Uh, more worst cities, Randy checking in.

0:02.4

I think Randy's actually, he lists in Tampa, right?

0:04.9

Yeah.

0:05.5

Good morning, gentlemen.

0:06.4

Yesterday you guys talked about the worst city in Florida being Orlando.

0:08.9

That was that guy's list.

0:09.9

I was unable to chime here because I was driving.

0:12.0

Ever since you spoke of the dangers of emailing and driving, I've stopped.

0:16.5

We speak of the dangers.

0:17.9

I love that.

0:18.6

People stop.

0:20.0

Uh, I say St. Pete is the worst city here. Remove the beach. That's the thing. They've got a beach. But remove the beach and all you have are left are meth heads karate chopping or moonwalking their way through traffic while pushing a bike with too flat tires. I kind of want to see that. You can't put that caveat on there. I've been to say, I'm sure it's still Florida. I realize you're going to be Florida whacked out people, but it still has a beach. I mean, if your hobby is watching them and sitting in five minute long red light, it's great place for you. Also, Tyler, Disney's not in Orlando. Where's in that? Right outside of Orlando? Oh, I read some right at threat about that where they're placing things that, you know, aren't really in the city. You know, for example, San Francisco, 49ers do not play in San Francisco. Whatever. If people think Orlando, they think of Disney, I do. Right. And because, you know, the strip in Las Vegas is not technically in Las Vegas. I think it's part of Paradise or it's unincorporated. Clark County. It's a technicality. I hate that. I've always hate that about the NFL. There's some other village. They don't play in there. Shut up. Yeah. Whatever village contains most of the Disney resort is technically the address, but it's Orlando. Yeah, okay. Yeah. All right, here's why Van Meter Iowa. But thank you, Randy. I like this. That was funny, by the way. As a creepy vibe. Okay, let us know. The Van Meter Monster, also known as the Van Meter Visitor, is a legendary wing cryptid that supposedly terrorized the small coal mining town of Van Meter, Iowa, over several nights in late September and early October of Ot 3.

1:51.6

That's 19.

1:53.2

Oh, according to some stone settlers walking around thought they saw something.

1:58.4

To witnesses, they describe a half human, half half-animal beast standing roughly nine, eight or nine feet tall with enormous leather-like bat wings.

2:08.7

Wow.

2:09.4

The creature reportedly admitted a horrible, overwhelming stench and shot a blinding, brilliant beam of light from a horn located on its forehead. Wow. What were these people on? Van Meter. Not a thing, no. Didn't teach you this about Iowa. I got to see how far Van Meter is from Valiska. Well, they didn't want to teach that in Velisca because Valiska wants to still be known as the horror capital of Iowa, right? Van meter is between Omaha and Des Moines.

2:36.1

I think it's probably about halfway, maybe a little closer to Des Moines.

2:39.2

Yeah, just south of I-8.

2:41.2

About an hour and a half from Veliska.

2:43.7

Never was there.

2:44.8

Locals fired multiple rounds of gunfire at the Van Meter monster.
