Speaker 1: Welcome to OUCH. Was that a ghost? This podcast may
Speaker 1: contain graphic material which some listeners may find disturbing. Listener
Speaker 1: discretion is advised, is advised me? Now that we covered that,
Speaker 1: here's your host list.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to HOUCH.
Speaker 3: Was that a ghost?
Speaker 2: With Liz and I guess pretty much a co host
Speaker 2: over here? Now, Natty, Yeah, what do.
Speaker 3: They call it? I'm a center No, not a centerpiece.
Speaker 3: I'm talking about when it's like, all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: it's like a par of whatever's there. It's just like
Speaker 3: gross reoccurring Melissa's neck growth.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, like reoccurring something series regular.
Speaker 3: You tell you you can take this out if you want,
Speaker 3: but I do have to put it or so I
Speaker 3: write my own notes right for my show, and so
Speaker 3: shameless plug cloak to cosmic right. But I write all
Speaker 3: my notes and everything, and it's all like I don't
Speaker 3: plagiarize or anything like that. So I rewrite everything and
Speaker 3: put my you know, verbiage in. Well, lately my boyfriend
Speaker 3: has instigated some sexting, and I was like, who needs
Speaker 3: a smut novel when you have a horny girlfriend? That
Speaker 3: should have been a writer. So I just I catch
Speaker 3: myself using words that I like use it like speaking
Speaker 3: how I write my notes on accident. So that's why
Speaker 3: when I was like a growth, I was like, of
Speaker 3: course that would be the word I would pick. It
Speaker 3: wouldn't just be.
Speaker 2: I did not see where you're going with that.
Speaker 3: Okay, wait for it, wait for it, And here she
Speaker 3: comes around the bin. There she is. I will try
Speaker 3: to think of the word I was looking for. It'll
Speaker 3: probably come to me in the middle of the episodes.
Speaker 3: If I like randomly say a word, that's probably what
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 2: Well, at this point, I'm afraid to hear the word
Speaker 2: that's gonna come out. It's gonna be like it's a
Speaker 2: girl bad.
Speaker 3: It's not as that it's a hmm. I have to
Speaker 3: think of it. I don't know what it is on
Speaker 3: the top of my head. Okay, I swear I'm not
Speaker 3: under the influence yet.
Speaker 2: Right, So this is coming out in like a few weeks.
Speaker 2: But right now we're both in the middle of a
Speaker 2: nice snowstorm. I'm supposed to get like two feet and
Speaker 2: you already have a foot. I haven't even gone outside,
Speaker 2: so I don't even know what I have.
Speaker 3: Well, if it wasn't for the dogs. I wouldn't be
Speaker 3: out there if it wasn't for the dogs.
Speaker 2: I just got to get up super early and shovel
Speaker 2: so I.
Speaker 3: Have a little Pomeranian Yorki mix again a foot of snow.
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know how to tell what that was. You
Speaker 2: sent me a picture and I was like, is that
Speaker 2: a log? What is she sending me a picture of?
Speaker 2: That's her dog?
Speaker 3: I literally, just because I'm a jackass, I picked him
Speaker 3: up and I dropped him like, well, okay, I set
Speaker 3: him down. I didn't drop him drop him, but I
Speaker 3: set him down like right above the snow, and he
Speaker 3: just submerged, like he just disappeared in the snow way
Speaker 3: over his back. Did he like it though? No, he
Speaker 3: hated it. But so then I'm out there doing my
Speaker 3: doggy parent duties and shoveling a path so that he
Speaker 3: can go body.
Speaker 2: I actually wanted to get a little plastic bucket and
Speaker 2: bring some snow in to see what my cats think
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 3: You so should.
Speaker 2: And when I'm done recording, I think I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 2: gonna get like a tup away and just put some
Speaker 2: snow and see what they do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, say, mine just liked to drink out of the sink,
Speaker 3: likes to be in the sink water running like she
Speaker 3: I try to be funny and like turn the water
Speaker 3: on real fast, and she just sat there and was
Speaker 3: loving it. She like rubs her head in it and
Speaker 3: it's like all over her. I'm like, dude, you psycho,
Speaker 3: I would find I would find the one cat that
Speaker 3: likes water, right.
Speaker 2: One of my cats likes to just go in boxes,
Speaker 2: like eat through them like a And it's in the
Speaker 2: corner so it looks like a rat got in there,
Speaker 2: but she bites holes in it. So anyone that sees it,
Speaker 2: they're like, do you have like a rodent problem? Cat
Speaker 2: cat problem?
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. I feel like the world was leader.
Speaker 3: So it's about being fixed anyway, not that kind of
Speaker 3: fixed part of something. It'll come to me. It'll come
Speaker 3: to me. I'm still trying to figure out what it was.
Speaker 2: All right, So we'll just jump right into it this week.
Speaker 3: Let's do it.
Speaker 2: I'm bringing a highly requested cryptid. I feel like it
Speaker 2: needs no no.
Speaker 3: No, no no no no no.
Speaker 2: Batsquatch.
Speaker 3: That was awesome.
Speaker 2: I saw the alias that he has, which I think
Speaker 2: is fantastic as you would pronounce it. P pterodactyl squatch
Speaker 2: pederodactyl the dactyl mm hmm. It's a cryptid that hails
Speaker 2: from the Pacific Northwest, described as a large ape like
Speaker 2: creature with bat like wings, often associated with Mount Saint
Speaker 2: Helen's in Mount Rainier or Mount Shasta. I forget what
Speaker 2: I covered it Mount Shasta. That was like the people,
Speaker 2: the Limerians I think are in Mount Shasta. Uh, I know,
Speaker 2: I covered them with some something weird before.
Speaker 3: Was it you that covered the like a goblin or
Speaker 3: a troll that like went into like a coal mine?
Speaker 3: Was that you?
Speaker 2: I did the the Christmas one that's a that was
Speaker 2: like underground though to a tree, you know, the ones
Speaker 2: that go down and eat the tree every year.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I do. Oh yes, we have got to
Speaker 3: do that one.
Speaker 2: It's so fun.
Speaker 3: Maybe next Christmas for creep it weird.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I fully go in on a story
Speaker 2: a week later. I have no idea what you're talking about.
Speaker 2: Like I immerse myself.
Speaker 3: I've got my little like filing cabinet in my brains,
Speaker 3: like please hold yeah, I'm like some bad squadh. I'm
Speaker 3: like wait a minute, hold on. And I was like,
Speaker 3: did it I was like, hold on, I think I
Speaker 3: know this one. I think I know this one. I
Speaker 3: was like, but then I had to like go read
Speaker 3: my notes because I couldn't remember like all of it.
Speaker 3: So I was like, oh, yeah, definitely a good one.
Speaker 2: And before we get into this, I'm telling you now,
Speaker 2: ready say it with me, it's not it's not a condo. Well, actually,
Speaker 2: you know what, I think this this might be the
Speaker 2: only one that you could claim that because it is
Speaker 2: in California and it's a flying creature.
Speaker 3: Oh god, it's a condor. Baby, It's a condor. I
Speaker 3: don't care what you say. From this point on, it
Speaker 3: is a condor.
Speaker 2: Bat monster cryptids have been reported in many of the
Speaker 2: United States and abroad. Some associate bat creatures as protectors,
Speaker 2: while others see them as like demonic.
Speaker 3: Oh I could see that, and.
Speaker 2: Arguably one of the most infamous hails from Washington State
Speaker 2: the Batsquatch.
Speaker 3: I wish people could see I like nod my heads.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, I know, and then I'm like, wait,
Speaker 3: you guys can't see me. Oh jeez.
Speaker 2: After the enormous nineteen to eighty eruption of Mount Saint Helen's,
Speaker 2: which was this catastrophic volcanic eruption, which to date is
Speaker 2: the most economically destructive volcano eruption in American history. And
Speaker 2: I feel like I said eruptions so many times right there.
Speaker 2: But it was devastatingly big.
Speaker 3: You're erupting with the word you can't help yourself. It
Speaker 3: just erupted out of her mouth.
Speaker 2: It did. Oh gosh, Natasha's going to use this on
Speaker 2: her sexting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my sexting. It's erupting.
Speaker 2: I'm afraid to use two descriptive of words now with you.
Speaker 3: Oh, it just gives you more artillery. I thank you later.
Speaker 2: Well, the eruption was devastatingly big, that's what he said.
Speaker 3: I get.
Speaker 2: It ruined tons of infrastructure. It took out hundreds of homes,
Speaker 2: like fifty bridges, which seems insane because I feel like
Speaker 2: bridges are so spaced out, never mind like the highway
Speaker 2: rail it took out, and it killed fifty seven people.
Speaker 2: Once the ash settled from the disaster, sightings of a
Speaker 2: strange creature began in the area. People reported seeing a
Speaker 2: flying figure. It's been speculated that it may have gained
Speaker 2: its supernatural abilities due to the eruption, or possibly that
Speaker 2: it was dormant inside with them already and it was
Speaker 2: merely awoken.
Speaker 3: That's something like Godzilla bullshit, right, It's like Kimera at
Speaker 3: its finest. But you were talking about the bridges. There's
Speaker 3: quite a few bridges in my town, and like, I'm
Speaker 3: in a tiny te Tay town, Like how many and
Speaker 3: we've got in the surrounding area We've got saying like
Speaker 3: this doesn't say they got to be big bridges. It
Speaker 3: could be any bridge, right, that's.
Speaker 2: True, But fifty of them is still.
Speaker 3: A lot one, two, three, or five, six at least
Speaker 3: six that I could think of off the top of
Speaker 3: my head in my around my tiny area.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. Yeah, we got one, that's it.
Speaker 3: We're right next to a river. So the river like
Speaker 3: snakes through like around the county, so every time it
Speaker 3: takes a bob and a weave. And then you have
Speaker 3: the hills and hollers, creeks, the creeks, not the creeks,
Speaker 3: but the creeks, you know, So you have rivers and
Speaker 3: all of that stuff. So there's a lot of bridges
Speaker 3: around all right, They're just not huge bridges. We only
Speaker 3: have two decent sized ones.
Speaker 2: It's description like pretty much all cryptids varies. This towering
Speaker 2: primate looking creature is said to be about nine feet tall,
Speaker 2: while some articles say it's as large as twenty two
Speaker 2: feet tall. Twenty two feet It was on like some
Speaker 2: Japanese websites, but then some people say that that may
Speaker 2: be incorrect because maybe it was mistranslated, Like I'm guessing
Speaker 2: the the stuff.
Speaker 3: If it was Japan, it might just be like a
Speaker 3: whole different species.
Speaker 2: That's true. The creature is said to have a canine
Speaker 2: like head, like a dog or wolf type nose, and
Speaker 2: tuft in ears with this long torso. And I know
Speaker 2: that you sent me your notes and you wrote that
Speaker 2: he was jacked and had this like really you were
Speaker 2: going on and on about his abs. I'm like, I
Speaker 2: didn't find that, but okay, you google google the.
Speaker 3: Photo, just seriously google bat squadch and go to images
Speaker 3: and you'll see exactly what I was talking about. Dude's
Speaker 3: got washboard abs goals. Huh yeah, right, that's no joke.
Speaker 3: Oh very dope.
Speaker 2: Boy, I've got seen that one. I saw the one
Speaker 2: that makes him look more ape like yeah, or it.
Speaker 3: Almost like he's got like a cat looking ahead.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, okay, so he doesn't skip the ab day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, or leg day from the looks of that one.
Speaker 2: And you also put him at about eight hundred to
Speaker 2: twelve hundred pounds.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had to google that one.
Speaker 2: Some people say he has birdlike feet with talons and
Speaker 2: he has these batlike leathery wings that have been reported
Speaker 2: to be as large as a fifty foot That doesn't
Speaker 2: sound right as large as a fifty foot wingspan, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. The sentence structure is wrong on that.
Speaker 2: But will pretend to like over I'm like.
Speaker 3: No, I totally get what you're saying, and then you
Speaker 3: look really confused for a second. I'm like, did I
Speaker 3: miss something?
Speaker 2: And he is sporting grayish or bluish fur with I've
Speaker 2: seen glowing red or yellow eyes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I've seen that too, and I've noticed a
Speaker 3: lot of times. Uh, not to like totally derail at
Speaker 3: the moment, but you hear similar things with dog Man
Speaker 3: and Sasquatch that they have some have yellow, some have red.
Speaker 3: I've heard both for both of them.
Speaker 2: I haven't done dog Man yet, so.
Speaker 3: I'm not done dog Man as a whole. I've just
Speaker 3: had people on that have had encounters. Ooh, yeah, so
Speaker 3: that was pretty crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So basically this creature is said to look a
Speaker 2: lot like Bigfoot, but with wings. So if a bat
Speaker 2: in a sasquatch had a baby, it could create this
Speaker 2: eight bat like creature. The name batsquatch comes from a
Speaker 2: mashup of bat and sasquatch, hence batsquatch.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: He's said to have incredible endurance with seemingly unlimited energy,
Speaker 2: which I wish.
Speaker 3: I well wish, I wish.
Speaker 2: That's how he can do all those crunches and keep
Speaker 2: that those ads. I'm just seeing.
Speaker 3: It's like he's got his little like wings tucked in
Speaker 3: like a bat that hangs upside down, but he's just
Speaker 3: like doing like sit ups upside down with his sweatband on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you.
Speaker 3: Got little he's got a little bat like bird feet whatever.
Speaker 3: They're like hooked and they've got little like leg warmers
Speaker 3: on them. That is a great image.
Speaker 2: He's said to have super enhanced hearing at long distances
Speaker 2: and have the ability to fly and jump large distances
Speaker 2: with ease and land effortlessly. He's also said to be
Speaker 2: able to manipulate car mechanics with its screams, with the
Speaker 2: most well known encounter on April nineteen ninety four, over
Speaker 2: a decade after the abruption, After the eruption, I can
Speaker 2: talk today. I'm sorry, just want I don't know what happened.
Speaker 3: It was abrupt. You abruptly mispronounced eruption.
Speaker 2: What was the word that I kept saying, eruption? No?
Speaker 2: Was it eruption? And this is another time. Oh maybe
Speaker 2: that's why my body's like, stop stop saying that word.
Speaker 2: I'm not an auto filter on.
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2: So Brian Canfield was driving in Pierce County by Mount
Speaker 2: Rainier and his truck engine just stopped working. His truck stopped,
Speaker 2: and in front of him was what appeared to seemingly
Speaker 2: out of nowhere, this creature that descended in front of
Speaker 2: him in the road. What is wrong with me? Sorry?
Speaker 2: So he described the creature as nine feet tall, human
Speaker 2: esque being covered in blue fur with bat type wings.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to hold it together. You have to dump
Speaker 2: big lin.
Speaker 3: I'm trying so and I trying to cover my face
Speaker 3: that you wouldn't see it.
Speaker 2: So it just stood there watching Brian for minutes that
Speaker 2: seemed like hours, and then he just left. He flew
Speaker 2: away as quickly as he appeared, and then Brian's truck
Speaker 2: engine was fine and his truck just started right up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's really weird to just have something to show
Speaker 3: up in front of you and then your entire car
Speaker 3: just quits working. What do you do?
Speaker 2: Get out and run? Then you have this thing like you're.
Speaker 3: Stay in the vehicle. Me too, personally, I would stay
Speaker 3: in the vehicle and hope that it doesn't come over there.
Speaker 2: Close your eyes, hope I can't see you.
Speaker 3: Nine feet tall. I'm just thinking nine feets. I always
Speaker 3: have a hard time. I'm not good at judging like
Speaker 3: heights or anything, so I always wonder how people, like,
Speaker 3: how accurate is it? Because to me, everybody looks really tall.
Speaker 2: But if you're sitting in a car, you can kind
Speaker 2: of guess from there.
Speaker 3: I mean maybe some people can't. I sure can't.
Speaker 2: What I can't get my head around is when people
Speaker 2: say things are in the sky and they're like it's
Speaker 2: eleven feet wide, Like, how do you know? Because if
Speaker 2: it's five feet away from you or five hundred feet
Speaker 2: away from you, it's going to be very different. And
Speaker 2: if you're just getting a little glimpse of it, how
Speaker 2: do you have this measurement?
Speaker 3: I don't know. It gets all all measurements. I never know.
Speaker 2: So there's this app on the phone that the ruler
Speaker 2: thing blows my mind. But you can point it at
Speaker 2: like a TV on the wall and it can measure it. Like,
Speaker 2: how does the phone know the distance? It's like, I
Speaker 2: don't understand the science. I can't get my head around
Speaker 2: how the phone can do that. And my kid's like, well,
Speaker 2: it does this exist? And I'm like, but it doesn't.
Speaker 2: It's no, Like, it's just not a thing. It doesn't
Speaker 2: make sense to me.
Speaker 3: That is really weird. I don't know how I feel
Speaker 3: about that one. Oh so guy, it so so now
Speaker 3: we can't have a male versus female two inches. It's
Speaker 3: gonna actually give you two inches. Gosh, dang, it takes
Speaker 3: out half the fun.
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, where was I nine feet tall?
Speaker 3: And then it flew off?
Speaker 2: Okay, So in two thousand and nine there were more
Speaker 2: accounts of a winged creature named Mount Shasta. I always
Speaker 2: think of that cheap soda Shasta. A group was out
Speaker 2: hiking when they saw a creature. You never heard of
Speaker 2: Shasta soda.
Speaker 3: No, I know what Fanta is.
Speaker 2: No hospitals around here. They always said, like, that's the
Speaker 2: knockoff cheap o soda. It's like trash. But if you're
Speaker 2: at the hospital and you want like a jijirel.
Speaker 3: We have real soda. At my hospital. We have a
Speaker 3: whole cafeteria and everything. It has really good food. Oh
Speaker 3: my gosh.
Speaker 2: The Boston cafeterias are insane. Like if you want any
Speaker 2: type of food in the world, you can get it.
Speaker 2: But if you go to like certain outskirt hospitals, the
Speaker 2: cafeterias are trash.
Speaker 3: Ours has really good food that's good when it's open
Speaker 3: when you don't work third shift.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so you got vending machine options.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fantastic. Oh, very overly priced vending machine options.
Speaker 2: I get so jealous of the vending machines in like
Speaker 2: Japan that I see on TikTok that the thing will
Speaker 2: like make this whole like fruit parfe in front of
Speaker 2: you in the machine. They do like the craziest things
Speaker 2: in their vending machines. Oh, I didn't know that they
Speaker 2: have all these healthy options that aren't a million dollars,
Speaker 2: and like we get like a week old tune of
Speaker 2: sandwich or a five dollars bag of Doritos, and they
Speaker 2: have like this b yeah, and they have these beautiful options.
Speaker 3: And then well they are more technologically inclined than we
Speaker 3: are for the most part.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's me midnight scrolling on TikTok and then you know,
Speaker 2: it just gets on your algorithm and then it just Yeah, seriously,
Speaker 2: do I want to get out of bed and make popcorn?
Speaker 2: Or do I want to sit here and stare at her?
Speaker 3: For you looks real good?
Speaker 2: Do I want to pay fifty dollars for a parfe
Speaker 2: on door dash?
Speaker 3: Oh Jesus, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: Okay, So the group was out hiking and they saw
Speaker 2: this creature emerge from a crevice in the mountain Mount Shasta,
Speaker 2: and they described how the creature spread is fifty foot
Speaker 2: wingspan and flew away. Originally they thought it was pterodactyl like,
Speaker 2: but as they watched it fly away, it appeared more
Speaker 2: like a flying batfox with blue fur.
Speaker 3: A bat fox. That's a little specific. Wait, hold on,
Speaker 3: hold on, So we've got basically a blue fox with.
Speaker 2: Wings mm hmm, or an ape like thing with wings,
Speaker 2: or a pterodactyl.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, or a peterodactyl. We gotta you gotta leave
Speaker 3: in the dactyl, which could very well be a condor
Speaker 3: just saying.
Speaker 2: I'm allowing it this time.
Speaker 3: But between the fox and the ape, those are two
Speaker 3: totally different animals. I mean tail size alone, I mean,
Speaker 3: they have nothing in common.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a foxtail is so distinct unless it's talking about
Speaker 2: its face.
Speaker 3: We're making our very own like weird flying platypus.
Speaker 2: It's Perry.
Speaker 3: Parry. Oh yeah, I'm like to pete.
Speaker 2: Yeah. In June twenty eleven, a man was in his
Speaker 2: yard with his dog and he bent down to pick
Speaker 2: up the dog and he said, quote, I saw something
Speaker 2: flying in the sky. It had bat wings, blue fur,
Speaker 2: and a face similar. I don't know what that means
Speaker 2: to eyes glowing red. It was about nine feet tall,
Speaker 2: at least after I watched it, it just flew away.
Speaker 3: None of these descriptions make any sense so far. I mean,
Speaker 3: none of them. Aside from bat wings, nothing else is
Speaker 3: in common.
Speaker 2: The height kind of, I mean, but if it goes
Speaker 2: from fox to ape, yeah, to nine feet tall to
Speaker 2: twenty feet tall or whatever. And I wonder how good
Speaker 2: of a look these people got, and if they heard
Speaker 2: the other encounters and I kind of building off of that,
Speaker 2: or they just saw something flying and they just wanted
Speaker 2: to be included, or really they really did see something.
Speaker 2: You know, there's so many yeah what ifs. There was
Speaker 2: another possible sighting in April of twenty fourteen in Akron, Ohio,
Speaker 2: when a high school's whole class witnessed out of the
Speaker 2: classroom window a large black flying thing pass at an
Speaker 2: extraordinary speed. Again, they said it passed an extraordinary speed
Speaker 2: through a window, but they described it as being about
Speaker 2: nine feet tall with a twenty to thirty foot wingspan.
Speaker 3: All right, is this two nine feet talls?
Speaker 2: But you're seeing it fly past your window, so you
Speaker 2: have limited view. The whole class asked.
Speaker 3: Is this one at the school? Yeah, so i'm picturing
Speaker 3: now now. Granted that one, to me would be easily proved.
Speaker 3: You'd be able to measure that one.
Speaker 2: Oh, because of the window size, Because if.
Speaker 3: You think about it, you yeah, you'd be able to
Speaker 3: figure out the size of the window and how much
Speaker 3: of this thing was in the shot of the window.
Speaker 2: So you think think the teacher just ran to the
Speaker 2: window and started measuring.
Speaker 3: Well, probably not right then, but I'm sure that later
Speaker 3: it was probably like, well, how big was that?
Speaker 2: That?
Speaker 3: That thing was huge? Hold on, I'd be like let's
Speaker 3: measure this window.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the fact that the whole class saw it
Speaker 2: gives it a little bit of credibility.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit. It depends how old we are
Speaker 3: these kids it didn't say that is the important part.
Speaker 2: And a lot of these people don't give their names.
Speaker 2: And I don't know, but it's strange that accounts spans
Speaker 2: so far apart. But maybe his endurance allows him to travel,
Speaker 2: and maybe that would explain the size difference. Some reporting
Speaker 2: seven nine fifteen feet, But like I said, it could
Speaker 2: be the distance thing, and it's hard to tell how
Speaker 2: big something is when it's so far away. Some people
Speaker 2: even described it as having purple eyes or small wings.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, old snelly.
Speaker 2: That's kind of what it gave me too, where the wings.
Speaker 3: Aren't nearly as big as it should be to make
Speaker 3: this thing get off the ground.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty much on the description because there's a
Speaker 2: lot of other small encounters, but they group them, but
Speaker 2: not all of them seem like that they kind of match. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So I'm curious if the creature was dormant within the volcano,
Speaker 2: or some people say he was down in the earth
Speaker 2: and then released after the disturbance, or possibly that the
Speaker 2: volcano eruption transformed him somehow like a spider bite, or
Speaker 2: this could.
Speaker 3: Be like the opposite of the Thing where it was
Speaker 3: trapped in ice and then they drilled to the bottom
Speaker 3: and the thing gets out to talk about, No, I'm
Speaker 3: lost the thing with that?
Speaker 2: Was it? Kurt Russell, Oh, was in a movie called
Speaker 2: The Thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the movie. I'm sorry what I've even seen that one,
Speaker 3: although I just threw down my tissue with authority, excuse me.
Speaker 3: But essentially there's this you hear about them all the time,
Speaker 3: so like the permafrost, people are always afraid that. You
Speaker 3: can see it in some movies. What movie was I
Speaker 3: just watching? I was watching something and it was like
Speaker 3: there were ancient germs, essentially, organisms that were so far
Speaker 3: like they're from forever ago, and then the permafrost and
Speaker 3: then all the snow and all that fun stuff. But
Speaker 3: then like global warming happens and it starts to like melt,
Speaker 3: and then these like old old old organisms come to
Speaker 3: the surface, and then they get people sick, and then
Speaker 3: it's a whole thing because we can't fight it off.
Speaker 3: But they've been here forever, but they've been stuck under.
Speaker 2: The ice that's scary knowing that it lived all that
Speaker 2: time and then it comes back up, because then you're
Speaker 2: screwed for at least ten years until they figure out
Speaker 2: what it is, how to treat it and guinea pig
Speaker 2: everybody as they do that. Yep, that's terrifying. That's a
Speaker 2: good horror movie. Whatever that is.
Speaker 3: I was watching. It was alien based, but what gosh,
Speaker 3: dang it, the Gummy's hit up the Gummy's heading. Yes,
Speaker 3: it's exactly right. I literally just watched. Uh. It was
Speaker 3: like a battle movie too. It's got Chris Pratt in it.
Speaker 3: And they go they have to go to the future.
Speaker 3: They like recruit people like soldiers for the future, and
Speaker 3: they like time travel, so they like swoop this hole.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, what is that called Tomorrow War or something?
Speaker 2: I'll watch. It sounds good, you should watch.
Speaker 3: It's actually really good. It's actually really good. But they
Speaker 3: go through and essentially so it gets we there's these
Speaker 3: aliens that take over the planet and like the specieses
Speaker 3: like humans are toast, like these things are, and they
Speaker 3: can't figure out what's going on. So they start calculating
Speaker 3: the director ejectory and all of these things that are happening,
Speaker 3: and they come to find out that when they go
Speaker 3: back in time, the twenty thirty years or whatever, it's
Speaker 3: that the alien craft had been there the whole time.
Speaker 3: It's just that it crashed into the ice and then
Speaker 3: everything over the you know, centuries, just piling snow and
Speaker 3: ice on top of it. Then the global warming makes
Speaker 3: it fall out, and then like these things get the
Speaker 3: reactivated or whatever, like they come back to life like
Speaker 3: a cryogenically frozen and they fall out kind of situation.
Speaker 2: That's a good movie plot.
Speaker 3: It is really good. It's really good. I think it's
Speaker 3: called Tomorrow War.
Speaker 2: Also in the Pacific Northwest, Bigfoot has been a local
Speaker 2: indigenous people's native lore for centuries in that area, going
Speaker 2: back to Mount Saint Helen's. After the nineteen eighties eruption,
Speaker 2: witnesses reported that people, assumingly governmental agency people were transporting
Speaker 2: bodies of Bigfoot out of there. Some witnesses claim that
Speaker 2: they saw a to cease Bigfoot's body being guard and
Speaker 2: one said that he even saw one being transported in
Speaker 2: a military helicopter. And it will come as no surprise
Speaker 2: the government denies this. So the fact that the spottings
Speaker 2: of batsquatch were in that area and they found bodies. Well,
Speaker 2: supposedly people saw government agencies taking dead bigfoot big feet
Speaker 2: out of there. Big Feet.
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's a good question bigfoots. Maybe it's like, wait,
Speaker 3: what is it? Fish is singular but also plural.
Speaker 2: So bigfoot bigfoot? Okay?
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know. They can't really say, you know,
Speaker 3: like octopus and OCTOPI. I mean that doesn't really work
Speaker 3: out either.
Speaker 2: Bigfoot eye money isn't How would you see it if
Speaker 2: it's being transported in a military copter. Well, they said
Speaker 2: that they saw the hairy body after they saw the
Speaker 2: dead bigfoot being guarded. But it's hard to believe that
Speaker 2: a person walked up and saw this and left to
Speaker 2: tell the tale.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, let's say, are really good binoculars, right,
Speaker 3: Maybe they got good binoculars.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't know how I feel about that.
Speaker 2: Other people think that it may be an alien, given
Speaker 2: how it's able to affect a car's engine, and aliens
Speaker 2: are known to be able to mess with that.
Speaker 3: But that's a kind of echo location infrasound. Do I
Speaker 3: need to keep going?
Speaker 2: Just it's a theory that was out there. I don't
Speaker 2: buy that one.
Speaker 3: But who's to say there can't be a creature that
Speaker 3: uses the equivalency of a superpowered echolocation.
Speaker 2: I think because of his hearing. I don't see why
Speaker 2: he wouldn't like a bat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but what if it's so big that the vibration
Speaker 3: is what kills your car, or like Jimmy's something loose,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I like the vibration in that area that he's vibrating
Speaker 2: so fast. Yeah, that's not to be used in your
Speaker 2: sexting either.
Speaker 3: It's vibrating so fast it's so hard you're welcome listeners.
Speaker 2: Okay. So another theory being that maybe it's another cryptid
Speaker 2: like Mothman that needed to change his hair and dyed
Speaker 2: his hair blue. I mean, I get it. We've all
Speaker 2: been there randomly switched up hair colors all the time.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't have red hair anymore.
Speaker 2: Some people compare him to Mothman, and others say that
Speaker 2: he's comparable to Jersey Devil or the Ahol, who's also
Speaker 2: a bet like cryptid that lurks deep in the jungles
Speaker 2: of Java, Indonesia, getting his name from its cry a hool.
Speaker 3: I'd say that might be far enough away from California
Speaker 3: for it not to be a thing. I mean, unless
Speaker 3: it traverses a very long way, and why would there
Speaker 3: not be a bunch of them unlimited stamina?
Speaker 2: Are they just all related? Mothman's the cousin.
Speaker 3: Oh, I like it, But they also think that some
Speaker 3: think that Mothman is kind of like spiritual and demonic
Speaker 3: as well. I think just anything with those bat wings
Speaker 3: people kind of correlated with that or associated with that.
Speaker 2: But they also have the what do you call that?
Speaker 2: Natural disasters surrounding them, like Mothman and volcanic eruption and
Speaker 2: the bridges and stuff.
Speaker 3: And my vocabulary button is broken today. Ominous right or foreboding? Yes,
Speaker 3: I use that in some notes earlier.
Speaker 2: They're both perfect descriptors though those are good words.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this harbager of doom. Mmm, that's what I was
Speaker 3: thinking of.
Speaker 2: That's about it. I mean, they do say that they're
Speaker 2: supposedly or allegedly photos that someone managed to get of
Speaker 2: the creature, but sadly they've never been analyzed, and I
Speaker 2: couldn't find them online.
Speaker 3: Right because I was trying to find them too, and
Speaker 3: I couldn't find any other than like drawings, like some
Speaker 3: sort of artist's rendition of what happened.
Speaker 2: So whoever has the photos bring them forward? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Right? Or is it one of those situations where you're
Speaker 3: sitting there watching for thirty minutes, but you snap one
Speaker 3: fuzzy photo like the lady who took the one nessy photo.
Speaker 2: I know, why wouldn't you be like click a click
Speaker 2: if you saw something amazing? I would not take one picture.
Speaker 2: People sit and record like Fourth of July fireworks and
Speaker 2: have like twenty minute videos of those, but they would
Speaker 2: only take one picture of NeSSI exactly.
Speaker 3: I'm with you. I'm with you one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: So what do you think about batsquatch condor?
Speaker 3: Don't kid? Actually, all it all serious is though our
Speaker 3: California condors blue? I don't think they are. Aren't they
Speaker 3: like white and black?
Speaker 2: I don't think that that's a necessary color. But can
Speaker 2: they be?
Speaker 3: I got it? So a blue heron and a California
Speaker 3: Condor had a baby.
Speaker 2: Look at Yes, adult California condors can exhibit shades of
Speaker 2: light blue on their bare head and necks. I am
Speaker 2: so proud you and Natasha. You finally have something that
Speaker 2: fits on the California condor.
Speaker 3: Wooh I wish they could see the expression on my
Speaker 3: face when you said that.
Speaker 2: One more thing, they when stressed, frightened, or excited, their
Speaker 2: neck skin can turn and change colors, so they have
Speaker 2: like a chameleon thing on them too, which is insane.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that either, So maybe that's why the
Speaker 2: different hues. If it is a California condor and the
Speaker 2: juveniles have darkish gray heads and necks and start turning
Speaker 2: after four years old.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you a condor for once, thank god, and
Speaker 3: the condor I think it fits. But aside from that though,
Speaker 3: but no abs, No, you can't win them all. Only
Speaker 3: one picture had abs that I could find, so maybe
Speaker 3: it was just maybe they were making their own smut
Speaker 3: novel and they wanted a big beefy batsquatch beefy Bertha batsquatch. Uh.
Speaker 3: But my thing is the wings get me because even
Speaker 3: if it's something that is bad, we imagine how big
Speaker 3: those wings have to be because they're not real sturdy.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just that membranous layer in between the
Speaker 3: really long fingerbones essentially.
Speaker 2: And they say the very leathery to support that height
Speaker 2: and weight, they would have to be big.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that weight I calculated the weight based on
Speaker 3: the fact that it literally said that it was the
Speaker 3: weight of two grizzly bears. So I just went off.
Speaker 2: Of measured this. When did I get on a scale?
Speaker 2: I stopped on it stopped on a highway truck stop
Speaker 2: for a second, and I was like, hold on, second
Speaker 2: I wrote it down.
Speaker 3: There was another Oh my gosh an episode that I
Speaker 3: was listening to that they said it was so heavy
Speaker 3: that it took eight oxen to pull it out of
Speaker 3: the water. That's how heavy they measured it. Eight oxen
Speaker 3: had to pull it out right, hey, right right, So
Speaker 3: that was that was kind of my gig. But I
Speaker 3: just I mean, I guess. I mean, fifty feet wingspan
Speaker 3: is a very large wingspan for something that's only potentially
Speaker 3: nine feet tall.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I believe this, but I would
Speaker 2: love it if it was a pterodactyl that was dormant
Speaker 2: in the volcano for all those years, just like living, reproducing,
Speaker 2: and this was the father that would do get milk.
Speaker 2: And he just like was like, all right.
Speaker 3: Out, whoa, I am having really bad de ja vous.
Speaker 3: This is really weird. Okay, I'm going to say this.
Speaker 3: I guess again, because my brain thinks I've already said
Speaker 3: it once, but they do say dinosaurs. Now they are
Speaker 3: saying that they had feathers, because I'm gonna be like, well,
Speaker 3: how do you get a reptile and mix it up
Speaker 3: with an ape? But if there's short feathers, I can
Speaker 3: see it kind of appearing feathery, almost like a baby
Speaker 3: penguin kind of situation, you know, where they're kind of
Speaker 3: like fuzzy.
Speaker 2: But if he was in the cave for so many years,
Speaker 2: he could have his makeup could have changed, like if
Speaker 2: he wasn't in the sun, if he wasn't whatever.
Speaker 3: True, But what if he's a very well groomed batsquadh.
Speaker 2: He just got his wings done.
Speaker 3: I just got my wings done. Oh my gosh. Can
Speaker 3: you imagine they got a little like nail polish on
Speaker 3: the tips? I'm thinking pink, like hot pink.
Speaker 2: Do you know the stupidest thing I used to do
Speaker 2: with nails when I was a teenager, You know the
Speaker 2: little gems you could put at the end. It was
Speaker 2: like an earring almost on your nail. Yeah, like the
Speaker 2: little dangly things though, cutest things. And then I went
Speaker 2: home with them and they are the most impractical things
Speaker 2: in the world. You go to put your clothes on
Speaker 2: it snagging, you go to brush your hair at snagging,
Speaker 2: Like they're not practical unless you do nothing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like those people that have like mile long fingernails.
Speaker 2: And they astound me. I don't know how that too.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm like, how would you wipe your butt?
Speaker 2: But all of it, like how do you function? I'm
Speaker 2: like jealous. You see the ones typing and stuff, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, how are you doing that?
Speaker 3: Yes, so I'm very bold or I just have really
Speaker 3: poor judgment or horrible social skills. I really don't know which,
Speaker 3: but some combination of those. And I saw lady I
Speaker 3: was like a doctor's office and I saw her nails
Speaker 3: and I was like, dude, I've got to ask total stranger,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, how do you wipe your butt? Oh?
Speaker 3: My god? She stops dead, seriously, goes very carefully.
Speaker 2: Good answer, I know, but I was just like, how do.
Speaker 3: You wipe your butt? Stranger? Like oops, no shame here,
Speaker 3: no shame. I'm just there's so many different descriptions of
Speaker 3: this thing that and that's where I struggle because it's
Speaker 3: like all these different things and they just slap a
Speaker 3: label of batsquatch on it.
Speaker 2: There's so many flying encryptids as well, So who's just
Speaker 2: say one wasn't one, one was another, one was another exactly?
Speaker 3: Maybe he was just okay, okay, hold on, what if
Speaker 3: it's this is gonna be like a horrible thing, but
Speaker 3: we're gonna go there anyway. Why not just like we
Speaker 3: have the people that have that weird skin disc order
Speaker 3: where they grow hair everywhere, including their face.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what if it's just that this guy has that
Speaker 2: weird malfunction that he can't grow hair, or can that
Speaker 2: he has hair everywhere? But that wouldn't explain the wings.
Speaker 3: It might be the I'll go with the panderodactyls theory.
Speaker 2: Oh if he said, well, that's true, every animal can
Speaker 2: have some sort of.
Speaker 3: Like peach foot birth defect.
Speaker 2: I don't know if i'd call it a birth defect
Speaker 2: but abnormality to their species.
Speaker 3: Or what if it would have been birdesque wings? But
Speaker 3: that is the genetic mutation, is that it's like mangy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if it was Maine enough, I could see it. No,
Speaker 2: I could see it appearing leathery if you have those patches,
Speaker 2: and most of these people only see him for a second,
Speaker 2: and the guy in the car was probably pooping his
Speaker 2: pants watching it, trying to figure out what the hell
Speaker 2: do I don't think he was focused so much on
Speaker 2: that as am I gonna die?
Speaker 3: He's the one that it was nine feet tall? And
Speaker 3: was that the same guy that had a fifty foot
Speaker 3: wingspan this? Or was that the school one? Because I
Speaker 3: feel like the guy that saw a nine feet tall
Speaker 3: didn't even mention the wings.
Speaker 2: He didn't he didn't say a wingspan. The people that
Speaker 2: were hiking by Mount Shasta that said that a creature
Speaker 2: came out of the mountain and out of a crevice
Speaker 2: said fifty feet wingspan, and the school said twenty to
Speaker 2: thirty feet, and the guy that was walking his dog
Speaker 2: didn't give a wingspan.
Speaker 3: But they did say that it was flying though, right, yeah,
Speaker 3: that it flew away. Okay, okay, Superman pose.
Speaker 2: Which again, from that far away, how do you see
Speaker 2: nine feet?
Speaker 3: I guess it depends on the background.
Speaker 2: There was some episode we did together where a guy
Speaker 2: took a dollar out of his pocket and held it
Speaker 2: up and that's how he measured. And I still don't
Speaker 2: get that it's two dollars wide, so it's nine feet,
Speaker 2: Like what, you don't know the distance. You're not the
Speaker 2: phone out unless it's something that you have.
Speaker 3: That you know how big it is and it's always
Speaker 3: the same size. Oh my god, this is getting work.
Speaker 2: But even then, you don't know like how far away
Speaker 2: it is, Like you can't say, like, okay, it's a
Speaker 2: water bottle. If it's one hundred feet away or a
Speaker 2: thousand feet away, it's gonna be a different measurement.
Speaker 3: He could be by a road sign and then you
Speaker 3: can go measure the road sign.
Speaker 2: In the sky.
Speaker 3: Oh in the sky, never mind. Uh, maybe they were
Speaker 3: ex military and they used to be in the air forced.
Speaker 3: I'm trying every excuse for these people. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm out of options. That's all. I got California condor.
Speaker 2: Okay, so California condor for you, and I think it's
Speaker 2: a pterodactyl.
Speaker 3: Sold all right.
Speaker 2: Well, I guess that's it. I finally covered bat Squatch.
Speaker 3: And you're welcome. You're gonna have to label this smut
Speaker 3: novels and Batsquatch podcast name done.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, thank you so much Natasha for coming
Speaker 2: on and eggs bring in your I know you must
Speaker 2: be so excited. You finally got to use California Condor.
