https://www.reddit.com/r/Cryptozoology/comments/1ix4iec/bigfoot_vs_the_jersey_devil/

Also a note/correction:

I mentioned that The Last Broadcast came out the same year as The Blair Witch Project but it was actually released in October of 1998 & Blair Witch came out July of 1999. My bad.

Gayle from The Glitterjaw Collective joins me to talk about S01E03: Squeeze. We'll give some recommendations for horror movies that fit the vibes of the series' first monster of the week, Tooms!

As promised: I did look more into the etymology of PHrogging VS. Frogging and there doesn't seem to be a clear or consistent reason it is spelled with a PH but the spelling of frog as phrog does seem to have started as slang for a frog that is better than a frog so should be spelled phrog (or a frog that is sad & therefore must be a phrog?). I could not find any clear path from that spelling to it being used as a term for someone that lives in someone else's space without them knowing but you can have a lot of fun looking at the definitions on Urban Dictionary: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=phrog

Thanks for listening!
