Speaker 2: probably clone.
Speaker 1: So if you're feeling all alone, crack a beer and
Speaker 1: get stone.
Speaker 4: Welcome you to the.
Speaker 1: Podcast Strange Brew. We're here to entertain you.
Speaker 3: We're entertain you.
Speaker 2: Get Strange.
Speaker 5: Welcome everybody you the show. Welcome, Welcome out there, everybody.
Speaker 5: I am one of your hosts, Tom kat aka Tom
Speaker 5: Thompson and who am I?
Speaker 3: Joined by what's up?
Speaker 1: Everybody? I'm whispering so the plants.
Speaker 3: Can't hear me?
Speaker 1: Then tied you what's going on? Everybody? Also, remember people
Speaker 1: in uh in order to fight back against the plants,
Speaker 1: there's only one one remedy smoke them.
Speaker 3: Yes, I have my delicious alien o G.
Speaker 5: I was debating on like a bong hit and I
Speaker 5: was like, I don't know if I want to full
Speaker 5: blown take a bong fit like you, you seem as
Speaker 5: I get older and I and I've said this before
Speaker 5: obviously if you're a new listener, I'm a huge fan
Speaker 5: of psychedelics. I actually took four gram te not before this,
Speaker 5: but a couple hours ago, so I'm kind of how
Speaker 5: uh at the beginning, I thought I was dying. It
Speaker 5: seems like you look jolly, do I yeah, I'm very
Speaker 5: I'm very, very in a good mood. It always resets,
Speaker 5: and even like at the beginning, I hate the first
Speaker 5: little bit. And I was hungover, which is like not
Speaker 5: too hung over, but I drank a little too much
Speaker 5: last night after we we went we live streamed a
Speaker 5: puppet Master and that will be going up on Patreon.
Speaker 3: Everybody a lot of fun.
Speaker 5: And then I late, I was, yeah, that was pretty late,
Speaker 5: and then I went and I will I finished puppet
Speaker 5: Master too when I went downstairs and drank and and uh,
Speaker 5: what a little overboard. So I feel like it's always
Speaker 5: sketchy to me to to do mushrooms and then have
Speaker 5: to is to do mushrooms and then to essentially like
Speaker 5: if you're drinking and like messing with mushrooms, I'll call
Speaker 5: on mushrooms.
Speaker 3: I feel like it's a bad mix.
Speaker 5: But at the beginning, like my heart felt weird and
Speaker 5: I was like, and I think it was just my
Speaker 5: mind right, because the way it goes through your nervous system,
Speaker 5: and I was like, what would happen if I just
Speaker 5: like died here. I'm just gonna die here, And Charlie
Speaker 5: was like sleeping above my head. And then it always
Speaker 5: wants to teach you something, right, there's always a lesson
Speaker 5: whenever you're using psychedelics, especially if if there's at a
Speaker 5: time like there's been a time I've told you about
Speaker 5: where I'm like, you know and I I'm like, you're not,
Speaker 5: it's not that strong. And I went and took more
Speaker 5: microdos pills on top of the dose I did, and
Speaker 5: then it kicked my ass.
Speaker 1: It was like, oh, we're having the death trip. Eh.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was fucking but I've done that before where
Speaker 5: you like, it's happened to me before, where you're like,
Speaker 5: you get concerned about your body and like the your
Speaker 5: health and stuff like that during the trip and then
Speaker 5: you come out of it, and I felt great.
Speaker 1: You always want to be aware of your body.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the plants always want to teach you something and
Speaker 5: and like or the fun guy. But like plants to
Speaker 5: plant medicine in general, it's there to teach us.
Speaker 1: I don't know, some of the plants that we're about
Speaker 1: to talk about today don't seem to want to teach anybody.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they want to kill them. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well maybe that's you know, maybe we're part of the problem.
Speaker 5: Maybe human beings are part of the problem.
Speaker 1: Duh.
Speaker 5: I'm surrounded for all the audiences, I'm surrounded by plant life,
Speaker 5: some some live and some dead. This is a real plant.
Speaker 5: Else's mom brought this back to life. She had it
Speaker 5: like years ago and we and left it with her
Speaker 5: mom and it was tiny and it's brought back to life.
Speaker 5: It is crazy that things like you can use natural
Speaker 5: stuff to like bring the plants back living.
Speaker 3: It's cool because that's why they actually can gauge.
Speaker 5: If you talk to your plants and you feed them
Speaker 5: good energy, that they will survive longer and live longer.
Speaker 3: That is like a theory, the Baxter theory. It's I
Speaker 3: believe it.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 5: Energy is drow And that's why I want to get
Speaker 5: in this thing. Before we get in this talk, is.
Speaker 1: Have you played a plantasia for your plants or are
Speaker 1: you a poser?
Speaker 3: What the fuck is? Is there a thing called plant Asia?
Speaker 3: Are you fucking serious? Oh, I've heard of that.
Speaker 1: It's music for plants. Yeah, of course everyone's heard of it.
Speaker 1: I feel well, is that a mean good? But it's fun.
Speaker 3: I like it. I would check it out, honestly.
Speaker 1: It's such a vibe. We were sitting there at my
Speaker 1: buddy's house just getting super stone and I was like,
Speaker 1: you'll put on Plantasia and it was a good time.
Speaker 5: Sounds fucking I've definitely heard of it because all these
Speaker 5: like like stuff like Spongle and those weird like psychedelic
Speaker 5: kind of musics for just like chilling out and like
Speaker 5: listening to the sounds. But I'm sure people have had
Speaker 5: this theory before. But I want to mention on an episode,
Speaker 5: and this is a good one. Is every time I'm
Speaker 5: like tripping and I go outside, there's like a tree outside, right.
Speaker 5: And I've known people have said this before, but essentially,
Speaker 5: when using psilocybin, instead of people saying how it's connecting
Speaker 5: you to outside of this reality and things that exist
Speaker 5: outside of our reality, I think that I might lock
Speaker 5: you in a little more of plant consciousness.
Speaker 3: It.
Speaker 5: I one hundred percent believe that when you're on psychedelics,
Speaker 5: because I said, this is Chelsea. The fungus is inside
Speaker 5: the soil and gives life. It eats dead things and
Speaker 5: then gives life to new things essentially, right, So you're
Speaker 5: taking in that and you're able to like resonate with
Speaker 5: the frequency of the plants. Because there's this tree out
Speaker 5: back and every time I'm tripping out, it seems to
Speaker 5: like wave at me. I can see it's branches almost
Speaker 5: like a hand. It's every time and it waves at
Speaker 5: me and like it to me, and I'm in nature.
Speaker 5: I feel like the plant life is aware that I'm
Speaker 5: on the same kind of conscious level as they are.
Speaker 1: I mean, that might just be us projecting shit, but
Speaker 1: I have the same thing with animals on acid. See
Speaker 1: it's like, I mean, deer, especially if you run into
Speaker 1: a deer, they just look at you like, yeah, you're
Speaker 1: not a threat.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well, like I swear to God, dude, Like it feels
Speaker 5: like in like, you know, it could be a projection whatever,
Speaker 5: but I feel like you can resonate.
Speaker 3: People have talked about this. Paul Stammonds talked about this, and.
Speaker 5: I've heard about people like tripping like on high high
Speaker 5: doses and talking to trees and figure out like how
Speaker 5: old the tree.
Speaker 3: Is, how long it has existed.
Speaker 5: They're all this stuff like and memories of like are
Speaker 5: surrounding that tree. That's like, it's crazy because the use
Speaker 5: of psychedelicsis mind blowing and a lot of times you've
Speaker 5: said it were it's kind of for you when you're
Speaker 5: on those trips.
Speaker 3: It's for you.
Speaker 1: It's absolutely hyper individualized in my opinion. Obviously, I'm by
Speaker 1: no mean it's a fucking expert. I'm just a person
Speaker 1: who's tripped.
Speaker 3: I will.
Speaker 1: I will too many times.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I will become an expert after this. I will
Speaker 5: be There will be one day where I become fungus.
Speaker 5: Like you know, it's gonna happen. We're all gonna become fungus.
Speaker 5: But the thing is, like we all will. It will
Speaker 5: change eventually. One day when I come on the podcast,
Speaker 5: I'll have like that that fucking head in uh in
Speaker 5: the Last of Us.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Okay.
Speaker 1: I thought you were speaking, like, you know, metaphorically, like
Speaker 1: one day I'll become fungus because I'll be eaten by fungus.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, we're lucky they don't pump us full
Speaker 1: of fucking form aldehyde.
Speaker 3: And I don't want that. I want to just like
Speaker 3: I told Chelsea, make me a tree. Make me a tree.
Speaker 1: You know how expensive that is and how in some
Speaker 1: areas that you can't do it. Well, it's very disappointing
Speaker 1: to me. It's saying getting composted.
Speaker 5: I'm like, yeah, if it's my property, right and and
Speaker 5: can I not just be like bury me in the backyard.
Speaker 1: That's nope, that's your local laws and ordinances and ship.
Speaker 1: You gotta check all your ship because something illegal other places,
Speaker 1: it's probably fine.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna ask.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go to my community, like if you can
Speaker 5: bury people, because there's literally a graveyard, like a fuck.
Speaker 1: It's a desertated zoned area. That's the thing is that
Speaker 1: you're you're talking about you. I mean, I'm sure there
Speaker 1: are places you can get buried like naturally, but I
Speaker 1: don't know where they are, and I don't know how
Speaker 1: much it would be. I don't know nothing about your
Speaker 1: fake ass monopoly money. Son, throw me off. Why don't
Speaker 1: you get you some Murrican dollars?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's gonna collapse soon. So cryptozoology for the common folk.
Speaker 5: Has it made me laugh so hard? Fascinated humankind for
Speaker 5: thousands of years maybe hard? Yes, thousands of years, beginning
Speaker 5: at the early early as the fifteenth century BCE. While
Speaker 5: obviously media has glorized this field, glamorized the field, sorry,
Speaker 5: drawing pictures of wild eyed creature hunters chasing anomalous beasts
Speaker 5: into the night, Cryptozoology is just the study of the unknown,
Speaker 5: you know, the legendary or in like maybe the animals
Speaker 5: that are extinct, you know, whose survival are exting maybe
Speaker 5: is unknown?
Speaker 1: Right, So there's yeah, the animals that are reported to
Speaker 1: exist but they don't have any actual evidence of it.
Speaker 1: The animals that are reported to be extinct, which are
Speaker 1: found out later. So anything that's non traditional zoology, well
Speaker 1: like that that correct.
Speaker 3: I can't yeah, I can't remember that.
Speaker 5: There's that hyena creature that was like drink, oh this
Speaker 5: is you would actually really like this. It's a Dylan's
Speaker 5: a Gin cocktail. You would like to try it.
Speaker 1: I don't fuck with gin no more though.
Speaker 3: I love Gin, dude, I.
Speaker 1: Saw with my buds.
Speaker 3: I love gin. This is okay.
Speaker 5: This is tangerine, lemon and a hint of mint like
Speaker 5: it's fairly good. And I got another one BlackBerry lemon
Speaker 5: and a dash of elderflower, which there is a gin
Speaker 5: and I wish I knew the name of it, because
Speaker 5: eventually it'd be great to have sponsors one day, considering
Speaker 5: how much we've drank on the show over the period
Speaker 5: of fucking years. But essentially, it's like, there's this gin.
Speaker 5: It has elderflower in it, the best gin I've ever tried.
Speaker 5: If someone isn't a Gin fan, this will turn peace
Speaker 5: Bullet's fucking delicious.
Speaker 1: You know, every Gin fan says that it's literally the
Speaker 1: same thing with like any it was like, you have
Speaker 1: bother the right strain, you have tried the right whiskey.
Speaker 1: You don't even know, but it's like it's like, no,
Speaker 1: they probably do. They just like, no, there is people
Speaker 1: that like.
Speaker 5: It tastes delicious, But I was just gonna send me
Speaker 5: over the edge and then I'll fucking drink the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Ah, But even the finest whiskey tastes like gasoline and anger.
Speaker 5: I I agree, I agree, love whiskey, but but like
Speaker 5: some good scotch sipping on that ship, it's like getting Yeah,
Speaker 5: but reports of strange organisms don't stop at the animal
Speaker 5: variety entering crypto botany, crypto botany, never heard of it
Speaker 5: or some of the study of plant kryptis just like
Speaker 5: it's animal counterparts. This field of study folks on the
Speaker 5: bizarre plants of folklore and legend that have evaded scientific confirmation.
Speaker 3: So it's fucking weird.
Speaker 5: While there may be it may obviously they may be
Speaker 5: cap capped, it on, it may have been capped. I
Speaker 5: can't fucking say this word with the mushroom, fucking is
Speaker 5: coming in my brain again. But essentially capturing, capturing this
Speaker 5: stuff on camera footage, God got that out or blurry
Speaker 5: photos essentially as most times how we see it. But
Speaker 5: with these elusive plants, it's they you can't. It's hard
Speaker 5: to catch these things, so to speak. You know, you
Speaker 5: don't see like this plant like walking off. Yeah, it's
Speaker 5: fucking it's strange. Let's just get into the first one.
Speaker 5: The devil shnare. Snare, the devil snare. It's deadly but fun,
Speaker 5: but it will suck in the sun. While many while
Speaker 5: many other associate devil snares with many of those trials.
Speaker 5: Obviously this is regarding the Harry Potter films because this
Speaker 5: is literally the same.
Speaker 1: Thing devil snare. Yeah, when when I was.
Speaker 5: In the Philosopher's Stone, it's a terrifying Yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 5: a terrified plant has actually a longer and frightening more history,
Speaker 5: uh more frightening history than children's fantasies can cove convey.
Speaker 3: So that's pretty interesting.
Speaker 1: That.
Speaker 5: Like obviously, one witnessed report claimed to have encountered this
Speaker 5: deadly plant near Lake Nicaragua after hearing sounds of pain
Speaker 5: and terror from his dog. When he found the source,
Speaker 5: he discovered that the dog was entangled by a network
Speaker 5: of roots and fibers, fibers covered in thick adhesive gum.
Speaker 5: As the eye Winds struggled to cut his dog free,
Speaker 5: the plant actually fought back, wrapping its vines around his hands,
Speaker 5: leaving his flesh red and blistered.
Speaker 3: Isn't that frightening? Oh? Man?
Speaker 1: Like even if you just you stumble into this thing
Speaker 1: thinking nothing of it, like that's true, A bunch of
Speaker 1: roots whatever, it's crazy kind of like this. Oh no,
Speaker 1: I don't know that Audrey too. Is is Devil's scenarios
Speaker 1: the tentacles themselves, But I mean there's other killer plants
Speaker 1: that also technically have so like the.
Speaker 5: Idea of like this, something like a plant could essentially
Speaker 5: it protect itself right, That does happen in nature and
Speaker 5: actually attack back if it's being threatened to its food
Speaker 5: sources actually being cut off.
Speaker 1: Most plants have some method of protecting themselves. Either the
Speaker 1: leaves are too spiny for you know, large animals to eat,
Speaker 1: or the you know, the berries are poisonous, or they
Speaker 1: have like the intoxicating or hallucination or hallucinatory.
Speaker 3: Effect that is fucking frightening.
Speaker 5: Though so thankfully he managed to pull free his pup,
Speaker 5: although it was wounded with strange suction marks where the
Speaker 5: vines had made contact with the skin. After this ordeal,
Speaker 5: he asked locals about the plant and learned it was
Speaker 5: a well known and feared was well known in fear
Speaker 5: by the community. Another report from Africa in eighteen fifty
Speaker 5: two dubbed a similar plant the Vegetables, describing it as
Speaker 5: a spotted serpent that drags itself along the ground with
Speaker 5: sticky flowers on its head and a white and soft flesh.
Speaker 5: And then it also is fucking weird. It's filled with
Speaker 5: yellow morrow. I don't know what that is. Marrow, marrow
Speaker 5: oh weird.
Speaker 1: So that's when I was actually referencing when I said
Speaker 1: some of them have animalistic properties, because this one basically
Speaker 1: is just like a snake, independent root. It's just chilling along,
Speaker 1: and it doesn't have bones, it has cartilage. They're full
Speaker 1: of yellow marrow, and the apparently the the natives love
Speaker 1: to eat it.
Speaker 3: That creeps me out.
Speaker 5: That creeps me out, like, just I'm not I'm not
Speaker 5: frightened by snakes. I've caught used, I used to catch
Speaker 5: snakes all times I was a kid. But the idea
Speaker 5: of like some plant thing that has like has leaves
Speaker 5: on it and stuff like that, like some of these
Speaker 5: animals that make themselves look like nature and then attat
Speaker 5: is fucking kind of skill.
Speaker 1: Here's here's what I was thinking earlier with that, How
Speaker 1: do you disrupt the nervous system? How do you kill
Speaker 1: that immediately?
Speaker 3: To like the fungus, you gotta go for the fungus.
Speaker 1: Is that the fungus though, is the flower the central
Speaker 1: nervous system for that?
Speaker 5: Imagine that the brain is that the No imagine if
Speaker 5: a fucking fungus got so smart, like like artificial intelligence smart,
Speaker 5: because it already kind of is.
Speaker 1: And then I I don't know. I feel like fungus
Speaker 1: might actually be like I think it's smarter than intelligence
Speaker 1: on the planet.
Speaker 5: I think that it's the intelligence can't be can't be
Speaker 5: gauged at the our scope of what intelligence is as humans.
Speaker 5: But that thing is like fungus is crazy. The ship's
Speaker 5: like it's wild in general, which I'm gonna maybe one
Speaker 5: day look for fungus cryptids. I doubt that is the thing.
Speaker 5: This is close enough to it, though.
Speaker 1: Do you want to get into the moss moss ma'am uh.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make my usual joke, not gonna make.
Speaker 3: You know where this is from though, right uh?
Speaker 1: Rancor Yes, these games goes from rancor dot com.
Speaker 3: No, but you know where this is from?
Speaker 1: Is that from he Man? Right?
Speaker 3: Yes? This this creature.
Speaker 1: I can tell the fuzzy ass fucking thong.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, the the fucking tidy whiteye like with
Speaker 5: the belts with the yeah, with the fuzzy fuzzy like.
Speaker 5: I don't know how you're just underwear, I guess fucking weird.
Speaker 1: So roped off by tangled vines and roots, corralled by
Speaker 1: nine foot tall sawgrass, and guarded by unknowable murky depths
Speaker 1: Florida swamps could be hiding anything, gators, exotic pets, turned
Speaker 1: loose spiders that are clearly God's mistake, and of course,
Speaker 1: the Mossman. The tails of this seven foot tall bipedal
Speaker 1: humanoid made of moss and vegetation date as far back
Speaker 1: as the fifteen hundreds, when a young girl from the
Speaker 1: local tribe was captured, killed and beheaded, after which her
Speaker 1: attackers tied her head to a tree in the swamp.
Speaker 3: What the fuck right?
Speaker 1: How fuck does that?
Speaker 3: That's weird?
Speaker 1: It turned out to this guy it was just yeah.
Speaker 1: The tribes medicine man allegedly used his magic to call
Speaker 1: upon the spirits of the swamp to seek out vengeance,
Speaker 1: causing the girl's head to take a human form of weeds, branches,
Speaker 1: and other vegetation to hunt down her murders. So like
Speaker 1: a golam or a tulpa, but they're more like it
Speaker 1: in Ganga than a tulpa because like it's got some
Speaker 1: sort of human flesh bass to it, whereas a golam
Speaker 1: is uh clay. I believe everyone has the name of
Speaker 1: God put into his mouth.
Speaker 3: Can you do a God? Can you do that? I
Speaker 3: can't do it either, as my attempt.
Speaker 1: Other versions of the story claim the medicine Man created
Speaker 1: a golum of vegetation to keep away the pillaging spaniards.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, weird.
Speaker 1: Aside from his great height, the moss Man is said
Speaker 1: to have eyes that glow an amber or reddish hue,
Speaker 1: and possess a hypnotic quality, So either like I would say,
Speaker 1: like hypnotade where it's just like, you.
Speaker 3: Know, that's like the moth w.
Speaker 5: That's like moth Man though, because Mothman seems to have reddish,
Speaker 5: creepy eyes that like lure people in.
Speaker 1: Well, don't most predators have hypnotic gaze and the whole
Speaker 1: point like they can kind of like that's why snakes
Speaker 1: through the thing to like stop their prey where their
Speaker 1: prey is, like what the hell and then spam Yeah,
Speaker 1: like wait, but A siding in nineteen seventy eight firmly
Speaker 1: wove the moss Man into folklore when a couple strolling
Speaker 1: along a Boca Ratan beach along the Everglades reported seeing
Speaker 1: a humanoid figure made of moss, grass and leaves.
Speaker 5: Weird.
Speaker 1: They claimed he glared at them without with glowing red eyes.
Speaker 1: Prompting them to flee. When they returned later, the creature
Speaker 1: was gone and only bits of Spanish moss remained strewn
Speaker 1: about the beach. You've seen a Spanish moss, right, that's
Speaker 1: super pretty, like moss hanging down from the trees in
Speaker 1: like all like the Louisiana stuff, all the down South stuff.
Speaker 3: Oho, I have seen a spoo.
Speaker 1: If you see a big spooky tree with shit hanging
Speaker 1: down off the sides of it, You're like, Oh, that's Spanish.
Speaker 5: Does he have a does that have a thin mustache?
Speaker 5: I was like, I always want to make a Mexican joke,
Speaker 5: but I honestly don't know that much about the Spanish.
Speaker 5: Then that they conquered a lot of places and made
Speaker 5: people in the slaves at some point in time of
Speaker 5: our history. But like the place and what they're like
Speaker 5: known for is wine. Spain's not for wine, right.
Speaker 1: Is Spanya?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: I don't think it's Spain.
Speaker 5: I don't really know what what Spain is known for
Speaker 5: other than a bad economy, you know, and people just
Speaker 5: like to have a lot of time off because they
Speaker 5: have to drink their wine. That's what I know about Spain.
Speaker 5: All those countries like fucking Greece. They're all very similar
Speaker 5: and that they're like they want to have all this
Speaker 5: time off and which.
Speaker 3: Sounds fucking nice. Honestly, they don't want to work.
Speaker 5: They a lot of them like they because their economy
Speaker 5: just seems to go like this, at least in Greece
Speaker 5: and Spain and stuff like that, like every economy.
Speaker 3: But it's like, am I wrong?
Speaker 5: Is Spain not like fucking they have tons of time
Speaker 5: off or they at least fight for it because they
Speaker 5: it's valued around like spending time with family, But it's
Speaker 5: really just drinking wine and getting drunk. I don't know
Speaker 5: if I'm wrong or not. I don't think I am okay,
Speaker 5: have you ever do you not know? Like is that
Speaker 5: not talking about Spain? I swear to God, I.
Speaker 1: Don't know what that has to do with plants.
Speaker 3: But yeah, Spain, Spanish man, fuck us, Fuck the Spanish. Uh.
Speaker 5: The cow eating tree, the cow eating tree, the cow
Speaker 5: eating tree. Like as soon as I heard it, I
Speaker 5: kind of was like, all right, he's going for a
Speaker 5: walk in Christopher. Mel Gibson said that he saw there's
Speaker 5: an interview with mel Gibson, and he said he saw
Speaker 5: Christopher walk in shape shift. It's not shape shift, but
Speaker 5: he said he saw him like turn demonic and then
Speaker 5: he like turned his head and there on a rooftop
Speaker 5: and there was like six six six in the backgrounds.
Speaker 3: I watched the whole interview of him.
Speaker 1: Talking about the dumbest fucking thing.
Speaker 3: You should watch. It's at least for entertainment values.
Speaker 1: I don't want to watch mel Gibson talk. I don't.
Speaker 5: Hey, he's trying to expose the fucking whole, like inner
Speaker 5: sex rings and do a movie about it.
Speaker 1: He's probably getting something up and settle down, Kanye. We
Speaker 1: all know who he thinks is running these sex rings.
Speaker 5: Yeah it's I'm hm hmmm, someone you can't mention ever.
Speaker 1: Sounds a little ladies and gentlemen. Tom is the only
Speaker 1: person on this podcast that endorses blood libel.
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's all drink each other's blood, let's bathe in
Speaker 5: child's blood. That's just like the elites will all be
Speaker 5: one now. So the cow eating fucking tree. It was
Speaker 5: midday on October eighteen, two thousand and seven. When young
Speaker 5: can you pronounce this name please for me? Patram India
Speaker 5: patrem India made her way through the forest to visit
Speaker 5: her local shop. Normal day brought to an abrupt halt. However,
Speaker 5: she win us to tree lifting a struggling cow by
Speaker 5: its hind quarters from the ground. Despite the cow writhing
Speaker 5: and dancing about, the tree held fast, set fast, and
Speaker 5: tangled its limbs around the animal's tail and hind. Understandably frightened,
Speaker 5: Push palty throat whatever this Indian chick's name is ram
Speaker 5: to get her mother, push Okay, Push ran to her
Speaker 5: mother and a local farmer working on the nearby fence.
Speaker 5: While the mother warned her not to.
Speaker 3: Touch the tree, the farmer quickly jumped in and cut
Speaker 3: the tree's branches to release the cow.
Speaker 5: Not my cow, that's all what he said, but the tree,
Speaker 5: reported and the tree reportedly did not release its iron
Speaker 5: grip on the cow until it was cut down. As
Speaker 5: the story went viral across the early Internet, the owner
Speaker 5: of the rescue cow told reporters trees like this were
Speaker 5: known locally as tiger trees. I'm not going to pronounce pillima,
Speaker 5: and we're sometimes pillimara, yeah, that's and sometimes we're mentioned
Speaker 5: in folk songs. Another villager recalled a similar event in
Speaker 5: which tiger tree ensnared a bull and a group of
Speaker 5: villagers had to cut branches to release the animal. They
Speaker 5: also claim that tiger trees could be climbed if the
Speaker 5: tree was pierced in with an iron first, as the
Speaker 5: iron is believed to have power over carnivorous trees.
Speaker 1: What is it iron always be in like a central
Speaker 1: like it's against the fay? Is it just because that
Speaker 1: was the new thing? It was the iron age?
Speaker 5: Maybe that might be honestly that that's a good theory,
Speaker 5: But also is this the all chemical like stuff like that,
Speaker 5: like the magic belief and that these these things like
Speaker 5: certain metals can actually like you know, they have frequencies
Speaker 5: and can stop certain things from happening, like like putting
Speaker 5: like a little like a real like aluminum quarter a
Speaker 5: dollar or whatever in your water you drink and stuff
Speaker 5: like that supposed to be like helps your body.
Speaker 3: And there's like all stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Hippi shit, isn't iron a compound?
Speaker 3: But then then.
Speaker 5: They put dangerous metals because metals can be dangerous and
Speaker 5: good for you, and then's supposed to be dangerous is
Speaker 5: how they're like obviously may didn't and created, but like
Speaker 5: how you know they put metal in everything? Like there
Speaker 5: was someone who tested twelve different child juices. Don't give
Speaker 5: your kid juice, people, And they found arsenic in the
Speaker 5: juices and some heavy ass metals that would like lead
Speaker 5: to cancer. So everybody watch out for fucking juice nowadays. Well,
Speaker 5: I'm drinking an alcoholic beverage that's probably full of sugar.
Speaker 5: So there, you know, I who knows. I don't know
Speaker 5: if that has a connection to anything with the iron.
Speaker 5: That's a good hypothethys is that it's maybe the iron
Speaker 5: age and people are just like, you know, this will work.
Speaker 1: Oh see, I'm an idiot. I was I was thinking
Speaker 1: the wrong thing. What I was trying to remember if
Speaker 1: iron was an ore, like fine, you find iron ore
Speaker 1: versus being a compound, Like when you put U copper
Speaker 1: and copper and iron and you like, yeah, you make steel.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I don't know. I fucking I work with
Speaker 5: metal all the time. It's fucking don't care that much
Speaker 5: about it. Yeah, yeah, that's a good one. So uh
Speaker 5: so that fucking weird. Unfortunately, the origin the original reporting
Speaker 5: on these incidents is a bit a bit garbled, so
Speaker 5: it's hard to say that these events are truly separate
Speaker 5: or different accounts or the same of the same event.
Speaker 5: While localize localized to India, the story seems to ring
Speaker 5: true with other stories of carnivorous trees and uh around
Speaker 5: the world and the power of protection of iron supposedly
Speaker 5: that offers against spirits and monsters.
Speaker 1: And monsters see.
Speaker 5: That fucking weird, Like that's fucking I don't know, I'm
Speaker 5: I there's not certain, there's not there's not really there's
Speaker 5: not really cryptids that frighten me, but plants that could
Speaker 5: kill you.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: It's I don't know because it like, you know, there's
Speaker 5: there's like if you go to Australia, everything trying to
Speaker 5: kill you, that's the joke. But like, oh the idea
Speaker 5: that you think you walk in buy a tree, like
Speaker 5: you just walking by a tree, you know, fucking just
Speaker 5: hang out there and then you're like or like you
Speaker 5: walk in your dog and then they think goes and
Speaker 5: then just like fucking takes your dog.
Speaker 3: Like that shit's fucking frightening.
Speaker 5: It doesn't it might not think or respond the way
Speaker 5: humans do, right, So it's just like it's it's motive
Speaker 5: essentially is to like kill or contain and use maybe
Speaker 5: the nutrients from whatever dead thing it has. Because plants
Speaker 5: need dead things a lot of times to survive, So it.
Speaker 1: Would be the same thing as a digestion. It's gonna
Speaker 1: eat what it can, it's gonna digest what it can,
Speaker 1: and then it's gonna spit out what it can't. Fucking
Speaker 1: scary though, That's the thing is that, like, how do
Speaker 1: we know that these aren't plausible? Like they're very well
Speaker 1: could be things that are just like roots that come
Speaker 1: out of the ground and they act like a straw
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, they suck the blood out of
Speaker 1: this thing, and it probably like when it stabs you,
Speaker 1: it like puts you into like you know, like like
Speaker 1: treat it like a toxin or something that a spider
Speaker 1: or a snake would would bite you with. It put
Speaker 1: you into like a you know, either a paralysis state
Speaker 1: or like even you know, some some of these cryptid
Speaker 1: cryptied plants are known to be like intoxicating and then
Speaker 1: the moment you're like yeah, it starts grabbing you and
Speaker 1: then swallowing you whole.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 1: I think I think deep in the jungles and the
Speaker 1: swamps and ship oh, is absolutely plausible. We know that
Speaker 1: there are carnivorous plants. There are plants that use things like,
Speaker 1: you know, rotting smells to entice prey.
Speaker 3: M hmm.
Speaker 5: So do you want to get into the y yeah,
Speaker 5: ya ti vo the leshie.
Speaker 3: No, we're on the We're on the they we're on
Speaker 3: the yat vo.
Speaker 1: We're on the leshie.
Speaker 5: Oh, well, on my list, it's the other way around.
Speaker 5: Oh maybe I didn't add that one. Strange, all right,
Speaker 5: just go with that one.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with the yativo. Uh. Humanity's fascination
Speaker 1: with carnivorous plants has gripped us for centuries. After all,
Speaker 1: plants and trees are often seen as a vibrant, life
Speaker 1: giving sentinels of nature who just want water in sunlight.
Speaker 1: The idea of certain ones being stone cold killers or
Speaker 1: insects of insects or small mammals feels strangely personal. What
Speaker 1: if your monsterra plant or oak tree in the backyard
Speaker 1: goes after humans, Well, that's exactly what legend says happened
Speaker 1: with the yati vo, a well known carnivorous tree found
Speaker 1: in Central and South America, Africa, and on the shores
Speaker 1: of the Indian Ocean, described as having thick, stout trunk, thick,
Speaker 1: long tendril like branches used to catch its prey. Some
Speaker 1: reports even claim it has an eye to locate potential dinner.
Speaker 3: Oh creepy, that's creepy.
Speaker 1: So in eighteen eighty one, a letter was published from
Speaker 1: German explorer Carl Leech sometimes describing a terrible tree called
Speaker 1: the Yativo and how it ate members of the Dok
Speaker 1: I'm gona butcher this sorry Doku tribe of Madagascar tribe.
Speaker 1: He notably described his encounter with the tree as it
Speaker 1: coiled its tendrils around a philly, strangling the young horse
Speaker 1: with a cruel swiftness and savage tenacity of anaconda's fastening
Speaker 1: upon their prey. Although the story was later revealed to
Speaker 1: be a fictitious work of writer Edmund Spencer for the
Speaker 1: for the newspaper in New York World. The appearance of
Speaker 1: similar stories of carnivorous plants and trees in other parts
Speaker 1: of the world see the cow eating tree of India
Speaker 1: we just talked about raises interesting questions.
Speaker 5: Yeah, fucking to me, this is like frightening. And there's
Speaker 5: like you think of walking around cryptids that maybe are
Speaker 5: connected with nature, but like the plant like this specifically
Speaker 5: that like just that vines entangle you and bring you in.
Speaker 3: It is like, I don't know, it's it's it's freaky.
Speaker 5: That's why you see it in obviously certain movies and
Speaker 5: stuff like that. And then in you know, Japan, where
Speaker 5: they love tentacles, they love them, love them so much
Speaker 5: they shove them in places they probably shouldn't.
Speaker 1: Are you I'm talking about tentacles?
Speaker 5: Would you be into? Are you in a tentacle porn?
Speaker 5: Would you want?
Speaker 1: I don't like your tone.
Speaker 5: I was curious the people that like, okay, I I
Speaker 5: they use tentacles because they can't show dicks, so then
Speaker 5: they have to have something else. So and they all,
Speaker 5: y'all love fucking anime, so they're like tentacles because they
Speaker 5: can't for some reason, I can't show a dick going
Speaker 5: into vagina, but I can show a fucking tentacle going
Speaker 5: into vagina. That's fucking just strange. In general, that's how
Speaker 5: happens in Japan. I'm why you give me this look
Speaker 5: like I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: I'm not giving you a look like I'm like I
Speaker 1: think you're wrong, not in the least, but I'm just
Speaker 1: saying I'm like, yeah.
Speaker 5: I might, I might, I might do that. Have a
Speaker 5: tentacles all over you. Oh yeah, tentacles.
Speaker 1: Hmmm in some weird like slimy gag. See, I'm a
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm absolutely that, let's go.
Speaker 3: I'm a simple man.
Speaker 5: The more sometimes when I hear it like stuff that
Speaker 5: you'd be to I'm like, I'm I'm so simple, so.
Speaker 1: Simple, there's nothing, there's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 3: I know. It's just like you feel like why I
Speaker 3: joke joke with Billy. Billy is very simple also, but.
Speaker 5: I feel like if I probed Billy for I'm like, hey,
Speaker 5: a hot chick wants to do this or whatever.
Speaker 3: I'm so sure that Billy would be.
Speaker 5: Like, yeah, I have a fucking feeling because uh, everyone
Speaker 5: like I'll do this or that. But once you like
Speaker 5: have this situation where this girl is like let me
Speaker 5: do this, and this or guy or whoever, right that,
Speaker 5: like you know, started to be like, hmm, maybe I guess.
Speaker 3: Like if you like this, I guess I should. I'll
Speaker 3: help you out.
Speaker 1: I don't know with the for me, but with the
Speaker 1: right partner I open to most have a couple of
Speaker 1: hard limits.
Speaker 5: But now I think it's like sexuality should be exploited
Speaker 5: in general. I do believe that that whatever people want
Speaker 5: to you know, do you embrace sexuality in a healthy way.
Speaker 3: I think it's good. Pointer is not healthy.
Speaker 1: As long as it's as long as it's consenting adult,
Speaker 1: it's all that matters.
Speaker 3: Yeah. The Honey Island Swamp Bear. I like this guy.
Speaker 5: The Honey Island swamp bear, first spotted in abundant Honey
Speaker 5: Island Swamp of Louisiana in nineteen sixty three. The Honey
Speaker 5: Island Swamp monster has been blamed for the death of
Speaker 5: animals and unexplained disappearance of local children. Uh Sometimes described
Speaker 5: as a cross between an alligator and a chimpanzee, this
Speaker 5: Island swamp monster stands over seven and a half feet tall,
Speaker 5: weighs about four to five hundred pounds, So he's fucking
Speaker 5: a big boy.
Speaker 3: It's like a fucking at the half of a bear.
Speaker 5: And because the bear's gonna be up to like nine
Speaker 5: hundred pounds, I feel like fairly big bears.
Speaker 1: Bears can get up to a thousand pounds. So crazy
Speaker 1: grizzlies that are there have to be grizzlies that are
Speaker 1: like I would bet money on it.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 5: I was listening to Joe Roke and talk about it,
Speaker 5: and he'salking about like this this grizzly bear encounter this
Speaker 5: attack where this guy it was in its his it
Speaker 5: was in his house and he had to like shoot
Speaker 5: it through the door and he caught it in the
Speaker 5: head and like you could see it. He had a
Speaker 5: time it perfectly and it's it's this crazy story and
Speaker 5: this guy to kill the bear in his own home
Speaker 5: because it like came into his house.
Speaker 1: I'm like, he was like a forty five yeah, something powerful.
Speaker 5: He talks about how he like the guy that did
Speaker 5: like this happened to He talked about He's like I
Speaker 5: knew this wouldn't do it. And he's like and Joey
Speaker 5: was like, these are the people that will survive the apocalypse.
Speaker 5: It's like people that just like duh, just like yeah,
Speaker 5: they are crazy. Like that's fucking mind blowing. I wouldn't
Speaker 5: bears and can right out the gate. I know bears
Speaker 5: are frightening. I will, I will fight, but it won't
Speaker 5: last long. Like I will fight my fucking dude tooth
Speaker 5: and nail. But if something crazy, Okay, I know right
Speaker 5: now that if a bear attacked me, I would die.
Speaker 5: And if you think that, you wouldn't you're a fucking idiot.
Speaker 5: Bears are fucking crazy, man, Yeah, I nope, especially this thing,
Speaker 5: because this thing is crazy. So it's it's a it's
Speaker 5: got thick, matted like swamp wheat and grayish hair. While
Speaker 5: it's it's earnest name, actually it's.
Speaker 3: Nickname, know.
Speaker 5: Its nickname is the louis the Louisiana Wookie, which is
Speaker 5: like if you you discovered so supposedly so it actual, yeah,
Speaker 5: because it's supposed to be. It's when people have seen this.
Speaker 5: It has yellow reptilian eyes and the stench of death,
Speaker 5: which is.
Speaker 1: And this it's part that always gets labeled to smell
Speaker 1: and like ship.
Speaker 5: Too, Yeah, the smell of the marshlands, I guess. And
Speaker 5: hunters made early sightings of the Honey Island swamp Monster,
Speaker 5: reporting a towering humanoid mass plant matter prowling the swamps
Speaker 5: and leaving webbed, three toed footprints in its wake. Which
Speaker 5: that's fucking it's weird.
Speaker 1: It's like a fuzzy creature from the Black Lagoon.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he looks fun.
Speaker 1: I love them looks. I like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he looks grumpy.
Speaker 5: Yet I wonder if it is to be honest, right,
Speaker 5: So this is a thought, we'll get I'll get into
Speaker 5: it after a rather unique legend surrounding the Swampy Beast
Speaker 5: involves an alligator train wreck that occurred near Pro River
Speaker 5: in the early nineteen hundreds. The story goes that a
Speaker 5: train of exotic circus animals, namely chimpanzees, escaped in the
Speaker 5: accident and bred with alligators. That's fucked up, eh, delightfully fantastical,
Speaker 5: as the baby monkeys an alligators cannot inter breed. Others
Speaker 5: speculate this swampy monster is just Bigfoot, maybe adapted more
Speaker 5: aquatic style of living because the environment, whether it's swamp
Speaker 5: weed coming to life in the marsh or a marsh
Speaker 5: type Bigfoot. The Honey Islands residents and visitors still see
Speaker 5: this mysterious entity to this day, which is crazy. And
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, what if this motherfucker is like
Speaker 5: a reptilian that got left here?
Speaker 3: And then he's like, is that what you're gonna say?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, I'm like, we know what
Speaker 1: this is, just like some reptilian that went rogue. And
Speaker 1: he's like, I'm done with the fucking agenda. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna go hang out in the swamp. It's cool, and
Speaker 1: then he gets there, he's like, yo, it's fucking cold.
Speaker 5: Yes, he like discovers himself with shit because or it's
Speaker 5: some it's a reptilian that lives in the area.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a rogue and he just like lives off
Speaker 5: of like basic things. He got dropped here and he
Speaker 5: doesn't even know when he got dropped here. And then
Speaker 5: you know, he just like he just adapts.
Speaker 1: You know what if he figured out that, like he
Speaker 1: just kept covering himself in fucking like plant matter and
Speaker 1: ship in the swamp and then going out and sunning
Speaker 1: himself and it just baked to him and it follows
Speaker 1: that and then there's just extra layers and those that's
Speaker 1: what keeps him warm.
Speaker 5: That's why he's Well, there's theories on like when we
Speaker 5: talked about all their like the strange reptilian encounters of
Speaker 5: this scape or monsters I think at the swamp skateboard
Speaker 5: monster or whatever. It's supposedly he could be like a
Speaker 5: reptilian and stuff like that. It's like that they somehow
Speaker 5: that they disguise themselves. They're freely walking around and then
Speaker 5: they're like people see them and they're like thinking it's
Speaker 5: another cryptid or something, when it's just like a basic
Speaker 5: just a basic reptiliy, just walking around and kind of
Speaker 5: disguising himself.
Speaker 1: Simple, nothing crazy.
Speaker 5: Ah, So let's get into the next one, the nair
Speaker 5: pon pond.
Speaker 3: This one's weird.
Speaker 1: This Thailand based plant cryptid is supposedly spotted in the
Speaker 1: Infamous and Perilous Jungles, appearing half human and half plant.
Speaker 1: While they're known for throwing rights, While they're known for
Speaker 1: throwing rights rocks at those passing through the jungle, the
Speaker 1: naripon or narapon actually have an origin in Buddhist mythology.
Speaker 1: According to legend, Vesinatra's wife often went into the forest
Speaker 1: to collect fruits, but feared attacks from the hermits and
Speaker 1: yogis who lived there due to her beauty. The god
Speaker 1: Indra created twelve special narafon trees that would bear fruits
Speaker 1: resembling the wife's beauty to distract the men and allow
Speaker 1: her to collect the fruits in peace. It said, the
Speaker 1: men would take the fruits back to the home, and
Speaker 1: after making love to them, they would sleep for four
Speaker 1: months and lose all their powers. These monks were taking
Speaker 1: this fruit back and fucking it and then they would
Speaker 1: go like, apparently the sex is so good that you
Speaker 1: go into a coma for form. Yeah, and then when
Speaker 1: you come out of.
Speaker 5: It, do you want to see what these things look like?
Speaker 5: You fucking k they found one? You ever ejaculated your
Speaker 5: soul into something?
Speaker 3: Look at that thing.
Speaker 5: This is supposed to be a real picture of this
Speaker 5: thing that is supposed to be what it looks like
Speaker 5: supposed to be. They have it mummified, and if this
Speaker 5: is real, it's not saying it's real. It's probably a
Speaker 5: fucking circus thing. But but I always like going into
Speaker 5: the the you know, the fun aspect of mythological bullshit
Speaker 5: is imagine if that thing is real. Imagine if like
Speaker 5: it's crazy that they have And then people are like, nah,
Speaker 5: it's not fucking real. And it's this real, tiny, weird
Speaker 5: looking alien, small creature, and they legitimately found a real one,
Speaker 5: and then it's like they test it and then the
Speaker 5: illumini is like, we can't get this out, so they'd
Speaker 5: lie and they say it's fake. You know, look that
Speaker 5: thing looks like a sleepy old grandpa. You know it's
Speaker 5: And for the people audio listeners, you can.
Speaker 1: Look up whitez that's making you say, Grandpa.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, listen, they're so turd his face tip.
Speaker 5: Look up the the N A R E E p
Speaker 5: O N. Look that up and you'll see it's crazy.
Speaker 5: Look at this thing like it looks like a sad
Speaker 5: old like decreptit little creature.
Speaker 1: I wis what it looks like when it's on the tree.
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't trible down at all. That's just what
Speaker 1: the fruit looks like. That's what everybody was sucking. Is
Speaker 1: that that tiny dry Yeah.
Speaker 5: It's like crawls his way, like almost like when Freddy
Speaker 5: Krueger is that like weird baby thing.
Speaker 3: It's just like crawls on you and ship.
Speaker 1: Like using a bag of beef jerky as a fleshlight.
Speaker 1: That's horrible.
Speaker 3: I like this The cactus cat. This is a fun one.
Speaker 3: I love this giddy.
Speaker 1: Could you imagine getting fucked up by that thing?
Speaker 5: I know, the cactus hat. It's literally a cat into
Speaker 5: a cactus. So the cactus cat. Cats are often accused
Speaker 5: of being a bit prickly according to dog lovers, but
Speaker 5: this plant.
Speaker 3: Crypt that deserves the reputation.
Speaker 5: The cactus cat is described as a bobcat like creature
Speaker 5: with thorns for fur, sharp and protruding bones, and branch tail.
Speaker 5: Most settings have been reported in southwestern desert of the
Speaker 5: United States, UH, most often in California, Nevada, and New Mexico,
Speaker 5: although there had been a few settings in Colorado. To me,
Speaker 5: if these things exist, right, you know, you know, if
Speaker 5: cryptons exists at all, there's a to me, a possibility,
Speaker 5: you know that that people messing around with this stuff, right,
Speaker 5: So like you you just you have the genetics to
Speaker 5: clone things and create like beings and creatures and stuff
Speaker 5: like that, and like some Area fifty one style lab
Speaker 5: or some stuff, you know, like something like that, like
Speaker 5: some fucking dalty New Mexico base. And then you're like,
Speaker 5: you take this some sort of the genetic genome, I'm
Speaker 5: a cactus, and then you put into a cat to
Speaker 5: see what the fuck happens.
Speaker 3: And then you get this guy, you.
Speaker 1: Know that that looks like a cactus. Fucking mickey about
Speaker 1: to take that twenty dollars.
Speaker 3: Look at the one in the back. It's like humping
Speaker 3: the tree.
Speaker 1: The one previously was licking the tree.
Speaker 3: Uh, They're fucking fun.
Speaker 1: Why has nobody made a movie about this yet? I know,
Speaker 1: like that needs to be a fucking sci fi channel,
Speaker 1: like made for TV movie like Cactus.
Speaker 3: This is a really unknown cryptid.
Speaker 5: I've heard about this before the episode when I'm unning,
Speaker 5: I'm running out that Crypti song, right.
Speaker 1: I want to cat this cat tattoo. That thing is
Speaker 1: so isn't it cool?
Speaker 5: You should get that would actually be a fun tattoo. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you should, because that's actually pretty fun tattoo. And like
Speaker 5: it's one of the most like unknown cryptids. And that's
Speaker 5: why I'm writing I'm running a cryptid song for everybody,
Speaker 5: and it's gonna be really fun. Actually, I'm using it
Speaker 5: to a very famous beat. It might get copywritten, but
Speaker 5: I the beat goes perfectly. But if not, I'm gonna
Speaker 5: actually like to make a beat or develop a beat
Speaker 5: for this song down the road. But when I was
Speaker 5: going through, because I'm going through, I want to add
Speaker 5: as many cryptids as possible.
Speaker 3: It's called the Cryptid Party. It's coming out.
Speaker 5: It will come out in a couple of weeks to
Speaker 5: a month or two time I get everything done, but
Speaker 5: I want to add as many cryptids as possible. And
Speaker 5: I either have a line about the Cactus cat or
Speaker 5: I was going to try to add the cactus cat
Speaker 5: in because I was like the strangest fucking cryptids out there.
Speaker 5: Try to fit as many try, I want to fit
Speaker 5: as many as I could. Right, So, early as early
Speaker 5: nineteenth century, legends of the cactus cat claim this creature
Speaker 5: came out at night and slashed open a car tier
Speaker 5: and a drink that fermented sap within it to get
Speaker 5: a buzz or maybe you know, and so supposedly, uh,
Speaker 5: this creature came out at night, slashed the cat di
Speaker 5: and then drank the fermented sap within it to get
Speaker 5: a nice buzz.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this thing.
Speaker 5: Will come out of nowhere and then people have claimed
Speaker 5: to see it and he would like go up to
Speaker 5: the cactus and lick it, you know it. It looks
Speaker 5: like it would get high from the cactus.
Speaker 1: Oh that explains a lot. Yeah, cactus ca't likes the
Speaker 1: fucking party. Let's go.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's like tripping balls because what's the mesculine is
Speaker 5: that the cactus that trip makes trip out? Is that?
Speaker 1: My right, One's the mescaline buttons off of payote cactus.
Speaker 5: My body has a Payote cactus and I.
Speaker 1: Really they take like eight years to mature.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he I don't know how he got it,
Speaker 5: but he mentioned it to me, and I was like,
Speaker 5: if you ever I want to try, Okay, like I
Speaker 5: he and I was like, there's no way.
Speaker 1: Masculine's fucking intense.
Speaker 3: I know that's a one time thing, right, Let's try
Speaker 3: it once. And that's but I.
Speaker 1: Mean, better be out in nature for that ship. You
Speaker 1: don't you don't fucking take mescaline and stay.
Speaker 3: In the house. I feel like I had to do
Speaker 3: a little bit.
Speaker 1: She's like, Mescalito is the spirit of the fucking.
Speaker 5: Like Mescalito, some guy with a fucking capon flies in
Speaker 5: fun while I'm tripping.
Speaker 1: Never heard of fucking mescalito And that's a terrible mescaline.
Speaker 5: Is he a fucking Mexican wrestler that like teaches you
Speaker 5: about the fucking desert?
Speaker 1: I would speak his name with a little more reverence
Speaker 1: than that.
Speaker 3: Is he gonna suck me up? Am I gonna fucking find? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Is he gonna fuck me up? I'm like tripping on mescaline.
Speaker 5: This guy comes out of nowhere, like punches me out.
Speaker 1: You know how in sleep paralysis, most people either meet
Speaker 1: the shadow or the hat man or the old hag.
Speaker 3: Yeah, reptilians. In my case, when you're.
Speaker 1: Doing mescaline, most people meet Mescalito.
Speaker 3: So I want to meet Mescalito.
Speaker 5: You think he's gonna do like the fucking what's that
Speaker 5: move where he puts you on your back fucking flips you.
Speaker 1: I think Mescalito is gonna be a leap stor.
Speaker 3: Yeah I do, so we did.
Speaker 5: If you, let's get into the capria. You can pronounce
Speaker 5: this one. Oh, here's another image of them. This is
Speaker 5: actually from that I for gott to throw this up
Speaker 5: from the naire pond. This is a someone the images
Speaker 5: from back of the day critical should be looking.
Speaker 1: What's funny is you can tell how close the cultures
Speaker 1: are from, like one's you know in Japan and Chinese
Speaker 1: artwork as well, and they all have that motif of
Speaker 1: like the super exit, like like the crown style. I
Speaker 1: think maybe I'm sure it's just my uncultured Western.
Speaker 3: Eyes that they too seeing that, but yeah, I actual
Speaker 3: that it's similar.
Speaker 1: So the copry named from the Arabic word kafir, meaning
Speaker 1: a non believer in Islam, The copyright is a Philippine creature,
Speaker 1: often called a tree giant, with its towering seven to
Speaker 1: nine foot height and hairy muscular physique. Sightings often mentioned
Speaker 1: a powerful odor from the cigars it smoked, and the
Speaker 1: wearing of an indigenous Northern Philippine loincloth known as a bahag.
Speaker 1: Its name is deeply tied to early Arabs and the Moors,
Speaker 1: who used it to refer to non Muslims, but it
Speaker 1: was later co opted by the Spanish to prevent the
Speaker 1: Filipinos from assisting escaping African slaves brought to Latin America.
Speaker 1: There's the fucking Spanish again, I wonder Spanish listeners write
Speaker 1: in and tell us why we're stupid and.
Speaker 3: What goes on in Spain? Well, why are you guys
Speaker 3: such conquerors? What's happening with that? Huh?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Does the rain in Spain truly stay mainly in
Speaker 1: the plane?
Speaker 3: We don't know, We don't know, never been there, probably
Speaker 3: never going there.
Speaker 1: Despite the name sordid past. The creature called the Caprare
Speaker 1: is said to dwell in big trees, wears a belt
Speaker 1: of invisibility, and possesses a magical white stone that grants
Speaker 1: the wishes of any you obtain it. Those who claim
Speaker 1: to have seen the cafrit rustling tree branches without cause
Speaker 1: or hearing loud laughter from an unseen Others are called
Speaker 1: seeing plumes of smoke with no source, or big red
Speaker 1: eyes glaring at them from the trees. Moss Man cometh
Speaker 1: on your face.
Speaker 5: There's there's a there is a moss Man documentary, mockumentary.
Speaker 5: It's called The boss Man Cometh. Uh, I wonder if
Speaker 5: that's a tweak at always sunny. You want to see
Speaker 5: what this guy looks like the fucking the capri or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it's a naked man with a fucking fat cigar. It's
Speaker 5: a creature which is crazy that smokes cigars. Where's this
Speaker 5: from again? The Arabic world? Weird fucking straight?
Speaker 1: Would you still let him hit this guy? Yeah, both
Speaker 1: of them.
Speaker 5: This guy fucking man, he would eat your ass and
Speaker 5: it would be gone. It would be gone, there would
Speaker 5: be back and left fucking pulls out your edge trails.
Speaker 5: So the hailing from Central Asia, the vegetable lamb of
Speaker 5: tar tiri tart re aria, tart aria, tartaria sure tartaria.
Speaker 5: Now tart aria was leave to grow sheep like a
Speaker 5: tree grows fruit.
Speaker 3: Ha ha ha. Sounds like does get jokers? That sounds
Speaker 3: of the left connected to the plant. Tom bine and
Speaker 3: pilloical cord.
Speaker 5: The vegetable lamb was described in Henry Lee's eighteen eighty
Speaker 5: seven book The Vegetable Lamb of Tartary to both living
Speaker 5: animal and plant. They believe to be both living in
Speaker 5: am own plant. Belief surrounding whether the vegetable lamb is
Speaker 5: flesh and blood like a normal lamb or is a
Speaker 5: more plant life has shifted over time, along with speculation
Speaker 5: about whether or not it could survive without the umbilical cord.
Speaker 3: To the plant.
Speaker 5: Interestingly, though, when they compare the vegetable lamb to similar
Speaker 5: tales of the da yaha of Jewish folklore, ye doa?
Speaker 3: Can you come on? Got? Ye? Ye you do?
Speaker 1: Which offensive? Which offensive stereotype voice do we want? In
Speaker 1: this one?
Speaker 5: The yeah, I could see it like that?
Speaker 1: Uh they do.
Speaker 3: Stroke the fucking lower features the lamb that.
Speaker 5: Sprouted from the stem growing directly from the earth.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 5: Severing the connection between the lamb and the stem would
Speaker 5: only the only way to kill the creature. So it's
Speaker 5: bones could not actually Uh so it's bones could be
Speaker 5: used during some prophetic ceremonies.
Speaker 3: Is that fucking weird?
Speaker 1: Like d M T bones?
Speaker 3: This thing? What is DMT bones.
Speaker 1: It's a bone that you're smoking. It's d MT. I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 3: I gotta try to DMPT. That's gonna happen doing that someday.
Speaker 5: I want to get it properly because I've never I know,
Speaker 5: you get in vape pens.
Speaker 3: I know we get it in vie parents.
Speaker 5: It's not fun image of like some of this these
Speaker 5: crazy tree creature things. This one is weird that it
Speaker 5: grows sheep. This is the leashy. This guy's fucking look
Speaker 5: at this guy. He looks like the wind to go.
Speaker 1: So, the Leshie has had some moments of stardom in
Speaker 1: recent years, from being featured as an enemy in the
Speaker 1: video game Cult of the Lamb to getting a moment
Speaker 1: in the limelight as Lessen and Netflix the Witzer and
Speaker 1: Netflix is the Witcher.
Speaker 3: Oh what I wouldn't finish that.
Speaker 1: However, this plant cryptid celebrity isn't an invention of the
Speaker 1: modern world. In fact, the Leshie comes from Slavic mythology
Speaker 1: and was seen as a god of the forests and hunting.
Speaker 1: He was considered a wild and spiteful being who prowled
Speaker 1: the deepest backwards of Eastern Europe. Legend describes him as
Speaker 1: a gaunt gaunt man or giant gaunt man, with tangled
Speaker 1: hair green covering his body and skin roughly like tree bark,
Speaker 1: but that wasn't his only form. This tree man was
Speaker 1: no friendly ent from Lord of the Rings. Leshie was
Speaker 1: also known for being a shape shifter that sought to
Speaker 1: trick those who walked in his woods and lead them
Speaker 1: to their demise. Many stories accused him of kidnapping children,
Speaker 1: likely used to frighten naughty kids, while others named him
Speaker 1: as more of a neutral trickster spirit that guarded the
Speaker 1: forest and could often be heard singing, laughing, or even
Speaker 1: whistling in the woods.
Speaker 3: It's to me, it reminds me of the Wendy Goo. Uh.
Speaker 3: It looks similar, but he's like bark is a bark creature.
Speaker 1: I think it's just the big antler shit with the
Speaker 1: Wendy go and like the long either skeletal or dog face.
Speaker 3: Have you ever seen Hannibal the show?
Speaker 1: No, dude, it's so good, so good? Did another show that, like,
Speaker 1: the first three seasons are good in the ale of it,
Speaker 1: the whole thing is pretty good. Like me and Chelsea
Speaker 1: really liked it sex and never came back. But like
Speaker 1: when we started, I was like, Ah, this is gonna
Speaker 1: be okay. It's you know whatever, it's a fucking show
Speaker 1: about Hannibal. It's not gonna be as good as like
Speaker 1: the actual movies and stuff like that. Right, And uh,
Speaker 1: it was great, like almost up to par.
Speaker 5: With the movies. Like it's it's fantastic. You have to
Speaker 5: check it out. Because he sees like it's based on
Speaker 5: the book, right, More, the show seems to be more
Speaker 5: verily heavily based on the books more than what the
Speaker 5: movie kind of adds to it and.
Speaker 1: Which books Lambs, Dragon, Hannibal, the.
Speaker 3: Whole the whole series. Whoever write that writer.
Speaker 1: Is fucking wait, Handle Rising wasn't a Thomas Harris book, right?
Speaker 1: You write it after Thomas Harris movie was bad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it was weird.
Speaker 5: I don't remember if I like, I thought it wasn't
Speaker 5: I thought it wasn't bad.
Speaker 1: I remember I remember they made him eat his sister,
Speaker 1: right thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it would prove to me like dig back
Speaker 5: into like why he's so sick. But that's the whole
Speaker 5: thing of like you can't always try to fucking figure
Speaker 5: out why the monster is doing what he's doing. That's
Speaker 5: how Rob Zombie ruined Halloween. You can't fun.
Speaker 1: Didn't handble only eat people who kind of had it coming.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like fucking Ray Liota you always got but oh yeah,
Speaker 5: he did have it coming. But like they show this
Speaker 5: he and it's weird because it's to me, it's in
Speaker 5: folklore in books and reaches back for so long psychedelic
Speaker 5: stuff there's that has connections to this of like the
Speaker 5: deer and seeing the antler, and he sees like this
Speaker 5: creature that looks kind of like this actually in the show,
Speaker 5: and I think it's in the books that way too,
Speaker 5: that he sees it because we're like, I was like,
Speaker 5: I've never seen this done in the movies. They never
Speaker 5: showed in the movies where he sees his like dear creature.
Speaker 5: You have to watch Hannibal. To anyone out there that
Speaker 5: is interested somewhat like and you're in the horror, it's
Speaker 5: fucking than.
Speaker 1: Fastic interested in that alone.
Speaker 5: So it's fucking sweet. I enjoyed this a lot. It
Speaker 5: is strange to me. When I found this, I was like,
Speaker 5: we gotta do this sometime soon because there's other cryptics
Speaker 5: that I want to deep dive into like I kind
Speaker 5: of want to go back to Mothman and do a
Speaker 5: big episode on that. And so there's there's all these talks,
