00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:28,820
Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Cryptid Cocktail Party, a show

2
00:00:28,820 --> 00:00:33,640
where we have a few drinks, share a few laughs, and take a dive into the unknown. I'm your

3
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:39,680
host Dave and today joining me is my good friend John Bunting. How are you doing, bud?

4
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:46,040
Oh, I am doing terrific, Dave. How are you? This is the third time we've done this because

5
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:52,040
our fucking audio. I'm kind of glad that I don't have a camera because I don't think

6
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,040
you'd even be able to make it through the intro at this point. I'm just laughing too

7
00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:00,880
much. Dude, I couldn't even get through that one time because, god damn it. Anyways, how

8
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:07,800
you doing, bud? What's going on? I'm doing better every time we do this. It gets funnier

9
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,240
and funnier. It kind of eases the intro though. You kind of relax. Some people when they first

10
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,840
go onto a podcast, if they've never been on one, they're kind of in their own head about

11
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,080
being recorded, but I feel like this kind of loosened us up. Oh, I'm terrified, but

12
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:28,320
yes. I would say this loosened me up a little bit. Why? Because I think this is the first

13
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:33,400
time, I'm not kidding you, in the 37 years of my existence that I'm going to have my

14
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:39,360
voice recorded on something that I could listen back. Oh yeah, that is a spooky thought. Well,

15
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:48,720
I mean, when I was a kid, I had that fucking, that thing from Home Alone 2, the Talk Boy.

16
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,720
That's what it was. Yeah, I had one of those. I would use that shit all the time. I had

17
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:58,880
one of those. Yeah, I think I used it for about 10 minutes and the sound sounded terrible

18
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:06,440
and then I never saw it again. I put it down somewhere and we had a room when I was younger

19
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:11,040
in our house, which we called the toy room. Oh dude, everyone had a toy room. Yeah, and

20
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,000
that's just where toys that you played for 15 minutes went to die. It's just like the

21
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,120
Island of Misfit toys. Yep, here it goes. Never see that again. No dude, I fucking love

22
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:27,960
my Talk Boy. I used to have, when I was a kid, I had a green jelly tape and I would

23
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,760
play it through that. That went through my Teddy Ruxpin. I would put music tapes in Teddy

24
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:39,200
Ruxpin. I never had a Teddy Ruxpin. For anyone listening under the age of fucking 30, Teddy

25
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:44,280
Ruxpin was this toy that had in its stomach had a cassette deck and you were supposed

26
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,880
to put the Teddy Ruxpin tapes in it and it would mouth the words and talk to you. But

27
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,520
if you put music tapes in, it would just fucking sing along to the most brutal death metal

28
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:58,120
and it was amazing. Yes, it was terrifying at the same time. Oh yeah, that was like our

29
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:03,560
generation, well I guess my generation also was Furbies, but it was like the early part

30
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,900
of our generation's Furbies. It was just a nightmare toy all around. Yeah, you're walking

31
00:03:07,900 --> 00:03:15,280
out to your parents and it's the Teddy Bear spewing random blood. Is it supposed to do

32
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:20,680
this? Yeah, no, it was all just a nightmare. But anyways, John, today I have an episode

33
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,720
for you. Are you ready for this episode? I am ready for this episode, Dave. I don't know

34
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,920
much about cryptids, but I like creepy shit, so I'm ready. You did try to coax out of me

35
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:35,760
what the episode was going to be about, but I feel like that was fun. But even like I

36
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:41,240
told you, I don't think that you would even know what it is, because you're not a cryptids

37
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:48,040
guy. You're just a spooky boy. Yeah, yeah. I guess that's the most spooky boy. Orbit

38
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:55,120
stuff. Yeah, just a spooky boy. Well, today we're going to be talking about a cryptid

39
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,400
that hails from just one state over in Ohio. And the reason why I wanted to do this cryptid

40
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:06,040
is because this weekend is the inaugural festival that the state is putting on in honor of this

41
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:12,240
cryptid, which is the Loveland Frogman. Are you familiar with the Loveland Frogman? No,

42
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,760
I am not familiar with the Loveland Frogman. I was hoping that you would say something

43
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,080
off the wall and I'd be like, oh, yeah, I've heard of that. But no, no, that's not how

44
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:26,000
we do it on this show. We do the fucking lesser knowns. But yeah, so this story is weird.

45
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:33,520
And this cryptid is frau- I don't even know how to describe it. He's a half frog, half

46
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,400
man. Dude, there's twists and turns in here that you don't even know about, man. Is Algor

47
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:46,360
part of it? Dude, it's part frog, part man, part magic. Oh, man, magic frog. Yeah. It's

48
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,920
a- all right. So you want to just dive right in? I'll tell you the story of this fucking

49
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,960
nightmare. Yes, you've already hooked me. The promo has been given. All right. So the

50
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,280
Loveland Frogman is an amphibious humanoid cryptid that has been spotted just outside

51
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:05,000
the small town of Loveland, Ohio, near the Little Miami River, which is a bold name for-

52
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:11,920
Yeah, like, well, I mean, you know, it's Ohio, so they have to try to catch you somehow.

53
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:17,960
Got to really spice it up. Like Hollywood, Florida. It's just like Hollywood, Florida.

54
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:24,560
That's where dreams really do go to die. Yeah. But sightings of the mysterious frog men,

55
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:34,160
because it's not just one, as far as I know. Why would there only be one? Right? But sightings

56
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:40,480
of the frog men have been reported as far back as 1955 and as recently as 2016, and

57
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,200
is probably one of my favorite cryptids I've ever had the pleasure of researching because,

58
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:49,600
like I said, it gets fucking weird. Do they have pictures of it? And are the pictures

59
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:57,440
the same quality from 1955 to 2016? So, all right. We'll get into that. Normally

60
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,720
on the show I do send the listeners or the guests the pictures of the frog man, but I'm

61
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,800
not going to do that because they're all weird artist renderings that I don't even think

62
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:13,520
are from the 50s or the other sightings. The 2016 sighting is a little sketch, so we'll

63
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,760
cross that bridge when we get there. You'll describe it better than I could see it anyway.

64
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:23,760
I don't know. I mean, probably. But before we get into the sightings and the descriptions

65
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,120
of the creature, it's customary on the show to give our listeners some fun facts about

66
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:34,940
the area that we're discussing. So, nestled along the Little Miami River and located inside

67
00:06:34,940 --> 00:06:40,260
the counties of Hamilton, Claremont, and Warren County, and it's only about 15 miles away

68
00:06:40,260 --> 00:06:45,320
from Cincinnati, just to give you an idea of where the story is taking place, Loveland

69
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:51,360
isn't what I would call a small town. It has a population of about 13,000 with some pretty

70
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,520
notable people hailing from Loveland. Do you want to know who some of these people are?

71
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,600
I would want to know who all these people are.

72
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,960
Okay. So, we got professional linebacker Joe Kelly, who you might know because he did a

73
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,280
season with the Eagles, I believe.

74
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:07,640
I'm not an Eagles fan, so I don't know.

75
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,280
Whatever. All right.

76
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:14,160
Cowboys fan living in Philly.

77
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:19,880
But we also got a Survivor, Pearl Islands contestant, Lillian Morris.

78
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:26,680
I, nope. I watched season one of Survivor and that was about it.

79
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:32,840
And then we got former mayor of Cincinnati, television host and fake judge Jerry Springer.

80
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,600
Oh, look at that. She's still alive?

81
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,640
Yeah, he has a fake judge show.

82
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:39,640
Oh, really?

83
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:40,640
Yeah.

84
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,080
I'm not sure how much, because show so much I know. I'm not up with this anymore.

85
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,240
I only know this because Sam from work.

86
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,080
Oh, of course.

87
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,160
When I go into the office after 5 PM, he's watching judge shows and I'm pretty sure I

88
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:58,560
watched him. I saw him watching a Jerry Springer. So, if Sam's listening, sorry, Sam.

89
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,240
No, he'll love it.

90
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:07,280
But then finally, we have Madison Young, winner of the 2009 and 2013 hottest kink film award

91
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:12,640
at the FPAs for her work in Perversions of Lesbian Lust Volume 1 and 50 Shades of Dylan

92
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,640
Ryan respectively.

93
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,960
First of all, what are the FPAs? Because I only know of the ABNs.

94
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,280
The FPAs is the Feminist Porn Awards.

95
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,280
Oh, Feminist Porn Awards.

96
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,280
Yeah, I don't know. But hey, good for her, man.

97
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,560
Hey, yeah.

98
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,960
She took it home twice, son.

99
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,960
Yeah, she did.

100
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,480
She took it home more than twice.

101
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:46,240
All right. So, yeah. So, that's a little backstory of the area that we're going to be covering

102
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,240
today.

103
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:54,360
This is a variety of people. I can't think of the right word right now.

104
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,400
A motley crew of fucking...

105
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:57,400
Yeah.

106
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:02,920
All right. So, let's get into the story of the frog, man. Again, this week, we're going

107
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,480
to be talking about the weekend is Frog Man Fest. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it because

108
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:13,760
it's nine hours away from me. But yeah, I figured we would do this. So, let's get in.

109
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:19,000
So, the first sighting of the Loveland Frog Man was in the spring of 1955 on a stretch

110
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,300
of road known as the Madeira Loveland Pike that runs along the Little Miami River just

111
00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:29,680
outside of Loveland and Claremont County. Robert Honeycutt, I think that's how you pronounce

112
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:32,840
his name, not 100% sure, who was either...

113
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:33,840
Honeycutt?

114
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:34,840
Honeycutt.

115
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:41,600
It's Honeycutt, I think. But he was either a businessman, a traveling salesman, or a

116
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,400
shorter cook depending on where you're hearing the story.

117
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,480
I am already skeptical.

118
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,840
All right. But even though his backstory is kind of all over the place...

119
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,640
We can't even get the guy's frigging job right.

120
00:09:55,640 --> 00:10:02,080
Yeah, it's true. But the one thing that does remain consistent is the story of his sighting.

121
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:07,000
So, at roughly 3.30 a.m., Robert was driving home when he noticed three figures off to

122
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:12,120
the side of the road in the bushes with their backs turned towards him. At first glance,

123
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,420
due to their short stature, Honeycutt assumed that they were just three dudes on their knees

124
00:10:16,420 --> 00:10:18,080
like praying, which...

125
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,360
Three dudes on their knees.

126
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:26,400
Yeah, they're just praying, you know? You never come across just like three dudes praying

127
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:27,400
on the side of the highway.

128
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:28,400
No.

129
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:34,160
So, you know what? Around here, yeah. Yeah, you'd see that. Now you would.

130
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,160
But...

131
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,160
Anyway.

132
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:41,440
Obviously, that's weird. But thinking that this was super weird, he decides to slow down

133
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,960
to get a better look at these nocturnal monks. And that's when he realized that it wasn't

134
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:51,020
just like a coven of weirdos holding a midnight mass off the side of the highway, but actually

135
00:10:51,020 --> 00:10:56,160
it was three amphibious looking creatures that stood about three to four feet tall,

136
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:01,640
webbed hands and feet, teenage mutinous turtles. We found them.

137
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:06,480
Leathery gray skin and wearing loose fitting pants. It is unclear if they were wearing

138
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:07,540
shirts.

139
00:11:07,540 --> 00:11:12,160
I'm glad that we could be specific about the loose fitting pants.

140
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,160
Yeah.

141
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,160
Or they...

142
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,240
Kind of comes into play later. Not really, but kind of.

143
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,240
Okay.

144
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:23,400
So, he went on to describe the creatures as having long lipless mouths, no nose, a ring

145
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:29,360
of fat around their necks and forward facing human eyes, which can only mean one thing,

146
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:30,360
John.

147
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,000
Yeah, I mean, that's frog if I've ever heard one.

148
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,000
But...

149
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,980
That is frog, half frog, half man.

150
00:11:35,980 --> 00:11:42,120
The forward facing human eyes could only mean that the frog men are apex predators and should

151
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,520
be feared by all.

152
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,280
That's new. I've never heard of that before.

153
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,920
What?

154
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,720
Forward facing eyes, big apex predators.

155
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:57,000
Forward facing eyes are what all apex predators have.

156
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,680
Man, I am very uneducated anyway.

157
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:06,880
Prey animals have eyes on the side of their heads. Predators have them in the front of

158
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:07,880
their heads.

159
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:12,520
I can't believe that I didn't put that together until now.

160
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,880
You really didn't know that?

161
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:20,720
No, I'm serious. I consider myself an intelligent dude, but thank you for making me look stupid

162
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:21,720
on your show.

163
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,360
I'm glad that I came along.

164
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:30,200
I'm glad I could be of assistance.

165
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:35,200
He also described them as having lopsided bodies with uneven arms and bulges on one

166
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,960
side of their bodies.

167
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:42,520
Now, upon seeing this, he must have thought to himself, hey, why don't I just hop out

168
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,640
of my car real quick and try and join in on this extraterrestrial prayer circle?

169
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,560
Yeah, I mean, that's only logical.

170
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:50,480
Yeah, because that's exactly what he did.

171
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,120
I mean, I probably would say.

172
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:59,240
But once he started approaching the creatures, one of them, he claimed, pulled out what could

173
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:04,120
only be described as a magic wand and lifted it above his head.

174
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,120
And then the wand started shooting out bluish white sparks from the tips and-

175
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,560
The frocks summoning his protrus.

176
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:14,280
Yeah. See, in my head, it kind of played out like a-

177
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:21,040
I'm glad you had that cue.

178
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,920
We're all on the same page, Dick.

179
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:30,520
But yeah, but once it started shooting out sparks from both ends, and then once it was

180
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:36,360
done, he just put it away, put it away in his wand holster, I guess.

181
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,760
In his pocket, I mean.

182
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,560
But nothing crazy happened.

183
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:45,440
No curse or spell was placed upon Rob, so there was no damage done.

184
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,640
The frog men just gave him a cryptid sparkler show and then just put it back in his wand

185
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:51,640
holster.

186
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,440
And gave him a big thumbs up.

187
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,440
Yeah.

188
00:13:54,440 --> 00:14:00,000
So after securing its sidearm, the three frog men all turned and faced Robbie and started

189
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,560
walking towards him.

190
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:06,520
Now at this point is when Bobby decided it's probably time to go and gets in his car and

191
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:07,520
takes off.

192
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:13,760
But as he does, he notices that the air has a distinct smell of fresh cut alfalfa and

193
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,120
almonds.

194
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,760
I don't know what any of that smells like.

195
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:18,760
Almonds?

196
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:19,760
I mean-

197
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:20,760
I know almonds.

198
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:21,760
All right.

199
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:22,760
I meant the alfalfa part.

200
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:23,760
Yeah.

201
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:24,760
Alfalfa.

202
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,720
I mean, what is this?

203
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,400
I always think when I think alfalfa is that kid from-

204
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:30,400
Little Rascals?

205
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,520
Yeah, Little Rascals.

206
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:33,800
I think it's grass.

207
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:34,800
I don't really know.

208
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,040
The only reason why I know what almonds smell like besides eating them is because I used

209
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,000
to drink a lot of De Cirono if you know-

210
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Really?

211
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Yeah, dude.

212
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Yeah, I know De Cirono.

213
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,000
I never drank it.

214
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Oh, dude.

215
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,160
De Cirono on the rocks, dude, fucking ruins your night, but you'd look so classy fucking

216
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,320
drinking it.

217
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,240
It turns you into a problem after about four of them, but-

218
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:59,240
I think if we're going to talk classiness, the classiest thing I ever got was, I was

219
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,640
like, hey, can I get a beefier on the rocks?

220
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,920
That guy looks like a little soldier on the front.

221
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:07,920
He looks classy.

222
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:08,920
John, what?

223
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:14,880
And I got that, and then I took one sip and regretted the $13 I spent.

224
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,280
Yeah, dude, beef eaters fucking gross, dude.

225
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,280
Is it vodka or gin?

226
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,280
It's gin, right?

227
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,280
It's gin.

228
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:22,280
It's gin.

229
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:23,280
Yeah.

230
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,280
Don't get me wrong.

231
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,280
I love a good gin.

232
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:26,280
Gin and Sprite-

233
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:27,280
I didn't have any juice.

234
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,280
No, I do.

235
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:34,280
Because gin and soda usually add a lime or a lemon to it.

236
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,960
Gin and Sprite already has that in there, plus it has that little extra sweetness, so

237
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,960
it doesn't taste like you're just drinking straight up pine needles.

238
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,560
It's actually somewhat good.

239
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:42,560
Genius.

240
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:43,560
Right, dude?

241
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,880
I found a workaround back in my more desperate days.

242
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:54,840
You know when you were a kid, you know when you're a kid and you're drinking liquor?

243
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,200
You steal a bottle from your parents or something like that, and you don't have any mixers?

244
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,240
Gin and Mountain Dew, surprisingly, is really fucking delicious.

245
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,200
We called it the Green Monster because obviously-

246
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,200
Gin and Mountain Dew.

247
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,200
Yeah, dude.

248
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,200
It's not bad.

249
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,120
All right, so back to the story.

250
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:15,200
Upon fleeing the scene, he heads to the local police chief's house, who later stated that

251
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,400
Honeycutt was sober and sincere in his telling of the story.

252
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:23,960
And I don't know if this is true, but according to the Kryptonaut podcast, the locals claim

253
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:31,440
that this report sparked an FBI investigation into the matter, but no idea what or if anything

254
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:32,560
came from it.

255
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:38,000
So I don't know if maybe... I know you're not a weird Kryptids, aliens guy, but I don't

256
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,680
know if this could be a men in black situation, if you believe the men in black are real.

257
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:48,320
I want to believe the men in black are real, so yes, that sounds like it.

258
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,320
It does, right?

259
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,440
It kind of sounds like people came and were like, oh, we're from the FBI.

260
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,800
We heard about this fucking weird frog man.

261
00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:00,600
If it was something like that, I would be excited.

262
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,080
Like if there was some sort of mind eraser tool.

263
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:09,240
See, the men in black, I feel like aren't... So the movie portrays them as fun heroes

264
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,640
of the universe, but in reality-

265
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,080
No, they're horrible people.

266
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,160
Yeah, if you do any sort of digging into the men in black, they're a fucking nightmare,

267
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,040
dude, and I would want any part of it.

268
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,040
Anyways.

269
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,880
All right, so we found the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

270
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,640
They can summon patronuses, and now we are at this sheriff's station.

271
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,600
So he claims that... The locals claim that the FBI came and investigated.

272
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:37,320
No idea if anything actually came from it, but that's not where the story ends.

273
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:38,320
Better not.

274
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,320
For him, it does.

275
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,320
That's where his story ends.

276
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:41,560
Nothing ever comes from his story.

277
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:42,560
Oh, come on.

278
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,040
This guy didn't even dig deeper.

279
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,040
I would.

280
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:50,720
You would think, but anyways, so the next two sightings of the creature happened within

281
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:57,360
a two-week span in March of 1972, almost 17 years after Robert's first encounter with

282
00:17:57,360 --> 00:17:58,360
the creature.

283
00:17:58,360 --> 00:17:59,360
Okay.

284
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:01,960
So at approximately... Oh my God.

285
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:09,320
At approximately 1 a.m. on March 3rd, 1972, Loveland police officer Ray Schocke, fucking

286
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:10,320
love these names.

287
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,320
That's a great name.

288
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:16,440
He was heading towards Loveland on Riverside Road near the Totes Boots Factory.

289
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,040
That's just fun to say.

290
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,520
And of course, that's along the little Miami River.

291
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,800
He's driving slowly due to the icy conditions on the road when he notices that what he thought

292
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,840
was a dog on the side of the road.

293
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,820
The animal darted in front of the officer's vehicle, forcing him to slam on his brakes

294
00:18:32,820 --> 00:18:35,040
and come to a stop in the middle of the road.

295
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,680
Now there, illuminated in his headlights, he saw what he described as a small creature,

296
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:45,760
about three to four feet long, weighing roughly 50 to 75 pounds with leathery gray skin and

297
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,400
crashed down like a frog.

298
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,200
Suddenly the creature stands up on his hind legs, just stares at the officer straight in

299
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:57,600
the eyes, and then just darts across the road, up on over a guardrail, waddles down the embankment,

300
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,160
and then fucking off into the Ohio River.

301
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,440
Yeah, okay.

302
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,600
And we immediately went after this.

303
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:07,600
You know what?

304
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,520
There was a post that I saw on Reddit the other day, did you see that sexy looking lizard?

305
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:12,520
Negative.

306
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,000
We can't do it on podcast, so I have to send it to you.

307
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,280
That's exactly what it reminds me of.

308
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,720
It's this lizard and it's got like its legs spread and it's kind of looking back at you,

309
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,480
kind of like it's posing.

310
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,000
That's immediately what it reminds you of, just staring at you like, yep.

311
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,000
It's kind of, yeah, but he didn't go after it.

312
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,280
Actually, later that night, another officer investigated the scene but found no sign of

313
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:41,480
the creature, but did report distinct scratch marks on the railing where the frogman climbed

314
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,520
over the guardrail, which is weird because I don't think anyone ever described it as

315
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:46,520
having claws.

316
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:47,520
Yeah.

317
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:53,600
So I don't know how it would have just left a fucking gouge on the side of the thing.

318
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:54,600
I don't know.

319
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:55,600
Now I'm more confused.

320
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,360
Do frogs even have nails?

321
00:19:57,360 --> 00:19:59,560
Frogs don't have claws.

322
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:00,560
They have like...

323
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:05,360
It is humanoid, maybe it has like human claws.

324
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:12,680
I always thought that frogs had like shit cups kind of things.

325
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:13,680
That's true frogs.

326
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,400
I don't think that's like all frogs.

327
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,240
I never thought that they had like any claws.

328
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,600
I thought they were just kind of like flat feet and hands.

329
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,760
Yeah, they're just all around awful.

330
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:24,760
That's not true.

331
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,080
I mean, I like frogs.

332
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:33,440
But the second sighting of 1972 occurred only two weeks later by another Loveland police

333
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,160
officer named Mark Matthews.

334
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,080
Now according to his report, Matthews was driving back into Loveland when he noticed

335
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,660
what he thought was an injured or dead animal in the middle of the road.

336
00:20:42,660 --> 00:20:47,000
So he stopped his car and got out to either check on the animal or just like move the

337
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,640
corpse off to the side of the road.

338
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:55,880
But as soon as he approached it, the animal, it shot up into a crouched position, I assume

339
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,880
like a frog would stand.

340
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,680
Yeah, okay.

341
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:06,000
Now the combination of it lurching up and the fact that it looked like a nightmare human-frog

342
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:11,000
hybrid.

343
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,080
So his name is so, I forgot I wrote this, but his name is Mark Matthews.

344
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,520
So this is how I wrote this sentence.

345
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:16,640
Are you ready for this?

346
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:17,640
I'm ready.

347
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,940
So the combination of it lurching up and the fact it looks like a nightmare human-frog

348
00:21:20,940 --> 00:21:29,920
hybrid, Eminem unholstered his gun and took a shot at the creature.

349
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,880
Now I'm impressed.

350
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:38,160
Now seemingly unfazed by this flagrant use of fucking excessive force, the frogman stood

351
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:43,960
up hobbled over to the guardrail, casually stepped over it all while maintaining eye

352
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:48,280
contact with the officer as if to be like, the fuck, like really dude?

353
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,240
Like you're just going to shoot me?

354
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:53,240
That's the scariest part.

355
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,960
They usually like your eyebrow like the rock.

356
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:56,960
Like really?

357
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:57,960
Just like, come on bro.

358
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:03,800
Like dude, just like, dude imagine shooting a fucking frogman.

359
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,760
It turned around and looked at me like that.

360
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:06,760
I would apologize.

361
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:07,760
I'm sorry.

362
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:08,760
I'm sorry.

363
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:09,760
I just put my gun down.

364
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:14,240
But the thing is it said it walked over to the guardrail on the side of the road, but

365
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,800
I don't know if it was like the guardrail that was like behind the police officer or

366
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:18,800
on the other side of the road.

367
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,720
Cause it said it maintained eye contact with him.

368
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,880
So it had to have been like walking towards him and be like, bro.

369
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,360
And then just like as he's climbing over, like really?

370
00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:27,360
Yeah.

371
00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:30,960
I feel like he popped up and then kind of, yeah, just maintained eye contact.

372
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,680
It was turning like he was turning his head to the left or right and just walking towards

373
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,160
like I'm watching you.

374
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,160
You motherfucker.

375
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,160
Come on man.

376
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,160
Yeah.

377
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,780
And I would hope that in that situation that the frogman would turn around and right before

378
00:22:43,780 --> 00:22:47,400
he went over the guardrail, he's looking at, he's looking at the guy and the guy's like

379
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:48,400
shrugs his shoulders.

380
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,400
Like, come on, man.

381
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,400
I mean, you're weird.

382
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:51,400
I mean, come on.

383
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:52,400
But you are right, dude.

384
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:53,400
Like I would profusely apologize.

385
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:59,400
Like if it just got up, like dude, like give me the, give me the look like that.

386
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:00,960
All right, bro.

387
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:01,960
I would give it my gun.

388
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:02,960
I'd be like, I'm so sorry.

389
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:03,960
Here you go.

390
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:04,960
I don't, I don't know what I did.

391
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:05,960
This is, this is on me.

392
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:06,960
I'm, I'm going to go.

393
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,960
Look, I'll give you one free one.

394
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:09,960
How about that?

395
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:10,960
Everybody gets one.

396
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,520
Just, just make sure you get shot.

397
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,960
Just shoot me like in a meaty part, like a calf or like I don't.

398
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:15,960
Yeah, exactly.

399
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,560
Like I'm going to take my shoulder out or something like that.

400
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,120
I'd be like, all right, right here.

401
00:23:19,120 --> 00:23:20,120
Just below the knee.

402
00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:21,640
Nothing like that would kill me.

403
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:22,640
Just I'm sorry.

404
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:23,640
Yeah.

405
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,640
Now, do I get a picture?

406
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:31,120
Now years later, Matthew's was started backpedaling and recant his story claiming it was just

407
00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:35,840
a normal lizard or large reptile that had escaped his enclosure or got too big and the

408
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,600
owners let it go into the wild.

409
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,700
My guess is that he got a lot of blowback from the department or like friends and family

410
00:23:42,700 --> 00:23:47,560
and just kind of like wanted to distance himself from the situation as much as true.

411
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,560
But I don't know.

412
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,560
It just, it kind of seems.

413
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,640
I, I, it has to, I feel like that's what it was.

414
00:23:55,640 --> 00:24:00,600
Like, why would you tell that story of you shooting a fucking frog man and then like

415
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,240
years later, be like, nah, I didn't shoot a frog.

416
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,280
What the fuck you talking about, dude?

417
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:09,800
You know why I bet it is because of the look back, because this guy was so convinced that

418
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,720
frog man popped up and he was getting ready and he shot it and then that fog turned around

419
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,560
and looked at him and fucked his whole story up.

420
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:16,560
Cause now he feels bad.

421
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,880
Cause now he's just like, he gets to that part and the story is like, and I fucking

422
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,640
shot him and then he turned around and, ah, sorry.

423
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,040
He was pissed.

424
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:27,040
What would you do?

425
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,360
I said, I was sorry.

426
00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:29,360
Yeah.

427
00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:30,360
Right.

428
00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:32,760
And then he, he walked away like a bitch.

429
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:33,760
Yeah.

430
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,080
You're one of those stories that halfway through you realize that you should stop telling that

431
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,080
story.

432
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,200
I think it makes you look like a bad ass, but then like, as soon as you say the one

433
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,480
thing you're like, ah, yeah, shot him and then he looked at me like I was an asshole.

434
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:46,480
Yeah.

435
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:47,480
And then he walked away.

436
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,280
And that's when you stop the story and just go, you had to be there.

437
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,280
Yeah.

438
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,360
It's a, you had to be there story.

439
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:55,360
Yeah.

440
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:59,360
You're like, right guys, right?

441
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:06,000
But yeah, so I don't know about that, but now the last known sighting was in Cincinnati

442
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:13,000
during the August of 2016 when Sam Jacobs and his girlfriend, ah, now I'm going to give

443
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,000
you a guess.

444
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,040
What was big in 2016 that had teenagers roaming all around their cities?

445
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,040
Oh my God.

446
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,040
2016.

447
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,040
Yeah.

448
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,040
Justin Bieber.

449
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,040
Nope.

450
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:29,080
Sam and his girlfriend were walking around playing Pokemon Go.

451
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,080
Oh yeah.

452
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,080
Pokemon Go.

453
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,760
She, you know what man, pre and post pandemic is just, there's no concept of time anymore.

454
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,520
That was seven years ago.

455
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:39,520
Okay.

456
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:40,520
Continue.

457
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:41,520
Wild.

458
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:42,520
I'm old.

459
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:43,520
Yeah.

460
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:44,520
But, ah, so yeah, they're playing Pokemon Go.

461
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,640
Jacob said that he crossed over some train tracks to get to the bank of the, of Lake

462
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,960
Isabella when he saw quote, a huge frog near the water.

463
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:53,960
Not in the game.

464
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,760
This was an actual giant frog.

465
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:02,080
He then went on to add quote, the thing stood up and walked on its hind legs.

466
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,760
I realize this sounds crazy, but I swear on my grandmother's grave, this is true.

467
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:07,760
End quote.

468
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:12,120
Ah, his description matches the others with the frog man coming in at about four feet

469
00:26:12,120 --> 00:26:17,280
tall and even managed to capture video and photographic evidence of it.

470
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:22,040
Ah, the images in video are like super dark and for some reason, of course they are.

471
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,440
And they, for some reason show the creature with like super bright glowing eyes, almost

472
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,520
like flashlights.

473
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:33,240
To me, this account is kinda suspicious, mostly because like the location is wrong.

474
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,160
Like it's in Cincinnati, 15 miles away.

475
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:41,600
Not to say that a frog can't fucking, a frog man couldn't swim or walk that far.

476
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,120
Ah, but also, it's just the fact that the videos are like sketchy.

477
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:49,840
Like if you look at it, and I saw some people try to like put it in Photoshop, like brighten

478
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,320
the image and you, there's a, like a figure there, but these bright glowing eyes, it looks

479
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,360
like someone just like holding like two flashlights where eyes would be.

480
00:26:57,360 --> 00:26:58,800
Because they're bright as fuck, dude.

481
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,360
Like they're the only things you can see in the video.

482
00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:04,800
When you said it, the first thing that I imagined was somebody taking like a Polaroid picture

483
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,800
and it's like when you get the reds in your eyes.

484
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,840
No, this is like, it's bright white.

485
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,200
Like it's not like, it doesn't look like a cone reflection or anything like that.

486
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:18,000
Like it looks like a dude holding like two flashlights above their head, like walking

487
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,000
through water.

488
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,000
I don't know.

489
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,000
It's sketchy.

490
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,560
But that's probably what it is.

491
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,000
I think you just cracked the case.

492
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,000
I did, dude.

493
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,640
I mean, I don't know.

494
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:27,640
Here, hold on.

495
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:28,640
Fuck it.

496
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:29,640
I'm going to send you the fucking picture.

497
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,200
That looks like, okay.

498
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:32,320
So I got your picture.

499
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:38,040
That looks like a guy who is just wading through the water and he has some sort of like backpack

500
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,920
on that has just flashlights.

501
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:40,920
Yeah.

502
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,160
It's probably a night fisherman or something like that.

503
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,160
Yeah.

504
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,160
Yeah.

505
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:46,160
Like a streamer set up or something.

506
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:52,440
But the thing is, so if you click on it, it shows the video, but the, what's it called?

507
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:57,640
Like the cover photo of the video is like, they try to like high, like upload, like up

508
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,560
the brightness so you can see like the figure.

509
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:01,680
I know what you mean.

510
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,720
And I really can tell.

511
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,800
There's a figure there, but it looks, but dude, it's definitely a fucking just like,

512
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,720
I think it's just somebody like wading in there and they've got like a couple, they

513
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,680
got like a backpack with, with a couple of flashlights sticking out.

514
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:15,680
Yeah, dude.

515
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,000
It's not like he's looking for something.

516
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,000
It's not good.

517
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,000
It's not to me.

518
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,000
That's why I think it's sketchy.

519
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,000
I don't know.

520
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,000
Maybe I'm jaded.

521
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,320
I just look at that and I'm like that, that's just a dude.

522
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:28,560
That's just, that's a meat.

523
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,840
That's just a dude who's just doing Pokemon go.

524
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,840
He's just, he's looking for magic carps.

525
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,720
Maybe Gyarados is in there.

526
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,240
First of all, you can't, I don't think you can catch a Gyarados and Pokemon go.

527
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,160
You gotta, you gotta catch the magic carp and you catch like a hundred of them.

528
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,160
And then it turns into Gyarados.

529
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,480
God, did you, did you not play Pokemon go?

530
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:49,480
Not really.

531
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:50,480
No, actually.

532
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:51,480
Clown.

533
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:52,480
Clown.

534
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,720
My Pokemon, my Pokemon playing stopped at yellow.

535
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,760
That was like, that's how old I am.

536
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:02,360
That was like base Gameboy color Pokemon go.

537
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:03,360
Yeah, man.

538
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,880
Like fucking link cables getting different EVs and shit.

539
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,400
Oh, I got the Thunder EV.

540
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:10,760
You need the fire one.

541
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:11,760
Give me the link cable.

542
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:12,760
Dude, I got you, bro.

543
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:13,760
Yeah.

544
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:14,760
So you gotta, do you have a DS?

545
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,440
We should, you gotta get fucking Sword and Shield, bro.

546
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:18,720
Actually, no, the new one's out.

547
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:19,720
I haven't played it yet.

548
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,240
We're straying so far from this fucking.

549
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:23,240
Yeah.

550
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:28,960
But yeah, but since then the Frogman hasn't been seen since, but it still lives on in

551
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,480
the hearts and minds of the people of Ohio, as well as all of us who love this type of

552
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:33,480
shit.

553
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,200
But yeah, so there you have it.

554
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,520
That's the story of the Loveland Frogman or Frogmen.

555
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:38,520
Dave.

556
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,240
I want to know what you thought of it.

557
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:49,680
I think that if there are frogmen out there who are possibly Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle-esque,

558
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,920
that can summon Patronuses.

559
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,000
They can.

560
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:59,840
And are in, seem to be, seem to be imperious to firearms.

561
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,080
Yeah, dude, I don't.

562
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,080
That's terrifying.

563
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,720
Yeah, it's a nightmare.

564
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,840
And why haven't they taken over the world yet?

565
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,920
Well, based off these stories, I'm going to assume there's only three of them.

566
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:13,920
Still, I mean.

567
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,040
But that just goes, like, so the first one was in 55.

568
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,840
The newest one, I guess, was in 2016.

569
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:24,440
Are they just immortal or is there like a colony of like fucking?

570
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:29,440
Well, you know, I think that there would be, there has to be a colony.

571
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:30,440
There has to be a small colony.

572
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,560
I mean, how are you breeding?

573
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,120
How are you breeding these things?

574
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,120
I don't know.

575
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:42,240
The one, so the two stories of the police officers in the 70s, frogs are cold blooded,

576
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:43,240
right?

577
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:44,240
Or are they warm?

578
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:45,520
They're cold blooded, right?

579
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,120
They're cold blooded.

580
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,320
Yeah, dude, why would they be fucking chilling out in the fucking like freezing ice?

581
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,960
Like, wouldn't they just die?

582
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,480
Or would their body just adapt to it?

583
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:57,480
I don't know how cold blooded works.

584
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,520
If I'm being completely honest with you, I have no idea.

585
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:01,640
I don't know, Dave.

586
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:09,720
I am reading this link that you sent me and like, it's just I'm really trying to suspend

587
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:15,480
belief here, man, but like just reading the quotes and just I'm hearing the guy's voice

588
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,080
in my head, like, not sure.

589
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,600
It was just frogmaid or giant frog out of the way.

590
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:21,600
Never seen that in Lackett.

591
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,040
And you're like, is that the first thing you thought?

592
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,880
I love that you say man when it was a 16 year old boy.

593
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,920
And I love that you gave him like the most deep south accent you could when it's literally

594
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,920
just like Cincinnati, Ohio.

595
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:40,440
Ohio, anything out west, west, that's that's the accent.

596
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:41,440
Everybody sounds like that.

597
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,240
I don't care where you're from.

598
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:45,240
That's what you sound like.

599
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,240
No, I like that.

600
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:47,240
Oh shit.

601
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,240
Well, John, that's a story.

602
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:49,240
What did you think?

603
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,240
What do you what are your thoughts?

604
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:58,240
Dave, I am so happy that I was on here and I got to learn about the Loughlin frogman

605
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:03,240
frogman slash men, which I'm hoping that it's more men than man because I think more than

606
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:04,960
one would be would be better.

607
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:05,960
Yeah.

608
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:10,240
When when we finish this up, I'll send you the picture of the first description that

609
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,560
someone drew, like the what they look like.

610
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,960
And I'll post it on the Instagram to just post a sexy lizard that I sent you on the

611
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:17,960
Instagram as well.

612
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:18,960
I will.

613
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,240
Because that's the first thing that I thought of when you said that he looked back at him.

614
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:23,240
I'll make sure to post it.

615
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:24,240
All right.

616
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,240
Great.

617
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,040
Well, that's that's it for the story.

618
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:28,720
I want to thank everyone for listening.

619
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,680
I want to thank John for being on.

620
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:32,920
Thank you for having me, Dave.

621
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,280
I would love to come on again and hear more stories from you.

622
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:36,280
This is fun.

623
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:37,280
Yeah, I know.

624
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:38,880
We've been talking about having you on this podcast.

625
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:43,240
The other podcast never came to fruition, so I'm glad you came on.

626
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:48,480
All right, everyone, if you're listening, please, if you can leave a rating and review

627
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:53,920
on Apple podcast, leave a rating on Spotify.

628
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:54,920
What else is there?

629
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:59,200
Follow us on Instagram at a cryptid cocktail.

630
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,260
And I think that's about it.

631
00:33:01,260 --> 00:33:06,560
Good luck all the casters at the Metazoo Water Tower happening at Loveland Frogman this week.

632
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,600
Loveland Frog Fest this weekend.

633
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:09,600
God damn it.

634
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:10,600
Dude, sorry.

635
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:11,600
So sorry.

636
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,400
We took a long time to get the actual podcast going.

637
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,280
So I've had like four beers in that like little amount of time.

638
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,280
So I'm a little little little weird.

639
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,000
But yeah, thanks for listening.

640
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:36,360
And thanks, everybody.
