The Activity Continues Collected Sounds Media

Despite the tech gremlins turning off AP’s camera, we managed to gab for almost an hour (don’t worry a lot was cut). Megan had to sit this one out, but Amy and AP had fun.
We tackled the very important question how many lip balms is too many lip balms? Please help us get to the bottom of this on our socials. Amy reminisced about Lip Smackers from the 1970s.
We spent a LOT of time talking about formatting documents for neuro-spicy brains. Spreadsheets might have come up. Quite a bit was cut from this discussion, but what was left in was done so in case it helps someone else not to feel alone. Brains are indeed weird. Heck, maybe this can be your sleep story this week.
AP shared a great cocktail hack. Let us know if you try it!
We discussed a couple of competition cooking shows we’re currently watching. There are spoilers if you’re not caught up with these.
So, grab your favorite Lip Smackers flavor, mix up a cocktail, and join us where… The Sideshow begins.
 
This is the conversation we had before recording episode 118. Be sure to listen to the episode of The Activity Continues that followed this discussion. We dissected The Dead Files “Never Alone” (Season 2 Episode 11 or 9) and that episode will be released on August 1, 2024.

We also talked about ADHD testing, sleep apnea tests, we learned what a Curandero is, and were reminded…sometimes what you think is a dream, is not a dream.
We did talk for about 20 minutes before we officially started. To hear that come on over to our Patron or check our YouTube Channel.

Summary:
The hosts share their insights on the episode's plot, which includes the troubling experiences of Rebecca, the main subject, who is targeted by a shadow person and a demonic entity due to interactions with a Ouija board, primarily influenced by her boyfriend, Mike. They discuss various aspects of the case, including the impact of fracking near Rebecca's home, and historical context related to a deadly car crash and a brutal murder from the 1800s.
 
The hosts express skepticism towards Mike's role and his assertions. Throughout, they blend humor, serious analysis, and concern for the well-being of the individuals involved. The episode ends on a note of empathy for Rebecca's ongoing struggle against the malevolent forces haunting her.
 
Content Warning:
This episode is a little heavy. There is talk of suicide/suicidal thoughts, depression, murder, and sexual assault. There’s mention of recent loss of spouse so trigger warning for those who need it. Also, we swear.

This week we depart from our usual format of interviews and recaps, opting instead for a freewheeling chat about various topics. We reflect on the season's activities including personal anecdotes. We also share updates on our experiences with past podcast guests and episodes, discussing the impact of these stories on both the subjects involved and ourselves.
 
We also talked about our visit to Dustin Pari’s show 'Ghosts: Do You Believe?' and share thoughts on Ouija boards, among other paranormal topics. Throughout the episode, we engage with a mix of light-hearted banter and more serious reflections on the experiences shared with you!
