Adam and Kyle kick things off mid-lick (of a toad, allegedly) and tumble straight back into the weird and wobbly world of hallucinogenic animals. From dream-inducing Mediterranean fish and weaponised “mad honey” to reindeer urine folklore and mushroom roulette, the lads explore just how thin the line is between spiritual awakening and accidental organ failure.

There’s talk of ayahuasca retreats, shamans with certificates from the “Shaman Education Group,” and the very real fear of opening mental doors that maybe should stay firmly shut. Somewhere between toxic Amanita mushrooms and delayed liver failure, the episode briefly morphs into “How to Stage the Perfect Mushroom Murder” — purely hypothetical, of course.

Naturally, things then descend into skunk spray, human vs dog excrement, and an unexpectedly rigorous scientific investigation into why bath-time farts are objectively worse than dry ones. It’s high-brow, low-brow, and everything in between.

But just as the chaos peaks, Adam drops a culinary curveball: pufferfish. Deadly toxins, elite chef training, and the small detail that you have to eat your own prep before serving it to anyone else. Casual.

It’s curious, chaotic, and mildly educational — a slippery slide from psychedelic wildlife to public decency, with “law and order” looming ominously on the horizon for next week. Dun dun.

Adam and Kyle pick up the broomstick where they left off and dive headfirst into the smoky, suspicious world of witches. What starts as a fairly innocent question - “were witches ever real?” - quickly escalates into mass hysteria, medieval misogyny, and humanity’s long-standing habit of blaming women for… basically everything.

From witch trials and public paranoia to the terrifying power of groupthink, the lads unpack how fear spreads faster than facts, and why history is littered with moments where logic quietly left the building. There’s chat about superstition vs science, the psychology of moral panic, and how easily “different” becomes “dangerous.”

Naturally, it wouldn’t be the Continuum without a few detours, including modern-day equivalents of witch hunts, social media pile-ons, and the uncomfortable realisation that we might not be as evolved as we think.

It’s dark, it’s chaotic, it’s occasionally philosophical… and it proves that whether it’s ultramarathons or witch burnings, humans have always had a flair for dramatic overreaction.

Adam and Kyle lace up their imaginary trail shoes and head back into ultramarathon territory, but as usual, the path quickly veers off into the undergrowth. What begins as a discussion about endurance running, commentary boredom, and why anyone would voluntarily run 100 miles spirals into pain management hacks, evolutionary hunting theories, and whether squeezing a rock is a legitimate training strategy or just self-inflicted nonsense.

From there, things take a turn. The lads tumble headfirst into the philosophy of torture - physical vs psychological, medieval devices, modern sleep deprivation, dripping taps as financial torture, and why certain noises feel designed to break the human spirit. There’s also a surprisingly strong stance on David Bowie, Bob Dylan, and which musicians would make the most effective interrogation tools.

Somewhere between ultrarunners, leaking windows, and Spotify algorithms invading your dreams, the episode ends exactly where it should: questioning historical torture, burning at the stake, and whether witches were ever actually real.

It’s meandering, mildly disturbing, and deeply on-brand… a full Continuum sprint from extreme endurance to medieval paranoia, with witches firmly queued up for next time.
