was the muppets laugh tracked or to an audience?

Probably laugh tracked due to all the technical aspects of that show

Every time you think one of these creatures is completely bogus, scientists find another bizarre creature that's never been seen before.

@Aaron think of it as an April Fool’s show? Hoaxes?

We picked this because there is a upcoming Jersey Devil Festival in Asbury Park, NJ (May 5th) Brian Regal will be talking there. Looks cool, and I love local fables! www.evensi.us...

I’m just shocked the jersey devil doesn’t have his own show on here

I thought it was clever when the NHL moved a hockey team to the Meadowlands, they chose the nickname New Jersey Devils. Where is Danne D to back this up?

@Dale hahah

Colin in Durham, England:

If your country is only about 200 years old do you get to have myths and legends?

Also, now that everyone has cameras, it’s odd that there’s less and less sightings.

Sorry to be a downer but people waste Their entire lives on this

@Aaron He did but all he played was Bruce Springsteen and Little Steven.

Avatar 7:20pm
kimzilla:

@Colin, Even for a young country, there are fables and legends. But you are totally right, today it must be a lot harder to fake monster sightings. Which is why our second interview is about critical thinking and having a healthy dose of skepticism.
  7:22pm
Emily:

@fullmetalmonkey for sure. OR they’re his henchman. Henchalopes.

I didn't realize the Quakers were so reactionary.

CJ@Shawnee OH:

I live in Ohio. They say there are sightings of Bigfoot close to me. All I ask , Why haven't they found footprints in the snow, Deer hunters tramp all through the woods around here in the winter. or a dead body. And with all the game cameras in my area some one should have had a picture by now.--- Oh Wait a minute I think I just saw one playing with my dogs in the backyard. I'll get back to you, hopefully with a few photos.
  7:27pm
fullmetalmonkey:

What if Bigfoot had wings?

Aaron in Minneapolis:

Kate!
Avatar 7:28pm
kimzilla:

I had to trim this story but what was crazy about the jersey devil was that they actually just used a kangaroo on display, painted it green and threw some wings on it, and then let people poke it with a stick.

Sam:

Every time I’ve gone hiking in the pine barrens I’ve been harassed by jersey devils. They’re out of freakin control. Usually now when I hear them coming I just head back t my car - not even worth it.

Is there any music on this program? Sorry new to this program.

Jersey Devil really seems a lateral change from Leeds Devil in terms of marketing appeal to me.
Avatar 7:30pm
Richard S:

Well, we're finding new and strange creatures almost every month. But for something to stay hidden for so long in a relatively populated area? ....
  7:30pm
Kate:

@ Aaron this sounds like a very unlikely story to explain the Jersey devil, who everyone knows haunts the entire state to this day.

melinda:

There is a famous photo of Bigfoot that people analyze like the Zapruder film but I forget the names of the men who took the photo.

CJ@Shawnee OH:

Thanks Sam
  7:31pm
Emily:

@Sam what kind of harassment? Do they throw beer cans and shout crass insults? That’s what I’d imagine...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:31pm
melinda:

@ultradamno I agree
Avatar 7:32pm
kimzilla:

@CJ, nope, this is a talk/ interview show. But if you wait 30 minutes, you will be in good musical hands. Plus, you don't want us to play our music.
  7:32pm
Emily:

Yeah, we can’t even tell Snoop from Coolio...
Avatar 7:34pm
CJ@Shawnee OH:

TY Kimzilla. I think I could handle your musical taste. If you you listen to WFMU you can handle anything :)
  7:35pm
Sam:

No, they sneak up on me and howl and make threatening gestures, and they swoop around me, then hide, then get up in my face, a few times they pushed me onto the ground and it really hurt. I’ll swing a big stick at them sometimes. I’m tired of their crap.

I've told people this station is so good that I can't listen to some of it. Thats the truth>

@CJ, this station is so good that I can't listen some of the time too. But I keep coming back. When you find your favorites, that's when the magic really happens for your ears.

@CJ oh for sure. It’s an endurance test sometimes. I think it builds my ear stamina.

Thanks Richard S. I have looked at them.

@dale I do feel we are perpetually headed in that direction. Any episode could end up there.

@CJ thank you!! We sure are happy to have you, welcome :)

@Nells, Just curious, what other side are you looking for to add to a show about skepticism and a historical fables?

How about a scapula so big it becomes a wing? Still with arms below them.

critical thinking is limited by the base of knowledge you've been given
Avatar 7:49pm
CJ@Shawnee OH:

Wonder what kind of music this guy listens to. Just wondering.
  7:49pm
Sam:

Is it rational to believe in ghosts or aliens if you’ve heard tons of stories from reputable people who claim to have encountered them? Or is it more rational to assume the person was somehow mistaken? Even when they’re sure it’s true and different people report similar things? Then again, people are so easily deluded.

Mythical creature around here is a human who will let you in when you put your turn signal on. Never seen one in the wild.

@Sam, that's a very good question. Emily and I did an episode on alien abductions and this woman encountered something and she very much believed she was abducted. It felt very honest and real.

All I am saying is I believe in aliens and ghost more that Bigfoot. Enough said!

You need to keep an open mind about these things, but not so open that your brain falls out.

@ Dale Agreed. Write the script. I ve seen you type enough on here to handle it.

Listener Robert:

Until ~20 yrs. ago, when you subbed for a scheduled host on WFMU, you were the guest host of that show. Now it's usually tht you're doing your own show at an unscheduled time.
  8:01pm
Kate:

@Bootsie I get that, I think reality is relative, but we can still use logic
  8:01pm
Listener Robert:

Archiving is what I think changed that dynamic.
