s414- SEA BEASTS!

0:00 Check out The Dread Excidibus, the new podcast we got going on. It's scripted fiction. It's really fun. I've been working hard on that one too, And we will see you soon on the next episode of the Kentucky X Files. So take care of each other and we'll see you. Hm.

0:50 I can probably go into his origin story a little bit. Hang on, I want to say you that I guess, I guess I understand the name. Look at him, that was him in the beginning. That's just the baby at I mean, he is pretty adorable. He is. And then he was like, don't you don't know? Don't don't you say that that thing is cute and it's a murderer, that that little cute little thing grew up to be a murderer. Why'd you do that? What? I clicked the wrong picture? The timing, The timing was fantastic. I was trying.

1:37 It's weird. So that brings me to another conspiracy here. What are we doing? Perhaps o Jay is part of Octopus okay, mm hm mhm. Or they missed an opportunity by naming him Cute Doolu instead of Ojay because he's orange horseshoes. Oj You know what I mean it's a stretch. It's just stretch. It's a stretched Yeah. I wonder what he's thinking looking at this dude though. He's like, God, if you were a fucking shark, dude, He's like, if this, like this barrier wasn't in my way, I would have squeeze your head until it pops out. What if you're walking through there at night doing you know, doing like maintenance or some janitorial stuff and this thing just pounced on you. Take a look at this thing. Whoa, Yeah, that's a big old bastard right there. That's a big en. I know there's a little force person spective in there, but that is still a big damn octopus. They do they look alien?

3:07 Yeah? Yeah, h too much like a spider. Not that it's just uh well, I I hate the open ocean because they don't know what's Yeah, like stuff like that can just pretty under. Yeah the ocean's yeah, it's it's something. Yeah, here we go. Let me. It's not meant for us. Like, I'd be screwed if water World happen. The only way I would survive if Kevin Costner was there, Costa Camick guys there try and land is not a moth. I've seen it. That was a good movie. Man. They really fucking people really like ship on that one.

4:13 But I liked it. I think when it came out recently it would have done really well. Yeah what is this ship? It's just six dollars. It's only a year. Man, I'm trying to get you to subscribe. I'm not I'm not subscribing to your ship. I was trying to see that see that picture? No nope, I did it go off? Okay, yeah, yeah, okay, So this top right picture is what I'm looking at here. I can't I can't see it any further. Mm hmm. That sucks. Yeah. That's our that's our cephal pods. All right, that's all of them. I mean, if you think about biodiversity, they themselves definitely add to the larger scale of things. But they are the only ones that evolved this way. And you think, like all life on Earth, like, that's a very tiny group and that's the only isn't Isn't that the only creature that actually has tentacles? Yeah? Uh, don't jellyfish have tentacles? Oh yeah, but I thought they couldn't move those. Yeah.

5:36 I don't think they're articulable. Yeah, I don't know. I know that, don't The tentacles are what stings the ship out of you, don't they? Dude? You can even you can step on one. You can step on a dead one on the beach and it will sting the ship out of you. Yeah, it's like it just touches you and it like yah. Yeah, clid bees don't have that. They actually have to put some work in, you know what I mean. And that's just a weird creature, really strange evolutionary path, that's for sure. Yeah. Uh yeah.

6:23 When you think about like all the species of every everything else that's out there, the four cephalopods is not a lot at all. It's weird. Yeah what what thing? That thing that cracks me up too is that Uh I still love this is that the giant squid was was like made up right and now we're like, well about that? Yeah yeah? And then yeah, what was the whale? There was a whale that showed up with gigantic tentacle burns on it. Yeah, it's like, uh, what the fuck grabbed him? You know what I mean? I think like out of all like all these like giant creatures ever like depicted that we've seen. I feel like the plausible ones are more in the ocean because they like, the ocean is like you gotta think of like the food source it has to have, yeah, for it being that big, the ocean is just by far a mortgage board, Like it's a buffet twenty four to seven yeah all the time.

7:31 So like it's not gonna lose food. Yeah. The only thing that would ever lose food is like if there was thousands upon thousands of these giant creatures in the ocean. But I don't think they're that many. But for the most part. Yeah, Okay, so check this out. This is a giant whale with tentacle burns on him. Wow. See that ship? Yeah okay. And then this one showed up recently and because they were like I guess they were speculating like what it was. And then this guy shows up and it's like, oh, the tentacles still stuck to him. Fucking tentacles still stuck to him, And we don't and we don't know what portion of that is. You know. Now it looks like it looks like the tip of it yeah, yeah, tapers off. Yeah, but like we don't show how long up. Yeah, broken off like it could continue another eight feet for all we know. What was that one? Like I thought there was one that was measured it was like twenty seven feet. Yeah, yeah, what was the biggest the biggest one they've seen so far. Yeah, it's like four hundred thousand miles, just like the caves. Fifty nine feet is the largest squid we've seen so far. Wow, and they got a

9:03 picture of him. Hang on. This makes you wonder how did that tenable get tore off? I don't know, but barrel, I mean, it's in the water, you know what I mean, Like you're stuck to him. You're just gonna roll around with him, wouldn't you. What if like what if the whale realized that's the squid right there by the way, that's footer. Yeah, it's a big God. I wish we had some perspective. I know, there's like this big thing right here. I guess that's how they baited it up or whatever. Yeah, I don't know. But see, that's why that's one why I don't like the ocean. Yeah, It's like, dude, that would be my luck. I'd just be out in the middle of the ocean join live fishing and that thing just capsized my boat. I mean, look at the size of that one, right, Yeah, hell to the motherfucking know. Yeah, dude, I like that they're they're so big that they they're so goddamn big. Now that they have several different classifications of them, right, there's like colossal squids, Now there's giant squids. Colossals are even bigger than giants. Huge motherfuckers. Yeah, squids, Nope, I am not ever getting in the ocean side squids.

10:35 Yeah, Like, the classification keeps going up, and I know they they term the term kraken is meant for a squid bigger than the colossal, right, yeah, and uh yeah, we're at the point now where they're like, yeah we have those two. That's a diver on needs of it. Wow. It was fucking crazy. Dude, he's just swimming. He's like, Hey, what's up, squid? Like do they not like is this like a whole shark thing? Like the sharks really don't actually like us.

11:20 They just think that we're a certain like they think we're like a seal or something. That's why the attack us. I can't help but think that this squid is dead, it's moving, it's yeah, it looks like it's shedding. Yeah, that's rough, doesn't it. Yeah? Yeah, I guess so two point five meter giant squid. Well, that's impossible. Nobody knows what meters are. Last week, myself working on side eating what's this guy?

12:05 What's this guy got? He's uh, look at that ship. That's scary as hell. Yeah, was the first person. But from these little clips, look at that and it's gone. It comes up like checks it out and it's like, Okay, yeah, it's pretty fucking crazy that ship is actually there. That's that ship is swimming around right now. That's kind of like what I'm saying is like, I know that we've kind of like we went over it a long time ago, and we even like went over it, uh like a bit. We thought we found some new evidence, but the lock this monster like or something similar to it. Like, I know that we've kind of in a way debunked it, and I really don't want to bring up how we like debunked that on our in I feel like people will know if they've actually seen some of the Yeah, but uh, it's it's believable, like things like that could survive. Don't you think something like that type of creature. Honestly, I think that, like this is why somebody would say like that, there's no way there's a lot in this

13:35 monster, But in the back of their mind they're like, well is there yeah, like fuck, you know, I don't know. Yeah, it's the ship that you see them discovering all the time. It's like the maybe. I mean, you guys seen those like fucking groupers that are like the size of a goddamn volkswagon. Yes, those things are huge. It's like, dude, he don't got to worry about sharks. He eats the sharks. Yeah, the goliath grouper. Yeah. I'm like, yeah, those things are unreal, Like people are terrified as sharks, but sharks aren't the only thing in the ocean that is like, yeah, people are food.

14:22 Dude, watching him divers and there's there's giant, giant groupers coming up to him, I'm like, oh god, he gonna get eight or the sunfish yeah, oh dude, Yeah, the sunfish is enormous. Yeah, isn't it the heaviest, heaviest bony fish. Thanks so yeah, yeah sunfish? Yeah, that's it. Yeah. I watched a video recently where these people they reeled one in they got one, and this was crazy because this thing was massive, like it would have been a record breaker, and they got it. Uh, they got it out of the water. And when they finally hoisted this this thing up, it hit a gigantic bite taken out of it and it was like, you know what I mean, like, what what ate that? That thing's massive? Yeah, that would be my cue to leave. Yeah. Do you guys notice that great white sharks are getting bigger? I mean, I don't know. I don't know that they're actually getting bigger, But it seems like every year there's a new report where they're like, oh, yeah, I knew, twenty eight footer was spotted off of the coast of California. Here's the video, right, And it's like

15:56 I can remember like a few years ago them being like, do you we found a twenty footer? Right? It's like, damn, that's a big as shark. Dude, that's twenty feet long. That's that's a big old what's some bitch? What's the size of a like the megalodon? Oh god, the megalodon was what fifty feet something like that? Yeah? Wow, it was was it the size of like a whale? Yeah? It says the larger specimens were fifty eight point seven feet long. Yeah, that's crazy. Do you think, Uh, do you think any of those still exist?

16:40 I fucking hope not the shit. I'm just saying, we only need Jason Stathum. That's true. That's true. They said that the scientists scientists accept the estimates for the megalodon's maximum size. Uh, you know, millions of years ago between the seventy and one foot at their max out repeat that last part. Seventy two hundred feet would be the absolute biggest specimens. That's a big shark. That's like I take a boat out there. Mm hmmm.

17:22 Well you think how big the mouth would have to be on a creature that size. I've seen fucking pictures of like the people standing in the mouth of Like said, I don't know if that's like a I don't know if that was like for something like dinosaur was like it was I can't remember, like, but I'm pretty sure like the the shape of it looked like the jaws of a Yeah, shark thought it was a reproduction of it because that's the only thing we have is teeth. Yeah, we don't have anything else, not that I'm aware of because the bones uh don't vibe and salinated water. Ah, okay, they dissolve. Do you guys know why the Megalodon made it? It was so successful. It's literally because there was no giant killer whales. That makes sense. If there would have been giant killer whales back then, that we wouldn't even we probably wouldn't even know about the Megalodon at all. Right, Yeah, so I don't hope you guys have seen any of that ship. But uh, there's like killer whales right now that they're watching that. They're like following and studying, and these killer whales literally find the biggest great whites they can and just kill them. Yeah. I'm like I was gonna say, you can't. You can't argue that their name isn't right. Yeah, they're hunting killer whales and they're attacking vessels. Yeah

18:59 they're coming o. Yeah, there's the one here. There was one I saw. It was a video. Yeah. Yeah, hopefully I didn't already send you guys this, because dude, this is crazy. This killer whale literally finds great white sharks and just fucks them up. Like it's like, you know, like you're bored, you know what I mean? Like I'm just swimming around, man, I'm like, you know, oh, there's a shark and then boom, holy shit. Yeah, the shark was like oh shit, look at that, dude. Barely I had time to react.

19:53 Yeah, apparently this this great. This killer whale just completely enjoys just demolishing fucking sharks. That's an EERI site right there, in my opinion. Yeah, just out there, join your crews, and then all of a sudden your boats surrounded by killer whales. Yeah, is that a piece of the boat looks like it. That guy's in a little raft, a little blow up raft, dude, could you imagine what the act You're out there in a little canoe, you know, just like paddling. They're probably like, look at this as motherfucker. Right, let's freak him out. You want to kill him? Nah, no, let him be. We'll scaring the death watch and yeah, come up close to him. Likes up.

20:55 Man. Are there any instances of whales killing people out of captivity? I know that in captivity they move those things around like Catholic priests. Yeah, it says that there's not really even It says, even though they are absolutely formidable animal, there's been no documented cases of killer whales attacking a human being in the wild. Right, So maybe we're just like I don't know, maybe they just like look at us and they're like, nah, I'm not kinda I'm not gonna kill a little stupid His name will just be in the water, you know what I mean. Right, I'll tell you what.

21:44 It's a it's a bad day to be a seal out in the ocean. I'd hate to be a seal. Yeah, they'll straight up turn your fucking uh. I've seen them when they broke the ice. Didn't flip them out into the water to eat them. I'm like, that's not fair, right, Or will they play with them or they'll launch them up out of the water. Yeah, it's fucking crazy, dude, evil bastards. Is it safe to Is it safe to swim with Orcas says here. They are usually friendly to humans, or they may just be indifferent to you, but they usually won't harm you unless you do something to stress them out. Oh oh there are rules. Wow. They stressed me out just being or being next to me, Like like, okay, I won't stress you out. You just fuck right off. Yeah, A couple thousand pounds of muscle just floating out there in the water. Yeah, with teas here. Captive orcas have killed four people. Three were done by the same orca. Yeah yeah, te leak them. Yeah, that's the one that kept moving around. Yeah.

23:06 Uh whatever did he did Telekam die or is he still around? I'm not sure. I wonder if I wonder if somebody has a record of that. I'd like to know what happened to Teleika. Didn't they rename him too? Yeah? Probably? Yeah? Oh yeah, he died. He died twenty seventeen in sea world. That's a bummer. Uh yeah, it says uh wow man. Yeah, Teleakam he returned to performing in twenty eleven, but they were no longer Uh, they were no longer in the pool with him. Yeah, not so that they didn't they put they wouldn't put hands on him anymore. So you'd high pressure water hoses to massage, hum and stuff as so fucked man, you'd almost think that just leaving them in the wild would have been the smarter move here, right. He died of a lung infection due to bacterial pneumonia. That's a bummer. Yeah. I think it's it's crazy because it's like the whole sea world thing, you know,

24:37 and all that and the treatment of the orcas and you know, uh, keeping them in captivity, and it's like you kind of go back to the beginning there, start with the name killer whale, and then your thought is, we need to capture one of these and train it. Right, this is going to be badass. What's the worst that can happen? It's like a big dolphin, no big deal. And then you know it turns out killer whales like to be free. Yah. Even I mean they even figured out that the brain of the killer whale, he does feel trauma, they do feel depression. Yeah, they feel the basic self awareness of any of those type of animals, you know what I mean. Yeah, there's like there's telltale signs too, and they're like where the dorsal fin starts laying over and yeah, things like that. I just saw that picture his dorsal fin laid over. I wonder how long into his life that happened, Like when that started. I think I saw a documentary on him like maybe five months ago, and I want to say, by the time he killed his second person, it was laying over, so it didn't take long. That's crazy.

26:11 This is kind of weird. Tommy Lee of Motley Cruz actually was on the forefront of battling SeaWorld to get the color whales released back into the wild. I did not know this. He wrote a letter to the president of SeaWorld, Terry Prether, saying that he referred to to Leakham as SeaWorld's chief sperm bank, and he said, I hope it doesn't take another death for SeaWorld to realize it shouldn't frustrate these smart animals by keeping them confined in tanks.

26:56 Wait, he goes Tommy Lee, Holy shit, I did not know that. I mean, yeah, that's pretty cool. I had no idea. He was like, you know, actually actively, you know, against it or whatever. Right, it's pretty badass. Yeah, it's fucking sad though. They should. They should fucking they should leave the leave the fuckers in the wild man. You know why because who the fuck else is gonna take out all those sharks? Right? Yeah, we need them. Killer whales are out there doing a job for everybody. You know, you're gonna jump in the water killers, Like hold up there, the little guy, let me go take a look first. Yeah, And he's like he's like you're okay, I'll let you swim in a minute. And he's just touching your face with his little flipper, his big clipper, so it's like your whole face, thank you, killer whale. Why are all these like not killers but aliens killer whales? They just that's how they communicate my face touches.

28:11 Oh think I like this? Well, I feel like we're trailing off here, So yeah, I think I think we need we need to get out of here. This is this is crazy. This got all kinds of wacky. That's what they call us the Waggy X Files. So by the time this end of this episode drops, it'll be about the time that some other things should be dropping. Right, Let's just leave it at that. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because that's one two, about three weeks away. I uh, okay, this is gonna sound kind of dicky, but I'm like, I'm afraid to announce it based on events.

29:07 Yes, but we have seen the product. Yeah, okay, one way or another, that ship's getting released on May third, you actually get to see it. Was how many episodes ago was we talking about this? There was the flast year. Yeah, so last year at some point we brought up to you guys out there that we went down and we recorded some music at this place called the Monsterpiece Theater with the band Rector, and those videos are finally getting put up, so you'll either see them on Monsterpiece Theaters YouTube channel you can look that up, or if they force our hands, we do have possession of the videos at this point, we have them, so yeah. Other things to check out would be, yeah, definitely check out Monsterpiece Theater around May third. I heard that was the date I was given.

30:17 May third is gonna be the first song put up, and then they're gonna go after that. What else we got? What else we got? Dread excidibus stuff. There will be all kinds of news stories coming. We're going to try to up a little bit more as we go along. Me and Ty have picked to fucking like most detailed stories to work on at the same time, so they're taking longer, so look to look out for that. They might even be out already by the time you see this. I don't know, but uh yeah, so check that shit out. Check out the boys there before told fiction. Them guys are doing their thing. That ship's great. Jason Voice actor, he just got married. I saw so congratulations to him. That's gonna be way after the fact. But yeah, I haven't got anything else. Guys, you guys got anything else to plug?

31:15 I got nothing. I like toast, he likes toast. Folks. Remember, walk up to somebody and touch their face. Don't touch their face, especially if you don't know them, touch the face, don't touch Nope. Can we just end this because yeah, yeah, it take care out there. We'll see you. Well, he just interrupting. We should have all did our thing at the end at the same time on that all right, It just it just keeps going. It's like, okay, click that button because we're just going to keep continuing this. Yeah, yeah, I gotta do some editing. I gotta do all this stuff. We gotta you know, we've gotta get all the face touching in. It's gonna be great.

32:07 Yeah, tacos
