This week on the podcast, we went from the Olympic Games… to Bigfoot. Yes, really.

In the first half, Caleb quizzes Christina with some surprisingly tough (but fascinating) trivia about the history of the Olympics, from the ancient Games in Olympia to the revival of the modern Olympics in Athens in 1896. We talk about traditions like the Olympic Truce, the torch relay, canceled Games during the World Wars, and legendary athletes like Michael Phelps.It’s competitive. It’s educational. It’s slightly chaotic.

Then in the second half, Christina takes over and breaks down the origins of Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch. We dig into where the legend actually started, Native American oral traditions, the famous 1967 Patterson Gimlin film in Northern California, and how the myth evolved into modern cryptid culture.Is Bigfoot just folklore? A misunderstood animal? Or one of the greatest mysteries still debated today?

In this episode, Christina kicks things off by breaking down a study on people who don’t enjoy watching sports. Why do some people just not connect with it? Is it personality, upbringing, social factors, or something deeper? We talk through the research and what it reveals about competition, identity, and why sports culture resonates with some people but not others.

Then we move into the Legend Lowdown, where Caleb takes a look at the mysterious and often misunderstood Bilderberg Group. What is it? Who actually attends these meetings? And why has it become the center of so many conspiracy theories over the years? We break down the basics, the real history, and some of the most popular myths surrounding this secretive gathering.

We were challenged by a listener to read The Count of Monte Cristo in 30 days… so we did. In this episode, we give a high-level synopsis of Alexandre Dumas’ classic and talk through our honest reactions now that we’ve finally finished it. We discuss the story’s major themes, betrayal, patience, revenge, justice, and redemption, and why this nearly 200-year-old novel still hits so hard today. What surprised us, what felt timeless, what felt heavy, and whether the payoff was worth the journey. If you’ve read it, this is your reflection episode. If you haven’t, consider this your spoiler-light invitation to finally pick it up.
