Speaker 1 (00:00):
On episode fifty five of the Mexican Ginger Podcast, we
talked about behind the scenes radio secrets, kids, seeing ghosts
in Fresno, Christmas lists, and more. All coming up next.
It's podcast time.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
It's the Strawberry And was that Mexican Ginger podcast not
suitable for a younger audience?

Speaker 1 (00:20):
He got me, So I brought that bottle down to
his office because I was gonna, yeah, now, yeah, I
brought it down to his office because I'm like, I'm
gonna leave it in his office. And then he got
a conversation with me, so I'm like, I can't do
it now. But rather than carry the bottle all the
way back here, it's like left it on somebody's desk.
I'm like, he won't see it. I'll just go back
tonight when like he's not in his office and I'll

(00:41):
leave it there. He's like, I found this. I've ruined
our I ruined our prank. So was that? And I
kept leaving these bottles of Kognak in one of our
sales manager's offices, and like we gave him, we gave.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Him at different bottles. It's not the same bottle We're
passing back and forth. I have like fifty of these
bottles in our office.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yeah so, and we're just.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Trying to sneak another one into his office to one
day it's going to be like all filled up. You
know what we should do?

Speaker 1 (01:07):
I ruined it. Sorry, we should.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Buy We should get like floating shelves or like a
book not floating shelves because that recall requires mounting. We
should get like bookshelves and put them up on his
back wall and just fill it with the bottles.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Oh so do the whole thing. So put the whole.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Shelf, like, put all the bottles.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
I'm with it in there. I'm fine with it.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
All right. This podcast is not intended for younger audiences.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Oh god, so weird because I'm so tired and the
sun is still out.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Yeah, it'd be like that. You know what I realized
the other I thought about something a couple of weeks
ago because Saint Patrick Day is coming up. For the
last two years, I've been the host and the MC
of the Sacramento St. Patrick's Day Parade, been like the
Grand Marshal, like the guy on the stage, Like they

(02:05):
didn't ask me to come back this year. I'm not
doing it.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Maybe it's because wasn't last year or the year where
you made fun of the boy with no hands.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
It was a woman, first off, and it was two
years ago, and I didn't make fun of her. I
was giving props because she was like a stunt woman
on a horse and I go, look, ma, no hands,
and she just somehow, somehow it happened to have like
a half of an arm. I didn't do it intentionally.
Last year was the year you're the fucking chances. Last

(02:37):
year was the year that like to fill the lulls
between all the floats, I'm like, hey, tweet me like
your leprechaonn jokes and I'll read them. And I think
that was a hit because I was getting a bunch
of like leprequn jokes being tweeted to me. So during
the parade when there was lulls between the floats, I'd
be like, hey, this the Leprechaun joke is coming in
from you know whatever. I thought it was fun. Don't

(03:00):
know why I didn't get on inbody back. I was
kind of waiting for that. Let me send a quick
text message to John and find out, ummm hey, I
just realized that I was not invited back to host
this year's Saint Patrick's Day Parade in Old sac Dot

(03:21):
dot dot, do you have any insight? Dot dot dot.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
It bothers me so much that that you voice to text,
like you could have just text, and then you talk
so slow because if I talked fast, like hey, I
have a question exclamation point, like just fucking text it,
but that.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Takes too long.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
No, it doesn't to me.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
It's easier to voice text it speaks well.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Because sometimes No, that's an old people thing.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Because sometimes it'll like then I gotta go back and misspell.
I gotta respell it because the AI didn't spell it right.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
That's very old of it.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
I like voice of texts.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
It really pisses me off. Really, Like if you're by yourself,
cool do it. But like when people are around and
you're just like, hey, okay, so this weekend dot dot dot,
it's like, motherfucker text it, Like there's other people in the.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Room, right, Why don't want you feeling like you're ignored.
It's like.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
You just said out loud, I'm gonna text John and
ask him why I'm not invited back this year. And
then I had to listen to you go, hey, question, Okay,
why wasn't I invited back?

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Like, all right, let's take votes. Why do you think
I wasn't invited back? Do you think they said, like
you know what, he wasn't working out.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
I don't know. Maybe they just have someone else. Maybe
they're just trying to like like spread the wealth and
they have someone else that they want to invite out.
They're like, we've had Strawberry twice. Let's fucking we got
mackelmore this year. Why the fuck would we ask Strawberry?

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Rea interesting? He read it. I want to see how
long it takes for hand. Tom respond, all right, well
we'll update you. Speaking of uh oh, I was gonna
have you grab snacks. I guess a hold off on this.
Speaking of text, did you want to go into the
AI thing or are you completely there's nothing to go into.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
I don't know why you're so obsessed with that, because
I've never wanted to bring it up on air. You
want to bring it up on the pot.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Like I've never heard week.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah, you can go into it. I don't have an
opinion on it.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Okay, I write this down. That is feisty today and
I'm so tired. He has no uh input on her AI.
She has AI that like summarizes her text messages and emails.
I thought that was pretty dope.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
I think it's in the Apple update, like I think
it just came with the new phone.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
I did the update. Oh the new phone I have,
the eighteen was eighteen three one. Uh oh, he said,
maybe I shouldn't read this out loud. Hold on, uh
I will ask, No, don't ask, Okay, seems like it
may be budgetary issues. Apparently they couldn't afford me.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Oh you were getting paid?

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Uh No, they couldn't afford to have me out there
for free?

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Got it?

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Hold on? Oh my god, we found him?

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Found who.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
I'm just gonna text back and not reply. I'm not
going to voice text, so you won't know.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Okay, doesn't bother me. Do you want to hear about
why everybody at the comedy club thanks to have a
big dick?

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yes? I thought my I thought my old roommate was dead,
and I think we found him. Sorry, is he alive?

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Sorry?

Speaker 1 (06:54):
I don't want to wrap. Go ahead, Okay, So I
want to have a big girl.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
So I was at Punchline last night. It was my
first time.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
There, right, Okay, And in Sacramento.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
In Sacramento, and we were taking You've been there, right,
You know how they have like their step and repeat
up in the front so like you can like they're
little wall banner things so that you can like go
take pictures or whatever, and the behind you it says
like punchline, punchline, punchline. So we went to we were like,

(07:30):
let's go take a picture over here. So we go
over there and the guy that was like hosting the
show that night or whatever was standing and he's like, oh,
you guys want me to take your pictures. I was like, oh, yeah, please,
So I handed my phone and then just because like
I joke this way, I was like, I was like,
don't look at any of my nudes. And then he
was like oh and then I was like just kidding,
their all dig pics and then and then he was

(07:52):
like oh, and then I was and then I thought
about it. I was like, but no mine, though they're
not mine. I was like, but no mine. And then
ten minutes later I was like leaving because I was
actually gonna leave, like the night was over. And then
I forget why why. We ended up walking back into
like where the front doors where we're walking back and

(08:13):
he was like, oh shit, it's the chick with the
big dick. And I was like, no, that's not what
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Don't tell people that.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
So no, I can never show my face there again.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Nice. So it was a Tino Cochino event, right? Was
that the same?

Speaker 3 (08:31):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Okay, Why did I think it was a Saturday?

Speaker 2 (08:33):
I thought it was Saturday too, So we got invited
to a few events this past weekend.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
I thought the fight with Blake, I thought that was
on Friday.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Oh my gosh, you're so off.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, and then I thought Tino's show was on Saturday.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Yeah, I thought Tino. Okay, go ahead, I'm gonna look
up Tino's text.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
But yeah, no, it was Sunday. But I had like
RDRs VP put my name on the list. I was like, fuck,
now I gotta go. I don't typically like leave my
house on Sundays. So that was a big jump for
meidd out into society.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Where's March ninth? Oh it was Sunday, yeah, he said
March ninth.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
I was.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
I was out of town anyway the whole weekend. I
just got back this morning. I would have made it,
but it was Sunday. That was Saturday. So who was
in the lineup?

Speaker 2 (09:17):
So I don't know who any of them were, but Tino.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Was one of the supporting comics, right, yeah, okay, but
it was a local dude headlining, you said, Sacramento guy.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, and it was like some His name was Kaylin
and he seems like really young and I think he
like worked at Dutch Bros. Half the place was filled
with Dutch Bros. Employees. So when even when we walked
up there and we were like, you know, giving them
our IDs and getting our little bracelest or whatever. The girls,
I think because we were like younger looking people, the

(09:48):
girl was like, are you guys with Dutch Bros. And
we didn't understand why she was asking at first, so
we were like no, yeah, and she was like, oh okay,
there I there's like hello Dutch Bros. People and they
were like okay, we didn't get it. It's because the
headliner it was like all his friends. Yeah, but it

(10:08):
was so fun.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
I love a comedy show, except there was one one
of the last ones I went to at the Santas Improv.
You know how comics will do a thing and like
you know that their show builds up, it builds up,
and they save like their grand finale joke till the end,
big applause, They go all right, everybody, good night. Yeah,
it was some famous guy. I don't want to don
I said, I don't want to say his name. I
think it was I don't want to say his name,

(10:32):
so I think I might get the comic wrong. But anyway,
I could tell he wasn't getting like that big ha laugh.
Because this guy was on stage for like almost an
hour and a half, which for comedy show is long.
So he was on stage and he's a famous guy.
He's an older comic, but he's a famous dude, and
he kept building to these big grand finale jokes and

(10:54):
he wasn't getting like the big roar he wanted, so
he wouldn't leave. He would keep all right, I got
another on that, and like he would keep resetting and
doing these big grand finale jokes, trying to get like
this huge send off, and he wasn't getting it, So
he wasn't leaving the stage. And I'm like, bro, just
say good night, just say good night.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
There was a couple people also that were just like like,
I was not I wasn't laughing like I didn't think
they were like super funny or that good. But because
I was sitting this place that I went to, it's
like a it's a comedy club. It's not big, And
where we sat was essentially like in the second row.

(11:39):
It was at a bunch of little tables and stuff.
But I was close enough to the stage to where
like if I they could see my face?

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Sure, so I wasn't.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
I didn't want to sit there just like straight face
I was. I was sitting there smiling because they would, like,
you know, they could see my face. I didn't want
to be rude.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
But.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
We got uh. So I went with Mia if you
guys know her, she's also on air with us. And
when Tino was was up on stage, he was like, oh,
we got any couples in here tonight, And I jokingly
was like, I grabbed me A's hand and I raised

(12:18):
it and tell me why our server came back to us?

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Uh huh, I think I have him in here, so
oh shoot.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
And gave me this. Thanks for being a loyal fan,

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Now, it's in a couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
That's hell of funny.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
But I was like, I was like, oh dope, he
gave us these free tickets. And then I'm looking around
and I was like, how come nobody else has these
free tickets?

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Get them right, lesbos on Table five, get them.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Bring him back here. But I was like, oh my god.
But low Key I told me. I was like, do
you want to go?

Speaker 1 (13:43):
And she was like, why not?

Speaker 2 (13:45):
I won't be mad at it. I was like, low
key me either, Like this place is kind of fun yeah,
and if it's like if it's funny, yeah, we're both
kind of like I never turned down a good comedy
show for sure, like fuck it, we'll go. But how
funny that?

Speaker 1 (14:01):
So Tino, Tino Coachino is also on radio. He and
I have talked a lot about Jock's radio personality, the
way shows are, the way people are, like like now
versus five years ago, versus ten years ago versus like
twenty like how radio is right? And so I was,

(14:23):
I was out of town last week, and I was
in Palm Springs, and I was with my future brother
in law psyched about that. And I think the only
radio station that came in was this country station. Right.
We happened to be listening to this country station on
Sunday coming home from golf, and that the radio guys
likes of the It's dived Dave and the big one

(14:45):
oh six Palm Springs country blah blah blah like coming up.
So I just happened to be listening to him. I go, okay, cool,
And then my future brother in law goes, hey, let
me ask you something. When you hear other people on
the radio, do you like analyze them? And and so
I stopped him like I was just doing it right now, yes,

(15:07):
And I was just doing it and he goes, I
always wonder that, and I'm like, I was listening to
that guy right there, and I was kind of picking apart,
like subconsciously, like I don't mean to do it. Yeah,
I was picking apart the things that I liked about
his It's called a break when you talk on Yeah,
the things I liked about it, the things I didn't like,

(15:27):
the things that he probably could have done better or
done different. And I'm like, I'm sitting there and I'm
listening to him talk and I was just doing that.
He's like, yeah, I've always wondered. I'm like, you caught me.
And then I kind of had to be like, you know,
it's kind of like anything you do at a high caliber,
whether you're a basketball player or a football player or
a comic continos and you see people do that and

(15:51):
you're like, you know what, I've done this a lot
more than you, or maybe at a higher level than you. Like,
I see what you're doing. I think you could just
change it up a little bit.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
They're super like critiquey, yeah, or you listen to it
and you go, I like how that sounded. I think
I'm gonna start doing it.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
I told him that too, Yeah, I told her, I said,
I said, and it's it's not always critical, but if
people ramble on too long. And I do the same
thing with podcasts, just because everybody with a microphone and
a laptop can be a podcaster, right, But there's certain
things that you learn after doing so many years in
radio and having so many people coach you and train
you and show you all the research of what listeners

(16:32):
like and don't like and habits and all this stuff.
So it's like like you two are talking over each other,
you're talking at the same time, or you're just repeating yourself,
or you won't get to the point. So, whether it's
podcasts or radio shows, like I pick up on things
that we have been that have been drilled into us,
like don't do this, done to this, So I said,
it's not always critical. Sometimes I'll hear somebody do something
really cool. I'm like, I like how they did that.

(16:55):
That's a great angle, or like, hey, when we give
out concert tickets, maybe I could do it the way.
That was really cool. But then I also do kind
of critique them, like oh, okay. It's not always critical,
but sometimes it's like, oh yeah, that wasn't that great.
That sucks, And I'm like, I wonder how many people
do it to us? Oh for sure? And I even

(17:15):
told them like, and sometimes if you're listening to like
a radio station that you would love to be on,
or in a city that you would love to be in,
and you hear someone sometimes it's just like, why that person,
I could do that? Like it sucks, but it's like
it's the competitive nature of our business. Yeah, and it's
like I could probably be I could probably do that better.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
I remember being told when I, like was very was
a baby in radio. I remember someone making a comment
like like, man, once you start radio, you will never
listen to radio the same again. And I didn't understand
because I'm like, like, what do you mean, Like, just
turn it on and it plays and you hear it.

(17:58):
Like I didn't get it. Yeah, now that it's been
seventeen years now, I say the same thing. I'm like, oh, man,
like I you can't have a radio on without me
sitting here and I'm like listening where normal people would
hear someone talking and like change it and turn it off.

(18:20):
I'm like, no, no, no, no, leave it.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
That's when you key in. You're keen in.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Now, yeah, I'm like, no, I want to hear like
how they do their show. Yes, I want to hear
what songs they're playing. I want to hear what, like
what golds they're playing. I want to hear they're imaging
like they're promos, Like it's.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
I pay attention. I pay attention to imaging. Also, I'm like, oh,
that's really cool. Like there was one I was so bad.
I was in la I forget when it was some
vacation years ago and I was listening to radio and
so what they do this is just some inside information.
It's called artist drops, when you have like, hey, this
is Drake, I'm listening to v one. On one point,

(19:00):
I want nobody do does that anymore well, because artists
don't that. We used to get those around visits when
artists would visit or when they had a new song,
because they would go into a studio and they would
just record like an hour's worth, Hey Cincinnati, you're listening
to so and so, or hey this is the beat
of Tucson, or like San Francisco's favorite station, and they
would they would MP three email those to the stations. Here,

(19:23):
I did a drop for you play my song.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
When for those of you listening to this podcast, and
this is something that you'll probably like notice now, because
I'm telling you, when you do hear those artists drops,
pay attention to how old it sounds.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
They sound a lot younger.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
It sounds so like, yo, yo, yo, what up? This
is Drizzy Drake And you're like, what he don't even
call himself that now, he's Champagne Poppy. He done went
through four growth spurts, like he's not Drizzy Drake anymore.
Just it sounds so dated.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
It's super It really does. Oh So I was in
LA and a lot of times they'll do that, Yo,
it is Drizzy Drake. And when I'm in LA, I'm
turning up to Real ninety two three, and so like
you would have this whole long artist drop. What this
station did. Let's just say it was real. They took
all that out and it was just Drake or fifty
cent or yg or whoever, and they would just say

(20:19):
Real ninety two three. That was the drop. You knew
their voice, you knew that was fifty Cent, you knew
that was Drake, you knew it was whoever. You could
tell by their voice, jay Z. And all they had
to do is say, was the station name real ninety
two three? And I'm like, but it is.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
Cool when they say your name for sure.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
But I'm like, that's really cool. So I came back.
I was working in San Francisco at the time. I'm like, Yo,
what if we just get these artists drops and just
only have them say the station identification, Like just say,
was that Wild? I was either Wild ninety for nine
or ninety ninety seven. Now, I'm like, just say that,
like I just heard him do in LA. It's so cool.
So like you were saying, like I tuned into imaging,
like oh that's really cool, or like that's too long,

(21:00):
or like that's trying to keep it too real, Like
come down, I.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Think this conversation is only interesting to us.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
I don't know if people listening care too much.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Oh yeah, I was wrapping up.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Okay, Yeah, I feel like we're going a little long
talking about what we pay attention to, and I don't think.
I'm like, I feel like people have no idea what
we're talking about.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Yeah, but that was my point. So he said, hey,
do you ever listen to other people? Part? Yes, I do.
What you did? You have something you know Okay, I'll
say that for the next podcast.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Okay, let's be in punchline tickets.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
I have a ghost story.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
If you want, I have a note in here food
app that'll ruin your game.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
It was my Yeah, I needed I needed snacks and
needed you to have snacks. I'm going to go down
to the you want to do it right now, just
go down to the Okay, we'll wait, we'll wait. Then
it's been this app has been screwing me up though,
all right, so here you go. So what we do
our afternoon show every now and then, we'll do something
called stop the Story, where I'll have I'll find a

(22:00):
story and I'll play a little piece of it, and
then if Lisette's bored, she'll just say, stop the story.
I'm done. I don't need to hear anymore. But if
it's interesting, then we'll keep going. We'll play it. So
this is a longer story, we'll kind of do something similar.
First off, do you believe like children when they're super young,

(22:21):
they can see.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
I was just having this conversation the other day.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
No, you weren't, Yes, you could, like they can see
what do you want to call it? Ghost spirits? Other
things that aren't there.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
I was having Yes, first of all, to answer your question, yes, okay, good.
I was having this conversation. I don't remember how it started,
but he was like, I've always been so intrigued by
those stories of kids dying in a past life and

(22:53):
then being like three years old and telling someone how
they died and then like the parents look it up,
and oh, he was talking about a kid who died
in nine to eleven, like like was a guy on
the plane because I was just watching documentaries. So we
were talking about nine to eleven and blah blah blah.
So I was and I was just like, I think

(23:13):
that's so interesting too, like I really believe that. And
conversation continues, and I'm telling him about how my dad
used to live in a haunted house, and I was like,
when my son was a baby there well before even
before I had him, and we had like animals, right,
we had pets. We had dogs and cats in that house,

(23:36):
and when they would be in the living room, they
would stare at the same corner in like the ceiling,
and they did it all the time whenever they were
in the living room, and with the cat, the dog
would just stare the cat sometimes would be following something
like with their eyes or their head or whatever, but

(23:56):
it was always the same, like vicinity of the living room,
that top upper right corner. Fast forward, my son's born,
and he's a baby, uh huh, young young enough to like,
you know, he couldn't talk or walk or crawl or anything,
but old enough to where he was starting to become aware. Sure,

(24:18):
he also would stare in that same corner and I'm like,
I don't know what's up there, but something's there.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I believe that too.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Because babies and animals can see shit.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yes, Okay, So with that in mind, here's a story
I got off the news local, too local enough. It
happened in Fresno, So here we go. Returned out to
a family vacation that took a strange turn in California.
They visited the same area where a missing woman was
last seen. Okay, you ready for this. They went to
an area I think it was a camping trip and

(24:49):
just so happened.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Intentionally, they like, oh okay.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Just so happens that was also a same area where
a woman went missing. Here you go.

Speaker 4 (24:55):
When the Gorba family went on a four wheeling trip
in the Sierra National Forest, three year old son Kayden
started talking to someone who wasn't there.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
What are you gonna do if your son just starts
having conversations like who are you talking?

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Calling the fuck back home?

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Yeah, he was just in our car and he was
pointing out to a certain spot in the meadow.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
In the car.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Yeah, and he's pointing out the window like over there,
over there, like look at that.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
The family was that shut Eye Peak about seventy miles
outside Fresno when they stopped for lunch. Mom Victoria says
Cayden told them there was a woman close by.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
I got goosebucks. He says, she needs our help.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
But she's dead, and she she's laying face down with
her legs up, and she can't.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Down with her legs up. Yeah, like they were broken
or something. I'm trying to like, what do you mean.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
I couldn't picture that too either, I don't know, face
down with her legs up, I don't know. I couldn't
get that.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
And she can't talk to me. But she's over there.
We need to go help her.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
So from the car, he's pointing out to a meadow.
He's like, there's a woman over there. She's dead, but
we got to help her.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Okay, keep going, Okay.

Speaker 4 (26:07):
Caden's parents checked out the meadow but saw nothing.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
He kept saying, trust me, trust me, Mom, And I
was like, I trust you, Bud. You know, I believe
you one hundred percent.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Three year old adamant that he's seeing somebody out there.
Adamant creeped out.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
The Gorbas said they headed back home. Caden's mom then
posted their experience on social media, and that's when the
Madera County Sheriff's Department reached out for more information.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Turns out a.

Speaker 4 (26:33):
Woman went missing just over a year ago, within five
miles of where they were. A woman with a black
shirt and blue hair.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Okay, how a black shirt is hair? How common would
that be someone disappearing with blue hair?

Speaker 3 (26:49):
Wait?

Speaker 2 (26:49):
Did the little boy mention blue hair? Did I miss
that part?

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Nope? You ready?

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Keith describes down to blue hair. He said, she has
a black shirt, blue jeans, and blue hair.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Mom detect to say.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
Cayden's description matched that of fifty three year old Sandra Hughes,
who went missing in June twenty twenty after going camping alone.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Same area, same description. Kid sees hey there's a dead woman.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
So did they find the body? They went to go.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Look, here we go.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
Cayden was able to identify three out of four pictures
of her. Detectives went back to the meadow with the
gorb of family to investigate and so far found nothing.
But the case remains open.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
That's the end of the story.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
No, there's the war.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
If she was possibly a ghost looking for some help,
I hope that he could have at least helped and
maybe helped the family.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
Shut find her.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah, shut forgot. I'm on the news talking about the
dead ghost you saw. Oh my god, that's freaky, freaky
because if your son goes, your three year old goes, hey,
there's someone over there, you go whatever, like no, wearing
a black shirt, has blue hair. The cops go, well,
here's yeah, that's her. That's her right there in the photos.

(28:03):
That's the one I saw.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
So they know she's dead apparently.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah, they just.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Need to find her body. Yeah, it's got to be
there somewhere.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Yeah, it's giving Gabby Potito like left in the wilderness
and the you know, out nowhere. Yeah, to die sucks.
Oh my, that's creepy though, right.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Yes, yes, but yeah, I do believe that kids can see.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Ghosts for sure?

Speaker 2 (28:39):
For sure, I always wonder like what I saw?

Speaker 1 (28:44):
I was just thinking that. I'm like, I gotta see.
I gotta talk to my mom to be like, hey,
when I was a kid, did I ever like have
an imaginary friend or like tell you like somebody was
like talking to me at night? Like did I ever
do that? And if so, like when did it stop?
Like why did you get me.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
To I never had an imaginary friend. I had sisters,
a real friends.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
I know you're three years old, yeah, but even then, I.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Still I still never had an imaginary friend.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
I didn't.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
We did have cricket, though, what's cricket that doll? The
cricket doll? Let me look, I think it's like from
the eighties, Like you should know cricket doll. It was
a doll that you put a little a little cassette
tape in her back.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Oh she was singh yah and.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
She was saying in her mouth would move and her
eyes wouldn't move.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
I remember cricket. Yeah, there's no reason to make dolls
so lifelike, Like we don't need that. Yeah, we don't
need lifelike ass dolls.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
I remember I used to put my finger in her mouth.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Yeah, why did you say? Why? Like what we trying
to get out of it?

Speaker 2 (29:52):
I just want to see if it hurt.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Oh okay, okay, okay, gotcha was trying to.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Get anything out of that?

Speaker 1 (29:59):
You know?

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Kids just do dumb, Yeah, for sure, like the cabbage
Remember the cabbage Patch kid? Yes, that would like you
could feed it and kids were putting their hair and
she was eating. She was like scalping babies.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Yeah, yeah, I was so stupid. I don't know why
I always think of this. There was there was some
like I think it was like a Christmas or something
was coming up, and obviously cabbage Patch was was the
hype was real. And then I'm like I was telling
my mom like I don't want a cabbage Patch Like
I don't want a cabbage Patch kid, Like it's lame,

(30:32):
that's dumb. I kind of did, but I didn't want to.
I didn't want to be like I don't know like
you know how like I don't know what it was like,
I don't want one. I totally don't want one. Who
would want one? Those are so stupid? They're dumb. Kind
of hoping that I would get one and I remember
that Christmas or whatever, everybody got one, my two sisters,
my younger brother. I was the only one who didn't

(30:52):
get a Cabbage Patch kid. And I was so like
mad but also hurt, but also like how stupid was I?
Like I wanted one? I did want one, but I
was telling my mom, like, they're so stupid, who would
want don't We don't know what.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
I was always put on my Christmas list. I don't
know why I wanted one so bad. When I was small,
I used to always put a cash register.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Those were fun. Heck, yeah, I think I.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
Just always like I wanted to play with one. Yeah,
Like if we would go to the store and I would,
I would thought it was so cool, Like they would
like press buttons and then they'd be like whoop, and
then it'd go to ching and it would open and
then you just take the money and then these slamme
it closed.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
I had a little scanner. I don't know what it was.
I always wanted a cash register.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
And then you worked there forever twenty one lived out
your dream.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
I did. It wasn't as great as I thought it
would be.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
No, it's normally not.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Yeah, but yeah, I remember always wanting a cash register.
And I remember, like me and my sister every year
for Christmas, we would like sit there and we'd be
watching Nickelodeon or Disney Channel or whatever whatever the kids
channels were that we're on, and you know the kids
channels have like the kid commercials. We would sit there

(32:04):
and be like that looks cool, and then we would
like write it down on our Christmas list and we
would go through the magazines. Yeah, and just like circle
things that we wanted. Like I used to have a
ball making my Christmas list.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Oh for sure.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
And now like my son doesn't understand the joy in it.
He just you know what kids do.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Now, I was gonna ask her, what does he do?
He Amazon wish list.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
No, he makes a list on his phone and notes, okay,
and then he shares it with us.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
Okay, it's kind of the same thing, just a digital
version of it.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
I feel like it's not the same. And then all
the stuff on his Christmas list is like dumb shit,
I want a new computer monitor. Like like, don't you
want clothes.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Or isn't there like nobody wants clothes. Kids never want clothes.
You don't want clothes? Clothes or what like Mom or
Grandma give you, Santa brings you the dope stuff, the Nintendo. Well,
so what I'm.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Saying like he has all those things? Yeah, like don't
you isn't there like a like a like a pair
of shoes that you saw that you really want, but
you would never dare ask because they're so expensive, Like
you know what I mean, like shit like that.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
I never asked for clothes. I didn't want clothes at all.
When I was a kid.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
I would always put clothes on my list only because
I knew that my mom would get.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
It it was coming.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
I used to ask for Nerve football every Christmas and
every birthday because there were six months apart my birthdays
in May, Christmas, December, so they're essentially because it was
just destroyed like you would just a Nerve football would
get destroyed. It's destroyed like a dog would take a
bite out of it, or you'd play with it when
it was raining, so it gets water logged, and Nerve
footballs would They didn't have a long shelf life.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
I can't relate.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
I used to keep them in business for the amount
of Nerve footballs we went through.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
I used to buy my son a bunch of a
lot of NERF guns and like every year he would
get like a new version of a NERF gun. There's
so many, there's so many different and kinds, and it's
really scary how like accurate.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
They are accurate as far as aim or like depiction.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Like depiction h And it's something that I would have
never like noticed had I not actually been to a
shooting range and like dealt with a real gun myself
and like loading, like it's the same thing.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
It's crazy. I'll go through Costco and they have NERF
guns or like little suction cup dark guns. There's times
like I just want to get this, Like I don't
know which one I want. I just want I want
to I.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
Want the one that that it has like the water beads,
you know I'm talking about. I want that one.

a bunch of NERF guns.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
I want a BB gun. I never had one.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
They're fine, but I don't know what to do with it.
Shoot little targets in your backyard or something. I don't
have to set up a little target in your own.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
Targets in my backyard are my cats?

Speaker 1 (35:06):
Well? You answer to your own question, right, I'm not.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
Shooting my cat.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
I don't want to get into this story. But I've
been trying to track down my old roommate for a
while and then my sister's an investigator, like by trade.
So I'm like, you know what, I did some googling.
I'm trying to find this guy. Here's kind of what
I found. Can you find out more? And like two

(35:34):
days later, she goes, I cannot find this dude, like
he he doesn't have any social media and here's his wife,
but the wife goes by the maiden name, and there's
no photos of him and so all this stuff. So
me and then this other buddy from college are trying
to like find this guy. And so when the fiance

(35:55):
was dropping me off today and I'm like, you know what,
I have a bad feeling that this guy's either no
longer with us or he's in jail or something, I'm like,
I don't know, because I haven't heard back. In the
research i've been doing, I can't find anything. I'm just
I'm worried. And I talked to the investigator sister. I'm like,
why is the wife using the maiden name? She goes,

(36:17):
I don't know, I'm like a little worried. Anyway. The
other college friend just texted me because I'm like, I
have two phone numbers that I found. I think one
might be the wife, So I'm gonna call. I'm gonna
call today when I get off work. So he's like,
I couldn't wait for you. I called, got a hold
of the wife, and the guy we're looking for, like
is out here still, Like I think I have his

(36:39):
phone number because she gave me his phone number, so
obviously he's alive. But he's like, I think I found him.
I'm like, oh, thank god, oh my god, for the.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
I can't wait to hear his explanation as to why
he's been wiped off the face of the earth.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Yeah I know, I know.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
Like assuming he's good, Yeah, I can't I wait for
you to be like, bro, what the fuck?

Speaker 3 (37:02):
I know?

Speaker 2 (37:04):
I know why he's so hard to find, super hard, Like.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
What very hard? I emailed him like I had his
old email. I looked up his name on Facebook, on Google,
on people Search, I typed his email and always, but
he's nowhere, Like he's uh, he's like John Wick. Can't
find him anywhere interesting off the grid anyway, So while
we were doing this podcast, I got a text from
my other buddy. He's like, here's his number. I just

(37:30):
let him a voicemail. His wife gave me the phone number.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
