The legend of the octopus is a story that deserves to be told. Anyone who can smuggle an octopus and a leopard shark into a hockey stadium is deserving of respect. After that, the Deep Lore Boys delve into the tragic tale of Phoenix Jones, before wrapping it up with a story that he was involved in: the Man In Tree saga.

Can Snapchat's MyAI be trusted? How many Jedi are there in London? Is there really a Jedi temple in Texas? And finally, should we watch the Star Wars Holiday Special for science? All this and more on this May the 4th episode of Deep Lore Boys.

Marvin John Heemeyer was a man who showed us that sometimes reasonable men do unreasonable things. He did this by leveling half the town of Granby, Colorado in 2004 using a heavily armored and weaponized bulldozer, which would later be known as "the Killdozer."

In 1977 the Dover Demon ran wild in Massachusetts, but the Deep Lore Boys know the truth of his origins (weed). After examining the cryptid, we pay a visit to the mummified dog Stucky, before wrapping up with the tale of George Steller's "sea ape" and the legendary internet monster known as the Ningen.

Have you ever had your honor challenged? Why not settle things with a duel? Many people throughout history have, for better or for worse. After looking at their stories, the Deep Lore Boys honor a wild pilot who fought off seven Migs during the Korean War and lived to tell the tale. To wrap it all up, we take a peek at the lives of a few special individuals who took it upon themselves to sail over Niagara Falls in a barrel.

The Deep Lore Boys are back, this time with fresh lore from Berlin where a fish tank exploded, sending over a thousand tropical fish into the street. But was it an accident, or sabotage? Speaking of conspiracy theories, the Japanese new-age cult known as Panawave had some theories of their own about communists, arctic seals, and electromagnetic waves. But somehow the cult's beliefs are still not as strange as Gef the talking mongoose, an earthbound spirit who found his way to the Isle of Man in the 1930's.

The Deep Lore Boys kick off the new year by talking about Diogenes the Cynic, the legendary philosopher described as "Socrates gone mad." Next we take a trip downstream (a few thousand years later) to visit Naked Ned, the man who stripped down and went into the wilderness to fight for the Aral Sea. Finally to top it all off, we learn a valuable lesson from the Cleveland Balloonfest of 1986: just don't. 

The Deep Lore Boys return for a very unique Christmas with lore from all over Europe. After checking up on the famous Gavle Goat, we investigate the explosive Burning of the Böögg in Switzerland. Then, after having a rap battle with a Welsh death-horse, we look fondly back on the Christmas Truce of 1914.
