GMMore 2491: 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 going to have to take the states and match them to the monster. – It’s going to take us a long time to get there because this list is going to be really long. We’re so good at this. – Yeah, man. – Candy, you can get at the movie theater. – Candy you can get, Milk Duds. – Junior Mints, – Raisinets. – M&Ms. – Gummy rings. – Peanut M&Ms – Butter. – Yeah. – Those cookie. – Cookie Dough Bites? – Cookie Dough Bites. Cookie butter dough bites. – Sour Patch Kids. – Extreme Sour Patch Kids. – Reese’s 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 point you can. – At the right theater? – Yeah. – All right. Well, then what about popcorn? – Not a candy! You lose! – With candy in it. – Too late. – [Stevie] I have recently discovered at both a Regal Theater and at an AMC theater, that the same, but no lack of Raisinets. – Lack of Raisinets? There’s a Raisinet shortage. Yeah. – [Stevie] They’ve left. No, I don’t know what happened. – They ran out of nets. – [Stevie] That was my movie candy of choice because it pairs so well with popcorn and it no longer – Pairs so well with popcorn. – [Stevie] Exists. – Wow. So you were getting you were the person getting the Raisinets. The reason they discontinued them is because you didn’t, you weren’t vocal enough. – [Stevie] 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 SweetTart Rope. Those things are pretty irresistible if you’ve had it, you know. – You just said you’re anti candy, and then said, you love SweetTart Rope, which is like the candiest candy of candy. – Yeah, but other than that. – But here’s, – Nothing’s going to get me off the wagon. – Does Lando eat candy? Because the perfect thing to do is to get popcorn. – They’ll eat candy. – [Stevie] That’s what I’m saying, that’s why Raisinets are so good. – Shepherd gets most of the time. Shepard gets peanut M&Ms which also go well with popcorn. – [Stevie] That’s the secondary. – So, I’m popcorn 90% then. I’m like, Sho, and I just hold my hand out and he places them in there. – And this is to, this is to go on like the savory, salty, sweet circle. Is that what it does? – [Stevie] Yeah. – Okay. Yeah. – But you don’t even get popcorn at the movie. – I will get popcorn. – Oh, you 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. – If you go to an AMC. – And I haven’t eaten dinner, I’ll eat the whole bucket of popcorn. – I mean, there’s, like, 7 trailers on average. 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. Because 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. – [Stevie] Do you want to know? Do you want to know about. – Oh, you know about. – The Pigman. – Well, yeah, he’s been captured. – [Stevie] He was first sighted. The creature was first sight 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 story begins 20 years earlier, 1951, the night before Halloween, local teen Sam Harris set out with mischief on his mind. – Famous atheist. – He found Pigman. – [Stevie] 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 pig man? – You see, 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, that’s what 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. – Yeah, it was. I regret it. – 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. – And look, it fits perfectly in there. Look, it fits perfectly, So it’s got to be right. – Okay. Let’s bring in the next. – Now, before we bring in the next one. Or let’s bring in the next one just to see and then I’m going to tell you about something and I think it’s gonna fascinate you. I don’t want to overpromise and under-deliver. – I want to bring this one in because it’s an actual photo of the thing. – But one of my favorite things. – 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 missed. 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 silver whatever. The Silverton Colorado train, the people were on that train and there’s, can you, 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, you know, 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. – And 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’ve got to 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. – [Stevie] I’m not seeing anything in the description about licking the pope. Unfortunately. – Right, but this is a demonic character. – [Stevie] It says it’s unclear whether this creature possesses satanic powers, attacks its victims with a blood stained 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 rail road trestle bridge. it lives under. – Railroad trestle bridge. – So I’m still, I still feel like. – That is a cool freaking looking monster. – The religious context. – He’s got some Narnia vibes, right? – Yeah. It’s a little bit of, what’s the first guy they run into? shore foot? What’s his name? I don’t know. The guy that they run in Narnia. – Again we’re not in the South. – I think Vermont Or Pennsylvania. – You know, I was thinking, yeah, I agree. – Vermont gets some crazy stuff, man. They’ve got all the 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 Link 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. When you see him move. – So he’s like in the brush. – Here you go. He sits down, so. – The 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. No, more still shots and more text. – Durango and Silverton. – Then on the train we had to take that train to get to the. – But hikers go there all the time. – [Stevie] I saw it on TikTok it really is like. A guy in a suit. – [Stevie] 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 think that the couple that was on a romantic getaway, they set it up with, like, a friend. You’re going to be there. We’re going to 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. – You see, he’s just sitting there chilling. But like accessing that part. I mean, it’s hard to access that part over there. – Yeah, but some hiker did it. – Yeah, he, there is. – Oh, wow. Knowing that he was going to get, he just sat down. Spotted. Yeah. Giving the train lookers just something to talk about. Let’s go to the next one. Squonk. – Oh, gosh, this seems like a swamp creature. – This is a hairless. It looks like a walking duodenum. – [Stevie] I have a quote. – It’s crying. – You have a quote from the Squonk? – [Stevie] From the 1910 book in which the Squonk was first reported. Fearsome Creatures of The Lumber Woods. – Lumber Woods. That’s a clue. – A lot of clear cutting. – The 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 tears stained trail, for the animal weeps constantly. When cornered and 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 just seems – A Squonk is where were they doing? Some lumber action. – Colorado. They do, they’re in this. 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. – That’s a snapping turtle. – Yeah, that is a snapping alligator snapping turtle. – [Stevie] In an 1898, a farmer named Oscar Fulk 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. – 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. – [Stevie] A massive whale like mountain dwelling creature whose story we’ve inherited from lumberjacks of the 19th and 20th century. It would use its hook tail to latch itself to a mountain, waiting patiently until it spotted food, a.k.a. 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. – Now that feels like. – I think we might need to switch Colorado and Georgia. I think swamps Georgia. You got to switch Colorado over here. We’re second guessing ourselves, but for good reason. – This could have thrown the whole thing off. I’m just thinking the Squonk is kind of swampy. – Well, he’s. – There’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 got to 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. – [Stevie] Well, you almost had a queen’s sweep. of being completely wrong. – Really? – [Stevie] But the mountain dwelling gave you the answer for Slide Rock Boulter 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. – Snapping turtles. I mean, I’ve seen him in Georgia. Where’s the turtle? Where we got this? – What did I lose? – Pennsylvania is the Pigman. – Northfield, Pennsylvania. That is correct. – Definitely. – 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 has got to be. – Well, he’s in some brush. South Dakota? That’d be weird. Wouldn’t it? It’s be just weird enough and we got to change the Squonk to 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’s sweep. – [Stevie] Now you got the queen’s sweep of all being wrong. – Okay, what is it? – Northfield Pigman. – [Stevie] Okay, Pigman is from Vermont. – Yeah, whatever. – [Stevie] Pope Lick is from Kentucky. – Really? – There’s Catholics in Kentucky? – Not anymore. – [Stevie] Squonk is from Pennsylvania. 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. And alligator snapping turtles used to be bigger. So this totally adds up. 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, 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. Solved. – People making up ghost stories. You know, when they didn’t have phones, they’d sit around the campfire, they’d make up stories. – They didn’t have cameras. They couldn’t just film Bigfoot from a train. – I mean, I would love to know if I could go into. 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 want to meet that, though. That would be a lot scarier than a Bigfoot. Yeah, but you’re not a Pope. – Right. Don’t lick me.
