Direct from the Broski Nation headquarters in Los Angeles, California. This is The Brozky Report with your host, Brittany Brozky. Banana. Beido, beto, beto. You know, sometimes I zoom out of what I'm doing, and I realize the people who comment, I don't like her, she's annoying. I get it. I'm having a really deep-seated moment of, like, self-awareness.

self-awareness and the propensity and compulsion to do better. You know, in a different lifetime, though, I would take off the minion hat, I'd take off the dragon helmet, and I would talk about something useful. But that's not this podcast. Stop expecting diamonds from a gold mine. I'm a gold mine. And usually I'm, I am the Webkins cave. What was that called? The Webkin's gym mine.

What I still see suspicion in your eyes? Here I go off. What the fuck is I gonna Google? Oh, Webkin's Diamond Mine. Curiotips and gym locations, gyms. What is it called, though? The gym hunt. Gym mining.

What are the different Webkins Gym mines called? Okay. I don't know what it is about this podcast, but once again, we have landed on some form of a dot fandom.com slash wiki. Last week it was Dragons. This week it's Webkins. Who knows what the fuck else it could get into.

Oh my God, mermaids. I was going to look up mermaids later. Okay. I was going to store that in a separate little tab. Really quick. We'll come back to that. I should start doing that. I should start making tabs of what I want to talk about this episode,

so that way I can look at them and be like, oh, that's right, I was going to talk about this instead of me scrounging around trying to find in the labyrinth of my brain what the actual hell I was about to talk about. Anyway, this website's prompting me to put in my birthday. I'm an adult, I'm a kid. Yeah, I'm an adult.

Yeah, I'm a grown adult. Gems in Webkin's world are gemstones that can be found in the gym mines through the Curio Shop. Yeah, ooh, we know that. What are the different? Oh, wow, these are gorgeous. aren't they? The Webkins Diamond is of course the most valuable. Unicorn horn. I always did like the Yumsum Sparkle. Looks like a sea anemone.

These are just to die for. I'm serious. Oh, loved these. The Seastone. Looks like a seashell. List of mines. And look at, here we go. Let's fucking go. Let's go. The Buried Bones Mine. Okay, guys, tag your side. I'm about to list off all the mines. I want you to think if you were, some form of a gym. Where would you want to be within the Webkins universe here? Geographically located. We're looking at District 12

of the Webkins World Mines. This is, for lack of a better word, it's post-apocalyptic. They're living in quasi-slavery here in District 12, a.k.a. Webkins Gym mines. Okay, there are really, really atrocious human rights violations going down

in the Webkins Gym mines. Artifact, he's a goddamn slaver. Okay? They don't talk about this a lot in the lore of Webkins, and the larger lore of Webkins. It's all fun in games. Oh, you want to go down there

and Jim Mine hunt for gyms? I bet you fucking do. And guess what? You're doing it for free. You're not getting paid to do that shit. We were part of a pyramid scheme as children. Oh, a day in the mines, you might come across something.

But the house always wins. right. R.D. FACT always wins. That old Delf who runs the Curio Shop, he's always going to win. This truly was indoctrinating us. They needed someone to come work the mines and they enticed young individuals like myself

to enter into the mine. Hey, I don't have a life insurance policy. Me at the ripe age of seven down there with my child hands working the mines. Just did, no tools, just digging with my little child hands. Desperate for a Webkin's gemstone, the Webkin's diamond.

Did I ever find it? No. You know what I got? Slag! I got slag! Oh, I got to keep the slag, though. But every time I got a diamond, no, no, no. You sell it back to the man for pennies on the dollar, right? Anyway, all that to say, here are the mines. You guys tell me which one you would be.

Buried Bones mine, muzzlemouth mine. Flea-floater mine, howling horse mine, barking mad mine. I might link my ting from barking 7 a.m. in the morning she's calling. I'm yawning. Guys, remember that TikTok song? Guys, remember? Felt like I did so much. I felt like I did so much. I get Nadia. And I'm in Nadia. You know what's awful is I love Don Tolliver. I love Don Tolliver.

Like probably gonna be one of my most listened to artists this year. TikTok ruined some of those songs for me. Forever and ever, I'm in. I can't hear that shit without picturing Addison Ray in my brain. I like blink and every blink is Addison Ray doing a body roll. And I think I'm better because of it. Okay? I think I'm better because of it.

I'm cultured. This is my culture. That's my team. Team USA comprised of Addison Ray. Well, hell, who else would be on it? Who is y'all's dream cast pick for the Team? It doesn't have to be any specific Olympic event. It could just be, you know, just generally to represent the U.S.

I'd probably put someone like a Rachel Ray. Do you remember Rachel Ray? Does she have any racist allegations? or was that just Paula Dane? I would put somebody from the goddamn food network on Team USA because no, oh my God, Anthony Bourdain. Anthony Bourdain would have been number one hot seat pick for Team USA. May he rest in peace, I miss him every day.

Anthony Bourdain and then maybe like Salonge. I'd put Solange on Team USA. Yeah, and then maybe like DJ Mandy. I'd put DJ Mandy on Team USA Oh, I was saying I might link my team from Bachin 70m in the morning That's what I was saying Okay, yeah, back to the mines A lot of these, I mean, upon reading them again as an adult

Like buried bones mine, what was I doing in there as a child? What was I doing digging around in there? Also, these are not close together The way they've got these positioned on the map This is in between mountains, hills. I mean, I am miles underground. No lunch that day. Because I've got maybe like 30 webs cash,

Webkins cash to my name, and I've spent that 30 bucks trying to feed my fucking son, Marlborough, who is my dog? That's my son, Marlborough. Y'all, I had about 100 Webkins. I'm not joking. I had about probably over 100 Webkins

when I was a child. It was my obsession. Every birthday, every Christmas, I would ask for money so I could go buy a Webkins. And I'd be pissed when someone would get me a Webkins because I'm like, I didn't fucking want that one.

I didn't freaking want that one because now you bought that one for me and it's stupid and dumb I would never buy a cat, Webkins I wanted to dragon unicorn Webkins I wanted all the dogs oh my God I had two Chihuahuas

that were twins twin bitches Twin bitches happen enough to Jetsky you know I had two webkins that were twin chihuahuas and I named them Mia and Tia my twins Big Lake Tia Tamara anyway

yeah I had over a hundred And looking back, like, you know, those memes that are always like, me while my parents were financially struggling during the recession, what do you mean we can't get Chick-fil-A for dinner? I didn't know you guys were fucking broke. Like, me to my parents who were raising three children, like working jobs during a recession, try to keep food on the table. Oh, what do you mean we can't get McDonald's, bro? You guys suck.

I hate it here. I'm going to kill myself. Except that was me providing for my son and Webkins. Okay, yeah, buried bones, howling horse, flea-floater, muzzle-mouth, barking mad mine. You know, I don't like to say this, but a lot of y'all would be in the barking mad mind. A lot of y'all would be. And I wouldn't put you there. I wouldn't do that to you.

But unfortunately, after a lot of psychological evals, because you have to get a psych eval before you go down into the minds. Because, you know, the minds can really take it out of you. the mines can bring you a lot of fortune or they can mentally bankrupt you. So a lot of you guys unfortunately would be sent to the barking mad mind because you failed your psychological evaluation.

And that's okay. Because not all of us can be in the buried bones mind, the flea floaters, you know, like these are the really lucrative but very difficult minds to be in. And it would break a weaker spirit. So, you know, I'll be in the buried bones mine getting my scraps and you guys will be in the barking mad mind and that's okay because i'll come

visit you i'll come i'll smuggle scraps from dinner you know like the what's that scene in hunger games and the one with tom what's his name tom blythe oh wow oh wow i haven't thought about tom blythe in a second tom blythe oh wow oh lord hold on i'm blushing under my minion hat i have not about Tom Blythe in a hot minute. Damn. Shit. That movie, I forgot I saw that movie theaters four times. Damn.

Sending a love heart to you this morning. I'm manifesting a physical love heart. Just grunted one out. No, sending it to you. Okay? Down the sewage pipeline. Okay, so. Oh, wow, hold on.

There are detailed explanations of each of these minds. Oh, y'all. Okay, here we go. For the majority of y'all, the barking mad mind. Is it madness or genius to search for gyms in this mine? Only a truly seasoned miner will know. See, they entice you in that way. You got to be this type of minor.

You got to be a veteran. You got to have served in the Webkins military for 13 plus years. It takes a lot of manipulation to get to the point where you wish you were in the Barking Mad Mine. You know what I mean? Honestly, really kudos to the Webkin's Deep State because that's nuts. That sort of, like this is propaganda when you think about it. So moving on. Flea floater mine, the bugs are about the only small things you'll find waiting to be uncovered and discovered inside.

Okay? You know what else can be found in this mine? the bones of a homicide case because everyone remembers that famous Webkin's true crime podcast that happened where they talked about the human bones the human remains found in the flea-floater mine

everyone knows that, moving on. The howling horse mine, the howling wind will help to whistle while you work along your way to royal riches. I do like actually how a lot of, all of these mine entrances look like what they are. The howling horse mine, of course the entrance is a horseshoe.

The flea-floater mine, you know, just kidding. I don't know what that looks like. But the Barking Mad Mine, it looks like it has teeth. It looks like it has teeth and a little uvula. And muzzlemouth mine, this one has a gate over it. It looks like a muzzle. Many miners have been tight-lipped about just what type of treasures

they've found hidden in this mine because the Webkin's cartel wipes them out afterward. Guys, I talked last week about the Brosky Nation crime syndicate. it's nothing compared to the Webkins one. Okay, this shit runs deep. It is a problem. And the Webkins, DEA, really, you know, they're at their what's in. They can't do much about it.

And let me go ahead and just Google really quick what DEA stands for. The Drug Enforcement Administration. So they're really, they're doing drug busts. They're doing drug busts in the Webkin's minds. All right? Buried Bones Mine It said that this mine has many things other than just gyms

nestled in its Nietzsche's Nietzsche's? Nietzsche. How to pronounce Nietz. Neesh. It's not each? Neesh. Neesh.

Neesh. Neish. Neish. Oh my God. You all remember that video of the guy pronouncing all the food? wrong?

Speggy and Murbles. Peach! Do y'all remember that video? I don't... Who the fuck? Was I watching this with my writers the other day?

I think I was watching this with the Metschkees. Spegian Mervils and Peish that video from like 2008, where it's just the pictures of the... You guys, get what I'm saying? If you have not seen that video,

please. Guys, no one gets me. Neish. Neish. That is the stupidest shit ever. So how come it's not niche. How to pronounce niche British.

At this point in time in the U.S., niche with a C.H is still the more common pronunciation, but niche is gaining ground. Our evidence suggests that in British English, niche is now the more common pronunciation. That is so, so, so, so, so crazy to me. This is from Marion Webster. What a... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold your horses, buddy. Hey, pal. Hey, pump the brakes, pal. When a white guy starts to get mad.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wow, pal. Back up, buddy. Back up, buddy. Whoa, pal. Hey, hey, man, relax. Okay. When I was reading this just now, I need to share with you guys what came over me

because when you start flirting with a new niche interest, with a new hyperfixation. I get that sort of like short of breathness that comes, do you know what I mean? Where like my, I get a little tight in the chest and I get excited and like I can feel my pulse. The last time it happened was with the TikTok ASMR potions.

And before that it was the squish toys. Now, actually before that it was World War II. Now, reading that just now of like, evidence suggests, like from Merriam Webster, the website. Can I say like one more time? I hate, I hate this. I hate this. The Merriam-Webster website explaining that, that language is ever evolving and its meanings can change and its pronunciations can change and new words come from this. And, you know, this region is developing this and it's spreading across because of, you know, anthropology and linguistics. I just love and I never really gave.

it much thought. In a recent TikTok, I talked about graphology and some of you bitches were really interested. And here's the thing. I'm here to help feed that hunger for different disciplines of study, different areas of study. Because graphology, when I was in high school, was a real thing I was interested in. Don't know why. Actually, I do know why, because it was mentioned in Trilock Holmes and I love it. I loved it. Of course I loved it. Graphology is the study of handwriting,

and it can give you an insight into that person's mind. Their mental state, their character traits, you know, maybe some not compulsions, but their tendencies in life. And I think that's so interesting. The slant at which someone writes, the pressure with which they write, what type of utensil they write with,

you know, is it messy, is it legible? are some of the letters, do they write different letters differently at different times? Because all of our handwriting varies, depending on who we're writing for, who it's addressed to, is it a note? Is it a journal entry? Is it a letter? All these things affect. But at the core of it, there are similarities and there's patterns to be observed and learned from. And so graphology, in that sense, is more a study of psychology.

And it's very, very interesting. And so from graphology, that sort of leaned to me into the linguistic side of it, how language is this ever-beating heart is in your hands every day when you wake up, how we choose to wield words and what we make language do, how we can wield it for good or evil is such an, you know, anyway, clicking on this website where it said our evidence, evidence suggests, which means that they're constantly doing research and polls and, we're. What an interesting field of study is what I'm getting at. But it just sparked something in me because this is interesting. I'm going to go back and read it. Maybe Miriam Webster is where I was supposed to work all along. Maybe this internet shit isn't for me. Maybe I'm supposed to be doing research on how to...

Do Americans pronounce it niche or niche? Niche, Pish, Spaggy and Maribbles. Our evidence suggests that in British English, niche is now the more common pronunciation. Okay, I'm going to click on this. one more time. Let's go ahead and get the definition of Nietzsche. A recess and a wall, especially for a statue. A place, employment, status, or activity for which a person or thing is best fitted. A habitat supplying the factors necessary for the existence of an organism or species,

the ecological role of an organism, and a community. Okay. Now, how do you pronounce Nietzsche? There is a debate about how you are supposed to pronounce niche. There are two common pronunciation variants, both of which are currently considered correct. Nietzsche is the more... Oh my God, I'm still saying it wrong. Niche rhymes with sheesh and niche rhymes with pitch. It's supposed to be niche? Now see, because what I did was a combination of both, which I guess is not right.

niche is the more common one and the older of the two pronunciations. It is the only pronunciation given for the word in all English dictionaries until the 20th century, when niche was first listed as a pronunciation variant in Daniel Jones's English-pronouncing dictionary, 1917. Oh, I need to get me a copy of that. Neish wasn't listed as a pronunciation in our dictionaries until our 1961, Webster's third new international dictionary on a bridge, and it wasn't entered into our smaller collegiate dictionary until 1993. All this is to say that the historical pronunciation has been niche, and that niche is a relative newcomer that came about likely under influence from French pronunciation conventions.

What? Yo! At this point in time in the United States, niche is still the more common pronunciation, but niche is gaining ground. Our evidence suggests that in British English, niche is now the more common pronunciation. What an it? Wow, that is so interesting to me. Do you guys not give a fuck?

You guys don't give a fuck about etymology? Oh my God, here we go. The noun and verb is French from middle French, from nicheer to nest from vulgar Latin. Needycare from Latin needus nest. What? Its first use was in 1610. That is nuts to me, y'all. Y'all don't even care.

And it just goes to show that y'all don't really care. Well, glad we spent 20 minutes on that. Glad we really learned about that, guys. What the fuck? Anyway, back to the bone mine. Buried Bones Mine. It's said that this mine has many things other than just gems nestled in its niches. See, now that seems mean.

The way that I just said that word seems mean, but according to Merriam, Merriam Webster, it's correct. Who was bro? How do you have a whole dictionary named after you? Who was Miriam Webster? Just how I've always thought that it's fucked up, that there's a King James version of the Bible. Who was James? There's a Jimmy? There's a Mr. Beast version of the Bible?

The Mr. Beast Bible? No, bro. There's a Mr. Beast dream version of the Bible. No, bro. I'm not reading that, but I'm getting that for a few friends of mine. Going to church and they read out of the Mr. Beast Bible. Okay. Noah Webster is the namesake of Merriam Webster.

Oh, it's hyphenated. It's two names. A company that provides language information to the United States? Just the U.S.? Webster was an American nationalist and lexicographer. I'm farting. Did you guys hear that? I feel so much better.

Oh, that's a surprise one. And it smells god-awful. Lexicographer. A person who compiles dictionaries. Wow, guys, we're learning a lot today. My tonsils are touching each other. Like, I have to not disturb on, don't blast through it. You know what I mean?

Hey, if I have D&D on, why would you blast through it? Because guess what? I don't want to be disturbed, right? I'm addressing the nation. I don't want to talk to you currently. I will get to you in a second. So if I have Do Not Disturb on, why would you notify me anyway? Anyway.

A lexicographer is a person who compiles dictionaries. Does everyone got that? What is a lexicographer? Thank you. Who was Miriam? He was an American nationalist and lexicographer who believed in the cultural independence of the United States, including a distinct American language.

He spent decades research and writing dictionaries to create a single definition of American English, popularizing features that would become hallmarks of American spelling and usage. This is not so. Webster's first dictionary was published in 1806, a compendious dictionary of the English language. It included technical terms from the arts and sciences, as well as features like Cinter, spelled with an ER instead of RE, an Honor with an H-O-N-O-R instead of the British-E. In 1807, Webster began work on a more comprehensive dictionary.

An American dictionary of the English language would took two decades to complete. To help him trace word etymology, Webster learned 26 languages. What the fuck? Y'all, this is nuts. Listen to this. Oh my God, I didn't know any of this. Webster's political agenda was authoritarian and intolerant of difference. and he believed that national spelling reform would lead to national pride and identity.

However, his dictionaries were originally considered a prestige purchase, only affordable to the wealthy. The brothers, George and Charles Miriam, printers from Springfield, Massachusetts, helped transform Webster's dictionaries into a household necessity. In 1982, the company changed its name from G&C Meriam Company to Merriam-Wabstor, Inc, to distinguish its products and emphasize its quality dictionary-making tradition. Today, Merriam-Webster offers award-winning websites and apps that provide language information to tens of millions of visitors each month. That is not so to me.

So he was born in what? 1758. Died in 1843. Can I have a voice crack a little deeper next time maybe? Jesus. It is the oldest dictionary publisher in the United States. That is so kind of scary, actually. I think that's what I'm settling on.

Hold on, let me work through this. So you're telling me that an American nationalist who was intolerant of cultural difference, scary, is now shaping and defining language, now saying what is and is not correct American English. That's nuts to me. that someone just had that idea

and that previously before he existed there was no reference for what a word means, how to properly spell it that's actually impressive no, that's not true at least American English what

when was the first dictionary yeah here we go the first recorded dictionaries date back to Sumerian times around 2,300 BCE and were bilingual The oldest surviving monolingual dictionaries are Chinese dictionaries from around the third century BC. That's nuts. The first purely English alphabetical dictionary was a table alphabetical, written by English school teacher Robert Codry in 1604.

The only surviving copy is found at the Bodleon Library in Oxford. The library. The Bodlin Library in Oxford. Really? It's nuts. So it sounds like there was, I mean, he was a teacher. There probably wasn't, I'm assuming, any malintent behind that of providing an identity to the people who read the dictionary.

Also, you don't read the dictionary. You reference the dictionary. Sorry, that's actually so boring. I'm so sorry. Other podcasts are like, and here's the fucking tea. And mine's like, so when a dictionary was made, American was different from British, and actually we're still trying to decide which one is correct, because technically both are correct. Who fucking cares, dude? I do. Actually,

let me rewind. I do. I care a lot, because this is what I want to talk about. It's important to know how the language we speak was shaped and how it shapes us. And apparently it was legitimized by an American nationalist, who probably was racist. So that's American to its core. Let's talk about mermaids. Is there evidence of mermaids? Don't know why everything here is coming up in minions suddenly. Okay, here it says Bido Bido banana, belo, Casa de mini boss.

Maybe it's like a setting in my Google or something. I don't know why it's, hold on, sorry, guys. Yeah, no, everything, and the pages, yellow and it's saying to like put on my goggles maybe if I had my goggles I could read it better no yeah this is all in minions sorry you guys

I'll just change the language at the top okay here we go according to the national oceanic and atmospheric administration there is no evidence that mermaids or aquatic humanoids have ever existed they just don't see

they don't see Yes, they don't know what I know. They don't know what I've discovered. That the mermaids are very real, and not only are they real, but they speak to me. Yes, they speak to me. Never I'm in a body of water. I hear they whisper across the waves.

They speak to me. I know they're real because they're in my mind, and everything in my mind is real. Horrifyingly real. The National Oceanic and Atmospherent. American administration, yes, a bunch of fucking idiots. They don't know what I know that all my people are real. Chat, is that valid?

Chat, is this real? Chat, is bro valid for thinking mermaids are real? No evidence of aquatic humanoids has ever been found. Mermaids, those half-human, half-fish, sirens of the sea are legendary sea creatures chronicled in maritime cultures since time immemorial. So if we've been talking about it forever and we have sightings, what do you mean they're not real? Just because we don't have a carcass of one displayed in a museum doesn't mean they're not real. And on TikTok, I see people make mermaid potions.

So who's drinking knows if mermaids aren't real? I need you guys to use your fucking brains. Again, some podcasts come on here and they're like spewing really scary, hateful right-wing shit. And people are like, oh, they have a point. That's really actually, that's really true. That's true. If you think about it, I've never thought about it. It's the truth.

It's the truth. And then I'm on here in a similarly harmful way. Like, guys, dragons were real. Mermaids are real. You have to live life with a little bit of whimsy. You have to leave your convictions behind and embrace reality. that mermaids are real, we just haven't caught one, because no one can keep up with them.

And when they die, they sink to the bottom of the ocean. Therefore, humans, our ears would pop, guys. Our ears would pop, and what's that called when divers go to, they go down really far and they acclimate their pressure, whatever, down. But then when you go up to the surface really fast, what's that called? It's not the spins, it's called... It's on the tip of my freaking tongue, bruh. What is it called when divers return, when divers come up too fast?

Decompression. The bins! Decompression sickness, often called the bins. Decompression sickness happens when a scuba diver ascends too quickly. Why do I know this? Divers breathe compressed air that contains nitrogen. At higher pressure underwater, the nitrogen gas goes into the body's tissues. This doesn't cause a problem when a diver is down in the water.

But if you come up too fast, you have to like slowly drop weights off of you or like, you know, acclimate the pressure because when you come up way too fast, you start like shaking and shit. Because what is that? There's nitrogen in your blood. Is that what it is? You can die from it. The nitrogen can form tiny bubbles in the blood and or body tissues causing decompression sickness. Y'all, what the fuck? This is proof that humans should stay on the damn ground.

Get out of the air, get out of the water. This is Mother Nature being like, I said no. Get out. No, get. Mother Nature. When you're, they always say like in planes, it's the highest UV radiation, like it's, you swell up,

you get dehydrated, you're whatever. Get out of the damn air. Get down. I said no. Get down. And get out of the pool. That's literally Mother Nature to us. And we're like, I want to go four miles under water.

And then we do it. Then we come up and we're, there's nitrogen in my blood. There's nitrogen under my skin. There's bubbles under my skin. Mother Nature's like, told you. I told you to get out of the water or else. What I say.

I'll give you a reason to cry. That's what Mother Nature said. She said, quit crying, I'll give you a reason to cry. And then she spanked me. She hit me on my breeches. Oh. The Bins. Do you die from the Bins?

Yes, decompression sickness, also known as the Bins, can be fatal. I knew this. It occurs when dissolved gases like nitrogen form bubbles in the blood and tissues of someone who ascends too quickly from deep water. These bubbles can cause tissue and nerve damage And in extreme cases, paralysis or death If the bubbles enter the brain

And like, what do you do? You put them back under the water? How do you fix the bins? The bins are treated in a hyperbaric recompression chamber. Yeah, you put them back underwater. The doctor will first treat immediate life threats Such as breathing problems or shock. The diver will first treat immediate life threats,

need high flow oxygen and ivy fluids. Oh, that is nuts. Can you fully recover from the bins? The majority of people recover completely. Divers having only itching, skin modeling and fatigue usually do not need to undergo recompression. Now, what the hell is skin modeling? Guys, we learn so much on this podcast. Modelled skin occurs when blood flow to tiny vessels under your skin is disrupted. I'd like to see a photo. Oh! Oh, wait, I get this sometime. Wait, what the hell? Yeah, babies get this. Oh, Jesus.

This results in a fine, bluish-red, lace-like pattern. The condition is also known as Livedo reticularis. Reticularis. What the hell? Oh, it happens before death. And in sepsis. All right, I don't want to know about this. It's going to make me vomit.

Okay, so guys, if you ever go scuba diving or you, You go snorkeling, probably not snorkeling, actually. If you go scuba diving and you go down too far, just know that if you get the bins, just go to a hyperbaric recompression chamber. Okay, guys, this is common knowledge. This is common knowledge. Okay, okay, okay.

Now, back to mermaids. Is there evidence of aquatic humanoids? So again, they're saying no, but in my mind, no just means we don't know yet. we can't know. That's what this is reading as to me because there are those weirdos, okay? There are those weirdos online that are like,

I have a mermaid carcass I found it, it's in my house. It's like, okay, I will never be going to your house. Thank you for letting me know. Thank you for letting me know. Okay, thank you for telling me. See, what the hell is this? Do mermaids exist? scientists begin tests on a 300-year-old what, mummified body to uncover the mystery.

That's what I'm talking about. Oh, look at her. She's gorgeous. And she's in a skim's strapless brawl. Oh, look at her. She is beautiful. She's in a skims. A report that scientists have begun tests on a 300-year-old mermaid mummy to identify its origins

has stimulated an interest in the existence of mermaids in Japanese folklore. Let's lock in to that. Oh, oh, oh, as the name suggests, is a creature with both human and fish-like features described in various pieces of Japanese literature. It translates to human fish, bro. Though often translated as mermaid,

the term is technically not gender-specific. and may include the mer men. The literal translation, human fish has also been applied. This is what I'm talking about! The earliest records of the Niyo attested and written Japanese sources are freshwater beings captured allegedly in the 7th century,

documented later in the Nihon Shokai. But subsequent examples are usually seawater beings. Guys, in the medieval times, times, it was held to be a sign of ill omen, and its beeching was blamed for subsequent bloody battles or calamity. Okay, now, were they fucking?

Were they fucking these fish? You know, the propensity of men is to, if they find something interesting, they try to fuck it. So, if this is folklore, I don't know if they said that they were writing about it in burlesque, in these burlesque novels. Okay, so probably they were

jerking it to the mer men, to the mer people. The mer folk. In Japan, elements of belief and myth linked to the natural world have endured from prehistoric times as an important part of culture and tradition. But the mermaid, as imagined in the Western psyche, does not appear in these accounts. Okay, here we go. The dried mermaid currently undergoing tests was allegedly caught in the Pacific Ocean off the Japanese island of Shikoku, between 1736 and 1741,

and is now kept in a temple in the city of Asakuchi. Examination of the mermaid has led researchers to believe it is a relic from the Edo period, the Bido Bido period. Sorry. From the banana period. It was common for yokai, spirits and entities, and living scary creatures to be displayed for audiences as entertainment and traveling shows similar to the freak shows in the U.S. Crazy. Okay, so now we're seeing that what? that whatever these, you know, myths or if there's supposed to be stories that we teach children

or, you know, if they're campfire stories to teach a sort of lesson of, you know, maybe it be the dangers of immortality. Once again, I dare to bring up on this podcast how you should not want to be immortal. But so much of mythology and these mystical beings, are, I think they're elusive and they're interesting to us because they are immortal. They're described as being immortal. And we're like, what? That's also why they don't. We've never found them.

That's why there's no bodies. Yeah, because they're all still alive. Be serious. So this right here, listen to this. literary and visual representations, particularly anime and manga, of the newly westernized mermaid, have explored the dilemma of enchantment.

Okay, let me read that again. Have explored the dilemma of enchantment. I wish I could highlight that. That's great. I'm going to copy and paste that. These have included perspectives... What? Let me take that again.

These have included perspectives of the mermaid herself and in some cases the person, generally male, who has discovered her existence, bonded with her, then is forced to let her go. This new mermaid now appears to have a place in popular culture, with new tales that attract tourists to the southernmost islands of Japan. The bronze statue of a mermaid, sitting forlornly on a rock on Okinawa's moon beach,

is supposed to represent local legends of beautiful mermaids rescuing people from the depths of a menacing sea. This is a far cry from the ghoulish image of the Niño, the half human fish with the monkey's mouth. That's very interesting because again, if because it's shit like the Loch Ness

monster as well, Bigfoot, where in one region it becomes a thing. Like it's a thing. You know, and I don't know if it's a how would you define cryptid? Crypted. Like an

elusive creature. A cryptid is a creature that is mentioned in folklore or other accounts, but whose existence is questionable. Exactly. So these cryptids that are local to one region where the Loch Ness Monster comes from the Loch Ness Lake, which Lack is Lake. Ness means it's a lake in Scotland.

Large freshwater lock in the Scottish Highlands. Nessie. Lockness Monster Story. Okay, this is from Britannica.com. Much of the alleged evidence supporting the existence of the Loch Ness monster has been discredited, and it is widely thought that the monster is a myth. Reports of a monster inhabiting Loch Ness date back to ancient times. Notably, local stone carvings by the Pict depict a mysterious beast with flippers.

The first written account appears, and what if it's just a dinosaur? What if it's a dinosaur that survive? Here's the photograph. The famous photograph, this is from 1934. Bro, what is that? That's it. That's Nessy. Reports, oh, here we go.

The first written account appears in a 7th century biography of St. Columba. According to that work, in 565 AD, the monster bit a swimmer and was prepared to attack another man when Columba intervened, ordering the beast to go back. It obeyed, and over the centuries, only occasional sightings were reported. Many of these alleged encounters seemed inspired by Scottish folklore, which abounds with mythical water creatures. In 1933, here we go, here's the tea. In 1933, the Loch Ness Monster's legend began to grow.

At the time, a road adjacent to Loch Ness was finished, offering an unobstructed view of the lake. In April, a couple saw an enormous animal, which they compared to a dragon or prehistoric monster, dinosaur. and after it crossed their car's path, it disappeared into the water. This is in 1933. The incident was reported in a Scottish newspaper and numerous sightings followed. In December 1933, the Daily Mail commissioned Marmaduke Weatherill, a big game hunter, to locate the sea serpent. Along the lake's shores, he found large footprints that he believed belonged to a very powerful, soft-footed animal about 20 feet long. However, upon closer inspection, zoologist at the Natural History Museum,

determined that the tracks were identical and made with an umbrella stand or ashtray that had a hippopotamus leg as a base. Weatherill's role in the hoax was unclear. What? Zoologists of the Natural History Museum determined that the tracks were identical and made with an umbrella stand. So they're saying that the creature would have two different feet, or if they had four feet, that there would be some abnormalities. The news only seemed to spur efforts to prove the monster's existence. In 1934, English physician Robert Kenneth Wilson photographed the alleged creature. The iconic image, known as the surgeon's photograph, appeared to show the monster's small head and neck.

The Daily Mail printed the photograph, sparking an international sensation. Many speculated that the creature was a plesiosaur, a marine reptile that went extinct some 65.5 million years ago. That's what I'm saying, it looks like... Plesiosaur. What the fuck! Elasmosaurus. Look at that! It's like a turtle with a super long neck.

What the fuck? I thought it was like a bronosaurus underwater, but this shit, that looks like the Loch Ness monster to me. Hey, oh, I don't know, I think that looks very much looks about right to me. Yeah, that's what I saw. Wait, okay, how do you do Scottish? Sediously. Are you serious? Seriously. Is that Scottish? Or Shrek? Donkey! Okay, okay. I forgot what's going to say. Let's keep going.

The plesiosaur, any of a group of long-necked marine reptiles found as fossils from the late Triassic period into the late Cretaceous period. Pleasiosaurus is at a wide distribution in European seas and around the Pacific Ocean. An early plesiosaur was about 15 feet long with a broad, flat body and a relatively short tail. It swam by flapping its fins in the water, much as sea lions do today. in a modified style of underwater flight the nostrils were located far back on oh my god I have to subscribe to finish the article you bitches who do this need to be shot

Oh, look at all these cryptids Holy shit Oh, I need this on a T-shirt, I think No, I don't Mothman Yeah, you guys heard about Mothman in West Virginia Um

The Flatwoods monster That looks fucking terrifying What the hell's going on in West Virginia? Why are there so many cryptids in West Virginia? Virginia. Where are y'all smoking out there? West Virginia is known for having many cryptid stories, more than any other state, and some say it's because the state's location in Appalachia and the heavy fog in the Ohio Valley. Appalachia is home to a variety of natural flora and fauna and many mysterious and unexplained creatures. Some of the most popular cryptids, some, some, include Mothman, Bigfoot, Justin Monster. Sheep Squatch?

Once again, we've landed on fandom.wiki.com. Y'all, if anyone plays Fallout, can you please tell me what the hell this shit is? Sheep Squatch.

Damn. Okay, here's another one. Snarly Yao and a Cumberland dragon. Snarly Yao. What is this? Oh, my God, what is that? Legend has it that the shadow of a black dog used to prowl the heights of South Mountain.

One night, a huntsman, famous as a sure shot, encountered the beast. He aimed and fired his rifle. The shot went right through the animal with no effect. He fired again and again each shot passing through the shadowy beast. Finally, overcome with dread, the huntsman fled. Okay, so it's just a dog. What is this?

Okay. Snarly Yao, the more you know. Cumberland Dragon. Let's see what's going on there. Cumberland Dragon. Crypted Wiki. Oh, this is what I'm talking about. Brow!

It's like a real dragon. Oh, yeah, that's sick. Fuck. That's so cool. Y'all got dragons in West Virginia? Guys, it all comes back together. Everything on this podcast is a full circle. Closing the loop. Bumping this in your inbox. Closing the loop. I said last week, dragons are real. We've got proof of one in West Virginia. West Virginia, Cumberland Dragon. The following weird blurb was posted in the Caledonian Mercury on December 4th, 1794. four, okay? The Cumberland dragon, also known as Goosefoot, is a lesser-known mystery creature

only reported to have been sighted once near the Cumberland Mountains. Here's the little blurb. In February last, a detachment of mounted infantry, commanded by Captain John Beard, penetrated 15 miles into the Cumberland Mountain. On Cover Creek, inside McDonald and another man, in advance of the party as spies, discovered a creature about three steps from them. It had only two legs and stood almost upright, covered with scales of a black, brown, and light yellow color, in spots like rings, a white tuft or crown on the top of its head, about four feet high, a head as big as a two-pound stone and large eyes of a fiery red. I know this was in America, but I'm imagining 1784 of they still would have had British accents,

right? It stood about three minutes in a daring posture, orders being given not to fire a gun. Mr. McDonald advanced and struck at it with his sword when it jumped at least eight feet and lit on the same spot of ground, sending forth a red kind of matter out of its mouth, resembling blood, and then retreated into a laurel thicket, turning round often as if it intended to fight.

The tracks of it resembled that of a goose but larger. The Native Americans report that a creature inhabits that part of the mountain and of the above description, which by its breath, will kill a man if he does not instantly immerse himself in water. What the fuck? So that's real. Someone commented, are you sure it's a dragon? And someone responded, maybe a basilisk or a cockatrice.

Now what's a cockatrice? What is a cockatrice? What is that? A mythical beast that is part snake and part rooster with a rooster's head legs and wings and the body and tail of a serpent. Oh, it's a basilisk. Now, a basilisk and Harry Potter is just a snake. Just a big ass snake.

Big-aw snake. This is a cock snake. When they talk about a snake cock, this is what I'm imagining. Okay, I guess that's scary, but like, not really. Because that looks cool as fuck. This is, it's literally, imagine like a chicken wings neck head and then it's just got like a snake's tail.
