Robert the Doll - Gene Otto: An Exhausting Man - 111 Apr 25, 2022

We're back! John has a story that takes up the first 25 minutes because his nerdy ass got mono at age 30. Then we talk about one of the most exhausting human beings this podcast has ever covered.

Goatman of Prince George - Goatman: The Sixth Spice Girl - 110 Mar 27, 2022

Show notes

So this episode takes about 20 minutes to reach the cryptid, but John read the synopsis of Spice World and that was his whole day. Which honestly leads perfectly into this week's cryptid, Cryptopedia Discord favorite: Goatman.
