In this chaotic episode we have Dan battling with psychic abilities, crocodiles mimicking drowning humans, overwhelming feelings of being a mermaid and AI (quite rudely) requesting all humans to die...promptly followed by AI romance! A fresh new book idea is brewing which is fitting as it turns out we are in the midst of the World Smartest Man AND the Stephen Fry of New Zealand and to top it all off, who d...

Jul 16, 2024•1 hr•Transcript available on Metacast In this episode - Rhys is ahead of his time, Dan is listening to the band 'The Lip Slitsticks' and Buttons employs the 'Trisand' effect - making it highly likely that this will be the most listened episode ever!

Mar 04, 2024•1 hr•Ep 89•Transcript available on Metacast 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.

Dec 22, 2023•1 hr 25 min•Ep 87•Transcript available on Metacast 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 C...

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! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....
Jul 14, 2023•1 hr 10 min•Ep 84•Transcript available on Metacast Prepare yourself for this one.

Apr 26, 2023•1 hr 27 min•Ep 83•Transcript available on Metacast 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! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....
Mar 07, 2023•1 hr•Ep 82•Transcript available on Metacast It's Christmas Eve and the team have managed to squeeze in one last session for 2022 - and despite Buttons trying to make this issue edit free to get it out for Christmas day... somehow edits became the main feature!

There's a UOP with a WWI Rocket up his de-militarised zone, nativity cows escaping down a river, a baby Nessie on a beach, a couple of bullsh*t ghosts trying to get into Cryptid Buzz, a pay...
Jan 05, 2023•1 hr 21 min•Ep 81•Transcript available on Metacast Well here we go again!

Dec 09, 2022•2 hr 33 min•Ep 80•Transcript available on Metacast At last, you get to hear how the interruption was concluded! Was it worth the wait? Hmmmm, that's a tricky one. Are you into Krodel Park Shuttle services? Extant Tasmanian Tigers? Short-legged Bigfoot? Canoe hire taxidermy? Then perhaps it is! Also, Dan's book is out (Yay!) and Buttons revolts against Rhys' attempt to keep his editing to schedule. Hence the massive delay in getting this to you. Buttons!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....
Oct 16, 2022•33 min•Ep 79•Transcript available on Metacast This incomplete issue is completely full of complete madness - including Nostradamus and his snow globes, Haunted books evaporating, Rumpology reports in, LA jetpack balloons, some Pulitzer surprises, a dead robot spider and Aliens going through trash caught on camera.

There's big 'plausible' Cryptid news thats got the team excited too! *NEW SEGMENT ALERT* Fan Files! Where we lucky-dip-pick stories sent in from Fans. This inaugural segment sees Geese taken from the deep and Alien Big Cats on the ...
Aug 13, 2022•1 hr 16 min•Ep 77•Transcript available on Metacast Buttons and an exhausted Rhys are in Boston after his tour - so for this episode Rhys decides to take a back seat... or at least he tries to. But with Dan trying to chat to a tarot reading president's granddaughter, a seagull attacking a fishing coach, the NZ public watching poop, 2 x new moon craters, 2 x astrophysicists, lots more Stranger synchronicity Things and a 'That's a recap' and 'Buttons Fairy Time' squeezed in for good measure... I can't imagine Rhys will be in that back seat for long...
Jul 12, 2022•1 hr 13 min•Ep 76•Transcript available on Metacast In here there's animals scared of fruit, UFO hunters hunting doors, Alien hunters (possibly) hearing signals from space and an old black knight that's a long way from hoooooome. Also Rhys has news of a dead giant tuna, Buttons is angry at a newspaper and Dan launches a mission to bring back an Australian Elephant man. Oh, and Henry Hotspur... you get some preemptive (and possibly unwanted) sponsorship! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....
Jul 08, 2022•59 min•Ep 75•Transcript available on Metacast In this issue Buttons gives his masterclass on padding - which is so good that even the internet takes up the skill. There's busy exorcists and satan himself rating apps, Mona Lisa gets cake on her face and Rhys gets a LinkedIn. Also in this ep - Dolphins don't get memories from dolphin-piss, whales do get mistaken for monsters by showing their bits and Buttons don't want you to buy his old Alien book. Oh, there's also some meagre scratchings at some Cryptid news too... but it's all pretty lame....
