HAPPY NEW YEAR!!Wrapping up 2025 with a conversation I shared with Rye, host of Codega's Codex of Curiosities! I hope 2026 is a blessing for you, God Bless!From the Show: In this episode of Codega's Codex of Curiosities, Rye the Codega sits down with Bo Kennedy, host of The BUMP Podcast, for a deep dive into one of the oldest and darkest figures in ancient lore: Lilith. But this isn't just another retelling of a myth — Bo takes us down the rabbit hole where biblical history, occult traditions, Nephilim lore, and the Sasquatch mystery collide. We explore why some researchers believe Lilith wasn't just a mythological rebel, but a real entity intertwined with the Watchers, the Nephilim, and the creation of the Elioud — and how these hybrid bloodlines may echo through modern sightings of Sasquatch and other hair-covered giants. Is Sasquatch a remnant of the Elioud?Is Lilith truly the mother of monsters?And why do ancient texts, hidden traditions, and modern encounters all point back to her? Bo and Rye unravel:Lilith's ancient origins — from early Mesopotamian demonology to Hebrew lore.The role of the Watchers and how their unions produced the Nephilim and later the Elioud.The Elioud–Sasquatch theory — why some believe Sasquatch may be a surviving branch of post-Flood hybrid giants.How Lilith connects to child-stealing legends, shapeshifters, night-demons, and modern paranormal encounters.Why patterns in cryptid sightings, ancient texts, and forbidden history might hint at a hidden lineage that started with her.This episode blends biblical mystery, cryptid lore, demonology, and high strangeness into one wild, fascinating journey. If you love exploring the shadows where myth and monster meet, this conversation is for you.Have an experience that you'd like to share?Holler at me: thebumppodcast@gmail.comFeel led to donate to The BUMP Podcast?Check out www.buymeacoffee.com/thebumppodcastWant to be better prepared for whatever life throws at you?Check out www.squatchsurvivalgear.comUse Promo Code: 25bump to save 15% SITE WIDEPick up a copy of my book!https://a.co/d/0S3HttW"Oh, My Soul" Written and Performed by Ray Messer Jr.

We discuss what happened to all of us on a trip to Alabama at Talledega National Forest. We show amazing orb footage and hear different perspectives.

Tonight's guest, Jonathan Branham, grew up in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky, in a place locals call “The Holler.” As a kid, he roamed the mountains around The Holler barefoot, without a care. Sure, he knew that mountain lions and black bears were out there, be he wasn't concerned about them. If you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone was his mindset. It wasn't until one night, 4 years ago, that that all changed. That was the night he saw a Face-Eater behind his house.  When his dog started barking, he grabbed his AR and headed out the back door. When he stepped outside, he saw that his dog was cowering. After seeing how upset she was, he started looking around. Almost instantly, he saw a huge, dark shape that looked to be well over 10-feet tall that was close to the edge of the woods, looking at him. When he saw it, he opened up on it with his AR…If you've had at least one Sasquatch sighting and would like to be a guest on the show, please go to BigfootEyewitness.com and let me know.

2025 was the year politics became content, content became scandal, and scandal became a documentary you half watched while checking fantasy football scores. Celebrity news moved at warp speed, celebrity deaths made everyone suddenly nostalgic for people they had not thought about in years, and conspiracy theories somehow had better marketing than most movies. Entertainment tried to keep up: films sparked arguments about nudity that said more about the internet than the screen, Timothée Chalamet continued his mission to appear in everything except your group chat, and Physical 100 reminded us that other countries treat reality TV like the Olympics. Music trends changed every three weeks thanks to youth leadership on social platforms, while the Diddy documentary proved that longform exposés are now our version of prestige television. Sports stayed chaotic with wrestling news going full soap opera, the Michigan coach scandal turning message boards into law schools, and NFL predictions serving as both emotional gambling and personality tests. By the end of it all, technology had reshaped how we talk, argue, and socialize, the generational divide felt louder than ever, and 2025 closed out feeling less like a year and more like a very long recap setting us up for even stranger predictions in 2026.Holler at us -IG: https://www.instagram.com/gengpodcasts/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GenGpodcastMerch: https://generation-g.creator-spring.com/

Although they cater to different senses, photography and music share much in common. In both these arts, timing, rhythm, and mood are key. It's been a while since we've mixed photography and music on the show, so we're particularly excited about today's chat with two photographers who share a passion for documenting musicians and their fans—in particular, devotes of punk and indie rock. From early memories of being truly moved by music to practical tips about photo access, image rights and restrictions, plus the complexities of organizing your work for a book, the conversation doesn't miss a beat. So, turn up the volume as Bootsy Holler reminisces about dropping into the Seattle music scene in the early 1990's to capture the raw energy of her favorite bands, now compiled in the book Making It: An Intimate Documentary about the Seattle Indie, Rock and Punk Scene. And Chris Ortiz describes how the house parties he captured at a punk commune in Kansas served as the foundation for his skills as a music photographer with a keen eye for differentiating himself in the photo pit. As Chris points out when it comes to preparing for a show. "It goes back to knowing that music and knowing the band, and being able to sit back and say, Yes, I am a fan of the band, but I also am professional, so this is what I'm going to look for when the band comes out." Guests: Bootsy Holler & Chris Ortiz Episode Timeline: 3:20: Bootsy Holler recalls her early days dropping into the Seattle music scene, photographing garage bands and dive bars. 9:41: Chris Ortiz talks about his start in photography, and his time photographing house parties at a punk rock commune in Lawrence, Kansas. 12:01: The difference between documenting live music and making portraits of musicians, where you need to develop a rapport with your subjects.  17:32: A tip of the hat to Chris as a longtime podcast superfan, plus what he's learned from listening to our 10-year archive of shows.   20:20: Bootsy's early stylistic influences and its effect on her art and music photography. 25:54: The earliest memory of being truly moved by music and the songs Bootsy and Chris were listening to when they truly got it. 31:56: Applying the inner feels of music to photographing a concert and connecting with the rhythm to grab key moments. 39:00: Negotiating access, shooting from the photo pit vs the side of the stage, plus differentiating your pictures from other photographers' work. 48:00: Episode Break 48:56: Chris talks more about current dynamics for gaining access when shooting music and concerts.  53:44: Current limits on concert photo usage and restrictions on contracts offered by some artists and entertainment companies. 58:28: Legal parameters related to pictures in Bootsy's book, plus the difference between concert pictures and portrait situations. 1:02:26: Bootsy's nine-year process of assembling a book, working with a designer for big picture decisions, plus leaving room to break the rules. 1:08:09: Finding publishers, choosing between options, plus the importance of owning the rights to your images. 1:10:20: Bootsy and Chris name the band at the top of their bucket lists to photograph.   Guest Bios: Bootsy Holler has spent 30 years capturing the essential personality and emotions of her subjects. Best known for her work as a portraitist, Bootsy's journey began with intimate depictions of herself and friends at the center of Seattle's pivotal music scene during the early 1990s. These formative years at both ends of the lens cemented her style as well as the methodology behind her empathic and journalistic approach. Bootsy's work has been recognized by the Society of Photographic Journalism and twice selected for the Critical Mass Top 50. Her photos have been exhibited and published internationally and are included in the permanent collection of the Grammy Museum. In 2019 she published the monograph, TREASURES: objects I've known all my life. Most recently, her book Making It: An Intimate Documentary about the Seattle Indie, Rock and Punk Scene, was released by Damiani books.

After earning a bachelor's degree in art history, Chris obtained an MFA in photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design.
