NickHOST
A Sasquatch is a made-up thing, like, uh, uh, the boogeyman or, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, Woody Woodpecker.
NickHOST
It's a made-up thing.
NickHOST
And number two, here's the second reason, Josh.

...
Ed NightGUEST
Woody the Woodpecker is unfairly maligned when it comes to the canon of cartoons.
Ed NightGUEST
Everyone's always talking about Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry, but no one's ever talking about Woody the Woodpecker, are they?
Paddy YoungHOST
