Speaker 2 (01:02):
Howdy Duty everybody. It's me and Breezy. Text is on
location tonight, so I don't think he's going to be
joining us all right. Hopefully he'll come back with some
good stories to share, right because I think he's at

(01:24):
a pretty active area. I think I know where he is.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
He.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, hopefully he's having a good time. Hey, Mike, thank you.
Oh so sweet. I got a nice little bom part
at the beginning of the show. Thanks so much, Mike.
Uh So, what's up, Breezy? How was your week? We
didn't get to talk that much this.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Week, Yeah, we didn't. It's been pretty much like I
had the flu thing last week. So nothing interesting. I've
just been recuperating and doing a whole lot of.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Honor trying to rejoin the living.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Yeah, not not interested, but you know I got there.
I guess.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
For the recently diseased or diseased, well, I'm glad you're
feeling better. At least I know you're pretty rough last week.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
Oh yeah, I didn't think I was gonna make it.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
He's calling me if I if I don't make it,
you might What was it your YouTube channel? Yeah, my
stream yard you can have it until the money runs out.
And I was like, yeah, no, I'd rather have Breezy

(02:45):
than the stream yard platform. Who wouldn't rather have Breezy?

Speaker 4 (02:51):
I don't know. Depends.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Well, I think you're cool. You're always kind of me.
Everybody you know that watches us like you. Yeah, right,
or they wouldn't be watching by see digging the breezy.
They're digging the breezy, They're digging the speak easy. Oh
so tonight it's probably not going to be a long show,

(03:16):
you guys, because, like I was telling backstage, like I am,
I'm on the struggle bus tonight. I'm not feeling great,
So we're gonna hit some topics for y'all and then
I mean along the way, Breezy and I'm sure will
be us. But uh, but you want to jump into

(03:36):
it or do you want to talk about anything first?
Break the eyes.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
No, I'm interested in the scene. What I'm interested in
seeing if I get aha after in these ago.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
Oh I do know this one.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Oh that one.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, it's hard for me to throw a rock and
not find one somewhere. Yeah, I mean at first, at
first it might completely me and I'm like, I have
no idea what y'all are talking about. And then they're
like this one time in eighteen seventy four in them all,
I know this one.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
So everybody in chat agree in that they love you.
By the way, as long as you don't live up
to your name in a tight room, says Pyromedic. Yeah,
don't be Breezy in a tight room.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah, he tends to get a little claustrophobic.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
It would so probably go past claustrophobic if we're in
a small room. So we'll jump right into it and
hopefully mister Breezy will have an all hall moment for
us all.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Maybe let's find out.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
I bet he will because he's a smart cat. So
let's let's kick it off with the old night marchers,
because the night marchers have been something that always fascinated me.
So what they are for anybody who doesn't know, And
I did spell it wrong. It's all one word, and

(05:04):
I broke it into two. So the night marchers are
Hawaiian chiefs and warriors that have died and they come back,
and they come back en mass, right, So they are
seen as a large group a procession, and they come

(05:24):
either out of the land or out of the sea,
and they start marching across the island at sundown and
they stay marching until right before sunrise. And they, like
I said, they come in mass. So there's a large
group of them. There is a chief in there somewhere,
depending on whether or not any this is interesting if

(05:50):
any of his body parts are sacred. So like if
to look on a sacred part of a chief, like
let's say that or whatever reason, his face is sacred,
or his back is sacred, or like regular folks like
the peasants, you're not supposed to look at that. So

(06:11):
it is the same in depth. So they will lead
the procession if their face is sacred, so they'll be
at the front where the warriors cannot see their face.
If they're back or any part of what's going on
behind them as sacred, they would be at the back
of the procession. Most of the time though there's nothing
sacred going on and they're just mingled into the group,

(06:33):
but they are usually headed towards either sacred sites or battlegrounds,
and they can be well, it's really complicated kind of story.
So sometimes there's conk shells that are blown and you
can hear the drumming while they're, you know, going through
the procession, or sometimes they're quiet, like if the chief

(06:56):
who's banned you happen upon if that chief didn't like noise,
he liked silence, then they're going to march in silence.
If he liked a lot of ruckush, you're going to
hear the conch shells, and you're going to hear the
beating of the drums as they're marching, and their feet
this is also interesting, never touch the ground, so they

(07:19):
kind of as they're marching, they're floating above the ground.
And if they come across a peasant right one of
us in the process of this night march. You're supposed
to throw yourself on the ground and not look at them,
and you're supposed to show fear and reverence because this

(07:43):
is the chief. And if they feel that you are
not showing the appropriate amount of reverence for the group,
they'll kill you. They'll kill you. You're not supposed to
look at them. And I have even heard that if
you what yourself like the ah, yeah, all right, they're scared.

(08:07):
It's good. They want you scared. And if you happen
to have a family member among them, they will shout
out in Hawaiian mine the word for mine, and the
marchers will leave you alone. If an old ancestor recognizes
you as is blood, they'll say they'll they'll keep you safe.

(08:32):
And that's not to say that you can be like
you are Uncle Bob. You know you can't be doing that.
You still have to show like respect. But yeah, if
you if you are lucky enough to have a member
of your family in the procession, then you're generally cool.
You don't have to worry too much. But yeah, there's
stories of people happening across the night marchers or you know,

(08:56):
they can hear them coming and just get that out
of the way, and you can't can't stop them, like
if you put barriers up or you try to hide
in the house. If it's along their path, they're they're spectral.
They're going to go right through any kind of barrier
that you have raised. So that's not going to help you.
Your best bet is too well, they can carry up

(09:17):
and if they see you, or if it's too late
you can see the torches and the glow that they emit,
then you're going to You can have to threw yourself
on the ground and gravel and maybe pee your pants
to survive.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
No problem. I drink a lot of Budweiser.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Done and done?

Speaker 4 (09:39):
Is that all? So these are mostly is this actual
Hawaiian low or.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
No, this is Hawaiian?

Speaker 4 (09:52):
Just go straight stop? So Hawaiian.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Well, I don't know that it goes to Samoa. I
haven't heard it out of Samoa, but it's definitely Hawaiian.
And so somebody in chat asked a very interesting question.
It doesn't have to do with the night merchers, but
he said, Monica. I met a guy who worked at
a funeral home slash morgue. But he said, when they

(10:15):
got young children at the place, we would always see
black dogs in outside the place. What does that mean? Well,
that's interesting. I'm not sure. Were they like actual dogs
or do you think that they were like spirits? Was

(10:38):
it like an old kind of thing? Because black dogs
typically are omens of death, but you would see them
prior to the death. I don't know about them coming
after death, especially for children, so I'm not too familiar
with that. I did have a friend who I don't

(11:00):
know that she's psychic, but she does have dreams. She
has very prophetic dreams, and right before my son was killed,
she was dreaming about black dogs and she didn't tell me.
Not that I would have put two and two together,
but she didn't tell me about it until after the fact,
and I was like, you've got to tell me when
you have weird dreams life. I would have been more cautious,

(11:24):
you know, I probably I don't. Like I said, you
can't put two and two together. You don't know what
the future has in store. But yeah, for that particular question,
my answer, unfortunately is I really don't know, because, like
I said, typically they're coming to collect souls, and it's

(11:45):
they're usually not good people. They're coming to collect if
they're coming to collect. If it's just an omen of death,
it's typically prior to the death. They shouldn't be hanging
around after the deed is done. So that one you
got me, I'm not sure what that's about.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
I think if anything south that, off the top of
my nugget, it would be a guide of some sort,
you know, the guy that the small children that don't
know any better.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Well, it's interesting that they would send dogs, though, I mean,
why a black dog of all?

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Well, I mean, I do know, I do know.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
There is a bunch of urban lore where black dogs
are a good thing. Like they'll see it at the wake.
You know, no one's like, whose dog is that? No
one knows whose dog it is. Turns out it was
just the ushers.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, if it's ushering over, that's fine. Then they just
happen to be black. I could see that. But I
have like such strong connection of specifically black dogs to bats,
you know, like old.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
Yeah is a thing for me.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
Uh so, No, it's definitely more. It's definitely more common
in the in the stories to be bad omens that it's. Yeah,
it's rare and few and far between that I even
think I've heard of a protector's style. Yeah, but wouldn't
there wasn't that one of the ones in the original

(13:12):
scary movies to tell in the Dark. I think it
was just called black Dog, and it was about like
a dog that guided the kid too and from the
school bus or something. They see it's patch of hair
every day.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Was it being benevolent?

Speaker 4 (13:34):
No, No, it was being like an assist.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah, well that's benevolence.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
Oh yeah, okay, I guess.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
So it wasn't trying to chew his arm off.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
Yeah, okay, yeah, I guess I just put it up
to a differentier.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
Cool.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
So, yeah, I don't I mean animals in general coming
to help people across. I could see, like I said,
if it just happens to be a black dog, then
it's entirely possible they're coming to usher the spirits away.
But I would think by the time they get to
the the funeral home, their spirits have long since gone. Yeah.

(14:20):
I just feel like at the moment, personally, I think
at the moment of death, right, yeah, you leave your vessel.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
Yeah, you're in the transformation stage.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah, you're not following your body. That's why I don't
believe that, you know, when people see spirits in graveyards,
that it's what they think they're seeing. And I'm not
saying that occasionally a spirit wouldn't try to stay with
the body and would eventually end up there, but I
think that it's few and far between things like that happening.

(14:57):
I think that what you're seeing, if you're catching a
glimpse of a ghost and a graveyard, it's it's not
it's nothing good because they can look like whatever they
want to, right the bad things can look like whatever
they want to And I think that what inhabits a
graveyard typically is something that is feeding off of grief

(15:18):
and sorrow, and that's just really not anything good.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
That's I came to the conclusion that I'm an energy
vampire today.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yeah, I feel like I've been hanging out with energy
vampires lately, and I'm coming to the conclusion that one
of my friends is an energy vampire because every time
they call me on the phone, I'm like, uh, you know,
I'm just not sixteen year old Monica. I don't want
to talk on the phone. Text me, text me, I'll

(15:57):
text you back, don't call me, don't call me. I
did all of my talking in my teens I have
nothing left in me for this that I drew up. Yeah,
it was all well and gone by the time I
hit thirty, and I'm well past thirty.

Speaker 4 (16:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
Now, I was saying that because last night I realized
that whenever, whenever it's cold outside.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
But you're warm under the blankets, like I can never
get warm. And last night I do it a million times.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
I have to sneak away to like e t phone
home gin because if she fills me touch her, it's
all over with and she'll like leave the room.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
But if I can just.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
Actually make a point of contact, it's like it's like
I freaking soak up all over, all over warm, oh yes, bash.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
The difference is that he doesn't care if I touch him,
so I just throw my foot over them. It's because
he sleeps kind of on his like like a hiker,
like a mountain climber, like not quite on his stomach,
but not on his side either. He's got like one
leg sticking out, and I just throw my hoof over
like across his cat and I'm like, your.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Energy is mine.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
Now that would be the end of me. I have
to do it ever so sneakily.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
I have to say hi, to people. Oh, you know
what I did? I created memberships.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
What's what's what's what's that?

Speaker 2 (17:44):
I had to create a membership. YouTube's like create a membership,
create a membership, create a membership. So I was like,
all right, I'll create a members So I don't know,
you get like members only shorts that I make. I
have to do incentives, extra work.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
Sweet, Yeah, so.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
You get so you get me, you get I guess shorts.
Nobody else gets. I don't know what put in these things.
If you have a suggestion for membership tears, please let
me know, my faithful audience, because I want to give
you what I want. And Breezy needs to touch up.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
That's right, the speak e G.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Needs to get on board. So did the night Marchers
trigger anything for you anything?

Speaker 3 (18:34):
No, I didn't, I don't know. Just reminded me of well.
So then had me thinking a few things. One is like,
which is the chief that gets to be the main
dead chief?

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Right? Well? I think that, yeah, that's a good question.
I don't know. I don't know the answer to that one.
I think that there are more. There's more than one
night March. So each chief would have his warriors from
his time that he was reigning, I believe. So you're
not getting it in. I don't think that it happens
like every night. It doesn't happen every night.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
So ceremonious little type of thing, because it's it's hit
me like.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
You know, like uh, a major.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
Celebratory thing and you know, like a religion like shop it,
you know, you know what I mean, like something that
comes around every Christmas or whatever.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
Right, and you know because it because you know, you
think about it.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
So it's it's a parade through the streets by the undead.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
So I had to look it up. So yeah, so
it is okay. So it's on nights that honor the
Hawaiian gods Kanye Kuno or on the nights of Kaaloa.
I'm not sure what Kinloi is, but it's on those
like it's it's nights that honor those three specific gods. Yeah,

(20:12):
and sometimes sometimes the gods will join the night marchers,
and on the nights that there are gods in the procession,
the torches are brighter, more energy.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
Yeah, they have better bit and worse vision in a
long time.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
Yeah, no, I mean other than that to me, So
that's what it sounded like to me when I was
getting at was like like.

Speaker 4 (20:44):
More like festivals. I guess you know, pick nights.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
I suppose you. Yeah, they're not just popping up at random.
They're like gods. Right, Thursday the twenty first, let's go.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
So I wonder if out how closely lined the celestials
they are. So, I mean, are they like hearing the
equinoxes or whatever?

Speaker 2 (21:09):
Days you are honoring those gods. That's why when it's happening.
And now I don't know the Hawaiian tradition well enough
to tell you what dazols are, right, but those are
the days. If you're worried about night marchers, maybe look
it up. Yeah, in your Hawaiian vacation around those days,

(21:32):
like away from those days so you don't get caught
by the night marchers. Well you're on your way back
from Alu Hour or something. Yeah, yeah, because I'm pretty
sure they really really I don't like the tourists.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
Oh yeah, I was going to say, don't tell them
you're from Cali, Cali, Bruh.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Any of the main line, any anywhere other than there.
If they can see whether or not you are Hawaiian,
I'm sure. Okay, So night marchers didn't ring a ding
ding a little bill for all right, let's move on

(22:15):
to uh to the dark Watchers, and again all three
of my topics. Tonight, Breezy was like, if you say so. So,
the dark Watchers are these tall beings that are seen

(22:39):
on the peaks of the Santa Lucia Mountains in central California.
That's it. And they've been around for a long time.
So the indigenous folks would talk about them. The Spaniards,
the Mexicans that would wander up the coast, they would

(23:00):
speak of them also, And which is interesting, Steinbeck wrote
about them in one of his books, and his son
was so fascinated by them that his son co authored
a book all about them. And I just found that out,
so I'm gonna have to go dig this book up
and read it myself. So the dark Watchers are described

(23:23):
as tall beings, usually giant sized, silhouetted against the peaks
of these mountains. They usually have brimmed hats and walking sticks,
and they are seen between twilight hours and pre dawn hours,
so they're seen at certain times of the day. You're

(23:45):
not going to usually catch a glimpse of them, like
at noon. They don't do anything. They just watch, and
that's why they're called the dark watchers. They just like
perch up there on the tops of these mountains and
observe what's going on down below. And if you approach them,

(24:06):
because there have been people that have claimed to have
come upon them while they're hiking, and you know, you
will notice them, which is okay, but if you direct
your attention to them, they'll disappear. If you actually try
to approach one of them, they will disappear. And a
lot of people chalk these up to a condition called

(24:33):
I think it's called broken is it spirit?

Speaker 3 (24:40):
What is it called.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
The broken broken? Broken specter? There is broken spector, which
is German, and it's a condition that happens when light
hits at a certain angle and it reflects your shadow
like up onto some clouds. It's a mountaineering thing. It's

(25:07):
not uncommon, like I think in the Alps. It's a
German word for sure. But that doesn't account for these
things standing still. People that see these aren't usually just
standing on place. They're walking around, they're moving. But these
these images are like static. They don't move. They're just

(25:28):
these giant figures overlooking everything, and they appear the same.
They seem to have hats, they're human shape, they've got
walking sticks, And it doesn't make sense to me that
it's that that you know, light playing tricks on you
kind of thing. You know, if that were the case,
then the watchers would be moving around and they're not.

(25:51):
So I don't know what that is. Any idea is
what you think it might be.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
Well, I mean, if you're adding in attire, right, you know,
a tire not at tired, so then that that gets
that goes right to.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
Either my mimic world or.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
You know, behind the other veil type thing, like you're
basically talking like the same thing like you know the
hat people, right.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
You know, a giant version of a hat man right right.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
But instead of completely black, non see through, it's more
kind of like from what I was gathering from what
you were, but now is kind of like like the predator,
like he's there but it's not there, but you know,
kind of.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Wells solid and people are definitely seeing them right there.
They're there and they're these black figures right, and they
appear to be giant considering the distance that people are.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
Seeing them front And I don't know why I was registering.
It was like it looked like the background.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
No, no, no, they I mean you can definitely see
them like and I don't know what to make of that.
I really don't. You know, are they Guardian spirits maybe maybe? Yeah,

(27:34):
you like like earth spirits because those can be pretty big.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
Well, I do believe you know, those were set up
on both sides, you know, the veil you know, in
certain portals, you know, so yeah, absolutely this could be
you know, that team of them, you know, and that's
for that district or whatever, you know, because where else

(28:00):
do we see these same kind of entities? Right?

Speaker 3 (28:03):
So that that's where I'm going out with my nugget
is I'm trying to think of other locations, you know,
worldwide where you get the hat thing with the giantism
and that it's obviously a manifested piece.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
Mm hmm, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
So I'm trying to think of anything that, ah, what
would you call it? Gives a common denominator with it all?
Because yeah, yeah, now I'm coming up with the bike.

(28:47):
I mean, there's one or the other. But I'm not
you know, I'm not thinking of anywhere I see them all.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Well, I don't wonder if they aren't some sort of
like elementals, right, you know, just never human, never never human,
and you know it just it comes from the Earth
in this specific range. But I don't know what would

(29:15):
cause this specific area to have these things and not
the Sierras, right, why what I mean? The Sierras are
long range, the Santa Lucia are nearly as large, So
why there? I mean, you would think that if it

(29:36):
were spiritual energy, I could see it definitely in the
Sierras because there's golden there, which means there's quarts in there.
There's quarts all up in there. Oh yeah, it's you know,
quarts is a great conductor of energy. I would yeah,
I would expect to see a lot more of that
like up in the Sierras. But you don't. You only
I mean this is like kind of like limited to

(30:01):
the Santa Lucia Mountains. And I'm sure there's quartz in
there too, but I don't know the composition of the
Santa Lucia Mountains.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
Yeah. Well, in course you're talking.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
They're oscillators, right, so the born naturally tuned in they
are to a specific I mean, that's why everyone of
course watches in the eighties you know, it's like the
best way to tell time until atomic clocks came in.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
But well, like there's a lot of gems that do
that though. So when you get a master of complications,
you get jewels, and you'll hear like it's a fifty
jewel watch or it's a twenty jewel watch and they're
rubies really right, Well, the more jewels that are in
the watch, the more accurate at the time.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
Yeah, it's well yeah, because what it is is your
your you're increasing your amount of uh fine tuning in
your frequency.

Speaker 4 (31:10):
That's what yeah.

Speaker 5 (31:13):
Yeah, yeah, with you know, one good rock you could
get an hour within an hour, and then with within
twenty rubies you can get within the thirteenth of a second.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Yeah, So that's what it means if you hear jewels
and watches, not jewels like amperage right, well yes and
j E W.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
Yeah No, that's that's where I find that a lot
of those is the high courts.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
Spots that they have, uh you know, the saying there's
like even a whole champion and.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
Messy thing that they're actually the same thing. They're they're teleporting.
Because both.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
Champlain and Latinus have huge freaking court deposits like Can's
saying amounts.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
That's interesting because like the night watchers have always interested
me because I have no clue what they are. Some
of it, I mean, yeah, some of it could be
that broken specter thing, but I don't think all of
it is. And again that that phenomenon doesn't make sense

(32:40):
to me if the people that are observing it are
moving around, and I'm sure not all of them are
wearing brimmed hats. You know, you know what it kind
of reminds me of or like priests from the old
missions that would have had the hat, the brim hat

(33:02):
right and black cassick I guess is what you call it?

Speaker 4 (33:07):
Yeah, like on Bolder Geist too.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
Yeah yeah, that's freaking yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:14):
Yeah yeah yeah, come on down with us, just supposed
to be with us. No, I'm good. Something just tells
me that's not right.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
I know you you can't come in my house, creepy
guy with bad teeth.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
Yeah no kidding, no, but that's that is So what
you bring it up is kind of like we've talked
about this before, but you know, it's the when it
comes to that that, you know, the brim of the
hat and the all undertake your look, you know, like
I'm sure that that's that's just soaked and just enough

(34:01):
to make it a.

Speaker 4 (34:05):
Argone the alex Egdor group.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
The Yeah, so the math belief versus the solitary prayer.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
Right, because I mean eventually, you know, if that's what
you're seeing is an undertaker dressed like that all the time,
because you know, death is a common practice because you know,
the living age.

Speaker 4 (34:34):
Is ripe old age of forty you know what I mean.
So then yeah, that would become yeah, yeah, and so
that's your mental manifestation of what death is carried to
and fro by. Yeah, so.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Naturally, yeah, but when did he come to sink in
to something? Thing is you know prolific is like these
nights watchers where they're giants, like where where did giants?

Speaker 1 (35:08):
No?

Speaker 2 (35:08):
I don't know if they're see Yeah, so let's say
they're elemental spirits, right, so they're land based we'll call
them land right, earth spirits, and they're checking out the
priests from the old missions, all right, and they're digging

(35:32):
the vibe. So that's what they're projecting as maybe.

Speaker 4 (35:41):
Yeah, I mean, I mean their stores.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
Of the land. Maybe, I mean I'm not saying that
every priest was great back in the day. I'm saying
I never mind. But you know, maybe they're seeing or
catching catching the vibe like they mean, well they're I mean,
maybe what they're doing isn't great, but they're doing it

(36:05):
with good intent. Maybe they're catching that and they're like, Okay,
well these people seem to be at ease around this.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
Look right, well project, yeah, that's where I was going
to go with more of a being incognitio, not to
freak you out, you know, yeah, what you're looking at
is literally other thing. Everything other than the human touch
of a hat screams.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
Entity of some sort, right right.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
I don't know. I don't know them. They're fascinating to me.
Every time I'm along the Central Coast, I'm like, I'd
like to see one, let's take into but it's there
all the day time. I think I've been on the
Central Coast like once when it was it just obscenely foggy.

Speaker 4 (36:57):
Oh wouldn't don't. I don't remember. I've been to California
like twives. I don't remember it.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
It's beautiful there, it's beautiful. It's very steep, very steep,
like driving a big sur is kind of freaky for me.
It's like driving up high we went. Okay, I gotta
tell you a story about Highway one. So Highway One
from the Russian River north is steep, steep, and there's

(37:27):
no guard rails. There's no guardrails. And as you're coming
out of this town called Jenner, you like you cross
the Russian River, you go through Jenner and you see
this like rise, this rise, and then the the road
starts making turns because it's got to take a hell
of an elevation in a short amount of time, and

(37:49):
you can't just go straight up right you're carrying going
to do that. So there's this like zig zagging road
that goes up and you get there and you're driving
on one for a little while, and then you'll see
a sign for Myers Grade right off to the right,
my right, okay, so off to the right, and Myers

(38:11):
Grade goes up. Highway one kind of dips down. Well,
there's free range cattle all in there. It's cattle country,
it's dairy country. There's cows all over the place, and
it's wet and foggy a lot of the time. And
if you're driving north on one heading towards Fort Ross
State Park. You will see below Myers Grade on Highway

(38:35):
one a sign that shows an upside down cow and rocks.
I know what it means because I lived there. People
visiting probably wonder why there is a sign with an
upside down cow and rocks, because normally you'll just see
the rocks because they'll come tumbling down anyway, right, because

(38:56):
it's steep.

Speaker 4 (38:57):
And it's you know, right landslide.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
Yeah, that was weird. I started a weird howling outside. Yeah,
the cows fall onto the road and see upside down
cow with the rocks. And I don't know that there
is a sign like that anywhere else that I have seen.

(39:23):
And actually I saw that sign like I was browsing
I think Pinterest or something, just looking for, you know,
funny things, and I saw that. Somebody took a picture
of the sign, and I was like, oh, I know
exactly where that is. I might even have a picture
of it myself somewhere. So, yeah, nice where the falling

(39:46):
cows kind of like dog Soldiers where that one cow
lands in the middle of their campfire at the beginning
of the movie.

Speaker 4 (39:54):
We've Got Cows, Yeah, we.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
Got cows kind of girl, we got cows. Okay, moving on,
moving on? Okay, next one, the bunyip. I wish Jojo
was here because this is an Australian monster.

Speaker 4 (40:19):
I got one of those in my toe.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
You got a bun yip?

Speaker 3 (40:22):
I do too.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
I've had it to yep on my right. It sucks,
sucks having a bun yup in being a girl. Yeah
that wear the cute strappy shoes.

Speaker 4 (40:35):
It stinks.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
But anyway, the bun yip monster that is not attached
to either of our feet lives down in Australia, and
it is an aquatic creature. And it is described as
having a roundish head and a long neck and a
body not unlike a hippopotamus and or amanateee or you know.

(41:04):
It's aquatic. So some people will say it has a
body like an ox. Some will say it has a
body like a hippos Some will say it has a
body like a manatee. So there's conflicting reports on the
actual body, but they all agree it's got a long
neck and a round him so sign right, who wouldn't
sign up for that? And it likes to eat humans.

(41:26):
Humans are its favorite snackness snack I know, right, all
the good ones love it, specifically women and children because
apparently delicacy, Yeah, for all of the creatures, women and
children first, apparently. And it's said to make like a

(41:49):
booming noise or roaring noise. And it lives in the
swamps and lagoons of interior Australia. And to be honest
with you, Interior Australia is a freaking desert. So yeah,
I'm feeling like swamps and lagoons are probably few and
far between. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure

(42:13):
the interior is pretty arid, so I'm not there's obviously
water in some places, and that's where this thing's hanging out.
Now I don't know. It sounds like, please assord.

Speaker 4 (42:25):
Me, what do you think if they had enough room
to grow? But I mean, okay, so this part I
do actually know.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
So, so when you're looking at the continent of Australian Probaly,
it's gotta be upside down. So when you're actually looking
at it from east to west, there's.

Speaker 4 (42:51):
A big giant.

Speaker 3 (42:52):
Mountain range, and then right on the other end of
that mountain range, it is like it's where like all
the water collects and rops right there, and.

Speaker 4 (43:01):
It never makes it out to the house on the
west side. Yeah, it's on the west side of the mountain, right.

Speaker 2 (43:08):
The west side gets all the water and the east
side doesn't get as.

Speaker 3 (43:12):
Much, doesn't get as much exactly, And there is because
it's so vast and so unexplored that there's mad room
fur There to be a pleas out there, sure, yeah,
because I mean it's yeah, there's.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
Everything else on Australia is trying to murder you, So
why not just throw a pleasasaur in there?

Speaker 6 (43:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (43:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they could be they could be freaking
salt water, freaking barricudas, and they.

Speaker 7 (43:45):
Could be jabberwalking. I would not be surprised at all.
If he's like, there's jabberwalking, I'd be like, no ship,
all right, I believe you Australia, you say.

Speaker 4 (44:00):
Makes sense, But another couple of shrimp.

Speaker 6 (44:04):
On the bar.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
And it's a beautiful country, beautiful and beautiful country that
I have absolutely zero intent to ever set phone. And
I salute Jojo for living there, anybody who lives there.
Uh So the bun yip, I don't know. I don't

(44:28):
know if it's something like a relic species, right, like
a please assort ish thing that survived, or if they
are just oral traditions of extinct animals, right, right, so
they're they're oral stories passed down about things that aren't

(44:49):
around anymore. I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (44:55):
We'd have to find some.

Speaker 3 (44:58):
Some still inner living indigenous and find out, because that
would be up to if it's still in there, like
their modern like oh yeah, so and so went over
there last Thursday and almost got got my one.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
You know what I mean, you know, check it out
and you want to go in a bun yip expedition.

Speaker 4 (45:21):
No, I gets just going on the expedition.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
I already got bun yips, got bun yips, and they
do your bunyips hurt when the storm comes in.

Speaker 4 (45:32):
Oh yeah, everything does well.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
I'm everything hurts, waking up hurts anymore. It's yeah, I
don't want to complain about getting old because there's a
lot of people who don't have the opportunity and that's
not good.

Speaker 4 (45:47):
But everything I've ever broke hurts before.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
I've never broken anything on wood. Knock on wood. Do
you know the the knock on wood tradition that came from.

Speaker 3 (46:03):
Yeah, you knock on spirits in the trees for help.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
That's exactly what it is.

Speaker 4 (46:10):
Do you know this one?

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Yeah? Do they have something breezy? I know you know
these other things that we've talked about tonight.

Speaker 6 (46:21):
I know you do.

Speaker 4 (46:23):
I probably do. The line one does sound me to
me though I can't front.

Speaker 3 (46:30):
But then again, i'm not. That's one sector that I
haven't gone that in the Philippines, I've never really gotten into.
But there is a bunch of cool stuff there. I
just haven't gone down.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
We'll get down that, dude.

Speaker 4 (46:50):
I'm trying.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
I'm trying a little bit of everything, like me, kind
of like a short conversation about it, all right. I
can tell you little bit about a lot of things.
At one point, I probably told you a whole lot
about the little bit that I'm telling you currently. But
there's only so much room up here, yeah, and I

(47:12):
can only access so much of the memory apparently, So
I know enough to know a little bit about a
lot of things.

Speaker 4 (47:20):
Night, Jason, you have a good one.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
Man.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
Appreciate you coming in night.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
Note Jason Rolans, Yeah, so those are my topics tonight night.
Like I said, not feeling great. I don't know that
we're going to be going on much longer. But I
do want to talk about the book, so I have
my book recommendation tonight. Yeah, everybody who wants to know,

(47:47):
because I think last week I didn't bother doing one
because we had Kevin on for his part two and
I was completely ill prepared with my book. So this
week we have, since we were talking about Australia and
the Bunyips, We've got the Yowie in Search of Australia's Bigfoot.
So that was a terrible photo. I'm sorry it's so graty,

(48:10):
but the author is Tony Heay and Paul Crupper, and
I had the absolute pleasure of getting to spend some
time with Paul right around when this book was coming out,
which was a long, long long time ago. To be
honest with you, I want to say it was like
two thousand and six ish. But it was a good book.

(48:32):
It was a good but then it's a good book now.
If you are interested in the Yawi, which is if
you don't know Australia's version of Bigfoot, I highly recommend
you pick up the book if you can find it.
Since it's been in print for a while, I'm sure
you won't have a hard time finding it. I think
it was on Google Books. It's probably on Amazon. Go

(48:53):
check it out and read the stories. And if you
like that book, Paul has two other ones that are out.
I know one of them is The Yowie Files. I
can't remember the name of the third book, but check
out yowe in search of Australia's Bigfoot and come back
and let me know what you think in the chat.

(49:16):
Got anything breezy before I sign us out for the night.

Speaker 4 (49:20):
No, No, not really.

Speaker 5 (49:21):
I just love it.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
How whenever you listen to Bigfoot, like in encounters American
versus Australian, it's just always freaking hilarious to me, Like,
you know, like the American ones. I'll be like, well,
we're in the tree blind and then I heard the
big snap of the twig and it was giant, you know,

(49:44):
blah blah blah, and like you switch over.

Speaker 4 (49:47):
To Australia, it's like that bloody pig.

Speaker 3 (49:49):
It was like twenty feet away from a snitched me up,
threw of me bat forty feet landed on me tickets,
you know.

Speaker 4 (49:57):
It's like they're like always like, yeah, I had a friend.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
Got like clotheslined by a yawi and I was like dude,
you know. And then one of the scariest like encounters bigfoot,
Yawie Year and whatever around the world that I have
heard was this chick in the Blue Mountains and I
think she was on a was she on a path?

(50:27):
I can't remember she was on like out for a
walk or she was at for smoke because I've read
so many stories, all of them kind of blund together.
But anyway, this seem was like right on top of her.
It was like right like on her, like chasing her
or following her basically down this trail and she's trying
to get away from it, and it would it was
like ghosting her. It was like honor. And I just

(50:50):
remember reading her story thinking just lay down and die.
I think I would probably just lay down and die
because I know I can't tap rent it, so right,
all right, So that's it. That's it for us. Joe
doesn't have any more to say. Monica's out of stories

(51:13):
to tell tonight, and I'm sorry, it's not a long show.
I'm just I'm just not feeling very well.

Speaker 4 (51:19):
So we're lame tonight.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
I know we are. We suck tonight. Sorry, guys, we'll
bring it. We'll be better next week. We'll be better
next week, and then next week I'll do a show,
but I will not be on two weeks from now
because I will be out of town on vacation. So
Joe gets a break. Are you doing this weekend?

Speaker 3 (51:46):
Not this weekend, but the same week in you're out,
you'll because you'll be in San Antonio. I'll be at the.

Speaker 4 (51:53):
Convention.

Speaker 2 (51:55):
That's right, We'll be right next to each other.

Speaker 4 (51:58):
Yeah, so I probably won't be doing shows that week.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
Either, So yeah, there we go, and make sure that
you catch us over on Breezy's channel tomorrow night on
the Breezy Speakeasy.

Speaker 4 (52:12):
Well, thank you.

Speaker 2 (52:13):
Something we'll have at time ten pm Central, and then
I'll be on with Bigfoot Michigan Robs Saturday night at
ten Central. That's my time slot. Apparently everybody shows better
be on at ten because that's when I'm on, I guess.
So hopefully I catch you guys on one of those

(52:33):
other streams, and until next week, I appreciate everybody. Have
a good night. This is the future.
