  1. Haha I think a Baykok ate my liver in the last life. Lol, hear me out. When I was a 7month old baby I had biliary arthritia and this caused my liver to hardened. The doctors showed my parents my dead liver and they told me that it was as hard as a rock. For many years I would joke that a Gumiho ate my Liver in the last life, because that's just what they did, lol. Now I know the truth Hahah 😂😂😂
    It was a Baykok… and I live in Bangkok 🤣🤣🤣

  2. Well while I really wouldn’t want to have my liver eaten and be left to die a slow painful death I really wouldn’t like the embodiment of evil murdering everyone I know and love.

  3. If you’re covering Native American stories, I’d suggest a story called The Great Meatball. It’s a story from the Comanche, and can be found in a collection called Hold Up the Sky: And Other Native American Tales from Texas and the Southern Plains. Not gonna spoil what it’s about, but needless to say, it’s bizarre.

  4. I was denyed my heritage. My bio grandma gave my mother away so she was raised not knowing what we are. We now know and are part of a federal tribe. Yet it still feels like we will never belong.

  5. Mr. Solo, these Native American stories are amazing! I bet each tribe has cool stories like this! Does anyone have a book recommendation?

    Hats off to these tribes, survival was no joke to be sure.

  6. So I have a possible expansion idea for your messed up Origins. Maybe you could see if there's any messed up origins in famous sayings. Like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, or other such sayings that are well known. I've always wondered how sayings came to be as well known as they are
