Will The REAL Bigfoot Please Stand Up!

VIDEO VERSION: https://youtu.be/bPKX-lp21_8

America’s favorite mystery monster, Bigfoot, is now BIGGER and more popular than ever! Recently, there have been numerous Bigfoot reality shows on cable TV and streaming, featuring serious ‘cryptozoologist’ scientists, that have run for many years. Additionally, Bigfoot sightings have increased almost exponentially across the U.S. This has prompted the growth of annual conventions, attracting thousands of ordinary people, just to examine and debate the latest evidence. Polls suggest more people now believe in the factual existence of Bigfoot/Sasquatch than in whether UFO’s are extraterrestrials from another galaxy. Can many millions of hard-working Americans truly be this delusional?

Your friends here at Scandal Sheet dig into the newest dirt on this matter. We also cover the latest photographic evidence from this past March, published by NOOA, (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). They run the National Weather Service, among other things – so probably not crazy. We also revisit the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film that started the modern Bigfoot hysteria: https://bit.ly/42LdFSm (stabilized version). WATCH if you haven’t seen. It will blow your mind.

And, if you missed our hilarious cold open SNL-style teaser, “Bigfoot’s Revenge” it’s included here at the front. Whether a skeptic, a believer or something else, you’ll find red meat entertainment and information on the growing Bigfoot frenzy in this episode.

TEASER COLD OPEN: Bigfoot’s Revenge

Bigfoot is BIGGER than ever! In this teaser we imagine the “Big Is Beautiful Salon And Spa” - a White-Lotus style establishment catering exclusively to affluent Bigfoot/Sasquatch people…er, creatures…or whatever. Enjoy the laughs! Stay tuned for the complete episode coming soon.

Love, Sex, Murder, and Bootlegging Gangsters - “The Great Gatsby” Novel Celebrates 100 Years

GREAT VIDEO VERSION: https://bit.ly/42hIZb9

Often called, “the greatest American novel” today - why is this book such a scandal? Read on and then watch/listen! Though an initial publishing failure, the book that many of us (Boomers, X-ers, Millennials) were forced to read in high school English class, is having a great centennial birthday. Currently, the new Broadway/London musical adaption is the hottest ticket in theater. Additionally, the movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio made almost $ ½ billion dollars. It also continues to sell over 500,000+ print copies per year, despite being one century old - making it one of the most successful books in all history (excluding the “Holy Bible”). The author, F. Scott Fitzgerald, was the highest paid and best reviewed writer in U.S, history, when “Gatsby” was first published in 1925 – and he was only 31. BUT, this book turned out to be a great disappointment in sales upon its initial release and helped lead to the author’s very early death. What went wrong? During WW2 – years after the author’s death - it experienced a great resurgence in popularity and has, today, become a multi-billion-dollar franchise with multiple movies, TV adaptions, and theater. But it’s author died tragically at only 44 and in poverty, with all his books out of print. My co-host and I - with the help of literary expert, Dylan Cuellar - attempt to unravel one of the most tragic mysteries in U.S. publishing history.

Julia Child – James Bond In An Apron?!

In honor of National Women’s History Month, we are celebrating Julia Child. Most people aren’t aware that she was also a professional SPY for the U.S. in WWII, for years. NO WAY! – you say. Okay … let me back up a little. Most of us think of Julia, in the early 1960’s and decades beyond, almost single-handedly, exploding ideas about the role of women in American society by writing best-selling cook books and making an extremely popular TV cooking show – eventually distributed to over 50 countries across the globe. She was one of the earliest female entrepreneurs anywhere. But, BEFORE she was a celebrated chef, author, television celebrity, and women’s advocate – she served as a VERY successful spy !!!  

Listen to learn about Julia’s important story of her adventures in spy craft. Though she may not have driven an Aston Martin and probably didn’t carry a Walther PPK pistol in her brassier, she did love her vodka martinis -- just like James Bond. And she was involved in some very impactful spy stuff to help win the war. We’re gonna tell you all about it! Despite her butter and fat-infused, French cooking style, this incredible person lived to age 91! She will always be a pioneering American hero in our collective memory.

Also, my co-host, Anuradha HAS RETURNED after a brief absence – and is as insightful, funny, and charming as ever. We also discuss the new “Robo Ump” system being tested in Spring Training.

Who knew baseball could be so spicy?

Christmas Unwrapped

GREAT VIDEO VERSION: https://bit.ly/4fx4R5q

No one loves Christmas more than your friends at Scandal Sheet. But that doesn’t mean we can’t explore some obvious historical inconsistencies. Right? For example, why is Christmas celebrated on December 25? Only 2 of the 4 Gospels in the Christian New Testament even discuss the birth of the infant Jesus and neither mentions a date. But they do give us clues that the birthday was more likely in the spring or summer - and not winter. Join co-host Thad (a Catholic) co-host Anuradha (a Hindu), and regular guests David/Jill Grover (a Jewish couple) as we follow the star of holiday investigation.

And don’t miss the hilarious cold open, “On The Road With The Maji.”
