Hello you POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS we're diving deep this week!
Sorry about the audio on this one— we had AC and fans on GOD BLESS ME IT'S FUCKIN SUMMAH— we'll have it fixed for next time.
TW: This episode contains foul language, off color jokes about suicide and murder (you'll be fine) mentions of dolphin rape and spoilers for My Octopus Teacher
This week we are joined by a very special return guest, our resident oceanic expert, baker of the sweetest treats and budding amateur paranormal investigator MEL VARTABEDIAN!!
Mel is BACK to talk all things DEEP SEA - we discuss some new species that have been discovered, behaviors that have been observed and try and answer some of my strangest ocean questions like "could grey aliens be evolved dolphins" and "do you think a 392 year old shark would be racist?"
Check out our LINKS if you want to see what we had the pleasure of seeing during this discussion and come explore glass castle worms, Greenland sharks, grunion fish, octopus cities, deep trenches and so much more.
