All right, we're doing it. Let's go. That's what
she said. There we are. That's right. Oh, don't
forget the best part of the show. Yeah. Amazing
yeah, you guys can shut up What That's good,
that's good. Here we are again yeti or not Here
we come For what? I don't know could be anything
could be yetis could not be which is exactly
why it's yeti or not So far we're trying to focus
solely on some of these cryptids and specifically
Bigfoot there's there surprisingly there is a
wide variety of Bigfoot esque creatures. Are
they big feet? I imagine they all do have fairly
large feet. They're low the legendary piggy piggy
hill Look out So well that said we're diving
in because I didn't know that Bat -squatch was
even a thing. I had no clue. In fact when I looked
it up like hey What's some different types of
big feet we could look up? Bat -squatch wasn't
in there. No, so Do us a favor go out on our
non -existent web page and leave us a comment
on there about some different big feet Mm -hmm.
It's gonna be impossible because it's not actually
up, but I think we are I'll have one Eventually,
it's happening. We are on Spotify So if you just
you know, follow us and leave a comment I think
you can leave comments on there if you leave
a comment We'll definitely have something to
look up. It could be your mom. I don't know.
I Won't do that. I will not do that. I'm gonna
leave your mom right where she is Exactly cuz
she's smelly. She's one of the skunk apes but
Not your mom their mom somebody's mom gotta be
must be your bowl going along with the wide variety
Didn't what so today we're gonna talk about sheep
squash Correct. I I only thought that was a fallout
thing that was up until we start talking about
this today That's all I thought I thought was
made a thing from fallout and I was like, okay
cool and then sure enough It's for real. Well,
it's a real topic It's a real thing that people
are supposed to be seeing. You know what I mean?
Yes. Okay. Well, and you're right because I remember
seeing it in fallout 76 specifically because
yeah, we'd play that was first time I seen it
and I didn't even think about it. It's like sheep
squash. What the hell is that? That's silly.
Yeah. Oh, that's stupid. That's funny. They have
so many made up things in there anyway, but then
it started making sense because it's Appalachian
mountain thing and that's exactly where that
is. Oh, I didn't realize this is a real So good
job fallout research team. Well in isn't wait
Is there a real sheep squash or is that the robot
one in the game and knowing the game? It's a
real one. Well, there's two there's the robot
one the sheep squash imposter. Oh Okay, which
has its own separate like little side quest thing
and then there's also the sheep squash, the actual
one in the game. OK, because I remember fighting,
I think, the imposter and I was like, this is
stupid. It was hard. Like the imposter one was
hard. It would just laser beam everybody and
everybody be dead. Totally realistic. Laser beam,
sheep squash in my mutated Appalachian mountains.
Well, mutated Appalachian mountains sounds like
it's a thing, but well, I guess we're just probably
not to go too far to find mutants. No, isn't
that like this thing? Yeah. I mean, did you ever
see that that guy that does documentaries? Something
white underbelly. Yeah. The more we went to that
that family. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I see that one.
Yeah, man. I felt so bad. It's just like, yeah,
that's that's that's intense, man. Yeah. You
hear all the jokes about that type of stuff all
the time. Well, we're Jokes and all that cuz
it's one thing to like hear the joke But then
when you actually see it And that's that's that's
a strong image. Yeah, it's like the the mom is
staring with her one eye. Yeah going like this
like that and then you hit a kid son husband
yeah, I'm knowing out of one side and I don't
even know what's going on because he'd ask him
and be like, hey, you know, so, you know, who's
who's this person? And I wonder what happened.
And they're just like, I don't know. I mean,
like, who's your dad? That's my brother. This
guy, my brother, my brother, dad, uncle, or however
that works. I mean, we shouldn't laugh at that.
Yeah, it is sad. But man, yeah, my honest reaction,
like, yeah, I'm kind of. What the hell is going
on here? If you had to yeah, if you had to have
sheep squash come from somewhere It would make
sense. It'd be coming from that part of the country.
Well, I mean, what do they got sheep? people
That would be your option if it's not your oh,
I mean, yeah, I mean slim pickings man I mean
we could find we'll find out we do have some
information that was put up So kindly by our
little assistant. So yeah, so for those of you
wondering what is This the sheep squash. Let
me tell you i'm glad you asked. Let me tell you
the sea Oh, man, that's um, dude We'll just rewind
back that up The sheep squash also known as the
white thing is encrypted a creature whose existence
is suggested by anecdotal reports, but unproven
by science Primarily reported in the Appalachian
region of the united states, especially southwestern
west virginia. So we're not just making fun of
you west like The internet is telling me this.
No, this is the real thing. I'm sorry. This is
what you're not exactly. Yeah Counties like Boone,
Conowah, Putnam, and Mason see the most sightings
with a notable surge in Boone County during the
mid 1990s. Mason. That's what county we're in
right now. That's true. That is true. And this
is very rural. Maybe. Just a coincidence. It's
often depicted as a bizarre hybrid of sheep and
Sasquatch, aka the Bigfoot, blending wooly features
with ape -like or canine traits. Folklore ties
it to a remote wooden mountains Where it is said
to be elusive but aggressive when provoked sometimes
preying on livestock such as horses Hold up.
I just remembered something. We're totally being
thrown off here because we forgot to Add in our
oh, that's great. Okay There we go. Well that
that new song was missing that works out great
cuz you so I just told you like, okay You're
pitching that and like you want some more description.
I what? What am I look what am I looking for
if I'm going to go out there to find one? What
am I looking for? Well? How am I going to recognize?
This is what it is So let me give you a solid
description of said sheep squash I Went eyewitness
accounts consistently describe the seats cheap
squash man. I'm gonna birch butcher that all
gonna bitch a birch bircher All right good job
Consistently describe it Has a large bear -sized
quadruped about seven to nine feet tall when
standing on hind legs Covered in shaggy entirely
white wool like fur is a pointed dog or wolf
like head with saber like teeth Goat or ram like
horns such like like the single pointed kind
not like those weird Goats that like ugly shape
horns not like that. Oh, yeah It has a long tail,
hairless, similar to an opossum's tail. Some
reports mention. What? Yeah, yeah, like you've
seen an opossum, right? Yeah, why would I have
an opossum tail? It's a sheep. I don't know.
That just threw me off. It's like, oh, by the
way, it's got an opossum tail. Yeah, well, because
it's got the long face. Maybe it's more like
a opossum squatch than a sheep squatch. With
horns? I mean, yeah, because the things that
I read kind of has a dog -like face. Uh -huh.
Or wolf. But it has horns. Yeah. Some reports
even mention glowing red eyes, like a cat's eyes.
But red. Okay. So obviously you're seeing that
at night. Possums kind of look like that. And
possums are predominantly out at night. And they're
really gross. Let me continue. They do stink.
We're going to... Okay. I think we're on to something
here. Reportedly, a sulfurous or musky odor possibly
sent glands like weasels or skunks. Unusual features
like four eyes it moves on all fours, but can
rear up bipedally bipedally emitting eerie screams
or snorts Dude it sounds more like a possum.
It sounds more like cuz you've heard a possum,
right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it sounds like a
Ugly fat rodent what it is. Yeah, I there was
one that was trapped underneath Where I was working
at like the house this house was trapped underneath
there and it would not come out of there and
you'd go Like I don't know like Come on. Come
on. Get out of there. It would just sit there.
It's like no Yeah, ugly as hell Apparently they
side side. No, I guess possums are immune to
rabies I think I remember something about that
And and then I remember hearing about Because
they'll just play dead, but then they emit a
smell like oh, it smells like farts I better
did you ever see that old cartoon Cartoon Network
called sledgehammer opossum? No It was a great
one. I don't know why I just oh, I know why I
remembered it now, but because possums I loved
that cartoon back It was only for like one or
two episodes. They were made. It was really low
quality Really dumb, but I remember as a kid.
I loved it. I'm gonna have to find it Isn't that
weird? There are some cartoons that just came
and went and you totally will forget, like Bacchymus
from Mars or Bucky O 'Hare. Eon Flux. Or Eon
Flux. Like that was a weird one. That was the
coolest one, man. I always stay up at night,
like, and waiting for that to come on. Yeah.
It was like, oh, they drew some cartoon boobs.
Yeah. Yeah. And there was a, we were, we watched
like the Jungle Book the other day. It was totally
spooky, you know? Yeah. We've watched the Jungle
Book and I go, did you ever watch Tailspin? And
she's like, no. What is that? They had like all
these characters again. They had Baloo and he's
a pilot. And then the other one, Shere Khan's
like this big business guy that they're all afraid
of. So, you know, that's what it would be like
modern. Exactly. Or whatever. But that show with
this mystery, it only had one season. Really?
I feel like it went longer than that. Yeah, it
had 63 episodes in one season. Yeah. Hey, so
that's a lot of drawing they like yeah, they
got green lit to do whatever for the season and
they just did a bunch when then they never went
for it renewed it or however that worked but
like that's How do we get on this? I don't know
a squash. Well, he sounds more like a possum
to me though. I agree. I agree There is a history
of notable sightings though, so While I'm skeptic
already, let's Let me go over this and maybe
it'll shed some more light on your opinion We're
not trying to totally it all over your story
or whatever I Think it's credible that there's
a big foot out there in the woods around here
who might say there's not one down there, too
I mean don't be surprised if I'm calling you
Stupid when you're like, I totally have proof,
but I don't have it. Yeah, basically like yeah,
you can say I saw something and and I This is
what I thought I saw and you know, maybe you're
wrong. Our memories are obviously horrible and
And before I get into the the note of quote -unquote
notable sightings. Okay, like I said before in
the last one with With everyone having a cell
phone and every cell phone having a camera And
the cameras being as good as they are now like
Why are we not getting more videos of these things?
No, I feel like like you can go on you can go
on youtube any day and find a fairly recent ufo
video Right that someone took with their shaky
cell phone camera You don't find those of Bigfoot
man. No, you know with everyone's got like game
cameras out in the woods looking for stuff You
think like someone would get like a good shot
of one. Maybe people don't spend enough time
in the woods now Yeah, well, that's probably
true too. So, you know like what are our kids
doing right now? Playing video games. That's
play playing the same goddamn video game. They
play every day. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Oh, hey,
buddy. Let's play fart night I'm gonna be just
like my dad like I'm gonna call fart night until
you get mad. That's what I call it, too That's
what I do. That's perfect. Yeah, like oh, it's
a fart night. Oh, yeah fart night Yeah, now I
totally understand why he did that All right,
so Here's the history and notable sightings that
we got here So stories of white mysterious creatures
in West Virginia dated back decades Lending Native
American folklore with settler tales Native American
folklore. Okay, I can get behind that the name
sheep squash emerged in the 1990s but earlier
accounts refer to it as the white thing That's
racist as yeah. Hey Yeah, so the earliest report
I have Dated here goes all the way back to 1929.
It's almost a hundred years ago. Yeah, this is
kind of like Is that newer or older for like
Bigfoot? Well, I mean you have Native American
folklore so that probably goes back a few hundred
years probably Yeah, those those kind of stories
get told generation after generation. Yeah. Well,
that's a big thing around here And you know that
that was something I wanted to mention. We are
really wanting to do some on -site stuff and
that's where we need people's help. At some point
when we get this up and rolling, give us. Tell
us where you've seen one. Tell us something because
it's a lot of fun to go and travel and go do
a thing and prove you wrong. Make you look like
an idiot. Because we can't be the only idiots
here. Prove me wrong. Whatever. Don't shoot me.
Yeah. So we're working on at some point we're
going to go do some other stuff. Unfortunately,
we have like these things called jobs because
we have to have money because there's this other
thing called a family that you got to provide
for and all that. Oh, you know, we're, we're
being serial for a second. So there's some stuff
that we have to do in order to do the thing we'd
like to do, which is, is this. But, you know,
we were going to go somewhere, but the kids are
here. So they're there. And so here we are. They're
playing games. They're having a good old time.
And I'm still complaining about them. Playing
games. Kids go outside and load up and do some
stuff. So, yeah, back to the story. All right.
So 1929 Marion County, West Virginia coal miner
Frank Kozel was attacked by a dog sized white
beast with sharp teeth and a bushy tail while
walking home through woods near Jordan 90 near
the Jordan 93 mine. He escaped unharmed with
no physical marks left on him. So. So that one
had like a fluffy sheep tail a dog -sized beast
with sharp teeth. What's a dog -sized beast?
Could it have been a dog? Oh Wait, hold on. No
way So something the size that looked then the
size of a dog that looked kind of like it and
had a bushy tail Okay, all right Jordan or not
barely escaped from that dog attack You're probably
dead now, but I think you probably just got attacked
by Straight dog probably. Yeah, okay. Let's let's
let's We could be wrong. I'm not trying to be
a jerk. Sorry guy 1965 we have a folklore account
and Ruth and music music's book the Telltale
lilac bush All right, okay a woman riding home
from church encounters a charging white beast
She flees on horseback but finds her horse dead
the next morning stripped of flesh echoing tales
of livestock predidation. Ooh Okay, so wait was
this from a book is that or Yeah, I think maybe
it's probably It's from a book and I imagine
the writer Ruth and musics Might have had maybe
says that a Experience. Okay, so they were saying
I it's in a book book. They've they This is probably
what happened or so reportedly. Yeah 1994 in
Boone County multiple reports including former
Navy seamen spotting it kneeling to drink from
a creek before vanishing into the brush two children
seeing a six foot tall white bear -like figure
in their yard which fled when startled and women
glimpsing Glimpsing it on an icy mountain road
illuminated by headlights So so a bear like Figure
that ran away all like a bear. I wonder what
I wonder what the bear population In West Virginia
in West Virginia is I have bears in West Virginia.
You know what? Of course. It's it's like the
mountains I'm gonna wind out we're gonna do it
right now. Just I'll just Google it Bears in
West Virginia West Virginia is home to the American
black bear. Okay, there you go, but A lot of
these reportings are white possums, kind of like
white and gray. That makes more sense, but the
black bears are dark. I mean, they're black.
Yeah, but they're also like, I've seen brown
black bears. Brown black bears? Yeah, oh yeah,
yeah. Well, I mean, I don't think - Like, if
you go out to Northwest Track over here, down
the way, if you go look at the bears, they'll
have some black bears in there, but like one
of them - It's kind of brown, like that squim
game farm thing. Have you been there? No. Is
that a grizzly bear or a black bear? I don't
know. It's a big bear. I know that. It's a fat
bear. Because it eats all that bread. That's
bread all day long. Don't eat bread. It's obviously
not good for you because that bear is fat. It'll
sit there on a stump and wave at you. Oh, it's
super happy just like, hey, you got that bread.
Oh, yeah, bread all day long. It's as happy as...
Hell to just sit there on its ass literally sits
on its ass eating bread. We should go there and
investigate that I mean, I think if if I'm not
mistaken bears are a canine Type and are they
right? I think they're more related to dogs or
I should say dogs are probably Like a relation
somewhere to bears because I believe in the the
snout and the same kind of have a similar build
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean so dogs get mange Lose
their hair. Yeah hair turns turns. Well, right
That's where you get chupacabras. Yeah, but it's
maybe like it's a old sick bear Like fallout,
yeah. Yeah, the yow guai. Yeah I'm like Japanese
for bear. I think it's a play on words for yogi
like yogi the oh Well, it might be I don't know
cuz like I said, there's a Lamborghini is a ursis
Something I think it's you are us that means
bear in Russian some language. I don't remember
not English so Back to all right. So that was
1994 in Boone County Now a year later also in
Boone County a couple driving at night saw a
white beast on a roadside ditch describing as
having four eyes It lunged scratching their car
deeply before it sped away before they sped away
Well, yeah some giant hairy beast with four eyes
Yeah, where's the four eyes coming from? I don't
know Why four? Why four is like he had glasses
on is he see bad like That's just mean you're
good. I'm trying to think why what would give
it? I Don't know false eyes. It had reflective
false eyes on top of its eyes Okay look like
four. I don't know. I was wondering that too
like why all of this is like kind of explainable
so far Except for the four eyes and that's the
second account that they had with four eyes Yeah,
it'd be weird to see You know because glowing
eyes. Yeah, but like you saw you saw two obviously
two maybe they needed glasses. I don't know a
blur so Now that was 1995 in Boone County You're
gonna see a pattern here. That's about right
in Boone County. Also Boone County. Four years
later, six campers heard bear -like snorts near
their bonfire. Okay, bear. Bear -like. See, it
all depends on the play. Unless you tell somebody
something like, it was bear -like. And because
that's the closest thing I could explain. Well,
you know, so I don't know where they're coming
from. Oh, hold on. We'll just take a quick Break
here. Okay, there we go. All right. Well, we're
back on track So They're saying bear like and
if you're gonna argue like, okay. Well, it could
have not been a bear. Tell me first Okay, how
much of a bear expert are you? Because if you're
not one then i'm just gonna say it probably was
just a bear. Oh, I know because I remember somebody
talking about elk hunting and What I explained
because I hadn't been elk hunting and I've I've
seen things of yelp elk I've seen elk. Yeah,
and I was imagining in my head though, you know
something coming up and it just didn't see you
and you would think something just like Just
big and The guy was talking to is like no when
they do their bleeding thing. It's super high
-pitched Oh, yeah when they're doing their calls,
but I mean, I don't know. I'm just thinking it's
breath but Don't know I've never yeah really
been around once. So like you're saying have
you been around a bear you do, you know, I mean
The closest I've ever been to a bear is Northwest
Trek. Yeah, I got back and tell you what and
I couldn't hear it So no, you know, I've heard
obviously bear. Yeah sounds and stuff, but like
in real life. I don't know Anyway, these six
campers They're saying the creature charged from
the darkness chasing them to a nearby house stopped
at the forest edge Emitting a terrible scream
the next day their campsite and trail were churned
up like tilled soil So something was like digging
around and tearing stuff up bears do that. There's
do that Yeah, especially when they're looking
for like food and yeah, they smell your your
whatever you were cooking and yeah, yeah, yeah
You gotta put it up up in the tree and hang it
so they can't put it away from your campsite
and stuff. Yeah. Yeah Dumb yeah, and I mean like
we're not like berry experts that go bear hunting
or anything But this is just some kind of common
things, you know living out if I know this area,
you know this Yeah Yeah, so That sounds like
a bear. Yeah, the most recent account I've found
from 2015 from Got to pronounce this L here.
Oh, well folks run, Virginia. Okay, there's the
other f you LKS run fouls folks run Campers spotted
a nine to eight or eight to nine foot tall so
it gets bigger I've noticed throughout these
just as the years go on it gets well as you get
older you grow Yeah, camper spotted eight to
nine foot tall version crouching on a hill across
a river and waited downward towards them like
a bipedal dog with wet fur clinging to its chest.
Well, there's no bipedal dogs. I've never seen
a dog walk on two legs. Why is it a dog? Yeah.
Huh. And when nobody's reported. They said they
said the creature fled after hearing a distant
screech, letting out a pathetic whimper. That
sounds like a dog, dude, or a bear. Hold on.
You know what I need to redo this you need to
really be able to hear that hold up need to hit
the break on that And all of these reports they're
saying things that look like dog possum They
look very similar. It kind of depends on the
distance Yeah, I had a break there so clear the
throat None of them have explained what would
be a sheep squat with the horns in particular,
because I picture like the big ram horns or something
on it and it being bipedal, like a big foot,
but maybe looking more dog possum type figures
with the elongated snout and maybe the differently
hinged. limbs or something, but everyone's like,
yeah, it's a thing that sounded like a bear and
you know, it looked like one and it was rooting
around and trying to get our food and stuff,
but it was definitely a sheep squash. Yeah, then
I seen this thing and it hissed at me and it
played dead and it smelled really bad. It kind
of looked like a possum, but I'm pretty damn
sure it was a sheep squash. It was that goddamn
sheep squash. So I mean this the sightings inspired
a media like TV show called Mountain Monsters
Oh It looks like there's only one season though
one hunters were on one episode hunters built
a trap in Boone County and monsters and mysteries
in America as well as Books like Kurt McCoy's
white things West Virginia's weird white monsters
White things so okay. Yeah, so I have so credible
evidence in existence Evidence of existence none
the First sentence there is no significant forensic
evidence confirming the sea of squashes existence
No photos no video DNA samples footprints Captured
specimens all reports rely on eyewitness testimony
only which vary in details and lack corroboration
closest to physical evidence includes deep scratches
in a car within the 1995 attack and then torn
up campsite and trail in the 1999 That could
be anything. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I wanted to
find sheep squash. The people who actually investigate
these things, the cryptozoologists, have yielded
no proof. Often concluding with speculation,
skeptics dismiss it is folklore amplified by
West Virginia's rich cryptid tradition, such
as like the Mothman, stuff like that, with no
peer -reviewed studies or wildlife biology backing
it up. Well, it's you know, it kind of makes
sense It's it's just such in the woods all you
have is your small community Kind of reminds
me My dad and our family we'd all go camping
or something and just tell Stories in the back
of the truck bed. We weren't like we weren't
really camping. We just go out Like seriously
in the Olympic forest there and go park up there
and go watch the stars and hang out for the night
or whatever. And he just tell stupid, goofy stories
and stuff. But imagine that's all you have because
your community is 10, 50 people, something small.
You're all related. And you're all related. So
you guys are all like... So what do you have?
I'm picturing like the aliens from Mars Attacks.
So it's pretty easy to see where that could easily
turn into telling a story. So, you know, my dad
used to tell the story about Mountain Mike. All
right. It's not about you. Yeah, I know. And
I don't remember the whole story. It was just
really simple, but we're sitting in the back
of the truck and we're looking. Brokeback Mountain
Mike. Brokeback Mountain Mike. And that scared
the hell out of us. And none of us are homosexuals
anymore. So, anymore. Anymore. No, not what I
meant. What story -wise was, there was a guy
that lived up in the woods and everybody made
fun of him. And for some reason he had his hand,
it got cut off. And maybe that's why he went,
I don't remember the whole story, but he had
a hand and he stuck a knife in it and he would,
at night, he'd sharpen his knife. Sharpen his
hand knife? His hand knife. It's like scuzzle
butter or something. He had Patrick Duffy leg.
He had Patrick Duffy leg. Celery stock arm. Celery
for a hand. And he'd sharpen his knife up on
rocks. So sometimes at night you can see, you
can see the sparks flying off the rocks. All
right, dad. You know. And then at that point,
I'm sure he's like, Oh, do you see that or whatever?
And and that that was a story of mountain bike.
But how easy would that be to be, you know, telling
kids about sheep squash? Yeah. Especially back
then, when you have no way to like get on the
Internet and see if anyone else has seen it.
It's just your experience. Someone else's experience.
All of a sudden, it becomes this whole thing.
Yeah, that's kind of what it sounds like. Yeah,
some guy was probably. Trying to scare his kids
and get him shut up or something and told him
the story and they never forgot it and shut up
This could be a sheep squash. Yeah here go to
better the cheap swatch gonna get you Yeah, you
know, especially if you're out there hunting
and the kids, you know, you're trying to show
them how to hunt and they're just out there Damn
you're gonna get the cheap squat. Yeah. Yeah,
that's that sounds like something I would totally
do Yeah, that's it. That's a tactic max comparison
been doing forever with the kukui. No, you heard
of that? No, it's like the boogie man Okay, and
you're like you tell your kids you better go
to bed Cuckoo is gonna come get you take you
away. We're fall asleep Well, we don't do that
anymore there. Oh, that's mean and I used to
I used to think that way all the time like why
why do we tell our kids and if you if you grow
up with No one to tell you there's no such thing
as that. You're gonna be like, oh man I guess
I could better go to bed cuz I don't want the
cuckoo to get me. Yeah, but it but there is value
in that and I used to think It's so stupid that
we tell our kids there's a tooth fairy and if
you put your teeth under the pillow and or, you
know, the Easter bunny or Jesus. More South Park
references. So. There's value in telling kids
stuff like that because they a story like that
I think they hold on to. more than you need to
go to bed because you need to be rested in the
morning so you can be ready for school so you
can learn and you don't just live with me in
the basement and do a podcast like we're doing.
It's a much more effective tool. Exactly. It's
a lot easier to just be like, hey, if you don't
go to bed, you go to bed then. You want to die?
Keep testing me. It's not even me. Boogeyman
going to get you a cheap squash or whatever it
is. That makes a lot of sense. Yeah. Believers
theorize it could be undiscovered primate, a
mutated animal from the TNT area, which is a
former World War II explosive site in Mason County
linked to sulfur smells. Okay. Okay. Or even
a supernatural entity more plausibly skeptics
point to misidentifications. Yeah. Black bears
standing upright. With frost or mud lighting
the their fur. Okay. Yeah large dogs such as
wolves or feral sheep or Feral ram hybrids distorted
but by low light and fog or panic because people
freak out and they see Stuff that was never there.
Oh, yeah No, that never happens or or good old
-fashioned hoaxes or cultural stories common
and bleaching oral traditions Yeah, so Want to
believe and it does address fallout. Oh Well,
we got to hear about that. What about that pop
culture? It's featured as a tough enemy in fallout
76, but it's fictionalized It but that fictionalizes
it further while fan fascinating. Oh, man My
glasses just aren't cutting it anymore while
fascinating is regional lore the soup squash
remains familiar Firmly in the realm of myth
without credible proof If you're in West Virginia's
Hills, keep an ear out for those screams just
in case. So are there any items you can carry
that would increase your stats? Well, according
to fallout, if you if you do encounter a Sheep
Squatch and you kill it, you can take the quills
off it and you can craft items out of it. I don't
really remember. Or the skull. You can make a
weapon out of the skull. Oh, yeah, you've got
the Sheep Squatch staff. Yeah, yeah. Think I
had that and it's like this. I don't like it.
Mm -hmm, but you got to get that uh, that other
Shepard's crook though to lure it out. Oh Yeah,
yeah, cuz you had to do something with like the
cows we had cows around Yeah to a spot and then
the sheep squatch would appear and you'd have
to take it down. Yeah. Yeah Probably just play
that again. That's a good game a lot of fun.
They update it like they're still doing seasons
It's crazy that it didn't just die. Yeah, it's
it's it well when the show came out Oh, yeah,
you saw that didn't you? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, because
they're adding the show. Uh -huh. I was like,
oh, I might want to play. Nah. Did you see it?
Did you see the first season? Oh, the show? Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Because I remember you texted me
a long time ago like, hey, Fallout's going to
have a show. I'm like, awesome. It's going to
suck. It's going to be like Lord of the Rings
or some crap. Like, oh, man, maybe I'll be wrong.
And I was told, because it was super good. We
even had the kids watch it. I thought it was
good, too. It was good. I'm like, yeah. Wait
for the second one. So knowing what I know now
about the Sheep Squatch Whereas before I started
reading anything. I knew very little. I guess
we can I would have to say I don't think that's
a thing. I don't think the Sheep Squatch is really
a thing I think I think people are seeing bears
out there. Well, and you know, that's the whole
thing about sitting down and actually researching
some of that stuff is I Remember hearing about
it That could be a sheep squash right there the
whole coordinate though. Yeah, it was a dog sized
one Well, it was a thing the size of a dog. It
looked like a dog a bark like a dog Smelled like
a dog, but I'm pretty sure it was she squashed
naturally obviously definitely a sheep squad
that that's the thing about the Unknown I didn't
know anything about that and you start looking
at it like well, where does this even come from?
There's there's not even a person That pulled
up that Said it had horns. Mm -hmm, but reportedly
it's got horns as sheep. So I was like a lot
of a lot of nonsense Kinda it's kind of disappointing
and by the way, if anyone out there has any kind
of Sheep squat story. I'd love to hear it. Oh
Yeah, you're gonna have a tough time convincing
me now, but Tell me what you got You got pictures,
some hair, quills. If you made the staff out
of it. Wait, why does sheep squash have quills?
I don't know, but they would shoot them at you.
Yeah, but why do they have quills? Probably a
porcupine element to it. Then that's a porcupine
squash. Porcupine squash. I don't know. But yeah,
you're right. I'm going to have a hard time believing.
Just saying Bigfoot. Hey, there's something there
could be some sort of hidden ape. We just never
seen seems pretty unlikely. But that doesn't
mean that it can't be a thing either. And I could
be totally ignorant about this, too, and just
not realize what I'm saying. But I feel like
the East Coast probably doesn't have the West
Coast. Would say has probably still a lot of
like totally undiscovered untouched wilderness
out there. Oh Yeah, I can't imagine it's really
like that a whole lot in the East Coast that
area because that because people have been living
in those areas Like settled it and lived it for
centuries. Yeah, I West Virginia is a really
Mountainous nobody lives there either. So West
Virginia is it interested? We were looking at
moving there at one point. It's like, well, this
place is super cheap because nothing's there.
It's really pretty there. I've seen pictures
of it and it looks really pretty. It looks like
Washington, but it's East Coast Washington. And
apparently Pennsylvania is kind of like that
too. Yeah. It's like, hey, if you could get a
house super cheap there, but what would you do?
And you start looking it up and there's a few
larger jobs. Yeah. Well, I mean, there's the
capital. And a few other towns that are bigger,
you know 50 60 ,000 people so there's large towns,
but there isn't even a Costco There's not one
cost there's no bus, Virginia. No, I was like
what the and I look like why don't you have a
Costco? There's just Not really a huge man. Not
worse Costco's effort, huh? Basically. I'm like,
yeah, that's That sucks. I could just go work
at Costco But they didn't have one so we didn't
go so you see you're still here Yeah, so here
we are just doing doing whatever and looking
into Bigfoot in our off time. Someone's got to.
Well, if we don't, who's going to some idiot?
Yeah, I'm an idiot. I can do that. Two dummies
get together and try to do it. Those are good
microphones, dude. What the hell was that? Did
you hear that? Did you hear that? It was like
a, it was like a dude. Who is getting these airplane
hauntings? It's a ghost plane. It's a ghost.
It's a ghost plane. It's a haunted plane floating
by the liquor store owner. Crash is playing drunk.
That's patrolling the skies looking for drunk
drivers, flyers, drunk flyers. You know, the
start in the show we really wanted to do. any
sort of, I didn't know how to label conspiracy
specific. I think that might be a little too
broad. However, any sort of cryptid or haunting
or just mysterious thing, I felt like that's
a good direction to go. So there's where we are.
However, it seems like the cryptid thing is,
they make me laugh most of the time. It's like
also, You know, a liquor store owner was flying
his plane. Yeah. What? Okay. This story is totally
believable. All the reporting's about sheep squasher.
Well, it's the thing that looked like a dog or
it looked like a possum. None of these stories
said anything like, oh man, it was like, it looked
like a giant sheep or it looked like a giant
Bigfoot. No. Like you could have at least...
No one said that. Just, oh, it was a big white...
the thing that came at us and it clawed the car.
Like, okay, well, I guess that's something, but
you never took a picture of the car? I don't
know. Maybe we don't have a full report. It could
be possible. It's a lack of effort on our end,
but you know what? Like I said, if anyone's out
there got a Sheep Squad story, I'd love to hear
it. Oh yeah, contact us at yetiornot .com. Eventually.
That'll work. Well, I would technically I think
you can email us. Yeah, we do have an email Yeah,
so you could email Dustin at yeti or not doc
Yo, it's a whole thing. It's Dustin at yeti or
not Here we come calm. Okay, it's a whole thing
a lot Yeah, well That was the name of the show
yet or and yeah, you're not sure so calm. All
right. Yeah, choose an email Tell us your story
or don't or you can send us money, too Oh, yeah,
just send me money and then you will stop talking
if you like what we're doing I would love to
continue doing it, but you're gonna have to give
me some money Yeah, you know if we got enough
we'd probably just not do it Not really No, I'd
probably continue because it's pretty fun. I'll
do this for sure. I don't I don't really know
we're just Kind of shooting this at this point.
Yep, cuz Sheep squash let us down another disappointing
nothing burger Yeah, well, it's just one thing
we can cross off the list. Yeah, well, I guess
it's just kind of how it rolls sometimes. So
instead of sitting here and trying to figure
out what we're talking about anymore, we'll just
go ahead and cock it, load it, and get out of
here.
