163: Organized Jellyfish in Egg Haba
Recapping The Dead Files “Betrayed” (Season 2 Episode 13) which aired April 5, 2013
We talk mental health threads (this officially completes Amy’s accidental Three-Fer), basement dread, and why being six feet tall does not automatically make you immune to fear. Fred earns MVP Dad status, and we unpack how terrifying it must be to feel like you can’t protect your own kids from something you can’t see. It’s heavy… but it’s also Egg Haba, so we manage to spiral appropriately.
Ponder: can ghosts have dementia?
Witness: Megan having troubles saying New Jersey in a New Jersey accent.
Weigh-In: Do you love Deviled Eggs as much as we do?
So, grab your deviled eggs, and join us where… The Activity Continues.
Content Warning:
Discussion of suicide (historical), childhood illness, while Amy and Steve's swears are bleeped on TV, ours are not.
