Three best buddies - Rhys Darby, Dan Schreiber, and Leon 'Buttons' Kirkbeck bring you The Cryptid Factor - a podcast dedicated to all things weird that are yet to be defined by science.Since 2008 they have passionately (and often awkwardly) been discussing 'cryptids' and monsters like Yeti, Chupacabra, Bigfoot and Nessie - as well as weird news of the world, UFO's, Time travellers, robots and space stuff.Though they take these pseudosciences as seriously as they can, they struggle to take themselves seriously at all.Hosted by comedian and actor Rhys Darby, star of top rating podcast 'No Such Thing as a Fish' Dan Schreiber - and Pulling it all together is their best friend, 'Buttons'. If anything goes wrong, it is probably his fault.

#099 The X Issue

jeudi 3 octobre 2024 • Duration 01:28:20

99!! At LAST!! it's the penultimate to the ultimate 100 issue - and as per usual it's full of epic craziness. In here the AI bot team wreak havoc in the background producing fake news, there's Kings in UFOs, bees in showers, secret sightings of an old Oasis, copyright threats from Bono and 99 bottles of Bigfoot casts on the wall. Also get ready for a super exciting revival of the age old segment 'Expedition Update' with the team from the hit TV show Expedition X. Jessica and Phil fill us in on their expedition to Loch Ness - as well as deal out some heart felt appreciation for the Cryptid Factor team's Nessie inspiration.

Enjoy!

Here we go again! In here you'll find a GI hunting for a costume, dead rockers in finger tattoos, vampire and bogeyman warfare, and monoliths found in the wild (yet again) Also you'll hear of self cloning mutant crayfish become old news and an eyewitness account of bad parenting. Enjoy!

89: #089 The 2nd First Issue

Episode 89

lundi 4 mars 2024 • Duration 59:37

Well, here we are in 2024 - and while we wait for Ep88 to become hot enough to drop... we have for you here the second recorded episode to be released first (in typical Cryptid Factor confused fashion!) In it you'll find news of disappearing towers, Uri Geller blowing his own mind by remembering he saw aliens, lots of bugs up a Florida mans nose, a big cat sighted in Scotland and a Big Foot running on the slopes. Also Rhys auditions to be a Frank Phantom, Dans has tales of optical illusions from his front yard, and Buttons is in Melbourne at his very own gun-show. Enjoy!!
**TRIGGER WARNING** We talk about bugs up a mans nose... and it's not very pretty.

87: #87 The Late Night Issue

Episode 87

vendredi 22 décembre 2023 • Duration 01:25:15

In the last of the 'All Together in LA' series, Rhys kindly pops back from one of his many other dimensions to join a very tired Dan and Buttons in the task of stringing sentences together. In here you'll find an (almost) concise history of a Giant Rock and the people that lived under it, a dead Vampire lair dug up, a billionaire blood junkie, some taxidermied bird drones and some seagull and husband calling competitions. Also in fresh news - it turns out The Cryptid Factor is big in Belgium! Who'd have thought? Eet smakelijk!

86: #86 The Unforgettable Issue

Episode 86

mardi 28 novembre 2023 • Duration 01:27:21

Hot on the heels of the last old episode, this new old episode is jam packed full of ancient chat… mainly about Button’s ancient (and very legal) ayahuasca ceremony, some ancient tree breasts, and Dan correctly predicting how long it would take to get this ancient episode out. Outside of that hot mess, there’s also scantily-clad deer-lickers, excited Swiftie forgetfulness, ejaculating nets, Instant coffee TV ad premonitions, Big foot sightings with red-eye reductions, Wolverine infestations in California, and a reduced prize for Nessie proof. Also, get ready for an ayahuasca fuelled Button’s Theory Time that proves at last that we’re all in a simulation…Oooooh!!!

85: #085 The Yay or Nay Issue

Episode 85

jeudi 9 novembre 2023 • Duration 01:25:43

The team are in Hollywood together and have organised a playdate with Oscar, Emmy and Grammy award winning film composer George Michael! (formerly known as Michael Giacchino). Also, seeing as Aliens won’t get out of the news of late, this is an Alien Special - with news of 8ft non-humans driving front-end loaders, loads of big UFO words in Congress, Highways performing cattle mutilations, a woman having hundreds of alien babies, UFO rodeos and teenage aliens stealing time travel machines to get cow tongues from the past for restaurants in the future. Also, Buttons gets his Theory scored… and let’s just say it didn’t get a 10/10. Enjoy!

84: #84 The Backpack Issue

Episode 84

vendredi 14 juillet 2023 • Duration 01:10:08

And we’re back! It’s been a long time since Mothers day, but it’s finally out! In here you’ll get some camouflage chaos, some screaming plants, and a tiny crypto-museum that gets huge ‘shribe-reveal’! We also got some box creature with too many eyes, a squatch safe zone, a giant killer tadpole and AI trying to kill the patty film buzz. Oh, and our old mate ‘Old Bond’ tries to make an expensive comeback… bless!

83: #083 The Dusty Old Brain Stairwell Issue

Episode 83

mercredi 26 avril 2023 • Duration 01:26:35

Prepare yourself for this one. Not only is it packed full of all your usual Mammoth Meatballs, Ketchup Elvis hunters, Turkey Claus, Wolf-Tang Clams, Roast Beef Mothman, Bigfoot bathing, Mothership full of Alien Drones and a terrified son of Buttons... but we also get a rare peek inside Rhys' head to meet all the characters that live in there and try to make it work... and fail! Oh, and Harvard Astrophysicist AVI LOEB joins us for a quick Galileo update, to exponentially raise the IQ level and to give Dan a quick roasting. Enjoy!

**This Ep is brought to you by Rax Roast Beef, Impossible Burgers, Beyond Burgers, Mammoth meatballs, Heinz Ketchup, BMW and Button's wife's App.

82: #082 The Just Not Great Issue

Episode 82

mardi 7 mars 2023 • Duration 59:34

At last the world has a chance to hear Episode 82 - although will they really want to? Despite being filled to the brim with Bear faces on Mars, Mystery Sausages in mailboxes, Predictable Asparagus Fortune-tellers, an Eyewitness Account of a Mothman sighting (complete with homemade spooky music)... it's just... well, not great. You be the judge!
