Show Notes Episode 321: The REAL Legend of Boggy Creek Charles B Pierce

This week Host Dave Bledsoe is tossed out of 237 Pub-N-Pool outside of Texarkana after accusing the waitress of being the Boggy Creek Monster. (He thought it was a pick up line) On the show this week we talk about the Fouke Monster and the man who made millions making a movie about it! (No, seriously!)

Along the way we learn about that one time Dave went Bigfoot hunting. (He got drunk in the woods) and then we move straight on to the story of the Fouke Monster, a large hairy ape man that lives in the swamp. (Call him Cletus!) After knocking out the nonsense, we get to the point of the show when we meet Charles B Pierce, filmmaker, advertising mogul and Mayor Chuckles of Laffalot Club! (It isn’t as creepy as it sounds.) We learn about his breakthrough movie about the Fouke Monster and then his career making movies. (Do we cover the chick being stabbed with a trombone? You KNOW it!) Then we wrap it up with our usual tasteful retrospective on Charle’s life AND the Fouke Monster!

Our Sponsor this week is Cryptid Controls, when you’ve got a problem Orkin can’t solve, call Cryptid Controls! We open the show with the lesser of Charle’s Boggy Creek movies and close with Billy Cole and the obligatory Fouke Monster Song!
