Good Lord. in my family good Lord

Merry Christmas Eve what a Tosh show gift this is I'm here burning the midnight owl Owl oil. Midnight owl. Burning the midnight owl. Owl. Oil. Midnight owl. Don't burn an owl. Burning the midnight oil. Here I am giving you guys a special Christmas treat. How you doing, Daniel? Ooh, Ed, if I'm going to be honest with you, not good. What happened? Not good.

No, no. There was a murder in my family. Good Lord. Now you know, when we started this podcast, the one thing I said I didn't wanna do was a true crime podcast. Right. Well guess what?

Here we are. We have to do a true crime podcast because of the murder that happened in my family. because of the murder that happened in my family. Now, as most of you know, last week I took the family to Maui for a week. Day one, soon as I get there, I get a call from my wife's cousin, Panda, as we call her, who's watching over my flock. That's all my pets

That's the dogs the pig the chickens. I get a call and she's uh, she's not doing well and I'm like what's going on and She's like they killed Betty. I'm like, oh no Who killed Betty? She's like, I don't know There was there was a bird eating Betty when I pulled up. This is my black chicken. Oh black Betty Blam blam. Thank you right on cue And now let me tell you something about my chickens. Uh, you know, they're all they're all chickens Not a rooster in the bunch they've been producing eggs for me for a good four and a half years.

Uh, they're showgirls. That's a, in the silky family, they have a, uh, basically kind of a bald neck. They look like vultures and then they have, uh, a big hair on the top of their head. So they look like a Vegas showgirl. Hence the name. Uh, I've grown attached to them. I did not buy them. My wife did.

Then she got pregnant and she's the very first thing when she got pregnant was like, oh, it says you can't go near a chicken coop. Oh, oh, I have to take care of them now. I have to do everything. Great. Anyway, so you feed any living thing for five years, you develop some form of attachment. But anyway, so one of my chickens was killed. They run free every day all day and I have neighbors that have had chickens

that killed by a coyotes and you know hundreds of other things, but mine have survived every day all day, tons of coverage, no coyotes have ever breached the area of the yard that they live in. And so I obviously was feeling cocky, I guess. But day one of me being gone, one of them is killed. It's under someone else's watch per usual. For some reason, things just don't happen when I'm around. And I'm not saying that I'm more observant or a better guardian, but the truth is in

my record. Zero deaths under my watch. Everybody else, things die. Now, I don't believe her story for one second. She's like, I was only gone six minutes or whatever the fucking lie she was. So I immediately like, I got to figure this out. Now Betty, Black Betty, is black and then I have two other chickens Hazel and Katie. All named after our dead grandmothers. That's neither here nor there. Hazel and Katie are named after my grandparents. Uh, they're white.

And if you know anything about chickens, if one chicken is introduced, uh, that looks different or whatever, a lot of times they are chickens will just kill it. It's very much like prison rules. You know, oh, there's, there's somebody new here. Let's just fucking kill her. But I've always noticed that, you know, one will get broody, you know, means they stay in the coop way longer, sometimes days, weeks at a time.

And I don't wanna get into that, but whatever. The white ones have always stuck together and the black one has kinda done her own thing, but they do play occasionally and sometimes it's rougher than I like. So I started to have my suspicions of what happened that maybe she was sick and the other two just had enough of her and took her out and then when she was dead a bird came and was pecking at her when Panda pulled up to the scene. Now this is where

I'm starting to have some sympathy for for police officers because that's the first mistake you make in an investigation Okay Is you have this hunch? And and now you're not open to other things you need to let the evidence lead you right, right? Yeah, okay. Well, that was my first mistake. I was all in on this. You're trying to prove your theory. Yeah I'm trying to prove my own theory. So I'm going through all the video and here's the thing I'm just I'm just like these these white chickens. I just don't trust them

They kind of know where the blind spots and the cameras are. Oh, they're there They're there. I feel like they're doing shady stuff because I'm having to jump from one camera to another. I'm having to call my AV guy, John. I'm saying, hey John, the dates aren't syncing up with the cameras for whatever reason. So now I'm like, each camera I'm having to watch at a different, you know, day of the week, which is actually the same date.

That don't even give me, that's John, he's just ripping me off. Whatever, I'm going through hours of footage. Meanwhile, I'm in Maui, I'm supposed to be enjoying my family. Right. Instead, I'm trying to solve the murder of Black Betty. Blamadam. Okay, finally I get the videos synced up, and I'm watching, and now I've got it on the day,

and I'm watching things unfold Okay, and every time Betty comes out of the coop The white ones are immediately on her chasing her around the driveway And I'm like I've I've this is it is a slam dunk I'm gonna get this evidence in front of a judge and it's a no-brainer. Hmm The next thing I'm trying to process is how do I continue to feed and love my alive white chickens after knowing that they brutally murdered their black sister? You see that? Yeah.

What do you do? Do you just turn a blind chicken eye to that? I don't know much about chickens. I don't know! I can't even stomach it. And I'm gonna be honest with you. I didn't cry. I wasn't crying. It's not like losing a dog.

But it was very sad. Okay. Well then, every time Betty gets away from them, she goes back into the coop and I'm like, just stay there. Even though I know the outcome. I know where her body is going to end up. But when she, every time she goes back, I'm like, just stay back in there. I'm watching the footage on my phone, just scrolling through it.

Then they're playing in an area in the front by the front door, all three of them together. And out of nowhere, a hawk comes flying in and attacks. They all scramble, but they're still in this front area, tons of coverage of trees and stuff. And the hawk comes back out and perches on a two foot high rock right in front of it, just saying, well, I'm not going anywhere. And I'm just yelling at the chickens,

just stay hidden in that back area. You've survived the first attack. And then Hazel makes a run for it. That's the white one. And Betty follows right behind her. And the hawk's like, nah, number two, you're done. Man. Hits her, drags her out,

and then just starts going to town on her. I'm not gonna show the video because it is my pet, and I loved her, I guess, as a pet. She gave me breakfast for four years. I saved her last egg that she laid. And I'm gonna, I don't know if I'm gonna take it to a rooster and see if they can impregnate it. I don't know if that ship has sailed.

I don't know how it works. But then I could have a new, you know, a child from her. Sit on the egg, try to hatch it. What came first? Okay, nevermind. My pet's being eaten by this hawk and then 37 minutes later, that's how long, until Panda pulls up and scares the hawk away.

So that's why my chicken was killed. And by the way, I was like, well, she's like, what do you want me to do with the chicken? I'm like, it's trash day. I think you just have to bag it and put it in the trash can, right? Yeah. Well, she just called her boyfriend and he did.

And then I come home a week later and there's still bloodstain with feathers sticking out of my driveway. I'm like, oh yeah, we didn't even do a good job of picking it up. So now I'm gonna hire somebody, because I'm not very good, to do a cute chicken chalk outline, you know. Well, it's better than putting flowers in the middle of your driveway like a little memorial. People are gonna run over that all the time. It was horrible. It was tough, guys.

You gonna get another one? No I don't know. I don't know if that would upset the ghost of Black Betty. Now do I believe in chicken ghosts? Now that's a question that nobody has ever asked me. And the answer is of course. Of course I believe in chicken ghosts. By the way that question as dumb or meaningless as it is, the first time we asked it, we didn't really plan on asking it every single episode, but here we are, option two.

I'm still asking everybody I sit across from, do you believe in ghosts? And it's amazing how many people can look you dead in the eye and be like, I do believe in ghosts. Enjoy. What's up, y'all? So on a recent episode of Quest Love Supreme, my co-hosts, I'm P. Bill and Sugar Steve and I

First question I ask all my guests, do you believe in ghosts? No. Okay. Jesus Christ. First question I ask all my guests, do you believe in ghosts? No. Okay, Jesus Christ, that took you so long. You're a doctor for God's sake.

First, we'll start with this typical, do you believe in ghosts? Maybe. Do you believe in ghosts? This question, man. Why do you ask everybody this question? Wanna know if I'm talking to an idiot or not. So you fully don't believe.

You don't get the... I don't, but I didn't mean to say that. I firmly believe in them because I can feel them. Okay. Lots. I've maybe felt them in like 15 different places. That is a baby that you're feeling. No, bro.

I was not pregnant. Tony, do you believe in ghosts? Absolutely. God damn it. Well, do you believe in ghosts? Absolutely. Oh, god damn it. Well, only because I've had very close friends experience them in their homes. But you've never experienced it? Ashtray, Ashtray, on a mantle, slid off,

came down and shattered in a billion pieces. We live in California, stuff falls constantly. Oh, well, all right. Maybe my friends are full of shit. I have to get new friends. But has anything ever happened to you where you're like, this is obviously a ghost? No, no. See? Well, all right. Maybe my friends are full of shit. I have to get new friends. But has anything ever happened to you where you're like, this is obviously a ghost? No. See?

No. Well, all right. Do you believe in ghosts? Yes. Yeah, I mean, I haven't seen one, but I know they're there. How do you know? I feel it. I see shadows.

I see shadows. Those are real. I don't know if those are blips in my eyes or if that's a fucking ghost, but I feel like there's ghosts. Do you believe in ghosts, Danielle? Yes, I actually believe my house is haunted by my great-grandmother.

Did your great-grandmother ever live in this house? Yes. Oh, that's... And my grandma, and we've had two grandmas pass away in that house. I've heard things, seen things where I was a skeptic until you see things and hear things you cannot explain. Well, what did you see?

I have seen like a shadowy figure go through the house multiple times. So he's all shadow. Yes, but I had a- Not the actual figure itself. No, but I've had like a remote fly across the room. A remote control? Mm-hmm, for like a TV.

I mean, I feel like this is the hard evidence I was looking for. My name has been called once, and I realized I was in the house by myself, but I responded, I was like, yeah, and then I froze. I've done that though, maybe you like half fell asleep and you just like heard. I was vacuuming. Oh, you vacuum in your sleep?

All the time, it's the only time I can get things done. Do you believe in ghosts? No. See, let me tell you something right now. This is why I know that you're like a normal human. That's the only answer. Anytime I talk to people and they say that they believe in ghosts,

I'm like, oh, I'm getting ready to have a conversation with an absolute fucking lunatic. Do you believe in ghosts? No. That's right. No, don't say anything else. Just shut the fuck up. You don't believe in ghosts.

Right, exactly. I knew, and to be honest with you, when I asked you that question right there, I wasn't sure how you were gonna answer it. But then as soon as you said no, I was like, good, thank God. Do you believe in ghosts? Yes.

Yes, I do. I can't disprove it, and I had once incident in the Langham Hotel, where there was a butler. Our room came with a butler, and my dad and my mom were in the Langham Hotel where there was a butler. Our room came with a butler and my dad and my mom were in the next room and they were asleep and I was looking at the door, I'm eating my room service and the door just closes and I run to the door

and long story short, I won't explain the context, I'm sure it was a ghost. But that's it, from that moment you're like, well ghosts are real because of this moment of one door that swung closed or opened. Which was it, open or closed? It was slightly open.

It was slightly opened and it closed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that man just did a draft, something came through. It was a ghost, man. Because, so that hotel, I don't know if it's still called the Langham, it was an old hospital. Yeah, old, that's a key word in this because old stuff, always things happen.

Do you believe in ghosts? No. Of course I don't. Why not? I don't know because I just don't. Chandler, do you believe in ghosts? No. Okay.

I don't. Do you? Me? Yeah. Oh yes. Big into ghosts. Do you? Me? Yeah. Oh, yes. Big into ghosts. Do you believe in ghosts? Absolutely. Interesting.

Alligator Jesus believes in ghosts. You know, I went to the Quad Cities and I had like close encounters with ghosts and stuff. And if it weren't for like those kind of situations I was put in, they're like, I'm a scientific brain kind of guy. I can't explain those things. Is it drug related at all? Not at all, I'm sober as hell. Let me start with my first question.

Do you believe in ghosts? No. How about Bigfoot? You spent a lot of time in national parks? I've looked extensively, I haven't found him. Do you believe in ghosts? I heard that was a question coming, so I would like you to find ghosts for me first.

Well, I'm a scientist, so I'm trying to figure out exactly where we're going on this actual question here. You know, souls. Humans after death. That's a good question. So personally, I have not experienced that. However, we had an incident at the house, which is a couple of cases where it was interesting, I'll put it that way. My daughter, who is probably this time, being around like four, it was the first time, comes down one morning and says,

Uncle Jeff talked to me last night. And he had this whole conversation, he tells us in great detail about what happened. We get the phone call then a couple hours later, he died that night. Right, Exactly. Like, whoa, okay. Two years later, it happens again. How old was she? About four or five-ish. Two years later. You got to get rid of that kid. Well, she's like 35 now. I know, but I'm just at four. You had your chance. It happens again. Uh-huh. With her great grandmother. Same thing. And

then the great grandmother was passed away? Yeah, passed away also. How far after the conversation? Like that night, I mean that night again. Your daughter's a murderer. I know. With her mind. Yes, exactly.

I just hope she never has a dream where she's talking to you. You're like, oh no, the clock is ticking. Exactly. Do you believe in ghosts? I think I do, yeah. I know you do. Yes, okay. Well, I know you do because one time

You told me that you when you were staying in the MIMA cabin You said that you felt felt her she came in the first night you said there was a breeze or something came over She did because you had the windows open and it couldn't possibly be a breeze And she loved so I'm pretty sure that was her so it be a breeze. Uh-huh, and she loved the... So I'm pretty sure that was her. So it was a ghost. Yeah, I think it was mom saying hi. Do you believe in ghosts?

No. I respect that. Do you believe in ghosts? Absolutely not. And I want to go on record and make sure that everybody knows, no, I do not believe in ghosts, not one bit. However, I am absolutely terrified of them. Ah, that's the right answer.

Thank you. Ha ha ha ha. Do you believe in ghosts? Oh yes. I saw one as a child. Oh did you? For sure. Yes, at my grandma and great aunt's house,

I was downstairs and he passed away in this room, my great aunt's house. I was downstairs and he passed away in this room, my great aunt's husband, and I woke up and literally screamed because I saw this whole floating ghost-like thing coming towards me. Wait, wait, you said you woke up. Well, I was awake and I saw this thing coming towards me. I screamed, would not go back in the room. My dad slept there the next night.

I saw the same thing. Do you believe in ghosts? I do not. Okay. But real quick. Oh, fuck. I'm shocked that most comics say that the comedy store is haunted

and they've always had these experiences. I don't get it. Nothing's haunted and the comedy store is just dirty. That's just the sound of semen sticking to your feet as you walk through. Do you believe in ghosts? Yes. Okay. Yeah. Do you?

No. I believe in ghosts. Yeah, why not? I know why you believe in ghosts because you lived in Hawaii where all you guys are bat shit crazy. Do you believe in ghosts? No, maybe, I don't know.

I'm from a very old part of the country, so. Do you believe in ghosts? No, maybe, I don't know. I'm from a very old part of the country, so. Do you believe in ghosts? Absolutely not. No. Yes you do. No, I'm not stupid. There's no such thing as fucking ghosts. What about the Holy Ghost? You already know where I stand on that, no.

Oh, you don't believe in that? I thought your Italian roots would trump that. Which is ironic, but no. Do you believe in ghosts? Yes, I would say I do believe in ghosts. Honestly, gun to your head, you believe in ghosts. Yes, I do believe in ghosts. Really? Yes, I do. I've felt them tickle my feet at night when I'm joking. No, you don't believe in ghosts. Yes, I do. No, I do. You really do. Ghost spirits, I don't know if it's ghosts or spirits. It's nothing. Something that's like floating around us. No, there's nothing. That we can't see, but we feel.

We don't feel anything. Right? Don't you feel something? No, never. All the stories and everything. I could care less about the stories. Couldn't care less. Do you believe in ghosts? No.

Do you? No. I'm supposed to ask this with my first question to all my guests, but for you, it's been my 50th question, only because I know the answer. Do you believe in ghosts? Absolutely. I feel like I can skip my normal first question

that I ask all my guests. Check, you believe in ghosts. I mean, what do you mean by ghost? I don't know. That's just a question I always ask everybody. Do you believe in ghosts? Like mean, what do you mean by ghost? I don't know. That's just a question I always ask everybody. Do you believe in ghosts? Like the white little Casper thing? No, but do I believe that we can connect with spirits,

love our animals? 60% of my work? Got it, crazy. Do you believe in ghosts? Sure. I like no follow-up to an indifferent sure. Sure, why not? You ever seen a ghost?

I don't think so. You ever felt one? No, I was doing inventory late at night once and all the wine glasses started moving around and one of the doors opened. So I just went out there, I was like, I'm scared of everything, please leave me alone. And then they did.

Do you believe in ghosts? No. Okay, no. Do you believe in ghosts? No. Okay, no. Do you believe in ghosts? You know, it's debatable, you know? No, it's not. Well, if I'm at my family house, I do believe in ghosts.

Anywhere else, yeah, it's not. No, you don't believe in ghosts is the answer. All right, good, thank goodness. Do you believe in ghosts? The famous question, I do not. Okay, do you believe in ghosts? Um, the famous question. I do not. Okay. Do you believe in ghosts? Yeah, it does surprise me with that one, huh? That was my first question.

Your first question? Always my first question. That wasn't your first question. Yes, it was. I, uh, know what I'm supposed to say here. No, you don't. You're supposed to say, you're supposed to speak your truth. Okay, now I have to choose between being authentic and being liked by the host.

Uh, so yeah, I believe in ghosts. ...... Okay, now I have to choose between being authentic and being liked by the host. So yeah, I believe in ghosts And do you have you ever experienced ghost I Have in I've never seen an apparition of a ghost, but I've had really freaky things happen Okay and I have friends who have like seen and they swear to God like and these people would take it to their grave. You hang out with a bunch of degenerates. That's true, but it doesn't invalidate their ability to have seen a ghost.

Okay. You don't ever feel some weird shit when you walk in a room? Yeah. Okay, so that's just energy and ghosts are just resonating energy. No, it's not. Do you believe in gay ghosts?

Oh gosh, gay ghosts? No, just ghosts. I don't believe in ghosts really. I know no No, I wish I did but I don't mean you wish you you but basically what you said to me is I wish I was stupid But I'm not stupid. I'm smart. I kind of do wish that sometimes Don't you wish that oh that you didn't know the things that you know that you have to know? No, I'm okay that you didn't know the things that you know, that you have to know? No, I'm okay with it. Do you believe in ghosts, John? I'm ghost agnostic.

Evidence isn't there. Do you believe in ghosts, Ivan? Ghost agnostic. I'd like to. Sure, we'd all like to. Be pretty cool. It'd be amazing. Best day ever.

The day I see a ghost is the day I change my life completely. Cause you're like well against them, right? You think it's foolish to. No, I'm like, all right, that was. Because you're like well against them, right? You're like, you think it's foolish to. No, I don't, I feel like that's too, I'm fine with other people believing them. Yeah. I don't believe them because it's like,

yeah, it's not real. Yeah. Do you believe in ghosts? Ooh, ghosts of previous relationships maybe. But that's the only type? Yeah. You don't believe in ghosts then? No. That's a no.

What about skeletons in people's closets? Metaphorically, sure. Sure. Do you believe in ghosts? I knew. That's a no. What about skeletons in people's closets? Metaphorically, sure. Sure. Do you believe in ghosts? I knew this question was coming and still it hits me. The answer is gonna be no. Okay. But only because I'm thinking of like the Alec Baldwin,

Gina Davis version, like bedsheets. Yeah, that reference is hitting you or not. But that version's no, but I think there's some like spiritual something going on. So I'm gonna put you down for you believe in ghosts. We'll see. Do you believe in ghosts. We'll see. Do you believe in ghosts? Yes.

Absolutely. What do you mean absolutely? I believe in ghosts. What about pet ghosts? Of course. So everything has a spirit? Everything has a spirit if the spirit has a reason to stay around.

Oh, so there's conditions. Sure. If you don't have unfinished business, then you're just gone? Yeah, you go off, do whatever else you do. But if you have unfinished business or there's another lesson to learn, you stay around. Until you learn it? Sure. Horseshit.

I gotta learn stuff after I die? There's no chance I die and I've finished everything that I needed to do. Yes, that's why you get more chances. Well, that's really convenient. Yeah. Do you believe in ghosts? Oh, man. It's funny. I just was in Sacramento and my friend has a ghost hunting app.

And she's single? No. Oh. No. There's someone for everyone. There's someone for everyone. So I don't know. I believe in energy. Like, I think we're all energy. Sorry if I doze off. No, it's okay. But I don't know, I believe in energy. Like I think we're all energy.

Sorry if I doze off. No, it's okay. But I don't know, like I've never had a ghost experience. But this friend of mine that has the ghost hunting app. They have an app, so that's. No, but she got the app because she had this experience in Scotland in an old inn where there was like the sound of like someone jumping on the bed

and this like, and a child giggle. Oh, you don't like, I never liked ghosts with kids. That's always. It feels a little freaky. Janelle, do you believe in ghosts? I have no opinions about ghosts, strong opinions about aliens. Oh, interesting.

Wild card, right? Where are you at on aliens? They're here. They're here already? I think they're here. Oh, that's cool. Yeah,? Where are you at on aliens? They're here. They're here already? I think they're here. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, no, I haven't even thought to discuss the topic of aliens.

Do you believe in ghosts? You know, I want to believe in ghosts and I feel like I should believe in ghosts, but no, I don't believe in ghosts. Because you've seen behind the curtain too much. Exactly. Ah, that's a shame. I really wanted you to believe in ghosts.

Do you believe in ghosts? Absolutely. You absolutely believe in ghosts and while working at the Roosevelt Hotel, you believe you saw the ghost of Marilyn Monroe, true or false? True. And you tried to hit on her.

Gosh, that's true. Do you believe in ghosts? Yes. Absolutely. Absolutely. I had an apartment in West Hollywood and I just moved in there and my microwave turned on. No, I don't give a fuck. You don't want to hear this story? No, I don't want to hear this story. Oh, I just proclaimed for them to go away and it was fine. Anybody that believes in ghosts, that's all I need to hear the story. Oh, I just proclaimed for them to go away and it was fine. Anybody that believes in ghosts, that's all I need to know about them.

I've never seen one, I do not want to see one. Do you believe in ghosts? 100%. I don't know. It's like I have two sides of my brain that one side can believe something or see something that's kind of unexplainable and then the other side that's like, there's no possible way that that is possible.

Could you give me one example of something that you've seen that's unexplainable? Okay, I'll tell you a quick story. So when my boyfriend and I first started dating, there was a lot of weird things happening around the house, you know, like just very strange lights turning off, that kind of thing, which, okay, you can explain why. But there was this one incident that happened.

We were sitting across from each other, we were in the tub, we were taking a bath. I know, it's fine, we had our clothes on. Pornographic. No. We were sitting across from each other and he was drinking a glass of wine, and as we were talking, I see this like misty shadow hand

kind of reach across his face. And I saw the fingertips of this like misty dark hand grab the top of the wine glass like that and then you just hear crack, crack, crack. And then he grabs the wine glass and he picks it up and reaches for the top of the rim of the glass and just pulls it off. Like it was laser cut off of the wine glass.

I have pictures of this I can show you. Because I've told everybody this story to try and debunk it. Like how did that happen? I hear, I mean if you want me to, it didn't happen, you're nuts. I imagined the whole thing, okay. I mean you buy you want me to, it didn't happen, you're nuts. I imagined the whole thing, okay. I mean, you buy shitty wine glasses could be another explanation.

That's true, maybe. Do you believe in ghosts? Yes. Good. Thanks. Finally, now, convince me. I mean, how can they not be? What happens after somebody dies but isn't ready to go to the beyond?

It's just human souls that are the ghosts. I think so. Okay. Yeah. Have you ever had an interaction with a ghost? Oh man, kind of. Oh, you want me to tell you? Yeah, I do.

Okay, so. Unless it's hard to believe. Well, it's probably gonna be hard to believe. Okay. But my mom passed and I was in my late 20s, and the night that she passed, my dad was trying to get all the things together that were gonna go inside her coffin. I know this is like a sad story.

So he's like, putting all this, she had a whole list. She knew she was dying, so we planned this out. So anyway, he's like putting everything together because he doesn't wanna forget it, and he couldn't find this broken Yadro. Do you know what a Yadro is? I don't. Okay, it's a very expensive statue.

It was like the first very expensive present I gave my mother when I was younger. So I broke it. In good old kid fashion, I elbowed it, it fell. So the broken one my mom wanted to be buried with, and he just couldn't find it. So later that night, I kind of had a dream that someone sat on the edge of my bed, and I like woke up, and there was a figure, but I didn't quite see it, and it told me where the Yadro was.

The next morning, I woke up, and I said to my dad, I kind of think I saw Mom last night, and she said the Yadro is in one of the kitchen cabinets. And sure enough, it was in a kitchen cabinet. I mean, okay, it's a heartwarming story, and I'm not gonna discredit it. I just wish she would have been more specific than one of the cabinets.

Right, yeah. Do you believe in ghosts? I absolutely believe in ghosts. Okay, so I don't know how much background checking you did, but I... Not much. Okay, good. I used to live in San Francisco, and I lived in an artist commune with 23 other people,

and it was located in an old converted nunnery. So where nuns lived, where they ate, they drank, they probably died. Masturbated? Most likely, yeah. There were odd scenes everywhere. God, that's a hot thought. You think they do? Absolutely. Really? Yeah, I think so.

I bet they don't. I don't think they do it with their hands. I'm sure they just like sit on a really rigid chair or something. Like just grind it on the side. Yeah, that's more holy. That's more of a Christian thing. Tell me, so that all these nun spirits were in your building. Oh, okay. So I used to have a room that was next to the old chapel,

which was like really small, really cold, San Francisco, no one believes in central heating or anything like that. One night I was alone in the space and books started flying off the shelf straight at me, straight at me, I swear to God. And one of them happened to be a Bible. I mean, if that doesn't scare you straight, nothing will. Do you believe in ghosts?

Yes. You ever seen a ghost? I felt ghosts. I haven't seen one before. Have you always believed in ghosts, or did something happen you're like, now I believe? I think gradually over time, you hear the rumors as a child. But then as you grow older, you start to feel them.

You know, we're not alone. Can't be. I believe we're alone. Yeah. Well. What's up, y'all? So on a recent episode of Quest Love Supreme, my co-hosts, I'm P. Bill and Sugar Steve and I sat down with the king
