Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Check out The Dread Excidibus, thenew 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 onthe next episode of the Kentucky X
Files. So take care of eachother and we'll see you. Hm.

(00:50):
I can probably go into his originstory a little bit. Hang on,
I want to say you that Iguess, I guess I understand the name.
Look at him, that was himin the beginning. That's just the
baby at I mean, he ispretty adorable. He is. And then
he was like, don't you don'tknow? Don't don't you say that that

(01:18):
thing is cute and it's a murderer, that that little cute little thing grew
up to be a murderer. Why'dyou do that? What? I clicked
the wrong picture? The timing,The timing was fantastic. I was trying.
It's weird. So that brings meto another conspiracy here. What are

(01:51):
we doing? Perhaps o Jay ispart of Octopus okay, mm hm mhm.
Or they missed an opportunity by naminghim Cute Doolu instead of Ojay because

(02:12):
he's orange horseshoes. Oj You knowwhat 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 yourhead until it pops out. What if

(02:36):
you're walking through there at night doingyou know, doing like maintenance or some
janitorial stuff and this thing just pouncedon you. Take a look at this
thing. Whoa, Yeah, that'sa big old bastard right there. That's
a big en. I know there'sa little force person spective in there,

(03:00):
but that is still a big damnoctopus. They do they look alien?
Yeah? Yeah, h too muchlike a spider. Not that it's just
uh well, I I hate theopen ocean because they don't know what's Yeah,

(03:23):
like stuff like that can just prettyunder. Yeah the ocean's yeah,
it's it's something. Yeah, herewe go. Let me. It's not

(03:43):
meant for us. Like, I'dbe screwed if water World happen. The
only way I would survive if KevinCostner was there, Costa Camick guys there
try and land is not a moth. I've seen it. That was a

(04:09):
good movie. Man. They reallyfucking people really like ship on that one.
But I liked it. I thinkwhen it came out recently it would
have done really well. Yeah whatis 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 yourship. I was trying to see

(04:30):
that see that picture? No nope, I did it go off? Okay,
yeah, yeah, okay, Sothis top right picture is what I'm
looking at here. I can't Ican't see it any further. Mm hmm.

(04:51):
That sucks. Yeah. That's ourthat's our cephal pods. All right,
that's all of them. I mean, if you think about biodiversity,
they themselves definitely add to the largerscale of things. But they are the

(05:13):
only ones that evolved this way.And you think, like all life on
Earth, like, that's a verytiny group and that's the only isn't Isn't
that the only creature that actually hastentacles? Yeah? Uh, don't jellyfish
have tentacles? Oh yeah, butI thought they couldn't move those. Yeah.

(05:36):
I don't think they're articulable. Yeah, I don't know. I know
that, don't The tentacles are whatstings the ship out of you, don't
they? Dude? You can evenyou can step on one. You can
step on a dead one on thebeach and it will sting the ship out
of you. Yeah, it's likeit just touches you and it like yah.

(06:00):
Yeah, clid bees don't have that. They actually have to put some
work in, you know what Imean. And that's just a weird creature,
really strange evolutionary path, that's forsure. Yeah. Uh yeah.

(06:23):
When you think about like all thespecies of every everything else that's out there,
the four cephalopods is not a lotat all. It's weird. Yeah
what what thing? That thing thatcracks me up too is that Uh I
still love this is that the giantsquid was was like made up right and

(06:43):
now we're like, well about that? Yeah yeah? And then yeah,
what was the whale? There wasa whale that showed up with gigantic tentacle
burns on it. Yeah, it'slike, uh, what the fuck grabbed
him? You know what I mean? I think like out of all like

(07:05):
all these like giant creatures ever likedepicted that we've seen. I feel like
the plausible ones are more in theocean because they like, the ocean is
like you gotta think of like thefood source it has to have, yeah,
for it being that big, theocean is just by far a mortgage

(07:28):
board, Like it's a buffet twentyfour to seven yeah all the time.
So like it's not gonna lose food. Yeah. The only thing that would
ever lose food is like if therewas thousands upon thousands of these giant creatures
in the ocean. But I don'tthink they're that many. But for the

(07:49):
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 showedup recently and because they were like I
guess they were speculating like what itwas. And then this guy shows up

(08:11):
and it's like, oh, thetentacles still stuck to him. Fucking tentacles
still stuck to him, And wedon't and we don't know what portion of
that is. You know. Nowit looks like it looks like the tip
of it yeah, yeah, tapersoff. Yeah, but like we don't
show how long up. Yeah,broken off like it could continue another eight

(08:33):
feet for all we know. Whatwas that one? Like I thought there
was one that was measured it waslike twenty seven feet. Yeah, yeah,
what was the biggest the biggest onethey've seen so far. Yeah,
it's like four hundred thousand miles,just like the caves. Fifty nine feet

(08:58):
is the largest squid we've seen sofar. Wow, and they got a
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 whatI mean, Like you're stuck to him.

(09:20):
You're just gonna roll around with him, wouldn't you. What if like
what if the whale realized that's thesquid right there by the way, that's
footer. Yeah, it's a bigGod. I wish we had some perspective.
I know, there's like this bigthing 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 whyI don't like the ocean. Yeah,

(09:45):
It's like, dude, that wouldbe my luck. I'd just be out
in the middle of the ocean joinlive fishing and that thing just capsized my
boat. I mean, look atthe size of that one, right,
Yeah, hell to the motherfucking know. Yeah, dude, I like that

(10:07):
they're they're so big that they they'reso 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 biggerthan giants. Huge motherfuckers. Yeah,
squids, Nope, I am notever getting in the ocean side squids.

(10:35):
Yeah, Like, the classification keepsgoing up, and I know they they
term the term kraken is meant fora squid bigger than the colossal, right,
yeah, and uh yeah, we'reat the point now where they're like,

(10:56):
yeah we have those two. That'sa 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? Likethe sharks really don't actually like us.

(11:20):
They just think that we're a certainlike 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.

(11:46):
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?
What's this guy got? He's uh, look at that ship. That's

(12:13):
scary as hell. Yeah, wasthe first person. But from these little
clips, look at that and it'sgone. It comes up like checks it
out and it's like, Okay,yeah, it's pretty fucking crazy that ship

(12:37):
is actually there. That's that shipis 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 timeago, and we even like went over
it, uh like a bit.We thought we found some new evidence,
but the lock this monster like orsomething similar to it. Like, I

(13:01):
know that we've kind of in away debunked it, and I really don't
want to bring up how we likedebunked that on our in I feel like
people will know if they've actually seensome of the Yeah, but uh,
it's it's believable, like things likethat could survive. Don't you think something

(13:26):
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
monster, But in the back oftheir mind they're like, well is there
yeah, like fuck, you know, I don't know. Yeah, it's

(13:50):
the ship that you see them discoveringall the time. It's like the maybe.
I mean, you guys seen thoselike 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 worryabout sharks. He eats the sharks.
Yeah, the goliath grouper. Yeah. I'm like, yeah, those

(14:11):
things are unreal, Like people areterrified as sharks, but sharks aren't the
only thing in the ocean that islike, yeah, people are food.
Dude, watching him divers and there'sthere's giant, giant groupers coming up to
him, I'm like, oh god, he gonna get eight or the sunfish

(14:31):
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

(14:52):
they reeled one in they got one, and this was crazy because this thing
was massive, like it would havebeen a record breaker, and they got
it. Uh, they got itout of the water. And when they
finally hoisted this this thing up,it hit a gigantic bite taken out of

(15:13):
it and it was like, youknow what I mean, like, what
what ate that? That thing's massive? Yeah, that would be my cue
to leave. Yeah. Do youguys notice that great white sharks are getting

(15:35):
bigger? I mean, I don'tknow. I don't know that they're actually
getting bigger, But it seems likeevery year there's a new report where they're
like, oh, yeah, Iknew, twenty eight footer was spotted off
of the coast of California. Here'sthe video, right, And it's like

(15:56):
I can remember like a few yearsago them being like, do you we
found a twenty footer? Right?It's like, damn, that's a big
as shark. Dude, that's twentyfeet long. That's that's a big old
what's some bitch? What's the sizeof a like the megalodon? Oh god,
the megalodon was what fifty feet somethinglike that? Yeah? Wow,

(16:19):
it was was it the size oflike a whale? Yeah? It says
the larger specimens were fifty eight pointseven feet long. Yeah, that's crazy.
Do you think, Uh, doyou 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'strue. They said that the scientists scientists
accept the estimates for the megalodon's maximumsize. Uh, you know, millions
of years ago between the seventy andone foot at their max out repeat that

(17:07):
last part. Seventy two hundred feetwould be the absolute biggest specimens. That's
a big shark. That's like Itake a boat out there. Mm hmmm.
Well you think how big the mouthwould have to be on a creature
that size. I've seen fucking picturesof like the people standing in the mouth

(17:32):
of Like said, I don't knowif that's like a I don't know if
that was like for something like dinosaurwas like it was I can't remember,
like, but I'm pretty sure likethe the shape of it looked like the
jaws of a Yeah, shark thoughtit was a reproduction of it because that's
the only thing we have is teeth. Yeah, we don't have anything else,

(17:56):
not that I'm aware of because thebones 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

(18:21):
back then, that we wouldn't evenwe 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 followingand studying, and these killer whales literally
find the biggest great whites they canand just kill them. Yeah. I'm

(18:45):
like I was gonna say, youcan't. You can't argue that their name
isn't right. Yeah, they're huntingkiller whales and they're attacking vessels. Yeah
they're coming o. Yeah, there'sthe one here. There was one I

(19:07):
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 justfucks them up. Like it's like,

(19:29):
you know, like you're bored,you know what I mean? Like I'm
just swimming around, man, I'mlike, you know, oh, there's
a shark and then boom, holyshit. 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 EERIsite right there, in my opinion.
Yeah, just out there, joinyour crews, and then all of a

(20:15):
sudden your boats surrounded by killer whales. Yeah, is that a piece of
the boat looks like it. Thatguy's in a little raft, a little
blow up raft, dude, couldyou imagine what the act You're out there

(20:41):
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, comeup close to him. Likes up.
Man. Are there any instances ofwhales killing people out of captivity? I
know that in captivity they move thosethings around like Catholic priests. Yeah,

(21:14):
it says that there's not really evenIt says, even though they are absolutely
formidable animal, there's been no documentedcases of killer whales attacking a human being
in the wild. Right, Somaybe we're just like I don't know,
maybe they just like look at usand they're like, nah, I'm not
kinda I'm not gonna kill a littlestupid His name will just be in the

(21:38):
water, you know what I mean. Right, I'll tell you what.
It's a it's a bad day tobe 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 theybroke the ice. Didn't flip them out
into the water to eat them.I'm like, that's not fair, right,

(22:03):
Or will they play with them orthey'll launch them up out of the
water. Yeah, it's fucking crazy, dude, evil bastards. Is it
safe to Is it safe to swimwith Orcas says here. They are usually
friendly to humans, or they mayjust be indifferent to you, but they

(22:23):
usually won't harm you unless you dosomething to stress them out. Oh oh
there are rules. Wow. Theystressed 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

(22:44):
out there in the water. Yeah, with teas here. Captive orcas have
killed four people. Three were doneby the same orca. Yeah yeah,
te leak them. Yeah, that'sthe one that kept moving around. Yeah.

(23:06):
Uh whatever did he did Telekam dieor is he still around? I'm
not sure. I wonder if Iwonder if somebody has a record of that.
I'd like to know what happened toTeleika. Didn't they rename him too?

(23:26):
Yeah? Probably? Yeah? Ohyeah, he died. He died
twenty seventeen in sea world. That'sa bummer. Uh yeah, it says
uh wow man. Yeah, Teleakamhe returned to performing in twenty eleven,

(23:56):
but they were no longer Uh,they were no longer in the pool with
him. Yeah, not so thatthey didn't they put they wouldn't put hands
on him anymore. So you'd highpressure water hoses to massage, hum and
stuff as so fucked man, you'dalmost think that just leaving them in the

(24:19):
wild would have been the smarter movehere, 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 thewhole sea world thing, you know,
and all that and the treatment ofthe orcas and you know, uh,

(24:44):
keeping them in captivity, and it'slike you kind of go back to the
beginning there, start with the namekiller whale, and then your thought is,
we need to capture one of theseand train it. Right, this
is going to be badass. What'sthe worst that can happen? It's like
a big dolphin, no big deal. And then you know it turns out

(25:10):
killer whales like to be free.Yah. Even I mean they even figured
out that the brain of the killerwhale, he does feel trauma, they
do feel depression. Yeah, theyfeel the basic self awareness of any of

(25:30):
those type of animals, you knowwhat I mean. Yeah, there's like
there's telltale signs too, and they'relike 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 longinto his life that happened, Like when
that started. I think I sawa documentary on him like maybe five months

(25:55):
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.
This is kind of weird. TommyLee of Motley Cruz actually was on

(26:17):
the forefront of battling SeaWorld to getthe color whales released back into the wild.
I did not know this. Hewrote a letter to the president of
SeaWorld, Terry Prether, saying thathe referred to to Leakham as SeaWorld's chief

(26:41):
sperm bank, and he said,I hope it doesn't take another death for
SeaWorld to realize it shouldn't frustrate thesesmart animals by keeping them confined in tanks.
Wait, he goes Tommy Lee,Holy shit, I did not know
that. I mean, yeah,that's pretty cool. I had no idea.

(27:03):
He was like, you know,actually actively, you know, against
it or whatever. Right, it'spretty badass. Yeah, it's fucking sad
though. They should. They shouldfucking they should leave the leave the fuckers
in the wild man. You knowwhy because who the fuck else is gonna
take out all those sharks? Right? Yeah, we need them. Killer

(27:27):
whales are out there doing a jobfor everybody. You know, you're gonna
jump in the water killers, Likehold 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 swimin a minute. And he's just touching
your face with his little flipper,his big clipper, so it's like your

(27:49):
whole face, thank you, killerwhale. Why are all these like not
killers but aliens killer whales? Theyjust 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 thinkI think we need we need to get
out of here. This is thisis crazy. This got all kinds of
wacky. That's what they call usthe Waggy X Files. So by the

(28:33):
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

(28:53):
