🎵 Thank you. Hey, weirdos, I'm Ash. And I'm Elena.
I'm Terry Carnation, paramour of the paranormal.
Ooh, hello. And in case you didn't know, this is morbid.
But this is a very special morbid. This isn't like any other morbid you've heard.
It's... An immersive experience, if you will, I think.
Yeah, I think so, because today we have someone very special on.
I'd just like to introduce him real quick as beloved AM radio host, provocateur. world traveler, owner of a great set of gams, bon vivant, and philosopher of the paranormal, You guys know who we're talking about.
Terry Carnation, thank you so much for coming to the show today.
Morbid ladies, I thank you so much. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Of my sick, dark, twisted little heart. Thank you for having me on your... on your little show.
We love that heart of yours. You fit right in.
You do. We have those same exact hearts.
It is our honor to have you here. Excellent.
Good to be here. Good to be here. Hmm. Just in case any cat or anything pops in, my cats sometimes join the Zoom with us, but I wanted to know, is Malachi with you?
Malachi is not here. Unfortunately, I needed to.
We love Malachi. We're big fans of Malachi.
He's very special, but he was, well, frankly, Malachi has become possessed and was frenetically and frantically attacking me.
You know, it was only a matter of time. It truly was.
I had scratches up and down my back, so I had to leave him with my Aunt Connie.
With your Aunt Connie. We have questions about Connie, but we'll get to that.
Yeah, we're going to get to Aunt Connie.
Okay, excellent, excellent. We've got all the time in the world, ladies.
We're going to need it for Aunt Connie, I think.
Yes. I know that most people around the globe are massive fans of Terry Carnation.
Well, yes. Obviously. I'm not going to lie.
And you shouldn't. You should never lie here.
And... Many people are fans of your AM radio show, Dark Air, with Terry Carnation.
But for the very few people who have found themselves living under a rock, you know, just completely out of touch, Can you maybe tell them what we can expect from Dark Air with Terry Carnation?
Well, certainly. So, as you know, I had to leave the airwaves for several years.
I went through a very... As we all do. Mm-hmm.
We do. Personal travails, some mental health is very much in the headlines these days.
I have my own mental health epidemic in my head.
So I needed to leave the airwaves for a while.
I'm making my triumphant return, so this...
Podcast, if you will, this show. Documents...
My return to the airwaves, as well as Chronicles, the actual show itself, Dark Air with Terry Carnation, where I take callers from all over the globe who are calling in with their questions, issues, concerns about all things paranormal.
We love that. That is right up our alley.
That is. And I also love that you've like come over.
To somewhat of a streaming kind of situation.
Because I know you have a difficult relationship with streaming and...
All that, which I'm for. Like I'm with you on it.
Like I love a VHS. I'm old school. I'm old school, Morbid Ladies.
I like a building with a big triangular tower beaming out radio waves. and I'm talking and those radio waves are going out into people's homes.
I know I'm kind of old school in that way.
I love it. You're speaking Elena's language.
You are. I get you. Do you own one of these new cellular phones with the SMS texting capabilities?
I do. But I can tell you that I don't always know how to work it.
Sometimes I miss T9. Yeah. I don't know what that means.
See, I was going to say, T9 is old texting, even before SMS.
T9, oh, is that where you spell out the A, B, C, A, A, B, B, C, C, C?
Yes. Yeah, like J-K-L-M-N-O, J-K-L, just for LOL.
So that's what I'm doing. I'm doing T9 texting.
I did not even know that. Okay. There you go.
Look at that. You learned something new.
LOL. LOL. LOL indeed. And you know what?
We are, we're massive fans ourselves of your radio shows.
We're massive fans of Radio Rental. In fact, my husband, John, is also a massive fan of all your work, Terry.
I think he would request a lock of your hair if you're still getting those out.
His birthday's coming up. Excellent. We can totally arrange that afterwards, but just had to put it out there.
What kind of hair are we talking? You know what?
I'm going to go with the one on the head.
Okay. All right. Because it is beautiful.
And that's what I can see, so I'm assuming that's what he would want.
You have like a lovely beach wave look going on.
Yes, I do. I work on my coif. quite assiduously but recently you know I have discovered that there is a great deal of hair growing at the base of my spine, oddly enough, and I believe it's where...
I had a prehensile tale at one point in time, or perhaps... It's coming back.
Some earlier carnation... had a tail stub.
Who knows? Well, you know what? Then I'm going to request some of that hair.
Yeah, we're going to need that for scientific purposes.
If you're willing to part with it. Prehensile tail stub hair?
Certainly. Mm-hmm. Oh, I appreciate that.
He'll love it. I'm for it to get that I'll do it anyway I interrupted your flow please Oh, don't worry.
So we were huge fans. So we love to live by a couple of your quotes and I just felt like you should know.
Because one of the ones that I love the most was listen to your heart like an ambitious cardiologist.
You live by that one. I do. And I live by the follow your dreams like a benevolent stalker.
That's more my speed. It's very her vibe.
So we just wanted to thank you for putting that into our world.
Oh, you're welcome. And these are the kind of things that I think people can look forward to when you listen to Terry Carnation.
Yeah. Encouraging words with Terry. Yeah.
You should make that a segment. That might be a segment.
That might be its own show. I like that, a spinoff.
I think it would be great. Yes, where he just gives self-help advice.
Yes. There you go. I think that would be great.
I could be on Oprah. Ooh. That's the dream.
I would love that. I see it. I have, from my show Dark Air, I have a handful of calls.
If people were not familiar with the show, I could play one of these calls, for them right here, right now, so you can, well, I hate to say it, hear the master at work.
I can't wish for anything more. I would love that.
And I think it would be great for people to see exactly what they can hear.
Like you said, see the master at work. So we have some choices of calls that I brought with me, a little sampling, a little soupçon, so to speak.
Oh, I love that. I have a call from a gentleman who believes that the horn section of the band Chicago are actually international hitmen.
I have a call from a young woman whose dog, whose Rottweiler has become possessed, and on the air, the Rottweiler becomes possessed.
I have a call from a man who is... and is quite open to sexuality with Bigfoot.
Okay, I feel like that's the winner. And then there's a call from a woman There's a young man who's, it seems to us he's entered into a relationship with a ghost that is in his house.
And then there's an older man who has discovered aliens.
Um, but he has a problem with their nudity.
Oh, okay. I think we should, can we pick two?
Do you think that's possible? Okay. I think we should do the ghost in the house and the alien nudity.
Oh, like the relationship with the ghost?
The relationship with the ghost. And alien nudity.
Do you think so too? I was definitely leaning towards those ones yeah Terry do you feel the same let's try it great all right let's do it let's do it Dark Air, we've got Daryl on the line.
Hey, how's it going? It's pretty good, Daryl.
How are you? You know, I'm pretty good. I think there's a woman...
Living in my house. You're saying that you've got a woman living in your house?
Yeah, like a spirit of a woman. Maybe. So not an actual, it's not a roommate.
It's not a wife. It's starting to feel that way, but...
A lot of opinions. How do you know about her opinions?
Does she talk to you about them? The other day I sat down and I ate a bowl of cereal and then I got, I live alone by the way, And I got up and I poured another bowl of cereal and I heard a long sigh.
Hmm. Like very passive aggressive, like Like she didn't like that brand of cereal?
No, I think she has a problem with me gaining weight.
Oh. You know? She has an issue with your carb intake?
Well, the other day I went in the fridge again and I cracked a third beer.
And all I heard was a, really? I feel like I'm in a relationship and I don't quite know what to do.
Well, maybe you need to talk to her about whatever's happening with you and her and food.
It seems a little bit of kind of some passive-aggressive traumas Mm-hmm.
I feel a positive energy in the room, like she's agreeing with what I'm doing.
Well, are you interested in this spirit?
I don't know. It's just been quite a while since I've... Excuse me.
It's okay, Daryl. It's been quite a while since I've been in a relationship.
I don't really know what I'm doing. You know what I mean?
Let's cut down on the carbs, okay? Let's put the beer aside, maybe at least move to a light beer.
There's that certain brand of beer that's like a low-carb Michelob.
Maybe just switch over to that. I mean, that's disgusting.
It tastes like water. I might as well just be drinking it.
Okay. Does she have a name? Do you know?
Do you call her name? Do you have a name for her?
After I've gotten out of the shower Narak has been written on the mirror, so I think that's good.
Narak. Narak. Oh. Karen is Narak. Of course.
Oh, excellent. Karen. Okay. So... You know, I think if you're willing to make some sacrifices for Karen from NARAC...
The least you can do is switch to the Michelob low-carb protein beer.
So are you ready to make the move, you and Karen?
Are you ready to commit? Well, it's either that or move, and I don't feel like moving.
Well, there's your answer. Yeah, a yoga ball just rolled into the room and a glass of water just appeared, so...
I think I gotta go work out for the day.
Darryl, thank you so much for your call.
Yeah, I'm coming. Can you turn the lights back on?
I gotta go. Well it seems like you were very helpful for Daryl.
Well, I think that love was in the air and we don't know where love is going to come from.
And for Daryl, it came in the form of a spectral spirit.
Yeah, that felt like love too. She was just trying to get him in shape.
Yeah, I was going to say keep him around longer.
Wanted the best for him, it seemed. She wants him to not have heart disease or diabetes?
Hello, thank you very much. What's wrong with that?
Exactly. I think, you know what? Karen's got a bad name, but this one didn't didn't do it so bad.
That's why she changed it to NARAC. One Karen who satisfies.
Yes, one Karen we can get behind. That was a very successful call.
So now there's a very odd older gentleman now who has a problem with aliens.
Let's hear what he has to say when he called into my show the other night.
I'm excited for this one. Let's hear it.
Caller, you're on the air all the way from Australia.
Hi, Terry, how are you? I'm a first-time caller.
My name's Brian. Hello, Brian. Welcome.
Welcome to Dark Air. Throw another... Shrimp on the barbie, mate.
Yeah, we don't laugh at that a lot, Terry, because we call them prawns and we don't actually find that very funny, but...
You know, you go ahead and have a good laugh.
Throw another prawn on the barbie, mate.
I'm Crocodile Dundee. You call that a knife?
This is a knife. Sorry. Brian, go ahead.
So, um... I've had many encounters of a personal kind with beings from another universe.
Beings from another universe? Are you speaking about alien encounters?
Indeed I am. I am. I am a Terry. Yes, I am.
First of all, I'm fascinated. What did they look like?
How did they travel? How did you meet them?
Well, they came off flying saucers, obviously, and they would arrive.
I would generally be on my own out there in the desert and and they would come out and make contact with me, but I don't go out there anymore.
Once it's dark, I keep the lights out. I don't want any more to do with these beings.
Hmm. Do tell. Did something go down, so to speak?
Well, there's two things. First of all...
You'd think for a species that have learned to travel across space, they could at least learn how to speak English.
They've landed in an English-speaking country.
Is that too much to ask? The second thing is...
A species that's clearly evolved. You would think they would go to the trouble to wear clothes.
No. They never wear clothing. They're essentially naked.
They're naked beings. It's offensive. I hear you.
These aliens should have learned English, and they should have bothered to put on some clothing.
Can you describe them? Could you see their genitalia?
Was there something offensive about their...
Their nakedness? As far as genitalia goes, I chose not to look.
You never know what's going to happen out there with an unclosed alien.
It could be subject to all kinds of horrible things and I don't care to go out there anymore.
Sodomy? Brian, were you ever probed? As a matter of fact...
Oh, I think we've hit a nerve here. for one, I do not understand the alien obsession with the human anus.
You've really upset me a little bit there.
Brian, I'm so sorry. It sounds like you've got a lot to process there.
I highly recommend you calling my therapist, Dr. Norman Kesden, to process.
Thank you, Terry. Well, you know, that was a different kind of call.
A couple things here. One, he definitely got probed.
I think we can all we've talked about that on our show before yeah he'd just been pro yes he did yes Well, it's interesting because you were talking about uplifting thoughts with Terry Carnation and I was able to act as kind of a de facto trauma therapist for Brian.
You truly were. We had some unwanted, unwarranted sexual. exploration happen to his nether bits, and... Well, that... prompted his distaste and dislike for an entire alien species.
Now that's not fair. That's not fair at all.
No way. See, you're doing big things here with dark air.
I think you're going to help a lot of people.
You are. I might even call in with some of my problems.
I you know, we have we have Dr. Lizzie, who answers people's you know, issues on the air.
We also have a pet psychic on the same radio station.
But perhaps Terry Coronation needs to fill in in the self-help realm.
I think you do. You're a multitasker, if nothing at all.
I think you have a knack for it. We've all learned that.
Well, here's what I like. The word morbid is very scary.
It's very dark. And you are so chipper and delightful, you two.
Thank you. Thank you so much. It's because of you.
You caught us on a good day. Well, it's been delightful speaking with you, and I hope you'll tune in to Dark Air when it drops on April 1st. at all the podcast stores.
You know, I don't know what you do. Do you?
I assume you download the podcast and burn it onto a CD.
On an X tape, exactly. That's what you do.
Pop that into a CD player or put that onto a cassette and listen to it that way on your Walkman.
I'm not exactly sure, but April 1st, it's available.
I hope you'll be there on the first day.
April 1st. Be there guys. We're going to be there or get probed.
Everybody needs to be there. And you know what?
Hopefully we'll see, you know, another, another project from you soon.
Like the haunting of Emily's hair. Maybe that will come to fruition.
You never know. We'd love to get on board with that.
We have an episode about the haunting of Emily's hair.
Yes, Terry Carnation's horror film. I wrote a horror script and there's been, frankly, a lot of interest.
Well, consider this interest. We're interested.
Ridley Scott's cousin's receptionist. was very intrigued.
So we have competition is what you're telling us.
I was going to say. We want to jump in line.
We have a video camera. We have thoughts.
We like weird stuff. Money talks, bullshit walks, ladies.
You know what? I couldn't have said it better myself.
We'll come to an agreement. We'll send our people to talk to your people.
We'll figure it out. Excellent. But you know what, Terry?
You have been amazing. You are amazing. And I'm glad that if anybody who was listening didn't know who you were, that now they do.
They do. We could bring you into their lives.
And you too, like me, are open to all possibilities.
