Dragons: Is There Historical Evidence They Existed?

Dragons have captured human imagination for centuries, looming large in our myths, art, and storytelling. But what if these fantastical beasts had a grounding in reality? Could the bones of long-dead creatures have given rise to tales of winged, fire-breathing dragons? In this episode, we unearth the historical roots of dragon legends, tracing their flight from ancient fossils to the folklore that still fascinates us today.

This episode is short and sweet, but very interesting. Everyone can at least agree that Dragons are cool mythical creatures. Whether or not they actually existed, however, is debatable. Join Evan, Mell, Wes, and Tommy as they dive into historical records to see if there is anything that may support the notion that at one point in human history, Dragons were real.

00:00:05.551 --> 00:00:07.134
Welcome back to MVP's.

00:00:07.134 --> 00:00:09.163

00:00:09.163 --> 00:00:17.859
Paranormal Podcast, where we talk about, well, everything the paranormal encompasses.

00:00:17.859 --> 00:00:19.044
So you ready?

00:00:19.044 --> 00:00:20.629
Let's f***ing do this.

00:00:20.629 --> 00:00:22.827
Alright, do we go now?

00:00:22.827 --> 00:00:25.705
Yeah, alright, okay, alright, welcome back everybody.

00:00:25.705 --> 00:00:26.989
I'm evan.

00:00:26.989 --> 00:00:28.365
I'm here with mel west and tommy.

00:00:28.365 --> 00:00:32.301
This season we're talking about crypto and, no, not the digital currency.

00:00:32.301 --> 00:00:33.987
We're talking about crypto zoology.

00:00:33.987 --> 00:00:46.572
This week, we're just discussing the granddaddy of all the monsters the dragon I've seen the cinnamon dragon before from the cinnamon challenge.

00:00:47.773 --> 00:00:50.115
What, oh my God, you guys not seen that cinnamon challenge?

00:00:50.320 --> 00:01:01.215
We did the cinnamon challenge in Iraq and one of my sergeants put this big old wad of powdered cinnamon in his mouth.

00:01:01.215 --> 00:01:07.228
He didn't think it was going to be a big deal, and then he coughed and the puffs of cinnamon smoke came out of his nose.

00:01:07.248 --> 00:01:09.694
Usually comes flying out the nose, out the mouth.

00:01:09.939 --> 00:01:11.724
Yeah, In grandiose fashion.

00:01:11.724 --> 00:01:13.771
It was the greatest spectacle I'd saw.

00:01:14.700 --> 00:01:16.668
I don't know why people think that that's a good idea.

00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.263
It's hilarious as all get out.

00:01:20.066 --> 00:01:22.992
It's a horrible idea, it's a fantastic idea.

00:01:23.260 --> 00:01:25.769
So dragons, what are you guys' thoughts on dragons?

00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:31.266
Well based on my research.

00:01:31.266 --> 00:01:35.234
Historically speaking, I think it's impossible.

00:01:36.700 --> 00:01:37.825
Yeah, for sure, man.

00:01:37.825 --> 00:01:49.233
I mean the pictures and illustrations and texts about dragons have stretched back for thousands of years I was gonna agree with this, with the lore behind dragons itself.

00:01:49.352 --> 00:02:07.313
I mean, look at and I'm not just saying asian alone, but every asian society is focused on dragons it's found in almost every culture on earth well, I was gonna say you got uh vikings and everything just coming down the line.

00:02:07.313 --> 00:02:11.066
I'm not trying to go into your business, west, but yeah, I, why not?

00:02:11.066 --> 00:02:17.163
Like seriously, I I do think there could have been forms.

00:02:17.163 --> 00:02:26.656
I'm not saying that they're like uh fire down below or whatever that movie is, but rain of fire there it is, yeah, such a badass movie.

00:02:27.217 --> 00:02:37.188
I'm not saying there was something like that, but who knows, maybe they were all hunted out of existence well, I found, you know, traces of dragons being drawn and on chinese rocks.

00:02:37.310 --> 00:02:56.675
But in the shang tse province, you know, like thousands of years ago, um talks about them in the Sumerian texts, in the Babylonian texts they were worshipped by Aztecs, you know, the Celts talked about them in the, you know, asian cultures, the Chinese, japanese, even Korean.

00:02:56.675 --> 00:02:59.127
They, you know, they have a little bit different.

00:02:59.127 --> 00:03:03.109
Look on the dragons it seems like they are more peaceful.

00:03:03.699 --> 00:03:04.582
The Korean dragon.

00:03:04.582 --> 00:03:08.724
There's a three claw dragon and then there's a forge claw dragon okay.

00:03:08.745 --> 00:03:10.449
Well, that's news to all of us.

00:03:10.449 --> 00:03:15.020
But all right, carry on it's your thing.

00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:15.600
What do you mean?

00:03:15.640 --> 00:03:20.788
carry on all right, well.

00:03:20.788 --> 00:03:29.588
Well, I found this really cool story that is hysterical, so this comes from medieval Europe.

00:03:29.588 --> 00:03:32.247
There's a story about St George.

00:03:33.049 --> 00:03:36.467
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I also came across this, Did you?

00:03:36.747 --> 00:03:37.289
It's hysterical.

00:03:37.289 --> 00:03:40.201
I did so.

00:03:40.201 --> 00:03:52.675
St George lived during the 3rd century AD and his story gets told throughout this group of texts called the Golden Legend, which is like biographies of the saints.

00:03:52.675 --> 00:04:07.787
According to the story, one day he was traveling in, I guess, modern-day Libya when he came to this town and the town was being attacked by this menacing dragon that lived nearby.

00:04:07.787 --> 00:04:12.651
And the dragon raged fire across the countryside and whatnot.

00:04:12.651 --> 00:04:17.451
Anyways, the town people started offering sacrifices to the dragon each day.

00:04:17.451 --> 00:04:37.870
First they offered him two sheep, then they offered him a man and a sheep, and finally they offered the town's children and their youth, which is kind of messed up, but anyways, the sacrificial victims were chosen by lot and on the day that St George arrived, it was the king's daughter who was up to be sacrificed.

00:04:38.740 --> 00:04:43.065
The saint saw the princess beside the pond and asked her what was going on.

00:04:43.065 --> 00:04:48.266
Upon hearing the story of the dragon, st George resolved the fight and rescued the princess.

00:04:48.266 --> 00:04:57.334
When the dragon appeared, saint made the sign of the cross, charged at it on horseback and speared it with his lance like a total badass.

00:04:57.334 --> 00:05:05.252
Having wounded the dragon, saint george asked the princess for her gird, which he used to tie around the dragon's neck.

00:05:05.252 --> 00:05:10.192
Once this was done, the dragon was then tamed and followed the pair back to town.

00:05:10.192 --> 00:05:14.591
St George offered to kill the dragon if the townspeople became Christians.

00:05:14.591 --> 00:05:17.387
They converted, and so he beheaded the dragon.

00:05:17.387 --> 00:05:18.370
End of story.

00:05:20.781 --> 00:05:23.129
That's all I have to say about that.

00:05:25.161 --> 00:05:26.103
That's the right on man.

00:05:26.103 --> 00:05:32.007
You said it all yeah, ready then that's interesting isn't

00:05:32.048 --> 00:05:33.571
that wild that is.

00:05:33.571 --> 00:05:36.723
Oh, girl, give me, give me your girdle, let me tame this dragon.

00:05:36.723 --> 00:05:38.086
That's weird.

00:05:38.807 --> 00:05:47.242
I thought it was much more funny than what you guys led on to be dang I got a bunch of bad jokes in my head right now, so I'm trying not to fair enough.

00:05:47.242 --> 00:05:48.545
Hey, what's that?

00:05:48.545 --> 00:05:50.389
What's that music group about dragons?

00:05:50.389 --> 00:05:55.002
Don't dragon these balls across your face.

00:05:55.023 --> 00:05:56.365
You think I don't know.

00:05:56.365 --> 00:06:11.773
Okay, so in south dakota, uh, part of the Hell Creek Formation, which is like a fossil discovery area, they did in 2006, I think, or 2004,.

00:06:11.773 --> 00:06:17.773
They did find a fossil that is very dragon-esque.

00:06:17.773 --> 00:06:22.892
It was determined in 2006 to be a Pachycephalosaurus.

00:06:23.500 --> 00:06:25.168
Some sort of dinosaur, I imagine.

00:06:25.339 --> 00:06:37.526
The skull actually does look very dragon-like, and so they allowed children the Children's Museum of Indianapolis to name it.

00:06:37.526 --> 00:06:38.642
And so, guess what?

00:06:38.642 --> 00:06:41.927
They named it Dracoryx hogwartsia.

00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:43.646
Get the fuck out of here, nice.

00:06:44.259 --> 00:06:49.932
They also archaeologists discovered a fossil of a 240 million.

00:06:49.932 --> 00:06:57.153
It's a 240 million year fossil of a 16 foot dragon in China.

00:06:57.153 --> 00:06:59.127
It's aquatic.

00:06:59.127 --> 00:07:02.791
They called it a dragon because of the neck.

00:07:02.791 --> 00:07:06.565
It's called a Dinocephalosaurus.

00:07:06.565 --> 00:07:09.343
The neck had like 32 separate vertebrae.

00:07:09.343 --> 00:07:11.642
It has this very long tail.

00:07:11.642 --> 00:07:14.142
But here's something else.

00:07:14.142 --> 00:07:28.786
Scientists in Argentina discovered a species of flying reptiles that they dubbed the dragon of death and they probably flew around Earth with dinosaurs around 86 million years ago.

00:07:28.786 --> 00:07:30.449
It's a pterosaur.

00:07:31.314 --> 00:07:34.846
But it would you know it had wings?

00:07:34.846 --> 00:07:37.622
You think about that, you know.

00:07:37.622 --> 00:07:51.639
So that's kind of close, but I think, Evan, you touched upon something that I think a lot of people are missing, and that is that hieroglyphs from cultures that never communicated.

00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:55.788
Yeah, how did the Mayans and the Romans both draw the same thing?

00:07:56.136 --> 00:08:06.141
And these were different cultures that had no communications or interactions with each other at the time that these glyphs were created.

00:08:06.141 --> 00:08:08.346
And that's got.

00:08:08.346 --> 00:08:10.069
I mean that has to mean something.

00:08:10.069 --> 00:08:16.226
And so a lot of people think that, well, you know dragons, it's all mythical and stuff like that.

00:08:16.226 --> 00:08:33.152
However, there are scholars, specifically Phil Senter, uta, maddox, id, haddad they argue that natural history is what started depicting them as very fantastical.

00:08:34.035 --> 00:08:40.075
But it was only in the 18th century that natural historians determined that dragons didn't exist at all.

00:08:40.075 --> 00:08:45.160
Up until then, they did believe in them.

00:08:45.160 --> 00:08:57.946
In fact, they did a translation of the dragon section of the Schlangenbuch, which is the Encyclopedia of Natural History by Conrad Gessner.

00:08:57.946 --> 00:09:02.414
He was a Swiss physician and naturalist and this was published back in the 1580s.

00:09:02.414 --> 00:09:10.845
He was, and with his encyclopedia he was trying to compile everything ever written about every animal species on Earth.

00:09:10.845 --> 00:09:13.623
He included dragons.

00:09:13.623 --> 00:09:16.355
Damn, there was a dragon section.

00:09:16.355 --> 00:09:33.640
He was getting these written scripts and stuff from various cultures around the world to include Greek, egyptian, indian that described flying serpents, and so he asserted that, hey, dragons could, could fly.

00:09:33.640 --> 00:09:38.014
Augustine of Hippo, he described dragons as Earth's largest animals.

00:09:38.014 --> 00:09:41.525
It may not be like Game of Thrones kind of dragons.

00:09:41.975 --> 00:09:45.965
I mean, we know that, you know the pterosaurs existed in the dinosaur age.

00:09:45.965 --> 00:09:46.667
You know which were.

00:09:46.667 --> 00:09:52.725
You know the pterodactyls and all the big, giant reptilian birds that flew around the earth.

00:09:52.725 --> 00:09:53.787
That was a thing.

00:09:53.787 --> 00:09:55.655
Those are real, we know that for sure.

00:09:55.655 --> 00:10:08.726
What's to say that you know, some of those things didn't kind of survive through the dinosaur apocalypse and kind of evolve into what we they knew came to know as dragons later on, right right.

00:10:08.726 --> 00:10:34.826
And speaking of you know, on the on the part about the fossils and stuff, you know that's a big argument for a lot of people against the existence of dragons is, well, there's no fossils, there's no bones, and there's been a lot of people come up and say that it's possible that maybe dragons being such big, large creatures, it's possible that they had bones, you know, akin to the bones of birds, which are hollow and therefore wouldn't fossilize.

00:10:35.267 --> 00:10:35.748
What do you mean?

00:10:35.748 --> 00:10:37.341
Can you explain that a little bit more?

00:10:37.754 --> 00:10:42.687
So the bones and bird bones have like these hollow channels in them.

00:10:42.687 --> 00:10:48.628
They're like, they're almost hollow tubes that have like these little structures built throughout them.

00:10:48.628 --> 00:10:56.229
So when a bird, you know, dies and it doesn't the bones usually just crumble to dust and don't actually set up long enough to fossilize.

00:10:56.229 --> 00:11:00.746
They can fossilize under extreme circumstances, but most of the time they don't.

00:11:00.746 --> 00:11:10.037
So if dragons had the bones similar to birds and they, you know that, were hollow, hollow bones, we wouldn't find fossils of them oh, I get it.

00:11:10.116 --> 00:11:11.278
I get it okay.

00:11:11.278 --> 00:11:22.284
Also, in ancient greeks and sumerians, dragons were described as giant serpents that would crush people with coils, kill with venomous breath.

00:11:22.284 --> 00:11:36.557
Right, yeah, for the majority of history, they were thought of as being like any other mythical animal, sometimes useful, protective.

00:11:36.557 --> 00:11:42.129
It wasn't until Christianity was spread throughout the world that dragons changed and they had like a more sinister interpretation.

00:11:43.034 --> 00:11:43.717
Interesting.

00:11:43.717 --> 00:11:44.642
Yeah, that's what I was reading.

00:11:44.914 --> 00:11:50.768
In the Bible, christians at the time they believed in a literal existence of dragons.

00:11:50.768 --> 00:11:55.527
In the book of Job, specifically chapter 41, there was a Leviathan.

00:11:55.527 --> 00:12:04.210
So when Christianity spread, then these dragons were no longer useful and protective.

00:12:04.210 --> 00:12:07.424
They represented something evil.

00:12:08.115 --> 00:12:13.100
I was reading into all that too, mel, and the way I was picking it up was essentially right.

00:12:13.100 --> 00:12:27.039
The, the church, used dragons to control the populace is how I read into it they, they took something and demonized it and they were like look, only the church can protect you, you know?

00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:27.520
And?

00:12:27.520 --> 00:12:39.981
And that's how the European dragons became the way that they did, shooting hellfire and all of that stuff, and that's where St George came in, evan, you know the dragon slayer.

00:12:40.001 --> 00:12:40.062
St.

00:12:40.081 --> 00:12:43.221
George and the girdle, the fucking pimp himself.

00:12:44.196 --> 00:12:50.908
They used him as the dragon slayer to convert people over to Christianity.

00:12:51.128 --> 00:12:51.990
That's hilarious.

00:12:51.990 --> 00:12:57.727
I'd like to see any of us go charge a fucking dinosaur with a cross and see what happens.

00:12:57.727 --> 00:13:02.846
I will fear no living creature as long as I keep this near me.

00:13:04.515 --> 00:13:11.571
Take that you way in spawn of Satan Die devil bird.

00:13:12.316 --> 00:13:13.581
He had a lance as well.

00:13:14.254 --> 00:13:19.346
When you're looking at from a paleontologist or an archaeologist's point of view.

00:13:19.346 --> 00:13:26.325
There are fossils, there are hieroglyphs, and they weren't though always in the sky.

00:13:26.325 --> 00:13:28.716
They were underwater, yeah, and they weren't though always in the sky, they were underwater.

00:13:28.736 --> 00:13:29.957
Yeah, that seems to be a big one.

00:13:29.957 --> 00:13:33.701
In the Asian cultures is the water dragons, especially in the Japanese.

00:13:34.581 --> 00:13:35.322
Japanese culture.

00:13:35.802 --> 00:13:38.706
Yeah, they have a dragon called what's it called?

00:13:38.706 --> 00:13:39.807
Watatsumi.

00:13:39.807 --> 00:13:44.291
That's the dragon king and the great god of the sea and the oceans.

00:13:44.291 --> 00:13:45.892
It looks pretty badass.

00:13:51.595 --> 00:13:53.280
What do you guys think about the idea that they were actually real?

00:13:53.280 --> 00:14:01.438
I don't see why they're just not as it's depicted like in game of thrones or house of dragons right like, not as big as those types of dragons.

00:14:01.438 --> 00:14:14.831
Agreed now I know that there's a video out there allegedly where a town in China in 2017 found the skeletal remains of a dragon.

00:14:14.831 --> 00:14:16.561
I believe that's a hoax.

00:14:17.777 --> 00:14:19.121
I've seen that video too, yeah.

00:14:19.634 --> 00:14:20.941
I mean, they went to great lengths.

00:14:20.941 --> 00:14:28.708
It's pretty massive what they did, but it looks like there's still meat on the bones that they laid together.

00:14:28.708 --> 00:14:34.748
Y'all probably should have washed them and let them dry out first.

00:14:34.748 --> 00:14:40.597
Um, do we know where the idea of a dragon started from?

00:14:40.597 --> 00:14:42.519
The mythical?

00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:44.363
Yeah, I dug deep.

00:14:44.864 --> 00:14:50.330
I dug so deep into that tunnel and, uh, the answer is nobody fucking knows.

00:14:50.330 --> 00:14:51.395
That's the answer.

00:14:51.395 --> 00:14:54.279
Nobody knows, it's just been lost in the times.

00:14:54.640 --> 00:15:00.250
Oh, well, what about the dragon of of babylon?

00:15:00.250 --> 00:15:04.684
Is that I mean, do you think that's where it might have started?

00:15:04.684 --> 00:15:06.717
Do you even know the dragon of babylon?

00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:13.788
I don't guess I do so in 1918, there was a German archaeologist called Coldaway or something like that.

00:15:13.788 --> 00:15:30.676
He excavated Babylon, which is Iraq people, and he thought and he observed that there was a depiction of this mythological, fantastical dragon of Babylon on the 6th century BCE Ishtar Gate Poldave.

00:15:30.676 --> 00:15:38.750
He was a very well-respected excavator and archaeologist and he was brilliant.

00:15:38.750 --> 00:16:06.623
But he came across what he found to be ancient remains and it kind of depicted the so-called dragon of Babylon, a once living creature very much like a dinosaur kind of like in terms of anatomically, but it might have just kind of stopped short of being a dragon.

00:16:06.623 --> 00:16:15.123
And that's the first like in terms of any sort of academic study In cryptozoology.

00:16:15.123 --> 00:16:20.962
Dragons went then into cryptozoology from the basis of the Ishtar Gate.

00:16:21.283 --> 00:16:21.765
Interesting.

00:16:21.765 --> 00:16:26.763
So does he think that he possibly discovered the first, the first, you know?

00:16:27.225 --> 00:16:30.811
description or illustration of a dragon Sixth century BCE.

00:16:30.892 --> 00:16:31.215
Interesting.

00:16:31.696 --> 00:16:35.046
If you look up dragon of Babylon, it's the Mushu.

00:16:36.878 --> 00:16:37.320
Mushu.

00:16:40.802 --> 00:16:51.707
It says eventually Daniel poisoned it before you're thrown into a fire pit I mean this is sixth century, I mean 604 to 562 bc.

00:16:51.727 --> 00:17:00.481
So what do you guys think the chances are that all of these people back then, just you know, made the shit up here.

00:17:01.403 --> 00:17:10.726
I think what I find fascinating is the fact that the various cultures who had no interactions are all depicting dragons.

00:17:10.726 --> 00:17:17.615
But I don't think what we see from like game of thrones, with them being like, almost like with winged and pegasus thing.

00:17:17.615 --> 00:17:19.219
I don't think it was that.

00:17:19.219 --> 00:17:28.201
I do think it was more serpent like, if anything yeah, I agree, but I do think there's a possibility of them being real.

00:17:28.221 --> 00:17:33.150
I I mean, I just thought so much this with the wings, but you see how small it is.

00:17:33.150 --> 00:17:36.704
I could see it being like this small.

00:17:38.715 --> 00:17:41.444
My ancestors sent a little lizard to help me.

00:17:41.444 --> 00:17:46.221
Hey, dragon, dragon, not lizard, I don't do that tongue thing.

00:17:46.221 --> 00:17:55.040
You're intimidating or inspiring Tiny, of course I'm travel size for your convenience.

00:17:55.194 --> 00:17:59.314
The fire breathing didn't come into play until Christianity.

00:17:59.314 --> 00:18:01.153
Christianity the one that brought that forward.

00:18:01.255 --> 00:18:06.027
The Leviathan, which says it stretched like 300 miles in length.

00:18:06.934 --> 00:18:08.602
Like it may have had venomous breath.

00:18:12.434 --> 00:18:17.685
Not necessarily fire, but yeah, it could have been something similar to like the bombardier beetle that shoots like this hot gas out of its front end.

00:18:17.685 --> 00:18:18.126
Yeah, that's what.

00:18:18.207 --> 00:18:18.346
I'm.

00:18:18.346 --> 00:18:19.308
It had hot breath.

00:18:20.135 --> 00:18:21.481
It has some hot-ass breath.

00:18:21.481 --> 00:18:24.201
Listerine ain't gonna help anywhere.

00:18:24.201 --> 00:18:28.038
Yeah, I mean, that's kind of the road I'm leaning towards as well.

00:18:28.038 --> 00:18:50.788
You know, they were probably, you know, real creatures, but not what modern media has depicted them as but I do like the idea more of hollywood dragons, because those are fucking badass yeah, the flying dragons yeah they're fucking cool hell yeah so with crypto, do they think that they have wings for the most part?

00:18:52.900 --> 00:18:55.286
I think it varies on who you talk to.

00:18:55.286 --> 00:18:59.957
Really Half of the crowd thinks that they did and the books that I have.

00:18:59.957 --> 00:19:17.227
They talk about strictly terrestrial dragons, which would just be non-flying, just land-living dragon types, and then they talk about water dragons, which also don't fly, and then they have a small circle of people that do talk about the winged dragons.

00:19:17.227 --> 00:19:21.595
I haven't seen too many people talking about them actually spitting fire like they do in movies.

00:19:21.634 --> 00:19:24.256
Well, that's in Western culture, though See.

00:19:24.256 --> 00:19:30.788
In Asian culture dragons symbolize strength, courage, prosperity, prosperity.

00:19:30.788 --> 00:19:39.940
And it's very benevolent, whereas in Western culture it's something to fear, it's dangerous, it's not a good thing.

00:19:40.175 --> 00:19:44.346
Yeah, it's creeping on the townspeople and burning your fields and your cattle.

00:19:44.894 --> 00:19:52.819
Think how many times these stories have been passed down, whether it's movie or uh, you see depictive drawing stuff like that.

00:19:52.819 --> 00:19:53.682
It gets passed down.

00:19:53.682 --> 00:19:58.300
Your kids will know that it's considered a dragon and goes on, and goes on.

00:19:58.300 --> 00:20:03.292
But like there might be stuff like ie, what is it?

00:20:03.292 --> 00:20:07.923
The endangered sea turtles where you give about 200 years from now?

00:20:08.584 --> 00:20:18.665
thank you, wes, for smiling at me god bless you um and uh where the sea turtle will no longer be exist.

00:20:18.665 --> 00:20:21.596
You know I'm saying it will be extinct by then.

00:20:21.596 --> 00:20:26.935
So then they had to go off of our drawings and our pictures in order to see that I don't get what, just that type of thing?

00:20:26.955 --> 00:20:27.636
no, I don I don't?

00:20:27.656 --> 00:20:29.557
You know what I'm saying?

00:20:29.557 --> 00:20:34.083
So what I'm saying about dragons is the same way I'm saying about sea turtles.

00:20:34.083 --> 00:20:44.011
They could be extinct and during our time we never got to see them, but back in the day these things could have been flying around.

00:20:44.011 --> 00:20:53.423
It could have been just like birds, Just like a normal thing, like an everyday thing and because they're're extinct, we just don't see them anymore.

00:20:53.703 --> 00:21:05.326
Just like I said, give it 200 years from now, and there might not be any more sea turtles, so that new generation, 200 years from now, will be like well, there's this thing called a turtle, but we don't have them anymore.

00:21:05.546 --> 00:21:18.088
This is what they look like I like to think about dragons, kind of like the Megalodon, like it's hard to envision a fucking 100-foot-long shark out there cruising in the water just murdering the shit out of everything.

00:21:18.088 --> 00:21:20.000
But that was a real thing.

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:21.223
Like we know, it was real.

00:21:21.223 --> 00:21:28.326
There's been some wild, crazy, huge megafauna creatures on this earth throughout history.

00:21:28.326 --> 00:21:32.925
Yes, doesn't seem too far-fetched for me to believe that there was some giant serpents.

00:21:32.925 --> 00:21:35.142
Possibly some of them could have flown.

00:21:35.142 --> 00:21:36.818
No, just like mermaids, right?

00:21:37.923 --> 00:21:43.300
Yes, so I don't know.

00:21:44.657 --> 00:21:46.023
It's interesting, it's cool.

00:21:46.023 --> 00:21:47.357
That's why we're here.

00:21:47.357 --> 00:21:47.700
It's interesting.

00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:47.901
It's cool.

00:21:47.901 --> 00:21:55.619
I'm more prone to believe in the possible existence of dragons than mermaids.

00:21:56.021 --> 00:21:56.462
Fair enough.

00:21:58.878 --> 00:22:01.519
Alright, well, until next time.

00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:03.380
Wesley, you want to take us out of here?

00:22:04.976 --> 00:22:08.603
Oh shit, damn on the spot eh.

00:22:15.194 --> 00:22:15.516
Peace Mic drop.

00:22:15.516 --> 00:22:15.996
That's the worst ever.

00:22:15.996 --> 00:22:16.837
That fucking sucked dragon balls.

00:22:16.837 --> 00:22:19.603
No, absolutely not what?

00:22:19.803 --> 00:22:24.897
no, that was great, absolutely not absolutely not that was fucking perfect go.

00:22:24.958 --> 00:22:26.259
That's not how we go out.

00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:28.483
There's got to be a lesson in all of this, evan.

00:22:29.065 --> 00:22:35.101
Well, if you need a real lesson, I would say, take a page out of St George's book.

00:22:35.101 --> 00:22:41.722
And if you're fighting a deadly dragon, grab the nearest hottie's girdle, strap that thing up and tame that son of a bitch.

00:22:41.722 --> 00:22:43.885
This has been MVP's.

00:22:43.885 --> 00:22:44.894
What the Fuck Paranormal?

00:22:44.894 --> 00:22:46.461
Go fuck yourselves everybody.

00:22:51.436 --> 00:22:52.119
Absolutely not the fuck.

00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:52.442
Paranormal.

00:22:52.442 --> 00:22:53.667
Go fuck yourselves everybody.

00:22:53.667 --> 00:22:53.748
How?

00:22:53.748 --> 00:22:54.351
Absolutely not, absolutely not.

00:22:54.351 --> 00:22:54.633
What the fuck.
