This week, we bring you a murky and mystical episode as we look into the real Merlin and who he might have been, as well as the possibility that the end of the world will be occurring very soon on Sept. 25th, 2025, we examine new footage of a deep-sea fish that has a transparent head, and we discuss the idea from a new study that gravity is an illusion. All of this and then, after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher reads more from "Beware of the Woods," by Tony Urban.
