The Quitted Factor, with Rhys, Derby, and David Fadriar. Hello and welcome to The Quitted Factor, the only podcast about cryptozoology. I'm Dave Fadriar. And I'm Rhys Derby. Hi! Hey Buttons, how are you? Buttons are here, of course, yes. Oh, you two guys, hi! Hey man!

Still not mentioned in the titles? Never mind, we'll move on, eh? The day you get mentioned in the titles is the day people start to switch off, I think. Mmm, it'll be a step too far. Oh no, he's an equal partner. That's it. Even though you know you're not an equal partner, you do most of the work. I've been sitting here plugging up the microphones. I've been here the earliest getting all the computers lined up. You bastards just swan on in and log in from the United States of America. And I was up at 4am as well and then I get to our sleep.

Here we go. Well look, Buttons were very appreciative of the work you do on the show. Oh, just a little name and the titles would help then, thank you. Oh, but look, I'm stating it now, you're 70% of the show. I mean, David and I, we share 15% each, but as you say, we're the swans. And now you're just the giant pond that we land on. Oh, thank you. If we weren't here, everyone would just be looking at this big dopey pond. A big dopey pond, that's the way to start a day.

Thank you. I think that sums it up quite nicely. But thank you big dopey pond for doing the stuff. Now Reese, you're in Los Angeles. How is it over there today? It's nice, clear skies, fairly hot as usual, still rock in the California dream. Oh, beautiful, beautiful. How's New Zealand? Well, it's quite cold and the sky is quite gray and we're still recovering from losing the America's Cup, which America doesn't really care about.

But over here in New Zealand is devastation. Did nobody care about us losing? I no one really knew it was on over here, but the biggest mistake we made was really losing the way we did because now it actually has hit the news. It's been on CNN with regards to the fact that it's one of the greatest sporting comebacks of all time. So it's really been sort of cemented into the Hall of Fame now of yachting. But thank God no one really pays much attention to yachting because it's not football or baseball. Easy come, well, I didn't even come, did I? Easy, easy go, easy go.

This move on. Exactly. This is a show, it's not a sports podcast. Fortunately, it's a show about cryptozoology and we sort of like to round up all the weird stuff that's going on in the world and bring that news disseminated and give it to you, the listener. So we're going to begin with a segment called Weekly World Weird News, which is probably one of the best segments ever made. Fully disseminated, disseminating. Did you know that's what we're doing?

Reese, we're disseminating right now. That's what we're doing. I've spent the last three minutes looking that up and now he's right. He's right, we're definitely disseminating. Oh, it feels good to disseminate sometimes, doesn't it? Have a quick dissemination. First thing in the morning, I have a quick disseminate while I'm in the shower. No, that's exfoliate.

That's exfoliate, that's different. Oh, okay. Weekly World Weird News. Crazy, freaky, watch out. Who wants to kick in, guys? Well, get this. Man discovers eight foot crocodile under his bed. What?

Yeah, let's do headlines. What do you guys got? Cappelfind horse on the Garajroof. What? Wow. That's freaky. That is pretty freaky. I've got Rapstar sees UFO.

Good God. What? That just makes it so much more believable because the Rapstar saw one. They speak up the truth. They do. That's going to hold up in court. Judge, listen, he's a Rapstar. Oh, is he?

Okay, okay. No, that's fair enough then. I mean, they don't exaggerate anything, do they? Legit, too legit to quit. This is a good Rapstar. That is a believable one. Well, I know my horse on the Garajroof is real because it's come from unexplainedmystories.com. Oh, which is, which is credible, a credible website.

A couple in New Brunswick were shocked when they found an animal standing on the roof one morning. That animal was a horse. Having raised horses themselves, Stephen and Pat Downey were no strangers to the sight of horses around the property. But finding one perched on the roof was a spectacle none of them would have ever expected to see. The animal had somehow managed to jump over three feet onto the roof during the night and stood there until the morning. And instead of climbing back down, simply moved up higher onto the roof. What I don't like about this article is they don't explain how they got the bloody thing down. Which is what you want to know.

That is actually what I'd like to know most of all. I assume they wooed it down with a carrot or a sugar cube, whatever you feed horses. But I don't know, having a horse on the roof can't be too good for the roof. I'd also like to point out that it was only three foot that I had to get up onto the roof. So it was obviously a very small, a very, very, very tiny garage. Or one of those ones that goes down under the ground or something. Because three foot, I mean, that's quite an easy, easy step really I would have thought for a horse. It's not like this is a garage that's stuck out in the middle of nowhere and it's about ten foot high.

If you saw a horse on top of that in the morning you'd think, wow, that's definitely Twilight Zone. But one that's under your three foot step, I can see how the horse would probably get up there for some reason or another. It's the fact that he just stayed there all night and didn't have the nouns to work out how to get back down. What I've actually done while you've been sort of disseminating that, because you're right, three feet isn't actually that incredible. I jumped onto another website to look further into this. You know, on Atlantic CBS News, and they managed to hurt him off the far side of the roof using a long pole. That's awesome. So if you get a horse on your roof, just whip out a pole, give it a poke.

What did they do with the pole? Just sort of subtly poke him from the side, did they? Frustratingly, they don't say what they did with the pole. They just said they used a pole. That's weird to get him off. Is it a bit like collecting leaves from a pole, you know, with one of those massive poles with a net on the end of it? It's very unusual. They sort of poke it to him and go, come on, move off the roof. I'm here with the pole here. Just move off. Come on. That's not where you should be. Now, why do you think the horse was up there? I know you're wondering this, but don't worry, this article covers it off.

A quote from the Downies. I think he was just bored. Do you think the Downies? Do they call the Downies? I'm interviewing Downies now to get quotes. I think he was just bored. He's here alone and he's not usually alone. He's like a two or three year old kid and he was just looking for some excitement and he got into trouble like a regular kid would do. Oh man.

So there you go. Don't make your horse get bored. Is this the Downie? Yes, this is Mr. Downie. That's an unfortunate name. Hey, you on the horse. You on the roof. Get Downie. What should I get? Would you like me to get Mr. Downie? I'm going to get the pole. I'm getting the pole out. How long is the pole? Is it an official pole? Can you buy those poles? It doesn't say. Now, I'm just going to give you a little, you can't see this photo on here, Rhys, because we're in New Zealand and you're in LA, but I'm just going to show you the photo.

This is an amazing site where it climbed up to. Oh my God, that is awesome. Here, show Rhys. Oh, we can show you through the camera. I can see that if you show. Okay. So which, which, which building there is it? That's a huge house, which is, which is the part where he climbed up on the lean to bit. Can you see the horse on there? You can see him off to the side. Standing there. All right. Oh my gosh. No, he is really way up there.

He climbed service. He did a little jump up on the low bit and then just went all the way out. Oh, that's a good shot of it there. Yeah, that is, that is quite Twilight Zone segment. It would freak you out a little bit. It would be even more, it would be even more weird if it wasn't their horse. In seeing that photo, they didn't own a horse. In fact, didn't have any horses. What it looks like to me, what actually, can I theorize on that for a second? What it looks like to me is that because the roof of the garage leans up to then windows on the house,

which look like the bedroom windows of the house, it looks like it's possible that it may have been a mafia kind of warning gone wrong. You know how they chop off the horse's head and put it in bed next to you. Maybe they got it up and thought, well, it's too hard to carry the bloody horse. I thought it was easy to chop it off on the roof. Wow, you think about it. If you got it up there and you chopped it off on the roof, then you just chuck it in the window to the bed. One of the worst theories I've ever heard. It's not a bad one though, you've got to say.

I think a better theory would be to say that perhaps the horse is having an affair with the young daughter in the house. And the horse was trying to get up into its bedroom. Perhaps the horse had got up onto the roof and was about to sing a song or something to the girl. What do you call it when you... Serenade someone. Serenade, that's the one. Perhaps Serenade the young daughter. It might have probably woken her up in the night and given her a real freak out.

I think that is actually much... Stop horsing around! Don't you dare say that's a better story. I'd say that is a better story than a mafia boss going. I think instead of chopping off the sources hidden carrying it with us, it's much easier if we get the live horse, drag him up on the roof alive and chop the head off outside the window. Favoritism, my theory was completely plausible. I think it's time to move on.

You're sleeping in the bed and you can hear outside the window the horse and a couple of dudes with it while they saw its head off right outside your window. Oh yeah, that can't be anything. Surely they're not going to... That's not someone soaring a head's horse off and they're going to pass it through the window onto my bed. Okay. Surely that's not the mafia. Fair enough.

I really do. Especially if you're like a drug dealer that owns horses. You know, it's more plausible. You wouldn't do it just outside the person's window. Okay, we've got a lot of... Witch, witch, witch, witch, witch! We've got a lot of news to get through guys. Okay, look, it's time to move on from this horsey tale.

It's your fault. I told you about this man who discovered an eight foot crocodile under his bed. You heard about this. Wow, we are now. You heard me mention this. Oh yeah, I did. Yeah, we definitely did. Well, it's Guy Whittle.

Guy Whittle and he managed to sleep for the entire night with the enormous reptile directly beneath him. Why? What's going on? Well, the peculiar incident took place at Humani Lodge in Zimbabwe where the 40 year old had gone to bed blissfully unaware that a massive crocodile had gotten to the house and had settled down for the night directly underneath his bed, just inches away from him. Wow. God. And get this.

Whittle, I mean, you know, this is in Zimbabwe. This is out in the Wapcax and there's animals everywhere. You know, there's obviously a river and things and so there's probably commonplace. It's wandering around. But you wouldn't expect one to wander into the house and get under the bed. He didn't find out about the beast until the following morning when a housemaid who had gone to clean up the room came across it and started screaming. Oh.

330 pound reptile believed to have come from the nearby Turgway River. Good God. That's scary. You got to check under the bed as an adult. Yeah, always look under the bed. If you're in Zimbabwe. Before you go to bed. Just have a check under it.

You should know that from being a kid in case there's any boogie men under there or any openings to another realm. That's what perpetuates the whole monster under the bed syndrome for children, isn't it? Because it actually does happen. People think no monsters under the bed. That is literally a monster under a bed. Yeah. But how horrifying is that? Can you imagine a sleep at night and then every now and again you might get a little bit of a woken up

by hearing a sort of, you know, some sort of, well, obviously a crocodilian sort of grumbling sound. But what the hell is the crocodile? He's just under there. What was he doing? Having a nap? I mean, what's the crocodile doing under there? It's so bizarre. The worst part is he got up this guy and he was sitting on the edge of his bed in his bare feet.

You know, just literally centimetres away from this thing. And get this. He was, he had to get up, you know, to go for a pee and he was sitting on the edge of his bed and just looking around and going, where the hell is my bloody crocs? You know, I couldn't need it to go. You're going to be done. You're going to need them. Please, Wayne.

Terrible. That just happened. Terrible. I made that last bit up, obviously, but you know, you can't not put that in. What a journalist said to his editor. I couldn't not put that wrong bit in. It's too good. You can't do that story without putting that joke in.

You've got to put that in, all right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course you do. You can do, you know, the best thing about the story is no one was hurt. You know, the croc was coaxed out. With a long pole. You know, so we just got a great story with it. With no, with no injury. So it's good to have a bit of fun with that.

Oh, yeah. Of course it is. My bit of news now, I've got a confession to make. I read this story like a few days ago. And when we were reading out the comments just then, I had sort of had to just quickly sort some technical stuff out. And I forgot. But it's not a big deal.

It's not a big deal. It's just some technical stuff out. And I forgot. But it's not actually a rap star. It's an NBA basketball star who saw a UFO. Bit of racial profiling going on there. Well, no, it's just rap. No, no.

Was it Michael Jordan or Fittyscent? I can't remember. Something in common. He was a cool, he was a cool black guy with a cap on his head after the side saying he had a bit of jewellery. So I'm guessing, you know, he's a very, very tall, but I made the assumption that he's definitely got to be a rapper. Wow.

That's cool. It's just the language he uses. I remember reading the language he uses. It sounded very rap star. Totally. Easy mistake to make. So what is this basketball scene? Okay, so I've got to read this story.

And I've got some audio to play as well. If we, if we feel like that's a, that's a good idea. Sounds great. Okay, here's the story. Baron Davis, who's a player for NBA, for the, for a team that plays basketball. Brilliant. He's one of the plays for one of the teams.

Does he? It's good. How good is that? Keep this information coming through. He's on a team. He's on a team. Okay, here we go. I need to pause.

I've got too much information coming through. I have to disseminate quickly. I'm just quickly disseminating. You can see this on your screen. For some reason, Button has this up on two screens. He's got the new story on a laptop, and he's now looking at it on his phone as well. Well, the one on the laptop doesn't tell me

what team he plays for. I listen and got myself in the ship because I said, and he plays for, and then it didn't say it in that article. I've got my, it says it on my phone. You could have just made it up. You should have just made it up. Oh, should we start? We'll start this bit again.

Okay, so there was an NBA rap star. Okay, so, Baron Davies, he plays for the New York Necks. Okay, correct. One of my favorite teams. Little factoid in there. Yup, there you go. He claims he was abducted by aliens during a recent drive.

Oh, he's abducted now. Well, he saw it and then it abducted him. Wow. That's a bigger headline for the story rather than I saw a UFO. And then a couple of sentences in, he's been abducted. Surely that should outweigh

the sighting. Well, see, the rap slash NBA star and the saw slash abducted parts both got a bit jumbled in the last couple of days. But, you know, I'm back on form now.

Which is good, eh? Um, Shall I continue? No, please. Tell us more. Okay, here we go. NBA star Baron Davies claims he was abducted by aliens during a recent drive

in the Californian desert. The New York Necks player told hip hop website. Oh, this guy's writers. There's who I got it from, see. I can't, it happens. If you've got some alien news, make sure that's the first pointer call.

A hip hop website. Yeah. Yo, what's up? Welcome to the hip hop. Hip hop hooray. It's 12 o'clock today and we've got some of the big homeboys in the town and they're seeing some UFOs, yo. Yo, what up was that?

What was that? My homeboy phones are next. Yeah, yeah, I know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying? I seen the aliens, man. I seen the aliens and they take me up, man. They take me up as a beam, yo. Whoa, they take you up as a beam, man.

Damn straight. Oh, my God, that was amazing. That was like, we were almost there. Huh. Okay, do you want to hear the actual... It's the first quarter. Okay, let's hear how it was actually, what it actually sounded like.

For real and see how close it is to your one. You ready? Narrow it down. How long do you think it'll be before there is an equality? An equality, man. There's aliens taking us. They're abducted by aliens like two weeks ago.

Is that right? Yeah. I was on my way from Vegas here to LA and I'm driving, you know, like the windy, the windy road when you're coming in, like that's like almost like crazy slang. So I'm a little tired and shit and I see this light and this big ass truck, you know,

like, oh fuck, like it's going to be traffic and I was just driving, driving in. Next thing you know, dude, like, I was in this fucking like steel thing and this fucking crazy looking people like half human, half like fucking ugly motherfuckers. It's like...

We don't know if you're being serious now. Up until this point, you've been such a cogent and they've been right down the middle poking me on my nose and shit. See? Yeah, legit, legit. Poking him on his nose. Poking on his nose and shit.

Shit. And it just, just added swearing really, wasn't it? I forgot to put in a few motherfuckers. Yeah, see, that's, that's how you got to do it. Hang on, and he, he goes on, hang on. They had my hands like tied up and the next thing you know, like I was

fucking in Montabello, dude, like burning rubber on the way back to LA. It was like four o'clock in the morning. What it, see? Wow. He's like just cut, now out of the belief scale how much would you believe that?

I mean, I like that he came out of nowhere with that story. He didn't, he was obviously up until that point and just been talking about basketball and his love of rap music and that sort of thing and then suddenly he's comes out with that. So I don't know, I mean, it's a... I'd like to know a bit more context,

I think, to the situation. Well, he says, I mean, he said in there, he saw a light and it's like he thought it was a big fucking truck and I said, oh fuck, this is going to be traffic, he said. Driving, driving.

Who's he talking to there? I don't know. To himself? To himself. No, to the radio and he says, driving, driving and the next thing you know, there's a still thing and all these crazy looking people, half human, ugly looking motherfuckers.

So that sounds to me like a fair description of exactly what happens when you get alien abducted. Yeah. Absolutely, you know why I find it believable? Because I mean, it's not the sort of thing you would brag about, especially if you're a cool basketballer

playing for the Knicks. Why would you want to lose your credibility and be a laughing stock? And he's done it on a hip hop website, you know, obviously I was who, you know, is listened to by a lot of cool people.

So it's kind of like, wow, he's either really joking and he's a good actor and he's just having a real subtle dig there for some or it actually happened and and he's gone to, he's chosen that source as opposed to, you know, a new source.

He's making a very, he's like he's just gone and happened and oh well, just going to get over these things and move on. And maybe that's the way you have to be when you get alien abducted. Don't go all mental and, you know, but you want to make stuff out of your mashed potatoes.

Well, you know, it's usually, to be fair, for my studies, it's usually sort of, you know, white guys from the middle of nowhere who are highly strung, freaking out or, you know, divorces or have got, you know, a lot of

issues. It's never an African American high profile basketball cool dude. So it's kind of, it's interesting just to get his perspective on it if it in fact is true, there doesn't even seem to be

any sort of fear in his voice. You know, he just said they were ugly looking motherfuckers. Yeah, that's the way to be. I think it's an interesting take and I, but to that end, I've also heard that

when the experience does happen, you're not filled with fear. The idea of it is very scary, but these people that have been abducted say that, you know, it's a controlled environment and that they can sense what's

going on and fear isn't one of the overpowering emotions and I think this is because if you did have that, you know, if we happen to have three you know weak-willed geeky white guys,

I think we'd be screaming our fucking heads off and trying to find the exit. Where's the exit shoe? Get me out! I'd be yelling for my wife. So perhaps that's why we haven't been taken up. Taken up? I want to be taken up,

please. Please take me up. We need to be we need to be more with it, you know, and stronger-willed, you know. You're right. You're bloody right. I think we've learned a lot from this new segment. If you want to get a horse

down from a roof, just grab a pole. That basketball players aren't immune from being abducted. And that... What else have we learned? I was just going to say that we've also learned

that just because it's a hip-hop website doesn't mean it's full of the usual lingo and expressiveness that you might think goes hand-in-hand with the culture. Wow, that's

an easy assumption. After reading that and giving it three or four days, you could be forgiven eh? I'm forgiven, aren't I? We forgive you. We forgive you. I've also learned, of course, not to go to sleep without checking under the bed first, especially

if you're in Zimbabwe. Give your bed a quick check. Especially if you're out in the middle of, you know, in Zimbabwe, near a river. Just have a quick check. Have a quick peek under. Have a quick little check under the hidey-hole. Now, this is a show

about cryptozoology, and I think it's important that we hit on some crypto news. What do you reckon? That's a good idea. That's sort of a subtle illusion to getting the sting up for cryptid buzz-o, which will launch us into the next part.

Are you ready for this? I'm so ready. Attention, all personnel, it's time for this week's cryptid buzz. Good day. Wow, that's a great sting. Thank you. Now look, a lot's been going on in the world of cryptid news this week.

The main thing that I found fascinating is that Attenborough, one of the best naturalists in the world, has come out saying he believes the Yeti could well be real. What? Now, often the people saying that the Yeti's real,

you know, they're not always the people you want to say that, because often, so as Rhys mentioned with the UFO lot, often they're sort of divorces in the middle of Texas. But when you've got Sir David Attenborough coming along saying that the Yeti might be a real creature, that's pretty cool. He's 87 now

and he's been quoted on a UK TV program that hasn't been out yet, but it's in pre-production. He says, I believe the abominable snowman may be real. I think there may be something in that. The footprints that stretch for hundreds of miles, and we know that in the 1930s a German fossil was found with these huge

molars. There were four or five times the size of human molars. They had to be the molars of a large ape, one that was huge, about 12 feet tall. It was immense. If you walk the Himalayas, like I have, these immense forests that go on for hundreds of square miles

that could hold the Yeti. So there you go, Sir David Attenborough. He's a believer. Well done, Sir David. He's joined us. Because what he's done there is he's given credibility to

the entire genre of cryptozoology. Big time. There's no one really of his profile on this planet that has had the experiences that he's had with the animal world.

And he's so respected and he's seen it all. And the evidence is there with all the great shows he's made and he's a very, very smart man. And so it's people like him that just, I mean Jane Goodall is another one. She's

put her hand up and said these things could exist. And even other TV personalities like Survivor Man Bear Grills these guys they too have said, hey, I'm not willing to say that it doesn't exist

or that it's a joke. And most of these options have been with Yeti and Sasquatch. And the baseline to it is the overpowering existence of evidence

in terms of eyewitness accounts and footprints. And yes, you know, there's very few video footage or even photography. But that's, people are so obsessed with wanting that, with wanting videos

and wanting photography. That's the answer. There's no other answer apart from a body. But we've got to remember that these creatures can smell us coming a mile away and can just evade us.

Yeah, they've got cover. They've got cover. Has that embraced it? Yeah. So that's really good news and it gives our show more credibility. And I've heard in the past that he had had that viewpoint. And so

it's great to get it out there again for those that didn't know already that he believes. And I'll tell you who else believes. Brian Blessed. Really? No way. Brian Blessed, Hawkman

from Flash Gordon. No way. Oh, that's kind of cool. That's awesome. Yeah, he believes. He's written a book. He's written a book about it. He's actually been on expeditions. And it seems to be, it's the

Himalayas. It's the Yeti itself that really captures most of the imagination from people who like to cross over that line between science fact

and science fiction. Hope. Science hope. It's a new genre. That is. I love it. You own that now. It's great. You know what else

has come to light this week is this map. You know, 92 years of Bigfoot sightings in the US and Canada. And this Chaps put all the sightings together 3,313 reports

and he's put all the sightings and he's lit up an amazing map which covers all the sightings that have ever been in the last 92 years. So you can see how spread out

you know the sightings are just lost my brain there for a couple of seconds. It's cool though, right? It looks kind of amazing that map. I love it. Yeah, so if you haven't seen this map you should check it out. I don't know what website you could go to

try joshuastevens.net All right. Josh has been busy mapping. He made that. Good on him. The first thing you can see from this is that the sightings are not evenly distributed.

At first glance it looks like a map of population distribution. But there are distinct regions where the sightings are incredibly common despite a very sparse population. On the other hand, in some of the most densely populated areas

Sasquatch sightings are exceedingly rare. This is from his words here, from his side. So check it out. On the map, can you tell us where they are most densely populated? Which part

of America can you tell us that it's really got them all? Definitely the west coast. The west side sort of from, there's nothing down the middle basically. There's the odd spot down the middle America.

But on the very east coast, up towards Canada, there's a lot. And then on the west, a lot of it's on the west. The amazing thing is how many there are. I mean this thing is lit up, like you say.

It's like an aerial view from a satellite at night of the states. It's just lit up. So many, so many people have sighted this stuff. I was thinking before when you were saying about the finding a body and finding the remains.

If you were to say of all of the bodies found, human bodies, you don't find human bodies lying around when you go bushwalking, do you? But I mean we bury out, we go out and we find our dead bodies and we take them back and we bury them and we give them ceremonies and what

have you. Who's to say they don't? So even though there's that many have been sighted. You know? There's been some hunters that have seen a Sasquatch, that's where they've seen one, have been confronted with the idea

of shooting one. But have stalled at the point of which they believe the creature is too human. And so therefore you won't even raise a gun because you see the face and the features

and you think to yourself, well I'm not going to commit murder. It's just inherently wrong. It's more human than it is animal. So it's kind of like when you look at it that way, which is very understandable as to why these creatures haven't been shot.

You can also believe that if they've got human characteristics they're probably going out there. Any of their own kind that dies of whatever it is they will be brought back to I was going to say the village but brought back to

wherever the big foots are nesting at that particular point and will probably be taken care of in some sort of you know, big foot ceremony. We should find out whether there's other animals that have some sort of

ritualistic ceremony within their species. That would be interesting to see. That would be I don't think I don't know if there's many if any, but I'm sure as hell would like to know. I bet there are

at least in the primate world or birds you know, certain certain species probably probably show compassion and for their family

for members and they can tell when someone's died and do something about it rather than just what we imagine which is just ignore it and keep looking for food. We don't give animals enough credit.

Totally. I'm just having a quick look online here. BBC's got a great feature about how elements had a big ceremony when one of their kind died and they had like a big parade going on. Dolphins as well, do some pretty

trippy stuff. So animals definitely are aware of death. So if you've got a high level primate like a Sasquatch obviously there's a chance that they are going to I think that's a good theory you've come up with a good theory. Earlier terrible theory about the beheading

of the horse and some sort of mafia tie-in but that theory about Bigfoot was bloody good. Thank you very much no elephants actually they have those natured documentaries and a baby elephant will die or be shot and the mum will just stand

there next to the baby for days. So grief. If a Bigfoot goes missing and then what the rest of the other Bigfoots aren't going to miss it and want to go and find its body and bury it like the rest of humans do

it's crazy. So that's my cryptid news there was that in bro? I've got nothing else. That's all I've got. That's brilliant. There's a Bigfoot print found in an Ohio backyard. Yeah.

Add normally large footprint some believe belongs to a Bigfoot has been discovered in a northern Ohio backyard and the resident there it's Ash Tabula County the lady

Wendy she was asked to to have her last name with held because she's not sure whether she wants to be involved with this whole Bigfoot scenario she's heard the mocking that could come from it or in fact even the

these Bigfooters knocking on the door and harassing her for some more evidence or something so she's keeping quiet. She's calling herself Wendy and on August the 11th she noticed just a 7.5 inch wide footprint

that was an inch and a half deep in the mud and she's quoted here I took a picture to show my mother's husband who's a hunter and he said it wasn't a humans I'm not claiming that the footprint to be anything I just

I don't know that it is but she's definitely come forward and has now shown in the footprint there's a photo of it that's pretty big what would you do if you walked out the back of your normal we house you've got no family members

no friends that want to prank you like that you know you're just from a normal we family and you walk out the back of your house and there's a massive believable print that looks so legit like just exactly the same as if somebody had walked in your backyard but it's massive

the first thing you do is you look back on you know the last two years of of what's happened in that vicinity of the place and you know if there's been any suspicious behavior we can you know you recall on her you know was anything else happened lately that I can

you know and this woman here Wendy recalls multiple incidents in the past five years in which she and her husband have come across something not human she said she hears knocking sounds walls of their house

late at night knocking sounds now if she's not a massive crypto zoologist how would she know about the fact that the communication method of big footage to knock on wood it's true knocking yeah and she remembers a time when she saw a figure

in all black running across the railroad tracks so that's the that's the typical kind of eye witness account too a big creature all in all in black you can't really describe what it is it's just you see this black creature

the direction they were going there were no homes it would have gone out the woods cross the tracks and gone back into the woods another quote and that's that was a real actual quote and see the thing is

I can see exactly why she hasn't put her name made her name public because you imagine the first thing I want to do is go and hang out at her house and just sit around and just wait to see the thing because clearly she's in a hot spot that's amazing well according to the

Bigfootfield researchers organization Ohio has logged more than 242 sightings since 1974 so she's in the she's in the zone and she's one of the lucky ones that has happened to her she's got a footprint there next time she hears some knocking hopefully

she'll go out and just take a selfie picture good god see cryptozoology it's alive and well could be happening in your neighborhood just got to keep an eye out so good hey it reminds me what's round on the outside and high in the

middle what's round on the outside and high in the middle Ohio very good this is pretty good hey and that was that was worth waiting for anyone that was thinking when's the next joke coming out from

from buttons there it is that's I've been holding that one up for years I read that one when I was about eight years old knowing that'll come in handy it's a classic and it's finally come out I mean you've been waiting years for that to

to make its way to the year I saw his little face getting excited during that during that talk he was giving and that's why that is why he's waiting to land that little joke little it's a it's more of a riddle really isn't it it's a riddle be this

it's a riddle joke alright guys I've got another eyewitness account here if you want to do the do the sting eyewitness account it sounds like a bloody great idea okay are you ready for this haven't haven't played this one for a little while as well

this little this little sting so here we go standing by oh what have you got there oh great another eyewitness account Debbie Sherman Debbie Sherman was driving home early Monday morning after a night

of playing cards with friends when she saw something moving across the field at first the Geneva resident could not make out the object I thought it was a dirt bike she said then I saw it was massive in size

standing on two feet and it was it was standing tall really tall so no idea why she originally thought it was a dirt bike anyway Sherman said she saw a big foot also known as Sasquatch

an ape like creature that some people believe live in the forests of North America I was driving west it was on the north side of Route 20 before North Ridge taxidermy and that's an actual place taxidermy

it's not that's not the that's not the art of stuffing animals yes it is well yeah it is but it's also a place it's both it's but it's both a place and also it's the art the art form of stuffing animals stuffing animals that's right

but for this example it's actually a place she didn't really believe in the existence of a big foot I was driving and he was coming sideways from me she said he was big and hairy and muscular I slowed down thinking he was

he was going to collide and all of a sudden he was gone Sherman holds a steady job she should know that she keeps to herself and her family so she keeps to herself but also to her family

and she was a little uneasy about coming forward with her big foot story when she got home around 3.20 am precisely one of those things you log you know when you come home quick check the time write it 3.20 shit that's late what have I done

well you know how those card evenings go hard can go on forever can't it especially if you've got the ace at the end of you anyway she went on the internet when she got home as you do at that time probably bought a couple of things on

ebay that she didn't need and then she contacted Doug Waller of the south east Ohio society for big foot investigation or sospy through the organization's facebook page she was there she was pretty shook up Waller said

most people don't expect to see something like that you know especially on the way home from a card evening the sospy started in 2008 with the intent to give people an opportunity not only to say sospy but also to talk freely about big foot

that's just a great no I mean a sospy sospy investigators Steve Blair and Rich Washington drove to say Brook Township to check into Sherman's sighting the pair made contact with the land owner received permission to look

which is always important and they found some tangible evidence they found tracks in the range of about 17 inches long and 8 inches wide one track was in the mud you can see something you know walk through here through the mud

they also found what looked like a nesting area Waller said Sherman isn't the first Asher Tabala county resident to see big foot one was spotted there in March another sighting occurred in March

alongside Interstate 90 near Geneva and a man described a big foot near Geneva in 2011 Sherman said one of her relatives said he encountered a big foot in 1985

near whispering willow mobile homes in Harper's Field Township at the time she was skeptical she said and this is a quote and here she is now

I'm not so sure there we go there we go there we go there it is there it is that's taken from starbeacon.com

which is a fantastic website I say fantastic and I don't mean it we're honest on this podcast but anyway it happened if it happened to you and you're offended

by my impression of you I'm sorry it can't be it can't be offended by that that was a fantastic I would love to be you like me do an impression of you

not right now I would love to be and I actually do a really good impression that's not how it is that's not how it is I don't know if you can that's not how it is

oh my god and so loud as well he's so bloody loud I'm not loud you know what you don't think people don't do impressions of me on a fucking daily basis some people have made a life of taking choice

to I know what happens and I know behind my back everyone's laughing so I don't give a fuck I don't give a flying fuck I'll do whatever I like I'll impress whoever I like

nobody nobody does an impression of you not like I've heard about it on the internet that's fine because what they say

is something is the closest form of flattery I can't remember the saying now what does it say? imitation is the closest form of flattery isn't it? something like that

it's the sincerest form of flattery someone just said that so they didn't get offended but we've learned a lot today we've learned about the world of weirdness, cryptozoology and I think we've learned a bit about ourselves as well I learnt a lot about myself

I learnt that I'm a big dumb pond so that was good I'm glad I learnt that that's one of the best descriptions of someone as a pond so boring I'm glad you guys are swans though shitting in my just doing the odd

crap in my pond but you're solid and you're deep man you're not a fly ponds aren't known for their ponds are known for their able to wade through kind of shellowness

in a sort of stinky demeanour you're a deep pond man thank you bro, thank you so much well look we're tight with eels in a day, electric eels yeah giving you a bit of a thrill when you want it I thought, I just wanted to, I didn't know we would fit this into the show I just wanted to quickly mention this little bit of pop trivia

pop trivia we don't have a sting for pop trivia pop trivia, pop trivia handed around unreality magazine has got a really good feature about movies that you think are sci-fi films or fantasy films but they're actually based

on real events and the one that struck me was The Blob of course Steve McQueen is one of his infamous possibly his first feature I'm not sure but anyway The Blob amazing film

but believe it or not The Blob is based on an incident in the late 1950s when Philadelphia policemen stumbled on a quivering purple lump that had crash landed in a field what according to the responding officers the mess was like a giant glowing jelly ball

which left a sticky residue when touched because of course the first thing you do when encountering mysterious plutonium blob is shove your hands in it but the point is there was a blob and I just thought I'd leave you with that when you're watching films sometimes wikipedia find out if they're actually based on real events

because The Blob was but did it then consumer city and I don't think people so were you wikipedia artistic license but the point is there was an unusual big blob

found in a field glowing though glowing what sort of blob glows that's the question but of course Tremors was based on the idea of the Mongolian death worm totally big earthworms roaming around underground

servicing to kill people and animals so look food for thought, we like to keep you thinking on this show and I think we've done that today they should really have a category based on a true story they should say something along the lines on movies like that

based on something wikipedia that's almost similar to the storyline inspired by an actual event that has nothing to do with the actual plot

loosely based on something I heard my friend say that his granddad had heard from someone that he met in the war that possibly didn't happen because you know he was incarcerated but he needed an excuse

it's not quite the same is it he really put a magnifying glass on it then it'll heat up good factoid though, good pop quiz pop tart, what was it a pop what was that segment called that little pop trivia so there you have it

it was a pop moment rewind and check it out it was a good one yeah I listened to that one a couple of times that was ace alright look guys, I gotta go because I've just had some

busy stuff to do here now so it's been awesome as always have a wonderful week in LA we'll tune in, we'll catch up next week thanks for tuning into the podcast up on Soundcloud, up on iTunes I don't know how you listen to it but thanks for listening and we'll

be back again shortly bye keep your eye on the sky and your ear on the hip hop stations thanks for watching see you soon
