I am, you fucked me up, dude. How do you get out of here? You're supposed to say, supposed to say, hello, I'm Shenior Jerry,

and hi, it's me, Izzy Bell. All right, I guess that'll work. Amanda, quick question for me. And that what?

Do you believe that there was ever a race of redheaded giants in the Western Union, United States? I mean, well, like that, like, way bigger than the average person will call. Oh, like, like seven footers.

Yes. Yeah. Okay. I'm down, but also they found bones of giants in the wild.

In the wild. All right. So in Nevada, there is a town called Love Lock. Ooh.

Back in 1911. Oh, Jesus. There were some men that were in a cave known as, get this, Love Lock Cave.

Whoa. They were looking for guano. Ew, why? You know what guano is?

A spinturopet detective, sir. Yes, it was bat poop. And it was the main ingredient in fertilizer back then. That's why they were looking for it.

You know what stops dangerous? You inhale it too much. Yes. A good upper respiratory infections.

That's nice. Anyways, they dug deeper into the cave to find this guano. They found way more than bat poop. They found more than 40 human skeletons,

Most of which were abnormally large. Well, can we just stop and think about this real quick? Do you think it's incest, you know? Like they're stomping uglies with them,

others than their fathers and their sisters and their cousins and their aunts and their uncles and their hapaz. So you think they grew to be gigantic size due to possible incest?

Well, I mean, let's not throw it off the table. I mean, anything is possible in Pandora's box. This is true. So these skulls and bones were extra thick and most were between seven and eight foot tall. So that wouldn't classify as a giant today, you know, theoretically, but in the early 1900s, the average size of a man was five, seven.

So a group of people that were probably seven and eight feet tall. Yeah, that's saying something. I have a question. Yes.

How do we know that there wasn't an invisible beanstalk and that is actually real? And they came from the beanstalks and they hid in a cave because humans are scared. All right, I'm going to just pretend like you didn't even say that. But why?

Think about that. Like, why are they in a cave? What like why they they were scared and they ran to the cave. Well, I'll get to why they were supposedly in a cave after this break.

Just kidding. No, not at this. So the other thing that was strange about this was the skeletons, most of them had red hair. You know, I think this is going to sound familiar.

OK, keep going. So they did seem to be a different kind of people. That were different than the Native American people of the area. So unfortunately, most of these large bones have been lost to time.

For decades, a number of these huge skulls were actually on display in a local museum, but they're gone now. About 10 years ago, the four skulls that they did have or were buried and there was a little ceremony and stuff.

Well, I have a question. Yes. Like, why did they have to say thick bones together? Like, like those are some thick bones.

Like, so thick. Because I think the whole point of it was. They could take a lot of them to like be composed. No, I think the whole point of it was not only were they taller,

but their bones were bigger around, which made the giant thing seem more like not just tall people. They were big all the way around. They were just big bone.

Eh, eh, eh. Ha ha ha. Ha. Sorry.

There was more than skeletons found in Love Lock Cave. There were sandals. Sandals that would have been a size 29 in the United States. 29.

So what is that? Like the size of your whole body? So that would have taken if you stretch it out to what it would extrapolate it out. It would be a nine foot tall person to wear a size 29.

Holy crap. Oh my God. It would be as big as you and then be like Jerry shoes. You're funny.

There was also pieces of cloth that would fit somebody that size as well. So it's almost like, you know, how you get like doll clothes that are like small. They just made it out of the same thing, but extra big. Wait, so there is no big and tall like they made it.

So it was probably made of like hides of animals and stuff. I correct. Are those in a museum? No, they used to.

Well, yes, actually, they are in the museum. Which one? I guess the one in love, love lock. I want to go to a local museum.

So maybe that's what I'll do. Now, Amanda, this might sound strange to hear. But there were giant bones found in obviously a cave in Nevada. But there were many other accounts of giant skeletons found

all over the Wild West. The Vata, the aliens came from there. In the Southwest, it was common to hear such stories about bones being found. It went along with the biblical, biblical beliefs back then of giants, obviously.

And I think the Bible actually mentions a race of redheaded giants as well. I mean, right, we're not the only one. Right. So when these people in the wild west would come across these bones, it really seemed to back up the stories that they were familiar with of giants in the Bible.

Bible. So the question was, were these giants? And I'll tell you more after this sponsor break. Do you like that, didn't you? I did. Yeah, add a little suspense to it. All right, Amanda, if you look back at history of that area and the

indigenous people, they were the Paiute tribes. You might get your answer because the Paiutes inhabited that area in Nevada for centuries. There was a woman named Sarah Winamuka. She was a descendant of Chief Winamuka, and she actually wrote a
