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.

89: #089 The 2nd First Issue
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
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
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
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!

Fairy time
Well what can I say. Maybe more episodes would be good…. No this is the best podcast!!!!
I’ve listened from the start and look forward to new episodes each “week” everything you want and I really feel like I know these guys from listening and laughing Along with each episode.
Would love an extra long episode out on the look for some crypteds
I’m sure it does not really exist
Great show with so many funny fantastic story’s, although I’m a bit unsure why the hide the identity of the one known as Buttons judging by how he sounds I’m starting to actually wonder if he is indeed Sasquatchclaws in person?? where better place to hide but on a podcast like this no one would ever expect that hidden in plain site my thoughts are that Reese and Dan found him whilst and decided to do the podcast to give him a home, the lads have got a great vibe going and bounce well off each other great work
It’s not bad just like my Nan
I like it and keeps the dog quiet
