In this episode of Tales, Trails & Taverns, Joe sits down with longtime friend and fellow podcaster Dayvid Salinas—host of Dayvid Don’t Know and co-host of Won Nothing Podcast, Weird Java in the Morning, and The Reel Verdict.
What starts as a catch-up between two creators quickly spirals into a wide-ranging, late-night conversation steeped in high strangeness. Joe and Dayvid trade stories of haunted taverns, ride-share encounters that feel anything but normal, and firsthand paranormal experiences that blur the line between folklore and lived reality.
From demon lore and unsettling passenger stories to haunted malls, mimics, spirit attachments, and why your home should always be a sanctuary, the conversation dives deep.
The episode also explores government experiments, the Montauk Project, the Philadelphia Experiment, time travel theories, alternate realities, and how pop culture—especially Stranger Things—may be closer to the truth than we realize. Equal parts chilling, thoughtful, and conversational, this is one you’ll want to listen to with the lights on.
