  Hey, I'm Niall Rogers. This fall, I'll be driving across the country, meeting some of today's coolest and most fascinating artists. We'll explore the stories before the moments that changed everything. Because every musician remembers the moment where it all began. Experience Before the Moment, a Lincoln original series on the iHeart Radio app, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

• 0:32Brittany Broski?

  Hey, y'all. Before we get into this week's episode, I wanted to take a quick, brief moment to direct you to the description of this episode, wherever you listen, wherever you watch. I've listed some resources there for some really great organizations, boots on the ground in terms of both the ongoing ICE raids and subsequent protests across the country, as well as the blockades in Gaza. I want to encourage you, if you're able to, to check a lot of these orgs out, donate if you can. I've donated to the majority of them. And while we're on topic, it is Pride Month. Happy Pride. And protecting gay rights is just about the last thing on this administration's docket.

• 1:15Brittany Broski?

  So as always, I've listed some in the description as well for resources there, as well as women's rights. I donate to Planned Parenthood every month. I have for years. They're an incredible organization that does incredible work. And another unlucky target of this fucking administration. Times are dark and scary right now, but we have our voices, we have each other. If you feel called, please protest and do it safely. Bring a buddy, let someone know where you are. At the end of the day, we are all we have. We have each other. And please look out for one another. Okay, love you, guys.

• 1:59Brittany Broski?

  Like I said, check out the description if you want. And let's get into this episode.

• 4:26Brittany Broski?

  What the fuck are you saying? Anyway, Why I Write by George Orwell. Very, very harrowing parallels between what he was experiencing as a, you know, very disgruntled, anti-patriotic British citizen who lived through multiple war times, who served as a military police in Burma, returned to the motherland and was met with Noah Klum. I mean, the way that the British Empire treated veterans, still treats veterans, is deplorable. I think also, I mean, I'm not like defending the military, but hey, what are we talking about? Anyways, what I'm trying to say is George Orwell is a reformed,

• 5:10Brittany Broski?

  not even reformed, I would say that he, his opinions crystallized after all those experiences of living in poverty, you know, serving as a sort of pawn, a chess piece abroad for this empire that is corrupt to its core. And what I find interesting about this book, so Why I Write, he details at the very beginning of the book four reasons why anyone could ever want to write, and how an author or a writer in any sense would never willfully take that job upon themselves. Because being a writer, as most writers would agree, Stephen Fry said this as well one time, "He wouldn't wish it on his worst enemy." Of the gruesome mental gymnastics that a writer does,

• 5:55Brittany Broski?

  and of course, that's such a dramatic, like, you know, it's not a genuine sentiment, but it is, it's kind of funny and sarcastic in the sense of to accurately disentangle your thoughts and line them out in a linear format, or if you're James Joyce, not, to do that and have it be met with people who understand what you're trying to get at. That is such a validating, it's not even about validation, well, it is. It's not entirely about validation, it's more so about, I think, I'm not crazy, right? Like, I'm not crazy. I have these thoughts, someone has to agree. But also, okay, so at the beginning of this book Orwell,

• 6:40Brittany Broski?

  I should go get my copy of it because I've highlighted and underlined pretty much every fucking word in it. There are four main reasons why anyone would ever endeavor to write. One is for ego. One is for the aesthetic purposes of art and writing, right? That you see life as this beautiful artistic thing and prose and language. And not just the English language, of course, that's kind of what I'm speaking about just because English is my first language. But language used as a medium of art. That's the second reason. The third reason is political in nature, of course. And the fourth reason, I can't quite remember at this moment in time. Um, let me look it up.

• 7:24Brittany Broski?

  Orwell's Four Reasons for Writing. Sheer egoism, a desire to seem clever, to be talked about, to be remembered after death, to get your own back on grownups who snubbed you in childhood. What the, who wrote this? By Matt Tharp? Stupid. Aesthetic enthusiasm is number two. Historical impulse. That was the third one to sort of document what's happening and your thoughts on what's happening. And then the fourth is political purpose, which he makes some really great points in this book that

• 7:57Brittany Broski?

  everything is inherently political. Which that's a whole thing, you know, to sort of go into. And the rest of this book is him just honestly bitching about the British government's handling of the war and how what's interesting about the British Empire in the 40s, because that's when this, it was published in parts, I believe, different essays that were compiled into this, you know, Why I Write by George Orwell. And it was published in the late 30s through the late 40s. So through active wartime into directly post-war. And it's a reflection on how piss poor the British government behaved and conducted itself during the war and how

• 8:42Brittany Broski?

  it's like they weren't anti Hitler enough.

• 8:46Brittany Broski?

  And how disconnected, obviously, the ruling class is from the working class, and how it's this great lie that the working class will one day be free of the shackles that the ruling class have put them in, right? It's so many, nothing's changed. And this book is so, so interesting in terms of, I love to hear him talk about, he cannot help but write. He can't help it. Like, it has to happen. It had to come out of him. I mean, I think any creative would relate to that, right? Like, to be creative is because you cannot help it. When I first started making TikToks, when I was a little baby child, I loved to make shit. I crafted with my nana. I would film myself singing and dancing.

• 9:30Brittany Broski?

  I would do monologues in my room. I would act like I was a pop star singing into my hairbrush. Things like that are not to be denied as a creative medium. And the audience is just yourself. Now, would I perform for my family and friends? Yeah, I would. Sit down, you're gonna watch me do this. But it's also, that's for me. It's for every creative. You create for yourself, and then, you know, everything else that comes after that is a blessing. But I've been really locked the fuck into Orwell's, I mean, y'all know I love Orwell, but it's this feeling of, God, are we still back here? Have we not graduated out of, we're back in the fucking 40s!

• 10:13Brittany Broski?

  And I know that's a, it might be an embellishment, but the same problems we're facing today. Watching your government become fascist and authoritarian, it is a scary thing, but it's not something we have not experienced before as a collective, you know, human, humanity. And there is a light at the end of the tunnel. And that's what a lot of these, I mean, I wouldn't say Orwell's an optimist, per se, but I see a hope in his writing, even if there's a cynicism there. I see a hope. So, yeah, that, that's something I've been reading lately, very tea, I would recommend it. It's a quick read, it's like 120 pages. Oh my God, speaking of media I've been consuming, I'm almost done with season six of Sex and the City.

• 10:57Brittany Broski?

  Oh my fucking God. Oh my God. When I say this, I know how it sounds, but I know probably everyone will agree with me. Sex and the City is one of the best shows ever made. And I just spit everywhere. I just spit all over this fucking desk trying to say that. Hey, say it, don't spray it. Say it, don't spray it, pal. Overactive sweat glands, overactive spit glands. I get so damn excited. I get so damn excited about Sex and the City, I start spitting. What are those, um, is that llamas? Why do llamas do that? Why do llamas spit? It's really rude. Llamas primarily spit to communicate with their herds. Me to y'all.

• 11:42Brittany Broski?

  Me spit, uh, uh, uh, uh, all over this desk, and y'all are like, yes. Yeah, write that down, write that down. Establish dominance, me to y'all, and defend themselves, y'all to me. They may spit at other llamas to assert their position in the hierarchy or to warn... Goofy aw animal. Goofy aw animal, why are you spitting? Keep it in your fucking mouth and your pants, you pervert. They may spit at other llamas to assert their position in the hierarchy or to warn them away from food or personal space. Spitting can also be a way for a female llama to signal that she is not interested in a male's advances. Hey, let's adopt that. You want to come near me? Right? Get the fuck back.

• 12:27Brittany Broski?

  While llamas rarely spit at humans, they might do so if they feel threatened or mistreated. Who's mistreating llamas? Y'all better be nice to those damn llamas. Y'all better be nice to llamas and moose, because you know how I feel about moose, mese, if you will. The lamanese. Y'all know my, my thoughts and opinions on the lamanese and the mese. Be kind to them, they will turn on us, and I will not be the one spearheading that fight. I will be hiding. Because I know I come secondary to mese and llamas. If they've been raised primarily by humans and haven't spent much time with other llamas. Oh, they, they spit at humans because they think we're llamas. I get that.

• 13:10Brittany Broski?

  Male llamas often spit at each other to establish dominance, especially during mating season. Okay.

• 13:21Brittany Broski?

  Ew, when a llama spits, it often regurgitates partially digested food and stomach acid, making the spit more potent and visible. Now, just because of morbid curiosity, I have to Google what this look uh, looks like. Llama spit. Look away.

• 13:41Brittany Broski?

  Yeah, the Red Bull's making my tummy hurt. What can you do? You really can't do much. You live by the bull, you die by the bull. I just need to let everyone know that I'm currently experiencing technical difficulties and I'm like, doing my hotspot, doing whatever, trying to, for the purpose of Googling llama spit. I have got to know what that shit looks like. I'm just, it's morbid curiosity at this point.

• 14:03Speaker 02

  Stand by, I'll show you guys in a second.

• 14:08Brittany Broski?

  We're raw dogging this episode. I cannot use Google. My shit's not working. So here we go. Sex in the City.

• 14:15Brittany Broski?

  I believe that I'm forever changed by Aiden and Carrie. Okay, I just want to talk about Aiden again, because like I said last time, I'm, I'm having vivid fantasies about Aiden. Aiden was the perfect boyfriend. And quite honestly, Carrie's too self-destructive. She's too self-sabotage-y to appreciate a good thing when she has it. She would much rather have Mr. Big, okay? And do I understand it? Of fucking course I do. Do I fault her? No. However, who's the real victim in this scenario? Aiden. And that's the one and only time in my life I'll feel bad for a man in a relationship, okay? Cause he really did love her with everything. He was so tolerant. And she just, she wasn't ready for his type of love.

• 14:58Brittany Broski?

  And that makes me sad, right? Because that's the type of love that every woman deserves. To just be seen, to be cared for, to be taken out of your comfort zone in the best way, to live life and experience life with a romantic partner who is your rock, who will always be there. And that was Aiden! Fuck! And Carrie's a damn cheater. She is a damn cheater. And that is so, oh, when that was happening, I was like, get the fuck up. Are you serious, girl? And here's also the thing is, I see myself, I think I said this last episode, I see Carrie in me and I, I'm majority Miranda though. What did I say? I said I'm a, I'm a Miranda sun, a Carrie moon.

• 15:45Brittany Broski?

  I don't really have much of Samantha in me. I wish I did.

• 15:49Brittany Broski?

  I wish I did. I wish I was a Samantha rising. I'm a Miranda rising. A Carrie Sun and a Charlotte Moon. That's actually what I am. That's what I am. And you know what? Miranda just started seeing Dr. Robert, who I am very much, I'm very much in favor of this relationship. And can I say something really vindictive and nasty? This is nasty of my spirit. The weird friction between Steve and his new girlfriend and Miranda and Dr. Robert. I like it. I like it. Sorry. Because Steve had a damn good thing. Miranda and Steve, I do think they're meant to be together because they're equally as fucked up.

• 16:33Brittany Broski?

  But yeah, Steve always being like, yeah, Debbie, Debbie, Debbie. Girl, fuck you. I don't give a fuck about Debbie. If you're happy, great. But and can I say something also? And this is just me sort of. Okay. I'm a child of divorce. I know that there are so many legal rules when it comes to a marriage and separating, you know, as two equal caregivers suing each other for custody, whatever. Who gets to be around that child? And visitation times are very, you know, legally mandated, very closely monitored. I had a, what is that called? A... It was almost like a child psychologist, like a child lawyer, like someone to represent my...

• 17:17Brittany Broski?

  What the fuck is that called? Why is my hair not working? Ad litem, guardian ad litem. In a divorce case, a child is typically represented by a minor's counsel, also known as a child's attorney or guardian ad litem, who advocates for the child's best interests. This lawyer's role is to investigate the family situation, advise the court, and ensure the child's voice is heard. Period. I had one of them. And um... Do I remember it? No. But I, what a beautiful factor in that whole equation, right? Because it's, it's what each parent wants and each parent thinks they know is best for the, they think they know best for the child, but truly, a conversation with the child and what they're saying. I mean, there's a level of psychology there of like, what's, what's really going on at home? You know?

• 18:03Brittany Broski?

  My parents are fantastic, lovely. You know, some people just aren't meant to be together. That's kind of my scenario. But the divorce was, I was so young. I am very fortunate and blessed to have two parents who love me more than anything. I was the only child in that, from that union. And I have two great half siblings from my dad and my stepmom. But from that union, it was two parties who loved me more than, they were willing to do whatever to have custody of me. And so they ended up having split custody. Do y'all give a shit? And, uh, yeah, and add line of maternity, crazy. Why the fuck was I talking about that? Anyway, Aiden and Carrie. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Miranda and Steve.

• 18:47Brittany Broski?

  They have this co-parenting thing down to a science from what I'm, I'm seeing. Steve takes being a father seriously. Miranda doesn't really have a fucking choice, does she? And I'm still gagged that Miranda kept the baby. Because she, to me, strikes me as a woman who's like, fuck kids. Like, her career is her baby. Everything she's built, like, there are certain career paths that make having a child damn near impossible. I would say legal is one of them. And I would say, like, finance is another. But it's, it's this thing of, I see what they're doing. And I think, even from that whole charade of Miranda being like, I'm in love with Steve. And clearly Steve's still in love with her.

• 19:30Brittany Broski?

  And they're denying their own emotions and they're trying to make the other one jealous. It's fucking juvenile and it's hard to watch. But I get it. I guess I get it because Steve did what any man would do, I guess. And just got a new girlfriend, moved on. It's much easier for men to find a woman than for a woman to find a man. No hate to Debbie, the new girlfriend. She sounds lovely. But yeah, it's this weird, like, it's almost Debbie and Dr. Robert are collateral in this weird emotional mental war, the long game, that Miranda and Steve are waging on each other. And it pisses me off. And there's a baby in the middle of it. But I was gonna say, that makes me a bit uncomfortable, having lived through, I know

• 20:12Brittany Broski?

  how strict the guidelines are for, this is what I was saying, when you are dating someone who already has a child and is separated, there are so many court mandates on who can be around that kid and how long, and, and what happens, you know, in the, the presence of this, this third party. It gags me a little bit, watching just like, oh yeah, the new girlfriend and this and whatever, because I know they were never married and that's, that's why, you know, no courts involved. But it's just tea, isn't it? Cause I'm like, it makes me a bit uncomfortable having girlfriends come and go around this developing child. And I'm talking about these people like they're real. I'm like, I don't know

• 20:53Brittany Broski?

  Steve personally. I don't personally know Steve, but from what I've seen, he can be a bit childish, okay? And that worries me when he was gonna, let's actually get into this, because Steve is a man child. Steve wants to be babied and then resents the woman who babys him, right? The worst type of man, the worst type of man. You're proving to me that you are incompetent, that, you know, you're a little baby who happens to, to like work at a bar. It's like, I was not raised with that level of blase, you know, life

• 21:34Brittany Broski?

  happens to me. I don't control life. Like, in my head, it's about self-discipline, it's about setting the steps for your own success and not being a victim. And to Steve, Steve strikes me as this type of person that life happens to him, and that pisses me off. I don't want to be with someone like that, because that, that signals to me, you lack the capability to take accountability. Does that make sense? Where, in order to become a better person, and to acknowledge that there is an issue that you can work through together, you have to be able to say, I fucked up. I'm acting like I'm in this show. I'm

• 22:12Brittany Broski?

  like, if I was Miranda, I would be able to say, you behave in a way that makes a less than desirable aspect of my personality come out. It's not necessarily

• 22:29Brittany Broski?

  Your fault, but it's you and I versus this issue, okay? You behaving in that way puts more pressure on me, or I feel more pressure to take care of you. And I start to resent that, and you're resenting me for wanting to take care of you, because you're proving to me you can't do it on your own. And so I'm picking up the slack and I'm starting to resent you because no one's caring for me. Okay, it has to be a give and take and it has to be a healthy communicative relationship where I can express I'm not feeling taken care of, taken care of in this moment. And you, as my partner, should be able to be like, totally, totally hear you, right? And that's, that's my bad and I'll work on that. And I should be able to say the same thing, you know?

• 23:14Brittany Broski?

  Hey, that's my fault. I'll work on that. Because if you really love each other, you'll make it work. You'll make it work. That pisses me off about Miranda and Steve because here I see this strong, capable, independent woman who has built a lovely life for herself. Throw it away for this fucko! And I'm, Steve's a nice guy, okay? But nice isn't enough. I need you to be competent and reliable and dependable. Because that's what a relationship is. We can hang out, okay? I can be friends with a nice guy. The fuck bitch? That's my baby's father! Pissed off.

• 23:54Brittany Broski?

  Anyway, that's my thing with Miranda and Steve is the baby situation makes me a bit uncomfortable because who's to say if Debbie's gonna stick around? I'm only on like episode 10 of season six. And I think the movie is next, I'm gonna watch the movie next. And y'all are telling me that the TV show's not good. The next TV show's not good. And now I'm like, I have to see it through to the end. I have to see it through to the end because each time, I know that that's, why I love this show so much is it really captures this feeling that, like if you get it, you get it of, is this the one? Like Carrie has such a hope with each man that comes into her life. Like, and Charlotte too, is this the one?

• 24:36Brittany Broski?

  And I know that feeling of like, God, is the search over? Can I hang up my fucking jersey in the rafters in seeking my partner?

• 24:49Brittany Broski?

  And of course, the answer is no! The answer is no! And I also appreciate that they're showing like Charlotte got married and that shit did not work. And then she got married again, and there's a fearlessness in that of I am dedicated to my own happiness. Period. I'm dedicated to my own happiness and I need to trust myself. Oh my God, that's a great segue into what I want to talk about next. I need to trust myself to know what is good for me. I'm my own ad lib item attorney. Thank you so much.

Girl, last time we talked, I was about to go to a psychic. That day, me, Drew, and Jason were gonna go to a psychic, okay? We went, oh my god. Let me just put this out in the universe, okay? I'm an expat Christian. I have a proclivity towards spiritualism.

• 29:07Brittany Broski?

  I was raised as a spiritual being. I feel connected with the other. Whatever is out there, I feel connected to it. I don't know what it is. I don't know if it has a name, but I know that I am connected.

• 29:20Speaker 02

  That sounds kinda woo woo. I don't give a fuck.

• 29:24Brittany Broski?

  Because it helps me sleep at night and it saves me from the cosmic horrors. Okay? We went to this damn psychic and I'm thinking it's kind of a joke, but really not. Okay? Cause a psychic? What are you talking about? A clairvoyant? It's just some white lady with a bunch of bangles on like, I see love in your future. Like, fuck you! Girl, we show up. I had spoken to Ms. Chloe. Ms. Chloe. She was the cutest little... She had to be four foot ten, Persian lady, gorgeous lash extensions, acrylic toenails. Hey, I trust you immediately. I trust her immediately. A matching Fabletics outfit. I trust you immediately. Okay? And we sit down and she's like, have you ever had a reading before?

  And I'm like, no. And honestly, I'm kinda scared because you know all the negative connotations of like a psychic reading. I don't wanna be told I'm gonna die. Hey, newsflash, we all die. My god, sorry. Someone was calling me on the Mickey phone. I don't wanna be told that I'm gonna die, even though that is quite honestly the only certainty in this lifetime is that you're gonna die someday. I don't need to be told about all that, Ms. Chloe. Keep that to yourself. But we went in with an intentionality of like, I wanna know about my love life. I wanna know about my future and I wanna know about my finances. Those are kinda the big three. And we go in and she's like, okay, we'll do a palm reading and we'll do a tarot reading. And my friends have done tarot for me before. I talked about Annabelle did it, you know,

• 30:50Brittany Broski?

  a few weeks ago on me and it's, you pick and choose what, what applies to you. And a lot of it did apply to me, some of it didn't, you know, whatever. This was crazy, y'all. If you've never been to a psychic and you're, you feel on a similar spiritual wave as me, like a frequency as me, where I'm not fully convinced, but I'm not anti. Right? And the more that I kind of... Flirt with, it's not the occult. The more that I flirt with this outside the bounds of Christianity, like this spiritualism, or any Abrahamic religion, I feel more seen than I ever did with Christianity.

• 31:34Brittany Broski?

  And that's a loaded statement, which I can get into later. But with that, we go in and she goes, okay, show me your palms. And so I go, oh, God, what if they're shit under my nails? Is that a bad sign? And as I showed her my palms, as she looked at both, she said, that one. Okay, what the fuck is my other one? Is this one ugly? I was like, okay. And she stared at my hand for like 30 seconds, dead silence. And I'm like, I'm gonna die. Oh, my God, I'm gonna die. It's happening. I'm balding, I'm balding, aren't I? Just say it. She goes, July is your lucky month. Hey, hey, what? She said, I see a great career for you.

• 32:18Brittany Broski?

  She said, uh, some stuff about like friends betraying me. And then she said some stuff about living through that and having, being rewarded with great friends who truly see you. And I'm like, damn. She said, my lucky number is 10. Hey, my birthday is the 10th. She said, my lucky day of the week is Thursday. Okay. Then she gagged me because she was like, I sense, and by the way, she didn't, we gave a fake name, like she clearly did not know who I was, which I wanted, because I wanted a complete, you know, like, let's test this. There's a lot of information about me online.

• 32:58Brittany Broski?

  I need you to lock the fuck into what's happening right here on my sweaty, oily palm. And don't touch it, because you know, I might get my juices on you. But she goes, I feel a sickness, a negative energy in your stomach and your legs. Does that resonate with you? And I go, what the fuck are you saying? Because of course, the gallbladder escapade of 2025, all that happened and all of that caused other shit. Like I had pancreatitis and then I had, um, I was jaundice. Like all this shit has happened in my gut and my legs. I haven't told anyone this, but like I have leg spasms that are, it's kind of worrisome,

• 33:42Brittany Broski?

  but I've gotten it kind of checked out. I got, I mean, we're really getting into it here. I had an ultrasound on my legs, probably three, four months ago, because my legs spasm and it's not in a, it's not painful, but it is annoying. It happens 24/7 all the time. And I was like, girl, I fly so much. If I have a blood clot and something happens when I'm midair, oh my, like it makes me sweaty and panicked thinking about it. I haven't really told anyone that. I like barely even my friends and family because I've just been kind of dealing with it. It's not life threatening. I had an ultrasound on all the veins in my legs. I have no blood clots. I have no deep vein thrombosis, nothing like that. I don't even have, knock on wood, uh, varicose veins or anything, which can happen in young women,

• 34:27Brittany Broski?

  but you know, that's, it's like an issue that needs to be addressed. I don't have any of that. It's just my leg spasm. And I'm, I'm like, uh, the doctor, the last time I spoke to him said, it might be nerves. Like my nerves might be damaged or pinched, pinched or something like that. I've also struggled with sciatica and come to find out I had an X-ray a couple of months ago as well for all this gallbladder shit. Something's up with the bottom of my spine. I got a herniated disc or something like that. Hell, I don't know. Something slipped. Something slipped out of place. Hell, I don't know. It's pinching on me. It's pinching me. I don't know what's going on, but regardless, my point being, I haven't told that many people.

• 35:09Brittany Broski?

  She clocked it. She said, there's something with your stomach and your legs. And I'm, I almost started crying because I was like, okay, I believe you. Immediately, I believe you because that is so specific. I do believe that there is a, an aura, a light around people. And I do believe that some people can see it. And she also said something, because I went into this reading, holding an intention in my mind, because she told me to. She also told me not to tell anyone. Hey, I'm telling everyone because I have to, I have to talk about this shit. She said that, hold an intention in your mind. My intention was, I need to connect with my female intuition.

• 35:50Brittany Broski?

  I feel so disconnected from what I know to be right. I listen to everyone, I give everyone around me way more credit than I give myself. And when that starts to happen, when you're disconnected from what you believe and what you think, and you, you value everyone else's opinions over your own, I've been so like teetering on the edge of depressed for a long time. I'm anxious as fuck all of the time. The Red Bull probably does not help. Okay, I will be the first to admit that. I'm so anxious all the time. And of course, the state of the world has a lot to do with that, but it's also, it's a mental thing, just on me,

• 36:36Brittany Broski?

  that I feel disconnected from my intuition. I feel like I'm not in control, and that's hard for me. I also feel like

• 36:47Brittany Broski?

  some of the things that I

• 36:52Brittany Broski?

  do, I don't know if I would have done if I didn't listen to someone else. Does that make sense? And that leaves me feeling weird because it's like, who am I serving? And in this job, I serve an audience, you know, I serve the people, I'm a people pleaser. How do you balance being a people pleaser with pleasing yourself? And I, I just have for a long time been tug of warring in my own brain with this shit. And so her saying that, or, or me going in with that intention. I don't know if I've noticed a significant difference thus far, but I'm working on it. And if anyone has any tips or tricks, if there's any woo woo bitches out there for intuition,

• 37:35Brittany Broski?

  like, do I need to burn an intuition candle? Do I need to put a crystal up my hole? What do I need to do? Bathe in the moonlight and the crystal juice. I will do whatever it takes because that connectivity I have been lacking for so long. And it's, it's shaken me, to be honest. And I think I'm just now able to like, actually articulate what it has been. Like, why do I feel so all the time? It's because I'm, I'm floating, I'm lost in my own brain. Anyway, uh, she said that, well, she actually didn't say bullshit about intuition, which is kind of upsetting because that's all I wanted. But she said, I'm meeting a young gentleman in July. I don't know what that means.

• 38:20Brittany Broski?

  I don't know what that means. And I tried not to give too much, too much weight to that statement. She said, he is tall. Hey, amen. And the church said, amen, he is tall. Yes, God, and God is good.

• 38:35Brittany Broski?

  He's tall. She said, a big trip is coming up soon. I'm going to Ireland in August. I'm, I'm just like, there are things that sure, like she said some shit that didn't really resonate.

• 38:49Brittany Broski?

  But it was a very small percentage. And who's to say, right? Like, maybe it doesn't resonate yet. And maybe if and when it happens, I'm gonna look back and be like, "Damn, she was right." I'm already having that. Me and Jason have been texting like, "Damn, she kind of was really good. I need to go see her again." And she even said, "Come back and visit me after July and let me know what happened." And I'm like, "What happened?" So we'll see. Anyway, yeah, I would really, if you've never been to a psychic, don't get scammed, by the way. Some of these psychics we were calling, and I know I'm in Hollywood, whatever, they were like, "That'll be $500 for a 30-minute session. You're smoking crack." That's crazy. I was like, "A palm reading? $50?

• 39:34Brittany Broski?

  I'll pay $50 for a palm reading. Tarot? Sure, I'll pay $100, okay? And that's like, "You better be talking to me for 30 minutes about my tarot and answering my questions and whatever. I don't want you to just be like, 'For you, I see great fortune.'" "Okay, I take Venmo, Cash App, Zelle." I'm like, "Girl." And so then I was very happy with Miss Chloe. And I will see her again. Oh, my God, my internet just came back. The universe provides an abundance mindset. And what did I Google? Child lawyer. Okay, now I'm gonna look up llama spit. And what does it look like?

• 40:13Brittany Broski?

  Ew! It's like, green! Ew! Now llamas are just so cute. I'll be, I'll be really honest. Look at him, he's a widow! Look! I need a llama! What the hell? What the hell, he? What? This llama's wearing sunglasses! What the fuck? They don't do that!

• 40:40Brittany Broski?

  Anyway, wow, I love llamas. That's so millennial of me. That was a very millennial moment, and I can actually acknowledge that. Um, spit happens.

• 40:52Brittany Broski?

  Happy hump day. Shut the fuck up. Anyway, yeah, so my psychic was great. I had a great time at the psychic. I will be going back. And I will say, a lot of the reading kind of centered on, don't tell anyone. You need to maintain your privacy a bit better. Hey, I'm working on it. Hey, we can't all be perfect. All right. Progress is not linear. It comes in waves.

• 41:18Brittany Broski?

  Oh, also, let me just say this, right? She said, be more private. Well, speaking things into existence works. It fucking works. And I'm on that woo woo side of TikTok, because TikTok, the TikTok algorithm is psychic. We know this. Okay, it's not an if, it's a yes. It listens, it's psychic, it predicts what you want to see. I get a lot of tarot readings on my For You page, and it's insane how kind of accurate they are sometimes. It's exactly what I want to hear. Is it cognitive bias? Yeah. Is it, is that what it's called? Confirmation bias? Yes, it's that. But if it's for the betterment of, you know, my

• 42:03Brittany Broski?

  life and things that I want in my life, like contentment, and abundance, and fulfilling relationships, and beautiful friendships, and comfort and love, then yeah, I have no problem speaking about that. That, to me, is not a breach of privacy. It's like, I'm, I'm welcoming it in, you know, and, and I don't really see something wrong with that. Now, Miss Chloe might batch me over the head, but who fucking knows? And it's kind of got me into, this is so not, like, how I was raised, which is crazy. It's got me into tarot a little bit. And actually, this is what I wanted to look up. How does, how does tarot?

• 42:50Brittany Broski?

  Work and where do the cards come from? The interpretation of symbolic imagery, yes. They are believed to work by accessing the reader's intuition and subconscious, sometimes in conjunction with external influences like spirits or collective symbolism. The cards themselves are thought to be a conduit for accessing this information rather than possessing inherent power. Yeah, it's kind of like a Ouija board, but not as... Why are Ouija boards... Why are Ouija boards bad? They're believed to be a form of divination, which is forbidden by some religious and spiritual beliefs. What do you mean by divination, though?

• 43:32Brittany Broski?

  What is meant by divination? The practice of seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown by supernatural means. Are tarot cards not also divination? A medium of divination? Some people believe that Ouija boards can connect users to spirits or entities, which may not always be benevolent. Here's what I want to know. History of Ouija boards. Is it Ouija? It's Ouija. The Ouija board. Luigi. A talking board for communicating with spirits was patented in 1891. Now, see, here we go. The fucking capitalists coming in and patenting a spiritual practice.

• 44:13Brittany Broski?

  1891 by Elijah Bond and popularized by William Fold, who took over its production. While Bond and others initially saw it as a way to contact the dead, it was Fold who marketed it as a game, capitalizing on the growing American spiritualist movement after the Civil War. The name Ouija itself was reportedly given by a planchette on the board when asked what it should be called. Oh. Def...

• 44:40Brittany Broski?

  Fine Ouija.

• 44:44Brittany Broski?

  Oh, that just kind of sent a chill down my spine. Is Ouija an Egyptian word?

• 44:53Brittany Broski?

  Ouija is called, what's happening when you use a Ouija is called automatic writing. And the marketers of the original boards claimed the term Ouija itself derived from an ancient Egyptian word for good luck, though any casual observer can see that the word was formed from.

• 45:13Brittany Broski?

  Though any casual observer can see that the word was formed from combining the words for yes in French and German, oui ja, tying into the yes and no that appear on the board itself. A note on pronunciation, either Ouija or Ouija is acceptable. Okay. Now, that is very interesting to me.

• 45:32Brittany Broski?

  Okay, now I want to know about tarot. Origin of tarot. Because let me go ahead and make a prediction. I would say that tarot might be from the traveling community, the Romani people. Tarot cards originated in 15th century Italy as a card game called Tarocchi, Tarocchi, because double Cs in Italian are, that's, right? Double C in Italian pronunciation. In Italian, double Cs generally pronounced as a single c sound, similar to the hard C in words like cat or cup. However, if the double C is preceded by an H, it becomes a hard c sound, like in words

• 46:16Brittany Broski?

  where ch should be pronounced as c. What? The word chiosco, which is CH, is pronounced with a hard c. Yeah. Words with H before the double Cs are still pronounced as a hard K. For example, Pinocchio is pronounced with a hard K. Okay. Similar to Pinocchio. What?

• 46:40Brittany Broski?

  Okay, go back. So double Cs, pronounce this K. Teroki. Teroki. Italian Broski Nation, let me know. Oh shit. The earliest decks were created for the wealthy and were often hand painted. These decks, like the Visconti Sforza deck, included a fifth suit of trump cards, distinguishing them from standard playing cards. While initially a game, tarot cards later gained popularity for divination, particularly in the 18th and 19th centuries, with occultists assigning symbolic meanings to the cards. One of the suggested searches is, "Is tarot okay for Christians?" Relax a little bit, guys. Hey, it's gonna be okay.

• 47:22Brittany Broski?

  Many Christians object to tarot because of its associations with divination and fortune telling. But others are increasingly using the cards as a tool for self-directed spiritual contemplation. That, that morbid curiosity, that, that macabre interest in the occult has always fascinated. You give a Puritan society or a Puritan religion knowledge that the occult is out there, no one's more interested than someone who adheres to a strict and stern religion, right? It's a fascination and it turns into a fear, and that turns into prejudice. Just gag, okay? Like, you guys want to have your tarot read so bad?

• 48:06Brittany Broski?

  You guys want a palm reading so bad?

• 48:11Brittany Broski?

  That's that shit where when you get the devil card,

• 48:14Brittany Broski?

  "The devil does not mean death." The, look, let's Google it. "The devil tarot card meaning." "It represents being seduced by the material world and physical pleasures. Also, living in fear, domination, and bondage, being caged by an overabundance of luxury, discretion should be used in personal and business matters. The devil tarot card suggests feelings of obsession, addiction, and entrapment. It can signify a sense of helplessness due to external forces or circumstances. However, it reminds you that you're responsible for your actions, and your perceived constraints are often self-imposed."

• 48:53Brittany Broski?

  Okay, the devil card upright signifies the shadow self, attachment, addiction, restriction, and sexuality, reversed, releasing limiting beliefs, exploring dark thoughts,

• 49:09Brittany Broski?

  and detachment. Very tea to me. Where did the symbols?

• 49:18Brittany Broski?

  Where did the symbols for tarot come from? I also want to Google Romani community tarot. The Romani community has a long and significant history with tarot, not as its creators, but as its custodians and practitioners, particularly in the realm of fortune telling. While the exact origin of tarot is debated, it's clear that the Roma have played a crucial role in preserving and developing its use for divination and wisdom traditions, fortune telling being a survival trade passed down through generations. Some Romani individuals expressed concerns about the appropriation of their cultural practices and symbols when

• 49:55Brittany Broski?

  non-Romani people use tarot. It's so interesting because if we're saying that that is correct, that it was developed and, you know, as a adjacent to a card game in the 15th century, that's such a, I have to Google this on my own. I have to read about the history of tarot because of course, you know, cultural appropriation is bound to happen. And in that, it becomes diluted and the quality of tarot that we have today and the mass production of tarot cards and whatever, very intriguing to me because they write books

• 50:39Brittany Broski?

  on this and you can literally like do a spread and then read what it says. And that just feels like the interpersonal act of pulling and reading tarot for someone is lost in that. If you do a reading on yourself and you reference a book, I don't know, isn't there supposed, I've always seen tarot as the reader or the person pulling the cards has an element of clairvoyance to them, a third eye that's been opened.

• 51:09Brittany Broski?

  Do I sound insane? Like, do I? Y'all have to agree with me, right? This shit's real. This shit is real if you want it to be real. But that's a, it's a slippery slope. Because if you start justifying maybe negative actions or sabotaging actions based on a spiritual reading that you got, that's where it's like, I don't know if the spirits are telling you to do all that, girl. I don't know if that's what the spirits meant. So, who knows? I don't know if the spirits want you to get back with your ex. I don't know if that's actually in the cards. But you know what I mean? Where like, there has to be a level of human discernment that's like, okay, that serves me.

• 51:53Brittany Broski?

  That probably doesn't serve me. All very interesting to me. And every time I get a tarot reading on my For You page, I watch the whole fucking thing. Especially when they're like, no hashtags. This was meant for you. Yeah, it was meant for me. Cause I'm

• 52:10Brittany Broski?

  Ouija board. Most famous Ouija board

• 52:17Brittany Broski?

  stories. Yeah, we're going on r slash ghosts. Once again, welcome to

• 52:29Brittany Broski?

  Now, take all of this with a grain of salt. We're doing story time. We're doing ghost story time with Brittany Broski on the Broski Report, courtesy of r slash ghosts. Here we go. So, the prompt is, people who have used a Ouija board, what's the scariest response you've gotten? This one was scary to me. My mom and aunt used a board after their dad died. He had remarried, but had told his daughters that he was leaving them a few things in his will, including some money. His second wife was the executor and was saying he hadn't left them money, et cetera, et cetera. Sorry, I can't remember exactly what she said. Anyway, mom and her sister thought it was possible the money wasn't left to them after all, like second wife said, but my aunt was really strapped for cash and they felt

• 53:12Brittany Broski?

  like it was also possible the second wife was withholding the info and money. They apparently managed to get their dad via the Ouija board and asked him whether he had left them money in his will. It spelt out a three-letter acronym for a bank and then a series of numbers. Turns out, he did have a bank account with money in it intended for his daughters. The account matched the bank acronym and account number. This one spooked me because the details were a surprise to my mom and aunt. I don't know how they could have got that info out of thin air. Okay, next story. I'm from a farming family. We used to sell grain through the Canadian Wheat Board and you would get paid and at the end of the year, you'd get a final payment. You never know how much per bushel you'd get as a final payment. My brother asked

• 53:56Brittany Broski?

  the Ouija board and it told us. Can't remember, it was 30 years ago. Anyway, he went to the coffee shop, told all his buddies how much it was gonna be. A few months later, it was announced and it was the exact amount. The coffee group were as amazed as my brother and I.

• 54:11Brittany Broski?

  Okay, all this is about money. The first and only time I ever used one, I was a teenager playing on it with a friend on my back porch. I didn't know of anyone who had died recently. Oh, here we fucking go!

• 54:26Brittany Broski?

  Except I remembered from an old photo on the wall, a great aunt called Neil. The name Neil stuck with me because it was a boy's name. So I tried to talk to great aunt Neil, but when I speak, I say without hesitation or control, Aunt Connie. I thought, that's weird. I don't have an Aunt Connie. I try again and say, I'm trying to speak with, and mentally said the word Neil, Aunt Connie. It was an involuntary response. Very weird, very weird, but we moved on and kept playing. When my mom got home from running errands, she asked how our game was going and I replied, it's fine, except I kept trying to talk to great aunt Neil, but kept saying Connie, which is so weird because I don't have an Aunt Connie. I still remember my mom's face in that moment. Turns out, I did have an Aunt Connie, just got chill, just got chill.

• 55:11Brittany Broski?

  She was a baby who died of SIDS decades before I was born. My mom almost named me after her. Oh, I'm chilled on my body!

• 55:21Brittany Broski?

  I went on to have extreme paranormal experiences that continue to this day, actually. I think it opened a door that I have not been able to close. The scariest things that have ever happened to me were from when I was a moody 15 to 18 year old girl. That seemed to really energize my surroundings and lots of scary things happened. I saw people. I heard my name whispered in my ear at night multiple times. I would kill myself, dude. Holy shit. Those, what were they called? Those chain emails that were like, if you don't fire this, she will be standing at the end of your bed. I always forwarded that shit. Get that shit away from me. I mean it. I mean it. That, do not do that to me. Cause I have an active imagination. Okay?

• 56:04Brittany Broski?

  I am constantly on the, on the edge of psychosis. I'm, I am so not stable up here that that shit, I do not invite it in. I do not invite it in, but I know they see me as a victim. They see me as a future victim. You're, you're not gonna get me, bitch. You're never gonna get me. Anyway, speaking of which, I should really get a protection for my home. I'm gonna go to a crystal shop today. Cause what do you, I mean, you can sage the house, but you, I don't, it has to be like Native American sage. I don't want any of the fake bullshit, like from the originators of the practice. That's where I want to get my shit ethically, sustainably sourced. But I don't know, I want someone to come sage it for me. I don't know what I'm doing. Okay?

• 56:48Brittany Broski?

  I'm just scared. My mom has this, my mother, the ghost hunter, thank you very much, has this silver, mom, I know you're watching. What is it called? It's just a silver oval plaque that says like, God is here. What does it say? It's like, God is my protector or something. And it's that solid silver, which is good. And I think she had it blessed by someone. She's also got holy water in the house. Is my mom Catholic? No. Which I've talked about this before, how when she does investigations and expeditions, actually, let's call her.

• 57:26Brittany Broski?

  Let's call her.

• 57:37Speaker 03

  Hello?

• 57:38Brittany Broski?

  Maida!

• 57:40Speaker 03

  What you doing, Doris?

• 57:41Brittany Broski?

  You're on the Brosky Report.

• 57:43Speaker 03

  I'm on the Brosky Report.

• 57:45Brittany Broski?

  I've got an occult question for you.

• 57:48Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 57:49Brittany Broski?

  Okay.

• 57:50Speaker 03

  What you got?

• 57:50Brittany Broski?

  What is that solid silver thing that you've always had in your house that's above doorways?

• 57:57Speaker 03

  It's just a little plaque that says, "May God bless our home."

• 58:00Brittany Broski?

  Was it blessed by anyone, or is there a significance to it being solid silver? I remember you telling me that one time.

• 58:07Speaker 03

  Oh, um, not, not really. And it's not silver, it's pewter. And pewter just is, is just, um, pewter, silver, any of the, the metals that come from the earth just hold good vibes and, and, um, and good energy.

• 58:28Brittany Broski?

  Okay.

• 58:29Speaker 03

  And so when, when I, you know, when I move into a home, um, I like to, um, kind of clear out my home and I pray over my home and I also bless it with, with sage.

• 58:42Brittany Broski?

  Okay, that's my next question is,

• 58:45Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 58:45Brittany Broski?

  Um, I know that when you do investigations, or when you, you know, move into a new home, whatever, a lot of the, and I've asked you this before, but never talked about it on the podcast, a lot of the customs and traditions and I guess rituals are deeply rooted in Catholicism. You are not a Catholic, nor have you ever been, nor do you want to be. What, how do you reconcile that? And why do you give legitimacy to like the Catholic way of cleansing a space? When you don't adhere to that religion?

• 59:22Speaker 03

  Well, I would probably say because there really isn't a Protestant one, per se. And I would, and, and so, you know, to, if I want to stick to Christianity, then the only other, um, I guess default would be, you know, the Catholic way of, of blessing, um, I guess, you know, um, either a building or a person or whatever. I mean, because it's still, you know, God is still Jesus Christ and it's still trying to keep away bad spirits, you know, in the spiritual realm, per se, or bring in the good ones.

• 1:00:03Speaker 03

  So I would probably say that's why, and, and just because traditionally in the paranormal realm, that, yes, that's how they've always done it. And, I mean, any, any kind of, um, Christian-based, uh, protection is, is welcomed, even holy water. I mean, you know, because that's blessed.

• 1:00:22Brittany Broski?

  Are there not? Why do you think there's no, like, exorcisms in Protestant followings?

• 1:00:31Speaker 03

  That's a good question, and you know, not one that I've really studied or tried to, um, um, find out why they don't cover exorcisms. It might be because Protest, maybe Protestants don't believe like the Catholics do about... I'm really not sure that, that, I'm just, I'm just putting it out there. Maybe, um, being possessed by demons. I mean, you don't really hear about from Protestants as much as you do, like Catholics. I mean, obviously, because even the Vatican, you know, recognizes, uh, possessions, you know, of souls.

• 1:01:12Speaker 03

  So, I don't know, maybe it was just something that Catholics kind of... Did already and Protestants didn't need to, I guess, piggyback off of it. That's what I'm thinking. But I mean, we, you know, obviously, we do believe that there are bad, you know, there's bad juju, bad spirits and bad demons. But I don't know why. That's a very good question and one that I'm probably gonna research now. Why is there not exorcisms per se, other than asking that, you know, and telling that spirit, that bad spirit, that they're not allowed here, they're not, you know, that kind of thing, not a full exorcism per se.

• 1:01:52Brittany Broski?

  And

• 1:01:53Speaker 03

  Maybe that's a priest thing. Maybe that's a Catholic, you know, from way back when. I don't know where it originates from. That would be a, a, a good thing to look into, which I will.

• 1:02:03Brittany Broski?

  Yeah, it just doesn't make sense. I mean, if you're talking about Christianity at its core is Christianity. I mean, I know that of course, there's so many different differentiations of it, but like, if demonic entities exist and that's like a, a truth, then why is it not? Anyway, my second question is, uh, did you ever play with a Ouija board? And do you have a story?

• 1:02:28Speaker 03

  Yes, I have played with a Ouija board, uh, but that was back in the day, uh, way back in the day when I was a teenager and in my twenties and

• 1:02:38Brittany Broski?

  You think it's real?

• 1:02:40Speaker 03

  Yes, I absolutely do.

• 1:02:43Speaker 03

  It started off as a toy, but I do believe that it is, it can open up portals to, um, invite things into our world that, um, was unable to get in. And I, and I don't know why they came across this and thought it was going to be a toy when you hear so many stories about um, things that have happened with the, with the Ouija board, especially, I mean, but I will tell you that yes, I have had a run in with a Ouija board, um, as far as when I did a ghost investigation of a, a personal home a few years ago, probably about 10 years ago.

• 1:03:25Speaker 03

  And they had an entity in their home, a demonic entity. You know, we do this preliminary questions where we ask them, you know, tell us the history of the home, tell us history about the people that live in the home, the experiences you've had. And there was a um, demonic entity in a closet that was

• 1:03:45Speaker 03

  Yeah, that would really interfere with the children in the home. And come to find out, um, they were the adults in this home. Were doing, were playing with the Ouija board with the children in this closet.

• 1:04:00Brittany Broski?

  What the hell?

• 1:04:02Speaker 03

  And they didn't tell us about it until we found the Ouija board. And they didn't tell us, they like lied to us and said, no, we don't do Ouija board. We found it in the closet. And we said, there's your problem. You have opened there some kind of portal and invited this entity in through this portal.

• 1:04:19Brittany Broski?

  And not closed it?

• 1:04:21Speaker 03

  And you did not close it. Cause we asked, tell us what you did with this. And you know, when you don't close it and say no, and say, okay, we're done. And do what you're supposed to do, just like the quote game says to do, then you leave it open for that entity to come in and out. It can be just like mirrors or anything else. And so we had to remove it from the home.

• 1:04:44Brittany Broski?

  How do you dispose of it?

• 1:04:46Speaker 03

  So there's many ways that you can, but truly you have to have a priest or a pastor, somebody that.

• 1:04:53Brittany Broski?

  Not a Hasbro toy.

• 1:04:55Speaker 03

  I know, that's been blessed by the church and you have to have a ceremony with it and you bury it. You can bury it or you can burn it. Uh, to get rid of it. And you have to actually do the Ouija board to close it out first.

• 1:05:10Brittany Broski?

  No.

• 1:05:11Speaker 03

  And bury it, usually in a cemetery, or you just burn the whole thing and you get rid of the ashes.

• 1:05:17Brittany Broski?

  The evil microplastic.

• 1:05:19Speaker 03

  And then after that, guess what? They didn't have any more problems. Isn't that weird?

• 1:05:24Brittany Broski?

  Who is on the other side of a Ouija board? Is it always trapped negative energy or negative spirits? Or is it, like, does everyone have evil intent? On the opposite side of a Ouija board?

• 1:05:39Speaker 03

  No, no, there's not always evil intent on, because I think that it could be a portal just to, um, try to contact loved ones, just like if you were to do a seance, um, using a crystal ball, you can bring in, or any kind of seance with candles or flashlights. All of those are open doors to letting letting spirits in and when those, in those. Again, piggybacking, evil spirits can come in that way and they can mask themselves looking like good spirits and they're really evil. So I'm not saying it's all evil, but I'm saying it is just as

• 1:06:19Speaker 03

  easy for a bad entity to get through those portals as it is maybe trying to contact a loved one or somebody from your past, from the past.

• 1:06:29Brittany Broski?

  Do you think they're trapped there?

• 1:06:32Speaker 03

  Ooh, sometimes I do. Sometimes I do. I think that

• 1:06:36Brittany Broski?

  Like unfinished business?

• 1:06:37Speaker 03

  Yes, unfinished business and, and sometimes I really do believe paranormal investigators can help, especially when you have psychics with you and, and that can help these entities pass over from one realm to the other and you just let go of whatever they might be attached to that's keeping them, you know, in, in their loop, basically.

• 1:07:05Brittany Broski?

  Hmm.

• 1:07:06Speaker 03

  Yeah, I, I don't think it's always the case, but I absolutely do think that that, that can occur.

• 1:07:11Brittany Broski?

  Cause there's different types of hauntings, right? I mean, we don't have to get too deep into it, but like a residual haunting versus i- is that the one where they're trapped in the same cycle?

• 1:07:22Speaker 03

  Like a loop.

• 1:07:23Brittany Broski?

  A loop?

• 1:07:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, like a, a residual haunting is, is one where they don't see you, but you, you can feel them. And so they're going throughout their day doing the same thing that they might have done when they passed away, you know, or during their home. And those are the ones where we sit there and try to communicate with them and we can see their actions or, or sometimes or like see nists and things like that, but they will never interact with us.

• 1:07:53Brittany Broski?

  Hmm.

• 1:07:53Speaker 03

  Uh, we get a lot of residual hauntings, uh, where we, we don't get any. Evidence of people or any kind of spirits trying to contact us back. And then, you know, there's actually many ha- many, you know, hauntings, different hauntings. But the one that we're always looking for are those that are going to be able to communicate back with us. There's many names for them, an active haunting or.

• 1:08:21Brittany Broski?

  They're like more playful. They wanna, they wanna reaction.

• 1:08:26Speaker 03

  They wanna interact with you and you can actually ask them to do things, use this energy to reach out to us. And that's where we can get evidence, like on our EMF readings, or they light up a flashlight or. And so they, we know that they are active in wherever they are and they might try to communicate with us. That's why we set up equipment and then ask them to, to communicate with us.

• 1:08:54Brittany Broski?

  And what are they be saying, girl? What are they saying?

• 1:08:58Speaker 03

  They might be trying to tell us something. They might be trying to, trying to tell them, tell us that they might be trapped somewhere and they need help to get out of their situation. Or, yeah, you'd be surprised. You would actually be surprised. And it's not just humans. It can be animals too.

• 1:09:15Brittany Broski?

  Hmm. Yeah, what's the, you had a cat in your home?

• 1:09:19Speaker 03

  I had a cat and I had.

• 1:09:20Brittany Broski?

  A dead cat?

• 1:09:22Speaker 03

  A greyhound dog in my, in my, when I would think about this, and these animals that were, it was like a grey, it was a greyhound, big dog. And no, they, if they were dead, I, yes, i- if you're gonna feel a spirit, yeah, they're dead. Usually they're going to, they will have passed away.

• 1:09:44Brittany Broski?

  Do you like see it in your mind's eye? Cause I know you told me that one story. You were on the toilet and you felt like a cat go over your, your feet, but.

• 1:09:50Speaker 03

  Over my feet. And it happened again in my old house across my feet when I was in the kitchen. Like a cat, which is like a wispy across my feet, like walked across my.

• 1:09:59Brittany Broski?

  And do you see it in your mind's eye? Like it's soft like an animal or you're just like an in- an image gets conjured up? Or how are you not just like, that's the AC?

• 1:10:09Speaker 03

  An image absolutely gets conjured up. And um even, and it was like a gray cat in my mind as it was doing it. And what was really weird was I had not told Harry about this. And we were on the couch one night and he said, I just saw something like a cat or something in my mind.

• 1:10:30Brittany Broski?

  No way.

• 1:10:31Speaker 03

  In the corner of my eye going down that hallway toward the office. And I said, you did? I said, what was, he was like, it was like a cat. It was like a full, about the size of a cat. I said, what color was it? He said, gray. I said, no way. I said, that's the cat I'm telling you about, that, that I told him. I had never told him the color. And it walked past my feet, you know? And then I felt the energy of a, a big dog trapped in my bedroom when I first moved into that house. Like somebody used to keep that dog locked up all the time. And, and there were scratch marks on the door. So I knew something was going on, but in my mind, I saw a greyhound, like an old retired big greyhound dog. Now, where would I get that from?

• 1:11:15Speaker 03

  I mean, you know, I mean, it could be any dog in the world.

• 1:11:18Brittany Broski?

  Yeah, it's one of those things. Yeah, of like, is it just a trapped energy? Or is it actually, you know, why would it, why would an animal still inhabit a space like that? It doesn't, what's the purpose?

• 1:11:31Speaker 03

  Who knows? But I mean, it's like, when, why does my, why did my mind go there and, and, you know, either form that image? Or make it up or whatever it was. It wasn't a shadow image. It wa, it was in my mind. I felt the energy. I felt the angst of it. It wasn't a human and it just, you know, it was like, almost like, you know, that third eye that, you know? You talk about that third eye shocker opening up and I felt it. So I did, I staged my house and I opened my door and I said, y'all can go now.

• 1:12:01Brittany Broski?

  Y'all go on, get.

• 1:12:02Speaker 03

  Y'all go on now, get, get.

• 1:12:05Brittany Broski?

  Y'all have got to stop doing psychedelics together. I mean it.

• 1:12:10Speaker 03

  And I never felt them again. So, you know, it's what you want to believe, you know, you're either that or you know, you, you could just certify yourself as cray cray. So, either way, you know.

• 1:12:23Brittany Broski?

  Alright.

• 1:12:23Speaker 03

  It's all good stuff.

• 1:12:25Brittany Broski?

  Bye. She's an insane woman.

• 1:12:56Brittany Broski?

  I love her. She is crazy. But you have to be a little crazy to be able to talk about this shit. You know what I mean? To even have an open mind of like, what the hell? There has to be other realms. There has to be more than just this. I don't know. Who's to say? Who's to say? Anyway, this, this, uh, let's finish this story and then I'll, I'll continue on. Okay, so Aunt Connie, and she almost got named after her or whatever, and then she started being haunted after that. The scariest thing that has ever happened to me were from when I was a moody fifteen to eighteen year old girl. That seemed to really energize my surroundings and lots of scary things happened. I saw people, heard my name whispered in my ear at night.

• 1:13:40Brittany Broski?

  I heard footsteps. I heard a voice mimic my father's and walk around the kitchen. That one convinced me that we were broken into and I stayed outside until my boyfriend came to get me. Of course, nobody there. My brother moved back into the family house after college and confirmed he also heard a voice mimic our fathers and walk around the ki- Ah! It was gonna chill!

• 1:14:02Brittany Broski?

  He didn't offer this info. I had to pull it out of him over dinner years later. We independently experienced this and did no, no. In college, I saw a girl standing over my roommate's bed in the middle of the night. I'm itching. I woke up the next day and was like, hey, who was that? Roomie was like, oh, hell no. She and I still talk about it today. We were on a sorority hall at the time, so I dismissed it initially. It only hit me later that I didn't recognize her or see her legs. The other weirdest thing in college, you have chosen my fucking body. The other weirdest thing in college was someone kept getting into bed next to me. Never touched me, but the mattress went down with their weight. That one spooked me. Okay, I'm actually good on Reddit for right now. Thank you guys so much.

• 1:14:45Brittany Broski?
