What's up folks! Hope you're all doing EGG-celent! This week the fellas are gearing up for an expedition in the footsteps of famous explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, two of the most well known and revered American explorers in all of historicity! Except this time around we'll be concentrating on all of the weirdness they left out of the history book, including such oddities as: monoliths and standing stones, mounds, the various pre-Columbian explorers who came to America before there was such a thing, and even giants, gnomes, the fountain of youth, out of place artifacts, and even "banking conspiracies" as well as the weirdness which surrounds Meriwether's mysterious death! WOOOOOO! Get ready for a most EGG-cellent adventure loyal listeners! All this plus an EGG-citing new "What's Weird This Week?" Bon Voyage!

HEYYOOOOOOOO! This BONUS episode is a quick short while we're on hiatus that covers historical, folklore, and/or magical & mystical ritual mutilation, the practice of divination via human organs or deformities, monstrous births, abominable omens, & reading the future through "teratascopy" (or the interpretation of prophecies through the reading of meat malformations and metamorphosis through mutation.) IT'S EXTRA GROSS, EXTRA WEIRD, & UTTERLY DISGUSTING! Plus a quick insight into the modern (-ish) myths of the "comprachicos" or "child buyers", high society and royal freakshows, the brujo familiars known as "imbunche", India's despicable "chelas" & the making of un- fortunate, disfigured "rat children". Is there a connection between these extreme ritualistic & criminal body mods all throughout history from different cultures? This is definitely one of the much more far out there and theoretical topics which currently plague Mike's mind. Give it a listen then be sure to tune back in next week when the fellas embark on a dark American expedition hidden from the history books!
