The Cryptid Factor - 30: #030 The Probing Issue

Episode Date: September 27, 2017

The Cryptid team are back at it with another bout at the weird and wonderful. This week there are White moose ready for colouring in, three-fingered mummified aliens waiting for Rhys's subscription, Alligators at the door and a demon goat that has Buttons freaked. All this and more!

The Cryptid Factor, with Rhys Darby and Dan Shriver. Well hello! Hey! I'm so used to that tune it caught me unawares. I was busy looking at my computer. Rhys isn't quite with us today. He's just travelled for six hours from Perth. We're sitting here in a hotel room at Auckland Airport with Dan on the old computer. So Rhys hasn't slept much. I'm on 11% battery power on our laptop. We're going to have to keep an eye on that. We'll give you updates. Because yeah, Button's laptop will die.

Well I forgot. So I had to drive all the way here to the airport early this morning to be here so I could see you and we could do this podcast which is great. I appreciate that. No that's good but I left the house and I forgot my cell phone which I dropped in the shower this morning so now it's not charging and it's actually dead. Hang on, you dropped it in the shower? Why did you take your cell phone into the shower? I was researching cryptid news. Why are you having a shower? Well because I was in a hurry to get here and then I was kind of like thinking that. I've just thought of a new invention. You know soap on a rope? What about cell on a rope?

So you take it into the shower with you, it's got a rope around it, you carry it around your neck. It's genius. You're playing music. Oh that's genius. And you're in the shower with your cell on a rope? Well that's essentially not going to sell with that title. It's certainly not going to do well in prisons. So I haven't got my charger. We're now at 9% and so I've got no research, no story research. We're at 9% we were on 13% two minutes ago. Yeah this is going to be a real short play. It's like nearly midnight where Dan is in the UK.

This is a buddy, nightmare. Well the good news is I have finished my tour. The Mystic Timebird has finally returned to its nest. Here I am back in New Zealand but of course I live in LA so I do have one more flight. But yes. Congrats man. Thank you. Can you believe it? 28 shows, two countries, 20,000 people. Those are some of the specs. It's specs. Stats, stats, stats. What are specs?

They're in your pocket there. I'm going to put these on so I can see the stats. Oh yeah, I got those wrong. I was double it. It was 20 people and two venues. 28 countries. Still quite impressive. Still good. Well congratulations and I feel very honoured to be in the room with a very exhausted person. Yeah well let's without further ado let's crack in. Well first of all quickly how are you Dan? We're sitting there like we're talking about ourselves.

I can't even see him. Well I've got my battery powered. Yeah is that more important is it the battery? Oh there it is. Yeah no I'm good. I'm a bit distracted from the conversation because in Leon's shot there's a TV on in the background. So where you're sitting? There's golf playing. There's a golf thing playing on the TV in the background.

I mean I think there's something about Reese's tour. I don't quite remember but that was a hell of a tight game going on on the TV. Tell me about a birdie. Yeah. A mystic time birdie. Unfortunately that's yes very good. Also we've got time for from you and your update there Dan because we've got to move on with the show. What are we up to on the battery levels?

Seven percent. Seven percent. I'm going to turn the brightness down. You've got to treat this like Apollo 13. Every little bit of battery counts. I'm shutting down all the system. The Bluetooth. Software updates.

Why have you got all those things on anyway? Because I'm a busy man. So busy you forgot your cable. Exactly. That is exactly a hundred percent right. Well let's kick into the weekly world weird news. Okay here's the stink. We don't have time mate. We don't have time we'll just say it.

Weekly world weird news. Okay. You want to go Dan? You want to go first Dan? Yep. Got a story here. Giant tortoise that escaped a zoo went missing for over two weeks. But was finally caught. And it was found after two weeks of escaping the zoo.

140 meters away. From where it left. So that's not a big surprise. It didn't get far. No. What's amazing is this tortoise is the giant tortoise. You don't get much bigger than these tortoises. These are those land ones that you can virtually ride.

So how the hell it went missing for two weeks. And it was in that vicinity the whole time. It says more about the zookeepers looking for it than it does about his escaping abilities. That's amazing. So it's like one of those big Galepagos ones. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. It's called an Aldebra giant tortoise.

So it goes for about in length it can get up to a meter. So that's about three feet. So that's like half of me. Goes very tall. And this was in Japan. And they couldn't find it for two weeks. So they put out a reward of 500,000 yen. Which in British pounds is like 3,500.

Don't know what that is in New Zealand. Yeah. And it was eventually found by a kid who just found it in some bushes. But yeah, his escape plan didn't quite go so well. But I love it. Two weeks. What a distance. That's amazing. And also it just goes to show how hidden animals can be. Which fits in perfectly with our show.

I'm just going to pause there because I can't hear anything out of my headphones. It's like I'm just wearing earmuffs. I can hear Dan. That's good. But I can't hear me. That's what the headphones are for. Oh, okay. I think I'll have one on and one off.

He's going to fall half temple mode. He's got like, he's very confused. No, it was good when I was listening to Dan. I thought, oh yeah, this is normal. And then when I spoke, this is when I spoke in my ears I heard I was like, that's not right. Where's my voice gone? And so I've done some adjustments in my voices now.

You can hear yourself now. That's good. Can you hear me? I can hear you. Yes. I've got the muffed one, which is only good for Dan. Isn't it interesting that animals, even that big, can go missing. Can hide themselves. I mean, it's nature.

You know, if you're not looking for something, you won't find it. That's one of my quotes. And even if you are looking for someone or something, you may not find it. That's a follow up quote from the last one that came out a couple years later when I didn't find the thing I was looking for. But I then started looking for it.

Anyway, it's a long story. It's all in my new book. I still haven't found what I'm looking for. And it's not based on the U2 song. So don't listen to what the critics are saying. It comes out in paperback next week. Or does it? You won't find it. You can look for it, but you won't find it.

Oh, my God, you know the best thing of this. Have you got your phone? I've got to take a photo, because I can't take you seriously with your half-muffed face. We're going to put this on Facebook, because listen, you guys don't understand what I'm having to look at right now. It's very hard to be a serious crypto zoologist

when you're having to look at this. Okay, this is... You've got your phone on a countdown. Oh, yeah. That's my new phone. It takes eight seconds to take every photo. Eight seconds. That is going to be useless if you see a crooked animal. It's gone.

I generally find it takes eight seconds for people to sort their face out. Oh, that's fair enough. Yeah, or their look. Okay, here we go. So I let people know I'm taking a photo probably a few seconds before I get my camera out. Yeah, great.

You got it? Yeah, that's amazing. I'm not going to be able to look at you for the rest of the... Well, at least I can hear myself and you and Dan. Okay, it's good. All right, so... And this is interesting, just moving along from...

On the same wheel housing as missing animals, which, of course, are cryptids. One of the greatest animals that manages to hide from us is the moose. They say that despite its size, you could not see a moose in a field for up to eight minutes.

I said another quote. I said another one of me. He got it, he got it. It's in my book. I wasn't going to reveal that, but that's chapter three. Man. This is in me,

which is the great chapter. There's some drawings in there. No. This is... Is it a bestseller yet? Because, my God, it should be. No, but I say that because I have some news here of a...

Well, actually, can I just say... Do you mind if I do my news first because I'm on 4% on my... Yes, quickly! Do yours, do yours. We'll come back to my moose update. Okay. Okay, my new...

What happens when you go, Leon? Do Rhys and I stay on? I don't know. This is a thing. Well, no, maybe we might be able to still get you through Rhys's laptop. We might have to dial you back in. We'll sort something out.

Well, but... 3% I'm feeling the pressure here. Okay, this is some news from Massachusetts in America. Man encounters tiny humanoid. He says it was tinkering with my clock. Okay. Yeah. So, a Massachusetts man claims he's had

a close encounter of the fifth kind with an alien. He says that he was in bed when he heard his dog crying. Wait, hang on. What does a dog crying sound like? Oh, I like... Yeah.

That kind of thing. Yeah, like a dog. Yeah, that was perfect. That's amazing. He nailed it. What's the fifth kind? Well, that's what it says in the... That's what it says in the...

So we don't know the story. The third kind is just alien, right? Fourth kind. Yeah. Fourth kind. No, fourth kind. That's contact. Yeah, is that when you contact?

The fifth kind is when you've been taken out. Right. Oh, yeah. And probed. Well, what have you done? Well, not necessarily probed, but certainly brought on board this ship and you've had dealings.

You're definitely going to get probed if you've gone on the ship. I don't think that's a guarantee. Wow, that's what they take you on the ship for. Always. If you feel like you're going to be taken out by aliens, make sure you have your butt plugged. That's just...

That's why I... I won't go there. Maybe it's like when you go up when you're trying to get a plane and you have to go through the immigration. Like the... You know, you've got to take all your keys out your pockets and stuff like that.

Maybe they've got that when you're boarding on an alien spacecraft and it's merely just checking out for drugs, maybe. Any smuggling going on. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's what it is. That's...

Yeah, that's not really a... I mean, it's a probing for security. It's a very stringent security. It's like... We just have to check every cavity. You know what? Just leave those keys in your pockets. That's fine.

Just leave those pants down. What about my hat? No, just leave that on, mate. Just make sure those chow come down. You don't sound very alien. Yeah, I've been working with these guys for a while now. This is...

This is... This is no early encounter for me. This is like the fifth time. What? We have... We have fifth times all the day. All the day long. Okay, so anyway,

this guy in Massachusetts, he says his dog was hiding under his bed. And he said that that was really unusual. He normally, if there's something in the house, this dog is out barking and going mental. But he said he got out of bed to go and have a look around because this dog was freaking out so much.

Dog stayed under the bed, didn't follow him. That's not normal, he says for his dog. Then he said that he went downstairs to investigate where he encountered a little purple-grayish being tempering with his kitchen clock. Wow! He describes the alleged creature as three-foot tall and kind of human-like.

He was standing on my kitchen countertop, touching the clock on my wall. The reported alien, he explains, looked like he was putting the clock back on the wall. Then he continued. The little creature came over, grabbed him by the hand. He said he walked me down into my cellar down the stairs. He didn't say a word.

I remember everything. And then up until when I was going down the stairs, and everything went black, and he forgot everything else. Wow! He says the man says that he told his family, they don't believe him, they say he was dreaming, but he adds his mother and her friend had previously claimed

to have seen some kind of weird craft in the back of their house some years ago. What? Yeah. Wow! So, do you think that's real, or do you think that's a very realistic dream? Well, I don't know.

You know how sometimes you have a dream and you think it felt so real, but you definitely knew it was a dream. You go, wow, I've woke up with all the emotions that my child was heard. It's a nightmare and you wake up and you're kind of almost sweating, and you're almost totally anxious

but relieved that it was a dream, but you still knew it was a dream. If this guy is saying it was, you know, like your dog Whimpering, you remember so much detail that I don't think you could remember in a dream. Yeah, but there are different versions of dreams. Some dreams are way more detailed than others,

and that sounds good to me. Oh, it does? Yeah, I don't know what you've done there. You've done an adjustment, have you? Yeah, I just did a little adjustment. Okay, nice. So, I think, you know, sometimes... Can you now put your headphones on properly?

I can't look at you. Okay, is that better? Oh, it's so much better. You look normal. So, I can hear myself over there. That's okay now. So, sorry, everyone. Minor adjustments.

2%. You know, there's that weird area between dreams. We're between consciousness and sleep, where... You are right now. Why is this really happening? And you can... And I think that is...

Yeah, and I call that my jabberwocky. Oh, good. You sometimes wake up and tell Rosie, oh, I've had a jabberwocky again, honey. I tell myself when I'm in jabberwocky mode, because I can tell that these things aren't supposed to be happening. I'm thinking about things that are really random.

You know, that when you're just drifting off? Yeah. Yeah. And details there are quite, quite real. But, you know, I'd have to take you to jabberwocky. Please take me there. I really want to go to jabberwocky. Thank you with me.

We all have to hold hands. So, where did this guy wake up? Was he down in his cellar? Or was he in his bed? It doesn't give that detail, which is that's a really good question. It's a very, very good question. If I knew how to get hold of him,

I would definitely ask him. But what do you think? OK, let's say it is real. What would an alien want to be doing with a clock? Was he putting a little camera in there? Yeah. I mean, these are the things that make me think that it's a dream, because it's nonsensical.

I mean, why would an alien be adjusting some dude's clock? They like savings. They like savings aliens. They like to see and trick him. Trick that guy. What for? Just honestly, trick him, make the dog cry. Is it there are other things

we should be doing with the universe? No, just go and trick that guy. It's just a justice clock, slightly. Make it three minutes earlier than he thinks it is. Why? Why, oh Lord? Because we're having a funny day today. Oh Lord.

Anyway, so I just thought it was a lovely story that this alien just gently took him down the stairs after adjusting his clock for him. Yeah, nothing untoward happened there. We are now on 0%, so we should probably move on to Reese's... Great stories, guys. Definitely a mystery.

Talking about mysteries, there's some mysterious doors that are appearing across Nova Scotia. Yes, the freestanding doors have turned up in several towns, leaving local residents scratching their heads. So these doors are just appearing. It's weird.

There he goes. Hang on, there he goes. Have you still got Dan? Hey, can you hear me? Hey, we've got him. We've just swapped over systems. We've just got to turn that volume down a little bit. I'm out of laptop battery power now,

so unfortunately, I'm going to have to recount my crypto news when we get to it from the top of my head after reading it in the shower this morning. Right. So, but if we could just edit back into the story I was talking about. Oh, are you talking?

Can you stop from the top, because I've completely forgotten. Mysterious doors. Yeah, mysterious doors popping up in Nova Scotia. So these doors basically, they vary in size and color, and they're set up in various spots around town

and with no clue given as to what they're for. A red door popped up outside the farmer's market on Prince Street, a green door popped up in Victoria Park, another one on the main street and a blue one in the Truro Mall. So, no one knows why. It's obviously some sort of something's going on.

Mysterious doors. No one's seeing them being put in, but there's a lot of buzz in the town and obviously they think there's some sort of marketing campaign happening. What have we got here? I just heard that you're supposed to take pictures of them and take one, post it online,

and then in a few days it will be revealed what they're for. That's a bit dodgy though, isn't it? You get like, take photos of them and then you find out what they're for, what happens if it's for some kind of militia group or something and you've just joined them. But also, it's great in all,

but it's a door with great big hunky bits of wood, holding it up. You think they would have been able to find a more artistic and lovely way to actually put them there without, so it's just a door, but you can see all the supporting structure. It's like looking at a badly made set. It doesn't, you know, it sort of loses its other dimension.

So I thought, oh man, imagine if it looked like you opened it and went through into a different world, but it's got great big bits of wood holding it up. Yeah, there's a shonky element to the door there that we can see in the picture here. I agree, it would be better if they were sort of standing still without any support or they had some sort of heavy base on the bottom of it.

But you know, that's more expensive to make. This is the cheapest way to do it. Anyway, mystery doors. That's mystery doors. I can't see any knobs on them. But I want, yeah, no knobs. You know, apart from those that put them up. But I'm sure we'll find out why,

but I wanted to now go through the doors into the realms of the bizarre. And we were talking earlier about these, about large creatures that can still remain hidden. And the turtle is a big, big, it's a turtle. It's a big turtle. It's an example, a big example of that. And then I talked about moose.

And I'd like to draw your attention now to this rare white spirit moose, which has been filmed in Sweden, guys. And this was a beautiful, and you can find this, the article I'm looking at here is on Science Alert. Wow. And there's been some footage of this amazing creature.

I'll play it now. Wow, that is beautiful. Look at it. Like a pure white moose, including even the antlers, are all 100% white. It's like albino. It's really remarkable. Oh, okay, nice.

Oh, wow. Scandinavia is obviously full of moose. Most of them are dark brown, of course. But white ones do form a small part of the population, but very rare to see such. And, you know, just kept captured on film like this. Remarkable that even the antlers are white. It's amazing.

It's a beautiful animal. I've certainly never ever seen or even heard of one before. I know. It looks like a sort of plasticine that's not yet been coloured moose colour yet. You know what you sort of buy? Yeah. You buy the model and you've got to paint it.

It's the clay original. It is. This is like paint your own moose. Your own moose, just roaming, plating. This is like a little kid's fantasy, like having a moose with a set of Crayola crayons. You know, there's been a mystery, just speaking of animals with mysterious colours.

In India, very recently in Mumbai, they've been dealing with this sort of plague of blue dogs that have been running out, these bright blue dogs that they've been, for ages, been trying to work out what they are. And they've only just worked it out, which is that these dogs go swimming in this bit of river and they're being tinted by the industrial waste

that's being poured into this river. So they're going for a swim and they're coming out completely blue like they've been to a salon that does a cookie monster hipster stuff. But for a while they had no idea. It's just these blue dogs were in town. That's freaky.

Yeah, a lot of animal mystery colours in the news this week. But this moose is astonishing. Yeah. And so there's probably, they reckon, between 50 and 100 of the white ones and a population of 400,000. And this is the amazing thing with these encrypted animals. I still can't imagine that people could even doubt

the fact that there are animals out there, large animals. Yeah. Well, that's the point. I was coming to with these large animals being able to remain hidden. And the turtle is like, I mean, gosh, how could you not see a turtle? And then, of course, you look at the mountain gorillas

and they remained hidden for a long time until they were discovered. And so that's, for any doubters out there, that's why big animals, doesn't matter about the size, can remain hidden and do so. That's pretty amazing. Now we need to talk about this Nazca...

I love Nazca. Nazca tomb shock claim about these dead alien, the dead alien baby found in the Peru crypt. Oh, now I heard about this. This is pretty freaky, right? Yes, a test has been carried out on an alleged mummified alien baby supposedly found in a tomb in Peru.

You can see these articles on the internet here. Researchers investigating the reported discovery of several alleged mummified aliens took samples from what they claim as an infant being tested for DNA and carbon dating. And basically, it's this... this... We've lost him.

No, he's run out. He's run out again. He's up the tightrope. The tightrope's ended. He's... He's not... Oh, back on! He's back!

He's back! Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Now, the three-fingered creature, okay, this creature, you can see it here. If you look it up, I'm on the Express.co.uk site here, but there's plenty of sites that are covering this investigation.

Three-fingered creature, okay? Also, X-rayed. It will go under... It will undergo CAT scans. And they... They believe that it's... Yeah, that it's not from our world. And it was found in a tomb where humans were found as well.

Is it? Because I'm looking at it here. It looks like an emancipated human. It looks like, like, literally skin and bones. Yeah. And... But there's definitely three fingers. There's just three big fingers.

It's not like it's a hand that has... That parts have been broken off. I mean, it's clearly a mummy, but it's a wonderfully preserved mummified body. And that hand actually has... Like, it looks like it is made with three fingers. I mean, is it just a... It has its fingers, eh?

Huge, old fingers. Now, the thing is, is that many u-ethologists believe that this is a massive hoax, obviously. So this is the big debate. Gaia.com, which is G-A-I-A.com, is the organisation that's promoting this. They're behind the investigation. And they're trying to tell us all that this is real.

So, you know, this is an ongoing thing. They haven't released the results yet. So all we're left with is to ponder and have a look at this thing, which also looks like plaster of Paris, doesn't it? Looks like it's ready to be coloured in. Yeah. It does.

It's like a mousse, but for aliens. Colour in your own alien. It's the same company that made the mousse. This company didn't also have a whole bunch of spare coloured doors that they wanted to leave around the place today. Is there somebody like a promo company that's dumping all of their props? Well, yeah.

All the colour that was needed for the mousse and the alien has gone into the doors. They blew their colour load too early. So this website, I was talking about Gaia.com, they've released a video about the baby that was found in the tomb in a face-down foetal position and insists a genuine investigation is underway.

Despite scientists rounding on the online paranormal site amid claims it is pushing a massive elaborate hoax. The latest disclosure came after scientists and the Peruvian World Congress on mummy studies released statements saying they believed the creature were hoaxes that had been made using real human remains

before demanding an official enquiry as to whether there were any archaeological crimes being committed. So it was a big hoo-ha. If it isn't real and it is, human remains put together using plaster of Paris and the white pre-paint kit, then there's going to be a lot of questions answered.

They're going to be Gaia.com's going to be taken to court by the Peruvian Institute of Mummies and that would be a really good case to watch. That would be a great case to watch. But anyway... What is Gaia.com? We should go and see what Gaia... They pop up in my Facebook feed all the time

wanting me to join them. Join their gang, but you've got to pay. It's about ancient aliens and the idea that we don't know half of what's been happening in the world and that we aren't told the entire truth. It's fascinating stuff

and you can either jump on board or keep scrolling. So, you know, it's up to the individual. But, you know, I'm into that kind of stuff, but I haven't... I mean, I think for me, this will be the proof in the pudding. So if this comes out to be true,

or even if it turns out to be true, then I'll jump on board. Really? What? If they've uncovered the first ever alien life, the first proof of existence of life in our universe, you'll subscribe for her a month. Yes!

I'll send them my $5. Yes, I will... I'll certainly contact them and find out if you get a newsletter. What are we going to do to get Reese Darwin to sign up to our website? Discover Alien Life. We've got a...

What's going on now? A lot of the issues here are my computer, I think. It is like now we've got French music in the background. We can't stop it. Hello! Remember when we discovered the alien? Well, here we are in Zittum. I have no idea what's going on.

I can't stop it. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. I mean, I was just... I was just doing some modeling. I was just getting ready to paint my moose. Here we go. We get a lot of leads here at Gaia regarding new discoveries or investigations,

but one particularly interesting lead came to us from a journalist named Jaime Muson. He got word of some mummies in Peru that didn't look human. It was prepared mummy. The size of this humanoid was 168 cm. It means that this was a person who was walking as we do,

who was able to move hands as we have with long legs, so proportion of the body was very similar to ours. It is absolutely authentic hand with three long fingers, very long. The three fingers is a characteristic that makes it unique and unforgettable, and that is what exactly makes us think

that this does not belong to a human species. No way that it is some deformity of human body. It is absolutely different structure of all skeleton, and it belongs to another creature, another humanoid. Wow, so what do you think of that? That's amazing, I have no idea.

And I stick to my decision. If this turns out to be true, I will join Gaia.com. Okay, we hold you to that. We've got you saying that. Is that a pledge? Is that an oath? Well, I mean, if they're listening, you better make this hoax bloody good.

I better believe it! Or better still, actually, make it real. Maybe you don't need to because it is. So, up to you, there are a few decisions to make. Three options, you've got three options. Make it a good hoax, believe your own hoax, or it actually be real.

I hope they have a team meeting now where they go, okay, Ruth has given us three options. It's on the agenda for this meeting. Now, if they want me to be involved in some of their videos, it's up to them, but I'll need to see the ideas that they've got. You know, I'm not just going to sign up willy-nilly and then be sent to some weird tomb.

Because that's what will happen. We all know there's a storm, not only brewing, but it's happening. Hurricane Harvey right now, so when this podcast comes out, hopefully major, major destruction hasn't happened, but what is happening right now in the United States with this hurricane

sweeping through Texas, is that, you know, a lot of people, obviously, evacuating, it's quite nightmarish. We've got a lot of confused alligators just turning up on people's doorsteps because of the storm. Yes, people are opening the doors and there's alligators. Look at that picture there.

Don't open your door, people! Oh, my God, that's amazing. Because of what's happening with the weather, and this must happen quite a bit. You know, the amount of rainfall, they reckon it was like almost a meter's worth of rainfall, like a year's worth in, like, three or four hours. So, you know, creatures are getting displaced,

and it's quite scary. So, gators have been spotted roaming around people's driveways, hiding under cars, even popping up on people's doorsteps. So they just recommend, yeah. I see your story saying there that they're disorientated. How do they not know that they're actually just going, at last, we can go and get all the humans, and they're making the most of this rainfall,

and they're going, we've been waiting for this day when we can actually swim up and go and hide under cars. Knock on people's doorsteps. Look at that one! There's an actual alligator at somebody's back door. That's amazing. Someone's at the door. I'll open it.

Holy! What the? Hey, have you thought about joining the Mormons? What? There's a crocodile Mormon at the door! Ah, no! Tell him no! We're not interested! Sorry, mate, we're not... Oh, come on! Please! Come on, join the crocodile Mormons. They surrounded him with three small logs.

They've trapped him with the three logs. Look at that one. It sounds like a pretty intense storm. It's on the way here. I heard that one person has died already. It's pretty full on. I don't know whether or not that was involved. Alligators were involved. I don't think so.

But it is pretty full on. But imagine that you're trying to survive this crazy storm. I saw some video footage of the wind coming in, and the water was just insane. And so you're scared of that. You're scared of your house flooding. And now, to boot, you're scared of alligators under your catalogue. There's a great photo there, which we'll put on the Facebook. You're right.

This is like Sharknado. It is like Sharknado. It is. I mean, you know, it's terrifying. It's absolutely bizarre that this kind of stuff happens. It must happen in many storms. But this is the first I've heard about this. These kind of things are sweeping up. And, you know, you've got to feel for the...

You don't have to feel that much for them, because they're going to outlive us. But, you know, these giant creatures who have been around since the dinosaur days, who are now... You know, they need to get back to their habitats. He doesn't look comfortable there on the doorstep. They never talk about how many animals are killed during storms, you know?

Yeah. It's such a massive displacement for birds, because you imagine all of their nests up in the tree that they've spent weeks and weeks building. Yeah. The only thing is that animals can usually sense things happening way before they happen, way before we do. And so they...

So they could move their nest. But they just up their nest, move their nest away. They don't move their nest. No, they create new ones. I always got told by someone at work that we obviously don't know how earthquakes occur. We've got no great way of predicting them. But this is according to... My friend was telling me this is according to a scientist.

They say that if you look in the newspapers and you see missing cat, has anyone seen my cat, any adverts missing cats, there should be an earthquake on the way, because cats have a sense of earthquakes and they just run off to safer territories. Yeah. Hey, I've got another weird news story here. Okay.

This is the headline, feces elementary school to change name after 55 years. What? Oh, nice. Feces, as it's spelled, feces. No, so this is a school in Korea and the school is called Daebyeon elementary school. Daebyeon means feces in Korean.

Oh, come on. So it's known as poop school in Korea. And for 55 years, they've just had to put up with the name. Oh, man. And as of this year, they've signed a petition. Over 4,000 signatures were signed. And the school is now going to be changing its name. So it will no longer be feces elementary.

Oh, my God. You know what? That is such good news for them, because do you remember into school sports day? Yes. And imagine that. Imagine being part of feces school and turning up. And you were just the... Pardon the pun, but the shit that you would have to cop.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Being from feces school from the other... I can't believe it's gone this long. That's crazy. Yeah, well, and they're not allowed to officially change it until March of next year. So they're still going to be feces school for a good few... What do you change your name to when you come from feces?

I remember there's those cars that everybody would say that, you know, there was the Pajero, which was a Mitsubishi four-wheel drive. And it may be urban myths. We can probably have searched it up, but apparently Pajero meant masturbation in some language, Spanish or something like that. Oh, really?

And that's what brought on the term wanker wagon. Oh, well, this is all news to me. What circles have you been talking in? I'm talking about a part of a few user groups and, you know, a few little check groups where we talk about this stuff. Oh, yeah. The fun you have.

I've got some more stories or some more. Best name of the week, by the way, in the news that I found this week. There's been a published scientific paper on why horses have one toe. Oh, yeah? They used to have more, but they have one toe now. So it's a big paper.

It's a new theory. They're still putting it forward as a theory. The lead researcher of the paper, her name is Brianna McHorse. No! No, that can't be. McHorse is her surname. MC Horse.

McHorse. McHorse. Of course, McHorse. That is bizarre. See, this is, you know, she was obviously meant to get that story. Yeah. Her whole life has been leading to this.

Yeah. That is amazing. But I always thought horses had hooves. So can you explain the one-toe situation? What are the horses like in the UK? Yeah, the hoove is the toe. It's just the one-toe. Do you know that's a freaky image in my head

with horses with, like, five toes, like, with feet? That is a really weird thought. Oh, yeah. That kind of freaks me out a bit. It's creepy. Oh, what you mean if you gave them human feet instead of what they have?

Yeah, just big toes, you know? Imagine going out and clipping your horses' toe nails, you know, like, filing them down. I mean, you do it with the one big toe, but if you're doing it to five of them, or more or more. No, here's the thing. We're talking about freaky horse toes,

and I want to bring your guys' attention to this demon goat that's come up in the news recently. Do you know about this with the human face? What? Yeah, so a bizarre mutant goat with human-like facial features has literally left the internet astonished.

I'm surprised you haven't seen this. Footage of the odd animal has swept the web after the creature was discovered in an Indian village. So it appears to have the facial structure of a human thanks to its delicate nose and lips, which appear to be bent upwards, forming sort of a pout on its face. So you can look it up here.

The pictures obviously went crazy on the internet. There's a clip, there's a video clip, and it's racked up tens of thousands of views. We're going to watch this. Yeah, so I'm going to play this. Here we go here. Let's have a look at this goat. There it is.

Oh, wow. Look at it. Look at that face. Oh, my God. Does that look like a human to you? A little bit, eh? Oh, yes it does. I've got to tell you,

when I've looked at this earlier, I thought there's a bit of Sandy Davis Junior in that face. No, Gina, what it is, it's an orc. You think of an orc. Oh, yeah. Can you look at that? No, I think he looks like the,

you know, what's the news, the first Star Wars? Force Awakens. Force Awakens. You know, Emperor Snood, that big guy who's up on the chair. That evil guy? That's his face.

Oh, that's freaking me out. It's literally making me my little, ah! Oh, I can't look at that. No, because it's evil. No, that's not good. Button's is freaking out. You can't, ah!

It makes me feel... I think it looks a little bit like Jason Statham. Jason Statham? I hope Jason doesn't listen to this podcast. He's not going to be very friendly to you. It's an ugly Jason Statham. One more look at it. I mean, I see what you're saying, like,

ah, it's weirding me out. Button's is freaked out. Oh, I can't look at it. It's going to get me, how are you going to be when we go out to the field and find these creatures? Oh, look at its ears. Oh, it's big tongue.

Ah! Nice big tongue. So anyway... Oh, that is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. It's scary. There it is. It is doing weird things to my brain. That's the human goat face.

What do you think that is? Because I've seen, you know, you see the odd goat or the odd sheep that comes out. Yeah. You know, that's dead on birth. Yes. That has human facial features and everybody frees.

And this one's managed to survive. And it looks like it's... I don't know how old it looks there, but it's... It unfortunately leads you to think really terrible things, doesn't it, about... Of course it does. Into breeding of humans with animals.

Of course. And, you know, and then... Ah! But no one's really got the answers. I think it's the kind of thing that needs to be... You have to look at this video. If you're listening to this podcast, I implore you to hit pause for a second

and go and have a look at this video. Just type in demon goat terrifies villages. Yeah. It's on the New Zealand Herald website, but it'll be everywhere because it's... What did you say? It's literally taken... Well, you read the...

It's literally left the internet astonished. A computer network has literally been left astonished. But to be fair, I don't blame them because it's freaky. It is so freaky. Okay. So, have a look at it. Think about what... What?

Think about... Don't think about... Don't think about what happened. What celebrity you think it looks like. Oh, yeah. Think about that. And then go from there. But, you know, that's definitely encrypted.

Oh, that's a great piece of news. I haven't felt that freaked out in a long time. Does that not freak you out? Dan, you're just sitting there all calm and collected. No. Why am I... I was just trying to think who else I thought it looked like. And I thought Sammy Davis Jr.

as Rhys said, went a bit under the radar, but it was a pretty good shout. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sammy Davis Jr. Put my question piece. That's a horrible thing. But then I said Jason Statham, because you have another look at it,

and it's somewhere around the eyes. Yeah, okay. I won't have another look at it. Thank you. I normally got a very strong stomach for that sort of thing, but, like, not... Wow, that's the weirdest. That's kind of ruined my Sunday, to be honest.

All right. Well, I think we need to wrap things up here. How much time have we got? No, I didn't get to the cryptozoology. Well, we've got cryptid. We haven't done any cryptid news. Oh! All right, Dan, where you going?

No time for cryptozoology, and now cryptoshow this week. Sorry, guys. That was cryptozoology right there. What kind? Yeah, it is. And the displaced... Well, is it cryptozoology?

Because it's now been found, and they can do scientific tests on it. That's a good question. Is Bigfoot still a cryptid once he's found? No. He's found, though. Yeah. So, was the demon goat cryptid news?

Well, because it looks like a cryptid, and it's definitely from another realm. So, it fits into my... fits into my description. Oh, there you go. Well, you might have to find another piece of news, to be honest, because that's, you know... Okay, well, Dan, you do some...

We'll just do the cryptid buzz. Cryptid buzz hosting. Here we go. Attention, all personnel, it's time for this week's cryptid... Help me! Okay. Go.

Okay, so, this is news from England. A place called Huddersfield, and Huddersfield, on a golf course, two golfers reported seeing a big black panther. One of the big mystery cats of England. This was just this month. Two business partners, Mark Robinson and Paul Shepard, spotted the beast as they approached the 15th tee

at the Fix B course, at the golf course, in this August. And what they saw was a giant looking panther-like character, size of a dog. They thought it was about 60 to 70 yards away, and they took a picture of it. I'll share my screen, so that you can see it. Oh, look at that!

Yeah, so that's not it. Oh, is that... That's not it either. Oh, so they got some footage of it. That is definitely not a pussycat. That is huge. So that's that there, and then this is the further away shot.

Oh, my God. So you can see it against a tree, which is very big. That's a big boy. Yeah, that's either a very small tree or a very big cat. Yeah, so they mentioned it to the golf club owners, took it to an actual meeting. They took it to one of their weekly meetings,

and it was on the agenda to talk about this mystery big cat. And it happens to come in a site in Huddersfield, where in other locations, names like New Mill, Heydedge, Penis Stone, or Penis Stone. Sorry, what was that last one?

Penis Stone, Penis Stone? I'm going to say Penis Stone. It's P-N-I-S-T-O-N-E. It's a place in England, apparently. Is there an elementary school there? They could be sister schools, where feces and Penis Stone. Penis Stone High.

Yeah. Oh, man. All these places are 40 miles distance from each other that have claimed to have had big planter sightings in the past. So, this is in the radius of the place where big cats have been seen before. And Huddersfield has been in the news

quite a lot. When I was looking up Huddersfield, generally, it seems like weird things go on there a lot. Earlier this month, a man was videoed walking a banana down the street. He just had a... A banana on the end of his... Yeah, he just had a banana on the end of a leash,

walking his banana. And the Tolson Museum has also done a monsters exhibition this year. This month, rather. Which shows monsters of the sea. So, they're obviously into their... Into their sort of mysterious kind of stuff. And maybe because mysterious things happen around there.

I don't know too much about Huddersfield. But yeah, so this golf course, they've seen this cat. I want to know what happened at the meeting, because surely that would have been really quite a challenge for people who may not have as open minds as us three do. Sitting there kind of going, ah, that's bullshit. I don't imagine an average everyday golfing professional businessman

listens to our podcast and wonders about the weird world. I shouldn't judge, but it doesn't seem like a group of golf club people would be the type that would invite us along to talk about strange animals. Now, knowing that we have golf playing in the background on the television. We love golf, don't we guys?

That's all part of the zeitgeist. See, it was meant to happen. See, there was something in the air. And it was the TV playing golf. Which led us to this story of this alien big cat. So, I mean, these things get spotted more and more. It's going to be quite frequent now in the UK. A month doesn't go past without someone sending a big cat. At what point does it only, I guess, one has to be captured

to be able to actually prove it? But that is as good as proof as any two businessmen. I mean, it's a very convincing photo to me. I don't know what that could be. You can see the head shape. You can see the ears. You can see a tail. I just don't know what else. And you can see the perspective against a tree.

It's ginormous. Dogs don't really have ears like that. No. No. And we all know that upper class golfing businessmen are the most trusting and believable people in the world. Oh, they're definitely up there. Yeah, like, you know, why would they want to make up? Like, I mean, you know, they don't want to be famous for seeing a big cat, do they?

No, and neither do they want one roaming around their golf courses. But luckily, again, you know, there hasn't been any anyone hurt, you know, no one's reported. No, not yet. Not that we know. No one's been eaten. Not that we know. They see these things. Obviously, these cats are managing to survive

off smaller animals that there are, no doubt, hunting in the middle of the night and doing what cats do. Probably taking down foxes and... It's given me a great idea, though. You know, the old mini-putt golf course where you've got to get the ball through the, you know, the windmill and, you know, down the little... Yes, my favourite. I love mini-golf.

Mini-golf. Well, why isn't exactly this concept applied to grown-up golf, big golf? Big boys golf? Big boys golf, where it's actually death-defying. Like, there's Black Panthers wandering around. There's, like, a massive steamroller just barreling down the huddle. So, basically, it's almost like life and death golf. Oh, I see.

So, every hole, there's something that's going to... I can giant mini-golf. ...could kill you. Yeah. But it's like, you know... You never know what's going to happen. Maybe there's a sinkhole on the fourth green. Yes.

And all of a sudden, the earth gives way. And you see your mate fall down. Ah! Oh, no, he's fallen into the sinkhole! You know. Can I keep your clubs? Yeah. Did you guys see, by any chance, did you see the footage of the sinkhole that opened up in China?

Oh, yes, yes. The scooter. That was very funny. With the scooter? Yeah. Amazing. Why didn't you tell me? You can't just...

Pull that one up. There's a video that comes... Yeah, yeah, it's worth watching. I'll find it. Yeah. Okay. You explain it. By the way, I've just gone to Peniston's Wikipedia page.

Oh, yeah. And it's pronounced pen is tan. Ah. Good. Yes, good. Course it is. Course it is. At the inter-school sports day,

I'm sure they don't call them the penistones. The other schools will be like, ah, there's the peniston school. Yeah. Here we go. Here's a video of the scooter plunging into a sinkhole, which was on the internet very recently. Whoa, is that the sinkhole starting?

Look at it. Oh! There it goes. And now here comes the scooter. See you, mate! Oh, Trayden. And I like the casual guy walking along the crossing. Oh, okay.

Listeners, we give you the permission to pause the podcast and go and have a look at this because this is fantastic. But they say the reason that he went into it was because he was on his phone. He was texting on his phone. And he didn't notice the sinkhole. I was going to say it's weird because the sinkhole happens.

It's an amazing piece of footage. Sinkhole happens. And a good couple of minutes later, this... Not even a minute. It's like 10 seconds. Well, look, there's a timeline. See, it is there. Oh, it's there?

Yeah, you look. We go again. Oh, there's an editing. They've edited it. So it's clearly been there for a wee little while. The lighting changes in everything. Oh, okay. And then that...

Look, here you go. Watch, here we go. Oh, yes. And then the van turns up. Yes, yes, yes. It's not like it just appeared and he... He must have been on his phone. There you go, people.

Because you wouldn't expect a big hole. But you know, there's been one in my neighbourhood in LA, a sinkhole. Really? Yeah, recently. Wow. These things are happening more and more. They are, yeah.

And I think it's just, you know, it's global warming. It's the... It's the end of the world, all that kind of stuff. Yes. That's something. It's weird. Yeah, that is amazing.

Depleting the earth of all its oil and stuff. Maybe they need the lubrication to stay firm. We're just drying it up, so they're just crumbling underneath. We should clarify that the last part of the footage of the sinkhole is the guy with the scooter having lifted his scooter out of the sinkhole. And he's fine.

He survives. He's fine, yeah. Which is amazing that he's fine. That's a hell of a fall. But it's a classic comedy piece of footage. I mean, like, you could have that in a movie, and it'd be hilarious. It's like an Adam Sandler kind of moment,

movie moment. And the best thing is this, which is clearly a security camera, is perfectly framed on the whole. And the footage of the whole sinking, the actual road falling away is just awesome. It's like, you know, it's quite neat to see it actually happen. They reckon the major reason for sinkholes

is actually leaking sewage pipes or water pipes. And they're sort of liquefying. Yeah, they're liquefying. And that's why they quite often happen under roads, under building sites. I mean, there's also natural ones where there's, you know, underground waterways, which are falling away.

But why they happen so often in towns and under roads is that if there's a small leak, even the smallest leak in a water pipe, that small leak just starts liquefying all of the dirt. The dirt just starts washing away. And it basically just leaves a massive cavity under something like a road or a house. And they are, I mean, terrifying.

They're very scary. I mean, because they can happen at any moment, and you could be driving along. With no tail. And all of a sudden the earth gives way. Yeah. Freaky, freaky. Freaky.

Now, there was... I've just clicked on to Crypto Mundo here because I like the Lizard Man stuff. And there was some worries that during the eclipse, that Lizard Man was going to return. Yeah, amid the solar eclipse's hype, which of course brought millions of visitors and people...

A lot of people in planes chasing it for as long as they could up in the sky, which is pretty out of it. Really? Yeah. You could book flights that would fly along with the solar eclipse. Yeah, yeah. You could get seven minutes worth of solar eclipse

as opposed to two minutes 40 or whatever it was. If you flew in a jet, which you could do, it's pretty amazing. Well, they believed there was going to be a lot of paranormal activity during that time. And I think it's just because of the weirdness of the whole eclipse and what it's done. And so they thought that Lizard Man would come back.

Yes, there's a map here. This historical map is in response to recent media reports about possible paranormal activity associated with the upcoming total eclipse. SCEMD, which is skimmed. Does not know if Lizard Men become more active during the solar eclipse, but we advise that residents of Lee and Sumter counties

should remain ever vigilant. So that was just a little... And there's a graphic that SCEMD put out. What does SCEMD stand for? I was hoping you could tell us. Did we get to that level? I don't think. I'm just trying to skim through. It's...

Yeah, anyway. There's been no reports of Lizard Man returning during the eclipse, but there was certainly some freaky stuff that happened, obviously, because it suddenly went dark and nature didn't know what to do. There was birds doing their different calls. There was a lot of flowers that were closing.

No way. It was real. It was so slow. Sorry, it went closed. It's so early. No, it went dark, so we've closed now. There's also a mystery that they've been trying to figure out for many, many years,

and it's the fact that it was noticed on one of the early solar eclipses that as soon as the sun was completely knocked out, the pendulums and stuff, and compasses started going a bit weird. They think that gravity suddenly got weaker, and the planet was going a bit... Every time there's a solar eclipse,

top scientists and Nobel Prize-winning scientists are trying to work out what's happening to gravity, because suddenly it just supposedly goes a bit weird. There's so many mysteries that happen, so maybe that freaks the animals out, for example, when gravity gets messed with. Did you guys see the Sasquatch map that got released for the eclipse as well?

No. What was that? Okay, so this was... I mean, it was done in sort of jest, but it was done by a NASA graphic designer who does a lot of graphics for NASA, and he wanted to plot where all the encounters of where people see Sasquatch are on a map of America where totality was going to be.

So you can see this online if you go to it, and the guy, his name... Ooh, I can't see his name now that I've shared the screen, but it's on Twitter, and you put SunSquatch, as he called it. Yeah, those are the top spots in America where you could see where big-foot sightings have been, which is very interesting to see

how many spots in America there have been big-foot sightings and it's huge. It's incredible. Yeah, so that strip is where the eclipse was travelling across America in the centre there. Wow. So Lizard Man and big-foot activity would have been along that strip. But there has been no reports.

No. Well... Nothing's come out yet. Not yet, not yet. My people will probably be looking up. That's a good point. It's too dark to see. It's the worst time to actually look for Sasquatch or Lizard Man because it's too dark and you're looking at the eclipse.

So please get out there and check them out, but maybe it's good for these cryptids. That's a really great time for them to actually come out because they won't be seen. And go, na, na, na, na, na, and then hide again. I don't know whether or not they would probably have caught up with all the advertisements and news reports that there was actually going to be a eclipse.

So they probably were sitting there like the birds going and the flowers going, what on earth's going on? Yeah. It's just a big confusing time for everybody. It is. Much like this podcast. Exactly. So my piece of crypto news is actually Lizard Man related as well.

Okay. So a woman in Northern California says she saw a shapeshifting reptilian humanoid. This is just recently this month. She says, we can only say she, because she's keeping her name anonymous, which is very clever. So she's sitting on her house's doorstep with her dog when this account took place.

Now, a few times over a period of a week, she saw a man walking up a sidewalk around 3 a.m., smoking a cigarette and holding it like Europeans do underneath their hands instead of smoking. But weird, she thought that's a bit weird because it's a very small town that she lives in. And it was weird to see a man walking at 3 a.m. So he was smoking with one hand

and had it holding his other arm behind his back. As he walked past, he nodded, and so did she back to him. She thought it was strange being so late at night and he walked around the corner and then he was gone. The woman said then she went on to say that it's a week later, she saw him again and they exchanged some words. He smiled and said very softly and meekly,

hello, and bowed his head. She returned the greeting, and it's a really small rural farm town. And so nobody's out at night, and so she could hear his hard-soled shoes making a clatter walking up the road past her house. That's in there. It's either that or somebody eating very crunchy cereal.

But seven days later, she says, things took a bit of a different turn. It's always exactly seven days later. Seven days, it's crazy. Not even took a turn, took a different turn. She heard the man walking by again at 3 a.m. For some reason, he's... Whilst he was walking in the gravel,

he walked into a bell. That's signifying it's 3 a.m. Setting the scene, I got it. This is really good. There's a foley artist in the room. That's amazing. She claims that when the man turned around and looked at her this time at 3 a.m.,

his face was like nothing she had seen before. He had a reptilian face. He was wearing a hooded jacket. We both stared at each other for about 10 seconds. The Californian described the humanoid as having a very scaly face with empty eye sockets. Instead of a regular mouth with lips and teeth, she had, he said, a small slit.

He had a brow ridge. The scales looked like those of a snake and had bluish colour to it. Also provided a sketch of the purported bean. So I am now going to show Dan and Rhys this amazing sketch that she has made. Oh, man. I love it.

How good is that? Wow. Man morphed into reptile being. That is freaky. Isn't that good? She ran out of blue pen before she got to reptile being. She morphed into, but you can't even see it run out.

So she said, it's not like the pen ran out of blue. It's two separate occasions. She started off with the blue pen and done the design. And then she's grabbed a black pen. Looks like. Maybe she's purposefully used both pens. No, but it's two different styles of writing.

The main man morphed into. Yes, you're right. Someone else has come on and actually finished it off. Maybe her partner or something. Or a 12-year-old kid, it looks like. It's very much a kid's writing. What, the reptile being?

No, that could be an adult. A bit of a sloppy adult. That's not very good at handwriting. I would say the sloppy. And actually, it's a third person's writing for no one. Oh, my God. There's a whole group of people assisting with this project.

So we've got reptile being. Probably first, what was written was man morphed into. But then why would you suddenly stop writing that and then grab another pen to grab another person to write reptile being? What happened to the person who wrote man morphed into? Did he suddenly die?

Wow, it's a conspiracy, isn't it? Reptilians are part of the government. They're part of the secret leaders of the world, aren't they? So obviously, she had spotted them and outed this reptile reptilian being. I've done the picture. I'm going to quickly write it.

Man morphed into. Quickly, that person was killed. And then another person came and said, all right, reptile being. A person who we can identify only as having the handwriting of a 12 year old. And then they were probably,

they were snuffed out as well. And in the end, someone's written no eyes. It's very, very confusing. That looks like my Auntie Jocelyn's writing. What was she doing in Northern California? She didn't even call you and say she was calling through.

She always writes in capitals, and she's been interested in this kind of thing. So there it is, but it looks great. It does look great. It's fantastic. Great. Great. All right. Brilliant. The classic cryptozoology news story is that one, isn't it?

It is. Yeah. All right. Well, good. Hey, one little update that I have to launch on you guys is we now, Cryptid Factor now has an online store.

Yeah. Go to here. You can go to it now. You go to the Cryptid Factor .com. What do we sell? Well, look, I'm going to show you. We're going to reveal it here on the

podcast. The Cryptid Factor. I've had my team working tirelessly making this little Shopify shop. Store? Is that very cool? No. The Cryptid Factor.com. Could we maybe sell some blue big pyro pens

just for anyone out there drawing? Yes. We're going to sell it on the scene so they've got enough ink. We're also going to sell the moose and mummy Crayola set. See if you've got a white moose or a white thing. Here we go. Look at this. Oh, look. Oh, wow.

So this is, if you... T-shirts? Yeah. Listeners, if you want to go to the Cryptid Factor.com. But look, there's your T-shirts. This is all based around an amazing logo that we've had right from the very start for eight years now with a wonderful artist called

Alex Drone made us this logo eight years ago. And look at it. It's still relevant today, isn't it? Oh, yeah. We don't need a rebrand. No, that's still very good. So let's go... That's so cool. Let's go look and have it. See, click on the side here. You click on all and look at these products. There's a

bath mat. Oh, you're kidding. Official bath mat. There's baby clothing? Yes. Oh, you're going to have to get that. I'm ordering that straight up. No, that's my... I was going to buy that for your present when Little Foot comes along. Oh, man. We got to choose what was

in the shop and I was like, we've got to have a little infant body suit. That's cute. That's so good. There's your iPhone, your classic hoodie, a laptop sleeve, which is pretty exciting. Oh, wow. There's long T-shirts, all that, which is all very good. A mug, I've bought

all the mugs. Look at the purple men's tank top. Yeah. Am I supposed to wear that? Yeah. Yeah, that's what I've bought you, one of those. And I've bought you... When I go to Venice Beach in the summer, that's tight purple tank top. Yes.

Oh, look. With a great big deadlerm on the front. Men are going to be all over me. Oh, that's what's the idea. All right. And then there's a mug. I've bought you both a mug, a very top quality mug. They turned up the other day and very good. But the best one is socks. Oh.

Yes, I've crypted back the socks. Yes. The best one is shower curtain. Oh, and a shower curtain. Who thought we got to get into the shower curtain business? Shower curtain is your classic... Oh, it's just consistent where you do all your research

buttons. Yes. Is this all your... Your shower research. If you want to be like Buttons and be the number one shower researcher, then you've got to get the shower curtain. The official crypted back the shower curtain.

So there you go. Wow. There's a tote bag and there's a square pillow. Yeah. It's just a lot of items with our logo. Oh. Yeah. So socks.

Are we going to get us all socks? Yeah. I think the notebook's good. There's a notebook there. Yeah. The notebook looks cool. So there you go. It's a whole new step. It's a whole new part now journey.

You want to have some items have something else other than the simple logo on there. What about our names? What about the adventures of Reese, Buttons and Dan, something like that. We're going to build on that.

We're going to keep adding. Tune in every week. There may be new stuff for you to buy every week, people. And if you guys out there do buy some of this stuff, and I know you're well big fans, especially the t-shirts or whatever, let us know and we'll find out what the big sellers are.

Yeah. That's a great idea. You guys buy as much as you can and then we'll report back to you what you've bought. By the way, guys, this is just a nice little thing that's come up. I want to help you out, Buttons, by trying to find your Lizard Man story.

So I put Little Lizard Man Cryptid. I went to Google News and nothing on page one that felt like it was it, got to page two. Third story on page two is did you do this just to annoy me?

And it's an article written by David Farrier about Reese on the X-Files when you were Lizard Man. I've never seen that article. I remember that happening. What did he write that on? He wrote it on the spin-off.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, he's like one of the world's greatest X-Files fans. So when I got that part. I restarted the hijacked David Farrier's X-File dreams. And Reese had watched a few episodes.

You liked it. You're a fan. Oh, yeah. I missed most of it when I was in the army. That's when it was in its They didn't let you believe in that stuff. No, the government told us not to look at that kind of stuff.

Don't see the truth, they said. Why can't we look at that? No, just keep marching. So I found out later on once I'd left the truth behind things. And the truth, it was out there. Was it? Not only did I catch up with it, I became part of it.

Oh, my God. But, you know, it's the greatest thing I've ever done, I think. Apart from the podcast, obviously. Yeah, and obviously, you know, saying yes to the shower curtains design. X-Files don't have a shower curtain. No, I don't think they do.

I don't think they do. No, see. I think we should end on that. It's been a fantastic show. Interesting things happening. Yeah, I was going to go back and, you know, go back and... And time.

And it's not going to, no. It was going to. We were going to tell us what we'd done, but I've forgotten. All right, thanks very much, everyone. Bye, Dan. Love you, Dan. Sleep well. See you, guys.

Love you. Love you. Love you. Love you. Love you. Love you. Love you. Love you.

Love you. Love you. Love you. Love you. Love you. Love you. Love you.
