Is it an alien? A pair of haunted yoga pants? Or just a very shy set of legs looking for the nearest 24-hour laundromat?

This week, Stevie and Jacklynn are heading to Central California to discuss the internet’s favourite "elegant leggy boy"—the Fresno Nightcrawler. From the original grainy 2007 security footage to the Yosemite sightings, we’re breaking down why these billowy white bipeds have captured the hearts (and Etsy shops) of the cryptid community.

In this episode, we’re asking the hard-hitting questions:

• How does something with no torso have so much swagger?
• Are we looking at a sophisticated hoax, or is Fresno just the runway for extraterrestrial leg-day?
• Why has a city embraced a "weirdo beastie" that looks like it escaped from a Gap commercial?

Grab your favourite pair of stilts and join us for a deep dive into the whimsical, the non-aggressive, and the downright bizarre. It’s cute, it’s weird, and it’s definitely whimsical.

Listen in for:

• [06:26] The footage that started the fever dream.
• [12:58] Hoax theories: Puppet strings or just really tall toddlers?
• [22:21] What does AI think of our leggy friends?
• [30:51] Stevie and Jacklynn plan their own Nightcrawler debut.
