They say if you go out into the woods, you’d better be prepared for bears, bugs… maybe even Bigfoot. But Travis Walton? He came back with a story that was out of this world. Literally.

In November of 1975, a logging crew in the Arizona wilderness witnessed something they couldn’t quite log away in their memory banks. A flash of light, a man knocked to the ground, and then—poof—no Travis. Just empty pine needles and a whole lot of panic.

On this episode, we’re cracking open the case of Travis Walton and the now-infamous “Fire in the Sky.” Buckle up, keep your arms and legs inside the beam at all times, and remember what happens in the mothership doesn’t always stay in the mothership.

Imagine you're nobility in the 1500s. You're rich, you're powerful, your face is caked in lead, and you smell like a haunted cupboard because you've bathed, like... twice this year. In this episode, we're diving nose-first into the gross, grimy, gloriously weird history of hygiene. We're talking poo sponges on a stick, lice wigs, perfumed everything, and the long, splinter-filled road to modern toilet paper.

Why did people think water would kill them? Why was brushing your teeth with wine a thing? And how did Versailles manage to be both luxurious and absolutely covered in human waste?

Spoiler: everyone smelled bad, really really bad!

Join us as we unravel centuries of filth and full-body funk — and finally answer the question: How did we go from wiping with stones… to pink quilted clouds of two-ply heaven?

Wash your hands, light a candle, and get ready to gag. This is Prying Minds — where the past stinks, and we're still nosy enough to sniff it.

Today we’re going BIG! That’s right, we’re diving into the world of… giants.

We’re talking massive myths, towering truths, and elevated enigmas from every continent. From the biblical Nephilim to the Quinkin of Australia, and everything in between.

Are these tales just exaggerated campfire stories? Symbolic metaphors? Or could there be something monstrously real behind humanity’s obsession with giants?

Grab your magnifying glass—or maybe a ladder—because we’re chasing shadows that cast very long footprints. This isn’t your average bedtime story, folks. This one’s off the scale.
