This week, Don convinces Blake to download a bad app called Paranormal Map so he can troll the other users. And he also tells the tale of the Altamaha-ha, a river cryptid from Georgia. Also, violent 90s salsa commercials!

This week, Blake and Don review/ridicule a deeply mediocre cryptid movie: Legendary, starring Dolph Lundgren and some other people. It's free on Amazon Prime video if you, too, want to spent two hours watching a bunch of interchangeable characters chase a humongous lizard.

Also, a quick review of the Hulu documentary Sasquatch!

This week Blake brings a seriously fascinating cryptid that is in more military history books than it is cryptozoology books, by a wide margin: the Rock Ape. Also, Rambo!

This week Blake and Don are joined by special guest Garrison Davis (@hungrybowtie on Twitter) of Behind the Bastards and Uprising: A Guide from Portland to discuss a cryptid they have been dancing around since the very beginning of this show. That's right, we're finally giving the full show treatment to that creepy MFer DeLoys' Ape, and hoo boy does it take a turn at about the halfway point.

Also, lots of Star Wars bookending the creepy monkey on a box!

This week Don's research gets away from him, so he runs Blake through another AI Dungeon! Sorry for two so close together, but this one goes whackadoo. We promise you'll like it.

This week, Blake is back! He tells us a bit about the movie he worked on and then goes into detail about the cadborosaurus, a Canadian sea monster. Also, ficus plants!

This week Don and his friend Cameron play an AI Dungeon that begins with an Albert Ostman-inspired scenario and quickly goes sideways. And violent. And a little psychotic.

This week, Don invites his old friend Aaron to guest host and they discuss life, the universe, and Octo-Squatch. Don and Aaron do incredibly cool science shows that teach science while also blowing things up! Find them on http://www.explosionsinc.com. They don't swear this much during a science show, unless you request it.

Also, a short history of the Basque region!

This week Don and special guest Jeff wax nostalgic about their shared hometown, discuss shitty rust belt economies, and then cover the Ohio Grassman, Ohio's very own sasquatch. Also, Bruce Springsteen!
