Are you afraid of clowns? Maybe you should be. When a “do not open” sign is ignored, a woman finds herself haunted by "The Cracking Man", a frightening clown doll with a noisy presence. In this episode, Greg dates a Christian clown, Dana stumbles into paranormal ASMR, the gang cracks a cursed doll case, and Connor digs up a terrifying true story of possession-by-clown. Get ready to enter the Big Top, because it's time to stoke your coulrophobia!

We Took Jeff Goldblum Bigfoot Hunting (Yes, Really)
We encountered a mythical creature in the forest... and took him Bigfoot hunting. In this episode, we recount the time we took actual movie star Jeff Goldblum on a quest to track Sasquatch in the California Redwoods. Put on a silly hat and join us as the gang practices their Bigfoot calls, Connor takes a huge whiff of Sasquatch Pheromones (and loses his sense of smell), Dana gets farted on by a cryptozoologist, Greg makes Jeff Goldblum charge a magick wand, and everyone gets the creeps listening to the "Sierra Sounds" - the best audio evidence of Bigfoot ever recorded.

UFOs in the USA: Presidential UAP Disclosure
If extraterrestrials asked you to run for president, would you? Gabriel Green answered the call, and became the world's first presidential candidate to campaign on a platform of UFO disclosure... in 1960. In this episode, we shed light on Gabe Green's long forgotten political career, Connor explains how aliens control the CIA, Dana wonders why aliens are so sexy, and Greg reveals that men from outer space aren't always who they seem. Gas up your moon pods and pack a roast beef sandwich, because we’re going on an adventure through disinformation, disclosure, and democracy!
