Cryptidiots

It’s a lizard! It’s a man! It’s Lizard Man! This week the Cryptidiots talk about Pope Leo’s recent encyclical on AI, and how it both encourages an embrace of the unknown and absolves the Cryptidiots of all sins. They’re then blessed with the presence of a special guest from the Earth TV universe, before diving into the lore of the Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp, a cryptid with an origin that is inextricably linked to the tragic story of Christopher Davis, who invented a cultural phenomenon out of thin air. Rest in power Christopher. 

Today we’re sharing the low down on the lobizon, and providing a public service by exposing the top 5 most haunted hotels. Listen to this episode if you want to make sure your kids don’t become werewolves. It’s the law.

Mi scusi! Stop what you’re doing and listen to the latest episodio of Cryptidiots, where the guys consider launching careers as mentalists and insurance fraudsters before spilling the tea on Italy’s favorite gossiping worm goat, the Badalisc. 

In this episode, its brodags before hodags, as the Cryptidiots discuss the pride of Rhinelander: the Hodag. They also discuss Dan’s latest act of heroism, as well as some scientific discoveries that may explain haunted houses, depression, and hostile work environments (and no, the reason behind all three isn’t just John).

What do you call a demon wrapped in an enigma rolled in thousands of years of myth? You call it the Bunyip of course. Or you call it John’s mom, that’s not a your mom joke, John’s mom joins us for this one and boy is it ever a blast. Tune it or shut up (just kidding we love you)!

Well we’ve done it folks, 3 times around the sun! In this Season 3 opener, we cover some mysterious disappearances in the extra-terrestrial science community and much more importantly, a dinosaur (introduced by Herner Werzog himself) that might still exist in the Congo. Grab your popcorn, your soda pop, and your dad because you won’t want to miss this one! 

The Cryptidiots cover more movies that would be better if a cryptid was introduced at the midpoint, and issue an apology to Chunk of the Goonies before investigating the Flatwoods Monster, a West Virginia cryptid whose sudden appearance in 1952 (and its subsequent Playboy spread) created a lasting cultural impact, inspiring films ranging from Men in Black, to Men in Black II.

If you think you’ve caught Wendigo Fever, leave us a voicemail. Episode 28 digs into the origins, folklore, and unsettling psychology behind this nightmarish cryptid. The Cryptidiots also discuss a newly discovered rhinoceros species before being interrupted by a transmission from Earth TV, featuring intergalactic star Chimothee Talamet reading a 4/20 poem.

We packed it all into this one folks! Dan's butt splinter update, a story about the first wolf in California in a century, more of John's internal degradation projected externally in the form of "fan mail" and of course the legend known as Gef the Mongoose (we spelled it “Jeff” for clickbait).

Hey Idiots (said with love of course), Artemis II has launched, humans are orbiting the moon for the first time in 50 years! Meanwhile, the inspiration for Beauty & the Beast (maybe) is still roaming wild in south central France (probably not). Tune in to learn more!
