In this episode, hosts AJ and Jamie share a lively mix of personal banter, paranormal storytelling, and trivia games centered around the Stanley Hotel's haunted reputation and its influence on Stephen King's 'The Shining.' The episode kicks off with casual conversation, including reminiscing about old video games and discussing renovation plans for their filming set. The narrative then transitions into an exploration of Stephen King's fascination with the paranormal, leading to a detailed discussion about The Stanley Hotel's eerie history and reported ghost sightings, including those of its original owners and a mischievous young boy named Billy. In a humorous turn, the episode features a game segment called 'King or Zing,' where Jamie guesses whether story synopses are authentic Stephen King plots or AI-generated. The banter continues with personal anecdotes, speculative ghost theories, and light-hearted, comedic commentary throughout.
