Carly tells Sam about a mysterious man who travels with a menagerie of animals, seduces women and has an unusual hobby? Fetish? Sam does another amazing cold-read of a poorly translated story, which is delightful.
Sam's shares a legendary cryptid from right here in Minnesota with the Hairy Man of Vergas. You'll also learn of Sam's small-town-party-bus-bachelorette CRIMES, and her grandpa's bear-baiting techniques. It's a delightful rural adventure!
This week Sam indulges Carly with another imaginary trip to Japan! Sam discovers a curse for adultery (and apparently murder) as Carly examines tales of the mischievous rokurokubi and the blood thirsty nukekubi.
Sam's childhood nostalgia returns as she delves into Mother Goose, and a couple of the weird nursery rhymes from childhood that we've never thought too deeply about. Was Mother Goose a real goose? Why were three men of various careers in a tub out to sea? Who is Gill? Does the moon eat children? What does "rub-a-dub-dub" mean, exactly? Do we answer these questions? Yep, Some!

Sam is still feeling spooky season for her first episode of Season 2. Sam tells Carly about vampires. Discover why they have to wait seven years before starting their own vampire hunting adventures. (You can't kill what you can't find.) Also, Sam is probably married to a vampire.

Welcome back! It's Season 2! Carly tells Sam about The Graeae, three sisters from Greek mythology THAT SHARE ONE EYEBALL! They're real! Well, as real as anything else from Greek mythology. We also discuss the 1981 classic, Clash of the Titans, and it's sexy sexy mechanical owl, Bubo.

We're coming back! In the meantime, here's some weird tangentially related information, games, a quiz? It's moderately enjoyable. We promise.

Probably Improbable, episode 29: Samantha reminds us of the importance of talking fish. That sh*t is magic, yo! If you're an intensely unpleasant and greedy human, you can have it all! Fact. No moral to this story! Or is there? Find out, as Sam takes Carly back to her favorite land of weirdo Grimm's fairy tales.

Sam returns to her favorite source for inspiration, Coast to Coast, and tells Carly about the most-adorably-named-giant-hairy-bigfoot-type-thing, Momo the Missouri Monster! Join Sam as she takes you back to the 1970s in Louisiana (the city, not the state), when locals briefly experienced a shag-carpet-muscular-mustache-headed-monster that reportedly (according to Sam's report) "smelled like ass." What's not to love?! Journey down south, and solve the illusive Momo footprint mystery. (Hint: He was probably carried by Jesus.)
