The Quintet Factor, with Rhys, Derby, and David Fadriar
Hello and welcome to The Quintet Factor, we're in 2015 now, it's about 11.55pm
We're on the whiskeys, we've got pies, minced pies, that's a delicious treat we have here in New Zealand
You just introduced this with no day of the week or month or date
Well no, it's a podcast
Just 2015 and 11.15 at once
You don't give too much detail because when people go back into the archives, they don't want to think, God, how old's this?
No, we don't want to date it too much, just a little bit, so I've gone for the year and the exact time
And that's the way to do it
You're so behind the scenes, he's the guy pulling the strings, and he's the kind of guy, you go to a play
And Buttons is the guy that can see the wires, you know, and he points out, oh look, you can tell that she's not really floating with the umbrella
There's why, you know, there's relativity, right? We have to keep things real
But it's about imagination, you know, that's what the whole show's about
And you think over the years of doing this podcast, Leon, you would have developed a bit of an imagination, you know?
My imagination would scare you
My imagination would give you nightmares
It actually does sometimes when you do
Buttons, it's so good to have you here, as always, you're pushing the buttons
You've got us all mic'd up here in Auckland City
Reese is flowing back to New Zealand from Los Angeles just for this podcast, actually, just for this recording tonight
I'm in the same room, guys
Woohoo!
Which is a crazy thing
Touching flesh
Touching flesh
Oh, God, that feels good
Oh, that was a terrible high five
If only people could see what's happening right now
Well, they can without new webcams I've set up
Have you?
No
Imagine that
This is the internet's best podcast about cryptozoology
We try and round up the weirdest and most interesting news from around the world
Focusing, of course, on cryptozoology, the science and the study of hidden animals
Where should we start? Buttons? What do you reckon, producer?
Well, let's start with our favourite segment
Weekly World Weird News
Crazy, freaky, watch out
Right, well
You see, what have you got Buttons? What have you got?
What's been going on in the world?
Okay, so I've got some personal news to share with you both
Oh
This is probably more for the segment of eyewitness accounts
Okay, so do you want to wait for that then?
Or are you bursting with excitement to reveal this information?
Okay
Is there something to do with Bruce Jenner?
What have you done to yourself?
No, okay, you're going to have to guide me on this then
She's hot
It's about ghosts
I know we don't do ghosts
We don't do ghosts
Buttons, ghosts
Okay, stop
Ghosts are bullshit, ghosts are out
But you've got to stop for a second because you've got to hear what I'm saying
It's a personal story about ghosts
I've seen a ghost
Really?
Yes
When recently?
Okay, yes, very recent
Do you want it now or should we save it for eyewitness accounts?
Well, I think you've built up a nice teaser
Let's leave it for eyewitness accounts
Let's leave it for now and we'll bring it back
For the one or two people that are interested in ghosts
They're going to stay tuned right till the end
They'll be with you till the end
If you're not, then I guess when he does reveal that
You could probably tune out
We'll keep it till the end
Well, I guess in weekly, world-weird news
I thought I'd go for something incredibly local
That's interesting to both the people of New Zealand and people beyond
And that's a big headline that rippled through the papers today
Government isn't likely to limit the number of cats people can own
Oh
So it's a big call by the government
The government
It's a big call by the government
Namely John Kea, our Prime Minister
Who's, there was the Conservation Minister
Maggie Barry suggested that there should be a rule here in New Zealand
That you can only own one cat
That if that went into law, then it would mean
Supposedly the number of birds been killed by cats would decrease
Yeah
But you know, a lot of people here in New Zealand, we love cats
Yes
I don't know, I've owned cats, have you guys owned cats?
I love cats, I'm a cat man
You're a cat man
It caused a bit of alarm, this idea that New Zealanders could only own one cat
So the Prime Minister's come up today and said, don't worry
There's going to be no change of legislation
New Zealanders can own as many cats as they want
Wow, so that's exciting
So that was a big, big bit of debate today
We were close to being a one cat per family
It was on the table
Wow
Well no, that's the debate, whether it was per person or per family
I imagine per family would have been the most logical thing
Because people could get that wrong and every person could have thought
Oh jeez, we'd better get a cat
Everyone has to have a cat each
You know, because we often don't read our headlines properly
No, we breeze through
You just do a skim
And next thing you know, we're full of cats
And what I don't understand, I'm going to show this photo to you guys
But there's a photo in the paper of John Key with a cat
I can't tell if it's real or photoshopped
Oh wow
Do you think that's our Prime Minister grabbing a cat or is that a photoshop job?
I don't care if it is photoshopped
I don't care though because it is beautiful
And it goes to show once again
Just like how we were ridiculed about our Prime Minister
I'm eating them
Folks, he's eating a pie
Now normally he has big pauses while he's talking
Now they're even longer because he's eating a pie
Shoving a pie then is right
We're sitting here late at night, we're hungry
Back to my point
What was your point, did you have a point?
Well, only a month ago or so
Our Prime Minister, dear John, was touching girls ponytails
Ponytailgate
And now he's cuddling cats
People are going to look at our country and think that we're somewhat of a joke
Oh we're already a bit of a, you know
We're a bit of a joke but I think actually, you know, we're a novelty
And we're eccentric and I don't think there's anything wrong with that
Especially when we're not doing a show about that kind of stuff
Now, from cats to snakes
Yeah, a realtor has been accused of selling snake infested homes
Not again
Yeah
So, Annapolis
Have you heard of that?
Well, it's a place
So Annapolis
Yeah, Annapolis
It's in the States
Is that how you say it?
It's Annapolis
Annapolis
It's Anna with the police at the end of it
Annapolis
It's Annapolis
There's a couple there that say that their real estate agent knew their future home
Was infested with snakes but sold it to them anyway
Oh, that's a dirty trick
The Capital Gazette reports that Geoff and Jody Brooks filed a $2 million lawsuit two weeks ago
They say their family was driven out because the home was crawling with snakes
That's actually awful, isn't it?
Yeah, no
That's worse than buying a leaky home
They've missed a trick there
What trick have they missed?
They shouldn't have sued
They should have gone straight to Hollywood from Annapolis
Yeah
And sold that story as a movie script
That's an amazing script
Oh, don't worry, it'll come out
It's coming out
Look, the Brookses, they're the couple
They say the exterminators found black rat snakes, snake skins, dens, tunnels and feces
Oh, that's actually terrifying
It makes you wonder how much of a look-through they did before they bought it though
Do you want to have a look inside just before you purchase it?
No, we can see from here
Looks all right, that's about the size of it
What's that noise there?
That'll be nothing, it's a cricket, is it?
What a snake poo, looked like anyway
Is it long?
Is it like a snake?
Little tiny dollops
Imagine being Harry Potter
And being able to understand snake language in that house
You'd be in there, you'd be all these conversations, you'd be like, shut up
I mean, we laugh though, don't we?
But Leon, you've got a family
If you moved into a new home and you found out there were snakes everywhere
It'd be terrible, wouldn't it?
It's a real problem
I would get a bit clever about it
It's worth pointing out to our listeners
Clever would you, Leon?
Sell tickets, sell tickets to
He turns a bad into a good every time, this guy
You do, you're our Mr Positive
It is worth pointing out that we don't have snakes in New Zealand, listeners
So to us, snakes are almost mythological
I tell you, I'd be able to sell tickets to my house, that's what I'm saying
In New Zealand here, come and see the snakes
They'll be like, what? Snakes in New Zealand?
They'll be like, let me in?
Did I tell you about that time I rode over a snake in Thailand?
On a push-bike?
I was on a scooter on my honeymoon
Oh God
And I saw it on the road and it was a colourful rope-looking object
So my mind thought, oh, someone's left a fancy-looking rope out on the road
Fancy leaving a rope like that of that quality
Probably hand-woven, painted by a young child
So I rode over it thinking, oh, if I'd do anything, do it
And as soon as I did, I heard a bit of a noise
And then my wife, who was on the back, Rosie, she patted me on the...
I said, oh, someone left a rope out and she patted me on the shoulder
I said, I think it was a snake
You've just caught a snake
So I pulled over, got off the scooter
Worth pointing out, as I got off, hit her off it as well
It's all...
If you've heard the story, it's in my stand-up
And the way these guys are laughing, they've never seen me lie
But I went over to it and there it was, the snake cut in two
Oh, straight down the middle
Straight down the middle, killed my first snake
And of course, what do you do, you know, it could be a rare one
It could be, you know, it could be endangered
So I took both halves of it and shoved them into my pockets
And ran into the...
Are you serious?
Ran into the jungle and sort of scattered them individually
So anyway, let's move on
That's your weird cover-up
It's the panic
Yeah, it's a panic
The police are gonna come across you
Did you call that snake?
Nothing worse than a panic cover-up
Panic cover-up
That's the type of my new...
Shallow grave, yeah
Shallow grave
I should have just left it
But no, I found I should do something
It was a wonderful thing to do
There was snake innards in my pockets and all sorts of stuff
That is amazing
Yeah
Okay, well, I've got some news here
I've got some news
No ghosts, come on
Japan has a new resident as well as a new tourism ambassador
It's exciting in itself
But can you take a guess as to who they have made their new tourism ambassador
And a new resident
I would guess
And actual paperwork
I would guess
I'd guess Godzilla
You're such a prick
No, but it's a really good story
It is
Godzilla is now officially a resident of Japan
And their tourism ambassador
So take us through what this means
Okay, so the famous monster that we all know
One of the very first cult icon, I guess, cryptozoological beasts
Completely
And one of the most iconic of all time
And certainly the first one for it
Has been made officially a resident of Japan
Have paperwork for it
Godzilla famously thought it was sort of a monster
But it protected Japan from other creatures
But still caused a heck of a lot of destruction
He did cause a lot of damage in the process
In the process, he killed a lot of people
But that's the best part about him is he is a good guy
Yes
Well, actually, I think he started off as a baddie
And then became a goodie
Or perhaps it was one of his sons
No, it's exactly it
Maybe one of his sons
Right, so it's sort of a town icon now
Or as a country icon
Is it the whole of Japan?
Is it just Tokyo?
No, the whole of Japan
He's granted Godzilla's been granted special residency
For the purpose of promoting the entertainment of and watching
Over the Kabuki Cho neighborhood
And drawing visitors from around the globe
In the form of Godzilla
He had built atop the Shinjuku Tohu building
Is the official purpose
Well, you lost me a couple of sentences ago
It's one big sentence, is the problem
I think it's fantastic
I just wonder whether it will have the same impact
As Nessie does
Because, you know, there's a chance
There's a hope that there is, you know
You might get a glimpse
You might get a glimpse
Whereas Godzilla?
It's entirely fictional
True
But you never know with the Japanese
I reckon they'll probably create something
That could, you know, thunder down the main street
In the middle of the night
They have had some further radiation problems
Since Godzilla was a big deal
So, you know, who knows
There might be something for them
I wonder if they blame him
Some people in Japan may blame, you know
Godzilla or will hope that Godzilla will come
Indeed to their rescue
When these kind of massive natural disasters happen
Yeah, you know, it does have some legitimacy
There's, um, dinosaurs could be reincarnated
Through DNA that have been, you know, has been found
And there's every chance that through, you know
Interbreeding with elephants
I'm spinning here a little bit
I think you're spinning
I think it's best we, you know
No, but you've got to admit with, you know
If they can extract some DNA
All those Japanese elephants
That we're very familiar with
Okay, okay
Best I jump in here with my last bit of
Weirdness for the week
And I'm just going to sort of read the first paragraph
Of this article
Do you like stories about UFOs, ghosts, bigfoot lake monsters
Near-Earth experiences and old conspiracy theories?
Do we all do?
I'll put my hand up
And do you also find it hard to meet like-minded folks
Who are into the same fringy things?
Oh, I know where this is going
Tell me about it
Perhaps even someone with whom you could start a relationship with
Oh, this is music to my ears
Get ready
Oh, here we go
For ParanormalDate.com
Oh, I'm so into this
I'm into this
Oh, yeah, shut the bed
I know it's like to try and look for someone
That you want to spend the rest of your life with
But it's not that easy
Society is at a point now
Where you don't want to meet other people in a bar
Says George Norrie, co-founder, ParanormalDate.com
Digital and dating has turned into
Billions of people online all over the world
Looking for that special person
It's amazing to me how digital has created the ability
For people to get to know each other before they even meet
Wow
How do I, where do I sign up?
Well, you just sort of basically go to ParanormalDate.com
And it's a whole lot of people that are into the Paranormal
Wow
And you know, you've got profile pictures up there
You know, you could meet someone, Leon
You, Leon, could meet another person
To get to kiss these people and stuff?
You can kiss them if you like
Really?
Yeah, you know, they've still got to give you permission to do it
But you've still got to stick by the usual rules, don't you?
Actually, you know, going on a date
You know, buying them a meal
You can't just go in with your tentacles
And your weird suckers
And sort of, you know, latch onto their neck
And go, oh, I'm from another realm!
You know, and hope that they're into it
Ah, I'm a rock monster
Not exactly
Or perhaps you, maybe you'd want to date a ghost
With your new little ghost friend
Generally, this would be people
I went out with a ghost once
But I saw a straight thrower
You know, she was...
Noises generally
This will be for people who are interested in the unusual
The mysteries
So it's really not for anybody who's just looking for a date
Yeah
If they're not interested in the genre
Or the topics, it's probably a wasted time
That's a niche, that's a double niche, isn't it?
I think, well, this world is bigger than, you know
People are willing to give it credit for
And I think, if there was a website there
Where there was boxes that you could tick
You know, is my potential partner into
Bermuda Triangle
Chupacabra
Fairies
You know, Alien Moon Base
And then the other person will
It'll come up on their site
Oh, hang on, I like all of that
But I don't believe in aliens
I'm not going out with you
So close, we're both into fairies
I'm actually not going out with you
How pinpointy does it have to be?
The one problem with ParanormalDate.com
Is that I've gone onto their website
And it's just a whole lot of pictures of dudes
Oh, right
That's a great idea
Well, I know for a fact that women love this stuff
There are women out there that do love the Paranormal
Let's do a promotion now for all you ladies
You know who you are
First of all, let's hear a shout from you
Didn't hear much there
But okay, let's say you did shout
Good on you, I love you
Get on this site, you know
I love men who are like-minded
Quite lonely, quite lonely men
Let's not say they're just lonely men
I mean, how lonely can you be
When you've got the wealth of the internet
At your fingertips
Put yourself on a dating site
You're probably pretty lonely
Right, you're pretty lonely
Yeah, something I'm not too familiar with
But look, if you're lonely and you're into the Paranormal
Then ParanormalDate.com
Are you ever lonely though
When you're into the Paranormal
No, you're quite right
Everything's just a click away
And you can always explore the world
Searching yourself
Yeah
Reminds me of that in-people song
You got a search engine inside yourself
You got a search engine inside yourself
You got a search engine inside yourself
It's all this way
It's all this way
It's all this way
It's all this way
I'm a threesome on that
It was a big hit
It was
And that's my Weekly World Weird News
Great, that's really, really awesome
Oh, thank you so much
One thing with cryptozoology
Is that a lot of animals are found
That people freak out about
They find them often dead
And they go, I've found something really unusual here
They get it analysed
It's quite often hairless
Hairless
Quite often
Here on one of these crazy sites
That's got just, you know, clickbait
I found something that was actually worth baiting
My clicks for
And it's 15 normal animals
Without hair
And how different they look
So here you go
So I'll put the same clip for you at home
First of all
A rabbit
That's insane
How good is that?
It looks
If you came across that
You would go
I have found something quite unique
It looks like an old man
From a Star Wars film
Yes
You know
Put the little hair around the little snout
Let me
Let me teach you the ways
You know
Next one up here is
Oh yes, no
I'm familiar with this picture
Yep, the bear
Look at that
David
Speckled bears
Yeah
Speckled bears
Look at that
With no hair
A bear with no hair
Looks freaking terrifying
Very scary
Because it looks like to me
A man
That has bent over
And he's wearing
Almost like perhaps a vinyl
Body suit
Yeah
And he's got a werewolf head on
It's terrifying
Totally
It doesn't look like a bear
It's a real eye-opener here
Yeah
You lose hair
And you look awful, don't you?
That's right
What's that?
Hedgehog
Without its spikes
How is that even possible?
Have they just somehow fallen out?
Quite ugly
This is quite difficult
For the listener of the podcast
This season
Now you've just clicked on some hairless women
No, and this is
Leon
This is a very different
Fourteen craziest wedding dresses
That should have never happened
No, this is a good one
Okay, look at this one
Look at that
Oh, that's
A parrot
A parrot with no hair
It actually looks terrifying
Terrifying
A parrot with no hair
It looks like a cooked chicken
But the biggest question's got to be
Why are they all hairless?
What's happened to them?
I don't know
I don't know
Maybe just a disease or something
That's a ring hoon
Oh my goodness
It's terrible
Alright, so I think the point of this is
You're bored
But also
Take a look at these hairless animals
Just to remind yourself
That things without hair do look odd
And next time you do see something
That you think might be crazy and odd
From another realm
Check it's just not something normal
That's hairless
Okay, one of the cutest things
Anybody's ever had a guinea pig
Oh yes
Look at that thing
Wow
No longer cute
Like a little miniature hippopotamus
Yeah
I'm willing to say a little bit cute
It's the same thing with humans though
Entirely bald humans can be quite full on
Yes
Hair just softens things, doesn't it?
You want some things hairless
Other things you need a bit of hair
It makes things more natural, doesn't it?
It makes things more natural
Otherwise you do question
Where's your follicles?
I didn't want to say anything
But it's just something I noticed
Yeah
Where are those follicles?
Alright, let's take a break
And come back with some cryptid news
Attention, old personnel
It's time for this week's cryptid
Help me
Because this part of the show
We really delve into specific cryptid news
You know, we get sidetracked on the show
Often by other weird stuff, UFOs
You know, Leon's trying to talk about ghosts
All the time
It's like, piss off with your ghost buttons
Piss off
Although that is still coming up
For those ghost followers
So this is really cryptid-specific news
And I wanted to talk briefly about a brand new book
That's come out called Hiking Sasquatch Country
And if you're in the United States
It really is the best book
Because it takes you through
The subtitle is Exploring Bigfoot's Backyard
So it really takes you through
Where Bigfoot is, where he's been seen
So you too can go hiking
There's some trails and possibly get spotted
So it's been written by Wendy and Gary Swanson
Of Grant's Pass
The book covers 39 different hikes
And 37 historical points of interest
In Southern Oregon
So they did it for their beauty
But also
The likelihood of seeing Bigfoot
So it covers things like
Wolf Creek, Rogue River Trail
Illinois Valley
Applegate Valley
Oh, Applegate Valley
Famous, Famous Valley, Applegate
So yeah, I just want to give a shout out to the book
Because you know, it's only $16.95
And if you're in the United States
And you will find Bigfoot
The Hiking Sasquatch Country book
Is a pretty good place to start
Wow, that's a great
Note
Well, that's a great note
But that is probably
Better for
DVD and sometimes book review
But it was a news item
It was a news item, it's a news book
Once he's read it, he'll bring it back
And review it
It's a new book
By the way, I'm reading a book at the moment
Strange Creatures Seldom Scene
So I read, I snuck into your book
A little bit
Awesome, did you?
Because I was freaking out
I was reading it the other night
And I got to chapter three
And all of a sudden
There was a mention of buttons
I was reading it
It was about giant beavers
And they were finding them
I snuck in
Yeah, you just appeared
And he's like
Hello
Hello
Are you looking for beavers there?
I'm in here, if you're ready
Freak me out, I had to shut it
So I only got to chapter three
I read
Why do you sneak into people's books?
Liam, we've talked about this
It's creepy
I needed, I was, I saw your book
Fantastic title
Wonderful title
Your own book buttons
I showed it to him
He did, he showed it to me
And then I had a little read
And I've got to say
Really gripping stuff
Even just open to a random page
There they are talking about giant beavers
And if there isn't comedy
In looking at giant beavers
Then what else is there?
Yeah, I don't know what else is there
But look, I'm going to review this book
Next time
Because I'm only a part way through it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And stop appearing in it
Because you're weird
Especially with that voice
Okay
Guess what guys
What
There's a Missourian man
And he thinks he might have recorded
Arguing Bigfoot
Oh
Not just Bigfoot
Arguing
But two arguing with each other
Now this is from Cryptozoology News
Then it springs
Does he define what Bigfoot is arguing with?
Let me read this
This chap has released an audio file
Containing unknown sounds
He suspects could be linked
To the unproven creature
He suspects that it's loose
It's a good suspicion
So loose
Now these are always wonderfully written articles here
From the Cryptozoology News
Randy Savick, a disabled 50-year-old
Who has been investigating the Bigfoot phenomenon
For over three years
Says he and other researchers
Go to the Bennett Springs area annually
This year, Bennett Expedition
Was a huge success
This must be what he called it
Not on his own expedition
We've got some unknown audio clips, he says
They used a microphone
And a drop box to record the sounds
He meticulously takes notes
Of every audio detail
He can not to immediately identify
What?
He meticulously takes notes
Of every audio detail he can
He cannot
This is the problem with you're going to write articles
And I've brought this up before
Cryptozoology News last time
And again here, you've got to add commas
To your sentences
And just have a think about
Read your stuff when you've written it
Because it's out there
And then, you know, this is what happens
I don't mean to take the mickey
But when you put your stuff out there
You're open to it
So, neither here nor there
I've got an audio clip I'm going to play
And let's see if you think
That this could possibly be
Bigfoot arguing
Now this sound you're listening to now
Is possibly a Bigfoot walking
As a note has come up on the
On the audio file
Another note here
There was a large shadow
Spotted out the window
By one of the people in the cabin
Oh, so are we...
Should we jump to...
News just in
I've just found in the article
The arguing sound
Doesn't happen to the
10 minute
20 mark
So I'm just going to skip forward now
No, let's stay for 10 minutes
Let's stay, let's listen for 10
Okay everybody, go make a cup of tea
This is a good time to go make a cup of tea
Ah
Here we go
I'm just going to skip forward
Just subtly, just to the
Just to see what happens around the 10 minute mark
Oh what? What's going on here?
Alright, here we are
Back at the cabin
This is the arguing hand
Now you can definitely hear it in the distance
Definitely angry
You hear that?
That was a bird
So it is
Oh
Well those are birds
But it's definitely in the distance there
And I think we've probably passed the mark of it
Although it still is another note
This was recorded at dusk
Where a shower came in
So that's raining
That's raining
But what we'll do is we'll put this up
Properly without us talking
Over the top of it and you can hear that
Decide for yourself
I mean there was definitely something there
It did sound to me
Like there was some whooping and hollowing in the background there
And it sounded angry
I have to give it to him
There was that sound in there, that sounded very
Angry
Arguing
Maybe he was just really frustrated
Would Bigfoot argue?
You've got to ask these questions
Social creatures
There's a note here
In the article
Some Bigfoot investigators such as the Australian man
In charge of the Yaoi Listing Project
His name's not given
But we do have a comma here
Believe the creature is so elusive
That the only possible way to capture evidence
Of its existence will be
To use an audio recorder
And I think that's a good point
Because I think
I've heard the Sierra sounds
I've got the CD, the discs
Of the Bigfoot
Supposed Bigfoot recordings
And they actually sound like this recording here
So I'm excited by that
Same
Right now
I'm going to do something which we haven't done for a while
Before I come back with my cryptozoological news
Can't wait here about your ghost story
You're listening to that
No, we're not going into that just yet
I may not even tell you
No, if you're going to pay me out like this
We're going to play the 9-1-1 recording
It's been quite some time
Since we played it on this
And on the show
And it is our favourite, isn't it?
It's one of the best, as far as cryptozoology goes
It's by far one of the best recordings
And listening to that recording I thought
I get chills
So let's just go to that
And we'll come back with my amazing piece of crypto
Buzzer
Did you see what it was?
Was it a person or an animal?
I can't tell
All I know is that my center light came on
And I just happened to glance and see this thing
Running across the yard
A good sized man
Or something that looks like a man
I don't know what it was
Just it ran across the yard
Okay
You've had problems in the neighborhood before?
Yeah, my dog was killed here just recently
I don't know what it was
Whatever it is, just running
I couldn't catch it
If I was going to chase it
So whatever it was, it was standing up
I'm out here looking through the window now
I don't see anything
I don't want to go outside
Jesus Christ, you better
See him
Hello
Get somebody out here
What's going on now, sir?
That son of a bitch is about six foot nine
I don't know
Do you see him now, sir?
Yes, I'm looking right at him
Uh-oh
Okay, hang on
He's right
Is he in your yard, sir?
Yeah, he's big
Okay, what's he doing in your yard?
He's looking at me
And the guy is on foot
I don't know
It's a big, real big person
That's all I can say
Okay, but it is a person
Yeah, I'd say it was a person
Somebody really big
But he's all in black
Is he a black male or a white male?
Did you actually see with it?
Or was he just wearing black?
He's all black
And he's big
He is big
Well, it gets me every time
Whoa
I love it
It's amazing
It's one of the reasons I'm sitting here right now
It gives you goosebumps, doesn't it?
It does, yeah
You know, it's like, it's chilling
And it really does
It keeps you
It keeps the flame alive
Oh, it does
And that poor 9-1-1 lady
In the call centre
What do you make of that?
Yeah, this guy is
Freaking out
He's not faking that
Whatever he has seen
I would love to interview her
Oh, it should be amazing
We could track her down
I'll try
I'll see what I can do
Get on her buttons
Get on her
I've got faith in you
I've got a yellow pages here
I'll start there
Okay, now, arguably
This is potentially
Alien news
Arguably
It's probably quite obvious
Reptilians
What do we think?
Reptilians?
Aliens?
Or cryptids?
Well, either or
Okay
Well, I've got some news here
New Jersey woman claims
A reptilian alien
Broke into my house
And took my watch
What?
That's a great headline
What website are you on?
Ah, don't worry about that
Don't worry about that
No, just carry on
Don't worry about that
It's cryptozoological news
Oh, no
I told you
I know, they're great
I love them
Guys, you've got to go check out this website
Cryptozoological news
Okay, here's the sub-headline
Under that fantastic headline
A New Jersey woman says
A reptilian humanoid entered her house
Paralyzed her
And took her expensive watch
With some sort of circular energy tool
In a booth
The anonymous woman
Last Saturday
Said that she was watching television
In her bedroom at 11.30pm
When the being came in
My bedroom door was closed
My window was open about a foot or so
She said about the
About the encounter
And with my light on
I reached over to pick up the remote
And turn off the TV
I saw this thing in the room
With me just to my left
At the bottom of my bed
Well, hang on
The door was shut
The window was open
About a foot
Suddenly appeared
She went to switch off
And then all of a sudden
It was there
At the bottom of her bed
The door didn't open then
No
Reportedly
As she reached forward
To grab the entity
She's gonna grab it
That's the first thing you do
If you do see one
Grab it
She was paralyzed
What do you say?
Hey!
Hey, now this isn't on
I've just gone to bed here
The window's open, yes
But the door is shut
This is the final of the David Letterman show
Don't you sneak up on me
In my finest hour
In my nighty nights
She says
When she reached forward
To grab the entity
She was paralyzed
And put back into the bed
But she says
Her main concern
Was her wristwatch
Which she claims
To wear at all times
I remember saying
Do not touch my watch
Do not touch my watch
Stories really take decent turns
I wear an expensive watch
I always sleep with it on
I was fighting to stay up
And I was on the verge
Of blacking out
I'd argue
If you had a reptilian in the room
Grappling with you
You wouldn't be worried about the watch
I wouldn't give a shit about it
I would be
I would
Please take my watch
That's what you want
Take it
We've got nice ones
You and I both got C Masters
Amiga C Masters
What sort of watch have you got?
David?
It's going for the wrist
Nothing
You use your phone
Get an audio recording of my bezel
Clicking
That is an amazing sound
That's the quality
Can you hear my auto-winding?
Hang on, let's listen clearly
I think I can hear something
If I just listen to this
My piece of shit
Watch is singing in people
Anyway
She says
That the woman says
That seconds later
The creature lifted her arm
And by using a mysterious tool
She describes as being circular
And yellowish white light
About an inch and a half thick
Exhibiting an erratic
Electric type of energy
It took her watch off
The immobilized limb
Wow
That's when she said
She was able to take a clear look
At the intruder
It was bending over me
Looking at me at that moment
I remember with excellent memory
The being had very tight snake skin
A yellow dominant with white
And black accented colours
A snout with snake eyes
So she was paralysed there the whole night
8.45 in the morning to work out
And I
I will interject at this point
Reptilean, fair enough
And I've actually suffered from
Sleep paralysis myself
I've been paralysed in bed
I've told you this story
Yes
Terrifying, right?
Yeah
And I was
It was terrifying
And that is often when
Alien visitors arrive
Or closely linked to
Abductee stories and things like that
And when it happened to me
I was
Obviously terrified
Because I felt that I was dead
Inside my own body
And I couldn't escape
Well, I was alive
But my body was dead
And I couldn't get out of it
Did you see anything weird going on?
Or was it just the paralysis?
I was looking everywhere
But I couldn't
I could only see with my eyeballs
I couldn't move my head
How long do you think?
How long were you alive for?
I felt like forever
But it was probably
About three minutes
And I was scared
You thought that was it?
You're out
I was out
But I was also scared
That I was going to get these entities
Wow
And I didn't see anything
And I wish I had of
There's a film at the moment
That's just come out called
The Nightmare
And it's about
It talks to a series of people
And it recreates what they saw
Wow
And it's terrifying
Because the one stage is having that
Where you just can't
You can't move
And that's awful
But then when you start seeing a creature
Wander in
From the doorframe out to you
And you can do nothing
And you're in the real world
You're not in a dream world
You're looking at your house
That you're in
So it's The Nightmare
Apparently it's an amazing doco
I'd love to see it
Because I
I was calling out for help
And I was
We were in an attic
And there was three other people
Sleeping there with me
And I called out
For one of the people
Sarah
Were they sleeping with you?
I was getting someone to help me
Like
He yelled out
Sarah, Sarah, help
And nothing
Nothing
Because my mouth couldn't move
So
Ah
Ah
Ah
And I don't even know
Whether it was coming
Ordinarily it was coming out
It was only going in my head
It was the weirdest stuff
But I did not see a reptilian
So I'm
I'm jealous of that
Have you still got your watch?
I've still got my watch
Thank God
Wow
Buttons
That was that story delivered
Thank you
I was doubting
I don't know how you're going to top that
With your ghost
Cryptozoologicalnews.com
I should have actually had a shit story
I mean do you want to dish
The dirt on this ghost?
Do you want to get a list of it?
You might as well
It's time
It's the end of the show
We've let you
Get this far
Okay
Well
The tricky thing with this news
Is that I've got proof
That I'm going to have to show you later
And share with our community
A little bit later on
And you're all going to have to give me your opinion
But
I have effectively captured
What I
What I would say is an
At least an orb
Oh
Right on camera
Or a ghost
Okay
On camera
Okay
Well
Let's take place
A couple of weeks ago
I was broken into
My garage was broken into
And they stole my chainsaws
Wow
Terrible
Yeah, I heard about this
Scarred
And do you know what
They also tried to steal?
No
I didn't tell you this
My cruxly record player
That you gave me for my birthday
They had a
The bastard
I know
They had it lined up
Ready to go
Respaught me a wonderful record player
All the way from America
To New Zealand
Not an easy thing to do
Smuggled it into the country
And these guys tried to steal it
Unbelievable
And now the box
Has got silver paint all over it
From the police trying to take
The fingerprints
Didn't find them
Anyway, so
I digress
As I do
Anyway
So I decided to
Put cameras up
And so I've got some
I've got security cameras
Security cameras
Yep
Good stuff
And so
I put one inside
My locked garage
Two outside
So that I'd catch
The bug is coming down
Yeah
The driveway
And then breaking in
If they did break into the
Into the house
Now
Outside, the camera's outside
That all the cameras
Are motion detection, right?
They'll trigger it off
When something is
Moving in front of them
Now
When you look at
What it has recorded
Throughout the day
It's generally
Things that have moved
Now the outdoor cameras
Catch trees
That are waving
They get
You know
If a cat walks past
Or a possum
Or what have you
Been by
Mum wandering by
Yep
But
So all that's fine
Now the inside camera
Never records anything
Oh, because nothing's
Happening in there
It's locked
Oh, right
Okay
I look
I just went down
Had a little look
At my little
Video recorder
Playout thing
And
You see all these little
Bars
Of where it's recorded
Throughout the day
On the outside cameras
And generally
Nothing
On the
Timeline
For the inside camera
This one day
I went down
One little bar
Of
Green
Signaling
That it was triggered
In the middle of the night
On the inside camera
This is actually quite
Scary
This is actually quite creepy
Yeah
So I
And I'm standing there
Because the only reason
What I'm looking at
Is I'm showing
My cousin
You know
That he is interested
About how I broke in
So I showed him
I was like
Oh, this is interesting
This is weird
And I thought
We were a rat
Or something
And I click on it
And I play
And
There is
And right in front
Of the camera
Right
Dead smack
In the middle
Of the camera
Is a perfect circle
About
Probably
About hand width
Wide
That just appears
First of all
The camera triggers
Which is
Weird enough
Something must
Move
So something's triggered
And this perfect circle
That just hovers there
And moves ever
Very slowly
Across the room
And then turns
A perfect 90-degree
Corner
And just very slowly
Goes across the other side
Oh, no
Really
If you look closely
And I will
Bring this up
And I'll put it up
On our Facebook
And I'll show you
But there's
Two other things
That happen at the same time
There's one little
Shooting little thing
Down the side
Of the camera
And also
Some weird
Kind of
Bit of light
That is
This thing comes along
In turns
Shines up
Against the back of the wall
Wow
That is weird
Wow
And obviously
I can't shoot the footage right now
Because I'm
Having trouble getting
Off my hard drive
But I'll show you guys
But what do you think?
I'm freaking out
Because I don't believe
In ghost normally
It sounds intense
You know
You don't need to put
Into the ghost territory
It could be
Some sort of UFO
Inside the shed
Maybe
But people talk about
These orbs
That represent stars
Sure
A little bit of light
Yeah
Research
On orbs
And light movement
Because
I mean
Like I've seen something
I've seen a ghostly
Light
And yeah
Back in Edinburgh
I've told you the story
When I did the show
And it was
There was a light
Just a streak of whiteness
Just
And then
I got the cold
Down the
Back of my neck
And like it
Went right down
Behind me
And then disappeared
And gave me this
Eerie
Kind of feeling
Of negativity
Oh
And
And so
I would be interested to see
Yeah
What the shape of this
Was it a white
Was it light
Light
It was white
But it's an infrared camera
Did you feel an energy
In there when you went in?
Wow
See
I have often
Felt a little bit of
Creepiness there
The house
Burnt down
Apparently
I know
Oh
There we go
Back in
Before we
Apparently
Back in the day
The house
Burnt down
I know
An hour and 20 minutes
But I don't know
If anybody died
I love your storytelling
I don't know if anybody
Died
But
Yeah
Okay
And then
But another thing happened
Inside the house
So
Okay
You both know
A family was murdered
A small family
Of white circles
Okay
So
A couple of
A couple of weeks ago
One had a mirror
No
It is
It's the only onion
You're talking about
From the munch punch
He's not dead
I haven't thought about
The munch punch
No
No
The other day
I put my
Kids to bed
You know where
Amelie sleeps
In that little
Library little
Part
The spooky little
Ghost road
Where you made me
Sleep one night
He made me sleep
In his daughter's
Bedroom
I don't even know
Where she was
Because she wasn't in there
And I was in a little
Girls' bed
And I woke up
And I was
Hungover
Woke up the next morning
You know, I was obviously
Went in there drunk
Woke up and there was
Just ponies
And pictures of
Rainbows
And little
No, you're forgetting
The best part
Wearing things
On the wall
And I freaked out
The best part
That you're beginning
Is that right next door
My wife's
90 year old
Grandparents
And sleeping in the next room
Grandma and granddad
And they were
Snoring
And talking in their sleep
And I woke up
At about 4 am to
Mary real
Probably able to fix the
Cowshed
And then
It was so bad
And it was like
It was the old
And the
Incredibly young
And it was
I was caught in the middle
Of those two worlds
It was that room
Anyway
I walked past
No, but get this
Maybe I'm actually
Only for the first time
Wondering
Maybe my house
Is actually haunted
Because
I
Kissed my daughter
Good night
And said good night
I came out
Closed the door
And closed it
Just a little bit
Started walking away
From the door
And the door
Swung open
Slammed open
Against the
Against the
Wall
That the door opens
Against went
And I was like
Oh, I was a bit
I was a bit taken back
I was like
Oh, that was weird
And I walked in
And there's my daughter
In her bed
And I was like
Did you
Like, it would have been
She would have had to
Have slammed the door open
And then run back into her bed
And pulled her covers on
And laid very still
And I was like
I said
Did you open that
And she was kind of laughing
Kind of going
Yes
Oh, nothing worse than
Children doing a little
Evil laugh
Five year old
Five year old
So you can't get any
Creeping me out with all this
I know so I'm creeping myself
And I've got to go and sleep
In this house
The whole burnt down house thing
And you're rebuilt a house on that
And you're moved in
This is why we don't do ghosts
Alright, well that's it for this week
Thanks very much
Oh, I've got to go home
Yeah, we all have to go home
Thanks for listening
Can you come and sleep
At my place tonight
Yes, as long as I'm in the little kids room
It's not a problem
Buttons, he's been buttons
Three, thank you guys
No worries
Oh, good night, good night
Good trip, good night
So, uh, good night
Good night
Good night
Good night
