Cox’s Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods to learn about the Gumberoo—a bear-like cryptid that can only be killed by one thing… fire. 🔥

Like most of our conversations, this one somehow takes a side road into cannibalism and flesh pedestrians before Casey brings us back with another strange creature: the Nandi Bear.

But is the Nandi Bear really a cryptid… or just a giant ground sloth? 👀

Join us as we dive into lumberjack legends, bizarre cryptids, and the questionable paths our conversations always seem to take 😂

What would you rate the Gumberoo and the Nandi Bear?
