Episode 137 – Cryptozoology Part I: Fake It and Make It

<p>Another Superduperstitious Special Report? Another critical look at the pseudoscientific shenanigans of cryptozoology? BOTH?! What a day!</p><br><p>In this first half of another epic two-part deep dive, the boys examine some cryptozoological coattail riding, Europeans’ long history of “discovering” species that were new only to their white asses, and of course some super cool aminals. Also, apparently a shitload of feral cats were just unleashed upon Chicago, so that’s nice.</p><br><p>The difference between “cryptid” and&nbsp;“not yet known to science” isn’t as black and white as the critters discussed in this episode. Listen in and appreciate that wordplay!</p><br><p><strong>EPISODE LINKS</strong></p><br><p>Palestine resources: <a href="https://oc-palestine.carrd.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://oc-palestine.carrd.co/</a></p><p>Palestinian Centre for Human Rights: <a href="https://www.pchrgaza.org/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.pchrgaza.org/en/</a></p><br><p>Four Phantoms email: fourphantomsbeer@gmail.com</p><p>Four Phantoms website: <a href="https://www.fourphantoms.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.fourphantoms.net/</a></p><p>Four Phantoms store: <a href="https://four-phantoms-brewing-company.square.site/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://four-phantoms-brewing-company.square.site/</a></p><p>Four Phantoms on Untappd: <a href="https://untappd.com/FourPhantoms/beer" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://untappd.com/FourPhantoms/beer</a></p><br><p><strong>SDS PSA</strong></p><br><p>Feral cats in Chicago: <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/may/14/chicago-feral-cats-rat-crisis" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/may/14/chicago-feral-cats-rat-crisis</a></p><p>Bullshit study justifying feral cat program: <a href="https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5789309/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC57893
