00:01:09,860 --> 00:01:15,980
My friends are doing some some wine tasting right now. That's really not my my thing riveting

10
00:01:15,980 --> 00:01:18,540
So we'll hang over from last night

11
00:01:20,260 --> 00:01:22,260
Yeah, it's been a week

12
00:01:22,260 --> 00:01:27,320
Car died got my car right before I left for Virginia. It was sweet

13
00:01:27,980 --> 00:01:34,340
Got to Virginia at like nine o'clock last night and walked into the Airbnb was handed a beer and a shot and I've been going

14
00:01:34,340 --> 00:01:40,240
Since as a bachelor party should go, you know, yeah, I kept my notebook on me and by my notebook

15
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,840
I mean, it's a little sheet of paper that has been sitting in my car for the past week

16
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,460
I mean, what is what is a notebook really besides just sheets of paper?

17
00:01:47,460 --> 00:01:51,860
It's just sheets of paper stitched together. Oh

18
00:01:52,620 --> 00:01:55,140
Well Nicholas today we're gonna be doing something a little different

19
00:01:57,140 --> 00:02:03,460
You wanted to tell me a story of a crypto that you think I have never heard of which I probably haven't so

20
00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:10,060
Let me let me ask myself this am I a cryptids guy? I mean, yeah, I dabble well blah blah blah

21
00:02:10,580 --> 00:02:12,220
So what you got for me?

22
00:02:12,220 --> 00:02:14,220
all right, so we're gonna go to a

23
00:02:14,900 --> 00:02:16,660
magical place in

24
00:02:16,660 --> 00:02:18,340
North America

25
00:02:18,340 --> 00:02:23,580
That is actually rumored to be a has rumored to been rumored to be a mob graveyard

26
00:02:24,220 --> 00:02:26,220
since the 1920s

27
00:02:27,220 --> 00:02:29,220
Hold on real quick. I

28
00:02:29,540 --> 00:02:35,180
Misheard you for a second and I thought you said you said mob with a B, right? Mm-hmm. I heard mom

29
00:02:35,660 --> 00:02:41,980
Yeah, it's not a mom graveyard. There might be some moms in there depending on who they owed money to but it has been a

30
00:02:41,980 --> 00:02:48,180
I was like this is gonna be a mob graveyard since the 20s. It's gonna get real dark real quick. Holy shit. Oh, yeah

31
00:02:48,180 --> 00:02:50,580
Oh, yeah, so we are gonna be

32
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:55,780
What kind of guess where magically? Yeah, you want to guess guess and see where we can go Tulsa, Oklahoma

33
00:02:57,100 --> 00:02:59,100
No, am I close?

34
00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:01,860
It starts with a T sort of Trenton

35
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:08,060
No, it's not in the East Coast. I don't know that where you go. Where are we being transported to today?

36
00:03:08,060 --> 00:03:14,300
All right, so we're being transported to Lake Tahoe in Nevada. Well, that does not start with a T

37
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:19,900
That starts with an L sort of does okay, but you hear the word take Lake and it's Tahoe

38
00:03:25,140 --> 00:03:30,900
All right, so besides the fact that Lake Tahoe has been a rumored, you know graveyard for the Mafia

39
00:03:31,140 --> 00:03:37,060
It is also one of the largest lakes on the West Coast. It's but at certain points about 1200 feet deep

40
00:03:37,060 --> 00:03:39,060
it's about 12 miles long and

41
00:03:39,580 --> 00:03:45,220
And it is home to one of North America's very own lake monsters aka

42
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:47,900
Tahoe Tessie, Tahoe Tessie

43
00:03:47,940 --> 00:03:49,940
Tahoe Tessie

44
00:03:49,940 --> 00:03:57,980
I love it. I love Tessie. I am gonna be honest. I know the name Tahoe Tessie, but I literally know nothing about the actual

45
00:03:59,660 --> 00:04:00,900
Animal

46
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:02,900
So it's actually pretty cool

47
00:04:02,900 --> 00:04:03,660
Tahoe Tessie

48
00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:09,300
There's been stories of a serpent-like monster in Lake Tahoe dating back to the 1800s from both. I'm gonna butcher this

49
00:04:09,860 --> 00:04:11,980
the Wasahoe and Paiute tribes

50
00:04:12,540 --> 00:04:18,780
People have been telling stories and literally since you know early to late 17 or early 1800s late 1700s

51
00:04:18,980 --> 00:04:26,340
So there is quite a bit of history behind this obviously the name does you know get taken from the more popular and more well-known

52
00:04:27,340 --> 00:04:29,340
Nessie of Loch Ness

53
00:04:29,340 --> 00:04:31,340
I have tattooed to my arm

54
00:04:31,340 --> 00:04:36,060
Because Americans are nothing but unoriginal if I oh yeah, we are we are a

55
00:04:37,340 --> 00:04:44,700
Very lazy people when it comes to creating names for things. I mean yeah, Coca-Cola used to have cocaine in it

56
00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:47,500
Come on. Come on. We need to get back to our roots

57
00:04:48,940 --> 00:04:50,940
Back to our roots here

58
00:04:51,220 --> 00:04:55,580
So yeah, I mean it kind of goes around the same lines of what Nessie is

59
00:04:55,580 --> 00:05:02,020
Supportedly anywhere from 10 to 60 feet depending on or 10 to 50 feet in length depending on who sees it when they see it

60
00:05:02,020 --> 00:05:03,380
And things of that nature

61
00:05:03,380 --> 00:05:10,060
While there are a few different descriptions, it's mostly widely accepted that it does have that certainty placerataurus

62
00:05:10,540 --> 00:05:17,580
I'm again butchering dinosaur names look kind of similar to what Loch Ness or what Nessie of the Loch Ness

63
00:05:19,580 --> 00:05:24,660
Because my first question was gonna be as you said that there's been stories of a serpentine monster in the lake

64
00:05:24,660 --> 00:05:26,900
But when I think of Nessie

65
00:05:27,580 --> 00:05:29,580
Is that what you said?

66
00:05:32,860 --> 00:05:34,860
Yeah, so I was thinking like a

67
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:40,740
like a like a big snake kind of thing, but you're saying the description more fits like Nessie and

68
00:05:41,980 --> 00:05:43,980
What's the one from Lake Champlain?

69
00:05:45,020 --> 00:05:50,020
Yeah, so I was thinking more like a plesiosaur is that what it is yeah there we go yeah, please yes, sir

70
00:05:50,020 --> 00:05:55,460
Yeah, so is it like that or is it or is it like a snake not a snake? But you like a water dragon?

71
00:05:55,460 --> 00:05:59,700
There's been a few different sightings most of the sightings do kind of have that plesiosaur

72
00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:07,100
You know look to them for example one of the most well reported and most talked about sightings actually dates back to 1959

73
00:06:07,460 --> 00:06:13,740
Where you know we have another great named police officer. Fuck yes. This is the best part of the show a

74
00:06:13,740 --> 00:06:20,340
Fantastically named police officer so 1959 off-duty

75
00:06:21,380 --> 00:06:23,380
police officer Mickey Daniels

76
00:06:23,780 --> 00:06:25,300
Mickey

77
00:06:25,300 --> 00:06:29,120
Mickey Daniels, he sounds like a fucking old Red Sox player

78
00:06:29,740 --> 00:06:35,580
Like someone who is just belligerently drunk when he got up to bat like I'm talking about like Babe Ruth era baseball player

79
00:06:35,580 --> 00:06:39,740
Oh, yeah, just like chugging fucking brandy right before he goes up like a

80
00:06:39,740 --> 00:06:45,620
Very long cigar in his mouth yeah backwards ready to rock back when being an athlete just meant you had to be present and not

81
00:06:45,620 --> 00:06:47,740
Physically fit you just had to show up. Yeah

82
00:06:48,260 --> 00:06:50,740
Just like you're eating hot dogs by the pound

83
00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:57,660
You got 15 dogs lined up from when you like fall over third base cuz you're too drunk

84
00:06:57,820 --> 00:06:59,820
That's what a time to be alive

85
00:07:00,740 --> 00:07:04,120
Time to be alive so so wait McDaniels

86
00:07:05,060 --> 00:07:07,380
Mickey Mickey Daniels and McDaniels

87
00:07:07,380 --> 00:07:10,500
Mickey Daniels is an Irish last name. What's all

88
00:07:11,540 --> 00:07:13,540
sounds like a

89
00:07:13,740 --> 00:07:15,900
like a WWE character a

90
00:07:16,940 --> 00:07:18,940
wrestler

91
00:07:24,260 --> 00:07:30,380
That's what it sounds like all right so so Mickey D saw something big Mickey D

92
00:07:31,900 --> 00:07:36,520
Was named Big Mac well he has to be yeah his boat in

93
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,520
1959 was named the Big Mac which is fantastic I like that

94
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,920
So officer Mickey Daniels and his buddy were fishing

95
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:49,960
And they noticed that some of the wonder what I'm coming to them was getting very choppy and very rough

96
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,920
And then out of nowhere something nudged the boat now

97
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,080
This is not exactly easy to do considering the Big Mac was 43 feet long

98
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:04,760
I don't know if you're a seafaring person but a 43 foot long boat is a pretty hard to move

99
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:10,960
That's a big boat. Especially yeah, it's a big boat. You know I don't think if you were I don't think you're gonna need a bigger boat

100
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,960
But you might depending on what you're hunting

101
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,760
So originally his buddy thought that it was a you know could have been awake and

102
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,760
I immediately realized that it could not be awake and then awake could not have been awake

103
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,640
So he thought that it was a big boat and then he thought that it was a big boat

104
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,440
So he thought that it was a big boat and then he thought that it was a big boat

105
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,440
And then he realized that it could not be awake and then awake could not have shoved the boat with such force

106
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:40,400
And they both looked on their starboard side to see a very large V shaped shadow

107
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:47,440
Racing through the water now they were doing about 60 miles an hour now for all of you who are not nautical

108
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,160
enthusiasts such as myself

109
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:52,560
starboard means

110
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:54,560
right side

111
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:56,560
I kept reading I

112
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:03,560
Have a kayak that's as much seafaring as I do so starboard is right and then port is left

113
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:06,040
I only know that because port has the same amount of numbers

114
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,960
Numbers letters as left and then you got the bow and then the stern

115
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,600
Bow is the first turn is the back. Okay, sir. Is the back. Oh, yeah, cuz you yeah

116
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,980
Something new I used to go sailing all the time. Don't worry about it

117
00:09:20,980 --> 00:09:25,980
Don't worry about it Nick don't look at me like that. I love you like a brother, but I can I can never see you sailing

118
00:09:25,980 --> 00:09:30,980
I know I do that. I know how to I know how to put up a I know how to put up a jib

119
00:09:30,980 --> 00:09:38,460
It's a sail. I know how to put up. Are you the main series? Yeah, I know how to sail. I had a weird childhood

120
00:09:38,460 --> 00:09:42,980
I had a weird childhood. Anyways, I was white and grew up in New Hampshire. All right. All right

121
00:09:45,980 --> 00:09:47,980
Well, okay then yeah, sorry about that

122
00:09:47,980 --> 00:09:52,980
So that this creature was spotted underneath the water obviously was showed a

123
00:09:53,980 --> 00:09:57,980
Very large, you know shadow just racing by the boat was doing about 60 miles an hour

124
00:09:57,980 --> 00:10:03,980
So it's not like something couldn't hit it shortly or softly for it to kind of be rocked around. Yeah

125
00:10:04,980 --> 00:10:10,980
Actually reared its head for a split second and Mick Daniels or Mickey Daniels actually spent his life

126
00:10:11,980 --> 00:10:14,980
Walking around the Lake Tahoe Bay around the lake

127
00:10:14,980 --> 00:10:20,980
Walking around the Lake Tahoe Bay or on the shoreline taking his kayak out taking his boats again

128
00:10:20,980 --> 00:10:22,980
Pretty much up until the day he died in 2017

129
00:10:23,980 --> 00:10:29,980
To you know try and catch another glimpse of this this creature because obviously he had heard stories before this and this encounter

130
00:10:29,980 --> 00:10:36,980
Yeah, so this dude had one encounter in the 50s and then spent the next 65 years like dedicating his

131
00:10:37,980 --> 00:10:42,980
God, I was like he was an avid fisherman. He lived in that region. So

132
00:10:42,980 --> 00:10:48,980
I just but he yeah, you know, he quoted it. You know, there's a few articles from you know, local news station saying that yeah

133
00:10:48,980 --> 00:10:50,980
He is like he wants to see it again. He was very interested

134
00:10:50,980 --> 00:10:56,980
You know, he firmly believes in what he saw and then there was no record of his friend ever talking about it again

135
00:10:56,980 --> 00:10:59,980
Couldn't find a thing. I just wish I loved something that much

136
00:11:00,980 --> 00:11:03,980
Yeah, I mean same like nothing is ever like besides Star Wars

137
00:11:03,980 --> 00:11:09,980
I guess but nothing is ever like I've never seen something about like that's who I am as a person. This is what yeah

138
00:11:09,980 --> 00:11:13,980
I know Mickey Daniels Tahoe Tessie Hunter. Yeah, like I

139
00:11:14,980 --> 00:11:19,980
Like that like that is dedication and passion right there like good for him. Oh, yeah, it must been super fucking frustrating though

140
00:11:19,980 --> 00:11:21,980
That's the one thing like I

141
00:11:21,980 --> 00:11:26,980
Like doing the show cuz I like researching cryptids and stuff like that, but I've never come across one where like I've been like, that's it

142
00:11:26,980 --> 00:11:27,980
That's the one

143
00:11:27,980 --> 00:11:33,980
This is this is the hill I will die on except for maybe the flat was monster only because I think we'd be best friends

144
00:11:33,980 --> 00:11:38,980
And that's you I can see you being best friends of the metal man the Falkville metal man. Yeah

145
00:11:39,980 --> 00:11:41,980
I don't know. All right. Sorry. I

146
00:11:41,980 --> 00:11:47,980
Well me me not as the host is a really bad idea cuz I've baked this show go way off the fucking rails

147
00:11:47,980 --> 00:11:52,980
But I love it. I'm having a great time. It's totally fine. I'm having a great time. So there's a few other sightings

148
00:11:53,980 --> 00:11:59,980
Actually flash forward to 1979 for fishermen actually saw it hunting a school of trout

149
00:11:59,980 --> 00:12:03,980
And this one was a lot more aggressive because it was literally well hunting around

150
00:12:03,980 --> 00:12:10,980
Okay, and it kept causing so much wake in the water that their small fishing vessel was actually kind of pushed around a lot more

151
00:12:10,980 --> 00:12:12,980
So Tahoe Tessie has a nest

152
00:12:12,980 --> 00:12:20,980
You know the habit of knocking around on boats Tahoe Tessie sounds like I'm gonna assume it's a she Tessie sounds like a girl's name to me

153
00:12:21,980 --> 00:12:26,980
But Tahoe Tessie sounds like she woke up and shows violence every day of her life

154
00:12:26,980 --> 00:12:31,980
And shows violence every day of her life, and I love it. I respect her. Oh absolutely

155
00:12:32,980 --> 00:12:38,980
Absolutely Tahoe Tessie is that girl in your school who like comes in and fucks with the bullies?

156
00:12:39,980 --> 00:12:41,980
Yeah, but it's also a bully herself

157
00:12:41,980 --> 00:12:49,980
Yeah, she's the bully of bullies. She doesn't like bully other people, but she bullies the bullies. She's almost like a large Marge from Pee Wee Herman

158
00:12:49,980 --> 00:12:54,980
All right, I'll accept that so flash forward to a you know 79 they see it peering its head

159
00:12:54,980 --> 00:12:59,980
Hold on real quick Nicholas stop clasping your watch. It's all I can hear

160
00:12:59,980 --> 00:13:01,980
Sorry

161
00:13:01,980 --> 00:13:03,980
ADD at its finest

162
00:13:03,980 --> 00:13:09,980
I'm sorry, this is like really loud somehow that somehow it's louder than you talking and you're talking into a microphone

163
00:13:09,980 --> 00:13:11,980
I don't know how that's happening

164
00:13:11,980 --> 00:13:13,980
Sorry to all of us

165
00:13:13,980 --> 00:13:15,980
So sorry, we're sorry

166
00:13:15,980 --> 00:13:17,980
We're sorry

167
00:13:17,980 --> 00:13:19,980
We're sorry

168
00:13:19,980 --> 00:13:21,980
We're sorry

169
00:13:21,980 --> 00:13:27,980
Yeah, so 79 it was spotted a hunting fish this happened a few times actually within that year

170
00:13:27,980 --> 00:13:30,980
Oh, so this is this multiple times within the year

171
00:13:30,980 --> 00:13:35,980
Multiple sightings yeah within the year there was a few people that you know actually talked to weird

172
00:13:35,980 --> 00:13:39,980
California and weird, Nevada about seeing it hunting multiple times

173
00:13:39,980 --> 00:13:45,980
Which is pretty cool because you don't really see or hear too many often or hear too often about stories of cryptids

174
00:13:45,980 --> 00:13:47,980
Hunting other things which I think is interesting

175
00:13:47,980 --> 00:13:54,980
I think the only time you hear about that is like big big feet. Is that the plural of big big big big foot big five?

176
00:13:54,980 --> 00:13:56,980
I always just called big foot

177
00:13:56,980 --> 00:13:59,980
Is that the big feats we're getting into weird foot we're getting to a weird thing

178
00:13:59,980 --> 00:14:05,980
I feel like the only time you ever hear of like a crypt is like hunting like a store a story of a cryptid hunting is usually

179
00:14:05,980 --> 00:14:07,980
Bigfoot is usually hunting you

180
00:14:07,980 --> 00:14:11,980
Well, yeah, but I feel like it this kind of shows like the more

181
00:14:11,980 --> 00:14:17,980
You know if you break down cryptozoology, it's literally just the study of unknown animals

182
00:14:17,980 --> 00:14:21,980
So you're seeing like an animal in its natural habitat just hunting fish, which is pretty cool

183
00:14:21,980 --> 00:14:24,980
And then fast forward to the 80s something like that

184
00:14:24,980 --> 00:14:30,980
Oh, it'd be sick. It'd be absolutely sick and then in the 80s two other fishermen saw it

185
00:14:30,980 --> 00:14:35,980
Going towards a location in Lake Tahoe called Cave Rock and then they watched it go underwater

186
00:14:35,980 --> 00:14:38,980
I know but but hear me out

187
00:14:38,980 --> 00:14:41,980
Okay, rock cave rock cave

188
00:14:41,980 --> 00:14:49,980
It's not it's Nevada cave rock sounds like a really bad like like sitcom about like cavemen that like learn how to play instruments

189
00:14:50,980 --> 00:14:53,980
Like a Disney Disney Channel show

190
00:14:53,980 --> 00:14:55,980
Tats and it's voice

191
00:14:55,980 --> 00:14:59,980
It's voiced by Nicolas Cage and Brendan Fraser. I was gonna say Jack Black

192
00:15:00,980 --> 00:15:04,980
Look, he's also in it. He's the drummer. It's an all-star. It's like airheads, but with

193
00:15:04,980 --> 00:15:09,980
Adam Sandler Brendan Fraser Jack Black and Nicolas Cage. All right. Yeah, I'd watch that

194
00:15:09,980 --> 00:15:14,980
All right. So they were so these two fishermen they were heading up to Cave Rock great name

195
00:15:14,980 --> 00:15:18,980
No, they see it heading towards Cave Rock and then it went underwater, right?

196
00:15:18,980 --> 00:15:22,980
So it was heading, you know, what East Northwest South? Whatever was just heading towards Cave Rock?

197
00:15:22,980 --> 00:15:25,980
They watch it, you know go back underwater

198
00:15:26,980 --> 00:15:29,980
Never, you know not seen again for the rest of day

199
00:15:29,980 --> 00:15:37,980
Until a couple weeks later two divers were actually, you know, diving around by Cave Rock and they see this creature

200
00:15:37,980 --> 00:15:48,980
fitting the same description of Tahoe Tessie shoot out of the cave and left two very large prints fin prints underneath the water which confirms what the

201
00:15:49,980 --> 00:15:57,980
I'm gonna get a bunch of these tribe names the Wasahoe and Pokhuit tribes claimed in the early 1800s

202
00:15:57,980 --> 00:16:01,980
Did you said you said both those names different times both times?

203
00:16:01,980 --> 00:16:19,980
But yes, the early tribes actually thought this creature lived underwater in a cave system actually kind of fitting where Cave Rock was and the theory behind that is that that specific cave actually goes into a canal system that reaches to other lakes.

204
00:16:19,980 --> 00:16:23,980
Oh, which is pretty cool. Okay, because that's the same

205
00:16:23,980 --> 00:16:34,980
Same theory that the, you know, everything behind Nessie is because right there's a few different reasons that a we haven't found them either a there's canals underwater which makes sense. Who knows.

206
00:16:34,980 --> 00:16:42,980
Yeah, or B, you know, there's parts underwater that are lead to other underwater caves. Well the lock the Loch Ness also that that

207
00:16:43,980 --> 00:16:45,980
Leads to the ocean doesn't it?

208
00:16:45,980 --> 00:16:52,980
Yes, so we can go in and out. But the thing is with Lake Tahoe like even though it might go to other lakes. That's a pretty cool theory.

209
00:16:52,980 --> 00:16:55,980
That's, that's a pretty landlocked fucking.

210
00:16:55,980 --> 00:16:57,980
It's very landlocked.

211
00:16:57,980 --> 00:16:59,980
First year Nevada is landlocked in general.

212
00:16:59,980 --> 00:17:09,980
Yeah, but I guess I mean the blacks. I mean, alright, so we're gonna. I know you're probably not done with your story actually this is probably the perfect time to do this.

213
00:17:09,980 --> 00:17:14,980
We're gonna we're gonna take a little break so we can hear from

214
00:17:14,980 --> 00:17:23,980
Our sponsor but we'll just little little ad thing. Hold on. There we go.

215
00:17:23,980 --> 00:17:40,980
Hey what's up you guys. I'm Catherine and I'm Haley and we are Saturdays for the ghouls a podcast on the pod Moth Network. We cover all things spooky like horror movies, true crime, the supernatural and spooky story in the most chaotic way possible.

216
00:17:40,980 --> 00:17:54,980
So join your favorite ghoul friends every Saturday wherever you listen to podcasts and become a spooky babe. So spooky babes will see you in your nightmares.

217
00:17:54,980 --> 00:18:11,980
I'll be back. So I wanted I was gonna cut you off and I figured it'd be a perfect time to play an ad for one of the other podcasts on our network real quick you know that's what that's what being part of podcast networks all about.

218
00:18:11,980 --> 00:18:16,980
But what I wanted to ask you is that do you so do you think that.

219
00:18:16,980 --> 00:18:18,980
Let me collect my thoughts.

220
00:18:18,980 --> 00:18:21,980
So, as you know, Pangea.

221
00:18:21,980 --> 00:18:26,980
You know the concept of Pangea.

222
00:18:26,980 --> 00:18:32,980
All like all of that you like all the west coast of America at one point was underwater, I'm assuming.

223
00:18:32,980 --> 00:18:57,980
So like do you think like as like the tectonic plate shifted and so this is my own theory like the shifted things you know do you think like as the water receded and like the lake form like do you think it's maybe like a like a dinosaur like that's something that just like got caught in it's basically like when a like when a crab gets caught in a tide pool, but there was never any tide to come back in and wash it back out to see.

224
00:18:57,980 --> 00:19:15,980
It's funny that you say that because I actually had the same thought and apparently a lot of other people have the same thought because that theory is kind of that theory is actually kind of null and void because of the when Lake Tahoe was formed and that was formed after the last ice age and by the time that that ice age occurred.

225
00:19:15,980 --> 00:19:17,980
So it was carved out.

226
00:19:17,980 --> 00:19:18,980
Yeah, exactly.

227
00:19:18,980 --> 00:19:23,980
The plasaurus was actually, you know, long since extinct.

228
00:19:23,980 --> 00:19:36,980
All right, so then how I mean I get evolution, but this I mean, all right, so I get evolution, but I feel like there's not enough time for something to evolve into something like that and if there's only one of them in the lake that we know of.

229
00:19:36,980 --> 00:19:37,980
So that we know of.

230
00:19:37,980 --> 00:19:43,980
My only other thing would be like, it wouldn't be like a Tulpa thing that'd be fucking weird.

231
00:19:43,980 --> 00:19:58,980
Well, I mean, my thing is more along the lines of, you know, especially if there is a canal system right we don't know how old that canal system is obviously like how had to be filled by something so maybe there was a shift in plates, or that canal system was actually

232
00:19:58,980 --> 00:20:13,980
cracked wide open that opened up into Tahoe and these were able to kind of come in and out as they chose, much like the same theory with the Loch Ness Monster and the theories of champ. There's another one called I Lee I believe that's in the Chesapeake Bay or that's Chessy the Chesapeake Bay of Virginia.

233
00:20:13,980 --> 00:20:24,980
All of these are actually you know kind of based off the same theory that at some point another canal system was opened. And these, you know, for lack of a better term dinosaur was able to kind of swim in.

234
00:20:24,980 --> 00:20:29,980
Is this a is this a hollow earth theory, it sounds like a hollow earth theory.

235
00:20:29,980 --> 00:20:37,980
Potentially, it sounds like a hot but is ogle pogo is that a lake monster. Or am I hallucinating that.

236
00:20:37,980 --> 00:20:45,980
I'm pretty sure ogle pogo is like monster as well. I don't know dude there's there's so many lake monsters and they're all basically the exactly the fucking same.

237
00:20:45,980 --> 00:21:09,980
I was like, you know, especially I mean how would it think of it this way. So the I want to say the earliest. If my memory serves the early one of the earlier settings of Nessie was in the late 1800s while the early you know, starting of Tessie was early to late to early 1800s depending on who you ask.

238
00:21:09,980 --> 00:21:14,980
So for that kind of word of mouth to travel, and the same descriptions kind of heaven.

239
00:21:14,980 --> 00:21:17,980
I mean, that's the same thing.

240
00:21:17,980 --> 00:21:32,980
That's the same thing as like with like Bigfoot or Sasquatch like there's settings something that all around the world. There's no way that like, it's also the same thing as like, I have to get like religious because I don't believe in any of that but every culture in the world has a great flood

241
00:21:32,980 --> 00:21:44,980
story all happening around the same time and there's no way they can all have that same thought process I guess for their mythology. So I guess it kind of makes sense. I don't know dude.

242
00:21:44,980 --> 00:21:46,980
The world's fucking weird man.

243
00:21:46,980 --> 00:21:48,980
The world was an empire.

244
00:21:48,980 --> 00:21:50,980
I hate it so much.

245
00:21:50,980 --> 00:21:56,980
But there's also like, all right, sorry, do you have more of your story I keep Ruby went off for a bit.

246
00:21:56,980 --> 00:22:07,980
No, so I mean there's been a few sightings up until actually the last major sighting was in about 2004 to 2000. The original article that sighting was came out in 2004.

247
00:22:07,980 --> 00:22:14,980
The woman interviewed about it in 2005, I kind of discredit it this a little bit just because it doesn't really match everything else in the way that it moves.

248
00:22:14,980 --> 00:22:21,980
This is kind of like the 2014 Lone Frog Man sighting was clearly just a dude holding two flashlights over his eyes.

249
00:22:21,980 --> 00:22:23,980
Yeah, exactly.

250
00:22:23,980 --> 00:22:30,980
No, so I mean that the last reported sighting was in about was talked about in 2005.

251
00:22:30,980 --> 00:22:33,980
There's a few news articles over in 2005.

252
00:22:33,980 --> 00:22:36,980
But it's from an off duty.

253
00:22:36,980 --> 00:22:40,980
Barton. Oh, so she's just getting off shift.

254
00:22:40,980 --> 00:22:43,980
Yeah, she's just getting off shift she's driving around the.

255
00:22:43,980 --> 00:23:01,980
Don't click that link just yet. She's driving around the shorelines trying to get home, and she apparently saw what she describes a very large animals swimming within the water, however, she said that it reminded her of how she saw a, you know, her dog swim and how she saw local bears swim you know rivers near her.

256
00:23:01,980 --> 00:23:18,980
So it doesn't quite fit that description of being a serpent or a reptile and how the reptiles swim. It also doesn't really fit the bill of the description because the way that she described it as a large mass and it didn't really have a longer head or longer reptile, you know, look to it, but there have been, you know, people.

257
00:23:18,980 --> 00:23:21,980
Exactly. It could also just be a bear.

258
00:23:21,980 --> 00:23:37,980
Okay, could just be a bear. I don't know anything about the the the the wildlife in this area. So who the fuck knows. Am I exactly is this a picture of that you're sending me the picture. Yeah. So if you want to click a picture that I sent you in the chat, that's actually what Tahoe Tessie looks like.

259
00:23:37,980 --> 00:23:44,980
All right. I'm worried that this might open up in the same tab. I don't think it will. But if it does, I'm sorry if this cuts off real quick.

260
00:23:44,980 --> 00:23:57,980
Okay, it didn't. Thank Christ. All right, here we go. There's something out there. The enduring legend of Tahoe Tessie. Wait, is this? Hold on.

261
00:23:57,980 --> 00:24:00,980
You sent me. So I'm assuming the first picture.

262
00:24:00,980 --> 00:24:08,980
Can you describe. Hold on. Is this the first picture you tell me to describe the first picture underneath the headline that you sent me, because this is a dude on a way.

263
00:24:08,980 --> 00:24:28,980
I'm going to take a look at the. This is a dude in a dinosaur onesie like for children standing on a paddleboard kneeling on a paddleboard holding it to fuck you.

264
00:24:28,980 --> 00:24:42,980
Actually, this is kind of what both Mickey Daniels have said that this is kind of, you know, mostly pretty much what he saw and a few other viewers saw it. So it does look a little bit more menacing than the Loch Ness monster doesn't kind of have that.

265
00:24:42,980 --> 00:24:52,980
I do. I'm just has more of a raptor look to it. Hold on. I'm just vibing with this dude in the fucking Tessie costume because I love this so much.

266
00:24:52,980 --> 00:25:03,980
Oh, my God, it's adorable. Fuck out of here, man. All right. So what's so sad? Send me. Send me a real thing. You send it.

267
00:25:03,980 --> 00:25:08,980
So the second one is mostly what people have seen.

268
00:25:08,980 --> 00:25:24,980
I just sent you the link. Yeah, that's see, that's what I assumed it would be. Only this one looks like it only has two front fins and not four because I'm so it does have the foot. So obviously this is this renditioning does have the two fins.

269
00:25:24,980 --> 00:25:27,980
But people have said that it does kind of have more of that raptor head.

270
00:25:27,980 --> 00:25:43,980
Yo, this I was just going to say this fucking fuck this man. It's very clever girl. Tessie is a nightmare. All right. So hold on, dude. This is I hate this.

271
00:25:43,980 --> 00:25:48,980
Yeah, it's like kind of terrifying. Yeah. See, this is not like see, this is why.

272
00:25:48,980 --> 00:25:59,980
All right. So here's the here's what I found out about different cultures like like in Japan, they like the yokai, like the Kappa and all that stuff. But they always make them so fucking cute.

273
00:25:59,980 --> 00:26:07,980
You know what I mean? Like in America is like, no, we're going to make this shit fucking scary. Yeah, like, dude, like, can we just like, come on, just make it wholesome for the family.

274
00:26:07,980 --> 00:26:27,980
Well, I mean, even look at like the descriptions of Loch Ness or Nessie, you know, most of them, you know, for the most part, really don't look that aggressive. But at the same time, there's really been no reported instance of Nessie nudging into boats or even pick videos or accounts of Nessie hunting anything. Right. But there's quite a few accounts.

275
00:26:27,980 --> 00:26:32,980
That's because Nessie came from the Black Lodge when after Alistair Crowley moved there.

276
00:26:32,980 --> 00:26:47,980
Yeah. And it opened up the gate with the Star Child ritual. Exactly. Or moon child, whatever ritual he was doing. It was moon child ritual. It was moon child. OK. I don't think I don't even think he was doing that. I think just his presence brought like opened a veil and all these fucking cryptids started popping out.

277
00:26:47,980 --> 00:27:02,980
Yeah. Valen. But yeah, that's Tahoe Tessie. I mean, sorry. That's Tahoe Tessie. I think it's really cool. I'm a big fan of Lake Monster, so I figured this would be a good a good little hop into it. No, I fucking that was good. I like that.

278
00:27:02,980 --> 00:27:29,980
Dude, I see. So there's like a few cryptids that I don't fuck with just because like they're all like every sighting is the same. It's like like Bigfoot. Like I there's I mean, to say that there isn't some sort of like giant monster, not monster, but like the state is not like a primate living in the American frontier or wilderness that we don't know about is would be like saying there's no aliens.

279
00:27:29,980 --> 00:27:59,980
We don't know. There's a lot of that shit's unexplored. But I just don't I don't buy into it. Lake Monsters and the same way. But this was a really good story. It's cool. My thing is I just don't fuck with Lake Monster because I because they're it's easy to say you saw something in a lake with no proof. You know what I mean? I could say I could say I went to Lake Winnipesaukee and saw a fucking monster. Right. I mean, I think that's isn't there something in Winnipesaukee like to begin with. Oh, I have no idea. Is there something for another time for another time? It probably is. It's probably called. And it's probably

280
00:27:59,980 --> 00:28:29,980
called Winnie because it's awful. But now I mean, my thing is this. I mean, there is still so much that we don't know about, obviously, cryptozoology, because it is the research of unknown animals and all that fun stuff. But I think that there's something to be said about the fact that these things have been going on for at this point. Two hundred plus years. You know, it's definitely a and for all we know, it could have been a very large sturgeon. Right. There could have been very large fish in that lake. That's also a theory.

281
00:28:29,980 --> 00:28:34,940
The thing is, it's always a large sturgeon. And you're telling me there's sturgeon in every fucking lake across the world.

282
00:28:34,940 --> 00:28:39,480
See, that's why I'm conflicted, because I don't buy into lake monsters. I don't buy into Bigfoot.

283
00:28:40,780 --> 00:28:44,380
But also the same time, like you can tell me that's a fucking bear. You can tell me that's a sturgeon.

284
00:28:45,420 --> 00:28:55,580
I mean, I have this weird like I have this weird skeptic, but also believing brain where like both of my thoughts conflict one another and I can't get over it.

285
00:28:55,580 --> 00:29:00,540
Oh, yeah. My thing is like. I like I don't know. I like being outdoors.

286
00:29:00,540 --> 00:29:09,300
I like like like fishing. And I've seen like I've seen videos of dudes pulling out like monster surgeons, like 15 feet long, like 20 feet long.

287
00:29:09,540 --> 00:29:15,240
And like I can you know, I could see that being perceived as a cryptid or things of that nature.

288
00:29:15,580 --> 00:29:24,660
But, you know, that takes away the fun of like all the folklore that goes along with, you know, Nessie, with Tessie, with Winnie, with Chessie, you know, like all the ease.

289
00:29:24,660 --> 00:29:27,460
Just to be clear, I'm pretty sure we made up Winnie. I don't think that's real.

290
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:29,180
Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.

291
00:29:29,860 --> 00:29:34,940
You know, you know, I'm going to I'm going to write a whole episode on Winnie just to see if I can get that to be a real thing.

292
00:29:35,980 --> 00:29:38,140
Oh, I'm sure we can talk to some drunk people in Lakota.

293
00:29:38,140 --> 00:29:39,820
I saw something in the water.

294
00:29:39,900 --> 00:29:46,500
I'm going to fabricate the whole thing and I'm going to and I'm going to I'm probably going to work on that right now just to pass it off as a real episode.

295
00:29:46,500 --> 00:29:49,460
But the thing is, we won't release it for like another year just to see if like.

296
00:29:49,460 --> 00:29:51,780
Oh, and that's the April Fool's of 2024.

297
00:29:51,780 --> 00:29:57,020
Oh, yeah, that wraps up Tahoe Tessie.

298
00:29:57,060 --> 00:29:58,860
Dave, thanks for having me on the show.

299
00:29:59,860 --> 00:30:02,500
It was a good time. Yeah, thank you for again.

300
00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:04,900
I'm a terrible guest.

301
00:30:04,900 --> 00:30:08,740
I this this episode went off the rails a billion times, but I had a lot of fun.

302
00:30:08,780 --> 00:30:11,100
It was really fun to not have to like do any of the work.

303
00:30:11,620 --> 00:30:13,740
But no, that was a blast, man. Thank you so much for coming on.

304
00:30:14,860 --> 00:30:16,980
Dave, thanks for thanks for having me.

305
00:30:16,980 --> 00:30:18,460
It's a pleasure, as always.

306
00:30:18,460 --> 00:30:21,540
Thanks for taking time out of your bachelor party.

307
00:30:22,020 --> 00:30:28,540
I'm going to go crack another one of these and I've had I've had four since we started recording.

308
00:30:29,380 --> 00:30:31,500
Oh, I love that for you. Yeah, it's Saturday.

309
00:30:31,500 --> 00:30:33,820
It's hot as fuck in here. I'm dying.

310
00:30:33,820 --> 00:30:36,100
Yeah, what's the temperature up in old Philly right now?

311
00:30:36,420 --> 00:30:38,220
Oh, I don't know about the temperature outside.

312
00:30:38,220 --> 00:30:41,580
I just know that I had to close all my windows just now.

313
00:30:41,900 --> 00:30:43,220
So there's no outside noise.

314
00:30:43,220 --> 00:30:48,620
And now I'm in a like 10 by 10 room and I'm fucking sweating balls.

315
00:30:48,900 --> 00:30:50,980
Popped a PBR. He's sweating. Hey.

316
00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:56,860
So Nicholas, before we say goodbye, is there anything you want to plug?

317
00:30:56,860 --> 00:30:58,820
Is there anything you want to say? Anything you want to do?

318
00:31:00,460 --> 00:31:02,460
Well, I'd like to rule the world.

319
00:31:02,460 --> 00:31:04,180
That'd be fun. OK, I meant like.

320
00:31:06,660 --> 00:31:09,780
No, so I just started a sweet little watch business.

321
00:31:09,780 --> 00:31:13,260
I'm going to be selling some some cooler nostalgic watches.

322
00:31:13,260 --> 00:31:17,100
A couple have a bunch of Jurassic Park watches that I'm going to be throwing up there soon,

323
00:31:17,100 --> 00:31:19,260
which is very cool. Very excited about that.

324
00:31:19,260 --> 00:31:21,020
They plastic from the Burger King days.

325
00:31:21,020 --> 00:31:22,700
Yeah, they're the Burger King days.

326
00:31:22,700 --> 00:31:24,100
Oh, shit. Hold up. Oh, no.

327
00:31:24,100 --> 00:31:25,540
I fuck. I don't know what I do with it.

328
00:31:25,540 --> 00:31:29,660
Oh, I gave it away. I had the Burger King Boba Fett and Jenga.

329
00:31:29,660 --> 00:31:30,900
Oh, nice. Yeah.

330
00:31:30,900 --> 00:31:33,740
But I put it in someone's stocking for Christmas.

331
00:31:33,740 --> 00:31:35,300
Love that for you.

332
00:31:35,300 --> 00:31:38,580
See, if you want to give me a phone Instagram, it's Neo Vintage Nick.

333
00:31:38,580 --> 00:31:40,500
Just just give me a follow.

334
00:31:40,500 --> 00:31:45,340
I crack jokes and post memes if you're in the watches or in the, you know, nostalgia.

335
00:31:45,340 --> 00:31:47,580
And yeah, give me give me a whirl.

336
00:31:47,580 --> 00:31:51,620
Also, Nick's really good at marketing and like stuff like that.

337
00:31:51,620 --> 00:31:53,620
You should just do that.

338
00:31:53,620 --> 00:31:57,700
And by that, I mean, why don't I just make you in charge of the Cryptic

339
00:31:57,700 --> 00:31:59,060
Cocktail Party Instagram?

340
00:31:59,060 --> 00:32:01,540
Because I do not post as regularly as I should.

341
00:32:01,540 --> 00:32:03,540
I would love that.

342
00:32:03,540 --> 00:32:06,580
Send me the Instagram passwords and I will have a field day.

343
00:32:06,580 --> 00:32:10,220
You heard that inundate Nick with all your Instagram passwords.

344
00:32:11,580 --> 00:32:13,900
He definitely will take care of all your social media marketing.

345
00:32:14,340 --> 00:32:15,740
No, absolutely not.

346
00:32:17,220 --> 00:32:21,340
All right. Also, why don't we plug your your other podcast you got going on?

347
00:32:21,780 --> 00:32:24,500
The The Two Dads One Cup podcast.

348
00:32:25,100 --> 00:32:30,580
Oh, yeah. So my two dads, one cup, one of my very good friends, Mike Caruso,

349
00:32:30,580 --> 00:32:32,260
and I have a show called The Dadcast.

350
00:32:32,260 --> 00:32:36,420
We are currently on a on a little bit of a break before we do season two.

351
00:32:37,220 --> 00:32:39,340
So we're working on some podcasts and getting things

352
00:32:39,340 --> 00:32:42,260
like or working on some new episodes, getting some more content ready for you.

353
00:32:42,580 --> 00:32:45,780
But we hope to be back up by May 15th.

354
00:32:45,780 --> 00:32:48,740
So give us a follow at the Dadcast and find us on Spotify.

355
00:32:49,220 --> 00:32:51,500
Yeah. Do all of that, please.

356
00:32:51,500 --> 00:32:54,020
I was not paying attention.

357
00:32:56,820 --> 00:32:58,660
But yeah. So thank you, Nick.

358
00:32:58,660 --> 00:33:00,260
What do we got to follow us on Instagram?

359
00:33:00,260 --> 00:33:01,620
It is at Cryptic Cocktail.

360
00:33:01,620 --> 00:33:03,420
Follow us on Twitter.

361
00:33:03,420 --> 00:33:04,740
It is also at Cryptic Cocktail.

362
00:33:04,740 --> 00:33:09,500
I have posted three times on Twitter and I've had to put those numbers up

363
00:33:09,780 --> 00:33:11,380
and ever like six months.

364
00:33:11,380 --> 00:33:13,380
Those are rookie numbers. Yeah, I don't.

365
00:33:13,380 --> 00:33:15,140
Twitter's a nightmare now, though.

366
00:33:15,140 --> 00:33:18,620
I keep getting a bunch of fucking weird right wing bullshit and I can't handle it.

367
00:33:20,020 --> 00:33:21,820
Let's see. We also have a co-fi.

368
00:33:21,820 --> 00:33:25,620
If you want to help support the show, you can either do just a one time donation

369
00:33:25,940 --> 00:33:29,060
or if you want a recurring donation, that's fine, too.

370
00:33:29,660 --> 00:33:30,980
There's no perks or anything like that.

371
00:33:30,980 --> 00:33:33,500
You don't get like cool stuff.

372
00:33:33,500 --> 00:33:35,580
But I mean, whatever, if you want to help support the show,

373
00:33:36,300 --> 00:33:39,100
that is Kodash five slash Cryptic Cocktail Party.

374
00:33:40,260 --> 00:33:43,540
Well, I think that's it.

375
00:33:43,580 --> 00:33:45,660
I don't think I have anything else.

376
00:33:45,660 --> 00:34:02,940
OK, God save the Queen.
