The Bizarre Tale of Jake the Alligator Man

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,680
In 1978, Wellington Marsh senior passed away, but his museum is still in the family.

2
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:14,000
And Wellington must have had a soft spot for Jake too, because his likeness is carved

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,000
on his headstone.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,600
Oh my god!

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:22,440
To which his granddaughter says, "Well, 100 years from now, you'll be like, 'What the hell

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,320
is that?'" and quote.

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:31,320
I don't think I need to wait 100 years. I feel as though my default reaction is, 'What

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,320
the hell is that?'

9
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:39,320
Hi, Caitlyn.

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,320
[BEEP]

11
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,320
[LAUGHTER]

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,320
I was like, "That would be ready to start."

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:52,320
I know, and I was like, "I thought I was," and then that just snuck out of there.

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,320
Hi, Cassie.

15
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,320
Was it from the Cortado?

16
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,320
Probably.

17
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,320
Coffee makes me really burpy.

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:00,320
Cortado cult.

19
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,320
Can we please do like a bleep button on the burp?

20
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:07,320
I love you so funny.

21
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:13,320
Well, this is PNW, Hanson Homicides, where we chat about true crime, the paranormal, and

22
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:17,120
all things spooky in the Pacific Northwest.

23
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,120
Or the PNW.

24
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,920
If you're in a nasty.

25
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,040
And hi, creepy people. We know you're nasty. I think we forgot to say hi to you after we

26
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,040
said hi to each other.

27
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,040
And there's a burp situation.

28
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,040
Uh-oh.

29
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,040
Yeah.

30
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:36,160
But we hope you stick around for the end because we're going to do a little tarot for a little

31
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,880
deeper insight into our topic, which we do in every episode.

32
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:40,880
Yeah.

33
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,400
Well, before we start today, I did want to mention something.

34
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,600
I think we kind of chatted about it last night.

35
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,920
But Morbid, covered crater lake.

36
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:50,920
Oh, yes, yes.

37
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:51,920
Okay.

38
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:52,920
I remember this.

39
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:53,920
Yeah.

40
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,320
And I just, I thought it was interesting to bring up because I, I almost like didn't listen

41
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,560
to it because I was like, oh, you know, obviously I've researched like the shit out of it.

42
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,440
I know every detail of the story.

43
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,760
Like, I've heard it a million times, you know.

44
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:06,760
Yeah.

45
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:07,760
So it's like, oh, me.

46
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,760
I'll just skip that one.

47
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,560
But I was like, no, I'm going to listen to it because like, I love the spooky episodes.

48
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:12,560
Obviously.

49
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:13,560
Yeah.

50
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,160
And it's just, it's so different.

51
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:20,280
And like, everyone has their own like different take on things and different commentary.

52
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:26,040
And so I just thought it was interesting to bring up like even if you heard a topic a million

53
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,680
times, like everyone does it completely differently.

54
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:30,680
I agree.

55
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,040
I mean, I think people just have their own personalities.

56
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,040
Yeah.

57
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,040
Their own takes.

58
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,040
They do?

59
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,240
So, I mean, some people like, we're not all those copies of each other.

60
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,240
Carbon copies.

61
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,360
But yeah, it was really funny, really entertaining for me still.

62
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,360
And yeah, so I thought I'd bring it up.

63
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,360
Excellent.

64
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:53,000
And I, oh, the other reason is that's kind of like why we, one of the reasons we started

65
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,320
a PNW podcast because I would always get excited when other pods would talk about our,

66
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,800
our, our, our neck of the woods, you know.

67
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,280
So it's still exciting when they do.

68
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,280
Yeah.

69
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,280
Yeah.

70
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,560
They know about us.

71
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,680
Well, today we are going to be talking about a topic from the PNW.

72
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,800
That we're old.

73
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,800
We're going to Long Beach, Washington.

74
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:18,800
Oh.

75
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,040
That's a long beach.

76
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,640
Is about three hours southwest of Seattle on the Washington coast.

77
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:29,000
Population, 1756 as of 2023.

78
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Really?

79
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000
That's it.

80
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Yeah.

81
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,000
I mean, like a small, you know, beach town.

82
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Yeah.

83
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,880
I've been there that just seems really small.

84
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:37,880
Yeah.

85
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:38,880
It's pretty small.

86
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,880
I'm sure it's like full of tourists though, you know.

87
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:41,880
That, yeah, that's it.

88
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,880
It's like, seem bigger.

89
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,880
Popular for its boardwalk, drive on beach and the Washington State International Kite

90
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:49,880
Festival.

91
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:50,880
Through.

92
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,600
And the archway declaring the world's longest beach.

93
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:55,600
Hmm.

94
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,080
Which is actually true.

95
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,560
I was going to ask.

96
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,080
Although it's technically the world's longest beach on a peninsula.

97
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,080
Oh.

98
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,840
It's at, it's 28 miles long.

99
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:11,760
And if you're wondering like me, what the longest beach of the world is, it is.

100
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,160
And I can't roll my R, so I apologize.

101
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,160
Praya Do Cassino and Brazil.

102
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,160
Brazil.

103
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,160
Praya.

104
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,160
150 miles long.

105
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,160
Oh, wow.

106
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,160
Okay.

107
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,160
It's so much longer.

108
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,160
Yeah.

109
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,960
I just rolled my R's pretty good.

110
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:27,960
I don't know.

111
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:28,960
That sounds fun.

112
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:29,960
I want to go to there.

113
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:30,960
Can we go?

114
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:31,960
Can we go to Brazil?

115
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:32,960
The quad trip.

116
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:33,960
Yeah.

117
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:34,960
Why not?

118
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,480
The subject of our topic today has been dubbed the Crowned Jewel.

119
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,080
Another crowned jewel is something.

120
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,080
All right.

121
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,080
Of a place called Marsh's Free Museum.

122
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,080
Hmm.

123
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,280
Where, quote, lies a collection as a wonderous as it is bizarre.

124
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:53,280
Okay.

125
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:54,280
And quote.

126
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:57,280
Sounds about right for you.

127
00:04:57,280 --> 00:04:58,280
Probably.

128
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:02,520
It really actually reminds me of the museum of the weird that we went to in Austin.

129
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,520
Oh, really?

130
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:04,520
Yeah.

131
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:05,520
It's, that was cool.

132
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,120
Pretty similar to that.

133
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,120
Okay.

134
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:16,680
Full of oddities and taxidermy and like the two headed calf, a one-eyed lamb, an eight-legged

135
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,920
lamb or spider lamb.

136
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:19,920
If you're nasty.

137
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:20,920
Wow.

138
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:21,920
That is nasty.

139
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,920
I don't know.

140
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,520
I just called it spider lamb because like eight legs.

141
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:27,520
Well, yeah.

142
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:28,520
I mean, that makes sense.

143
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,040
I don't know if anyone else calls it that.

144
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,040
They should.

145
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,040
They should.

146
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,040
I made up a new thing.

147
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:42,040
They have things like shrunken heads, human skeletons and antiques, like a roulette wheel from

148
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,040
the Alaskan Gold Rush.

149
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,440
Oh.

150
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,560
And I am like, I don't know what's wrong with my brain.

151
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,240
I kept reading it as Russian roulette wheel.

152
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:52,240
Oh.

153
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,240
And I was like, they had just like a wheel of guns.

154
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:56,240
Like, what?

155
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:03,840
Like the gold rush was like, what does a Russian roulette wheel?

156
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:04,840
The gold rush.

157
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:05,840
Right.

158
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:06,840
It's a gold rush.

159
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:08,440
Like that's just brutal.

160
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:09,440
I'll tell you.

161
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,440
So I read it like 10 times and I was like, oh my god, it literally just says roulette wheel.

162
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,280
Like, I'm so dumb.

163
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:21,080
Your brain really wanted to take that to the next level.

164
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,680
They were just gambling.

165
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:23,680
They weren't shooting.

166
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,680
Well, they might have been shooting.

167
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,000
I mean, there was probably some of that too.

168
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,200
There could have been wheel of guns.

169
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,200
Who knows?

170
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,720
Who knows what was going on in that gold rush?

171
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,440
I mean, the Wild West.

172
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,240
Am I right?

173
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:42,640
There's antique arcade games where you can get a fortune or measure the intensity of your

174
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,480
romantic passions.

175
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,480
Ooh.

176
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,960
And I do have a photo.

177
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,360
Test your passion.

178
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,360
Passion.

179
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,200
Test your passion, factor, chair.

180
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,560
Oh, okay, say that.

181
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,560
Literally ever again.

182
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:56,560
Test your passion, factor, chair.

183
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:57,560
I have a chair.

184
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,560
I have a chair.

185
00:06:58,560 --> 00:06:59,560
Oh.

186
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,080
Do you notice anything weird about this, chair?

187
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,840
The slit right there in the middle of the seat.

188
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:05,840
Why is there a hole in the seat?

189
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:06,840
Y'all.

190
00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:11,520
I don't know how I feel about that, but I don't think it's positive.

191
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:12,520
Isn't that weird?

192
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:18,080
I assume it's just from people sitting on it through time, but it seems kind of weird that

193
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,840
it's like a test your passion, chair, and there's a fucking hole in it.

194
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,520
You know what that reminds me of?

195
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,520
The glory hole?

196
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:25,520
It's always sunny.

197
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:26,520
Oh.

198
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,000
The exercise bike that Mack makes.

199
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,280
Oh, my God.

200
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,280
We need you to describe it to us.

201
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:41,400
No, I'm going to need someone to get a YouTube clip of, oh, yeah, I need YouTube clip.

202
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,600
There are no words.

203
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,280
You just have to have visual already.

204
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,600
Moving on from the glory hole chair.

205
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:59,520
On November 9, 1993, the headline on the front page of the weekly world news was, quote,

206
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,840
half human, half alligator discovered in Florida swamp.

207
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:04,840
Okay.

208
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,160
Exclamation point.

209
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,240
I mean, the location at least makes sense.

210
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,240
Right.

211
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,240
That's all I got.

212
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,600
I'll show you the photo.

213
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,240
That looks totally real.

214
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,840
Yeah, it's interesting, right?

215
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:19,840
Uh-huh.

216
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:26,200
So the article claims this is, quote, "man's missing link, a grotesque hissing creature

217
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:33,320
with the head and upper body of a human and the dragon-like lower body of an alligator."

218
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,320
That's good.

219
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:41,440
Has been captured alive just miles from here in the big cypress swamp end quote.

220
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:42,440
Okay.

221
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:48,760
So I thought it was funny that they like said, dragon-like lower body of an alligator.

222
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:49,760
Yeah.

223
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:50,760
Just say alligator.

224
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,440
Just say alligator because dragons aren't real.

225
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,120
Yeah, I agree that that also struck me as odd.

226
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,560
I'm like, you could have just said alligator.

227
00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:01,160
Just leave it at alligator.

228
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,520
If the word you're looking for is alligator, well, there it is.

229
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:05,520
There it is.

230
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,240
Just use that one.

231
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:12,480
The article goes on to say, quote, "Of course, an intense search is underway to locate

232
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,800
any other gator man creatures."

233
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:15,800
End quote.

234
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:16,800
Of course.

235
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,640
Or a hunt them down.

236
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:26,840
For the years, there was several other articles on this same gator man from the Florida swamp.

237
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,640
I'm going to read you some of them.

238
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:29,640
Oh boy.

239
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:35,080
Half alligator, half human kills Miami man and escapes from laboratory.

240
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,080
Laboratory.

241
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,080
It's alive.

242
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,080
Yeah.

243
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,080
That's exactly what I was thinking.

244
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:46,080
Well, that's one of the, that's one of the, oh, okay.

245
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,080
It's alive.

246
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,080
Yeah.

247
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,080
It's alive.

248
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,720
Half human, half alligator captured in Florida everglades.

249
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:59,680
And then, last but not least, half alligator, half human gives birth.

250
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:00,680
Oh, okay.

251
00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:04,880
They claim he had a little baby alligator man.

252
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:05,880
Okay.

253
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,880
Okay.

254
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,480
The bottom half is alligator.

255
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:17,240
So to me, you don't, they don't, they don't give birth.

256
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,880
They lay eggs.

257
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:27,960
You know, so I am not going to try to analyze the mysteries of nature here.

258
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:28,960
Okay.

259
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,960
I was going to say maybe that's the wrong thread to pull that.

260
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:31,960
I don't know.

261
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:32,960
I don't know.

262
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:33,960
Nature is miraculous.

263
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:34,960
All right.

264
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:40,960
Out there just wild and, but this is not just any old half human, half alligator.

265
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:47,680
No, this is none other than Jake, the alligator man.

266
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:48,680
Okay.

267
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:51,960
The crowned jewel of Marsh's free museum.

268
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:52,960
Okay.

269
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:53,960
Okay.

270
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,240
All right.

271
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:02,920
The picture used for these stories was actually stolen from a souvenir postcard sold

272
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:03,920
at the museum.

273
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:04,920
Oh.

274
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:05,920
Okay.

275
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,760
Which they've now sold over 30,000 by the way.

276
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,000
Oh, yeah, I bet.

277
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:16,160
But it did put Jake on the map as one of the founding fathers of Freaks right up there

278
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,960
with the Fiji mermaid.

279
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:18,960
Great.

280
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:19,960
Love that.

281
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:20,960
Yeah.

282
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,640
Have you seen the Fiji mermaid?

283
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,120
I think so.

284
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,120
I've heard of it.

285
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,080
I don't know if I've actually ever seen the original.

286
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,080
Oh.

287
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,600
Alrighty.

288
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,040
It's very convincing.

289
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:41,200
I'm just going to play with these wires to comfort myself because I forgot my rock.

290
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:46,400
So this is Jake, the alligator man at Marcia's free museum in his enclosure.

291
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,800
And I'll show you more pictures later.

292
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,640
I can't wait.

293
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,120
There's so many pictures.

294
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,120
Hopefully.

295
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:59,800
Besides the kind of obvious fact that he is a mummified, a seemingly mummified, half-man,

296
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:05,720
half-alligator, not much is known about how Jake came to be in this state.

297
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,240
You don't say.

298
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,240
Yeah.

299
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:13,680
Not like the state of Washington, but just like his state of being, you know, existence.

300
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:14,680
Yeah.

301
00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:16,040
How did Jake come into this world?

302
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,480
No one really knows.

303
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:26,200
His life prior to being purchased in 1962 to be a feature of the Marsh's unique collection

304
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,280
remains a mystery, which seems to be part of Jake's allure.

305
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:31,280
Sure.

306
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:32,720
It's very mysterious man.

307
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,200
We all like a mysterious man, right?

308
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,520
A man of mystery.

309
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,240
But naturally, people have their theories and stories.

310
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,200
Sort of a chicken or the alligator, chicken or the egg.

311
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,200
The dinosaur, the dragon?

312
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,200
Yeah.

313
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,200
Yeah.

314
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,640
Go with that.

315
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:55,920
Some of the activities people claim that Jake was up to when he was alive, it's alive!

316
00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:03,480
Are things like hanging out in New Orleans brothels, smoking cigars, drinking whiskey, performing

317
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:09,920
in carnivals, terrifying anyone who came across him in the sand dunes of Pakistan or casually

318
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,920
just being a serial cannibal?

319
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,440
Oh.

320
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,880
Some of those make me real uncomfortable.

321
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,320
The sand dunes in Pakistan was very specific.

322
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:20,320
Yeah.

323
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,760
I mean, how's he getting to Pakistan, by the way?

324
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,000
They think that's where he came from.

325
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,400
I really don't know.

326
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:29,400
Okay.

327
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:30,400
Nobody knows.

328
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:31,400
It's a mystery.

329
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:32,400
Sure is.

330
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:33,400
Sure is.

331
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:38,920
But the people of Long Beach embrace their weird little unofficial mascot.

332
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:39,920
Okay.

333
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,640
Hopefully by now everyone knows one like we say weird, it's totally a compliment.

334
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:45,640
Oh, absolutely.

335
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,160
I think Jake is the coolest.

336
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,440
This is a pretty high weirdness factor.

337
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:52,440
Oh yeah.

338
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:53,680
High weirdness.

339
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:58,720
They really love him in this town and you'll see I break for Jake bumper stickers.

340
00:13:58,720 --> 00:13:59,960
Oh, that's cute.

341
00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:01,840
I did have pictures.

342
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:06,680
I don't see an I break for Jake bumper sticker, but I see like this is one of their stickers

343
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:08,600
that they sell at the museum.

344
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:09,600
Oh my.

345
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:16,240
It's my friend Jake and it has a you know, cartoon of him Long Beach, Washington.

346
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,840
And then there's also like a shirt with his silhouette on it.

347
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,400
March is free museum.

348
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,840
It says establish in 1921.

349
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,880
I think we'll get there.

350
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,880
Honestly, I think the silhouette is more horrifying.

351
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:30,880
I think so too.

352
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:31,880
Yeah.

353
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:32,880
Yeah.

354
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:33,880
Cause it's like what the fuck is this?

355
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:34,880
Yeah.

356
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,720
I think silhouettes are often more horrifying.

357
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:43,080
Like that's like shadow people are scary because like you can't see their features, you know?

358
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,080
That's true.

359
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,600
He's also been given a key to the city.

360
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,800
Where does he keep his key for the city?

361
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,440
In his alligator butt.

362
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,440
Around his neck.

363
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:53,440
I don't know.

364
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,280
In his little enclosure, maybe a buried in the sand.

365
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,720
We don't know what he Jake's up to.

366
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,920
They've even celebrated his birthday since 2007.

367
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:01,920
Oh.

368
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,680
Now with a weekend festival.

369
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:09,120
It used to be like just kind of like a small birthday party, but it evolved into a weekend

370
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,120
long festival.

371
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,880
It's become a whole big Shindig.

372
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,400
At this festival, there is live music, a vintage car show.

373
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:18,400
Okay.

374
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:23,080
And the Burlesque Bachelor party.

375
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,160
What is that exactly?

376
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,160
Well, yeah.

377
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,440
Like why does Jake need a bachelor party, you ask?

378
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,640
Well because after that is the bride of Jake Beauty Pageant.

379
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:36,640
Okay.

380
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,240
Where women compete to be Jake's bride.

381
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:41,240
Excellent.

382
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:48,440
They do say it's more of like a funny lighthearted talent show than like a beauty pageant.

383
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,640
But I do have pictures.

384
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,760
Oh, oh boy.

385
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,960
So here is Jake at one of his birthday parties.

386
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,560
It's called little hat on.

387
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,000
They take him out.

388
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:07,040
Okay, that person who is also in the shot their face is almost more horrifying than oh,

389
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,880
Jake with his girls.

390
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:09,880
No.

391
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,080
Jake party and drinkin.

392
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,080
Okay.

393
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,640
There's a very sexy photo of Jake and a woman on a picnic blanket.

394
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:18,640
Okay.

395
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:24,080
I was going to say this is very like weekend at Bernies, but that is just too weird.

396
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,480
Isn't it amazing?

397
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,720
And here's Jake with this key to the city around his neck.

398
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,720
Oh.

399
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:30,720
That's where you keep your key to the city.

400
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:31,720
That's right.

401
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:32,720
You don't have one.

402
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:33,720
You know what?

403
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:34,720
That's true.

404
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:35,720
That's true.

405
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:36,720
That's true.

406
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:37,720
Valid criticism.

407
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:47,720
Maybe we'll have to see if we can find an alligator or something.

408
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:48,720
Well, it's funny.

409
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:49,720
You say that.

410
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,920
It's because now that I have given away what's it?

411
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:55,920
I have.

412
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:56,920
Okay.

413
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:57,920
All right.

414
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:58,920
Alligator feeds.

415
00:16:58,920 --> 00:16:59,920
From New Orleans.

416
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:00,920
How cute.

417
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:07,400
And you know, that's where Jake liked to hang out supposedly in New Orleans brothels.

418
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,120
So which is I have a lot of concerns.

419
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:12,120
Yeah.

420
00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:14,800
Follow up questions potentially about.

421
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,080
I will save those for later.

422
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:22,360
So since no one really knows how old Jake is since they don't know when he was born, where

423
00:17:22,360 --> 00:17:28,120
he came from, how long he's been around, they celebrate his 75th every year.

424
00:17:28,120 --> 00:17:35,120
On or around August 1st.

425
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:42,120
So he's only oh also that's another significant date in your life.

426
00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:43,120
Yeah.

427
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:44,120
Ruh.

428
00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:45,120
I don't know.

429
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:47,120
Do people know that you're wedding date?

430
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:48,120
I think so.

431
00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:49,120
I think so too.

432
00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:50,120
I think we talked about it.

433
00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:51,120
I think anybody cares.

434
00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:52,120
Yeah.

435
00:17:52,120 --> 00:17:54,120
I just don't want like out your wedding data.

436
00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:55,120
Yeah.

437
00:17:55,120 --> 00:17:59,840
And by the way, this was top secret before now, but I take it very don't I guess first.

438
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,520
So this year we can't celebrate your anniversary.

439
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,720
We will have to celebrate Jake's birthday party.

440
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:04,720
75.

441
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,720
I can't celebrate my first wedding anniversary.

442
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,320
I have to celebrate Jake.

443
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,320
He's turning 75 all again.

444
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,120
I'm sure my husband will be fine with that.

445
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:16,120
Let's go.

446
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:17,840
That would be fun.

447
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,040
I feel like that makes sense too.

448
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,920
Like with all of the attention he gets that he is a Leo.

449
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:24,920
Oh.

450
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:30,920
But yeah, that branding is it's it's it's on point.

451
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,600
Jake used to attend his birthday parties, which you saw on the photos.

452
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:40,800
But now he's actually well, some of the photos you may have seen the real Jake now he's too fragile

453
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,160
to attend his parties.

454
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,920
Yes, I see in the glass case.

455
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:50,440
Especially since the last party he did make an appearance at.

456
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:54,480
He ended up on the missing mangator list.

457
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,720
Okay, so I would assume that's a short list.

458
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,720
Yeah, there was it was probably one just him.

459
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:06,680
Yeah, you did get him back thankfully, but the police were involved.

460
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:11,680
But don't worry, there is a stunt Jake.

461
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,480
They call the party or excellent.

462
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,280
So most of those pictures I showed you was like the party or Jake.

463
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,960
Okay, well, that's fitting.

464
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,960
We're doing stuff.

465
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:28,680
Now, I know all the stories about Jake's life sounds kind of out there.

466
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:36,280
Obviously, it's all allegedly Jake's early life, you know, the New Orleans stuff, the brothels,

467
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,960
the sand dunes, Pakistan.

468
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:43,160
Yeah, I mean, it could be a little bit of a stretch, but you know what ifs.

469
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,040
Sorry, if you heard dog barking in the background once in a while, we'll try to get her to shut

470
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,040
up.

471
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,440
Yeah, we make no promises.

472
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,440
Could you come up here and lay down quietly?

473
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:54,440
Come on, baby.

474
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,440
That's what oh, she's barking at the little deer.

475
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,280
Oh, there's like four of them down there.

476
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,680
Look at their little butts.

477
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,680
Look at them.

478
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:05,680
There's the kids.

479
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,720
Oh, yeah, one just pulled.

480
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,920
Oh, such a magical place.

481
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:17,960
Okay, and I know today that this episode is being released happens to be that one very

482
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,720
special, tricky day of the year.

483
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:28,760
Oh, so right about now is maybe when you're expecting me to say those three little words.

484
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,560
April Fool's bitch.

485
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:38,560
Oh, but I actually cannot because the story's true.

486
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:45,200
I was like, I'm gonna have to figure out the rotation here in advance and take this episode

487
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,400
out of your schedule.

488
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,160
It was like, we're taking April Fool's off every year for ever.

489
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:52,160
No, we're not.

490
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,840
It's too good.

491
00:20:54,840 --> 00:21:00,680
I know though that like this, like all of this, like having a bride of Jake, like beauty

492
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,440
passion, this sounds like it could be like an April Fool's joke.

493
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:05,440
It really does.

494
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,440
It really does.

495
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,560
We do a photo evidence.

496
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:15,560
So I mean, nothing is to be said about his, his before life, you know, with all that

497
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:21,760
shenanigans, obviously, you know, maybe that's, there's not a lot of truth in that, but all

498
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:26,840
the rest of it is true.

499
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,600
And now I feel like I have to prove it to you by telling you how Marsh's free museum got

500
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:31,600
started.

501
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:32,600
Okay.

502
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,720
So picture it long beach 1921.

503
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,720
The 20s.

504
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:44,480
Wellington Marsh senior opens an ice cream shop and candy shop and then a tavern and then

505
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,480
kind of giving Bob's burgers.

506
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:53,000
He opens a temporary burger stand for crowds that drew to Gawk at a shipwreck.

507
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,440
Oh, doesn't that sound like something like Bob's burgers would do?

508
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,120
Honestly, it's so 1920s of it.

509
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:04,360
I just, I can't, which then let him to open up a restaurant and bar.

510
00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:05,360
Okay.

511
00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:06,360
Well, I mean, sure.

512
00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:09,760
He's like, listen, this whole temporary thing has worked out well.

513
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:15,960
What if we, what if we just, what if it was permanent made that ship permanent?

514
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,880
I thought the shipwreck was kind of interesting too.

515
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:20,880
Okay.

516
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,000
So this is the shipwreck and it was kind of giving like Titanic fire.

517
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,320
Yeah.

518
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:26,320
This is kind of crazy.

519
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,960
This is why I thought it was interesting.

520
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,760
So I'll tell you a little bit about it.

521
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:37,800
It was a 300 feet passenger liner steamship carrying 39 passengers and 65 crew members named

522
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:44,640
the Admiral Benson, which we compared the Benson hotel to the Titanic.

523
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,400
Oh, that is weird.

524
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,720
It's just kind of like a full circle mismatch.

525
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:51,720
Yeah.

526
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,120
One of those synchronized things.

527
00:22:55,120 --> 00:23:01,640
It is considered one of the biggest shipwrecks in the area known as the graveyard of the Pacific.

528
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,120
So it was pretty big wreck.

529
00:23:04,120 --> 00:23:05,120
Yeah.

530
00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:10,320
It was obviously a few other wrecks to be known as the graveyard of the Pacific.

531
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,840
I would say.

532
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:17,040
So people watched it there for days because it was stuck and they couldn't get it out.

533
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,040
That is so crazy.

534
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,040
Yeah.

535
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,080
So that's why there was a burger stand because people were sitting there watching this thing.

536
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,240
But it's not still there.

537
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,240
I don't know.

538
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:27,240
It's not still there.

539
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:32,440
I think it either like got destroyed or they destroyed it to move it out of there.

540
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:33,440
Like it.

541
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:34,440
Yeah.

542
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,520
The beach was later named Benson Beach.

543
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,120
So back to Wellington's new restaurant.

544
00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:46,400
This was during the Depression when people couldn't really afford their tabs so they would

545
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:52,200
pay with items of interest or as like a placeholder until they could pay their bill.

546
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:58,360
So I think that's kind of like a pawn shop or you like give them something in exchange.

547
00:23:58,360 --> 00:23:59,360
I don't know.

548
00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:00,360
I was like a placeholder.

549
00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:03,560
Like you either keep this or I'll come back and call my bill.

550
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:04,400
Yeah.

551
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:05,400
That's the word I'm thinking.

552
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:06,400
Yeah.

553
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:07,400
Thank you.

554
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,800
So Wellington would put these items on the wall and it sort of drew people in to come and

555
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,080
look at like the random weird stuff on the wall that people would leave there.

556
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,240
And that was the start of Marsh's free museum.

557
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,720
Oh my God.

558
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:27,440
In 1935 he opened the museum and its own building next to the world's largest frying pan and

559
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,520
world's largest razor clam.

560
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:30,520
Okay.

561
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:37,080
And I actually have a pick of the frying pan and that's Wellington.

562
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,120
He's like in the frying pan.

563
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:44,720
In the frying pan and I'll read you what it says quote, "Marsh senior spread eagled in

564
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,520
front of the world where the frying pan to show its size."

565
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,720
I mean it is accurate.

566
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,320
And they do mean spread eagle like arms.

567
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:59,160
But when I think spread eagle I think legs and it's like showing its size when I think

568
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,160
it's funny.

569
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,280
But he is spread eagle with his arms.

570
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:10,080
In 1968 Wellington's children bought Jake the alligator man from a local antique dealer

571
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,280
for $750.

572
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:17,280
Today's money is $6,848.36.

573
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,080
So I think I'd be pretty upset.

574
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:25,200
There's a point to end nearly $7,000 on that but it's not like not a small amount.

575
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:30,240
And at first they were like this is too much and actually left.

576
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:35,760
But Mrs. Marsh was infatuated with Jake so she persuaded her husband to go back and buy

577
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:36,760
him.

578
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:37,760
Okay.

579
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,600
So I don't know Jake the lady's man.

580
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,600
I mean, really?

581
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:44,600
Saying something.

582
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,280
Wow.

583
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:52,880
Before that Jake's first known origin was the cliff house in San Francisco.

584
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:58,200
Which there's a lot of info on that and we will be coming back to that in the future.

585
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:04,880
Oh, I'm not going to tell you anymore about the cliff house in San Francisco right now.

586
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:05,880
Right now.

587
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:11,960
Then in 1972 they moved to a newly built location across the street from the frying pan and all

588
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:12,960
that.

589
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:18,640
And I think the frying pan and razor clams are still there as far as I know.

590
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:25,800
And then in 2010 thanks to a senior project they installed the world's largest chopsticks

591
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,160
30 feet long in front of Marsh's free museum.

592
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,160
Oh my gosh.

593
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,760
So they still got free.

594
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,560
They still got big old biggest things outside their museum.

595
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,520
I love that.

596
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:44,800
In 1978, Wellington Marsh senior passed away but his museum is still in the family.

597
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:50,280
And Wellington must have had a soft spot for Jake too because his likeness is carved on

598
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:51,280
his headstone.

599
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:52,760
Oh my gosh.

600
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:58,800
To which his granddaughter says, well, 100 years from now, you'll be like, what the hell is

601
00:26:58,800 --> 00:26:59,800
that?

602
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:00,800
End quote.

603
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,120
I don't think I need to wait 100 years.

604
00:27:04,120 --> 00:27:11,120
I feel as though my default reaction is what the hell is that?

605
00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:15,840
No one really cares how Jake came to be and something it's better not to know.

606
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:16,840
Oh.

607
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:17,840
Gives him that.

608
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,640
The mystique.

609
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:24,840
But if you're a knowledge seeking bitch like me, you must know.

610
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,840
I need to know.

611
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:33,040
I mostly wanted to know that this wasn't like a house of a thousand corpses situation where

612
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,240
they turned white shrewt into fish boy.

613
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,200
I know you probably haven't seen this movie.

614
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,200
No.

615
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,200
And all is that sounds terrible.

616
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:47,640
So the rain Wilson was in this movie and they're murderers and they so they like, they make

617
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,320
him into a fish boy for their like oddity.

618
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:51,320
Oh yeah.

619
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:52,320
Yeah.

620
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,320
Yeah.

621
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:54,320
Yeah.

622
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,320
They put like tail on them.

623
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:57,320
Yeah.

624
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:58,720
It's it's gruesome.

625
00:27:58,720 --> 00:27:59,720
Yeah.

626
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:00,720
I can imagine.

627
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:01,720
Yeah.

628
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:06,920
So yeah, I wanted to know like this wasn't like a real purse like a real head, you know.

629
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,240
I was concerned.

630
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,240
Yeah.

631
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,840
But it is not it is not a person or creature.

632
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,840
It's art.

633
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:20,600
Most people think that this might be the artwork of Homer Tate and this is someone who did

634
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:25,080
very similar artwork in the 40s and 50s.

635
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:30,640
He was the top supplier for tourist traps inside show attraction items.

636
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:31,640
Okay.

637
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:32,640
Okay.

638
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,320
Which for the record, I am a sucker for tourist trap.

639
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,400
And I don't think it's like a negative thing.

640
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:39,400
I think it's so fun.

641
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,000
Well, it just depends on what you're looking for.

642
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Yeah.

643
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,600
I mean, you can take trips where you're going to go and you're going to eat it.

644
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,800
Like all of the fun, so you just risk rolls.

645
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:53,080
And then there are going to be trips where you eat like chili cheese fries and go and

646
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,440
see the largest frying pan or or jake gale get her man.

647
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:57,440
Yeah.

648
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:02,200
Some of the things he made were like shrunken head replicas because obviously you can't

649
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,720
have real like shrunken heads.

650
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:05,720
Yeah.

651
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:12,560
Wolf Boy, which is in season six episode two of American pickers.

652
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:21,640
And the thing which resides at the Bowen travel center in Texas Canyon, Arizona.

653
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:22,640
Okay.

654
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:28,600
Which is apparently so remote that everything is reading about it specifies that it's about

655
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,800
20 miles east of Benson, Arizona.

656
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,920
Oh, it's not weird.

657
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,880
Another fucking Benson in the story.

658
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,440
Yeah, that's weird.

659
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,440
And it's like, I just thought it was interesting.

660
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,840
Like it really doesn't have anything to it's not in Benson, but like it's so remote that

661
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,120
you have to specify where it's at.

662
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:52,760
So like that's the only way we can help give you sort of a geolocation.

663
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,760
20 miles east of Benson.

664
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:55,760
Alrighty.

665
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,240
So now that we've come full circle with all the Benson's.

666
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:00,240
Yeah.

667
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,240
Really?

668
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,640
That is the end of my scale detail.

669
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,960
But I am left with one question.

670
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:13,280
Is it Jake the alligator man or Jake the man alligator?

671
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,960
Not sure, but that's really the only question.

672
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:23,360
And it's not an April full show.

673
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:24,360
Okay.

674
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,520
Oh, I did want to show you.

675
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:28,520
Okay.

676
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,760
So this is some of the stuff that Homer Tate did.

677
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,840
This is him and his little workshop with his art.

678
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,840
Very odd things.

679
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:43,120
And then the thing kind of looks like what we saw in Austin with like it was like the Ice

680
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:44,120
Man or something.

681
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:45,120
It was like this.

682
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:50,520
It's like in like a concrete enclosure and you go up and look through the window, the

683
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:51,520
glass window on top.

684
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,480
Makes you feel like it could break out.

685
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:54,480
Yeah.

686
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:55,480
Yeah.

687
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:56,480
I didn't really see any pictures of it.

688
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,280
That's kind of the only picture I saw of it.

689
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,360
But I didn't like dig super deep.

690
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,840
I mean, you got a few threads you're pulling on.

691
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:04,840
Yeah.

692
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:05,840
A couple.

693
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,560
And then there is also one post I wanted to show you.

694
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:18,040
So it is Jake the alligator man and the unipyper, which the unipyper is a port like a famous Portland

695
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:19,320
street performer.

696
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:24,240
He does the bagpipes with flames on a unicycle.

697
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,240
Yeah.

698
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:26,240
Yeah.

699
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,640
So apparently he went to the jigsworthy at one point.

700
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:35,480
And then I couldn't find it on the website, but the website said you could put your own

701
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:36,800
Jake fan club ticket.

702
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,720
I couldn't find where you could do that.

703
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:44,960
But I found a picture of one of the fan club printout on his enclosure.

704
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,200
I like wanted to find one of those and put our names on it.

705
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:49,880
It says, Hell yeah.

706
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,600
Jake the alligator man fan club.

707
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,440
This certifies that link is a member in good standing.

708
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:56,440
That's so cute.

709
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:57,440
Yeah.

710
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,960
That's the end of my Scaly tail.

711
00:31:59,960 --> 00:32:00,960
Scaly daily.

712
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,160
Do you think we should do some hair over this?

713
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:05,160
Ooh.

714
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,160
But of course.

715
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,680
I think we're going to have to pause so I can go throw up.

716
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:09,680
I'm not.

717
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:10,680
Be ready.

718
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:11,680
Okay.

719
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,840
I brought cards little enough for you to shuffle.

720
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,040
Not that full.

721
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:21,120
I brought my cabinet terium deck of cards.

722
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,160
So it's like oddities.

723
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,000
I thought it was very appropriate.

724
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Yeah.

725
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,000
Wow.

726
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,120
Yeah, they're really cool looking.

727
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,440
Yeah, this is the most expensive deck of cards I've ever bought.

728
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,120
But it was so worth it.

729
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,360
I can't remember where I got it.

730
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:38,360
I got.

731
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,440
We were together, I think.

732
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,840
Yeah, I feel like I remember you buying these.

733
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,040
I cannot remember for the life of me either.

734
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,680
We probably talked about it on an episode because I know we used them like right after

735
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:50,680
a bottle.

736
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,280
So anyone remembers where we acquired these?

737
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:59,040
And then I go back and listen to all the episodes and see when I probably be sure to listen

738
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,040
to all the ads.

739
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,040
You know, yeah.

740
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,480
Maybe twice, two, three times, you know, probably.

741
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,040
You're not doing anything all of that.

742
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,240
Yeah, look how small these are.

743
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:09,920
It's just a regular deck of playing cards.

744
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,400
I know what it like compared to doing like tarot just seems like these are so tiny.

745
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,520
Like I can barely keep them in my hands.

746
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:17,520
They're so tiny.

747
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:18,520
Yeah.

748
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:19,520
Okay.

749
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,840
I think I'm about jakey alligator man's is.

750
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,760
I was such a fun episode to research too.

751
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,000
Oh, yeah.

752
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:34,640
When I was researching and I came across the cliff in, or was it cliff, I can't remember in

753
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:35,960
San Francisco.

754
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:40,640
And I came across that and I was like, there's so much tea here.

755
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:46,320
That's what I was like freaking out yesterday while I was researching.

756
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,320
I'm feeling this.

757
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,880
Oh.

758
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:55,680
This is like the chaotic alligator man man alligator.

759
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:56,680
I'm just here.

760
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,480
I'm just here for the ride.

761
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,800
Are you feeling any any areas of interest?

762
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,400
I always feel like kind of in the in like the center.

763
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,080
I feel like I'm always pulled.

764
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,960
Like kind of drawn to like the middle.

765
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,480
Oh, okay.

766
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,280
Oh.

767
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,520
We got like a planter kind of and it's green.

768
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:20,520
Hmm.

769
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,640
It could be like an alligator tail and there's a man's face on it.

770
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:25,640
Oh.

771
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:26,640
Yeah.

772
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,240
Actually, that is it works.

773
00:34:29,240 --> 00:34:30,240
Yeah.

774
00:34:30,240 --> 00:34:33,400
I mean, it's not totally unlike him.

775
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:34,800
I will say that.

776
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,760
It's the three of the pentacles.

777
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,120
Do we need to check clubs?

778
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:42,120
Is that clubs?

779
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:43,120
It is.

780
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:44,120
Yeah.

781
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,120
Oh, that's interesting.

782
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:51,560
Cardamansi, clubs symbolizes the five fingers of the hand can represent working with one's

783
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:58,240
hands or making something interesting like home or take making things, you know, with

784
00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:02,280
his hands and that is interesting.

785
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:03,280
No.

786
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:04,280
Okay.

787
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,400
Are you getting a match to a suit?

788
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:08,600
I didn't look that up yet.

789
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:13,480
I just like for some reason randomly came across that like I just typed in like clubs in

790
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,280
Cardamansi to see what would come up.

791
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:17,280
What was your suit?

792
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:18,280
Okay.

793
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:19,280
So I did.

794
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,000
I fully thought it was pentacles.

795
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Is it cups?

796
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,000
No, it's ones.

797
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,360
We haven't done this in a while.

798
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,160
So yeah.

799
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:35,800
Fully thought I would just like pick up a regular deck and remember everything, you know.

800
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:36,800
Diamonds are pentacle.

801
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,800
I was like, okay, I feel like that makes sense.

802
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:40,800
Yeah.

803
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:41,800
Okay.

804
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:42,800
One.

805
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,880
This is why we were drawn to look it up and not trust our judgment.

806
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,880
I mean, could you imagine?

807
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,520
We have ones.

808
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,040
I want to say it's a very mysterious car.

809
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:55,280
Okay.

810
00:35:55,280 --> 00:36:06,000
Three of ones are keywords are creativity and skill, self-expression, growth, competence,

811
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,120
and manifestation.

812
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:13,720
I feel like all of that, especially with like Wellington, Mars, and all of his businesses.

813
00:36:13,720 --> 00:36:14,720
Oh.

814
00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:15,720
Yeah.

815
00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:16,720
Kind of an entrepreneurial.

816
00:36:16,720 --> 00:36:17,720
Yeah.

817
00:36:17,720 --> 00:36:20,920
That was like one of the words they used to describe him for sure, because he like saw

818
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:25,280
the opportunity of like the shipwreck and all those people just standing there with nothing

819
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:26,280
to eat.

820
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,120
Dude, you're gonna, okay.

821
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,040
Read on.

822
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:34,320
Now is the time to show the world what you can do.

823
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:42,000
You've worked hard to develop your talents and have confidence in your abilities.

824
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:47,840
You feel passionately about what you do and believe you can inspire others.

825
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:48,840
Express yourself.

826
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:49,840
Express yourself.

827
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:50,840
Okay.

828
00:36:50,840 --> 00:37:01,640
In the upright position, it says you've developed a project, business, creative endeavor,

829
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:05,320
or other venture, and now you're ready to share it with others.

830
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:06,320
Yeah.

831
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,160
A couple of few of them.

832
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:09,160
Yeah.

833
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:10,160
Maybe like a burger stand.

834
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:11,160
I don't know, whatever.

835
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:12,160
I'm casually amused.

836
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:13,160
You see them.

837
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,200
That's lasted till present day.

838
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:17,960
Like, yeah.

839
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:22,080
By devoting yourself fully to your goal, you can succeed.

840
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,560
Do what's necessary to bring your dreams to fruition.

841
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:26,560
Oh.

842
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,080
Like buying a $750 jake theater man.

843
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,920
It would be like almost $7,000 now.

844
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:34,920
No.

845
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:35,920
No.

846
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:36,920
No.

847
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:37,920
I don't know.

848
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:38,920
I'd buy.

849
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:43,280
I buy a lot of things I don't need.

850
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,920
Yeah, they're usually not $7,000 though.

851
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:46,920
No.

852
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,920
Just these like oddity cards that were like, you know, oh, we needed those.

853
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,800
Like $35 for the darkest time.

854
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:59,240
In a reading about money, the upright three shows increase and financial support coming

855
00:37:59,240 --> 00:38:01,560
to you.

856
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:06,760
You may have to spend money to make money.

857
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,800
But this card promises success.

858
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:15,080
In a reading about work, this card suggests an exciting time when your efforts start to bear

859
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,080
fruit.

860
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:17,080
Ooh.

861
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:22,760
You're giving it your all, inspiring others and attracting people who are eager to help

862
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:23,760
you.

863
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,440
Your ideas begin to take form.

864
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,200
Collaboration can be beneficial.

865
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:35,920
If you ask about a relationship, the three indicates a commitment, an engagement or marriage.

866
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,920
No way.

867
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,920
That's crazy.

868
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,120
Right of jake.

869
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,120
Right of jake and stunning.

870
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,880
It is kind of a jake and stunning.

871
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:51,400
Well, and then the fact that the celebration is on the same day as my wedding day.

872
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,400
Yeah, that is so fun.

873
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:54,400
It's so weird.

874
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:59,120
You and a partner express passionate feelings for each other and celebrate your love.

875
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:04,200
They said one of the things that it could be like a talent show that the woman does to

876
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:05,200
become bright.

877
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:11,440
So she'll do like a talent or she'll like just profess her undying love for jake.

878
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:12,440
Like this.

879
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:16,200
Okay, there's a short extra excerpt.

880
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:22,240
Hidden alliances work to move you into your authentic vocation as soon as you begin to

881
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:24,840
commit to it.

882
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:28,840
Should I try out to be a bride of jake?

883
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,840
Should I join the beauty pageant?

884
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,920
Is that what the cards are telling me?

885
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:35,920
Sure.

886
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:36,920
I'm doing it you guys.

887
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,960
I'm doing it this year.

888
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,760
Not that's not April Fool's either.

889
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:41,760
I'm doing it.

890
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,760
Oh, you need a slight jacket.

891
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,600
Oh my God.

892
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,600
That would be me in a beauty pageant.

893
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:52,600
That's all.

894
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:53,600
That's all she wrote.

895
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:54,800
That's all folks.

896
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:59,680
I have been eyeballing this one though.

897
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,640
I hadn't but now I am.

898
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,840
There's one card sitting here and it's just like on the cord.

899
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,880
So I'm just curious what it is.

900
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:07,880
Yeah.

901
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,960
Oh, it's another like slightly green.

902
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,000
It looks like weird scissors.

903
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,000
Yeah.

904
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,800
That almost looks like a mermaid, like a fin.

905
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,800
Oh, like the Fiji.

906
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,800
And it also looks like infinity symbol.

907
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:23,800
Oh.

908
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,800
Eight one, baby.

909
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:26,800
Mm-hmm.

910
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,080
And I feel like this is in reverse because this would be afraid.

911
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:31,080
Oh.

912
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,080
I think.

913
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,400
Okay, so what is the space?

914
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,600
So, the space is sort.

915
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:37,600
Okay.

916
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,600
So I double check but I'm worried.

917
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:40,600
So, sure.

918
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:41,600
Yeah, sort.

919
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,080
So we got the four swords.

920
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:51,320
In reverse, he wears our rest recuperation, retreat, solitude, introspection and recovery.

921
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,760
That's what Jake needs because he's got to be behind that cape.

922
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,880
You know, I was just thinking that I owe boy.

923
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:02,840
Even the, on the original card, like the imagery kind of looks like someone who could like

924
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,360
be in a glass case, like just like a land there.

925
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:06,360
Yeah.

926
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:10,600
I meant like last case of emotion.

927
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,400
Four symbolized stability.

928
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:17,720
This card represents withdrawing and resting in order to get your bearings after a time of

929
00:41:17,720 --> 00:41:19,040
trouble.

930
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,000
Went too hard on the weekend with Bernie's thing.

931
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,320
You know what I realized, too.

932
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,440
This looks like a lock of hair that it cut off.

933
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:34,240
And they did talk about like Jake's wispy, like orange hair that he has on his head.

934
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:36,520
And this kind of looks like it.

935
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:37,520
Roos!

936
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,320
That's hilarious.

937
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,600
Okay, let's go to the reverse.

938
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:47,600
The reverse for indicates you need to rest but aren't giving yourself the timeout you

939
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:48,800
require.

940
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,280
If you continue the way you're going, you could even make yourself sick.

941
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:53,800
I thought what I just did.

942
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:58,240
I was going to say that one feels a little targeted.

943
00:41:58,240 --> 00:42:03,720
Unless you allow your mind, body and spirit a chance to recover, the situation will grow

944
00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:04,720
worse.

945
00:42:04,720 --> 00:42:06,840
Well, I think they're doing that at least for Jake.

946
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,240
I feel like maybe I need to take this advice, too.

947
00:42:10,240 --> 00:42:12,840
I think you may need to have a little lie down later.

948
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:13,840
Yeah.

949
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:14,840
My therapist would agree.

950
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,240
I, yeah, I'm sure.

951
00:42:18,240 --> 00:42:24,200
In a reading about money, the reverse for can indicate remorse about a financial matter.

952
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:30,800
Oh, I feel like there wasn't that with Jake, but maybe the husband was like, "Damn it."

953
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:35,400
Because the wife made him go back and buy it, so I mean there could have been some remorse.

954
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,280
Could be.

955
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:42,000
Perhaps you continue pushing yourself to make money, depleting your energy even though

956
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,080
you really need to take a break.

957
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,520
So maybe he just was like, "I don't want to make a museum."

958
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:52,080
It's interesting, too, because it's a free museum.

959
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:53,600
I mean, it's in the name.

960
00:42:53,600 --> 00:43:00,320
So they're making money from their postcard selling, I assume, or maybe donations.

961
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:05,200
So I mean, I can't imagine they're making a ton of money, you know?

962
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,960
But it's got to be a lot of effort that goes into it.

963
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:08,960
Oh, yeah.

964
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:09,960
I mean, look at us.

965
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:10,960
Oh, my God.

966
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:11,960
You're going to shit.

967
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,600
I've already done that today.

968
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:20,160
No, this is, we literally just talked about this.

969
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:21,160
Okay.

970
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,960
If the reading is about your job, you have trouble dealing with the stress and demands

971
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:29,080
in your workplace, but can't see away out of the situation.

972
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,840
Your head spinning and you're running on empty.

973
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:39,320
Perhaps seeking advice from a counselor or someone you respect can give you a new perspective.

974
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:40,320
Okay, cards.

975
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:41,320
Hmm.

976
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,320
This was about Jake.

977
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,320
Not about Kathy.

978
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:50,320
That's why I was feeling drawn to that card, though, and you didn't really even notice it.

979
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:51,320
Yeah.

980
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,880
Oh, because I'm ignoring it.

981
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,880
I'm like, yeah, no, thank you.

982
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,880
I don't need to hear those messages.

983
00:43:57,880 --> 00:43:59,400
No.

984
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:06,120
In a reading about love, this card can signify giving up on a relationship or giving in with

985
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:07,120
regrets.

986
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,800
I mean, he does have to find a new bride every year.

987
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:10,800
Yeah.

988
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,720
It's demanding is what it is.

989
00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:15,480
It's a lot of work for 75 year old.

990
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,600
I mean, come on.

991
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:24,480
In some cases, it may mean a temporary situation so you can heal old wounds, gain clarity and work

992
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,760
on yourself or make burgers.

993
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,160
Really, I think I'm hungry.

994
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:34,160
I think that's why we keep coming back to the burgers.

995
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:35,160
I'm sorry.

996
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:36,800
Call about those burgers.

997
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:37,800
No extra zirps.

998
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:38,800
No.

999
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:39,800
All right.

1000
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:44,240
Well, I'm going to read this little paragraph that I miss because it's so cute.

1001
00:44:44,240 --> 00:44:46,760
And obviously, I was like, wait a minute.

1002
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:50,200
I didn't even say the cute thing that I wanted to talk about.

1003
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:51,200
Okay.

1004
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:55,040
And it's kind of a circle, another circle moment, too.

1005
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:56,040
Oh.

1006
00:44:56,040 --> 00:45:03,200
So in 1944, Wilts' vacationing in Florida, well, I'm going to notice the successful souvenir

1007
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:04,200
shell shops.

1008
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:05,200
Say that fact.

1009
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,240
I said, oh, no, I wouldn't.

1010
00:45:07,240 --> 00:45:08,240
Successful souvenir shell shops.

1011
00:45:08,240 --> 00:45:09,240
Dang it.

1012
00:45:09,240 --> 00:45:10,240
Shush.

1013
00:45:10,240 --> 00:45:14,000
So he was like, hmm, my museum's at the beach.

1014
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:18,840
Maybe I should sell sea shells down by the long shore.

1015
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:19,840
Oh.

1016
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,040
The long beach, get it?

1017
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:29,640
Although he did have to import the shells because whole shells, like whole local shells

1018
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,040
are hard to come by.

1019
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:37,240
But they apparently give customers a tiny shell glued to a card to this very day.

1020
00:45:37,240 --> 00:45:38,240
Oh.

1021
00:45:38,240 --> 00:45:41,080
It's not so fucking cute.

1022
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:42,600
That's adorable.

1023
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:49,200
And he noticed that while vacationing in Florida, and then they steal his alligator man photo

1024
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:50,720
and then say it's from Florida.

1025
00:45:50,720 --> 00:45:53,240
So it's just like another interesting thing.

1026
00:45:53,240 --> 00:45:54,240
Christy.

1027
00:45:54,240 --> 00:45:56,240
I thought that was so cute, the little sea shells.

1028
00:45:56,240 --> 00:45:57,840
I want a tiny little glued shell.

1029
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:59,400
I love a tiny sea shell.

1030
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,040
And they just give shit away.

1031
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:02,040
We're free.

1032
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:03,040
Where's mine?

1033
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:04,040
We got to go.

1034
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,800
We got to go visit Jake and get our free sea shell if they still do it.

1035
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,800
I don't know, 100% for sure.

1036
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:10,800
But we're going to find out.

1037
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,600
We are going to find out.

1038
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,160
Long beach isn't that far away.

1039
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:15,160
No, it's really not.

1040
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:16,160
Yeah.

1041
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:17,160
I think we're done.

1042
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:18,160
It's fucking Sunday.

1043
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:19,160
Let's go.

1044
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:20,160
Yeah.

1045
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:21,160
We're going to get back to the nothing.

1046
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:22,160
Do nothing.

1047
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:23,160
Yeah.

1048
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,440
Rest is important.

1049
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:26,440
Allegedly.

1050
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:32,120
We're going to go rest to like Jake and a glass case.

1051
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:33,480
I just had the best idea.

1052
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:40,040
We need to get replicas of ourselves the partyers that we just set out at parties.

1053
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,840
People can put birthday hats on us.

1054
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,200
I think maybe you need the rest.

1055
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:51,080
I think the ideas and maybe they'll regenerate with a little rest.

1056
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:52,080
All right.

1057
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:53,080
If you say so.

1058
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,080
That's a creepy ass day.

1059
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,960
We'll see you next Tuesday.

1060
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,400
Or we'll see you later, alligator.

1061
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:06,200
You're going to say the second part of it.

1062
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:07,200
What?

1063
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:08,200
After a while, crocodile?

1064
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:09,200
Oh.

1065
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:10,200
You don't know that?

1066
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:11,720
I was like, I don't know.

1067
00:47:11,720 --> 00:47:15,200
I didn't realize that was like the second half.

1068
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:19,000
After a while, crocodile.

1069
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,000
Somebody get me a goddam burger.

1070
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:32,200
Oh, my head hurts.

1071
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,200
Am I doing it?

1072
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,200
Am I doing it?

1073
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:37,200
Am I okay?

1074
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,200
Yeah, I think you sound like yourself.

1075
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:40,200
Okay, good.

1076
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,200
We're going to hope that I can get the pills.

1077
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:44,200
So I think we're okay.

1078
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,200
I'm just hoping the migraine isn't contagious.

1079
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,120
It better fucking not be.

1080
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,040
It's the weather though, I think.

1081
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:52,040
The weather did it.

1082
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:53,040
It's swed away.

1083
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,080
It is nice for recording those.

1084
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:56,080
Not too sunny.

1085
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,240
So we're not getting blasted from the back.

1086
00:47:58,240 --> 00:47:59,240
Yeah.

1087
00:47:59,240 --> 00:48:01,640
Nobody likes getting blasted from the back.

1088
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,640
Unless you���re nasty.

1089
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,240
Oh no. pnwhauntsandhomicides.com
