Joseph Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon Bonaparte and once the proud king of Spain before being 415 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,800 forced to abdicate his throne in 1813 because he did a piss poor job of defending Spain 416 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,520 from England during the Peninsular Wars, was forced into exile. 417 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:48,240 I mean, listen, the Bonaparte's just shouldn't have been shouldn't have been leaders ever. 418 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,640 Not one of historian. 419 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:55,920 But you know, so so in his exile, he settled in on 800 800 acres of land in Bordentown, 420 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,560 New Jersey, located right in the middle of New York and Philadelphia. 421 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:04,480 Now he chose this spot because at the time New York and Philadelphia were the two biggest 422 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:10,280 seaports and he was able to keep up to date with the latest goings on in Spain and France. 423 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,440 Now homeboy, even though he was no longer a king, doesn't mean he didn't ball out of 424 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:15,960 control like one, Nick. 425 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,120 OK, of course he did. 426 00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:21,520 He built a massive mansion with landscaping, fountains, parkland, the whole nine yards. 427 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:27,120 He even hosted parties there with like the likes of John Adams and Daniel Webster. 428 00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:30,120 Homeboy partied with the fucking dictionary guy. 429 00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:31,120 That's kind of awesome. 430 00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:34,720 And Sam Adams brother, so you know that beer was good. 431 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:35,720 Yeah, maybe. 432 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:36,720 I don't know. 433 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:37,720 What does John Adams got to do? 434 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:38,720 He didn't do any of that shit. 435 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,720 Now, you probably you probably got the friends and family discount. 436 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,360 No, none of this is relevant to the story. 437 00:20:45,360 --> 00:20:50,480 I just needed to pad some of the story with a little bit of like words. 438 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:51,480 So I added all that in. 439 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,640 But it's just a little history lesson. 440 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,240 And I thought that'd be good for everyone listening so that way they could say they 441 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,680 actually like learned something real on the show that wasn't about the folkloric monster. 442 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:01,680 Yeah. 443 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,520 I mean, the cool part about that is like Joseph Vargaard was like a very revered hunter. 444 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:06,520 Right. 445 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:14,680 Like people knew him as like the like if Napoleon didn't get France, you know, the idea was 446 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,040 that Joseph was going to take over and that we would have the course of history would 447 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,040 have changed. 448 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,280 But obviously, Napoleon got France. 449 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,320 But Joseph was like a very avid hunter. 450 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,340 And the story goes that he was like hunting and he heard something, homie. 451 00:21:27,340 --> 00:21:30,400 And then he went on like, oh, don't get ahead of yourself, bro. 452 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,360 I'm telling the story now. 453 00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:35,720 I wasn't sure you said that you were just trying to give a spice lesson. 454 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,760 Well, spice history lesson. 455 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:43,100 So Joseph Bonaparte was hunting alone on a snowy afternoon deep in the woods as he's 456 00:21:43,100 --> 00:21:44,980 trekking his way through the forest. 457 00:21:44,980 --> 00:21:47,160 He comes across some odd looking tracks. 458 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,960 Joseph described the tracks as looking like a two footed donkey with one foot being slightly 459 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,540 larger than the other. 460 00:21:53,540 --> 00:21:57,620 So he followed the tracks for some time before they just like abruptly stopped in the snow 461 00:21:57,620 --> 00:22:02,880 as if whatever he was hunting just either flew away or simply vanished. 462 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,920 Now, as X King Bonaparte sat and stared at the tracks trying to figure out what kind 463 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:12,160 of animal they could possibly be from, he heard a strange hissing noise coming from 464 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,000 right behind him. 465 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,840 Joseph slowly turned around and found himself face to face with a very large, very horse 466 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,000 faced wing creature. 467 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:28,640 The frozen place due to what I can only assume is what I am calling load bearing terror. 468 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,920 That's what you call it when you're so afraid that you just shit your pants. 469 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,960 So I mean, I've been there. 470 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:39,440 So the dude, the two just kind of sat there staring at each other for a bit. 471 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,480 Neither one of them moving in my head. 472 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,400 They're doing that thing where they're really close face to face and they both keep kind 473 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,960 of like glancing down at each other's lips as if they're going to kiss as if they're 474 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:50,960 going to start making out. 475 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:51,960 Yeah. 476 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:52,960 So that's what happened. 477 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,640 The creature hissed at him one last time, flapped its wings and then just took off into 478 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:56,640 the woods. 479 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,080 I have a feeling he clapped them Jersey cheeks. 480 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,560 Probably. 481 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:06,520 Upon returning later that evening, Joseph recounted the story to a friend who informed 482 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,600 them that he just came like face to face with the Jersey devil. 483 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:15,160 Bonaparte loved the story of the Jersey devil and his origin story so much that he like, 484 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,800 like you said, he made it a point to try and track it down every single time he went out 485 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:20,800 hunting. 486 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:26,160 But sadly he never did see it again and things in Europe around this time started to settle 487 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,160 down. 488 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,040 So he returned to be with his wife in Italy, but he never forgot the devil. 489 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,360 I'm sure the devil forgot him though, because Bonaparte really didn't do much to impress 490 00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:36,360 him. 491 00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:37,360 I mean, it was also the devil. 492 00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:38,960 I mean, he had other things too. 493 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:39,960 Yeah. 494 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:45,760 And I don't know if like Joseph was so afraid or like what, but dude was hunting. 495 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:46,760 He had a gun. 496 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,280 Why didn't he try and fucking shoot it? 497 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:50,280 I'm sure he did. 498 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,120 I mean, I think the problem is like the same thing that we deal with with every cryptid 499 00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:55,920 story, right? 500 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,320 Someone shoots it and misses. 501 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,320 True. 502 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,040 Or it just doesn't affect them at all. 503 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,040 Right. 504 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,040 Yeah. 505 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:06,180 But, but yeah, those are, those are a couple of the couple sighting stories of the Jersey 506 00:24:06,180 --> 00:24:08,320 devil and that's all I got. 507 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,000 I didn't don't have much more than that. 508 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,000 Where are you at Nick? 509 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,000 What are you thinking? 510 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:18,200 I mean, listen, like I know plenty of people who were born and raised in the pines and 511 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:24,320 you know, I would say at least five out of 10 or five out of eight have a Jersey devil 512 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:25,320 story. 513 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:26,320 That's a, that's a pretty big ratio. 514 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:27,320 Right. 515 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,200 Like, so there's something going on out there. 516 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:35,280 I mean, I haven't seen the, you know, the old, the old JD, I wish that I've seen the 517 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:40,800 JD, but like I've had weird stuff happen with my brother while we were camping out there 518 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:41,800 a few times. 519 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,600 So, you know, do I want to believe? 520 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,160 Absolutely, but like something, something regardless is going on out there. 521 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,800 I don't know if I believe in the Jersey devil specifically. 522 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:57,200 Do I believe that there's probably shit in the pines that like is fucking around and 523 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,200 fucking shit up? 524 00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,200 Yeah, I do. 525 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,200 Big time. 526 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,200 Big time. 527 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,360 Cause Luke had a good story on our last episode about how he was camping and then he kept 528 00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:07,800 hearing someone walking around his tent, but he couldn't see anyone. 529 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:12,360 And then when he went outside, he saw like there was footprints circling his tent, but 530 00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:13,360 they were bigger than his. 531 00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:15,720 He couldn't see anything when you, like, you know what I mean? 532 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,200 Like, so there is something there. 533 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,920 I don't know if I believe in the Jersey devil though. 534 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,200 So Jordan and I, yeah. 535 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:29,000 I mean, that's the thing too is like these stories at this point are, you know, some 536 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,960 of them are just under 200 years old. 537 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:32,960 Yeah. 538 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,520 And back then people, you know, were known for embellishing, especially since back then 539 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,760 a lot of the stories were word to like word of mouth and then it would get, it would get 540 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,800 just embellished over time and time and time before it was actually ever eventually written 541 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:44,800 down. 542 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:45,800 Yeah. 543 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,280 And I think right now what we're dealing with is there's so many generations of stories, 544 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:51,280 right? 545 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,840 Like my friend John like grew up in the Pine Barrens and he's, he's pretty straight shooter, 546 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:55,840 right? 547 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,800 He's not like doesn't drink, doesn't smoke. 548 00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,880 He just does his own thing. 549 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:01,680 Works for SEPTA. 550 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,520 So you know, the city of Philadelphia trusts him to drive, you know, a bus. 551 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,080 They trust anyone to do that though. 552 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,080 True. 553 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:10,480 But he hasn't crashed one yet. 554 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,480 That's my knowledge. 555 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:12,480 That's valid. 556 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:13,480 My knowledge. 557 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,640 But like he has a pretty wild story that like him and his friends were like out camping 558 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,720 and like something like crashed into their tent and they couldn't get out quick enough 559 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,560 to see what it was. 560 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,200 And they just ran off, right? 561 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:25,200 And there was no deer tracks. 562 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,280 There was no bear tracks, like nothing along those lines. 563 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:36,360 And then Jordan and I were camping last April and it was so much like we didn't think it 564 00:26:36,360 --> 00:26:39,640 was the Jersey Devil, but there was some weird shit going on and kept hearing things all 565 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:40,640 throughout the woods. 566 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,840 Like I camp out there all the time. 567 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,720 Like I have a pretty good idea of what deer sounds like. 568 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,600 What like, you know, you know, you know what the wilderness in your immediate area should 569 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:51,600 sound like. 570 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,800 It's 45 minutes, you know, door to camp. 571 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,800 And we just kept hearing like weird stuff and like trees were getting slammed all over. 572 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,520 And then the next morning we like, we're seeing all these weird lights. 573 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,520 Not that it was like an alien light, but there's like weird shit going on. 574 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:07,520 Yeah. 575 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:08,520 It is also really early. 576 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,640 It's, it's, you know, it's swamp gas. 577 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,880 Oh, it's, I mean, we were right on a swamp. 578 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:14,880 All of it's swamp. 579 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,160 It's all swamp gas. 580 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:17,160 Any weird thing you saw? 581 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,160 Swamp gas, bud. 582 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,160 Clearly. 583 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,800 But I mean, there's something going on in the pines. 584 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:28,680 It's such a large area that they're, you know, for miles, you're really not seeing anybody. 585 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:34,000 Yeah, it is, it is a big enough area where like it could sustain something, but it has 586 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,360 also to be a breeding population. 587 00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:39,040 I mean, the Jersey devil technically is like, what's the word? 588 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,040 A demon is like parent. 589 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:41,040 Yeah. 590 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,160 It's paranormal or whatever you want to call it. 591 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:43,480 So I guess you don't need that. 592 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,520 But at the same time, like, come on, man, get out of town. 593 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:48,520 I get it. 594 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:49,520 I get it. 595 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,320 I mean, listen, I think that this area of the nation is so old. 596 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,320 Yeah. 597 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:54,440 I'm not saying it doesn't exist. 598 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:59,320 I'm just saying that it's going to take more for me to believe and I believe in a lot of 599 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,120 weird fucking shit, man. 600 00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:06,480 I mean, listen, I still think that we you and I go out there with one of my portable 601 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,800 recorders and we just record an episode. 602 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,320 And it's a bonus just sitting out in the pines drinking some Miller lattes. 603 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:18,520 Also, I don't know if you can hear this right now, but you live semi close to me. 604 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,680 Do you know about the the makeshift parades that go on? 605 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:23,680 Yeah. 606 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,280 There's one going on by my house right now and I can hear it. 607 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:28,280 My door shut. 608 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,280 The mattress is in front of the door and it's it's still loud. 609 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:36,560 This morning we went to Urban Jungle that like a place in South Philly. 610 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:37,560 Yeah. 611 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,320 We went there this morning and we fucking as we were parking, we had to go turn down 612 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:42,320 a street. 613 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,320 There's just a just a parade. 614 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,920 And I don't know if it was like a Polish thing or what, but it's like just like polka 615 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:47,920 and brass music. 616 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:48,920 Oh, it's Oktoberfest. 617 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,760 You know, no, I don't. 618 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:56,280 But this sounded like fucking like it almost sounded more like a like those New Orleans 619 00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,200 like funeral type things. 620 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,360 It was kind of like that. 621 00:29:01,360 -->
