Mermaids aren't real. That much we know. But the history and lore of these magical and sometimes menacing creatures of the sea is pretty interesting stuff. Learn all about these half women/half fish in this classic episode.
# Stuff You Should Know: Mermaids (Not a Real Thing)
Join Chuck and Josh as they dive deep into the fascinating world of mermaid mythology, lore, and modern-day mermaid culture. While exploring centuries of mermaid sightings and folklore from around the globe—including accounts from famous explorers like Columbus and ancient texts from Babylon—they ultimately confirm what the title promises: mermaids definitely aren't real. Along the way, you'll learn about the surprisingly complex symbolism of mermaids in different cultures, discover why manatees keep getting mistaken for these legendary sea creatures, and find out that being a professional mermaid is actually a legitimate (and surprisingly athletic) job.
