SIDE TRAIL 32
In the Bridgewater side trail MLT explores the deep shamanic patterns being unearthed in the swamps of Massachusetts, as well as in the Cartoon Network. Is this ingenious rationalization, aprophenia, or are we just "hepped up on goofballs"?

SIDE TRAIL 33
Following the Batsquatch episode, we follow-up on flying primates and giant bats. Then we get deeper into the volcano angle with discussions on Cherufe the Volcano God and the real-life possibility of Sharknados. It just keeps getting weirder around here!
