For more than 200 years, treasure hunters have been digging into a small patch of ground on Oak Island, Nova Scotia, chasing the promise of buried riches. What started with a depression in the earth beneath an oak tree has spiralled into generations of obsession: pirate loot, Templar relics, Shakespeare’s manuscripts, or maybe just a very elaborate sinkhole.

In this episode we dig (pun intended) into the Oak Island Money Pit — the strange engineering, the endless theories, the six lives already lost to the so-called “curse,” and why people keep pouring money into a hole that never gives anything back. We also get distracted by the usual nonsense because of course we do.

If you’re into unsolved mysteries, cursed treasure, weird history, and two idiots who can’t stay on topic, you’re in the right place.

We’re back poking around in Australia’s weirder history — this time diving into one of the country’s biggest mass UFO sightings. In April 1966, over 200 students, teachers, and locals watched a saucer-shaped craft land in a paddock near Westall High School… before the military turned up and made the evidence — and a lot of the witnesses — go very quiet.

We’ll cover the frantic chase into The Grange, the sudden men-in-black style shutdown, and the mysterious scorched landing site that vanished within hours. We also manage to drift off into some questionable tangents, as per usual, because restraint has never been our strong suit.

If you like UFO mysteries, Australian weirdness, conspiracy theories, and two idiots making each other laugh at inappropriate moments, you’ll feel right at home here.

We’re grimacing our way back into the weird this week with a lesser-known Scottish freak: the Gurning Man of Glasgow.

Described as a bald, grinning figure who shows up in bedrooms, back lanes, and the occasional low-budget AI fever dream, this creepy entity plagued Glasgow in the late ’70s and early ’80s. Is he a ghost? A cryptid? A hallucination brought on by too much Irn-Bru and late-night Buckfast? We don’t know—but we’re here to butcher Scottish accents while trying to find out.

Along the way, we get derailed by AI hallucinations, wildly inappropriate impressions, and an earnest attempt to figure out if “gurning” is a regional dance move or just something that happens when your face cramps up from fear.

If you’re into paranormal encounters, cryptids, urban legends, haunted bedrooms, and questionable Scottish impressions, this one’s for you.
