Most of us have likely been to a local fair or carnival and viewed the “freaks” and oddities on display.  Most of these are very obvious fakes, but occasionally you come across one that really makes your mind wander and thing “What if this was real?”   Today, we decided to tackle some of the most famous of the fake critters out there.  Strap in while we discuss the Fiji mermaid and Dave Coulier-erm, I meant the jackalope.  Please forgive that slip.  Seriously.  Cut. It. Out.  http://www.thewhatcasterscom/ Tee Spring: https://the-what-cast-stuff-shop.creator-spring.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheWhatCast

You guys have heard of the Abominable Snowman, right?  The legendary Yeti of the Himalaya’s.  The Bumble that bounces (Bumbles always bounce!). What if I told you that there is an underwater Abominable Snowman, but it has nothing to do with snow or they Yeti?  To be completely honest, there is absolutely nothing about this underwater cryptid that even resembles the lovable bumble.  Why was it even called an aquatic Abominable Snowman anydamnway?!  Mateo offers a possible explanation, but I don’t know if Mike is buying it.https://www.kronosrising.com/carnival-cruise-monster-super-predator/

The What Cast #462 - More Sea Monsters

As promised, we’ve returned for the 2nd episode this week!  A day or 2 after we recorded the previous episode, information started to come out regarding a declassified proposal for another Government UAP program called Kona Blue.  There was a lot of things that overlapped with our previous episode, so we decided to get right back on the What Cast horse and talk about it. So this is us discussing Kona Blue, Government projects, and veering off into other digressions. Thanks for checking us out!

The What Cast #461 - Kona Blue

Yes, after almost a century, we’ve finally returned!  Not only that, but we’re gonna put out 2 episodes this week! For the first of this 2-episode extravaganza, we begin with a nice looooooooooong detour discussing comic books.  I promise you, this is NOT a comic book episode.  We get into the weird shit, but it’s been a while.  We had to take a minute (or 86) and nerd out.  Once we get that out of our systems, Mike gets into some recent UFO sightings, a strange ocean anomaly, and the testimony from an anonymous whistleblower talking about what he learned during his time on a UFO crash retrieval team. The second part will be the second part and I’ll tell you about that when we get there.  Simmer down and enjoy the ride, we’ve got a lot to discuss!Alien Ocean Particles:https://youtu.be/VNHU-fsABJM?si=o1UVfKIypLrYwhTPMikes going on vacation:https://suno.com/song/81b35793-155a-4526-9310-9fa2e220a630

The What Cast #459 - Wolf 424 and The Umites

It’s well documented that we love wizards on this show.  We also have a great fondness for goblins.  It’s time we combine these two loves and get down to talking about the Wizard of Yester and the Goblin Hall? Was the Yester Castle the Scottish equivalent to Solomon’s Temple?  Was powerful magic used to force demonic entities to build a fortress for their master?  Is there an army of ghostly goblins that still haunt the chamber under the ruins of the old Castle?Yes.Yes. Probably.Thanks for listening! We know we are draggin ass. Lots of doc appointments. Results were worse than we thought. We will right as rain soon. Thanks for sticking with us.Blobigator:https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4ByuQbuD0t/?igsh=MXN0dWJ6N3o0NzNuOA%3D%3D
