  • Summary

  • On this episode, Amanda wraps up the remaining Guinness World Record holders in the Midwest. Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, and Missouri are up to bat, and the crazy collections and giant jaws will have your jaw on the floor. Put your favorite drink in a squirrel koozie and enjoy these fun feats. Then, Kaylie is compelled by the power of spooky season to tell the tale of a creepy cryptid from indigenous lore. The wendigo is widely misrepresented in the media, but Amanda agrees that nothing needs to be altered about the actual creature to make it scarier than what Algonquin legends have told through generations. To this day, many are wary to whistle in the woods out of fear of the wendigo.
