But before that, a deep dive into the rivalry of Hershey's Chocolate and Hershey's Creamery Company, as well as the concerning ingredients and premise of Yoo-Hoo "chocolate drink."

A genetically modified pig heart in the body of a man with a violent criminal record? Sounds like the plot of a Lovecraft short story. Putting that incomprehensible horror aside, the Deep Lore Boys take a trip to Steinway Tower, the world's thinnest skyscraper, and quickly realize that it's construction wasn't the smoothest operation. Finally, we share some unused but not unloved footage from previous recordings that didn't make the final cut, but deserved their moment in the spotlight.

As Superbowl LVI draws near, the Deep Lore Boys hunt for hidden lore about Cincinnati and Los Angeles, and unearth a spooky goat-curse in the process. Next we take a venture to Ape Canyon near Mount St. Helens, where in 1924 a group of miners were attacked by a Bigfoot clan, and in 1963, a skier mysteriously vanished. And to top it all off, we explore the zoological wonder and epic prank known as the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus.

Along the way we visit a small village in India where a three-eyed cow (celestial being?) was born, and explore the disappointingly vague phenomena of artificially glowing cats.

What are some of the largest things ever stolen? A 200ft bridge? The  Empire State Building? An entire Russian Orthodox church? Thankfully the  St. Louis Arch hasn't been stolen, but what's up with that thing? Why  does it exist, and why does it look like a massive Amongus? The Deep  Lore Boys aim to find out.

North Sentinel Island is home to a completely uncontacted tribe, cut off  from the modern world... so why is there a Red Lobster on South  Sentinel Island? Furthermore, were mustaches uncommon until the modern  era of human history? Is it our "modern beard technology" that made  mustaches possible for the everyday man? Lets talk about that.
