Why did 1000s of people come out and say they wanted to assault an 11 year old girl? We get to the bottom of the Lexi Bonner videos which went viral across the soc meds and in the playgrounds of the UK (and apparently Australia). With some slight diversions reminiscing about a dead shark and the sunglasses from They Live.

Episode 195: You Know What They Say About Bigfoot

10/24/2023
Folks, it seems decidedly NQR that we did 194 of these things before we got around to the BIGFOOT. In fact it may not even be the case at all. Yet we uncovered new (to us) facts about Bigsfeet that surely we would have known if we'd done this already. To that end, Luke "Robbo" Robertson and Cam "Cammo" Smith are discussing Bigfoots, how to murder them, and which is the worst branch of the US Military. It goes: Space Force (obvs), Air Force (Top Gun), Army, Marine Corps (too enigmatic, are you of the land or the ocean?), Navy (too many tall tales), Coast Guard (almighty Poseidon's waves crashing down upon essentially billions of tiny boulders? the coast guards itself). This is being uploaded at 1:37am and guess what Cam did at 4pm yesterday. Listen to the episode to find out.
