Hold your breath until your vision gets spotty, because Jacklynn and Stevie are plunging into the brine to figure out why everyone wants to skinny dip with a predatory fish-human hybrid. This week, we’re investigating Mermaids: the original gaslighters of the sea. Why do they want our voices? Why are their bras made of non-supportive mollusks? And why, God, why, did someone sew a primate to a fish and call it "art"?

In this chaotic deep sea plunge we’re tackling:

The Original Catfish: We trace mermaid origins back to when sailors were so lonely they started flirting with manatees. It wasn’t "enchantment," Dave, it was scurvy and a desperate need for a hug.

The Fiji Mermaid Trauma Ward: A deep dive into the taxidermy nightmare that proves humanity will believe anything if you put it in a glass case and charge a nickel.

Professional Mermaiding: We discuss the "Industrial Kelp Complex" where people voluntarily zip themselves into $3,000 silicone death-socks for the sake of the 'gram.

Atlantis: The Ultimate Gated Community: Is it a lost civilization, or did they just see where humanity was heading and decide to fake their own deaths?

Warning: This episode contains high levels of salt, zero actual marine biology, and heavy realization that the ocean is 95% "Nope."

Pack your bags and your emotional support crystals, because this week Stevie and Jacklynn are trekking into the misty, mysterious heart of the Appalachian Mountains.

The peaks are old, the valleys are deep, and the vibes? Honestly, a little bit "don't look out the window after dark." We’re breaking down why this region is a literal magnet for the macabre, from the science of the soil to the spirits that refuse to leave it.

In this episode:

• Kate the Bell Witch: Seriously, what is her deal? We discuss why she’s the ultimate petty queen of Tennessee and why she had such a specific vendetta against the Bell family. Was she a ghost, an entity, or just someone who needed a hobby?
• The Brown Mountain Lights: Is it swamp gas, aliens, or just the mountains trying to get our attention?
• Cryptid Corner: We meet the Wampus Cat (a mood) and the legendary Mothman. This leads us to the question we were all too afraid to ask: Is Mothman actually hot? Is it the mystery? The wings? The glowing red eyes that say "I see you, but I also see a bridge collapsing in your near future"?
• Appalachian Culture: Why the history of this land makes it the perfect breeding ground for stories that go bump in the night.

Whether you're here for the geological deep dives or you just want to know if these weirdos would swipe right on a cryptid, this episode has it all.

We're BAAAAACK! (Did you miss us? Be honest.) After a year-long, accidental, possibly ghost-induced hiatus, the Weirdos of Whimsy dust off their microphones just in time to ruin Christmas for everyone! Join us as we dive headfirst into the spookier, sexier side of the silly season. Think less tinsel and more terrifying tales! We're talking forgotten Pagan Yuletide rituals, why Victorians were obsessed with telling ghost stories on Christmas Eve, and the absolute mess of a legend that is Krampus (spoiler alert: he's still a vibe). Plus, we tackle a genuinely grim slice of local history, the 1934 Christmas train disaster. It's a delightful mashup of history, haunts, and hilarious attempts to pronounce "Wassail." Tune in and get weird!!

This time, we venture into uncharted territory with questions that will have you questioning our sanity and life choices.
