Episode 53: Afterwyrd

Alright, buckle up for a wild ride into the wyrd and unsettling! This week, we dive headfirst into the bizarre phenomenon of phrogging - that's right, people secretly living in your home without you knowing!

We unpack the definition, the creepy origins of the name, and share some truly disturbing real-life cases that will make you double-check your attic and under your bed. But that's not all!

We also dissect the internet's latest obsession: could 100 men defeat a silverback gorilla in a fistfight? The debate is raging, experts are weighing in, and even Elon Musk wants a piece of the action! We break down the arguments and what the science (and ChatGPT) has to say.

Finally, prepare for some serious political Star Wars cringe as we react to a certain May the 4th social media post. Let's just say... the Force might not be strong with this one. Don't blame the Owls!
