  • Bummed.

    Wanted to love this. Love it in theory. In practice, they don't seem to have a full grasp on anything they're discussing. They often conflate cryptids, symbolic myth, and religious/cultural beliefs. They laugh at all three identically, as well, which is extremely off-putting.

    Was trying to be patient with this but just a few eps into my poking around they dropped a Tourette's joke, which seeing as I've been diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome since I was 7 you can imagine I'm exhausted with. Do b... more

    They seem cool, but they just present things they don’t believe, and don’t really seem to have any conviction. They’re just laughing it up often, and I don’t know what’s so funny.

    I love this podcast! I introduced a friend after you did the Copenhagen NY episode. We’ve been to all the locations mentioned in it and are very familiar with the geography. So fun. I’ve developed a crush on Sarge over the airwaves…apparently other’s have as well? Some criticism…..I am concerned over the number of hangovers mentioned. Yes, I am aware that cocktail is in the title. Also from a woman’s perspective some of the banter can be crude and a bit of a turn off. You asked for feedback so t... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Melon Heads of Connecticut (feat Megan Goetz)
Q: What's the real historical basis for the Melon Heads story, if any?
The asylum story lacks archival evidence—no Fairfield County asylum fire is recorded, and documented histories show Fairfield Hills existed with different timelines; the 'real' inspiration is likely a blend of local folklore, misremembered事件, and sensational storytelling rather than a single factual event.
The Melon Heads of Connecticut (feat Megan Goetz)
Q: So how did the Melon Heads originate according to the legends you discussed?
There are two main versions: one involving an asylum fire in Fairfield County that sent survivors into the woods, and a second about a witch-hunt-era family from Shelton-Trumbull that ended up in the forest; both explain head anomalies but differ on cannibalism and time period.
The Kentucky Meat Shower (feat. Kirsten Michelle Cills)
Q: So I guess, Kirsten, before we fully begin, are you, I know you're into horror, you have killer kills on TikTok and stuff like that, but are you a Cryptids paranormal conspiracy kind of gal or?
Kirsten says she's a big cryptid/horror fan, noting that cryptids sparked her interest in horror as a kid.
The Sigbin (feat. Mike Bishop aka Blothar the Berserker of GWAR)
Q: Are you like a cryptid's alien paranormal guy?
Mike confirms he is into cryptids and the mystical/spiritual side of folklore, using these ideas as inspiration for writing and band branding, while acknowledging a non-scientific approach to some legends.
Numbers Stations
Q: What are number stations?
They are anonymous radio broadcasts that consist of voices reading a sequence of numbers or letters, typically in sets that follow a specific structure.
