00:00The Cookie Monster
00:30It's not good enough for me
00:32Apparently it's not
00:34Here's the story from KSBWTV
00:38Take a listen
00:39It's the Creepy Monster, not the Cookie Monster
00:41Creeped out and uncomfortable
00:43Is what visitors on the Santa Cruz Wharf are feeling
00:45After encountering this man
00:47Dressed in a Cookie Monster costume
00:49The man is believed to badger people
00:51And aggressively yell
00:52We saw him at the beginning of the wharf
00:54And at first glance it seemed like
00:56Maybe it would be fun to do a selfie or something with him
00:58But we were away from him
01:01And then we went to the back of the wharf
01:02By the sea lions
01:04And that's when we noticed him coming out
01:06That direction, making a commotion
01:08And he was getting in
01:10People's faces
01:11I saw him on the day that the Sesame Street creator died
01:14And I told you he was sad about that
01:19He hasn't been the same since
01:21How you doing?
01:23I turned into a life of drinking
01:25And the drugs
01:27Because the creator of the Sesame Street
01:29Is that Jim Henson?
01:31No
01:31That's not Jim Henson
01:32No, it was not
01:33It was the Sesame Street creator
01:36Now he's the cocaine monster
01:38Yes
01:38I swear to God
01:40I saw the same guy in Vegas
01:41Jim Henson
01:42Jim Henson
01:42That's what I said, didn't I?
01:46That's what you said
01:47I'm so confused
01:48He's the guy that made the puppets
01:49I thought he was the puppeteer
01:51I didn't know he
01:52I didn't know he created that whole show
01:53Yeah, yeah, okay
01:54I thought he just did the puppets for him
01:56He was one of the co-creators of Sesame Street
01:58So when he died
01:59It was bad times for this guy
02:01Because I've seen the Vegas
02:03He's been angry ever since
02:04I believe there's a Vegas cookie monster that's out there
02:07I'm sure
02:08That smells really bad
02:11It's a very, very bad smell
02:12They didn't expect it, not in Santa Cruz
02:14No
02:15But then he kept showing up
02:18And I guess people are complaining out here about him
02:22The Santa Cruz Police Department is warning visitors
02:24To keep an eye out for the man
02:26Telling them to not engage
02:28Police tell us the man has faced criminal charges
02:31In other parts of the country
02:33Although police could not provide any additional details
02:36Yeah, he's a weirdo for sure
02:37He puts a W in weirdo
02:39I actually got him to take a picture of my dog
02:41Yeah, he kind of creeped my dog out too
02:43The police say they've received several calls
02:45But at this point
02:46The man has not committed any crimes in the city
02:49So he's just allowed to continue being cookie monster?
02:54Until someone kicks him out of there
02:56Also, his real name is Adam Sandler
02:59In real life?
03:01In real life, that's his name
03:02No way
03:03But his name, according to the news report that I read
03:06His real name is Adam Sandler
03:07My name is Adam
03:09Wait, what?
03:11Sandler
03:12Really?
03:12Yes
03:13That's different
03:14Adam Sandler
03:15Has that led to your life of troubles?
03:18Being Latino Adam Sandler?
03:19It is just a name I am telling the police
03:23May not be your real name
03:26You got it Dave
03:27So for you, C is cocaine
03:28Or is C
03:29C is for cocaine
03:30That is good enough for me
03:33C is for cocaine
03:36That's good enough for me
03:39Do you make those noises too?
03:41C is for cocaine
03:42That's good enough for me
03:44One, two, three
03:46Snack time
03:47Line time
03:49I don't like those imposter characters
04:03No
04:04I don't
04:04Vegas
04:05Times Square
04:06Okay, but think about it, right?
04:07So we had two people complaining about the guy
04:10Both of which
04:12Tried to get pictures of him
04:14So it's your fault as well
04:17Yeah, you're right
04:17People that are complaining
04:18Yeah, you encourage it
04:19Like, it's your fault
04:20Because he's realized
04:21Oh, wow
04:22I can
04:24People here want to take pictures of me
04:26Or with me
04:27And you know
04:28Part of the altercations are probably like
04:30He's asking for money, right?
04:32Like, hey, yeah
04:33You got the picture
04:35But that's going to be ten bucks or whatever
04:37And then people are like, no
04:38Because that's what they do
04:39They're like, yeah, yeah
04:39Get a picture
04:40Picture
04:40And then they're like, yeah, okay
04:42Ten dollars
04:42Exactly
04:43After the picture
04:44Yeah
04:44And he's probably a little aggressive
04:47Trying to get your money
04:49Yeah
04:50There was a guy dressed as Michael Myers
04:51In Vegas
04:53That was like
04:53Following me around for a while
04:55Just being creepy
04:57I did not like it
04:57Yeah
04:58No
04:58I did not like it
04:59Not that happy
05:00Yeah
05:01No, I was like
05:01Get away
05:02Do you want any picture with me?
05:04No
05:04I just met the Mexican minion
05:06Oh, yeah
05:08And it was the tiniest little
05:09I mean, those costumes were small, right?
05:10It was the tiniest little person
05:12They broke character to get some air
05:13And that was
05:14The smell, though
05:16That came off
05:17The smell
05:17There's a lot of smells
05:18Yeah
05:19You can't just be walking around
05:20Vegas heat
05:21Inside one of those costumes
05:22For hours on end
05:23Yeah
05:23Oof
05:24No good
05:26So watch out for
05:28If you're going to Santa Cruz
05:29Watch out for Cookie Monster
05:30He's not what he appears to be
05:33He puts the W in here
05:34I just like that their warning is to ignore him
05:36Ignore him
05:38Yeah
05:38Just ignore Cookie Monster
05:40Because if you pay attention to him
05:41And take a picture
05:42Cocaine Monster comes after you
05:44Yeah, he wins
05:45Yeah, he wins
05:46Yeah
05:47You
