Cryptozoology, that beloved pseudoscience so full of bold hat choices, gets the rest of its comeuppance this week! But it’s not alone: conventional science also has had a long history of doing not exactly the right thing, and the conclusion of this Special Report offers some simple advice for all of the above: holy shit let’s do better.

Another Superduperstitious Special Report? Another critical look at the pseudoscientific shenanigans of cryptozoology? BOTH?! What a day!

In this first half of another epic two-part deep dive, the boys examine some cryptozoological coattail riding, Europeans’ long history of “discovering” species that were new only to their white asses, and of course some super cool aminals. Also, apparently a shitload of feral cats were just unleashed upon Chicago, so that’s nice.

The difference between “cryptid” and “not yet known to science” isn’t as black and white as the critters discussed in this episode. Listen in and appreciate that wordplay!

Palm trees are amazing.

In this week’s episode, Jake and Wyatt get unintentionally introspective and also maybe call for a general strike? That, and they embark on a Bermudangle voyage to explore the mysterious disappearances of Flight 19 and the S.S. Cotopaxi. It’s a Bermuda Triangle episode, is what we’re getting at. Check it out!

Comedian, podcast host, and generally curious guy ALEX SCHMIDT joins the show to talk about some surprisingly creepy things!

Given such a straightforward prompt, Jake launches in with the “surprisingly” spooky story of Bloody Mary. You know, that thing you didn’t realize was scary? But what if we told you… IT’S ALL TRUE? KIND OF?? Wyatt follows up with an even more chilling topic: Tupperware.

Is there a supernatural conspiracy among newspaper comic strips? How do you know if you have too much sperm? And what is the best name for a large food storage container? Find out the answers to some of these questions and probably others, all on this week’s episode of Superduperstitious!

This one’s about weird furniture.

Featuring: curses, Jake answering only in hums, and a return of The Quaff that comes dangerously close to actually reviewing a beer…
