Welcome to Cryptic Soup. Join Thena & Kylee as they talk about a man who changed the lives of 37 people, and unfortunately, it was not for the better.

Welcome to Cryptic Soup. Join Thena and Kylee as they talk about Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain to try and figure out what really happened in April of 1994.

Cobain helped pave the way for the grunge community in the early 90s and went out as part of the 27 club, but what really happened? It's a "two-parta" so here's part 2!

Welcome to Cryptic Soup. Join Thena and Kylee as they talk about TikTok star Rylee Goodrich who was taken from us far too soon. Rylee is one of many who had a wonderful online presence that was snuffed out much too soon in an ill-fated and untimely death. A death that can only be classified as a true, tragic, murder. Don't be a bystander...ever. If you see something say something because ultimately, It could save lives. 

Welcome to Cryptic Soup. Join Thena and Kylee as they dissect the brain in this week's episode while talking about phobias, how they are formed, some weird ones to have, and personal ones they deal with themselves. Of course, there has to be a trivia game involved and making Kylee say some super funky words. Also, do you think anchovies belong on pizza?

Welcome to Cryptic Soup. Join Thena and Kylee as they tackle their first cult topic. We decided... go big or go home, so we picked a cult just filled to the top with everything toxic you can imagine. David Berg pretended to have a religious-themed following, but it was truly a disguise for a pedophilia ring that dabbled in incest, abuse, and all the darkness you never wanted to hear about.

Welcome to Cryptic Soup. Join Thena and Kylee as they talk about Black Shuck, Demon Dogs, Hell Hounds, and probably their own pups!

Will we really ever know?

Welcome to Cryptic Soup. Join Thena and Kylee as they explore the history and the mystery that is the Winchester House in California.

Welcome to Cryptic Soup. Join Thena and Kylee as they discuss the infamous gangs of old day Chicago and their decade of violence that came to a climax with the Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre.

What more could you hope for in a Valentine’s Day themed episode?
