  Coming up... Is Bigfoot the Antichrist? Bigfoot!
• 0:03
  You heard it here first! Bigfoot is the Antichrist!
• 0:06
  Is Bigfoot the Antichrist? Alright, buckle up
• 0:09
  for this one. This episode's a little different
• 0:12
  because for the first and probably only time
• 0:16
  never to be repeated ever again, we've recorded
• 0:18
  this episode all a little tipsy. We're talking
• 0:22
  about cryptids. And a whole bunch of other random
• 0:24
  stuff. Somehow we start talking about giant frogs.
• 0:28
  And end up talking about Bigfoot being the Antichrist.
• 0:31
  Stick around. This is a doozy of an episode.
• 0:34
  We're back on our serious shenanigans. Serious
• 0:39
  shenanigans. Actually more on there I think.
• 0:42
  But whatever. Back to serious topics next week.
• 0:44
  Are you ready kids? Aye aye, Captain. Hey, we
• 0:48
  started an episode out like this already. Did
• 0:51
  we? Yeah, well, it's natural, okay? We all grew
• 0:57
  up on Spongebob. Well, okay, so to make things
• 1:01
  different, last episode we started off shitposting
• 1:05
  about an article that triggered us. Maybe today
• 1:10
  we can talk about a ribbiting new article. That
• 1:15
  is exciting. And we wanted to leap on the opportunity
• 1:20
  to discuss it. I'm sorry, I'm still stuck on
• 1:26
  ribbiting article. Not to leap on. That was pretty
• 1:32
  witty too, but the ribbiting was really spot
• 1:35
  on, honestly. Ribbiting. It's probably the best
• 1:40
  pun you've ever made. What? So, the episode's
• 1:48
  done. That's it. That's it. Thanks for listening
• 1:52
  to this episode of the Paranormal Lens, where
• 1:54
  I successfully made a good pun. And I'm funny.
• 1:58
  No crickets needed. Only frogs. I didn't say
• 2:01
  you were funny. I just said that was the best
• 2:04
  pun you've ever made. What? Are you saying Ben's
• 2:06
  not no funny person? I'm joking. It's pretty
• 2:10
  funny to me. Did you hear what I said? No crickets,
• 2:16
  only frogs. We're talking about the frog man.
• 2:19
  Ribbit. Only frogs? Ribbit. Frogs. Ben, so if
• 2:24
  we ever have any cricket sounds in this episode,
• 2:27
  instead of putting the cricket sounds in, you
• 2:29
  need to put ribbit sounds in. Like what? Ribbit.
• 2:36
  Ribbit. That was an interesting frog sound. You
• 2:40
  want to do that again, Ben? No, I don't. That's
• 2:42
  not the normal frog sound. No, no, I want to
• 2:44
  hear that again. Play that on repeat. No. Does
• 2:48
  Angela want to try to one -up me? I was going
• 2:54
  to say that kind of sounds like something I would
• 2:56
  have said. She's rubbing off on me. I used to
• 3:03
  have a good frog impression. I don't think I
• 3:05
  could do it anymore if I tried. Try it. Well,
• 3:07
  what's your current one? Um, not doing it. No,
• 3:16
  this is like a podcast. Oh, really? I had no
• 3:20
  idea. What do you mean? What's a podcast? Welcome
• 3:23
  to our podcast, where we take deep dives looking
• 3:25
  at various topics through a paranormal lens.
• 3:30
  We have a bit of contemporary current events.
• 3:34
  uh current news to discuss today we wanted to
• 3:38
  talk about cryptids uh but we didn't really know
• 3:41
  what we wanted to talk about and then i saw an
• 3:43
  article literally posted today that ohio fucking
• 3:48
  ohio we're in michigan so we can talk crap about
• 3:52
  ohio everyone knows our feelings about ohio brie
• 3:55
  do you like ohio i hate ohio so much We already
• 4:01
  went over this. We did. I can count the amount
• 4:04
  of good experiences I've had in Ohio on one finger.
• 4:08
  We do think Ohio is the most cursed state, even
• 4:12
  if it's not the most haunted, though, right?
• 4:13
  You did say that last week on the record. But
• 4:17
  Ohio wants to be the first state in America to
• 4:25
  have an official, like, signed into the legislature.
• 4:30
  approved official, in all regards, official state
• 4:34
  cryptid. So, this is real. As of today, literally
• 4:40
  today we're recording this. It's going to come
• 4:42
  out in a week from now, but still. As of today,
• 4:46
  State Representative Gene Schmidt is preparing
• 4:48
  a bill that would have the Loveland Frogman listed
• 4:57
  and stated in... official government writing
• 5:00
  in a real bill the loveland frogman will be the
• 5:07
  first official state cryptid not only of ohio
• 5:11
  but of all of america california tried doing
• 5:14
  this like a year ago with bigfoot i don't think
• 5:16
  they ever succeeded in it i haven't seen an update
• 5:18
  but the california cryptid should not be bigfoot
• 5:22
  in fresno nightcrawler Save that for, like, Washington
• 5:27
  State. Washington has Bigfoot. Right? Yeah. Actually,
• 5:32
  every continent has some sort of sighting of,
• 5:34
  like, a Bigfoot creature. Yes. Except for, like,
• 5:38
  Antarctica and stuff, but... They probably do.
• 5:41
  They have Yeti. They have Yeti. No, Yeti is Himalaya.
• 5:44
  Yeah. Which is Asian. Abominable. Abominable?
• 5:49
  See, that's Northern Hemisphere. Oh. Ben's clueless.
• 5:58
  I am. Cryptids are not my jam. But I can get
• 6:03
  behind the frogman. When I hear cryptid, honestly,
• 6:08
  the first thing I think of is frogman. Because
• 6:10
  it feels like... Really? Really? Because I love
• 6:14
  those type of cryptids, where it's like, you
• 6:17
  think this is just a 12 -year -old on ChatGPT.
• 6:25
  AI generating, you know, half frog, half man,
• 6:29
  half dog, half man. Oh, can you generate an image
• 6:34
  of a dog with a human head? You know, it's like,
• 6:37
  these all sound stupid and AI generated, but
• 6:40
  I love them. I love, I can get down with those
• 6:43
  more than like a big, big foot. I don't know.
• 6:50
  I like the sound of Frogman, though, to be honest.
• 6:53
  I kind of want it to be real. Yeah, I think he's
• 6:56
  a silly, goofy guy. I don't necessarily believe
• 7:01
  that the Loveland Frogman is real, but I think
• 7:05
  he's fun. I think he's great. There's nothing
• 7:08
  wrong with the Loveland Frogman. He's just a
• 7:11
  guy. He's just a guy. No, according to this article
• 7:15
  about how the state... representative wants to
• 7:18
  make the frogman an official state cryptid which
• 7:24
  we'll unpack that later should states even have
• 7:26
  official state cryptids but he they went on to
• 7:30
  say like it sparked tourism there's two two official
• 7:34
  frogman festivals already but here's the catch
• 7:38
  they only happen on leap years why because it's
• 7:44
  a fun leap Frog leap here. Oh, I didn't make
• 7:48
  that connection. But anyways. Gosh. This is dumb.
• 7:55
  This is a dumb episode. We're just having fun.
• 8:00
  Yeah. But anyways, they interviewed a local barber
• 8:03
  in Loveland. And in his article, the article
• 8:06
  ends on this quote. The barber said the first
• 8:11
  modern sighting of a four foot frog. was in 1950.
• 8:16
  End quote. That's it? That's the whole quote?
• 8:22
  That's the whole quote. The whole article is
• 8:25
  about how they want to make the frogman. They
• 8:27
  don't even explain what the frogman is in the
• 8:30
  article. They just say they want to make the
• 8:33
  frogman an official state cryptid. Then the whole
• 8:36
  article, you're wondering, what is this thing?
• 8:39
  Why is the government proposing bills to make
• 8:42
  this thing an official state anything right then
• 8:46
  the only answer you get is a quote at the end
• 8:49
  that says the first modern sighting of a four
• 8:52
  -foot frog was in the 1950s so then you're left
• 8:57
  wondering wait there's no article is the government
• 9:02
  really focusing on a 1950s four -foot frog fuck
• 9:07
  yeah they are is to distract us from all the
• 9:10
  other terrible shit that's going on I don't mean
• 9:13
  that in, like, a good way. I don't think you
• 9:17
  could mean that in any good way, Angela. Well,
• 9:19
  okay, this is what I meant. This is what I meant.
• 9:22
  Like, people could say, oh, they're doing this
• 9:26
  to distract us from, like, all this other stuff
• 9:29
  and trying to make us feel more happy and having
• 9:31
  good news, but then it's more of, like, no, actually
• 9:34
  they're trying to just distract us from... Huh?
• 9:44
  Wow. But this isn't new. Do you want to go back?
• 9:49
  I found an article from when, you know, California
• 9:51
  tried making a Bigfoot and officials say cryptid.
• 9:54
  This is how. Yeah. When was that? This was last
• 9:57
  year. So this is like a recent ish. Same time.
• 10:00
  I'm telling you. Same time. Oh, is it? government
• 10:04
  distraction isn't is it a cryptid resurgence
• 10:09
  of of interest who knows um i mean i think it
• 10:13
  like both are reasonable like explanations because
• 10:17
  also you know cryptids and like paranormal stuff
• 10:20
  has had a resurgence in the past few years since
• 10:24
  covid i don't know if you guys saw that i know
• 10:27
  i saw it with paranormal society because i was
• 10:30
  still in school like in college at that point
• 10:33
  So with the resurgence of paranormal, it opens
• 10:35
  that other gateway into other paranormal stuff,
• 10:40
  such as cryptids. Yes. Aliens and all that jazz.
• 10:45
  That's a good question, too. I know this is a
• 10:49
  heavily debated thing. Paranormal. Some people
• 10:56
  are in the camp that paranormal... It's an umbrella
• 10:58
  term. It means ghosts. It means cryptids. It
• 11:01
  means aliens. Some people think that those are
• 11:04
  separate fields entirely and that if you hunt
• 11:07
  ghosts, why are you hunting Bigfoot? If you hunt
• 11:09
  Bigfoot, why are you hunting ghosts? You know,
• 11:12
  that kind of thing. Do you think they should
• 11:13
  be separate? Do you think paranormal means everything?
• 11:16
  This podcast, we feel the need to touch on everything,
• 11:19
  I feel like. They should not be separate. No,
• 11:22
  I don't think they should be either. Paranormal
• 11:24
  is an umbrella term. It literally means something
• 11:28
  that is abnormal. Like an unexplainable. It's
• 11:33
  paranormal. And so cryptozoology, which actually
• 11:40
  is a real term. That is a real term in science.
• 11:46
  And this is what... para means this is coming
• 11:51
  from a google search it means beside alongside
• 11:53
  beyond an abnormal that's literally what it says
• 11:57
  word to word so it it's it's a wide it's a wide
• 12:02
  term yeah so people who think it's literally
• 12:05
  just focusing on one little section area i'm
• 12:08
  sorry but you're stupid i i was gonna i was gonna
• 12:11
  say i'm sorry offended you but god i'm not sorry
• 12:16
  god damn people this might offend me actually
• 12:19
  because i i was in the camp that um paranormal
• 12:22
  should be split that um ben knock it off dude
• 12:27
  i this is me i know it's a hot take i know i
• 12:30
  know we're not even married but i'm about to
• 12:32
  divorce you over this What? A few episodes ago,
• 12:36
  we were saying we are a group that do not agree
• 12:39
  on everything. That's fair. But also at the same
• 12:43
  time, this should be one thing that we agree
• 12:44
  on. We should agree on this, Ben. Explain why,
• 12:48
  first of all. Yeah, explain why. I can't take
• 12:51
  cryptids seriously, because here's the thing.
• 12:53
  Ghosts are literally an existential question
• 12:56
  that is every person, it matters to every person,
• 13:00
  right? Ghosts, what happens next? Afterlife.
• 13:03
  There's so much to do with ghosts and the paranormal
• 13:05
  that have to do and affect your daily life, right?
• 13:09
  Your life can change in an instant if any question
• 13:12
  we are asking gets answered tomorrow, right?
• 13:16
  So on a scale of 1 to 10, how important and serious
• 13:19
  is ghost hunting? 10 out of 10. How important
• 13:23
  is discovering that there's this strange ape
• 13:28
  living in the Himalayas? I'd say one or two out
• 13:32
  of ten. One or two out of ten. It doesn't change
• 13:34
  my life at all. I think it could be very, very
• 13:35
  important. Okay, you know new animals are discovered
• 13:38
  every day. It can shift people's minds. It makes
• 13:40
  people think out of the box. New animals are
• 13:42
  discovered every day and your life doesn't change.
• 13:44
  It is not an existential conundrum to contemplate
• 13:47
  the existence of an ape. Well, maybe not for
• 13:49
  the population, but for some individual people,
• 13:52
  yes. Yeah, so pause. Pause. There are just as
• 13:56
  many people who do not care about the existence
• 13:58
  of ghosts as there are about the people who don't
• 14:02
  care about the existence of cryptids. With ghosts,
• 14:08
  yes. Discovering them, finding out if they're
• 14:11
  real, finding out what's after is interesting
• 14:14
  to a lot of people. But there are a lot of people
• 14:17
  who just don't care. You can say the same thing
• 14:20
  with cryptids. The thing with cryptids as well,
• 14:22
  like I said, they are... It is a real section
• 14:26
  of science, just like biology or zoology. It's
• 14:31
  the step before zoology. It's the study of that
• 14:33
  animal that we don't know about before we can
• 14:36
  actually put the scientific facts as to what
• 14:40
  it is to it. Take the giant squid. That used
• 14:45
  to be a cryptid. People were terrified to go
• 14:48
  in the ocean because they thought this kraken
• 14:51
  was going to come snatch them. And then, lo and
• 14:57
  behold, giant squids are a real thing, and you
• 15:01
  really don't need to be afraid of them. So that
• 15:04
  does impact people. But just as many people care
• 15:07
  about that, as, like, that discovery, as people
• 15:11
  caring about ghosts. So, like, I don't understand
• 15:15
  your argument. What I would say is, they just
• 15:19
  redid the carpets in our apartment building,
• 15:22
  and... I'll say I don't care about carpentry
• 15:26
  at all, but I can acknowledge that there's certain
• 15:29
  benefits to the people that devote their life
• 15:33
  to carpets and people care about carpets. I see
• 15:36
  Bigfoot in the same vein. I see carpets. Okay.
• 15:40
  Let me finish me. Not if I don't care about ghosts,
• 15:47
  let's just say I don't care about ghosts. I'm
• 15:49
  a human. What we're talking about with paranormal
• 15:53
  investigating and ghost hunting, I don't even
• 15:56
  believe in ghosts, me. I don't believe in intelligent
• 15:58
  hauntings. But if tomorrow we were presented
• 16:02
  with definitive proof that humans turn into ghosts
• 16:06
  and there is an afterlife, it doesn't matter
• 16:08
  if I believe or care or not. I will be a ghost.
• 16:12
  You will be a ghost. Everyone will be a ghost.
• 16:15
  I will not be a Bigfoot or ever meet a Bigfoot
• 16:17
  because Bigfoot isn't real. And I can say it
• 16:19
  all day long. I can say ghosts aren't real and
• 16:21
  I will never meet a ghost. But one day I might
• 16:23
  just be one if the answers we are seeking come
• 16:29
  to fruition. What are you going to say, Angela?
• 16:31
  Well, okay. This whole... The thing that we're
• 16:34
  talking about right now, this current topic,
• 16:36
  is that you think these separate topics should
• 16:40
  be separated from the paranormal definition.
• 16:44
  First of all, you didn't really answer that quite
• 16:46
  yet. Yeah, because I don't think ghost hunters
• 16:49
  are qualified to talk about Bigfoot, and Bigfoot
• 16:51
  investigators aren't qualified to talk about
• 16:53
  ghosts. They all work together. It's all about
• 16:55
  the unknown, things that live beside us that's
• 16:58
  abnormal, that no one knows about. But let me
• 17:01
  finish my thought. what you're saying is like
• 17:03
  cryptids isn't belonging to the paranormal field
• 17:08
  they it belongs there so if if pair if cryptids
• 17:16
  in cryptozoology do not fall under the realm
• 17:20
  of paranormal what would you put them under no
• 17:23
  no no that i guess my point isn't that they don't
• 17:26
  fall under paranormal My point, though, is that
• 17:30
  they should be separate topics. And I don't think,
• 17:32
  as ghost hunters, ghost hunters are necessarily
• 17:36
  qualified to speak on cryptozoology. Just like,
• 17:40
  if you... That changes everything then, Ben,
• 17:43
  was what you were saying. But it shouldn't be
• 17:45
  lumped together. Like, as a ghost hunter, I shouldn't
• 17:47
  be, you know, forced to be, like, all lovey -dovey
• 17:52
  with Bigfoot and... believe in Bigfoot or be
• 17:54
  as knowledgeable about Bigfoot as I am about
• 17:56
  Go. No one's saying you need to. You totally,
• 17:59
  totally derailed this conversation. Well, because
• 18:02
  I think they should be separate. They should
• 18:04
  be separate. You were saying that cryptids and
• 18:06
  paranormal should be separate. They should be.
• 18:09
  That's what you were saying. If I never talk
• 18:11
  about Bigfoot again in my life, I would be happy.
• 18:13
  I actually would be. I don't care to talk about
• 18:16
  Bigfoot. No, here's the thing, Ben. It's like
• 18:18
  a fun thing. There's different groups within
• 18:20
  the paranormal. okay there's different groups
• 18:24
  okay some people focus on one group other people
• 18:27
  focus on one group one other people focus on
• 18:29
  specific groups can they intertwine together
• 18:32
  yes well but i don't think they ever do intertwine
• 18:36
  they do they definitely do they definitely do
• 18:39
  like even always not always and there are people
• 18:43
  who are in specific group i can give you day
• 18:47
  in the group i can give you one example of how
• 18:51
  three different categories of paranormal can
• 18:55
  intertwine we're going to talk about bigfoot
• 18:59
  bigfoot the cryptid has the potential and has
• 19:04
  the theories of being one a hide behind or a
• 19:09
  shadow spirit ghost hunting or two potentially
• 19:15
  a ufo so that's a third topic so he could be
• 19:20
  One of these three things. So these topics do
• 19:23
  intertwine. Do we talk about all of those things?
• 19:26
  No. We have never talked about UFOs. We don't
• 19:29
  know anything about UFOs or really care about
• 19:32
  UFOs. You did the trespass exercise in that mirror
• 19:36
  at that one park when the tornadoes were happening.
• 19:39
  That was a specific paranormal thing that we
• 19:42
  were doing, but you saw aliens. That goes into
• 19:44
  the alien. concept and group yes yes my does
• 19:50
  intertwine my question to i want to respond to
• 19:53
  brie so brie you bring a good point let's say
• 19:56
  someone comes up to you in an event and they
• 19:59
  say oh you're a paranormal investigator say yes
• 20:01
  and they say okay so Have you ever seen a UFO?
• 20:05
  Have you ever gone UFO hunting? What would your
• 20:07
  answer be? And how do you acknowledge someone
• 20:09
  that their first thought when they hear paranormal
• 20:11
  investigator is UFOs and aliens? I see. Hey,
• 20:16
  that's a great question. Unfortunately, that's
• 20:17
  not my realm of expertise, which we're not really
• 20:24
  an expert in anything. We can't say we're expertises
• 20:27
  in ghost hunting, but. Okay, so if we're in the
• 20:32
  camp, I guess we can agree that these are camps
• 20:34
  of study. Because we don't call ourselves paranormal,
• 20:36
  like, we can call ourselves paranormal investigators,
• 20:40
  but typically we say we're ghost hunters. Yeah,
• 20:44
  so like in science, there's chemistry and physics.
• 20:48
  It's kind of like the same thing, kind of, right?
• 20:50
  If like there's a chemist over here and a physicist
• 20:53
  over there. It's like thinking of it this way.
• 20:56
  I have a degree, a bachelor's in science. I studied
• 21:01
  animal science. So someone could ask me a question
• 21:04
  about biology, chemistry, biochem, physics, which
• 21:11
  I took all of those classes and be like, hey,
• 21:14
  tell me about them. And I'm like, I can't. I
• 21:19
  know things about animals. Yeah, that makes sense.
• 21:23
  I just, I don't think. Do you think there's a
• 21:26
  pressure to know in the paranormal just because
• 21:28
  there's three distinct camps? Absolutely not.
• 21:34
  Do you think it's fair to the - There could be
• 21:35
  something more than just three groups. Oh yeah,
• 21:38
  there's definitely more than just three groups.
• 21:40
  Do you think it's fair to the alien and UFO people
• 21:44
  that we haven't tapped into that? We've done
• 21:48
  one Bigfoot hunt, but we haven't done anything
• 21:50
  UFO -specific. I feel at this point that since
• 21:53
  we haven't, are they're not necessarily our target
• 21:57
  audience and since they're not our target audience
• 22:00
  i don't think they're going to be disappointed
• 22:01
  because they don't they've already scrolled past
• 22:06
  us they don't really care that's fair we are
• 22:09
  going to be doing a um dog man investigation
• 22:14
  search yes i do want to go frogman i am excited
• 22:18
  for that i Can take you frog hunting. I've been
• 22:23
  a frog. I want frog man, like a four foot. So
• 22:26
  do you have like a four foot tall, like little,
• 22:28
  like a net that you, you, how would you approach
• 22:32
  a frog man? Like what would be your, um, you
• 22:35
  know what? That's a good question. Cause well,
• 22:39
  one does, is he, is he an actual frog or does
• 22:44
  he have some sort of human intelligence? And
• 22:49
  also too, Frogman is supposedly like a magical
• 22:53
  being and can shoot fireballs. So how would we
• 22:58
  deal with that? Like Roman candle fireballs or
• 23:05
  like actual fireballs? So you play D &D, right?
• 23:10
  This seems like something veering into that territory.
• 23:14
  Yeah. Roll for initiative. Let me go back to
• 23:20
  this article, because I pulled up this article
• 23:21
  by the debrief .org about when in February, oh,
• 23:26
  actually on Valentine's Day of 2025, the California
• 23:31
  state representatives were trying to pass a bill
• 23:33
  to make Bigfoot their official state cryptid
• 23:37
  in California. And, quote, According to a draft
• 23:42
  version of the bill introduced on February 14th,
• 23:45
  2025, Assembly Bill 666 would designate Bigfoot
• 23:49
  as the Golden State's official state cryptid.
• 23:54
  uh introduced by california assembly member chris
• 23:57
  rogers coinciding with the valentine's day holiday
• 24:00
  the bill's number 666 is appropriate given that
• 24:03
  this sequence of numbers is famously known as
• 24:06
  the number of the beast in christianity due to
• 24:08
  its appearance in uh many versions of chapter
• 24:11
  13 within the book of revelation in the new testament
• 24:13
  so i don't understand what that has to do with
• 24:17
  bigfoot well because on valentine's day last
• 24:21
  year There was a bill in California, Bill 666,
• 24:26
  the number of the beast, to make a cryptid an
• 24:31
  official state monster. Honestly, though, imagine
• 24:38
  the people freaking out about that. Like, I just,
• 24:44
  I can just imagine, like, very religious people
• 24:47
  just going absolutely crazy. Yeah, that's probably
• 24:50
  one reason it was turned down, too. Like, that
• 24:53
  was not good for the population of America. Is
• 24:57
  Ohio more likely to get this pass than California?
• 24:59
  Well, no, no. Just the fact that the bill number
• 25:02
  was 666 already decreases its chances in being
• 25:05
  passed. Good point. Make it 333. Yeah, the angel
• 25:13
  numbers. Bigfoot is an angel. Someone probably
• 25:19
  thinks that. Let me look that up. I'm just saying,
• 25:24
  okay, what happened if Bigfoot was a fallen angel?
• 25:31
  Never know, never know. We don't know what he
• 25:33
  is. We never know. There's a Reddit thread, the
• 25:37
  first thing that comes up, on r slash askachristian.
• 25:43
  Are Bigfoot Nepulim? Nephilim. Nephilim? I've
• 25:48
  never heard of that. I'm not a Christian. I've
• 25:50
  never heard of this term. I don't even know what
• 25:53
  that term is. It's an angel. Okay. Or it's a
• 25:58
  term for an angel. Yeah, so this person's father
• 26:03
  got really into Bigfoot conspiracies, and apparently
• 26:06
  it's a known thing that... Bigfoot are these
• 26:10
  Nephilim. They survived the flood. Oh, this person
• 26:14
  says... Oh, so they're saying they're giants.
• 26:17
  Yes. But also this person says the Nephilim in
• 26:21
  ancient Hebrew writings act like bosses. They
• 26:24
  are kings and generals. They don't hide in forests.
• 26:26
  They take over society. And another person says,
• 26:29
  so like Trump? Huh? Another person says, my new
• 26:34
  favorite question posted here. And then someone
• 26:38
  replied to that saying, some people actually
• 26:40
  believe it, though. I'm generally so confused
• 26:43
  now. I understood the thing about them surviving
• 26:47
  the flood, but everything after that did not
• 26:49
  make any sense. It derails. It really derails.
• 26:53
  Welcome to Reddit. Yeah, the Nephilim were giants,
• 26:59
  larger than normal humans, having six fingers
• 27:02
  on each hand and six toes on each foot, otherwise
• 27:04
  appearing as human except for their giant stature.
• 27:07
  So this person says, oh, this person goes on
• 27:12
  to say Trump is not a Nephilim. You'll know one
• 27:15
  if you see one. I mean, well, here's the thing.
• 27:18
  There's a big theory that Trump's the Antichrist,
• 27:21
  and I find that really entertaining. Oh, boy.
• 27:26
  If we're going down the biblical route, I'm just
• 27:28
  saying. Is he a Bigfoot? I don't know. Sorry,
• 27:33
  I just made that connection. I'm sorry. Is Bigfoot
• 27:37
  the Antichrist or is Trump the Antichrist? That's
• 27:47
  my new favorite theory. Bigfoot is the Antichrist.
• 27:51
  Bigfoot. You heard it here first. Bigfoot is
• 27:53
  the Antichrist. That's not what I meant. I don't
• 27:58
  think we can make any more poignant statements
• 28:03
  than that. So thanks for listening to this episode
• 28:05
  of Paranormal Lens. So any final thoughts on
• 28:08
  the legislature in Ohio to make Frogman an official
• 28:12
  state cryptid? I think it would be fun. Should
• 28:15
  there be state cryptids? Ohio should be the first
• 28:18
  one. I think it would be a great trend. Is it
• 28:24
  necessary? No. But also, is having a state animal,
• 28:29
  state tree, state flower, are those necessary?
• 28:34
  No. They're just fun. So to have a state cryptid,
• 28:39
  I think that's great. If there's definitely going
• 28:43
  to be repeat cryptids, just like there's repeat
• 28:46
  state animals. Like each state doesn't, not all
• 28:50
  of them have a unique state animal. So not all
• 28:54
  of them are going to have unique state cryptid.
• 28:57
  There's probably going to be a lot of them that
• 28:59
  have Bigfoot as their state animal or cryptid.
• 29:04
  But California should not be one of those. They
• 29:08
  have the Fresno Nightcrawlers. Southern states?
• 29:12
  Like Florida and Texas and, you know, the other
• 29:17
  ones, they have their own special kind of Bigfoot,
• 29:21
  which is the skunk ape. Oh, I forgot about that.
• 29:25
  But you can smell that one from even up here
• 29:28
  in Michigan. Most likely. Huh. Okay, so we all
• 29:34
  agree it's a fun idea. Fun idea. Yes. Make these...
• 29:41
  official state cryptids. It's all fun and games.
• 29:45
  It's shenanigans. Yeah. Okay. I think it sounds
• 29:51
  great. Cool. Any final thoughts on, like, did
• 29:56
  you expect Ohio to be potentially the first one?
• 29:58
  No, I'm not surprised. Honestly, yeah, I'm not
• 30:02
  surprised either. Oh, okay. Like... Ohio people
• 30:07
  are a different breed, okay? Mm. tipsy thanks
