Summary
We love a Bigfoot story, but we’re going across the world for this one!

Also featuring some Star Wars fact-checking, Victorian naturalist slamming, and our newest friend, Tim the Yowie Man.

| 0:21.6 | like, yeah, that was really deep. And then other ones, we just like wipe away our mascara tears of |
| 0:26.1 | laughter. Yes. That's one of the latter ones, I think, in the situation. Do you know who never cry |

| 1:20.9 | Welcome also and importantly to our newest patrons, Meg, Lorelei, Katie, PJ. |
| 1:26.4 | Hey, PJ, hey PJ, and Stephanie, as well as Ashley and Mercedes, |
| 1:29.9 | who upgraded their pledges. We can only make the show with your support, and we super, super appreciate |
