . I mean with the cornucopia on uh , fruit of the looms , the looms . Uh , curious , george , does he have a tail ? Yeah , yep , yep , yep . All that stuff where it's like people , like multiple people , are like I remember this , and then it's like the uh .
Speaker 1The correct term is a mandela effect . Thank you , mandela effect .
Speaker 2But , um , the story ends with one of the people on the forum saying that he went and asked his mother in the nursing home if she remembered the show and she said no , because every time that you watched it air quotes I just turned the TV on to a static channel , so it was just static coming through the TV and you sat there and watched the static for 30 minutes and that was it . I don't like static . Yeah , so for kids that are still listening , tvs used to have static .
Speaker 1So yeah , just like the lack of a signal was just like this , like we called it , you know , fuzz or snow or static , yeah , and it just allowed hiss kind of sound yeah hissing sound with just black , white , gray colors , kind of like dotting the screen . It's wild to me to think that there are certain things that , moving forward with technology , we'll never have . Like static's never going to be a thing . Yeah , it's crazy .
Speaker 2Okay . So I was at Goodwill today , Mm-hmm , and I was walking through looking at different stuff and I went in and I was like wow , blast of the past , there was a bunch of DVDs in one area . Mm-hmm , I was like I wonder if there's VHS tapes . And I look and there was , and I was like wow , there's some VHS tapes .
Speaker 1No one's ever going to buy these ?
Speaker 2No , because there's better quality , unless you're that one tick tock guy trying to buy every copy of titanic . Yeah , well , okay , so I did go over and look at it , but the only reason I went over to look was to see if there was any black diamond disney movies oh , gotcha , that's the only reason .
Speaker 1Those ones that are super super rare and super expensive and valuable .
Speaker 2Well , because one of them I think it's the Lion King , the Black Diamond VHS tape has a song in it that didn't get released . Past that , yeah , on DVDs or even on the streaming app . Now , like , the song's not in there , it's in the vault , or on a Black Diamond Disney VHS tape , gotcha . So there is some like , there's some special to it , but anyways , going back to the creepy pasta , um , yeah , it's just to me that's . The eerie part , is that ?
Speaker 1Everybody remembers this show , remembers the show , and then it was nothing Did they were ? They all sitting there watching static . They all come to realize .
Speaker 2Yeah , well , it doesn't cause . It ends on . That's , that's where the story ends . That's where Straub ends . The story is with this one guy posting like hey , talk to my mom about it . And this is what she said , and so I'm sure that the idea is that everybody else was also seeing static . I assume yeah , that's , that's kind of what it alludes to is like , hey , this show isn't in that , in this make-believe forum , in this make-believe world , this show doesn't actually exist .
Speaker 2You all just remember watching something in real life production , meaning that there's some nefarious background , something going on that's targeting kids , like roblox , yeah , like robot , but you know , it did , it did bring me , you know , come into the real world with it . Kids are more in tune spiritually to their surroundings , um , because they're , they're willing to believe , um , and so you know . That's why we , as parents , um , and fellow believers , we need to guard our kids , um , we need to be praying over them , we need to be praying with them , we need to be a constant light shining in their lives , because the enemy is willing to sneak in and scare our kids and distract them from the light of Christ and try and instill fear in them so that it creates a fuzz , that they're not able to hear the truth , that they're not able to hear the truth . So I mean , I hear stories all the time of kids seeing things , you know , in the dark or hearing things , and it's like real . And the parents were like , oh , it's nothing , your imagination , it's your imagination .
Speaker 2When in reality it's like , hey , there is a spiritual force here who is jumping at the opportunity to try and scare your kids . And so you know , if your kid brings up that they saw something or they you know they're seeing or hearing something , don't discredit that . Pray it , pray about it . Go to the Lord in prayer . Be that example for your kid , like , hey , if you're scared , that's not from God , because God has not given you a spirit of fear . Coming back to that , verse .
Speaker 1So , um , I I have things to say about this , but I think it'd be smart , just like from personal experience of when I wasn't living my life for Christ and things I experienced that were really creepy , yep . But I think what we should do is we'll end the episode , okay , and then , so anybody who doesn't want to hear these creepy stories you can turn off the episode . So after the credits roll , there'll be some , you know , let me stop you there .
Speaker 2Yeah , because next week , remember , we're talking about . So do you want to save it for next week ? Save it for next week , okay , yeah , so not to leave you guys with a teaser or anything , but we will talk about real life experience with creepy stuff . I forgot .
