00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:25,840
Hey everybody!

2
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,000
Welcome back to another episode of Cryptic Cocktail Party, a show where we have a few

3
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,280
jokes, share a few laughs, take a dive into the unknown.

4
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:37,320
I'm your host Dave and today I'm joined by possibly bestselling author, Sarge the Destroyer.

5
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:38,680
What's going on man?

6
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,640
Hell, I am not a bestselling author.

7
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:42,640
I'm very disappointed.

8
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:43,640
Kind of.

9
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:48,920
But I'm also very excited because I'm the number two bestselling author.

10
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:54,000
So in terms of comedy, that's probably the best position I could be in.

11
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,680
So thank you for making me number two.

12
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,720
No, that was so cool.

13
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:05,520
I, like a moron, had been preparing all week for this release, right?

14
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,440
And then I was like, I'm going to go hike a waterfall.

15
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,040
And in my head it was like, this is only going to take four hours.

16
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,040
Only.

17
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:20,000
And it took much longer than that, as it usually does.

18
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,440
And so I came back to Civilization and my phone just kept exploding with all of these

19
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,440
notifications and I was like, oh, you know what?

20
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,840
You know what you shouldn't do on the day your book releases?

21
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,360
Go on a hike where you have no cell phone service.

22
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:39,400
So I apologize to all the people who message me and I didn't respond for four hours.

23
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,080
I appreciate all of you.

24
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,640
I love you all very much.

25
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,200
This was the craziest thing ever.

26
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,040
I'm hoping you enjoy it.

27
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:52,200
I just want to reiterate, I literally did not make a dime off of any of the sales because

28
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:57,960
the price, the introductory price was just to get people to purchase it so you could

29
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,400
have something to take out your frustrations on.

30
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:01,480
So I hope you enjoy it.

31
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,600
I know you got your copy.

32
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,240
I did.

33
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,240
And I got my copy.

34
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:13,240
And what I was thinking is maybe at some point, maybe I'll do a TikTok live where we can just

35
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:18,240
color our friends at Narragansett said maybe we could do a coloring party at the brewery,

36
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,240
which would be fun.

37
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,240
Yeah.

38
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,120
If we can get that together, I'll definitely try and make my way up there for that.

39
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,120
For sure.

40
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,120
Yeah.

41
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,120
I mean, you could crash at my house.

42
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,120
You could just, I'll put up a tent in the yard.

43
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,120
Hey, dude, you know, it's weird.

44
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,200
My dog is a big cuddler, so you'll have something warm next to you.

45
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,200
That's for sure.

46
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,760
I kind of, I kind of miss camping.

47
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,640
I mean, not really, but like I used to do in New Hampshire all the time and ever since

48
00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:42,960
moving to the big city.

49
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,720
I'm a big, I'm a big camper.

50
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:50,440
Actually, I know it, I know it seems weird because I, I sound like I wouldn't know how

51
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:56,040
to operate most fire pits without gasoline.

52
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,240
See, that's the only thing I know how to do while camping.

53
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,600
I can, I can start a fire like it's no one's business.

54
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:01,600
Yeah, exactly.

55
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:02,600
I can start.

56
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:03,600
I'm good at fires.

57
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:04,600
Yeah.

58
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,440
I'm good at cooking on a fire.

59
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:12,200
I'm an expert on cooking on just open flame, but also I'm actually an accomplished backwards

60
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,120
camper by accomplished.

61
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,720
I mean, I'm an Eagle Scout.

62
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:16,720
That's right.

63
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:17,720
Motherfuckers.

64
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,520
When you thought side, but I am an Eagle Scout, believe it or not.

65
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,160
I'd never made it past Cub.

66
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:28,560
You can only imagine the torture that I put my poor Scout master through that poor man

67
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:34,760
because he had me during puberty and I was already really resistant to authority.

68
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,960
But then I was in the woods with a knife, you know?

69
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,840
So but I, I love camping.

70
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,040
It's like one of my favorite things to do.

71
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,440
I like to go up like Veterans Day weekend when it's freezing cold in New Hampshire, because

72
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:48,440
there's nobody there.

73
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,160
You could play a music as loud as you want and you're basically just drinking to stay

74
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,560
alive because if you stop drinking, your blood will freeze.

75
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,880
Yeah, that's pretty much it.

76
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,600
We used to do that in Wake up in Wakefield, New Hampshire, but there was an access road

77
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,720
that led up to the top of like a, I don't know, I think it was a quarry.

78
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,880
Basically we camped on a cliff and there was no one around.

79
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,400
Just get fucked up.

80
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,400
Listen to music.

81
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:19,200
We used to steal our friends dad's DeWalt's like construction radio.

82
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,200
Perfect.

83
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:25,280
They had an iPod dock on it back when iPods were like docked on things.

84
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:30,200
Yeah, no, I know exactly what you're talking about because I also had something like that.

85
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:35,520
I had this like weird clamshell of indestructibility.

86
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,420
It took like 16 AA batteries.

87
00:04:38,420 --> 00:04:40,040
Probably not that many, but an absurd amount.

88
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,200
Like you had to buy two packs.

89
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,200
Too many.

90
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,120
This one ran off of like a, cause it was like DeWalt.

91
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,480
If you had a DeWalt screw drive, like screw gun.

92
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,480
Oh, the little batteries.

93
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,480
One of the batteries that stick into it.

94
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,320
They just, we just stole a couple of those.

95
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,200
And then we would pack not enough water, too much beer.

96
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,200
Never.

97
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,760
Always, always too much beer.

98
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,040
I remember I used to go hiking with this one guy.

99
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,480
We were really good, not hiking.

100
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,760
We'd go camping with, he was a really good friend and he would always, we would always

101
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,400
have plenty of beer.

102
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:17,120
And then for breakfast, he would always give us apples and just insisted that we needed

103
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,280
fiber.

104
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:22,280
I was like, why?

105
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:24,920
I have had so much beer.

106
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,960
There is no way I'm going to be backed up.

107
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,920
Everything's coming out in about 30 seconds.

108
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,120
But also like, is he insisted on eating apples?

109
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,720
Is it like sober you up or does it like?

110
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,560
No, no, it literally, his exact wordage was we need fiber.

111
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,480
Okay, get some fucking Triscuits or like a fucking.

112
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:43,480
Yeah.

113
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,000
I was like, okay, man.

114
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,000
I didn't challenge him.

115
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
It was like the only thing he asked of me.

116
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,080
He would like bankroll the whole operation.

117
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,360
So I'm like, all right, buddy, like, because like I had the camping know how.

118
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,600
Did he at least like offer like to like slice them up with peanut butter or anything like

119
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:58,600
that?

120
00:05:58,600 --> 00:05:59,600
Oh yeah.

121
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:00,840
No, I mean, like it was, it was like a production.

122
00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:01,840
Okay.

123
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:05,840
So he wasn't just, just talking apples at you like eat the fucking apples.

124
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:07,840
He just insisted on apples every time.

125
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:12,560
And I was like, all right, man, I whatever that makes you happy.

126
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,560
But yeah, so that happened.

127
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,360
Also I met our friends down at the Narragansett Brewery in Providence.

128
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,360
How was that?

129
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,800
Holy cow, man.

130
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,240
Everyone there is the nicest people I've ever met.

131
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,020
I got this cool ass shirt.

132
00:06:25,020 --> 00:06:27,480
If you look in the back, it's Jaws.

133
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,480
Oh yeah.

134
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,600
Cause they're celebrating like it's the anniversary of Jaws.

135
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,600
Yeah.

136
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:39,200
So I got to meet Cam and a few other folks and we had so many ideas and hopefully they

137
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,800
remember them because I had had a couple of beers.

138
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,800
So I was just throwing shit at the wall.

139
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,520
But I was very excited.

140
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,100
I was very excited to be there.

141
00:06:48,100 --> 00:06:49,100
Everybody there was so nice.

142
00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:50,100
It was a very cool place.

143
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:51,880
There was, it was actually really busy.

144
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:57,840
I actually had to pay to park in the, in the parking lot next to the brewery because all

145
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:01,760
the free spots at the brewery were completely packed up.

146
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:02,760
Yeah.

147
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,120
So July 3rd, I went down there.

148
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,840
I met with Cam and a few other folks and we had a blast.

149
00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:08,920
That's fucking awesome, man.

150
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:09,920
Yeah.

151
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:10,920
And I had amazing beer.

152
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,480
They, it was like a watermelon shandy that you can't get in Massachusetts because Massachusetts

153
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:20,000
is a bunch of dicks when it comes to Narragansett.

154
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,840
It's hard to get the good stuff up here.

155
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,880
Like I mean, it's all good, but like, it's hard to get like all the different flavors.

156
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,200
Like they have this badass IPA that I really liked.

157
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,200
Yeah.

158
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,960
Like there's a bunch of beers that people don't know they make and it's wild.

159
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,760
Like they have so many variety, cause the people, they just think they have Dell's Shandy

160
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,640
and they have the lager, but there's like a bunch of other stuff.

161
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,120
Dell's Shandy is hands down my favorite beer ever created.

162
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,560
Like that is the summer drink of summer drinks.

163
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:45,560
Like.

164
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:46,560
Yep.

165
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,560
Fourth of July.

166
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:48,560
That's all I drank.

167
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:54,480
I, I like started drinking around two in the afternoon and it was just Dell's Shandy the

168
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,160
whole day.

169
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,760
But they also make this amazing hard iced tea.

170
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,300
Oh, I did not know that.

171
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:03,080
And I fucking read that now.

172
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,680
A million times better than Mike's or what is it?

173
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,400
What is the hard iced tea that you can get?

174
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:09,400
I don't even know.

175
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,360
Cause I don't drink it, but it's a twisted, twisted tea.

176
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:18,880
I had twisted tea like years and years ago when I was like just turned 21 and didn't

177
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:19,880
know.

178
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:20,880
Yeah.

179
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:21,880
Yeah.

180
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:27,360
So I think hard iced tea is slightly carbonated and it tastes like.

181
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,600
That's what just the tea is missing.

182
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:29,600
It's missing that slight.

183
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:30,600
I feel like that's.

184
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:31,600
Yeah.

185
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:32,600
Okay.

186
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,600
Sorry, we got a little bit.

187
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,600
We got a bit of.

188
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,480
Yes.

189
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,840
We need to go over today.

190
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:42,840
This is.

191
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:43,840
Fucking love wholesome content.

192
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:49,400
This is a message from a listener to the show, Matthew, also known as bulk detonator on Instagram.

193
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,600
All he sent us a very, very sweet message.

194
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:53,840
That kind of got me a little emotional.

195
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,520
It says you and Sarge are the best podcast I've heard in a long time.

196
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,620
My friend is a huge cryptid fan and I've always had a passing interest.

197
00:09:00,620 --> 00:09:02,040
That was sorry.

198
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,460
That has grown thanks to him and the ridiculous conversations we have.

199
00:09:06,460 --> 00:09:09,560
It's exactly like this show as two new England guys.

200
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:12,020
It's also awesome to see local guys doing stuff like this.

201
00:09:12,020 --> 00:09:14,140
The Dover demon had me fucking dying, dude.

202
00:09:14,140 --> 00:09:16,720
The buckle brush made me laugh so frigging hard.

203
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,180
I spilled my strawberry quick.

204
00:09:19,180 --> 00:09:21,640
Best podcast ever.

205
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,520
I also like to give a big thanks to both of you for being such fucking awesome allies

206
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,880
to the LGBTQ plus community.

207
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,200
It not only helps us in the community feel supported, but you guys kind of normalize

208
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:36,040
being an ally for, well, you know, those kinds of guys who want to be allies, but still have

209
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:42,600
a lot of weirdness to work out about being gay and such good people with a rough upbringing.

210
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:43,720
Please keep this show going.

211
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,160
It's wicked funny kid.

212
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:46,160
So thank you, Matthew.

213
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,360
That was very sweet of you.

214
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,360
So Matt actually sent me a message as well.

215
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,940
And it was it was largely the same thing.

216
00:09:53,940 --> 00:09:57,120
And I just, Matt, I appreciate you.

217
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,680
And God damn, Matt.

218
00:09:58,680 --> 00:09:59,680
Yeah.

219
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:01,160
Did you see his beard?

220
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,280
He did this awesome braid.

221
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,880
No, I saw one where he had like some stars in it.

222
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:07,880
It looks fucking awesome.

223
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,160
All I know is that his nails are always on fucking point.

224
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,160
He's always got mad.

225
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,480
Got some bad ass nails.

226
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,600
I've actually noticed that that's become like a really big thing just in general.

227
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,600
Yeah.

228
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:27,960
I was at McDonald's the other day and this this kid serving the food had nice and nails

229
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,160
than most of the women that I work with.

230
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,880
And I was like, how do you do that?

231
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,200
Will you work at McDonald's?

232
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,720
Like that's that's a talent.

233
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:37,720
Also Matt.

234
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:38,720
So anyway, Matt.

235
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:39,720
Oh yeah.

236
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:40,720
Go ahead.

237
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:41,720
You say first.

238
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:42,720
I'll say Matthew.

239
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:43,720
You speak first.

240
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:49,160
Matthew has been sending me at least once a day videos of him blowing up stuff and I

241
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,160
can't.

242
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,160
What the fuck, Matt?

243
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,800
Why am I being left out?

244
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,720
I don't think he doesn't know that you're not in the on the Instagram, but I'll let

245
00:10:58,720 --> 00:10:59,720
him know.

246
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:00,720
But yeah.

247
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,920
So thank you, Matt, for the nice kind words.

248
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,880
Thank you for the demolition videos because I enjoy watching.

249
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:13,160
Listen, Matt, one of my primary weapons in Iraq was the Mark 19 automatic launcher.

250
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:21,600
So please send me anything in everything you blow up because that would make me so happy.

251
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,600
But Matt, thank you for thank you for that message.

252
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,040
Seriously, it absolutely makes my day.

253
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,440
Yeah, absolutely love it.

254
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,200
Definitely made me feel things when I read it for sure.

255
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:31,200
All right.

256
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,200
So we have an episode to go over.

257
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,200
Are you ready?

258
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,200
We do.

259
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,160
I noticed I need I actually I need a Narragansett.

260
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,560
I need to go get a Narragansett.

261
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:39,560
All right.

262
00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:40,560
Well, then I'll wait for you to come back.

263
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:43,600
And it's my bad for not having some on deck.

264
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:44,920
I'm just stupid right now.

265
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:45,920
Be right back.

266
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:46,920
Hi, neighbor.

267
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:47,920
You have a beautiful singing voice.

268
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:53,320
And it died.

269
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:54,320
I'm going to keep that in there.

270
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,600
I'm going to put like a little one of those little punishment.

271
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,080
It's my punishment for you not singing.

272
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,080
All right.

273
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,480
So before we start recording, a little bit of a technical difficulty.

274
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:09,080
And as you were leaving to rejoin, you notice the name of the studio that I had come up

275
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,680
with.

276
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:13,200
I'm not going to say it out loud, but I love it.

277
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,280
Do you I mean, do you want to say it out loud?

278
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:20,120
Well, I mean, I feel like it would be like another term for the Shroud of Turin, you

279
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,760
know, like Shroud of Turin to God's Kumbrak.

280
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,120
So it's a it's a little weird.

281
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,680
It's not going to be a cryptid or something like that.

282
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:33,680
But we are going to head back to some familiar territory.

283
00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:37,280
Today we're going to be traveling to the great state of Washington.

284
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,880
Now, lots of big things have come out of this state is the birthplace of grunge bands like

285
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,880
Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney and most famously Nirvana.

286
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:51,280
It's also the birthplace of America's greatest patriot, Drew Bledsoe.

287
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:57,200
He was he was born in Ellensburg, Washington, which, if you remember, is right around where

288
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,840
Mel's Hole is located.

289
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,320
But now I'm starting to see now I'm starting to see it.

290
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,280
Now I know why he just disappeared in 2001.

291
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:07,280
Exactly.

292
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:12,880
It wasn't because some young hotshot rookie just fucking took over for him while he was

293
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:13,880
injured.

294
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,440
But but it's not all awesome.

295
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,120
Washington state is also home to some of the worst corporations known to man.

296
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,720
You got Starbucks, which is famous for union busting and taking the Christ out of Christmas.

297
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,560
It was founded in Washington in 1971.

298
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:30,400
And I'm mad at him about one of those things.

299
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:35,720
Amazon, known for being just all around the worst, was founded in Bellevue, Washington

300
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:36,960
in 1994.

301
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,160
Also, Sarge's supernormal dot com directs you straight to Amazon where you can buy his

302
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,200
new coloring book.

303
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,720
It's my deal with the devil.

304
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,040
But at the same time, I think my book might put Amazon out of business.

305
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,040
So I'm OK with that.

306
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:56,200
So it's also trying to radicalize people one coloring book at a time.

307
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,800
It's also home to Boeing, a company who just does not care if any of their planes stay

308
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:01,800
in the sky.

309
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:07,800
It was founded there in 1916, but besides awesome music, greedy CEOs and strange holes,

310
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:12,120
Washington state is where the small town of Oakville is located, which is where our story

311
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,120
takes place.

312
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:18,200
See, Oakville isn't a very extraordinary town.

313
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,080
It's little it's in the middle of fucking nowhere.

314
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,520
And when I say that, I mean, like it is nowhere.

315
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,760
The current population is 700 people.

316
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,020
And the most famous person to come out of there is a paleontologist, which is cool.

317
00:14:31,020 --> 00:14:34,500
But I mean, it's nothing to really write about.

318
00:14:34,500 --> 00:14:38,940
But there is one notable exception as to why this town has seen some media coverage, even

319
00:14:38,940 --> 00:14:41,760
getting its own segment on unsolved mysteries.

320
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:47,380
And that is because in the summer of 1994, a translucent gelatinous substance rained

321
00:14:47,380 --> 00:14:50,400
down over the town that has been dubbed the Oakville blobs.

322
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,280
Are you familiar with the Oakville blobs?

323
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:57,440
I'm not familiar that it was from Oakville, but I knew raining blobs was a thing.

324
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:58,440
Yeah.

325
00:14:58,440 --> 00:14:59,440
And I'm very excited.

326
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,480
So rain in Washington state isn't out of the ordinary.

327
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,960
It rains a fucking shit ton there.

328
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:11,520
On average, it rains something like 149 days out of the year, according to the bad guy

329
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:16,680
from another stakeout who replaced Robert Stack as the host of Unsolved Mysteries.

330
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,680
So so.

331
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:32,680
The best part is you didn't even say his name.

332
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,560
You just named the most obscure movie.

333
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:36,560
What do you mean?

334
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:37,560
That movie is phenomenal.

335
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:38,560
Come on.

336
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,640
Is another stakeout the one that had Rosie O'Donnell in it?

337
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:42,640
Yeah.

338
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:43,640
Yeah, it's got.

339
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:44,640
Yep.

340
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:45,640
Yep.

341
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,080
Emilio Estevez, Richard Dreyfus and Rosie O'Donnell.

342
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,120
And actually, that movie, Another Stakeout, has my favorite line in it.

343
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,080
And Richard Dreyfus is like playing an old man.

344
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,720
He's like, don't go yet.

345
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,960
You could watch me eat.

346
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:01,960
Underrated movie.

347
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,680
But also, that's the only thing that I can remember.

348
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:04,680
Underrated.

349
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,120
The new guy, the guy from Unsolved Mysteries B again.

350
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:09,120
That's fine.

351
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,120
I can't.

352
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,440
I can't remember either.

353
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:16,000
So when torrential rain started falling in the early morning of August 7th, 1994, no

354
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,800
one really gave a shit.

355
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,880
That is until people started to notice that what was actually falling from the sky wasn't

356
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:28,360
water but some sort of jelly like goo, no bigger than a grain of rice.

357
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:33,480
And it wasn't like mixed in with like your normal run of the mill boilerplate rain.

358
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,040
It was more like snow or hail in the daytime.

359
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,400
Like the morning after it stopped raining, you could see it covering like the grass and

360
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:41,720
rooftops.

361
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,660
One resident, Doddy Hearn, described it like, quote, hail laying on top of the wood box

362
00:16:46,660 --> 00:16:48,400
and everywhere else, end quote.

363
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,760
And while on patrol, police officer David Lacey recalled that around 3 a.m., the blob

364
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,440
started hitting the windshield of his patrol car.

365
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,080
And that, quote, we turned our windshield wipers on and it just started smearing to

366
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,920
the point where we could almost see, not see.

367
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,880
We both looked at each other and we said, geez, this isn't right.

368
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,960
I mean, we're out in the middle of nowhere, basically.

369
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,720
And where did this come from?

370
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,380
End quote.

371
00:17:11,380 --> 00:17:14,480
He then told Unsolved Mysteries that he pulled into a gas station.

372
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:21,600
I'm assuming the only one in town so that he could, quote, unquote, de-goo his windshield.

373
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:22,600
Luckily he was smart.

374
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,720
Oh, I love it.

375
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,520
Luckily he was smart and put on some gloves before he started playing around with this

376
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,520
unknown sky goo.

377
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,700
And he said that it felt like if you had jello in your hands and you could like squish it

378
00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:36,200
around in your fingers.

379
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,040
Like you do, like you do when you just grab a fistful of jello and squeeze.

380
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,760
Yeah, you don't do that.

381
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:42,760
Yeah.

382
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,680
It's a nasty manhood, it's fine.

383
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,400
But this was just the beginning.

384
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:47,960
Over the next month, it would rain down.

385
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,880
God come five more times over an area spanning 20 square miles.

386
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,880
Now, sorry, she might be wondering, well, what's the big deal?

387
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,600
Just a little mystery goo falling from the heavens.

388
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,680
A little goo never hurt nobody, right?

389
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:01,680
Wrong.

390
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:02,680
I mean, it depends.

391
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:03,680
It depends.

392
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,600
Some goo, some goo.

393
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:06,880
It definitely hurts people.

394
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,200
There's laws about that now.

395
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,960
Well, later that afternoon.

396
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:12,960
I'm just stating a fact.

397
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:13,960
I wasn't being gross.

398
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:14,960
No, I get.

399
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:15,960
Yeah.

400
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:25,080
So later that afternoon, Officer Lacey suddenly become became like aggressively ill.

401
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:29,400
He could barely breathe, was violently sick, almost to the point of his entire body just

402
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:30,800
shutting down.

403
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:35,200
Now across town, Doddy Hearn, the woman who said it looks like hail, she was in worse

404
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:36,200
shape.

405
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,120
She had also touched the blobs.

406
00:18:38,120 --> 00:18:41,120
But unlike Officer Lacey, she wasn't wearing any gloves.

407
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:44,480
And she said that she started feeling dizzy at first, kind of like a bad case of vertigo

408
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:49,880
that just kept getting worse and worse and worse, causing her to become extremely nauseous.

409
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:56,040
An hour later, her daughter, Sunny Barcliffe, would find Doddy sprawled out on her bathroom

410
00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:02,400
floor, cold, drenched in sweat, vomit just fucking everywhere and unable to move because

411
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,400
her vertigo was so bad that her vision was almost non-existent.

412
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:11,440
So it sounds like they all got a bad case of gooneria.

413
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,440
Goddamn it.

414
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,600
This poor woman almost died.

415
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:17,840
And that's the best you could come up with.

416
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:18,840
Come on, man.

417
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:19,840
Oh, man.

418
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:25,200
That's what happens when God gives you an STD.

419
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:30,040
So Doddy ended up spending three days in the hospital.

420
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,640
Oh, oh, I didn't know it was that bad.

421
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:38,760
She was diagnosed with a severe inner ear infection.

422
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,720
And over the next few weeks and five more blah brains later, almost the entire town

423
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,600
would get sick, with dozens being admitted to the hospital for flu and inner ear infection

424
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:48,600
symptoms.

425
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:53,400
And this wasn't just like your common flu where you're sick for a week and then you're

426
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:54,400
fine.

427
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:59,360
Like these symptoms lasted between seven weeks to almost three months in some cases.

428
00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:06,560
Even worse, even worse, several cats and dogs that came into contact with the blobs also

429
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,240
got sick and tragically passed away.

430
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,480
Like a lot of animals died from this.

431
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:16,000
Oh, it sounds like they all got long goovid.

432
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,960
I'm mildly ashamed of that one.

433
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:21,960
I quit.

434
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:22,960
This is going to be our last episode.

435
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:23,960
Too soon?

436
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:24,960
Is it too soon?

437
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:25,960
This episode is over.

438
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:31,680
It's been a fun ride, everyone.

439
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,240
Well, good night, everybody.

440
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:41,120
So question, was it the blobs causing everyone to become sick or is this just like a case

441
00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:43,240
of small town?

442
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,720
Everyone's just like up everyone else's ass.

443
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,400
So sickness kind of just runs rampant through town.

444
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:50,920
Well, we don't know.

445
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,240
But luckily, Doddy's daughter, Sonny, collected samples of the gelatinous material and brought

446
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,320
it to the hospital to be tested.

447
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,080
And this raised way more questions than it answered.

448
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,080
For one.

449
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,080
Yeah.

450
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,520
The doctor was like, why is it in your mouth?

451
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:09,640
She's like, normally where I store this.

452
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:10,640
God damn.

453
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:11,640
All right.

454
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:16,160
So for one, I didn't even know where I was going with that.

455
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,760
I was just like, she would like open her mouth, tuck her tongue out.

456
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,400
Just a cum joke.

457
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,600
This is my my goo collection procedure.

458
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,480
So, well, you went porn with it.

459
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:33,040
I was thinking like catching snowflakes on your tongue, maybe catch some goo.

460
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,040
Oh, yeah.

461
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,040
OK, no.

462
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,040
Now I see where you're driving at.

463
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,040
Now I see where you're driving at.

464
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,040
OK, yeah.

465
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,040
That was my bad.

466
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,600
So it raised more questions than it answered.

467
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:45,840
For one, the lab tech discovered that one, no idea what the fuck this is.

468
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,200
And two, that it contained.

469
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,520
I hate I'm going to say this because you're just going to make it worse.

470
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:54,200
Is that is that it contained human white blood cells?

471
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,200
Yes.

472
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:03,000
Oh, I'm not even going to I'm going to let it go.

473
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,000
I'm just going to let it go.

474
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,000
All right.

475
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,960
So realizing this might be a little out of.

476
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,200
Also, the sperm count was very low.

477
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,640
Realizing this might be a little out of his league, he sent the sample off to Mike McDowell

478
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,160
at the Washington State Department of Health.

479
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,400
There it was discovered that the sample was full of two different types of bacteria, one

480
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:28,520
of which and it smelled like chlorine, which is weird.

481
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:34,880
One of the one of the bacteria discovered is found in the human digestive system.

482
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:41,640
So fuck this is another Mel's whole situation that I open up a whole can of worms here that's

483
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:52,040
just going to make you remember that story when we were kids when they said, like Rod

484
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,280
Stewart had swallowed so much he had to have his stomach pumped.

485
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,240
So you heard that about little Kim and Wu Tang Clan.

486
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,240
Yeah.

487
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,360
And at some point, somebody said about Gwen Stefani, too.

488
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:02,600
It's a persistent rumor.

489
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,360
They just keep changing the name with every generation.

490
00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:09,760
But I guess it originally started out with Rod Stewart and his assistant did it, apparently.

491
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:10,760
Oh, OK.

492
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:11,760
Yeah.

493
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:12,760
So is that it?

494
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:13,760
Yeah.

495
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:19,040
No, I just you know, the minute you mentioned digestion.

496
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,040
Fuck me.

497
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,200
All right.

498
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,920
So armed with this new information, it's really like God's bukkake is what you're saying.

499
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:26,920
You're right.

500
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:34,040
I should have named the studio a little bit better.

501
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,280
So armed with this new information, Sonny, Doddy's daughter thought, OK, well, maybe

502
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,880
it's like human waste dropped from an airplane because that happens.

503
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:42,880
I've seen Joe Dirt.

504
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:43,880
Yeah.

505
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,360
So she so she reached out to the FAA to be like, you know, our town is not your fucking

506
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:49,360
toilet.

507
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:50,960
What the fuck are you doing?

508
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:55,060
But that theory was immediately ruled out because FAA regulations state that all human

509
00:23:55,060 --> 00:23:59,120
waste once it's in the airplane is to be dyed blue.

510
00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:04,720
So it couldn't be that because whatever this stuff was, it was like crystal clear.

511
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,940
So at this point in the story, we're going to add it to a year passing since the last

512
00:24:09,940 --> 00:24:13,760
time the heavens splooged all over this small town.

513
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:14,760
Wait, I'm sorry.

514
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:15,760
What year was this again?

515
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:16,760
Ninety four.

516
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:17,760
So now we're in ninety five.

517
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,100
So like so like fucking it's fucking Crystal Pepsi.

518
00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:24,240
That's what did it.

519
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,240
It's Crystal Pepsi.

520
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,520
This is I remember the Van Halen video.

521
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:32,120
It's like a fucked up like viral marketing plan and they just really dropped the ball

522
00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:33,120
on it.

523
00:24:33,120 --> 00:24:36,240
Do you remember, do you remember the Crystal Pepsi commercials?

524
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,080
It was like Van Halen's right now was playing the whole time.

525
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:43,040
It was like this epic commercial for the worst beverage in history.

526
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,040
So gross.

527
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,120
They tried to bring it back and it did not.

528
00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:46,800
It was not any better.

529
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,440
It was non-alcoholic Zima.

530
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:49,800
It was the worst on earth.

531
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:50,800
Yeah, it was.

532
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:58,280
That's all I would actually rather take God's Bukaki than Crystal Pepsi.

533
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:03,440
Well, I mean, if you move to Oakville, Washington, you might get your chance.

534
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:08,080
So like a year has passed since the last time like a rain goo.

535
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:13,560
But there's still no answer as to what these blobs of goo are or why everyone in town got

536
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,640
violently ill after they appeared.

537
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:21,600
Luckily, Sunny isn't one to give up and she'd actually she'd actually save some samples

538
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:31,120
in her freezer and sent them out for an independent testing to be done by Tim Davis at Amtesk

539
00:25:31,120 --> 00:25:32,120
Laboratories.

540
00:25:32,120 --> 00:25:36,960
She's running an amateur sperm bank in the house.

541
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,040
So wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

542
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,400
That's not the globs.

543
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,200
That was just some that I got earlier.

544
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,160
That was for another thing.

545
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:45,160
You're going to hate.

546
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:50,080
I already regret everything that's about to come after us.

547
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:55,080
So she sent him off to Tim Davis at Amtesk Laboratories where he discovered what he thought

548
00:25:55,080 --> 00:26:00,920
was eukaryotic cells, which is a type of cell that is present in most animals, meaning that

549
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:01,920
you carry out.

550
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:02,920
Yeah, I know this.

551
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:03,920
I know this.

552
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:10,240
So from watching many young Earth creationist debates, I have weird hobbies.

553
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:15,460
So pretty much what this means, if you don't know, is that the blobs were either currently

554
00:26:15,460 --> 00:26:18,240
or at one point alive.

555
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,320
And this cell is what was mistaken for the human white blood cells.

556
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:30,520
I think if I'm reading, this is the most unintentionally hilarious episode I know.

557
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:35,360
But even with this piece of information, there still wasn't into this day isn't any explanation

558
00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:36,960
as to what the fuck it was.

559
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,360
But there are some theories.

560
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:41,640
None of them involve God's come.

561
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:42,640
That was.

562
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:43,640
Yeah, right.

563
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:44,640
Right.

564
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:51,760
So one theory is that the U.S. Navy was conducting live bombing run drills.

565
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,320
I knew semen were to blame.

566
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,640
I didn't even think about this.

567
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:03,120
But one theory is that the U.S. Navy was conducting live bombing run drills in the Pacific Ocean

568
00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:04,680
off the coast of Washington.

569
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,620
And during those drills, they accidentally blew up a school of jellyfish.

570
00:27:08,620 --> 00:27:13,040
The jellyfish chunks got shot up into the air, got caught in the current and floated

571
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:17,560
50 miles inland to their small town and rained down.

572
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,120
It's not the most wild theory.

573
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:22,000
They blessed Washington state with ropes of freedom.

574
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Pretty much.

575
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,520
But it's not it's not the most wild.

576
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,960
I mean, animals get sucked up into the sky and rain down all the time.

577
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,280
Frogs, fish.

578
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:32,280
It happens.

579
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:38,600
The only problem with this theory that I Denver said, I promise you that I have is it happened

580
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,960
six times over a one month period.

581
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,160
I don't know how the sky or the oceans work at all.

582
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:51,880
But I think it's a little unlikely that it would continuously happen over a month period.

583
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,200
And that seems excessive.

584
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:54,200
That seems.

585
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,200
Yeah.

586
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,880
But the Air Force did confirm that they were conducting bombing runs over the Pacific.

587
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,460
So I don't know.

588
00:28:00,460 --> 00:28:05,640
Theory two is star jelly or did I fuck this name?

589
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:11,480
Star astral jelly star star gel.

590
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,200
So star jelly isn't like a scientific name for this phenomenon.

591
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,560
But basically it's something that has been reported as far back as the 14th century and

592
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:23,560
has been linked to things like frog eggs, jelly fungus, masses of amoebas, things like

593
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,320
that, shit that would pop up like after a rainstorm.

594
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,560
I mean, frog eggs are pretty fucking gross.

595
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:30,560
Have you seen those?

596
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:31,560
Yeah, they're not ideal.

597
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:32,560
It's all bad.

598
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,960
It's like it's like sad tapioca.

599
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,280
Yeah, it's gross.

600
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,080
The only problem with this theory is that star jelly has never been actually witnessed

601
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,760
falling from the skies.

602
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,720
So this like Oakville until now.

603
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:47,120
Well, that would be like this would be the first since the 14th century.

604
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,560
So I don't know if we're going to go with that one.

605
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:54,400
Now, the final theory and my favorite is that the government was doing a test run of a new

606
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,640
biological weapon.

607
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,200
While the Air Force did say they were conducting bomb tests in the Pacific, some think it may

608
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,800
be a cover up.

609
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,560
Sunny told Unsolved Mysteries that they had a significant amount of military aircraft

610
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,840
flying over their home prior to the jelly rain and everyone else getting sick.

611
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:16,360
Her mother, Dottie, said that quote, every day almost we had slow flying bombers, helicopters,

612
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:17,360
all black and color.

613
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,400
And we kind of thought maybe it might have come from them.

614
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,560
End quote.

615
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,660
Another resident, Maurice Goble, I think I say pronounce I have no idea, said, quote,

616
00:29:24,660 --> 00:29:26,840
they let off things in the air all the time here.

617
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,280
There's testing done all over the place.

618
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:33,840
There's lots of places that you can't go into, end quote, with another resident named Beverly

619
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:39,420
Roberts saying maybe we were we were a biological experiment of some kind, a small one, maybe

620
00:29:39,420 --> 00:29:43,800
just to get people a little bit sick to find out, say, if an enemy did come over here with

621
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,720
a biological bomb or something and dropped it, maybe it was just a test run to see what

622
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,160
would happen.

623
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:55,080
Beverly, she makes this so they're just they're just trying to impregnate the world with its

624
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,360
with with our freedom.

625
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:00,800
I guess, but the thing about Beverly's quote that I love is that she she makes it sound

626
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,680
like she thinks the government did this for their own good.

627
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:08,000
Like, yeah, look, we almost murdered your whole town, but we did it so we could protect

628
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,840
you if another government were to come in and do it.

629
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:16,080
They just wanted to see what would happen so that we they we can be better.

630
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,920
Thank you, government.

631
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,560
But anyways, to this day, we don't know no idea what these things are.

632
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:27,160
You might be asking yourself, well, science and technology has advanced so far in the

633
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:28,160
last 30 years.

634
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:29,640
Why don't we just retest it?

635
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:30,640
That's a very good question, Sarge.

636
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,200
I'm glad you ask.

637
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:33,200
We could if we would.

638
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:39,000
I asked to all known samples of this blob have mysteriously gone missing in the Washington

639
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,160
Department of Health.

640
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,800
They have no records of the sample even ever being received by them.

641
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:45,800
So damn it.

642
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:46,800
So who knows?

643
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:47,800
It could.

644
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,960
But it also kind of makes the government conspiracy thing seem a little more credible.

645
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,640
But we need to check that one lady's freezer and see if maybe she's got a couple of vials

646
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:56,640
left.

647
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:57,640
But holding out.

648
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,400
But they have a search.

649
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,360
That's the story of the Oakville blobs.

650
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:09,880
Little despite my childish inability to take any of this seriously, I do have to say that

651
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:17,520
I am not I'm not as skeptical of this as I as I normally am, because I do think weird

652
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,560
shit falls from the sky all the time.

653
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,360
For sure.

654
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,520
We still struggle to fully understand why frogs fall from the sky.

655
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:26,520
Yeah, it's like a budget.

656
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:32,360
It could be like a wind, like a vortex, like not a vortex, but yeah, like a funnel or something.

657
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,000
No one knows.

658
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,840
I mean, were they able I forget, were they able to determine if those eukaryotic cells

659
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:44,400
were like, were they able to decide what kind of animal they were?

660
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,760
Were they just able to say it was a mammalian?

661
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:47,760
Just able to say it was animal.

662
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,120
They didn't say if it came from.

663
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,120
But it's not 10 before.

664
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,800
I don't know if they would have been able to.

665
00:31:52,800 --> 00:32:00,720
I mean, I think GPS, I feel like GPS became more prevalent in the early 90s.

666
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,280
But I mean, it was still in its infancy, I think.

667
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,560
So I don't I have no idea.

668
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,600
Certainly not an expert in that field whatsoever.

669
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:16,280
But I just to me, it doesn't it's not one of those things where I'm like, oh, that's

670
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:17,280
fucking nuts.

671
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,200
Whoever said that is high.

672
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:26,560
My in my mind, besides the come jokes, I was trying to figure out like.

673
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,160
What could have possibly created that?

674
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,160
And I have no idea.

675
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,840
I'm just I'm at a loss for words.

676
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:36,480
I mean, the jellyfish thing to me seems probably the most accurate.

677
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,880
But also, I mean, yeah, I don't know if I didn't see this theory, but I mean, it could

678
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:47,100
also be like if there was I don't know what's in the area, but there could be like a chemical

679
00:32:47,100 --> 00:32:51,240
plant or something like that, like something got into the atmosphere mixed with the water,

680
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,720
turned into a jelly and rained down.

681
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,720
The only problem is like, what could they have possibly been working on that would have

682
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:02,240
introduced to carry out excels, because those are like, I don't know how the sample was

683
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:03,240
collected.

684
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,920
She could have fucking like done one of these and like scooped it in with her.

685
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:06,920
You know what I mean?

686
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,920
Like she could have scooped it with her hand.

687
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,600
Yeah, it could be like it could come from literally anywhere.

688
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:13,600
Yeah, no, that's true.

689
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,480
Yeah, that's a good point.

690
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:20,080
We'll never know this is going to be frustrating as hell to me.

691
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:21,080
It's already been 30 years.

692
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,080
We have no idea.

693
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,480
Yeah, we're never going to know because the samples are all gone.

694
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,880
So we can't retest it.

695
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:27,880
Thanks.

696
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:32,440
And that's why the chain of custody is where the chain of custody when it comes to evidence

697
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:33,440
is so important.

698
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,040
Yeah, because like I said, the Department of Health, they have no records of even receiving

699
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,400
it, let alone testing it.

700
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,100
So I don't know.

701
00:33:40,100 --> 00:33:45,080
But are you trying to tell me that the dude who played fucking Nick Miller's dad and Dennis

702
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,920
Farina, by the way, that's his name.

703
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:47,920
I know.

704
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:48,920
Yeah, I looked it up.

705
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,600
I was going to call you were talking because I needed to know.

706
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:58,720
Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that guy, he wouldn't lie to us, right?

707
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:07,640
It's actually funny because I had a friend that I used to work with and we went to this

708
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,200
like work event at a bar.

709
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,800
So there was like everybody in the in the office.

710
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:21,560
We were all in this bar and she's she's sitting at a table and she calls me over and I think

711
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,080
it's going to be like something important.

712
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,440
She's got like a very serious, like troubled look on her face.

713
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:32,120
And the wall in the bar is covered with paintings of different celebrities.

714
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,840
It was a fun club.

715
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:39,840
We did have to we did have to pay to get in and they did give you handcuffs at the door.

716
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:48,320
But no, she pointed to the wall and was like, is that is that the guy from Snatch?

717
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:49,320
And I'm like, what?

718
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:54,440
I'm like, yeah, why is the guy from Snatch on the same wall as like Frank Sinatra and

719
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,080
Marilyn Monroe?

720
00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:01,440
Dennis Farina isn't exactly like the most well known guy in the world, but it was it

721
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:02,600
was literally him.

722
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,480
Like there was no mistaking it.

723
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:09,000
But I mean, like he's not he might not be the best actor, but if when you see him, you

724
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,000
know him.

725
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Yeah.

726
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,000
But we were mystified.

727
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:17,120
Like why would you have Dennis Farina and not like Joey Pantalone or like Terry Elwes?

728
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:22,360
Like why is this one character actor here, but you don't have any of the others?

729
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,400
Maybe his dad owns the bar.

730
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:26,400
That could be it.

731
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:27,880
That could be it.

732
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,600
So when you said when you said the guy who took over for Robert Stack, I immediately

733
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,120
was like the guy from Snatch.

734
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,960
I got to look this up.

735
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,680
Not not the not the guy from another stakeout.

736
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,800
That's the only thing that I can think of that him and that new girl.

737
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:46,600
I remember I remembered him from Snatch because he says my favorite line ever in that movie

738
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,560
when they're like, do you have anything to declare it?

739
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,560
He's like, yeah, don't go to England.

740
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,200
I mean, that's a great declaration.

741
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:55,200
I'll take it.

742
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:56,200
Oh, shit.

743
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:57,200
All right, sorry.

744
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,080
So that is the story of the Oakville blobs.

745
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,920
Sorry for anyone listening who has an aversion to come jokes.

746
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,160
This episode is going to be real hard to listen to.

747
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,360
Because there were a lot of them.

748
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,240
Yeah, we might need to put a disclaimer in the front.

749
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:11,240
That's fine.

750
00:36:11,240 --> 00:36:16,320
If they can get through Mel's holes, they can get through this one.

751
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,800
I think you don't like chlorine smells.

752
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:19,800
Avoid this episode.

753
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:20,800
All right.

754
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,800
Is there anything you want to plug, Sarge, before we sign off for the day?

755
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:25,800
Yes.

756
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,160
Sarge's Super Normal Coloring and Activity book.

757
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:34,440
If you go to sargesupernormal.com, it'll immediately take you to my page on Amazon where you can

758
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,240
purchase this book.

759
00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:41,080
And the money does does not go to me, really.

760
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:46,320
It pays the poor people that I put up that I put through untold amounts of abuse in creating

761
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:47,320
it.

762
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,960
But yeah, it's 999.

763
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:55,360
It's coloring book is like 50 something pages of shit to do.

764
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:56,360
It's like 96.

765
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:57,360
There's a lot of shit.

766
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:58,360
There's a big.

767
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:05,240
There's 96, but I think it's just because the other side of the page has nothing on

768
00:37:05,240 --> 00:37:07,520
it so it doesn't bleed through and ruin it.

769
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,240
I didn't realize it was.

770
00:37:11,240 --> 00:37:16,920
The cover art is done by my buddy Dan, who went through a lot of struggles and difficulties

771
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:17,920
in life.

772
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,440
And his artwork is what keeps him going.

773
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:25,500
And yeah, it should just be a little bit of fun, something to help you relax.

774
00:37:25,500 --> 00:37:27,120
And it's like the cost of a six pack.

775
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,800
So you should get it.

776
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,600

And listen to stories.

782
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,600
Let's do listen to stories.

788
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,920
If you don't hear it right away, it might just be that we got a bunch of good ones and

789
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:08,960
we'll read it.

790
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:14,480
If you don't hear it at all, maybe we're scared of your story or the government stepped in

791
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,640
and said, hey, you can't tell anyone about this.

792
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,800
Or if it's really bad, we'll just read it and make fun of you.

793
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:19,800
It's no big deal.

794
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:20,800
Yeah, we'll do that, too.
