Yeah, let's talk about I guess That's 00:01:25.579 --> 00:01:28.019 how that's going down. We are going to never 00:01:28.019 --> 00:01:30.700 stop. That's that one. Keep on keeping on. All 00:01:30.700 --> 00:01:34.500 right. What do we got? All right. Today, a story. 00:01:35.819 --> 00:01:39.719 Let me let me set the scene for you. OK. In the 00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:42.719 shadowy depths of. Oh, OK. We've got to set it. 00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.519 Yeah. All right. Here we go. Perfect. In the 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.519 shadowy depths of West Virginia's Appalachian 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.719 forests where legends like Mothman and Bigfoot 00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.239 roam the collective imagination. Lurks a lesser 00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:59.579 known oddity. The vegetable man. What the f***? 00:01:59.900 --> 00:02:03.680 Yeah. The vegetable man. When you told me about 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:07.480 that, I was like, pretty much that was it. Like, 00:02:07.780 --> 00:02:10.340 what? The vegetable man? Yeah, I came across 00:02:10.340 --> 00:02:12.099 that. I was like, I got it. No more. You know 00:02:12.099 --> 00:02:13.879 what? This makes sense because it's like in the 00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:16.300 Appalachian Mountains where they're all like, 00:02:16.460 --> 00:02:20.620 my sister's my mom. Damn vegetables coming after 00:02:20.620 --> 00:02:25.069 me. No offense. I mean. We know that's not a 00:02:25.069 --> 00:02:27.530 real thing. That's a total stereotype. Yeah, 00:02:27.650 --> 00:02:32.289 inbreeding doesn't happen there. Yeah. And well, 00:02:32.969 --> 00:02:36.370 you you let into it. So this works. Oh, I had 00:02:36.370 --> 00:02:41.229 no idea. But so the vegetable man or commonly 00:02:41.229 --> 00:02:44.889 called the veggie man, often mistakenly associated 00:02:44.889 --> 00:02:47.939 with North Virginia. Did a regional mix -ups 00:02:47.939 --> 00:02:51.379 and folk the folklore bleeds this cryptid is 00:02:51.379 --> 00:02:54.719 firm firmly rooted in the northern West, Virginia. 00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:59.680 Oh Mary County West Virginia not just regular. 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:05.479 Virginia. Just Virginia. It's strictly West Virginia 00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:10.740 I Lost my spot already, you know, that's great 00:03:10.740 --> 00:03:13.500 because of all the awesome comments that we would 00:03:13.500 --> 00:03:16.710 get on social media where somebody has to be 00:03:16.710 --> 00:03:21.469 like, oh, hey, you just like learn to talk before 00:03:21.469 --> 00:03:25.229 you say stuff. You're right. I should. OK, I'm 00:03:25.229 --> 00:03:28.069 not going to disagree with you. Yeah, 100%. You're 00:03:28.069 --> 00:03:33.129 right. But also mostly because you're not going 00:03:33.129 --> 00:03:36.129 to watch the whole thing. You watch the 15 second 00:03:36.129 --> 00:03:38.009 clip that I put up. We'll just not make a clip 00:03:38.009 --> 00:03:41.169 of that. Yeah. And no one will know. You have 00:03:41.169 --> 00:03:44.580 no idea. Whatever. You know, I just stop. I was 00:03:44.580 --> 00:03:46.759 like, I can't look at this stuff all day long. 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:48.740 I'm just going to delete it on there. Like, it's 00:03:48.740 --> 00:03:50.520 good if everybody else is following along. Like, 00:03:50.740 --> 00:03:53.219 I can't. I keep looking at it. And then I want 00:03:53.219 --> 00:03:59.419 to be like, did you? I'm like, I don't know. 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:01.759 I don't know why I get even upset. Like, why 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:03.500 does it matter? Like, I don't know this guy. 00:04:03.500 --> 00:04:05.300 Who cares? They hate us because they ain't us, 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:09.560 man. Exactly. Probably not. But whatever everybody 00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.159 is just that's what you do. If you want to get 00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.460 the most comments, our biggest thing is the one 00:04:14.460 --> 00:04:16.680 that triggers people. It's like, oh, what are 00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:18.699 you? I don't even remember what the video was 00:04:18.699 --> 00:04:24.000 about. The Moss at the Moss. Yeah. And people 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:25.220 get off. If you haven't seen that one, go check 00:04:25.220 --> 00:04:27.100 it out. The Mima Mounds went and checked it out. 00:04:27.579 --> 00:04:30.019 Solved some mysteries maybe. Yeah, I solved that. 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:31.879 It's just a bunch of hills that I don't know 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:34.160 what made it and nobody does and neither do you. 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:36.939 So we talked to some people on the scene. It 00:04:36.939 --> 00:04:38.459 was a good one. Go check it out. Yeah, there 00:04:38.459 --> 00:04:41.110 were aliens there. Alien people.

I Love his channel and 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:14.600 that's why I wanted to represent a little bit 00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:19.160 for him. Shout out to mark if he ever sees this 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:25.120 He talked about this movie a lot of youtubers 00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.699 talk about this movie and It almost sounds exactly 00:07:28.699 --> 00:07:33.300 like this. Okay in a way Just to sum it up. We'll 00:07:33.300 --> 00:07:35.220 have to actually sit down and just watch this 00:07:35.209 --> 00:07:40.730 like and and the the key might be something well 00:07:40.730 --> 00:07:50.430 watch this um to sum it up this family is doing 00:07:50.430 --> 00:07:52.670 an exchange with another family from out in the 00:07:52.670 --> 00:07:54.779 country and they live in the city And apparently 00:07:54.779 --> 00:07:56.379 this is supposed to be a normal thing. I've never 00:07:56.379 --> 00:07:59.100 heard of that in my life. Switch homes. Yeah, 00:07:59.100 --> 00:08:01.439 we're going to go be farmers for a week. That's 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.920 weird. Yeah. And it's this town called Nilbog. 00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.160 Well, when they get to the town, the kid realizes 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.079 that the town spelt backwards is Goblin. The 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:12.519 movie is called Troll 2, mind you. In the town 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.139 of Goblin. Yes. Well, it was made by, I believe, 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:17.639 this French director. I don't know if he's really 00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:19.379 ever done movies before, but it was like, this 00:08:19.379 --> 00:08:21.279 is my passion. And this is where I feel like 00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:23.709 maybe this is us. This guy doesn't know what 00:08:23.709 --> 00:08:26.829 the hell he's doing, but he was really passionate 00:08:26.829 --> 00:08:30.230 about it. Somehow it made this weird icon of 00:08:30.230 --> 00:08:34.450 a movie that is just so bad. So the goblins, 00:08:35.610 --> 00:08:39.309 yeah, goblins in the movie, their favorite food 00:08:39.309 --> 00:08:42.490 is plants, but it can't just be plants. It's 00:08:42.490 --> 00:08:46.070 got to be plants that were made from people, 00:08:46.409 --> 00:08:48.549 and they feed them this thing that turns them 00:08:48.549 --> 00:08:50.980 into plants. It's like... reverse vegetarians 00:08:50.980 --> 00:08:52.740 when they're like, oh, we're going to eat meat. 00:08:53.539 --> 00:08:56.720 Oh, well, we just made too quirky, but we put 00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.779 a bunch of weird things and plumped it up and 00:08:58.779 --> 00:09:00.379 try to make it taste like it. So it's like a 00:09:00.379 --> 00:09:03.059 weird reversal. And the guy's wife wrote it because 00:09:03.059 --> 00:09:07.279 she hated vegetarians. And anyway, it sounds 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:10.019 kind of like the vegetable man to me. You know, 00:09:10.019 --> 00:09:11.779 that's where you might have ended up getting 00:09:11.779 --> 00:09:14.419 it is these vegetable people just reminded me 00:09:14.419 --> 00:09:17.139 of it. Oh, we can we go back to the story unless 00:09:17.139 --> 00:09:20.480 you got input on that because We've never seen 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.419 the movie. We should totally watch that. I'll 00:09:22.419 --> 00:09:24.659 check it out. Well, we'll do that sometime All 00:09:24.659 --> 00:09:29.200 right.

I think you could just skip this is okay 00:11:36.740 --> 00:11:40.460 This is where I'm thinking this this is a kind 00:11:40.460 --> 00:11:45.100 of stupid alien The best way to freak somebody 00:11:45.100 --> 00:11:47.059 out is be like, hey, I'm talking to you. You 00:11:47.059 --> 00:11:48.840 know, you normally use your mouth for all that 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:51.419 I'm using my brain to talk with you. But check 00:11:51.419 --> 00:11:54.659 this out. Um, yeah, I come from the moon and 00:11:54.659 --> 00:11:57.120 You could have just walked up and like hey, man, 00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:59.419 I need help Yeah, even though you're eight foot 00:11:59.419 --> 00:12:01.419 tall, I think you would have got a better response. 00:12:01.419 --> 00:12:04.000 I agree. I'm just saying that seems like a bad 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:08.360 way to approach it. So, okay. At that point, 00:12:08.539 --> 00:12:10.799 things turned horrific when the vegetable man 00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:13.779 lashed onto Frederick's arm with its suction 00:12:13.779 --> 00:12:18.759 cup fingers tipped with sharp needle -like thorns. 00:12:19.179 --> 00:12:21.360 These pierced his skin deeply, drawing blood 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:24.120 in a vampiric extraction that lasted about a 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.659 minute. Imagine the pain of multiple hypodermic 00:12:26.659 --> 00:12:30.000 needles burrowing in sucking vital fluid without 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:33.039 resistance. This sounds like Hollywood. Frederick 00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:37.580 felt a jolt with but no lasting injury. The creature 00:12:37.580 --> 00:12:40.320 released him expressed gratitude telepathically 00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:44.200 and fled uphill with leaps covering 25 feet or 00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:46.899 more leaving a faint sulfurous odor. Thanks for 00:12:46.899 --> 00:12:51.460 the blood bro. Peace out. Later. Bounce. Frederick 00:12:51.460 --> 00:12:55.559 kept silent initially fearing ridicule. Oh yeah 00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:59.250 understandable. but later shared with Barker, 00:12:59.629 --> 00:13:02.529 who sensationalized it as an alien encounter. 00:13:02.769 --> 00:13:05.850 No photos exist, only sketches and retellings. 00:13:07.129 --> 00:13:09.450 Well, that all makes perfect sense to me. Next 00:13:09.450 --> 00:13:12.590 story. No, there's more. The vegetable man is 00:13:12.590 --> 00:13:19.590 described as a semi -humanoid abomination. Abdomination. 00:13:19.809 --> 00:13:22.429 Words are hard sometimes. I know. Blending plant 00:13:22.429 --> 00:13:26.820 and flesh in ways that equal parts bizarre. Aw, 00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:30.039 man. Blending plants and flesh in a way that's 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:32.740 equal parts bizarre and horrifying. Standing 00:13:32.740 --> 00:13:35.179 over seven feet tall, it's slender and stalk 00:13:35.179 --> 00:13:38.820 -like, with fibrous green skin resembling vines 00:13:38.820 --> 00:13:42.919 or reeds. So it's like a Batman villain. Yeah, 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:46.440 made out of wood and stuff. Or Groot. No distinct, 00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:50.200 yes. It's a Groot. It's a Groot. Oh, all right. 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:53.620 Yes. No distinct head, just two large, oscillating 00:13:53.620 --> 00:13:56.720 yellow and red eyes. on flexible stalks protruding 00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:59.840 from its upper torso flanked by pointed elf -like 00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:03.500 ears. Its arms are reed thin, ending in three 00:14:03.500 --> 00:14:06.000 -fingered hands with suction cups and those infamous 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:09.740 thorn -tipped needles. I should say needle -tipped 00:14:09.740 --> 00:14:13.259 thorns, maybe? I don't know. Perfect for impaling 00:14:13.259 --> 00:14:16.340 flesh and draining blood without mercy. It moves 00:14:16.340 --> 00:14:18.919 with gliding, silent grace, emitting a high -frequency 00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:21.539 whine and possesses superhuman speed and agility. 00:14:21.850 --> 00:14:24.309 If encountered, it could theoretically latch 00:14:24.309 --> 00:14:30.649 on, pierce arteries, and ex... Oh man, extenuate... 00:14:30.649 --> 00:14:35.470 I'm sorry. My parents are so proud of me right 00:14:35.470 --> 00:14:40.409 now, probably. My dad doesn't see this and say, 00:14:40.870 --> 00:14:43.990 had a boy son. Good job, this is why your guys' 00:14:44.149 --> 00:14:48.809 channel sucks and fails. Anyway, maybe we'll 00:14:48.809 --> 00:14:50.750 put the picture up, but they gotta... That's 00:14:50.750 --> 00:14:55.870 the oh, yeah Okay, it looks like the dr. Seuss 00:14:55.870 --> 00:14:59.570 version of the hobgoblin kind of okay. Well, 00:14:59.570 --> 00:15:03.590 we'll put it up on screen I'm not gonna actually 00:15:03.590 --> 00:15:06.129 put it. It's not impressive, but I'll put it 00:15:06.129 --> 00:15:08.830 up on screen somewhere here Yeah, just so you 00:15:08.830 --> 00:15:10.549 guys can see the stupid picture. We're looking 00:15:10.549 --> 00:15:14.929 at because we have to look at it. Yes I don't 00:15:14.929 --> 00:15:18.629 know. I'm not trying to rip on whoever drew that 00:15:18.629 --> 00:15:22.500 thing but Some kid maybe I am I could draw better 00:15:22.500 --> 00:15:25.720 than that. I think we worked with this guy before 00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:29.679 I Think we know I don't have you ever seen that 00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:35.500 that Maddox book No, oh my god, I had the book 00:15:35.500 --> 00:15:38.139 it was the funniest thing I've ever seen in my 00:15:38.139 --> 00:15:41.679 life And this is where I would get a lot of my 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:46.080 like humor Does I just rip on stuff? And it's 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:48.220 not because like, oh, I really hate this person. 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:50.659 It's just like, it's fun to make fun of people. 00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:55.960 And so like, he would take all these kids' pictures 00:15:55.960 --> 00:16:02.679 and rate them. And of course, it's kids' pictures. 00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:06.080 So he'd just be like, that looks like ass. I 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:11.860 can draw way better than that. Yeah, he had a 00:16:11.860 --> 00:16:14.539 whole book. and it started out on this Internet 00:16:14.539 --> 00:16:18.419 web page that he made. And eventually he made 00:16:18.419 --> 00:16:20.220 a book and I found out about like, I have to 00:16:20.220 --> 00:16:22.340 buy that book. And I don't know where it went 00:16:22.340 --> 00:16:25.039 once in a while. I pull it out and bring it. 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:26.899 I think I brought to work one day. I was like, 00:16:26.899 --> 00:16:29.500 you guys got to read this book. It's hilarious. 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:31.580 And brought a picture book to work. Yeah, it 00:16:31.580 --> 00:16:33.440 was a picture book where he basically like, oh, 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:35.320 look at this cool Batmobile that drew. He's like, 00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:37.940 well, it looks like absolute I can draw way better 00:16:37.940 --> 00:16:39.700 than that. Look at this. And then like he can 00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:43.269 actually draw. But well, of course you can't 00:16:43.269 --> 00:16:46.190 but it's part of the joke. So remember all the 00:16:46.190 --> 00:16:48.649 dumb things I say is like Billy Madison playing 00:16:48.649 --> 00:16:51.929 dodgeball. Yeah, you just hammer on those kids. 00:16:51.970 --> 00:16:54.970 Well, it was fun. Yeah. Well, but he do ball. 00:16:55.309 --> 00:16:58.950 It's dodgeball. So it's all it's all, you know, 00:16:59.009 --> 00:17:02.570 take it with a grain of salt because people are 00:17:02.570 --> 00:17:04.849 really harsh on the Internet. If you haven't 00:17:04.849 --> 00:17:07.029 noticed, it's people will let you hear it like 00:17:07.029 --> 00:17:09.210 that. Give it to you straight. Well, and that's 00:17:09.210 --> 00:17:11.700 it's not even straight. It's just them like Watch 00:17:11.700 --> 00:17:19.299 this. Screw you, guy. It's a lot of that. I don't 00:17:19.299 --> 00:17:22.839 like how the internet and all this new technology 00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:24.740 has come up in our generation has made it so 00:17:24.740 --> 00:17:27.920 like people just... They would never tell you 00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:30.579 that stuff face to face. No. Because you'd catch 00:17:30.579 --> 00:17:34.519 the hands, you know? Yeah. But people are like 00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:37.279 window warriors, you know? It's like, oh, well, 00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:39.859 I'm safe, so I'm just going to... Trying to eviscerate 00:17:39.859 --> 00:17:42.119 you verbally. It's a good and really hurts your 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:45.019 feelings because it's not Opposed you pose no 00:17:45.019 --> 00:17:47.480 risk to me. So I'm just yeah Well, and sometimes 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:50.180 you just I mean you say stuff whatever and then 00:17:50.180 --> 00:17:52.759 people get offended and it's like I don't really 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:55.240 mean like I don't even care just saying stuff 00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:57.940 but there's a good example where say people just 00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:01.240 The internet's real and then I'll just say whatever 00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:03.539 I want like that youtuber that was going He's 00:18:03.539 --> 00:18:05.019 like all just like hitting on your girlfriend 00:18:05.019 --> 00:18:06.900 in front of you in front of Larry Wills and he's 00:18:06.900 --> 00:18:10.759 oh, yeah what? Just slaps him in the face and 00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:12.220 then I don't even know a little almost looks 00:18:12.220 --> 00:18:15.119 like it's the same place and starts talking to 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:17.900 the former MMA guy and he's just like Cotton 00:18:17.900 --> 00:18:20.500 elbow. I don't like the way you're talking to 00:18:20.500 --> 00:18:22.839 me. I don't even like you and he's like, yeah 00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:25.220 Well, I don't like you.

Okay elbow right to the face 00:18:33.180 --> 00:18:36.619 and Then that guy started crying like you know 00:18:36.619 --> 00:18:39.359 what? That's how things are supposed to go, but 00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:42.779 we have this weird internet Thing we're like 00:18:42.779 --> 00:18:45.279 like this. I'll just say whatever I want and 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:47.339 then people say whatever they want and you know 00:18:47.339 --> 00:18:50.000 would be awesome If that guy saw this, I was 00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:52.599 like, I'm going to go talk shit to that guy. 00:18:53.900 --> 00:18:56.460 See if I can get him to slap me too. Yeah. You 00:18:56.460 --> 00:18:58.400 know, that's probably all he was doing is like, 00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:00.119 oh, I'm just going to talk a bunch of smack. 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:03.500 And when I get smacked, people will watch. If 00:19:03.500 --> 00:19:07.539 I knew the video would go viral, like the next 00:19:07.539 --> 00:19:10.240 day, I'd let one of those dudes slap me or elbow 00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:12.900 me in the face. Like if you've seen Mike Tyson, 00:19:14.299 --> 00:19:15.920 he was part of this thing where like, oh yeah, 00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:18.069 would you fight Mike Tyson? And then... They 00:19:18.069 --> 00:19:19.829 were talking into this microphone. They're like, 00:19:19.829 --> 00:19:23.710 oh, yeah Yeah, I would I would take him out man. 00:19:23.829 --> 00:19:25.809 Whatever mike tyson's a punk and then he'd jump 00:19:25.809 --> 00:19:30.769 out and be like, hey man, what's up?
