Okay a spin off (with all of them) would fix me

There was an August - the ingredients are still up 😔

Welp, just a mysterious lack of the August recording, looks like they aren’t sharing that one

Will report back asap if my soul is soothed

Will I raise my tier to include cocktails that I won’t attend because if I embarrass myself socially to these people it will break my heart, in an attempt to get some closure via going back to a few mins of chat not directed at me? Yes I will. Ffs.

Isn’t the idea Lazy Code? Or is that just bonus shenanigans?

Aw, I subscribed for years, just not at cocktail level. It kind of sucks to have neither heard that bit of chat nor been at Edinburgh.

Even just talking about this now is unlocking how sad I am about it

I feel like I barely react to bad news any more, i just took on them ending it like “welp, of course”. But it was like a friend announcing that they are moving away and just going like that. There’s a hole.

It just felt like an emergency crash out - so I hope they are all okay.

hard same

I’ve gone back to past ones, but I can’t bear to listen to those last episodes. I’m still so confused about why they chose to make those the final ones and not do something at least with more warning. I can’t imagine how wild that must have been for the audience.

Every other podcast feels like something someone’s agent designed for them, or trying to sell something. And with The Cryptid Factor it was just so obvious that it was a fun passion project and they wanted to chat. And there was something special about being invited into that warmly as a listener

No, same, I am so sad about it. I just loved listening to them chatting and enjoying each other’s weird jokes. I’ve never had that kind of dad energy in my life and I got such a kind of parasocial
comfort from it. Maybe that’s weird but the world is so shit and it was just so nice.

GLOWING LIKE THE FIRES OF THEIR LOVE

Thank you 🙏

And also this frame!

It’s incredible seeing all the different art styles and ideas and materials, what a fandom 🩷🩷
