It's beautiful. You guys, what February first? I know it's not where did January go? This is Laura Kane after Dark. I'm Laura Kane. And this is Eric and this is Laura Kane after Dark and Brian are wonderful producer. Brian. Sorry anyways, again, steamrolled this week. I know I forgot to introduce from their first episode. I just totally just glossed right over him. I felt really bad about it too, I did, I honestly did. I was like, oh my god, I was very upset.
I'm sure I think that deserves a spanking. Oh yeah, go anywhere near me. Today's also my daddy's birthday. Birthday, daddy, okay, so I need to I need to read you a text that just came in from my daughter. Okay. This is just like it's really cool sometimes being a mom all the time, being a mom, but really cool sometimes. She says, I was calling you, but then I realized that you have
your podcast right now. But anyway, I just want to say I love you and I'm so grateful for you and I literally can't wait to see you soon. She's so cute. I mean, that is just that's all I need. That's all I need. How come you never sent me text like that? I When I do, you'll just go, okay, please don't send me text like that. Right, I'm going to send you a text like that's fine, you know what? Wow wow wow. I almost text you this weekend, and then I'm like, oh no, I can't text
it on the weekend because it'll work, you can. I know you won't text them back on Monday. I know, but I didn't want to bother. If it's an emergency, I'll text back. I didn't want to bother the most time. I won't. But anyway, you guys, if you would subscribe to our YouTube channel, that would be really cool because then we'd feel super popular and special or I would feel validated totally, and I need that every day. Validation looks amazing. But it hasn't even sunk in yet.
Takes my day. It looks organic. It's totally natural. Good. That's what we want, Yes, we want. It's like I don't have any expressions. See, I have too much expression That's why. Oh gosh, I understand. No, no, no, See when I I'll tell you about my botox journey. I started when I was thirty because I had really deep lines in my forehead because I'm always like doing this, you know,
making expressions, and and I hated them. I was like, God, I'm looking so I have these like deep I'm only thirty years old, Like what the heck? And then this new thing came around, botox, and I was like, you got addicted. I did fire. If you if you had resting bitch face like I do, you wouldn't eat botox. She got her resting bitch face molded into her. No, they mold a
happy face into me. The expression you will smile and they have wrinkles though, like okay, so it just kind of deadens the muscle, which is just fine, so you I can still lift my eyebrows. That's that's why I love going to La Hooya Cosmetic because they literally know how to put like the right amount in so you do have somewhat of an expression, but you don't have these like deep lines.

No, don't well, I'm not going to. Isn't it awful? Good? It's more funny than anything else yeah, it is. It's nothing that you ever want to happen. I just know why is Zimbabwe is in there. I don't know Laura, the two times in your life this has happened to you. It's a good
thing, that's actually Yeah. The best part is Laura may have actually experienced it. Yeah, probably doesn't know where it is. And if I told you, you'd be terrified. Please please drop that, drop it drop bag. We tried, but you seem to bring it up more than you. When did I bring I didn't bring you brought it up this time? Why did not? I didn't bring it up? I brought it up. The only reason we know about is that you brought it twice and then and then
I made one joke about it because you were bringing up stuff again. And then this is the first time it's been brought up. I think the first time was her birthday of the second time was like Easter or something. Yeah, you brought up twice two different times. You mean when it happened. I don't know. Yeah, you brought it up twice. Wow, Okay, well, well there were a couple of eggs bagging against thing. I'm not I'm telling you don't on this rabbit hole. Do not anyways? Swamp
cannon is no, No, isn't that unbelievable? Don't do like I just want to know, I don't want Okay, So there's a story. Have you guys been in a Tesla before? Yes? Uh not? D most experience in my life. Right, they're great. They are. They're horrible to write in. They are so yeah, sitting in the back seat, it's like riding in a tank over boulders. What wait, which one did you write in? Well, it was an suv or no, it's a
car SUVs car? No, I mean no, like a it's like a regular Well anyway, my experiences have been nice, but they're like, it's just so incredibly high tech, Right, I get on. If I cant afforded me too, I would be same same. Well, can the cameras on the outside of the tesla detect ghosts? No? There's a video apparently that somebody drove their Tesla to a cemetery at night and put it in park. Then their touch screen showed a half dozen people walking around, but nobody
was there. Yeah, I saw that video. What did you think? Did you were the actual people? I don't think that. No, I don't think there was anyone there, But I don't think that proves ghosts. I think it does. It could have been the headstones they were popping up with those people headstones. No, no, I know, no, No. I think that we're getting to a point in society, in life, in technology where we might soon be able to see Yeah, but we don't
really see ghosts. Don't even know what ghosts are. How can we detect them if we don't even know what they are? Well, you don't know what they are, but there are other people know what they are, and some people, well, I feel like I know what a ghost is. It's a ghost is a spirit of their energy type of energy. There is only one type really, energy is. It's a vague energy. Energy is not stuff like rub your fingers. I know it's but it's like that's not
Laura, you know what. Stop? Stop you brought this, Okay, you challenged me on it. Stop Okay. Now these normal names are becoming extinct. Now get this. I'm gonna start with ten. Is my name on there? No Nora? Okay? Are these all like old people names? No? No, they're not. Nora's kind of an old name. Angela going bye bye, Bradley is way down. This is from like a BabyCenter dot com. They posted their list of normal names that are now like
way down the list. Diana way down on the list. So is Michelle. I don't know any baby Michelle's. I think that was the kind of a nineties name that was also a sick. It could be like an our generation name or jen X's name we've been seventies or probably yeah, Amanda, that was huge in like what like five ninety six, Yes, in the seventies. Yeah, oh really because of melrose Place. Remember Amanda Woodward. Oh yeah, I used to work with Amanda, who was a bulge.
I love this name, and I was thinking about naming Charlie this at one point. But Johnny, I like the name Johnny jo very nineteen sixties. It's just cool. I don't know, I like it. But it's down one hundred and fifty spots. Mackenzie. Hey, you know how many Mackenzies there are running around? Very two thousands name then very like early two thousand and Julius Julius Julius. Yes, it's down one hundred and eighty nine spots
for boys. Julius. This name I think is absolutely beautiful for a girl, and I would totally consider naming my child this, but it's down it is. It was the most popular name for girls last year and this year it was in the four hundred and seventy first spot. Brook that's a beautiful name, so that I mean, yeah, isn't Sophia too? And Olivia? Those are all beautiful names. Olivia, I know a lot of Olivia's. It was a gorgeous name. But would you rather have would you rather
be a Brian or would you rather be like a Spike? You know what I'm saying. Would you rather have a name and that's kind of like normal like a lot of people have, or would you rather have like a name that like nobody has? It depends on the name. Okay, your name is Carson. I don't really I mean I like uncommon names as kind of a rule, but I don't want like Stid, like Ratchet, or like would you rather be named Johnny or I got it? Scout. I love
that name. That's a fun I like that as a girl's name. Scout. I love that name. Okay, Scout Finch, that's a really really cool name. Yeah, although that wasn't her real name, but anyway. Okay, that's my host chat. What's your host chat? My host chat is why I have two things. Okay, when we're done with the show tonight, I think I sent you the trailer for the new movie called Abigail. Did I send that to you? Uh? Huh? Oh my god? Oh? I you know what. I wouldn't know because I don't open
attachments from you anymore. That's fair. You earned that one, there, he did. Yeah, I'm going to send it to you tonight, well in front of you, so you know you could open it and you can see everything else he sent you. No, no, no, I'm going to No, I'm not. I don't I'm not falling for it. I swear to God. I'm going to show you. I'm gonna send you the trailer in front of me. But you know you're not. You're going to
pull something up and it's going to be someone's gonna puke right away. Oh, I swear to God, Laura, why don't you just search it up and you can watch it on your own. No, I'm going to send it to us. I'll do that soon as a compromise. That is a great compromise. You just shut up last month or Tuesday, we learned about problem solving, So yes we did. We did listen to told us what are you know? Clear you take too long with a shower, So Laura, you search it up on your own. Okay, that's right. My
god, I'm not sure that I learned last week. I I'm gonna get on my soapbox. Oh boy, wait is it a company a product? It's people? Okay, okay, so oh this is gonna be good with my job. We do appointment only. Boy, here we go. Now it's brewing it. Okay. I can't tell you how many people make an appointment. Now, let me ask you this. If you made a doctor's appointment for ten o'clock in the morning, would you show up at eight am?
No? Would you late? No? Would you show up at one or whenever you felt like it, and and just blow into your doctor's appointment and say, well I'm here now. No, okay. So I have had within the last week probably half a dozen people make an appointment and then they show up early, or they show up two hours late in one case, and then they're shocked that We're like, oh, I'm sorry, we're
gonna have to rebook you. We have other appointments. But I'm here now, and the one thing I hear more than anything is well, I'm from La. Oh my? What really? I don't care if you just flew in from Mars like you're two hours late. Okay, let me ask you. If I'm gonna be five minutes late for a restaurant reservation that I've made, I call and say, hey, listen, I'm running five minutes, same, same, same same. Is this a generational thing? Do you
think? Are these people like think back the people that have done this to you? Are they like the same age range? Are they all over the place? A lot of them are, but then some are older? Okay, so it's not an age thing. No, but then they it's an entitlement thing. Yeah. Ah, that's annoying. Wait you call a restaurant, you're gonna be five minutes late? Oh for sure? If I make it a point well not me, no, not five? Oh I do. If I'm fifteen, yes, I would never be fifteen minutes late.
I just love though, how Tuesdays are Eric aways as a prepared host chat and then Thursdays are just his things that pissed me off. Section I do I get into a I get on my it should just be called my soapbox segment, Eric's soapbox segment. Oh god, well, okay, there's your new segment. There we go, there we go. Oh god, he could just added an hour onto the shows a time. No, my god. Wow. Well Brian has a host chat, but we're calling it his wild card because he has a seging too. Did I say I was done?
No, you didn't, but I keep going, keep going. I figured you come up so we can look each other while I tell you my thing, because you'll if you make an appointment, keep the time for the appointment. Oh okay. I had people cut yesterday that were like half an hour, like, oh well, we decided to go get coffee and something to eat, and you couldn't have called. Oh god, and you give him that look. You give him that look, which is so scary because
they know you're mad. They know because I have other people coming. I know they they you should be mad. I'm not saying you shouldn't be mad. I'm saying you should be mad, because that is like I don't let him know I'm mad, but they can tell by your face. You just made the scariest face, like I'd be so scared, like, oh my god, I really pissed this guy off. Did like he run down your leg a little bit because you're smiling, but your eyes are like I hate
you. It's so scary. It's just amazing to me, Like you could you can call and make breakfast reservations and go get coffee and stuff, but you can't call the person that you've made it. Yeah, yeah, and say hey, I'm gonna I'm running a few minutes late. Can I still come? Oh? We didn't? Oh I have your little wild card music? Oh well whatever? What? Okay? Okay, okay, I went to the house this last weekend wo to go ghost hunting. Yes, I just took a tour and I figured, well I was there to do some
ghost hunting. I am a skeptic, obviously, but I do want to see a ghost. Yes. What I saw at the Whaley House absolutely fucking nothing. Literally nothing. Okay, Wait when did you okay, did you go on a tour with other people? Yes? Was it during the day, No, it was a night. It was their last tour of the day. How long were you there? About forty minutes? Like Candlefield the cat it was dark in there. You didn't feel the Cat the Cosmopolitan.
Oh, it's like the Whitehouse, the most haunted house in America, depending on who you ask, Yeah, depending on who you ask, depending on which marketing team you ask. But I didn't feel anything, no sixth sense, nothing weird. It's a cool house. I highly recommend you check it out, just for the history. Is it crazy how small everything is. The beds are small, the chairs are small, the tables small. People. We're smaller back then. Yeah, it's really nice house though. Yeah,
the theater room, which is really cool. The courtroom's kind of scary though. I like the courtroom and they have it's really nice ambiance because I got all the flickering light bulbs, so it's super dark in there. And uh yeah, no ghosts peep. Well you are closed off to that world. That's the crazy thing. Is I am a hopeful skeptic, so I am. I am willing to see anything. I want to see something. I invite something. I invite demon possession. No, don't say that I
just did. I just watch targeted hauntings ghosts and attach themselves to me. Maybe maybe Hilder Garter or whatever a name was will come back. No, don't invite a demon and no, I watched Invite possessions. I invite all those things. Did you watch the Pope's Exorcism? What did you watch it? No? I watched something about like this real life boy who's now a man who was possessed at one point. Oh that yeah, he murdered. Someone was like, oh I was possessed by Do you know I can't be
held legally liable? Hey, Brian, Brian, there's been two times in Laura's life where she said the doubles followed by the Zimbabwe Zimbabwe swap canons that. Hey, I'm not bringing it up. I just want to just want to throw out there hearing this is all yourself this. Why did you share this stuff on air? I don't know. Stuff that stays off air, we don't bring it on air. But stuff you shared on air is fair game forriend. Oh my god, yeah, hearing that one horrible geez.
Okay, did you bring your little thing? No? I didn't because those are bull those are bs. Does don't mean anything? So that was a prop No. I mean, if you there are there are those things that you can get that detect like energy, to detect what energy? What is energy? You tell me? Well, the boxes just detect electromagnetic magnetic frequencies. You know what gives off that anything with electricity, literally anything your lights,
wires, computers, anything that will make those boxes light up. Okay, well same with like, that's what ghost are made out of. Electricity. Energy, fucking slappy with energy. Okay, are you done? Oh? No, what else happened? Oh did they tell you about the lavender? Did they say anything about the lavender? Because the lady the house used to wear like a lavender perfume, she says, sometimes you can smell it. Oh okay, Well here's my thing. I noticed this. I told
my girlfriend this because she was there with me. That's the second time I've toured the Whailey house and it's been a while and the store, or actually the third time. The stories change each time. Really yeah, So the first time I went there, they said there was also a young girl who haunted the house. Differ, young girl who wasn't actually a Whaley but just was killed, died on the property and haunted the place. Then they said, oh, they've told me that story. And then apparently one of the
way children that haunts it didn't even die in San Diego. She died in like ocean side or something. But her ghost hitchhiked down back down here or something took the family. Maybe you can fly when you're electricity the ghost, Yes, you can zips up everywhere. Why would they be haunting places and go because because I don't know the light they need to go. Anyways, A tour guide who was a little irritating, just very theatrical, like kept
slamming on stuff trying to make loud noises. I was like, dude, just oh because it was the last tour, it was nighttime. He was one of the docents or whatever. She was really peppy, which is fine. I forgot the tipper, which I feel a bad about, but oh
no, she was a little obnoxious about it. She what happen? She likes sang a song and that I forget how it went in the very like her last thing is and she said she was like rhyming or something, and the last rhyme was for those who forget to tip their guide and then open this box they had, like her veno thing you can put money inside. I was like what. I was like, that's a little noxious. But were people throwing money in? A couple of people? Did most people didn't.
Oh my gosh, I don't know. Tipping culture is a little insane now it is. So that's for tips at Starbucks now the tips, like the tickets were not super cheap either. I think they were like twenty bucks each, which is I mean, not terrible, but for just to walk through a house and she did a fine job. I guess you know. I read a story that we tipped five times a day on average week? Did five people? The only country that does it too? Are we?
You don't I don't remember. I remember, friend, you are one of the I don't think. No, I don't think France does. We are one of the only we are the we definitely do it the most. I can't see those those those machines were flip it yeah, show you and then it's like I make a big deal of doing ooh zero. You do know? You do know it depends if you if really all you did was just cash me out, like you just rang me up. I'm not tipping for that. I know. If I go to self served chaos, I don't
give myself a tip or ringing myself right right? Do you know that? Now it's it's literally set on twenty five percent now yeah, they keep uping like yet keep upping it. You know, like ten fifteen years ago, the recommended TIB was like ten to fifteen. Now it's like twenty to thirty. What yeah, wow, Yeah, last couple of places I've been, it's it's been set at twenty five and I'm oh, no, I'll set my own tip zero. You literally handed me a lemonade. I'm I'm sorry
you're not getting a ten dollars tip for that. Wow. I mean I feel like a really good waight you know, waiter, waitress or something. Sure, yes, I mean that's I mean I still think it's kind of ridiculous, but yeah, I mean it's part of culture. I'll do it. But yeah, if you just rang me up where you mixed a couple of you know, coffee liquids, Well, the thing is you have all the people that bathe the coffee, ring it up, do the food like you know, it's like, well you don't have to share the tips.
Shipping culture is so big here is because people make such little money like that. The hourly wage is so bad here. No, it's not, it's not not at all, Like seventeen going up to twenty. Well that's that's insane. It's insane, super high. It is extremely a minimum wage. But also I mean not to get in economics, but all like the tip, tipping and himenen wage also just drives up prices, does it. Well, no, of course it doesn't mean but and tipping is just you know,
an extra tax you pay for somebody not sitting in your food. Oh my god, oh the door dash people or Postmates or whatever. I always have to there's like there's like, okay, three fifty, four fifty or five fifty. I'm like, gosh, oh gosh, oh gosh, I really want to do three fifty, but I'm going to do four fifty. I can't go to five point fifty because I don't know the person yet. But I don't want them to spend in my food. You know, I
get it. With door asks, that's a lot of work. I mean they're driving all over for it. Yes, for sure, that's one you know, I will I gladly tip for that. I would prefer you just didn't tip and the price is just a little bit higher. That'd be great. But but you know some people get like really tip your ghostly tour guides now too, Yes, so they will haunt you. All right. Now,
I have a game. Okay, it's called We're Not Really Strangers, and it is a card game and it's a kind of a question game, and it's between me and you, okay, to see how well we know each other. Okay, is reading the cards? No, okay, so I can feel involved. Okay. Lord's like, no, no, no, he's not part of this. Well, no, it's it's two people. It's two people. I'll read it for your okay. No. Here, the way it goes is we have to look in each other's eyes,
and then the first person who blinks draws the first card. Okay, that's just a blinking challenge. This is how they said. The acutely say how who goes first? It's the last person to poop. You would also lose that one. Yeah, you'd win that one. Okay wait wait wait stop, stop stop. We can't just have dead air. We're each other. Yeah, but you blinked already because I was stressing out. We start,
I'll fill the dead air. Okay, So let's take this seriously. All right, we got going on. Now, we got two lifelong friends who will use blinking as a metric. Oh, Laura's Laura is the worst friend. My eyelash clue couldn't keep her eyes open to prove her friendship. My eyes were burning burning. That was like five second. You know, it's just because of my eyelash glue. Okay, So now I ask a question and you have to answer it. Okay, what made you gravitate towards me
as a friend? You were in a very dire situation, and I always was drawn to you hearing you on the radio, and I always just thought you were adorable and I wanted to help you. Oh no, no, that's sweet. Okay, Now you do one and then I think it's then we do like a couple of these and we move on to the next level. What's something I'll never say no to? The Zimbabwe I was like,
didn't remember what I would always say no to? That Sometimes a TJ Max run, home gids run true like or even we even tried to go to Ross one night, remember, and it was closed like a late night like a fun late night shopping run like that. I think he'll never see a true friend enables the other friends spending habits, right, I will say for home goods. Though I love homegods, I love him goods and they're not
terrible. Yeah, it's actually pretty good. It is it seems Oh wait, no, it's your turn here, I'll move this one down there. You pick the card now, Oh that's right. Okay, no, you pick it. Mine was home goods. Oh no, that's oh never mind, you run. Now you ask a question, and I yeah, what do you If I had a movie poster on my wall, which would it be? Oh my god, okay, it would either be it would be okay, well, he has the CHUCKI doll. So I don't think he'd
have the Chucky poster, but he might have the Exorcist poster up. I'm gonna say Exorcist bingos. Oh, oh, I know you, I know you. Okay, now, it's not talking from your perspective. Describe my ideal roommate who I could never live with. Oh wait, wit wait wait wait wait wait, I read that wrong from your perspective. Describe my ideal roommate French brings from corn. I was gonna say, Marie, here,
perfect one. I already have the perfect one. It would be somebody that has a really good personality, that's not uptight, that's not O C. D. Right, I would be the worst roommate with you ever. But we're still going to live together. But then then I'll be too old that I won't be taking care of it. Yeah, loves your dog, loves the fact that this becomes total chaos on Monday, I know. Yeah, totally has to be okay with that, and is not a micromanager. Who
I was gonna say, who could I never live with? Yeah, I'm micro manager. Eric just described how he could never live with you. They're in the best Friend quiz, and now that's all we talk about, is that we're gonna lose. Yes, totally. But well here's the thing. He's gonna his OCD will probably be at a new level. But the deventure kicks you. I mean, all you're going to need to do is reach over every once in a while and just wipe my cheek from the droll.
Well, we're going to have people help, Oh yeah, that's true, bringing us food so we don't have to worry about it. Yeap. Brian's going to pop in. Brian is Yeah, Brian is gonna He's gonna work it all out for us, Like where we're going to stay. Brian's going to the pillow over your face. Wait, don't I have to Did I just read it? I don't remember? Wait I just read. Oh no, I did the worst for man, it's your turn. I know this is kind of confusing. Okay, then we'll move on to the second.
Oh no, I got to do Yeah, I read it because you read the roommate question. He responded, Oh, this is so easy. Who's the more hydrated friend? Laura? Do you see what I drink all day long? This is what I drink all day long? Do you see what I drink all day? I drink like five of these? Yeah? Oh oh, I drink like seven of these. They don't if yousperse with red bull? Yeah, if you don't have the actual you're not the most hydrated
friend those bottles. I'm sorry you. She prefers the BPA plastic that the turtles choko. No, I prefer a glass. That's what I drink at home is glass. Okay, but I don't like thermoses. I never have liked thermoss or any kind of like. You know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna buy a whole bunch of stuff at home, gets that have holes in it, and then bite you over. Don't Oh, do you know my other phobia, Brian, is it the trip phobia? Yes? Oh my god, Oh my god, my god, my god, my god,

And I looked at you and said, Laura Kane. And we've been unseparable ever since exactly. But yeah, I think I went right into
your house. I think you you did I think you well, because we already kind of knew each other through email, but we had never seen each other, but we knew it was each other. We see we're soulmates. We're just soul met We're just not romantic soul meat. Okay, one more of level one and then then we we maybe will do level two next time. I don't know. Oh, there's a couple more. This is okay? Okay, Well where are you most likely to run into me? Grocery

Oh my godness, no, I don't almost throw up. It's scared. She
sent me a text saying I'm never speaking to you again. It scares you. It's okay, and I know where it's done. The stems from when my mom was pregnant with my brother. I'm six years old and I was being the bathtub and my mom had horrible morning sickness and all day sickness, and she come running into the bathroom when I was in the bathtub, and she'd be like, you know, I'd be like, Mommy, she's okay.
Did you ever get thrown up on? No? But then my sister and brother and I shared a room at one point in my life, and my sister threw up a lot. My bad was probably like, you know, a way from hers. You know, I always knew like when she was going to start peaking, because she'd she'd kind of like roll back and forth, and then she'd be like kind of lean over the bed, and before anything would even enter her throat, I would be down the hall running
to my parents. Jenny sewing up, Jenny's throwing up. Oh my god, so it's her fault too, Oh god? And none. Now I can't. I just can't. My kids, Oh my god, Evan, when they'd say, oh, mom, I don't I feel sick to my stomach, I'd be like, oh God, help me. Let me call Eric, help me, please, somebody help me. I remember when I was a little kid, and I obviously I was just starting to get the touch of the stomach flu I remember, oh God, are you gonna tell
