In the first holiday episode of the season, Chris and Cody talk about their favorite sexy bear: Santa Claus. First, Cody tells a really messed up story about a butcher who pickled children and were eventually thwarted by St. Nicholas. Then, Chris shares a UFO conspiracy theory, called Santa Claus, brought about by a former NASA employee who claimed a government cover-up. Next, Cody talks about the remains of St. Nicholas, bones that secrete a very special, healing substance. Finally, Chris discusses a crazy failed bank heist in Cisco, TX involving a man dressed as Santa. Drinks this week are Ménage à trois Gold Chardonnay and Cranberry Apple Cider Mocktail. Creep of the week is a skinwalker story by Araceli.

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!

In this minisode, we bring you another holiday treat filled with Icelandic lore and attic demons. First, Cody talks about a woman, cursed by name and by duty, who has a habit of saddling and riding men on Christmas. Then, Chris tells the story of one person’s creepy encounter - in a freaky a** attic - with a miniscule entity they never saw again. Can you guess the next topic?

In this Halloween episode, Cody and Chris go all OG and dive into witches, and it’s super fascinating. First, Cody talks about Mother Shipton, the female Nostradamus who could cause chamber pots to empty on men’s heads. Then, Chris shares a story (from an old book he loved) about a man who takes flight with some naked witches. Next, Cody discusses the witches of Abiquiu, New Mexico, which turned into the last known witch trials in North America. Finally, Chris talks about the witches of Trasmos, the one region of Spain excommunicated by the Catholic Church for witchcraft. Creep of the Week is an amazing witchy story by Lern. Drinks this week are Wicked Cranberry Cider and a Chris original.
