Summary

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show off talking about the recent thunderstorms, how Kyle lost internet again, and the approaching summer. Then, two girlfriends were jogging at Lake Carasaljo, New Jersey when they encounter a 4-foot tall creeping-looking 'Troll' that was sitting on a small wooden chest along the pathway. Next, a mother and daughter in Cherry Hill, New Jersey see a strange-looking flying humanoid. And, a person in Michigan swears a werewolf crossed the road near a rural cemetery.

After the break, Kyle brings up some special items that many believe will give them good luck. Lucky charms: Some people swear by them while others think they're silly. But regardless of whether a rabbit's foot or a favorite number really attracts Lady Luck, lucky charms can be fun and make you feel more optimistic. When you have fun and feel more positive, that attitude makes you luckier, too! Four-leaf clovers in Ireland. Painted dala horses in Sweden, Chinese golden toads, and Egyptian scarabs. Whether you grasp such good luck charms in your palm, wear them around your neck, or mount one near your front door these talismans or amulets are meant to provide a shortcut to a better future, a warding off of evil spirits or bad forces. Of course, there’s no proof any such tokens, which travelers commonly pick up as souvenirs, actually work. But these cultural symbols both educate and enchant us.

All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!
