Steve Brusatte returns to reveal the shocking truth behind his new book The Story of Birds – that the dinosaurs never actually went extinct. He explains how raptors like Velociraptor evolved feathers, how wings and flight may have started by accident, and why birds were the ONLY dinosaurs to survive the asteroid that wiped out T-Rex and the rest. He shares behind-the-scenes stories from working on the Jurassic Park films, what Hollywood gets right (and wrong) about dinosaurs, and the fossil discoveries that prove just how wild prehistoric life really was. He also gets into giant “terror birds” that hunted like apex predators, penguins the size of gorillas, massive flying birds with 20-foot wingspans, and the real reason birds became some of the smartest animals on Earth. Plus, how everything from a chicken’s foot to the pigeons on the street connects directly back to dinosaurs, and what that means for how these creatures evolved, adapted, and survived against impossible odds.  Purchase The Story Of Birds: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-story-of-birds-steve-brusatte?variant=44045618085922 📸 Instagram: @steve.brusatte Thank you for supporting our sponsors Cymbiotika: Go to https://Cymbiotika.com/Jericho to get 20% off and free shipping Shopify: Sign up for your $1 per-month trial today at https://shopify.com/JERICHO   Talk Is Jericho is available on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/ChrisJerichoFozzy Don’t forget to Like, Subscribe, and hit the 🔔 to stay updated on new episodes!

Lee Cronin dives into Lee Cronin's The Mummy and why it’s nothing like any Mummy movie you’ve seen! He breaks down the dark twist involving a missing child, a sarcophagus, and a family dealing with something far more sinister, how he reinvented the monster with a psychological, possession-driven approach, and why this horror unfolds in broad daylight. He reveals how he built the film around intense practical effects, including a brutal “toenail” sequence, and an evolving, grotesque transformation of the mummy, and explains why real, in-camera scares always beat CGI (tracing that philosophy back to his childhood obsession with making homemade effects, building blood packs, fake skin, and shooting DIY horror on a camcorder). He also talks about the influence of Poltergeist, why Jaws is still the gold standard for suspense and practical effects, and how the success of Evil Dead Rise, along with collaborations with Sam Raimi and James Wan, led him to take this wild, genre-bending swing at The Mummy.

Jamie from True Crimecast returns to break down one of the most calculated and terrifying killers in modern history – Israel Keyes. He didn’t have a victim type, he didn’t follow patterns, and he didn’t stay in one place. Instead, he buried “kill kits” across the country, flew city to city, and randomly selected victims while carefully studying law enforcement tactics to avoid capture. Jamie explains how Keyes operated for years without detection, the shocking methods he used to plan and execute his crimes, and how one single mistake in Anchorage involving victim Samantha Koenig ultimately led to his arrest. From cross-country murder trips and bank robberies used to fund his crimes, to the disturbing details that surfaced after his capture, this case is as methodical as it is horrifying. Plus, why this case remains so chilling, how many victims investigators believe there could be, and the unanswered questions Keyes took with him to the grave.

It’s Friday the 13th… so what better day to dig into the real story behind the most infamous date on the calendar? Chris Jericho welcomes geologist, forensic investigator, and history researcher Scott Wolter to break down the origins of Friday the 13th, the truth about the number 13, and why it became one of the most feared superstitions in the world.

He also discusses his controversial research into the Kensington Runestone, hidden history connected to the Templars, the discovery of the Talpiot tomb in Jerusalem, and why Friday the 13th still sparks fear, fascination, and superstition more than 700 years later.

They break down the prosecution’s four key pieces of evidence, the questionable police work, the media frenzy that turned this into one of America’s first national true crime sensations, and why the jury came back with a not guilty verdict so quickly. They also examine alternate suspects including Uncle John Morse, inheritance motives, the staged robbery theory, and whether Lizzie’s sister Emma or maid Bridget Sullivan knew more than they admitted. Plus, because this was filmed inside one of the most haunted houses in America, they explore the paranormal side of the Lizzie Borden House including reported full-body apparitions of Abby Borden, shadow sightings of Andrew Borden, EVPs believed to be Lizzie herself, and the infamous basement corner linked to scratches and dark activity. Is this one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in true crime history? Or did history get it wrong? Watch and decide.

John and Jamie from the True Crimecast return for a true crime first…the first non-murder case they’ve ever covered on the show! It’s one of the most famous unsolved mysteries of all time: D.B. Cooper! They break it down from the beginning – the night before Thanksgiving 1971, when a well-dressed man using the name Dan Cooper boarded a Northwest Orient flight, ordered a bourbon, passed a flight attendant a note claiming he had a bomb, demanded $200,000 and four parachutes, and then jumped out of a Boeing 727 into the dark, stormy Pacific Northwest… never to be seen again. They detail exactly what happened on the plane, why Cooper seemed to have inside knowledge of the aircraft, parachutes, altitude, and flight speed, and how he calmly pulled off the only unsolved hijacking in U.S. history.

Plus, John and Jamie run through the top suspects, including military paratroopers, pilots, con men, and all the alleged deathbed confessions.

The guys break down the baffling guest list, the nonstop ballads, the total lack of Christmas spirit, and the awkward 70s variety-show chaos – all in real time. It’s uncomfortable, confusing, unintentionally hilarious, and possibly the least joyful holiday special ever made!

Gerry Morrow was one of the all-time great territory wrestlers, a master heel, a world traveler, and one of the toughest (and funniest) guys to ever step in the ring! He was also a mentor and great friend to Jericho, Lance Storm, AEW’s Don Callis, and Paul Lazenby. Hear about Gerry’s legendary giant-hand slaps (and the poor referee who took six in a row), his love for bumping and selling backdrops, and the time he sang Prince’s “Scandalous” at the top of his lungs during a 3am road trip. Don remembers touring South Africa with Gerry, and how his toughness made dangerous situations feel safe. Lance talks about wrestling in Beirut with Gerry, learning to call matches despite Gerry’s thick accent, and one specific crazy “steel can” spot! Paul shares the story of Gerry boxing his ears in his very first tag match, and how Gerry later pulled him aside with calm, constructive advice instead of ripping him a new one. They also cover Gerry’s days in Japan, his Stampede Wrestling legacy, why Vince McMahon & WWF never called him, and the immense respect Gerry earned from Bret Hart and every peer who ever worked with him.

Samoa Joe is Sweet Tooth, literally. The former AEW World Champion talks season 2 of Peacock’s hit action-comedy Twisted Metal, where he physically embodies the iconic ice-cream truck-driving killer clown, while Will Arnett provides the voice. Joe dives into how his pro wrestling background helped shape the body language, timing, and emotional expression needed to bring Sweet Tooth to life behind the mask, and how wrestling legends like Jushin Thunder Liger and Rey Mysterio inspired his physical performance. He talks about his wild audition tape, the adrenaline-fueled stunt work on set, and the unlikely chemistry between him and Arnett. Joe also reflects on his AEW run – from working with Hook, Shibata, and Will Hobbs, to his signature “walk away” moment that broke the internet.
