How's it going bud? 5 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000 I look, I'm like looking at myself in my, on the, you know, the Riverside app and I look very disheveled. 6 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000 Really? I think you, I think this, that's your good side. I think you look really good right now. 7 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:53,000 I mean, I'll be honest with you. I was up to like six o'clock this morning watching Korean like films with my friend Aram. 8 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,000 Okay. 9 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000 Yeah, it was great. 10 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000 So by Korean films, you mean Asian porn and by arm, you mean your arm. 11 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000 No, no, no. My friend Aram was over here. 12 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,000 Okay. 13 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,000 And she showed me the magical world of Korean like mafia movies, because that's the thing. 14 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,000 Oh no. 15 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,000 Oh no. They're great. They're great. 16 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:21,000 Also to jump back to what I said last week about your new intro music. 17 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,000 It's grown on you and you love it? 18 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:29,000 No, no, no. It reminds me of the nightmare before Christmas. Oogie boogie's return Game Boy Advance game. 19 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000 Oh fuck dude. 20 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,000 Yeah. 21 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,000 Yeah. 22 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,000 And that game sucks. 23 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:44,000 Yeah, but it's still awesome. It's fun. Nick, where's your sense of, your sense of, your sense of holiday spirit, your holiday pride. 24 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000 This is not a holiday. It is a lifestyle. Look at this. Look at this. Look at this right here. 25 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:59,000 Nicholas, you can't, you can't see it. This is a little devil fucking painting that one of my best friends painted for me for my birthday, but it's too small and I can't find a frame for it. 26 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,000 So it just lives on my desk. 27 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,000 Well, Nicholas, I don't know what to tell you. It's good music. I'm having fun with it. You're going to have to live with it. 28 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000 It's your podcast. 29 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,000 I'm sorry. 30 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,000 It's your podcast. 31 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,000 Yeah. Don't yuck my yum bro. 32 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000 Don't, don't come on my farm and tell me that's not my pig. 33 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,000 Oh shit. 34 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000 That is my pig, sir. 35 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:27,000 All right, Nicholas. I believe I told you what we're covering today. 36 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,000 You did. 37 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:34,000 But I'm not, I'm not going to, I'm not going to say it right up top because I want the listeners, although I guess they'll see the title. 38 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:40,000 So I, to be fair, I don't know too much about it. I know that one sighting that I asked you about. 39 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,000 Oh, the one. 40 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,000 And that's kind of it. 41 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:50,000 Now, yeah, I didn't include that in this because just the story alone of the subject that we're going to be talking about today is enough to like just fill the whole episode. 42 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,000 But everyone, are you ready? Are you ready to dive into this, Nicholas? 43 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000 I'm ready to fly into it. 44 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,000 Okay. So on today's episode, I thought we would travel outside of the borders of the U.S. for a change. 45 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,000 We don't normally cover monsters outside of our home country or even outside of the English. 46 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,000 We've talked about them a few times. 47 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000 Not really, not really outside of the English speaking world. 48 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,000 We did Sam the Sand Down Clown, but England is just what I like to call American senior. 49 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000 And I miss Sam the Sand Down Clown. 50 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:28,000 You know, but I think it's time we start branching out because God damn, Nicholas, there is some creepy as fuck folklore out there. 51 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000 And I think that I just don't think enough people know about. 52 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:40,000 Like you got the Yokai in Japan, which I know everyone loves, the Jin of Islamic mythology or the which are terrifying. 53 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000 Yeah, they're all nightmares. 54 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:49,000 And then you got the Gwishin of Korea, just a real missed opportunities on our part for some really good, creepy folklore. 55 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,000 But I was thinking about it. 56 00:04:50,000 --> 00:05:00,000 And I think the reason why I tend to stay away from those kind of topics is because a lot of those like folklore stories like the Wendigo or the Jinn or anything like that. 57 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:10,000 But the one I was even hesitant to do an episode about is because like these folkloric tales are really deeply rooted in a lot of those cultures and belief systems. 58 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:22,000 And I don't I don't feel like I, a white dude with a microphone sitting alone in a room could ever truly cover the subject matter completely while also not just like completely offending people who hold those beliefs. 59 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000 It's kind of it's like a really thin line to walk. 60 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,000 Yeah, I mean, listen, if there was two white guys in that room, I think we could get away with it. 61 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000 I just got it. 62 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:42,000 Because I feel like because the show is called Crypto Cocktail Party and technically they aren't cryptids and things like the Wendigo and the Skinwalker get lumped into those categories. 63 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000 And that's not what they are. 64 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:51,000 So the question is, should I be covering these folkloric stories with centuries of deep cultural significance from outside of the US? 65 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,000 Probably not. But I mean, I'm still gonna. 66 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000 You know why? Because I'm David Prescott. 67 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:06,000 Exactly. So on this episode, we're going to be heading to the Philippines to cover one of the more terrifying creatures I've ever had the displeasure of learning about. 68 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000 And I hope it bums you all out as much as it did me. 69 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,000 And this folkloric monster is known as the Manananggal. 70 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,000 I've heard many. Manananggal. It sounds like a drink. 71 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000 I've heard many different ways of pronouncing it. 72 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,000 There's Manananggal, Manananggal and the Manananggal. 73 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,000 I think Manananggal. Manananggal is the one that I actually looked up the pronunciation of it. 74 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,000 And an actual Filipino person was on the YouTube video telling me how to. 75 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000 So I'm going to go with Manananggal. Manananggal. 76 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000 OK. All right. So it sounds like a drink. 77 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:45,000 It sounds like a Mai Tai. Yeah, it does sound like a really fruity drink with like an umbrella in it. 78 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:55,000 So the Manananggal is a type of Oswong, which is an umbrella term for a whole mess of terrifying evil creatures in Filipino folklore. 79 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,000 You got things like ghosts, vampires, witches, ghouls. 80 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:08,000 And even those get broken down into subcategories of Oswong, which includes my favorite category and the one that the Manananggal falls into, 81 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:16,000 which is the self segmenting viscera sucker. What does that mean? 82 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,000 Is that is that a medical condition? No, it's I mean, it could be. 83 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000 It definitely it definitely is. Yeah. 84 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:28,000 So self segmenting viscera sucker. If you have it, go to a doctor immediately. 85 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:35,000 I told you this is going to be a bummer of an episode as far as this is going to be like it's like gore porn basically. 86 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,000 All right. So you ready to dive into this nightmare? 87 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,000 Yeah. You don't seem so thrilled about it. 88 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:47,000 I don't like gore. Oh, well, I mean, I'm I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. 89 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:53,000 So according to folklore, during the day, the Manananggal is said to resemble a beautiful woman. 90 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000 Think like a Taylor Swift or an Ariana Grande. 91 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,000 Just a real girl next door. Bring home to your mom type vibe about her. 92 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:10,000 It said she is exceptionally adept at keeping and hiding her evil and monstrous form hidden from those around her and can maintain full on platonic and romantic relationships. 93 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000 They can do this so well. It said that in some cases they even get married. 94 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,000 It's only at night that their true form comes out and they show themselves for what they truly are. 95 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,000 They sprout leathery bat like wings. 96 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:27,000 Their face and mouth turn twisted and demonic fangs protrude from their teeth. 97 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:34,000 Their hands turn long and claw like and then their torso rips itself from its lower half and it flies off into the night. 98 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:45,000 Its intestines dangling from its now torn in half body and it hunts for unsuspecting prey, much like a Taylor Swift or an Ariana Grande. 99 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,000 But Nicholas, again, this is an audio platform. 100 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,000 No, I know. Use your words. All right. That's disgusting. 101 00:08:52,000 --> 00:09:03,000 First off, it is that is the most Lovecraftian bullshit I've ever heard outside of like just reading Lovecraft or anyone that's like, oh, yeah, this is based off. 102 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000 I love craft work. That's fucked. 103 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,000 Nope. Yeah. No, I'll stay out of the Philippines. 104 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,000 Nick, I need to go. Nick, it only gets so much worse from here. 105 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000 Oh, I'm sure it does. I'm sure it does. 106 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:24,000 It's interesting that you use the word leathery and you didn't say that, you know, you heard the flesh kind of cracking as it came out like the Frank Shaw gargoyle. 107 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000 No, that wasn't in any of the any of the texts. 108 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:34,000 I didn't say that it was cracking. There was no description of no, there was no squelching involved. 109 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:39,000 I'm sorry. Although I'm sure although the squelching sounds, if they didn't happen before, they're going to happen now. 110 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000 Are you ready? No. 111 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:48,000 So, Nick, you may be asking yourself how and what not. 112 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:56,000 I guarantee you I'm not asking any questions right now other than why I said I would come on to this week's episode. 113 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:02,000 So so how and what does this nightmarish monster feed on is what you're probably asking yourself. 114 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000 Now I am. All right. 115 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,000 Well, it preys on those in their most vulnerable state. 116 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:13,000 The sleeping. It would be much better if I was like on the toilet. But no, it's when they're sleeping. 117 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,000 Don't come at me when I'm pooping, man. 118 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:22,000 OK, so how it does this is once it has found its victim, it will perch on a roof or outside a window or a door. 119 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:30,000 It will then look for even like the tiniest of openings and use its now long tubular tongue to enter the victim's body, 120 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:38,000 either through their nose, mouth, ear or torso and feed on their organs, liver, hearts, lungs, suck its blood, you name it. 121 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:46,000 But Nicholas, it has a favorite victim type. You say that it kind of has a has a preference, you would say. 122 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:52,000 And can you get a kink? Can you guess what that is? Young men, heavily pregnant women. 123 00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:03,000 And this is an actual quote from CNN Philippines, quote, heavily pregnant women whose nutrient rich fetuses she can suck out like a raw egg and quote. 124 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:13,000 What the fuck? What is this flying ant eater from hell? 125 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,000 This is like a mosquito on crack. I expect to share Kensington. 126 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:25,000 I told you it's a bummer. It's not none of this is fun, but it's such a fucking nightmarish creature that I had to keep it in. 127 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:30,000 Also, I'm so you have I'm really bummed out that you didn't laugh at any of my Ariana Grande or Taylor Swift jokes. 128 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,000 The fact that I used three times to describe this thing. I worked really hard on this. 129 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,000 I don't I don't find either of those people attractive. 130 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:46,000 And I know that you've got a hard on for Taylor Swift, considering every time that we drink, you put on more Taylor Swift music that I think I've ever listened to in my life. 131 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000 Her music makes me feel things. OK. 132 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:55,000 Anyways, what are you going to say? You're telling me you're telling me we have a Zoe Deschanel, right? 133 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,000 That like. Sweetheart during the day, super cute, super pretty. 134 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,000 Yeah. And then out of nowhere, no, just at night, she goes at night. 135 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:09,000 She comes full Jeepers creepers. And by the way, her torso rips in half. 136 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:17,000 Yeah. Yeah. I'm like the waist up. She just fucking rips their bottom. The bottom couple of tequila shots. 137 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:26,000 I'm in. OK. But now I know that this is bumming you out and I know that it's very terrifying, but I don't want you to fret. 138 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000 All right. There are a couple of ways to combat the man in a gala. 139 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:39,000 First, to prevent them on an angle from entering your home, you can leave small pots of uncooked rice ash or salt around the home, which will deter it from landing. 140 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:50,000 The other way is if you just like happen to stumble across the bottom half of a dismembered woman while out on a nightly stroll, you can sprinkle ash, vinegar or crushed garlic on it, 141 00:12:50,000 --> 00:13:03,000 which sounds more like a recipe than a form of monster slaying. But by doing this, it will prevent the upper half from reattaching to its bottom half, which is which is key since the mountain and gall has an aversion to sunlight. 142 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:10,000 And if it's two halves aren't reconnected before daybreak, the creature will die. It's basically vampire rules. 143 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:21,000 So let's let me ask you this. If the mountain goal top half was able to find a dark place, like a cave or something. 144 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:32,000 I don't know what are the rules. I don't know the bottom half. I think it has to reattach. I think no matter what, it has to be reattached because I think I would just leave it in a dark place. 145 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:41,000 The bottom half. Yeah. Like if I know that like my body is going to rip in half. Right. But I'm going to live through it as long as I get back to the morning. 146 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:48,000 I'm going to leave it in like a tree on someone's roof. Well, I don't want anyone finding that. Well, here you go. 147 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:53,000 So she so obviously the creature knows this that it will die if it goes in the sunlight. 148 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,000 So finding the bottom half of the mountain and gall can be tricky as they do like to hide their legs. 149 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:07,000 Now, where they hide it is in banana fields due to the fact that fell banana stocks already have the appearance of legs and makes them easier to miss if you're just walking by. 150 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:12,000 And I looked it up and that's true. They do banana fields do kind of look like a bunch of legs all over the ground. 151 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:18,000 But I've never seen a banana field before. But also this kind of I just thought of this. 152 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:24,000 How many serial killers in the Philippines got away with just murdering and dismembering bodies and leaving the lower half there? 153 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,000 And then people walk like, oh, I'm going to go. I've got to sprinkle this with some salt and ash. 154 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,000 And then didn't I'm sure so many people took advantage of it. 155 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:38,000 They had to write there had to have been at least one. Oh, right. I'd say at least five. 156 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,000 True. This this story has centuries and centuries and centuries. Oh, yeah. 157 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:50,000 The first recorded like writing of it, I think, came from Spanish missionaries, like when the Spanish took over the Philippines. 158 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:57,000 And I was like, what, the fifteen hundreds? And I'm going to guess so. I'm going to assume that the stories go way further back. Right. 159 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:08,000 Yeah, I don't like this thing at all. Well, Nick, I know you don't like it, but I'm sure you I'm sure you're now wondering how does one become a man. 160 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,000 Is it like a spiritual actually? Yeah, it was very curious. 161 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:19,000 So you're probably thinking, is it a spiritual possession, a curse? Maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's Maybelline. 162 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:28,000 No, there are a few different ways. All of them are involving a black chick like a black baby bird, not. 163 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,000 Yeah, you get it. You say you might want to know it's because it's a black. 164 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:45,000 All right. So one way is if a woman eats a baby black chicken that was produced from the throat of an older, more experienced man in Angola, which your face is saying it all fucking disgusting. 165 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:50,000 Well, my question is, why would you actively seek? Yeah, I don't know. 166 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:58,000 It never said I don't know why you'd want to. But listen, I've woken up and wanted to do like random things before. 167 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:04,000 Right. Like this morning I woke up and was craving a chicken sandwich from Burger King. Right. 168 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,000 But I'm not up the long one or the regular one. 169 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:16,000 The long one. Thank you. Thank Christ. I love the long chicken sandwiches and everyone fucking shits on them because it's really three ingredients, chicken, mayonnaise and lettuce. 170 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:22,000 There's nothing else on it. You get a perfect sandwich. Have you ever had cheese on it? No. Oh, you got to get cheese on it. 171 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:28,000 But I do like to dip mine in the Burger King honey mustard because that honey mustard from Burger King is fucking. 172 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:34,000 You know, I'll tell you what, next time I see you, I'll bring over a couple of chicken sandwiches. We'll get some honey mustard. We'll get one with cheese on it. 173 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:42,000 The cheese is a game changer, though, because I put cheese on chicken. Yeah. Fuck. You know who told me that? Who? My mother. Really? 174 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:50,000 And I was like a kid. She was like, can I do a chicken sandwich with mayo, lettuce and cheese? 175 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:58,000 Like, you can do that. This whole game changer. Ahead of the curve. God damn. A strawberry milkshake to it. Game changer. 176 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:06,000 Game changer. Ultimate meal. I'm going to go get one after this. I'm a sucker for a strawberry. All right. 177 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,000 But what I'm saying is I've never woken up and I was like, I want to become a half demon. 178 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:15,000 So you've never woken up in chosen violence? Well, I mean, I have, but I've never. Not to the extent. 179 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:21,000 I've become like a fucking nightmare creature from, you know, Leviathan. Yeah, dude, this is fucking brutal. 180 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:29,000 All right. Another way you can become a man and on Galle says that you need an egg of a chicken that you're sure contains a black chick and a special ointment. 181 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,000 They don't say what the ointment is. But anyways, so are you ready for this? 182 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:40,000 You put the egg under your armpit and then anoint yourself with the ointment while recite reciting some like incantation. 183 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:45,000 And you keep doing this until the armpit egg has like disappeared. 184 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:51,000 I'm going to assume like inside of your body and not just like crushed under the weight of your arm. 185 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:57,000 But if the ritual is completed successfully, then you will be transformed into a man and on Galle. 186 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,000 There are there are more ways for one to become this thing. 187 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,000 But these are like most widely believed ones. 188 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:14,000 Now, for the reason all these stories involve this bird is because it said that that black chicken, the bird will live inside the man and on Galle. 189 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:19,000 Feasting on its organs to stay alive, like a parasitic symbiotic relationship. 190 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:30,000 And this is the reason the man and on Galle has to feed on the organs or fetuses of others, both to stay alive and assure that the black chicken also lives again, like a symbiotic relationship. 191 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:36,000 Why? I don't know. What is the host getting out of this? 192 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:41,000 They're getting nothing. Well, I mean, during the day, they're like a hot chick. 193 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,000 So they automatically become a hot chick. 194 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,000 It didn't say, but you would think that that would be like there would be like there would be a payoff for this. 195 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,000 And I couldn't find any reason why you'd want to do this. 196 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,000 But I mean, it doesn't sound like there's a payoff. 197 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,000 I mean, unless I don't know, dude, I don't know. 198 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,000 It's folklore, man. I mean, you're right. 199 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:09,000 I mean, I guess with like the Wendigo, there's like an origin story like he like a hunter was trapped in the woods and he feasted upon the flesh and became the first Wendigo. 200 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,000 I have no fucking idea why you'd want to eat a throat chicken. 201 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:21,000 Someone looked at another monitor calls like, I wonder if this is like a charcoaled tasting chicken. 202 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,000 And they ate this chicken and then like they woke up at night and half their body was missing. 203 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,000 What the fuck? And then they ate someone else. 204 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,000 Well, maybe that's what started it. Maybe it's fusion. 205 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,000 Maybe this is just silky propaganda because silkies are black chickens. 206 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,000 The people of the Philippines just fucking hate silkies. That's all it is. 207 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,000 Yeah, that's all it is. 208 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:51,000 Now, luckily, Nick, there is a way to cure a freshman manananggal and get the bird out before it grows like a parasite inside the woman. 209 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000 It's too late to even go from there. 210 00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:01,000 Now, one method is hanging the woman upside down from a tree, fumigating her with smoke. 211 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:09,000 And then you beat her until she throws up the bird or option two, which is a little less violent, but also still terrifying. 212 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,000 You're still going to hang her upside down from a tree. 213 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:16,000 But then you're going to swing her around like a tire swing until she gets nauseous enough to just throw the bird up. 214 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,000 Both, again, sound awful. 215 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,000 Either way, she has to throw up. 216 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000 They both sound awful, but and not like a good time. 217 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:27,000 So, I mean, couldn't you just feed her a bunch of like rotten food and then have her puke? 218 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,000 Where's the fun in that? 219 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:34,000 You get to see somebody puke. 220 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000 Just straight faced. 221 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,000 I want to see that girl puke. 222 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,000 Like, imagine this. 223 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:49,000 There's this one guy in this small Filipino village and he's going around tying people upside down and like making these poor women like puke. 224 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:54,000 And they're like, Jack, this guy's not like these are not manananggal. 225 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:59,000 I will, you know, better be sure. Sorry, got to be thorough. 226 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,000 It turns out he's a weird. He's like an Albert Fish type deal. 227 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,000 Just like it's a weird fucked up sexual fetish. 228 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:12,000 God damn. Puts it in a bowl, calls it chowder. 229 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,000 You did this. You chose this topic. I ran with it. 230 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,000 It was such a bummer. But yeah, but there you have it. 231 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:29,000 This is the tale of the manananggal and its origins and how you can prevent your liver from being sucked out of your nose by a ripped apart flying carcass with a gross ass crazy straw tongue. 232 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,000 Nick, how are you feeling about this? How you feel about the manananggal? 233 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,000 I don't like it. Why? I don't like it at all. 234 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,000 What's wrong with it? 235 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:43,000 Like, listen, it's got a lot of different characteristics of other folkloric creatures, right? 236 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:50,000 You see a lot of like vampiric things. The whole casby, you know, inside before nighttime, you know, it could be attached. 237 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:55,000 You know, we see a lot of eating one thing to becoming another thing. 238 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,000 A lot of like you having to consume the flesh of another human being. 239 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:10,000 You know, that type of stuff. So it's interesting in that aspect that this all of these characteristics create another completely different creature for whatever culture that it's in. 240 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:15,000 I think that's really interesting. But the imagery is horrifying. 241 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,000 Yeah. Horrifying. 242 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,000 So the one thing I wanted to the Oswong. 243 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:28,000 So they don't have like the only reason they exist is to just be evil. 244 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:33,000 Like they have no motive. They're just fucking evil for like no reason. 245 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:38,000 And I thought that was fucking amazing. Like you're wondering why would anyone do this? Why would any. 246 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:48,000 So it says here that although with no specific motive other than harming others, their behavior can be interpreted as an inversion of the traditional Filipinos values. 247 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:53,000 But literally they just have no other reason to do any of this than just to be fucking up people left and right. 248 00:22:53,000 --> 00:23:01,000 I mean, yeah, they literally woke up and chose violence. So I imagine the people that are becoming Montenegos are like assholes to begin with, in which case throw ash on them and all. 249 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:13,000 Throw ash on every single like mean person you see in your Filipino village and see if they pop like a slug. 250 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:20,000 Just carry pocket ash. If you go to the Philippines, carry pocket ash with you, especially if you're pregnant. 251 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:25,000 Yeah. Yeah. Maybe have like a nightlight on or something like. Yeah. 252 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:32,000 Something UV lamps all around you get a nice tan while you're sleeping. Yeah. Basically make your house an entire grow room. 253 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:41,000 Yeah. Cover your ass in ash or your mouth in ash, however they get in. It's all it's all bad. 254 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:49,000 All right, Nick. Well, thank you so much for I guess. What's it called? Enduring this episode. 255 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,000 Again, it was a bummer, but it was a lot of fun. I think this is a fun episode. It was a fun episode. 256 00:23:53,000 --> 00:24:01,000 Listen, Dave, I'll come on whenever you can tell me ridiculous stories about people getting sucked dry by a fucking half demon anytime you want. 257 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:08,000 Dude, the fact that it's entrails are just like hang like. Yeah. It's so that's like the other thing, too. 258 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:13,000 Like it's not like the bottom hat. It's not like the bottom half and the top half turn into two different like it's not a clean cut. 259 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,000 Like they fucking tear their legs off and it's like, oh, so you later. 260 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,000 Well, that's right. And that's my other question is like, how do things not fall out? 261 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:27,000 I don't know. The bird. Maybe the birds keeping it all in there. I have no fucking idea. 262 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,000 I mean, that bird's got a fucking stressful ash job. Intestines are heavy, man. That's the payoff. 263 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,000 All right. So that's what the bird's getting out of the lake. 264 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:42,000 So the host is getting its end is an entrails not completely spattering onto the ground when it takes flight because the bird's holding on. 265 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:49,000 And then the bird gets fetus sucked out like an egg yolk to munch on. 266 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:54,000 OK, you want to go on and I do I don't I don't want to think about this anymore. 267 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,000 I have a date later. You're going to bring you're going to bring this up. 268 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,000 I am you're going to bring this up. I told her I was recording this podcast. 269 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,000 She's she listened to a few of the episodes. I'm sorry for her. 270 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:12,000 She hates my voice, so that's going to be interesting. 271 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,000 Hopefully, you guys are just going to like the movies. You know, the talk was like, 272 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,000 I hate your voice when you're recording or like in person in general. 273 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,000 She can't stand my voice. You're going to date. 274 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,000 Yeah, it's four or five dates of me just being silent. 275 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000 What the don't do that to yourself. 276 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,000 I'm it's it's for the it's for the bit. 277 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,000 Your voice is kind of grating.
