We Don't Talk Politics Ep. 40 - Cowboys and Giant Bat Like Creatures (The Van Meter Monster/Visitor)

In the last episode I said I'd upload the episode on the Van Meter Monster, and here is that episode. Enjoy as we talk about this Iowa legend! In this episode the guys bring you a somewhat local legend. A visitor that came to Iowa for one week only. Was it a creature brought to us to confirm the hollow earth theory, or just a really big bat? Either way listen in to hear about this creature that came from the depths of Van Meter coal mines to visit small town Iowa. Bonus you'll get to hear about a very young Sean-Patrick washing dishes at a strip club.
