Welcome back, party people, to a very chaotic, completely unscripted milestone: our first-ever listener email episode!

This week, we are flying blind, reading your spooky, weird, and unexplainable stories completely fresh on camera. But before diving into the inbox, we recap our recent ghost-hunting night at Toronto’s historic (and beautifully stacked) Elgin and Winter Garden Theaters. From awkward hot flashes and sassy Ouija board spirits named Grace, to a terrifying, earsplitting scream during an Estes method session, the vibes were heavy, historical, and deeply unsettling.

Once the mailbag opens, things get truly creepastic. We cover a neighborhood UFO sighting, a hospital operating room where a heart monitor seemingly replayed a patient's final moments on loop, a spine-chilling 10-minute possession at a London tattoo shop, and a wartime basement in Hamilton protected by a team of glowing blue orbs. Wrap it all up with a mysterious, perfectly dry handprint left in a torrential downpour, a creepy old lady crawling out of a driveway culvert, and a heated debate over who actually invented "Summerween" back in 2006.

Pull up a chair, grab a cold drink, and join us for the ultimate season finale before we head out on our August summer hiatus!

Ahoy, Whimsy Weirdos! 🎙️ Grab your sea legs and pour yourself a glass of cheap rum (or a nice cup of tea if you’re trying to be fancy) because today, we are stripping away the Hollywood gloss and taking a crash course into the gritty, fascinating, and deeply weird reality of historical pirates.

In this episode, we are getting very whimsical, and a little dark. Together, we shatter everything we thought we knew about the Golden Age of Piracy (roughly 1650s to 1720s).

Did you know that life in the Royal Navy was an absolute living hell of maggot-infested biscuits and tyrannical captains? It turns out, most pirates weren’t born criminals, they were just fed-up mutinous workers looking for a better gig with actual benefits. We break down how a pirate ship was actually one of the most progressive, democratic workplaces of the 18th century, complete with equal voting rights, a system of checks and balances via the Quartermaster, and literal workers' comp (lose an arm, get 600 pieces of eight!).

We also dive deep into the legends of two pirate icons:

• Blackbeard (Edward Thatch/Teach): The absolute master of psychological marketing. We discuss his theatrical drama-kid energy, and how he strived to look like a literal smoking demon, holding the entire city of Charleston hostage for... medical supplies, and his brutal, 25-wound final showdown.
• Bartholomew "Black Bart" Roberts: The undisputed corporate CEO of the high seas who captured over 400 ships! He was a total sober dandy who wore a crimson damask waistcoat into battle, demanded lights out by 8:00 PM, banned gambling, and gave his ship musicians a mandatory day of rest on Sundays.

Plus, we bust the myth of buried treasure (spoiler: you can't bury a barrel of flour or silk in the sand), uncover the history of Cornish "wreckers" in Jacklynn's own criminal bloodline, discuss Stevie's royal connection to Robert de Bruce, and try (and hilariously fail) to find our true pirate names using a terrible internet generator.

It’s a short life and a merry one, mateys! Press play and join the crew!

Before diving into the cosmic deep end, the dynamic duo catches you up on life updates. Stevie’s gay lisp is officially back and better than ever after wrapping up his Invisalign journey.

Then, it’s time to activate your third eye chakra. This week, the Weirdos explore the fascinating phenomenon of Indigo Children. The story starts in the 1970s with Nancy Ann Tappy, a parapsychologist with synesthesia, a mind-bending neurological condition where senses involuntarily collide (like tasting words or seeing music as colours). Tappy began noticing a new generation of children possessing distinct indigo-coloured auras, high intuition, and a fierce resistance to traditional authority.

Jacklynn and Stevie break down Tappy’s four archetypes, the psychic traits associated with Indigos, like telepathic spirit communication and eerie past-life memories, and contrast them with healthy scientific skepticism, developmental psychology, the Barnum effect, and the overlap with ADHD and Autism.

In this episode, you’ll also hear about:

• 🌟 Pop icons Billie Eilish and Phineas navigating life with synesthesia.
• 🛸 Boris Kiprianovich, the famous Russian "Boy from Mars" who claimed a past life on the red planet.
• 🔬 A wild tangent about CERN shutting down the Large Hadron Collider and whether dimensional pockets are making the world feel a little lighter.
• ✨ Stevie and Jaclyn’s personal connection to Indigos, auras, big-eyed babies, and their shout-outs to the many wonderful Brads and Debs in their lives.

Are you an Indigo child? Do you see auras? Or are we all just a little bit whimsical? Tune in, find out.
