    Episode 184 – I Know That You Twisted Again Like We Did Last Summer
    Jan 8 2026

    Winter AND a new year? That can only mean one thing: it’s time for some creepy frozen lakes! Fulla dead people, these lakes.


    First up is a viral ghost story about Minnesota’s Lake Weller, and the ghostly radio signals that seem to be coming from its depths every winter. Ope! Jake and Wyatt then fumble the best chance anyone will ever get at a “76 Trombones” joke as they head to the Indian Himalayas to Roopkund! Also known as Skeleton Lake, you’ll NEVER GUESS what’s inside. And you’ll certainly never guess what happened there…

    Episode 183 – Weird Circles, or “We Are Not Using the Title Wyatt Suggested Under Any Circumstances”
    Dec 4 2025

    You ever see a perfect circle in nature and think, “Whoaaaa”? If so, this episode is for you! And if not, we’ll let you have this episode on a probationary basis!


    Talkin’ ’bout fairy circles – large, evenly spaced and perfectly round bare patches found in the grasses of the Namib Desert – and fairy rings, the eerie patterns of dead grass, extra luscious grass, or mushrooms, all three of which are almost certainly not caused by elf ejaculate. Almost.


    Brought to you by Japan: it’s less than half as far away as maps think!
