    #111 EdFringe LIVE Night Two Issue

    Night two of the Edinburgh Fringe and the boys put whole jail house of stories behind bars.   In this rebellious issue we have backstage gatecrashing, psychic attacks, deceitful leggy leaves, cryptid impersonators, historically resentful house pets, a poorly pulled-off coattail theory theft and the tiniest noisiest cat-erpillar to ever be eye-witnessed.

    #104 The Gardening Angel Issue

    In this flourishing issue, take a gander into the Great Glasshouse, wear a sash in the Seat-less Storeroom and dive deep into a Devalued Diary!  At long last, Buttons reveals the tease of his personal proof of the afterlife and Darbs may actually be one of many Darbs. We have kayakers being swallowed by whales, celebrities and side kicks being harassed by ghost children in haunted ships, and Bigfoot hunts with ex-girlfriends causing dramas in divorce courts. Turns out the FBI might be tapping into your phone line from the comfort of your mothers bedroom, and for the first time ever, we have animals doing perfectly normal things in places they should be...you don’t want to miss this one!

    #108 The Animal Adjacent Issue

    After the tangent filled 107 episode, It’s time for some top-tier tangent-free animal news! (With the disclaimer that 'tangent-free' excludes animal tangents - of which there are MANY!) In this issue, we get answers to the burning questions that we never wanted the answers to, like which host is the funniest? Which host is most likely to survive in the wild? Who is most likely to tame a wild moose whist riding an ancient Moa? Obvious! And, if you wade through this swamp of tangents long enough, you might just spot something that resembles content - such as a neck egg-laying giant snail, fresh Moose sightings in New Zealand, Mermaid’s purses spotted beneath an underwater volcano, Mouse Deer and Flying Squirrels going from extinct to extant as well as a Bigfoot eyewitness account thats fresh off the page! Last and certainly least, theres a dog pushing their owner off a cliff, which leads to the world’s first ever live animal reenactment on a podcast! You don’t want to miss this one!

    #105 The Robot Host Issue

    Well well well, let’s all give a warm virtual welcome to TCF's newest host! He’s so switched on, it’s almost like he’s made for it. Although, we have enough host action going on to keep us entertained with just our regular three: We have a time travelling child host coming back to cosplay as other hosts, a normal travelling host on a mission to coat tail another host, and a celebrity host and a not-so celebrity host meeting celebrity non-hosts, giving celeb-envy to another host…host hosty hosts!  In this flotilla of information you will sail past the first Loch Ness Monster sighting of 2025, adorable wooly mice created by a whole company of genetically engineered employees, national cheesy naan crazes, and World-Record breaking vegetables making some oddly familiar noises.  Hosted on Acast.

    #109 The Heavy Lifting Issue

    With Rhys exhausted from his seemingly endless UK standup tour - Buttons and Dan gallantly decide to do the heavy lifting this episode, and although a wonderful offer, it's not long before the weight becomes too much to bear... for us all! In issue you’ll find giant courting caves, dead dog clouds (and pizza), endangered hotel wake up calls, black icebergs complete with lazy code, an old man walks with lions, revenge of the birds... and stinky skin rust. Naturally. Enjoy the weight Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    #106 The P.S.A Issue

    THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Please take note of the following warnings before proceeding into this issue. TRIPPING HAZARD! Legendary 'Kappa' Hunter's flustered, loosey-goosey balls are rolling around freely in the streets of Japan. BEWARE of Schreiber's Animal Husbandry! In light of animals now being able to talk to humans, please refrain from placing any hands on Dan's new LITERAL chick. And REMINDER to check your call sheet number on today's episode of The Darby Truman Show (proudly brought to you by Name Brand cereal). Also, in this disturbed issue, we have: murderous colleagues stranded in Antarctica, very quiet sounds in a Sasquatch hotspot (audiobook available now... please!), freshly generated footage of the morally questionable Mexican 'Chaneques' goblins, and a new three-day Bigfoot festival in Oregon—which hasn't even happened yet!

    #103 The Or-Fish Issue

    Many say Oarfish are an omen for disaster about to strike - Well consider yourself warned! 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 doesn't love a good cliff hanger?

    Kiwis in America with Rhys Darby

    "In this week’s Flightless Bird, David sits down with Rhys Darby - the New Zealander actor and comedian who’s made America his home. They talk about Darby’s breakout role in Flight of the Conchords - a show some Kiwis out of depth in America. From there, Rhys has cemented himself in what seems to be like every part of American TV and film pop culture - appearing in things like The X-Files, Bob’s Burgers and The Simpson’s - not to mention roles alongside the likes of The Rock and Jim Carrey. David and Rob also note they are doing a live show Feb 8 in Seattle at the Neptune Theatre.

    52: #052 The Halloween Issue

    Welcome to the Cryptid Factors first ever Halloween Special! And given how it all went, it may well just be the last! Rhys, Dan and Buttons bring you a *true* spooky story each, which includes a Vampire, a W*ndigo and Poltergeist. We dare you to see if you can get through the utter scariness of it all (let alone the total messiness)! Also a bonus treat of some NZ based cryptid news and we revisit our old mate Mr Boon to hear one of his wonderful Cryptid ditties! Enjoy! *TRIGGER WARNING* In this episode we discuss the mythological evil spirit of the Algonquian First Nations people. After the episode was recorded we have learnt that it can be insensitive to either write the full name of the creature or to mention its name, as it is believed that doing so can conjure the spirit. For this reason we have muted the word in the episode and altered the name in the episode description. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
