What lives under a bridge, has a hypnotizing voice, and is NOT here to teach you about train safety? It's the Pope Lick Monster! This week, Hannah is joined by special fill-in co-host, Jarek, to talk about Kentucky's very own cryptid, the Pope Lick Monster, and why this goat/sheep man is more dangerous than you might think! From fun facts about trains, to talking marine life, and more, you don't want to miss this one!
So pour your drinks, brush up on the rules for the drinking game (Jarek jumps ahead a lot!), and get ready for a tale of Local Lore!
