So grab a hot dog and get ready to salute these weird monsters of American folklore - the telescopic sniper, the Tripodero, and the super-fast noose-bird, the Roperite!Featuring: Jennifer Tilly is monster-loving royalty, we love hot dogs, the virtues of street-meat vendors, taken by the spirit of Wiley Jeff, Spooky News: evidence of ancient life on Mars, US appoints a conspiracy theorist to investigate UAP, a man named Snake says he found a bigfoot and got it tested - Fearsome Critter True or False (a new game), a monster with the mouth of a butthole that can’t count past 12, a roadrunner crossed with a gallows, speed isn’t everything, getting over a buttface, AND MORE!CW: mentions of US patriotism and general references to the state of the world (8:15-10:20), US politics and conspiracy theories (20:10-25:15)We are proud to be a part of the Sword & Key Network - beacons.ai/swordandkey.
