Thanks for watching SoloFamGangArmyWarriors! Hope you liked this episode and the origins of Paul Bunyan! I had a lot of fun during the research portion of this one. I thought it was hilarious/awesome that our boy Paul may have actually been a real dude AND that the stories about him basically served as a gentle hazing for greenhorns in the woods 😂 Learning that simple camaraderie between “blue collar” workers gave birth to an American legend is one of the many reasons I love the series.
Don’t forget to comment YOUR thoughts down below along with any recommendations you have for future episodes!

I’m a 6th generation logger. I grew up hearing all the Paul Bunyan stories in logging camps from Canada to North Carolina. My Grandpa even loved to tell the new guys that he had worked for Paul’s grandson when he started and had “Bunyan” carved on his ax handle as proof the he had got the ax from his grandson.

9:40 “Throwing a 40 oz on the ground and yelling: SCATTER!!!”

Ah, a John Mulaney reference.

"Anything to avoid a lawsuit" is the most relatable sentence today!

Those nine dislikes are for the people you called out not knowing what skillshare is.

[LWolf]

Would like to hear more like this. Maybe like Johnny Appleseed, Davy Crockett and such. Even just more on Paul Bunyan

[multiverseman]

10:41 "Hi! I'm Paul!"

Anyone remember when they used to show that after Jimmy Neutron?

[milkeesmile]

jon: YOU are watching messed up origins
me, missing jon and sobbing: YE S. I AM ✊😣

[LaineyBug]

Now you just *have* to do the rest of the classic American Tall Tales. Johnny Appleseed, Pecos Bill, John Henry, Davy Crocket...

When are we going to see The Swan Princess?!??? I've been waiting for literally almost a year to see that video

We literally studied Baron Münchhausen in grade school because literally everyone and their grandma knows about him and his exaggerated stories here in germany.

Like, as far as I remember, his stories were so exaggereted, the germans had no word to describe how insanely made up they are so they invented the term 'Lügengeschichte' (Lie Story).

[alichalberg]

Minnesota girl here! As a kid you always hear stories of Paul bunyan and babe, if yall wanna see how hard we go look up the Paul bunyan statues! There are quite a few scattered throughout northern MN. We even have cities logos and a theme park focused around him and his adventures!

I swear man, deadpan delivery gets me every time. Never change my guy, never change.

“For the nine of you who don’t know” about skillshare
Me: . . . I’ve been spotted 😂
Sorry Solo

John Henry next?

[AverytheCubanAmerican]

There’s a giant cool Paul Bunyan statue in Duluth, MN with his blue ox that I’ve seen. Really nice

[oralconnickie]

We don't talk about him *long pause* that was great😂😂😂
(Thanks for the likes guys)

Paul Bunyan: Larger than Life! 😁
Anyone else remember Tall Tale, the movie where a bunch of tall tale characters (Bunyan, Pecos Bill, Slue Foot Sue, John Henry)came together Avengers style?

[willlyon]

Can you maybe do videos on the messed up origins of King Arthur, Robin Hood, and Thor?
