Jess and I don't know what he's about to report on. We've got no idea but we're very interested here and we always start with a question for Matt to get us onto that topic. And the question this week is, so I put it up to a vote for the patrons. Fantastic. And the options I gave them were four different cryptids.

Ooh, fire! So we've done a few cryptids in the past. We've done big foot, we've done. Moth man. We've done it. We've done it. That's right, is that all of them? So this might be our fourth cryptid.

Yeah. The question is, what cryptid celebrated the 30th birthday of its most famous sighting in 2018 just last year? Oh, so 80's sighting. Good quick math, third day. Love that. I'm trying to think what was big in the 80's? Okay, shoulder pads. Shoulder pad, gym. Shoulda pad, gym.

Shoulda pad, gym. Was it shoulder pad, gym? Was it big hair, Mike? Was it perm, head, Mike? Was it George Michael? Oh, was it, was it, Wem, Bem, thank you, Jann. Was it Ashford Wash, Denham, Chris?

Um. Oh, was it the tie, dye, monster? Was that 90s? Damn it. Was it the, do they know what's Christmas time at all? Monster. No, no, I don't, maybe. Are we close?

No. It is the something man of somewhere, something swamp. Is that help? Swamp boy, swamp thing. It's an animal, there's the something man of scale. Alligator. Swamp, so close. Crocodile, man.

Think smaller. Ooh, I've got Crocodile, man. Think smaller. Ooh, I'll do smooth. Corana, man. It's the lizard man, scape or swamp. I mean, we were close. Of which swamp? Scape or. Lizard man.

I don't know, maybe that's a question. Scape or swamp. It's from one of the two. No, it's scape or swamp, which is in South Carolina in America. Oh, fantastic. I don't know many, many is in South Carolina in America. Cool. Fantastic. I don't know many, many facts about the Carolina's North or South.

No. Did you come across any fun facts, Matt? Yeah, there was a few fun facts around. Let me just go through my random fact generator in my head. Okay. Or I just pick one at random. Please do know so many. Uh, neighboring state, North Carolina actually had a university there.

neighboring to which direction? to the north of South Carolina. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure. I'm going to pass him a bloody, I'm going to have a deliost or something. What do I like? But anyway, and they're one of their famous alum was a man named Michael Jordan. And he was quite a good basketballer in his time.

He's not anymore because he's, I think he's dead. That's not true. That's not true. He's still alive and well. He's still doing real good at the time of recording. At the time of recording. Oh my God, please. So he continued to wear his college shorts,

they were blue, right through his professional career as a Chicago Bull. So he was wearing a red uniform with light blue pants underneath. Oh that is wild. Two pants are short, so you'd be hot. Hey I'm wearing one pair of shorts right now and I'm dying. Oh god it is hot. He was hot. He was hot. He was hot on and off the court. The biggest thing in the 90s. Wow. But the biggest thing in the 80s was the lizard man of scape or swamp.

Now you can understand why Dave and I didn't immediately jump to this. We were alive in the 80s. No, not in the 80s. It's most famous sighting. You were not around. No. But. We were but a twinkle in our father's eyes.

You're going to say, not the same dad, not the same twinkle, please. This topic was suggested by James Knight and he wrote, come on, it's a freaking lizard man. Very compelling argument. Well solved James. Thanks James. Now on with the report on June the 29th, 1988, in Lee County, South Carolina,

a 17 yearold named Christopher Davis was driving home from a night shift at McDonald's. When one of the tires on his 1976 Toyota, Selica, blue. Blue a tire. Blue a tire. Ah, spooky. Davis pulled over on Browntown Road.

He was going down to Browntown. Approximately a mile pass, scape or bridge. He changed his tire over, and was packing his tool back into the boot of his car. Packing his tool back in? Yes. Yep, continue.

I like that he's handy enough to do it himself. I would be calling my farsher. Your daddy. The one time I burned a tire, right, I kept driving for about 20 minutes, not realizing it had been lying blind and I was on the freeway with my foot flat to the floor One of the car was pulling to the left and only getting to about 60 kilometers Now and I should be doing a hundred in the freeway and then spark started flying up on the front of the car I was like jeez, what's that pull over?

Oh, well, I'll check it home. I don't worry. I'm only 25 minutes from home. Pull over on the side of the freeway. The tire is absolutely exploded. It's steaming, like it's going crazy because from the heat, I've shredded through the tire and down to the rim. And for some reason I decided to reach out and try and touch the tire, which inside of the tire, it knows a lot of steel wire, which is now stuck, and it just cut my hand, I can't. And I'm like, Oh, I'll read you at this point. About 19, just got my last one.

So I'm like, that's it. Get back in the car and call him, dad. So, Davis pulled over and he changes tie over, Pagan is, tools back in his car when he saw something moving from the tree line, then the thing that he saw came right for him. Whoa! This is how Davis described what happened next.

I ran into the car and as I locked it, the thing grabbed the door handle. I could see him from the neck down, the three big fingers, long black nails, and green rough skin. It was strong and angry. I looked in my mirror and saw a blur of green running. I could see his toes and then he jumped on the roof of my car. I thought I heard a grunt and then I could see his fingers through the front windshield where they curled around on the roof. I sped up and swerved to shake the creature off.

Wow, so it's run up, he's jumped in the car. Yeah. Lock the door and then it's jumped on the roof and he's sped all over. Swept fish tailing to's jumped in the car. Yeah lock the door and then it's jumped on the roof and he's sped all Swat fish tailing to get it off the roof. Oh my god. He changed that tyre. Yeah. Oh, man Imagine trying to get away with a I imagine trying to drive with a tire that's not working I could have no idea how that would feel Sparks flying everywhere. Oh, it's so dangerous. It's a pretty wild story But there's no sort of room for doubt, you know in the the Mothman one, it was a lot of stuff like, oh, it looked like it was something following.

And this is like, he's either, you know, he's probably telling the truth or he's made this up. Or he was doing some drugs. Oh, true. Yes, that's option. That's just good, but I know what you're saying. You're saying he's not like, oh, kind of. So he's like, I saw it.

Yeah. This is exactly what I saw. I saw three fingered hand grip through the roof. I saw it in the shoulder. I saw it in toes. Yeah. That's specific. Yeah, that's weird.

And it's like, that can't be an animus. I see Matt's toes right now. No, it's a myth. No, I can see Dave's toes. It's very hot in here. We've got no defeat. So yeah, if it was a guy in a suit, he'd then prank him.

That's not possible, right? There's no human that can just rip through a car like that. Yeah, because at first I thought, well, this could be a prank. Yeah. You're right. So did you go through the win-squeen? That's like the fingers went through the front windshield and then curled up onto the roof inside the car. I think I've cut through the glass.

Yeah. So, yeah, like someone in a Halloween costume is not doing that. That, yeah, that's right. Despite the traumatic nature of the incident, apparently Dave didn't go straight to the cops. It wasn't until he heard that the local sheriff's office was investigating a similarly damaged car That he came forward with this story. You'd probably be like no one's gonna believe this anyway. Yeah, it would be hard to Speak up about it. It's right Unless you're full of shit. Then it would still be pretty hard. No, I'd be piss easy because you can't yeah

It's like do you remember? Yeah, sure absolutely. I do I can I can make, I mean, I can tell you anything. Yeah. And always name, stated, yeah. So in 2013, writer Lyall Blackburn published a book called Lizard Man, the true story of the Bishop Phil Monster, in which he details the story of the creature. He describes the incident that inspired Davis to come forward saying, so this is the other car, damage car, this is how Lionel Blackburn described in his book. A family by the name of Way reported that that 1985 Ford LTD had been mauled during the night while they slept. The vehicle, which had been parked under an open metal car port, had suffered extensive damage to the molding Side walls and hood it would have seemed like the work of a vandal

But hair and footprints found on the car led them to believe some kind of animal might have been responsible Oh vandals don't have feet or hair It's a bit. Yeah, come on. Come on It's not too late, yeah, you're prejudices showing Yeah, oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, you're is showing. Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, you're the only people in the world with fate. Yeah, come on. Fucking unbelievable.

Unbelievable. I mean, Vander was also having pets. They're allowed to want pets. Yeah. Well, unfortunately, yeah, thanks to the, I didn't vote for that one. Yeah. He goes on a blackburn poses the question

They thought it was some sort of animal, but what kind of animal would sink its claws and teeth into a metal skin of a car? What kind of rider refers to the outside of a car is skin? This changes everything according to the Charleston City Paper, which are all referenced a little bit, which is a Charleston's one of the big cities in Carolina, this is what they said. The hair fibers were determined to have come from a red fox, and a biologist said the footprints on the car could have come from a black bear,

and not uncommon sight in the nearby swamp. So was it some sort of a bear and fox gang related attack? That's a question of us. I didn't see anyone else asking me. I thought that was the author. That was another question he was posing. It feels like maybe it's like an unlikely animal friendship.

Yeah, that. They're catching up for a bit of a date or whatever. And then either maybe together, then maybe they both get off on it. Rekin cars. Wow. So you're like, imagine like a lading the tramp's an hour in where they got the spaghetti. Only they've got a car.

They're sucking on a car. They're sucking on a car. One's working on the exhaust pipe, the other on the bonnet somewhere, meeting in the middle. The fox obviously got only, you could take a lot of it in, but the big bear, who knows? This is basically case closed. Yeah, sorted. I might send an email.

To whom? Probably the Lizard Man. Lizard Man at Gmail.com? Yeah. Or LizardManAtLizardMan.com. Yeah. So, this story from Davis, along with all these, this car and a few other cars that got trashed around that time, sent the town and the surrounding area into some sort of lizard man fever

Media outlets from around the world ran with the story making Davis some sort of an international celebrity He further described the creature as green wet like about seven feet tall and with three fingers and glowing red eyes 30 only two or three quarters of a bottle. Yeah, now is it's in red eyes. Oh, 30 only saw three quarters of a rifle Yeah, now it's it's in the eyes. No, it's in the full quarter. Yep. The full four quarters You see the top quarter Initially I forgot about the top quarter, but now I can see it and also it was very wet like whatever that means Maybe it just been from that swamp over there The media coverage led to a bunch of attention in the local area, businesses cashed in,

obviously, selling Lizard Man t-shirts, and the local Chamber of Commerce backed all the publicity as good for the community. Beth Hirschberger from the Lee County Chamber of Commerce, the legend of Lizard Man is Lee County. We just need to embrace it. Every town should have an icon and we just happen to be fortunate enough that ours happens to be a Lizard Man.

He sometimes have Michael Jordan. We have a Lizard Man. Allegedly. And how many three pieces that Lizard Man done? None. So far. I really, this is a really enjoyed like, how's just happens to be a Lizard man. He chose us as opposed to us having to go out and find an icon for Lee County.

I think he likes us. Maybe he doesn't. She turned very quickly there, mid-centred. I think he likes us. Maybe he doesn't. He doesn't like cows, obviously, but we'll take him for what he's worth. I love those interview sentences. Is she okay? He's here, can I? Well, she interviewing herself. Ah, now, good question.

What am I doing here? Well, let's find out. I think that's just classic. This is a home video, she's made. I just blag in your way through an interview. You're like, what, I'm in the Chamber of Commerce. I am not expecting in your way through an interview you're like what I'm in the Chamber of Commerce I am not expecting that for a TV critic on Rano interview me about a lizard man. But this was not in the job description. Yeah this man's great or I can he loves us or he doesn't

and I mean also it might not be great so take a pic I haven't offended anyone. We'll take him for what he's worth. Do you guys have any questions about what I actually do? Or... You know what? You get a law school for seven years. No, more questions about Lizard Man, okay. Okay, what do you got? Yep, grind red eyes, that's what we believe. Yep, or not.

Yeah, or not blue, whatever. Okay, I'm a lawyer. Probably has eyes. According to the Charleston town paper, Charleston town paper, a Lizard Man information center was set up inside a restaurant in nearby Bishopville. There, you could meet the 17 year old Davis to ask him questions and get his autograph.

What the fuck? Christopher Davis, the boy who formerly worked at McDonald's. So this is a bit of a step up, someone to say. Yeah. Like was so, so lab. Do you disagree? I think having a steady income is better than being famous for 15 minutes, you know. I think you should never have said anything. I should have just worked his way up

management at McDonald's. That's right. Head down back on the whoppers. Yeah. All the grill. The whoppers. Whoppers made. That's Henry J. Oh, Dave. Clearly he's not a company man. Big Max. Yes, back on the Big Max. There we go. And the Wappers. Oh my god, Dave, honestly, I will take you out the back to shoot you. She'll do it, Dave.

Jess is not fucking around. I'm melting. I'm... What a world. Dangerously hot. Wow, is that like... You're at that orientation. Dave, you're a film dangerously hot.

I'm a little bit worried that my body is at a temperature, which is not safe to be at, but please do go. Yeah, I'm a little worried that my body is too hot. Shut up Dave. I've had that fear for many years now. Honestly Matt, please go on to shut it up. I've been your little pecs. No, come on, I'm straight off the deck. The paper goes on to say that the county started hosting

a lizard man, 5K race. I was just hoping that he'd see it and enter. Good. Hey, there he is. Got it out, run the lizard man. They're already chasing you. Hey, they all get a handicap. They have to start, they get like a one minute head start

and then he can start running. And if they he catches you and then he can start running. And if he catches you then you lose your life. I'm more likely parts of your car. He tags you then says which one's your car and then you have to show him and then he'll rip your car apart. You'll remain on scale, but your cast fucks. Damn it. The paper goes on to say, so the 5K race, also, at least three songs were written about the lizard man. At least. One was called lizard man.

I think you're my father. The other was, hey hey they're lizard boy. Now the one was called Green Day. You know I know of the lizard man. Yeah. Do we actually have any title to what they are? I just told you. At least three. But if they were to at a fourth, yes of course. It would definitely be called swampy man, slain brackets, the lizard. Slice bracket, I fought. And some locals have called for a statue to be erected of the creature, somehow. Some haven't. People want it, or they don't, that's the quote from Beth.

It's a bit like when they honor an outlaw like a Ned Kelly. Yeah. You're that too. This Lissoman is clearly attacked one of your 17 year olds and ruined two plus cars. One of your 17 year old cars. That's right. Yeah. Nearly destroyed a Toyota, Salika.

Beautiful car. Beautiful lot of mobile. Wow. What an engine. Some people have loved the idea of the lizard man so much that they broke the law to keep the dream alive. Now this is again from the CTP, which is what I've broken Charleston town by a bit out to, pretty cool.

CTP, that is cool. That is cool. That's so cool. That's pretty cool. Yes, yes, yes, tell me. So cool. Thank you. Now this is from the CDP. In August, 1988, Kenneth O'Reilly, an Airman station that shore air force-based near Bishopville,

Tothley County Sheriff, Liston Truesdale. This is called, like, gibberish, so far. Truesdale. Truesdale, right? You trust that guy? That sounds true. Sheriff Liston True's Dale. Kenneth Orman, the airman. Kenneth Or the airman. Telled Sheriff Liston True's Dale. Hey, was it Kenneth Or the airman?

Kenneth. I'm so confused about what you're saying. The airman Kenneth. Airman. Okay. I'm hearing Kenneth. Kenneth Or the airman. No, I'm hearing like Kenneth or the Airman? No, I'm hearing like Kenneth or the Airman.

And I was like, that's an interesting name. Or the Airman, sure, that's his name. So he's telling the sheriff that he crossed paths with the Lizard Man while driving to the base at 6am. Why was he driving if he's an Airman? It doesn't add up. There's holes in his story already. Well, you're good. Are you an Airman or a landman? Yeah, he's not like his story already. You're good.

Are you an airman or a landman? Yeah, he's not like a landman. Pick a side. Pick a side. He just has to. He just always has to hover a couple of feet above the ground. You wanna three?

You're an airman? You're a landman or a seaman? You wanna three? Well, start as one, mate. Twinkle, twinkle. He said he fired a warning shot with his revolver before shooting and wounding the creature. We don't sound like there. It's not for warning shot. Yeah. Thank you. If I wound in here straight away, you shoot it. No, I fired, I fired a warning shot into its shoulder. Yeah. According to newspaper reports at the

time, or drew a sketch of the creature and presented some blood and scales that were on the hood of his vehicle's evidence. But the sketch looks suspiciously like one that was being sold on t-shirts in town. And the scales appeared to have come from a fish. That's all from me. You didn't think they'd figure that out? Yeah, no, it's funny. I'll just get some fish scales and they won't be able to figure out what it is.

And someone goes, well, that's a fish scale. And they're like, whoa, you're good. How did they know? Are you a fish? yes I'm a scene where he's quick he is quick is quick roars Or eventually admitted to the hoax saying I made the report just to keep the legend of the Lizard Man alive. He was reportedly charged with a misdemeanor count of filing a false report. I'm not sure if anything came of that charge. I hope the whole book was thrown at him, though.

I agree. Because don't. I wanted it to see him do time. You will never fly again. Because what happened to that fish? Yeah. What did you do to that innocent fish? Because some of its scales you sick fuck. Well, I think he was friends with the fish and the fish.

Oh, I need to scale it. The fish was inca hoots. Oh my god, it's an inside fish. Flittered into a fish, yeah. Do not take that fish out of slime. So yeah, I don't like, he diluted the whole legend of the Lizard Man with this nonsense. Just wanted to keep the Lizard Man alive. I know I'd look it was a noble idea, but like I mean mate, just don't go to the statue fund.

Yeah, come on. Yeah, or go out and actually you go find the actual Lizard Man. Just talk about it. Tell the story. Tell his story. Let her hear. Thank you. Women can be lizard men.

I think he should, he should just be, he should be the vessel. Let his let the art wash through you. Mr. M and Kenneth O'Reilly. Lizard man fever didn't last too long and started fizzling out by the following year. It really was quite shortly. Other reports do still happen sporadically? In 2008, CNN reported that Bob and Dixie Rossons Minivan was badly damaged and they blamed the Lizard Man.

Lizard Man! Dave, have a go. Lizard Man! Yeah, it's good stuff Dave. No, that's fun to say. It is! And I can see why Kenneth would want to keep the legend alive. Kenneth or a man. Yeah, Kenneth or a man. I'm not sure which one yet. I'll

you'll come back later and confirm. Talking about this report, the then Lee County Sheriff, E.J. Melvin said, you think it's a joke, but you look at the damage done to the vehicle. It's hard to say. It's hard to say whether it's a joke. Yeah, I would say it's a lizard man. Sure. That's my best guess. I would say a bear. Alright. A lizard bear. That's wilder. That's more terrifying than a lizard man. Yeah, it's a bear. But with scales. Apart from that, it's a bear. Right. I think it's just a bear with psoriasis. Okay.

And other piecia. So there's another heavy food. Where does the fox here come from then? I tried to wear the foxes a week. Yeah, he bought a fox week. Come on, Matt. Sorry, I'm slipping in this heat, slipping off my chair. Nope.

Whop. In 2015, a photo was taken and it was featured in media reports across the globe. Was this the best evidence since the fish scales? Yeah. Which weren't evidence of the fish lizard man. They were evidence of a fish. Is there a fish man?

There's definitely a fish in there. If I wanted to cover up a fish man, I would report signings of a lizard man and use the fish man scales as evidence of a lizard man. Get people off the sand. Yeah. A fish. God, can I get that out of here? Smells a bit fishy, I tell you that much.

Whatever's going on. Nobody's ever said smells a bit lizardy, have they? So this photo was taken in 2015. This is a part of the report from the UK's Daily Mail, a very good source for investigative journalists like myself. Sarah Berra says she was a church with a friend when she stepped outside and caught a glimpse of the fabled creature running along the tree line. The woman grabbed her cell phone and snapped a picture of the apparition.

The resulting image depicts a comically muscular, upright humanoid with three Claude toes on each foot and Claude fingers. The monster has red eyes, a long kangaroo-like tail and a snub-nosed face. And this is what Sarah... You can see the three fingers in it? Yeah. Wow.

This is what Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, I don't know. This is what she wrote in an email to ABC News 4 at the time. My hand to God, I am not making this up. So excited. What, she wrote that? Yeah. I love her.

Okay, now I'm going to show you two the photo. So excited. Oh, so it's obviously a pretty good quality then. Yeah, it's 2015, baby. And you can see the three things as you were saying. Yeah, no, that's what I'm surprised to. It's always from such a distance. Yeah, it's 2015, baby. And you can see the three things as you were saying. Yeah, no, that's what I'm surprised to. It's always from such a distance. Yeah.

We might share it on some way or see people who say, oh, you can Google it. Anyway, the Sarah Barrel is a band photo. Here you go. It looks like something from the power ranges. She genuinely. Madness just scrolled down to reveal the next line of this report is it looks like a power ranges baddie to me. That's 100% just someone in a costume.

That's 100% a power range. Yeah. That's a costume. It's so clearly not a real Sarah. That is 100% about to get kicked in the face by Billy the Blue Ranger. Sarah. Sarah, you are not. Oh my God.

Seriously. Hand to God. Hand to God. Hand to God. So excited. I saw someone in a costume. Look, I'm not a... Hand to God, I'm not shitting you. I'm not doubting her.

I think that she did see that. But I think that I was actually... Oh, I think that she saw that, yes. But I don't think she's in on it. I think that's just someone in a costume and she's gone, oh my God, that is real. Because if she was in on it, you wouldn't have taken that clearer of a photo.

And it's also- You would have made it further away, a bit blurrier. It's walking like that photo of Leonardo DiCaprio. Remember when he's like walking all happy? Yeah, that one. And it's also walking and flexing its muscles at the same time. It's a big unit.

And at some point, she would have shown her friends that photo first, but like look at the photo, oh my God, I'm gonna send it to the news. And none of his stupid fucking friends said, Sarah, that's someone in a costume. They were all like, oh my God, babe, are you no sushi? Oh my God, babe, you. Seriously, if you're lying, you have to tell me,

hand to God, oh my God. Babe, you have to send that to the Daily Mail. They will print this. But also, I mean, a lot of the people in the town love it. They love the, they love Lizard Man fever. A lot of them are making money out of t-shirts. And also part of me. Or maybe not a lot of them are making money out of t-shirts.

Someone probably... Being skeptical, if you were in on it, you would make a better costume. You'd make a better costume and you'd, yeah, you'd take a worse photo. Right. From further away, less clear. Bit of grain. Clear enough though, that it's not just like a bit of tree.

Yeah. Well, there were other ones around that time. She also got another one of it wearing board shorts. And it's holding a peanut collater and a banana lounge. And she got another one of it blowing out birthday candles. And what's to do with C'mon Sarah? So she's... Hi icons.

Looked at a church, is there anyone else at Cena? They can corroborate that they at least saw it. Which she was there with a friend apparently, so I think there was, but this friend doesn't have friends.

This person doesn't have friends. Clearly, otherwise, like Jess said, they would have given her the advice to, that is not good. Or her friends are as dumb as her, which probably makes sense, because dummies attract dummies. Am I right? Fellow dummies. Yes, you are right, dummy. Oh no. You think I'm an

idiot. That's a reflection on you. This picture went was shown around the world again. Obviously a lot of that was in, you know, the joky segments on news and stuff, but it was. That would be something you would do at work, Dave. Yeah, this feels like a Friday funny if I've ever heard of them. Yeah, that's right. The King of Wim. You see. King of Wim.

Z. And I'm trying to get my title at work, and it's just not coming out. This is what I was going for with Leonardo DiCaprio. That's how it's walking. It's like a theme. Or a poster. Can you remember to do a side by side? Yes.

For those two, that's true. Screen shot to remind you. So anyway, every time there's one side in it, there's a clump of them, right? And that's because the Lizard Man's in town. Well, that makes sense. That does make sense. It's not just one person saying it and going out and getting some attention. Other people are going, oh, no, no, no.

I want attention. But also, I think there's that and also people are going, oh, it's back. So I'm keeping my eyes out more. So I'm seeing that thing in the distance. Because there was a video with a sort of a shadow in amongst the trees, which got a bit of attention as well, which to me is better because it's like, that could be anything, including a lizard man. This couldn't be anything.

This could only be a lizard man and hard and fast proof. So I think, like you guys are making fun of it, but I think Sarah Barra should also have a statue in the town right next to the lizard man statue. And in her statue, she got a cell phone out. Yeah. As a speech role that says, so excited. Hand to God. Is that a phrase hand to God?

Yeah, don't let him and you say to it, hand to God, hand to God. That might not be true. Many more, my favorite saying of his, I don't even have a dog in this fight. I like that. It's like what? I mean, why are have a dog in this fight. I like that. It's like what I mean. Why are you a dog fight? Many more reports started coming out again. That same week that Sarah Berra's photo came out, a man named Jim Wilson said he saw a tall

figure with a long, scaly tail. He spoke to Fox News and Carolina saying, it was almost like an avocado with a short nose and long legs. My friend told me it's probably a pet monitor lizard, but my girlfriend thinks it's lizard man. Okay, who are you gonna, who you gonna listen to your friend or your girlfriend? Your whipped bitch. You know, listen to one of your girlfriend says, Hey, mate, we'll, don't dog the boys. I wasn't upright. Was it upright? Yeah, yeah,

monetarily is a walk out its legs. That long legs. For a fucking stroll. This all makes sense. Don't worry. It was wearing a jacket and a hat. Yeah, it was nothing. Weed. It had an airplane classic monetarily. But I love how he's the only one who saw it. And then two people have strong opinions on what it was. Yeah. I think it's a monitor lizard. No, that's the lizard man. That's clearly the lizard man.

Oh, oh. Oh. Oh. I reckon it's a lizard man again. I reckon it is. Probably trying to look like a monitor lizard. Oh, shit. Yeah, you didn't think of that.

That did you. No, I didn't. Yeah, well, I'm Prepare to get fucked in the head By all this it man cuz he's coming for you. No Sorry Ty B you be on watch if you go around the swamp

Just who's on the air swap about yeah, and your whims about, yeah. Whiz on your swamp. Do we do swamps? We probably just call them something else. Swamps and creaks the same thing. Yeah, we do have swamp land here. We do have swamp land here. What?

Do we have lizard man's here? Well, go ahead and hit. Oh my god. In Bishopville, the South Carolina Cotton Museum maintains a lizard man exhibit. The CTP, Michael, never the bad. Contacted. I mean, it's hardly a shortening

if you have to keep your hands. You say it every time, we get it. Anyway, the CTP. What's that? What's CTP? That's sort of government organization, or is that a computer Anyway, the CTP. What's that? What's CTP? That's sort of government organization. Is that a computer? That's CPU. That's the Charleston town paper. Oh, why don't you just say that then? That's my cool name for it. Oh, I call it the Charlie.

I call it the town paper. Can I go with Charlie? The Charlie contacted the museums then directed Jason Cox at the time of the 2015 sightings and they quoted him as saying, there's always interest any time they show anything about the lizard man. People call, people want the t-shirts and all of that. So we're happy to supply your fantasy. Oh, band. And then, so the CP, the Charlie, they

questioned him on that. They said, well, fantasy, what do you mean fantasy? And he said, well, you have to come here and find out for yourself. Oh, who's a business man. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, come here and find out pay the $16 admission fee. They're refunds. Oh, he is good. He said, what do you have to understand is, even back to the dinosaur age, there was a lizard looking creature that stood on its hind legs, lack the lizard man, it's described.

The native Americans- Is that called a Tyrannosaurus Rex or? No, I want to talk about this, this dinosaur shortly, but it's not the Tyrannosaurus Rex, it's a newer discovered dinosaur. The Native Americans talked about men with tails that came to live with them. So the stories have been going on for centuries. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? He's a great marketer. He said, I've watched videos of him.

I really like him so much. I want to go meet him. If we get anywhere near this area, we've got to go. No, I'm not going near. I just want... Or... I'll listen. Yeah, nah. You can? Yeah, no, I'll stay in the...

I'll do a little deep. Hotel, motel, holiday in. I don't think that's what. I think that's three different things. What do you mean? Okay, well the three of us can stay at different accommodations. Shotgun hotel. Shotgun, D-can! Shotgun holiday in. Shotgun, Diccan! Shotgun, Holiday Inn.

Shotgun Motel. Yeah. Love it. Love anywhere with a bed. Yeah, no, I want room service and a robe. Like a walk-in robe or like a dressing gown. Both. Okay. And a tube.

So I watched this video where Cox was interviewed for this sort of quirky news story by WISTV. And then he mentions that the legend actually predates 1988 and that it's likely that Christopher Davis grew up hearing about it, that some sort of lizard man type creatures in the area, saying something like, so in the middle of the night, something comes at you in the dark. What are you going to think? Ah, lizard man. So he's sort of saying that he's grown up with the story, so maybe that's why Christopher Davis sort of filled in a lot of blanks.

Maybe I guess he's saying as a bear, and he's changed the bear in his mind from, you know, big black furry bear to a scaly green wet black lizard man with glowing red eyes. He's done a fair bit of work to be honest, I guess. Cox also talked about the fossils that the dinosaurs were talking about before that were recently discovered of a crocodilian ancestor dubbed the Carolina Butcher, which fits a similar description to the Elizabethan. The Smith-Sonian website describes it as a bizarre 9-foot reptilian killer beast that stalked through the tropical mud on two high-n legs and its powerful jaws could crunch through

small mammals and armoured reptiles alike. Whoa. What? But this is a, this is a fossilized. There's millions of years ago. Yeah. Cox also spooked in this video. He also spooked some of the museums. Lizard Man merchandise, including t-shirts and butterbeens saying, keep in mind, the lizard

man loves butterbeans. What evidence is that based on? You're like eating cars if anything else. Oh, I replayed this part of the video so much last time. I just played it over and over again. Keep in mind the Lizard Man loves Butterbeans. So, if you're buying the museum and you're attracted to you? I don't want that. You keep your Butter. Well, how are you giving them to him? Well, keep in mind the lizard man loves butter beans

Someone about that that you guys aren't enjoying it like I did last night. I was crying Imagine well keep in mind the lizard man loves butter beans. I'm gonna teach it, mate, of that. So that pretty much brings me to the end of the report, but before I do, it wouldn't be a cryptid report without some details of the town's cash-in annual festival. Yes. Bigfoot has multiple, the Moth Man has one too, and since 2018, only last year,

the Lizard Man is now in on the action as well. So just, that happened to celebrated the 30th anniversary? Yes. On the official website, which is maybe the maybe the poxies website of ever seen, it's got a sort of like a profile picture, which is like a cartoon of a dinosaur. And it says, the second annual Lizard Man festival, I want to go to this so much, but I don't think we're going to be there. When is it?

It's in April, April 26th, 28th, at the Button King Museum and surrounding area, April 26th, 28th. And it lists its three main attractions. These are the three in order. WCW Legend and Actor, Papa Stro, Maestro. Is that man anything to you? Is that a wrestler? Papa Stro, Maestro.

Then they have Cosplayers with a picture of Aquaman and a Cosplay competition with a picture of Catwoman. I don't understand. Very relevant. But I think there are, like there's also, you know, that author I was talking about before ago, and there's talks and stuff about mysteries and unexplained things, but the website does not talk about that at all.

Really? Does it even mention the Lucid Man? No, not really. It just is, I think it's Lizardmanfessible.com. That's great. Yeah, lizardmanfessible.com if you wanna check it out. If you're anywhere near it, you gotta go. Oh wow, that's terrible.

Can I see the website? We will be linking to this. Wow. I mean, that's described. That's it. It's almost like they've gone back in time and made it in 1998. Yeah, but it's only started last year. So this has to be, I don't mean to be mean. It's kind of great in simplicity. It's also a little confusing. And it's really easy to make a website now. So that's bad. Yeah. We could get a vendor or an artist table,

Elizabeth and artist table, if we wanna have a stall there, 50 bucks for a vendor table. We could go there and sell butter beans or something. Oh, keep in mind. Pfft. Ha ha ha. The Elizabeth loves butter beans. The fuck is a butter bean?

I'm not sure. Dave, what's a butter bean? Like a little, it's like a white bean. Why do you know everything Dave? A lot, because I like butter beans, I really am. What do you see butter beans in Australia? I'm a kidney bean fan, number one bean. I make no apologies.

I was about to, but I won't. Never. I'm trying to Google it. Trying to Google it, but I won't. Never. Beautiful texture. I'm trying to Google it, but that wrestler nicknamed Butterbeam keeps coming up. Oh, yeah, the boxer? Or the wrestler? Sorry, boxer, yeah. Is that what he meant?

In Australia, this was like, they were selling little figurines of Butterbeam. They come in little cans like that in the trailer. Oh, so we call them canna. What do we call those? They can also be called Lime Abines. Oh, Lime call them canner. What do we call those? They can also be called Lime Abbeans. Lime Abbeans are more familiar. Yeah, I think there's an Italian name for them too. And it's a beam. Yeah, full of bean. That is good. That is. And finally one last fun fact to finish off. I haven't done a fun fact in a while. Were you inspired me last

week Bob with your album? Yeah, bring them back. They're fun. off. I haven't done a fun fact in a while, but you inspired me last week, Bob, with your album, John Fun Fact.

And also segment that you like to call fact quote or question. And that is time now call fact quote or question and that is time now for fact quote or question And this week's fact quote or question comes from Fantastic listener and supporter Sarah groom

This is the first time in the fact quote or question Well, hello Sarah. It's like you've been here all along you fit in so well And you get to give yourself a title when you're giving a fact-quadal question. And Sarah's chosen the title of professional earthworm trainer. I see. I think that's one of your nicknames, isn't it, Dave? No, I don't. The earthworm. Cobra. Earthworm.

The earthworm. That's one of my best calls. Yeah. I wear that proudly. Earthworm Dave. Despite hurting my friend. Worth it! And Sarah, I might need some help from you guys.

It's sort of directed at me, but I might use your help if that's okay. Sarah's question is Matt, the man of a thousand voices. What is your most controversial noise? And alternatively, what is noise number 873? Well, you can answer that part yourself. Well, now I think Dave's got the list of, you've, Dave catalogs my, yes, no, it's,

I've sought this list, 873. You know, that is the sound of a chicken stepping on a rake. Okay, yeah, that is a good one. Frequently requested. It is. Frequently I've never done it on pod before. Not on pod. So people come up to you on the street.

In the street, I often do it at the supermarket and chicken farms. A lot of chickens won't hear that noise. I love it because it's relatable. But okay, here it is I'm sorry Sorry, sorry, sorry, I want it what happened then he is clearing your throat ready for the noise. Yeah, okay here we go I ate so many three Whoa, yeah, I closed my eyes and for a moment I forgot you were making the noise and I thought how the

fuck a did a rake get in here? Yeah. And that's girlfriend or? Secondly. It's a chicken. Damn it Matt. Dave's girlfriend is a mop. We've been over this.

Have we talked about this on the show before? I think so. Okay. That's how we talk. How we're pretty confident your girlfriend is a mop. We've been over this. Have we talked about this on the show before? I think so. Okay. That's how we do it. Yeah.

How we're pretty confident your girlfriend isn't real. We think it's a mop. Some sort of, yeah, something that stick with a mop probably makes sense because I have seen it from behind. It's a hair. Yeah. So. I'm seeing it through a window.

That's the only way you'll never, never spoken to her. She's not real. Dave's not with the window like I'll come round and pick him up. And I'm like, I'll come in. You're like, no, no, I've just got to say good-bye to my girlfriend. And then you're in the window. It turns around.

Siddler-wetted. Yeah, but I think I'm sort of myself. Yeah. I was around my back. Yeah, and I'm like, why is he got that mop on his face? We started doing that again in my house. Just turning around. I'm like, it's very funny. So, it's up love. We in my house just turning around like

It's very funny every time. So I'll say it's tough love. We in our house you mean because you live alone, you just doing that when you're forced. Made by myself. We are, we've started doing that again. We also started, uh, We made my limbs. We also started going to the bathroom with the door open. Who cares?

Who cares? No, I, of course I do. I've got two doors in my bathroom, both wide open. Two doors? Yeah. Oh my goodness, I forgot that you were staying at the rids. Haha. Bloody hell.

Yeah, the other part of that question was, what's the most question? The same noise. Yeah, is it? Yeah, right. Oh, it's absolutely. I would agree. Well, honestly, because Peter get annoyed

because I think you're actually hurting a chicken. Oh, so accurate. They think you're torturing a chicken. We've had so many complaint tweets from them. We have to, yeah, we have to keep saying I'm so sorry, but he is a master impressionist. It's just a sound effect. We have no chickens from harm to the making of that noise.

Yeah. It is strange as well, because they're assuming that like the chicken is being made to step on the road. It likes it. I mean, if you listen close to the sound, that chicken's doing it on purpose. Yeah. It's getting off on it. Yeah. It's getting off on the right. It likes it. I mean, if you listen close to the sound, that chicken's doing it on purpose. Yeah. It's getting off on it. Yeah. It's getting off on that right. It's a horny little chicken. It's a horny chicken. Yeah, very fluffy. Chicken's getting a horny. Yeah, yeah, big time. Wow.

They, they roost and they root. Good for them. They love it. All right. I love it. Oh, boy. Thanks so much for that question, Sarah Grun. Thanks, Sarah. I was a great opportunity to put that on record. Did you want to one more time? No. Okay great. I mean it's on record. Just gonna put it on.

I just rewind it. If you wanted it as a phone ring. Just loop it. Loop it. Save your run style. See you loop it going. Sure. It's hard.

Yeah. Yeah, that's, but that's in a separate section. That's where Matt and I differ. Yeah, you can't support the show and one of the, yeah, lots of different benefits. We do bonus episodes. You can vote on topics, but one of the things that we like to do

at the end of every episode is thank some of our Patreon supporters, and we're going to do that now. What a fantastic opportunity. Now, what can we give to them this week? More than gratitude. Last week we named their album, their albums. Oh, that's right. Because of the Elton John. So I guess maybe we just give it based on their town,

their place of residence. Yep. That's the that swamp, and it's the whatever of that place swamp. Yep, agree. Yep. So first up, I'd love to thank from Monroe, New York, Geno Frato. Oh, fantastic name.

So it's a man. Flamingo man. Leaving my rose. And you leave fish scales everywhere, guys. It's fresh, right? Gina, you are a character. And you know what? My name is lucky to have you.

Gina, if I tell you. I'd also love to thank from South Shields, Tynanwear in Great Britain. No doubt I've said that wrong because I think Great Britain and they pronounce the funny there, it's Jamie Collins. Jamie Collins. Hi Jamie.

South Shields Swamp. Thanks Jamie. Sounds cool. Yeah. South Shield Swamp. Thanks, Jamie. Sounds cool. Yeah. South Shield Swamp. Doesn't have to be a Swamp, I guess. No, it does. Okay.

The Reese's Pieces Monster from Kenny Swamp. Jordan Reese, that sounds delicious yet terrifying. Yeah, well, it's supposed to sound all cute because people are like, oh, I just see it's a little chocolate treats, but what it actually means is it eats pieces of people named Reese. Oh

Dear Jordan Reese is on the list. Yeah, sorry Jordan. You'd probably want to move Reese's pieces of chocolate. Yeah Sounds terrifying a chocolate peanut buttery treat They are really really nice. Yeah, I would like to think also from the United States of America from Chicago, Illinois, Ryan Cassani or Ryan Cachani. Sorry, sorry, this Ryan, but Ryan Cassani, I think I'm going to go with from Chicago, Illinois and Ryan is of course the doormouse of Chicago swamp. Oh, the doormouse.

They haven't have doors in swamps. Yeah. What is a doormouse? The door mouse of Chicago swamp. Oh, the door mouse. They haven't have doors in swamps. Yeah, what is a door mouse? It's a little mouse. Oh, like a door man at a hotel. I can never call it the door mouse because this thing appears inside places and you think how do they get in? They must have got through a small crack, like a door mouse, but then there's seven foot

tall. Oh. And they get in, so that's very easy to get in and out of places. out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like, out of like I'd like to thank from Ford in this great country's capital territory.
