Speaker 2: Guys, sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey.
Speaker 4: The program you were about to see concerns the mysterious
Speaker 4: deaths and mutilations of animal in the United States and
Speaker 4: other parts of the world. Due to the graphic nature
Speaker 4: of some scenes, Parental guidance for children is advised.
Speaker 5: Hello everyone, and thank you for tuning in to the
Speaker 5: first ever episode of a Strange Thing podcast. Hello, Hello, Hello,
Speaker 5: I am Austin and I Mike, and together we are
Speaker 5: the strange guys, strange guys.
Speaker 3: Who happen to be the host.
Speaker 6: We're the hosts.
Speaker 3: We didn't practice. We're a host of this Strange Thing podcast. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So a Strange Thing podcast is about what.
Speaker 5: Strange things that happen in your life. Maybe some strange,
Speaker 5: nefarious cult stuff, maybe some aliens, maybe some cryptozoology, or
Speaker 5: maybe just deja vu or everyday things that you might
Speaker 5: come across.
Speaker 3: So it could be a story about bigfoot feet, it
Speaker 3: could be anything strange nice. Right, So our concept of
Speaker 3: a strange thing is that anything that is strange is
Speaker 3: fair game. It could be the typical strange things like
Speaker 3: UFOs or cattle mulations or sasquatch, you know that kind
Speaker 3: of stuff.
Speaker 5: Or it could be strange people, strange people, strange situations
Speaker 5: that you and I seem to get ourselves into pretty regularly.
Speaker 3: Yes, strange dreams, strange you know, anything that is strange
Speaker 3: that's off that maybe people would like to hear about,
Speaker 3: or maybe they've experienced somewhat themselves.
Speaker 5: Strange topics of discussion, right.
Speaker 3: And so that's kind of our premise. We're going to
Speaker 3: talk about a lot of strange things, and we're going
Speaker 3: to start out with the first strangest thing, cattle mutilation.
Speaker 3: And we're not talking about like, you know, a down
Speaker 3: cow out in the field. We're a butchered cow or
Speaker 3: butchered cowers. Well, you know, I guess they actually were butchered.
Speaker 5: That's a fairy way full way to butcher an animal.
Speaker 3: Well, butcher doesn't necessarily mean that they're harvested, that's true,
Speaker 3: I guess. Yeah, we're talking about a kind of mutilation
Speaker 3: that has some very unique components.
Speaker 1: To it and possibly very netharious.
Speaker 3: Now, just as a warning, kind of like the little
Speaker 3: audio clip in the intro, this this topic gets a
Speaker 3: little bit freaky, gets a little bit gross, and we're
Speaker 3: going to talk about some explicit things that happens to
Speaker 3: some of these cattle. So if you're easily disturbed, well you.
Speaker 6: Are affiliated with PETA.
Speaker 3: Listen anyway, and then deal with it with your counselor.
Speaker 5: Yeah there you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, talk to your
Speaker 5: counselor about a strange thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't want to protect you from something you
Speaker 3: might be very important for you to know in the future,
Speaker 3: ye never know, that's come in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, flying cows.
Speaker 5: But before we do all that, we're going to talk
Speaker 5: a little little bit about us and what this podcast is.
Speaker 3: All about and how the podcast came to be. Speaking
Speaker 3: of Witch, we are about strange things. And for those
Speaker 3: of you who think we're copying stranger things, We've got
Speaker 3: a story to tell you.
Speaker 1: We're not.
Speaker 3: We're not. We predate them.
Speaker 6: We do.
Speaker 3: They copied us, they for sure did. For sure did.
Speaker 3: They loved us, they wanted us. They copied us, which
Speaker 3: I guess is.
Speaker 6: Is the best form of flattery.
Speaker 1: Batterie, that's right.
Speaker 3: So there you go, there we go.
Speaker 5: It all started when we moved from southern Idaho.
Speaker 3: To Boise, which is a little more western.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and uh, we were looking at a few houses,
Speaker 5: living in a trailer park down by the river.
Speaker 3: We were, for real, we were.
Speaker 5: And in the garage was a Volkswagen thing, anyone Voltswagen thing,
Speaker 5: that's right. It was white and it had an original
Speaker 5: orange paint that you could barely make through the white.
Speaker 5: And the guy who owned it before us had used
Speaker 5: it in Arizona to haul run.
Speaker 3: And you know, honestly, he had painted the white with
Speaker 3: a roller brush over the words. Yeah, it was bad
Speaker 3: and it had a rebar bumper it did. Yeah, Custen
Speaker 3: made rebar poorly welded bumper. Yeah, with two like chain hooks,
Speaker 3: pat and a shovel and a shovel. Yeah, it was goofy.
Speaker 6: Anyway, we saw this thing and this thing it didn't run.
Speaker 5: And we were like, that would be cool to drive
Speaker 5: around this weird part of the country and look at
Speaker 5: these strange things, like we've got bigfoot pretty close. We've
Speaker 5: got all kinds of cattle mutilations. We've got el chipicabra
Speaker 5: if you go south.
Speaker 6: It's kind of back then.
Speaker 3: We're talking. We're talking two thousand and seven, two thousand
Speaker 3: and eight. This is pre podcast Well, I mean, podcasts
Speaker 3: were happening, but they were they were brand news. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they weren't really known as podcasts back then.
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't know.
Speaker 6: But anyway, we were going to do.
Speaker 3: Like a video series of our exploits out in the wilderness.
Speaker 3: We were going to video, we were going to edit them,
Speaker 3: we were going to put them on well, it wasn't
Speaker 3: even really YouTube back then.
Speaker 5: Basically was we were going to have a website that
Speaker 5: would give us kind of a fun and lighthearted reason
Speaker 5: to go explore wilderness and entertain our own weird and
Speaker 5: share our imaginations.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and share our adventures with people who were dumb
Speaker 3: enough to sit there and watch it. So anyway, that
Speaker 3: strange thing, that Volkswagen thing that was in the garage
Speaker 3: that we negotiated into the purchase price of our house,
Speaker 3: became the basically the thing that got us thinking about
Speaker 3: creating a Strange Thing podcast. And so right then and
Speaker 3: there went out and we found a domain. We registered
Speaker 3: a domain wwwastrange thing dot com. We did this in
Speaker 3: like two thousand and eight or two thousand and nine,
Speaker 3: and that is the birth of a Strange Thing pre
Speaker 3: Stranger Things, yes, from Netflix, but before eleven, all of.
Speaker 6: That, yeah, pre that, pre that, pre that.
Speaker 3: So we thought, hey, we're gonna go out, we're gonna
Speaker 3: investigate stuff. We're gonna go out and we're gonna share adventures.
Speaker 3: And then we got busy with life and you graduated
Speaker 3: high school and graduated college and got married, had kids
Speaker 3: all it became a grandfather.
Speaker 1: I didn't.
Speaker 5: I didn't become a ground.
Speaker 3: I became a grandfather because of you and because of
Speaker 3: my daughter, who is pretty cool daughter and has some
Speaker 3: pretty cool grandkids too, So I've got I've got right
Speaker 3: now three grandchildren and one more up and the other
Speaker 3: one the one on the way. It is a strange thing.
Speaker 5: Basically, we're using this platform of podcasting, which is a
Speaker 5: great way to communicate to satisfy our own selfish desires
Speaker 5: to drive around, drink some beer and explore some crazy
Speaker 5: stuff and weird stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is really truly it, And I feel like
Speaker 3: it's a calling. I feel like not only is it
Speaker 3: a challenge, it is a calling to go out and
Speaker 3: scratch that itch of what, why, when, where, and how
Speaker 3: do strange things happen? Basically, Yeah, yeah, I'm into that man. Yes,
Speaker 3: because we are up to date, modern people, and we
Speaker 3: have access to Amazon, and we can buy microphones and
Speaker 3: we could listen to two podcasts on our breaks while
Speaker 3: we're working if I was employed, and we can dream
Speaker 3: of being podcasters.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 3: But we're gonna do video too. You can't get too
Speaker 3: much of a good thing.
Speaker 5: No, you can't, anyway, Yes, sorry, I digressed.
Speaker 6: Another grass could go in there and buy it anyway.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you totally derailed me with your digressing.
Speaker 3: Into you know, the reason I say digressing is because
Speaker 3: I had to do some degreasing today because the wheel
Speaker 3: on the boat trailer was so packed with it was
Speaker 3: all over.
Speaker 1: I had to like degrease the wheel.
Speaker 5: Oh, you replaced the wheel on the boat.
Speaker 3: The tire, but I had to take the wheel off
Speaker 3: and lot.
Speaker 6: Of So you're talking about your camper.
Speaker 3: No, it's fun anyway. It doesn't matter for those of
Speaker 3: you who didn't, just you know, perceive this. We like
Speaker 3: outdoor stuff. We like boating. We like boat fishing. We
Speaker 3: like fishing, we like hunting, we like traveling.
Speaker 1: We like camping.
Speaker 3: We like fires, We like weird stuff in the sky.
Speaker 3: We like falling stars, we like bigfoot, we like sasquatch,
Speaker 3: We like all kinds. We are equal opportunity, strange thing people.
Speaker 5: Yes we are.
Speaker 1: Yes, that was a mouthful.
Speaker 6: It was a mouthful.
Speaker 3: Sorry. I just kind of went on a diet tribe.
Speaker 6: It just went.
Speaker 1: And it was fun.
Speaker 6: I don't remember what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: What were you talking about?
Speaker 6: I think you was talking about I was. And then
Speaker 6: you took a right turn. You you took three right turns.
Speaker 3: Totally turned us around. I signaled you did not signal
Speaker 3: you were that guy Okay, I'm signing now, go ok okay.
Speaker 5: Our first topic is going to be one of our
Speaker 5: stranger things. Uh, cattle mutilations.
Speaker 1: Why is it strange?
Speaker 3: I guess that is my fault.
Speaker 6: Well, it's strange because I was.
Speaker 3: I was born way back in the olden days, and
Speaker 3: in nineteen seventy something late in the year, like seventy eight,
Speaker 3: seventy nine, in the early eighties, there was this phenomena
Speaker 3: going on where cattle and other animals were being mutilated
Speaker 3: in very weird ways, and it was getting tied to UFOs,
Speaker 3: government conspiracies, satanic calls, and it was like a very
Speaker 3: creepy thing when I was a kid. And so when
Speaker 3: we started talking about doing this podcast, I'm like, hey,
Speaker 3: what are we going to kick off with. Let's do
Speaker 3: something strange, And I thought, oh, let's go back to
Speaker 3: my initial strange thing is route Yeah. Yeah, And it
Speaker 3: is a creepy thing. It's weird, and the more you
Speaker 3: investigate it, the more weirder it becomes.
Speaker 6: The more weirder, the more weird.
Speaker 3: It becomes proper English I use Southern idahoa hic if
Speaker 3: you don't like it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Anyway, because our first episode is going to be about
Speaker 5: cattle mutilations and who we are. We took a trip
Speaker 5: to Show Shown, Idaho, where some of these cattle mutilations
Speaker 5: actually took place, and that kind of brings up the
Speaker 5: topic that, unlike a lot of other podcasts, we want
Speaker 5: to actually get to the location where some of these
Speaker 5: weirder things happen and investigate.
Speaker 1: We want to do real investigation.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and we can use it as an excuse to
Speaker 5: go out and have a beer.
Speaker 3: You have a beer and.
Speaker 5: Set up a little campsite, an adventure, right, a few motorcycles,
Speaker 5: that's right, it'll be fun.
Speaker 3: Yes, So we actually loaded up the Scion XB. Yeah,
Speaker 3: what did I call it an investigation vehicle?
Speaker 6: That panty dropper?
Speaker 3: No, the investigation vehicle IV something anyway, doesn't matter. The
Speaker 3: investigatory vehicle loaded it full of camera equipment and some stuff,
Speaker 3: and we drove to Show Shown, Idaho to kick off
Speaker 3: our investigation for cattle mulations.
Speaker 5: Which brings up the topic of how we kick off
Speaker 5: our investigations, which we did in Show Shown Idaho.
Speaker 1: That's correct.
Speaker 5: We pulled into a campground, a fair ground, Idaho, it's
Speaker 5: fair to say, and we poured ourselves what we like
Speaker 5: to call the IDL the idel.
Speaker 6: What is an idea?
Speaker 3: The investigation destination libation. So if you can't guess, it's
Speaker 3: about having a drink before you do the busy work,
Speaker 3: to loosen the.
Speaker 5: Lips for us introverts to speak to the common folk.
Speaker 3: I'm not as introverted as you, but yes, something about
Speaker 3: that allows you to just talk freely. And so we
Speaker 3: wanted to make it fun. We also wanted to have
Speaker 3: a little adventure, so we developed the IDL. Was your
Speaker 3: brain child, and what is the idea?
Speaker 5: The IDL or investigation destination libation, consists of three elements.
Speaker 3: The sacrament, the trifecta, sacramental elements of goodness.
Speaker 5: Element number one an imperial stout, often the Dragon's milk stout, which.
Speaker 3: Is eleven percent alcohol, so it will bite you if
Speaker 3: you're not careful.
Speaker 5: It's a really good bourbon barrel imperial style and it's made.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an imperial style.
Speaker 6: It's awesome.
Speaker 3: It's bourbon barrel age and it is brewed by New
Speaker 3: Holland Brewing Company.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's great. Whoever brews it, kudos to.
Speaker 3: You and we'll put a link for that on our website.
Speaker 5: The second element, of the idel is an Irish whiskey
Speaker 5: known as the Not Not. It's a really flavorful whiskey.
Speaker 5: It's pretty easy to drink and it's super delicious.
Speaker 1: It's a hunter proof We kid you not.
Speaker 3: Anyway, it's a great it's a great Irish whiskey. It's
Speaker 3: very sweet. And this is one hundred proof, so it's
Speaker 3: fifty percent alcohols, got a ton of flavor.
Speaker 5: It hides the alcohol really well. It's good and it
Speaker 5: complements the Dragon's milk. It's a flavor bomb.
Speaker 3: Yes so. And then the third element of the.
Speaker 5: The third element of the IDL is an Irish cream liqueur, yes,
Speaker 5: like Bailey's or something like that. And basically the premise
Speaker 5: of it is you take a pint glass, don't fill
Speaker 5: it all the way because we did that in the
Speaker 5: beer was too cold and it was a miserable experience.
Speaker 5: And it's eleven with the shot of whiskey. It's a
Speaker 5: lot to take in in a short period of time.
Speaker 3: And it's like basically taking four shots.
Speaker 5: Taste your pint glass, fill it halfway up with dragon's milk,
Speaker 5: stout wedge in a shot glass, shotglass full of the
Speaker 5: Irish cream and a shotglass full of the Irish step
Speaker 5: or the Irish whisky, which is and they'll kind of
Speaker 5: be wedged in in a way that the Irish cream
Speaker 5: is lower.
Speaker 6: Than the Irish whiskey.
Speaker 5: So when you pull the Irish whiskey out of the wedge.
Speaker 3: The cream drops into the beer.
Speaker 6: The cream will drop into the beer.
Speaker 5: Chemical reaction chain, chemical reaction in there, and it'll be
Speaker 5: kind of fun.
Speaker 6: It's called an Irish hand grenade.
Speaker 5: You shoot the whiskey and then chug the kind of
Speaker 5: cream beer, make sure, and it's really good and you
Speaker 5: got to do it. Relaxes your shoulders, I'm telling you, yeah, And.
Speaker 3: You got to do it quick because it'll curdle. The
Speaker 3: cream will curdle inside.
Speaker 1: Of the beer if you're if.
Speaker 3: You don't like chug it, so you got to go rapidly.
Speaker 3: We have a link on a website you'll be able
Speaker 3: to actually watch us doing our first ever IDL in
Speaker 3: show shown Idaho. And it was a weird experience.
Speaker 1: It was. It was strange.
Speaker 6: Shown was strange in general. We met some strange people
Speaker 6: on a strange topic.
Speaker 3: It was on a strange day.
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 6: It was a great strange thing.
Speaker 3: It was a great kickouf. We I don't know about you.
Speaker 3: I laughed, well, I know you laughed too. I laughed
Speaker 3: so hard my stomach hurt. Yeah, I did do my
Speaker 3: face hurt.
Speaker 6: And that's a big part of it.
Speaker 3: Just to have fun. Yeah, And that's part of what
Speaker 3: we want to do on the podcast. We want to
Speaker 3: make it fun. Sometimes this subject matter might not be
Speaker 3: really fun. Like the cattle mutilation. Stuff sounds funny and
Speaker 3: on the surface level it is. You start digging into
Speaker 3: it and it gets kind of creepy, does little, and
Speaker 3: then when you get past creepy, it gets down right strange,
Speaker 3: and then it gets kind of scary.
Speaker 5: And then it kind of recovers and it gets just
Speaker 5: silly again.
Speaker 3: And then you go, what am I doing way down here?
Speaker 5: Why am I standing deep in a pilot?
Speaker 7: The film you were about to see, called A Strange Harvest,
Speaker 7: was first broadcast in May nineteen eighty. The subject is
Speaker 7: a mystery which has haunted ranchers and law enforcement for
Speaker 7: the past decade. The mutilation of animals, especially cattle, throughout
Speaker 7: the United States and Canada. Since the first broadcast, mutilations
Speaker 7: have continued, but with little or no media coverage, perhaps
Speaker 7: because it's easier to accept the usual explanation of predator attack. However,
Speaker 7: in the past few months, since September of nineteen eighty two,
Speaker 7: I have received twelve mutilation reports from sheriff's offices.
Speaker 5: So let's explain what cattle mutilations are.
Speaker 3: So, cattle mutilations aren't natural cattle deaths. They're not about
Speaker 3: like cows that go out and die of old age
Speaker 3: or that don't have you know, enough water and they
Speaker 3: die of thirst or die you know, not having enough foody. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it don't get attacked by wolves, and yeah, they don't
Speaker 3: fall off a cliff. It's about it's about deaths that
Speaker 3: are unnatural. And I think there are basically four categories
Speaker 3: we talked about that make cattle mutilations in those four
Speaker 3: possible categories as something that is very very strange. And
Speaker 3: that's our story, that's our podcast.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's kind of four bullet points or theories that
Speaker 5: are associated with these cattle mutilations. But there's some key
Speaker 5: features to a catta mutilation that kind of mark what
Speaker 5: I mean, it's what makes them weird because they're pretty similar.
Speaker 5: These several scenarios of cattle mutilations in different places, different locations,
Speaker 5: not just Idaho, not just just shown. It spans out
Speaker 5: worldwide and they all have a similar couple of traits.
Speaker 5: And what are some of those traits.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you might have noticed in our opening intro
Speaker 3: that little SoundBite is actually from a nineteen eighty video
Speaker 3: documentary that was broadcast I think on CBS out of Denver,
Speaker 3: and I think it appeared in nineteen eighty, and it
Speaker 3: was all about this new phenomena called cattle mulation and
Speaker 3: that's kind of what's kicked things off, and it was
Speaker 3: called a Strange harvest. And basically there was this this reporter,
Speaker 3: her name was Linda Moulton Howe. She's very famous. We'll
Speaker 3: put links on her website to her website. She's kind
Speaker 3: of a well, she's kind of a conspiracy theorist. She's
Speaker 3: also into aliens and all kinds of stuff. But she's
Speaker 3: highly respected. She goes all over the country and talks
Speaker 3: about this kind of stuff. But she's the one that
Speaker 3: kind of to open the floodgates into the phenomena and
Speaker 3: made it mainstream or at least mainstream in like nineteen eighty.
Speaker 5: Basically, she saw a similarity in these cattle findings.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there were all these weird things going on with cattle.
Speaker 3: Ranchers were like talking to local sheriff's departments and saying, Hey,
Speaker 3: what's going on here. This had this cow, but it's
Speaker 3: not natural the way it died, something's weird about it.
Speaker 3: The indicators of cattle mutilations that we're talking about on
Speaker 3: this podcast are things like a missing ear, maybe two ears.
Speaker 5: Surgically removed ears, not like no wiley coyote came and
Speaker 5: took a bite of an ear. It's it's not a
Speaker 5: Mike Tyson scenario. It's more like a dexter.
Speaker 3: It's like laser precise. Yeah, it's like they weren't just cut,
Speaker 3: but they were like cauterized at the same time. And
Speaker 3: that's another thing.
Speaker 1: No blood.
Speaker 3: The blood is completely drained from animals, and it happens rapidly.
Speaker 3: We're not talking about that. It happens, you know, by
Speaker 3: the blood seeping into the ground. We're talking within hours
Speaker 3: of the death. The blood is missing, but it's not
Speaker 3: anywhere to be found.
Speaker 5: Farmer Joe goes out and milks Old Bessie. He goes
Speaker 5: to bed, wakes up in the morning, can't fight Old Bessie.
Speaker 5: He's upset because he has to eat his bacon and
Speaker 5: eggs without a glass of milk. And you know why
Speaker 5: else he is upset because he stumbles across his cow
Speaker 5: missing an ear, and it's missing its ovaries, it's missing
Speaker 5: gone lips, it's.
Speaker 3: Teats are gone, all kinds of utter. It's utterly crazy,
Speaker 3: it is, I mean, it's really weird. So yes, it's
Speaker 3: a typical cattle mulation. No ear, no eyes, maybe one
Speaker 3: eye gone no, like the jawline cut out, with lips gune,
Speaker 3: not just the eyeball, but like the lid and socket.
Speaker 3: All the flesh is removed, blood is gone, and it
Speaker 3: tail yet is gone.
Speaker 1: Utters are removed.
Speaker 5: Just completely butchered and dissected strategically, precisely and in weird
Speaker 5: ways that you wouldn't see a typical predatory or scavenger animal.
Speaker 3: Dude, right, and in rapid time. Yeah, so like and
Speaker 3: sometimes like we're talking within a person sees it three
Speaker 3: hours later, cow is dead.
Speaker 6: Crazy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And sometimes it appears that the animal has been
Speaker 5: dropped like a small crater or have you even seen
Speaker 5: pictures of maybe it like is in a tree. Yeah,
Speaker 5: like the cow landed in a tree.
Speaker 3: It's like it's been picked up, moved, something happened to it,
Speaker 3: and then dropped. And there's no footprints, there's no crazy,
Speaker 3: there's no tire prints, there's nothing. It's just like landed puff.
Speaker 3: And the other thing that's really weird is is that
Speaker 3: the cattle, like I think it's like seventy percent are
Speaker 3: heifer's or pregnant.
Speaker 1: Weird.
Speaker 3: That is a weird thing, but we're not going to
Speaker 3: get into that too deep yet.
Speaker 5: Sexist and something weird scientists.
Speaker 3: And you know, the weirdness about the whole reproductive system
Speaker 3: of cows. I mean those organs are gone.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is weird.
Speaker 3: And a lot of times, like their rear end, it
Speaker 3: talks about their genitalia. It's not just like it's not
Speaker 3: like it's just cut out, but it's like a rained out.
Speaker 3: It's like an inverted cone has been removed out of
Speaker 3: their backsides and like if it's a ball, the the
Speaker 3: the penis, and yes, all of that is gone. It's
Speaker 3: like gone, it's like been removed. So you know, a
Speaker 3: lot of people think, okay, this is like an earmark
Speaker 3: of a satanic or some kind of a cultic practice
Speaker 3: to gain power or fertility rights or something which could
Speaker 3: be and we'll talk about that in our next episode.
Speaker 3: But it's just a really bizarre thing. And then let's
Speaker 3: talk a little bit about frequency. Yeah, because it's not
Speaker 3: like one or two animals. We're talking about thousands, and
Speaker 3: we're not talking one geographical location. We're talking all over
Speaker 3: the world. Yeah. In the nineteen seventies, when this started
Speaker 3: becoming frequent, people were starting to like put two.
Speaker 1: And two together.
Speaker 3: And then when Linda Moulton Howe made this broadcast and
Speaker 3: it was published and she won an Emmy for it.
Speaker 3: When that came out, it opened the floodgates. Now this
Speaker 3: was before email, this was before you know, you could
Speaker 3: just like text something. They actually had to write letters,
Speaker 3: snail mail or call the broadcast station. And there were
Speaker 3: thousands of calls and thousands of letters of people that
Speaker 3: had experienced the same thing all over the United States.
Speaker 5: And farmers were getting kind of weirded out because it
Speaker 5: was seemingly to be like they go to bed, they
Speaker 5: wake up and the cow's just completely been obliterated and
Speaker 5: butchered and mutilated, and so they were report it to
Speaker 5: the police station or something like that, which kind of
Speaker 5: gave Linda Moulton Halloway to track some of this stuff down.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it was a big deal.
Speaker 5: It wasn't like just some crazy farmer on farmers only
Speaker 5: dot com. It was an actual police report and some
Speaker 5: of it actually ended up being investigations.
Speaker 3: Yes, and we'll put a link to a YouTube video
Speaker 3: of the actual broadcast from nineteen eighty three, I believe.
Speaker 3: And it wasn't like the cattle mulations ever stopped since then,
Speaker 3: it has continued. It's moved into South America, Great Britain,
Speaker 3: New Zealand. I mean, this is happening everywhere, Canada, all
Speaker 3: across the United States, and then just recently, I just
Speaker 3: read an article just today and I'll put a link
Speaker 3: to that on our website as well. In July of
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, five prize bowls were mutilated in Oregon.
Speaker 1: Crazy. This just happened like a month ago.
Speaker 6: That's insane.
Speaker 5: Five of them, five of them in what success like
Speaker 5: in the day or like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was all within a certain amount of time.
Speaker 3: They'd found them within twenty four hours, but they weren't
Speaker 3: able to do the Uh. I can't remember the name
Speaker 3: of the actual process where they take the neck crops. Yeah,
Speaker 3: neck cropsy, Yeah, necropsy. Yeah, and so they it was
Speaker 3: by the time they got them there, it was after
Speaker 3: twenty four hours. But we're not talking like weeks. We're
Speaker 3: talking like within a day or two. So fire holes
Speaker 3: all of them with the same things. They're junk cut off, well,
Speaker 3: other parts cut off, eyeballs missing, jab ears gone, you know,
Speaker 3: the typical mutilation stuff. And then no.
Speaker 1: Blood on any of these things.
Speaker 3: And the links there. We'll get into that a little more,
Speaker 3: but just to say, this is stuff that's still going
Speaker 3: on today. It's not like something that just stopped and
Speaker 3: who knows how long it went on before when nobody
Speaker 3: was ever documenting.
Speaker 5: It kind of ties into things like el chupa Copra.
Speaker 1: In fact, if you.
Speaker 3: Are into Georgia more coast to coast damn radio radio. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he has on the website just a new thing that
Speaker 3: came out in June where there were a bunch of
Speaker 3: cattle mulations in South America and people are all panicked
Speaker 3: that it's.
Speaker 1: The jupe of nice. So it's everywhere. That's what we're
Speaker 1: trying to say.
Speaker 3: And this topic is huge, and we're going to try
Speaker 3: to break it down into you know, nice bite sized
Speaker 3: nuggets and march through it in a logical manner without
Speaker 3: doing a lot of you know, going divergent.
Speaker 1: But we probably will a little bit because it's fun.
Speaker 6: I think.
Speaker 5: Speaking of which, we should head over to Oregon and
Speaker 5: talk to that fella.
Speaker 3: We should, but we don't even have to. I mean
Speaker 3: he was interviewed and the whole thing is online.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but we could go to Orgon in the mountains.
Speaker 1: Oh we could.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we could use it as an excuse to get
Speaker 3: out of Dodge.
Speaker 5: And excuse to go and.
Speaker 6: Sasquatch.
Speaker 3: No, that's a different stream.
Speaker 6: Well, but we can find it.
Speaker 3: We can multitask in our strangeness.
Speaker 5: We could interview Sasquatch about cattle mutilations.
Speaker 1: What do you think they came from?
Speaker 3: I know what he'd say, that's my mommy, it's my
Speaker 3: surrogate mother. All right. That's another story for another time
Speaker 3: to get into that. Yes, we'll get into that next
Speaker 3: next episode. But I hope you will stick with us.
Speaker 3: As you can tell, we're not like what you would
Speaker 3: call professional podcasters or even good podcast We're just a
Speaker 3: father son duo who loves adventure and we hope to
Speaker 3: have more listeners and episodes.

Speaker 3: what we were hoping for. And finally, one more quick disclaimer.
Speaker 3: We talk a little bit about drinking on the show.
Speaker 3: We have an occasional beer, maybe even a whiskey. We
Speaker 3: do our libations every time we kick off an investigation.
Speaker 3: But one thing we never do is we never drive drunk,
Speaker 3: and we do drink responsibly, and we encourage you to
Speaker 3: do the same. Until next time, Keep it Strange, We'll
