This episode explores Bigfoot from multiple angles and we welcome guests Gayle and Brandon to the show! We discuss, reported sightings, the Sierra Sounds, historic cases like Ape Canyon, and whether the creature is best understood as a flesh-and-blood cryptid, an interdimensional being, or something tied to folklore. The conversation matters because each speaker brings a distinct lens, from cautious skepticism to supernatural interpretation. Together, they weigh eyewitness testimony, track evidence, and the unsettling possibility that Bigfoot may not fit neatly into any one category.

Key topics

Mary and Haley wrap up their Marine Kingdom series with a mix of ocean science, folklore, and Bible references. They explore strange ocean phenomena, legendary sea creatures, and why so much of the deep still resists easy explanation. This episode moves from a true milky sea account to bioluminescent bacteria, deep-sea pressure, Antarctic oddities, and Leviathan. It’s part educational, part speculative, and fully centered on the mystery of what may still be hiding beneath the waves.

Key topics

Mary and Haley continue their Marine Kingdom series by revisiting the tale of Jonah and the whale. From sea gods, mermaids, and the spiritual symbolism of water across the Bible and ancient religions. The episode connects biblical narratives, ancient deities, and modern rituals like wishing wells and branding imagery to argue that water has long been tied to power, chaos, wealth, and worship and the water kingdom is very much real. 

In this episode, Mary and Haley discuss:

      *Jonah as more than a Sunday school story, including Nineveh’s violence,                 idolatry, and the prophet...

Season 2 opens with an abridged version of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid and then moves into a wide-ranging conversation about mermaid mythology, from biblical references and Mesopotamian water gods to modern sightings and internet folklore. Mary and Haley connect story, theology, folklore, and cultural memory to ask what mermaid legends might reveal about humanity’s long fascination with the sea.
