Wet and Confused: A Deep Dive into Mermaid Delusion.
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."
