Super Mystery Bros

In this Halloween edition of Super Mystery Bros, Kyle and Nate sit down and talk about their thoughts about the new documentary Capturing Bigfoot, including the new revelations, testimony, and evidence which claims to finally put the lid on the mystery of the Patterson-Gimlin Film once and for all.

So grab your toilet paper rolls, your dirty pillow cases, and get ready to trick or treat with us around the Bigfoot community.

Join us, won't you?

Nearly three years ago, our podcast covered the sole case of unsolved aerial hijacking in United States history: the case of the legendary D.B. Cooper.

Now, armed with new perspectives, new information, and what some might call an almost autistic level of obsession, we’re taking a fresh look at the case, correcting some of our wrongful assumptions and trying to determine, once and for all, whether D.B. Cooper got away with his extorted money scot-free...

...or made a Looney-Tunes-style, human-shaped hole in the ground somewhere.

Join us today for this completely unscripted episode!

In 1976, Key West Fire Chief Bum Farto was convicted of dealing cocaine right out of the firehouse where he worked. However, instead of spending 15 to 31 years behind bars, El Jefe had other plans.

Bum went on the lam, and despite the FBI’s best efforts, was never brought to justice.

WHERE IS BUM FARTO?

Join Kyle and Nate as they try to track down one of Florida's most legendary characters: a cigar-smoking, Santería practitioning pillar of the community: the convicted drug dealing fire chief and fugitive from justice, Bum Farto.

Today I’m taking a look at the four most common archetypes of grifter found in the Bigfoot world. Using entirely fictional characters, I explore the motivations, personality traits, and behaviors that seem to appear again and again throughout the Sasquatch community.

Know the difference. It could save your life.

In this thought-provoking installment of the MOFA Files (Method of Free Associations Files), Nate sits down to give a candid insight into his journey from semi-believing in bigfoot to complete disillusionment in the entire subject matter.

P.S The podcast is not dead, I've just been too busy to sit down, write, and do research lately. We will be doing more episodes in the future, I just can't tell you when exactly. But hopefully soon. In the meantime, visit our YouTube channel. - Nate

I ate the crow… and it's been tearing me up inside.In the days since publishing my previous video on the Patterson–Gimlin Film, I’ve come to realize that I may have gotten this one completely wrong.After receiving an outpouring of support and encouragement from the kind folks over at the Bigfoot Community, I did the intellectually honest thing by questioning my long-held beliefs, and decided to take a look into the subject matter once more. This time, casting aside my biases and taking a fresh look at the footage. Over the past several days, I have gone down a rabbit hole which has converted me from a full-blown skeptic into a full-blown believer in the Patterson-Gimlin Film's authenticity. This is my story.

November 19, 1990. Downtown Minneapolis, MN.

John "Jack" Grundhofer, a powerful banking executive, professional cost-cutter, and pillar of the community, drives into work in his brand new Mercedes Benz much like any other day. What he doesn’t know is that lurking in the shadows of the underground parking garage is a man with a gun, an ill-thought-out plan, and a step-by-step list of handwritten kidnapping instructions.

What follows is one of the most bizarre, incompetently executed kidnapping attempts in modern American history, complete with imaginary activist groups, questionable ransom demands, a makeshift bomb, and a criminal mastermind who had no idea what he was doing.

Was this the work of a disgruntled former employee? A desperate amateur criminal? Or something even stranger?

Join Kyle and Nate as they attempt to get to the bottom of the legendary kidnapping of John Grundhofer, a story about hubris, the importance of planning, and how the ruthless pursuit of comically huge sums of money can only lead to one's own downfall.

Planet Mars.

Throughout much of human history, it was thought to be just some weird orange star that moves... or something. But as it turns out, Earth and Mars share more in common than humanity ever suspected; including conditions favorable to life during different, yet overlapping periods of time.

So where did life actually begin?

Can life on Earth trace its ancestry back to the Red Planet? Or could any life we might someday find on Mars trace its origins to ancient microbial life from Earth?

Join Ivan and Nate as they board a spaceship to Mars, a planet that might not have always been the frozen, dead ball of rust we see today, as they seek to answer the question:

Could YOU be a Martian and not even know it?

Tune in to find out.

Welcome to the 2025 Super Mystery Bros Halloween MONSTER MASH.

In 1995, something sinister stalked the hills of Puerto Rico, leaving hundreds of animals dead in its wake, most of them completely drained of blood. Rumors swirled of a cryptid creature with glowing red eyes, dinosaur-like skin, and straw-like fangs with the power to suck a goat dry like it's a Capri Sun.

In the small town of Canóvanas, a Vietnam War veteran mayor rallied an angry mob of residents to hunt the beast, with surprising results. Was it an alien? A government experiment gone wrong? Or just mass hysteria fueled by a bad 1990s B-movie?

Join Ivan and Nate for a Halloween deep dive into the legend of El Chupacabra, the half-reptile, half-kangaroo, half-alien creature that turned heaven on Earth into a living hell. Featuring eyewitness testimony, wild theories, and Ivan’s glorious return after a year-long hiatus.

Most important of all, hear the terrifying true story of Ivan’s neighbor’s encounter with the Chupacabra. You will be SHOCKED and HORRIFIED by what you hear.

If this episode isn’t on your bucket list... it should be.

Topics Include:

• ​ The 1995 Canóvanas livestock killings
• ​ Mayor José “Chemo” Soto’s legendary Chupacabra safari
• ​ Eyewitness accounts from Misael Negron and Madelyne Tolentino
• ​ Alien, mutant, and O.J. Simpson theories
• ​ Ivan’s neighbor’s terrifying encounter story
