In this special update-isode, Chris and Cody give everyone an update on what's been going on in their lives. Chris is busy as ever being a fancy schmancy director. Cody's been traveling, and his travels have included some fun paranormal stuffs, so he shares stories and info about his friend's haunted house and also Chichen Itza, the wonder of the world where people were sacrificed and their ghosts are said to haunt the place to this day. Tune in to find out what's going on!

We have a very special live episode for you recorded for the Arizona Theatre Matters 2022 Festival. In it, we talk all about seances (as if it wasn’t obvious from our last minisode). First, Cody talks about Helen Duncan, the last woman tried as a witch in Britain for talking to dead soldiers during WW2. Then, Chris discusses Mae West, the Hollywood starlet fascinated by seances. Next, Cody shares the story of a man who sets up a fake seance only to have the real thing thrown in his face. Finally, Chris talks about a crazy seance set up in a haunted Toys R Us…You read that right. Our drinks were whatever the heck we wanted to make for this special.

Oh “baby”, do we have an episode for you! In this woo-fest, we talk about all sorts of paranormal pregnancies. First, Cody talks about Amanda Teague, a woman in Ireland who married a ghost pirate whom she believes impregnated her. Then, Chris shares creepy encounters with the paranormal that coincided with different pregnancies. Next, Cody dives into ancestral pregnancies, which discusses how incidents that occurred during past childbirths can affect pregnant women today. Finally, Chris tells us the “wooest”, most “far out” story regarding half-extraterrestrial-half-human babies called hybrid children. This week’s drinks consist of a Starbucks Frappuccino and Ruby Red Grapefruit with Rosemary Simple Syrup.

Creep of the Week:
https://abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/paranormal-activity-pregnancy-announcement-give-goosebumps/story?id=36174413

In this minisode, we bring two stories with something (subtle) in common. First, Chris tells a true crime story about a man who, desperate for money, kills two people - to create the dumbest alibi ever - and calmly performs on stage right after. Then, Cody dives into the world of cinema and talks about cursed film sets. He focuses on the Conjuring Universe as a throwback to previous episodes (whee!). Can you guess next week’s topic?

This week, Cody and Chris talk about the ultra-fascinating Cellular Memory Phenomenon (CPT). CPT is a crazy occurrence in which an organ recipient takes on personality traits of their donor. First, Cody talks about Clair Sylvia, who after a heart/lung transplant, suddenly had a hankering for chicken nuggets and beer. Then, Chris discusses a donor who predicted his death...and the girl he would give his heart to. Literally. Next, Cody brings the mood down with a story about a man who ended up marrying his donor’s wife and then met the same horrible fate. Finally, Chris tells us about a (douchey) guy who became much more sexually proficient following his transplant. Creep of the Week comes from a listener, who as a flight attendant, stayed in the creepiest hotel ever! This week’s drinks are a mixed berry smoothie and Pineapple Truly.

A Change of Heart

In this minisode, Cody and Chris share two truly bizarre cases that have to do with organs (the human kind). First, Cody discusses an insane case of pettiness, where a husband wants the kidney back that he donated to his soon-to-be ex-wife. Then, Chris tells a recent story about a prison inmate who was brutally murdered and his organs removed. Even more insane, they were never found (that we know of). Can you guess our next topic from these stories?

**Trigger warning: This episode contains discussions of sexual violation and violence.**
In this episode, Cody and Chris get explicit (well, more so than usual) and discuss the Succubus and Incubus, or demons who have sex with people. First, Cody tells us about Pope Sylvester II, the priest who made a deal with a succubus in order to reach his rank. Then, Chris shares the story of a gay couple who was touched upon and thrust upon by the same entity. Next, Cody discusses a 16-year-old nerd who summons a Succubus for his own personal exploration. Finally, Chris talks about Doris Bither, the real life case that became the basis for the book and film, The Entity. For Creep of the Week, we hear the thrilling conclusion of Rich’s (@vinylbear) Ouija board story. This week’s drinks are Monster Energy Drink and Kilt Lifter.

In this minisode, things get pretty dirty (you may not want to listen with the kids around). First, Chris shares the story of a man in New Zealand who may or may not be cheating on his wife...with a supernatural being. Then, Cody tells about a bipolar man’s comforting sexual encounter with an invisible entity (he literally sees the stars in her eyes). Can you guess next week’s topic from this pseudo porn?

In this episode, Cody and Chris discuss creepy unexplainable sounds from around the world. First, Cody shares a potential alien communication known as the Wow! Signal. Then, Chris talks about a paranormal “hum” that has been heard across the world, including a place not too far from where he grew up: Taos, New Mexico. Next, Cody discusses the Sky Trumpets, melodic sounds from the heavens that some think are a sign of the apocalypse. Finally, Chris talks about a recent noise that involves the government: Havana Syndrome. For Creep of the Week, (Vinyl Bear) Rich shares the second part of his wild Ouija story (part one is in our previous episode). Drinks/food this week are Cuban Arroz Dulce and 4 Loko Watermelon (Cody misunderstood the assignment).

Cody and Chris have a new explosively creepy minisode out today.  In it, they discuss two stories that really are somehow connected.  First, Cody doesn’t know who James Fenimore Cooper is, but he talks about his short story and a resulting, unidentified “boom” heard across the country.  Next, Chris tells a story that REALLY freaked him out. In it, a guy talks about a whistler that “followed” him through his life. See the video below and experience the creepiness!  Can you guess our topic?

We hope everyone is staying safe out there! For this episode, we decided to focus on other pandemics - screw you, Covid! - that had paranormal consequences. First, Cody talks about people who’ve gotten freakishly sick after paranormal encounters. This story has throwbacks to four past episodes: Men in Black, Shadow Men, Slenderman, and Black-Eyed Kids! Then, Chris talks about Poveglia Island, a secluded island where people with the Bubonic Plague were shipped without mercy (naturally, it’s super haunted after so much ickiness). Next, Cody dives into Waverly Hills Sanitorium, a “hospital” where people with tuberculosis were sent. A lot of cruelty there happened - in the name of research - and disgruntled ghosts still walk the place. Finally, Chris shares the true story of Typhoid Mary, a cook who refused to stop working, and ended up infecting a ton of people. Her ghost is said to still walk the earth! Drinks this week are peach lemonade and Shock Top white ale.

Because we are keeping our distance, and the world is a weird place right now now, we thought we would do our part to try and entertain you. Therefore, this minisode was livestreamed on Facebook, woot! First, we share a bit about where our lives are during this scary limbo. Then, Cody gets into his story, sharing three predictions of Covid-19 from very different perspectives. Finally, Chris reads a novella about a haunted farmhouse and missing designer pants. Can you guess our next topic?

Counting can be evil, especially when it comes to the number 666. In this episode, Chris and Cody discuss the number of the beast. First, Cody shares horrifying instances involving the demonic phone number 666-666-6666. Next, Chris talks about the infamous highway once known as Route 666, where some really creepy things occur. Then, Cody gets into barcodes, which some consider the literal mark of the beast. EEK! Finally, Chris tells a story about a woman who sees 666 everywhere. On top of that, the family house has some freakish ghostly encounters. After believer/skeptic, we have a Creep of the Week from avid listener Rich! His story about the Hat Man might actually spawn a future topic! Drinks this week are Jalapeño Ginger Spritz and San Tan Devil’s Ale.

In this week’s minisode, we bring you a couple of “childish” stories. First, Chris tells us all about a Swedish Monk whose well-preserved remains revealed something even more mysterious than expected. Then, Cody shares the story of a woman who recorded footage of her baby sleeping with a creepy a** ghost newborn. Do you have any guesses about our next episode? Hint: It’s sort of a continuation of our Valentine’s Special.

This week’s minisode consists of two coincidentally connected stories! First, Cody talks about something called Angel Numbers, a phenomenon in which Angels speak to you through certain number sequences. Then, Chris tells a very touching story about one woman's relationship with her father through the numbers 11:11. Can you guess next week’s topic?

This episode is creepy! For reals, you have been warned. In this one, we talk about scary paranormal games you can play from the “comfort" of your home. Ouija isn’t one, as that will be its own episode. But rest assured, these are subjectively worse. First, Chris talks about how to summon The Midnight Man, a spirit who will play with you all night. He also shares one person’s horrifying experience with the game. Next, Cody gives you directions on how to play One Man Hide and Seek, a game where you summon a spirit into a doll. Then, Chris tells us how to play The Man in the Fields - a game where you try to escape a scarecrow invader - and shares one (VERY) brave person’s experience. Finally, Cody gives us the grisly story of two girls who play One Man Hide and Seek using the wrong rules. Creep of the Week is a home haunting story from one of our very own listeners, Lern (yay). Drinks are Dark Invader Cocktail and Precarious Pinot Noir.

Here is a minisode that might easily tease our upcoming topic, but you tell us.  First, Chris talks about La Cegua, a South American creature who literally tears men apart, and how to summon her (EEK!).  Then, Cody tells the history of the Charlie Charlie Challenge, a summoning ritual that took the Internet by storm a few years ago.

In our third annual Valentine’s episode, we talk about spectrophilia (ghost lovin’!) and ancient fertility (Editor’s Note: This episode is insane!). First, Cody shares two stories of women who fell in love (and had mega sex) with ghosts. One of them even joined the spectral mile high club. Then, Chris gives the history of Kokopelli, a popular Native American god, who is actually the god of fertility (and is often associated with a huge...um....flute). Next, Cody gives a series of steps on how to properly lure a ghost for sexy fun time. Chris finishes us off with some crazy stories of fertility and sex in ancient Egypt. Creep of the Week is a Valentine’s story about a loving stalker (ew). Drinks are Cupid’s Arrow and Moon Juice IPA.

This week’s minisode is all about that wretched day known as St. Valentine’s Day (NOTE: Chris wrote that, tee hee). So that’s one hint for next week’s full episode. In the first story, Cody shares some interesting - and disgusting and weird and funny - aphrodisiacs that we missed in our Aphrodisiacs special. Then, Chris tells a story in which the loss of a ring lends itself to an eternity of undying love. Can you guess what we are talking about next week?

A recent viral story led to this topic, and it’s a fun one! In this episode, Chris and Cody talk all about haunted dolls. First, Cody shares the viral tale of a haunted Elsa doll that became bilingual then refused to be thrown away. Then, Chris talks about Letta Me Out, a creepy marionette that got its drag queen name after asking to be let out of a car. Yeah. Next, Cody discusses Ruby, a doll that puts people into a loving, maternal trance. Finally, Chris tells the tale of Peggy, a doll so disturbing, people get haunted just by looking at pictures of her. Creep of the Week is a horrific Ebay listing of a doll you can actually purchase. This week's drinks are the Barbie Mocktail and Smirnoff Ice Smash.

In this minisode, Cody and Chris amp up the creep factor. Well, Chris does (and Cody amps up the silly). First, Cody shares two short stories about used clothes that may or may not be haunted...told from the perspective of the ghosts. Next, Chris talks about a REALLY strange and fascinating painting called The Hands Resist Him. The oddity really has a life of its own. You’ll understand once you listen. Can you guess next week’s topic from these stories?

In this episode, Cody and Chris discuss the Butterfly Effect, a mathematical concept from the Chaos Theory, but in this episode we talk about how it applies to fate and real life situations. First, Cody tells us about a sandwich that led to an assassination that spawned WWI. Sticking to assassinations, Chris then tells us how wealth led to military service that led to an injury that may have lead to John F. Kennedy’s death. Cody then shares a story about how one girl was saved from Nazi gas chambers by a simple display of affection. Lastly, Chris discusses one man’s amazing journey, and how a job loss would change his future forever. Drinks this week are Butterfly Pea Flower Tea Lemonade and Beringer White Zinfandel.

In this minisode, Chris and Cody share two seemingly random stories that really do hint at next week's episode. We promise! First, Chris reads a story about a woman who saves hummingbirds that will give you all the feels. Then, Cody talks about a couple obsessed with getting McDonald's coffee, and it ends up saving their lives. DUN DUN DUNNNNN!! See if you can guess next week's topic.

Happy New Year! The New Year is all about what the future has in store. So this week, we are talking about well known seers and their prophecies. First, Cody tells us about the most famous seer, Nostradamus, who was actually a poetic prophet (trademark pending). Chris then tells of the blind Bulgarian seer, Baba Vanga, who made some crazy accurate predictions. Cody’s second story has to do with Edgar Cayce, the sleeping prophet who made diagnoses in a trance-like state. Chris’s last story is about a seer from Scotland known as The Brahan Seer, who gave some weird predictions on trains and sewer lines. For creep of the week, Cody and Chris share 2020 predictions from Nostradamus and Baba Vanga. Drinks of the week are Good Earth Sweet and Spicy Tea and Navigator Red Blend.

Happy Valentine’s Day! In our traditional(ish) V-day Special, we talk about crazy stories related to couples. Coincidentally, Cody and Chris cover one story each, making it a couple of stories about couples. In his story, Cody talks about a Chinese tradition called the Ghost Marriage, in which the dead marry each other in a bizarre ceremony involving paper furniture. This tradition even expands to the living, with women marrying dead men. Then, Chris shares the unsolved, unexplained true-crime story known as the Texarkana Moonlight Murders, in which a man with a pillow-case mask murders necking couples on lover’s lanes. This week’s drinks are San Tan Sex Panther and Champagne Strawberry Love Slushie.

It's the New Year again! Chris and Cody are coming at you with their second resolutions minisode. In this one, they talk about their holiday plans, resolutions, and other personal things, all while sipping grape wine coolers. Then, they jump into the podcast, discussing the year's favorite episodes, most surprising topics, firsts (there were a lot!) and more! Finally, they look ahead and discuss 2020 and what's to come for the podcast. Happy New Year, everyone!

To balance out our last episode’s bleakness, this week we bring you joy! While sad things do happen around the holidays, miraculous things also occur. And so, in this holiday special, we are sharing miracles that happened during the season. First, Cody talks about the Hermanstorfers, a family that died and lived on Christmas Eve. Then, Chris shares the story of Donna Molnar, a woman who froze, outside, for days, and managed to survive. She’s like the Minnesota Ice Woman (throwback!) on crack. Next, Cody goes back to The Great Depression to discuss the HatBox Baby, an infant who was miraculously found in the middle of the desert. Finally, Chris enlightens us on all the happenings around the miracle of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Instead of Creep of the Week, we exchange fun gifts (pictures to come!). This week's drinks are mulled wine and Gerfjeisjlsfijne cookies (spelling pending).

Next, Cody tells the cutest story ever about a sheep that saved Christmas…nativity performances. Who knew sheep could act? See if you can guess our upcoming topic!

It’s the holiday season, so we bring you…dread. Whilst they are usually full of cheer, the holidays also have a sinister side. So in this episode, we bring you the dark side of the season. In Cody’s first story, he talks about an unusual case of Christmas spontaneous combustion. Chris then tells the interesting story of the Los Feliz Murder Mansion that inspired American Horror Story. Next, Cody talks about the fascinating mystery behind ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. Finally, Chris discusses The Warminster Thing, a sound generating, car stopping, heart pounding...thing. This week’s Creep of the Week is a weird elf story from Reddit. This weeks drinks are Cranberry Ginger Shandy and Corsendonk Christmas Ale. And don’t worry: Next week’s episode will be merry and bright.

Cody and Chris start off the holiday season with two interesting stories to get you into the holiday spirit. Well, if by spirits, you mean drinking the weirdness away. First, Chris tells the tale of a stranger who may or may not be stalking a couple in their remote Christmas cabin. Next, Cody tells the sad story of a woman who died in a cemetery - surrounded by comedy tapes and a Christmas tree - and has yet to be identified. Can you guess next week's topic?

It’s the week of Thanksgiving, and as the American holiday is all about tradition, we thought we would bring you another year of Native American myths and legends. In the first story, Cody tells us about the Skudakumooch, the ghost witch that preys on people around cemeteries. Next Chris discusses the Floating Heads of the Iroquois (differerent from the Rolling Heads from last week’s minisode). Cody then talks about the Wendigo, a cannibalistic creature that spawned a grisly true story. Finally, Chris shares a fascinating tale about the Legend of the Deer Woman, a shapeshifter who entices men to their doom (DOOM!). Creep of the Week is from Natalie Evans of the podcast “Some Kind of Brown.” Here, she tells us the beautiful myth of the Red Bird. This week’s drinks are Grape Smirnoff Ice, Grand Canyon Kachina Beer, and a variety of ciders.

In this minisode Cody and Chris discuss some fascinating lore. First, Cody talks about the Rolling Heads, terrifying beings created from autocannibalism (eating yourself!). You have to hear it to believe it! Next, Chris tells about Kachinas, friendly spirits from Native American tribes in the Southwest. Can you guess our next topic from these stories?

In this special belated Halloween episode, Cody and Chris are joined by friend (and neighbor) Tracy! Tracy is well-versed in many things, and her graduate dissertation - on vampires, of all things!! - was actually the inspiration for this episode’s topic: Classic Movie Monsters. First, Cody starts us off by discussing Frankenstein and real attempts in the 1700s to reanimate the dead. Next, Chris tells a very graphic story regarding a case of lycanthropy (please be forewarned, this story contains situations of assault, violence, murder and incest). Lastly, Tracy gives an amazing lesson on vampires, diving into their history and how they have become relevant in popular culture. Creep of the Week is a story of a cupboard haunting by one of our listeners. This week’s drinks are Francis Ford Coppola wine, Wild Vines blackberry merlot, and Werewolf beer.

This week's minisode features two completely different stories that still tie in to next week's topic. First, Chris tells a story about the strange Aboriginal cryptid called the Bunyip. The horror is made up of at least 28,000 different animals. Then, Cody shares the true story behind the movie classic, The Blob! Yes, it's actually based (very, very, very loosely) on an actual event that occurred in Philadelphia. See if you can guess next week's full topic from these stories.

Welcome to our first show in front of a live audience! And what a special night it was! In this (longer than normal) episode, we were inspired by Freakshows and decided to talk about people with weird abilities. Once the audience settles down and we go through drinking game rules, Cody starts things off with the story of a woman who claimed she could smell Parkinson’s Disease… Yeah. Next, Chris talks about creepy faces, known as the Faces of Belméz, that are projected from a woman onto her kitchen floor. Cody then discusses two real-life firestarters. Speaking of fire, Chris’s next story is about John Irving Bentley, a victim of Spontaneous Human Combustion. Cody then shares the story that was the inspiration for our whole theme: The Minnesota Ice Woman. Chris finishes things up by discussing Mexican folklore (more specifically, a creature known as La Lechuza). For Creep of the Week, we are joined by our friend Liliana Espinoza, who shares a personal, touching story. Drinks for this special night are Melodramatic Red Blend and True Colors wine.

In this week’s minisode, we bring some stories to warm you up before (the often-dreaded) Valentine’s Day. First, Cody plays a true-or-false game with Chris around three romantic urban legends, one involving a moose and a plastic deer. Then, Chris tells the story of one person’s experience at the haunted Hockey Hall of Fame with a date she completely friend zones. Your guess on the next topic is as good as ours!

Y'all. This really fascinating minisode hints to our LIVE SHOW!!! Yes, our live show is coming soon to ears near you (or attached to you). And that’s surprisingly relevant to this minisode. This week, Cody talks about Daniel Kish, a visually impaired man dubbed "the real life batman." Chris then shares the touching story of John Merrick, also known as The Elephant Man. Can you guess our next topic?

We have a VERY special episode this week! Coming all the way from Wisconsin, Cody’s twin sister, Cory, is our first guest of the season. So, guess what we are talking about? You got it: Twins! This episode’s history is quite interesting, telling all about twins throughout history (and in mythology). Then, Chris’s first story is about the infamous pair of girls known as The Silent Twins. Next, Cody talks about Swedish twins, Sabina and Ursula Eriksson, who had a mutual, crazy a** breakdown in London. To get everyone in the Fall mood, Chris tells us about two basic AF, PSL-drinking girls known as the Yoga Twins (it’s a modern day Cain and Abel tale). Finally, Cory and Cody share some of their personal stories and insights on growing up as twins. Creep of the Week is a touching throwback to God Winks from one of our listeners. This week’s drinks are Evil Twin IPA and Two Vines Cabernet.

In this week’s minisode, Cody and Chris have two fascinating stories (while Chris tries to manage his hiccups). In the first story, Cody does a throwback to an earlier episode and talks about girls reincarnated back into the same family. Next (hiccup!), Chris tells the infamous story of the Hilton sisters (hence our title!), conjoined twins who got famous on the Vaudeville circuit. Take a listen to these engrossing stories and see if you can guess next week's topic.

In this episode, Cody and Chris are a blast from the past (because Chris is old). Yes, we are talking about time travel and time blips. First, Cody fascinates us by talking about John Titor, a man claiming to be from the future, where he fought in the next American Civil War. Next, Chris shares the famous story of Charlotte Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain, two women who went to the past, at the Palace of Versailles, and met Marie Antoinette. Cody then discusses a man, known simply as “Noah”, who is stuck in 2019, where assassins from the future might catch him. Lastly, Chris tells of an insane little car trip between two states...and times. Creep of the Week is a story from the distant distant distant future. This week’s drinks are Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and Miles From Nowhere Cab-Merlot blend.

Creep of the Week

In their newest minisode, Cody and Chris share two stories - about time and space - that couldn't be more different. First, Chris tells the fascinating story of Rudolph Fentz, who either lived in two different times or not at all. Then, Cody discusses a weird government project known as The Philadelphia Experiment, where a naval vessel either existed in two places or not at all. Can you guess our next topic?

In this episode, Cody and Chris take inspiration from the International UFO Congress and talk all about Men In Black. Cody’s first story is about Dr. Herbert Hopkins, who was threatened with eradication by the MIB. Next, Chris shares actor Dan Akroyd’s experience with the strange beings who tried to cancel his UFO series. Cody’s next story is about Paul Miller, who shot an alien while hunting then was visited by the MIB. Chris’s last story veers from aliens and discusses the MIB’s involvement with none other than Mothman. Our Creep of the Week is a fascinating story about ghosts on a famous ship from listener “Lern” (Chris pronounced it wrong, DOH!). Drinks/snacks this week are Bomb Pops and 805 Ale.

This week’s minisode is a little out of the norm, but it’s fascinating. Yes, we give you a clue to our next episode, but we’re not sure what it is yet. Confused? Let us explain. This week, we attended the International UFO Congress and learned a TON about aliens, abductions, theories, sightings, star beings, etc... Therefore, in this minisode, we talk about our experiences and highlights. Then, we’ll choose a topic from what we learned and explore it further. Get ready for a crazy ride next week.

In this episode, we took inspiration from a story in a previous episode and discuss reincarnation and past life regression therapy. Cody first talks about a child who returns to a previous life where he meddles in family affairs and then names his murderer! Then, Chris tells the fascinating story of Jenny Cockell (tee-hee!) and her past life as orphan Mary Sutton. After that, Cody discusses Barbro Karlen, who tells about her tragic and amazing past life as Anne Frank. Finally, Chris pulls a story from Reddit about a girl who tells her frightening regression therapy experience. In Creep of the Week, Chris gives us quotes from children who made their parents believe they are reincarnated. This week’s drinks are Travelin’ Light Kolsch and New Age White Wine.

Past Life Regression Session

In this week’s episode, Cody and Chris take a dive into life and the different twists and turns it can take. First, Chris talks about someone who wakes up in the body of another person. Then, Cody gives us a story with a surprisingly happy ending (whoa). It talks about a woman who, despite attempted murder and other insane roadblocks, gets a second chance at life. Can you guess our upcoming topic from these hints?

In this episode, Cody and Chris discuss the strange phenomenon commonly known as speaking in tongues. To you science nerds, it’s glossolalia, xenolalia, and Foreign Accent Syndrome (listen in to learn what they are). In Cody’s first story, he discusses glossolalia as it relates to Megan Fox and Katy Perry (you read that right). Chris then turns to Reddit and reads someone’s personal experience with speaking in tongues. Cody’s next story has some supernatural aspects and deals with a woman who mysteriously starts speaking German. Chris’s last story comes from a science journal and tells of a Belgian woman who, one day, started sounding like she was from another country. They then discuss scientists in Glasgow, who have created an artificial whiskey-tasting tongue. This week’s drinks: Whispering Angel rosé and Sideshow the Charmer shiraz.

https://www.slashgear.com/artificial-tongue-is-meant-to-taste-whiskey-08586684/

In this episode, we talk all about Norse Mythology, creatures, and lore. First, Cody discusses the Draugar, a zombie-like creature that can shape-shift and eats livestock to ruin our lives. Then, Chris talks all about the gigantic cephalopod known as the Kraken (it’s actually Norse, not Greek!). Next, Cody shares a very funny legend about the god Thor and his day in drag. Finally, Chris tells us about legends and beliefs centered around one of the most beautiful phenomena of nature: the Northern Lights. Creep of the Week is an article about Vikings in America. This week’s drinks/snacks are Ménage à Trois Sultry Red and Swedish Fish.

The clues in this minisode are vague, but see if you can guess next week's topic from these stories. First, Chris shares a tale about a kid who discovers a crazy secret room in a mega church. Then, Cody talks about the world's most mysterious manuscript. It has things that don't even exist in this world!

Weeeee’reeee baaaacckkk! This is the first episode of season three...and our two year anniversary...AND our 50th episode! YAY! To start off the season, we took inspiration from Midsommar and Once Upon a Time In Hollywood and decided to talk about cults. Cody starts us off with one of the most notorious cults, based out of Waco TX: The Branch Davidians. Chris then discusses a Russian cult that seems more cute than dangerous, worshipping an 90s cartoon character. Cody then takes us to other planets to meet Jesus and other deities. Finally, Chris tells a story of a lesser known cult out of Kentucky known as the Vampire Clan. After our stories, we have a call-to-action for a brand new segment, Creep of the Week. Drinks are Champagne and Prayers of Sinners Red Blend.

Erhmagerd! Ner cernternt! That was supposed to be “New content”. Yeah. Anyway, we are back with our teaser for season 3's first episode! And it’s a doozy. In it, Chris talks about an old Druid tradition that Nicholas Cage ruined like he does everything else (Boom!). Then, Cody discusses a deity worshipped by using American patriotism. Listen now!
