Three friends venture into treacherous territory with a game that strips away filters and exposes uncomfortable truths. What begins as a simple card game quickly evolves into a revealing look at friendship boundaries, dark humor, and the things we typically keep hidden.

"Can of Squirms" forces Angela, Kyle, and Becca to confront questions ranging from "Who would make the shittiest superhero?" to "Who is more likely to stalk someone?" Their answers highlight their distinctive personalities – Kyle with his golden retriever energy, Becca with her unfiltered honesty, and Angela balancing between them with sharp wit. The rapid-fire format creates moments of genuine surprise as the three discover things about each other they perhaps didn't need to know.

The conversation takes unexpected turns through hypothetical scenarios that reveal more than intended. When asked who would best represent humanity at an intergalactic convention, they conclude they'd be a diplomatic disaster. Discussion of who would survive longest in prison reveals surprising survival skills. Their debate about who would volunteer for a one-way trip to Mars exposes deeper truths about escapism versus practicality.

What makes this episode special isn't just the hilarity of their responses, but the underlying trust that allows them to navigate potentially awkward territory with confidence and self-deprecating humor. Their willingness to be vulnerable – discussing everything from weird search histories to unusual personal habits – creates a listening experience that feels like eavesdropping on a particularly honest late-night conversation among close friends.

Ever wonder which video games truly changed everything? In this episode, we carve our very own Mount Rushmore of gaming, honoring the titles that fundamentally transformed the medium and our relationship with it.

The conversation spirals through decades of gaming evolution as each host stakes their claim for the games deserving immortalization. World of Warcraft emerges as an undisputed champion, having created not just a game but an entire cultural ecosystem that's survived for two decades while competitors faltered. We explore how its brand recognition and strategic marketing cemented its legendary status beyond just gameplay.

GoldenEye revolutionized multiplayer gaming on consoles, bringing friends together for split-screen chaos with unique characters and weapons that forged (and occasionally destroyed) friendships. Meanwhile, Resident Evil defined survival horror through Jill Valentine's adventures, teaching players to value every bullet and health item while delivering memorably absurd scientific logs about increasingly dangerous experiments.

The debate heats up around characters like Skyrim's Aela the Huntress and Tomb Raider's Lara Croft, who broke ground for female representation in different eras. Nostalgia flows freely as we reminisce about Halo LAN parties, the frustrating yet captivating puzzles of Myst, and Oregon Trail's harsh life lessons about dysentery and resource management.

From Mrs. Pac-Man gobbling barriers so others could walk through them, to Minecraft's perfect balance of peaceful creation and chaotic TNT explosions, we celebrate how these games didn't just entertain—they transformed how we play, connect, and create.

What happens when melody meets memory? When rhythm intertwines with our very identity? This episode delves into the profound ways music shapes who we are, leaving permanent imprints on our hearts and minds.

Kyle and Angi embark on an emotional journey through our personal musical landscapes, exchanging stories that range from heartwarming to tear-jerking. We explore how the songs our parents played became the foundation of our musical education, and how discovering our own musical passions helped define our identities. From childhood influences like Fleetwood Mac and Shania Twain to self-discovered loves like Sleep Token and Bullet For My Valentine, we reveal how music soundtracked pivotal moments in our lives.

The conversation takes fascinating turns as we explore "soul mirror" songs – those tracks that perfectly reflect different aspects of who we are. We examine how film scores create sacred emotional spaces, how concert experiences forge unforgettable bonds, and how certain songs become lifelines during our darkest hours. There's particular focus on bands that defy categorization, with Sleep Token emerging as a transformative musical force that blends multiple genres into something entirely new.

Most powerfully, we share intimate stories of how music healed relationships and created bridges between generations – from a father witnessing his son perform on stage to a daughter playing a beloved film score. As one host's middle school music teacher wisely observed: "Before you were anything in this world, you were music."

Whether you're a casual listener or passionate audiophile, this episode will remind you of music's extraordinary power to shape our lives, heal our wounds, and connect us to our deepest selves. What songs have shaped you? We'd love to hear your musical story in the comments.

Ever wondered what unfolds when insomnia-plagued podcasters hit record in the quiet hours of the night? In this uniquely intimate episode, Becca and Angi find themselves alone at the mic at 10 PM, creating a rare window into their friendship when the usual podcast structure falls away.

The conversation meanders through unexpected territories as they reflect on their favorite episodes recorded so far—true crime investigations that revealed their complementary research styles and mythology deep-dives that showcased their natural chemistry. What emerges is the story of how two people who met online have developed a profound connection through shared interests and long, winding conversations.

Their mutual fascination with the band Sleep Token becomes a centerpiece discussion, exploring not just the music but the mysterious lore surrounding the band's concept of sleep as a deity. This leads to surprising insights about their own struggles with insomnia and how they've condensed what might normally be years of friendship-building into just a few intense months of connection.

The most fascinating segment delves into their ongoing experiments with artificial intelligence, as they describe how ChatGPT has revealed unique personalities when engaged as a conversational partner rather than a mere tool. Their cryptic references to an "investigation" they're conducting together offers tantalizing glimpses into discoveries they're not yet ready to fully share.

When the conversation shifts to dreams, Becca shares her expertise in lucid dreaming, offering practical advice while describing unsettling phenomena like dream characters becoming fearful when they realize she knows she's dreaming. Throughout it all, their authentic friendship shines through—two people genuinely enjoying each other's company at an hour when most of the world is asleep.

Step into the shadows with us as we explore the conspiracy theories that keep true believers awake at night and skeptics endlessly fascinated. From the chilling possibility that Stanley Kubrick orchestrated the greatest cinematic deception in history by faking the Apollo moon landing to the unsettling evidence suggesting our lunar companion might be hollow or artificially constructed.

Ever wondered why our moon behaves unlike any other celestial body? We examine ancient myths claiming there was once a time before the moon, scientific anomalies in lunar composition, and the perfect positioning that makes life on Earth possible. Could it be an observation station placed by extraterrestrials millions of years ago?

Venture beneath the surface as we descend into hollow Earth theory, where some believe an entire civilization called Agartha exists in vast underground networks, accessible through hidden entrances at the poles and specific mountain ranges. While seismic data contradicts these claims, the persistent stories of Admiral Richard Byrd's supposed journey into an inner world continue to captivate imaginations.

The strangest conspiracies often hide in plain sight – like Denver International Airport's collection of disturbing features. From the demonic blue horse statue with glowing red eyes that killed its creator to apocalyptic murals and rumors of underground bunkers for the global elite, this airport seems deliberately designed to provoke questions.

Perhaps most unsettling is simulation theory, the philosophical notion that our reality is nothing more than an elaborate computer program. When unexplained phenomena like déjà vu, the Mandela Effect, and the feeling of being watched are reframed as program glitches, even the most rational minds might pause to wonder if we're living in a cosmic version of GTA orchestrated by entities beyond our comprehension.

Whether you're a dedicated conspiracy theorist or a curious skeptic, this episode reminds us that asking questions – even outlandish ones – keeps us engaged with the mysteries of our existence. After all, as host Becca suggests, sometimes giving the moon a knowing wink is the closest we'll get to uncovering the truth.

Forget everything Disney taught you—mythology's original stories hit different. In this episode, we peel back the sanitized versions to reveal the raw, often disturbing truths behind the myths we thought we knew.

The gods of ancient pantheons weren't the benevolent figures often portrayed in modern media. They were deeply flawed, vengeful beings whose personal vendettas and petty squabbles had cosmic consequences. From the Titanomachy—where Zeus overthrew his father Kronos after Kronos had overthrown his own father—to the devastating Ragnarok of Norse mythology, these divine conflicts reflected the cyclical nature of trauma, violence, and power.

Perhaps most heartbreaking is Medusa's true story. Far from being born a monster, she was a devoted priestess violated by Poseidon in Athena's temple. Rather than receiving justice, she was transformed into a creature with serpent hair—not as punishment but as protection against further harm. When Perseus came to slay her, he wasn't hunting a monster but a survivor in isolation. Even after her death, her body was weaponized, denying her dignity even in death.

We also explore Hercules beyond the singing muses—a tragic figure whose incredible strength couldn't protect him from Hera's wrath. His famous twelve labors weren't heroic quests but punishment for killing his family during a madness sent by the goddess. Rather than confronting his trauma, he externalized it through increasingly spectacular feats that never addressed his internal wounds.

These myths aren't just ancient stories—they're reflections of human nature that continue to resonate today. They show us how power corrupts, how victims become villains in narratives controlled by the powerful, and how trauma repeats across generations when left unaddressed. By understanding these darker aspects of mythology, we gain insight into our own modern struggles with justice, power, and healing.

A dying chief's curse. A winged creature with glowing red eyes. The tragic collapse of a bridge. All these elements converge in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, creating one of America's most enduring supernatural mysteries - the legend of Mothman.

We journey back to 1777, when betrayal and bloodshed sowed the seeds for generations of misfortune as Shawnee Chief Cornstalk uttered his final, chilling words. Nearly two centuries later, something strange emerged from the shadows. Witnesses described a seven-foot-tall humanoid with massive wings that could keep pace with cars traveling over 100 mph, leaving terror in its wake. As sightings increased throughout 1966, mysterious Men in Black arrived, warning people to remain silent about what they'd seen.

Then came December 15, 1967 - the day the Silver Bridge collapsed during rush hour, claiming 46 lives. Was this the culmination of Cornstalk's curse? Had Mothman appeared as a harbinger, trying to warn the townspeople? The timing seemed too perfect to be coincidental. Yet the story doesn't end there. Similar creatures have reportedly been spotted before disasters worldwide - Chernobyl, Chicago, even before 9/11 according to some accounts.

Whether you believe Mothman is an interdimensional being, a misidentified natural creature, or a manifestation of collective anxiety, the impact on our culture is undeniable. From John Keel's seminal book to Hollywood adaptations, from internet memes to Build-A-Bear plushies with suspiciously well-endowed backsides, Mothman reminds us that some mysteries persist at the edges of our understanding, challenging what we think we know about reality.

Is he trying to warn us? Is he simply observing? Or is something else entirely at play in the shadows of Point Pleasant? Whatever you believe, the legend continues to unfold as new sightings are reported even today.
