What State Does This Mythical Creature Belong To?

Welcome to Good Mythical More. We're looking at these real life monsters and the states that they were spotted in. We're gonna have to take the states and match them to the monsters. Well, it's gonna take us a long time to get there because this list is gonna be really long. Yeah. We're so good at this. Yeah, man. Candy, you can get at the movie theater. Candy, you can get at Milk Duds. Junior Mints. Raisinets. M&M's. Gummy rings. Peanut M&M's. Butter. Those cookie. Cookie dough bites. Cookie butter dough bites. Sour Patch Kids. Extreme Sour Patch Kids. Recess Pieces. Dots. Straight up just gummy bears. I don't think you can. Yeah, you can. I don't think you can. Yeah, you can at the right ones, you can. At the right theaters, you can. All right, well then what about popcorn? Not a candy, you lose! With candy in it. Oh, too late! I have recently discovered at both a Regal Theater and an AMC Theater, is that the same brand? Lack of Raisinets. There's a Raisinets shortage, yeah. They've left. No, I don't know what happened. It ran out of Nets. That was my movie candy of choice because it pairs so well with popcorn and it no longer exists. Pairs so well with popcorn. Wow, so you were the person getting the Raisinets. The reason they discontinued them is because you didn't, you weren't vocal enough. I mean, have you ever tried Raisinets with movie theater popcorn? No, and I never will now. No, I haven't. I just don't eat candy at the movie theater. I'm just anti-candy. The only thing that tempts me right now in terms of candy is a Sweet Tart Rope. Those things are pretty irresistible. If you've had it, you know, and if you don't, you're laughing. You just said you're anti-candy and then said you love Sweet Tart Rope, which is like the candiest candy of candy. Yeah. But other than that, nothing's gonna get me off the wagon. Do you just land on your candy? Because the perfect thing to do is to get popcorn. They'll eat candy if the kids eat it. That's why Raisinets are so good. Shepherd gets, most of the time, Shepherd gets peanut M&Ms, which also go well with popcorn. That's the secondary. That's what you have to do. So I'm popcorn 90%, then I'm like, shut up, and I just hold my hand out and he places them in there. And this is to go on like the savory, salty, sweet circle. Is that what it does? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. But you don't even get popcorn at the movie theater. I will get popcorn. Oh, you've started getting popcorn. Yeah. I've come around to popcorn. Do you, how much of it have you eaten, percentage-wise, before the movie starts? Well, if I'm going to the movie. If you go to AMC. And I haven't eaten dinner, I'll eat the whole bucket of popcorn. I mean, there's like seven trailers on average. But only if I haven't eaten dinner. Yeah, even if I have eaten dinner, I usually don't make it all the way to the movie before I finish the popcorn. I'm just a horse. Yeah, you are. Let's start with this guy, Northfield Pigman. Okay, I've heard of this. This is not an actual photo. I've heard of the Pigman. These are our choices. We've got Vermont, Kentucky, Indiana, Georgia, Colorado, South Dakota, and Pennsylvania. All of these will not be used today. I think the Northfield Pigman is either Indiana or Pennsylvania. I thought I met somebody who talked to me about this. Sounds like a town in Indiana. Northfield, Indiana. Home of the Pigman. Northfield, Georgia. Nope. Do you want to know about the Pigman? Oh, you know about the Pigman. Yeah, he's been captured. The Pigman? He was first sighted, the creature was first sighted in 1971 when a group of teens were disturbed by the sudden appearance of a bipedal figure covered in white fur with the face of a pig. He's bi? Yeah. But the Pigman's story begins 20 years earlier, 1951, the night before Halloween, local teen Sam Harris set out with mischief on his mind. That's how Sam got his career started. Famous atheist. He found Pigman. Mischief on his mind and a basket of eggs in hand only to never return home. Legend has it that the Pigman either killed young Sam Harris that night or Sam Harris became the Pigman by way of devilish possession and has been haunting his local community ever since. Sam Harris is the Pigman? Look at that, have you seen how I can do that? That's spooky. So, he's part pig, part man, but he's got a lot of hair. Is that, I would call that more of a boar. Once a pig goes bipedal, I think you have to call it a boar because it's so boring to watch. No, Rhett, that was a dumb joke. Yep, it was. I regret it already. I think we would have heard about this if this were Kentucky or Georgia. Indiana. We were right from the start. I really think Northfield, Indiana. It sounds like it. And look, it fits perfectly in there, look. It fits perfectly. Square, so it's gotta be right. Okay, let's bring in the next one. Now, before we bring in the next one, or let's bring in the next one just to see and then I gotta tell you about something and things are gonna fascinate you. I don't wanna over-promise and under-deliver. I wanna bring this one in because it's an actual photo of the thing. But one of my favorite things. And it's a great name. One of my favorite things about. Pope Lick Monster. One of my favorite things about our friendship is how I usually have to force my way into the conversation. You told me to put this out first. One of my favorite things about our friendship is how I get to introduce you to things that happen on the internet that you miss if they went under the link radar. When the pope was licked. And I don't know if you saw this and I'm assuming you didn't. There was a sighting of Bigfoot from a train and it was on TikTok a while back. I have not seen this. And it was the train that we took to the Whitewater rafting in Colorado. It was the Silverton, whatever, the Silverton, Colorado train. The people were on that train and there's, can you just search Colorado train Bigfoot sighting? Now obviously it's a dude in a suit but he's just walking along and then just sits down and I think they did it maybe as an ad for the train or something. I don't know, I didn't look into it but I was like, oh, I've been on that train. Didn't see Bigfoot that day but we've been on that train. It's a beautiful, beautiful little train ride and then you take this amazing river back down. So we'll look at that in a second but now let's decide about. Pope lick monster. So this is something, okay, somebody who would lick the pope. It's a very human hand. We're going, this is a high, we gotta go with a high concentration of Catholics. That's a good point. So that's definitely not Georgia. I think pope lick might be a town. I'm not seeing anything in the description about licking the pope, unfortunately. Right, but this is a demonic character. It says, it's unclear whether this creature possesses satanic powers, attacks its victims with a bloodstained ax or if the mere sight of this thing compels people to jump to their death. What is certain is that it's part man, part goat and part sheep and it terrorizes locals that dare venture near the railroad trestle bridge it lives under. Railroad trestle bridge. So I still feel like this. That is a cool freaking looking monster. The religious context. It's got some Narnia vibes, right? Yeah, it's a little bit of, what's the first guy they run into? Shorefoot, what's his name? I don't know. The guy that they run into in Narnia. Again, we're not in the south. I think Vermont or Pennsylvania. I was thinking, yeah, I agree. Vermont gets some crazy stuff, man. They got all that ice cream out there. I feel strangely confident about these first two. I think we might be going for a queen sweep. Yeah, I'm sure we are. Can we see the video? Can we show the link to the video? Is there a way we can run that video of that? Bigfoot spotted. That monster. In Colorado. I mean, basically, it's what you see in that video, but when you see him move. So he's like in the brush. There you go, he sits down. A couple on a romantic break in Colorado claims to have captured footage. They're not even showing the video. They're showing still shots and, but I think they might. I think they might show the video. More still shots and more text. Durango and Silverton. Been on the train. We had to take that train to get to the. But hikers go there all the time. I saw it on TikTok. It really is like. A guy in a suit. I mean, a guy in a suit. It's like a pretty bad costume. It's like a guy. But I just found it. It's a squatting Sasquatch. Because he was across the river and clearly it was like, I mean, I think that the couple that was on a romantic getaway, they set it up with like a friend. You're gonna be there, we're gonna do it. We'll get in the papers. I don't think so. I don't think. I think there's so many hikers over there and so many people on the train. That's a long ways away. But he's just sitting there shilling. But like accessing that part. I mean, it's hard to access that part over there. Yeah, but some hiker did it. Yeah, he did. There it is. Oh, wow. Knowing that he was gonna get, just sat down, spotted. Yeah, given the train lookers, just something to talk about. Let's go to the next one. Squonk. Oh, gosh. This is, it seems like a squonk creature. This is a hairless, it looks like a walking duodenum. I have a quote. It's crying. You have a quote from the squonk? From the 1910 book in which the squonk was first reported, fearsome creatures of the lumber woods. Oh, lumber woods. That's a clue. A lot of clear cutting. Squonk is of a very retiring disposition, generally traveling about at twilight and dusk. Because of its misfitting skin, which is covered with warts and moles, it's always unhappy. Hunters who are good at tracking are able to follow a squonk by its tear-stained trail, for the animal weeps constantly. This is sad. When cornered, an escape seems impossible, or when surprised and frightened, it may even dissolve itself in tears. It's a crying pile of flesh. I believed you every word until you got to the crying tears, you know. Follow it by its tears. That seems really unbelievable. The squonk is, where were they doing some lumber action? Colorado. They do, there's timber in Colorado, for sure. That's what I was thinking too. We're really on the same page here. Let's move on to the beast of Busco. Busco. That's a snapping turtle. Yeah, that is a snapping, alligator snapping turtle. In 1898, a farmer named Oscar Folk claimed to have seen a giant car-sized snapping turtle living in the seven-acre lake on his farm. The story gained national attention when more sightings were reported around 1949. The month-long monster hunt that ensued was ultimately fruitless, meaning the beast of Busco is still on the loose to this day. Yeah, it can totally still be alive. Back in the day where you could get people to talk about you for a month in the papers because you said you had a big turtle in your pond. So, yep. Don't you wish you could go back to those days? Where are you thinking? Because I know where this is. Kentucky. You saw me point at it? I was thinking it as well. See? We know where these things are from. Busco, Kentucky. Fits perfectly, too. That's how we know. And finally, we have the slide rock bolter. A massive, whale-like, mountain-dwelling creature whose story we've inherited from lumberjacks of the 19th and 20th century, it would use its hooked tail to latch itself to a mountain, waiting patiently until it spotted food, aka people or animals, then release its grip and careen down the mountain, swallowing everything in its path. Like an animal version of an avalanche? Oh, man, now this feels like Colorado. I know, now that feels like Colorado. I think we might need to switch Colorado and Georgia. I think Squonk's Georgia. We gotta switch Colorado over here. We're second-guessing ourselves, but for good reason. This could've thrown the whole thing off. I'm just thinking Squonk is kind of swampy. Well, he's... I mean, there's no cover in South Dakota. There's not, there's nary a tree there, right? I guess it's Georgia? I don't know. You gotta have a good amount of woods for legends to form. Locking in 100% right. My favorite is definitely the Pope Licker. I mean, that is a cool photo. It's very realistic. All the other ones, they're not realistic, except for the one that's completely real. Tell us how right we are. Well, you almost had a queen sweep of being completely wrong. Oh! Really? But the Mountain Dwelling gave you the answer for Slide Rock Bolter being Colorado, so you have that one correct. That's the only one we've got right? Okay, okay, okay, okay. So switcheroo, switcheroo, let's do this. Busco goes to Georgia. You feel that? Yeah. Snappin' turtles, I mean, I've seen him in Georgia. Where's the turtle? Oh, there you go. Where we got this... What did I lose? Pennsylvania is the pig man. Northfield, Pennsylvania, that is correct. Definitely. Oops, sorry. You didn't let go. I'm so afraid of these monsters, I can't keep a good grip on them. And then where does that leave us with the Pope Licker? He's not Vermont. The Pope Licker's gotta be... Well, he's in some brush. South Dakota? Yeah, I think so. That'd be weird, wouldn't it? Yeah, that'd be cool. Just weird enough. And we gotta change the squonk or something. Squonk. Maybe we go back to Kentucky. A lot of weird stuff in Kentucky. Yeah, a lot of weird stuff. And tell us that now we have a queen sweep. Now you have a queen sweep, of all being wrong. Okay, what is it? Northfield pig man, where's Northfield? Okay, pig man is from Vermont. Yeah. Okay, whatever. Pope Lick is from Kentucky. Oh. Really? There's Catholics in Kentucky? Not anymore. Squonk is from Pennsylvania. Oh. And the Beast is from Indiana. The Beast of Busco is from Indiana. Now you can get yourself, I totally believe this one, like a car-sized, cars used to be smaller. Right. And alligator snapping turtles used to be bigger. So this totally adds up. Yep. But, you know, a lot of these things start from just some sort of creature that's a known creature or a soon-to-be-known creature, but like maybe one of them had mange or was hairless. Right, but Slide Rock Bolter, how does that get started? Avalanche, it's just a legend. It hooks itself and then it, avalanche. It's just an avalanche. It's just. Soft. People make it up ghost stories, you know, when they didn't have phones, they'd sit around the campfire and they'd make up stories. They didn't all have cameras. They couldn't just film Bigfoot from a train. I mean, I would love to know I could go into the, I just wish I could believe in Bigfoot. I wish I could believe that I could go into a deeply unaccessible wood and have a Bigfoot encounter. I just can't believe it. If you believe hard enough, you can start believing it. Okay, Disney. You just have to believe really hard. Okay. I mean, I would not wanna meet that though. That would be a lot scarier than a Bigfoot. But you're not a pope. Right. Don't lick me. What's the news today? What's the news? Put it on the bananas. Send the bananas to the homes. Banana news. I think they can make. Banana news. We just came up with banana news.
