In this week’s episode, Sammy dives into an adorably disturbing lore: Kappas. As the Ryer Vineyard is sipped, the ladies read a Mothman listener lore, beg for Bigfoot The Musical tickets, and participate in a lore-based drinking game. So grab your favorite cabernet sauvignon and watch your butt, Ladies Who Throw Cucumbers will have you swimming with metal objects from now on.
