Show Notes
Did an Egyptian princess really travel across the ancient world and give Scotland its name? In Episode 207 of Ninjas Are Butterflies, we dive into the bizarre legend of Scota, the mysterious figure some ancient traditions connect to Egypt, Ireland, and the origins of Scotland. But that’s only the beginning. We investigate the horrifying story of the Black Hole of Calcutta and ask how much of the version passed down through history actually happened, before uncovering the unbelievable story of Captain Henry Every — the pirate who pulled off one of the greatest scores in history, became one of the most wanted men on Earth, and then seemingly vanished without a trace. Ancient bloodlines, disputed history, buried treasure, missing pirates, and mysteries that somehow get stranger the deeper you go. This is Ninjas Are Butterflies.

More from Ninjas Are Butterflies
What if the reason we haven’t discovered intelligent life in the universe is because artificial intelligence destroyed it? This week on Ninjas Are Butterflies, comedian Brian Bates joins the guys to explore a terrifying theory about the fate of advanced alien civilizations and whether humanity could be heading toward the same disaster. Plus, scientists have successfully grown living human skin on robots, and a mysterious laboratory incident in Russia raises disturbing questions about the next pandemic. How far has science gone, and are we creating something we won’t be able to control?
L.A. Marzulli is back, and this time he brought something with him that he claims is connected directly to the Roswell crash site. We dive into ancient structures, mysterious giants, hidden history, Roswell, and the government’s slow reveal of what it knows about UFOs. But L.A. believes disclosure may be leading toward something far stranger than anyone expects. This one goes deep.
The guys from Confused Breakfast join us to dig into some of Hollywood’s strangest rabbit holes. There’s a movie that seemingly no one can make, a disturbing pattern surrounding the people connected to it, and a much bigger question about just how much influence happens behind the scenes in Hollywood.
A terrifying legend once stalked the Arizona frontier. They called it the Red Ghost—but what witnesses claimed they saw wandering through the desert was even stranger than the name.
The people building the world’s most powerful AI are starting to sound the alarm. One researcher just walked away, warning that the race toward super-intelligence could have consequences we’re nowhere near prepared for.
