Put on those seatbelts for another wild adventure with Joey and Gil on the second leg of our Cryptid Road trip! This time, we delve into the mystical realms of the Pacific Northwest to uncover the secrets of cryptids like the Lake Chelan Dragon, Colossal Claud, and the elusive Wampus Cat. From legendary tales to humorous banter, join us as we explore these mysterious creatures and the folklore that surrounds them. (Also, find out who is in the Council of Cryptids.) You can check out the first episode of the Cryptid Road Trip Here (Episode 99).
