Superduperstitious ·

2021/08/21

The back half of August Around the World brings the show to Ecuador, where the animals are plentiful and the term “big boned” has a whole new meaning!Jake pays a visit to some archeological sites of varying credibility to find lost golden libraries and curious skeletons. You don’t have to be 42 feet tall to laser a cave out of a mountain, but it helps. Then Wyatt walks through the possibilities of an unknown species (or two!) lurking in the rain forest. A predatory cat would probably be more

August continues to go around the world or whatever, all thanks to a purely arbitrary programming decision two years ago!It’s Russia o’clock mofos, so you KNOW the boys are bringing their A-game by way of dragons and radio stations.
