- Comedy
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.

#092 The Trigger Issue
Here we are again - in a scarily regular type fashion! In here theres there's your usual Schreiber wang-ons, Buttons blah-blahs & Darby breakdowns - but in amongst it all there's an ACTUAL EARTH RUMBLING! Also you'll find flying zombie salt shakers, flying spaghetti monsters, haunted swag dolls, Donald Duck call-ups, unlicensed cut-outs, mountain cover-ups, coat-tail ridings, quantum imaginary mates, cringy cameos and conscious shoes. Also we have a seemingly 'fresh' eye-witness account of a Squatch along with some massive Shaq-attack footprints!
**TRIGGER WARNING** For those of you who get easy triggered from excessive trigger warnings... this episode may not be for you!

#091 The Neutral Issue
...aaaaand we're back! This episode sees Hollywood, the UK coast and a dodgy basement come together to bring you: a Texan sized underwater model anomaly, an earthquake predicting doomsday fish, and SpiceGirl singing humpback whale helping humans talk to aliens! Theres also in-mate dating apps, time travelling thespians, vortex ship size guest appearances, alien language outboard motors, hunting permits for Sasquatch along with badly punctuated Bigfoot "sightings". Enjoy!

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!
