Thetis Lake Monster
Aug 16, 202628 min
In this episode, Rhys and Jesse dive into the soggy saga of the so‑called Thetis Lake Monster—a five-foot fish-man allegedly terrorizing teens near Victoria in the 1970s. From the original reports by Robin and Gordon to the “supporting” sighting by Russell Van Nice and Mike, the story quickly unravels into exactly what it is: a teenage attention grab that somehow survived for decades online. Along the way, the hosts compare it to Ohio’s Loveland Frog, talk escaped lizards, TV creature features, and why obviously debunked stories still thrive in the age of clicks, TikToks, and conspiracy content. Plus: black‑eyed children, porn-title brainstorming, and a peek into Rhys’s workaholic routine vs. Jesse’s summer slump.

In this episode of Canada Is Boring: The Tinfoil Touque, Rhys Waters and Jesse dive into Project Magnet, Canada’s secretly funded UFO research program from the 1950s, led by government engineer Wilbert Brockhouse Smith. They unpack how a respected radio and broadcasting expert went from establishing ionospheric monitoring systems and TV allocation standards… to claiming telepathic contact with “space brothers” and linking UFOs to psychic phenomena. Along the way, they explore: How Project Magnet tried to harness geomagnetism as a propulsion system Why Smith believed UFOs were intelligent extraterrestrial craft The mysterious status of never-fully-declassified Canadian government files Parallels with Star Trek’s Prime Directive and modern UFO lore What happens when a serious scientist appears to lose his grip on reality The episode wraps up with small talk in the Small Talk Dimension, including ADHD, trying Vyvanse, near-miss pool-water drinking incidents, and a tease for the next East Coast cryptid/conspiracy story. If you’re into UFO history, Cold War weirdness, Canadian conspiracies, or just well-crafted rants, this one’s for you.

Are aliens surgically mutilating cattle across the Canadian prairies… or is there a far more grounded (and grosser) explanation? In this episode of Tinfoil Touque, Rhys Waters and Jesse dive into decades of bizarre prairie cattle mutilation reports from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and BC. We talk missing eyes and tongues, vanishing sex organs, no blood at the scene, strange surgical cuts, and RCMP files that still aren’t fully released. Along the way we explore: Classic conspiracy explanations: UFOs, secret government bioweapons, and satanic cults What ranchers, vets, and pathologists actually say about these cases The infamous “intergalactic vagina explosion” quote How scavengers like ravens, magpies, and blowflies can create “surgical” wounds Why some cases still don’t fit the natural explanation Plus, in the STD (Small Talk Dimension) Zone, Rhys talks about joining a new gym in Halifax, Jesse preps for a mystery biker-dive-bar date, and they tease next week’s story about a TikToker who filmed a “giant” in the Rocky Mountains. Is it aliens, cults, or just maggots doing what maggots do? For premium content, socials, merch, to leave a voicemail or message us go to canadaisboring.com Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of The Tinfoil Tuque , Rhys and Jesse dive into one of Canada’s most famous UFO cases: the Falcon Lake incident. Was Polish immigrant and amateur prospector Stefan Michalak really burned by a UFO in 1967—or was it a bizarre self‑inflicted hoax? Along the way they rant about conspiracy theories, flat‑Earthers, media bias, cops, and how the internet turned every would‑be investigative journalist into an online conspiracy-hunter. They also talk about the legacy of the case, from government investigations to a literal glow‑in‑the‑dark Canadian coin, and finish off in the Small Talk Dimension with vacation chaos in the Alps and smoked cocktails.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
