with guest david fear

The rush of strange names: Adrian, Puck, Vincent...and, of course, our ol pal Bigfoot...Like one of Adrian's baseball bats to the head, it's a scene that fires one massive chunk of exposition right at our brains...The only question, then, is the same that afflicts Doc: Can we catch it?

Two men are standing in front of a counter, one with a walkie-talkie in his hand, in an industrial or kitchen setting. One man has curly hair and a green jacket, while the other, dressed in a suit, appears to be talking into a walkie-talkie.
