1:41

We're down a man. We are. The

1:43

breath of old a man winter. Again,

1:45

this is the second time the winter

1:47

stole him from us. It's true. I talked

1:50

to him briefly. He was just coughing.

1:52

A storm. Yeah. We're trying to

1:54

get the video stuff to work.

1:56

I don't know if I screwed

1:58

it up. He's caught he sounds

2:00

like garbage. He's half-dead, he is

2:02

not happy with these cameras. Nor

2:04

am I, quite frankly. Nor am

2:06

I. Nor am I. But Robert

2:08

and I are here holding it

2:10

2:12

top of the show, Robert. Yes,

2:14

indeed. People that are on the

2:16

$10 tier can see them rocking

2:18

here, the Kryptonaut, hoodie. Yeah, indeed.

2:20

People that are on the $10

2:23

tier can see them rock it

2:25

here, the Crypt, I'm waiting for

2:27

the impact to happen. Hey, but hellarspace.com,

2:29

get yourself that merch. We

2:31

got the hoodie, we got the long excuse.

2:33

I even got, I don't know if I can

2:35

do this or not without showing my titties. Let's

2:38

see, I haven't got underneath this, the camera

2:40

can see it. Oh, another t-shirt. What a

2:42

swag party you want. There you go, I

2:44

just got, well. Testprints. I also like the

2:46

Cannibal Corpse hat. You're rocking. Oh yeah. Yeah,

2:48

there you go. Yeah, it's tight. You know,

2:51

it's funny. Actually, this hat, I don't know

2:53

if you remembered years ago, you and I

2:55

were at one of Liam's baseball games. And

2:57

I've had a baseball game just across the

2:59

way. Yes. I ordered the hat that day.

3:01

Really? It's been sitting in my closet now

3:03

for years. I just have never worn it.

3:06

So you just donned it now. I just,

3:08

the last couple weeks, I was, Nicole, I,

3:10

we're going to go somewhere and I was

3:12

like, yeah, I'm going to wear my cannibal corpse

3:14

hat. She's like, you're not wearing a cannibal corpse

3:16

hat to this event. And I was like, how

3:19

dare you first of all, tell me that I

3:21

can't wear a cannibal corpse. What's at a PTA

3:23

meeting? It may have been something... It's ice cream

3:25

social? Maybe I'll send it to do with school.

3:27

I forget. Yeah, it could have been. But still

3:30

that just... It shows your apparent to be reckoned

3:32

with. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I listen to Cannibal Corpse.

3:34

Yes, you do. Yeah, what do you listen to?

3:36

Dave Matthews Band? Wow. We'll eat

3:38

you. Yeah, and kill you. Regardless,

3:40

3:51

this week, the devouring deity of

3:53

Daphra. Did I say all that

3:55

correctly? Yeah, a lot of D's.

3:57

A lot of D's. All right,

3:59

well. Now you and I have gone over

4:01

this intro for most of the time we've

4:03

been here actually. You know, and it

4:05

only... barely took an hour well between

4:07

me trying to get the camera set

4:09

up yeah and convinced I'm doing it

4:12

wrong and then trying to rewrite the

4:14

intro I know without Papa Chris just

4:16

it all falls did the video stuff

4:18

I don't know anything I'm doing with

4:20

but you know what we're we're doing

4:22

this dude I mean Arctic thunderdome protocols

4:24

have been enacted true let's get started

4:26

with lurking in the murky depths of

4:28

a landlocked lake in West Africa's remote

4:31

daffir region this colossal flesh eating

4:33

aquatic aquatic anomaly was worshipped

4:35

as a god by locals,

4:37

who, unlike skeptical Christian missionaries,

4:39

were well aware of the

4:41

dangers faced by those who

4:43

strayed too close to the

4:45

blood-slicked rocks at the water's

4:47

edge, as just one misstep

4:49

could mean instant death. Yeah,

4:51

death in the water. Absolutely. And

4:53

not just the typical death that

4:55

comes of, I guess, falling on

4:57

blood-slick rocks and then maybe hitting

4:59

your head and, you know, expiring.

5:01

Well, there's something in the water.

5:03

But the question is when you

5:06

get to the rocks, you're like,

5:08

why Papa Bob? Why are they

5:10

slicked with blood? Oh, we will

5:12

find out. Okay. First of all,

5:14

all right, if I get to

5:16

the rocks, I'm not big. Listen

5:18

here, all right, yeah, you're not

5:20

getting this one past me blood

5:22

rock You know, it's going to

5:24

be I mean as a proposed

5:26

it seems very much like a

5:28

Cannibal corpse cover. Okay, cool. Sweet

5:30

like butchered at birth mutilated. Awesome.

5:32

Maybe not that brutal but still

5:34

Butchered at birth is probably my

5:36

favorite record tomb of mutilated is

5:38

pretty dope though, too fair enough

5:40

and of course vile with our

5:42

boy George corpse grinder but regardless

5:44

Robert Let's get started yeah you

5:46

go back I stumbled across

5:48

this fascinating and frankly ghastly

5:51

account years ago in the

5:53

late great Bradstegers 2010 compendium

5:56

of the weird, real monsters,

5:58

gruesome critters, and beasts

6:00

from the dark side. We have

6:02

used this reference in the past

6:04

for I think like some boogie

6:06

man type stuff and other things.

6:08

It's a great book. All of

6:10

his books are fun. I'm a

6:12

big fan of the Stiger. And

6:14

I found myself instantly enthralled. In

6:16

a chapter enticingly titled Dinosaurs

6:18

that live and prowl in

6:21

the jungles. Words that I

6:23

know warmed the hearts of

6:25

prehistoric monster loving crypto kids

6:27

everywhere. This one included. Stiger

6:29

included as his first entry

6:31

an account authored by Pastor

6:33

Robin Swope, who, while doing

6:36

missionary work in West Africa,

6:38

was introduced not only to

6:40

a horrific legend regarding a

6:43

mammoth meat-eating monstrosity, not to

6:45

mention the blood cult that

6:47

rose up around it, but, unlikely

6:49

as it may seem, the colossal

6:52

carnivore itself, prompting

6:54

him to write these words as the

6:56

title to his piece. Do not go

6:58

in the water or the God will eat

7:00

you alive. I mean if there's

7:03

ever a reason not to go

7:05

in the water buddy. Yeah, it's

7:07

because you're going to be eating

7:09

by a God. That's true. I

7:11

mean, and how metal is that?

7:13

Oh, super metal. Like that's fully

7:15

fucking metal. The God in the

7:17

water that eats you. It's a

7:19

Christian missionary, you know, who's now elevated

7:22

to like full ministerial ministerial ministerial.

7:24

Yeah. the carnivorous basement dweller all

7:26

that that little thing yeah that

7:28

the cat eating yes monster yes

7:31

it's like the worst part of

7:33

goollies and all of those tiny

7:35

monster movies all wrapped in the

7:37

worst okay so the worst part

7:40

of goollies was the glowing green

7:42

eyes oh yeah like I just

7:44

revisited that movie this weekend I

7:47

was telling you about it I

7:49

dare say the goollies themselves are

7:51

probably they're adorable sure super cute oh

7:53

yeah I thought I need to revisit

7:56

goollies too because I remember that being

7:58

a much more of a much more of a going on.

8:00

No, it takes itself deadly serious. It's super

8:02

serious. Yeah, wicked. But it actually is better

8:04

for it because, I mean, you know, part

8:06

two in the carnival is fine. Right. But it's

8:08

all antics all the time. But you only get

8:10

the goolly out of the toilet once, man, and

8:12

then the dude's dad comes back from the dad

8:14

and he's like, this, he's like, you want a

8:16

baby? And it's just like, oh, dog. Yeah. I

8:18

still whatever, it's classic, it's classic, it's classic, I

8:21

love, I love it, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love,

8:23

I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love,

8:25

I love, I love, I love, I love, I love. It's classic, I love,

8:27

I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love,

8:29

I love. Nowadays, the Reverend Swope,

8:31

known in some circles as

8:34

the paranormal pastor, is a

8:36

Christian minister, a freelance journalist

8:39

who's written for such esteemed

8:41

publications as Fate Magazine, and

8:44

a seminary-trained exorcist who has

8:46

ministered to the homeless in

8:49

New York City's Hell's Kitchen,

8:51

Daredevil's Home. Oh, yes. And most

8:53

significantly, at least in regards to

8:56

this case, served as a missionary

8:58

in Bobo. Diulasso, I

9:00

hope I'm getting this right,

9:02

Bobo DiLasso, the second largest

9:04

city in Burkina Faso during

9:07

the 1980s. All right man, this guy

9:09

is a man about town. Oh, absolutely.

9:11

I mean, I think I'm busy. I

9:13

dare say Reverend Swope's probably

9:15

more busy than I am. Oh, at

9:17

this point. Yeah, he's got more accredations

9:20

than I do. Well, yeah, but you're

9:22

not going for it. Man, I got

9:24

a Google certificate. I got a Google

9:27

certificate. both men of the cloth here.

9:29

I don't know what my certificates for

9:31

though. I had a Microsoft certificate too.

9:34

Universalist sort of thing. Like a computer

9:36

certificate. The different trainings you have. Yeah,

9:38

you know what? I can do, can

9:41

find space, dog. It's a big one.

9:43

I'm registered as an expert in child

9:45

CPR. Are you really? Yes. Okay. But it's

9:47

been a while. You're looking like you

9:49

don't remember. So here's the thing. This

9:52

was when my note. 28 year old

9:54

nephew okay okay it was four okay

9:56

so I could probably stand up re-up

9:58

yeah you're supposed to re- do they

10:00

have like every couple like I

10:02

think like every year? Yeah I'd

10:04

like to because you know I

10:07

don't want anything bad happening to

10:09

kids when I'm around. I don't

10:11

know how to use one of

10:13

those AED things. What is that?

10:15

You know that they think you

10:17

attach new people and then it's

10:19

like the the shock the shock

10:21

battles? Yeah right on yeah. All

10:23

right well leave all that. In

10:25

the summer of 1986. Once there.

10:28

He was taken under the wings

10:30

of more seasoned local missionaries,

10:32

one of whom had held

10:34

that post for over ten

10:36

years, and was therefore very

10:38

familiar with local geography and

10:40

customs. It would be one such

10:42

strange custom that would take this

10:45

newly minted man of the cloth

10:47

and expose him to a fetid

10:49

arena of ritualized killing representing at

10:52

least in the eyes of his

10:54

fellow missionaries and on holy Kabul

10:56

designed to gain the occult favors

10:58

of an arcane aquatic deity. Hell

11:01

yeah, dude. It's my favorite type

11:03

of Kabul. Oh yeah. Hell yeah.

11:05

Hell yes. Not long after he

11:08

arrived, Robin was shown to his

11:10

room and given a cursory tour

11:12

of the facility that was to

11:14

be his home for the foreseeable

11:16

future. After the dispatching of the

11:19

preliminaries, excuse me, after dispatching with the

11:21

preliminaries, let me read that the right

11:23

way, the nameless senior man, the one

11:25

that had been there for ten years,

11:28

and some fellow missionaries offered to take

11:30

Robin out for a little jaunt in

11:32

the country. In no time, they packed

11:34

the new guy up into their land

11:36

rover and told him they were about

11:38

to take him to a place known

11:41

as Daphra. Daphra. I'm going

11:43

to explain later that this

11:45

is a language Odyssey. He

11:47

originally wrote it as Defara,

11:49

which fucking made me go

11:51

through a hell of comparative

11:54

maps and there's no more

11:56

liquid of fucking geography than

11:58

Africa. God bless it. and

12:00

it was just a shit show

12:02

but it's daphra so i'm sorry

12:04

i just fucking the hell of

12:07

maps is my favorite hell yeah

12:09

no doubt which they referred to

12:11

as the rocks because in robins

12:14

words the hundred meter diameter hole

12:16

in the earth is edged by

12:18

sharp shale cliffs Now before

12:20

we dive head first, yeah, it's

12:23

a pun, suck on that for

12:25

a while, into this captivating account,

12:27

a little background on this venue

12:30

is in order. According to the

12:32

travel website, Young Pioneer Tours, and

12:34

I don't know why it sounds

12:37

weird to me, Young Pioneer

12:39

Tours, quote, near the city

12:41

of Bobo Dielasso is a

12:43

very important site to the

12:45

local community. The site of

12:47

Daphra... A water source is

12:50

claimed to be a very

12:52

powerful site for animist rituals.

12:54

The name of the site

12:56

means grandfather in the Bobo

12:59

language, however fish are so

13:01

important to that ethnic group

13:03

that grandfather is also how they

13:06

call fish. The logo legend goes

13:08

that after a tough war, as

13:10

opposed, with neighboring communities, the Bobo

13:12

came back to the lands of

13:14

Sia now called... Bobo Diilasso and

13:17

were unable to find water and

13:19

a place to rest, war weary

13:21

as they were. It was only

13:23

after a long search that they

13:26

were finally led by animals to

13:28

the water source that would become

13:30

Daphra. Grateful to the local spirits

13:33

it was decided that Daphra's waters

13:35

would stay untouched and that the

13:37

fish living in its water would

13:40

not be killed or fished but

13:42

rather given offerings to." So

13:44

that's just a... Quick little picture of

13:46

why this place is sacred. There

13:48

you go. Don't touch the fish.

13:50

Don't touch the fucking fish. Robin

13:53

and his new comrades made

13:55

the nearly hour-long trip into

13:57

the then isolated grassland filled...

13:59

with stunning rock formations which

14:02

have been compared to those

14:04

found in central Mali as

14:06

well as the United States

14:08

Monument Valley. You know that

14:11

big like sweeping John Ford,

14:13

John Wayne, like Roadrunner and

14:15

Wiley Coyote kind of landscape.

14:17

Nice. Earning the place the

14:20

unofficial moniker of Little Dogon

14:22

Country. In an interesting, though,

14:24

likely unrelated note, the Dogon

14:27

people have been popular with

14:29

ancient alien officionadoes for their

14:32

seemingly inexplicable knowledge regarding the

14:34

50-year orbit of the star

14:36

Sirius B around its sister

14:39

star, Sirius A. Evidently this

14:41

distant celestial body had been

14:43

known to the Dogon for

14:45

millennia. This was confirmed

14:47

by French anthropologists Marcel

14:50

Griel. and germane Dieterlin who

14:52

had been working with and

14:54

learning from the dogan since

14:56

1931 and had themselves been

14:58

chronicling their cosmic origin story

15:01

since the late 1940s. The

15:03

rub being that it wasn't

15:05

until the 70s that

15:07

serious B was officially

15:09

discovered by modern scientists,

15:12

scientists using advanced telescopes.

15:14

So like 20-something years

15:16

before it was confirmed by

15:18

these anthropologists and... allegedly centuries

15:20

before they they and they're

15:23

very popular for this now

15:25

like it's like a popular

15:27

mystery right right huh

15:29

interesting the dogan also claimed

15:32

that their primordial ancestors were

15:34

amphibious hermaphroditic green-skinned mer creatures

15:36

known as the nomo who

15:38

arrived on earth in a

15:40

space arc accompanied by fire

15:42

and thunder fucking dope fuck

15:45

yeah An interstellar craft which

15:47

originally hailed from the serious

15:49

star system. Remind anybody of

15:51

the sexy sea beasts of

15:53

serious egg? Oh day! Little

15:56

dirty boys! We're in the

15:58

stars and we're getting... dirty!

16:00

These aquatic aliens, known as

16:02

masters of water, the monitors,

16:04

and the teachers, were not

16:06

only the alleged progenitors of

16:08

the Dogan race, but of

16:10

civilization itself. Tradition held that

16:12

the Nomo lived within a

16:14

reservoir of water carved out

16:17

by their craft near the

16:19

ancestral settlement of the Dogan.

16:21

So the ship comes in.

16:23

digs a big hole, fills

16:25

with water, they're hanging out

16:27

in their like personal pool

16:29

outside the fucking village, you know,

16:31

creating civilization. Right. All

16:33

right. So now that I think about it,

16:36

maybe the fact that they might

16:38

have had pets aboard their ship

16:40

who occupied their own pools isn't

16:42

so outrageous after all. So as

16:44

I said, probably not related, but the

16:46

fact that nearby. there's a whole

16:49

culture wrapped around aquatic creatures from

16:51

another planet. I'm not saying this

16:53

is definitive in any way. But

16:56

it's interesting given the, you know,

16:58

geographic location. It's a nice little

17:00

coinky dink. Yeah, okay. I like

17:03

it. Yeah. On the site. Go

17:05

Nomad.com! Travel writer Jonathan David Thompson

17:07

described his trip to Daphra's sacral

17:10

pool, writing that the roads were

17:12

muddy and that our vehicle slowed

17:15

every 10 to 15 feet to

17:17

allow one or both of the

17:19

front tires to drop into one

17:21

of the many deep water-filled gouges

17:23

that were scattered about the road.

17:25

So this is a more modern account.

17:28

I'm using this to help paint

17:30

a picture of the terrain. I'll

17:32

be bouncing back and forth. I'll

17:34

try to make it clear. Perhaps

17:36

Robin had a similar experience on

17:38

his journey. Either way, finally arriving

17:40

at the base of the structure

17:42

that his peers had referred to

17:44

as the rocks, the young pastor

17:46

and his cohorts climbed out of

17:48

the vehicle and began making their

17:50

way up the half-mile trek over

17:52

rough, slick terrain. Nearing Daphra visitors,

17:54

according to A Chronicle of the

17:57

Hike made decades later by

17:59

Thompson, passed over a clear

18:01

stream, ascending a dry plateau

18:03

that carried travelers over several

18:06

weather terrorist rock faces. After

18:08

reaching the apex, the descent

18:10

into the water carved canyon

18:13

was as abrupt as it

18:15

was steep. So, I mean, it's

18:17

just like, like something on a

18:19

dune to me, like a, like a

18:22

sich almost, like you're up this,

18:24

like shitty. like wet environment then

18:26

you get to this rock thing

18:28

where you have to walk up

18:30

this narrow passage and then this

18:32

brings you to a gorge right

18:34

that's completely closed off at least

18:36

the way I'm seeing it in my head

18:38

and and a shit show as we'll be getting

18:40

to in a moment but yeah

18:43

it's interesting once they arrived at

18:45

their destination Robin painted a verbal

18:47

picture that is to say the

18:49

least evocative quote the first

18:52

thing you notice is the stench It

18:54

is a dank putrid odor of

18:56

blood, bile, and rotting gore that

18:58

permeates the entire valley. It is

19:00

the odor of death. The second

19:02

thing you notice is the blood.

19:04

At first glance, it looks as

19:06

if the entire floor of the

19:08

ravine is covered in dark, thick

19:11

blood. Every rock has been used

19:13

to carve the animals that have

19:15

been brought down the path for

19:17

sacrifice, and it is not only

19:19

covered in the thick fluid of

19:21

life, but in distinguishable pieces of

19:23

flesh and bone that lay scattered

19:25

about as evidence of the hecatum

19:27

butchery that's... a mass sacrifice or

19:29

slaughter. Packatoom, I like it. Heckatoo!

19:31

That befalls the victims of the

19:34

sacred god. A god that dwells

19:36

in the dark recesses of the

19:38

watery abyss that dominates the center

19:40

of the chasm. Dude, it is

19:42

Cannibal Corpse Lake! Yeah, I love

19:44

it! A hundred percent! This is

19:46

wicked! Yeah! This is so much

19:48

fun! You're just like, what? You're

19:50

like, smell it? Yeah, bro! Get

19:52

your, get your swimming trunks on,

19:54

dude! Get your water shoes! Get the

19:56

kids for the floaties. We're going to

19:58

Campbell Corpse Lake! Oh my. This is

20:01

the place that's got a stink. Stink.

20:03

Oh God. It's like the heat is

20:05

not going to help the stink. It's

20:07

going to make it that much worse.

20:09

You know it. Oh, okay. To

20:12

further flesh out, again, pun city,

20:14

the description of this despicable spot,

20:16

we referred to the account pen

20:18

decades later by the unnamed young

20:21

pioneer tour author who wrote, reaching

20:23

the site as our local guide was

20:25

calling the spirits by screaming. Daphra

20:27

and knocking on wood, we found

20:30

a man carrying a goat on

20:32

his shoulders. We're gonna go with

20:34

that buddy, we do with that

20:36

goat, is the goat's birthday party?

20:39

Yeah, it's his birthday! It's Campbell

20:41

Corpse Lake, place for birthday. There's

20:43

a bounce house, it's gonna be great.

20:45

It's gonna go swim, dude, happy

20:48

birthday goat. Or? Yeah, maybe not.

20:50

Okay. It was then that

20:52

we were introduced to the

20:54

whole process. People who have

20:56

a wish, such as fertility,

20:58

finding a job, bountiful harvest,

21:00

and so on. So you're

21:02

going to kill a goat for

21:04

a boner? Come to Daphra to

21:06

slit a chicken's throat on an

21:08

altar. The chicken's blood is dropped

21:10

on the floor and that goes

21:13

to the ancestors while the person

21:15

making the sacrifice formulate their wish

21:17

in their mind. Then the chicken

21:20

is thrown on the floor. The

21:22

atmosphere in Daphra is very tense

21:24

with some things such as photos

21:27

and wearing the color red being

21:29

taboo and forbidden. The locals there

21:31

mean business. The site sees a

21:33

lot of people with the floor being

21:36

covered and caked blood. and feathers.

21:38

So here's part of the process.

21:40

I wasn't going to get like

21:42

into the weeds, but it's kind

21:44

of interesting. Okay. It's a

21:46

lot more advanced now, I think, than

21:48

it was back in the day in

21:50

when Robin Swope was there, but we'll

21:52

deal with that in a little bit.

21:55

They kill the chicken and they drop

21:57

it. If it lands face down, you are

21:59

concerned. that are to be

22:01

worthy of making the sacrifice. If

22:03

it lands on its back, you're

22:05

just impure or whatever, and it

22:08

shouldn't count. And then what they

22:10

do is they, the blood goes

22:12

to the ancestors, that's why it's

22:15

all over the place. The gizzards,

22:17

the guts, go to the fucking,

22:19

the monster in the lake, and

22:21

the chicken itself goes to

22:24

the sacrificial priestly class, for

22:26

lack of a better term.

22:28

That's the modern way of doing it.

22:30

Okay, so they're just getting to eat the

22:32

animal and then the sack goes Okay, at

22:34

least you're using the animal. Yeah, it's fast.

22:37

No, it's true. It's true. And they're not

22:39

allowed to take money right? So they eat

22:41

and they get I'll get into that a

22:43

little more later, but it's just like one

22:45

of the witnesses was saying yeah, and sometimes

22:47

when it landed the wrong way, they just

22:50

pulled the two out of three. I was

22:52

thinking the same thing. I'm like, is this

22:54

like a bottle flip where you go to

22:56

like flip a bottle on a table or

22:58

like do the, like, like, you know. you

23:01

have a bottle when you go to

23:03

flip it and you see if you

23:05

can land it, you're like, oh damn

23:08

it, try it again, just keep trying

23:10

to throw it over and over. You

23:12

know, or like hacky sack of halfway

23:15

down, but like, oh, we'll go, it

23:17

went, it worked. Or maybe just like

23:19

nudge it when it lands, like, no,

23:22

like, the God, it's didn't see it.

23:24

There you go. Yeah. As if. They're

23:26

always seeing it. You make

23:28

your wish. Okay. And sacrifice the

23:31

goat to the beasts. Okay. Or,

23:33

you know, the super beast, whatever.

23:35

You know, noble, you know, sacrifice.

23:38

Cool. That's good for everyone. But

23:40

if it comes true, within

23:42

two weeks, you have to bring the

23:45

goat up, you know, the one you

23:47

carry piggyback style. Okay. And sacrifice

23:49

the goat to the beasts.

23:52

Okay. Or, you know, the super beast,

23:54

whatever. Because you better say

23:56

thank you or you're fucked. and somehow

23:58

I think the way will turn back

24:01

on itself or whatever. And maybe

24:03

you'll end up screw. How do

24:05

you throw a goat? I mean, I'm sure

24:07

they sacrifice it first. Flip it? I

24:09

don't think you throw goats live into

24:11

the water. No, no, I mean, if

24:14

you actually kill it, you gotta pick

24:16

a goat and flip it. I mean, if

24:18

you actually you kill it, you

24:20

gotta pick a goat and flip it. I

24:22

mean, if you're giving it, you kill it,

24:24

you gotta pick a goat and then, if

24:26

you're giving it. Yeah. And hope it lands

24:29

face up? Oh my God, I didn't even

24:31

think about that. No, I don't think that

24:33

matters. I think that's the whether or not

24:35

you get to make the wish. I think

24:37

by that point your wish came true. Gotcha.

24:39

Oh, so this is just an after like

24:42

thought of like a fuck up image that

24:44

I saw on one of these websites and

24:46

that is these trees, I forget, there's some

24:48

sort of hardwood that are sort of

24:50

situated randomly around this fucking

24:52

body of water with just wet.

24:55

Shitty goat pelt's hanging out of

24:57

it. Sort of like the fucking

24:59

like like the rancid version of

25:02

the Golden Fleece, right? You know,

25:04

they probably use the pelt's for

25:06

clothing or whatever Maybe I mean,

25:09

there's no other reason to keep

25:11

that to keep them then like

25:13

they're I'm sure you can make

25:16

shit out like like like like

25:18

leather and stuff like that. Yeah,

25:20

I'd like to think that

25:23

they're using don't Moccasins. But

25:25

it was different in the

25:27

80s. Yeah, I'm sure, you know.

25:29

Everything was. Yeah, well, fair enough.

25:31

Everything was different in the 80s.

25:34

In Duvedilly. All right,

25:36

so Thompson, again, years

25:38

after Swope's encounter, further

25:40

explained, after having slit the

25:42

chicken's throat, Local officians are brought the

25:44

chicken which is then eviscerated the intestines

25:46

of the chicken are given to the

25:48

person who came to make so I

25:51

think I already went already through this

25:53

we don't need to do this and

25:55

The next step in the process chicken

25:57

intestines are thrown into the pond for

25:59

the fish The fish throw themselves

26:01

voraciously at the innards of the

26:03

poultry like sharks. Catfish. Catfish. Catfish.

26:05

I've fished with chicken gizzards before

26:07

for catfish. Sure. Yeah, totally. And

26:10

bullhead too. I'll go for it.

26:12

But at this point, again, recently,

26:14

21st century, a bunch of little

26:16

fish. Not talking big boy at this

26:18

point. Yeah. But well, I don't want to get

26:20

ahead of myself too much here. It's

26:22

sort of, it bounces back and forth,

26:24

but we're just having a good time.

26:27

We're taking the journey. We're

26:29

taking the journey. taking the

26:31

journey together, the cannibal corpse

26:33

lake, the sacrificial animals, the

26:35

journey to cannibal corpse lake.

26:37

And here's where I explain the

26:39

difference. By the time of these

26:42

later accounts, an entire village of

26:44

mud-built homes was erected at the

26:46

base of the rocks. And the

26:49

community, always eager to find new

26:51

ways to thrive in this often

26:53

unforgiving environment, now do everything from

26:55

selling chickens on the roadside to

26:58

brewing Dolo, a local millet beer,

27:00

in a large iron cauldron until

27:02

the thick maroon liquid bubbles over

27:04

the lip. This was not for

27:07

the swimming god, but for the

27:09

self-designated priests who now performed the

27:11

livestock killings at the site. Not

27:13

for money, as that's forbidden, like

27:15

I just said, but for a

27:17

bottle of dolo and the flesh

27:19

of the chicken to fill their

27:21

bellies, while its guts are offered

27:24

to the beast within the cloudy

27:26

depths. of the sacrificial pit. It's

27:28

a win-win for everybody. In the

27:30

mid 80s, however, it seems as

27:32

if things were much less regulated

27:34

and that those visiting the site

27:36

butchered the animals themselves and it

27:38

was not given to a preordained

27:40

person on an altar. Like now

27:42

it's a designated altar with designated

27:44

people that that's their livelihood basically.

27:46

Okay, yeah. Back then you just

27:49

brought your animal up, killed your

27:51

animal, any fucking old place and

27:53

didn't do whatever. but whatever they

27:55

they did that they killed it

27:57

wherever they chose causing the

28:00

area to be slick with

28:02

blood bones and rotting organs

28:04

making the scene resemble one

28:06

of as Pastor Swope described

28:08

wholesale carnage as if a

28:11

slaughterhouse had been turned inside

28:13

out. Oh boy yummy. Okay

28:15

well what's more though there

28:17

were catfish in the pond

28:20

there was also something much

28:22

bigger than any known African

28:24

catfish. A colossal creature whose

28:26

hunger was seeming, excuse me,

28:29

whose hunger seemingly knew no

28:31

bounds. Robin continued his description

28:33

of the pool as it

28:36

looked back in 86, when

28:38

it was set within the

28:40

reeking blood-soaked area. He wrote, The

28:42

murky pond is roughly kidney-shaped and

28:45

covers an area just slightly smaller

28:47

than that of an Olympic-sized pool.

28:49

How deep it is no one

28:51

can know since the fertility god

28:54

that abides here is no idol

28:56

made out of wood or stone.

28:58

No, the fertility god that demands

29:01

the sacrifice of highly prized livestock

29:03

is a living creature. A flesh-eating

29:05

aquatic creature of shocking proportions that

29:08

lives in a small lake. far

29:10

from any other source of fresh

29:12

flowing water. And that's the other

29:14

thing. It is like, like I said, there's

29:17

no, no body water that feeds it.

29:19

It doesn't drain out. So it's

29:21

not like, it's not like a

29:23

Sanote or anything like that, where

29:25

it's connected to like underground rivers.

29:27

I mean, I don't, I can't, there's no

29:30

way I can know, but, and there might

29:32

be like a little. trickling spring or something,

29:34

but not like something where a large creature

29:36

could come in. Yeah, I'm thinking maybe if

29:39

it was like fed underground by something that

29:41

could change everything. But that's like the old

29:43

legend with Nessie, where like all of the,

29:45

you know, the locks in, you know, that,

29:48

you know, that fault line there are allegedly

29:50

connected. But I don't know if that's really

29:52

true. Only reason I even bring it up

29:54

is because the only experience I had with

29:57

anything like this is when Nicole and I

29:59

were on honeymoon. wells in their sonotes. So they

30:01

like showed you a diagram of like, well, here's

30:03

a well here and then here's a well here

30:05

and then here's a well here. And it's kind

30:08

of cool. And interestingly enough, what they thought was

30:10

like the afterlife. And they were filled with guess

30:12

what? Catfish. Catfish. Oh really? Yeah, tons of

30:14

catfish and bullhead in there. Yeah. Nicole was like,

30:16

I'm gonna go to the women. I'm like, good

30:19

luck with the curse. See. See you back of the back of

30:21

the US. See you back of the US. See you back of

30:23

the US. Did she go swimming? Yeah,

30:25

she loved it. God bless her.

30:27

Me? It's a graveyard. Oh, she's

30:29

so courageous. I'm not swimming in

30:32

a graveyard. I'm with you, buddy.

30:34

I wouldn't have done it either.

30:36

I wasn't drunk enough. I can

30:38

still admire her while knowing she's

30:41

a damn full. Ripping a missile.

30:43

Smoking a grit in the side

30:45

of that thing is being like,

30:47

enjoy your swim. I'm going to

30:50

be up here. Back to it. Yes,

30:52

indeed. The quote continues, is rumored

30:54

to have grown to such

30:56

enormous size, not only because

30:58

of its taste for raw

31:00

flesh, but also because of

31:02

the occult forces which it

31:04

allegedly wields. Oh cool. The

31:07

villagers of Coro and the

31:09

surrounding area flock here, so

31:11

that their infertile women may

31:13

bear healthy offspring. Famines decimated

31:15

the area's population and infant mortality

31:17

rate is close to 10%. This

31:19

is Robin talking about the situation

31:21

in the 1986. That sucks man,

31:23

it's a bummer. Yeah, it's terrible.

31:25

Yeah, Jesus. Every idea starts with

31:28

a problem. Morby Parkers was

31:30

simple. Glasses are too expensive.

31:32

So, they set out to

31:34

change that. By designing glasses

31:36

in-house and selling directly to

31:38

customers, they're able to offer

31:40

prescription eyewear that's expertly crafted

31:42

and unexpectedly affordable. Warby Parker

31:45

glasses are made from premium

31:47

materials like impact resistant polycarbonate

31:49

and custom acetate and they

31:51

start at just $95 including

31:53

prescription lenses. Get glasses made

31:55

from the good stuff. Stop

31:57

by a Warby Parker store near you.

31:59

We like to do the opposite of

32:01

what Big Wireless does. They charge you

32:03

a lot, we charge you a little.

32:06

So naturally, when they announced they'd be

32:08

raising their prices due to inflation, we

32:10

decided to deflate our prices due to

32:12

not hating you. That's right, we're cutting

32:14

the price of Mint unlimited from $30

32:16

a month to just $15 a month.

32:18

Give it a try at MintMobile.com/switch. $45

32:20

up front payment equivalent to $15 per

32:22

month, new customers on first three-month plan

32:24

only, taxes and fees extra. Speed lower

32:27

above 40 gigabytes see details. The

32:29

nationals struggle to eke out the

32:31

most meager of existence, he continues,

32:33

yet they offer up what is

32:36

sometimes their only source of protein

32:38

in order to procure the healthy birth

32:40

of a child. They believe that if

32:42

they do not sacrifice to the God

32:45

in the water, they risk not only

32:47

the loss of their children that are

32:49

still in utero, but they flirt with

32:51

the chance that they themselves might become

32:54

sterile. If that curse should be

32:56

upon them, any hope for

32:58

any offspring will be denied

33:00

them forever. They live in

33:02

darkness and fear, enslaved to

33:04

the power of the behemoth

33:07

beneath, the behemoth beneath,

33:09

that's one phrase, the

33:11

waters of Daphra. Oh wow. Or

33:13

as he says, Defara, which as

33:15

I mentioned earlier, Cuz me

33:18

all sorts of confused the hell

33:20

of 27 maps. Yes, exactly Nice.

33:22

It's fucking crazy It keeps going

33:24

done to say it is a

33:26

fear that also lives in legend

33:28

You cannot go in the water

33:31

of Daphra. I'm just gonna

33:33

pronounce what it what it

33:35

really is. Oh gotcha. The god

33:37

will eat you alive Such was

33:39

the fate of the first Western

33:41

explorer who happened upon the site

33:43

in the middle of the 19th

33:45

century It is rumored that he scoffed

33:48

at the native superstitions and dove

33:50

off the cliffs into the milky

33:52

water of the pool. He never

33:54

surfaced. It's a very western thing

33:57

to do. What? Excuse me? What's that?

33:59

I'll go. swim. Oh, shit. Yeah.

34:02

Why is it milky though? I mean, I don't

34:04

know if it's like some mineral or hard

34:07

water or I mean blood I could see but

34:09

but like a cloudy milky. It's probably something

34:11

to do with the rocks. Like it's just it's

34:13

probably not reaching off the minerals clear. Yeah,

34:15

it's probably got some sort of like minerals or

34:17

something in it making it kind of like

34:19

a milky. Yeah, which if you can't see man,

34:21

if that water ain't clear, I mean, I

34:24

ain't going in anyway. But if I can't see

34:26

that water at the bottom. No. Yeah, I

34:28

don't even go in my pool. You don't know

34:30

what's in there. Well, you do. I mean,

34:32

you don't. I mean, until you get in. It's

34:34

fucking clear. Bro. And it's what they want

34:36

you to think. Okay. Yeah. You know what? If

34:38

there was a an interdimensional portal, there you

34:41

It could be Foxville. I washed house one and

34:43

two. Oh boy. Yeah, I know what happened

34:45

to the pool. That was a problem. I think

34:47

it was in two. There

34:49

was like the kid disappeared in a

34:51

pool in one, I think, didn't he?

34:53

Was it a pool or a tub?

34:56

Honestly, I don't even know. I could

34:58

be making this up. Like, I actually

35:00

like the first one. I like the

35:02

first one's fun. I mean, with, you

35:04

know, bowl. Yeah, with Big Ben. Yeah.

35:06

You can't hurt me, Ben. He's like,

35:08

no, Roger or whatever. He's like, Roger

35:10

is like, Rog, you're some shit. I

35:12

got that on my list to watch

35:14

too. Oh yeah. You're going down 80s

35:17

lane. I love it. Dude, I did

35:19

from beyond. I did. We did so

35:21

classic. So, so much fun dude. And

35:23

yeah, I'm trying to get Chuchon bored.

35:25

He's half there. Yeah. Yeah. He's getting

35:27

there. He's, you know, it's okay. He,

35:29

these will be fun bonding moments that

35:31

he will, he will cherish the memories

35:33

and you were, you were instilling in

35:36

him. Exactly. A love for it that

35:38

will endure. So, I think it's the

35:40

right way. All right. We ain't going

35:42

to the water, Bobby. No, we're not.

35:44

Where are we going to be going?

35:46

Yes, that's true. Uh, so let me

35:48

find my spot here. He never surfaced.

35:50

The Africans approached the water's edge. This

35:52

is Robin still continuing to tell the

35:55

tale back in the mid 80s. They

35:57

offered pieces of flesh by throwing them

35:59

into the cloudy water. Silently, a large

36:01

hump broke the surface. Its skin was

36:03

smooth and black without any noticeable dorsal fin. The

36:05

creatures back rose out of the water until the enormity of its size could

36:07

be revealed. At the time I estimated

36:09

it to be the size of a large

36:11

couch that was in the lobby of

36:13

the missionary station where we were

36:15

currently residing. It was about seven

36:18

feet long. I saw no other

36:20

feature on the animal, neither eyes

36:22

nor mouth, just the large hump

36:24

and the splashing about of something

36:26

a few inches away from where

36:28

the meat had been thrown. After

36:31

it had finished a small

36:33

chicken the ebony mass submerged

36:35

and we did not see

36:37

it again." End quote. Judging

36:39

by the fact that the

36:41

exposed portion of the animal's

36:43

back measured approximately seven feet

36:45

long and that its head

36:47

and extremities remained beneath the

36:49

nearly opaque water it seems safe

36:51

to bet. that this thing, whatever it

36:54

may have been, was at least

36:56

10 feet in length, perhaps significantly

36:58

more. It's hard to tell. I

37:00

love that he's using the couch

37:02

as a unit of measurement. Yeah.

37:04

It's like, well that's about one

37:06

and a half missionary couches, but

37:08

I do say so. I mean,

37:10

how many cubits is a missionary

37:13

couch? We should start using our

37:15

studio couch in there that Chris

37:17

and I said on? Yeah. That's

37:19

about three and a half studio

37:21

couches. Absolutely. With its evidently

37:23

smooth skin and lack of a

37:26

dorsal fin it's not beyond the pale

37:28

This may be like the

37:30

smaller versions. It shares its

37:32

habitat with a gargantuan catfish.

37:34

I was thinking that actually

37:36

like a wells catfish. We'll

37:38

be getting into that right

37:41

now. Nice. These are not

37:43

unheard of lengths for This

37:45

breed has the Mekong giant

37:47

catfish found in Southeast Asia's

37:49

Mekong River, which I think

37:51

is like Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia,

37:53

Thailand, it goes fucking everywhere,

37:55

China, I think, too. And that's

37:57

by far the biggest. Can grow...

37:59

me. Ranks is the world's largest freshwater

38:02

fish and can grow to be over

38:04

9 feet and weigh more than 600

38:06

pounds, which is stupid. That's a big

38:08

fucking fish. The European wells catfish is

38:10

also on the docket as the largest

38:13

specimen ever caught was 9 feet 4

38:15

inches long and 330 pounds. This specimen

38:17

was reeled out of Italy's... Poe River

38:19

and this is where they were like

38:21

eating kids right didn't like a kid

38:24

or one or two get eaten by

38:26

a well's catfish I think what's it

38:28

the the Jeremy guy who did river

38:30

monsters and all these other like see

38:32

shows and he was pretty compelling I

38:34

and I used to like that original

38:37

show because basically it's like cryptid hunts

38:39

yeah totally I believe he was studying

38:41

a few cases I think maybe the

38:43

Mekong specifically but I'm not sure because

38:45

I wasn't you know encyclopedic about that

38:48

show but where you know it grabs

38:50

a kid's leg sucks him under you

38:52

know I don't know if they eat

38:54

the kid probably they I thought one

38:56

in England like actually like in the

38:59

English Channel or something actually like ate

39:01

a kid well there was also upon

39:03

somewhere in England where there was a

39:05

like monster reports and was eating fucking

39:07

like geese and swans and then they

39:09

realized it was a wells catfish catfish

39:12

eventually something that big I could totally

39:14

that it's perfect for them to eat

39:16

that which is terrifying absolutely But, I

39:18

continue, it goes without saying that neither

39:20

the poe nor the maykong nor any

39:23

other huge specimens found in the Americas

39:25

are anywhere near being swimming distance from

39:27

Daphra. A more likely contender is a

39:29

large air-breathing catfish found in the nearby

39:31

Volto river, used to be known as

39:34

the upper Volta, and you'll hear Robin

39:36

refer to it as such, known as

39:38

the voodoo. This species is the largest

39:40

freshwater fish found in southern Africa and

39:42

can grow up to 5 feet long

39:44

and weigh up to 121 pounds. In

39:47

fact, the largest of the species ever

39:49

caught was landed in Zimbabwe in 2019

39:51

and weighed a paltry, at least when

39:53

compared to others of its species, 143

39:55

pounds. There's a chance that a voodoo,

39:58

or even less explicably an invasive wells

40:00

or Mekong catfish, was either trapped or

40:02

even harder to imagine, smuggled into this

40:04

remote region of Burk Burkina Faso, and

40:06

that once it found itself ensconced in

40:09

the confines of this mini-lake and gorged

40:11

daily, it grew to heretofore unheard of

40:13

proportions, at least for Vundu. Vundu. I

40:15

don't know if I'm saying it right.

40:17

Not claiming to be anything close to

40:19

a biologist, I have no idea if

40:22

that's even biologically feasible. I know they

40:24

show like like fucking click bait pictures

40:26

of like a goldfish that becomes like

40:28

a fucking super monster if it's left

40:30

in a lake. I think most of

40:33

that shit's Photoshop. Yeah, although we do

40:35

have goldfish in our like I've seen

40:37

them that do get like bass-sized right

40:39

we were like God damn, but I

40:41

mean they're basically so if you're unrestricted

40:44

in in size and in diet then

40:46

you can I guess grow beyond the

40:48

normal proportion. I mean if this thing's

40:50

just hanging out in this you know

40:52

Olympic-sized pool watering hole and they're literally

40:54

throwing it food every fucking day this

40:57

thing is just getting fat off the

40:59

sacrifices not to mention power by the

41:01

occult Don't forget that! I mean you'd

41:03

be a damn fool. The occult catfish?

41:05

Yeah. I mean, you know. Absolutely. This

41:08

is actually living at the fuck up.

41:10

You're just like, dude, I'm just down

41:12

here and I'm just swimming in blood

41:14

and milky blood water and then just

41:16

keep throwing me a bunch of shit

41:19

to eat. This is great. Oh, well,

41:21

I mean. No, it's good lip. Now

41:23

it's small confine. Well, Olympic size pool,

41:25

well, I guess it's not. Pretty pretty

41:27

big. I mean, I mean, I mean,

41:29

I mean, I mean, I mean, I

41:32

mean, I mean, I mean, I mean,

41:34

I mean, I mean, I mean, I

41:36

mean, I mean, I mean, I mean,

41:38

I mean, I mean, I mean, I

41:40

mean, I mean, I mean, I mean,

41:43

I mean, how deep, I mean, I

41:45

mean, I mean, I mean, I mean,

41:47

I mean, how deep, how deep, I

41:49

mean, I I mean, that's what an

41:51

animal wants. This is better than being

41:54

that best pro pond we got, you

41:56

know? Oh, yeah. Come on, man. Absolutely.

41:58

That thing sucks. All right. But

42:00

even if it is the case that it

42:02

is a catfish, you know, again

42:05

in captivity, well-fed, growing beyond its

42:07

things, and there are plenty of

42:09

legends surrounding monstrous man-eating catfish

42:11

living beneath deep southern bridges,

42:14

I mean, the American South,

42:16

or the bases of dams,

42:18

some suggestively fed by wastewater

42:20

from nuclear energy plants, which

42:22

I know the wastewater isn't

42:25

radioactive itself, and I think

42:27

that's another one that Jeremy,

42:29

Jeremy... something. Wait! That's the guy

42:31

from River monsters. I think he was

42:33

looking for a giant, you know, killer catfish

42:35

that was found, you know, by scuba divers

42:38

at the base of a dam were like,

42:40

I guess, nuclear power plant. And

42:42

the thing that appealed was not

42:44

that it was radioactive. You go

42:46

into 1950s like giant monstership, but

42:48

then it was very warm. And

42:50

that's what would attract the fish. Like when

42:52

you have waste water, like the byproduct is

42:54

like the affluent water, or is this like

42:57

process water? Generally, it's treated when it goes

42:59

out, so it's like, ours is like hit

43:01

with UV plus, it's aerated, so it goes

43:03

out and it's like sterile, but it's kind

43:05

of good for the environment, so. Right. and

43:08

I mean just like the eddies the water

43:10

creates from the pipe of there's tons of

43:12

fish down there I used to go when

43:14

I first started the plan I used to

43:16

fish right out of the back right where

43:19

our our our pipe went into the

43:21

into the river yeah because there's

43:23

tons of fish right there sure

43:25

makes sense and everything and all

43:27

water bubbles and everything and I

43:29

mean you could get trout and bass

43:31

all kinds of fish out of there

43:33

I must have been I got to

43:35

go to work that fish Geez the

43:38

week. Exactly. Kind of job you think

43:40

I have? Okay. Why fishing half the

43:42

day? You son or a bitch? All

43:44

right. How dare you? So I'm going

43:46

on strike. Even considering that this description

43:49

sounds very much like a

43:51

catfish and it can get

43:53

large. Okay. A mammoth catfish is

43:56

not the only option on the

43:58

table. Maybe some thus. unknown

44:00

amphibious animal, long hidden in the

44:02

vast river networks of the region,

44:05

such as the Volta and the

44:07

Black Volta and all the various

44:09

Volta, because there's a lot of

44:11

Volta rivers around there, found itself

44:14

drawn not just to the scent

44:16

of easy prey in the fish

44:18

already encased in the pond, but

44:20

by the rich smell of blood

44:23

and oeful permeating the sharp shoreline,

44:25

sharp as in steep. Maybe this, perhaps,

44:28

excuse me, not even large. So

44:30

maybe this perhaps not even large animal

44:32

because it could could have been small

44:34

at first and then getting bigger and

44:36

bigger once it's in there. Yeah, I

44:38

mean if it's been there for that

44:40

long since the 80s eating. Right. That's

44:43

a pretty decent diet. So maybe

44:45

this creature slopped through the muddy

44:47

paths before slipping over the red-stained

44:50

ledge where it fed not only

44:52

on the fish present, but the

44:54

animal gizzards littering the water and

44:57

surrounding area. Perhaps as this anomalous

44:59

organism grew and grew, and I'm

45:01

here speculating that it's in, you

45:04

know, heretofore unknown amphibious thing. Right.

45:06

It was no longer able to crawl

45:08

out of the pond and was

45:10

forced to remain forever incarcerated within

45:12

this shale pit, content to live

45:15

out whatever days it had ahead,

45:17

gleefully munching on the sacrificed water.

45:19

It's in the prison of sharp

45:21

rocks and blood. Yeah. Damn. In

45:23

regards to the creature he'd seen

45:25

in 1986, Robin wrote, On the way

45:28

up the path to the rover, I asked

45:30

our host what exactly it was that

45:32

we had just seen lurking in

45:34

the murky water. He said he

45:36

had no idea. He had been

45:39

stationed there for almost ten years,

45:41

and he had never had the

45:43

opportunity to actually see anything more

45:45

than what we had just beheld

45:47

ourselves. It's some kind of

45:50

fish, I think. He finally gave

45:52

his opinion. I mean, can grand,

45:54

I know my knowledge. Yeah, you

45:56

know. Hey, this could be one

45:58

of them, uh, fish. and maybe

46:00

one of them. I mean,

46:02

it's in the water, it's

46:05

not a raccoon, it's a

46:07

fish. Unless that raccoon has

46:09

scuba gears, it's one of

46:11

them special racoons and scuba

46:13

gears. Recoons. Yeah, I'm talking

46:15

about me, you know what, I

46:18

figured it out, it's an underwater

46:20

Dracula. I love it.

46:22

Yeah, an underwater Dracula, there

46:25

you go. It's the best.

46:27

He's fucking terrible. Robin himself

46:30

added, if it was a fish,

46:32

I asked him how in the

46:34

world it got there. The nearest

46:36

river, the upper Volta, no longer

46:38

the name of that river, was

46:40

over 50 miles away. He gave

46:42

me an odd look that told

46:44

me it was beyond any

46:47

rational explanation. After

46:49

years of wondering if there'd been

46:51

any sort of follow-up on Pastor

46:53

Swope's run-in with this colossal critter

46:56

on a nightmarish location that I

46:58

could not help, but to imagine

47:00

as a surreal transversal of Nicholas

47:03

Rogh's austere isolated pool dabbled out

47:05

back and walkabout, and the cannibal

47:08

Sawyer clan's grizzly dining room, chock-a-block

47:10

with blood, chicken feathers, bone furniture,

47:12

and a sloppy-gripped grand grandpa trying

47:15

to reclaim his long-lost cow-lost cow

47:17

hammer-hammer skills, and Toby Hooper's seminal

47:20

Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Yes, bitch.

47:22

It's just how I see it. Yes.

47:24

Be that as it may, I was genuinely

47:26

surprised to find that, rather than

47:29

merely being a lost legend, there

47:31

was now a thriving tourist trade

47:33

for extreme adventurers wishing to witness

47:35

or participate in the mass sacrifices

47:37

made to the sacred fish of

47:40

Dapra. You can do this as

47:42

a tourist event? Oh yeah. Oh

47:44

shit. Oh shit. Okay. Dark tourism.

47:46

Yeah. in what is now referred

47:48

to as we mentioned earlier an

47:51

animist ritual. It was also intriguing

47:53

to note that in the

47:55

intervening decades, though presumably before

47:57

the cottage industry of local

47:59

hustlers built their mudbrick village

48:01

and rose up to at

48:04

least partially monetize the process

48:06

of paying a fleshy tribute

48:08

to the sub-acquotic gods, the

48:10

mastodonic creature that was once

48:13

king or queen of the

48:15

blood-saturated waterhole was no longer

48:17

being reported. Perhaps it was

48:19

long dead. Maybe it had moved on

48:22

to greener pastures or possibly the lure

48:24

of a distant mating call drew it

48:26

back out of the pool, out of

48:28

the pool, of the pool, excuse me,

48:31

I wrote this, the pool

48:33

of the perpetual feast, and

48:35

back into its traditional migratory

48:37

habits. Oh, so I left

48:39

for love. Or maybe, just

48:41

maybe, mind you, the

48:43

semi-acquotic Goliath was called back

48:45

to the stars by its

48:48

long delinquent, no-mo masters. It's

48:50

a stretch, but one can hope. Oh,

48:52

dude, he left for love or he

48:54

left for going back home to his

48:57

space lower. Yeah, cool. In his piece

48:59

for Steiger, the once young

49:01

pastor summed up his own

49:03

lingering questions regarding the many

49:05

Leviathan's Genesis writing. What was that

49:08

enormous creature in the ravines lake?

49:10

Some supernatural being that

49:12

offered fertility as a reward

49:14

for being well-fed, or an unknown

49:16

local creature that for some

49:18

reason had become trapped in

49:20

this remote location and spawned

49:22

a population that had grown

49:24

to enormous size. Did the constant

49:27

attention from the local cultists cause

49:29

them to grow to such enormous

49:31

size, or are there more sinister

49:33

forces at work deep below the

49:36

surface of the lake at Davra?

49:38

The missionaries and locals have

49:40

no idea. They just make sure that

49:43

they never go for a dip. and

49:45

the pond. The devouring deity of

49:47

Daphra, aka cannibal corpse leg,

49:50

bring the family! Bring a goat!

49:52

He'll love it! Yeah, the goat is

49:54

not going to enjoy it. The goat's

49:56

like, fuck you! Oh yeah, chickens goats

49:59

hate that. No, dude, for sure.

50:01

Yes, so I guess, um, you know,

50:03

the idea that this is a large

50:05

carnivorous fish is totally plausible, completely plausible.

50:08

I mean, there's definitely a way. And

50:11

catfish fit the fucking bill. 100%. Even

50:13

with the wild speculation, because you know,

50:15

this is the shit I love, that

50:17

it could be a crazy alien or

50:19

a cryptid that, you know, got trapped

50:22

in this place and and left. I

50:24

mean... Chances are but but it still

50:26

might be an unclassified species of catfish

50:28

could be and they can you know

50:30

crawl over certain distances of land and

50:32

the way this landscape was you know

50:35

drawn out at least has a rainy

50:37

season so there's like deep puddles and

50:39

yeah so it was kind of like

50:41

just transferring itself from pond to pond

50:43

upon until it got there now that's

50:45

a course skeptically speaking but sure I

50:47

mean catfish whatever okay you get it

50:49

but yeah The aquatic occult creature

50:52

this is living in this giant pool

50:54

of blood and muck and filth that

50:56

everyone's Sacrificing shit, too that eventually

50:58

went back to the stars I mean

51:01

people are still there doing it

51:03

today, but has anybody seen it since?

51:05

Not in a long time. Damn. See

51:07

what is this thing doing man?

51:09

It ain't it ain't coming up. It's

51:12

either Um, submerged and, and hibernating

51:14

or whatever. Oh, until the fucking. Yeah,

51:16

dude, until the call. Yeah, until

51:18

the call? The Lovecraftian call. Puma puku?

51:20

Oh, no one sees it coming.

51:22

That's what it was built as

51:25

a cage. That's why no one

51:27

can figure out what those H

51:29

blocks are for. Exactly, wait, where's

51:31

Puma, Pooku in comparison to this?

51:33

It's far away. Very far, like

51:35

continents and oceans. Yeah. Thank God

51:38

Chris isn't here. He's watching this

51:40

editing. This is being annoyed for

51:42

sure. Yeah, but no, yeah, there's

51:44

a portal. So are if this

51:46

thing is um, to Lake Titicaca.

51:49

Oh, my favorite lake is the

51:51

Titicaca. So yeah, I guess if this thing

51:53

is down there and it is some

51:55

like, okay, so you have like the

51:57

paranormal angle, which I guess would be

51:59

like. you know, given this thing all

52:01

kinds of sundry treats of animal

52:03

sacrifice for the children to live

52:06

in the men to get boners,

52:08

I guess. Well, I mean, what's

52:10

also interesting is that clearly, at

52:12

least from Swope's perspective, in 1986,

52:14

it was all about baby making.

52:16

Gotcha, so just all fertility. But

52:18

as it became like a structured,

52:20

you know, a village where you

52:22

know, you stopped by these imans

52:24

on the roadside with their fancy

52:26

embroidered... you know, cloaks and they

52:28

sell you the chicken and then

52:30

you have to go inside like the

52:32

courtyard of the Blood Village to buy

52:34

like the beer. And all this shit, by

52:36

this point, you want, you know, you

52:38

want a promotion, you know, you need

52:40

some love. I mean, it's kind of cool.

52:43

The locals took that and turned it

52:45

into like something that could work for them

52:47

as a form of a little economy.

52:49

Well, yeah, it's kind of cool. Yeah,

52:51

it's pretty good. It's no different than, you

52:53

know, you know, you know, you know,

52:55

you know, you know, exploiting Loch Ness.

52:58

Of course you should. I mean, you know,

53:00

Loveland should... I mean, if you're there for

53:02

his fertility guy, what's not saying that you

53:04

couldn't get, you know, Terry the promotion? Sure.

53:06

You know, maybe if you want Betty to

53:08

do, yeah, maybe check, yeah, maybe, swipe, is

53:10

the kid's say, swipe right on you, swipe

53:12

left, whatever way is it? Whatever that I

53:14

want to fuck is, swipe, whatever that swipe

53:16

is? Yes, absolutely. You can go there for

53:18

other things. It doesn't have to just be

53:21

fertility. This thing could probably have powers that

53:23

reach everything. How cool would it be? Lottery

53:25

tickets to it. If this became the mascot

53:27

for like, fucking boner pills. This yeah,

53:29

this is this weird fish that you

53:31

throw blood and shit at you like

53:33

damn for a dick pills I mean,

53:35

it's better than some other shit. I

53:37

mean, I guess hymns or whatever probably

53:40

do we ever know we never did

53:42

it? We never did it we never get

53:44

a sponsorship for him's we got asked

53:46

about it. Did we yeah, and I

53:48

was like I'll do the hair loss

53:51

thing, but I don't really know if

53:53

I'm gonna push boner pills because I

53:55

you know, no shame. No shame. Yeah,

53:57

no shame. Yeah, I don't know. It's

53:59

okay. But they come back, I need hair

54:01

loss, dog, my boners fine, hair loss is

54:04

something I gotta deal with. I need to,

54:06

I need to, I need to throw this

54:08

shit back. I mean, not all problems

54:10

have to be yours. I mean, sponsors

54:13

pay money, so we'll just leave at

54:15

that. I'm like, I got no problem

54:17

with a boner, but I need hair,

54:19

okay. Fair enough. You come to me

54:21

with hair restoration, you son of a

54:24

bitch. All right. All right. So yeah,

54:26

yeah, I mean. if they're there and

54:28

they're sacrificed animals to this thing and

54:30

it's it's really interesting though

54:32

that like it is such a

54:35

weird remote little tiny region and

54:37

they've just been kind of doing

54:39

it for so it makes me wonder

54:41

like if it's even still there maybe

54:43

if it's just like I think it's

54:45

long day what if this thing jetted

54:47

or jetted yeah like it's clearly

54:49

not there you know whatever you

54:51

know whatever you're saying you're right

54:53

and we don't know what this

54:56

creature is. I mean, surely, you know,

54:58

catfish is at the top of

55:00

the fucking list. But on the

55:02

other hand, unless somebody really did

55:05

smuggle in, you know, a Maykong,

55:07

you know, river catfish, that size

55:09

is not compatible with

55:11

what Voon-Doo become. Yeah. And

55:13

again, and I mean, if you're,

55:16

I mean, even if you're growing

55:18

beyond the parameters, because it's a,

55:21

you know, small space constant food.

55:23

and you know, you know, one

55:25

fat fuck of a catfish, I

55:28

mean, I still don't know if

55:30

you become like 10, 12, 13

55:32

feet long, however long it is.

55:35

Well, like an Olympic-sized pool and

55:37

they're not sure of the depth,

55:40

it's pretty big. I mean, because

55:42

it's not just like the, the

55:44

depth, when you go down, who

55:46

knows how wide that fucker gets,

55:48

you could be having a whole,

55:51

you know, much bigger thano. again

55:53

evocative swap was in describing it

55:55

the way it was right like

55:57

I say like a like a

55:59

like a in aboriginal pool that

56:01

is fucking completely like if

56:03

fucking the Texas Chainsaw Massacre

56:05

Sawyer family had a fucking

56:08

had a carte pond in the

56:10

backyard like this kind of scum

56:12

shit if they had an in-ground

56:14

pool it'd be this yeah for

56:16

sure a hundred percent and just

56:18

blood everywhere and just fetid stink

56:21

yeah and raw and everything is

56:23

just that's gonna Killing their self

56:25

so much stuff there too diseases. Yeah,

56:27

my god. Yeah, they had diseases too.

56:29

But then again, I mean, if this

56:31

is a part of their ritual, this

56:33

is just how they're living, this is

56:35

like what they're doing, I mean, you know,

56:38

it works. Well, yeah, I mean, I'm not

56:40

disparaging it. I'm just seeing it in my

56:42

head and it's, you know, you know, a

56:44

guy who loves cinema as you do too,

56:46

you can't help, but like, like, like, Want

56:48

to make a dramatic reenactment of it. Oh dude

56:50

for sure for sure I mean because you just

56:52

you'd hear the flies Oh yeah, all those things

56:55

they can do in non-smell a vision to make

56:57

you feel like you're smelling the worst thing ever.

56:59

Let the Texas Chainsaw Massacre certain scenes in seven.

57:01

Yeah, well, yeah, you're like I can smell that

57:03

you're like. Oh God. That's just awful. I think

57:06

it's kind of funny that the first missionary shows

57:08

up and he's like, oh you guys are just

57:10

over thinking this and he just jumps in his

57:12

jumps in What a jackass! No, it's very typical.

57:14

It's what happened, dude. It's like, yeah, way to

57:17

go, Randy. Good job. You have proved nothing, bro.

57:19

Except that you just got ate by this god

57:21

damn thing. You just literally proved to them that,

57:23

although for them they're probably like, wow, I mean,

57:25

he was a person and he sacrificed himself. Maybe

57:27

that gives us like, you know, 10 generations of

57:30

babies or some shit. Wow. Maybe that was why

57:32

it eventually, well, I don't know, I don't know,

57:34

they happened before, they happened before, they happened before,

57:36

they happened before, before, before, before, so long.

57:38

Well, I'd be interested to know if there

57:40

is any follow-up to that thing and I

57:43

really get a kick out of this thing

57:45

that's hanging out and people with the sacrifice

57:47

and shit too. I think it's dope. When I

57:49

like settled down to write this, I didn't

57:51

realize of, you know, the new tourist trade.

57:53

Like, I just thought that this was some shit

57:55

that happened in the 80s and that maybe

57:57

I'd find some other like interest. you

58:00

know, amateur investigator that

58:02

went and tried to see

58:04

something and found nothing. I

58:06

didn't expect to find like

58:09

this whole cottage industry

58:11

established. But you know, you know us. I

58:13

mean, what do you prefer? I love, I

58:15

love Space God. I love a

58:17

combination of a cult and extraterrestrial.

58:21

Very love crafty and very

58:23

crowlian. Yeah, oh, oh dude for sure.

58:26

Like, I mean, this is like, so. I

58:28

mean sure it's an animal and

58:30

animals get deified all the time

58:32

even if they're not actually gods.

58:34

I mean that's part but what

58:36

if it what if it is

58:39

or what if the rituals itself

58:41

endowed it with something? Like I

58:43

don't know how magic works. I

58:45

don't like you really understand like

58:48

sigil's or something, but allegedly you

58:50

can create something with intent if

58:52

you enough generations of people over

58:54

hundreds of years truly believing that

58:56

you know the future of their

58:59

families and all sorts of other

59:01

their livelihood is dependent on this

59:03

thing being appeased and you know

59:05

how your fucking chicken flips. Then

59:07

does that intention over hundreds

59:10

or decades whatever? Can that manifestly

59:12

change in some quantum way what

59:14

this thing is? I mean if you're doing

59:16

with magic, I guess anything's

59:18

possible, right? Especially since you're

59:21

just pushing intentions at this

59:23

thing. If you're literally filling

59:25

this thing up with the

59:27

sacrifice with sacrifices daily and

59:29

intentions, I mean... That seems to

59:31

me like an in any

59:34

kind of magical system. You're

59:36

just you're just you're powering

59:38

that thing Constantly so right

59:41

yeah, so I mean I

59:43

get it and I get

59:45

any skeptically minded person is

59:47

like oh you guys are full of

59:50

shit And I respect that

59:52

because you can't make a lamp

59:54

You know a god just because you

59:56

really want it to be but

59:59

can you? Oh, you're right. I totally,

1:00:01

you know what, no one ever

1:00:03

sees Shinto coming. Son of a

1:00:06

bitch, you're right. All right, well,

1:00:08

I mean, I want everybody out

1:00:10

there, homework assignment, take something in

1:00:12

your house, turn it into a god. There

1:00:14

you go. Anything could be a god.

1:00:16

As long as you think about it

1:00:19

hard enough. Ingrid Cole could be a

1:00:21

cop, you fucking can. Oh, hey, hey.

1:00:23

I enjoyed the show. Hey. I did

1:00:25

enjoy the show. I'm really not, they're

1:00:28

good people. The coffee can was cool.

1:00:30

That was crazy. The balloon part is

1:00:32

what fucking got me. I'm like, motherfucker!

1:00:35

Oh my God. That thing is such,

1:00:37

when I'm hellier, is such a fucking

1:00:39

trip. It is a fascinating show involving.

1:00:41

you know genuine people that are good

1:00:44

nice people oh dude the the new

1:00:46

quirks are awesome but great the the

1:00:48

path that they take where it goes

1:00:50

literally from like paranormal to well it

1:00:53

goes from uphology to paranormal to the

1:00:55

occult starts with like a problem they're

1:00:57

all a little goblin scenario and then

1:00:59

just straight up goes to like do

1:01:02

the synchronicity weird shit and it's like

1:01:04

you got too close and there's that

1:01:06

great author to shit that was in

1:01:09

there I keep forgetting the guys yeah

1:01:11

yeah yeah yeah I follow him on

1:01:13

Facebook, he's fascinating. He's like, he's one of

1:01:15

these, like, he's like, he's like a new age,

1:01:17

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, magician, he's

1:01:20

super cool, though, but I can't think of his

1:01:22

name. Regardless, you're a hellier, it's dope. Oh yeah,

1:01:24

no, it's definitely fun. I mean, it's a ride.

1:01:26

It's so much fun. It's so much fun. It's

1:01:28

so much fun. It's, it's so much fun. It's,

1:01:31

it's, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

1:01:33

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

1:01:35

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

1:01:37

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

1:01:40

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

1:01:42

like, like, like, like, Or it's the craziest cosmic,

1:01:44

fucking magical space fucking thing. Even being

1:01:46

a big fish that's just getting fed

1:01:48

sacrifices every day is kind of a

1:01:51

big deal. And that's still encrypted. Yeah,

1:01:53

100%. So I mean, I wouldn't say

1:01:55

worst case scenario, that's a weird way

1:01:57

of putting it. I mean, worst case. Basic.

1:02:00

Most prosaic explanation is just

1:02:02

a big fucking fish. But

1:02:04

it could still be a

1:02:06

cryptid. Could be, yeah, for

1:02:08

an unknown species. Well, well,

1:02:10

not only unknown, but things

1:02:13

that become, you know, preternaturally

1:02:15

large, still constitute cryptid. Bro, very

1:02:17

honest trench, think about it. Oh

1:02:19
