Happy new year, lizards! We're back and what a winding road of recording this episode twice, having the audio bork differently two times, and then going with the original recording because it was slightly less bad this has been. All worth it for the story of Candy Jones, a.k.a. Arlene Grant, model possible MK Ultra victim. Buckle up for hypnosis, secret missions, possible Winter Soldiering, and fry bits.

Also, a lengthy ode to Alias, a recommendation for Only Murders in the Building, and ~tales of pregnancy~.

The truth is out there and it is festive, y'all. It's Katy's turn and she has brought you some UFOs near Stonehenge that appear on Christmas morning, 1964 (and then a bunch of other times) - the story of the Warminster Thing! Is it just military drills from their nearby training area? Or is that what they WANT you to think?

We check in with our PAs. MM is not ready to reenter society. Katy's been watching a lot of Desus & Mero. What do you think invisible fingers of sound look like? Everyone needs to watch Edge of Tomorrow. Yes, you. Happy holidays!

MM has a doozy for you this week, lizards - buckle up for the story of Victim F, a.k.a. the Gone Girl kidnapping, a.k.a. the abduction of Denise Huskins and the absolutely awful way she and her boyfriend were treated by police.

Hm. Where have we heard THAT before?

Stay tuned for the end of the episode where we have an update on the David Stone Halloween Mystery! (No, it's not solved.) (Still cool, though.)

PA Moxie is living her best life in Christmas packaging. Reese's trees have the best chocolate to peanut butter ratio, don't @ us. How many days would you last off the grid? Katy got her steps in this episode by storming around in rage. DO A LITTLE INVESTIGASCH! GOD!
