Shoutout to the only podcast I've actually listened to in full and enjoyed every bit, had to break my own art limits for these funny men
(oooh you want to listen to the Cryptid Factor so bad)
With the new Cryptid Factor YouTube channel posting the podcast with ridiculous and hilarious photos, it reminds me of when my fandoms collided a year ago and they appeared in a GISH panel to ultimate mayhem.
Dan Schrieber will say the most insane shit with his full chest and it lodges in my brain like:
1. He joked his laminated list with his wife includes Murray Bartlett and the Yeti
2. He had a ghost experience with his cousins will in a Tibetan hotel room as a child
3. His wife complained to her acupuncturist about trying to concieve their third child and the acupuncturist was so convinced it was Dan's fault the acupuncturist scheduled an appointment for him to get his sperm count checked. THE ACUPUNCTURIST. And God knows why he actually went and when he reached out for the results they had sent the results to the ACUPUNCTURIST and she OPENED the RESULTS. Then told his wife in all her years she'd never seen such strong results.
4. I think his wife or their neighbor hid a copy of Allister Crowley's book in the garden shed and it disappeared and they still don't know what happened to it.
I SHOULDN'T KNOW THESE THINGS but he so cheerfully offers up the most unhinged stories.
