#12 - The Mongolian Death Worm

Super Mystery Bros

Gobi Desert, Mongolia.

Deep beneath the surface of one of the most desolate and inhospitable regions of the world allegedly lurks an unseen killing machine that lies in wait for its favorite prey – humans, to cross its path before popping up out of the surface to spit deadly corrosive acid and/or electricity at its unsuspecting victims.

Despite Western science nerds dismissing the accounts as mere fantasy, the nomads who have spent their entire lives living in the area swear up and down that it’s real, and as serious as a heart attack.

Join Ivan and Nate on this very special edition of Super Mystery Bros, featuring a special guest, some guy named “Peter”, who has personally traveled into this area in search of the elusive creature the locals call “olgoi-khorkhoi”, or to the rest of the world, the “Mongolian Death Worm”.
