For the finale of the 12 days of Cryptmas series I present you the Jersey Devil. My favorite one that I think I've researched thus far. It's got everything. A cute creature, witchcraft, the devil, religion, politics, pettiness, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, and a potential real estate hoax. What more could you possibly ask for?

So I did this two years ago but it isn't nearly as detailed as I would like it to be. So here it is again like 10 times the length. I am so tired but it does a better dent on telling the story of the witch trials that happened in Salem, Massachusetts and really gives better honor to the victims.
Sources: Trust me bro. Just kidding. It's far too many to list but here is a recommended reading...
I'm presenting next week in Canada and I'm freaking out but it's cool. Because you're super awesome and wonderful, here is a sneak peak of my entire presentation that I'll be giving there. You get the first listening, I hope you learn something. If not, well thanks for listening to my blithering idiocy. Also here's a picture of my face as the thumbnail.

The official podcast of comedian Joe Rogan.
Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
