WARNING: This episode contains some conversations about animal deaths that some listeners may find upsetting. 

Fresh from an Alaskan adventure, Kathleen is on her third case of Covid (one more and she gets a free goldfish!) so the ladies are chatting long-distance. First, Bethany brings a fascinating tale of a man who says he saw an alien literally vaporize his dog, so he put the alien in his freezer. What happens next? Who’s Gary? And why is this man covered in feces? Then, Kathleen learned the hard truth about why you should absolutely fear otters. You’ll be shocked what some of these furry little a**holes do. (Otters! They’re just like us!) Plus, move over Ichabod Crane. Jesus is in town!
