The post Mantastic Podcast Episode 5 : Gadgets and Cryptozoology appeared first on Man Certified.

So we want to talk about some mantastic stuff right?

Well this week we thought we would talk about gadgets you saw on an infomercial or at Bed Bath and Beyond that looked cool you thought it would suck because they usually do and lo and behold they rocked balls.

Then we’re gonna talk some cryptozoology which is a pseudo science to some but really effing important to others.

Let start out with our favorite gadgets or products.

Miracle Thaw Defrosting plate – I know there is some pretty simple science behind but if I think about too much I’ll just piss myself off for not thinking of it so to make myself feel better I consider it a wonder of technology. Anyway you set your meat, frozen meat on this metal plate and  BAM that shit is thawed in an hour or so.

4.) Magic Bullet I know this is a little pricey but I don’t care. I after years of using a stupid blender. One press two presses three presses and your shit is mixed.

3.) Vidalia Chop Wizard – Oh thank heaven for this nifty gadget. I know it has an onion in the title but you can chop all vegetables with it but for chopping onions it is the shit. I hate the smell of raw onions, you can’t the smell off of your hands with anything  not any more pal. This one you can get at bed bath and beyond

2.) Magic Mesh – screen door. This is probably one of my really weird traits. I can stand when people leave doors mainly screen doors open.  I hate flys in the house. I have this vision of Jeff Goldbloom barfing on everything on The Fly and it drives me nuts to have flies in my house. So I am constantly yelling at my kids to close the door, close the door. Well guess what Magic Mesh changes everything. You walk through and as you’re leaving the magnets are closing behind you. It’s the greates invention since yodeling.

1.)  Gardenline Insect Zapper – this coincides with the last. So I had a birthday last month and my mom hands me this tennis racket looking thing and she says “when you have flies in the house you can zap the shit out of them with this.” So you press this button on the side and it livens up the racket part. For the next half hour we were daring each other to touch this thing almost like the drunken shock collar game we played back in the day. But there was no shock. So we see a fly outside press the button act like we’re hitting a backhand and bam this fly is zapped on contact. Holy shit it work and works real well. So now its fun with flies. BTW I know why we don’t cook em up and eat because they smell nasty after being cooked on the Insect zapper.

(from GreekκÏυπτός, kryptos, “hidden” + zoology; literally, “study of hidden animals”) is a pseudoscience involving the search for animals whose existence has not been proven. The animals cryptozoologists study are often referred to as cryptids, a term coined by John Wall in 1983.[1] This includes looking for living examples of animals that are considered extinct, such as non-avian dinosaurs; animals whose existence lacks physical evidence but which appear in myths, legends, or are reported, such as Bigfoot and Chupacabra;[2] and wild animals dramatically outside their normal geographic ranges, such as phantom cats (also known as Alien Big Cats).

Cryptozoology is not a recognized branch of zoology or a discipline of science.[2] It is an example of pseudoscience because it relies heavily upon anecdotal evidence, stories and alleged sightings.[3][4][5]

Mokèlé-mbèmbé, meaning “one who stops the flow of rivers” in the Lingala language is a legendary water-dwelling creature of Congo River basinfolklore, sometimes described as living creature, sometimes as a spirit, and loosely analogous to the Loch Ness Monster in Western culture. It is claimed to be a sauropod by some cryptozoologists.[1]

Expeditions mounted in the hope of finding evidence of the Mokèlé-mbèmbé have failed, and the

subject has been covered in a number of books and by a number of television documentaries. According to skeptic Robert T. Carroll, “Reports of the Mokèlé-mbèmbé have been circulating for the past two hundred years, yet no one has photographed the creature or produced any physical evidence of its existence.”[2] The Mokèlé-mbèmbé and its associated folklore also appear in several works of fiction and popular culture.[1]

A film titled Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend, based on reports of the cryptid, starring William Katt was released in 1985. Another, The Dinosaur Project, was released in 2012, starring Richard Dillane.
