Who lives in a locker under the sea? This week, the gals get their swimsuits on and dive down to the depths of the ocean to discuss the folklore surrounding Davy Jones’ locker. Who was Davy Jones? Were they a real person? Why is his locker down there? Maybe some of these questions will be answered - and maybe they will remain a folklore mystery. Need a distraction? We got you.
