In this episode, Cody and Chris talk about mysterious lost cities, those places lost to time, the elements, or other circumstances. First, Cody discusses the famous underwater island, Atlantis, full of riches, mystical creatures, and drrrrrrama. Then, Chris dives into the lost City of Z, a place that swallowed hundreds of explorers. Next, Cody talks about the ancient city of Crete, whose unexplained abandonment has spawned tons of interesting theories. Finally, Chris shares another lost city that was eventually discovered and is now considered one of the New Seven Wonders of the World – Machu Picchu. Creep of the Week is brought to us by listener Rich AKA Vinyl Beer. Drinks this week are Inca Cola and a Golden Margarita.
