1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:25,560
Hey, everybody.

2
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,240
Welcome back to another episode of Crypto Cocktail Party, a show where we have a few

3
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,040
drinks, share a few laughs, take a dive into the unknown.

4
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:35,640
I'm your host, Dave, joined as always by my handsome as hell co-host, Sarge.

5
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:36,640
How's it going, buddy?

6
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:37,640
Hey there.

7
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:38,640
Woo.

8
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:39,640
Let's do this.

9
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,640
I'm surprised you had a woo in you.

10
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:42,640
I know you're not feeling well.

11
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,480
I did have a woo in me.

12
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:45,480
That's all right.

13
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:49,680
I'm going to I'm energized by cryptids inside me.

14
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,960
Well, that's unfortunate because this is not about cryptids.

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:52,960
Actually, maybe it is.

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,120
I don't want to spoil it.

17
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,120
We'll get into it.

18
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,800
But anyways, how are you doing, bud?

19
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:57,800
Not too bad.

20
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:03,080
Just enjoying the lovely weather in New England and grateful that planes aren't falling in

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,240
my neighborhood as they were in yours.

22
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:06,240
Bro, I.

23
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,440
That video was wild.

24
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,400
Yeah, all the videos are wild.

25
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,680
Also, it's a super tragic story.

26
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,720
I don't know if you heard like the actual horrible.

27
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:15,720
It's absolutely horrible.

28
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,920
Like, I'm not I'm not trying to like shit on it.

29
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:18,920
No, no.

30
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:19,920
Watch the video.

31
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,320
But it's in the plane fell out of the sky.

32
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:23,580
And that's what blew my mind.

33
00:01:23,580 --> 00:01:25,840
It's wild because like so I was driving.

34
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:31,120
It happened to probably like five minutes before I got onto the highway, because as

35
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:37,280
I was going down 95 south to head home, 95 north was just all emergency vehicles like

36
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,680
they were fucking gunning down.

37
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,440
And I was like, what the fuck is going on here?

38
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,880
And I get home whenever I see something like that.

39
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,480
When I parked my car, I'll Google like Philadelphia breaking news just to see what's going on.

40
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:54,000
I was I was not expecting a fucking plane to crash on Roosevelt Boulevard like that

41
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,000
is bananas.

42
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,640
Yeah, it's so wild.

43
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,040
It's such a rare occurrence for a plane to just like lawn dart into somebody's neighborhood.

44
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,840
That's fucking awful.

45
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,920
And it's even worse because it was like a bunch of kids.

46
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:06,920
Right.

47
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,340
So it was a the it was a medical transport.

48
00:02:10,340 --> 00:02:17,560
It was a child from Mexico flew to Shriners to get like surgery, like some sort of operation

49
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:18,560
or something done.

50
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,560
Oh, got it.

51
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:20,560
Got it.

52
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:21,560
OK.

53
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,600
And it was like the kid and the family members like the mom and stuff like that flying back.

54
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,720
Oh, to Mexico after getting treatment and they fucking crash.

55
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,800
But the worst part about it, I mean, that's pretty fucking fucked up, is that literally

56
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,920
within hours, I went on Twitter for some fucking reason.

57
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:40,320
I don't know why I need to stop doing it.

58
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:41,320
Already conspiracy theories.

59
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,680
And it's like, of course, of course, flash in the sky.

60
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,400
What is what that explosion doesn't look like.

61
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,920
How a plane explodes like what the dude you don't fucking know.

62
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:50,920
Like get out of here.

63
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:53,080
Like how often do you see planes explode?

64
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,080
You fucking idiots.

65
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,680
So someone was like, why is there no debris?

66
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,960
And then they sound like it took five minutes, five seconds for me to find a picture of debris.

67
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,600
They're like, well, why is there no soot on it?

68
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,540
And they're like, well, because fuel when it burns doesn't create soot.

69
00:03:06,540 --> 00:03:08,320
That's not how you know.

70
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,200
And also it was falling from the sky like.

71
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,200
Yeah.

72
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:17,040
And it exploded fast enough probably that it jettisoned quite a bit of that debris before

73
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,040
it all caught fire.

74
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,040
Yeah.

75
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,160
Also, I hate like I love conspiracies, but these ones are not fun and everyone needs

76
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,760
to fucking just take a minute and think critical thinking skills are not people.

77
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,200
Yeah, it's all dumb, but I will say it's a bad time to be flying because I guess this

78
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,760
is like within the past month, this is like the fourth or fifth plane crash, like a fucking

79
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:41,000
F16 fell out of the sky in Alaska or some shit like that.

80
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,280
Yeah, it's really bad.

81
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,280
Really bad timing right now.

82
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,240
It's only going to get better.

83
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:51,060
And yeah, and yeah, I'm not even going to touch on the political implications.

84
00:03:51,060 --> 00:03:55,160
It's just fucking awful that so many of these horrible accidents have happened.

85
00:03:55,160 --> 00:04:01,680
And my you know, my first concern was like, oh shit, did this land on Dave?

86
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,720
No, it was in northeast Philly.

87
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,480
I reached out to you so quickly.

88
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,000
Yeah, no, luckily I wasn't anywhere near it.

89
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,640
I just would do it was sirens all night.

90
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:13,640
Like it was wild.

91
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:14,640
Oh yeah.

92
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:15,640
Oh yeah.

93
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:16,640
No doubt.

94
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,180
Like that doesn't happen in Philly.

95
00:04:18,180 --> 00:04:21,640
The worst we get is people climbing up greased poles and then falling and dying.

96
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,280
Like that's what happens in Philly.

97
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:24,280
You know what I mean?

98
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:27,280
I mean, I worry because there's an airport right near my house and there's little there's

99
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:30,600
small planes that are always flying overhead.

100
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,800
And then there's Gillette Stadium not too far from me.

101
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:39,680
So there's always helicopters go into the stadium because Bob Kraft doesn't drive apparently.

102
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,120
First of all, if I was Bob Kraft, I wouldn't either.

103
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,680
Like if I was Bob, no, I wouldn't either.

104
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,160
The traffic on 95 is a disaster across the nation.

105
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,580
So across the East Coast.

106
00:04:53,580 --> 00:04:56,320
So I don't blame him, but his helicopter always flies over my house.

107
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:01,040
And I'm always like, Jesus Christ, those things, they literally just fall out of the sky.

108
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,880
So I don't want that to happen in my backyard.

109
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,040
I've seen black Hawk down.

110
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:10,120
It just happens sometimes.

111
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:15,960
Well I believe Rockets were involved in that situation, but whatever.

112
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,080
On a lighter note, I went to the eye doctor.

113
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:23,800
This is real quick for the first, I was the eye doctor for the first time in like 20 years

114
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,440
and nice.

115
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:27,440
Everything was going good.

116
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:32,260
And they did the thing like the one or two, three or four, like that whole thing.

117
00:05:32,260 --> 00:05:38,180
And at the end of it, she goes, you are like right on the cusp of not being allowed to

118
00:05:38,180 --> 00:05:41,720
drive legally without glasses.

119
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:51,000
So once Mike, within a few weeks, you'll, you'll have a new, a new Dave look, which

120
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,160
will be glasses and a nice, yeah, it'll be, it'll be, you know, just a fresh new look

121
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,520
but the same great taste Dave that you've always come to the old man club, but I got,

122
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,280
I got horn room glasses because okay, I thought those were fancy.

123
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:07,720
Uh, all right, Sarge, today's episode.

124
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:14,080
There's a lot of talk going around about a certain country overseas that may have meddled

125
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,080
in our elections.

126
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:22,120
You know, you know, the one I'm talking about, uh, France, Germany, England, Russia, North

127
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,120
Korea, Iran, Russia.

128
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,120
Okay.

129
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:34,920
Today's arch, we are going to be heading to the motherland, the motherland, the mother.

130
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,400
I had nothing prepared to say over that.

131
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,040
I just thought it was fun to play the cannibalism capital of the world.

132
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,040
No.

133
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:47,760
So we're going to be heading to Russia to talk about, I don't know if they're aliens

134
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:48,760
or crypto.

135
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,880
I don't really know what they are or it could just be some Russians really zooted out on,

136
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,200
on crocodile.

137
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,560
It could be, but we're going to make a lake bike hall.

138
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,640
Are you familiar with lake bike hall?

139
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:00,640
I am not.

140
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:01,640
I have not had the pleasure.

141
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:02,640
Okay.

142
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,640
So I'm located in southeastern Siberia.

143
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,640
That's a pleasure.

144
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,640
I don't know why that got me.

145
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:16,640
Maybe one day.

146
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,320
So, uh, before we real quick, uh, today's episode is, this is a topic that I, I touched

147
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,680
on briefly like two years ago.

148
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,000
Um, it probably like in like the fourth episode I ever did, we, I did like a small little

149
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,920
brief breakdown of it and I promised that I was going to do a full episode on it.

150
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,060
So now we're going to, so anyways, we're going to lake bike hall.

151
00:07:35,060 --> 00:07:38,520
It is located in southeastern Siberia near the Mongolian border.

152
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:43,020
Oh, now the thing about lake bike hall is that it's not just the deepest lake.

153
00:07:43,020 --> 00:07:48,960
It's also one of the oldest with a history spanning over 25 million years, holding nearly

154
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,480
a quarter of the earth's fresh water.

155
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:52,480
Oh shit.

156
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:53,480
Yeah.

157
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,160
It's, it's the world's deepest and oldest lake.

158
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,380
See now I want to go to it.

159
00:07:56,380 --> 00:08:00,120
This makes me actually like before I was kidding, but now I do kind of want to see it.

160
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,120
It's pretty sick.

161
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,760
It plunges to depths of over 5,000 feet and harbors numerous unique species that are found

162
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,200
nowhere else in the world.

163
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,880
It's pretty much like the Russian version of like Galapagos, if that makes sense.

164
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,320
How there's only this specific species.

165
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:14,320
Yeah.

166
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,320
Yeah.

167
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,520
Uh, some of these creatures include the bike hall Nerpa seal.

168
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:23,120
It's the only freshwater seal species in the world and it remains a biological mystery.

169
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,680
Like no one knows even know how they fucking got there.

170
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,000
Because Siberia is pretty landlocked.

171
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,600
It's in the middle of fucking note.

172
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:30,600
You know what I mean?

173
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:31,600
Yeah.

174
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:32,600
Yeah.

175
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,600
Well, I mean, Russia is kind of famously doesn't have many ports.

176
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:36,600
Yeah.

177
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:43,200
Uh, uh, the lake is also home to, uh, the bizarre go, go llama, go llama, Yonka fish.

178
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,440
I think I pronounced that right.

179
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,440
I don't know.

180
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,800
Uh, it's, it's a nightmare.

181
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:53,480
It's a, it's a translucent translucent scaleless species composed mostly of fat.

182
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:59,040
Uh, and there's also the legendary bike hall sturgeon, which grows to enormous sizes.

183
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,520
Uh, I was like, one of those things where like, it's been untouched by humanity and

184
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:04,520
it's so big.

185
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:05,520
It's like a goldfish basically.

186
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,080
The sturgeons just grow to it.

187
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,520
It doesn't have any predators and it's in a giant lake.

188
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:12,520
Yeah.

189
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,840
Uh, and this may also have, uh, inspired local myths of lake monsters.

190
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:21,160
But anyways, beyond like the ecological significance lake bike hall has, has long been the epicenter

191
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:26,640
of eerie unexplainable phenomena, strange lights in the sky, unidentified submerged

192
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:32,720
objects, usos if you're nasty and rumors of hidden extraterrestrial bases underneath

193
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,440
its frigid waters have made it a hotspot for conspiracy theorists and UFO enthusiasts.

194
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:43,880
So like, uh, some locals even speak of the sued con a so-called quote unquote water dragon

195
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:50,280
master said to lurk in the depths is basically they described it as a sturgeon with a.

196
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:55,680
Uh, like a, like a crocodile mouth and like an armored plate on it, but it could just

197
00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:58,200
be because I prefer water dragon master.

198
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,840
I think has the best name for it.

199
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:00,840
That's what it like.

200
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:01,840
I think that's what that translates to.

201
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,320
I don't know why I wrote a so-called it's just, that's such a great name.

202
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:07,320
Yeah.

203
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,280
It's just a, it's just a big old fish.

204
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:17,360
Um, but you know, uh, but one of the most baffling encounters again, cause I don't know

205
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,280
how to really just like say what it is to come at a lake bike hall.

206
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,000
It's not just big fish.

207
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,520
Uh, it's a story that sounds like something out of like a science fiction horror film.

208
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:34,400
And then it is the encounter between Soviet military divers and the lake bike hall swimmers.

209
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,400
Are you familiar at all?

210
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:36,400
I'm going to assume no.

211
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:37,400
Yes.

212
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:43,760
Don't know about actually, no, I am familiar with this and I absolutely fell in love with

213
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,180
this story.

214
00:10:45,180 --> 00:10:49,520
So I'm glad you're covering it because there's no way I would have remembered lake bike hall

215
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:50,720
as we can tell.

216
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:51,720
Yeah.

217
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,600
But I remember reading about the story and being fascinated with it.

218
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,600
Yeah.

219
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,640
So the story goes that in 1982 during the height of the cold war, the Soviet military

220
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,320
was conducting routine training exercises in the lake.

221
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,920
Now the divers were accustomed to tough conditions as I feel like most Russians usually are.

222
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,040
Cause I, yeah, they're not a hospitable country for sure.

223
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,320
Like they just waking up is a miracle.

224
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,320
Yeah.

225
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,000
And I feel like their military is, I'm not going to say better than ours, but they're

226
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,000
definitely tougher.

227
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,440
I feel like in a sense, they're tougher because their greatest weapon is the winter time.

228
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,920
That is how they'd repelled Napoleon and Hitler.

229
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:29,920
Yeah.

230
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,320
It's basically like they can fight anywhere at all times and they do not give a fuck.

231
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,440
They're also just fucking all fucked up on crocodile and vodka.

232
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,080
Like they're like super sold.

233
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,600
The winter soldier is a, is Russian.

234
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:48,160
When you're resourceful enough to turn potatoes into alcohol, you can accomplish great things.

235
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,160
I'll agree with that.

236
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,160
Yeah.

237
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,240
So they're, they're, they're accustomed to tough conditions, freezing water, complete

238
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,560
darkness and again, like the lake, the lake is so deep that if anyone was on train that

239
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:01,520
was going to dive into it, they'd be crushed in seconds.

240
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:02,520
If they were, you know what I mean?

241
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,440
Like if they weren't like prepared or like acclimated to it as a, as somebody who is

242
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:14,040
an aficionado of diving disaster videos, I can, there's something wrong with me, honestly,

243
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,600
because every time I talk about one of my interests, it's like, so this is another way

244
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,600
you can die.

245
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,840
Well, once you say it out loud is when you're like, wow, this is, yeah, that's when you're

246
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,000
like, oh, I do have some sick fucking interests.

247
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:33,880
But yeah, you have to have special, special tanks because you, you have to raise levels

248
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,280
of other gases in order to not get nitrogen.

249
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,280
You don't get the back.

250
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:40,280
Intoxication.

251
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:45,680
Well, not only that, but if you don't, if you have too much nitrogen, you actually almost

252
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:50,640
get drunk and then you, you do shit, like take your rebreather out of your mouth and

253
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,360
try to breathe water.

254
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:53,960
So it just.

255
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,280
So what you're saying is that I shouldn't do a bunch of whippets and then just go deep

256
00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,280
sea diving.

257
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,280
Exactly.

258
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,280
Yeah.

259
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,280
You should avoid that.

260
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:03,280
You should avoid it.

261
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,280
You should avoid Valentine's day plans.

262
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:09,520
And honestly, the worst thing about diving is that everybody's body is different.

263
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,280
So what, what might mess you up, may not mess me up.

264
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,640
That's not true.

265
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,360
God made us all in his image.

266
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,080
We were all, God doesn't make mistakes.

267
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,080
Exactly.

268
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,560
God don't make mistakes.

269
00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:24,560
Except for llamas.

270
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:25,560
That was a mistake.

271
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:26,560
Whoa.

272
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:27,560
All right.

273
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:30,560
We'll touch back on that later on.

274
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:34,520
Okay, the platypus though, we can all agree was an error.

275
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:35,520
Yeah.

276
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:36,520
That was a nightmare.

277
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:37,520
Or you're just having fun.

278
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:38,520
You just have fun with it.

279
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:39,520
But anyways, but it's a duck beaver.

280
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:40,520
It's fine.

281
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,920
But even though the Russians are very tough, I'm sure their bootcamp is bananas.

282
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,440
It's like, oh yeah, like nothing straight up torture.

283
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,440
Yeah.

284
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,280
Like nothing in their training could have prepared them for what was about to happen

285
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:51,280
to them.

286
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:57,840
So at a depth of about 164 feet, one of the divers noticed something moving in the distance.

287
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:03,240
At first he assumed it was a large fish, perhaps one of the fucking giant sturgeons.

288
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,240
I don't know.

289
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:11,520
But, but as the shape became clear, he realized it was something way worse.

290
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:12,520
It was humanoid.

291
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,160
It was humanoid nature.

292
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:20,240
Now before he could react, more of them emerged from the gloom, not just one, but several

293
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,700
swimming with impossible speed and grace, their long limbs cutting effortlessly through

294
00:14:24,700 --> 00:14:25,700
the icy depths.

295
00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:26,700
Okay.

296
00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:30,080
I was going to say maybe it's just Vladimir Putin going for a swim.

297
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,760
No, but that tracks, it was more of them.

298
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:34,760
There's more than one.

299
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,680
Now the diver obviously kind of like fuck is going on.

300
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:45,000
He signaled to his comrades and they all turned to witness what can only be described as like

301
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,480
the impossible.

302
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:54,400
Now what they saw there was it was were towering 10 foot tall beings wearing metallic silver

303
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:55,860
body suits.

304
00:14:55,860 --> 00:14:58,400
Their faces obscured by clear domed helmets.

305
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:04,440
There was no oxygen tanks, no visible breathing apparatus, just cold alien precision in their

306
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:05,440
movements.

307
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,980
For a moment, both sides simply just stared at each other.

308
00:15:08,980 --> 00:15:11,440
The divers were frozen in fear and shock.

309
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:17,320
The humanoid seemingly just unbothered by the presence of heavily armed Soviet militia.

310
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,960
They were just whatever.

311
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:24,480
Then without warning, the beings turned and darted deeper into the lake, vanishing into

312
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,600
the abyss.

313
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:30,600
Now at this point they're like, we need to tell the top brass, we need to get out of

314
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,920
here and let someone know what's going on.

315
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,800
So when the shaken divers finally surfaced, they were immediately debriefed by their commanding

316
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:38,800
officer.

317
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:44,760
Now, given the bizarre nature of what they reported, their superiors, they faced a dilemma.

318
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:49,520
Was this like an elaborate hoax where these guys who went into the water like, it's too

319
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,720
cold, it's too dark, we don't want to do this anymore.

320
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,080
So they made up a story.

321
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,620
Was it a shared hallucination?

322
00:15:54,620 --> 00:15:57,960
Maybe what you said, maybe they had too much nitrogen or whatever in their blood and they

323
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:58,960
were fucking hammered.

324
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,600
And they were like, you see all this shit?

325
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:03,600
Maybe it was one of the seals.

326
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:04,960
Yuri, level with me.

327
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,320
Were you drinking vodka before you went in the water?

328
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,040
Well, I'm not going to lie.

329
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,280
I know you're doing a bit, but I feel like that's probably custom.

330
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,280
Like I feel like.

331
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:15,280
Yeah, probably.

332
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:20,000
Now that I say that out loud, that is more than likely just a normal state of being.

333
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,160
Yeah, like you may not return.

334
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,160
Have a shot.

335
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:29,520
I will miss you if you die, but I will take all of your vodka.

336
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,200
And your wives and bears.

337
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,200
Yeah.

338
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,360
That line from Rocky IV, if he dies, he dies.

339
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,280
That's just like a common saying in Russia.

340
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:43,000
Yeah, that's like, it's like how, what is, was Aloha means hello and goodbye or something

341
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:48,000
like that.

342
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,920
That's actually how they say hello and goodbye.

343
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,000
If you die, you die.

344
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Real quick.

345
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,440
I don't know why, but whenever I talk at a Russian accent, the two things I like to say

346
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,800
the most are baseballs and the American blue jeans.

347
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,000
I don't know.

348
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,000
I don't know what's popular exports during Soviet era Russia.

349
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,000
Yeah.

350
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Just did you bring us miss balls or what about the American blue jeans, American blue jeans,

351
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Livy's?

352
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Come on.

353
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,680
We're offending every Russian that has ever been a part of this show.

354
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:25,960
I don't care.

355
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,400
American blue jeans is the funniest thing to say in Russian.

356
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,960
It's so good.

357
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:40,040
You'll go to Gulag for winning American blue jeans.

358
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:45,760
Soviet denim much more.

359
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:50,600
Soviet denim is just regular denim wrapped in barbed wire.

360
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,880
Let's stop shitting on maybe a potential listening base here.

361
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,120
Are we at war?

362
00:17:56,120 --> 00:17:57,960
No, no, they're at war with somebody else.

363
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:58,960
I forgot.

364
00:17:58,960 --> 00:17:59,960
Not yet.

365
00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:00,960
All right.

366
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:01,960
Where was I?

367
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:02,960
Oh yeah.

368
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,120
So it was either an elaborate hoax, a shared hallucination, or maybe they just encountered

369
00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:07,400
something not of this world.

370
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:13,360
So rather than dismiss the claims, military officials decided to take action.

371
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:16,560
Russian divers were ordered to return to the depths of the new objective.

372
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:21,680
That is capture one of these human humanoid beings alive if possible.

373
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,380
There is nothing more human than, oh shit, that's weird and scary.

374
00:18:25,380 --> 00:18:26,440
Let's capture it.

375
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,200
At least this time I will give to the Russians.

376
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,600
They said alive if possible.

377
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:35,120
Most, if it was America, they would in America, they would first we'll figure it out.

378
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:36,120
Yeah.

379
00:18:36,120 --> 00:18:37,120
That's exactly how we would do it here.

380
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:41,280
So props to them for at least that.

381
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,560
Now descending back into the lake, the team moved with caution.

382
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,120
Their oxygen tanks hissed in the silent frigid water.

383
00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:51,840
The deeper they went, the more their surroundings faded into darkness.

384
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,320
Then see I had to burp.

385
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,080
Nothing burps like Narragansett.

386
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,820
Then as if waiting for them, the humanoids reappeared.

387
00:19:00,820 --> 00:19:05,320
This time the divers had a plan, a concept of a plan.

388
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,320
It was very Looney Tunes.

389
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,180
This is a very Looney Tunes plan.

390
00:19:11,180 --> 00:19:13,560
They brought an anvil and a giant rocket with them.

391
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,440
We'll figure it out when we get down there.

392
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,480
Kind of American cartoons.

393
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:18,480
They show us how to.

394
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,480
No, no, it was a Looney Tunes.

395
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:22,720
Comical mousetrap.

396
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:23,720
Bugs Bunny.

397
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:24,720
Road runner.

398
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:25,720
Like Coyote.

399
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:32,560
We tried to get him to defect, but find out he's not real.

400
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,920
We bought these from Acme Co.

401
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,040
It's not that far off.

402
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,960
So one of them carried a large net.

403
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:42,960
Oh God.

404
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:43,960
Yes.

405
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:44,960
Of course.

406
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:49,560
It's not cutting edge military technology, but given the circumstances, it was apparently

407
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,560
was their best option.

408
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:53,800
Industrial size butterfly net.

409
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,280
You just got it on a long stick.

410
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,720
I'll get you alien.

411
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:03,400
With military precision, the group moved in, but the moment they attempted to ensnare one

412
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,960
of the creatures, the atmosphere in the water, I guess the air, I was going to say the air,

413
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,240
but the water shifted.

414
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:10,240
Right.

415
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:16,220
Now the humanoids once seemingly indifferent from the first time they saw them now reacted

416
00:20:16,220 --> 00:20:17,220
with force.

417
00:20:17,220 --> 00:20:20,920
Now without touching them, without making a sound, the beings unleashed an invisible

418
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:25,280
wave of energy, a high intensity sonar blast.

419
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,440
Once these, once the soldiers were hit, the effects were immediate.

420
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:33,320
The divers convulsed as a shockwave tore through their bodies, their vision blurred, their

421
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:38,840
muscles locked up, then as if yanked by unseen forces, they were flung upward towards the

422
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,120
surface at an uncontrollable speed.

423
00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:47,800
Now for those of you unfamiliar with deep water diving, rapid ascent from such depths

424
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,560
is catastrophic to your body.

425
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,640
Like yeah, yeah.

426
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,760
The sudden decompression caused by being forcefully expelled from the water can lead to what is

427
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,700
commonly known as the bends.

428
00:20:58,700 --> 00:21:00,520
It literally makes your blood boil.

429
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,680
Yeah, this occurs when nitrogen bubbles form in the bloodstream due to a rapid change in

430
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:10,520
pressure leading to excruciating pain, paralysis, and in severe cases, death.

431
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,760
Now in this case, the results were tragic.

432
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:19,040
Three of the divers sustained injuries, but managed to avoid the worst effects of decompression

433
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,040
sickness.

434
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:25,080
However, four of them suffered extreme cases and needed immediate medical attention.

435
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,480
Luckily there was a recompression chamber in the region, but it was only designed to accommodate

436
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,440
two people at a time.

437
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,920
So faced with an impossible decision and desperate to save their comrades, the medical team attempted

438
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,200
to treat all four divers at once.

439
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,280
This proved to be a fatal mistake.

440
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:46,240
Three of the men succumbed to their injuries while the sole survivor suffered lasting physical

441
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,280
and psychological trauma.

442
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,240
How are we feeling so far, Sarge?

443
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,920
I mean, this just reconfirms that I don't want to swim underwater.

444
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,080
Ever again?

445
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,080
Especially in Russia.

446
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,080
Yeah.

447
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:05,520
Well, it doesn't know like I'll go into water like, you know, a couple of feet in a swimming

448
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,440
pool, but I'm not diving anywhere.

449
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,480
Oh, no, I'll know.

450
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:15,680
Unless like if I can't see this, if I can't see the bottom or see the surface, I'm good.

451
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:16,680
Yeah, I'm done.

452
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:17,680
I don't need thanks.

453
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:18,680
I don't need that shit.

454
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:23,800
Well, like I read about re like decompression when you're coming up and you have to wait

455
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,680
and sometimes they have to wait for fucking hours in the middle of the ocean on a rope.

456
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,720
Like fuck that.

457
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,280
You know, bored you'd be.

458
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,320
Yeah, I also found that I don't know how true this is.

459
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:36,720
I was watching the show Silo.

460
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,120
I don't know if you ever watched it.

461
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:39,120
10 out of 10.

462
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:40,120
Highly recommend it.

463
00:22:40,120 --> 00:22:45,240
If you have Apple TV, my guy, one of the best shows I've ever seen in a long time.

464
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,200
But if you started to get the bends as you're coming up, if you just go back down and chill

465
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:54,320
for a minute, like you said, like it kind of like repurposes everything.

466
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:55,320
I guess.

467
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:56,320
Okay.

468
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,360
But hey, that's useful advice, maybe from a TV show.

469
00:22:59,360 --> 00:23:04,800
Well, yeah, I mean the whole decompression, like the chambers that they have to put them

470
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,240
in, it's essentially doing that.

471
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:11,560
It's just re exerting the pressure on their bodies so that they don't die too quickly.

472
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:12,560
Yeah.

473
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,560
It like slows everything down so that they can actually survive.

474
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:15,560
So they can die slower.

475
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:16,560
Got it.

476
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:17,560
All right, cool.

477
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:25,000
It's actually that's a, I don't know if any of you, I'm not going to talk about it now,

478
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,840
but look up the bifur dolphin incident.

479
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,400
That's actually pretty fascinating.

480
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:30,400
Catastrophic recompression.

481
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,040
What did someone write a dolphin down to the depths and then fucking die?

482
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:39,800
No, it's like a diving bell and they brought it up to the surface and then somebody just

483
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:46,720
decided to open the door like a fucking idiot and everybody inside got basically liquefied.

484
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:47,720
Fuck yeah.

485
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,840
That's I mean, look it up.

486
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,000
It's crazy.

487
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,000
It's a crazy story.

488
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,000
I said, fuck yeah.

489
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,120
Like I was like, like that's tragic, but at the same time, like that's metal as fuck,

490
00:23:57,120 --> 00:23:58,120
dude.

491
00:23:58,120 --> 00:24:05,440
Like, yeah, well yeah, it's, it's pretty goddamn metal for sure, but it's also horrible death.

492
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:06,440
Yeah.

493
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:07,440
No, no.

494
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:12,320
Following this catastrophic incident, Soviet authorities reportedly shut down any further

495
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:17,800
missions to engage or capture unidentified submerged objects in Lake Baikal and any official

496
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:23,680
documentation and any official documentation of the event was classified at the highest

497
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,120
levels and those involved were sworn to secrecy.

498
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:35,480
Now one of the few public available sources, and this is true, is a 2009 Russia Today report,

499
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:41,120
RT, which briefly mentioned the encounter in the context of Soviet UFO phenomenon.

500
00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:42,120
Really?

501
00:24:42,120 --> 00:24:49,240
And a Fox News article later expanded on the story revealing that quote, military divers

502
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:55,440
encountered a group of humanoid creatures dressed in silvery suits at a depth of 160

503
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:56,960
feet, end quote.

504
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,880
And according to the report, the divers attempted to capture one of the beings resulting in

505
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:05,320
a violent response that led to the deaths of three crew members during the encounter.

506
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:11,280
This is a real Fox News article that you can look up and they actually reported on it.

507
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:18,720
Now, I mean that almost kind of reduces the legitimacy of the story for me.

508
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:24,000
The fact that they're reporting on an RT, which is a Russian state propaganda outlet,

509
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,160
or which one?

510
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:30,720
No, just the fact that Fox News got involved in any story, because I'm just trying to figure

511
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,880
out how they managed to blame that on DEI.

512
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:38,120
This is what happens when you include aliens in things.

513
00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:42,480
Well, if the aliens were illegal, they didn't go through the proper channels to be in that

514
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:43,480
lake.

515
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:44,480
You know they didn't.

516
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:45,480
That's true.

517
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,160
They didn't have their intergalactic passport.

518
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:54,120
They must be here in one of them H1B visas.

519
00:25:54,120 --> 00:26:00,160
No, whatever the truth may be, one thing is certain.

520
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,640
And that is that Lake Baikal remains one of the most enigmatic and mysterious places on

521
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:10,120
earth and perhaps lurking in its frigid depths, the answer to one of humanity's greatest questions,

522
00:26:10,120 --> 00:26:11,120
are we alone?

523
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:13,720
Awaits discovery.

524
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,640
That is the story of the Baikal swimmers.

525
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,480
It wasn't like a crazy story.

526
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,400
I just thought it was a story that's not very well known.

527
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,160
I think it's an amazing story.

528
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,160
That's really fascinating.

529
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,240
I didn't know that RT had reported on it.

530
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,360
I had read it on some, you know.

531
00:26:27,360 --> 00:26:28,360
Yeah.

532
00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:34,040
Well, so the RT act, like their report, like their thing, I can't find anywhere, but I

533
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:39,360
can find, I found the article that Fox News reported on the RT thing.

534
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:43,080
So I don't know if like RT like got rid of it or something like that.

535
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,560
Yeah, it's possible.

536
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,520
I mean, Russia has never exactly been transparent when they have weird shit go down.

537
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:49,520
Yeah.

538
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,560
They're also not very reliable source of fact full information.

539
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,400
I feel like for the most part.

540
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,560
Yeah, but this doesn't exactly make them look good.

541
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:01,480
So I kind of feel like there's a little bit more legitimacy because normally, you know,

542
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:06,440
if it doesn't involve them doing superhuman feats of strength to save the Republic, then

543
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:07,640
they're not going to talk about it.

544
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:08,640
You know, that's true.

545
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:09,640
Yeah, I don't know.

546
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,800
I don't, I don't know the legitimacy of the story.

547
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:12,880
It's a cool story.

548
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:13,880
It's fun.

549
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,320
I heard about it on the first time I heard about it was a few years ago on ancient aliens.

550
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,160
It was like a very like passing thing.

551
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,640
And I think like Nick Pope or whoever that guy is was talking about it.

552
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,820
And I don't know why, but I fucking hate that guy.

553
00:27:26,820 --> 00:27:30,720
He seems like a genuine dude when he talks about stuff, but he has a weird rat face and

554
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:35,600
I fucking hate him for it.

555
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,400
Isn't Nick Pope the British guy who was in charge of project blue book?

556
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:40,400
Probably dude.

557
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:41,400
I don't know.

558
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:42,400
Whatever the British version of it was.

559
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:47,080
I genuinely have not looked into him because ever since the first time I saw him on ancient

560
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,200
aliens, it's like that dude's a fucking grifter.

561
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,200
Fuck that guy.

562
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,640
No basis for that accusation whatsoever.

563
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,120
I just mean now I need to look his face up.

564
00:27:57,120 --> 00:28:00,280
He looks like a, but I'm pretty sure Nick Pope is the guy.

565
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:01,280
It probably is.

566
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:06,240
I just, I can't stand who he would just can't stand them.

567
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,240
Yeah.

568
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,240
Yeah.

569
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,240
He was, he was there.

570
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,240
UFO guy.

571
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,240
Yeah.

572
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,240
But he has a rat face and I can't handle him.

573
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,600
I know it was, I know I shouldn't body shame this man because he probably is very smart.

574
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:24,000
He's probably very knowledgeable, but it's like fucking ratatouille and I can't, you

575
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,680
know what Nick, I hate your face.

576
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,440
So everything you're saying sucks.

577
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,440
Shut up.

578
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:29,440
Right?

579
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,320
This is why we have more attractive people in the UFO community.

580
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,520
I believe a beautiful person over fucking Nick Pope.

581
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,560
That might also be why I never take anything that Elon Musk says seriously.

582
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,960
Cause he looks like a cartoon character.

583
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:42,960
Yeah.

584
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,240
But also maybe that's why I agree with everything.

585
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,000
Georgio Asoukalis says, you ever seen that dude?

586
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,080
He's fucking jacked as fuck.

587
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,080
He's ripped.

588
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,880
His hair though worries me sometimes.

589
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,080
I don't know why it's so big.

590
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:58,700
I think, I think he, he, I bet he would have changed his hairstyle if everyone, if it didn't

591
00:28:58,700 --> 00:28:59,800
become like his signature thing.

592
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:00,800
You know what I mean?

593
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:01,800
Yeah.

594
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:02,800
Yeah.

595
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,160
He's probably embracing the mad scientist look.

596
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,160
Yeah.

597
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,160
That's fine.

598
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:07,160
And that's fair.

599
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,160
Yeah.

600
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,160
I let him carry me like a baby.

601
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:10,160
If given the chance, it's fine.

602
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,160
Oh yeah.

603
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,160
Me too.

604
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,160
Hold me in your arms.

605
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,160
Tighter, closer.

606
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,160
Let me know you love me.

607
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,160
All right.

608
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,160
So yeah.

609
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,160
So that's today's episode.

610
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,160
Not saying it's aliens, but it's aliens.

611
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,160
So yeah.

612
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,160
So that's today's episode.

613
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,160
Not anything crazy.

614
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:30,600
I just thought it was a really fun story and I promised two years ago that I was going

615
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,400
to do a full episode on it.

616
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:33,400
And here we are.

617
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:34,400
We did it.

618
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:35,400
We did a full episode.

619
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:36,400
I'm going to say these are underwater yetis.

620
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,400
That's going to be my belief.

621
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:38,400
Is that what it is?

622
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:39,400
Underwater yetis?

623
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:40,400
They're 10 feet tall.

624
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:41,400
I mean, yeah.

625
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:42,400
The yetis are supposed to be big, aren't they?

626
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:43,400
I guess.

627
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:44,400
I don't know if they're 10 feet tall.

628
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:50,800
And maybe they get bigger cause they're in low depths, you know, they're, they're, and

629
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,520
so the pressure stretched them out.

630
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,580
Or maybe it's like, again, it's the goldfish thing.

631
00:29:54,580 --> 00:29:56,000
They just grow to whatever.

632
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Yeah.

633
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,000
They've got no natural predators.

634
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,000
Yeah.

635
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Except for those fucking.

636
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:06,000
They're only natural predators, a Soviet with a net.

637
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,540
Such a wily coyote way to go about doing anything.

638
00:30:09,540 --> 00:30:11,760
Just amazing.

639
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,840
It's so good.

640
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:22,000
I hope this is true just because of how hilarious it is to imagine like a bunch of divers being

641
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:27,040
jettisoned out of the water, like flying up in the air and then just belly flopping.

642
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:31,760
Dude, could you imagine how fucking scary that would be?

643
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:32,760
Like, oh God.

644
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:33,760
Yeah.

645
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:40,200
I'm not doubting that it's terrifying, but seeing it from my vantage point here in 2025,

646
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,200
it is kind of hilarious to imagine.

647
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,680
I mean, I bet it'd be fucking funny to see, like, I mean, I get, if you were on shore

648
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,960
and it happened in the moment, you're like, what the fuck was that?

649
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:57,040
But years later, you're probably like fucking flat, hit that water so fucking hard, dude.

650
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:58,040
Oh man.

651
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,880
I'm so sorry he died because of decompression sickness.

652
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,880
That was hilarious.

653
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:09,920
You know, tragedy over time equals comedy.

654
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,960
So exactly it is what it is.

655
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:12,960
All right.

656
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:13,960
Sorry.

657
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,520
Is there anything you want to plug before we sign off?

658
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,640
I got a few things that I want to say afterwards.

659
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:18,640
So yeah.

660
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,600
Get the coloring book, SagesSuperNormal.com.

661
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,120
$9.99.

662
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,160
It's probably worth it.

663
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,320
And that's it.

664
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,320
Yeah.

665
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:30,320
Get the coloring book.

666
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:31,320
Hell yeah.

667
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,680
I got two shout outs I want to give.

668
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:40,280
One is to my brother-in-law, Zach Elliott, because he's, he just discovered the show

669
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,960
and apparently he's been listening every day in his shop.

670
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:47,400
So I hope he hears this in his shop while everyone is around him and he's listening

671
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:48,400
to it.

672
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:49,400
Shout out Zach.

673
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:50,400
Love you, brother.

674
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:51,400
Sorry I missed your call.

675
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:52,400
Actually, I didn't miss your call.

676
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,000
I bitch buttoned you, but I didn't know it was you.

677
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,400
So I'm sorry in advance for that.

678
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:57,400
Yeah.

679
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,200
Thanks so much for listening to the show.

680
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,880
Now leave a rating review and subscribe to the Patreon.

681
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:08,280
It's a $3 a month and or $7 a month, whatever you want to do.

682
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:12,240
The other shout out I want to give is to this band called Killed by a Yeti.

683
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:13,240
I found them.

684
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:14,360
Oh, I love it.

685
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:20,080
The algorithm, the algorithm gods on TikTok found me this band and I've been obsessed

686
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,840
with their new EP.

687
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:22,840
So good.

688
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:23,840
It's metal.

689
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:24,840
It's not like Deathcore or metal.

690
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:25,840
I don't know.

691
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,520
You know, it's like for me, it sounds like party metal.

692
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:31,920
Like it's just a good time all around when you listen to it.

693
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,920
So definitely go check out Killed by a Yeti.

694
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,480
10 out of 10.

695
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:37,840
No notes.

696
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:38,840
Everything they do is gold.

697
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,160
But yeah, I think that's it.

698
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,160
Follow us on Instagram.

699
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:47,640
Follow us on TikTok, Crypto Cocktail and Crypto Cocktail Party respectively.

700
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,080
You can also sign up for our Patreon again.

701
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:55,000
$3 a month if you don't need any of the bells and whistles, you'll get a shout out on the

702
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,000
show.

703
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,560
But nothing fancy if you just want to support what we're doing or for $7 a month, you'll

704
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,040
get unedited video episodes.

705
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,040
You can see all my mistakes.

706
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:05,760
You'll be able to see my chest hair.

707
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,320
Yeah, you'll be able to hear some chest hair.

708
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:14,360
You'll be able to hear all my attempts at retrying to say things because I'm a fucking

709
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,320
dunce.

710
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:21,320
In my inability to use name of my sex tape properly.

711
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:22,800
Yeah.

712
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:31,520
You know, you get some other fun stuff eventually here and there.

713
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,960
But yeah, but I think with that out of the way, Sarge, do you want to say, oh, leave

714
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,680
us a rating and review anywhere you can, please.

715
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:38,680
It really helps.

716
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:39,680
Please do.

717
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:40,680
Yeah.

718
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,760
All right, Sarge, do you think you want to say goodbye and I love you to the audience?

719
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:45,760
Yes.

720
00:33:45,760 --> 00:34:08,760
I love you to the audience.

721
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:18,320
Yeah.
