**CLARIFICATION** Around 8:40, John mentions the BLM protests in response to George Floyd's death in 2020. John wants to clarify that he meant George Floyd's death was the problematic and terrible thing, not the protests themselves (which Cryptopedia supported then and now). **CLARIFICATION**
It's finally here. That's right, the lost episode of Cryptopedia is finally getting released. We're covering John's personal sleep paralysis demon the Jersey Devil.

If this episode attempt didn't record properly John was going to delete the podcast from the internet. Luckily it did so Cryptopedia continues on. Anyways, John gets mad at a Creationist and Brandon shares his curses.

It's been 76 episodes since John has done a living dinosaur episode, so strap in because he doesn't even make it past the 1930s on this one before he starts to meltdown. Brandon gets ready for wallet crimes and having an excuse to tell dad jokes.
