In Part One of this Two Part Deep Dive Chris, Misty, and Max return to Cryptids to understand the origins of the mythical Goat Sucker, or Chupacabra. Explore and find out if Max can get thru an episode without slurring his words and mispronouncing basic words, Misty is able to describe a creature without talking about fanfic, and if Chris is disciplined enough to keep the show on track and prevent digressions into 90’s movie tropes and analysis of reality television (Spoiler Alert, he doesn’t).

In this episode Misty recaps a George Noori episode from 2006 all about the Nephilim. The gang learns about this subculture of Christian lore nerds that have latched onto the book of Enoch for totally non-psychosexual reasons and attempt to apply it to modern day politics.

Why does everything suck now? Chris and Max explore this question with our first guest William Craft and if an Old German man has a nonproblematic answer. Jumping off using the recently announced Survivor 50 cast Will, Chris, and Max explore Weber’s Iron Cage and its off shoots to see how capitalism has taken all the fun out of everything while complaining about niche fandoms, Catholicism, and our thoughts on Season 3 of White Lotus. Is fan culture just a time suck and second job for the audience? Did the producers ace it with the cast of Season 50? Will editing his first episode make Max realize how hard Chris works and make him stop being such a thirsty boy for drinks with ice cubes during podcast recording?

Max, Misty and Chris enter the sphere of Crystal Mommies when they visited the 35th annual Nevada City Psychic Fair to help stimulate the local economy. They all had their futures told, Misty got an aura photo, Christ got a Raccoon necklace and Max got an unhealthy obsession with a naked bear lady statue. The gang eventually end up musing on their social anxiety and speculating about the sexuality of Misty's boss.
