[SPEAKER_03]: forever.
5:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
5:36
[SPEAKER_02]: How was the devil box powered in the 1500s?
5:39
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't get a laptop battery to last over two hours of twenty to twenty six.
5:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks for the entertainment and thought provoking quite.
5:48
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what?
5:48
[SPEAKER_02]: That's fair.
5:50
[SPEAKER_03]: That is fair question.
5:51
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
5:56
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's what we do here.
5:57
[SPEAKER_02]: We spark your brains to ask these questions.
6:02
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a valid question.
6:05
[SPEAKER_02]: It is about a question, I don't have an answer, but if I can figure it out, I'll get back to you.
6:10
[SPEAKER_02]: If I can, once I build the time travel machine, which I'm going to do, oh, I don't know, I'm going to build it, but I'm going to volunteer myself to time travel.
6:18
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll go back to the 1500s and I'll figure out how it's powered.
6:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, maybe they just got like a mule walking on a thing and like a water, like a water mill.
6:29
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's like one of those like blade sharpeners or like a
6:34
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, butter, churner mill.
6:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Bipersinereo.
6:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Now I got to look up how long it is.
6:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Butter, churner, mill blade sharpener.
6:47
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, same system that then I just hooked a bike chain up to and.
6:53
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel better.
6:56
[SPEAKER_02]: If you were alive in the 1500s, you'd be rich.
7:00
[SPEAKER_02]: because you think they'll help with the butter, churner, knife, sharpener.
7:03
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
7:04
[SPEAKER_02]: And people would have just flocked to, that had been two birds, one stone.

8:23

8:30
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what, I get it.
8:31
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, on that note, Kyle's bringing you the leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy, leechy
8:58
[SPEAKER_03]: It started with the whole like predator narrative, and then it started turning into these weird forest dwelling entities, and this is another one that makes me never want to go in the woods.
9:09
[SPEAKER_03]: It's fucking bizarre.
9:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah.
9:13
[SPEAKER_03]: The less you kind of existed before the modern ideas of monsters, cryptic cryptids, or even
9:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Slavic cultures in the natural world are viewed the natural world very differently.
9:32
[SPEAKER_03]: The forest was essentially alive.
9:37
[SPEAKER_03]: Across regions that are now Russia, Ukraine, Bolarius, and parts of Eastern Europe, vast forests stretch for miles with little to no human control.
9:48
[SPEAKER_03]: These weren't small-witted areas by any means.
9:50
[SPEAKER_03]: They were dense, ancient, and often dangerous environments
9:57
[SPEAKER_03]: To the people who lived near them, the forced was an empty land.
10:00
[SPEAKER_03]: It was inhabited.
10:01
[SPEAKER_03]: And one of the primary being said in habit, it was the Leshi.
10:06
[SPEAKER_03]: The Leshi often appears as a masculine humanoid.
10:09
[SPEAKER_03]: It possesses an ability to disguise itself as any person, including changing in size and stature.
10:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Some accounts describe the Leshi as having a wife and children.
10:21
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm gonna go kind of all over the place here,
10:25
[SPEAKER_03]: with the descriptions of Lashy, because they are everywhere.
10:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I imagine so.
10:33
[SPEAKER_02]: It's essentially a shapeshifter.
10:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but I mean, the power of this thing is fucking crazy.
10:41
[SPEAKER_02]: The last one was OP.
10:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that's one good thing.
10:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, this one's worse.
10:44
[SPEAKER_03]: This one's worse.
10:45
[SPEAKER_03]: This one's worse.
10:46
[SPEAKER_03]: As far as being OP, like this is the most OP I think I've ever read about.
10:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Unacceptable.
10:52
[SPEAKER_03]: The less she comes from pre-Christian Slavic belief, where the world was understood being filled with spirits and tied to natural forces, not gods in the traditional sense, and not demons either, something more in between, although the less she is known to misguide wanderers
11:22
[SPEAKER_03]: the quote unquote black one or the devil, which will lead some to believe the less she is a malevolent entity.
11:29
[SPEAKER_03]: And this is very, can forth to, if it's malevolent or but not malevolent.
11:38
[SPEAKER_02]: So if it's doing bad things, probably malevolent, but if it's doing good things, yeah.
11:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Not so bad.
11:45
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's, it's almost just like that.
11:52
[SPEAKER_03]: kind of, yeah, yeah.
11:55
[SPEAKER_03]: So you have to be careful with the word the word short as well.
12:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I looked into it to see kind of what it meant.
12:04
[SPEAKER_03]: And in check and slavic culture, it's not actually seen as an evil entity, even though it kind of is,
12:13
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess it's seen more of like a trickster that will attempt to trick you into selling your soul for something like money or power.
12:22
[SPEAKER_03]: However, it does have the ability to trick you and basically give you shit.
12:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Here we are.
12:30
[SPEAKER_03]: The object of this interaction is for you to trick it because there
12:43
[SPEAKER_03]: and actually tricked it into, say, building a castle in, like, record time.
12:48
[SPEAKER_03]: Genius.
12:50
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
12:50
[SPEAKER_03]: That it just, you have to be able to trick thing.
12:53
[SPEAKER_02]: even a trickster.
12:54
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like it was trying to trick you to sell your soul.
12:57
[SPEAKER_02]: That's pretty militant.
12:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:00
[SPEAKER_03]: And this is the chore, not to be confused with the Leshi.
13:03
[SPEAKER_03]: It is this role.
13:05
[SPEAKER_01]: And the chore, the chore, I mean, say chore, I try not to crack up.
13:10
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just a basically fuck.
13:11
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just gonna start calling it Jords.
13:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
13:14
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like a cross between a chode and Jords chore.
13:18
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know, I think it's like cacky gene shorts
13:23
[SPEAKER_02]: you're right.
13:24
[SPEAKER_02]: It is.
13:24
[SPEAKER_03]: I know I am.
13:25
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a pair of khaki pants walking around trying to get you a sell your soul.
13:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, I hope they're the zip pants that you can zip off the bottoms and turn into shorts.
13:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Big ol pockets on the side.
13:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
13:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah, fuck yeah.
13:40
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
13:41
[SPEAKER_03]: So in in Ukraine culture,
13:44
[SPEAKER_03]: or is more of a generalized concept for unclean forces.
13:49
[SPEAKER_03]: So you can almost answer any demonic being in its place.
13:52
[SPEAKER_03]: It's also described as a failed demon, which kind of actually sucks for that thing.
13:57
[SPEAKER_03]: He has to be pretty bad to be a failed demon.
13:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, how did you mess that up?
14:01
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what I'm saying.
14:02
[SPEAKER_03]: All you gotta do is be a dick.
14:05
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I might have made it to demon with a conscience, I guess, I don't know.
14:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Now we're just struggling to get people to sell their souls.
14:10
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like, if I get enough souls,
14:16
[SPEAKER_03]: So some people would label the Leshi as the keeper of the forest, the master of animals and the intelligence behind the wilderness itself.
14:28
[SPEAKER_03]: The Leshi doesn't roam the forests, it belongs.
14:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Every forest in some traditions has its own Leshi, a localized intelligence tied directly to that land.
14:43
[SPEAKER_03]: which is actually very interesting when you cross-reference some things are some of the appearances of this thing.
14:50
[SPEAKER_03]: So it appears as a human at a distance, but something's wrong.
14:56
[SPEAKER_03]: It's size can change from small to towering over trees.
15:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Its body can resemble bark, moss, or shadow.
15:04
[SPEAKER_03]: Its eyes are often described as glowing or unnatural.
15:10
[SPEAKER_03]: I also read it read accounts where they call it the wild man or hairy man and have the description of eating clams or shaking trees, which sounds just like bigfoot.
15:26
[SPEAKER_03]: What?
15:27
[SPEAKER_03]: Dude, it's fucking bizarre.
15:31
[SPEAKER_03]: I also find it very interesting when you look at it like that.
15:33
[SPEAKER_03]: The fact that this thing has the ability to change its appearance.
15:37
[SPEAKER_03]: insert Bigfoot here and how it primarily a forest well encrypted.
15:42
[SPEAKER_03]: Then you look back at the fleshie and how it can make people disappear, confuse them, and so on.
15:49
[SPEAKER_03]: All I'm saying is look at Bigfoot map and the missing persons map.
15:54
[SPEAKER_03]: That's kind of fucking weird.
15:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Is it an entity that's taking
16:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Is it mimicking a big foot to give the big foot a bad name?
16:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely good.
16:14
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely good.
16:16
[SPEAKER_02]: It is OP.
16:17
[SPEAKER_03]: It's OP as fuck.
16:21
[SPEAKER_03]: So in Russian folklore, the Leshi is the embodiment of the force itself, combining animal,
16:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it can turn into a whirlwind.
16:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
16:34
[SPEAKER_02]: So it has meaning devil.
16:35
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
16:36
[SPEAKER_03]: That's probably where it has meaning devil came from.
16:38
[SPEAKER_03]: The cartoon, obviously.
16:40
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you're listening and you hear these terms like OP and you don't have any idea what we're talking about, it's overpowered.
16:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's what OP stands for.
16:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Overpowered means it's abilities need to be nerfed.
16:55
[SPEAKER_02]: And nerf means need to be taken down a notch.
17:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, we didn't, we didn't nerf you, sir.
17:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
17:04
[SPEAKER_02]: He needs to be nerfed.
17:05
[SPEAKER_02]: You can't, you.
17:06
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree.
17:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Shape shift into other cryptid.
17:10
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
17:10
[SPEAKER_03]: I agree.
17:11
[SPEAKER_02]: That's unacceptable.
17:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree.
17:14
[SPEAKER_02]: And hollow world.
17:16
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to choose a lane.
17:17
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to stay in it.
17:19
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't get to be in it.
17:20
[SPEAKER_03]: That's how we like our, that's how we like our stuff.
17:23
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't get to be every cryptid.
17:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you don't get to choose to be tube a copper one day and then choose to be the loveling frog man another day.
17:32
[SPEAKER_03]: I agree.
17:34
[SPEAKER_03]: It's too confusing.
17:34
[SPEAKER_03]: That means we can't document you.
17:36
[SPEAKER_02]: No, get it together.
17:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
17:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
17:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Letchy, Lishy, Lishy.
17:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to start calling people short because that cracks me up.
17:47
[SPEAKER_02]: It's awesome.
17:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you, you fucking short.
17:55
[SPEAKER_03]: In ancient tales, the Leshi is more depicted as a being that is part plant and part human.
18:02
[SPEAKER_03]: When it's seen this way, it generally leans more to one side of the other.
18:07
[SPEAKER_03]: It doesn't matter which way it leans, it just leans to one of the other.
18:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Also interesting because it makes me think of hellier in the green man.
18:14
[SPEAKER_03]: And just like the Leshi is said to be in every forest, the green man is seen all over the entire world.
18:27
[SPEAKER_03]: Fucking crazy.
18:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Now my brain is go like, yeah.
18:34
[SPEAKER_02]: All folklore has to have like a tincture of truth behind it.
18:39
[SPEAKER_03]: I would think so, yes.
18:40
[SPEAKER_02]: I would think so, yes.
18:41
[SPEAKER_02]: I would think so, yes.
18:42
[SPEAKER_03]: I would think so, yes.
18:45
[SPEAKER_03]: I would think so, yes.
18:46
[SPEAKER_03]: I would think so, yes.
18:47
[SPEAKER_03]: I would think so, yes.
18:48
[SPEAKER_03]: I would think so, yes.
18:49
[SPEAKER_03]: I would think so, yes.
18:50
[SPEAKER_03]: I would think so, yes.
18:50
[SPEAKER_03]: I would think so, yes.
18:51
[SPEAKER_03]: I would think so, yes.
18:52
[SPEAKER_03]: I would think so, yes.
18:53
[SPEAKER_03]: I would think so, yes.
18:54
[SPEAKER_03]: I would think so, yes.
18:55
[SPEAKER_03]: I would think so, yes.
18:56
[SPEAKER_03]: I would think so, yes.
18:57
[SPEAKER_00]: up.
18:59
[SPEAKER_03]: It is, it is an extremely prominent image over the planet.
19:07
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
19:08
[SPEAKER_03]: Weird.
19:09
[SPEAKER_03]: It's fucking weird.
19:11
[SPEAKER_03]: So very interesting though, when it's depicted as a plant, human hybrid, it's amazing how the descriptions can be.
19:19
[SPEAKER_03]: So he can be portrayed as a
19:26
[SPEAKER_03]: In human form, it would take more, it would take on more woodland traits like long tangled green hair, which resembles tree branches, a beard made of lichen, light-flight and biking, yeah.
19:44
[SPEAKER_03]: And clothing and skin, the color and texture of bark.
19:49
[SPEAKER_03]: In some cases, though,
19:56
[SPEAKER_03]: wand, a green beard, green eyes, clothing.
20:01
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's kind of interesting to think that you could have met someone with green eyes and a leaf earrings, and it could have been the leshi.
20:17
[SPEAKER_03]: Because also said in some depictions, the leshi has red hair in some versions of it, it has red hair.
20:26
[SPEAKER_02]: And he can legit legitimately just be a mushroom.
20:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess.
20:34
[SPEAKER_03]: I hope you could just see a mushroom or I'm walking around the forest.
20:36
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, that's lucky or it could just be a tree ranch.
20:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, or some moss.
20:44
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, because I guess I guess in theory, the less she is the forest spirit.
20:50
[SPEAKER_03]: And the less the less she is the forest, they do not believe the less she
20:55
[SPEAKER_03]: Rome to the forest, they believe that she was the forest.
20:59
[SPEAKER_03]: I get almost inhabited everything.
21:01
[SPEAKER_02]: And how would you even know?
21:03
[SPEAKER_03]: It's literally impossible unless he wants to be seen.
21:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Unless, yeah.
21:11
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the only way, unless it wants to be seen.
21:13
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the only way.
21:15
[SPEAKER_03]: That's not acceptable.
21:17
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
21:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Thought they enough going into the woods.
21:21
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why I'm never going into the woods.
21:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah.
21:24
[SPEAKER_02]: And now I got to deal with people with green eyes probably probably be in the leshi.
21:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
21:28
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
21:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
21:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Dude's got a Hawaiian print mushroom shirt on probably or leshi.
21:34
[SPEAKER_03]: He's a leshi.
21:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
21:35
[SPEAKER_02]: For sure.
21:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I wouldn't trust somebody with a mushroom shirt on anyway.
21:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, right now.
21:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Right now.
21:43
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, he could also change into almost anything in the forest animals included, but oftentimes I assume if he's in one of his
21:53
[SPEAKER_03]: he will have a companion like a black dog or a black goat.
21:58
[SPEAKER_03]: That hang out with him.
22:00
[SPEAKER_02]: He can be literally anything.
22:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Dude, I'm telling you, he's one of the most OP characters I've ever read about.
22:07
[SPEAKER_02]: The fact that he's like, he either has to be
22:13
[SPEAKER_02]: plant or human form, but it leads one way or the other.
22:16
[SPEAKER_02]: I just picture like a willow tree with feet walking around.
22:21
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, or like swamping.
22:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, a human with a tree branch arms swamp thing would be terrifying swamping.
22:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah.
22:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Swamp things basically.
22:33
[SPEAKER_03]: I would also feel like when I like I'm when I was reading this, it reminds me of you ever seen those people that like hobby carve.
22:41
[SPEAKER_03]: faces into like station shit.
22:44
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what that that I instantly am like that was that's the Leshi.
22:49
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep.
22:49
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the depiction of Leshi.
22:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because I just looked up the green man on my phone and I know it's exactly what you just said.
22:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
22:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Creepy.
23:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, I also read that he can be depicted with
23:11
[SPEAKER_03]: with a matching beard, his face is white as birch bark.
23:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Green eyes, unnaturally pale white, light blue, brilliant or dull appearing as bulging or fixed.
23:28
[SPEAKER_03]: The right eye is usually seen as larger or both larger than human eyes, may lack eyebrows and eyelashes.
23:37
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes described missing at nostril right ear
23:43
[SPEAKER_03]: He can also have a limp.
23:45
[SPEAKER_03]: I also read that he is said to have blue blood, which is the result or results in blue skin.
23:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Another common trope is that when he sits, he will put his left leg over his right.
23:58
[SPEAKER_03]: What?
23:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Like you said, literally anything in the forest could be the last thing.
24:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's why you just stay out of the forest
24:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, on places where I'm just going to not go to, I'll go in the forest, but I'm not the ocean.
24:19
[SPEAKER_02]: You can be walking on it.
24:20
[SPEAKER_02]: You can be walking on the lashy.
24:22
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, unless he's not that bad, he's only bad sometimes.
24:27
[SPEAKER_02]: He's only bad when he's bad, but he's good when he could.
24:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.
24:30
[SPEAKER_03]: See, you get it.
24:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
24:32
[SPEAKER_03]: I also read before I don't know if I put it in here later or not, if I do, whatever, sometimes one of his legs is backwards.
24:41
[SPEAKER_03]: So if you were to leave, if you were to leave footprints, one would be like one foot would be facing the right way and the other one would be facing the wrong way.
24:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Which is exactly what that Instagram was that saw the footprints leading up the house.
24:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:58
[SPEAKER_03]: It is weird that I chose a cryptid that could have potentially explained that.
25:05
[SPEAKER_03]: It'd be even weirder if those foot, if that trail went like lead to the woods, that'd be fucking weird.
25:12
[SPEAKER_02]: If you don't hang out with those ones, then I, every other Wednesday on the night shift, you need to because we talk about stuff like that.
25:19
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
25:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, this, I didn't, I didn't put it in here.
25:22
[SPEAKER_03]: I just didn't read far enough.
25:24
[SPEAKER_03]: It's one of the other fours cryptid beings that can have backward legs.
25:28
[SPEAKER_03]: In the case, Leshi is said to have one backwards leg.
25:32
[SPEAKER_03]: which I mean, you would think would naturally be used to confuse people on which way is the right way.
25:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I guess, but...
25:41
[SPEAKER_03]: It can even, it can even disguise itself as family members, friends, even deceased people.
25:48
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
25:49
[SPEAKER_03]: His overall height can change depending on his surroundings.
25:53
[SPEAKER_03]: He can be larger than the tallest fucking trees in the forest or short as a blade of grass.
26:05
[SPEAKER_02]: He's pissing me off.
26:06
[SPEAKER_03]: He's OP.
26:08
[SPEAKER_03]: He's the most OP for a spirit I've ever read about.
26:13
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think that's, I think in the end, that's what he truly is.
26:16
[SPEAKER_03]: He's just a for a spirit.
26:17
[SPEAKER_02]: What are the other, what are the other for a spirit to do?
26:19
[SPEAKER_02]: What, what are they, what are they gonna do?
26:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Nothing to him.
26:23
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why they turned invisible.
26:25
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we're in the outlier.
26:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
26:34
[SPEAKER_03]: They actually put the Leshi beings in the different categories depending on their size, if they acted as guardians of the forest, resembled mushrooms, and somewhere akin to mosses.
26:49
[SPEAKER_03]: The Leshi is a fucking Hulk strong possessing insane power and weight.
26:55
[SPEAKER_03]: They said even a fucking horse would struggle pulling Leshi around if it were to sit in like a cart
27:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because we can turn this off into the biggest tree ever.
27:07
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's see, probably.
27:10
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll see if we can know about it.
27:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Probably good.
27:19
[SPEAKER_03]: Like encountering the less she can happen, looms, fucking just as crazy as what it can turn into, literally anywhere in the woods.
27:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Typically found around hollows, stumps, upturn routes, old dry trees, fallen logs, huts, caves, underground, you name it, unless you can be found.
27:42
[SPEAKER_03]: When people are close to lessies dwelling, they get lost.
27:47
[SPEAKER_03]: His home is usually protected by him, impossible thickets, and I don't know how this has
27:54
[SPEAKER_03]: Any type of significance to it, but it's also surrounded by fallen trees that will not freeze.
28:03
[SPEAKER_02]: That's weird.
28:04
[SPEAKER_03]: Adam, I don't really understand of that.
28:06
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'll introduce the will not freeze.
28:09
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep.
28:12
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know why that makes a difference.
28:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Interesting.
28:19
[SPEAKER_03]: Animals are also drawn here, even more so when they're about to die.
28:26
[SPEAKER_03]: In a lot of beliefs, the Leshi is a solitary being, so only one Leshi per wooded area, however, in these massive large areas, they say it's possible that the Leshi can divide these massive forest up amongst themselves, so they all have territories within these ultra large places.
28:52
[SPEAKER_02]: That's interesting because you hear like.
28:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Sasquatch be in territorial too.
28:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, hmm, hmm, it is weird.
29:03
[SPEAKER_03]: In some tales, the Leshi will actually take a wife in family.
29:10
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, quite literally, too.
29:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Hmm, I can figure that was where that was going.
29:16
[SPEAKER_03]: The wife is called Lesha Chica, which means kidnaps
29:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Take a human wife.
29:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
29:28
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep.
29:32
[SPEAKER_02]: That's not the way.
29:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
29:34
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes the children's are the result of those two.
29:39
[SPEAKER_03]: And sometimes they just yank them.
29:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Kidnapped the kids too.
29:43
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
29:45
[SPEAKER_02]: What is a lessy human hybrid?
29:50
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, fuck out.
29:54
[SPEAKER_03]: We do get into that.
29:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Lessons can move along human roads.
30:01
[SPEAKER_03]: And this is interesting.
30:03
[SPEAKER_03]: But they also have unseen paths that cut through the forest, which are rumored not a good place for humans to get lost.
30:14
[SPEAKER_03]: And that alone reminds me of stories where people have been walking down, you know what I'm talking about.
30:20
[SPEAKER_03]: They walk through the trail.
30:21
[SPEAKER_03]: They somehow merge off of it and people are looking for them.
30:26
[SPEAKER_03]: And they're like, we talk about them on this trail.
30:28
[SPEAKER_03]: That's that's where my brain instantly goes to.
30:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Also heavy, heavy failure there with the, oh, yeah.
30:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Elven roads and stuff.
30:39
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep.
30:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Weird.
30:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep.
30:43
[SPEAKER_03]: I saw a description of the Leshi, the Leshi, because they'd like to hang and swing from limbs.
30:54
[SPEAKER_03]: Apparently, and this is a fucking solid nickname, they used to call them the hangers down.
31:07
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah, they had some, I think I might have a couple more nicknames that are just fucking horrendous, not it not just a clever name.
31:16
[SPEAKER_02]: They were literally hanging down.
31:18
[SPEAKER_02]: They called him a hang around.
31:21
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's good.
31:23
[SPEAKER_02]: It's good.
31:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, promote whoever came up with that.
31:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Give that give that man a raise.
31:31
[SPEAKER_03]: I agree.
31:33
[SPEAKER_03]: I agree.
31:34
[SPEAKER_03]: It's.
31:39
[SPEAKER_02]: I saw this creature.
31:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I saw this creature.
31:45
[SPEAKER_02]: It was hanging down from a limb.
31:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Just hanging down.
31:51
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't come up with a name for you got anything good.
31:55
[SPEAKER_03]: I do.
31:56
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll fucking hangers down.
31:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Money.
32:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Money.
32:02
[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.
32:03
[SPEAKER_03]: best it's best that's it hangers down it is you're got damn genius live how they plural it to just hangers down yeah yeah hangers down always it makes me feel like they're making fun of stupid people or they yeah you don't want yeah
32:30
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's also interesting when you read about how at one point people did a lot with the forest, which which we know about however they also held the forest as an other worldly realm teaming with impure forces beyond the grasp of human control.
32:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I got an interject.
32:53
[SPEAKER_02]: One last.
32:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Go ahead.
32:55
[SPEAKER_02]: We're making fun.
32:56
[SPEAKER_02]: We're making fun of these people for naming this hanging down creature the hangers down.
33:02
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we have a cryptid that has big feet.
33:10
[SPEAKER_02]: We call it a big foot.
33:13
[SPEAKER_03]: At least our sounds better.
33:16
[SPEAKER_03]: That's where all are you.
33:17
[SPEAKER_03]: That point our sounds better.
33:19
[SPEAKER_02]: It does have a better.
33:20
[SPEAKER_02]: It does roll off the tongue better than hangers down and and let's be honest.
33:25
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's be honest.
33:27
[SPEAKER_03]: Is there a sick ass monster truck called hangers down.
33:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you know what, you know what.
33:33
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm starting to kind of get on the side of the creature.
33:35
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm starting to get on the side of the left you hear because if.
33:40
[SPEAKER_02]: My nickname was something goofy, like hangers down.
33:43
[SPEAKER_02]: A high would shape shift into something cool, like a big foot, so people call me big foot.
33:49
[SPEAKER_03]: There you go.
33:50
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a good point.
33:53
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a good point when I hadn't considered.
33:58
[SPEAKER_03]: This is why we have a scientific process over here at Hals guy.
34:02
[SPEAKER_02]: Two brains that make one brain.
34:06
[SPEAKER_03]: nailed it, I love it.
34:12
[SPEAKER_03]: I love it.
34:13
[SPEAKER_03]: I love it.
34:14
[SPEAKER_03]: So Leshi can be seen as a forest garden as we've kind of talked about.
34:19
[SPEAKER_03]: And but that kind of seems back and forth sometimes he's also mistaken for a demon even though it said his main goal isn't to harm humans for no reason.
34:32
[SPEAKER_03]: It's more to punish
34:36
[SPEAKER_03]: which makes sense on all levels.
34:38
[SPEAKER_03]: He's still guardian, however, because of said punishments, people are definitely going to look at this thing as evil, even though they did something shitty in the woods.
34:49
[SPEAKER_03]: Also, I don't blame people for mistaking this thing for a demon because of everything it's capable of turning into.
34:57
[SPEAKER_03]: If I see a giant mushroom with stick arms running after me, I'm gonna think that's a demon.
35:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it can turn into a person with a goat head also true.
35:09
[SPEAKER_03]: I did I didn't leave it out, but I do recall Where I was able to turn into a black goat Yeah You're asked like that from it.
35:19
[SPEAKER_02]: You're asking for for demon parallels All you're gonna love this next part if you're running around with a goat head on your shoulders You're gonna love this next part
35:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I love this all the way through at this point.
35:33
[SPEAKER_02]: It's good.
35:34
[SPEAKER_03]: So, as I said, hear me out, Leshi's not exactly a demonic force.
35:43
[SPEAKER_03]: He's very, he's interesting.
35:46
[SPEAKER_03]: However, however, Leshi is a bit of a jokester.
35:51
[SPEAKER_03]: He likes to make people laugh, right?
35:54
[SPEAKER_03]: And by people, I mean himself.
35:57
[SPEAKER_03]: because he likes to play tricks on himself.
36:01
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I know.
36:01
[SPEAKER_02]: People will be able to play tricks on himself.
36:07
[SPEAKER_02]: He brings example.
36:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Trips himself and he's just crack it up about it.
36:10
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, God, he will.
36:11
[SPEAKER_03]: It will be awesome.
36:14
[SPEAKER_03]: So for example, he likes to scare people by laughing or clapping, you know, randomly on the woods, which is going to scare people, right?
36:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Dick move.
36:24
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he likes to he likes to lead people astray dick move on a big move right right.
36:30
[SPEAKER_03]: He likes to hide your hats and baskets hats and baskets or hats in baskets hats and baskets.
36:40
[SPEAKER_03]: So or the hat, he like he's gonna take it and hide it.
36:43
[SPEAKER_03]: You're out there with a laundry basket.
36:45
[SPEAKER_03]: He's gonna hide it.
36:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
36:47
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, somehow he would force people to climb trees, probably, alter their reality or some shit.
36:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Trying to go there, trying to do it there.
36:56
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, probably.
36:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Probably.
36:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, this is a good one.
37:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes he would be like, he would appear and he'd be like, hey, Steve, are you thirsty, bro?
37:04
[SPEAKER_03]: I got you.
37:05
[SPEAKER_03]: I got a drink.
37:06
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's Steve's like, yeah, actually.
37:07
[SPEAKER_03]: I am part.
37:08
[SPEAKER_03]: I could use a.
37:09
[SPEAKER_03]: I get what you got over there but you got to slow glass of water.
37:13
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, cool.
37:13
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you.
37:14
[SPEAKER_03]: And then you would go to drink it and it would just be a fucking pine cone.
37:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Dick.
37:20
[SPEAKER_03]: It's Dick move.
37:23
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just cracking up.
37:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Enjoy your pine cone juice nerd.
37:30
[SPEAKER_03]: I find him while you're drinking the pine cone.
37:33
[SPEAKER_03]: He just takes off your wagon wheels.
37:35
[SPEAKER_03]: Because that's the other.
37:35
[SPEAKER_03]: Another one you love to do.
37:41
[SPEAKER_02]: You're the most accurate creature of the damn forest, you can fight anyone, do whatever you want and instead you're just being a douche.
37:54
[SPEAKER_03]: You're being an ass.
37:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
37:56
[SPEAKER_03]: My favorite trick though, annoying.
37:58
[SPEAKER_02]: You could you could change the world and you're just being annoying.
38:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
38:03
[SPEAKER_03]: He's probably a powerful enough to.
38:05
[SPEAKER_03]: but my favorite trick that I read was he likes to make people fall asleep on top of ant hills.
38:13
[UNKNOWN]: Dick.
38:15
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so bad.
38:17
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so bad.
38:18
[SPEAKER_02]: The loot.
38:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Dick move.
38:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe we gotta go out there and teach him how to play brings.
38:25
[SPEAKER_03]: One's that are funny.
38:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Sounds like you don't get me wrong.
38:28
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't get me wrong.
38:29
[SPEAKER_03]: The pine cone one is actually kind of funny.
38:31
[SPEAKER_03]: It's funny that it's funny that he thinks it's funny.
38:35
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, because he knows what makes it funny.
38:37
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, he's cracking up.
38:39
[SPEAKER_02]: He's he he is the funniest person he knows.
38:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's it's a good crack up.
38:45
[SPEAKER_02]: I would be so mad.
38:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I would thought if I if I was out in the woods, mushroom hunting and it was 100 degrees outside and I'm parched and just so thirsty and someone comes up.
38:57
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a water vendor that just happened to be there.
39:00
[SPEAKER_02]: And I get myself a nice cup of water and there's just a little
39:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Go headed mushroom fuck just sit in there hand them out these bottles of water and I go take a drink of it and it turns into a pine cone.
39:12
[SPEAKER_02]: I am Punting him.
39:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, dude out laugh 180 yards 180 yard punt.
39:19
[SPEAKER_03]: I would hope that I would be there because I would laugh so hard.
39:23
[SPEAKER_02]: I would push his water stand over It just doesn't be pine cones.
39:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, he's still cracking up
39:32
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the best ever, it's the best joke man.
39:36
[SPEAKER_02]: I was so mad.
39:38
[SPEAKER_03]: I would, I would be laughing at the, just a pure fact that he would be laughing.
39:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I would look at the pot.
39:44
[SPEAKER_02]: I would go to take a drink, turn to a pine cone.
39:46
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd look at it.
39:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd be like, you're an idiot.
39:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Not funny.
39:52
[SPEAKER_02]: It even's like, he's like, okay, for real this time.
39:55
[SPEAKER_02]: For real.
39:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's a bottle of water.
39:58
[SPEAKER_03]: It's fine going.
40:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Just cracking up.
40:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Just belly off and rolling around.
40:03
[SPEAKER_03]: It would be fucking awesome.
40:05
[SPEAKER_02]: I would set the force on fire.
40:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Only the greatest forest fires by not giving me pine cone water.
40:13
[SPEAKER_03]: He'd be like not cool dude.
40:14
[SPEAKER_03]: Not cool.
40:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Then he turns into a sad squash and tears my arms off.
40:25
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, so Big me fall it throw my throw my severed arms on an ale.
40:32
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and then he would laugh as Yeah, I'm burning alive in the forest.
40:39
[SPEAKER_01]: He's cracking up.
40:40
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the funniest joke ever Oh, it's a bunch
40:54
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, it's the best, it's the best, unless she's cool, you know what he is.
41:00
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd probably get along with him.
41:01
[SPEAKER_02]: He was a pranking me.
41:03
[SPEAKER_03]: Probably.
41:05
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
41:05
[SPEAKER_03]: So, the back and forth of Leshi is kind of vasonine.
41:11
[SPEAKER_03]: It's crazy.
41:14
[SPEAKER_03]: So, in one hand, he is the fucking prankster of pranksters.
41:19
[SPEAKER_03]: And on the next, he's like, you know what?
41:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Damn.
41:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Steve's trying to gather some berries.
41:25
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to help him.
41:26
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just going to gather the berries for him.
41:28
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes if you're lost, he's just going to be like, oh, I'll show you how to get out of your dude.
41:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Even he even sometimes takes care of lost children.
41:37
[SPEAKER_02]: So he'll help them.
41:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, but also be like, hey, I'm going to take you home.
41:44
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, well, wait until the later on, it gets better.
41:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Because that's cool, you're like, yeah, yeah.
41:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, oh, you're gonna you're gonna lose it later on.
41:54
[SPEAKER_03]: It's gonna be great.
41:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, like it's not picking berries And I'm getting over it and he fills my very basket.
41:59
[SPEAKER_02]: That's fine.
42:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, as long as it's for me.
42:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes he does cool stuff Doesn't make up for the pine cone thing Hmm, I know that's kind of subjective depends on how much you like berries are thirsty.
42:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I am when he pine cones me true
42:23
[SPEAKER_02]: That, I feel like that's so specific that that had happened to someone.
42:28
[SPEAKER_03]: It's weird.
42:29
[SPEAKER_02]: That's oddly specific.
42:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I read it.
42:32
[SPEAKER_02]: I read that one.
42:33
[SPEAKER_03]: I read that one specifically.
42:35
[SPEAKER_03]: It didn't say water, but it would just say he would trick you with food or beverage, and it would turn into a pine cone.
42:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god, I've been so mad.
42:44
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it'd give you an awesome cheeseburger, and then you go to buy it at just a fucking pine cone.
42:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Like a big ass cinnamon roll and you go to buy it as a pine cone.
42:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, throw me.
42:54
[SPEAKER_02]: He's catching Right.
42:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, I'll just turn it to fucking tear my arms off.
43:01
[SPEAKER_03]: I've thousand foot Sniper head thing.
43:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, tear my arms off.
43:07
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah Because I have five focus on the rules Yeah, they're good They're good
43:16
[SPEAKER_03]: So when you enter the forest though, you should ask permission and the way you ask permission is by stating master of the forest and say start it off you just say master of the forest.
43:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Also you have to ask permission to do anything in the forest.
43:41
[SPEAKER_03]: You will not.
43:43
[SPEAKER_03]: dictate the time in which you will spend in the forest because the forest will decide how well you're allowed to stay.
43:50
[SPEAKER_03]: Hmm.
43:52
[SPEAKER_03]: Also, fair.
43:53
[SPEAKER_03]: Giant, giant no-no.
43:57
[SPEAKER_03]: To go into the forest when you've recently been cursed by a relative, because the
44:10
[SPEAKER_03]: They specifically stay, and I don't know why this is a thing.
44:14
[SPEAKER_03]: And I do think I get in this a little bit later.
44:17
[SPEAKER_03]: But they do state that it used to be a thing where parents would put curses on their children, and then send them into the woods.
44:27
[SPEAKER_02]: What an absolute horrible parent.
44:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, it's pretty bad.
44:33
[SPEAKER_03]: As if sometimes they would even tell the kids we're gonna send you to the Lushie.
44:37
[SPEAKER_03]: the teacher lesson.
44:39
[SPEAKER_02]: As if being cursed isn't bad enough, you know, being cursed sucks.
44:45
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why it's a curse and not a blessing because it sucks.
44:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, once you're cursed, you automatically belong to the lessy.
44:53
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, if you go into the woods.
44:58
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not crazy.
45:00
[SPEAKER_02]: It's crazy.
45:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Unacceptable.
45:02
[SPEAKER_02]: But my mother's, go ahead.
45:05
[SPEAKER_02]: The, the world's worst parrot.
45:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Curse your style, first off, old move like that's a choice.
45:15
[SPEAKER_02]: And then throwing them to the, to the last few.
45:18
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, terrible.
45:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Here you go.
45:19
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm done being a parent.
45:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm over it.
45:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Here you go.
45:23
[SPEAKER_02]: You're a problem now.
45:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Unless she's like, Oh, cool.
45:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Why don't you have to kidnap this one.
45:28
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm so terrible.
45:29
[SPEAKER_02]: It just brings it back.
45:35
[SPEAKER_03]: sometimes it would.
45:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
45:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, this is Hunters.
45:40
[SPEAKER_03]: Hunters firmly believe there's success is based on the Leshi because he was in charge of distributing the bounties of the forest makes sense.
45:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Makes sense.
45:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
45:52
[SPEAKER_03]: To ensure a hunt you could enter in a pact with Leshi.
45:56
[SPEAKER_03]: It's even more impactful if you do this during Easter or
46:02
[SPEAKER_03]: If you would offer a gift like an Easter egg or breadless salt, mix with your hair and finger nails, or by making a sacrifice of ones on blood from a finger or a first catch.
46:18
[SPEAKER_03]: You could also write a contract in blood.
46:20
[SPEAKER_03]: You would make a promise to abide by specific terms such as refraining from taking more
46:31
[SPEAKER_03]: less you would than guide hered of animals to you or into traps for you, if you break the contract, it's pretty typical punishment, you get sick and or die.
46:49
[SPEAKER_02]: At the beginning, I was going to say this is also kind of fair adjacent where you're making.
46:54
[SPEAKER_03]: 100%.
46:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Making deals.
46:56
[SPEAKER_03]: 100%.
46:58
[SPEAKER_02]: But then he really tried to lean back into the demon thing with the blood packs and shit.
47:03
[SPEAKER_02]: What's weird, right?
47:03
[SPEAKER_02]: You're killing you if you break it.
47:05
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
47:06
[SPEAKER_03]: Making a deal with Leshi meant surrendering to yourself to it, which was later equated to selling your soul to the devil.
47:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Shepherd's would actually also enter into deals with the Leshi.
47:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Back then, they would allow their cattle to graze in the forest.
47:23
[SPEAKER_03]: They would do rituals called free leave.
47:27
[SPEAKER_03]: At the beginning of the season, they would hold magical objects, recite incantations and circle the herd three times.
47:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Any mistakes doing this and it result in pissing the less she off, and Ms. Fortune would fall on the cattle while in the forest.
47:45
[SPEAKER_03]: Leshi would make deals and gifts, or make deals and take gifts.
47:49
[SPEAKER_03]: However, the shepherds would often leave a lock and key in the forest.
47:55
[SPEAKER_03]: Leshi would open the lock when the cattle needed to graze, and lock it when they needed to leave the forest.
48:04
[SPEAKER_03]: Something your all probably excited for is that the leshi can make people disappear.
48:14
[SPEAKER_03]: earning them the super complex nickname.
48:17
[SPEAKER_03]: Guiders off course.
48:20
[SPEAKER_03]: It's another really good one.
48:22
[SPEAKER_02]: They're very literal with their names.
48:24
[SPEAKER_03]: Back in fuckin' nail in it.
48:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
48:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Did they really do these ritualistic things back then?
48:32
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I'm sure they did.
48:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah.
48:35
[SPEAKER_02]: But like, that's wild.
48:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Walking around your herd three times in all that shit.
48:39
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it was some type of magic object.
48:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
48:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure they did.
48:44
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure they did.
48:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, for sure.
48:47
[SPEAKER_03]: People who were lost in the woods would often blame Leshi and thinking back that seems like a double edged sword because Leshi seems pretty fucking petty and you know what if what if he didn't make you lost your dumbass just got lost and now you're blaming him.
49:06
[SPEAKER_03]: And he's like, all right.
49:07
[SPEAKER_03]: Motherfucker, you think, all right.
49:09
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, let's do this.
49:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Time to eat a pot of condons and now you're lost.
49:13
[SPEAKER_02]: For every pine cone.
49:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Enjoy your steady diet of pine cones.
49:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's your pine cone in missing hat, bud.
49:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
49:23
[SPEAKER_03]: I got you.
49:25
[SPEAKER_02]: jokes on you your wagon doesn't have any wheels on it.
49:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's cracking.
49:31
[SPEAKER_02]: It's cracking up, bro.
49:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Heading up against the tree hands on belly.
49:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Just laughing.
49:38
[SPEAKER_03]: I love it.
49:39
[SPEAKER_02]: You're laughing around.
49:40
[SPEAKER_03]: I love the mental image of that.
49:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Looking for your wagon wheels, mouth just shoved full of pine cones.
49:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
49:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Think you're eating a four-course meal, just a hundred pine cones?
49:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's us.
49:53
[SPEAKER_02]: It's us.
49:54
[SPEAKER_02]: What an absolute terrible being.
49:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Give me something that's just going to turn my flesh inside out.
50:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't mess with, don't mess with my appetite.
50:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't tease me.
50:06
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, it's so good.
50:10
[SPEAKER_03]: So people who unknowingly follow Leshi, follow his tracks anyways, are bound to wander aimlessly.
50:18
[SPEAKER_03]: Their paths are often blocked by fallen trees or a river making these gap even more challenging.
50:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Leshi can also hide a lost person from people looking.
50:30
[SPEAKER_03]: They can hear, they can hear that people are nearby, but can't find them, which is extremely sinister.
50:39
[SPEAKER_03]: Lashy can also bind the person to the tree in which they live compiling the traveler to constantly return to said tree.
50:47
[SPEAKER_02]: That's okay, both of those things are weird because there are cases of missing 4011 where people will see the search parties, hear the search parties and yell at them, but cannot get their attention.
51:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
51:03
[SPEAKER_02]: And also the tree.
51:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Of walking in circles being lost in the woods walk seeing the same thing is you're going through the same thing.
51:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm going to circles here.
51:13
[SPEAKER_03]: It's weird.
51:15
[SPEAKER_03]: It can manipulate natural signs and landmarks to get you more fucked up while you're lost.
51:21
[SPEAKER_03]: It's also possible that Leshi just put you into another world.
51:24
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like, well, I'll get all this stuff.
51:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Boof.
51:28
[SPEAKER_01]: What a fun time.
51:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
51:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Assault.
51:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes Leshi would appear as someone you know, just to, and then, so it would be like me lost in the woods and I see Steve like 50 yards that way.
51:43
[SPEAKER_03]: And he's like, hey, Kyle, just come here.
51:44
[SPEAKER_03]: And I start walking towards you.
51:46
[SPEAKER_03]: And then you're just magically another 50 yards.
51:48
[SPEAKER_03]: And you're like, hey, Kyle, just come here.
51:50
[SPEAKER_03]: It just might just constantly stays out.
51:52
[SPEAKER_03]: Just right out of Just keep fucking with you.
51:57
[SPEAKER_02]: How many times have happened before you stop following me?
52:00
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd probably just keep following me.
52:03
[SPEAKER_03]: Fuck, dude, stop slow down.
52:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's keep going.
52:05
[SPEAKER_02]: How are you so bad?
52:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, Cali from a drink.
52:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it is drink, but I know you'll know I'm a lessie.
52:13
[SPEAKER_02]: If we ever are lost in the woods and you think that I'm a lessie and you're a little Asked me for a drink if it turns into a pine cone.
52:19
[SPEAKER_02]: I've got a yellow on parched.
52:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't trust hard.
52:23
[SPEAKER_03]: I got you, but I got you Fine, go It's said some ways to protect yourself from lessie are using prayers making the sign of the cross or even just making him laugh
52:38
[SPEAKER_03]: also you can you can use subtle fire and a circle made with a sacred object lindenstick or mountain ash as talismans.
52:51
[SPEAKER_03]: He also doesn't like dogs or firearms with copper bullets.
52:57
[SPEAKER_02]: So there's that you can bribe you can make a deal with them by using salty bread but he also
53:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe, yeah, maybe.
53:09
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I've got this for all this to you.
53:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Watching a sodium intake, I get it.
53:13
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah.
53:13
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
53:14
[SPEAKER_02]: But sign of the religious things ward him off, which is a nurse, which also leads credence to him, maybe being a failed demon.
53:23
[SPEAKER_03]: True, true, true, true.
53:27
[SPEAKER_03]: There's also a lot of belief at the time as probably with the induction of Christianity that it may have been a fallen angel, which is essentially a demon.
53:35
[SPEAKER_02]: I was cracking jokes at everyone in the Nephilim community when I said it was an Nephilim.
53:40
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
53:41
[SPEAKER_02]: And now it's an Nephilim.
53:43
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what it's like in it is.
53:45
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm saying the possible to break a spell, you can go through a ritual of undressing completely and putting your clothes back on in a non-traditional manner, like inside out.
54:00
[SPEAKER_03]: backwards, switching shoes, even flipping your insoles.
54:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's give our book.
54:10
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, when you're removing your clothes, you must use strong oaths and forcefully strike the trunk of a sturdy tree.
54:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's use a freak.
54:20
[SPEAKER_03]: That sounds a little pervy there.
54:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Since you want to break the curves, you're going to take your clothes off and punch this tree.
54:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
54:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Why are you doing it?
54:28
[SPEAKER_03]: It's going to be cool.
54:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, less you can just make you straight up disappear, usually happening to people who are cursed, which, like I said earlier, which is a thing because parents would send their curse children to less she has punishment when it comes to the children, less she will actually wait until they are seven before backing the child into the woods instead of
54:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes, Leshi will leave a changeling.
55:05
[SPEAKER_03]: Which makes sense to me because while we're going through this, it does kind of feel like Leshi is some type of faking or something.
55:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, a lot of faking.
55:14
[SPEAKER_02]: It's weird.
55:14
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a coincidence.
55:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, but this is good.
55:20
[SPEAKER_03]: To the changeling.
55:22
[SPEAKER_03]: It's more fucked up than what you are thinking right now.
55:26
[SPEAKER_03]: It's got a backwards leg.
55:29
[SPEAKER_03]: No, it's better.
55:31
[SPEAKER_02]: It's got two backwards legs.
55:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes, I think most of the time.
55:38
[SPEAKER_03]: This is the change thing.
55:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Isn't inanimate object like a log or some straw?
55:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you imagine just coming in there and you just see a fucking log?
55:54
[SPEAKER_01]: What is that?
55:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that?
55:58
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not a challenge.
56:00
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not a change.
56:01
[SPEAKER_01]: That is just a bad trade.
56:03
[SPEAKER_02]: How bad do you have to be as a entity to create a change link that you're going to exchange a human child with?
56:15
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a fucking log.
56:16
[SPEAKER_02]: It said you just put a mushroom there.
56:19
[SPEAKER_02]: What's that log or a like a bundle of straw like as a yeah as a parent you go in there and in the bed there's just a bundle of straw and less he's out the windows like I got him with the change really don't even know They can't even tell the difference.
56:37
[SPEAKER_02]: They can't even tell the difference between their kid just looking at a bag of straw.
56:42
[SPEAKER_02]: They won't even know.
56:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm so clever.
56:45
[SPEAKER_02]: He's cracking up the whole way
56:47
[SPEAKER_03]: he is.
56:48
[SPEAKER_02]: He's the best joke or maybe the most powerful forest entity and also the biggest dipshit.
57:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
57:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes though, Leshi would actually like straight up trade, he would like, alright, I'll give you one of my kids for one of your kids.
57:11
[SPEAKER_03]: and then it would take on the appearance of your kid, but it would be like more lessy, grotesque.
57:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Have a moment.
57:20
[SPEAKER_03]: All your kids actually, yeah, probably something like that.
57:24
[SPEAKER_02]: These are horrible trades.
57:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and when that, when that did happen, the change things would either eventually vanish, perish, or flee into the woods when they reach a certain age.
57:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he's, I don't give him that.
57:43
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got to figure it out.
57:45
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
57:45
[SPEAKER_03]: He's, he's, he's fucking shot every time.
57:48
[SPEAKER_03]: He's not, he's not fucking trickster.
57:51
[SPEAKER_03]: He's a goddamn shyster.
57:52
[SPEAKER_02]: He's coming out, which is, kind of, it is kind of, it does feel face.
57:59
[SPEAKER_02]: It feels like, it feels like every bad aspect of the faith in.
58:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Sasquatch form.
58:07
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, here we go.
58:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to start it out with it resembling the tall hairy man and now he's trading kids for mushrooms.
58:16
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's fucking cool.
58:18
[SPEAKER_03]: It gets it.
58:19
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's like this is this is good.
58:21
[SPEAKER_03]: This is good.
58:22
[SPEAKER_03]: So.
58:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Unless he takes people, right?
58:25
[SPEAKER_03]: It's kind of a mixed bag of what can happen.
58:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I think nothing less.
58:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah.
58:32
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes he just kind of fucked with you.
58:34
[SPEAKER_03]: And like, and I mean that in a good way, like he's like, oh, shit, like, yeah, I may have like Toki Steve, but you're actually kind of cool.
58:43
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm gonna teach you a bunch of hidden knowledge.
58:46
[SPEAKER_03]: And now you're gonna be able to become a sorcerer or like a witch doctor.
58:50
[SPEAKER_03]: Fuck yeah.
58:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Or sometimes you just end up as a slave, you know, it's, it's like a, it's a real mixed bag.
58:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, women as we stated are often taken to be as wife, people who are abducted are often invisible to other people.
59:09
[SPEAKER_03]: They can see and hear their loved ones.
59:14
[SPEAKER_03]: And they can't interact with them at all, which sucks.
59:17
[SPEAKER_02]: That would be terrible.
59:19
[SPEAKER_03]: sometimes missing people will actually become feral losing the ability to talk not wearing clothes and being covered in moss and bark.
59:30
[SPEAKER_03]: If this is this is good.
59:34
[SPEAKER_03]: If people were allowed to leave, they were never the same, which is also a mixed bag.
59:40
[SPEAKER_03]: So sometimes he's like, you know Steve,
59:48
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, you're all right, I'm going to let you go when you do leave, you're either have severe mental wounds, which I'm assuming is like a mental disability or you just have straight up mystical abilities, possessing the power of like witchcraft being able to see the future.
1:00:15
[SPEAKER_03]: and award the gift of communicating with otherworldly beings.
1:00:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
1:00:24
[SPEAKER_02]: How does he decide who gets what?
1:00:26
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
1:00:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Is it random?
1:00:29
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like it probably is because for as powerful as this being is, I don't think it's very smart.
1:00:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I don't think intelligence was at the top of the build sheet.
1:00:42
[SPEAKER_02]: No, that's why, okay, so we did find the one nerf.
1:00:47
[SPEAKER_02]: It's doved.
1:00:50
[SPEAKER_02]: On the one nerf, it can, it can be the strongest, most shaped, shifty teleport people and other dimensions to take the form of anything creature in the world, but it has an IQ of about six.
1:01:03
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and so that's it, and I'm like literally to get away from it.
1:01:08
[SPEAKER_03]: I think all you have to do is make it laugh.
1:01:11
[SPEAKER_03]: If you can pull that off, which doesn't look very much, let's be honest, it's also a really dumb thing.
1:01:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Like no super human, our super being have I ever seen or heard anything like that?
1:01:30
[SPEAKER_03]: If you can just make me laugh, I'll let you go.
1:01:32
[SPEAKER_02]: It reminds me of like,
1:01:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Icelandic troll or we're like the troll will give you a riddle and if you can solve it, you're free and all that shit like it's a guy who has a bunch vibes of that sure.
1:01:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Make you laugh and you're good.
1:01:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, sure you're probably going to be my slave forever and I'm going to take you to a realm that doesn't exist an alternative reality.
1:01:58
[SPEAKER_02]: If you crack me up.
1:01:59
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna let you go and you're either going to come on.
1:02:02
[SPEAKER_03]: I give you superpowers.
1:02:03
[SPEAKER_02]: You're either going to become a warlocker or going to have schizophrenia.
1:02:05
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
1:02:06
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a risk you take.
1:02:10
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we'll burn that bridge when we get there.
1:02:14
[SPEAKER_03]: These are wild.
1:02:16
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
1:02:18
[SPEAKER_03]: Close and off.
1:02:18
[SPEAKER_03]: I found a couple.
1:02:20
[SPEAKER_03]: I found a couple.
1:02:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Like encounters with it.
1:02:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, it's not just fake.
1:02:31
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I was going to say like, the, all, I said it before all folklore has to have a, where they're smokers fire.
1:02:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, has to have a tincture of truth somewhere.
1:02:47
[SPEAKER_02]: This one is just so bonkers.
1:02:50
[SPEAKER_03]: It is.
1:02:51
[SPEAKER_03]: I think,
1:02:51
[SPEAKER_02]: feel like people got together and every shitty thing that happened to them in the woods, they made it a lashy power.
1:03:03
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think there's, there's a lot to that.
1:03:06
[SPEAKER_03]: I do.
1:03:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Dude's what goes like spell off.
1:03:08
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like, you know, who's responsible for this?
1:03:10
[SPEAKER_03]: Is lashy.
1:03:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
1:03:12
[SPEAKER_03]: I had a pine cone.
1:03:14
[SPEAKER_03]: Some do it.
1:03:15
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm completely shocked in the woods and it goes to like, he thinks he's drinking something, but it's a pine cone.
1:03:21
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like, God, I bless you.
1:03:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
1:03:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Got me in the woods.
1:03:25
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, a bunch of the wrong mushrooms.
1:03:27
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, now you're talking.
1:03:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
1:03:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Now you're talking.
1:03:32
[SPEAKER_03]: But a shake shifted in there.
1:03:33
[SPEAKER_03]: There reports were, uh, let's see here.
1:03:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, and several wheel counts collected by Russian folklorists, hunters described becoming lost in the forest that they had known their entire lives.
1:03:51
[SPEAKER_03]: One widely reported testimony describes a man who entered the woods to check traps, suddenly felt disoriented, ends up walking for hours attempting to follow landmarks he recognizes, on tree, stream, clearing, you know, you name it.
1:04:07
[SPEAKER_03]: But each time he thought he had moved forward, he found himself back in the same location.
1:04:12
[SPEAKER_03]: According to the account, he eventually sat down and removed his coat, turning it inside out.
1:04:18
[SPEAKER_03]: A traditional method believed to break the LESH's influence.
1:04:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Only after doing this was he able to find his way out.
1:04:28
[SPEAKER_03]: Locals decided, you know, they're like this, that was not a confusion, that was LESH's influence upon you.
1:04:38
[SPEAKER_03]: There was another account where a woman gathering mushroom who heard her husband calling her name from deeper in the woods.
1:04:45
[SPEAKER_03]: We followed the voice believing he was in trouble.
1:04:48
[SPEAKER_03]: But as she moved towards it, something felt wrong.
1:04:52
[SPEAKER_03]: The voice sounded like him, but slightly delayed, as if it was echoing from multiple locations, shows she stops, and as she stops,
1:05:04
[SPEAKER_03]: the voice continued calling for her, and it became more urgent.
1:05:09
[SPEAKER_03]: So that point she's like, fuck this.
1:05:12
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm out.
1:05:13
[SPEAKER_03]: He turns around, heads back home.
1:05:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Where her husband was there waiting for and said, no, I haven't been in the forest at all today.
1:05:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Nope.
1:05:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Nope.
1:05:26
[SPEAKER_02]: That's all that.
1:05:26
[SPEAKER_02]: That's ingrained in a lot of folklore here in the mayor and in the mayor's stuff.
1:05:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:05:32
[SPEAKER_02]: when to go for glory and shit.
1:05:34
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah.
1:05:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Babies priming the woods and yeah, exactly.
1:05:40
[SPEAKER_03]: There was another one I found where a man reported that while traveling between villages, he became aware of someone walking just in front of him.
1:05:50
[SPEAKER_03]: He could hear footsteps clearly, branches moving, leave shifting, but he never saw a person whenever he tried to catch up.
1:06:03
[SPEAKER_03]: When every slowed, it would slow.
1:06:06
[SPEAKER_03]: He said the president stayed with him for nearly an hour before suddenly just disappearing.
1:06:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Which reminds me of some of the encounters that I've had in the woods.
1:06:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Where all here, things walking with me, which is the same woods that I got lost in.
1:06:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Oddly enough.
1:06:28
[SPEAKER_03]: That's exactly it.
1:06:29
[SPEAKER_03]: When I read when I was doing Leshi and I read that word.
1:06:33
[SPEAKER_03]: somewhere where it was like, it's basically what happened to you completely like you be in this familiar place and all of a sudden you're lost, you're turned around and you don't know how.
1:06:45
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, are you ever reminded me of your story where you got lost in the woods?
1:06:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
1:06:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Which is the weirdest, probably one of the weirdest things that were happening to me.
1:06:54
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's also the same woods where like when I go up there and traps around, I would hear foot.
1:06:58
[SPEAKER_02]: I called it like a watcher of the woods.
1:07:01
[SPEAKER_02]: I hear it walking with me and it will stop when I stop when I start walking.
1:07:04
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll hear it again and it'll stop.
1:07:08
[SPEAKER_03]: She's weird dude.
1:07:09
[SPEAKER_03]: It's weird.
1:07:09
[SPEAKER_03]: It might be the last she might have some pine cones for you.
1:07:13
[SPEAKER_02]: If I come back from the woods, mouthful pine cones, you know what happened?
1:07:16
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm probably not me.
1:07:17
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm probably just a bundle of sticks.
1:07:19
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just a bag of bag of straw.
1:07:22
[SPEAKER_03]: One day I send you the.
1:07:25
[SPEAKER_03]: Stream your an invite and I just see a log sitting there.
1:07:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that would be so funny I'm doing that.
1:07:32
[SPEAKER_03]: You just a vlog with a backwards hat on.
1:07:34
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, oh fucking sick.
1:07:36
[SPEAKER_01]: You just do the whole do the whole episode with the log there.
1:07:39
[SPEAKER_03]: You don't even know Yeah These are just ran out of randomly laugh and shit.
1:07:46
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, uh, that's a good Steve The last year's over in the corners crack in the fuck up.
1:07:51
[SPEAKER_03]: We got it because I always so got him
1:07:55
[SPEAKER_02]: He's going more and more bizarre than the deeper, the deeper into these folk logic at the more just, it's crazy that people like having counters.
1:08:07
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's but it is because like, I think you're right.
1:08:10
[SPEAKER_03]: I think when it comes to the less she, it's like they just piled everything that everything that was strange.
1:08:20
[SPEAKER_03]: They focused it into one entity where as
1:08:24
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't really want to say modern, but maybe other cultures broke it down.
1:08:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, everybody had their own line.
1:08:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, unless you were as like big broad stroke of anything that terrible that happened.
1:08:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I feel like I got so bad.
1:08:39
[SPEAKER_02]: They had to add some good things in there like, Oh, hey, you know, sure he may banish you to an alternate reality, but he'll also put some berries in your basket.
1:08:51
[SPEAKER_02]: That's fair trade.
1:08:53
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it, I mean, but it does come to the common trope of like, when you, there are a lot of places that had lower about like, respecting the forest and not being a shithead.
1:09:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that's all boils down to.
1:09:09
[SPEAKER_03]: And if you were a shithead, then the less you or the whatever, whatever forest spirit was in there, fucked with you.
1:09:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
1:09:17
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes took your life depending on how bad of a dick and an idiot.
1:09:23
[SPEAKER_03]: And then there are times where it's genuine, you know, if you respect the forest and it kind of helps you back or it's like, all right, you're lost, I'll help you are, you know what, you need some more berries here, you go, but I got you.
1:09:35
[SPEAKER_03]: No pine goes this time, I promise.
1:09:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I got your wagon wheels.
1:09:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Enjoy your bird.
1:09:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Enjoy your berries that are pine cones, also got your wagon wheels.
1:09:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Correct, you know, I love it.
1:09:48
[SPEAKER_02]: It's it's awesome.
1:09:51
[UNKNOWN]: I love it.
1:09:53
[SPEAKER_02]: It's so crazy.
1:09:56
[SPEAKER_03]: That doesn't, it hasn't been like a big thing because it wasn't just in like Slavic.
1:10:01
[SPEAKER_03]: It was Russian Ukraine.
1:10:03
[SPEAKER_03]: Like lots, there's a huge region over there and it believed in the lesche.
1:10:08
[SPEAKER_02]: If that is, I wonder which came first.
1:10:14
[SPEAKER_02]: The green man pan kind of lower or the lesche low.
1:10:21
[SPEAKER_02]: That would be interesting to see if one of them were the basis for the other.
1:10:28
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?
1:10:29
[SPEAKER_03]: That's good question.
1:10:30
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like the less you would probably come before the green man.
1:10:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Which that makes its historic prominence so much deeper than you think it is.
1:10:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Because the green man lore is everywhere.
1:10:50
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and I feel like the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the
1:11:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Not that this is this is kind of on topic but not on topic because green man Everybody needs a rewatch hell year one and season one and season two because season three is supposed to be out this year Nice, I keep seeing the new Kirk's post on Instagram.
1:11:33
[SPEAKER_02]: They're out filming and stuff so nice We all know they they they create tension like none other That was a great episode god Thanks me one back not it was it was a different one mess for sure
1:11:49
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a lesche.
1:11:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Who'd have thought?
1:11:53
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean... funniest creature in the forest.
1:11:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Angry.
1:11:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Has the ability to literally do whatever it wants?
1:12:02
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's just, it chooses.
1:12:04
[SPEAKER_02]: It actively chooses to be a prick.
1:12:07
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep.
1:12:09
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, wild.
1:12:09
[SPEAKER_03]: It's quality.
1:12:10
[SPEAKER_03]: Quality, bud.
1:12:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Wild choice.
1:12:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, Hall of Colt, thanks for hanging out with us on this wonderful Monday.
1:12:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope your work week is absent of all Leshi misapps because he's a prick.
1:12:35
[SPEAKER_02]: From the story, 95% prick.
1:12:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks for hanging out with us.
1:12:44
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope you have a great work week.
1:12:47
[SPEAKER_02]: On that note, stay safe.
1:12:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Stay weird.
1:12:52
[SPEAKER_02]: And if you ever find yourself in the forest with a mouthful of pine cones, or you wake up one day in your just a bag of straw, you know who to blame.
