GMMore 2831: Can We Name These Digimon?

Welcome to Good Mythical More. Bare with us. We are about to receive an education in Digimon ’cause we don’t know nothing about that man. But bare with us. Before that we’re gonna tell a 10 word birthday story! Little. Link. Loved. His. Mommy. When. She. Gave. Credits. During. Pinball. Birth. I wanted to make it a birthday story. What did we just say? Little link loved his mummy when she gave credits during pinball birth. Yep. My mom gave birth. Gave birth the pinballs and a pinball machine. Two pinballs came out before Link. They’re his twins. He keeps him in his pocket. Yeah. I’m still an only child, but in a certain way I don’t feel as alone. What are those two pinballs in your pocket? Oh, my mom gave birth to them before she gave birth to me. I’m a triplet. They’re my siblings. I won the game. Uh, so I get to suck on this. Uh, I’ve been told this will not just a runneth over because it’s like a straw. I’m jealous. I’m not. Give you a can. Can you give us some background about Digimon while he is doing this? Sure. Like, do you want, you, don’t you wanna save your birthday gifts? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Um, Digimon is a Japanese media franchise that began in 1997 as a series of digital pets that were supposed to be the masculine counterpart to Tamagotchi, which I– Tamagotchis were feminine? I. That’s, uh, sure. Uh, it, it soon expanded to video games. I, I, I don’t know how to stop it. I try to just– Just keep drinking. I try to– Just keep drinking, keep drinking. I mean, keep drinking. It’s just water. It’s peanut butter flavored water. Keep drinking, blow. Maybe just blow gently, gently blow. It is my birthday. Come on. I can’t talk because it’s in my mouth. Come on. I was jealous until this happened and now I’m, I’m, I’m pretty, pretty pleased. Okay. I gotta figure it out. I’ll just put my thumb on it. Um, anyway. Uh, yeah, I’m drinking birthday water. So Digimon is a– Continue. As a, is the boy’s version of Polly Pocket? No. Tamagotchi. Tamagotchi. Polly Pocket, I do believe was intended to be a feminine. Yeah. Uh, toy. Yeah. Uh, soon after, expanded to video games and TV series now includes virtual pet toys. Virtual pet toys. Yeah. Anime films, video games, and trading cards. The franchise focuses on digimon, digital monsters that inhabit the digital world. A parallel universe made from the Earth’s communication networks. Most digimon stories begin with a human child who comes into contact with a digimon, either by accidentally entering the digital world or encountering a digimon who has entered the human world. Um, I don’t believe in it. It’s not a religion, it’s just a toy. I think if I put this in back into the, into one of the, in inside, inside there, and then it. Bless you, bless you. Then it becomes a perpetual motion machine. Okay. Also Digimon Pokemon. I mean, come on. Uh, but. Digimon, Pokemon, come on, everybody. They’re different, but they’re different. They certainly merge. Well, Pokemon are like animals with superpowers. Digimon are created from data and live in a virtual universe. Okay, but that’s true. And oh, I guess it’s darker and it’s intended for a slightly older. Dude. All right. So maybe there’s some blood. Let’s see, the first one. Yeah, so can you name– Oh yeah, he’s darker. Can guess their names? He’s Buckle boy. This guy is his buckle bear. Is his left arm fastened into his left knee? No. He’s just got so many buckles. He has as many buckles on at that right hand as he has on his left hand. He’s a buckle bear. Everybody knows about him. And he’s, his hat says bears. Oh, he loves himself. Um, if I was a buckle bear, I’d, I’d flaunt it. Um, you said it wasn’t based on animals, but he’s a bear. Yeah, he seems to be an animal. I don’t see anything digital about this guy. I mean, those buttons are as analog as you get. They’re buckles. Yep. I called ’em buttons, but who cares? Right. Um, he’s got pink whiskers, I think his name is. Burke, the buckle bear. There we go. We’re all over it. Berkshire. Berkshire, the buckle bear. Burke for short. His name is Bearmon. Bearmon. Bearmon. Like Digmon. Bearmon? Yeah. Oh, okay. Okay. So that’s how it works. Let’s see the next one. Because now, but it says, now we know that it says, um, Bearmon has the ability for close combat hidden within its body. And it’s very strong to the point that it has bound its fists and leather belts so that it, its special punches won’t hurt itself. Okay. Well, he’s bound himself with a leather belt, so it, I don’t think this is a good technique for sure. I don’t think he, yeah, the claws are out, you know. Okay. Here’s that one. Oh, doggy. Doggymon. This is Pluto on acid. Dogman. Yeah. Really? Dogman. Yeah. I hate this. And if you, and if you like it, I hate you. Because its body is very soft and strong and can expand and contract like rubber. It completely absorbs every attack, although its appearance, gives off the impression that it’s, that it is very dangerous. Yeah. It is a harmless digimon with no malice or aggression. Oh, that’s good to hear. Now also a big problem that I notice. Anyone who gives off a perfectly circular shadow should not be trusted. Yeah, that’s so true. Like no matter what they do, it is just a circle. You’re like, that’s a demon. I think he– That’s a demon. Or is it just a hole? I think it’s a hole. He’s about to fall through a hole. Okay. Maybe he jumped outta that hole. Link. I got you something. Not just, you could take a sip outta this if you want. That’s a perpetual peanut butter machine. Nah. Yeah, I don’t, I don’t actually think I want the watered down peanut butter. I got you a basket of your favorite things. Oh, thank you. It looks, don’t you? Open it up. It looks a little sparse. Well, you’re a little bit hard to please. You know, you don’t have many favorite things. I think I do. You got me a record. Oh, you have so many records already. Lemme get rid of this crap. Uh, well first of all, I can tell that this right here is, um. Cake batter. So I’m supposed to make my own cake. Uh oh. It’s dog treats. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You are what you treat. This is to make your dogs like you even more. Okay. No, it’s for Link. He likes how dog food taste. Oh yeah. You like it’s good for you. You like dog treats. And you can also give ’em to your dogs. You can, you can share ’em with your dogs and yourself. Okay? All right. And your two little triplet balls in your pocket, that your mom gave birth to that pinball machine. So these are vegan, they’re small bats. They have New England peanut butter. And then they have bananas grown on US farms, handmade in Boston. You know, I’ve thought a lot about your birth story and the, the pinballs that your mother gave birth to, and it hit me the other night as I was thinking about this deeply that I actually don’t know if she gave birth to two pinballs. I think that she may have eaten two pinballs before she gave birth, and she’d poop those two out and then tried to pass them off as your brother and sister. Oh, She, I’m sorry. I’m sorry to break the news to you on your birthday. You’re saying she passed My brother and sister. Yeah. I mean, that happens. That happens when people are giving birth. Sometimes they’ll, they’ll poop out stuff that’s in there. This is good, by the way. There’s two pinballs. Man, I feel weird naming them and carrying around for all these years. Oh, right. Oh. I also got a $10, $40 Mythical gift card. To the store. Yeah. Anything you want. So I can buy the stuff that I technically own? Yeah. Yeah. That I’m trying to sell to other people. Yes. Get high on my own supply. Yes. Now you’re talking. Did you like, did you like it? No. And uh, hold on, but there’s more. No, there’s not. The bubble wrap. Oh, the bubble wrap. Well, you know, I how much I love. Yes. I knew he love that. I’ll do more of that later and I’ll think about you. Thanks Rhett. Okay, so we, how about this one? Bearmon. We’ve got dogmon, and now we’ve got. Shoemon. Yep. Really? Yep. This is Shoemon. It’s a puppet digimon that wears the leather of shoes and the skin of plush choice. That’s…. Sweet fruits are its favorite food and when the sole of its shoe opens like jaws, it heartily bites into and eats fruits along with their tough skins. So it’s, it’s a food processor. It, it’s wearing the face of an, of a stuffed animal. Yeah. Wow, this thing is demented. I like it. So, any fans? Any fans in here that were into this, who’s raising their hand back there? Julian. Julian is quietly announcing a fandom. Maggie, you’re a fan of the theme song. Yeah. I get it. Gets real stuck in your head. Okay, but you don’t actually like the show? I haven’t watched it. My brother watched it. Oh, okay. ’cause it’s for boys. Your brother’s thing. Alright, let’s see another. I, I think we can get all these right. Oh, Boarman. Yes. Yes. He’s on fire. No, I do like this one. Its legs, tail, and main are shrouded in blazing flames. No one can stop this digimon from dashing. And according to one theory, it’s said that the program that governs its thinking has no concept of turning. Of turning. So it just goes straight line. No concept of turning in quotes, turning. Well, I think it’d be easy to, to evade. Yeah. Just, just lateral movement. Yeah. He’s gonna go on a straight line forever. So this is not an animal, this is a digital monster that which is denoted by that metal plate on his, uh, nose bridge. It’s also the, the art styles of all of these– Don’t match. Don’t match. Yeah. Okay. Let’s see another. Ooh. Jokermon. Yes. Jokermon. Yeah. Is that it? Yes. Mysterious and elusive demon man Digimon suddenly appears on the battlefield, bringing down digimon that are key to the tide of the battle with a blow from their blind spot. Deciding the outcome of the battle, said, if this digman allies with you, then victory draws near. This is IP infringement at this point, because that’s the joker. I think so. Yeah. Well, the hat’s a little different. It’s more like a, um. Yeah, but if you call it jokermon, and he’s dressed in purple and green and he’s a clown. It’s, it’s. It’s all based on like a jester type. A jester, yeah. But Jesters didn’t necessarily dress just like the Joker did they? Uh, maybe. All the adjusters I know did. The jester hat is, is a little. Okay. Look at that sithe. You’re doing so well and I have no idea how. Here’s the next one. Oh, mummymon. Mummymon. Correct. Yes. And undead digimon whose body is wrapped in bandages. It’s also known as the necromancer due to its summoning and manipulation of the reluctant souls residual data of an annihilated digimon. Oh, this is darker. It doesn’t quite make sense. But there’s more buckles. I like those. Oh, you like them Belts. Belts are holding them together and there’s some Christmas candy canes up there at the top, so you can lick on one lick on the other. The hydraulics are nice, springs, maybe not hydraulics, they’re just more spring action. I do like the fact that because he’s a mummy, he can’t stand on his own, so. He’s got these like different aids. Very realistic. Yeah, very realistic is what I was thinking. We like this one. This is our favorite. The first one that we like. Yeah. Great. How about this one? Oh, come on. Oh, no. Now we might need to confer ’cause we need to have queen sweep on this thing. Is that a, I think it’s a scarecrow. Yeah. Scarecrow. Scarecrowmon Scare. Scaremon. Okay. Oh no, it’s just ghostmon. I don’t think it’s a ghost. Yeah, look at the bottom. It’s just trails off into nothing. It’s a goblin. No goblins don’t have a vapor trail. Oh. Ghosts have a vapor trail. It’s a ghostmon. Ghostmon. Correct. Oh. Uh, he’s often witnessed flying over graveyards. Mm-hmm. And, um, that’s where he came from. He’s kind hearted. He, he helps those in need without being noticed by them, by becoming invisible. He looks like a kind, kind soul. Also has another buckle. Yep. Yeah, there’s a buckle. They’ll stick a buckle in these. It’s a, it’s a motif for the digimon. How does belt one, how does one come to love buckles? When you need a lot of cinching. All right. Let’s see if we can redeem ourselves. Oh, this is gonna be tough. This is like, look at his hammer. Well, he’s, he’s a– His hammer is like a six shooter. He’s spindle, he’s gun. If this is gunman, he’s a gun. He’s a gun, but he’s got wood on his back and he’s got blood. Oh, no, he’s a puppet. He’s a puppet and a gun. Oh, yes. He’s a, he’s a puppet gunmon. I don’t think he’s a gun. I think he’s holding a gun, but he’s just a, it’s just a puppetmon. But what kind of puppet is a marionette? Is it marionettemon? And you’re on the right track about being more specific. Pinocchiomon. Yeah. No. Yes. No. Because ’cause it’s, free domain. This might be IP infringement. They don’t give a crap about anybody else’s IP. Pinocchio is a public domain. Yeah, he is now? It’s, it’s a legend of some sort. He was in the Odyssey. Did you know that? No. Yeah. He, he, he, um, when the, um, uh, the, what are the, the, the girls who were calling him to the shore? The sirens? Oh, I’m so sorry. The sirens. Its pinocimon. His nose, got big when he– And, and, and I’m, and I, will apologize to the day I die about saying it was Pinocchiomon. Pinocchimon. Pinocchimon. Okay, but why does he have basically bullets? He has whatever you call that thing that he put into a gun. He is not a nice guy. Mm-hmm. Um, because he frequently tells lies. I think when he hits, hits something with that. It blows up. It, it explodes like a bullet would. Pretty cool. He hits it on the ground. And you can do that actually. Okay, just grab, just grab him by his strings. And he’s helpless. I feel as if you’re, you’ve redeemed from ghost. Okay, good. So there’s only a couple more. See. Blimpmon. What did you say? Blunt? I said blimpmon. Blunt. Blunt. Bluntmon, what? Blimpmon. Blimpmon. Yeah. It’s a vehicle. Digimon. Uh, it flies in the skies without a care in the world. Oh gosh. Although it’s delicate balloon portion is protected by a metallic coating. It seems to still be under construction as its left flank is left exposed. Interesting. Oh, they want to finish it, but they haven’t. Interesting. The world. So it is a little vulner world, a little vulnerable, but you got, you’re that vulnerable and you got all these cannons hanging out of you. But not one buckle. I, I think he’s got a few cares. I’m just saying someone like that with that type of setup, he’s not free of cares. They’re floating in the air, they’re vulnerable. Okay, but we got it. There’s a bunch of opportunities for buckles on there. This last one, I dare say, is the hardest one. Oh, what is that? So the, it, it looks like one of those sea creatures that like, when you– Bless you. When you squeeze it, it, it pops out. But it’s got a horn, like a, like a ramp, like. Urchinmon. I mean, it could be, I think it’s a c– What if it’s just a, oh no, it’s just a sheep. It’s just a, it’s a sheep. It’s just a sheep. It’s a sheep. In a blanket. In a blanket. Is it sushi sheep? No. If you think about this, that’s the wool popping out and it’s the sheep head. That’s the way the wool goes around. And the, it’s tucked in and it’s sleeping. Sleeping sheepmon. But maybe it’s Ramon because it’s ram. Lambmon. It looks like lamb mon. Lemonade. She sheepman. Sheepmon. I’m sorry to say you’re on the right, the wrong track right now. Sushi man. It’s not at the animal. Mm. Well, is it just a pillow? Mm-hmm. Pillowmon? Yeah. Pillowmon. Pillowmon. It’s always floating about while sleeping. Although one will fall into a pleasant sleep by snuggling up with this digimon, the digimon will feed on the resulting dreams. Oh, I do think that it is a sheep inside of a pillow. I am going to say that. Yeah. Yeah, it is. That is a ram horn. So that is, we’ve been right even when we weren’t right. Right. We’ve been right the whole time. This whole time. Remember, a new episode of Good Mythical Weekend is coming your way tomorrow morning. Be sure to tune in. This is called Nori. It’s seaweed. It’s from the ocean. Do you wanna taste it? No, thank you. And honestly, boundaries. Very respectful. Respect your own boundaries. That’s beautiful. Respectful yourself and respectful to me, and I love that. That’s really good.
