A Kentucky Goblin song by Rob from YMIS podcast

Full Summary

Hey, everybody, and welcome to a conversation about the Kentucky Goblins, of all things. I've got Rob from The Most Interesting Story with me here again today. Last time we talked about dogmen or dog people. I don't know. We never did actually go down the path of gendering dogmen. No, we didn't figure out the pluralization either. Yeah, I don't, yeah. I don't know about that. We should have looked up and seen what the Spanish and French people had to say about it. But anyway, this time we're talking about the Kentucky Goblins. And as far as I know, they're totally asexual. But we may find out later. How's it going, Rob? It's going fantastic, Bob. Thanks. Thanks for having me on again. So, you know, this is a really interesting case. It has multiple…multiple names to it, right? So it's also called the Hopkinsville Encounter. It's also called the Kelly Green Men case because the family's last name was Kelly, who had the experience, right? So it goes by many names, and we're going to talk about them as the Kentucky Goblins because it sounds like a sports team, possibly from your alma mater down there in Kentucky. I don't know. That would be a good sports team. I know because I had the new people who went to school there, but there's a place called Murray State in Kentucky. It's in Murray, Kentucky of all places. Their mascot is the Racers. The horses. Murray Racers is what they were. I always thought that was one of the best sports collegenon popular. I don't know what you'd call it. It's not like big 10 or any of that kind of stuff. They're just the regular old school, but Murray racers, I thought was really good. So maybe there's a community college in Kentucky called the goblins. We'll have to look that up. Is Duke in Kentucky. I should know. This is, I think Duke's North Carolina. I knew that. Right. Sorry. All right. I'm glad you do. I thought there was a, there was maybe it's Kentucky. Yeah. It's like the larger Kentucky University. Maybe that's what I'm thinking of. Now, here in St. Louis, there is a private university called St. Louis University, and their mascot is the Billiken, which is a goblin-like creature. Really? Yeah, the Billikens. It's like a little gremlin, gobliny, kind of weird-looking thing. Couldn't he play for the Washington Redskins quarterback? Could be.I'm not sure about that. Oh, is his name Billiken? I think so. Billiken, Billy Kilmore, something like that. Oh, maybe. Well, Billiken's a big thing here in St. Louis with St. Louis University. But again, they're not any kind of big university, like other ones. I don't even know which ones. I don't even follow college sports. I just follow mascots, apparently. Yeah. You got all the flags up and you just stood at the mascot. That's right. There was a movie called Mascots. I have not watched it, but now I feel like I should after all this. Well, you've got to check out Mascots Memories. It's one of the episodes on Your Most Interesting Story, which is actually an interview with a former professional sports team. I actually listened to that. I did. I had listened to that. He was the –Sharky. San Jose Sharks. The Sharks. That's right. I was going to say something else. I'm glad I didn't know. But that was interesting because he came from the ceiling. He came down from the ceiling. That was just crazy. Yeah, he's the one that figured that out and started doing that for Sharky, right? Yeah, for Sharky. And he would eat people or what have you. He would eat their heads. Yeah. That was a good story. I really enjoyed that one.
