Bigfoot Murder Conspiracy - Allen, Oklahoma
This week, in Allen, Oklahoma, when two old friends decide to spend the day "noodling" (pulling fish from a mud hole, using only your hand), the day takes a sideways turn, when mystical forces intervene, specifically, Bigfoot. At least that's what the surviving friend claims. He saysd he only killed, so he could avoid being the victim of a conspiracy between his friend, the US Army, ancient natives, and a family of Bigfeet! But did he just use a bit too much "breakfast meth"?? Along the way, we find out that Oklahoma loves pickles, that you have to be on some kind of intoxicant to want to noodle, and that when you kill a man, in front of Bigfoot, it lets Bigfoot know that you mean business!!
