If you think your feral moment of the week was a lot, wait until you hear what humanity was doing a couple hundred years ago. Spoiler: nobody was okay.
Madge kicks us off with check-ins, and each Creature shares their weekly descent into chaos before Madge segues into tonight’s rabbit hole:
History isn’t noble — it’s unhinged.
Sure, the textbooks pretend it’s all neat timelines and sensible monarchs, but dig even a little deeper and you’ll find popes on trial, emperors picking fights with the ocean, and entire towns spontaneously losing their collective minds.
Case in point? Strasbourg, 1518: where hundreds of people danced themselves straight into seizures and collapse with no music, no festival, no explanation. Just pure, inexplicable feral energy recorded by baffled officials. And that’s barely scratching the surface.
Tonight, the Creatures unearth humanity’s most chaotic moments — the forgotten disasters, deranged decisions, and historical footnotes that prove we’ve always been a hot mess.
Madge leads the dive into the madness as each host brings a strange, overlooked, or truly unhinged historical tale to the table.
Speaking Order:
Betty
Helen
Narci
Madge bridges with: “We’ve uncovered history’s messiest secrets — let’s ask the Oracle if the past is finished haunting us.”
Helen draws the Oracle card and delivers whatever wisdom (or warning) comes through.
Madge wraps up with: “Before we start reenacting medieval dentistry, let’s end this circus.”
Each Creature shares one historical fact that lives rent-free in their brain — the ones that make you pause mid-scroll and say, “No way that actually happened.”
Finally, Betty sends listeners off with the prompt:
“What’s the funniest or most unhinged piece of history you’ve ever stumbled across — bonus points if it involves bad kings or exploding toilets.”
