    PaTerodactyl Bros & Speleologists With Cave Pearls!

    Send us Fan Mail We're back with an actual episode!  And to shake things up even more…Hids goes first! They're talking about Thunderbirds, a supernatural being and belief of many North American indigenous peoples. They also talk a bit about the alleged 'thunderbird' caught in Arizona in the 1890s. Spoiler: It's a pterodactyl. Maybe. Probably. Jess takes us around the world to Yemen and the "Well of Hell" a massive sinkhole steeped in legend and mystery and is apparently rather beautiful and interesting once you get beyond the evil djinn that are said to be trapped there. Also, there are cave pearls!

    Metallica Should Write A Song About Blucifer

    Send us Fan Mail We are doing things a little different this week. AGAIN! As you may have noticed, we did not have our regular episode last Thursday. Jess is ramping up to finals in her classes and her focus and energy is on studying.  We randomly bought a mystery trip early in the year and finally got around to making that happen. We ended up getting a little over 48 hours in Denver, which is really cool since it's a place we both wanted to visit, we have friends there, and it's where Hids' campus is!  Hids gives us a brief overview of the conspiracy theories and oddities of the Denver International Airport, and we talk a bit about the ghost tour we took!

    427 Suitcases And The Most Talented Mozart

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Jess talks to us about the Willard Suitcase Project. This is a collection of suitcases that were found in the abandoned buildings of the Willard Asylum in New York State. Hids talks about Mozart…but not that one. Did you know Mozart had a sister who might have been even more talented than he was? We didn't! But now we do! Maria Anna Mozart was a child prodigy and toured Europe with her brother from the age of 10 years old until she turned 15 and was no longer considered a prodigy and had very little chance at a performance career in music, due to the societal expectations for women at the time.

    Hids' Haunted Campus & Jess' Mental Bake-Down. Oh, Did You Know We Hate Gen AI?

    Send us Fan Mail Wild Magic Surge!!! Two wild magic episodes in a row! Well, that's where our ADHD has taken us yet again. We can't help it! Hids gives us a quick history lesson on the Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design. Why? Well, because they are officially enrolled as a student there!!! (Also there are ghosts maybe probably.) Jess is talking about bread. Why? Why the heck not? Bread is awesome! Not just any bread, but shokupan, also known as Japanese Milk Bread. We also have an anti-Gen AI rant and some other random tangents and loads of warm embers!

    A Dream-Eating ADHD Cryptid And A Bit Of Séancing

    Send us Fan Mail After some back and forth with the Uno Cards, Jess goes first again! (Huzzah, Hids says!) Jess’ topic this episode is one of our favorite recurring cards: CRYPTIDS! We learn a bit about the Baku, a Japanese creature that eats nightmares! But be careful, if they’re really hungry they’ll eat your hopes and dreams, too! Hids gives us a look at the rise of Spiritualism in America during and after the Civil War and into the early 1900s. The rise in industrialism, innovations in science and photography and a terrible war with an incredible loss of life on a level never before seen by the people of the time led to a need for closure and solace.
