@greenfuzzymonster | No I think it was a pic of naked Thanos I remember in a vid awhile while back Ryan said that Shane always shows him a pic of naked Thanos when he least expects it but then again i could be wrong it could have been Smile Dog too tbf both gross Ryan out Smile Dog a little more than Thanos because of the backstory of the pic.
Shane repeatedly declaring how much he loves worms just makes me think of this opera piece called 'Aria of the Worm' which has the lyrics 'The worm lives on eternally. Long live the worm!'
Oooo, I need to check that out. Thank you! I was thinking he might like George R.R. Martin's "In the House of the Worm". Here's a prayer in the story there if you don't mind my sharing: "So praise the White Worm, whose name is Yaggalla. And grieve not, though our lights burn dim and die. “So praise the White Worm, whose name is Decay. And grieve not, though our energy fades and fails: “So praise the White Worm, whose name is Death. And grieve not, though life's circle tightens and all things perish. “So praise the White Worm, whose name is Entropy. And grieve not, though the sun goes out. “An ending comes. Feast. The ships are gone. Drink. The struggling times are over. Dance. And praise, praise, to the White Worm.”
"You guys want to harm these cryptids." Garrett has so much love for these spooky lil creatures Also them responding with "Sometimes" and "That's not true (lying)" is very on brand
I really appreciate that the boys have fully incorporated "Mothman is cheeked up as hell 🍑" into the mythos as an important piece of Mothman lore. His ability to make it crypticly clap is now canonically a feature: glowing red eyes, huge wings, booty for days. I love it.
I love the vegetable lamb of Tartary! It is the result of someone learning about cotton and traveling back to western Europe and trying to explain it to people.
garret saying the rougarou correctly the first time and then losing it and just saying it wrong the rest of the time was so funny for some reason 💀 also apparently theyre only living in New Orleans lmaoo
@The State Of i notice the same goofiness happens with mardi gras all the time. people that aren’t from here talk about it like a destination rather than a holiday lol. i’ve seen/heard someone say “when we visited mardi gras” when what they actually mean is “when we visited new orleans during mardi gras” waaayyyy too many times. mardi gras happens every year y’all and it is definitely not exclusive to new orleans ;-;
So bummed that Fresno night crawlers aren’t on any of their lists. They’re my fav cryptid by far, and I feel like if Shane knew about them he’d just love them
4:02 Ryan looking into the camera and at us while Shane talks about birds; letting us know he's not gonna do the bit about Shane eating his pet bird, but only because he knows he doesn't NEED to. He's done it so much we all know by now.
describing Garret as "human cryptid" is so fitting it hurts; also have to say these are some top tier and obscure picks. My personal favorite was Tsuchinoko, he just looks like a silly lil guy
i loved that Garrett included the rougarou!!! its definitely used to scare children into not being out after dark for their safety. however i do want to note that it is pronounced "roo-gah-roo" :)
Storytime; I just recently discovered the "buzzfeed unsolved" channel while extremely sick, binged every single bit of the paranormal and true crime videos. Couldnt get enough. But to my surprise, the channel had been bought an the series was over. Que the heartache music. But, then i find out you guys are still making content, and i couldnt be fkin happier. thank you. i know im super late to the game but hey thats life, gonna binge the hell out of this channel. just please, for the love of god, never stop doing investigations. The chemistry between Ryan and Shane is movie magic and to let that slip away would of been pure tragedy.
If you listen without watching the screen…. You can distinctly hear The Professor, his dad, and Ryan talk about their favorite Cryptids. It’s very heart warming.
always love to see the rougarou get some attention!! but for future reference, it’s pronounced “roo-ga-roo” 😂 it’s also referred to as a loup garou (loo ga-roo). it’s more or less louisiana’s version of a werewolf-not celebrating lent is one way to become one, but i’m pretty sure you can also be infected or have it passed down to you, or you can do something really fucked up to piss someone off and end up Cursed. apparently one way to stop/slow down the rougarou is to hang a sifter outside your door-should one try to come in, they’ll be compelled to stop and count every single hole, hopefully keeping them busy until sunrise.
If Ryan thinks Ahool sounds like an owl, he should experience actually hearing a screaming owl at 2am right outside your window. I've never thought I was going to be murdered in the middle of the night by a malevolent alien until right at that moment. Terrifying.
Ryan roasting Shane for picking a basic cryptid like Bigfoot and then literally ten seconds later Ryan picks another basic ass cryptid 😂😂 now that's true friendship
This episode is wild, and I love it! xD My list of fav cryptids would include, in no particular order: waterhorse (aka kelpie, a horse that drags its rider underwater), black dog (basically a hellhound with bright glowing eyes that hunts down lonely travelers at night), 'Not Deer' (especially in those stories when it runs by a car and it has a human face LOL), Slender man, and werewolves.
AHHH crawlers are my favorite cryptid too!! so few people know about them and it makes me so sad because theyre SO interesting. Garrett you and the boys should go crawler searching sometime!
The fact that Shane was just talking about how some cryptids might've just been some whale dong, and then Ryan brought up Nessie on his ranking right after just makes me giggle a little
I need the Ghoul Boys to ghost hunt with Garrett. Not a Ghost Files episode with Garrett, but a ghost hunt fully planned and run by Garrett. It would be pure chaos.
Hahaha dream on 😂this guys guna disappear once he reads the comments about doing KZclip “work” I wish he was not such a big pot head so he could do more of his awesome project ideas 😅
I’m impressed Garrett brought 2 that I’ve never heard of, and love that Shane included the ahool and Mongolian death worms. Excellent lists all around!
when i was a kid i had to take extra ELA classes bc i wasn’t the smartest and needed extra help, and we had to listen to stories and get every question right or you didn’t pass; and one story i had to listen to about 30 times was the champ monster of lake Champlain😂
Every time Shane talks about eating worms (at least twice), I think of the children's book "How To Eat Fried Worms", and I wonder how Ryan hasn't challenged him to reenact it.
The Thunderbird originates from many legends of the Pacific Northwest Coast First Nations! I live on Musqueam territory (Vancouver, BC) and much of the Indigenous artwork displayed includes motifs of the Thunderbird. Very cool to see Ryan include it in his list :)
Love you all! Come back for the Mothman Festival and while you're here go track down all of the Flatwoods Monster chairs and visit its museum, and look for the Sheepsquatch, Vegetable Man, Ogua, Grafton monster and Snallygaster! West Virginia is ripe with cryptids just waiting for the ghoul boys!
I find it amazing how without fail Ryan presents the most normie list with maybe one out of the ordinary inclusion and Shane includes the strangest choices that may or may not violate the rules of the list
seeing you guys talk about cryptids makes me so happy! I did an entire slideshow presentation in 6th grade on cryptids and I know a well known author in my town who wrote books on cryptids so I've always been interested in them. in the near future you guys should go to different places that are famous for their cryptids and try and look for them. kind of like ghost files, but cryptids instead
When Shane was talking about his pet bird u could see in Ryan’s face that he wanted to mention that he kept the bird in his freezer like he always does I was like don’t Ryan don’t say it
My friend made a cryptid dating game as their final project in a video game design class. Mothman and I never broke up so I assume we’re still going steady to this day
I was literally going to say Mothman would be my #1 because I really just hope one day I’ll be swept up in those hairy arms and carried away while a high pitch “eeeeee” sounds off. *Dream guy*
As a citizen of the west coast of Canada: Thunderbirds are very prevalent here in art and imagery of Musqueam culture and other local indigenous groups! We even had a Thunderbird as one of our Olympics mascots in 2010 alongside a Sea Bear and sasquatch/B'gwus! Real ones remember Quatchie, Miga, and Sumi (realer ones remember Mukmuk the Paralympic marmot)
That stare from Ryan at the camera when Shane was talking about how he used to have a bird was totally Ryan wanting to remind everyone that “Shane ate his bird” 😂
the gag of ryan and shane just tricking each other into seeing presumably inappropriate images is peak middle school vibes
I'm pretty sure it's goatse
@greenfuzzymonster | No I think it was a pic of naked Thanos I remember in a vid awhile while back Ryan said that Shane always shows him a pic of naked Thanos when he least expects it but then again i could be wrong it could have been Smile Dog too tbf both gross Ryan out Smile Dog a little more than Thanos because of the backstory of the pic.
i do that do my friends sometimes
@Savanna its supposedly a charizard nsfw image they came across and mistook as smile dog
I need to know what it is before I die
My favorite thing is Ryan picking sasquatch as his favorite, given the many years he has spent likening Shane to a bigfoot. The best of friends.
and when Shane picked it he called it the pumpkin spice of cryptids
I adore Garrett's personalized font for each of his cryptid choices. 12/10
I love how Garrett seems way less unhinged when he’s around Shane and Ryan 😀
@Rose Bowen i prefer this one tho 😀
Ironically not the first pair of Shane and Ryan he's been around
They balance each other out 😂😂😂
Shane repeatedly declaring how much he loves worms just makes me think of this opera piece called 'Aria of the Worm' which has the lyrics 'The worm lives on eternally. Long live the worm!'
Oooo, I need to check that out. Thank you!
I was thinking he might like George R.R. Martin's "In the House of the Worm". Here's a prayer in the story there if you don't mind my sharing:

“So praise the White Worm, whose name is Entropy. And grieve not, though the sun goes out.
“An ending comes. Feast. The ships are gone. Drink. The struggling times are over. Dance. And praise, praise, to the White Worm.”
And sometimes, internally. 😂
"You guys want to harm these cryptids." Garrett has so much love for these spooky lil creatures
Also them responding with "Sometimes" and "That's not true (lying)" is very on brand

@Puppy468 100%
@Mothman But you gotta tell us--is the statue accurate? XD
I'm flattered
I just spit out my drink at cryptically clap
cryptically clap 😭
I love the vegetable lamb of Tartary! It is the result of someone learning about cotton and traveling back to western Europe and trying to explain it to people.
that's so lovely
i love how a lot of the history of flora/fauna is just people playing pictionary
garret saying the rougarou correctly the first time and then losing it and just saying it wrong the rest of the time was so funny for some reason 💀 also apparently theyre only living in New Orleans lmaoo
Up in Quebec we have the loupgarou
@The State Of i notice the same goofiness happens with mardi gras all the time. people that aren’t from here talk about it like a destination rather than a holiday lol. i’ve seen/heard someone say “when we visited mardi gras” when what they actually mean is “when we visited new orleans during mardi gras” waaayyyy too many times. mardi gras happens every year y’all and it is definitely not exclusive to new orleans ;-;
Which is funny cause it’s not even really a New Orleans thing. It’s more Acadiana/Cajun country.
4:03 Ryan is communicating so well with his eyes how much he wants to make fun of Shane putting the parrot in the freezer
So bummed that Fresno night crawlers aren’t on any of their lists. They’re my fav cryptid by far, and I feel like if Shane knew about them he’d just love them
The Fresno night crawlers do not get nearly enough love lol
I also really like the furred trout. :)
Also came to comment this
YES I CAME TO COMMENT THIS!!
Giggling and smiling at 4:06 Garrett reassuring and validating Ryan "I love your number five, we both love it"
4:02 Ryan looking into the camera and at us while Shane talks about birds; letting us know he's not gonna do the bit about Shane eating his pet bird, but only because he knows he doesn't NEED to. He's done it so much we all know by now.
I was honestly surprised he didn't lmaooo
YES this is exactly what I was thinking. We all know.
My favorite part, lol
i just looke Ryan right in the eyes and thought yeah were thinking about the same
@E You get it, that look felt so personal
Ryan talking about a killer in the back seat of his car and Shane just smiling at the camera like the joker sent me!
describing Garret as "human cryptid" is so fitting it hurts; also have to say these are some top tier and obscure picks. My personal favorite was Tsuchinoko, he just looks like a silly lil guy
I love these three together. Garett is as sweet as vegetable lamb blood and always balances out these hooligans
I need to see a follow up of this with Garrett showing off how fast he climbs and crawls haha
Ryan and Shane should take Garrett to the soda pop emporium for an episode! He would love it there and it would be so entertaining I love that episode
Shane trying to talk about the Mongolian death worm is me trying to participate in group chats
CAN I TALK ABOUT MY WORM?
Bro 😭 same
As someone from West Virginia, I really appreciate Shane being so kind about wanting to return. The positivity is very much appreciated!!!
Its made me want to visit. Looks beautiful
i loved that Garrett included the rougarou!!! its definitely used to scare children into not being out after dark for their safety. however i do want to note that it is pronounced "roo-gah-roo" :)
Came here to say this.
Also that a person from New Orleans won’t pronounce with with a Cajun accent 😅
honestly i'd love a podcast with these three 😂😂😂
I love how Shane and Garrett interact lol Shane is so sweet to him (as he should be Garrett is a sweetheart)
I LOVE GARRETT!!!
Anytime you guys bring him on as a guest the dynamic just feels so right. Would not be opposed to seeing him guest more often!! 😍😍
I am, once again, LIVING for Garrett's panic at pretty much anything the boys say
Such a sweet boy
Love that y’all mentioned the rougarou! Garrett said it correctly once Shane said it wrong then the rest of the time it was pronounced wrong lol.
Garret went from Shane and Ryland to Shane and Ryan. We love the cross over and please keep it this way
I want Garrett as a guest in every season of every show y’all do. I don’t think I’m alone here.
Garrett and Watcher are such a match made in heaven and I love it.
Storytime; I just recently discovered the "buzzfeed unsolved" channel while extremely sick, binged every single bit of the paranormal and true crime videos. Couldnt get enough. But to my surprise, the channel had been bought an the series was over. Que the heartache music. But, then i find out you guys are still making content, and i couldnt be fkin happier. thank you. i know im super late to the game but hey thats life, gonna binge the hell out of this channel. just please, for the love of god, never stop doing investigations. The chemistry between Ryan and Shane is movie magic and to let that slip away would of been pure tragedy.
If you listen without watching the screen…. You can distinctly hear The Professor, his dad, and Ryan talk about their favorite Cryptids. It’s very heart warming.
when shane called ryan big boy, i really thought he was going to say beef boy
I got an ad for saving the endangered killer whales on this video after the not fun cryptid fact about their members😫
I literally had to close my eyes because worms are not my jam, and yeah, totally, it was nice😁
@Jenneric03I’m just now realizing this lmao
@Grace Morris no garrett watts was the dad dino lol
always love to see the rougarou get some attention!! but for future reference, it’s pronounced “roo-ga-roo” 😂 it’s also referred to as a loup garou (loo ga-roo). it’s more or less louisiana’s version of a werewolf-not celebrating lent is one way to become one, but i’m pretty sure you can also be infected or have it passed down to you, or you can do something really fucked up to piss someone off and end up Cursed. apparently one way to stop/slow down the rougarou is to hang a sifter outside your door-should one try to come in, they’ll be compelled to stop and count every single hole, hopefully keeping them busy until sunrise.
garrett has got to be my favorite guest, absolutely compliments shane and ryan so well and was perfect for this video lol
Garrett being so proud of his list when Shane points it out healed me
Appreciate that whoever made the subtitles this time didn't reveal their list choices too early but added (suspensful music) instead. Good job!
If Ryan thinks Ahool sounds like an owl, he should experience actually hearing a screaming owl at 2am right outside your window. I've never thought I was going to be murdered in the middle of the night by a malevolent alien until right at that moment. Terrifying.
garrett just appalled that he is interacting with two people as chaotic as him 😭
@Bug deadass they were hilarious together idk where that came from
@Demi Hogueomg are you joking ?
@Demi Hogue yeah i felt like it was a little over the top this time
They're pervy. If anything it was a bit too much.
Ryan roasting Shane for picking a basic cryptid like Bigfoot and then literally ten seconds later Ryan picks another basic ass cryptid 😂😂 now that's true friendship
i love Garret's energy so much, he seems to be so comfortable with the boys!
can shane and ryan do a cryptid show pls those were my fave buzzfeed unsolveds
it's always a great time when garrett comes over to visit
This episode is wild, and I love it! xD
My list of fav cryptids would include, in no particular order: waterhorse (aka kelpie, a horse that drags its rider underwater), black dog (basically a hellhound with bright glowing eyes that hunts down lonely travelers at night), 'Not Deer' (especially in those stories when it runs by a car and it has a human face LOL), Slender man, and werewolves.
Are we not going to see Garrett crawling, climbing, and carrying Shane like a baby?
That’s probably on their bloopers and behind the scenes stuff on Patreon I’m guessing
Please, I need to know with what level of ease he can actually complete those tasks
i wanna see that
it’s definitely VERY barbarian
Garret’s the perfect balance for their chaos
Anything with Garrett is a 10/10
oh how I love Garrett. such a pure soul. the 3 of you together is what the world needs
I love when Ryan talks about his Latino heritage. I wish he combined them more.
i would literally kill to see more of garrett on the show and for ghost hunting too
Honestly didn’t expect this episode to be hornier than the sexiest disney characters one but I stand corrected
@Demi Hogue i bet you’re fun at parties
@Demi Hogue ... I'm not really even a dick joke person, but "get some depth" is a pretty good set up for one.
It'd be nice if it wasn't always a "dick joke" gets old. Get some depth
Honestly at this point are we even surprised?
it would be neat to eventually have fan appearances on these.
Garret is always such a delight to have as a guest !
AHHH crawlers are my favorite cryptid too!! so few people know about them and it makes me so sad because theyre SO interesting. Garrett you and the boys should go crawler searching sometime!
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment👍.
Telegram the above username, got a package for you📦🎉......
just because of that one nightwing reference, i'm gonna need a top 5 superhero costumes list, hopefully in which shane mentions discowing.
The fact that Shane was just talking about how some cryptids might've just been some whale dong, and then Ryan brought up Nessie on his ranking right after just makes me giggle a little
I need the Ghoul Boys to ghost hunt with Garrett. Not a Ghost Files episode with Garrett, but a ghost hunt fully planned and run by Garrett. It would be pure chaos.
omg yes!!
@Abby Lucas Shane would be great friends with Benjamin
Ryan would thrive in the not scary room
Hahaha dream on 😂this guys guna disappear once he reads the comments about doing KZclip “work”
I wish he was not such a big pot head so he could do more of his awesome project ideas 😅
And Danny Gonzalez
I’m impressed Garrett brought 2 that I’ve never heard of, and love that Shane included the ahool and Mongolian death worms. Excellent lists all around!
when i was a kid i had to take extra ELA classes bc i wasn’t the smartest and needed extra help, and we had to listen to stories and get every question right or you didn’t pass; and one story i had to listen to about 30 times was the champ monster of lake Champlain😂
I was hoping they’d show a video at the end of Garrett crawling and climbing in their parking lot
fascinated by how often yall discussed eating the cryptid
I love that Ryan dogs on Shane for having his fifth pick being Sasquatch and being "basic" and then his is the most basic 😭
"I've eaten worms before.."
"NO! 😧"
That killed me for some reason
I truly cackled 😂
Every time Shane talks about eating worms (at least twice), I think of the children's book "How To Eat Fried Worms", and I wonder how Ryan hasn't challenged him to reenact it.
I already love Shane and Ryan. But damn something about Garret makes me click on videos at double speed. I love when he’s featured!
Garrett is gentle and not a creepy dude
Love Garrets little "no" when invited to Mothmans town lol
The Thunderbird originates from many legends of the Pacific Northwest Coast First Nations! I live on Musqueam territory (Vancouver, BC) and much of the Indigenous artwork displayed includes motifs of the Thunderbird. Very cool to see Ryan include it in his list :)
incredibly upset that the fresno nightcrawlers werent on anyones list. they are lovely little pant guys and they deserve recognition!!!!!!
Shane and Ryan are just those close friends with no boundaries. You would think they were brothers.
@Rick C-137 Is that from an episode or something? If you just came up with that, that’s brilliant 😂
They are.... the Hermanos Fanstasmos 😁
Love you all! Come back for the Mothman Festival and while you're here go track down all of the Flatwoods Monster chairs and visit its museum, and look for the Sheepsquatch, Vegetable Man, Ogua, Grafton monster and Snallygaster! West Virginia is ripe with cryptids just waiting for the ghoul boys!
I love these three together so much
as a lifelong west virginian, i always love when the boys talk about mothman lol
obsessed with the chaotic energy of this one LOL
Mongolian here😁 as a fan of the boys of many years, I was so happy to hear Mongolia out of their mouths even if they were discussing worms😭😭
I find it amazing how without fail Ryan presents the most normie list with maybe one out of the ordinary inclusion and Shane includes the strangest choices that may or may not violate the rules of the list
I truly enjoyed watching Ryan have to physically restrain himself from saying that Shane ate his pet parrot.
seeing you guys talk about cryptids makes me so happy! I did an entire slideshow presentation in 6th grade on cryptids and I know a well known author in my town who wrote books on cryptids so I've always been interested in them. in the near future you guys should go to different places that are famous for their cryptids and try and look for them. kind of like ghost files, but cryptids instead
i love seeing garrett alongside the spooky guys for these top 5 and spooky episodes!
I can't get enough of Garrett 😭
When Shane was talking about his pet bird u could see in Ryan’s face that he wanted to mention that he kept the bird in his freezer like he always does I was like don’t Ryan don’t say it
My friend made a cryptid dating game as their final project in a video game design class. Mothman and I never broke up so I assume we’re still going steady to this day
Lmaooo
I was literally going to say Mothman would be my #1 because I really just hope one day I’ll be swept up in those hairy arms and carried away while a high pitch “eeeeee” sounds off. *Dream guy*
holy shit did they get an a
goals.
Not me being HEAVY into this hahahaha
“Now don’t bring your own Percy stuff into here again! Not into the BEAT ZONE” lmao love you Ryan
I forgot until this moment that both shane and ryan have professionally hunted cryptids at one point
Calling the sasquach the pumpkin spice latte of cryptids simply amuses me
Favorite episode yet! As a Vermonter, stoked on the Champ representation! Also, Garrett with the deep cuts!
As a citizen of the west coast of Canada: Thunderbirds are very prevalent here in art and imagery of Musqueam culture and other local indigenous groups! We even had a Thunderbird as one of our Olympics mascots in 2010 alongside a Sea Bear and sasquatch/B'gwus!
Real ones remember Quatchie, Miga, and Sumi (realer ones remember Mukmuk the Paralympic marmot)
Ryan was fighting for his life at 4.02 trying not to tell the story of Shane eating his pet bird 💀
I was fully expecting him to tbh
@Lou caniom 🤣🤣 he DIDNT but Ryan's an ass n likes to poke fun at Shane for his deceased pet bird 🤣🤣
The WHAT?
i appreciate how quickly this turned into “which cryptids would you eat”
Arguably and respectfully, the best depiction of Bigfoot is in the movie Harry and the Hendersons. I cry every time cause it's so dang good.
“I give you SHUSH advice”
“Hahahahahaha shut the fuck up” I forgot how hilariously they bounce off each other when they aren’t ghost hunting
That stare from Ryan at the camera when Shane was talking about how he used to have a bird was totally Ryan wanting to remind everyone that “Shane ate his bird” 😂
These two are getting me though my breakup rn. Thank you very much for the laughs ghoul boys!!
this went off the rails IMMEDIATELY and i'm so proud
I absolutely adore Garrett and I wish you guys made a video exploring a haunted location with him!
As a born and raised Vermonter I am so so happy to see that Champ is number 1 for Shane. We love Champ :)
This was so fun! Garrett is hilarious.
I love these! We need a top 5 tailgate foods for the Super Bowl!
As a proud Vermonter, so beyond overjoyed at Shane’s number one pick!
3:26 of shane just muttering he loves birds like a mob boss has me in tears
I love that it seems like he was just expressing his love, he wasn’t even trying to be funny
disappointed that the dobby cryptid isn't on any of the lists. he's my favourite bc of his little chicken dance. cracks me up every time
the reference pictures are amazing because all of them looked completely different to what i thought by just hearing the names
hooray! Garrett content is always the highlight of my week! you remind me so much of myself, sweet prince, and i ALSO self-identify as a cryptid.
