## Resource

Ed has some questions! He's confused and needs help! Thankfully, Marcus & Henry have answers (kind of)! This week, the boys sit back for something a little easier on the brain - mysterious creatures that may or may not exist... Cryptids! Could there be something real behind the thousands of cryptid sightings reported for centuries around the world... or is it all just a product of the human subconscious?
