Waiting 4 Wrath - Episode 256 - The One Where We Springload Jersey's Yowie-Wowie!

In This Week’s Show, episode 256, Jenn goes on an epic hunt for hairy, scary, animalistic crypto-porn. 

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Ralph Baer hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying his patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I learned that life always feels better after a big poo. 

Jenn’s Actual Lesson

Did you know that Sasquatch is the Anglicization of ‘Sasq’ets’, from the Halq’emeylem language spoken by First Nations peoples in southwestern British Columbia? 

But before we get to all that, let’s have a beer!

Round Table 

In hoist with his own petard news, the subject of last week’s faith has been the subject of some scrutiny this week when it was discovered that he referenced Tosh.0 in a tweet when he was 16. When the tweets were mentioned to him he preempted even the reporter who found them to issue a lengthy and, if I do say so, appropriate apology. The reporter on the other hand, has yet to apologize for the extraordinarily, not-at-all-quoting-a-shock-jock racist and homophobic tweets in his own timeline. https://outline.com/AhsktY  

Oh yeah, and the paper he had worked for, fired him.  Thanks to listener Pete for sharing an article with us about it.

Today we’ll be talking about Shea’s kin-folks (and not just his hot sister!)

As our resident Yeti, Shea is of course our show’s official cryptid. His heritage hails from the snowy mountains of Nepal, by way of the snowy mountains of Northern Colorado.

I’m sure everyone is familiar with Shea’s extended North American family. The most popular are his Pacific Northwest clan of the Bigfoots. There’s the southern branch in Florida known as the Skunk Apes, but since the ‘skunk’ is not because of their coloration, they are often not invited to family reunions. (Florida, amirite?) It’s really humid there and deodorant doesn’t cut through the fur

“Skunk Ape” is a terrible thing to call people from Florida Jenn… Jeez, we all know stankopotomus is the preferred nomenclature. 

What Shea won’t tell us though, is where his Yowie brethren come from… given that Australia is a conspiracy and doesn’t really exist.

First, what is a Yowie?

Well, depending on the quality of your auto-correct it’s either a seven to twelve foot tall, white haired, samscquanch from the Australian outback, or a sub-genre of Japanese homoerotic art often published as manga, or when animated, hentai.

Regardless of spelling the noble Yowie and the ignoble yaoi have a surprising number of things in common. For example, both are hunted for primarily online, from dingy basements only lit by the eerie glow of computer monitors displaying only the most trustworthy sites delivered by the shame-reducing encryption of a VPN. Also, nearly all photos of the elusive Yow-s are pixelated beyond recognition.
