*WARNING - BOARDERLINE RACISIT AUSTRALIAN ACCENTS EMPLOYED* (its retaliation for the terrible British accents Australian podcasters do)
This week we go south of the boarder to Australia, Britain's Mexico, to check out the Hawkesbury River Monster, Australia's Loch Ness Monster, yes thats right Australia's Nessie has been sighted hundreds of times in the Hawkesbury river, which is very deep as its a flooded valley. Known to the Aboriginal peoples of the area as the Moolyewonk, which is better and appearing on rock art from thousands of years ago, it truly is Australia's Loch Ness Monster...or a Pike Eel. You decide. But Australia's Loch Ness Monster has stiff competition from Australia's bigfoot the Yowie. Come on Australia, you don't have to compare it with other more famous stuff, have some pride. Also its length is measured in Holden cars. I don't know whats happening.

6. The Hunting of Wallsend Mill
01:23:36||Season 8, Ep. 6Howay! This week we travel (metaphorically, we wouldn't actually travel, train fairs being what they are) to the mysterious and surreal area of the North East of Engerland. For once, this is an actual intriguing story of haunting which is not easily explained (without the help of throwing in the wild card of Gerard Depardeiu, which we obviously did). Over a century 3 families, multiple generations and many witnesses hauntings were going on in this Mill House. We cant explain it, can you?5. Houston Batman
50:34||Season 8, Ep. 5This week on the podcast, which youtube has issues with due to its outsized influence in the US and UK elections apparently, we have another story which starts with people drinking shine on the porch at 2am, its the Houston Batman. Was he or they a midnight creeper and peeper? A UFO? Shine madness? We may never know but something did happen because it was reported in newspapers, the gold standard.4. The Atari Landfill
01:04:13||Season 8, Ep. 4Trigger Warning! There is computer game chat in this episode. Are Neil and Chris doing a dry run for a re-boot of Gamesmaster with Joe Swash as the new Patrick Moore? Keep your eyes glues to the Dave channel. In this episode we dig through the landfill of late stage capitalist thinking but was there actually something else going on? The guys certainly seem to have some questions that need answers about the insanity of the whole thing. Or was it just cocaine?3. Funland
01:06:47||Season 8, Ep. 3It this weeks more reasonable episode we have a look at the internet legend of Funland. It's a story about blossoming manhood and being in love with a very tempting, very enticing inanimate object. We have all thought about it but what happens when the object becomes the objectee and the manhood becomes the cooker hood? Well, thats one read of the story, another is someone once saw and episode of Scooby Do, i can do that but worse.2. Borley Rectory - Englands most Haunted?
01:43:45||Season 8, Ep. 2Welcome to Engerland, home of the pint, home of the brave, did Jesus footsteps once walk upont these sacred hills? Borley Rectory is in England. But it's not pints it serves, its the paranormal. With a chaser of lust. Easy, you've had a few, sure you can drive? Of course lust driving is the second biggest killer on Angerlands roads after American diplomats wives, so be safe. The episode is much like this throughout. Did it need and hour forty? Yes1. Batboy
01:05:52||Season 8, Ep. 1Having settled all their legal disputes, medical claims and blood feuds the lads (42 and 47 respectively) are back in the saddle of the strange and enlightening world of Urban Legends. For a bit of fun to kick off the series we have a chuckle at classic bants Weekly World News and their main pin up (it's meant to be erotic right?) Batboy. Yep from the caves of West Virginia, where I get my backy, to Iraq and biting the Queen, its a bit of fun.25. Chubacabra
01:15:18||Season 7, Ep. 25In the free wheeling, bring your toys to school day final episode of the series we look at the frankly unimpressive Chupa (Suck) Cabra (Chub). Much like fellow stars Mcauly Culken, Snow and Chaka Demus and Plyas its imperial phase was the 90's. Ah the 90's, remember when we were in the 90's and though everything was shit? Can't Sunday Quarterback the ghost of a whisper of a glimpse of your younger self, no matter how many sacrifices you are willing to perform. Anywho, yeah, probably just a dog and some fraud.24. Badang the strongman
43:46||Season 7, Ep. 24This weeks episode is about Badang the Strongman. An inspiration for us all he brings himself up from humble beginings through hardwork and eating vomit. Feat possibly Snoop Dogg's finest film role, Amazon innovative business plan and more Elon discussion. Co starring Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse (out of copyright versions only).
