1. Swapping ghost stories with Billy Bob Thornton

[@spicymemes7458]

I heard Paul Giamatti had a podcast and I wasted no time!

[@grizzstephens7538]

Welcome 2 the wag

[@davispomo]

I was a little irritated I'm just finding out about this

[@NicoleThain-s6y]

I saw ur comment and I wasted no time

[@DWS205]

Mr. Giamatti, give us a bookshelf tour

[@mdog86]

How the hell did I not know Paul Giamatti has a paranormal and ufo podcast?? Literally just learned about it so I'm starting at the very beginning!

[@k.warner2423]

This is my first listen, I love it! Shimmering Blob and Falling Omelette both sound like fantastic band names. I feel like they would have to be Glam Rock.

[@lga9046]

It'd be cool to have a show that theorizes what Art Bell would have thought of all the crazy sh*t that's happened since he passed.

[@SavinoVeritas]

I've been lucid dreaming regularly for decades and more often than not in those dreams I choose -- like a member of a movie audience --- to just observe and see where the "story" is going. But, sometimes, I control events, like when a pianos was falling on my wife and I turned the piano into a butterfly saving my wife's life from a painful finale with discordant crescendo.

Great podcast!!

Thank you for sharing your experience around 11 minute. I had the same vividly vulnerable experience for about two weeks following my biggest loss to date, and the signs I caught during that time are not like anything I perceived ever before or after, which is how I know they were indeed meant to communicate something. and their direct connection to reality was unquestionable to me, while I'm usually fairly good at telling bogus made-up signs apart from those flashes of something real, which are very few and far-between.

I once had a job working as a care giver for a gentleman and was living at the house with him and his wife. One evening the topic of ghosts came up. They told me they both has seen a ghost in their house. This man was a devout Christian was grew up being told ghosts don't exist. He said he never believed in them until he saw one.

When I was 51 years old, my dad died. When that happened, I became precognitive. I'm still precognitive. I can't even begin to tell you the experiences I've had in the last 19 years. I have dreams, or I just receive messages that pops into my head. I can also make predictions. Nothing earth shattering. I just seem to be able to predict things before they happen. During the years from the time my dad passed and my mom passed, dad would come to me often in dreams to let me know what my mom was about to experience, and he would advise me when it was going to happen, how serious it was going to be, and whether or not I should take action. He gave me specific details. (Pretty weird.) Before my mom actually died, she came to me in a dream to thank me for my care, and to tell me she loves me. She also told me when she was going to pass, and that she was actually looking forward to it. (She had dementia. When I had the dream, she was only a shell and was completely uncommunicative.) Well, she passed almost to the day she said she was going to pass. The night she died, it was wild. I can't go into everything I experienced, but it was crazy. Not many dreams anymore telling me the future, but I have become very sensitive and intuitive. It's pretty interesting.

[@rumpstatefiasco]

Your experience is fascinating!

[@ronsmith8424]

Happy Birthday Paul ! Keep up the great work ! You are appreciated all over the world

[@carolinaom954]

I had the same thing happen to me when I was living in college dorms, a voice whispered something into my ear and I just can't remember what it said to me, all I remember is how it sounded absolutely evil.

[@chinwagpod]

😅😨

[@brittdarcy]

I would love to see more discussions of ghosts and ghostly encounters on this podcast! It is fascinating! You guys should have Jessica Chobot on the podcast; she would definitely have lots of great stories!

[@jaimeskuse]

This is great, loved hearing about your experiences.

[@chinwagpod]

So glad, more to come!

[@captainspaullding]

The very 1st inaugural episode..! Can't wait for the 2nd inaugural episode..! 🤓 This is terrific...I'm binging

[@greenwheelproductions1171]

Just learned about this podcast from Fly on the Wall! Starting from the beginning!

[@JJ-rb8sc]

My Nan, my Mom, my Aunt and I have "it". When my Mom and brother died, i had 2 extraordinary things happen to me with others involved. Amazing beautiful

[@4Sooners]

I like interesting, the book background, and the idea of being Billy bobs kid in Hollywood.

[@user-cg3gs2mj2s]

Love hearing you all share ghost stories! Please have more of this in future podcasts. Thx Paul😘 👻

[@benrosn8154]

What is an amazing podcast I love Paul Giamatti so much fantastic actor, one of the greatest ever

[@DenmarkL-j5v]

Did Billy Bob forget to pay his heating bill? He should do a go fund me.

[@PlayNiceFolks]

I fairly frequently have the "jump up high and float for a while before floating downward". But. Usually it involves me trying to hover away from hordes of nightmarish creatures. So, the floating back down part feels horrifying.

[@amydrake8262]

Your podcast is great fun! I have had similar experiences.

[@DocDarnell]

I just heard about this from your Seth Myers interview, Mr. Giamatti. I'm such a fan and so excited to catch this. And with Mr. Thornton guest... I'm over the moon! And definitely thank you, Dr. Asma!

[@SivoneyDance]

Very good stuff. Congratulations. You deserve more followers. Keep the paranormal talk. People love that 😅 I’d love an episode about cryptids.

[@chinwagpod]

thanks for the support @SivoneySalgado! we'll take the cryptids idea into consideration.

[@SivoneyDance]

@@chinwagpod yeiii I’ll be waiting 😑😅

[@JJ-rb8sc]

Just found your great podcast. Thank you very much for this interesting important content. Take care

[@katioconnor5295]

@16:16 ... My ex had a vivid colorful dream once about multi colored birds flying in the air with him... OK a flying dream, kinda normal... a few hours later we heard on the radio a flock of parrots had flown into a small airplane, feathers everywhere and forced a landing in a tropical area.... we were dumb founded and totally believe he witnessed the flight disaster while in a sleep state... interesting eh?

[@MrWalrusAnimation]

Great stuff! I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next episode!

[@chinwagpod]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@benrosn8154]

Billy bob Thornton is amazing

[@luigiriva6232]

Best podcast, greetings from Lugano, Switzerland.

[@chinwagpod]

Grüezi!

[@8656737s]

This was awesome! ❤

[@laszlovz]

I always thought of those little falling aliens in that star trek episode as ravioli but I like the omelette description too

[@Hoboslush]

Another fun episode thanks fellas

[@VIBEROCKS96]

Had that same float around dream a few times

[@YellowTroutLily]

My friend shared this theory on ghosts a while back, and I don't know if she was paraphrasing someone else but here goes: Ghosts are not conscious entities. The extreme electrical brain activity of someone experiencing fear/death/love etc has left an electric signature in the atmosphere, and the ghosts are more like reruns. So the former being isn't there doing the haunting, its just a shadow of their most extreme brain activity replaying in the spot where the activity happened. Hope I'm making sense (even if its not real). If you think about it, ghost stories revolve around the same ghost, in the same basic place, performing the same basic movements- Like Paul G's story about smelling the coffee at the writer's house, or Paul Revere's ghost galloping on his horse.

[@jonboatwright7777]

Super exciting episode. I have some friends in Copper Chicks in Zombie Town. Sorry I mentioned that.

[@Davett53]

I don't generally believe in ghosts, however I have experienced some unsettling phenomena. One time I was recalling the memory of a good friend who had died 4 years earlier. As his memory popped into my head, a light came on, outside of my house that was over my porch entrance. A light that wasn't on. It flashed on,...then a couple seconds later it shut off. With each new remembrance,...the light would turn on, for a few seconds. It wasn't a light I ever turned on. In fact I thought it was a non-working fixture. I was so startled and spooked by it. As I was remembering my friend, I was speaking my thoughts quietly out loud, to myself. I continued, and it occurred 2 more times. I was so frightened, I ran to well lit room and buried my face into my hands. At some point, a bit later, I fell asleep where I was sitting.

[@kimturco1324]

Love you Paul!

[@grizzstephens7538]

Chopper chick's 😂

damn it, i wanna gonna say that was me paul and I was typing it right before billy bib said it

[@danielchilders1337]

I think you have a merchant opportunity with “Shimmering Bob” Tshirts…

[@sarsington13]

Morphic Resonance can explain the actress name and your friend mentioning it out of thin air. Look into Rupert Sheldrake and his Morphic Resonance Theory!

[@christopherhamilton3621]

Sure… 😂

[@hhumh6911]

hallways are the freaking worst, man ☠ (~7th minute)

[@texannadeb5005]

I actually have seen a shimmering blob!😳😱

[@freebigbird]

Really now?

[@texannadeb5005]

@@freebigbird No, it was many years ago. My friend and I both saw it and, it wasn’t fleeting, it was there for at least 2 or 3 minutes. 🤷‍♀️

[@RustyCrawford-cc1zy]

Is it possible that there aren't any ghost at all, only demons? Do you get a warm, fuzzy feeling? When your relative appears in front of you or do you get upset? I believe that They talking about the Lawrence hotel. In Dallas on Houston street. Or either the Adolphus hotel. On commerce street

[@RustyCrawford-cc1zy]

Billy Bob Thornton in the past has worn an outfit that was given to him. By Paul Revere and the R AID ERS. Why didn't Billy Bob mentioned buying a house from SLASH The guitarist Of guns and roses and it being haunted also. Is it possible to be a liar?

[@balancepositivetherapy]

Don Juan was real and he was a Native but wasn't a Yaqui and Juan wasn't his birth name.

[@TexasGit]

I seriously hope that these guys don't actually believe in ghosts. What a joke.

[@Rockingruvin]

Perfectly good use of about 40 minutes.😁✌️
