EP 19: THE MINIWASHITU OF NORTH DAKOTA!

Have any of you ever visited the beautiful plains of North Dakota? Well if you haven't yet don't worry because I have and as a warning I would say if you see a red color making its way through the Missouri River (yes the Missouri River travels through North Dakota!) its better you look away and not look back! Why you ask? Well there is a creature so unique it is a combination of Bigfoot, Colossal Claude and even the Chupacabra and it call's this river in North Dakota home. It doesn't use its strength to hurt people it actually might be more helpful to humanity than we might think, but the psychological damage it can inflict can lead to the end of ones existence! So get your blankets ready and maybe a cup of hot chocolate because along with my special impromptu live audience we will dive into the story of The Miniwashitu.
