00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:28,640
Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of Cryptic Cocktail Party Show where we have

2
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,560
a few drinks, share a few laughs, take a dive into the unknown.

3
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,920
I'm your host Dave, joined as always by my wonderful co-host Sarge.

4
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:35,920
How's it going Sarge?

5
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:36,920
Woo!

6
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:37,920
What's up?

7
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,880
Don't want anybody to panic.

8
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,360
I know I talked about going to church last Sunday.

9
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,120
I didn't do that today.

10
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,400
I'm not a church guy.

11
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,240
I just went because my dad was doing a thing and he loves church.

12
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,840
So well, thank God.

13
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:54,840
Yeah.

14
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,560
And the other voice you are hearing is our esteemed guest for this episode.

15
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,640
Long time listener, first time guest.

16
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,080
Our boy Bulk Detner aka Matthew.

17
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,080
What's going on man?

18
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,080
Oh, not much.

19
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,080
Living life.

20
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,080
Living life?

21
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,080
Looking good, glorious.

22
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,080
Glorious.

23
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,080
For sure.

24
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,160
I put on a new set of nails just for Sarge.

25
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,400
Nails on point, braided beard, just exceptional.

26
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,960
Oh, like a gender fluid Viking and I love it.

27
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:22,960
Yeah.

28
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:23,960
God damn.

29
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:30,480
I've been called the bye king before and I really like that title.

30
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:31,480
That's perfect.

31
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,800
That's like if that's like if Lord of the Rings was written in 2024.

32
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,960
Like fabulous nails, but can can inflict a blood eagle if needed.

33
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:39,960
Blood eagle.

34
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:40,960
Jesus Christ.

35
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:44,640
I found out that that might not even actually have happened like in the medieval times.

36
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,080
Did I learn that from you?

37
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:52,200
You probably didn't learn it from me, but I had also heard that in I don't care.

38
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,880
I wonder if it was one of those things that like never actually happened, but they're

39
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,760
just like, oh yeah, no, we totally do that.

40
00:01:58,760 --> 00:01:59,760
So don't fuck up.

41
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,200
Yeah, kind of like the brazen bowl where it was like something they talked they talked

42
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:08,280
about as like if you do this or Iron Maiden, the Iron Maiden is another one that turned

43
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,280
out to not be real.

44
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,400
I thought that's where I might have heard that from was when you on your other show

45
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,840
did the sorry for burping right into the microphone.

46
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:17,840
That's all right.

47
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,400
That's an award winning burp right there.

48
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,600
As we've said before, nothing burps like Narragansett.

49
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:28,360
Yeah, I thought I learned that when you did the the torture things on your other show.

50
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,440
I don't think so.

51
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:30,440
I don't think so.

52
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,560
But I wouldn't be surprised if if it wasn't real.

53
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,440
Like so many medieval things are just bullshit.

54
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,080
Yeah, I feel like also, you know how hard it would be to splay someone over from the

55
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,240
back and then pull their lungs out?

56
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,520
I mean, if anyone's going to do it, it's going to be the Vikings.

57
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,360
Like they just they're a very creative punch.

58
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,080
Yeah, and that's just like a friendly handshake for them.

59
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,200
You know what I mean?

60
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,760
The Vikings known for their creativity and brutality.

61
00:02:58,760 --> 00:02:59,760
This is our flag.

62
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:00,760
Oh, what is it?

63
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:01,760
Oh, that's Dave.

64
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,760
Yeah.

65
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,560
And my favorite part about them is that for the most part, they just hung out and they

66
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,240
just like lived and they were like, hey, we're getting low on riches.

67
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,520
Yeah, those spots have a lot of riches.

68
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:12,520
Let's go have them.

69
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:13,520
Yeah.

70
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,520
Yes.

71
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,240
You know, you know, you're running low on riches.

72
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,240
Yeah.

73
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,480
All right.

74
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:19,480
Let's go.

75
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,000
Let's go kick down the door of that place with the lowercase t.

76
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,200
They seem like they got a lot of shit.

77
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,160
All right, guys.

78
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,120
So I got an episode for you guys.

79
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,800
Are you are you ready to dive into this?

80
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:34,800
I think it's a good one.

81
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:35,800
Oh, yeah.

82
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:36,800
It's kind of I'm excited.

83
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,640
Yeah, it's kind of it's it's not something new that we've done, but it's a little different

84
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,880
than what we normally do as far as the show goes.

85
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,640
So oh, my fire alarm is going off and I

86
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,440
guess, oh, I guess so.

87
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,960
Long time listening to the show know that there's one cryptid that I vowed never to

88
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,260
cover on this show, and that is Bigfoot.

89
00:03:57,260 --> 00:04:00,680
And I got my reasons, mostly because I don't believe in Bigfoot and I think Sasquatch is

90
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:01,680
boring as hell.

91
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,860
Plus, there are like a million other podcasts that cover Bigfoot exclusively, and they do

92
00:04:05,860 --> 00:04:12,040
a much better job covering him than I ever would because they actually care about.

93
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,040
Yeah.

94
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,040
Yeah.

95
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,800
And so you're probably asking yourself, Dave, why are we just talking about how you'll never

96
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:18,800
cover Bigfoot?

97
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:25,080
Well, just because I think Bigfoot is lame doesn't mean that I don't think the subspecies

98
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,560
in different variations of Sasquatch are.

99
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,600
And we've actually covered a few of them like we did the mill race monster.

100
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,340
We did the Murphys burrow mud monster.

101
00:04:34,340 --> 00:04:38,840
And we did, to be fair, we did cover the Bigfoot war of like, what was it, 1855 or some shit

102
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:39,840
like that.

103
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:40,840
Yeah.

104
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:41,840
Yep.

105
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:42,840
Oh, that one was good.

106
00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:47,560
And this week, I figured we would continue the trend of actively avoiding talking about

107
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:53,840
Bigfoot proper and cover not one, but two Sasquatch variations from opposite sides of

108
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:54,840
the country.

109
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:57,840
You guys ready to dive in?

110
00:04:57,840 --> 00:04:58,840
Yes.

111
00:04:58,840 --> 00:04:59,840
Yeah.

112
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:00,840
I didn't even know there were subspecies.

113
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:01,840
I just think it was Sasquatch and Yeti.

114
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:02,840
No, no, no, no.

115
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:03,840
So.

116
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:05,840
No, there's so many squatches.

117
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:06,840
Yeah.

118
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:10,840
So for our first one, we're going to head to the great state of West Virginia.

119
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:13,600
We're going to West Virginia.

120
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:14,840
Does somebody need meth?

121
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:17,960
No, it's even better.

122
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:23,000
So West Virginia is home to some of the greats as far as like, like encrypted history.

123
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:29,200
You got Mothman, Flatwoods monster, grafted monster and one of today's subjects, Sheep

124
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,200
Squatch.

125
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,200
Sheep Squatch.

126
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,840
Are you guys familiar with the Sheep Squatch?

127
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:36,080
Yeah, I am not.

128
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:41,080
I am also not, but I'm mildly concerned.

129
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:46,640
The origin of Sheep Squatch, just given, you know, the world.

130
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,040
Yeah, I'm not liking where this is going.

131
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:58,240
This could have been this could have just been an unholy creation due to some, you know,

132
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:03,080
a lot of meth and the lack of women in abundance of sheep.

133
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,080
Gotcha.

134
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:10,360
And there's not a lot of cliffs for them to push them up to.

135
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,360
Excellent callback.

136
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,800
Excellent callback.

137
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,720
So so the Sheep Squatch, this thing rules like the name.

138
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,800
Well, it is on the second.

139
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,880
It's on the nose as far as like any name could be.

140
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,480
It doesn't really do it justice.

141
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,200
So this thing is fucking gnarly.

142
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,360
It's about the size of a bear ranging from seven to nine feet tall when standing.

143
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,240
The Sheep Squatch is covered in thick, woolly fur.

144
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,800
Its head is shaped kind of like a goat's head with massive sharp horns that curl around

145
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:38,800
its head.

146
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,840
Its eyes are often described as glowing red or orange, along with sharp predator like

147
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:46,440
teeth, often bared in an angered and snarling expression.

148
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,920
So it's basically Baphomet.

149
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:54,440
Yeah, but like white fluffy and ten feet tall.

150
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,440
It has massive tracks.

151
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:01,880
Yeah, it has massive and powerful human like arms ending in long clawed hands.

152
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,560
As for its feet, I can neither confirm them as being big, but some accounts describe them

153
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,200
as goat like with hooves, while other described them more ape like.

154
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,200
But to be fair, if I saw this motherfucker coming at me from the pucker brush, I'm not

155
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,200
looking at its feet.

156
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,680
So the fact that it's up in the air, whether or not he's has human feet or not, like I'm

157
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:19,680
OK with not knowing.

158
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:20,680
I get it.

159
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:21,680
Like this is not.

160
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,520
Wait, did you just say pucker brush?

161
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,200
Yeah, the fuck a pucker brush, Brad.

162
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:26,200
No, not pucker.

163
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,200
Puck.

164
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,200
Pucker brush.

165
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,200
I thought you were saying pucker brush.

166
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,560
No, like like like like.

167
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:32,560
Shout out.

168
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,560
Technically, it is pucker, but it's what?

169
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:36,560
What?

170
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:37,880
Where did you?

171
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:38,880
What is that?

172
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,320
Do you not know what pucker brush is?

173
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:41,320
No.

174
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,200
Why don't we just have you're not from New England, bro?

175
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,400
No, I'm 100 percent from here.

176
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,600
That's why I've never heard that, because it sounds like some main shit.

177
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:50,600
Google it.

178
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:51,600
Yeah.

179
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:52,600
Yeah.

180
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:53,600
You never you never ended up falling into the pocket brush.

181
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:54,600
Get all get all thorned up.

182
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,920
They get all banged up from the pucker brush, bud.

183
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,960
No, no, we just have.

184
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,880
It's basically the same thing.

185
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:02,880
It's just thorns.

186
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,560
Yeah, it's just like scrub brush that's on the side of the road.

187
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:07,560
I love that.

188
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:08,560
Did we just?

189
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:09,560
I don't know.

190
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:10,560
I'm a fucking pucker brush kid.

191
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,240
How do you not heard of that?

192
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,520
I don't know how you like Daba.

193
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,440
It's like, well, I grew up in a city.

194
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:24,920
I mean, the most contact I had with brush was like walking through an alley in Quincy Center

195
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,600
to get away from the police.

196
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,880
Oh, you're walking away from the police.

197
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:29,880
Sure.

198
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,480
We're moving on from Pucker Brush.

199
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,760
We're going to keep this going to get this ball rolling.

200
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,440
Oh, and I almost forgot this thing is also it's really smelly.

201
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:43,040
Like witnesses say that the sheep squash emits a strong musky stench, most often described

202
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,720
as sulfuric or like the smell of decaying meat.

203
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,120
So all around 10 out of 10 great creature.

204
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,280
You're not doing much to deter me from believing this is just Baphomet.

205
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,420
Yeah, it's kind of anyway.

206
00:08:55,420 --> 00:08:59,360
So the the sheep squash is mostly confined, like I said, to the state of West Virginia,

207
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,000
because of course it is.

208
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,840
It's just a nightmare state all around with the majority sightings taking place in Boone

209
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,520
County and the Coal River Valley.

210
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,100
And just like with any squash, there's a bunch of sightings.

211
00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:15,080
But for the sake of time and not wanting to skimp on any details, I found two of my favorite

212
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,880
sightings and now I will share them with you.

213
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:24,520
So the first one I got for you happened in 1994 when a group of friends decided to go

214
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,400
on a little camping trip in a remote area of Boone County.

215
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,160
It was late at night and the group was gathered around the fire when they heard a strange

216
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,200
sound coming from the dense woods that surrounded them.

217
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:40,640
They said it sounded like a mix of heavy breathing and low growling, much like Philip Seymour

218
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:41,640
Hoffman in the movie Happiness.

219
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,720
I don't know if you've ever seen that movie, but if you get the reference, you'll understand.

220
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,400
Well, you also just described my sex noises.

221
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:56,120
Which also describes Philip Seymour Hoffman in the movie Happiness.

222
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,320
At first they assumed it was probably just a bear or something and they just went about

223
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,920
their night, slugging back keystone lights while Wild Night by John Kruger Mellencamp

224
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,400
played on a boombox nearby.

225
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,800
Allegedly, I don't know if those are the actual details.

226
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:08,800
No, it tracks.

227
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:09,800
Yeah, it's 1994.

228
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,440
What else would they be doing?

229
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,800
But the noises grew closer and they started to get the feeling they were being watched.

230
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,800
One of the campers shine their flashlight into the woods and there it was.

231
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:21,800
Sheep squad.

232
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:22,800
Now she's squad.

233
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:23,800
She's squad.

234
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,600
I can't not say it like that.

235
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:30,800
Now standing at the edge of the tree, they saw this massive eight foot tall horned monster,

236
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,800
its eyes glowing red from the shine of the light, snarling at the campers, revealing

237
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,880
its rows of sharp animalistic teeth.

238
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,740
Now the creature then started moving towards the camp, emitting a guttural growl that sent

239
00:10:41,740 --> 00:10:44,800
the campers into just absolute panic.

240
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:45,800
Roar.

241
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,800
They were like, let's get that.

242
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:53,400
They collectively decided, well, I think it's time to be heading out and abandoned the camp

243
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,480
as fast as they fucking could.

244
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,200
Luckily, they were able to get to their cars and skedaddle right on out of there.

245
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:04,880
But when they returned the next day to allegedly retrieve their boombox and camping gear, they

246
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,240
found that their tents were shredded.

247
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,920
Their food supplies were scattered around the camp with giant visible claw marks on

248
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,720
the cooler lids and large hoof like prints surrounding the area.

249
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,160
And the meth still was completely gone.

250
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,400
Oh, the meth's always gone.

251
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,400
It's always gone.

252
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:22,920
You can never have enough meth.

253
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:28,760
So now the next sheep squash story I have for you isn't like the best story, but I like

254
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,120
it for reasons I can't really put into words why.

255
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,220
I think it's the tension that happens within the story, but we can figure it out after.

256
00:11:35,220 --> 00:11:37,320
So this one is more recent.

257
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,200
It took place in 2015.

258
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,680
Four hunters were camping in an isolation check.

259
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:49,360
Four campers were camping in an isolated section of forest, also in Boone County.

260
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,200
Around midnight, they hear some rustling in the underbrush or the pucker brush.

261
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:58,380
And just like in the other story, they chalked it up to just being a raccoon or a deer, two

262
00:11:58,380 --> 00:12:00,640
wildly different animals.

263
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:06,400
But the noises grew louder and they were soon accompanied by a bizarre high pitched bleeding

264
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,240
that none of them could identify.

265
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,000
There we go.

266
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,200
Remember the curious bunch?

267
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,280
They shown a spotlight into the woods and there it was.

268
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,280
Sheep Squatch.

269
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:25,600
A hulking goat headed monster with thick white fur and massive clawed hands advancing towards

270
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,080
the campsite with surprising speed.

271
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,440
Just fucking gunning for them.

272
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,880
So this thing's hauling ass.

273
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,600
The hunters only have like maybe a minute to react.

274
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,000
So they're scrambling for their rifles and this thing is just closing in on them.

275
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,080
The Sheep Squatch lets out an ear piercing scream and gets within 20 feet of them when

276
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,680
one of the men was able to get a shot off into the air.

277
00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:48,080
But the creature didn't flinch.

278
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:53,280
Instead, it just kind of like stopped abruptly, sniffed the air, let out a deep growl and

279
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,440
then just fucked off back into the darkness.

280
00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:01,880
So yeah, the hunters checked the area the next morning and found claw marks on nearby

281
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,520
trees as well as strange tracks resembling a mix of hoof prints and clawed feet.

282
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,200
They also reported the sightings to local cryptid investigators.

283
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,040
And it turns out like this is one of the only like only a few instances where the creature

284
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,040
was said to charge directly at humans.

285
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,160
So that's like reassuring, I guess.

286
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:25,720
Like I still don't want this thing coming at me.

287
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:31,560
Just like the fucking the amount of sheer panic that these dudes must have been feeling.

288
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:37,640
I lost my shit, nine foot tall fucking goat monsters screaming down through the woods

289
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:38,640
at you like, fuck.

290
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:39,640
God.

291
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,240
But anyways, there you have it.

292
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,240
Sheep Squatch.

293
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,440
How are we feeling about Sheep Squatch?

294
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:46,440
I love it.

295
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,440
It's terrifying.

296
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,440
It's not ideal.

297
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:49,440
I want one though.

298
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:50,440
I want one here.

299
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:51,440
I was.

300
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:56,520
What gets me though is the noises it makes seem like very sheep like.

301
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:57,840
They're like, oh, cute.

302
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,480
And then when you see it, it's like, oh, to be fair.

303
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,280
The noises we heard were from Sarge.

304
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:10,520
The noises that were described in the story are a little more terrifying than.

305
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,680
I assumed it was a pretty accurate recreation.

306
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:21,120
Yeah, it's something like that.

307
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:26,320
But I told my wife about the two that we were covering today.

308
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,680
She said, which one I think is the best one.

309
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,760
I said, well, if you're going to make a plushie out of either of these, I think Sheep Squatch

310
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:34,760
would make the best plushie.

311
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,760
Yeah, I want a Sheep Squatch.

312
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:38,760
Yeah.

313
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:39,760
But all right.

314
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:45,080
So now we're going to go ahead and we're going to shift gears moving on.

315
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,720
Now we're going to be headed to the Pacific Northwest, home of the OG Squatch.

316
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:55,520
Now if you thought the Sheep Squatch was an abomination of God, this next one is way worse.

317
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,080
Oh my God.

318
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,240
They make a Sheep Squash plushie.

319
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,320
Sheep Squatch plushie.

320
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:02,320
All right.

321
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,040
I'm assuming they do, but we're moving on.

322
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,040
Sorry.

323
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,040
Sheep Squatch is done.

324
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,040
Pay attention.

325
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,040
Look at me.

326
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,040
Look at me.

327
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,040
Look at me.

328
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,040
I need it.

329
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,040
But I need it.

330
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,040
Eyes.

331
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,040
Eyes here.

332
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,040
Sorry, guys.

333
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,640
So now we're going to be talking about Bat Squatch.

334
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,440
You guys familiar with Bat Squatch?

335
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:22,440
Oh my God.

336
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:23,440
It fucking flies.

337
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,440
This sounds amazing.

338
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,320
Now, again, the name doesn't do it justice.

339
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,560
Like the Bat Squatch sounds like if Sasquatch watched his parents get done, like gunned

340
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,000
down outside of a theater as a kid.

341
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,800
And now he's like excited to be.

342
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,640
But I assure you, it is not that.

343
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,060
And I fucking hate this thing.

344
00:15:42,060 --> 00:15:47,920
So standing between seven and nine feet tall, this thing is built like a brick shithouse.

345
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,200
It is jacked as fuck.

346
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,360
Just like an absolute unit, dude.

347
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:56,540
Its head and face resembled that of a bat with a flattened snout, sharp teeth and glowing

348
00:15:56,540 --> 00:15:59,000
eyes that are said to pierce through the darkness.

349
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:04,140
Its coarse and matted fur is described as being bluish, purple, almost black in color.

350
00:16:04,140 --> 00:16:08,880
Its hands are massive with sharp claws and its feet are talon like, which he uses to

351
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:14,920
grip its prey when he's flying around on his massive leathery bat wings that have a wingspan

352
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,720
of up to 50 feet.

353
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:21,640
So yeah, this thing is a fucking nightmare.

354
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:22,640
Come on.

355
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,880
I hate it, but I also love it so much.

356
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,440
It sounds perfect for like a heavy metal album.

357
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:29,560
Yeah, right.

358
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,880
So just like with Sheep Squash, I've had a bunch of stories, but I found the best two

359
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:33,960
that I liked.

360
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,660
But before we begin, I think it's important to note that almost all the bat squatch sightings

361
00:16:38,660 --> 00:16:46,120
that have come out, they all take place near Mount St. Helens, specifically after its eruption

362
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,480
in May of 1980.

363
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,680
People started reporting sightings of the beast not too long after that happened.

364
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:57,800
Now the eruption of Mount St. Helens drastically altered the landscape in the area.

365
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,760
When this thing popped off, the entire north face of the mountain slid away, causing the

366
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,280
largest landslide ever recorded.

367
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,560
And not in human history, but in the history of the fucking earth.

368
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:14,540
The landslide traveled at speeds of up to 150 miles an hour, covering 24 square miles

369
00:17:14,540 --> 00:17:19,880
in debris, with some parts of it being close to 600 feet deep when it was all settled.

370
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:20,880
Fuck.

371
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:27,760
So I'm not only telling you this because some cryptid enthusiasts believe that the reason

372
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,080
bat squatch was seen so frequently in the area after the eruption was because this may

373
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:36,880
have opened up a cavern or some sort of lair where the bat squatch lived, forcing it to

374
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,800
come out into the open.

375
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:44,240
Or on the other hand, his home was destroyed due to the event and he's now displaced.

376
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,240
Either or, they both sound like reasonable explanations to me.

377
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,240
So yeah, totally reasonable.

378
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,160
Either way, bat squatch is pissed.

379
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:51,280
It was a portal.

380
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,280
He's not stoked.

381
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:58,160
So, all right, so that out of the way, let's dive into some stories, shall we?

382
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,480
All right, so this sighting occurred in April of 1994.

383
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:08,200
A pilot whose name I do not know was flying a small private aircraft around Mount St.

384
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,200
Helens.

385
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,160
It was a relatively clear day, nice day, dude just taking in the views when he notices something

386
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,300
outside his plane flying at a high altitude.

387
00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:21,360
He described what he saw as a massive creature that was dark in color and having an estimated

388
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:23,800
wingspan of between 30 and 50 feet.

389
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,800
It had a bat-like head with pointed ears and sharp features and his body was more primate

390
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:29,960
than bird.

391
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,840
The pilot noted that the creature appeared to be gliding effortlessly through the sky,

392
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,640
maintaining a steady pace.

393
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,020
Every once in a while, it would flap its wings and it would propel it forward in a way that

394
00:18:40,020 --> 00:18:42,440
seemed deliberate and controlled.

395
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,920
At one point during the sighting, the bat-squatch allegedly flew close enough to the plane that

396
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:52,160
the pilot could observe its details more clearly and then the creature banked sharply and disappeared

397
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,780
in some clouds heading towards the slopes of the volcano.

398
00:18:55,780 --> 00:19:01,280
The pilot was obviously shocked and like unsure, like what did I just see?

399
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:06,320
He eventually, or they eventually told their story to a few colleagues, encrypted researchers

400
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,820
describing it as unlike anything they had encountered in their flying career.

401
00:19:10,820 --> 00:19:15,360
The sighting was never officially reported to any aviation authorities, probably out

402
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:16,760
of fear of ridicule or professionalism.

403
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,560
Kind of a hard story to tell people.

404
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:23,240
Yeah, I mean, the FAA will probably be like, all right, bud, so let's-

405
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,240
All right, we're drug testing everybody.

406
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,720
Can you describe this for me again?

407
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,840
Yes, have you seen the Wizard of Oz?

408
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:39,040
Yeah, it's like if the flying monkeys are on steroids, it's not ideal.

409
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,560
This license would have been taken away almost immediately.

410
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:42,560
Immediately.

411
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:43,560
Oh, definitely.

412
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:44,560
Without question.

413
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,560
Especially in 1994, they're like, all right, bud, that's-

414
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,760
All right, settle down.

415
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:50,760
Settle down.

416
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:56,480
Now, for our next sighting, this one is a bit unusual because it takes place 430 miles

417
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,680
away from the bat-squatch's normal haunting grounds of Mount St. Helens.

418
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,760
This sighting took place near Mount Shasta in California.

419
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,120
The story goes that in 2011, a group of hikers were exploring the lower elevations of the

420
00:20:08,120 --> 00:20:09,120
mountains.

421
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:16,280
Oh, and apparently these guys were super experienced outdoors people, so this story kind of has

422
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,680
some credibility to it.

423
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,720
They were familiar with the local wildlife, the terrain.

424
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:27,560
Anyway, the group was near a wooded trail when they noticed that the surrounding forest

425
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:32,560
got suddenly and unusually quiet as if a predator was lurking nearby.

426
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,880
The hikers then described seeing a massive winged humanoid emerge from out of the tree

427
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:37,880
line.

428
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,440
The creature was said to be over seven feet tall with a muscular build similar to an ape

429
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:42,920
or a large primate.

430
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,720
It had leathery bat-like wings that stretched to an estimated 15 to 20 feet.

431
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,240
So it's like a little smaller of a bat-squatch than the other one.

432
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,720
The other one was like nine feet tall, maybe it was like a juvenile, teen.

433
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:53,720
Yeah, teenage.

434
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,640
Yeah, a baby, a baby-squatch.

435
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:57,640
Its body was covered in-

436
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:58,640
Hours of teenage.

437
00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:59,640
I couldn't help it.

438
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,640
It came to my head right away.

439
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,120
I'm just a teenage cryptid baby.

440
00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:11,040
Its body was covered in dark bluish fur and its face was described as a mix of bat and

441
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,760
wolf-like features, which is actually pretty common for the bat-squatch sightings.

442
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:19,160
I didn't mention that, but I mean, either way, it's a nightmare.

443
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,160
There's a lot going on.

444
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:21,160
I understand.

445
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,160
Yeah.

446
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,360
It also had yellow glowing eyes.

447
00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:28,440
The bat-squatch reportedly perched briefly on a large rock, folding its wings as it just

448
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,440
stared at the hikers.

449
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:36,400
After what could only be described as a tense standoff, the creature let out a deep guttural

450
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:41,160
growl that echoed through the forest and then spread its wings and launched itself into

451
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,160
the air with a powerful leap disappearing over the trees.

452
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:49,000
Now the hikers, full of shock and fear and void of anything left in their bladder and

453
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,920
bowels got the hell out of there and back to their campsite to process what they had

454
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:53,920
just seen.

455
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,000
Some of them later shared their experiences online, sparking discussion and discourse

456
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,960
between a bunch of nerds.

457
00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:05,220
They were definitely certain it wasn't a bird or known animal.

458
00:22:05,220 --> 00:22:10,440
They admitted to feeling uneasy about the encounter describing the creature as something

459
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,600
quote, not of this world.

460
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:18,560
So this sighting got a bunch of people wondering why the bat-squatch would be this far south.

461
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:23,200
Again, normally it's up by Mount St. Helens.

462
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,460
It's possible that the bat-squatch territory extends beyond the Pacific Northwest, perhaps

463
00:22:27,460 --> 00:22:34,040
covering the entire Cascade Range, which includes both Mount St. Helens and Mount Shasta.

464
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,040
Or perhaps it's migrating or searching for resources to survive, who knows?

465
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,920
Maybe it gets cold in Oregon or wherever, fuck so, Washington.

466
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,040
So yeah, could be just trying to get a little warm.

467
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:52,000
When you're nine feet tall, maybe you just need better access to street tacos.

468
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,200
But there you have it guys.

469
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,200
Yeah, that follows.

470
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,160
Yeah, a little two for one special for you guys.

471
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,160
So that's the end of the stories.

472
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:04,000
We've got a little bit more we can do after this, but I just want to know, I want to get

473
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,000
your thoughts.

474
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Matt, let's start with you.

475
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,880
How you feeling about sheep-squatch, bat-squatch, questions, concerns, comments?

476
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,480
I mean, sheep-squatch, all right.

477
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,920
Bat-squatch, badass.

478
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:22,320
That just seems like it should be like a cheesy tattoo on your back, just like spread wings.

479
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,280
They're like the best 90s metal.

480
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,200
I saw a bat-squatch bat 94 up to St. Helens.

481
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,200
I mean, they opened for Slayer.

482
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:37,560
I feel like now that has to be a merch where it's like a bat-squatch band t-shirt.

483
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:38,560
It's like on the back.

484
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:45,720
It's like the tour dates and it's all just Mount St. Helens every day.

485
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,760
And then the last date is just Mount Shasta.

486
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,840
Yeah, I fuck with that.

487
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:53,840
Sarge, how you feeling?

488
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,060
What are you thinking?

489
00:23:55,060 --> 00:24:02,240
I feel like sheep-squatch is like if like your high school mascot was a ram and like

490
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,680
one of the kids just wanted to make it look cool.

491
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,680
So we drew sheep-squatch.

492
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:08,680
You know what I mean?

493
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,680
Like the back of a math book.

494
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:11,920
Yeah, exactly.

495
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,320
Like that thank you for voting sticker that the kid in like Wisconsin made or whatever

496
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,360
was just a jacked werewolf ripping its shirt off.

497
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:20,360
Exactly.

498
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:21,360
Exactly.

499
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:22,360
Yeah.

500
00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:23,360
You didn't see that?

501
00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:25,160
It was like Wisconsin or Michigan or something like that.

502
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:33,040
They had like a contest and like middle schoolers or whatever got to draw the I voted stickers

503
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,280
for the state.

504
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,920
And the one that won was just this jacked werewolf ripping his shirt off that says I

505
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:39,920
voted.

506
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:40,920
Amazing.

507
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:41,920
Amazing.

508
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,480
I think that's highly appropriate.

509
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,560
That's celebrating, you know, this freedom.

510
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,760
Nothing says freedom like a jacked werewolf.

511
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,560
Geez, I just got like a nice little moose one.

512
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,360
All right.

513
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:57,560
I'm getting robbed.

514
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,040
We don't have anything cool like that.

515
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,040
Yeah, I didn't get anything cool like that either.

516
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:07,880
Mine just mine just said I voted but in Spanish.

517
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:14,200
So I did a little something fun for the end of this episode.

518
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:21,840
So I took the weights, the characteristics, everything I could find out about bat squash

519
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,600
and sheep squash.

520
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,000
And I fed it into an AI algorithm.

521
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Oh, yeah.

522
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:33,320
To find out who would win in a fight between sheep squash and bat squash.

523
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,200
And I had to do I had to break it down scene by scene.

524
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,160
So are you ready?

525
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:39,720
Can we can we place bets?

526
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,000
Can we call who's going to win?

527
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,360
I would say my money's on bat squash, dude.

528
00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:44,360
Yeah.

529
00:25:44,360 --> 00:25:45,360
All right.

530
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:46,360
The wings alone.

531
00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:47,560
I mean, 50 feet, just one boom.

532
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,080
There goes sheep squash off the cliff.

533
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,160
That and also bat squash can fly.

534
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,080
So it would easily be able to like get up and fly away.

535
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,680
So sheep squash is really at a disadvantage here.

536
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:58,680
That's true.

537
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,440
But also, I mean, if you think back to like a celebrity death match, whenever they do the

538
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,240
matchups, you're like, oh, that person is definitely going to win.

539
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,240
There's usually a huge upset.

540
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,240
You know what I mean?

541
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,240
Like, so you never know.

542
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,480
I mean, I know who wins, but it's whatever.

543
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,480
All right.

544
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:12,480
Yeah.

545
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:13,480
I mean, I'm going to bet my money on.

546
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:14,480
I can't.

547
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:15,480
Yeah.

548
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:16,480
Right.

549
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:17,480
Well, he knows who wins.

550
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:18,480
So all right.

551
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:23,520
So round one, the encounter, this the setting, a remote forest clearing near the Appalachian

552
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,760
Mountains at dusk.

553
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,800
The sheep squash emerges from the shadows.

554
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:31,440
It's thick, matted first streaked with mud, wreaking of decay from above.

555
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:36,020
A guttural screech signals the arrival of bat squash wings beating heavily as it descends

556
00:26:36,020 --> 00:26:37,660
to the forest floor.

557
00:26:37,660 --> 00:26:41,840
The two creatures, the two creatures circle one another.

558
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:51,160
Bat Squatch hissing and flaring its wings while she squatch bellows a deafening roar.

559
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,280
With its aerial capabilities, Bat Squatch launches the first attack, swooping down with

560
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,700
razor sharp claws aimed at sheep squash thick neck.

561
00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:02,680
The claws rake across the fur, but fail to penetrate deeply due to she squatches dense

562
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:03,680
coat.

563
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,680
Shaking my sex tape, shaking off the blow, she squatch charges forward.

564
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,120
It's powerful horns aimed at bat squatches midsection.

565
00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:15,520
The impact sends the flying beast tumbling into the dirt momentarily stunned.

566
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,540
Recovering quickly, bat squash uses its muscular arms to grapple with sheep squash, relying

567
00:27:19,540 --> 00:27:21,540
on its strength and sharp claws.

568
00:27:21,540 --> 00:27:25,920
It goes for sheep squatches vulnerable underbelly, slashing at exposed skin.

569
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:30,280
Roaring in fury, sheep squash bites down with its powerful jaws, sinking its teeth into bat

570
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:31,460
squatches arms.

571
00:27:31,460 --> 00:27:34,640
The bite is brutal, but fails to incapacitate the wing cryptid.

572
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,680
The bat squash takes flight, wrenching itself free from sheep squatches bite.

573
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,240
The circles overhead, looking for an opening, with its immense wingspan it dives at full

574
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,760
speed slamming into sheep squash and knocking it off balance.

575
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,560
Sheep Squatch rises quickly, seemingly unfazed by the aerial assault.

576
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:57,880
Using its brute strength, it uproots a tree and hurls it up bat squash, clipping one wing

577
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,320
and forcing it to land.

578
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,400
Despite its injured wing, bat squash uses its agility and strength to dart behind sheep

579
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,800
squash, delivering a series of slashes to the back of its legs, causing it to stumble.

580
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:15,520
With a screech, bat squash clamps its powerful jaws around sheep squatch's throat, choking

581
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:16,760
off its roar.

582
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,680
Thrashing wildly, sheep squash uses its horns to gore bat squash's side, but the damage

583
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:21,680
isn't enough.

584
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:27,360
Slowly, sheep squatch's movement weaken as bat squash tightens its grip.

585
00:28:27,360 --> 00:28:29,760
The winner is bat squash.

586
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,200
Bat Squatch is common in the material prowess.

587
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,040
Predatory agility and sharp claws secure its victory, while sheep squatch's brute strength

588
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,200
and stamina make it a formidable foe.

589
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:45,200
Its lack of speed and adaptability ultimately leave it vulnerable to bat squash's relentless

590
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:46,200
assault.

591
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,200
So you guys were right.

592
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,000
It's also got crippling methodiction too, so that'll slow it down.

593
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,800
Yeah, so bat squash is the winner there.

594
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,560
All right, that's all I got for you guys.

595
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:57,560
That was it.

596
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:58,880
That was enough.

597
00:28:58,880 --> 00:28:59,880
That was enough.

598
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:00,880
I needed that.

599
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:01,880
That was intense.

600
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,200
I would make a good internet short film.

601
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,200
Right?

602
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,280
Or a decent comic or something.

603
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:08,280
Oh, definitely.

604
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:09,280
Like, Cryptid Battles?

605
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,280
Yeah, something.

606
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,280
Yeah.

607
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,280
Do you ever back on Newgrounds?

608
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:17,240
They used to have Master Chief versus Superman and all those little weird animations.

609
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,880
I feel a lot like that.

610
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,080
Yeah, it would make a good Flash animation, something like that.

611
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,200
Oh, definitely.

612
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,360
The ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny.

613
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,080
All right, well, that's the episode.

614
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,080
Thank you so much for listening, everyone.

615
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,080
Thank you to Matt for coming on.

616
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,920
Thank you to Sarge for always being here.

617
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,040
Before we go, Sarge, do you have anything you want to plug into the audience?

618
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,000
Yeah, get the coloring book.

619
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:47,640
The horrible crisis of all of our existence in the United States has been prolonged.

620
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,200
So the coloring book is just going to stay up.

621
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,760
Sarge's supernormal.com, spelled like it sounds.

622
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,680
You can get my coloring book on Amazon.

623
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:57,680
It's $9.99.

624
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:06,520
You can use it to lighten the mood or to burn and possibly make hot dogs.

625
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:07,520
I don't know.

626
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:12,200
Well, hey, you could put the pages in the top of a bottle and make a maltov and maltov

627
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:13,200
cocktail.

628
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:14,200
Yeah.

629
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,240
Deliver it to a CEO's house.

630
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,000
Yeah, that's an idea.

631
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,000
Yeah.

632
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,600
Probably shouldn't put that on the Internet.

633
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,560
We can don't that.

634
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,800
I, you know, based on based on the direction the Internet's headed, I think they're kind

635
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:28,800
of down for that idea.

636
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,160
Yeah, no, I mean, I'm fine with it.

637
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:36,440
I'm a big fan of all of the like really popular online detectives when the news reaches out

638
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:37,440
to them.

639
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:38,440
So what are you guys doing to find this guy?

640
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,600
And they're like, I'm not doing it.

641
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,120
He's got a beautiful smile and he's very charismatic.

642
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,120
So no, we're not going to find him.

643
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,120
I'm not narking on John Wick.

644
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,120
Yeah, right.

645
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:53,680
Dude, as soon as that dude went into Central Central Park, the cops are just like, I will

646
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:54,680
never find him.

647
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:55,680
Yeah, he's fine.

648
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,680
You know how big Central Park is?

649
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,160
Can't be just walking around all.

650
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,160
That's why you picked him up and flew him out.

651
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,160
Yeah.

652
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:05,160
All right.

653
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:11,120
Matthew, is there anything you want to plug or bring awareness to or?

654
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,920
I mean, you can find me on Instagram at bulk detonator.

655
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,160
I want to give a shout out to Pat.

656
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,000
His burgers are the damn best.

657
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,800
You can find him at Patch Burger.

658
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:22,800
Hell yeah.

659
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:28,380
And then one of my best friends, she's there, a musician, an artist and everything.

660
00:31:28,380 --> 00:31:30,120
You can find them at Lucia.

661
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,440
That's L-U-C-I-A dot arts and music.

662
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,220
And that's on Instagram.

663
00:31:35,220 --> 00:31:36,320
Check out her album.

664
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:37,320
There are everything.

665
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:38,320
It's fantastic.

666
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:39,320
Hell yeah.

667
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,280
And I'll be sure to put a link to all those.

668
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:42,280
I don't.

669
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:43,880
Yeah, I don't sell anything.

670
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,720
I'm just you just blow shit up, which is awesome, too.

671
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:48,720
Yeah.

672
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:49,720
Yeah.

673
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:50,720
Like this is this.

674
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:51,720
It's just me.

675
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:52,720
That's what my page is.

676
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,680
And just the various things that happened in my life, the various things you explode

677
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:57,680
for fun.

678
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:58,680
Yeah.

679
00:31:58,680 --> 00:31:59,680
Yeah.

680
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:00,680
Sometimes explosions.

681
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:01,680
Sometimes it's nails.

682
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:02,680
Sometimes it's cats.

683
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:03,680
All things that are.

684
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:04,680
But you don't blow up cats.

685
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,160
Let's we want to be clear about that.

686
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,000
No cats were hurt.

687
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,880
We're hurt in the filming of the explosions.

688
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,680
No, the cats just hurt me.

689
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,840
Emotionally and physically, because they could be fucking straight up assholes.

690
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:17,840
They are bastards.

691
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:18,840
Oh, yeah.

692
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:19,840
All right.

You know, fucking tell them to listen.

701
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:39,280
That's just forcing.

702
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:40,280
No.

703
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:41,280
Yeah.

704
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:42,760
I'm forcing everybody to listen to this episode.

705
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:47,120
And also drink Narragansett beer because it's better than anything else that's out there

706
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,280
and in the form of domestic beer.

707
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:50,280
That's fair.

708
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,280
Bro.

709
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:52,480
Bro, come on.

710
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,760
No one's in Amesbury.

711
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,800
Let's be honest.

712
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:57,800
All right.

713
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,800
There's come on.

714
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,400
There's dozens of us.

715
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:10,480
I was going to say, if you're in Eastern New York, as someone who grew up not too far from

716
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,480
Amesbury, there's not much there.

717
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,000
Except for Matt.

718
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,000
I'm here.

719
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,000
Come hang out with me.

720
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,000
That's how it matters.

721
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,000
Exactly.

722
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,000
All right.

723
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,000
Thanks for listening.

724
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,440
And with that out of the way, usually Sarge says goodbye and I love you to the audience.

725
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,480
But Matthew, I think it's I think you should say goodbye and I love you to the audience.

726
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:28,480
Sure.

727
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:29,480
Goodbye.

728
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:30,480
I love you.

729
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:42,480
Take care of yourself.
