From a dodgy basement in Boston, the salty coast of the United Kingdom, and the home of the Hollywood stars, the three fools of fascination return in... the Cryptid Factor!

Wooohoohoo! And we're... ...back! Yaaay! No, I get the exclamation mark at the end! We're back! Yeah! No, I get the exclamation mark at the end. Sorry, got excited. That was a great intro. The three fools of fascination.

I'm in. I know. Yes, please. I was proud of that bit. I was actually. The rest, I'll take it all either. Yeah, this is it. This is our April edition. Yeah. The rest are, you know, I take it all either. Yeah, this is it. This is our April edition. Yeah. Yeah.

And I am genuinely coming to you from a dodgy basement in Boston at the end of a bit of a world tour. And I'm so happy to see your guys faces and to be doing this is even though I'm in a dodgy basement. Yeah, I've aged incredibly since the last time. I'm now the big five zero. Of course, we've talked about discovering Nessie along with the help of Chi and her photographs and Steve and his allowing it to happen. And did you just malfunction for a second there? happen and did you just malfunction for a second though well I think what you're trying to remember your brain was trying to remember one of the highlights of

the last episode which of course just to help you out all of that was correct and great but probably the biggest highlight was of course me joining cameo and I just wanted to help you yeah that fact. Oh yeah. I mean that was quite a big highlight. How did that go? Well! It's been a few weeks since you've joined Cameo so I'm quite excited to hear how many videos you've made.

Wow! I've done a few and I have to say I did it as a joke and I'm now actually really enjoying doing them because I'm one of six kids and of course I never got to talk because I was number five in the pecking order wasn't the youngest so I didn't get spoiled wasn't the oldest so had no authority and so at the dinner table I couldn't talk nobody would let me talk and so now the people saying please talk at me and so I make these videos and I go I think they're expecting like maybe a minute or two and then I find myself clocking 10 minutes and I go I go better wrap this up now

And you- That's worse than me. You should not be on Cameo And you say a few you're saying a few you've done. I think it's something like 37 plus right? Is that how many it has been? It's been something, something like that. The highlight though, I got one that came through and it was a happy birthday message for somebody's daughter, a guy called Mike.

I did the shout out. I was quite proud of my work, sent it off. Next thing I get an email from a Michael P. Masters saying, thank you so much for the came you did for my daughter author of my favorite theory of aliens just being us from the distant professor Michael P masters even he's into. My cameos guys proud moment that's fantastic how many videos have you received people saying can you please stop talking and sending big long videos to me. I've had a few complaints of like I had to edit it. I'd spent another couple of hours after you sent it editing it down before I could use the video. Yeah.

Anyway. Hey, I've got something to report quickly, which is that while we couldn't the three of us get together I desperately needed someone for the other podcast that I do about weird stuff and buttons was available very kindly. I'm going to the rough corner so as ever talking lazy code buttons brought that to the table and since the episode went out. went out lazy code has just kept popping up surrounding it. No stop. So for example, one thing I said was I was randomly talking about books and I said, Oh, in the Philippines, I remember when I was a kid, I used to go to the bookshops and every book was wrapped in plastic. It was like a cellophane wrapping over every single book. And I was like, God, I've, I've never seen that since. I wonder why that happens.

I was like I've never seen that since I wonder why that happens couple days later someone randomly nothing to do with the episode messages me saying that they're in Indonesia and they show a photo of my book in a book shop wrapped in. I haven't seen that in years and years and years and then this one I get sent this right you know here we are two or three of the cryptid factor hanging out on this thing and let me see if I can sent this right, you know, here we are two or three of the Cryptid Factor hanging out on this thing And let me see if I can play this Sometimes running a business can feel like running a marathon Who's that? At the top of the show? That's me We talk about you right at the beginning of episode and someone messages me going I've just pressed play and Darby's talking to me before I can hear you in buttons lazy code. I can't bear to be separated you see and also just on a side note that zero software is amazing so if you do have.

Xero. I want to know the economics about what just happened there because you were paid for an ad to do this ad right. Yeah yeah. And now I'm making money from your ad for playing it on my show. The only one not making money here is buttons. Who was casting on my show. Who ironically is the only one using zero software probably out of the three of us. To organize the accounts for our podcast. Yes, yeah.

By the way guys, we made $17 this week so, you know, that's... I can show you on the graph. No, that's not true, Dan, because I then also after talking on your podcast I got two more cameo requests so actually. So you didn't make money look at this. Wow there we go. Look at us. We just can't stop. Money's.

It's very exciting. Listen I know because it's late for me that it's going to be a quick one but I do have to do something before we get to our first bit of news and that is. Okay. I have an update to give. Oh. A second exclusive. Oh no. It's an update on Shribes's giant ships.

Oh brilliant. I love this saga. Buttons can you share screen on a video I've just sent you. I will but only after we do this one quick little thing. Oh right. Did you say that this was a Cryptid Factor exclusive? Yes. Well then in which case we need to.

Cryptid Factor exclusive. OK, so just a bit of setup to this. I am now bringing in specialist experts to come and investigate they obviously have to wait in my house until a ship arrives on the horizon and then we go out so it's a bit of an annoying process this is my second guest to join us here we go. Dan Schreiber here, reporting for the cryptid factor on the phenomena of the giant ships. So here as we can see at the end of the street is a giant ship. Oh, I'll take your word for it. Now, of course, we know that I believe what's going on is a mystery. What we need is eyewitness accounts. Last time I gave you Alex Bell as a first witness.

Today, we have a second witness. So can I please get your name for the record? I'm Leon Buttons-Kirkbeck. I've travelled a very long way to come and see where this is. Get out of town! Why does he show up everywhere? I'm like a virus! I can't understand it.

So? I just said, I had to go see for my own two eyes. I had to see the phenomenon. It was like, come on. Unbelievable. You can't, I've dedication to the phenomenon guys. You gotta have dedication. I had to go verify.

You make the unbelievable even more unbelievable. That's what you do. We're trying to solve mysteries and you are one. So you're not helping. Oh no! What was the bloody result then? Come on. Buttons was in town so he came down to where I live and I realized I could get him to see

this so we did see there was a ship there that you see in the horizon. Just to clarify when he said I was in town I was in Amsterdam and Dan was like can you please come and help prove this phenomena for me and I was like okay so quick little jaunt across the channel. Yeah just a side track a side mission. Well we made it to the seafront and unbelievably the ship was the same size so I don't know what happened there. Yeah it was an absolute disaster. Hugely disappointing given how far buttons are traveled to see it. I have a few theories that is to do with seasonal changes seasonal vortexes so I was really down I was really depressed about it and then what ended up happening was we came back up to my place and we look down and right on the horizon you can see these giant wind farms.

Horizon you can see these giant wind farms. There's 60 of them in the distance and they were huge Yeah, so it's like ah, okay. Here we go So we logged them buttons took a bunch of photos and we went back down and then buttons they were Totally smaller by the time we went down these windmills were tiny But the weird thing is hundreds of meters up the road you took a photo You could see the wind farms perfectly fine and your camera, you go down, walk a couple of hundred meters closer towards the ocean, and you take your camera up exactly the same settings, exactly the same zoom level, and they were almost imperceivable. Their camera couldn't even almost determine them.

So there's something happening that makes them not only bigger but clearer from back up the road as well. It was super weird. But the ship, it didn't work for the ship. But you got photographic evidence of the windmills. Uh huh. We'll put it up on our Instagrams and what have you. Yeah. So that is further proof that Dan is living in some sort of magnetic Anomaly yeah, yeah, exactly and then that night we went and got absolutely pissed in the Druid Society He's applied but since has applied to Because you have to be drunk to apply. Exactly! I don't remember applying, but apparently I applied.

And it was fantastic. It was just as awesome as Dan had said. So we've got to get you there, Reece, and get you applied as well. We had a thought that maybe, or maybe this is giving away too much But we thought maybe what we do is do a live show. Oh, yeah, the live show from the Druids That would be amazing Wow for us, maybe not so much for them. Just have a whole bunch of Druids staring at us Yeah, not getting a single joke or reference sadly probably true alright well that's fascinating stuff cool updates that's awesome and I guess some of the fans already know but I am coming to the UK May 11th and 12th.

And I'm doing a show with you Dan your live we can be weirdos show on the 13th is that correct. That's right yeah I think we're sold out except there's some standing seats left oh standing seats yeah when did that become a thing. Who stands at a comedy gig I was a comedy oh yes I wouldn't know that they'll be standing in the back yeah but. I just doesn't seem right I always have standing room in my my gigs do you this is you will yeah this is a weird one. It's a weird theatre. I don't see even where you would stand at it. So anyway, but if anyone wants to stand, there's a few more tickets. Yeah, I'll see how I go. I mean, I have not been good at standing lately.

If you turn up, I'll just, you know, and not only will it be weird, I'll just be brassed off. Well, I just have to point out guys that with me being in the dungeon the basement of this Boston old house yeah I was home alone before now some people have turned up and they're flushing the toilets and washing their hands and that and I can hear all of the pipes. Right the inner workings of the realm yes so if anybody can hear that that's what's going on hey if you turn up on this we can be weirdos gig buttons make sure you're back of the backstage, through the audience. With a lantern, you're gonna have a lantern.

Oh yes, yes I will. But also, I by then will learn some spells. Or get some potions or something like that, just to make sure that I'm a legit druid. Yeah, it's not very druidy in the Druid Society. We basically, the only person we spoke to is a guy who home makes his own moonshine basically. Do you remember that? Like real heavy grade. Local alcoholic. Yeah. He described the whole process and he's like, I'm going to make 20 tons of this stuff, liters of this stuff in one go. Like who do you sell it to? And he's like, oh, the drunken

homeless dickheads on the street down there. And we're like was like what it was really weird. He's adding to the problem Yeah, he's basically the biggest problem of alcoholism in this whole area hanging out at the Druid Society I have a better vision of the Druid Society in my head, and I think I want to keep it that way Well, we actually haven't seen the Druid Society yet. Let's change the vibe of the society. That's all we need to do Well, apparently there's a big meeting room upstairs that none of us have been to yet. We just went down to the bar. It feels like kind of like what it might be is a decoy bar where people walk in and go doesn't feel like much like the...

And then apparently you go up the stairs and the guy wouldn't show us up there. He was like, no, it's too... can't show you up there. That's the real Druid society. You're kind of in the waiting room. Yeah. In the druid waiting room. For people that haven't actually been qualified yet, you've got to probably do a good 20, 30 years of intense druiding before you can get back there. That makes sense.

All right, well let's kick into everyone's favourite segment. Weekly World Weird News. Crazy, freaky, watch out. Okay, I'll kick off with this headline. Yep. Mystery as underwater anomaly larger than Texas spotted off African coast. Ooh. Ooh.

Wow. Okay. Freaky deaky. I've got a bit of a water-based one as well, which is that a doomsday fish has been spotted in Taiwan. Oh, a doomsday fish. Yeah. Oh. Is that just a really negative fish that's like...

He's just full of dream. All his buddies have been taken up by hooks and he's like the last one left. Just giving up hope. Well, totally by coincidence because clearly we do not organize anything in advance with this podcast, but I have water-based and fish-based news as well. No. By chance. Yes. My headline scientists have a conversation with a humpback whale which they hope will help mankind communicate with aliens. Oh yes. Okay nice. I know this one. Oh okay well you kick it off. Okay, nice. I know this one. Oh, okay, well you kick it off. Okay, so basically this comes from Newsweek. A wave anomaly captured by a weather mapping system sparked a global mystery, with some

internet sleuths even claiming it proves the existence of aliens. Ooh, this is brilliant! Lazy code! Lazy code! Yeah, yeah. of aliens. A giant cluster of waves over 80 feet high and spanning 2,000 miles, an area larger than Texas appeared to move through the ocean off the coast of Africa on April 10th in a journey that lasted about 24 hours before it vanished. Some online commentators said the formation could only have been created by something moving under the surface of the sea, making it an unidentified submersible object. That's right.

A USO. A graphic of the incident has been shared widely online and sparked numerous jokes and theories Some suggest the anomaly shows the path of a giant underwater sea creature like the fictional can't even Cthulhu Anyone oh, isn't that Calutha? Isn't that the Yes, that's my Calutha. so you do you know what that is. Is HP Lovecraft isn't it like meant to be the giant piece of the ocean. Okay there you go not sure that's how it's pronounced.

Or is it a submerged alien craft but Newsweek the article I'm reading, has learned that in fact it proves nothing more than the felillibility of data after discovering that the anomaly was caused by a model error. What? What do they mean? Hang on. What do they mean a model error? There's some sort of catwalk model down there going, sorry, push the wrong button. Sorry, that was my fault. No aliens, no aliens.

Yeah, a meteorological company have hired some catwalk models to operate. Some out of work models, desperate to do anything. The wave anomaly was picked up by Ventusky, who is a meteorological app. How is he? And he is run... That sounds like a model's name. This is where it gets really good. He's run by the Czech company Inmateo.

Okay. Inmateo. Inmateo. No, Inmateo. No, Inmateo is better. It's a dating app. I got that wrong. I always get confused with Inmateo.

That's where they got all those models from. Yeah. That, it's actually quite saucy. If you've got a friend and you've been friends for ages, but you actually want to get into them, you sign them up to this app in Mateo and they get a little ping on their phone and your photo comes up and they go, this is your mate. He's been your mate for many years. Actually wants to go further if you're keen and you can either swipe left or swipe right

right Reese have you checked your inmateo? I've got a couple here! I get one from you every day! I know! Please! Please! Just a quick little right! Just a quick little swipe right! Not interested! But I thought you wanted to get into me. Come on, you won't say that. On their website, the company wrote,

We have created an entirely new system of displaying waves. Through the use of animated arcs, our visualisation clearly... No, no one can hear your wave. Oh, I clearly... No one can hear your wave. Oh no one can hear me waving. Well this is an audio podcast still. So when you're waving at me, when you're doing a joke about you waving. No you've got to admit, a whole new way of doing waves of like, in Mateo. It's like you're kind of going, hi, I'm into you.

It's a new wave. It's a new're kind of going, hi, I'm into you. It's a new wave. It's a new type of wave. Anyway. Yeah. This is, I used to be your mate. Now I want more. Our visualization clearly differentiates the direction of movement and height

of both wind waves and swells. The graphic that showed the unusual sea activity near the coast of Africa has been shared on X which is, I love this because it's I don't know how long it's been X for but every single time you always have to put formally known as Twitter. They'll be saying that I think I hope to God people keep doing this in the next 20 years and they're still calling it X,obbly now on his Twitter just to piss that guy off. They will. Numerous times including by an account called Think Tank oh whose post received oh what am I actually reading here? We're not sure. Oh this is awful. Yeah I think it was a um anomaly. Computer blip. I still hold on to the belief that there's USOs cruising around there.

That's a much better thing. It says, please note that the model receives millions of data points and ships and buoys throughout the ocean. Problems can occur in such a large database, however, it may take a time to determine the exact cause of this error. There you go. There you go. There you go. Okay! It was a good headline though.

It was a great headline. And I've just done a wee search of inmateo. And I've found a website that says, find an inmate in Massachusetts prison as a mate. So there you go. Oh shit. Inmateo. Yeah, somebody's already got it and someone is using it. Yeah. There you go. What give us more Is it American only? It's for those who want to have a relationship with someone who's inside. How great my backup New story for today actually is about jail. Oh, maybe this guy's on in Mateo, but there's a prisoner who goes by the name

Benjamin Schreiber, so he's a little bit of a namesake there He's fighting to be released from jail because he has a life sentence. He did something horrible He killed someone but in prison he died, but they brought him back to life and he's arguing that technically he's finished his life sentence. Oh no. Oh my god that is good. That's a classic Shribes move. He's like that's come on. That's the Shriver brain in action there.

That's genius. Yeah so he's yeah he's taking it to multiple places the Court of Appeals in Iowa. Cause he technically died. Yeah. Yeah he's like I did it. Wow. I did the life sentence. This isn't second life now. He's like I did it. Wow. I did the life sentence. This isn't second life

Get off there's gonna now though if he does get off there's gonna be a whole bunch of inmates trying to go to a flatlining experiment Yeah, but what about your other story? Yep. So proper story doomsday fish, right? Okay. Look really tragically There was an earthquake that hits Taiwan. Couple of weeks back and there were lots of people injured I think there were some deaths and so on but in the lead up to it there was a fisherman thirty hours before who reported that he found a five foot long or fish while he was fishing eleven miles south of Hualien city. Eleven miles south of Hualien city what's hue alien city that's interesting. And this is big thing that I've not heard of before but traditional harbinger of earthquakes and tsunamis is if a fisherman season or fish. So he caught this or fish and he didn't know what it was really and it wasn't reported but had that have been reported the superstition is such that maybe a lot of people would have gone in land and got out of there if they'd known about it. So yeah there's a thing where people have thought that maybe if there's tectonic shifts and so on an or fish or other fish of the deep sea fish will come higher up to the surface area and get caught by a fisherman but scientists

say that generally that's not a thing that's more a myth so the fact that he caught an oar fish was weird anyway but then the fact that 30 hours later there was a giant earthquake which led to a tsunami is a pretty weird coincidence. I've heard this on numerous occasions actually with earthquakes that oarfish have been seen. I mean they're very deep sea dwellers and it makes sense that obviously they can sense something's going on, it takes them up to the surface because otherwise you just don't see them. There was one caught off the coast of California a few years back and there was earthquakes that followed that as well so it's happened many times so

I think the general rule even though it's in that myth status should be if there's an or fish caught at all because they are you know predominantly living on the depths of the ocean that the authorities should be alerted. Yeah yeah there needs to be a system just to qualify one thing I said the Huu alien city that was on the mainland it wasn't 11 miles at the fish was caught it was 900 miles south of the epicenter that the fish was caught so it's a bit of a distance but still you know it's in the vicinity right. Yeah and this is a thing you know I wrote about this in my book because earthquakes we have no idea when they're gonna come no matter what science we have it just doesn't happen so there are theories like this that maybe like a fish can tell you there was a guy in America who believed that missing cats if you look into the newspapers and you see a lot of missing cat ads that means an earthquake is on the way. Cats know yeah so the idea was is that they wanted to someone propose this in America to set up a hotline whereby you would call it if your cat was missing and then if they had enough of it they be like earthquakes on the way we need to get ready so they keep looking to the animal world to try and work out the earthquake. Yeah it's a very wise idea to do the phone line because the big challenges is that there's not many newspapers printed anymore so that some point the whole system of trying to determine if an earthquake's coming you go be like guys we're gonna shut down

the printing press nobody's buying the papers anymore we can't how will we know if an earthquake is coming we have to keep printing the newspaper just blank pages apart from the missing cat section that's just all it's gonna be no news nothing and by the way there really should be a missing cat section. That's just all it's gonna be. No news, nothing. And by the way there really should be a missing cat section in the newspapers. People would start buying newspapers again. Like just a beautiful double page spread with pictures of cats like with you know their names and things like that. And then you could use that by pinning up the newspapers around the power poles around the city. Yeah you just use the newspaper just print them up there you go

easy save paper too and people making their own signs. Exactly well there we go. We're here for solutions guys, we've got the tractor solutions. Wow what would people do without us thank you. Back to solutions. Wow, what would people do without us? Thank you. Okay, well, can I blast out my new story quickly? Yeah. Yeah. This one actually, believe it or not, I saw this at the headline once again,

scientists have a conversation in little air quotes with a humpback whale, which they hope will help mankind communicate with aliens. Now I thought, okay, this is probably some AI modeling that marine scientists are using to try and understand the migration of these huge big mammals in the water or what have you. No, this is our dear friends at SETI, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. They have put the whole expedition together and trying to

communicate with whales as a proof point, or at least as a test to see whether or not we can actually figure out a way to communicate with aliens if and when we do actually come across them. Because obviously there's going to be a language issue. Yeah. Unless of course aliens are time traveling humans from the future, in which case, of course, they'll speak any of our languages. No, there'll still be, like, look how different our languages to Shakespeare's time now.

Like, it's going to be rough. That's true. Language will evolve. We'll have to send back, like, a theatrical- thespian to come back and talk to us in 2020. Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah, oh yeah, yay. Tick tock abound, you peasants. What is that?

Who are you being there? Can you clarify what's this bit? Well, if it's thousands of years in the future, they're gonna just mash together Shakespeare and our language now they're just saying oh something within those 200 years worth of language surely that'll work right so they'll be it'll all be messed up yeah it was also because i didn't know how to do a time traveler from the future speaking our language today so yeah was that even Shakespeare

you were doing the guy who brings the bell in towns The town crier the town's early doing I think Yeah, I was confused as to what this character was he was in one of those Shakespeare plays Yeah Horatio Horatio, Horatio. Oh, where though? Hey, Horatio. But he's on stage, is he? Yeah, the only thing I'm saying is that

they're the only ones who remember how to talk Shakespearean. So if we had to send somebody back today, right now, to time travel back to Shakespeare time. Oh, okay. Surely you'd send a thespian. You'd send the town crier. You'd send somebody from the, you know, Romeo and Juliet. You'd go, oh you, you want to go back and have a chat to them guys back in the past?

Thank you. We're going to send Kenneth Branagh back. But they're actors. That's the only person. So, right, that's what you're suggesting. Kenneth Branagh. But they're actors. That's the only person. Yeah. Right. That's what you're suggesting. Kenneth Branagh. Yeah.

No, but. Jono Roberts could do it. Jono Roberts would be fantastic. He'd done a bit of Shakespeare. Yeah. But also in the distant future, if we're like, guys, we need to send somebody time travel back to 2020. Yeah.

Or this sort of time, they'd go, right, who's currently acting in Legally Blonde? Whoever's acting Legally Blonde, send them back. Well, whoever's in Legally Blonde in the future. Yeah, yeah, doing Broadway in the future, much like people who are doing Shakespeare. Why is Legally Blonde on in the future? How far in the future are we talking? Well, it's the same thing as, it's the same thing as, like, I can guarantee you, nobody back in the Shakespeare days would have been like, you're telling me in 2020, they're still going to be doing this Romeo and Juliette bullshit. No way. It's like pretty average. And then you never know.

2020, 22, 22, 22, 22, 22, 22. Where are you from? I'm from 2020, 2020. Oh no. Oh my God, that's an amazing year. It wasn't Legally Blonde big then. Yeah, it came back. That's every chance. There's every chance. Legally Blonde or Book of Mormon. What other? I can't think of any other plays.

Okay, those are the two. What about Spamalot? Spamalot. Could be Spamalot. We sent some... No, because they're just all talking like they were back in... ...Shakespeare Day anyway. Oh, right, right. They could do both. I don't think you've seen Spamalot, they're not really. Let's move on to the article. Okay. Sir Spamalot.

Isn't it Sir Spamalot? No, it's not. Sir Spamalot, no, Spamalot is the name of the play. No, dude. Read your article. Just do the article, do the article. the article. Okay, here's the article. I've decided I'm going to read it in the style of Shakespeare. I'm not going to. I would if I could, but I can't. So I'm not going to. OK, here we go. A group of scientists had a conversation with a humpback

whale in Alaska. And I hope principles learned from it will someday help communicate with aliens. The team was assembled by the SETI Institute, Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to search for extraterrestrial intelligence across the universe. While the organization normally looks to the skies, they turn their attention

to the seas. Wiles are a proxy for aliens, animal behaviorist Dr. Josie Hubbard tells The Post. This is, by the way, the New York Post, so take some of it, Lugrena. They're intelligent creatures with a language that is foreign to us. The things we learn from communicating with whales could help us when it comes time to connect with aliens. Their language is complex. It's Lisa Walker, a whale song theorist.

Imagine that as a job table. Theorists. No, I think they, the theorists, This one, I think, I'm pretty sure, this one's Spice Girls. Yep, no, they're singing Spice Girls at the moment. Stop right now. Thank you. Yep, that's definitely Spice Girls. Um, no,

I'm sure that's not how it works. Not to belittle her job. No, no, no, it's a really good job. See, it's the guy in the dodgy basement in Boston. Some guy from Romeo and Juliet. 2020 2020. I could be a well song enthusiast as well.

I know what's happened here race this is something that you missed out on but after druid society we walked past the theatre and the person is someone that I knew who's running it and he allowed us to sneak into the theatre. And we sat downstairs and had beers and there was a microphone on stage, 20 minutes of stand-up to no one. No! He was that pissed. He was pissed! That's brilliant! Oh my god. Wasn't it good though?

Well, was it good? I, I mean, hang on. Did you capture any of it? No! Oh my god, you've got it there. Is that what it is? Yep. Is that what it is?

See, I'm like, look, hey, someone, who else in here has uh, issues? Oh my god. Because, I gotta say, there is a lot of issues I have. I just thought this could be a really good place to... Is this the right time to get my issues? Because... It goes for 20 minutes so I see what's happening. You've had a taste of the stage. No, it's a great punchline to that one. And what about the NPC one?

You thought it was a good gag, didn't you? The NPC one? I was like hands up, who's an NPC in my Matrix tonight? You know, because I knew that they were people I could control and make laugh at my jokes. So this wasn't just improvised, this was a pre-written set. Remembering it right. Anyway, so clearly he's had a taste of it and he now is busting out Shakespearean legally blonde sketch comedy. Yeah.

Here on the podcast. Took me ages to write that. But guys, let me finish my article. Yeah, quickly. Quickly. Have you got a recording of the whale sound? That's what we're waiting for. Oh, yeah. No, I don't. I was hoping you might be able to provide that. I've got it here. You ready? I have you. Good. good. Oh, it's a quarter legally, illegally blah. It's hard to make out.

See, I told you they were singing Spice Girls. It's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's When Seti finally get contact with aliens they're gonna be like, I'm pretty sure, you know they're singing us the Spice Girls, just like the whale. Wait, have you got the theorist? Get the theorist. What are they saying? I think they're saying, here's the story from A to Z, if you want to get with me, God, it doesn't count for me. Oh man, I tell you what, I'm so glad they've sorted all this out because, you know, I was worried when aliens contacted us that it would be screwed, but clearly.

How much money would you make from the Spice Whales? Oh my god. That is brilliant. Did you see that for Victoria Beckham's birthday? They all got back together again. So they're going to go back and tour. So they're not going to tour. I think they just partied. Well, no, I think that means they're going to tour surely.

That's them announcing it. What better way to see them together again, though? It was. Anyway, the scientists believe some of the wild noises are merely social sounds and they hypothesize that other vocalization has specific communication values. They could be making demands, says Hubbard. Go up, go down, go here, go there. Demands.

Demands. But so what was the conversation between the scientists and the whale? And what did it mean? Well, the team was on a boat off the coast of Alaska when they found a whale pod and they played underwater recordings of humpbacks, but despite their best efforts, most of the whales ignored them. Or at least make no disabled emolition. It doesn't sound like a very good two-way conversation.

It sounds to me a bit more like a sort of Leon Buttons Kirkbeck talking to someone else. That type of, we can hear him talking but let's just keep moving. Some people do say I do talk a little bit subsonic, sort of low, glowing. Hey I paid good money for this cameo, and I wish I hadn't. 10 minutes of me making whale noise. And I wish I hadn't. Ten minutes of me making whale noise. If we do crack it though, WhalePod is a good name for their podcast, isn't it? Oh, yeah. WhalePod.

Brilliant. It's perfect. WhalePod. Brilliant. But then a female humpback named Twain began circling their boat. As scientists played the recorded sounds, Twain began circling their boat. As scientists played the recorded sounds, Twain began mimicking the noises and calling out to the boat as if to say hello. It was a contact call said Hubbard. It's how the whales call to each other. They make whoops and

thumps. And they say, it might just have been us saying hello and her responding hello and then us saying hello again explains Walker. But it was definitely communication. She did it 36 times in 20 minutes. It only stopped after the playback stopped. What do you want? Hello? What do you want?

Yeah, hi. I want to take a cigar. But how screwed are we with aliens if after 20 minutes all they got was hello to each other? That's like, that's the best brains in the business working on it. It's like they tried to contact whales to be able to start communicating with them. That's crazy. Yeah.

It's like, you know, I met Tom Cruise. I had a conversation with Tom Cruise. What? Did you? Well, I was at the premiere and I saw him. I saw him walk past and I went, Hey, Tom, Tom! And he definitely looked as though he might have almost looked at me. So there was a conversation there. And you don't even know whether or not he actually did actually hear you say hello.

He might have been hearing you say something. The funny thing is here, I did hear he got home and he actually told his friend that he had a conversation with Reece Starvey he said no you wouldn't have he said yeah I walked past he went hey hey Tom hey Tom but I was too nervous to bloody say anything back but yeah he counts that as a convo with me so it's you know what it means 20 minutes of him walking down the red carpet it's perception isn't it at the end of the day that's what we're getting to life is about perception how you perceive yourself look my hot shields just come on.

You what? Your hot shield. You guys. Hot, hot spot shield. Hot, hot spot shield. Hot shields come on. Uh oh. Uh oh.

Watch out guys. If I start getting too smart, a hot shield comes up because people aren't attracted to To nerds so basically if I get a little bit too intellectual my little hot shield comes up and filters away, and then I turn back into the lovable idiot again You guys should get yourself a hot shield You guys should get yourself a hot shield. No, I don't need one. I actually seem to be fine without my hot shield.

It's like, for some reason I just, I never, never need one, never get hot enough. It's really weird. It doesn't matter how many jackets I pot on, I never get hot. It's really weird. Luke Warmmshield, you've been rocking that. Okay well that's exciting stuff. I've actually got something here. I don't know how that actually corresponds to us communicating with aliens but while you were chatting about this kind of stuff and I was looking forward to you know maybe it being the key to us having the ability to talk to aliens in an alien language I realized that I come across something today that's on one of the you know, maybe it being the key to us having the ability to talk to aliens in an alien language.

I realized that I've come across something today that's on one of the websites I enjoy and it's some archive footage and I'd like to play this for you if I can because what it is it's this chap in the 1960s and he's being interviewed by a BBC reporter and he basically is telling the reporter that he can speak three different extraterrestrial languages so yeah you ready for this? Oh here we go What does that mean actually? That means how are all you?

I am very pleased to see you this afternoon. How many languages can you speak? I can speak altogether three of the space languages. One is Venusian, the second is Kruger, the planet Kruger 6 to B, and Pluto. What about Plutonian? What does that sound like? Plutonian is... ... ...

... ... ... How did you learn these languages? These languages have been a gift sent from me from the actual people by rays and even at this moment although you cannot see them they are sending these rays down Wow that is mental yeah he fully believes he can speak those three languages yeah yeah well let's just play the first one again. Okay, play it again, play it again and just think about the outboard motor on the whale

expedition. Just think of it, just think about the boat before it takes off into the harbor. We're just, we're just, no we're out on the harbor and we're just about to idle because we've seen the whales around and we know that we want to learn how to speak whale because it could be extraterrestrial so this is the sound from the outboard engine. For me it sounds more, Reece can you go back to the beginning again? This might not sound like it to you guys, but to me, this is what it sounds like. It sounds exactly like a really intense auction at Sotheby's, and that's the guy taking in

the bids. Okay, so we're at Sotheby's. It's a big auction. This is for the verified proof of extraterrestrials. There's actually a thing has been caught by some fishermen. They thought it was a whale but it's actually an extraterrestrial that's landed in the sea. A USO. Multiple people bidding. Paddles are coming. Multiple people bidding. This is huge. Here we go. Here it is.

Yes! Yes! Here! Me! Here! And sold to Leon Kirkbeck Also known as Buttons for the Cryptozoological Cryptofactim Museum Yay! Put that whale in my swimming pool please! 250,000 USD! Well well done mr. buttons congratulations. What's amazing in this video was you see him sitting there it's a tight close-up of his mouth slowly reveals his face. And he's meant to be the person communicating with aliens and then they open the shot to the interviewer who absolutely is an alien.

who absolutely is an alien. You look at it. Just no question. Sitting next to an alien. His hair is all quaffed up like he's just up out of bed. He's like, he has no idea how to be a human. Though he looks like he's zipped up a human suit and he hasn't done

the hat like he's... So, I'll play you this bit here in the video where he shows the BBC reporter that he can also do the writing of aliens. He's going to now automatic write as he does this, he does the voice as well because it's the alien is coming through him. He's going to write something for the reporter to read.

Okay, this is this next bit. Is this a comedy bit? No, this is for real. This was real. Is this from the 60s? Yeah In addition to speaking languages, I believe you can also write them. Yes, I can write these languages Could we see an example they're writing do you think? Yes, certainly What does that mean actually? This here means that we are here for a purpose which is something to do with your earth that

we will reveal later. I see. He does some plutonium writing now. Could we see some plutonium writing do you think? Certainly. It's like Japanese characters. He forgets to do the voice until now. Whoa. Wait till he explains what this one is. What does that mean, naturalist? This means, now they have written this here, a message to you. Before long, in 1969, we are going to show you proof. Patrick! Patrick Moore? Yes! Patrick Moore! Oh my god!

Yeah so how did you get to see Alan Goode? So Patrick they've called you is that you're right with that I mean yes no that's my name. Yes. That's some Patrick Moore. God. It does go to confirm in some ways my theory about aliens being time travelers from the future because I can actually imagine that this is what English and Japanese all of the languages of the world today if they were all muddled together and run language like it sounds like that mm-hmm right well it all started with us communicating with whales I believe that he's talking to whales more than he would be aliens to be quite frank that writing is

ridiculous the fact that that aliens are writing. That they are using pencil and paper. It's very entertaining. So if you do want to check this out, this on YouTube is called, Can You Speak Venusian? Wow, that's insane. All right, let's do some cryptid news.

Have you watched it? No, no, I don't think it's out yet. It's still doing the festival circuit. It hasn't been released into the cinemas yet. But the entire movie is all Sasquatch based. So it's about a family of Sasquatches. And yeah, you've got big actors acting in it. I think that Jesse. Yeah, there is Nathan Zelner and David's zelner's Sasquatch Sunset is what it's called. And it's called.

What's the actor's name? Jesse Eisenberg. Yeah, he's one of the guys. Yeah. So they're all dressed entirely as Sasquatches and it's about their somewhat disgusting sexual behaviour amongst other things that they just do in the wild. There's not a single word of English spoken in the film, but it's highly, highly entertaining and people are not sure about it. Some people are walking out, others are walking in. Half way through. Yeah. not sure about it. Some people are walking out, others are walking in. Half way through.

Yeah. I heard about this. I wouldn't mind having a quick look at this actually. I just watched something down the aisle there, but you know, when you finish your movie and you see what else is available before you have to leave the cinema. Getting a few midway walk-ins. Where's Dabbs in this though? Surely you should have got the call up for a Sasquatch name. I know. I mean, come on. That was short-sighted. I tell you, more and more, my kids are experimenting with new shows and movies and stuff on Netflix

and so on. So I think it was before the holiday, I'm watching Ninja Turtles and I'm hearing a voice going, I know that voice. And it's Reese as the rhinoceros or something, or hippopotamus or something. Yeah. Hippopotamus. So a couple of days ago, I'm in sort of casually reading my book while my boys are watching a Trolls movie. Suddenly I hear this, like, where are we going, guys? I'm like, surely that's not Reese again. Yeah. IMDB it is.

It's everywhere. Trust me, I'm voicing a lot of stuff over the last decade, and it's cool. I just pop up in a lot of animated projects. But I'm more excited with my new one that's coming out this Christmas. Can't say anything too much about it. Oh yes, I'm excited about that one too. Christmas movie coming out of the UK that I'm involved in as well. So that's exciting.

Very exciting. Yeah. Okay. Well, but you're not in Sasquatch, which is a huge oversight. Sasquatch Sunset. Sasquatch. Yeah. Now the interesting thing with this movie is that their point of making this movie is that they this movie is that their point of making this movie is that they were saying the filmmakers like there's always Sasquatch movies from the point of view from the humans discovering Sasquatch or seeing Sasquatch. They wanted to make a Sasquatch movie from the point of

view from Sasquatch. And so therefore it's like a sort of almost like a documentary is the way it's showing how they live and how they fornicate. I love it. So there's lots of rude scenes where they're either fornicating or playing with themselves or what have you. That's why they're saying some people are walking out, defecating and all this. Like it's all sort of no holds barred. It's just like a nature documentary.

Yeah, it is. But apparently like the costumes they had to get into and what have you were just claustrophobic and like, they went to a lot of effort. And people were already seeing it and I just saw, I didn't read it because it was a spoiler alert but it was, Sasquatch Sunset Ending Explained. So if the ending need explains, it must be complicated. We will watch it as soon as we can and we'll review it for the show. Because we haven't done a movie review for a while. No, yeah, we can bring back the sting for the movie review.

Anyway, so that's that news. That's the main thing. What else? What other news we got? So I was just looking at the IMDB trivia section. I always love that bit. Noquatch said, no dialogue is spoken by the actors. They only speak in grunts and other guttural noises. Yeah, that would have been easy.

No lines to learn. Yeah. The actors took lessons from a mime on how to perform exaggerated expressions. So they had mime training in order to do Sasquatch. Another thing I wouldn't need to do. I mean, they're really missed out on having me there. Yeah, fools. All right, well, I do have some news here. This is quite exciting, this news, which is that there was a very famous case in the UK in 1855 in Devon where, after heavy snowfall, cloven hooves were found to go for a hundred miles across gardens fields and rooftops and they became to be known as the devil's footprints

So these became known as the devil's footprints and You know people thought it was Satan Satan had come out and he got caught with his footprints having walked all the way through So this is, as I say, February 1855, and it's been a mystery for over 170 years now, because people have sort of always just brought it up and it's a bit of lore and myth. But a documentary filmmaker has retraced the route of the footprints by air, and they've come to a big conclusion, which is that they believe it was an escaped big cat prowling the countryside. And this is a theory that they've then taken to places and they found and confirmed by reports of a private animal collection and menagerie in the area. meant that these animals were out in the room so they believe that that's exactly what it was but what that means is this was the first ever recorded big cat sighting in the UK ever so it's gone from the devil's footprints.

To now us knowing that it was a big cat more exciting yeah cuz that really certifies the ABC phenomenon and when it probably began exactly this is like patient zero yes exactly it's amazing yeah so freaking time very cool you say about freaking time for the hundred seventy year old mystery yeah yeah Tell you what, some closure for buttons in this episode. I've been waiting, waiting, I've been sending time travelers back to teach thespians all manner of Shakespeare plays to go back and. Buttons is going back and forth in time constantly, you know, future buttons, historic buttons. And so we do forget that, you know, especially when future buttons has to sort of teach historic buttons what to do he's got to go right back to an early version of himself and tell him to go forward to 2020 and you know one of them knows is the town crier and he's confused he doesn't know any Shakespeare whatsoever but he's been told to be the Shakespearean actor from God knows what to confuse people when they're doing a play about legally blonde or some shit

I mean it's absolute it's like when you get your cables tangled behind the television that's that's the living embodiment of of of his life okay so I was just gonna you can rebutbuttal it you'll go for you one minute if you've got something to say no i just couldn't believe that i actually said 2020 2020 when i was trying to see the date with all the tooth poor tooth 2020 2020 2020 fact. Broadway's still around as well. Broadway! I'll free up now on my Broadway time. I'll never forget when I discovered the extraterrestrial whale pond with my outpoured motor.

Now look the UK is known for the alien big cats and we love them to bits but what it's not known for usually is Bigfoot however there's a news article here from The Mirror that came out recently and it says Fears UK's own

Bigfoot stalking national park with huge clue growling creature can't be human. Okay okay so that for a start doesn't make much sense but it is the mirror but anyway let's just move into the article I just rechecked my reading of it and that is what it says. What? Huge clue growling creature can't... clue. I think it just needs a comma after Cuz there's commas in the headlines I suppose you don't know no punctuation anymore What's the world coming to all I know and I get told off for putting full stops or periods if you're a American and my texts I don't do that.

Can't do that. Yeah. Kids look at me. Oh, what are you doing? You don't put I mean, I just can't believe it. Are you angry? They say. Are you angry because you're using a full stop?

Is that what they're saying? Yeah. Oh really? Yeah. Well you. Yeah. You only use full stops if you're angry. Oh wow. Can you imagine these poor people right now they've discovered big foot in Britain they put out the press release and everyone's too distracted by the weird punctuation or lack of yeah to actually discuss.

Well anyone over 30 is looking at it going hang on fears UK's own big foot stalking national park with huge clue growling creature huge huge clue growling creature well that's badly written I tell you what it does yeah I'll put a comma in there after huge Nathan hang on let's have a look at this Fears UK's own Bigfoot stalking National Park with huge clue growling creatures notes no that doesn't work put it in after the clue put it in after the clue alright there we go put it after huge clue national park after huge well with huge clue

yeah comma growling creature can't be human there you go oh I like that yeah there we go Unfortunately we've run out of time to read the article but It was a doozy it was very good basically to sum it up with no punctuation whatsoever Fishermen making late night visits to an idyllic lake in South Downs have revealed that a growling creature Petroles the area and has been spotted escaping down a dangerous hill

What I would also like to get a description of the creature. Let me just point this out first There's two words in that paragraph that had inverted commas Okay, the word growling. growling and the word dangerous. So what does that tell you? It says that you read it as revealed that a growling creature patrols the area and has been spotted escaping down a dangerous hill. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. No, that's, they're not believing in themselves. I no that's what people are doing if you're gonna

use no you know grammar then okay that's one thing but then using grammar in a way that's mocking yourself they've used all of their commas and inverted them and whack them around some way that's. They use their quotient of commas and by inverting them. It's like leaving nails up on a shelf. I'll get them in a minute and put them where they need to be. They're just sort of like waiting. Waiting to be used. Where'd you leave the commas? We left them above growling and dangerous. If you need them. Oh no, and the photo they've used on this as well is a just a guy in a suit from Getty images really bad one but let me have a look I just want to read a brief on the on the article itself just for those that are interested. Okay so these

reports basically coming in of a mysterious creature allegedly seen and heard more predominantly on several occasions around one of the region's lakes okay the region being South Downs. Some of these reports come courtesy of a fisherman who claims to have encountered a growling creature on a particularly rough piece of terrain with a sharp incline. Okay, so this is this dangerous hill thing and he says I felt incredibly on edge and it was a feeling I can honestly say I've never experienced before or since. It really was as if something was watching me and I was not welcome so that's quite cool because people have felt that before you know

when you're being watched and that kind of thing and then people do correspond that to Bigfoot quite a bit he says I think though the most standout thing is the terrain being covered in the dark it sounds dangerous enough to attempt in the daylight let alone in the dark when you can't see any obvious signs of torchlight That's the really scary part because no human could do it without suffering injury So there was this figure that was on there. There's no lights and then he's hearing the growling So he says I was dozing on my chair next to the rods these very late-night fishermen You see when I

was woken by a loud growl from the opposite bank he said the creature whatever it was seemed to run at a considerable speed on two legs what he was so unnerved by the incident that he quickly packed up his things and left the he is on my arms stood up he says. They would. But could there really be a Bigfoot like creature stalking the shores of the lake? It's worth recalling the recent case there was another one I was gonna pull up of a Bigfoot sighting in Washington state that actually turned out to be a cross-country runner. And growling. Yeah this was this one went on the BFRO website, the Bigfoot RO. Oh.

Yeah, because... The Bigfoot RO? I don't know what the RO stands for, can't remember. Research organisation. Oh yeah, there you go. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, it is. Well done, you.

Well done. Thank you. It's been a while since we've mentioned them. But yeah, so someone saw a big figure, but the guy who was there, I don't know how he found out, but he must've got on the signs and maybe found out the news. And he checked his watch, which had like a satellite running smartwatch thing,

showed him the root of his run. And he said, oh no, that was me. Oh, that was right up on the edge there. No. Yep. That was me, mate. Is that all it was? Yeah. Is that all it was? Is that all it was? Aging legitimately? Yeah. Oh that's so sad. That is so sad. But that's not this one. That's another story. That's one that. Yeah. But it's good when, you know, if it is you, own up to it. Don't let these guys, you know, cause genuinely people are freaking out about

certain things and are rushing to conclusions. But the UK is such an overpopulated and there's not a lot of bush or forestry that is big enough to house a family of Bigfoot. What they're like, it almost makes you think interdimensional stuff or what have you, because you can't imagine. No, there's not a think interdimensional stuff or what have you. True. Because you can't imagine. No, there's not a population roaming through the forests in the UK. 100% no.

Which is why we generally don't see or hear of them there. So you know, the question is out on this one. It is also possible that the fishermen could have mistaken a conventional animal for something that more unusual in the darkness. Of course. Conventional two-gged animal like a human human. Yeah. Is the only other. Here's my question.

Where did Jesse Eisenberg rehearse his acting role for Sasquatch Sunset? Because he was actually reportedly staying in South Downs at the time. He's very method, isn't he? Yeah. He lived for six months of the British Bigfoot. One of the interesting things they said that shooting the movie, the Bigfoot outfits were so convincing, they had to be walked around all the time by a human to be walked around all the time by a human minder with an orange vest on to stop hunters actually taking them out because otherwise somebody would be like holy shit there's a bigfoot I'm going to shoot it and take it as a trophy. That happened, we've mentioned this on Return of the Jedi.

Chewbacca had to be taken around by high viz guys in the North Californian forests for the exact same reason. That's right. Yeah. And for good reason too, because my very brief crypto buzzer news article is Washington Sheriff receives bizarre Sasquatch call from curious Hunter. And basically the article is just about how in Washington state, a sheriff got a call from a hunter wanting

to go into the woods to hunt Sasquatch. And it was a bona fide legit call where this hunter was calling. He said he had concerns about if it was legal to actually kill a Sasquatch and whether or not if he did see a Sasquatch and killed it, if he would be imprisoned or if he was doing anything illegal. Oh God. And he asked, he said, is a regular hunting license enough to keep his Sasquatch hunt legal? So this guy obviously was going in there, 100% convinced that he was had the ability to be

able to shoot a Sasquatch and quite rightly is obviously kind of going, shit, if I do shoot one, am I, is somebody people going to turn on me and go, Oh no, you're going to prison mate. You just shot an endangered species or something like that. So I guess that article just goes to prove that those actors, everybody from Chewbacca through to the Sasquatch Sunset people, there's a good reason. It's a dangerous role to have.

I can see why you'd need that. Especially because from the shorts I've seen of the trailer for that movie, I mean, they're very realistic, especially what you can do these days and back in the day. In fact, it would be worth watching just to see how good the suits are because whether they have muscle definition and that kind of thing. Because when you think about the 1960s, Patterson, Gimlin footage, you know, does it hold up to that? Well, that's the interesting thing.

Guess where they shot the movie, right? Where the Patterson, Gimlin footage was actually taken. Really? Yeah. Oh, that's also. They went back into that space. Yeah. God, imagine if some actual Sasquatches got involved as well and saw the humans like dressed and started to believe and sort of come over and you know just be part of it. Yeah. No, I'm an actor. Leave me. Leave me. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I don't think we'll let you do it.
