Ever since their childhood days reading the Usborne Book of Ghosts, Hine and Buckley have been obsessing over the mysterious mercurial mammalian Manx marvel - Gef the Talking Mongoose. And finally bringing Gef chat to Vayse is writer, paranormal researcher and selectively supportive spouse to a lard eating champion, Gayle Fidler.

In recent years Gayle and her curious collective of cryptid-hunters have made a pilgrimage to the Isle of Man to investigate Gef and immerse themselves in strangeness of his story. Her incredible adventures include some uncanny synchronicities, an unlikely team-up with a movie star, an unexpected connection to Aleister Crowley... and the unpredictable guidance of a certain Dr Allen Greenfield...

cryptids, cybernetics, dreams, hoaxes, sidevayse, vayse

Despite a case of Covid, political turmoil and relentlessly terrible weather Hine and Buckley bring their weird game for a catch-up conversation based on listener questions. The Vayse cadets consider the burning issues of these uncertain times: how do you rate and compare cryptids? (and is it fair to do that?) Can science ever fully explain the paranormal? Are hoaxes ever ok? (and which of the Vayse boys is a serial hoaxer?) and Hine describes the dream that guided him to the guest for the upcoming season 2 finale... (Recorded 4 July 2024)
