Episode 18 begins with a (not so) brief conversation with friend of the podcast, Dr. Sam Laucirica, about some of the points raised during the previous episode on NCGS. Levi then takes us back to a familiar place with a conversation about homing pigeons and Matt runs Occam's Razor over some of the more popular bigfoot sightings.
